This is moving the goalposts. Here's your original statement:

"It may be a bad idea for an average developer to try it"

And here's pcwalton's rebuttal:

"It is a bad idea for any developer to try it"

The relative frequency of bugs between average developers and advanced developers isn't the issue. Very good developers create bugs that lead to security flaws all the time. That the number of bugs they create is less than the number of bugs that would be created by less experienced developers does not matter in this context, because we have empirical evidence that both these numbers are very far from zero.

Sharing such experience is precisely what tptacek and pcwalton are doing here.
But you can't do a more binding referendum than this in the UK. There is no more binding than the Prime Minister promising to do something immediately after the vote.

This isn't like other countries which have some kind of constitutional mechanism for holding binding referendums, Parliament always has the final say in the UK.

If there is a clause that one or more parties can back out. This is pretty common, buying an option could be considered a non-binding agreement.

I suspect you're viewing my previous comment as a criticism of ORMs. I tried to make it clear that it was not a criticism of ORMs. It's more a criticism of people who try use ORMs to whitewash a bad design or get around a problem that relational databases can't solve. Relational databases lend themselves to a very specific way of structuring data, and if you don't structure your data that way or your data can't be structured that way, an ORM won't fix it. That doesn't mean ORMs are bad, it means that ORMs have to be used as intended and often people don't use them as intended. That's not the fault of the ORM any more than it's the fault of a screwdriver when it's used to saw wood.

I'm making two arguments. One is based on the economic concept of distortion - people making choices they wouldn't make absent the taxes. That's a strictly positive claim and it's not based on cost to collect.

The other is the normative one. My premise is that people should pay in proportion to the benefit they receive from society. Do you disagree with this claim?

I find it unreasonable people seem to think this is so obviously wrong. I happen to disagree with you, but others seem to pretend this is obviously black and white, it isn't. Creativity itself is a subjective measuring stick.

In your example, literally writing down the words spoken during a film would be to transcribe it. If I, or another, took the time to do such a thing, it would be identical presuming we both did this correctly. This would not be creative as we are simply doing something as procedural as doing weights and measures.

I find these things somewhat arbitrary, because, conversely if I were to read aloud a book and make an audio recording, presumably that would be copywritable. If I had the rights to make such a recording, or if the work was in the public domain, I believe my voice & intonation would constitute either creativity/originality and the uniqueness would allow me to apply.

I am not a lawyer, nor am I sure whether there is precendent. The point is, that these are very similar things and it is treated very ambiguously. Should I own my own voice? Should I be allowed to simply read something and consider it a creative work? Does intonation and enthusiasm matter in the delivery of the work?

It is all a bit rediculous, and frankly copywrite should be limited substantially. However, it is clearly a case by case basis and thus super difficult.

Certainly, we would want to promote people like Elon Musk to create things like the Tesla (ironically much of it is open sourced) but at the same time, would want people to build on innovations and enjoy these things unhindered, or what is the point.

There's an infinite number of ways to digitize a painting. What if you invented, say, a new algorithm to calculate colors from bayer pattern? Or an entirely new sensor (as, e.g. Foveon, did)? Or, maybe, a new lighting scheme that produces more accurate colors? Should you be denied the copyright on your work because you "sought to reproduce the paintings as exactly as possible"? I don't think so. In this respect the court decision makes sense to me.

On the other hand, I agree that preventing sharing of public domain works runs counter to the mission of public museum and, while legally entitled to, they probably shouldn't exercise their copyright in this way.

> the majority are just childish digs

I do think there is something important to be gained by those childish digs which is avoiding branded terms while still being able to communicate about them. Take Crapple for example, they have hundred million dollar marketing campaigns designed to get people to associate Apple and iPhone with $desired_positive_qualities and you want to break your readers out of those associations. You can get around this by genericizing the brand (e.g. iPhone -> smartphone) but this doesn't work when you don't have a problem with the generic term or you want to talk about a specific companies product.

> I'm assuming that by capital A, versus lowercase a; atheists, you are trying to underscore the differences between people who understand that religion is a hoax but it doesn't affect me right now so I'll let it pass, and those who have been directly affected by religion and it's evils and see no other way but to fight it as hard as they push it?

I can't speak for the other poster, nor for a capital/lowercase distinction, but your own distinction fails to include me.

To me, religion inhabits a spectrum ranging from vague reverence for the numinous, through stories (either parable or claimed history) told for moral direction, to cynical, doctrinaire oppression. I have directly experienced some of each category (though not the most extreme of the oppressive end). That latter category absolutely affects me, both in terms of solidarity and threat of future expansion, and it absolutely deserves a rigorous fight. The rest is not so cut and dry, and some of it certainly does deserve to be not just allowed to "pass" but to be protected.

With that said...

> what do you hope to gain by talking to them?

A lot can be gained by talking to people you disagree with, even people you fiercely oppose. Aside from the other poster's excellent answer ("I like to be friendly with my neighbors, if not actual friends"), engaging ideas that you don't share is a good cure for your own ignorance and may provide ammunition for the battles actually worth having.

> don't let them in. keep them very far away from you.

Your post suggests that you go beyond your claim that religion is a "mental illness", that you seem to believe said illness is contagious even to the unafflicted. Have a little more confidence in your convictions!
Your point doesn't contradict mine even if made-up 51% number was true. Selective as usual focusing on its start and fact there's USG funding. Yet, a person looking on site at "About Tor," "Core team," and "Sponsors" doesn't get a clear indicator that the vast majority of funds so far as come from groups CIA created to wage propaganda wars and act for U.S. foreign policy. That fronts allegedly separated from despite them doing basically the same jobs today funded by U.S. government doesn't reduce that concern. Readers might think instead it's a mostly for-the-people organization whose funding is spread out among many groups instead of the kind its libertarian proponents would seem to fight rather than work for. Then, we have chat logs from a group funded by CIA & affiliates worried about their image if one CIA person is in the project.

Hence, "sort of." I'll change my statement to their source of support being clear when they state such things clearly on their web site and stop the kind of smears I saw in response to the Pando article. I mean, here's people taking money from CIA and/or affiliates openly speculating that someone saying so or implying it means something must be... working for CIA, a fascist, or something in a smear job. Repeat, people paid by vicious, authoritarian regimes they claim to fight accusing someone of evil or connections to such regimes for reporting their source of funding. Unreal...

I'll be interested to see how long popular support for Tor lasts if it's marketed as a former Navy tool currently supported by CIA and State department groups. The reality probably will change the perception of it and when/where to use it a lot. I still support the project as realists like me know it's a double-edge sword they need to work but might try to compromise in limited ways. Hence, me pushing strong security engineering to be applied to it.

Nope.

It only took me a few days to work out whitelists/blacklists for the sites I use often, i.e. most citicards.com subdomains get an "allow" but cardoffer.citicards.com gets a "deny". On other sites I come across it's usually trivial to whitelist the domains that provide their functionality, and most adservers and tracking servers I've already blocked.

Given browsers are the main place I get tracked, putting an allow all for my browser seems to defeat the purpose.

That said, it was pretty annoying the first few days.

There are a wide variety of commerce systems that require no government courts. Consider the Silent Trade, the old system used by Africans and Indians to trade.

Basic Things You Need to Know About ASO
This raises the interesting question of why we obscure the input when changing passwords. Showing the new password would allow people to check and correct it, so you'd only need one input.

Given that the contents of a password input can easily be revealed, the only security obscuring the input provides is from an attacker who can see the screen but not the keyboard, and has no physical access to the device - a pretty limited threat pool.

I guess the answer is that users expect passwords to be hidden. So we make their lives more difficult purely to keep them happy.
Back then, I highly doubt you would get sued. Your reputation would be ruined and you'd have trouble ordering anything else, but I think we're getting a bit away from the point I was trying to make.

"But even if that were true, in the world we do have, commerce is built upon the infrastructure provided by government. Just like the road system. And the government is thus entitled to regulate commerce just like it regulates left-hand turns on roads."

So by this argument, if the first amendment didn't exist, the government would have the right to regulate speech that uses public infrastructure (anything on public airwaves, the internet, delivered via the mail system, etc)? To make things more concrete, could the US government make a law "No one shall manufacture or sell a wallet"? (to pick the first thing that I saw).

Note that I personally am kind of ok with this, because the whole point of being sovereign is that you can do what you want; but I'm interested in exploring the justifications used to get people to buy into the system.
I stand corrected on that. But still, I think that when a large part of the populace is saying "we didn't really realise", Boris Johnson is far from happy with the fact he won, and Farage admitted in the first hours after the win that one of his primary promises was a lie (350M/week on health), it's reasonable to say "let's try this again for a confirmation".

I guess that the silver lining is that for those Americans that might be watching, they'll be less likely to 'protest vote' in favour of Trump this coming election. It'll encourage his core voters, but it might discourage the swing voters, and those are the ones that count.

I agree with your positive claim. Some tax systems are more distortionary than others. I think it's likely that consumption taxes are less distortionary than income taxes.

I don't think I agree with your normative claim. I think ceteris paribus that it's a virtue of a tax system if people pay in proportion to the value they get out of society. It sounds like you think that virtue is controlling. I think there are other virtues as well.

Today, any hobbyist can assemble one for $100 in marked-up hobbyist parts and in an afternoon, or, if that's too much work, buy one for $30 that works out of the box.

> When I split linked list in two, the new list must

Yes, which is what `split_off` is already doing. It doesn't take unsafe code or breaking the "Rust memory management model" to achieve this; ownership transfer is a fundamental part of the language. The `split_at_node` function that I describe could simply copy the implementation of the existing `split_off` function while removing the part where `split_off` iterates through the list to find the node at the specified index (which is the O(n) part of the function).
I think the bad mastering of many early CDs is mostly because mastering engineers didn't know how to master CDs. They were still employing the same techniques they'd been using for vinyl, where they were hardly applicable.

It's not about being clever, calling your political party "The Democratic Party" is itself a rhetorical device and a brand that is cultivated by hundred million dollar ad campaigns.

If you're going to break those associations you need to call them something else while still having your reader understand what you're talking about and 'childish insults' are one way to accomplish that. Language is powerful and controlling it controls people's perceptions. Maybe a more obvious example would be the PATRIOT Act. Who would be unpatriotic enough to vote against that?

This definitely happens outside of Chinatown as well. In fact there's a place at the border of Los Altos and Cupertino (right next to a Trader Joe's in fact) that deals with produce that is very close to expiration that was clearly sent over from other supermarkets. They also sell green that aren't "baby greens" -- i.e. they're grown a bit too mature and are now bitter and tougher than what the typical grocery store patron would like.

Obviously the nutritional value is the same, so the place makes for a great source for smoothie ingredients and frozen fruits to be consumed at a later date.
