You should report to his family and his details should be publicized should their response not be sufficient. Even then it's likely he won't stop. Only take back what he stole as anything else is likely stolen goods. The point here is to provide assistance for any other victims in locating who scammed them as well as making the scammer painfully aware of the damage he will cause himself by continuing with this behavior.

Why am I deprioritizing police? Police really don't handle this sort of thing well. They'll likely consider it a civil matter or just won't make the stretch to pursue. It doesn't help the victim is not in the US (lower that priority some more) Sure you can log the complaint, but unless he's brazen and lots come forward about him, they likely will not bring charges. (go read up on bitscotty scamming bitcoin-otc'ers, he did it for years even after being doxxed and reported to police) I'm not saying not to report though. Make sure his details are accessible so others can follow your report.

If you want another fast track, he said he's in college so report to their administration. Without rights or due process in the way they'll probably sanction his ass immediately. Did he scam from the school's network? If so it is now a school issue and they don't like looking bad. :)

I appreciate that and I am sure it may be useful to people who do data analysis against a SQL server, but I see very few of those around me. Most use excel to calculate something and for the analysis behind a powerpoint deck. None of that is ever a simple sum or average of a column. If it does involve data, it usually involves non trivial calculations that are not really suited for a database. And if it involves things like aggregating P&L or any financials, unlikely an IT dept in a large organisation will leave that in a SQL server available for any user to mess with.

I don't know what proportion of users Microsoft thinks it caters to with these features but I haven't met any in my 10 years in banking.

Users who do vlookups, use VBA, who need to audit a formula, who need to link a powerpoint deck to excel, etc, that I see every day. And to those, no, no new feature since 2007.
This photo shows the atrocity of using napalm. The suffering of this girl (any idea in how much pain she is?) is much more important than the hurt feelings of some people about 'showing too much skin'.

I think that having a license that is both open source and that protects the creator's ability to earn money from his creation (thus paying for it's maintenance really) is a very good and important idea.

Personally though I wouldn't go with the TimeBomb idea, I think that if I ever get the chance I'll decide on a single expected revenue stream (such as sass hosting) and provide an open source license for use except for that purpose.
I see. Don't name it that way then. It just annoys people and make it sound like you can only ask questions about being a male engineer which is kind of uneventful it seems.

Truth to be told I know there are women that enjoy hanging around in almost all-male groups as well because they find it more relaxed. Possibly wouldn't have believed if one of them hadn't told me though.

It's also very important to notice that network blocking calls like send/recv also release the P because the scheduler knows what's happening and passes the FDs over to the net poller, that is a single thread that waits on all of them through epoll or similar API. So you don't end up with one M for network socket and you get fully transparent async networking
haha, your explanation is exactly the mutable vs immutable thing.

dicts are mutable, so, it doesn't create a new object to make an assignment

numbers are immutable, so, it does.

I think this argument is very shallow at best. You seem to be claiming that the choice is either "use all fossil fuels forever" or "give up all fossil fuels immediately". You also seem to be ignoring the fact that replacing any fossil fuel tech you name with an equivalent one that doesn't produce CO2 is the very definition of "advancing the tech".

The argument for clean energy is basically that we need to be doing as much as we can to advance energy technology as quickly as possible no matter how it affects legacy industry, like fossil fuels. The human costs from ditching these legacy fuels are real, but rate very low compared to the cost to future humanity. There really is no argument about what we should be doing, but rather how quickly we can and how much effort is needed.

Freedom is not a done deal. Not in America, not anywhere.

The founders did not give us freedom. They gave us a process for slowing the inevitable erosion of freedom.

This is that process.

There's a lot of talk here about whether higher turnout is a worthy goal, if that means expending energy to overcome the apathy, indifference, or jadedness of people who are thus unlikely to be astute, well-informed, or community-minded.

I say that high turnout is a good in its own right. Turnout itself—for whatever result—is an antiseptic to corruption. Low turnout is a bellwether for how much people in power can get away with. Local beat reporters are leaving journalism as the newspapers fold. Who's minding the shop? We are.

It's not just about results, it's about culture. If we are indifferent to the indifference of others, we pass a weaker democracy to the next generation.

What was illegal about it?

It was possibly immoral, if you think there's a moral requirement to hire the first person that fits the role. Though, employment is a relationship, and like any relationship there can be a host of reasons why they don't start or work out. It can simply be a matter of preference, on both sides.

It's not illegal to discriminate, it's illegal to discriminate for particular classes.
I don't get it. Why does a Norwegian paper complain about an American company? Facebook isn't Altenposten's website, you post something on Facebook, you play by Facebook's rules. You don't agree, then don't post on Facebook and go run your own website / printed paper.

And if you feel that Facebook is too large and censoring things, go talk to your government. If you are a large enough paper in your country, you should have a say.

I think the biggest issue here is that there is no way to get into a reasonable discussion with Facebook that a picture should not be removed or pixelated. It's automated, and no Facebook representative will look at it.

It should be very easy for Facebook to include a picture like this in their whitelist (eg. all award winning photos or something).
This is less safe than the branching alternatives. Instead of "moving" the original commit, this copies the original commit to a new one and leaves the original one dangling and waiting to be garbage collected.

Also, if you have more than one commit before you noticed you were on the wrong branch, this only grabs the one commit.

Craigslist's sublet/temporary section is a pretty good place for this. I've found it works pretty well being able to rent a place for a few weeks while the owner is out of town/country. Obviously unlike AirBnB there is no false pretense of security, but that's fair enough seeing as how you (as owner/lessor) have the greatest incentive to look after that.

If you were, it would be terrible and racist, considering the much more serious impediments people of racial minorities tend to have to vote. But I wasn't saying that, just that it was very focused on them, presumably because most or all of the people you have writing the copy are white millennials, and probably all men. Try to scrounge up some other people to look at the site.

As for the impediments, again, if you're not lily-white, all those things go double, with more barriers, besides. Meanwhile, I've been a white student and under-employed in a recession while voting religiously, and it was never that hard.

Thanks for the tl;dr. However, the fun fact is not true for surjective functions, IIRC, in which case multiple inputs may relate to one output, if this is relevant for WaveNets.
The best way to get people to make the kinds of decisions you are talking about, is through their pocket book. You can't guilt most people into not doing something important to their lives, like visiting a famous city or staying cool enough to be able to go to work the next day, even if it is something you personally consider frivolous. This is the entire reason why markets exist.

More to the point, if there was a carbon free air travel then you would have no moral case against visiting Paris (or wherever). The marginal cost in terms of the environment of one person, more or less, staying home is pretty darn close to zero. The only real way to convince a few million people to stay home or travel closer to home, is through a carbon tax or something similar. But you seem to have conveniently left that out of your argument here.

"America" is the only word in "the United States of America" that is sufficiently unique to identify which country you're talking about. Mexico is "the United Mexican States", so there's a large overlap. Canada's just Canada.

So being pedantically technically-correct, people saying "the United States" or just "the States" are using a name that could be confused for Mexico in theory in some place or time.
I haven't run it yet as I am travelling, so this is speculation based on my interpretation of the eocs. The documentation seems to suggest that some optimizations are implemented using maple and that the software could be run without it albeit without those optimizations.
I am coming to understand that the purpose of almost all zoning regulations is to exclude "undesirable" people from the area. Poor people are considered undesirable. So zoning codes are tweaked until the effect is that high incomes are required.

You have to have a certain cynicism to understand that there is a huge disconnect between what regulations discuss (health and safety; parking requirements; setbacks; etc.) and what is the impact of the rules. The reason rules are made is they have a desired effect. The effects are often not obvious from the language of the rule, but if the effects turn out contrary to the interest of the rule-makers things will be tweaked.

So the language and purported purpose of rules is obfuscation. The rule-makers are paying attention to the effect of the rules. That is their real purpose.

The form of the rules is optimised to make them appear beneficial to all, while the function is optimised to benefit the rule-makers.
I can't believe no one has responded yet with "use a GUI". After gaining a basic understanding of how branches and merges work, and I do mean basic, I've never been able to screw up a local repo with a GUI client enough that I haven't been able to recover with the same GUI tools.

I understand that people need to know how to use their tools, but for git most people can get away with the very basic usage that GUIs provide. If you've made some unrecoverable mistake with an important set of changes, you can always review the history in the same GUI and reimplement the important changes in a new branch.

I've been using mailtrain in a business context (not talking about buy in newsletters) for a while now and I purely love it! It's fast, reliable and the ui is perfectly organized.

What I still miss is simple Email functions like adding attachements and CC receipients. This sounds rediculous, but the missing CC has been keeping us off from using mailtrain in a lot of campaigns where simply other people where important to be informed about replies.

Still I suggest anyone trying out mailtrain as it is super simple to spin up. I love seeing it getting new releases, thumbs up!

Local residents concerns about density (parking, etc.) is one thing.

The bigger one is that the image most of these types of units seem to be trying to convey is that of small, efficient studios with bath & minimal kitchen for yuppies that used shared spaces to augment the small private spaces. (I've stayed multiple times in a 170 sq. ft. designed hotel room in NYC and it is indeed pretty much a place to sleep and work at a small desk.)

However, what a lot of residents probably see is something that isn't far removed from an SRO [1] such as you see in the Tenderloin and other dingy old downtown areas. If this is your perspective, it's not hard to see why you'd resist it.

I also had a similar kind of license in mind. My idea was: the software becomes lincensed under an open source license once any one of these happens:

1. I earn x amount of money out of my work

2. It's n seconds since EPOCH

3. I am pronounced dead by a qualified proffesional or nobody has heard from me for m years.
One is the basis of a stable social order, and one is not. Once you abandon the principle of private property and self-ownership, then human rights just become a popularity contest, about which values and attitudes are acceptable (not polygamy, but yes homosexuality! Not white racial awareness, but yes other groups' ethnic/racial awareness!).

It's not a viable principle to base a justice system on. It will inevitably lead to politics being turned into a venue through which groups fight to expand their power at the expense of others. This is hugely wasteful.
But it isn't - unless you are counting Asians and Jews as "white".
fantastic project! I have wanted to do something like this for a while.. think I will try to copy yours a bit :-)
all we need now are a sensor to turn off/on automatic depending on people in the room or not.

Advanced bonus points:

1) (simpler version), connect to a calendar service, and match photos to calendar. (e.g. you have a visit from your brother on saturday, so show photos of him and your kids that day).

2) (more advanced), use a camera to recognize people in the room, and base photos on these (I can these the perfect host mode, where a perfect host would find photos from the basement and put on mantelpiece before a friend come to visit, making that person feel special).

so many thins that could be cool here!

> If ints act that way, shouldn't strings?

`str' can be interned in some situations, though the rules vary across implementations and versions. Most of these things just boil down to unintuitive caching optimizations. Like you mention, it's pretty rare to check the object identity for integers or strings, but if you are doing so, you probably want the real answer.

Aside Python's small integers, True, False, and None, Java has these rules for boxing in the specification [1]:

> If the value p being boxed is an integer literal of type int between -128 and 127 inclusive (§3.10.1), or the boolean literal true or false (§3.10.3), or a character literal between '\u0000' and '\u007f' inclusive (§3.10.4), then let a and b be the results of any two boxing conversions of p. It is always the case that a == b.

> Ideally, boxing a primitive value would always yield an identical reference. In practice, this may not be feasible using existing implementation techniques. The rule above is a pragmatic compromise, requiring that certain common values always be boxed into indistinguishable objects. The implementation may cache these, lazily or eagerly. For other values, the rule disallows any assumptions about the identity of the boxed values on the programmer's part

Particularly for confidential things, or when in real hurry, I really can't ship it, I have to carry it along.

A typical case is that we have software in development, I'm about to demonstrate it to a customer tomorrow, and before I leave for the trip, I'm making the final build and tweaking of demonstration data set at office and installing in the laptop that I use as a demo server.

By the time I'm ready, the DHL shipments for the day have gone and if I ship it, it would be there one day after my demo. So it has to be in my luggage.

Yes, checked-in luggage may also be lost and delayed, but with direct flights, I'll be fine as long as I'm not going to CDG (Paris).
The placement of the apostrophe is correct and crucial. "America's" would mean "from the United States of America" while "Americas'" means "from North or South America". The Mayan calendar discussed is from what is now Mexico. So it is Americas' but not America's.

Correct to some extent (the same can be said of Al Jazeera) but they do have a quite bit more integrity and can be trusted with many more topics with much more ease than RT. To be fair I vet news from those sources as well. But painting both CNN and BBC with the same broad stroke as RT is being disingenuous. RT is on a whole other level of fud. Don't trust the BBC/CNN/Al Jazeera on domestic affairs from within their own countries but RT can't be trusted with anything.
