"Freedom of expression" isn't specific to government-protected or limitations on government-censorship actions. It's a general principle. It's also not generally protected.

Specific legal structures protecting speech rights are government grants, within those legal constructs. The legal doctrine of the US First Amendment free speech tradition is that it is a broad, but not absolute, limit on government prior suppression of speech rights. It specifically doesn't apply to private individual or corporate limitations on speech.

The history of free speech protections in the US is complex and surprisingly recent. It wasn't until 1919 that Oliver Wendell Holmes in a Supreme Court dissent laid the basis for what would become seen as a very broad free-speech protection. Note that as a dissent, his views didn't carry at the time.

It wasn't until further cases in the 1930s and 1960s that the present regime of protected speech -- protected from government interference -- fully came into being in the US.

The latter set of annoyances are of course what Apple are intending to solve with the W1/AirPods -- intelligent switching between all iCloud devices without re-pairing.

I personally favor Bluetooth headphones even with all the annoyance because as bad as it is, cords are even worse.

For those who feel differently, I suspect they'll either use the bundled earpods or just leave the lightning adapter attached to their best pair of headphones and move on with their lives. Maybe I'm wrong and everyone except me is rotating five pairs of headphones between six different devices on a regular basis, but it seems like just another case of piling on to resist change.

Exactly.

It's also worth looking at git internals because it's very elegant, clean and simple. In my opinion, one of the best designed software systems I've come across.

I encourage you to look at the README in the first git commit, it's very enlightening.
Time crystals might exist after all
This whole thread is quite a bit tangential to the fact that Earth is the only habitat planet we can actually get to, and will remain so baring a significant change in technology. Rockets won't get us elsewhere.

So we might as well look after this planet.
I find these quotes very confusing, did they delete any words of criticism&support as well as the repost of the photo, and if so were they posted separately or together with the photo?

It seems like purely reposting a photo without comment could now be being called a post of support. While fb users can use whatever slang they like, I expect a media that assumes we don't know about these behaviors in the walled gardens and tells us what specifically was censored.

(Perhaps this seems like splitting hairs to FB users, but as a non-user of a communication network, I would tolerate a network that bans pictures of blue but not a network that bans criticism of its ban of pictures of blue. The latter requires government intervention.)
Yeah, the PayWALL base features are very limited unless you purchase the "advanced" features packages, and there are a lot of them. The basic functionality included for free in a $40 linksys/cisco require a subscription fee to use on the SonicWALL. Some of the extra features like gateway av/content filtering can peg the CPU on the device, making the lower-end SonicWALLs not a very good purchase for anyone wanting to do more than forward some ports. They allow consumers to purchase DPI on the lower end devices but they lack the CPU power required, and turning it on can bring your entire network down.

Well you would have to understand that Mexico is a mix, but not a perfect mix. Southern Mexican states have more Indigenous people, and mestizos there have more indigenous characteristics, but if you go to Northern states it won't be difficult to find blond people, that's because there were less native Americans in the north than in the south.

Then you have to understand that the poorest states of Mexico are in the south, therefore a lot of people from the South emigrates to the US, and that's where Americans get the stereotypical look for a Mexican.

As an anecdote, I live in a Mexican Northern state, in my last year of college I got the opportunity to study as an exchange student in Charleston S.C., I went there with other 3 students, the three of them were what Americans would call "White", some people were confused, how a Mexican could be white? They had a clear picture of how a Mexican should look like, and usually that picture comes from Mexicans with a little more indigenous blood in their veins, as myself, I have black hair and my skin is clear brown even though two of my grandparents had blue eyes.

So yeah, it all depends on where in Mexico you go, there are white Mexicans, native american Mexicans, even black and Asian Mexicans in the whole territory but we're part of a not so perfect mix, there are zones where one genetic pool is stronger than the other.

And you don't think the Japanese didn't know that? (On the other hand, anyone pointing that out would have been assassinated, so...). And note we were likely to be committed to the European theater as well.

A lot of this comes down to quality, which by and large neither the Japanese had at the time, e.g. an ability to built reliable airplane engines significantly more powerful than the one the Zero started out with, and as for the PRC, the latest tidbit in this area is their embarrassment that for all the billions of ball point pens they manufacture each year, they have to import the ball bearings, since they can't produce them in the quality required, at least not at the volumes required.

(On the other hand, their Long Lance torpedoes were an unpleasant surprise, and their torpedoes actually worked, or at least they quickly fixed whatever problems theirs' had (I've read in passing that all the naval power's torpedoes had problems at the beginning of the war, unfortunately the US Navy bureaucracy's total inability to believe field reports resulted in very bad results for more than a year). Then again, you didn't really need such fast and long range torpedoes, and they weren't decisive.)

And quality matters a lot in warfare. Just our nuclear attack subs alone could make an invasion of Taiwan ultimately impractical, unless they somehow figure out how to find them (and even espionage isn't going to be enough to target weapons).

>But, they do.

Exactly. The Fed has very few mechanisms by which to inject money in the economy. Nothing they do dictates interest rates, but they can influence specific rates through open market operations. But you (and the banks) are free to charge whatever rate you want.
You probably need to research these or see a suitable advisor before deciding if Atlas is the right answer. From a UK point of view wouldn't be surprised if Revenue look that little more carefully given the amount of government fuss about entirely legal tax avoidance recently.

I'm surprised at the downvotes too - I'd have thought anyone outside the US and not knowing the laws (probably of both countries) would have similar questions to avoid landing themselves with an expensive mess.
It's also the first principle of engineering ethics. Your first duty is to the public, followed by your client, followed by your employer. Which means that sometimes you will have to say "no" to your employer.

Yes. There can be consequences. You could lose your job. Acting ethically despite potential personal consequences is what is demanded of a professional engineer. If you're not willing to uphold the code of ethics, you shouldn't become a licensed engineer.

The licensing requirement is supposed to help people refuse unethical demands. The business needs a license, and anyone they would hire to replace him needs a license. The engineering professional association thus has some leverage to enforce standards. Probably not enough to entirely eliminate personal consequences, but they at least reduce the number of unscrupulous people you have to compete against.
Devil's advocate: I don't see why Facebook isn't allowed to choose what is or isn't displayed on their site. The only reason Facebook is a platform people choose to use is because of the editorial decisions they have been making. And the problem was that the policy was too consistent? That they were not making enough exceptions to the rule for important people?
"Also, didn't VW do this in Europe, too? Are we to believe this guy in the U.S. is responsible for the emissions cheating in Europe, too?"

Yes, this is the guy responsible for Europe too. Check out the justice.gov story I linked in parent for richer summary:

- He was an employee in Germany from 1983 - 2008

- He led the effort when he realized they couldn't engineer an engine to meet US standards in 2006

- He moved to the USA in 2008 and furthered the fraud as "Leader of Diesel Competence"

I'll bet they would. Especially online.

Online retailers (esp small ones) are paying ~2.5-3% in credit card fees, and compete heavily on price. I run a small online store - if my credit card fees suddenly dropped by 2% the first thing I would do is drop all my prices accordingly.

They could start by rejecting the default assumption that nudity should be considered sexual by default. And maybe the default assumption that sexuality is bad - I don't want them to shift to trying to detect if an image is arousing or not; but I do want whatever censorship system they feel they need to have in place to be able to distinguish between child pornography and a photograph of a child being burned by napalm. "Really fucking stupid" is an understatement.
I have the new MacBook as well as a (pre-ordered) iPhone 7. I use both at work using headphones for private listening. If I want to use my iPhone 7's headphones, I will need to purchase an adapter that does not yet exist (3.5 > lightning).

I'm left with two options: 1) buy wireless headphones, 2) buy 3.5mm headphones and use the adapter when using the iPhone. It's not a huge issue, but it's not the "just works" motto when I have to finagle a way to make headphones work with two Apple products.

No, the official English name (and the most accurate translation of the official Spanish name) is United Mexican States.

Its Estados Unidos Mexicanos, not Estados Unidos de México.
No, the processor will redirect you to the page of your bank where you need to enter a code sent by sms by your bank. This is true 2fa, it works at least with all Russian banks I've used and I'm sure it works in EU the same way (I thought it was like that everywhere in the world?)
Thanks to Snowden, we know that intelligence agencies already intercept shipments, they have no need to buy & return stuff.

Plus, just about every device with a computer/storage inside could in theory be tampered with. So, your argument seems to imply that a 'no return' policy should be enforced on most equipment. That's just insane.

are related to Canon printers.
Awesome! I've been a big fan of Patrick since the days of the old Joel on Software forums, and I've always admired his plucky optimism.

Atlas is an incredibly cool, potentially game-changing project, and Stripe was already a game-changing company before launching it. I'm excited to see what happens next!

Way to go, Patrick!!
Of course they're allowed to choose. And we're allowed to choose to criticize them in public for those choices. And they're allowed to choose to change their actions based on that criticism. Everybody is acting on the basis of their freedoms.
I've looked at their docs many many times. Never took the plunge.
Why do you assume 10% efficiency? That seems awfully low?

I agree with regards to rooftop being an important part, though. It makes sense to use land that is already occupied to a large degree.
What becomes of that other $30k? I assume there's a reason why you wouldn't just pay yourself $30k and keep the tax-free $70k.
Nice work Patrick!
> It's not like they can review every picture individually

It's exactly like that. They could not allow pictures at all, not censor at all, or close down the business, too. Every option is open to them.
Yes, the population map is exactly what I was looking for - makes total sense and explains the differences.

Thanks
Thanks! There was a delay after the Civil War as you'd expect from all the chaos and disruption that caused (e.g. MIT got its charter before the outbreak, but wasn't able to start up until after), but it's pretty clear, and gets really dramatic the further you go forward.
A thing of beauty. This guy is so much smarter than I am.
yawn.

Apologies ahead of time, there is no need for me to comment on this.
Pedantic: From 1619 (first slaves in Virginia Territory) until 1865 is indeed (two) centuries. But it wasn't the USA until 1776, so just about 90 years.

So if I'm a criminal from a super-evil gang or something can I pay someone to come on any meeting call we are having, have him talk a bit on it, and kill him once it's over (giving money to his family or whatever) in an attempt to make it so people outside of the wiretap order are in the call thus making it so the cops need to hang up?

It's a confusing example, but is it possible?
A Slack group for Startup School 2016 attendees

> I don't think that was what was being said at all, if I did then I would agree with you. I think "tech luminaries" were used as examples of people that would be known here, and that have fairly liberal views on race that could have been different with a different environment when young.

Bill Gates is actively trying to segregate schools by forcing public school systems to adopt magnet and charter schools. Statistically, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the creation of magnet and charter schools results in increased segregation. Sacrilege, I know.

To put this another way, I will make a definitive statement. The entire US is filled with racist policies regardless of region, both in the past and present. Unless you find reason to argue with this statement I'm not sure what your problem is with my refusal to accept the pigeon-holing of the South as the US' paragon of racism.
That's a concern for sure but not as big as you make it out to be IMO.
you don't see high interest rates because the banks are undermining the currency by buying their own debt (lowering their interest rates).

not sure what the rest of your post is addressing. i'm familiar with deflation.
I dunno -- if self-driving cars become so good, so safe, so ubiquitous -- they'll be more like a utility. Why own a car and all the maintenance hassle, or for a family -- why own two?

If that comes about, then the automobile market would likely shrink or growth would stagnate. Purchasing of automobiles would be much less about any kind of individualism/style/brand loyalty. Competition for share would be more intense. Ford would do well to try and integrate itself into the service-provider realm to stay relevant.
Given your definitions is there any concern about introverts that don't have social anxiety? Do introverts just work better alone or do they actually perform badly in open space plans or in paired programming?

This is true. It's especially true if you have services depending on one another. I think there's a middle-ground there.

Right now, 99% of people I know use Github-Workflow, master is always deployable (often CD), other branches are able to deploy using "hubot deploy branch-name to xxx"

I think if you take the latter and you make it easier to deploy an application on top of your cluster, you can gain a lot.

The workflow today is more cumbersome. If you could create your application, attach some definitions to it and launch it to the scheduler, it would be better.
I recall a recent article on much of olive oil being counterfeit. It made me think how easy it would be to dupe other foods, and I suspect a lot of food is fake or falsely labeled.

How easy would it be to pass a regular banana off as an organic banana? How easy is it to label one thing as something else? Makes you think a bit.
Voluntary charity is always an option for you. Don't most people mean mandatory, state-controlled taking from you to give to someone else when discussing this subject? Would you support "measurably reducing" my income so you don't get robbed? So I don't get robbed?

I didn't say any of that.

> If I'm not made aware of the rules, I can't fix anything.

I don't think Google or Apple could ever (or should ever) - in any meaningful way - advise you on copyright law. That would ultimately boil down to a civil issue between you and Facebook. Facebook, however, made it quite explicit what their issue was. By your article it seems you did not try to rectify the issues that Facebook brought. The notion that you exhausted all avenues to getting your extension re-activated is simply not true.
Now a malware can target your scripts and get a free ride to all your system yay.
I am not very sure this is tat bad. If code breaks because dict is no longer ordered, people should have used an ordered one from the start. It's a happy accident it is faster and ordered and not bad because whoever relies on dicts bein unordered (when sometimes they aren't) deserves whatever breakage they get.
It's overrated until a customer decides to sue you. Also there are very few downsides to incorporating and limited liability is a massive upside.
> 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.

In theory, but not in practice. I mean, even in los Estados Unidos Mexicanos [0], the phrase Estados Unidos without qualification invariably and without confusion refers to the USA, and the things and people belonging to their northern neighbor are described with the adjective "estadounidense".

[0] Which, AFAIK, no one ever actually refers to as such in conversation, and there have even been recent proposals to change the official name to simply México.
I'm not disputing that racism is endemic to humanity and prevalent in all cultures. I'm saying that the US is unique in having racism challenges that impact all its citizens on a day-to-day basis, directly, in ways that it is actively struggling to mitigate and/or metabolize. I'm not making a moral argument, just a descriptive one.

You keep responding as if to rebut an argument that the US is the world capital of slavery, or that the Europeans somehow have clean hands. I'm the wrong person to have that argument with.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification!

Before I seem contrarian, I will note that I love sashimi, and of course I can tell the difference between tuna and salmon sashimi. I don't want to think I have a dull tongue, but other times, when I'm just hungry, I don't care. I see the point of worrying about being ripped off when thinking you are buying high end fish, but if I buy cheap fish in a meal from a stall, I don't really expect much in the way of authenticity, so I'm not sure I would care. Perhaps I am just more forgiving.
