Same experience here. Prototyping in Python remains faster. The possibility to inspect variables on the go in a notebook are an invaluable feature of this programming language. Afterwards you can always implement the time critical components in Go.
Is that true? I've always heard that Terry allows officers to stop you, and ask questions under reasonable suspicion, but that performing pat downs and handcuffing is only allowed if there is a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed.

And I'm still not really convinced that there was reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed. Wouldn't that mean that any private party sale negotiated in public is inherently suspicious? I know law enforcement has a lot of leeway here but that would be kind of alarming.

That said, you should try training it on different kinds of produce that look very similar. One example I recall is Zucchini vs Cucumber as the stem at one side is the giveaway. Another is Nappa Cabbage vs Romaine Lettuce. Only two examples I could think of off top of head that would confuse people.

According to this article in IEEE [1] "Thirty states currently require licensure for software engineers working on systems that affect the health, safety, and welfare of the public as well as those offering their services directly to the public."

Good Configuration Feedback Is Essential
The current title ("Cops Cuffed Me for Selling My Own Mac") makes it seem as if the police were perfectly aware that the suspect was trying to sell his own property and just decided to harass him anyway.

Rather, it appears the cops didn't "cuff him for selling his own Mac", they cuffed him because they believed it wasn't his Mac to sell.

Is it too late to ask for a more neutral title?

But whatever happened to a sound business plan, an experienced team, and a sound business idea?

If most of the risk has been taken away, then you don't need high-risk venture capital.

In many cases, the business idea only seems Sound in hindsight. Google == "Yet another search engine with a crazy valuation run by two very arrogant prima donnas" AirBnB == "Some crazy idea contingent on strangers opening their houses to each other."

Capital is chasing returns that are not sustainable.

If this is the case, then people will lose the capital. That's the price of a free market, and the occasional Zuckerberg returns.

The United States has a much more violent anti-Union history in comparison to most of Western Europe. Take a look at the Battle of Cold Mountain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain
In 1921. In Europe by the early 1900s most Western European countries had accepted that unions would have to be included somehow in the political landscape, the Socialist Parties in France and Germany, Labour in the UK. Plus, American Unions have a long history of being racially divided, lacking the ability to organize all of the workers in the way that say workers in Germany were able to as well.

From that history, American Unions have almost always believed that the government and the business owners were out to get them. Also, because the Southern American states have historically been the most anti-union, American corporations have had a much easier time moving from union friendly areas to anti-union areas then European companies.

So, overall union-business relationships in the USA are much much worse then in Germany. American businesses routinely make decisions solely to hurt unions (a good modern example is Boeing which is moving production from Washington to North Carolina, a large part of which is about weakening the union, even though this has made logistics harder), American unions think of management as the deadly enemy.

I think a model more like Germany's where Unions and Businesses tend to work together would be overall much better for both sides, but we're stuck in the current system. It's also not helped that now there is a strong political anti-union movement no matter what the situation (like when Volkswagen wanted to unionize their plant in Kentucky in order to practice business on a more German model local politicians and businesses were strongly opposed even though the actual managers wanted it).

Reversion of a business enterprise to a partnership seems a rather overwhelming concern, as DAO seems to be creating full-liability (general) partnerships as a substitute for the modern corporation.

The advantages of the corporation are not just its capacity to organization decision making but also, among others:

1. limited liability of shareholders/owners

2. hundreds of years of legislative advancement and precedents giving relatively unambiguous roles and responsibilities – including record keeping, ownership, and tax

3. legal impersonation of a person, giving right to property ownership, insurability, and others

4. survivorship and estate planning of its incorporators

There are a variety of legal entities that could be used in place of the corporation, including partnerships of various forms, trusts, and a variety of sometimes-fancy associations (e.g. the Swiss Verein). The corporation has become dominant for a reason, the reasons for which did not seem addressed by the DAO, as far as I saw.

The advancements of technology strikes me as a necessary but relatively minor part of a multitude of state social structures that need to be simultaneously advanced to make this a choice comparable to the modern corporation.

None of which is to say that the corporation is the optimal mechanism for organizing business, but I'm not yet convinced that technological advancement alone is sufficient to compete. Other things have to catch up.

> I'm a PE (electrical) and I think what most people don't realize is that the licensing was largely driven by the insurance industry.

A certification program endorsed by insurance companies seems like a great idea, as does contractor-maintained liability insurance. And in a field where contractors have little to differentiate themselves except reputation and word of mouth, many specifically advertise themselves as "licensed and bonded", and people seeking a contractor look for those specifically. (Some kind of trademarked certification seems even better, to avoid any ambiguity.) All of those seem sufficient to drive contractors to voluntarily step up and seek such certification.

None of that requires mandatory licensing, though.
Well, maybe Europe built itself with government projects, but apart from some dubious transcontinental rail lines, America's "original" heavy and light rail systems were built by combinations of corporate, municipal and state entities. Roads were municipal matters, heavy trucks were seldom seen as that channel grew in symbiosis with the Eisenhower Highway system. Heavy trucks drive the need for durable roads, and they just weren't the norm until the Fed subsidized the crap out of inter-city highways and regulated the rail (most predominantly: the Pennsylvania RR) until if collapsed. Light-rail had its own similar history with roads and busses (and the fight for "right-of-way" at street level).
async/await ends up being the less complex thing, my "simple" example is an extreme that sometimes but rarely happens. When was the last time you saw that in synchronous code? It happens, certainly but the synchronous default is to only handle what you can handle and then pass everything else back up the chain. The asynchronous default with async/await is the same, and you can rely on default error propagation in the natural default case:

async function doTheThing() {
await thing1()
await thing2()
}

That just works, if there's an error in thing1(), doTheThing() stops at that line and returns the rejected promise to whatever called it. The callback world is clearly the more complex here, where all error handling has to be properly wired and there is no default handling. The node callback equivalent to the above is:

function doTheThing(callback) {
thing1(function (error, value) {
if (error) callback(error, null)
thing2(function (error2, value2) {
if (error2) callback(error2, null)
callback(null, true)
})
})
}

You can't forget either if (error) check or else errors will just silently be eaten/ignored.

The "implicit behavior" introduced by async/await are essentially the same things you are used to in code without async/away, such as the way try { } catch { } and throw naturally work in synchronous. That alone should be considered a simplifying improvement.
Yes - 0 through 2 can be shuffled. Sometimes you can just ask questions and get answers. Sometimes people can't visualize the need until you put something in front of them. Those first few steps are also more iterative than I showed, though 3 and 4 are more sequential.

Facebook has the capability to do these types of visual searches internally and they've almost certainly shared some of those tools with the US gov. Remember, Facebook took money from In-Q-Tel (the CIA's VC fund) and have close ties with lots of three letter agencies.

In a way, what's happening in Russia is better for society because it means the general public is aware of the technology and it's implications. Here in the US we presume we have a lot more privacy that we actually do.

I am guessing the write cycle numbers are pr bit, as unless the USB stick has crap all wear leveling it can survive way more than 3000 cycles.

Frankly the only documented case i recall is of someone killing a USB stick was back during the early MB days, when someone mounted it with the sync option under Linux. This, in combo with it being FAT formated, resulted in the bits holding the allocation table getting a whole lot of writes.

Without the sync option, the stick would probably have survived for quite some time as the table would get updated less frequently.

These days you are unlikely to see such a problem unless you are scraping the bottom of Ebay listings.

Disclaimer: I work for WD/HGST in Enterprise Support.

Another problem we see a lot with 'refurb' purchases (especially SAS models) is that the drives can be OEM types made to order for use in a vendor's SAN/NAS enclosure; the OEMs often load up their own firmware and tweak the hardware design, so generic code may be incompatible and can't be installed. Buyers try these drives with their own hardware and when they don't work (at all or partially) they come to us for a firmware 'fix'.

Warranty and support issues for OEM drives are handled by the company for whom the drives are made, and they may not cover second-hand drives purchased through certain channels. A customer the other day had around $8K of 'refurb' drives that wouldn't work in their storage enclosure and we had to refer them back to their auction-site based supplier.

Naturally. Same root also in the Finnish word (piirakka).

In fact, it seems that Fenno-Ugric words for strawberry also refer to earth, just like Germanic. Finnish "mansikka" and Estonian "maasika" both start like "maa, manner, mansi, mantu". So it appears the meaning has been translated long, long ago, it's not borrowed as a word that sounds the same.

(For those who don't know, Fenno-Ugric languages like Finnish, Estonian or Hungarian are of a completely different origin than Indo-European languages which include Germanic, Romanic and Slavic languages. English and Russian are close relatives and Hindi is their cousin, while Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian are a strange family to them. And then there is the European orphan, Basque language.)
The more I read, the more I realize that fiction has a way of teaching the same lessons as nonfiction, only in a better, humane way that is not like someone lecturing at you from a podium, but more like a friend sitting down for a heart-to-heart conversation with you.

In this vein, I've started catching up on all the classics I haven't read yet, and there are a lot of them. At first, I was hesitant to dive into classics, because I thought they were hard to read and highbrow. This has mostly not been the case (with the exception of Wuthering Heights, which I found impossible to get through).

To wit, the best books I've read this year include:

A Tale of Two Cities - Impossible to get through the first several chapters, but after that, you're off to the races between France and England in the 18th century. Dickens used historical books as reference, but recreated the mood entirely from imagination. A better primer than anything in the news about Anglo-French relations, learning trust, and sacrifice.

No Country for Old Men - Want to understand the current fear of the Mexican border that has so bolstered Trump's popularity, as well as the ramifications of having a country full of veterans who don't have any medical support or care? Read this book.

Farenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, Handmaid's Tale - Much better and scarier than any news clipping today about the possible future path for government interference in thought and action. Takes things to their logical conclusions.

And one non-fiction book that I did enjoy, Bringing Up Bebe, which is about the contrasts between child-rearing in France and America, but on a much larger scale, about the different things that seem culturally obvious to us, but are completely different to other cultures. This book made me really re-examine American food culture in a way Michael Pollan's diatribes have not.

Because Youtube, unlike the vast majority of websites, have a dedicated security team to monitor and prevent malicious content being delivered to their users, active support for flash alternatives, and flash deprecation is already achieved (since early to mid 2015, I forgot the actual date) as Youtube will only use Flash if a more modern alternative isn't supported by the browser.

In other words, you are arguing that new versions of Chrome should continue to support a legacy technology rather than expecting site owners to update their technologies.

Why do you expect Google to accept the externalization of your costs in maintaining current standards? Why should Google continue to subsidize your website by managing error and crash report services, and spending engineering cycles supporting Flash bugs, or Chrome issues induced by Flash when you can't be bothered to migrate from old tech?
