I found a significant disparity between the front-end application developers and the db-focused team I worked on, doing sustaining development. Basically, we were essentially out of IOPS so there was not any room for a bad query in production. Our db-team strategy was to provide safe APIs in SQL that paved a happy path for our front-end consumers. It was very successful.
On the other hand, the random jury doesn't have the same perverse incentives and web of relationships that support conviction.
1) Are you advancing the argument that abuse of children is an economic response to demand, and not that the perpetrator wanted to do it in the first place?
2) How does this argument explain the illegality of drawings depicting underage sex with none of the depictions being based on a real-life individual?

Somewhat unrelated (I'm not trying to set up a straw man here), I believe that it's more consistent to believe that society finds paedophilia to be disgusting and that due to their disgust that paedophiles should be jailed. I believe that this is due to the conflation of thoughts with actions, and the belief that someone with those thoughts will always be prone to action. It's a somewhat risky viewpoint to espouse that "paedophilia in and of itself should not be illegal, abuse of a victim should" given the fervor of the people against paedophilia, but I think it is more congruent with a living in a free society. It's a shame that anyone suggesting nuance there is usually then associated with paedophiles in the mind of the person hearing the argument.

I'm still wondering how a neighbourhood will react if you want to build two massive tubes through it. I can't imagine people will like those tubes.

Yes, you could put them underground but this will increase your costs.
Or let's do it like a bunch of other countries: children have the reaponsability of taking good care of the books and pass them to the next generation at the end of their class. It's a great way of teaching respect for the public good.

A yet better way would be to have these books as open-source and anyone is able to print them at their homes/public livrary/etc.
In general, I think that approach would need one other change to either prevent “core” resources (e.g. firmware, kernel, system binaries) from being modified or having a fail-safe way to reset those files back to a trusted base state. Otherwise it'll just hit the same problem where many users will approve any request described as necessary to run the free game/movies/porn/etc. and lose control of their computer.

"Pyramids" are not that useful for complex flows, just as synchronous-looking code, but for something as simple as your example they are equivalent in complexity, maybe even less complex, because they don't have additional implicit behavior introduced by async/await. Still, worlds better, than CSP with channels.

Data Science Report: How to Lift Push Notification Opens by 800%
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.

Let's say you pay some people to design a building for you. You get insurance of course. A year later, the building falls down. You call your insurance company to collect. The first thing they ask is whether you took every reasonable precaution you could to prevent that from happening. Part of that would include having a licensed structural engineer design the building. If you let Joe Shmoe off the street design your building and it falls down, the insurance company is going to say you're basically SOL, because you didn't find a person you could verify was qualified.

It's really about transferring the liability from the building owner to the engineer. If there's a mistake in the design, the engineer gets sued. Guess what happens then? The engineer has professional liability insurance to pay that! How does the professional liability insurance company decide who to insure? Well, they insure people with licenses, of course. It's an elaborate scheme to transfer money from one insurance company to another.

Is it necessary for a florist? Probably not. I can't think of a situation where you'd need to sue a florist. Interior decorator might be more problematic than people realize. First, it depends on whether it's a decorator or a designer. A designer may move walls around, affecting egress paths, and can possibly have some life safety implications, so they should be able to take responsibility for that.

Some context. A new data science report, "Personalize or Bust: The Impact on App Engagement" analyzes 1.5 billion push notifications. The results: we found that personalizing push boosts open rates by as much as 800 percent.

Other key findings:

- Android has double the push notification open rates of iOS, but iOS users open push notifications seven times faster than Android users.

- Push notifications triggered by individual user behaviors produce nine times the open rate of blasts sent immediately.

- Push notifications that contain personalized content, such as user names, favorite categories, or recently viewed items, see four times the open rate of generic messages.

Brian from Backblaze here. Let me elaborate on what Yev said.

When customers are doing a restore, almost by definition they are not having a good day. For example, this could be somebody who just had a $1,200 laptop stolen, and now they might lose every photo they have of their child who died last year. Real example. :-( So they show up to the Backblaze website freaked out of their minds, and they FORGET THEIR PASSWORD or something silly and minor like that, and after guessing a few times our support guys get a flaming hot chat session with a person using more four letter words than not accusing Backblaze of not having their restore.

When we resolve it all (help them with the "recover password" feature) then we usually get a happy customer for life who apologizes for losing their temper earlier. I always find it amusing when they think they are the FIRST customer to ever lose their temper under such a stressful situation. Usually it isn't even the first one THAT DAY.

TL;DR - you only restore when you are freaking out. And that's Ok - your worst day is the day when Backblaze has to be the best.
> The tribes might be primitive in their technological achievements but socially they are far ahead of us”.

Based on my understanding of "reality", I would assume this would tend to be the case. From what I understand, rapid technological advancement tends to wreak havoc on social structures.

These people are wise to attack outsiders, especially given their early contact with westerners in 1880. There are all kinds of ways outside contact is likely to bring despair to their community.

It also sounds like they have a matriarchal society which is (of course debatably) a more stable, more advanced social structure.
Given that that story is unsubstantiated, it seems more like you have the agenda.

Unfortunately GitHub seems to be pretty guilty of this too.

Lost count of the number of times I've clicked a link in a blog post only to end up with a GitHub 404; I'm sure it is only going to get worse.

Most annoying thing with that one is usually simply going to GitHub search and putting in the original 404'd repo name turns up the one I want.

I'm sure having the 404 serve up a "did you mean" search result would solve the issue for the most part.

In NJ i've seen guys standing by the side of the road just to let trucks out (once every few hours). After a few weeks of this, they had little makeshift tents they would hangout in and play with their phones all day.

And, PyQt works great! I've been playing around with the QOpenGLWidget lately, which not only integrates beautifully with the rest of Qt, but also makes it really easy to write and use a shader program. It's a shame, although not at all surprising, that the few decent online tutorials for modern OpenGL go the C++ / GLEW route. The barrier to entry with PyQt is so much lower!

Single core performance comparision: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

Intel Core i3-4370 @ 3.80GHz 2,215 pts
Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.80GHz 822 pts

But to make a fair comparison, one would have to throttle the memory to the speed of a 2004 memory chip. Then
the CPU single core performance increase will be a lot less. Also the Pentium 4 architecture was a crossroad and Intel switched back to Pentium 3/M for Core. So a better comparision is the fastest Pentium M with a modern Core CPU.

Intel Core i7-4760HQ @ 2.10GHz 1,922 pts
Intel Pentium M @ 2.10GHz 660 pts

Again, the memory speed increased a lot since then, so for a fair comparison, one would have to throttle the memory chip.

The Atom 330 vs current gen Celeron (haven't found J3060, but his bigger brother J1900):

Intel Celeron J1900 @ 1.99GHz 530 pts (10 W)
Intel Celeron J3060 @ 1.60GHz ? pts ( 6 W)
Intel Atom 330 @ 1.60GHz 251 pts ( 8 W)

The performance increase of the cheapest Intel CPU hasn't increased that much since 2008, as I said.
It's hard to make a great analysis because there's no hard data on the memory used, the code creating that memory use or their infrastructure. But if I may, due to them being less than forthcoming, I'd like to speculate. Anger many, please a few.

If they needed something better than Node they may simply be doing it wrong and I'd lean that way first before subscribing to Go being the solution. Which has me thinking it's the most convenient band-aid nearby.

There are alternatives to the language/platform hopping. My case would be a decent example. Most of my stuff is in Python2. I have a newer Django project that I'm vetting CPython3 with, but will remain writing long running CPU intensive services in Python2 on PyPy. I see CPython + PyPy as a pretty reasonable approach and have been able to scale quite well for most situations which don't involve battling millions of concurrent users and petabytes of real-time data analysis. There's also the advantage of a single language backend and developer productivity. Node.js callbacks never matched gevent or Python3's async I/O and Go is adding yet another language to the stack where PyPy (or Node in their case) would likely handle it. Difficult to say without looking at how they've implemented everything but I have doubts whatever they're doing couldn't be done with resourceful coding. Most likely, these are people who want an excuse to try something else and they're just excited.

Given the self-professed extremity of their case, Node, Python, Go, et al would not resolve something so seriously memory-bound well enough that it wouldn't be worth calling out to a non-GC'd library. I would steer away from GC-anything and drive a stake through the heart. Writing a small limited-scope Rust extension to do what they needed and called that from Node.

Well, kind of. We've tried to work with the python core packaging folks to improve the built-in metadata facilities. (There has been a checkered history there in terms of reception to our ideas...)

In terms of making these packages easier to build, that's really not actually where the problem is. The fact that numpy, scipy, cython, etc. need to have a shared compiler and build toolchain is really a result of operating systems and the C language ABI works.

> He consented to the search of the laptop before being detained. He did not know it was an undercover police officer conducting the search, but that is not relevant.

I'm not sure you know what "consent" actually means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consent_search

A consent search requires the individual whose person or property is being searched to freely and voluntarily waive his or her Fourth Amendment rights, granting the officer permission to perform the search. Where consent is obtained through "deception" on the part of government personnel, the search may be determined to be an unreasonable search in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
>If they hadn't launched, Firefox would likely be sitting where Chrome is now

I very much doubt that. Even before Chrome launched Firefox stopped climbing in share. Mozilla has had this saying about marketshare not being apart of their mission.

In fact they've been losing share for some time now. According to NetMarketShare their at about 10% where they were once ~27%.

If you're willing to limit your search, at least in the US, HOAs in some cities are optional. E.g. when looking for houses in LA, no HOA was a soft requirement of mine. Every house built in the 80s or later seemed to have one, so we ended up with a house built in the 70s. Some of the HOA rules were kinda ridiculous (could not have garage open unless a car was exiting or entering, wtf).

In a condo building though, I don't know how you can get around an HOA.

It's not really about benefits to the government - they can grab what they want as taxes. It's about bailing out the over indebted. Sure you could let them go bust and let the banks that lent to them go bust etc. like they used to in the gold standard days but the majority of people don't want to go back to that.

This article seems quite specific at first – but when you dig down, it is actually rather vague.

For example, the author complains that his mother needs a license to bake food. What kind of license? What state?

Maybe a food handlers license? These are incredibly common, and very easy to obtain.

Maybe a business license? Again – most states are falling over themselves to make it easy to give you a business license.

It's hard to tell exactly what is being argued against.

Food safety is incredibly important – and food handler's licenses are easy to obtain. States need to collect taxes, that's the basic reason a business needs to get a license. Neither of these things are controversial. That's why I'm guessing the author of this article didn't go into specifics.
These are good points — many have tended to look at just the consumer applications. It may be that the economics lend themselves more to industrial transport or logistics than they do to moving bodies.

IANAL, but why is a warrant not required to detain him and search his property?
I should mention that it wasn't the only piece of evidence we looked over. We deliberated for around 6 hours I believe. Forgive me if I wasn't clear; I didn't intend to make it seem like I was the lone seeker of truth and made a grand argument to my peers; there was a lot discussed, by everybody. Also keep in mind that when you're on a jury, you only have so much to go on, and few resources with which to analyze. Thats why the phrasing is "beyond reasonable doubt."
That's an even better point. The Fourth Amendment doesn't protect you from letting a stranger search your laptop.
If there is useful information for law enforcement unrelated to the case at hand, it seems that we have plenty of already-existing mechanisms. They could offer him immunity in exchange for unlocking the drive, thus completely skirting the fifth amendment issue, or they could convict him based on other evidence, and offer favorable sentencing in exchange for unlocking the drive.

The fact that he is being compelled to offer evidence against himself seems like the dubious part of this whole proceeding.
It's not just the US that is expensive and riddled with cost explosions. This seems to be a failure of pretty much every political system - for example, Germany, where construction costs explode (BER, Stuttgart 21, Hamburg Opera House).

The most common cause why costs have exploded is that, unlike "old times", where either the state itself has employed all kinds of construction planners and workers or awarded a specific company all construction projects in a given timeframe, now everything has to be available for bidding - usually the lowest bid recieves the contract. This, in turn, creates incentives (often lined with kickbacks for the responsible politicians!) for the construction companies to underestimate the bids and charging the government for each and every change to the contract, to cut corners and generally mismanage the projects.

Also, in the EU, projects above a certain threshold have to be advertised in the entire EU - leading to projects with little to no "native" people employed on site, and regular language problems and misunderstandings due to different legal requirements in the EU states (e.g. training of the work force, different specifications - what may very well be an acceptable project under Polish regulations is totally unacceptable by German standards).

Furthermore, regulatory oversight has been on a massive decline as competent people leave or don't even enter state service, so that too few people in government employment are available to properly assess and control construction process.
