And, in fact, they do measure it that way (at least in parts of the US).

Once I couldn't get released from a hospital for a physical problem - and they used the same argument. Because they could. (I ended up calling my lawyer who came and reassured them that I was indeed crazy to want to leave, but that their liability ended when I signed the acknowledgement that I might die at any moment.)

I'd assume that if it were to become legal, there would be some sort of evaluation process - the state does like its checklist of criteria met.
"What's the law you're abiding with that says you need to implement such a backdoor? Name it. Even the FBI named the law or laws it thought would help it force Apple to put a backdoor in its phones."

A court order to enable warrantless wiretapping per FISA provisions. That's what they were doing with others per the leaks. The Sentry Eagle leaks, highest classification they had, indicated the FBI "compelled" domestic firms to "SIGINT-enable" their stuff with FISA mentioned repeatedly. It didn't define the methods they used to compel companies.

So, they have some way of leaning on them with the Patriot and FISA Acts as legal support. It shouldn't surprise you given it's happening in an active, police state with apathetic citizens who haven't forced Congress to roll back the legislation. Media has been fairly complicit, too, as they're not pushing the angles that would stir people into action. They watered down the previous debates.

Until these legislations are killed, there's secret courts, secret consequences, and gag orders that all these companies are faced with. Unlikely anybody will help them if they violate the rules that serve the state. So, it's on the citizenry to modify those rules so there's accountability. They mostly don't care. So, compliance with the court orders is rational choice by a company with no rational alternatives unless it intends to shutdown and make everyone jobless. Which will likely just shift business to competitors that secretly cooperate with the State. Like with Lavabit.

Note: Apple got to be lucky exception since FBI publicized the case and tried to fight in court of public opinion on top of an actual court. Terrible thing is we still don't know if they backdoored stuff for them with that being a show. Especially that HSM. It's illegal to know in the U.S..
> The presence of buses inherently makes other forms of transportation worse. Buses will often kill cyclists. Buses intrude on crosswalks and honk their horns at people who dare cross the light.

It sure does! That's why we need more rail-like bus designs, with physically separated lanes and dedicated signals. Buses shouldn't be driving in the same lanes as cyclists, and their routes shouldn't be designed to minimize turning, and when they do, it shouldn't be during a regular crosswalk cycle.

I think the most unfortunate thing about this being so expensive and underwhelming is that now there's no good alternative for people that don't want to spend that kind of money on a phone to have an Android phone without an OEM skin and with quick updates to new Android versions. This premium phone is only guaranteed updates for two years, and the update situation in Android land is still appalling. Why isn't anyone working on a better driver model for smart phones like for the PC? I want the latest version of Android without any kind of skin, but I don't see any real alternative for me anymore. How can the company behind Android be satisfied with this situation?

My view is that if you need an IDE to maintain your code effectively; if your volume of edits is such that macros and navigation tricks make a meaningful impact on your pace of development, then your code probably has serious architectural problems¹.

You see all impediments to action as debilitating, but I think impediments, carefully curated, can provide useful constraints on my development process. Friction helps me see where my interfaces are getting strained.

Creepy Clown Sitings/Reports? What is going on?
There are reports of it in at least 16 states currently, however it seems to be a combination of urban-myth/hoax and jokester-types acting on the opportunity. Lots of sitings and threats being confirmed as fake, but lots being confirmed as real too (attempting to lure kids and people into the woods with candy and money, woman in Nova Scotia, Canada, reportedly surrounded by 5 clowns, etc.).

Like I said, seems to be a combination of people doing this; what with Stephen Kings' 'It' being filmed, Halloween being around the corner, some criminals, and jokester-types taking advantage.

I dunno, what do you guys think? True, false, bit o' both?

Here are two articles I read that talk about both possibilities

It is a formal specification for a specific kind of flow charts, yes. The specifics of the implementation, the history, and the tooling around it are what's interesting.

Your comment is a bit analogous to someone commenting "Humm, this looks an awful lot like programming?" on a link documenting a forgotten programming language. Well yes, it's true, but it's a tautological statement.
Well, I guess, I am more wondering what you, personally, are doing to "solve poverty" and that isn't merely some rhetorical device or idle curiosity. I run at least three websites intended to get useful info into the hands of the most vulnerable and needy. I am not a fan of policy advocacy and I wonder why you are putting so much time and energy into this argument. If it is a derail, why are you spending time and attention on the derail, thereby taking energy away from solutions?

And I suppose that sounds hypocritical. But I am just basically trying to get through the damn day and that's why I am talking with a stranger on the internet about a topic I tend to intentionally avoid as not a good use my time.

Peace.
The problem is, I don't think you can say that it's a form of a giving up, or a fundemental weakening of power.

We are creating absurd amounts of information compared to before. Just because US Gov could access the measly amount of info that was generated before doesn't mean that they should be able to access the crazy amounts created now. It is from a very narrow perspective that anyone can call this a "fundemental weakening of government". Compared to before the internet, they're still drowning in insane amounts of data.

We can also add that if they can access some things, they will manipulate their way into accessing more things. Which means that reducing privacy and security is just optimization for them. And that will have costs beyond the US Government's own doing.

Sure, the current law climate seems to be that they can access it. But that climate was created with pushes from LE agencies and ignorant politicians. You may argue that that has always been the case, but clearly there's increasing demand for this to be decided democratically. So US Gov "giving up" this "right" might be the thing that democracy wants.
Yeah, that's what I said. It seems so many of these leakers or government examples would almost perfectly illustrate the point of activists if they just didn't do something incredibly illegal, naive, or debatable on top of the solid contributions. Then, we have to wonder why whatever happened to them really happened. Would the connection still be there if they just did the one or two good things? Can't prove it to skeptics.

I always encourage those in the future resisting police states to make sure whatever they do is beyond doubt A Good Thing. Even Constitutionalists on pro-surveillance side should pause to reconsider their views. They won't if they think person got canned for being a traitor or running financial schemes. (sighs)
I thought of this idea recently. Something to connect voters with people living in swing states. So that they could use the address of those people to go vote. For instance PA is very close to NY and Nevada is very close to CA, and so on. So people could vote in near by states where their vote would make a difference once they got the address of someone in a swing state. Because you can't register to vote using a po box or private mail box.

I believe the canonically correct approach is to ensure up-front that your needs are covered rather than assuming your current convenient and non-guaranteed environment will persist. If you can't afford this, then you couldn't really afford the home you thought you could barely afford. I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, I understand how important homeownership is to so many people.

Certainly imposing on everyone else by forcing them to cover the costs of your personal needs is somewhat sub-optimal.
Because it doesn't matter when you hold it in your hand. (At least 1-2 mm doesn't, for me.)
I'm not saying they made the right decision. I'm saying that people treating this as if it were an easy place to be are likely over simplifying the situation.

I spent a few months early this year reading about all the memory technique books I could find and pretty much all the top specialists admit they don't have photographic memory and that they don't believe in it.

The biggest problem I had was trying to get techniques designed for remembering decks of cards, or the order of royalty or names and occupations in a crowd to be relevant to my work(improving my retention of APIs/classes/etc across a variety of languages and frameworks). I didn't succeed but I honestly didn't put much work into it so that was almost certainly my own fault.
I think right now using the notifications screen for this 'at a glance' info and using the home screen for launching full apps, accomplishes the goal you are seeking.

> something that is endemically not being solved.

It is "not being solved" in a system that bears little resemblance to a free market. Housing and cities are one of the most tightly regulated markets in the US. The level of detail that most zoning codes go into in the US is mind boggling.

For instance, with regard to parking minimums, here in Bend, we have this (which was probably cut and pasted from some other town):

> "Beauty parlor and Barber shop: 3 spaces for each of the first 2 beauty or barber chairs, and 1½ spaces for each additional chair"

That is most emphatically not what I would call a 'free market', but rather detailed and specific government regulation.

I'm not a libertarian and I do not think markets solve all the world's problems - far from it. However it is undeniable when you start looking into the details, that these markets are very, very far from "free markets".
Can we change the headline to something less clickbaity? "Kerbal Space Program: There's no easy way to say this" etc...

It's not publicly available, but it was an internal AWS talk and very-deep-dive on the design & implementation of S3. A real eye opener for what it meant to build at global scale.

> Yes, it does, where the guarantee exists

That isn't quite the same thing. That says that an error is returned only because it is required to conform to the io.Writer interface. Without that requirement, it wouldn't return error in the first place. It tells the reader that they should not be confused as to why writing to a buffer might return an error, when such an operation should fundamentally not return an error.

These other functions in question have very good reasons to return an error: Invalid input.

> Looking at the implementation is no guarantee that the implementation won't be changed in future.

The Go compatibility promise says that the behaviour won't change, except under exceptional circumstances – like a security flaw that cannot be fixed using the original behaviour. It is highly unlikely that is an issue for those particular functions.

But, if you still think it is important, what do you plan to do with an error that might just randomly appear in the future anyway?
OSRM is wonderful.

maerF0x0's comment includes allowing secondary suites, a practice which was once more common (think Fonzie living over the Cunningham's garage or Tim O'Hara and his 'Uncle' Martin in Lorelei Brown's garage apartment), but which, quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_suite#Legal_consider... :

> In many North American municipalities, secondary suites are illegal because they do not conform to the zoning or land use district the property is in, they have been developed without the proper permits, or they do not meet the local building code. However, some localities only prohibit the renting out of secondary suites, and allow occupation by a relative or guest, leading to the use of the term "mother-in-law" house or apartment. Local jurisdictions may have rules regarding allowing certain relatives to live there and rules about what, if any, rent may be charged.

and from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_apartment :

> The idea of integrating garage apartments into urban planning is a key aspect of new urbanism, although many jurisdictions in the U.S. prohibit new construction of or occupancy of ADUs except for relatives.

These, obviously, are not favelas.
Do you remember the Duke controller on the original Xbox? It was usable but not comfortable, and a year or two after the console's release the market pressed for smaller controls. Microsoft started shipping the model sold in Japan.

I feel the same way about phones. 5"+ is usable, but only with an uncomfortable degree of strain in my hands. I honestly don't see why the "bigger is better" mindset rules the market. I just see that every decent handset out there is a usability compromise.

Thank you for pointing out the S7, though. It's only slightly larger than my current phone, and it would be near the top of my list if I were to go out and buy a new one tomorrow.

There have been many attempts to find a political basis for US coalition invasion of Syria.

By who? I mean, I guess there are probably people in the US government who think it is a great idea - but there were people who thought it was a great idea to invade Iran.

I think this thread is a sensible read of the situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/syriancivilwar/comments/55vn65/gene...

sort of: Julia is JITted, so there can be some overhead, and if you're not careful about how you program, the overhead can be high (and it's not hard to be careful), but the cost of this overhead diminishes as you run over increasing amounts of data. Also some things like Julia's text IO are super slow because of the architecture of how functions like print() work (I think this is a work in progress) so logging may incur a cost.

Don't get me wrong, I love Julia and actually get paid to code in Julia, and it's a real joy of a programming language to work in (I'd put it close to ruby in terms of programmer satisfaction)... Just think that overblowing speed claims is counterproductive.
