I think the article says he added additional claims to the second lawsuit, but they all flow from the same set of facts/transaction, it should be Res Judicata. Odds are Defendant can Vacate the Judgment on:

1. Improper Service of Process; and/or
2. Defenses on the Merits, including, Res Judicata.

Assuming the Defendant can establish Plaintiff knowingly obtained default based on improper service, and show Plaintiff knew or should have known the claims weren't supported by fact or law the Defense should recoup their fees on the Motion to Vacate Default Judgment through sanctions.

Streets are not just paths for cars to pass-through on. They are a part of the places we live. They should be safe even for playing children. Cars can pass through cautiously, allowing children to move out of the way. It's not hard to share the space.
Yes, that sounds correct. I thought the idea, though, was to make the salt non-obvious for this reason. I would hope people aren't storing passwords in a table with a "salt" column, but I don't really know. But I think you're right: if you know the salts and you want to use this approach to go after a small number of high-value targets it could work.
You can word a poll to be attractive. But a law, that's going to expose the wording to intense debate and discussion, and then people's opinions may be affected accordingly.

It's easy to say, "Would you favor a B.I. if it fit in with the current budget and didn't deprive the gov't of funding for schools or force them to raise taxes?" Of course most people (in a liberal country like that, at least) would agree to that. I just suspect it's not going to be so easy to implement; if it were, it would be common practice by now.
It takes longer to read, and this is what is important.

A lot of research comes out of universities, where it gets publicized because people want their research funded.

Google's contact lens project for example, originally came out the University of Washington and Microsoft Research got publicity from it before it switched to Google. In fact, Microsoft Research still features the project: Medical Sensing via a Contact Lens (1)

This kind of thing is not a problem if you present it as blue-sky research. It can become a problem if reporters think you're moving from research to commercialization because then they expect a product launch.

Google's car came out of Stanford University's AI Lab. Google took it over after Stanford's car won $2 million in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge competition (2). Again, it was great publicity for Stanford as a winning AI project, but it's a potential disaster for Google if it never turns into a good product.

Most of the major car manufacturers were, of course, doing similar research work, but generally keeping it fairly quiet....

Maybe this goes without saying, but the average family in North America lives well above their means. Rent to own furniture, a leased lexus for the wife and ginormous pickup truck for the office job husband, dinner and drinks out multiple times per week etc. when you can find everything you need for a comfortable material existence used on craigslist, cook at home, etc. It's possible if you have gainful employment and discipline. I didn't have either of these in my 20s. Now that I do, I'm focused on avoiding the seemingly inevitable "I deserve it" lifestyle inflation and "It's only $xxx per month" debt.

Why chatbots suit India better than apps
Eh, all of those incidents are examples of dubious "He shot first!" claims on both sides. I don't think drones are going to make the government look any better.
Google Maps is doing this to me in Washington DC. I probably wouldn't mind if it actually saved time. The problem is that drivers before me tried it, so the city has made many of the streets one way during rush hour only, or particular turns are banned. Google should program in more of these details before it routes people down what its maps already know are tiny, non-through streets. Usually I consult Google for traffic but when it picks these circuitous routes I ignore it because I can't trust it.

In the same vein sometimes it is worth it to stay on a main road even if a perfectly valid side route would save just a few minutes. Driving the side route can be less safe, more stressful, and it's easier to miss a turn, which wipes out the savings anyway. I wish the map software would account for this.
You also did say "The EU should stop producing any laws at all". As a european benefiting every day from fantastic laws (including internet laws, by the way - privacy matters), I entirely disagree and I doubt I'm the only one.
Yes, thanks. I'm not sure where my head is today.
One trick that I discovered was to hang not a sign, but simply something that looks like a high-visibility jacket. Drivers for a half second think it's might be a cop doing speed enforcement and slow down. I remember while at university seeing people slow because of an orange garbage garbage caught in a hedge 400m away. That bag was better at enforcing the speed limit than photo radar.
In Chicago they solve that problem neatly by installing planters across the street at these points, thereby making it impossible for cars to disregard. There are a lot fewer of these, though - usually just in the immediate proximity of schools.

Clever use of one-way streets and stop signs also helps, and effectively reduces the load of cars moving through the neighborhood at high speed to just the white ones with blue lights on top.
Cheap shot, but this is the company that created TFS in 2005(?). Which as near as I can tell is an answer to the question "How do we reimplement SVN in an MS environment?" Which seems like something no one should have been asking for by that time.
I think you underestimate the average cost of a ticket. Our city sets the minimum ticket price close to the maximum price set by the state. It is hard to get away from less than a $250 ticket. The means of writing a ticket are automated. The second they type in your plate it looks up your record, which they cross check your ID. The cop verifies it and sees if you have any warrants or are committing any other crimes. It prints out on a handheld unit the officer carries. Most of the time you are in and out in less than 5 minutes. If you are not, it is very likely you are paying much higher fines.
Going to be a bit flippant here, but if I sold somebody a $40 used printer and they mugged me using the courts for $30,000, I would seriously consider murder to be a viable option towards resolution.

In all of these articles and discussions, there's this lingering, implicit assumption that everyone dreams of "travelling the world," which is one of the vaguest and least creative dreams I can possibly imagine.
And court stuff is minimal for that one because there is absolutely zero room for discretion on the part of the judge if the violation is established. If it's shown that you did violate the HOV rules, then you must be fined the given amount, doesn't matter what your reasons were. If you got a ticket, it's pretty much a given that they can show that the violation occurred.
How much of the attractiveness premium is really about grooming?
I've seen one instance where homeowners in the neighborhood vetoed a proposal to have a centerline painted on a broad street through the neighborhood. Total width was probably about 3 lanes, and many people used it as a "cut through", and going pretty fast. However, painting a centerline would have made property values go down, the homeowners argued, as that would have meant that the street was no longer a residential low-traffic street.

TL:DR; because it's the leading computer platform in schools across the country and Google is making some moves into making Chromebooks/GoogleOS more functional without an internet connection.

Counterpoint: this is almost certainly a Google PR-placed puff piece and a journalist interested in taking a real look at Google's inroads into the OS space would examine the implications of the fact that a company whose primary business is the collection and resale of information to marketers is currently the leading platform in America's school systems.

> It's not Dijkstra's algorithm in disguise - it's not any kind of search.

It's a kind of superficial statement to make: "this is not that". Obviously these things are different on the surface, but probing a bit deeper can sometimes bring similarities out. This is more interesting to me, although perhaps I am just getting old and too many neurons are interconnected and this is what makes me seek the similarities between things, instead of just saying "this is not that".

As has been noted by arghbleargh [0], the simplex method can be used to implement Dijkstra. How sure are you that the converse is not also true? Will you at least admit this is an interesting question? Or even the question of how to ask this question in such a way that it is provable/disprovable. I think this is worthwile.

Continuing to probe: Dijkstra (and dynamic programming, etc.) hinges crucially on the idea of a semiring, or generalized distributivity [1], [2]. In the case of a minimum weight path this boils down to noticing that a+max(b, c) = max(a+b, a+c). The plus distributes over the max (think of the usual distributivity: a(b+c)=ab+a*c).

Convexity also has a kind of distributivity, which can be most easily seen by taking averages: a+(b+c)/2 = (a+b)/2 + (a+c)/2. So addition distributes additively over "averages". And this formula extends to arbitrary convex combinations. My spider sense is telling me that something interesting is going on here, and there may be some more ways to link linear programming up with dynamic programming.

stupid, boring, useful idealizations of reality.

Let's not forget the one feature that makes it powerful and molded our current society.
There certainly are cases like this. There's one little town I drive through sometimes which for a long time dropped the speed limit directly from 55MPH to 35MPH coming into town, and where the 35MPH limit sign was hidden behind a tree until you were about 3ft away from it. In what I am sure is a complete coincidence, this town has a $200 fine for speeding above the state penalty. Thankfully I never got hit with it, and they finally trimmed the tree after many years.

But most places display it prominently, and people just don't care. For every case like yours, there are a hundred places with obvious signs like "No turn on red" where people still turn on red.

> That depends on your moral compass and your level of egoism.

When talking about the individual actions, it certainly depends on the individual's moral values, but this is not being discussed at the moment.

In regards on how to turn society values into laws, it really doesn't. I am not saying that the "right thing to do" is to avoid community and eschew solidarity. I am saying that no one should be able to impose their values into any other group, no matter if it is a majority or not.

So, while I (personally) am all for a more equal and compassionate society, I am also saying that we will NOT achieve this while we have so many individuals expecting that this should be enforced by the Government.

> I guess you never tried to get an appointment with a medical specialists in Germany with a non private insurance.

I don't want to. I don't need to. If it's already known that the public service is of such low quality, why would I subject myself to it? I'd rather find ways to help other people to enjoy the higher quality service than forcing everyone to share the misery.

Like I said before, what I want is to get the best service at the most affordable price possible. Being "public" is not a requirement. Where is the guarantee that if we remove the private insurance companies, that the public offering will improve? Look at all the ongoing debate in the UK and the NHS, all of the cuts in their system. How effective is it really?

Also, reverse the roles just for a second: if you were a teenager now and saw that it keeps getting harder and harder to make a career as a Medical Doctor and that the Government is removing any possibility for you to do a job outside of their terms, would you do it?

---

Basically, what you are saying is that the "moral" thing is to have the Government dictating how much people should earn for their job. If you think about it, what you want is to have people that will dedicate their entire lives to become professionals and be forced to serve you and the "poor and less fortunate". And yet you want to pin on me the accusations of being selfish.
I think you're missing the point of this. To me it reads as a satire of un-selfaware privileged people and facile, feel-good travelogues. You can certainly be a traveler without being/doing either of those
> Please explain to me your equation for making a lot of money

I have some friends who were 50+ years old with very little money in the bank. The rented out their old house and headed to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico for 2 years. They "Interned" on tropical farms in exchanged for food and lodging, he did some electrical work. But they had a ton of adventures. Prob saved their marriage to break out of the USA and their normal lives.
They are now back living in their house again and working the same jobs.
A lot of times you will end up teaching in a school where children or people know conversational English and are studying to become more proficient.

I have two close friends (husband and wife) who spent the last 6 years teaching English in Thailand and Bali. In Thailand they taught at a private learning school and in Bali they taught at a school where the wealthier families sent their children.

Per the larger discussion: While there, they lived on one of their salaries and saved the other. I think they left with $15k and returned with roughly double that. I know during there time over there, they took off around a year and half total to travel and relax. They didn't live in glamorous places and eat at fancy restaurants. Instead they lived more like the locals to some extent, but this mentality/lifestyle allowed them to stay longer and ultimately come back home in a better place than when they left.

My wife and I visited them in Bali for four months last year (I am a remote software engineer). By association we adopted their lifestyle and had a fantastic/extremely affordable extended traveling experience.

I do think that does somewhat cheapen it for the people who do what you mention above and travel & experience are very inportant goals it took a long time to plan and save for

There's whole papers in CompSci on why FPGA's aren't ASIC's and many FPGA-to-ASIC conversions failed to achieve their objectives. They really are different enough to warrant a distinction. I'd just call them bitstreams instead of software, though, given software usually gives implication of instructions a la x86 running on fixed HW. I mean, technically that's what FPGA's and bitstreams are but world of difference in meaning.

It starts getting extra muddy when we're talking anti-fuse FPGA's where it runs software exactly once then becomes hardware. ;) Still significant logical, structural, and so on differences from ASIC's or TTL designs to not consider HDL-to-FPGA to be same as making, esp manufacturing or wiring up, those.
I'm not sure that there are any good lessons to be learned from that region at this point. It brings to mind the ending of Burn After Reading.
