Defense of King's Landing? You mean the event that everyone immediately dismissed and took credit away from him? How many characters even recall it that way? It was significant at that moment, but dwindled away to next to nothing almost immediately. Other than that one thing, Tyrion has mostly gone along for the ride, which fits his character.

As for Stannis being on the Iron Throne, it would makes some things different but it would not make a huge difference in the overall storyline so far as to what's coming. We wouldn't have gotten all the fun stuff with Tyrion's family true, but most of everything else likely would have continued on the same. Just because Stannis would have taken the throne wouldn't mean everything else would suddenly stop or change.

Using curl removes the HTML tags? Nice feature (though a little obscure).
With a subpoena or warrant, yes. But not pervasively.

And while we're at it, why is the existing state of affairs not good enough? Why the attempts to subvert the message pipe? After all, the govt can still compel people to talk, and its people receiving those secret messages.

The reason is, to my cynical mind, that they're interested to avoiding the work of warrants etc. They'd like to sidestep privacy entirely, and just record everything in the pipe. Not entirely cynical; its exactly what they've done with the tools they already have.

In my mind there's an enormous gulf between subpoenas of a person for information, and the ability to get that information secretely and continuously.
spot on. One group are ready: landlords.

People do not understand how prices are set and this is a major barrier to stopping rentier activity.

Rents are set by what the market can bear. I hope we get land value tax and stop the leeches.

Some parents can put 850k in a account for their child when it's born that gets invested, say in the American economy (grows by say 7% over an average, long time period), which compounds until later in life, and when they grow up, they can access it. With good financial responsibility, this child won't have to work a day in their lives and can live off the returns.

Why can't we as a society do this for everyone, but you can never touch the account, only the returns? That is, wealth and a foot in the returns of humanity as a right.

You're born, you get $1mil put in an account that gets invested. When you turn 18, you start getting a monthly check, the return on that investment. You can never touch the account, only get its returns.

Someone tell me why this is a bad idea, worse than guaranteed basic income.
Yes, that's so much worse. At least to my eyes.

It's a death by a thousand cuts. That's 3 dense lines that you need every time you map across a collection.

Which obscures whatever else is happening in the rest of the method/function, so now you've got that much more cognitive load to figure out what it's actual core purpose is.

Which may be subtly modified by the writer purposefully, but you miss it because you assume it's the same "it's just map idiom".

Which may be modified by the writer accidentally, but you miss it because you've trained yourself to parse it as a lump and take its correctness for granted.
I did, a bus in my city takes an 2-3 hours just to travel 30 miles, I would need to catch a bus at the exact right time, travel to the center of downtown, about an hour because multiple stops on the way, wait 30 minutes to an hour for the inter-city bus, then about 30-45 minutes from there, then walk/bike to work an additional 10-30 minutes in my nice office clothes (because dress codes) and work up a nice stanky sweat since it gets up to 90-100 degrees in the summer. And that's just to get to work and back to say nothing of getting around town.

You can look at the bus schedules and see they don't pass close enough to the areas I need to go, its not practical, I don't know how people dependent on it function without losing 4-6 hours a day.

What I considered was where I could afford a house, where my wife worked (the city we live in), school districts, etc. The fact that everything is country roads or major highways between cities.

Fact of the matter is, unless you make a high income to live in a major city like NYC, Boston, San Fran, etc. You can't be a functional adult in the U.S., you're just extremely limited on where you can seek employment, accomplishing basic tasks like buying food (grocery stores are often a few miles away, and small shops/convenience stores are overpriced have few if any options, especially healthy ones), you'd have to take days off just to go see a dentist/doctor or a government office. We're spread out, and the fact is we like that way, most of us feel claustrophobic in a major city where total strangers are a thin wall away and your apartment costs half your monthly income and is the size of your college dorm.
According to your view, you cannot change anything ever. Take a look at microcredits. Give women in Africa $50 or $100 to start up their own business. They know exactly what to do, and it really helps. Isn't this something similar?

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like complying with this law would preclude compliance with HIPAA, ISO 9001, various NSA-IAD directives, etcetera. Compliance with standards like those is often written into government contracts and sometimes required by statute or policy.

If this law passed in its current form, wouldn't entire industries have to choose which laws to break when storing data?
> I feel that part of Scala's problem in every project I've been involved with is that it has too many features which means if you're not incredibly careful about specifying exactly what features should be used you end up with an unmaintainable mess.

Whenever I've asked people to go into the specific "too many features" in Scala it always turns out they were talking about library features, not language features. The language is powerful enough that people can write very complex libraries in it. If Kotlin ever becomes popular it will have exactly the same problem.

I'm sorry but your social faculties are way out of whack if you think it's a better option to scan someone than to simply ask their name. Do you not understand that I may feel uncomfortable if you've just scanned me and then use that data to try and strike up a conversation? Talk about making me feel like a product or mark. Bicycles and notepads do not actively analyze and reduce people nor do they enable a surveillance state. Don't make such specious extrapolations.

Tools are an extension of your body, yes, but you don't go using your hands to feel up someone because you needed more texture data. You don't stare at someone for a long time because that's rude and intrusive. Same goes for using technology like this.
I wish it showed dewpoint. Almost all these weather apps never show dewpoint (or it's hidden away), but instead almost always show the relative humidity percentage which is useless and just takes up space.
So I work for a company that sells a security related appliance. We sell to mid to large sized enterprise customers.

We made the decision to go with an appliance over hosted services because this way if we get hacked, our customers don't.

Part of our product is a secure secret store, and of course we use encryption for many other purposes. Our customers use our software (or standard tools) to generate their own key material to encrypt their secrets.

Very importantly, we can't help the government, or anyone else, get access to our customers secrets. We can't reasonably be asked to backdoor the software, because many of our customers do code reviews and audits on it before buying.

Can someone help me understand how this law would affect my company and others like it, our customers, and their users?

Privacy question - what will Kite do with the source code stored in its databases when/if Kite shuts down or is acquired? How will you respect the licenses of the files you upload?

(paraphrased) "You trust Github/Slack, why not also trust us?" Perhaps because Github and Slack's monitization models are well known, and Kite's are not.

It's a great concept for a tool, but I could never get it to fly at work. I couldn't even begin to imagine trying to convince a technically savvy cofounder (let alone their lawyer) with "let me use this tool which uploads all of our code to their server."

Signed releases should be required for any package management system. I'm finding Ruby to be lacking in this area:

`bundle install --trust-policy HighSecurity`
Yes, exactly, it's the same thinking that lets the government search people's houses when authorized, or detail and question them when authorized.

We already have this concept of "the government can go through your stuff" in the form of search warrants. It's not a leap at all to apply that to encryption, too, even if some specific law gets it wrong at first.

I'm sure if pocket enigma machines were around when these laws were first being put to parchment, there'd have been something in there about encryption from the start.

Apologies, this will be an unpopular opinion.

If encryption is deemed illegal for whatever reason, then perhaps start creating new things that legally don't fall under the category of encryption, but accomplish the same thing.

You might be right. But it's not just about the income level. The important bit is that it's guaranteed. This theoretically will give the poor more leverage in negotiating the salaries etc., and they'll be able to get higher quality jobs.
> Imagine for a second that the San Bernardino iPhone had used Touch ID, don't you find it highly plausible that the US government would be able to find a good fingerprint that could be used to unlock the phone? I guess they even had his body at hand so it would have been dead simple.

That is a very good observation and puts Touch ID in perspective. If you died today would you be ok with your family and/or friends being able to unlock your phone and go through all your personal data? Sure, there may be genuine reasons for them to do so but still, all your data will be at their fingertips and even if you "trust" that they'll limit themselves to only look for the relevant information to get your things in order they still have to sift through a lot data you may not want them to.
You make a good point, which is that if companies have to weaken their encryption in order to be able to comply with this law, that opens up the possibility for easier surveillance without a warrant. I think that's a huge concern, because in my opinion the 4th amendment only provides limited protections to bits travelling over third-party pipes on the Internet, so effective end-to-end encryption is essential for privacy.

That being said, the ostensible purpose of this bill is to govern what happens in response to a valid court order.
I certainly hope there is a way to use Kite comfortably with minimal/no mouse usage.
"the return value is conveying three different things all at once. [...] That’s a lot of information for one poor little pid_t—usually a 32-bit integer—to convey!"

Someone never had to bit-pack their programs to save memory, disk space, or bandwidth. In fact, it's a huge waste of memory; if you only need 3 bits, a 'char' would have sufficed. Saves 24 bits!

Of course, we could use nibbles to make data structures where the fork return value only takes up 3 bits instead of a whole byte, but that could be considered micro-optimizing. (the compiler may do this for us anyway, though)
I love this series thus far. So interesting.
Not all duplication is bad in all cases. It is more a factor of quality, not a direct, causal relationship. See for example this review of publications about code duplication: http://eprints.eemcs.utwente.nl/15314/01/ewic_ea09_s4paper2.....

I recall a recent article about that. I really can't recall much of the detail - but it was about how after an immediate success from the monetary infusion, most of the bushiness folded shortly after because owners fell victims to corruption, extortion and crime. So yes, it is similar, but not in a good way. :)
It seems to me that the question of how to finance a UBI is probably the largest stumbling block.

Of course it could be done through taxes but a lot of people have legitimate concerns about government taxation. For taxation to work you need a coercive government and many of us are very aware of the downsides of such an entity. Of course taxation isn't the only reason we have a coercive government there's also the war on drugs and other policies which seem to ultimately derive from the need of a significant fraction of the population to dictate the choices of their fellow citizens. This tendency is of course inevitably amplified among those who self-select for government or political careers. There is also to some degree a legitimate need for self-defense which also inevitably leads to some degree of coercive government. But even if these problems could be solved, say for example through more rational and better focused defense policies and through evolution of ethical views to give greater weight to the desires of individuals to lead their lives as they see fit, if we are going to provide a safety net for everyone we will always need some form of government and if that government is financed through taxation a level of coercive and invasive policies is likely inevitable.

Could we find a better way to finance government and a UBI ? Some countries and regions with extensive natural resources have been able to leverage them to help finance their governments and provide assistance to citizens (examples I believe include Norway and Alaska). However most economies are not so strongly dependent on the exploitation of natural resources so this type of solution cannot be generalized. What if a nation's government became an investor in that nation's economy ? I'm not talking about nationalization of industry but allowing the government to acquire minority ownership of public corporations as a means not of exerting control but of generating income. Could we imagine government evolving to the point of relying for its financing on a financial portfolio much like some universities receive substantial income from their endowments ? I'm not an economist but I've never encountered this idea in the press. It would be interesting to know what the experts think of it.

There were also players who shot the ball extremely well before the three-point line took effect. Steph is averaging around 30 points per game with 5 three's a game. Without the additional point, it drops him to 25 points per game. Still good but probably not an MVP shoe-in anymore.
Latest Adobe CC apps have a plugin for browsing a media library that will (on Macs,many Way) eat up CPU like crab legs at a casino buffet. Google "CEPHtmlEngine" and the app you're using and you'll likely find the location so you can rename it, deactivating it.
It's worth noting you'd probably want to write this out in Go as follows:

names := make([]string, len(machines))
for i, m := range machines {
names[i] = m.Name
}

append() is pretty costly, and should be avoided when possible for performance. This is actually relevant to your how vs what concern-- on the one hand, we could trust the compiler and the builtins to always take the most efficient approach, and only program 'what' we want. That could avoid something like using append in a loop where you know the length of your intended output slice. On the other hand, if there are edge cases which the built-ins take into account that we don't care about and want to ignore, being able to and having the intention of programming 'how' can have performance benefits.

I like writing 'how' because I get to benchmark and test different approaches to solve the same problem, whereas 'what' might take a usually-fast approach that isn't a good solution in our specific case.
I think the american voter has started to lose it's way, or at least feel hopeless to change what is put in place. but I dont care if the nominee is a republican or democrat, we need to pass laws that keep the government at bay and stop letting them push us around. the media and politics pit us, the people, against each other in order to swayed us and get laws passed that control us. I am tired of it. most people on one side of an issue or another could come together and be friends. but the media pushes hate and fear till both sides are so defensive they think the other is the enemy instead of the guy saying "he said she said" and throwing the knife in the middle.
