It does emphasize fear of jail / prison, as well as that treatment "non normal" people often get at the hands of authority who may not be equipped to deal with, or understand them.

Many more people fall into this scenario than we may think at first glance.

The angry, defiant tagger, rightfully worries over how petty crime charges can escalate into something much more ugly.

Good project for someone: measure mail propagation delays through various services.
They made it impossible for the new versions of the hardware, I think. (The Secure Enclave, in the phones that have it, would delete the decryption keys stored within it after receiving ten incorrect auth attempt requests from the CPU. The Secure Enclave cannot be updated—as far as we know—to be brute-force-able.)

It's just the old versions, before Apple started making privacy a political tentpole, that they could ever manage to backdoor in this particular way. That's still bad—but what Apple are mainly worrying about is that this precedent would force them to aid the FBI in other act-of-creation ways, not just in ways involving introducing backdoors.

The FBI might compel Apple to, for example, build a monitoring and clustering service into iTunes Genius/Apple Music to de-anonymize people through their music preferences; or they might request Apple build a facility to censor all messages travelling through APNS that mention the names of informants in active sting operations. Or they might compel Apple to build a secret CPU ring-0 elevation handshake into the A10 chip.

Even if the new generation of iOS devices was completely un-backdoor-able, and the usage of the old generation was effectively nil, that still wouldn't minimize the FBI's request. The FBI are likely much more concerned about all the orders they could give to, effectively, turn Apple's engineering talent into a domestic-surveillance consultancy.

I've found that to be true as well. Driverless cars can work reliably in a strictly controlled environment such as the Google campus gated community, but have very little chance of reliable functioning in the real, gritty world full of variables and uncertainties.

Worse yet, driverless cars will be forced to make tough ethical choices. Imagine a driverless car's brakes fail and it is headed for a pregnant woman. Should a car steer off the road and possibly kill the passenger(s) in order to save the pregnant woman? Who gets to decide what is the correct choice?

Paul we do treat BOTH text and visual graphs as first class citizens. Luna's compiler is all about AST modification. In fact Luna provides few different AST models, the most important are:

1) Standard AST - one that is a common and extendible syntax representation. Both the textual code as well as visual graphs are able to translate to and from this AST model. To be most precise - both representations are just some kind plug-ins (with some funny type-level-safety built-in) over this AST representation, so they are both first class citizens and they are completely equal to each other.

2) Core AST - a desugared, type-checked, minimal lambda calculus language, that is used to perform all sort of optimizations before next steps towards generating the target code (assembly / js).

We treat the graphical interface exactly the same way, never favoriting any representation over the other. If you would like to develop another one, like natural language input, you have just to provide methods for translating it to and from AST and our infrastructure delivers everything you need to translate it to and from visual or textual one.

I hope this spots a light over the internal design of Luna :)
That's true, but you need to solder, as you say, six resistors and and a capacitor, which quickly becomes a tangle of wires. I prefer breakouts just because they're a very cheap and good way to avoid this.

The most important bit is that Apple can (and in fact, was asked to) make the change only work on a single phone. As in, there is no fear of it "falling into the wrong hands" as the FUD goes. If you believe in the security of cryptography, then you believe they can make this change cryptographically device locked.
I certainly agree with you, but in that specific case I am seeing, those are the major players, there is other factors like being assassinated and kidnapped to nowhere, but that have decreased in my country in the last few years, in 2011, essential food prices has gone too high, and when the people went out and protested (it was a real mess), the government took actions immediately, but since the, they kept people busy with other factors, that prices have gone high again (higher than last time) yet no one is caring.
The claim I made is that countries that are nice societies to live in for the average person are strongly correlated with countries that have good social welfare systems. None of the countries you listed fall under what I consider to be nice societies to live in for the average person. China does not meet my standard due to lack of freedom, pollution, level of grinding poverty, corruption, etc.

It seems as though you are under the impression that I was claiming the converse is true. I was not. Canada, Japan, Denmark, France, UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Austria are examples of countries that are nice places to live in for the average person that have a strong social safety net for the people.

I love this line of thinking! What lines will we allow the government to cross?

Can it force you to buy goods and services? Sure, health care! Can it prosecute pre-crimes? Yep, drunk driving! Capture and log all human communications without a warrant for unspecified future uses? Yes, Prism. Get into the religion business? Why not? Marry people! Then there's using taxing authority as a weapon against political opponents (Tea Party thing.) And, taking land and property from citizens for profit (Kelo decision.) Control/erode the value of currency. Endless, shameless pork for political friends, bundlers, and donors. And on and on and on.

I won't be surprised when the US government compels Apple to sign a hacked copy of iOS. When Apple Computer is your last line of defense against tyranny, guess what, you're already screwed!
A lot of people at least get student loan interest deduction (with all the college debt around), which I believe pushes out out of 1040EZ lane.
You can pretty much just drop that "micro-". With very few exceptions, you really shouldn't optimize until you have accurate measurements of what is going on.

Update: To me, a lot of responses here conflate "optimization" with "design". From where I'm sitting, "optimization" means making adjustments to and existing solution to make it faster. That has nothing to do with choosing an appropriate language or toolset, and limited amounts to do with overall design. Yes, sometimes you must project forward a bit, for example knowing you'll be able to optimize out exponential behavior with a better data structure, say.

But often people do too much, too early, with too little information.
The fundamental problem that many people have with the IRS is that they have a great deal of discretionary power. They make and enforce regulations, and do so in what are often arbitrary and capricious ways. Your experience may have been good, but agents can make one's life very difficult even if there was no infraction; their decision to waive fees could have gone the other way if the agent was feeling differently. They also could have compelled you to continue doing a great deal of work for them, possibly until you made an innocent mistake, and they charged you with a crime.

This is all aside from the routine political and personal vendettas employees with this sort of power will invariably engage in. These violations are not just a few 'bad apples', as this sort of activity is a systemic issue, and the IRS actively protects the wrongdoers.
If you don't have any cycles (and disable mark/sweep), Python's reference counting will be deterministic. However, I doubt this implementation will be able to offer real-time capability :)
I didn't say they were perfect. I said "one of the better orgs". I'm sure they have their bad apples just like any organization.

Apparently, the first "first principle" he reached for was the one that shone immediate light on the situation. If that's true, he got amazingly lucky. Reasoning solely from established facts is wonderful when you can do it; but I don't think this article is painting a realistic picture of the difficulties involved. Such reasoning may take time, with many false starts, and it may not get you all the way to the conclusion you need.

> I use a CPA for my taxes, since I never want to have to deal with an audit myself,

You realize the doing of the taxes and the audit defense are two separate things, right? You can totally do your own taxes, and in the .01% chance you got audited - hire someone to help. It's not that scary of a thing...
As much as freelancers say they hate dealing with clients or invoicing etc, what it all comes down to is the difficulty of managing cash flow.

Contracts and invoices are the first step towards a few other cashflow management tools like invoice factoring, escrow, and others.

But definitely agree, you can't build a business on invoices alone, since those + payment processing are so commoditized.

You can browse the US Code on the House of Representatives' website.

Here's 26 USC Subtitle F, "Procedure and Administration":

http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title26/subt...

Duty to file an income tax return is section 6012 on that page. Section 6151 lays out the duty to pay tax and when the tax must be paid (at time of filing).

You'll also notice if you play around with it that the House site is pretty terrible to browse and read, which is why everybody links to Cornell's version.
They should be afforded those protections, but they should be waivable by informed parties (barring some dynamic that would explain why this is a bad idea and which no one in the thread has articulated). Is there a reason to believe the drivers aren't informed of such tradeoffs or did not become informed very soon?
Siiiick!

Any chance you'll handle tax remittances? Contractor taxes (esp) in Canada are kind of a quagmire.
While that works it'd be a real annoyance to deal with when doing a lot of the debugging queries I wind up writing for work doing batch ETL. As far as I have found there's no built in function that would take that epoch timestamp and convert it into a usable date that could then be truncated for daily binning etc.

I disagree. Outside of Raleigh, I think Google is currently one of the biggest champions of 'giving back' in letter and spirit (code contributions and research papers). Would you mind expanding on how Google doesn't give back?

My GoPro creates a wifi network and the phone just auto-connects to that to control the GoPro. So certainly the Beartooth could create a wifi network that the phone connects to and essentially sees the Beartooth as a traditional wifi network.
Forget Tor, what about VPNs and shared networks? CloudFlare has a great way to make the web unusable. The number of small blogs that seem to use it has become infuriating.

I typically browse via a VPN, and CF present their capture blocking on every CF site visited. This wouldn't be too bad, but the captcha is often infuriating and the CF page + capture is consistently one of the slowest loading.

Lumping every user of a VPN or shared network in with the spammers is short sited, and "allowing customers (of Cloudflare presumably?) to whitelist" rather than presenting any possible solution for the innocent browser is typical of what the internet has become.

If someone is on a large shared network - VPN or university NAT, someone will have virus, spam or other crap on their machine. There needs to be a solution that ensures the other hundreds of people on that net can be minimally impacted. Perhaps a way to captcha ONCE per xx hours as a browser, rather than 5x in 5 minutes as is often the case now.

It's got so annoying I find myself wishing someone made an Adblock filter list for CF sites.

Edit: http://imgur.com/rd6Jl3f

Edit 2: The IRS stated that section 1 and Section 11 are the relevent documents, section 11 being companies. I'll take your word about the rest of it as the link does not work and irrespective to my point:

If you want to disprove the notion that you are not a legitimate gov entity, it may be wise to

* link to the documents you reference

* have them hosted at a .gov site. If they are in fact at a .gov site, it is weird to suggest the private one.

* have them be updated to 2016.

i guess no one else found it weird that in the first or 2nd example if frivilous stuff, was that justification.

>we get more long term happiness from experiences than from thing

That doesn't mean "don't spend money on things." Things can and do (and should!) enable experiences.

I'll buy a high-end laptop I'll spend a great many hours using it, and experience of using it is better than the experience of using something cheaper. (Seriously, when I see people fighting their POS trackpads and 15-second seek times to do basic window management operations, it's no wonder they're not into computers.)

I'll buy a good car because the experience of driving something comfortable and responsive with a pleasant interior is better than the experience of driving a shit heap, and I actually like driving.

I'll buy $500 headphones because listening to music on them is amazing.

I'll buy a $500 DSLR because having the shutter actually respond when I press the shutter button is amazing.

We can even go less obvious: I'll buy fashionable clothes because people will treat me with more respect and interest if I look put-together.

Wow the comments in here are awful. How about some constructive discussions folks? If you're not impressed by React or don't think it's useful, what, if anything, can we say or show you to convince you otherwise? I'm assuming that's what you're here - for knowledge - otherwise, why are you here?

I'm glad there have been no major announcements. This isn't an Apple keynote. We should want our tools to be predictable, stable, and paid attention to. Introducing more React stuff would be cool, don't get me wrong. But some of us are actually trying to build products and having stability and feature depth is more important than throwing React at another problem. The React team is fairly small and so they should stick to solving specific problems. There's still lots to be done in React Native.

Looking forward to seeing what the second half of the day brings. A lot of this stuff isn't particularly new to me but that's ok too. It's good to see they're still doing talks which introduce new users.

Just two resistors works or three if you want deep sleep. Some people recommend pulling up/down some of the other pins, but it's always worked fine for me to leave them floating. I tend to do those with solder bridges instead of wires, so it doesn't get too messy. I also usually put an LDO regulator on the power input since I have more 5V supplies on hand and I skip the smoothing cap. The output from the regulators I use is plenty smooth and it works OK.

The WeMos is infinitely easier, especially because it has the FTDI chip built in, but it's not terrible to use the bare modules. I got on the ESP8266 bandwagon fairly early, so I got used to working with the bare modules since they were all I could get.
I didn't get the "sex sells" angle from that. I'm a male and that's where I keep my phone while walking around. It tied the Beartooth in my mind more to the feelings of "this is a portable cell-phone related device" than to the "sex sells" angle.
The qualifier "micro-" is right. You have to pick the language, and design your data structures and algorithms for efficiency from the ground up. Doing that after the fact is a nightmare, and downright impossible if you made the wrong language choice.

The Life Course Dynamics of Affluence
“staffers in the agency's Cincinnati office were trying to manage the deluge of applications for tax-exempt status under the 501(c)(4) section of the tax law. Between 2010 and 2012, Lerner said, the number of 501(c)(4) applications leapt from 1,500 to more than 3,400.”

Frankly, there are a lot of fraudsters out there, and when there started to be a large number of new conservative nonprofits started by people without prior experience running such organizations, the field was ripe for folks to step in with fake charities, so they could collect money from outraged “tea partiers”.

As an example, Ben Carson’s whole political campaign is basically a direct mailer donation scam (the people running it were previously running supplement scams, etc.) which somehow transcended its original scope and turned into a real campaign, much to the surprise of Carson and his buddies.

It’s not surprising that the IRS staffers would notice a pattern of abuse with a pretty good hit rate on particular keywords, and then target groups with those keywords for increased scrutiny, making them fill out a few extra forms. It was stupid of them to do so, because the political fallout is predictable. But it’s hardly the roaring scandal it’s made out to be.
Yeah, seems pretty logical. People don't vote for those who call them idiots and look down on them with disdain, especially if they seemingly admit it in public.

But I think to some degree, one of the other reasons for his rise to popularity (and that of a lot of other outsider figures, like Sanders) is because people are getting sick of the media and corporate narrative and want someone who isn't constantly being pushed on them.

They've seen the media attacks on people as 'bigots'. They've seen the politicians seemingly completely ignore their concerns and the increasing disconnect between the average voter and the average politician or journalist.

So they start supporting simple talk, more 'down to earth' types outside of the political world, the corporate media goes straight back on the attack, so yet more people start supporting the outsider politicians, rinse and repeat. The political and media worlds turned on their audience and supporters, and now it's coming back to haunt them in the way of people like Trump riding in on a wave of popularity and public support.
