> you end up with "projects" with a drug problem

You could just put them in high quality apartments and give them a stipend. The current proposal for a "projects" style homeless shelter where I am would have each unit cost $4,500 per month, with 90% of the units not having a private bathroom (and most not having a full kitchen).

For that price you could easily afford a high end apartment and give the people a large stipend. And if you spread the units out across the city so that each apartment building only had 1-2 homeless families, you'd avoid the problems of concentrating poverty.
maybe you can build a "plug" for the half-open window?

BTW, what makes a DMCA request binding for a company: does it have to host its services in the US, or would it be sufficient that it has a legal entity in the US?

I can imagine that many companies could have an office and a legal entity in US while the actual service is run somewhere else, and I'd think that DMCA would still be enforceable towards the US legal entity.
The "business" mindset is a funny thing. It turns bullies at worst and thieves at best into leads and customers, just because they're big.
For anyone tired of paying so much for ink replacements, look into a CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) [1]. I got one for our Epson and it far outperforms ink cartridges and even the replacement ink is cheap.

I've had some issues with the printer recognizing the cartridges, but after fiddling around enough it eventually does. It's definitely worth the effort.

Certainly true. There's a larger gap between the atheism of Feynman et al and the "atheism" of Stalin, than between the latter and the major world religions.
Betel nut and arecoline (one of the primary constituents, similar to nicotine) are ridiculously carcinogenic. Bad idea touching that stuff.

A contract manufacturing lab in the supplement industry tried to bring it into supplements with celebrity athletes promoting it. I did my research and decided it was a BAD idea outside of hardcore /well-researched circles and went on the attack.

https://blog.priceplow.com/betel-nut-arecoline

I had some legal threats but was in communication with toxicologists over the issue and was ready to take it all the way to court to protect my first Amendment rights. One major retailer then also got toxicologists involved. After much tension, the supplements were removed from the market.

And interestingly, the owners of the company that tried to bring it to market are now facing serious jail time for other things.

Point being?

1. Do not touch that stuff with a ten foot pole.

2. You can make a difference and protect consumers who do not know how to do the research themselves.

Sorry for the offtopic rant. I am a huge fan of stimulants but I do not believe in promoting all of them to everybody and urge you all much caution with them. Especially that Betel nut / arecoline poison.
Well, it appears they didn't start with a DMCA.

You're less vulnerable to Canonical power plays. They have a long history now of taking and making alternatives to common tools and systems and pushing them hard, with a view to using their large install base to gain control over the direction of "Linux" (as in, the complete package rather than the kernel, GNU/Linux, etc).

I'm not really sure how to word this without it sounding inflammatory, so please take it in good faith. Red Hat have been accused of the same.

This happened to me, too. My guess is that the simulation stops running when not open, but when it next runs it computes using a time delta calculated by the actual time since the tab was seen. So the integration adds a ridiculous amount of acceleration to the velocity, at which point the whole thing is doomed. This problem: http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/
That's not an option in practice, since the whole point of going 64 bit is to get larger address spaces. You could define a special purpose ABI with 32-bit pointers and 64-bit integer types (and people have done so). But doing it for the platform's standard ABI would be just commercial suicide.
How Developers Use Node.js – Flow.ci Weekly Mashup 12
I would suggest an additional theory.

It would seem equally likely that your original client was the entity that performed the white labeling. In which case they white labeled the site, and sold that cleaned product to AJ. In that scenario, AJ never saw a copyright, and your client is not only responsible for the issue, but also for distribution of copyrighted material for profit, which may not be in the best interest of your business. You have not mentioned any communication with the original client, which I doubt is the case, but I would tread lightly as the Dutch seem to be pushing for criminal pirated resale guidance from the EU, unless you are comfortable with that escalation.
As someone who has been in grad school way too long this article provides a succinct description of the reason I hesitate to consider an academic career.

However, I'm not sure the suggested solution at the end of the article is viable. Many successful researchers have learned that funding and reputation are based on creating and managing a brand, with scientific substance being a secondary consideration. I feel like it will be difficult to prevent that from factoring into hiring decisions regardless of the metrics used.
You are right. The article says to understand your choice, it doesn't say WHAT to choose.

Pretty sure the subtext is that developers are making their lives harder than they need to by not understanding the choice they are making.
That looks like a sensible explanation, thanks. I guess I can put a ceiling on dt as a quick work-around.

How do you know the more expensive printer is a no bullshit device?
Isn't FAT that was ripped off from CP/M?

Here is a (probably worthless) idea:

Create 1 or 2 good, serviceable network printer and experiment with different business models like subscriptions or pay-as-you-print, where the printer manufacturer _owns_ the printer an office or home just rents it.

In such a model, the companies incentives would align with the users values:

- Cheaper printing per page

- Less overhead on distribution

- No artificial costs and limitations

- Generally better printer:

- More serviceable

- Better software

- Long term support

- More environmentally friendly

Most people I know doesn't own a printer and just use the office printer anyway,
so why not make the office printer just-work?

I have heard it's the opposite: that smarter people are happier. I think the problem is these studies on happiness and psychology are so imprecise. maybe also anecdotal evidence and cherry picking.

they are simul ta neously able to see that the world falls short of their ideals.
Unfor tu nately, these vision ar ies also rec og nize that their abil ity to make
changes in the world is very lim ited. Because they are intense, these gifted
indi vid u als—both chil dren and adults—keenly feel the dis ap point ment
and frus tra tion that occurs when their ideals are not reached. They notice
duplic ity, pre tense, arbi trari ness, insin cer i ties, and absur di ties in soci ety
and in the behav iors of those around them. They may ques tion or chal lenge

ask, for exam ple, “Why are there such inflex i ble sex or age-role restric tions

a cer tain way? Why do people engage in hyp o crit i cal behav iors in which
they say one thing but then do the opposite? People say they are con cerned
with the envi ron ment, but their behav iors show oth erwise. Why do people
say things they really do not mean at all? They greet you with, ‘How are
you?’ when they really don’t want you to tell them the details of how you
are. Why are so many people so unthinking and uncar ing in their deal ings

Reminded me of a post recently that suggested liberal arts majors are typically better coders. I felt pretty good about myself reading that one too until I got to the part where it was written by somebody with a liberal arts degree, and like this paper didn't really give any evidence to support the claim except for some clearly self-serving unfalsifiable opinions.

How I get screwed: My HP printer will occasionally print a black-and-white page using all three colors of ink. Discovered this one day when I rubbed a fresh page and it smeared three colors. They call it 'wear leveling' or something. But we all know it means 'using up your expensive color ink instead of your cheap black ink'. What a crock.

This is absolutely not how most people think.
Lolita, the book, is not about kidnapping of a girl or any kind of perversity. It is about futility and pains of worshipping a fleeting beauty, which is a temporary state of approaching perfection (beauty is youth + health. Proximity of a local optimum). If there is something to worship at all, it is beauty, not idols.

The book is about ugliness and mediocrity of so called modern society with its rigid set of dogmas and set in stone prejudices. It is about suffering. About inability in principle to catch that fleeting beauty, a spark of perfection. The moment you approach it you have already ruined it. Observer ruins the observation, or rather realizes the painful dissonance between his assumptions and actuality, but continued his futile attempts to catch it, because everything else is not worth of even a second look.

Dear gentlewomen of the jury. Do not attempt to judge things you probably never even understood.
My only gripe with the newer MagSafe variant is that the part that attaches to the actual port comes out much further than the old one, so when I sit with the laptop on my lap and my legs crossed, I always accidentally push it upwards with my left leg just enough that it becomes unplugged, and then I don't notice it's not charging until I get a notification saying my battery is low. I can't imagine anyone else has this problem, but it happens to me several times a week.

I'm not sure that it would. At least, this story is not unusual. It's horrific, but not unusual to anyone working in social work or health care.

This girl was certainly very young, younger than the norm, but girls of 13-14 marrying older men happened more often in the 50s than we like to admit. The lines between 'running off' and 'abduction' aren't clear today and certainly were not clear then. States like New Mexico still allow marriages at such ages in cases of pregnancy ... a shocking twist in the law. Marilyn Monroe famously married at 15 in 1944. That wasn't considered odd. Had this man been single and convinced the girl to go through with a marriage ceremony prior to her escape, or had they not crossed state lines, the entire case might have never have risen to any public attention. The girl would have been returned, the marriage annulled, and the entire affair quieted.

Note how she was rescued. Her rescuer did not go immediately to the police but instead contrived a scheme to move the pair out of their local support network. The rescuer wasn't taken aback in horror by the situation. She recognized what was happening and knew to take certain steps. Her getting them to cross state lines is either lucky coincidence or legal genius as she did not know of the pair's travel history. She was not surprised to the point of immediately marching down to the police station. She was aware of the difficulties because this was not something totally new in her experience.

Very interesting. I live in a place where we have significant issues with ice build up on roof surfaces, gutters, etc. One way to deal with this is to electrically heat the roof and gutters. This of course is expensive (very!). So I had the ideal that one could use the available solar energy (it is reasonably sunny in winter here) to melt the ice. My idea is not to use PV panels and restive electrical heating but to directly transfer the solar energy as heat to the ice. This would be done with some sort of heating panel, coupled to the metalic gutters with a heat pipe. Sometime I need to do some analysis to see if it is a viable idea. How to ensure snow does not cover the panel/solar heat collector is also a potential problem.

> Why would an application that was a music album be any more likely to be a virus than any other piece of software?

That's not the concern here. How many applications do you have installed? Maybe 10-20 things for the average user. That's pushing it really now as most things are in browser.

Now given that, how many music albums do you own? 10, 20, 30? It's not uncommon to see people who have in the 100s (at least in college).

If you need to install something for every one of those albums that's a much harder space to audit then 1 music player.
The article mentions that they tried this in NYC. Unfortunately, the same approach doesn't work as well in a city that's almost 100 times as large as SLC, and which has a much more competitive real estate market.

The program has ended up being quite expensive to run, and it's not actually cost effective, to the point where homeless advocates actually criticize the program's in effectiveness.

It's also caused negative impact for other residents in the buildings or nearby areas. Depending on what the stipend provided by the government is and whether it's above or below market rate, landlords will either intentionally neglect and blight buildings in order to run them down, or they will refuse to rent to market tenants, with the knowledge that they can make more money from the stipends for homeless housing. This, of course, makes it more difficult to find housing and has the effect of driving prices upwards.

Note that Go was invented to address a very specific socio-economic issue that Google was facing.

Go's simplicity is syntactic. The complexity is in semantics and runtime behavior. It is an economic trade off. A language with a 'complex' syntax, such as Rust, is intimidating to the novice and presents a problem of how to 'integrate' a newbie with an evolving codebase written by old hands.

It is true, imo, that ultimtely, the initial cost haircut exacted by languages such as Rust/Scala/Haskell pay substantial dividends, but there is the 'socio-' aspect of the context for you!
