I wrote above about the myths (as in folklore, ancestor wisdom, not "myth" to mean something is superstitious to be dismissed with prejudice) on role reversals. So I get it. Setting up trust funds and other legal instruments is sensible, and it is what I'm planning with my children.

On the flip side, I grew up in a Taiwanese household in America.

Culturally, such a thing is not considered a burden, and is part of the continuity of lineage.

What's fascinating for me is that:

(1) There is an assumed incompetency for the elderly

(2) Deeper still, seems to me a lot of people in America has trouble with death and dying.

Several years ago, my father died of lung cancer. I only got to visit him once, for a week. We arranged for a limited power of attorney to try to get the finances in shape, but I wasn't able to accomplish everything he wished for me. He wanted to make sure I had a legacy from him. I wasn't able to visit him one more time to tell him what his real legacy he left behind was.

My sister is an MD, and arranged for an in-home care. She financially took care of my parents even before my dad died -- bought a car for him to drive, bought a fridge for my mom to replace that crusty old thing, paying gas bill because my mother insists on keeping the house at 50F to save on money.

I don't think either my sister or I consider that heroic. It's just the thing to do.
> I am a non-citizen, and I have been selected for jury duty. I have obviously declined it.

Based on researching my prior response, Federal courts use voter registration. Some states may use drivers license lists. However, Virginia seems to use voter registration.

There's actually a good chance that you are registered to vote. With the Motor Voter law that has been in place since the 1990s, nearly everyone who has received a drivers license has also been registered to vote. Even in cases where people mark they are not citizens, the systems are screwing up and registering them.

What basis do you have for saying that it's more likely that people have become citizens between being selected for jury duty and going on to vote? Given that 50% of the non-citizen residents are here unlawfully, it seems improbable that there is any majority that have become citizens. I'd just repeat the inquiry as to whether you have any research that follows up on your hypothesis.

With the lack of any publicly available evidence, I guess the reasoning behind it largely comes down to trust. You either trust the government on this or you don't. On this issue, I do, but again, I wouldn't fault you for disagreeing. If I had to elaborate, I'd say:

The cost of being caught in a lie is sufficiently damaging to the organization that makes the claim. What benefit do they gain by making such a claim? does the risk of getting caught in a lie outweigh the benefit? I just don't see the lie as being a risk worth taking.

There have been many times in the past where 'blaming it on Russia' could have been politically convenient. If you do it too often, you become the boy-who-cries-wolf. Would the risk of reputation loss outweigh the benefits gained by telling the lie? again, I don't see the lie as being worth the risk.
Well another thing to keep in mind with this one in particular is that there is no way to mitigate it. grsecurity can't help with this kind of bug, nothing can so it may not just be about reliability of this exploit but the fact that there's no mitigation other than to update.
I thought of doing this but my bottleneck is scraping the images since I don't have terrabtytes of bandwidth and imgur would likely rate limit me. But given the data set my plan is/was to extract tags by mapping images to the sub Reddit they're posted in then categorize based on that
I think team chemistry and emoloyee buyin is severely underrated. Large salaries being thrown around silicon valley when the hires themselves dint believe in the product but just the money, resulting in a team that just 'dayjobs' whatever they are working on instead of being passionate sbout the company's products and values.
SAFEcode and Softbound+CETS would be ideal, but seem to have a few problems in practice. First, the resulting executables are apparently quite slow. Like several times slower that executables compiled normally. The sanitizers are much faster, but even so the "address sanitizer" alone has a 2x performance cost. The other problem with SAFEcode and Softbound+CETS is that they don't always work. The TOR project tried to build firefox using them, but they couldn't successfully build it [1].

Perhaps nobody cared to address the C/C++ (memory) safety problems when the solutions required significant compromise. But the santizers are now (or could be with a little effort) a much more practical "no code modification required" solution than the previous options. And I think SaferCPlusPlus is now a more practical "some code modification required" solution than previous alternatives.

Maybe these new and improved choices will make a difference. We can dream, can't we? :)

8 Reasons Why Your Business Absolutely Needs SEO
FWIW, games like Black Ops 3 technically have LMP, but it's a subpar experience compared to prior generations (particularly limiting in features/settings, like being able to choose basic things like vertical/horizontal screen splitting). Often, the feature's riddled with bugs and other glaring flaws that make it a notably worse experience than forming online parties on two consoles, on two TVs, even when you're sitting next to each other on the same couch.
You may want to expose some fields that you don't allow changing, such as what account owns the resource. When fields are writable by default, it is easy for someone to miss that they've made a field writable when they just meant to expose it for reading.
It definitely can, but I feel that if I make it easy to automatically handle email on my old address at my new address, I'll get lazy about actually changing it. So I'll wait a bit to do that until most of my email is properly changed over.
Your link describes the arabs bringing it to Sicily somewhere around 8th/9th century. So? Do we know they didn't get it from China? Of course Italian pasta is unique, it has had ample time to develop its own culture around it, but I've never seen evidence that the initial idea was born in Italy. It would be a bit like the Japanese claiming they invented Tofu. Well, no, but does it matter?
Beyond the PCI compliance issue, this would've been a solid idea.

I don't think there's anything wrong with piggybacking - it's shrewd if anything - though this time you definitely got bested by the venture funding. One idea closer to a winner.

How about "we'll review your request for $20". For recovery of email accounts and such Google could absolutely make a profit from that I feel and enable people to recover their accounts; they can surely scale a support system on that sort of funding.

Sure I can see problems with that. My initial feeling is people will thing that such support is a scam, but that at least shifts the position of Google from "we can do such support" to "we don't want people bad mouthing us so we're going to refuse to do that support even if it were prima facie profitable".
Wrong.

There is no such thing, but the standard dictates that all payment pages have to be served from a PCI DSS compliant environment. Stripe is in a very grey area, because they don't even have their merchants use iframes. Tampering with the script that (according to Stripe) makes the merchant compliant, and not being certified doing so, is a big no-no.
I don't think it's a question of collecting user metadata or not. Here it really depends on "are the credit card details touching any non-PCI-compliant code?"

Section 6.3.2 requires you to verify any "custom" code released to a customer that handles credit card information.[1] The way I see it, since your code touches that information, you must be PCI DSS compliant or you're breaking the chain of trust.

(This is my opinion, which should be taken with a grain of salt.)
There's a difference between "no evidence exists" and "evidence exists, but we haven't disclosed it".

Perhaps my original comment was unclear, but I believe the statements made in the article imply the latter.
Your comment is being downvoted because DRF clearly does a whole lot more than just serialising the response dictionary or adding pagination, you should really have a look at the documentation.

However, I still think that Django should have something like the "JSONResponse mixin example"[1] built-in by default; sometimes you are building a product which is not an API but you still need the occasional RESTful endpoint and, in those cases, something like DRF would be overkill.

Search seems adequate for my needs. And it works great with any IMAP email client.

Actually the strangest thing I find amazing, is FastMail's endless scrolling being basically magical. I can scroll through over 2500 messages in a folder of mine, top to bottom, instantly. It's not paginating, it's not locking up at the bottom of the first 100 to stop and load more. It :just works: in their UI.
It's hard to imagine that you didn't once consider this outcome? At Control (the Android/iOS/Web app for Stripe) we knew Stripe was making an iOS app and we continued to make ours anyway, because we knew we were able to offer a different featureset. If Stripe is integrating such a system, then that helps validate your business model.

Since we built on top of Stripe, we kept an open dialogue with them so we wouldn't be caught by surprise like this. I think it's really important to have an ongoing conversation with all of your most important vendors to be aware of their roadmap, especially startups because things change so quickly.

There are multiple companies who have written an API similar to Stripe's, have you considered applying your API to Braintree, Alipay, or any of the other many worldwide processors? If you really have a working anti-fraud product, the worst you could do is sell it. Don't just throw it in the trash.
Another similar rational but liberal approach would be "I want my non-homeowning friends and co-workers to continue to be able to afford the Bay Area, rather than get priced out over time."

As a young SF homeowner, that's more important to my quality of life than the price of my home going up.

I'll assume this is true (not my area!):

1. Just because one guy is an idiot does not mean the other should be.

2. You know, you may want to tell people and establish a process for telling people that this is happening (ie it should not take until person files github issue asking what's up when they validate their app to know what's going to be okay and not)

Not quite entirely. A public entity could just buy up surrounding land outright and then lease it out to private operators, capturing value in the rents.

It's only illegal to do it the reasonable way that makes sense.
Unfortunately this wouldn't really work. If you're selling insurance, you're going to have a strong incentive to play it safe. If you run a business, you're going to be furious if legitimate customers are rejected (which is unavoidable at some level, but no matter what level that is you're going to make the business furious when they discover a legitimate charge being rejected).

The article isn't talking about tracing traffic through Russia or any of that, so I don't understand how your comment is at all appropriate. The article is talking about how a bunch of attacks against people can all be traced back to the same group Fancy Bear (which is claimed to be a group of Russian hackers) because they all used a single bit.ly account to craft the short URLs that were used in the phishing emails. This account was found by tracking down Fancy Bear's command and control domains (so it was already known to belong to Fancy Bear before they connected it to John Podesta).

So are you saying that Fancy Bear isn't actually Russian hackers? Or are you saying you think the article is lying about the fairly strong evidence tying all these attacks together?
from what you've just stated it's fine. What I meant is that there are people who believe you could levitate objects with your mind (like in the xmen comic books) and since you're writing about things that are already really, really outlandish it's SUPER-important not to fall into a comic-book style of narration!! :) If you thought you (or anyone) could actually levitate objects with your mind (and no technology) then it would make everything that you wrote about what you've just shared with us really suspect.

if you write it the way you've just written it, that won't be an issue. Just be clear that what you've shared with us just now already sounds like a comic book!! :) I mean, you've literally written that there are people who ask people to kill someone and get body parts, as part of voodoo. There are people walking around naked after being given drugs. The last thing that is needed is for the narrator to themselves also be suspect, for example by reporting that someone shows him how to levitate objects with his mind (no tricks and technology), and that it works.

So I really look forward to reading more whenever you write it up. What you've written so far is already comic-book style! But I hope you won't embellish and will stick to the facts. :)

Sure. The way it works is if a part is already in our library it's free and you can download unlimited models. If not you can get it in 24h with InstaPart, and then that model is included for everyone in the free library.

You are correct that we have heard from customers who subscribe that they want more than 5 (right now they don't accrue because it's an add on to the other features). We are considering making these special requests available via a credit system. Would something like that work? Approximately how many do you use per project and what is the complexity of the designs?

I've been using linux since 2001, but I do hop around from OS to OS depending on what's mandated at my current place of employment.

If you just focus on the LXSS, windows 10 isn't bad[0]. It's still effectively beta, so there are things it can't do, like list running windows processes and kill them from the command line or launching a windows app[1].

Development is identical between my ubuntu machine and my windows machine. I use ack, vim and other command line tools as my IDE and I haven't noticed much difference between the systems. I do occasionally run into an issue with live code reloading systems (like middleman-livereload). It looks for a valid ip address to use instead of just using 127.0.0.1, but the networking subsystem hasn't been exposed to LXSS yet, so it errors out. webpack-livereload works fine though as does apache and mysql.

[0]: there are many, many other complaints I have about the OS. I use it right now because of the better driver support and video games.

I believe this is actually a possibility now.

So when I was back in high school I was playing around with one of the Kai art programs (I forget which one actually) that let you generate different patterns. I couldn't explain why but the patterns that were kind of regular-ish and curvy/abstract (anything that looked like cells under a microscope or those with a honeycomb-like structure) made me deeply, anxiously, almost panic-attack level uncomfortable. This startled me when it happened the first time. There was nothing at all I could logically connect it to.

The best way I can describe it is that I get that deep stomach-fluttery feeling that comes with being really nervous and apprehensive, but without any of the emotional content of anxiety at all.

I forgot about that experience for a long time, until the first Google 'Deep Dream' images were released. Turns out that the Internet has given this a name - trypophobia (fear of holes). The regular, not-quite-identifiable quality to the images is what seems to do it to me.

Even now, my stomach is fluttering like I'm about to go on a scary roller coaster. Again though, this comes with no emotional panic. I'm not upset by it, it isn't self-reinforcing like anxiety is. It's just a really odd feeling. A very strong 'get away from this' feeling.

I've read the hypothesis that this comes from an instinct to avoid danger, such as beehives and poisonous creatures and that makes a lot of sense (not totally sure from memory though so I might be getting it wrong; I need to find the study I'm thinking of).

So I don't doubt that at least for some people it's possible to synthesize images that provoke a strong physiological response that could make them flee.
Out of curiosity, if this is done with the consent of the person whose account you're hacking (as in this example), is it illegal (considering that the corporation is also a party here)? More generally, in what circumstances can you lie on the phone about your identity without committing a crime?
You're basically asking for a recipy on how to make Jiro's sushi. It doesn't really help, you can get all those amounts and timings just right, but the actual value is in the muscle memory and applied knowledge of the people who've trained close to teo decades in going through the motions and perfecting their craft. In doing so they adjust for all kinds of environmental influences through their training. I think we're closer to having a conscious AI than to have robots with the ability of human hands.
Is there a list somewhere of all "known" APT's, i.e. which number is suspected to be who? And is the "APT numbering" something internal to the NSA or is it by now a sort of an informal standard? And are there reports of how the Russians and the Chinese 'label' Western groups?
