The narrative given by that article around Detroit's actions isn't very compelling to me. Just claiming that they "got pissy" and so forth doesn't make it so.

In fact, there appears to be some evidence to the contrary. There are articles which claim DWSD offered a substantially lower rate in order to retain Flint's business during negotiations [1] and that they agreed to waive the (sizable) re-activation fee [2] when Flint began to second guess their decision.

Besides, let's keep in mind that Detroit is also an aging, near bankrupt city with far more obligations than tax payers. Both Flint and Detroit have been (or were) taken over by governor appointed emergency managers. This is a tragedy and the appropriate heads should roll, but the blame should be assigned based on hard evidence.

Long history, plus a history of apparently being able to do things normal users can't do.

Plus, of course, dang doesn't claim to be anyone famous, merely a mod of this discussion forum. You can't impersonate someone who's only famous for being able to do maintenance-type things around here: If you can do those things, you're a mod, and if you can't, nobody cares.

What decisions are they making for you? It's your decision to opt in to their system by buying. As a technologist you have a good idea how to spot the crappy ones that can put you at risk- or would just (rightly) assume that something like an internet connected Elmo is a bad idea. It's the general population that we have to worry about, as they'll be the ones most seriously harmed (identity theft is the thing I worry most about any of this) by these things going awry. They may also not even put things together that some of these devices could be or are internet connected in the first place, where to us it's obvious that there must be network connectivity of some sort.

That being said, let the bad actors fail. Let their names get dragged through the mud, let the big companies sober up after a few too many VTech/Mattel/LG style failures that make the headlines. Let them either back out of the market because this shit is hard to keep secure, let them work with someone who can, or let them triple down and figure it out themselves. We're going to see a lot of failures, but we'll be better for it.

I've connected my own devices around my house (securely), use z-wave, and consumer home automation hubs/hardware, as well as some well known stuff like Nest and Amazon Echo. I don't ever want to go back to NOT having these things.

I've accounted for many of the likely failure points by these very well regarded manufacturers and I've firewalled my network very tightly, among many other things. But damn it, I've seen the future and I don't want to go back. It's too nice, too convenient, and adds too much real value.

It's your decision to buy their goods, no one should be preventing anyone from trying to enter the market just because you get the heebie jeebies or don't see the value. Someone else does- or no one else does and they fold up shop.
Well written. Great post. Thanks for that.

"People can jump between Ember apps and be productive straight from the get-go. Another thing that blew my mind was that Ember encourages developers to write code in ES6 way and manage asynchrony with promises. I bet many JavaScript developers have only vaguely heard about these things as “The future of JavaScript”, while Ember developers are using it for quite some time, by default."

In order to compete against LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics, Theranos needs to offer a full range of lab tests. If they are still scaling up then it might make sense to outsource some tests even if they lose money doing it in order to build market share and test out their processes. And then they can gradually start doing more and more of those tests in house in order to bring costs down. (But I have no idea what's going on in Theranos or if they have legitimate reasons.)
The article is full of misrepresentations. First off, GCC was written from scratch (because the pastel compiler had some design issues), which is evidenced in the quote the author provides. However, the whole thing reads as a "we'd be better off without Stallman" piece, using words like "tired", *exhausted" and claiming that because Richard didn't write any papers on compilers that he must've not done many new things while writing GCC.

I'm not sure why the author seems to have a grudge against Stallman, but I'd invite them to reconsider.
Not sure how I got that wrong, but, yeah, you're right! I still prefer JSON5 for being ECMAScript-compliant.
I'd be interested in seeing a benchmark of something like cmus or even Winamp vs something using browser-based tech like Spotify or this. My hunch is that it's a huge difference. I typically use my phone to play Spotify / SoundCloud to wireless headphones to save the CPU overhead at work.

Best part is, the media does your advertising for you by convincing terrified citizens that they're going to get taken out in a mass shooting at any second, while the actual odds are substantially less than those of getting struck by lightning.

I can't tell if this is played straight or a satire. It sounds like a dystopian ad from something like Blade Runner.
Unfortunately it is not very descriptive, nor the term most GPS units use. The question that comes to mind when I see the phrase is "match a map with what?" Even the article you linked to begins with a pretty opaque sentence:

Map matching is the problem of how to match recorded geographic coordinates to a logical model of the real world, typically using some form of Geographic Information System.

That sounds like something far more general than "snap to road", which is what this feature is doing; nothing more or less.
What is the purpose of the .note section? If it is left out, it appears from ktrace that the kernel assumes the binary uses some other ABI, e.g., Linux, etc. (compat_linux, etc.) and the /emul shadow directory gets searched.

The Trouble with the TPP, Day 12: Restrictions on Data Localization Requirements
I didn't install and run the code, but this appears to be a wrapper for performing a search across these sites via browser...i.e. you specify a provider and the query, and the browser pops open with the properly formatted URL, rather than it doing the query, scraping the results and streaming into stdout.

Because I was thinking, there's no way it could be this easy to programmatically search Google:

https://github.com/zquestz/s/blob/master/providers/google/go...

func (p *GoogleProvider) BuildURI(q string) string {
return fmt.Sprintf("https://www.google.com/search?q=%s", url.QueryEscape(q))
}
That's the old (1966) paper, not the 2006 reflections.
I've noticed this yesterday in a flight just before landing and I found it funny how the airplane was following the roads each for a few seconds before snapping of.

I also confirm it snaps on both google maps and apple maps with airplane mode turned on, most probably due to caching.

I've also found it amazing that the iPhone 6S held the cache of a map 3000km away after 3 days abroad, with intermittent wifi and lots of google maps and safari use.
My bank did this. They had actually made a mistake on their end; one of their reps put a hold on my account (presumably a suspicious transaction), but didn't put it in right so it registered as being my request.

I called up, asking why there was a hold, they said I put it there, I said I didn't. There was a long pause, followed by "for security reasons, we won't be able to help you with anything related to your accounts until you come into a branch and present photo ID".

It was a bit inconvenient, but I have to say I was pretty impressed.

GCC transition from 3 to 4 didn't break the ABI. The last required ABI break was 3.0 to 3.1.
I believe the real issue here is its not uncommon for spam services to try to locate valid email addresses. Generally, an email server won't accept email to an invalid users and will probably start flagging the incoming server/domain as those attempts start to cross a threshold of some sort. OP is talking about *@example.com as a catchall which means a spammers script will sit there and email a dictionary of usernames against your domain until it crosses it's own threshold. It's not too hard to add an alias for each name as you go along but it really depends whose list your domain gets on.
Totally fair, but I highly doubt "creating busywork and making employees less efficient" is tied to profits in a positive way either.
The "encryption" looks like it's just a polynomial function, which would certainly be very easy to "reverse engineer" using the usual mathematical regression techniques. The Baidu one which is also mentioned in your link looks even simpler.

# Volleyy Pitch

Volleyy is the tool for generating emails your subscribers love to read. We separate email content generation from aesthetics, and let you focus on getting your message across.

We've taken away the run-of-the-mill templates found in existing solutions and let you take the wheel with our (medium.com style) blogging interface.

We deliver your emails with a simple (and consistent) theme, tested for user-friendliness and ease of navigation (Get a sneak peek here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/nnoduka/volleyy.jpeg)
Yep, the readme says:

>Web search from the terminal. Just opens your default browser.
Why would it be more effective than peer and student review? I'm not saying that those are effective systems on their own (the bigger argument is whether academia is interested in "watchdog" regulation of instructional quality, which I would argue, "No")...but I don't think too many people are going to be enthusiastic about "ineptness" being quantified by what's found on a syllabus.

It'd be like writing a tool that evaluated developers based on what languages or libraries they used, as found on their Github repos.
How long can a Boeing 747 stay in the air with unlimited mid-air refueling?
Correct, I am not a fan of listing the results in the terminal itself. I like the flexibility of it loading in a browser so I can click around after the search. It also makes adding additional search providers much much easier.
Yeah, I was thrown off by the repo description -- "Open a web search in your terminal." -- and just dived into the repo before getting to the README.
I do wish the more mainstream companies stopped the JS-based-app trend. Spotify was snappy a few years ago and is now a resource hog. And don't even mention the Slack Mac app...

Refute my reason then, will you.

I have DECADES of knowledge on this subject. I swear I can refute anything you could possibly espouse.
You're just restating what I said with just more words. But, you don't propose an alternative simulation model.

I would say that the simulation is actually generous. Wealth is correlated with power. Power creates opportunities for exploitation. I know of very few examples where this is not the case.
An indirect and undocumented decision, apparently, based on this somewhat confusing list of "activity types":

I hope for your sake that the political winds never blow a little differently, then.
I recommend Gandi. They support almost all the TLDs, their web UI is very decent, their support is excellent and they live up to their "No bullshit" motto. They are also overall good guys, donate to the EFF, took public stances against sopa and such...

They're a bit more expensive when it comes to domains but we're talking single dollars a year here.
This is not a good simulation of an economy: there is no wealth creation.
`To drink tea` as a slang in Chinese means to be asked to talk with authority, especially the police, etc., which is generally not regarded as a good thing.

Similarly, `to check the water meter` and `to receive a post package` mean the police to come to your door, as the police are thought to be disguised as staff from tap water company/package delivery company, in both cases, you are about to open the door.
I hear this all the time for various webapps and I'm curious about why. Is it because you want to be able to cmd/alt-tab rather than ctrl-tab to the window?
To follow up: I did do a quick modification of the test harness using a gigantic mbox file I had and some really crappy MIME parsing code.
$ ./email
input size: 86023056 (that's only base64-encoded text, this is a ~562MB file).
improved scalar... 1.528
scalar... 1.564 (speed up: 0.98)
SSE... 1.533 (speed up: 1.00)
Null... 1.447 (speed up: 1.06)

So about 5% of the test was spent doing base64 decoding, and the improved scalar had a 48% over regular scalar and SSE had a speedup of 40% over regular scalar on just the base64 section. So the short conclusion is that SSE doesn't really get any speedup on short strings.

The additional test code, for full disclosure (yes, it's not correct, but this is easier to code and get some numbers rather than nothing. A more correct solution would really hurt the SSE bit more than other ones.):

template <typename T>
void run_email(T callback) {
static std::string cte{"content-transfer-encoding"};
std::ifstream mbox("/tmp/test.mbox");
std::string line;
bool inHeader = true;
bool base64Body = false;
while (std::getline(mbox, line)) {
if (line[line.length() - 1] == '\r')
line.pop_back();
if (inHeader) {
std::transform(line.begin(), line.end(), line.begin(), ::tolower);
if (line.find(cte) == 0 && line.find("base64") != std::string::npos)
base64Body = true;
if (line.empty())
inHeader = false;
} else {
if (line.substr(0, 5) == "From " || line.substr(0, 2) == "--") {
inHeader = true;
base64Body = false;
continue;
}
if (base64Body) {
while (line[line.size() - 1] == '=')
line.pop_back();
while (line.size() % 16 != 0)
line.push_back('A');
uint8_t *text = (uint8_t*)&line[0];
callback(text, line.size(), text);
}
}
}
}
Oh, you can alright. Stock-options in startups, for example, are little more than pretend, considering the actual chances you'll see any money from them.

In the end, to be honest, I'd rather have pretend-decision-sharing than pretend-ownership, i.e. businesses that are egalitarian on paper but not in reality. Europe is full of "service co-ops" where people are members in theory but simple employees in practice, orgs built just to game taxes or minimum-wage regulations. That's the worst.
Apologies if you think me asking for world-view-context via the GPs age was immature...

I dont fuck around with my credibility

This country is fucked. The whole system is fucked.

Do I really need to spell it out for you? If you want to say it is NOT fucked -- then please enlighten me!!! PLEASE

I need some hope - but other than what I see what is going on -- THERE IS NONE

So, give me some, please.
> no one cares how you think the laws should be. The laws are the way they are.

The laws are the way they're written, and the way they're read, and open to discussion and revision on both sides. If you're upset or threatened by that (and I can't see any other reason for some of the gratuitous hostility in your comment), perhaps your position isn't anywhere near as strong as you might like your bluster to communicate, and perhaps it would be better to find some less distressing activity with which to pass time than discuss it on the internet.

> the police can detain you if they have reasonable suspicion to believe you are involved in a crime in any way

This isn't the point of contention at all. That's whether it's reasonable and legal to deny detainees access to a toilet on the basis that they might escape or might destroy evidence.

It's not really that strange when you think about it. We are animals that have biological urges. However, we are social animals that live in a society. As a result, we must balance our biological pressures with our societal ones.

Let's just take the first example - teens who do not want to get pregnant.

I'm not sure what you find strange about this. Teenagers will feel the desire to have sex, but they (and/or their families) will be aware that having a baby at a young age can limit your freedom later in life. Thus, teenagers are told to either wait until they are older to have sex, or be sure to use contraception.

> It seems... strange, to expect responsibility and prioritization of biological goals from people at some times and not others.

Control over our base biological goals is a key part of what makes us civilised.
