Yes. Remember that a lawyer only represents his client. The missing child is not his client. His client is the person on the street. That said, every interaction with police increasing your risk. If your only interest is in your own legal wellbeing, don't talk.

In the cases of things like missing kids, there are normally anonymous tip lines for missing children. Beware the situation where there is no tip line. Cops are not above claiming to be searching for a lost kid when in reality they are looking for people who were on the street at a particular time. "I didn't see her" is an admission that you were there, which may result in a not-good interrogation as to some other things that happened. You may now be on their list of suspects for whatever they are actually investigating.
Thank you for writing this (and your last comment) out explicitly. The quantum mechanics description confused me (and possibly other from reading the thread here). Although I can understand how that inspired this work in the first place.

The algorithm used is exactly what you described here. It wasn't obvious to me that probability density functions were not tracked (the algorithm only tracks which NxN patch are allowed at each location) and randomness only come into play when a random valid choice is made, and there each valid patch is chosen probability proportional to its number of occurrence in the input.

I've read the article 3x now trying to find this statement.

I can find stuff like he'd "work only for causes he believed in". I can find where he says "All humans are equal", but that hardly means what you make it out to mean (hell, the US Declaration of Independence says that; doesn't mean the US issues visas to ISIS).

The need for fake documents to escape violence hardly ended with WWII. I owe my existence to a Soviet customs agent who accepted a bribe to seal my grandfather into a Czech cargo train.

>> The third and most sensitive programme described by Wells was the production of fake al Qaeda propaganda films. He told the Bureau how the videos were made. He was given precise instructions: “We need to make this style of video and we’ve got to use al Qaeda’s footage,” he was told. “We need it to be 10 minutes long, and it needs to be in this file format, and we need to encode it in this manner.”

US marines would take the CDs on patrol and drop them in the chaos when they raided targets. Wells said: “If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.”

The CDs were set up to use Real Player, a popular media streaming application which connects to the internet to run. Wells explained how the team embedded a code into the CDs which linked to a Google Analytics account, giving a list of IP addresses where the CDs had been played.

Common use cases require multiple steps because that's how it's meant to be. Staging (adding), committing, and pushing are three fundamental operations of Git that, when combined in different ways, produce many use cases. Personally, I would rather have these operations exposed to me rather than having to memorize (or worse, have to search up) a different command every time for each use case.
Good point. Email is great when you are part of the conversation and it's in your history. Maybe not so much for digging around later on otherwise.

As I've written elsewhere [1], the NC variant (in particular) of CC is just a bad idea. There have been attempts to better define NC going back at least a decade and I don't think it can really be done. There are aspects of commerce in just about all but the most trivial cases. Even defining in terms of "non-profits" in US tax code doesn't really help. A lot of people intending their work to be used non-commercially probably wouldn't be OK with the NRA using it for the cover of their magazine.

It's also a non-free license per common definitions of the term although that's a philosophical point rather than a practical one. But it's probably worth observing that no significant open source software license has this sort of restriction.

6 Cars That Have Too Much Horsepower
I work with a whole bunch of scientists that program. Some mathematicians, some theoretical physicists. We run into git issues more often than we should.

It's lazy to blame git issues on intellectual laziness. Any human designed system can be learned with enough effort but in git there seems to be significant superfluous effort. Effort that probably makes sense for some use-cases that git was developed for, but as it has become ubiquitous and now we all have to live with it, programmers or not.

In my view, git has too much state. The state of my directory, the state of my branch, the staging area, the stash, etc.. these all interact in non-trivial ways when merging/branching. Gitless shows that it can be done with less state.

And the design of the interface _is_ atrocious:

More accurate to call it a git client rather than a version control system. It is git.

Then, many clients have tried to hide git complexity under some friendly UI. They might be productive in some cases (e.g: to manage your stage area), but for others at some moment they will end up confused and not knowing what to do.

not sure that the argument that iOS is a luxury brand holds up in most european countries where you can just as well get an iOS or Android device with the same subsidization from the carrier (especially since Apple does not only sell its last generation high end devices).

There are still a couple of european countries where iOS devices sell extremely poorly. I am not sure if this is because of an absence of subsidies or another reason.

Even if Android is the only option, you can always choose to refuse all data sharing from google, you are not forced to create a google account or to use google play.

Is FedEx advertising to school with an offer to distribute Great Minds works, or are they doing a general offer of printing/delivering and it is the schools that request that specifically Great Minds works should be copied and distributed to them.

As normally with copyright cases, intentions are important. If FedEx is intentionally using BY-NC-SA 4.0 work as a part of their commercial venture, then the case should be ruled against them. If the schools are using a commercial venture in their usage of a BY-NC-SA 4.0 work, then the commercial venture is a third-party and the suit should not hold any water unless the school and third-party is operating as a single entity (ie, a conspiracy, which in this case would be rather far fetched).

> But without any explanation for why.

You need to add hooks to inject a Change-Id into every commit, and be careful that they're still "fresh" (e.g. you cannot reuse one from an abandoned branch if you want to re-submit it).

And you must push a diff to the server so it can be submitted to Gerrit. If your feature branch is up-to-date (you just force-pushed it), you cannot submit the same commit to Gerrit.

And it gets worse when you have developers who rely on an IDE to get work done – the IntelliJ plugin for Gerrit is pretty buggy (I think it's okay for submitting now, but reviewing was still frustrating last month).

Passports and citizenship in many ways are the most unfair thing in the world as your place of birth influences what you can do in life.

For many of us the idea of having a bad passport is only theoretical in nature but it decides many things in life for others and sets stupid arbitrary ceilings that should not exist.

I use git all the time and prefer it for all types of workflow as a VCS, but this idea that git is perfect and it's your own fault for not learning it properly is ridiculous.

UX/UI in programs is important. I believe that git has one of the worst, most inconsistent UX's of all time. You can see this by the fractured commands.

Quick examples:

'git reset' vs. 'git revert' and sometime 'git checkout'

'git checkout' vs. 'git clone' vs. 'git pull' vs. 'git fetch' vs. 'git cherrypick'

'git rebase' vs. 'git merge' vs. 'git merge --squash'

Each one of these performs actions on a repo giving you immense power and control to do specific actions, but it's horrible UX. It's very easy to end up in a detached HEAD state, or have accidentally rebased a repo so it's out of alignment with a remote, leaving you with the trouble of dealing with that. It's crap experience, and all I want to do is code. What does it say when resolving these problems the easiest thing is to just reclone the remote repo?

I commend this project for trying to apply some sanity to the entire thing.
"Not yet available in your country". (Although there's a "waitlist" button now which I don't remember from when this first appeared, so thanks for getting me to take another look).

Problems with Mars
When I lived in the UK I had a friend with mental issues and as a result he would come into police contact on a regular basis.

Most often than not he would be making some sort of claim that obviously wasn't true and the police would want to talk to someone more responsible just to confirm that this was a 'mental health issue' so they could walk away without fear of any comeback.

As a friend I was happy to take this role even though it could get embarrassing. On one occasion the officer concerned actually seemed to be concerned about my friends welfare. In most of the other instances (at least half a dozen times) all they wanted was an excuse to get the hell away.

A couple of times it was more sinister though and I got the feeling that the police were hinting that I was guilty of something. My friend has confirmed to me that on some occasions they would try to put words in his mouth. He acts like an idiot sometimes but he's no fool either.

As a consequence I have told my friend that if he gets into trouble with the police again he can't ask me to speak on his behalf. I worry what will become of him but I just don't have faith in the police anymore.

So, OK your examples are extreme, but I would be wary of talking to the police in any situation again.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the rise of relatively cheap global travel and strong disparity in the median wealth of different nations. 100+ years ago could you travel from a poor country to a wealthy country with relative ease and expect to raise your own standard of living? Either the journey was expensive and arduous, or the situation in places you could travel to was not likely to be a massive improvement on your own. There are very strong exceptions of course; Irish people leaving the famine come to mind, but it pretty much came to people dying to push them to make the trip.

Also, 100+ years ago an immigrant was less likely to be viewed as a burden, because there were fewer (if any) government supports for regular citizens. I'm pretty left politically, but I acknowledge that the more government spends on its people the less likely the government (and the voters) are to be inclined to let newcomers in who are not immediate contributors.

How would this data be held and who would see it or have access to it? The privacy implications would be enormous.

Ironically, many European countries already issue biometric passports that require you to provide your fingerprints before the passport is issued.

But maybe it doesn't really matter - you already provide so much of your personal details when you travel to another country.

Another issue, I suppose, is that if you've built yourself a population-stable enclave where the prevailing values match those you think are best, you will be understandably hesitant at permitting large influxes of people with different value systems.

For instance, say you've built a society that is ecologically sustainable and the birth rate is equal to the maintenance rate. Will you be pleased when the nation next door where people have far more children despite knowing the Earth is well over carrying capacity sends you its people during famine?
