Patriotism can be as deeply ingrained in people as religious beliefs. From an outsiders perspective the US seems like one of those countries where people defend it blindly like they would a religion.
I think you need to report in any case, the $10,000 might be a threshold below which the bank does not inform you to the USA. The real threshold below which the bank needs to look at you is $50,000, or if you have stocks, funds, or investment-grade products, such as some insurances, $0, but some banks are using a lower threshold. Also do note that this is for preexisting accounts - new accounts need to be looked at and can end up being reported irrespective of the amount they hold.
Actually, for most use cases, newest update wins is sufficient if it can be done on a fine granular basis (one property of an object/document).
It's what web applications have been doing for forever and being a 'realtime' framework doesn't change this if your use case isn't something like google docs.
Excellent question :-)

How to Bring Transparency in a Non-Transparent Work Culture
Maybe because of Kyle's decision to not give long speeches last season (:
Twisted is a general purpose library/framework with lots of features. This is the "huge" part. In my previous projects I have used it a lot and appreciated it.

What I was trying to tell is if Scrapy uses only small part of library, it may be possible for developers to use similar constructs from Python's standard library. In any case dependency is dependency and it is always better to minimize code footprint.
I created Gains Supply because I'm interested in bodybuilding and I'd genuinely like to start a community that features and discusses helpful articles and products in that niche. I Hope posting it here doesn't come across too spammy, just looking for early users.
Personally, I think the time spent on such visualizations is better spent on proper documentation, which is often inadequate. And by proper documentation, I don't mean one sentence per function. Also more useful, I think, is to enhance the documentation with comments for feedback or general user discussions. In that case, if the documentation is lacking, at least the user base can educate itself.

Just my personal opinion.
How would that apply to self-driving cars, though?

I lived in Nigeria during a period of violence when thousands died. One of my enduring memories was the reactions of the Americans living there at the time. They were so sure that the army would come and save them and when it didn't they were dumbfounded. When someone from the US eventually turned up after the violence had all died down all the US citizens were offered was the opportunity to be part of the convey out of the city.

I wonder where the dead set certainty that the army will save them comes from?
In the early days of mass commercial computing -- minis and mainframes -- there was a lot of research into workstation ergonomics. Sensible countries even wrote recommendations into law, to protect the health of their workers.

Needless to say, long-time programming on a laptop breaks all the rules, and is highly likely to result in long-term physical pain. Sometimes it's disabling.

Why do people do it?
I suppose I should've added more :P's and ;)'s
The CPU has a burned-in microcode. It can be updated after the CPU is booted, but the updates are only written to RAM and lost on shutdown.

Usually the system firmware will include a recent-ish microcode and automatically update on boot. Many OSs also bundle microcode updates and install them on boot.
And then you do infinite copying if you're catenating a string with itself.

I guess I was wondering if it was possible to request an audio stream from a safari user (rather than play one to them).

My understanding is that the html5 api calls for this return null (i.e. they are unimplemented).

I guess I was hoping that you guys had polyfilled in a (ew) flash plugin which is the only way to do this at the moment, giving google hangouts a monopoly.

Maybe I have to write a framework ha! Even better, expose an api for me to build this into via a community package and make wrappers for meteor! (lol)
If you're not using TXT, your full disk encryption is completely useless if an attacker can get access to your laptop for 5 minutes¹. They can just backdoor the bootloader (or, on Linux, your kernel/initramfs which are not encrypted) to get a foot into your system at the highest level of privileges.

If you're using TXT, maybe the NSA can still do that by getting the ACM signing keys from Intel. But that's still an improvement from just the standard FDE setup most people use, which could be trivially hacked by someone with the skill of an average university student.

¹ Make that 15min if you have a BIOS password and a static boot order that disallows booting on any kind of external device. It just requires a bit more preparation, but on most laptops it's not hard to put a clip on the NVRAM that stores BIOS settings and reset what needs to be reset.
It's a new project, but it's made up of very established modules and libraries. It's an aggregation of a bunch of tools which work well together but without locking you in to any of them.

For simple cases like a German with only German income filing in Germany, yes. But you do that yourself, if you spend a few hours reading up on the deductions. In the case of the OP, there is no 'upside' (i.e., potential to get a return if your deductions are high enough); it'll cost you if you made any money, regardless of whether it's been taxed already elsewhere. Plus what the others have said.
A couple of things on the "lawyers" and "management" points.

The "DoD's clarifying guidance" he's talking about is almost certainly this[1]. It's got some good information about open source in general, even if it is a little dry.

If you can prove that there is support and training available for a piece of software and you can get it approved by your local information assurance officer then you can put it on the Air Force network. As far as getting it approved by your local IAO; let's say you want Python on your computer and the IAO says no then you can point to your local Redhat server (which comes already built with Python) and point out that you have already accepted any risks associated with Python by using Redhat. Another good resource for getting management to buy off on any risk is the EPL[2]. If the software is on that list then someone else in the Air Force is already using it, and the software has already gone through an approval process.

The irony is that if you are running Prime95 and overclocking, Intel should love you, because you are going to be in the market for a new processor much sooner than the average user.

Prime95 slowly cooked several PCs that I had the pleasure of supporting through my years in college.

I love what Prime95 wants to do, but consumer PCs are not usually designed/maintained with 100% CPU usage in mind.

The Android browser used to implement it, before Chrome for mobile came along. I think text reflow appeals to a certain kind of power user but is confusing for most users. So it sounds like a good feature for Opera, but not for mainstream browsers.
This was my immediate question. If the "faculty do the research, write the papers, referee papers by other researchers, serve on editorial boards, all for free", and then are forced to "buy back the fruits of [their] labour at outrageous prices", why do academic institutions even bother paying money to these companies? If the refereeing is being done for free, naively it surprises me that universities haven't just set up an independent organisation to do peer reviewing.
I find Foursquare's app much much superior than all-- too bad they're gotten a confused reputation over the years. But from an app UI/UX perspective, it shocks me why anyone would use Yelp's app over Foursquare.

Surprisingly enough, the relevant State guidance does say that the US will not prevent an individual from renouncing his or her citizenship even if they do not have another allegiance, though it recommends the consular official specifically warn such people of the difficulties of being stateless.

I've only known one truly stateless individual, but he was an Air Force officer in FRY who was in the U.S. on a joint NATO program when the civil war started, so the Pentagon worked with State to give him special status. Not the usual case.
I called the police for something a couple years ago, and when I asked for a card after it was over she gave me a card where one of her names was pre-scratched out, I forget if it was her first or last.
Great question. The granularity of your synchronization impacts the user experience, and sometimes the product offering itself. It can go from "replace the whole object" all the way to "string operations are merged without conflicts to match user intention", with "centralized resource locking" somewhere along the way.

The goal product-wise is to ensure intention preservation, but that is hard to achieve in general as intention is tied to what the product does.

For instance, if you have an integer and an increment operation, say, in a HN-like app to track upvotes. If your synchronization simply resets modified values with a newest-win approach, the following situation would lose an upvote: you have 5 upvotes, A and B both upvote you simultaneously, each setting the number of upvotes to 6. The server tells A that the number of upvotes has been set to 6, then tells B the same thing, and they are both happy. However, product-wise, it should have been 7 instead.
I don't understand. If you've given up your citizenship, you are no longer a US citizen. Why would they have any liability?
Why not have the council that fronted the money setup a consulting gig with other councils to recoup the initial cost?
This, pretty much. Not to mention that, beyond languages, data is often 1-based indexed. I have never gotten a patient data set with ID=0 as the first entry. In my mind, compatibility with what users are expecting, and trying not to induce indexing errors, trumps most other concerns.

I have been 'required' to install BIOS updates before. PS3 lost capability's at one point in an update and new games forced that update without mentioning it on the packaging.

Maybe you're right when speaking of "samplers", however modern synthesizers and digital instruments are far away from just playing pre-recorded sounds. There are digital instruments that do not use samples at all, but use simulation-based methods instead. Also the ones using samples, are much, much more sophisticated than simple "hitting a key plays a prerecorded sample..."
Even without updating, depending on version and on use use ,opera communicated with servers or even gets whole pages. So i'm not sure this strategy would work.
I said cheaper, not better :)

You can obviously do buried fiber, but it may or may not be cheaper than sewer fiber in cities. Aerial is cheaper to install, but as noted has its downsides. It depends on the circumstances whether aerial is cheaper in the long run or not.

Aerial will however in most circumstances be cheaper than sewer fiber, even if you have to patch it up once I a while. Good design helps in that, even if you do end up repairing it.
3 Ways That the Blockchain Will Change the Real Estate Market
I agree. If you build it, they will come. And who knows what or who 'they' are. But while Google is spending millions putting fiber to every door in a few select cities, huge portions of the country still only have dial-up and satellite as options.

That doesn't mean Google shouldn't be spending millions to do it. That would be the same argument as 'why are we spending billions to go to space when people are starving' -- I read an article once that I can't find now, it was titled something like 'why we should do awesome things'. Of course, we should feed the starving AND go to space AND do other awesome things.

My main issue was, the article and company seemed to imply that the local WISP was impeding their ability to get funding to run fiber, when, for the last 10 years, that WISP was probably that community's only source of broadband. It did not say if they actively fought them, or it was simply their presence that was the issue.

Nope. You must file FBAR for all of your accounts only if the sum of them ever exceeded US$10,000 during the year. That requirement has been around for many years.

The IRS rules concerning FBAR are here: https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Emplo...

And the pertinent text from that page:
"Who Must File an FBAR
United States persons are required to file an FBAR if:
1. the United States person had a financial interest in or signature authority over at least one financial account located outside of the United States; and
2. the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year reported."

FATCA is a new burden on foreign financial institutions that requires them to report to the US government on US citizens who have accounts at their institutions. It's meant banks in several countries have refused services to US citizens and closed their accounts.
You need to get past a mental block. If you want to go forward. You not looking for the 99%. There are roughly 300 million people in US. if you want to create a business that does $100 million/yr. You only need to collect $2.8/mo from 1% of the population. So, if 99 out of 100 people think your idea is the dumbest idea ever but 1 person thinks it's the best idea ever you may be on to something.

I agree. It's kind a dilemma - seeing atheism as a movement or ideological group with (inofficial) "leaders" turns it into just another type of institutionalized herd mentality thing. Yet if people don't do that but just don't go to church, institutional religion always will be stronger and better at bringing people together, which in turn makes it harder for people who just don't go to church (or mosque or whatever) to defend the freedom to not do that without being bothered.
The thing is: what's the purpose of finding "the algorithm" guilty of a crime? A company owns assets that can be used to pay fines and damages, and as a semi-autonomous entity (in the sense that "it" still exists even if all of its owners and workers are replaced) it can be prohibited or forced to do something. An algorithm, on the other hand, owns nothing and its actions are wholly dependent on the people that program and configure it.

If the purpose is to account for freak events where the algo misbehaves for reasons that couldn't be foreseen, is that any different than a (non-autonomous) vehicle part failing despite being well-designed and maintained? This is not a new situation - an algorithm is just another car part. You don't need to give legal personality to the fuel injection pumps or the steering column in case it fails unexpectedly.
I've only heard similar comment from accountants.
I am not sure whether providers/customers really care about that.
In fact I think accounts say that just because it was something new (so more work for them to learn).
WCF Security Survival Guide
Besides it being utterly ridiculous to have a mining chip in your computer, you are ignoring that Bitcoin is terrible for micropayments.

1) The blockchain can handle approximately 3 transactions per second, which if actually spread evenly across the day (which they wouldn't be), it can handle around 260,000 transactions per day. A website like the New York Times does over 1MM unique per day.

2) In order to get settlements on your transactions, you have to pay a fee or else miners will ignore you. Current fees are around the equivalent of $0.04 USD. So your 1 cent transaction will not only bound up the network, but also cost you 5 cents to actually get processed.

Bitcoin is not now, nor will it ever be, a feasible solution for micropayments. And the ridiculous 21.co mining rig is even more ridiculous of a solution.

Do you get good results? I just tried it out and it most of the articles didn't work. I'm hoping it's just because of a traffic spike.
I didn't say the quoted section was false, I just said it was inaccurate because it gives an inaccurate impression of what was happening in the original article. Without reading the article, you might think that she was fired due to the 'chilling effects' of non-competes. However, in this case, the threat was more tangible. Her new company didn't just find out about the non-compete 'through the grape vine', they found out because the previous company forcefully notified them. This gives a much greater indication of intent to sue then if the prior company had kept quiet about it, as they apparently did for most other employees. Remember, it was apparently a well-known fact that employees from her firm occasionally moved to 'competing' firms. This was why she wasn't initially worried about the non-compete in the first place, because she didn't think they would enforce it. Reuters probably got rattled once they saw that Law360 was serious about the non-compete.

Technically, Reuters could have gone to court on her behalf but why bother unless she was some highly sought-after journalist? Intimidating letters are meant to make you weigh your choices carefully. Also, while Law360 didn't literally sue her, it gave every indication that it intended to if she continued at Reuters.
