They certainly don't look up in a database whether you are a citizen.

OK, "citizen or valid resident / visa holder / having some other legitimate reason to be holding something that looks like an EU identity card", then.

Whichever -- I was just simplifying. But something tells me that something at major border crossings (e.g. hub airports) has to at least authenticate your right-of-entry -- and that your travel document isn't outright fabricated -- at least a significant portion of the time.

Again, as applies strictly to cases of persons attempting to enter the Shengen area, on the basis of possession of an EU identity card, or a similar travel document asserting current legal residency in one of the member countries. I just don't see how they can (effectively) tell whether the document hasn't been forged or revoked, without comparing against a master list.
The wife has her own UBI presumably. I leave it to the family to work it out. Trying to get a UBI on top of all existing handouts seems doomed to failure to me.
most desktop clients (mutt included) almost died when everyone moved to gmail and such. imap/pop access was too expensive (when compared to having a so-so UI for free) or not available.

now that gmail and yahoomail give imap for free, they will surely comeback. see N1 for example.
Not only that, but if people are worth $x0,000 a year just for existing, there will be rent-seeking in the form of nursing homes that take your UBI, schools that take your UBI, organized crime that collects from people or possibly impersonates/imprisons people to collect their UBI by force.

It's not safe to create a financial safety net without an interpersonal social safety net. People, especially those who can't easily protect themselves, need both.

Just so I can understand your argument better, can you elaborate this a bit more? How do you measure their output? How do you arrive at the dollar value?
"Plain old CSS" is not plain old CSS: it's plain old CSS plus a pre-processor build step that you then have to integrate into the live functionality of your app.

CSS-in-JS just cuts out a whole swathe of tools and replaces them with what is essentially just JS. Even Radium is extremely limited, because just by inlining styles using pure JS most usecases are already covered.
As the original article argues though, couldn't a basic income be a better solution to most of these problems, while avoiding the negatives of a minimum wage?
Natalie Jaresko is the finance minister (used to work for US State Dept), Poroshenko was a CIA informant and oligarch, Saakashvili (US stooge in Georgia who went to war with Russia, and now is wanted in Georgia for various crimes) is the governor of Odessa, the Canadian government admitted their embassy in Kyiv was used for logistics during the 'Maidan', and Yatseniuk was mentioned in a leaked phone call as a candidate to lead Ukraine before he became Prime Minister.

Yet there's no proof of an actual Russian invasion. Tell me, were Su-34s bombing Ukraine?

Do a new round of CIA leaks need to come out to see the obvious? Is all the coup d'états the US orchestrated over the years a conspiracy? Why are 4 American stooges leading Ukraine?
I've had to use Java for sets and maps of millions of small objects (containing 1-3 integers). The garbage collector choked pretty early after a few (< 20) millions of them (I think there is no way to hash integers in standard Java without significant object overhead).

Knowing almost nothing about the JVM, what's the best approach to go about this? I considered implementing my own sets / maps on naked int[] / structs of 1-3 naked int[].

People also don't want to let go of their hard earned money. It is also an enormous natural force. Our society is doing that to productive people forcibly and for your just theory you are picking and choosing which force of nature we should tolerate and which one we shouldn't.

​Linux founder Torvalds on the Internet of Things: Security plays second fiddle
Everyone here is focusing on their strange app choices (which is fine) but the meat of the article is useful:

* Avoid content-type for GET requests

* if you're using HTTPS exclusively then custom headers for session auth is not generally needed so you can avoid those headers in GETs and POSTs as well.

* if you can get away with POSTing form-style vars rather than JSON then you'll avoid CORS issues too.

The rest of the article is honestly a bit pointless showboating of their app for no reason (and shows some rather poor practice not to mention the author being surprised by how CORS works in 2016...) but those are the takeaways.
The boot ROM typically gets out of your way pretty quickly, though. At worst it means you have to deal with some firmware-signing nonsense before chaining into a Linux kernel (or U-Boot); it isn't active in a running system.
In the United States, there are no national or state level service taxes, so that's a whole branch of businesses that do not have to register for specific taxation purposes.

If the US were a VAT-style country, everyone would have to register for taxation purposes.

Regardless, at least in the USA, sales tax registration is not the same thing as a licence to operate. You can start a business dealing in tangible goods, and begin selling to out-of-state customers without needing to register for sales tax. The in-state registration for sales tax is simply that---registration, there's no qualifications that you need to attain before you get it, and even without registration you are still required to collect sales taxes.

IIRC Allwinner does not have public datasheets, and honestly I prefer to have an half-documented half-accessible x86 platform rather than a theoretically fully-accessible ARM one that in practice is 1/10 publicly usable (the cpu alone is not enough to have fun with a platform... especially in the ARM SoC world -- and existing drivers have never replaced a good documentation of the hardware they drive.)

>it is trivial to pirate.

As long as it isn't trivial for the casual user, I wouldn't call it much of an issue. As I said, dedicated pirates will find a way regardless, even if comes down to screen capturing. That's how people are pirating Netflix content at the moment. Of course, this does lead to some level of quality loss, since you're doing a lossy re-encode of a lossy source.

On that note, if we consider "wannabe pirates must re-encode the video to share it around" as a decent video content protection goal, then you can definitely do that with HTML5 video and some JS without resorting to any kind of EME trickery.

Anyway, at the end of the day, it is definitely true that JS content protection schemes will be inherently weaker compared to black box DRM plugin solutions enabled by EME. But why on Earth should we compromise the very nature of Open Web to enable this rather than make Big Media compromise on their platform control addiction to have their content on the Open Web? And if they're unwilling to do that, then well, they can stick to their Flash and Silverlight all they want in my opinion. EME doesn't make any promises about cross-platform compatibility anyway, so better stick with the two devils we know than switch to a system comprised of several unknown demons.
Well, it's a wiki, so "author" is very loose (and when I checked at the time of my original comment, the change to add some of that verbiage was the most recent change, if still quite old). Ultimately, much of the information on the internet is presented without reference, so tone is the least of our problems. We need to be able to read what is being presented, and decide whether it's important enough to use that we should verify it. In this case, the tone shifts, but the message is along the same lines (the ME is your adversary), if very crudely done.

I do think you have a point though. It's not entirely up to the reader, there is a minimum threshold of clearly communicating facts that needs to be met by the author. But I don't think it's safe to say something that's unclear in tone means it was the expressed intent of the author to cause confusion. Humor can add quite a bit to an argument if done right, as humor often has the ability to cut through some of our preconceptions. Humor done wrong might be confusing, but that could very well be unintentional.
Yeah, not sure why these people seem to think that schools provide shelter, food, electricity and gas to students.

Panama Papers Q&A: What is the scandal about?
Are you familiar with the D programming language? They think a lot about these issues.

By default D uses a GC for classes (allocated on the heap, Java-style). You can disable/avoid the GC with some additional effort and the language tries to help. For example, there is a @nogc annotation, which emits an error for anything which could trigger the GC, although it does not prevent a stop-the-world event from another thread.

Rust is kind the inverse approach. Currently, there is no GC and real time is (relatively) easy. Now they try to introduce an optional GC for convenience.

Mixing GC with (real time) non-GC code is quite desirable, but I have not seen an elegant approach, yet.
The argument is that Netflix grew on the first sale loophole, but today movies are not being released on physical media and for some bizarre reason the people are complacent in these companies effectively removing first sale doctrine if the information isn't on external media.

You could not start start Netflix's DVD business with steaming, and since DVDs are dead, streaming is all that is left, so you cannot found another Netflix - which means you cannot get to another independent content developer like Netflix has become that way.
This really is an apples to oranges comparison.

In C++, you have to know the difference between stack allocations and heap allocations.

If you aren't dynamically allocating anything; malloc and free performance has no bearing. As far as I know, Java has no reliable way to create an object purely on the stack (and it probably shouldn't.

And even if you are dynamically allocating a new object in C++, if it has non-pointer children, it allocates that memory too in the same allocation call.

It is true that a lot of allocations will slow down C++ a ton; but a lot of allocations can be avoided in C++ whereas in Java you don't get that fine of control.

Even then; there is nothing about the malloc+free contract that prohibits you from having an implementation that does some of the things the author talks about. You can make a version of free that marks memory locations to be freed at the nth call of free.

I'm curious on the source for this statement:

> Java's collector can free an unlimited number of objects in time independent of the number of objects freed.

That seems like it can't possibly be true in the generic case.
These sound good. I think there'd probably be more of all those things if people didn't have to work unfulfilling jobs of marginal benefit to society in order to feed themselves.
> triggering these from a preferred vector, such as a web browser, seems hard-ish though

Easier than it used to be, though, especially given modern Javascript JIT compilers. (And that's to say nothing of more direct methods like Chrome Native Client!)
A new version is about more than APIs and ABIs. It may introduce a new feature, or it may fix a bug that previously needed a nasty workaround or made something practically impossible while present.

Montreal is not known for its tech scene. Scrolling through this page, I can immediately identify:

- the "startups" that are a 1-guy team doing "disruptive-PASS-agile-SCRUM" consulting

- large, partially government-backed monsters where money is burnt and not much is produced

- the students who just built their first social photo-sharing app, wondering why they can't find any funding

I've heard of them from others or was offered jobs there - there isn't a lot to choose from around here. Salaries are low as the city is cheap. There are also good companies in that list (some great ones even), but I'd say it's pretty inflated.

I work remote for a US company with its headquarters in Europe, it's the best arrangement possible, I'd recommend it for others (paid USD, half-day overlap with coworkers = lots of time for quiet coding, trips to Europe often to catch up with team).
I can understand somebody completely disagreeing with this statement, but perhaps:

By not standardizing DRM, the shitty, near-unusable DRM environment will remain shitty and unusable. More users will be discontent with the system, and this gives more opportunities for companies that present a good (non-DRM) system to compete.
My issue is that with GC-able languages, people don't seem to care as much with allocating lots of data and expecting the GC to wipe it all away.

To give a recent example, HTML5's canvas API only allows accessing image data with getImageData, which will allocate a large array for you, and then return it. You cannot do this at 60fps, because of GC pauses (and also because Chrome doesn't actually track the memory usage of the ImageData correctly, leading it to run out of memory rather than correctly free the object).

There is no way to pass in a pre-allocated buffer, because the presumed cost of the GC is free. When developers are asked to track memory usage themselves, they're allowed to be a lot more careful with it, and design APIs that take that cost into account.
You are all wrong, folks. Clearly, this is Serbia.

It is already regulated:

> Current FAA rules restrict drone operators from flying within five miles of an airport and above 400 feet

The issue is either a lack of awareness of the regulations, or, perhaps a willingness to flout the regulations.

Many people people think little of driving 10-15mph above the speed limit, and will only slow down when speed-cameras are installed and visible. Perhaps the answer is visible publicised enforcement.

Unfortunately a great deal of our mentally ill are in prison/jail.

Back in the 70's and prior, mental health facilities were barbaric. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" brought to light these travesties, and many were shut down.

Later, republicans then shut down more by defunding as well. What effectively happens is people are shunted to other communities where better services are offered. Lookup "Greyhound therapy", where city govt's pay for bus service to 'somewhere else'.

Now, the primary caregiver is the penal system. And remember, we still do not have single-payer medical, so unemployed/homeless are still without.

Overall, I'm against the Iraq war. But... I feel like an egalitarian Arab should have supported the Iraq invasion. Saddam was cruel to his people, his sons would crash weddings and rape just about anyone. The new Iraq government still has problems, but at least it's some semblance of a democracy.

Sam Harris says it best:

> As I tried to make clear on Maher’s show, what we need is honest talk about the link between belief and behavior. And no one is suffering the consequences of what Muslim “extremists” believe more than other Muslims are. The civil war between Sunni and Shia, the murder of apostates, the oppression of women—these evils have nothing to do with U.S. bombs or Israeli settlements. Yes, the war in Iraq was a catastrophe—just as Affleck and Kristof suggest. But take a moment to appreciate how bleak it is to admit that the world would be better off if we had left Saddam Hussein in power. Here was one of the most evil men who ever lived, holding an entire country hostage. And yet his tyranny was also preventing a religious war between Shia and Sunni, the massacre of Christians, and other sectarian horrors. To say that we should have left Saddam Hussein alone says some very depressing things about the Muslim world.

Render-time is waaaay too late. The ship has sailed at that point: so no, that doesn't take care of your first point.

> Many CSS-in-JS libraries also handle style modularization, often in ways arguably better than CSS preprocessors.

I've yet to see one that comes even close to SASS - not even the same game let alone the same league - so agree to disagree here.

I have - all it shows is that css-in-js is not a realistic competition for sensible modular CSS via something like SASS (CSS Modules, etc, good patterns).

Note the reference to Wes Clark, the pioneering system designer who died recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11183970). Clark liked Sutherland and gave him computer time in the middle of the night, which is how the Newton-like leap came to be.
Happy National Lips Appreciation Day
Go's garbage collection probably looks like it "just works" because the type of person who, in 2016, runs into a GC problem on Go will probably just rewrite it in Rust, rather than spend tens of thousands of dollars on a nonexistent best-of-breed Go compiler, the way you have that option for Java. So I don't think there's a lot of chatter about GC problems. There is some, but I think there's been more "I had a GC'ed language and switched to Rust and WOW! It was more work to write but the performance is blowing me away!"

Go does have a couple of structural advantages over Java, such as shipping with "value types" on day one, and it's good enough for many uses. But that's probably not accurately described as "just working" in that sense.
It needs to be understood that home automation appliances are going to be assumed to be long-life products. Nobody thinks about their light switch being an old version and needing to be replaced.

I'd say any home automation installer should be very wary of Silicon Valley-based automation "services", and focus on robust products which have been available for a long time.

I'm Anthony, 28 years old software engineering. Studied at EPITECH, worked 3 years in a software editor startup (SAAS) in Paris and I've just relocated to Auckland. Currently looking for a remote position as a fullstack engineer, devops, system engineer or infrastructure engineer. Or a job position in Auckland.

It is possible to set the tax rates such that the two are financially identical. However, I agree with you that psychologically the basic income has better incentives than a negative income tax.
Doesn't that argument apply to any government spending? If my enterprise relies on roads existing, and I cannot pay the full costs of maintaining the roads, say. (Ah, but roads benefit others, and we should only calculate your share! But welfare benefits others as well, it's a collective funding, so the same applies.)
Why doesn't Netflix/all film directors distribute slightly different versions of their movies to every single viewer? Half a second here, a whiter scene there, it takes only 32 boolean situations to uniquely identify 2bn views, and they culd chase the viewer in court. Or do they do that already?

Simple answer: no.

The primary surveillance radars at airports are unlikely to detect an object as small as these, they just don't reflect enough and I suspect even if observed they would be ignored by software because of their small size and low speeds (basically, they do not look or act like airplanes).

The secondary surveillance radar, which is now the main system used by ATC, would be completely blind to them, as it relies on active equipment being installed in the aircraft. Requiring the installation of transponders in drones might be tempting, but they are large and expensive compared to a quadcopter, so it's impractical.
CSS Modules is a CSS design pattern. Yes you chose what classes to apply to the component in the code but... you'd do that anyhow.

CSS Modules is not a CSS-in-JS framework - which is what I'm talking about - it's a design pattern for CSS abstraction.

That's all good, I prefer Atomic Design principles but the concept is similar.
Well, plain old CSS is just plain old CSS. There's nothing forcing anybody to introduce a processor, pre or post, into the mix if one doesn't want it.
