Proving libel in the US...

First, there is the case where we're talking (writing actually) about a person who is not reasonably considered a public figure--just a normal person. In this case the person would have to demonstrate that we wrote something about them that:

1. Caused actual damages to them (e.g. Caused them to lose a job, have their house burned down by an angry mob, etc.)
2. Was false

Writing that Joe Bob embezzles money while high on cocaine might result in him getting fired. Perfectly fine thing to write, assuming it's true. But libel if false and it loses him his job.

Justin Beiber and President Obama, on the other hand have both reasonably sought the limelight and would be considered public figures. For them to win a libel case, they would need to pass another hurdle and prove that what we wrote had malicious intent (i.e. that we expected damages to result from our false, damaging written statements).

To prove the third part is almost impossible. Public figures pretty much never expect to win libel cases.

At least, this is what I learned as an undergrad in a journalism law course.
Nix does have binary caching (but only if you use `/nix/store` for the nix store path), I'm using it all the time on linux. OSX support is definitly much less stable though and there have been problems with build machines for OSX in the past, so I do not know how the situation on OSX regarding binary caches is currently.

Regarding your point about build time, I'm not sure why installing with nix would make that much of a difference. Nix still just executes the build system of the underlying packages. However, nix might have to build more packages since it doesn't rely on the underlying system to provide dependencies which helps to make it more robust. Additionally, emacs has various build configurations, which might also require different dependencies, affecting build time.

The system is all about crowd sourcing information. Android can tell when a phone is charging or not and phones using our app could tell the grid. So, that gives us electrical outlets in the coffeehouse.
We won't be accessing some public bus time table. Rather, the grid users riding the vehicle could give us real time and reliable data about the same.
And, a person's personal space requirements, well, honestly, that's a tough one, and it needs more thought than what we have given to our current flow.

Since, Grid is all about optimizing daily lives, we would target grocery shops, local general stores and weekly markets, initially.

We are relying heavily on the sensors provided with the phones, along with the most important, location data. We believe we could have at least an alpha if we start with these streams of data.

None of them were downtown. One was in Parker and the other 2 were in Aurora. Aurora is so big that there are very nice parts and very not so nice parts.

40 years ago, I'm guessing both of the places were still just plains. Now they are Denver suburbs. I liked being a 1/2 hour from the city and also so close to the wilderness. Probably one of the favorite places ever to live. If Denver had an ocean it would be my version of best place to live on earth.
Typically a SublimeText & Emacs user here. Decided to check VSCode out. Can't ctrl+shift+[a/e] to highlight to beginning/end of line? Bummer. Also, seems utterly unable to find defined symbols within a Python class within an open file--but finds non-class functions and imports as symbols just fine. It's jump-to-def is significantly better than I've seen in ST, and the peek-at-def is pretty nice. I am quite impressed with its speed, especially when near-instantly showing tooltips with the docstring descriptions when hovering over classes/functions.

Overall, fairly impressed with 30 minutes of play.

In real estate a short sale is when the bank allows the borrower to sell the property for less than what they owe on it.

I buy a condo for $500k, sell it for $250k in a short sale but I need the agreement of the lienholder in order for this to happen.

Assembly language can be fun and awesome!

For me, if I'm ever working in assembly, which is pretty rare these days, it's usually on an overall "smaller" system. Ie an embedded system where all the SW, HW, and tools can be grokked by a single person with out multiple cascading levels of increasing complexity and abstraction.

Good times for sure, though to be real, the good part usually comes after many moments of banging-head-against-brick-wall.
I stand very much corrected. I must admit I wasn't sure and just skimmed a little documentation and didn't see any examples of MPTCs.

> The first parameter is just an implicit Self parameter, which does preference it syntactically, but semantically it is not privileged in any way.

Yes, but I think the syntax was actually what bothered the OP who was complaining about linear algebra. At least C++ has free functions for operators. (I assume, again without knowing, that Rust doesn't, otherwise OPs "demands" should be easy to meet, given specialization.)

I mean any kind of "double * matrix" or "vector * matrix" or ... should be easy to support if operators are free functions and there's MPTC and specialization. EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, for this situation (algebra) you don't really need specialization, you just need overloading. (Since none of the types involved are sub-types of each other. It could be argued that a 1xN matrix ~ N-vector, but that's probably not worth supporting.)

Generally, I just think it's a mistake to even support the magic "dot" notation and thus privileging one operand over any other, but I guess we're getting off topic.

Thanks for the lesson, btw! :)

this would be really neat to combine with the benchmark testing feature in rust. You could write real world benchmarks and produce the pgo profiler output, then feed that back into the compiler.

This is really cool.

In the book 'Shake Hands With the Devil', Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire (the head of the UN peace keeping mission in Rwanda) goes into this in great detail. Certain countries would dump their troops on the UN so that they wouldn't have to pay for their upkeep. Nice way to skip on the bill for your armed forces, and claim do-gooder status at the same time.

Hey Anthony, thanks for your nice words! We indeed make sure all the places are double checked, we do this also by working with bigger organisations and travel boards in some cities. We also keep an eye on all the places to make sure they offer the experience we promise (being open for business is a good start). We're about quality over quantity.

As for your preferences, Sure is you best friend who doesn't just know all the great spots in a city but also know you and your preferences. So if you're for example vegan or always prefer a specific diet, Sure will remember this and create a profile for you. This happens without the pain of you having to check boxes. It's all conversational and personal, so that you won't even notice it.
>That means that, in principle, if we eliminate out-group hate completely, we may also undermine in-group love. Empathy is a zero-sum game.

Except in-group bias isn't empathy, it's one form of empathy, and getting rid of it would be a great idea.

My hypothesis is that other half says:

* Code is less clear than C style (type inference, not used to some pervasive operators like function composition or piping)

* Code is terse and short names are more prevalent (Lost the way to kingdom of nouns)

* There is no Resharper support, and Visual Studio (the main IDE with F# support) tooling is not as advanced as for C#, which is impairing to some extent if you look use the language like a glorified C# and not too used to F# way (tooling is great compared to many other languages IMHO)

* There is no do/while or goto or break

I see room for a compromise in order to make it more sellable.

Base it on simple things, age, legal status, and positive community involvement. We still need to make people feel useful rather than resentful and entitled. It's an entitlement but some minimum effort should be shown that one is at least trying to contribute to their society.

>She has said previously that she thinks it is an insult. If she had now reversed that thinking because of political thinking, that could have been far worse for her. And also for the turkish opposition since hindering the prosecution would have been best that can happen for turkish nationalists.

So what you're saying is: "It's okay to throw someone in jail for mocking a politician if it benefits you politically."

It is pretty impressive though, that you're able to make it sound so nice and harmless.

The other half aren't negative per-se, but they don't seem to care as much (view it as just a job). Or one guy moved to Haskell and then sorta looked down on F#. There's also some frustration sometimes when something hasn't clicked and "should" be easy. Often this is because F# is taught at a high level, without showing the simple primitives that built it up from scratch.

The non-programmers are less positive. From them, I hear "Yeah but it's so concise no one can understand it"[1]. I once got a "If we use F#, then when we exit for (huge figure) we might get less money.[2] Or the general "but this isn't mainstream" (MS's fault for shitty F# marketing.)

And there's also the "ok but we can't find hires". Which is the second worst one. Because on anything that's not some boring CRUD like app, the work to learn the domain and everything about the app dwarfs learning a new language.

(The worst excuse is the nonsense "best tool for the job" as if F# didn't out-class C# in essentially every single aspect. I find this excuse is pulled out a lot, as a way to handwave away real criticism or discussion.)

And people who aren't overly inclined to take the editorial stance of blogs that actually cover Gamergate as a serious ethical movement too seriously realise that [West] Germany hasn't allowed those considered to be expressing far right views anything resembling freedom of speech since 1945 for not-exactly-inexplicable reasons which have absolutely nothing to do with some sort of left-wing conspiracy to make people not hate Muslims. It's a country where you're not allowed to collect war memorabilia, never mind write blog comments saying "off to Auschwitz with you".

The original Bloomberg article has Merkel saying she had no intention of interfering in a prosecution brought under an ancient law about insulting heads of states, but actually intended to scrap the law so it couldn't be used in future. Which apart from suggesting that German speech laws are getting more permissive rather than less is pretty much an endorsement of the view that Erdogan - and presumably other Muslim heads of state - is a perfectly legitimate target for satire

You absolutely do not have to pay us to report a bug, period. The same day this bug was filed, one of my colleagues (pay...@google.com) jumped on the report and started asking questions to determine what was happening.

It seems to me that the GP's complaint is that this process was too slow: too much back-and-forth, too little dedicated attention to get the problem figured out immediately. That's a frustration which is easy to understand.

The point about support contracts was most likely intended to emphasize that if your livelihood depends on a service, you should have an agreement in place that guarantees you can wake up an engineer on the weekend.
A bit off topic, but how was your experience with Redfin? I'm thinking of using them.
Exactly, this and few other blogs, lawyers of satirical magazines and even Erdogan lawyer have said that they do not expect much from this prosecution. It is just, Erdogan has to go this now, else he loses his face. At some point he will lose in the last instance and then tell his people: "See, these germans hate us". If Boehmermann had to pay something, that would mean he had increased his market value by some millions minus those maybe €5000 fine.
On systems that have a compute bottleneck, yes. Questions that arise tho are:

* is the system compute bound or io bound? - in the latter case the waste will be smaller.

* How does this compare to other OSes? If it the most efficient available kernel for your workload, compared to other options, it is questionable to say it fails.
I'm sure this entry will be downvoted very soon, but however, let's try it. :)

Well, now almost everyone in Germany talks about the Comedian and the Turkish President ignoring the much bigger scandal popularized by the term "Panama Papers".

I'm not from the "conspiracy lunatics" fraction but let's dissect this whole stuff a little bit less emotionally:

a) In Germany we have very independent courts.

b) and a very stable democracy (which most of us are truly proud of)

c) and in fact we do have such a silly paragraph that 'protects foreign diplomats' from being 'insulted verbally'.

d) The current government also announced that'll soon throw out this obscure paragraph, which btw. was mostly used by the former Iranian Shah Reza Pahlevi to attack its critics in Germany (that's why we call it 'the Shah Paragraph').

Anyway, I'm very confident that our democracy is stable enough to handle anything, even the childish behaviour of a foreign head of state. By following our laws, no matter how ridiculous the paragraphs may sound, we _protect_ our democracy and dignity.

I'm not a fan of Merkel but one thing is clear: Our Chancellor is governing our country while some others prefer to sue comedians. ;)

I'm not a very political person nor a member of any of our parties but I always go to vote.

That's how we protect our democracy. By letting people vote, the government govern, and courts do jurisprudence.

And we'll never ever sue our comedians. In fact, Erdogan helped us clean up our constitution by throwing out a useless paragraph.
Why not, if you've tried to keep it secret? They're an incredibly common means of giving out things to a limited set of people without having to explicitly authenticate them. They're used by a lot of mailing lists for e.g. unsubscribe links. If there's enough entropy and they're once-only it's a reasonable approach.

Otherwise you end up with people just sending around "go to this url with this login and password" through email and chat instead, which is slightly harder to automatically exploit but not really more secure.
Nobody was using shortened URLs with the intention of creating security (as a security measure). Rather, they were ignorant of the way shortened URLs degrade security. Different thing.
The reason to have both is that people will search for one or the other based on their habits, and the cost is so, so low to having both.
Pretty incredible bubble price increases, given the growth rate of the Canadian economy. How can that end any other way but in a massive crash?

"Canada's GDP will expand by 1.5 per cent this year and by 1.9 per cent next year. That's better than the 1.2 per cent performance clocked in 2015, but a pullback from what the IMF was expecting in January, which was 1.7 this year and 2.1 per cent next year. The unemployment rate is expected to rise to 7.3 per cent by the end of this year before ticking up to 7.4 per cent next year, the IMF now says."

> It might be 'racism' of the sort that everybody is desperately searching for in every nook and cranny to hang their ideologies on

It seems to me as though you're looking in every nook and cranny to find people doing this!

I wasn't there, so I don't know if it was racism. But the author's inclusion communicated to me that the police officer was racist. The author could have made that more clear by writing "[racial epithet]" rather than "[ethnic group]" but following the principle of charity makes me think the author found it relevant, and I think we agree that that shows the author thought the officer was racist.

If the officer had just said "black gangs" or "Mexican gangs" or something like that, then maybe the author read too much into it. But the author was the one that was there, and who heard everything else the officer said, and clearly thought that the racial bit was worth communicating. So why automatically dismiss that?

From a technocrat standpoint, Merkel made the smart move.

From a "face"/PR standpoint. She lost big.

By "giving in" to Turkey's insane demand, it sets a precedent for taking future demands seriously. Germany just gave an authoritarian state a seat at the big kids table.

A flat out denial to engage Turkey's unreasonable demand would have highlighted how absurd it was in the public sphere. Instead, we have a bunch of articles highlighting Merkel. Erdogan played her like a fiddle.
