Well, the real funny asset-forfeiture case names are United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls and United States v. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins.

But the likes of United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency is obviously more dangerous than either of those:

And the list of cases here is hilarious as well:

like United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, or United States v. One Book Called Ulysses, United States v.

Well, there was a small intrusion. It reports back a filtered command history (including just package install commands), the hardware info, and the list of installed modules (along with regular info, like system type, if there are admin privileges, etc). That's not nothing, but it is fairly benign. I was worried about the command history until I saw it was filtered, and that mostly allayed my misgivings.

And future configurations could also take into account how many things you'd have to move, or whatnot (I have no idea about what you're doing, I just imagine that's not something you do once and never change, right?).
Isn't there some counter-party risk that the bank (or whoever) might go under? With regular insurance, that's not really an issue--I'll just find another provider--but for an annuity, your money would be gone.

This risk also pretty hard to evaluate, as everyone seemed to discover around 2009.

| We do not have equal access to our judicial system in the United States. If you have money, you have the power...

Your POV that money distorts and helps determine winners, while seeming so prima facie obvious, does not come close to getting to the real problem. I know this because I have money and I've spent well over a million dollars on attorneys in the last decade and I got very little in the way of ... not justice, very little in the way of consideration of the core legal questions in each case; in fact, I don't even know how the interesting core legal questions would have been resolved, the courts completely dodged them; and along the way, I saw a vast amount of phony posturing, amplification of minor details, and outright lying and manipulation of the legal system, mostly by attorneys; and the judges eat it up, because they too are attorneys. (and BTW, when a judge sees an unsophisticated indigent defendant, they actually do bend over backward to help them, say a confused tenant who does not pay rent is most usually given many many more chances.)

To put it into the context of this guy's patent rant: my point would be, there is a question as to whether this patent is valid or not, and whether it covers this particular issue or not. The "right/just" answer would be found more quickly and more cheaply and more rationally if the judge would simply decide that first in a non-binding way, like "from what I know so far, here's the way this is tilted". Then after that, if the losers wanted to spend money to present a stronger case they could, and the judge could say "warmer...warmer... colder". Then after all that, if you want to try to change the thing on a technicality like "yeah but you didn't serve the notice the right way", then the court would hear that.

The way courts decide things is to completely front-load all these arcane minor points, and it has the effect of squeezing the shit out of the litigants to force them to settle. "You think you have a legal dispute that's worth this much? I'll give you dispute resolution that costs more and much of your life. Now do you want to settle? Don't test me, as a judge I'm a former attorney, we win at this game. Now do you want to settle?"

This is obviously not true. If `serde` resided at `erickt/serde` (as the counterproposal for Rust would've had it), I could create `erict/serde` or `erick-t/serde` or any other variations of erickt's handle.

The only way this is 'solved' is if some third party authority hands out top level names and refuses to register names that are similar to other names for some definition of similar. The number of levels between top level and package name is irrelevant.
Yes, but then you'd need to also register a ton of packages under that namespace.

That's something that can be flagged for manual review before it gets too far.

This advice really only applies to public web sites.

PostgreSQL could be used as the backend for, as an example, an internal inventory tracking application. Something like this could allow users to upload a generic photo of the item in inventory. Putting these in S3 or a CDN makes no sense for an internal application.

And, of course, "internal application" doesn't necessarily mean a web application. It could be a fat-client (WinForms, Qt, Cocoa, etc) that connects directly to the database. It could connect to an application server (which then connects to the database) and speak some custom protocol. It could be a text-based terminal app. It could be that there are a variety of these applications that all connect to the same database.

Better advice would be:

Store images outside of the database. If you are building a public-facing web site or web application, something like S3 or a CDN may be a good fit. If you are building an internal web application, or are otherwise unable to use S3 or a CDN, storing images on a web server and storing the URL (or something that allows you to determine the URL) is a better option. In some cases, such as fat-clients that connect directly to the PostgreSQL database, you may find that storing images in the database is truly the best option. Keep in mind that this may impact performance in the following ways: (insert list of potential issues).
Or your customers start merging and acquiring each other.

Or you end up hosting your app for customers and want to go multitennant.
I think he is talking about a web application. So providing a image tag with the URL, as a src attribute, to the image hosted on s3 seems like a better solution than embedding the image in the HTML response (and blocking the page rendering for a longer time).
The article mentioned that the ruling government follows some part of Sharia law.

It's not just China. Every country has there own version of history. For example, I doubt in how much details UK's history books capture the horrific cruelties inflicted by the kingdom for hundreds of years as compared to the history taught in schools of the victim colonies.
Moreover, even within the same country, it is not uncommon to see history books rewritten per the ideologies of the incumbent government.
In practice, this is no different to having judges determine the amount of any damages awarded in a successful civil action or the amount of jail time or size of fine given to a convicted criminal. Making such assessments, taking into account the circumstances of each specific case, is a large part of the role of the judge in many legal systems.

You don't need to be able to do a full MITM attack. You just need to be able to read the traffic, not modify it.

And if you believe this is an unreasonable assumption, why did you link me a program which says in its description "The problem with the original concept was that if your port sequence was observed by passive eavesdropping, it was easily replayable." ? It tries to solve this exact problem - a sniffing attacker.

I am just explaining why this program fails to solve the problem you claimed it solved in your original reply. Surely you can understand that.

The only way you can deal with trolls is to slay them. Attribution of costs does not work. Most trolls consist of lawyers who create paper work and file it. They do not hire outside law firms at $500+ per hour - the ones their victims are forced to hire. The only tru costs they have are the file fees, which East Texas keeps low. That town is totally a parasitic town and they award wins to trolls to keep the town in cash that trickles down.

I say slay the trolls, slay the judges, slay them all - by legal means if possible. I would love to find an old Texas law that allows trial by combat with no substitutions...

> If you read this article, watch the video above, and answer one question below, I will donate—on your behalf via Heifer—a flock of chickens to a family in poverty.

Giving a flock of chickens to desperately poor families sounds like a great idea that will pay dividends for many years. However, I can't help but be reminded of the many charitable programs that sound great but end up having very unusual unintended consequences that often defeat the purpose or make it worse. Anyone care to speculate as to some unintended consequences this project may have?
Granted. In my experience wildly changing requirements are more common than unexpected need to scale though. "Design for the most likely needs" is my general and unspecific advice. YMMV.
I guess that would work, as long as you require PackageName to be unique across all Maintainers.
The other side of that coin is that if you don't have a lot of money then you most likely won't get sued.
From Article:
"If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And we've done that in the past," Vincent said about any money seized.

Under no circumstance should i have to PROVE where my money came from nor how i got it. this is assumed guilt and utterly unamerican IMO. Where is the burden of proof that must be reached before taking my assets and forcing me to prove that i have the right to have them. OK = backwoods state full of backwoods laws, and apparently backwoods people that keep voting for these types of idiots.

> If you've got a study that is generally accepted by the medical community

If you want to get unsubstantiated and speculative anti-vaccination speech outlawed, you need to convince a majority of people to do it. In such a case, it seems likely that the medical community would also contain a majority convinced of the worthlessness of anti-vaccination speech, thus relying on them to substantiate it would be pointless.

In general, what you're describing is tyranny of the majority that a constitution is meant to prevent. Even if we had the omniscience to determine that vaccinations are now perfectly safe and give brilliant results, outlawing speech against them makes them a protected category, which is ripe for abuse. The argument will shift from pro/anti vaccination to "this is not a real vaccination", subverting whatever your intention of outlawing the speech was. Meanwhile, the things billed under 'vaccination' will slowly morph as time advances, as people fight to classify more and more medicine under it, to protect their drugs from criticism.

This is exactly the thing that happens already under every exception to the First Amendment in the US, and why courts would repeatedly narrow down each exception, refusing to expand it further. Are you prepared to add this to the list of things to be eternally vigilant about? How confident are you that the courts will continue to defend narrow limitations when given an ever-growing list of them? Most importantly, do you think your new law will have any useful effect, given that people are notoriously good at subverting narrowly-crafted censorship, and broad censorship always has unintentional side-effects?

If, by your original comment, you meant that if your project is simple enough you can muddle through like this, whereas with a large project you can't, I agree with you. But just because bad design doesn't scale up, does not mean that good design doesn't scale down.

The bottom line is good design is fractal. You absolutely need it to achieve the largest scale, but it pays dividends at any scale. While it's true there are a lot of cases where it doesn't matter, doing so will never make you a master programmer any more than chainsawing a log to make seats around a fire pit will make you a master carpenter.
Well apparently someone is enforcing these rules. And it is clear that Hamas supports thus enforcement
To be fair, when somebody sues somebody else, it's not like it's a private affair, the suing party is actually asking the state to use it's power against the sued party.

It's not crazy to think that before the state should use it's power against you on behalf of another citizen, it's up to the state to ensure that this action is lawful and correct to do (which might require supplying you with an attorney).

This is much more common in spreadsheets, where free-wheeling data entry is encouraged, but a novice problem I see in real-world data structuring scenarios is breaking a column's enumeration...e.g. for a column that is supposed to be zip codes, doing something like "90210 and 90240", instead of creating a second column to handle edge case notes.

Related to that: inconsistent values for NULL/False, e.g. "No", "", "False", "false", etc...(or rather, not using a boolean type to enforce this).

And related to that: general unawareness of what NULL means. It's not the same as "" or "False" or 0, both in a technical sense and in a real-world sense.

Bootstrap vs. funding: which side of the fence are you on?
I think so. I believe he should 1000% have been appointed one in the criminal case had he not been able to pay for one and he won the criminal case before he was sued.
The overall point is that there will always be injustice, and loser pays can easily magnify it rather than reducing it. Even if you fix East Texas, there will be many others. I'm sure you can construct it such that there's a net gain, and maybe even a simple "loser always pays" system qualifies, but it's tough to figure out.

In theory, I like the idea that the winner's legal fees are just another item in play when the judge decides how to award damages. Maybe it's just a matter of calibrating that judicial sense properly. Or maybe that's just a cop-out on my part to push the thinking onto somebody else.

There's the version of "socialism" defined by conservatives which is now colloquial and there's the definition that's historically accurate, in a dictionary, used by academics and by actual socialists in America and around the world.

The commonality with the the later definitions is this (taken verbatim from the Socialist Party USA's website[0]):

> Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools.

You are correct. Socialism is the abolition of private capital[1] (which isn't the same thing as the abolition of all private funds and property) and the transfer of the means of production to workers. The problem is most people hear about socialism from someone repeating a talking point. Then that talking point is reinforced by politicians and the media.

Not every PostgreSQL-backed application is a public-facing web app. A fat-client that connects directly to the PostgreSQL database to do "stuff" with transactional data will have a much easier time if any related images are stored alongside the transactional data.
Yes, more chicken mean cheaper eggs/chicken...
Agreed, I should have made that clear. Anything log-like (events stores, history, "checkins", etc. is excepted from this). Analytics in particular is a case where large collections are the norm, even with low user counts. I contend that it's exceedingly rare for a beginner to be in the position of having these kinds of considerations though.
While your understanding is technically correct, it's nowhere near that simple and usually costs more than the money lost in legal fees to win a case like this and get your seized assets back.

> UUID primary keys? Horrible advice that's only applicable at Google/Facebook scale

UUID primary keys aren't needed for big keyspaces, they are needed when you need multiple processes (especially a flexible number of multiple processes) to generate unique IDs independently of each other and the central database, which will eventually get stored in the central database. This can be important at much smaller than Google/Facebook scale, depending on the use case.
It's not obvious to me why this distinction is useful. Could you explain?
In my experience (which is limited because I don't job hop), the non-software company that I worked for sounded very much like you describe. I did myself a disservice by not leaving sooner. I now work for a software company and it's very different. I am much happier here, working with no offshore bullshit and having co-workers who care about learning, sharing, and our products.

I can't tell you which is "normal", but I will advise you to try to leave. Socialize and network your little heart out, because if a friend recommends a place to work, you can be more sure that it won't suck, and it will be easier to get in the door.
