Yes, I know this is part of the motivation, though I'm not aware how much other factors were involved. Don't want to sound like I know more than I do...

Its usefulness can be debated, since ROP and other techniques are powerful enough for a motivated attacker to go a long way without actually executing code, but it's not fundamentally invalid as an exploit mitigation technique. In fact, PaX implements something similar:

Of course, Apple evidently thinks the speed benefits of JIT are important enough for Safari to be worth letting the browser process not just remap RW to RX but actually map RWX pages - despite the browser process probably being the biggest target of all for exploits. I personally think iOS should allow apps to opt in to doing the same, but that's just my opinion.

I agree that a system that only has electronic records is very problematic. However, a system that includes a physical component (such as a paper ballot receipt) can be used as part of an electronic system to permit something that's auditable and verifiable.

Bullshit. The 90's were much greater. People had money to spend their way into economic growth that was measureable at the street level. And "asset based recovery" was a term yet to be coined.
I see where he's coming from though. It is hypocritical that Google cares so much about Microsoft's customers and then craps on their own user-base so regularly. Case in point: Google released the app launcher for Linux, waited for adoption to take place (so that devs and users had apps made, tested, installed, and in-use) and then they canned the whole thing because it was taking market share away from Chromium. Then, they canned Chromium OS!

If I were Microsoft I'd tell them to mind their own damn business as well. It's obvious anyway that the only thing Google cares about in this instance is making themselves look good at the expense of Microsoft.

>Quite a bit of software is to be developed to match digital identities with the actual voter file with high confidence. The key unit of the campaign is a "voter", and each and every record is viewable and updatable by volunteers in search of more accurate information.

Worst case scenario, use ghost recording:

>In the case where we can't identify the specific human, we can still have a partial digital voter id, for a person or "probable-person" with attributes that we can identify and use to target. As they respond we can eventually match to a registered voter in the main file. This digital key is eventually matched to a real person.

This is basically the thesis of Hans Rosling's 2006 Ted talk* . Things, on average are better.

What bothers me about this way of measuring progress is that for some, e.g. drug addicted or abusive families, people living in war torn regions, things are not better. For some, things are bad and have been for generations.

For this reason I try to refrain from "things are better" rhetoric, because it feels cruel to those people. Like I'm saying "I know it's bad for you, but I don't really care because it's better for many".

And personally I think from a moral standpoint we have the same responsibility to lift up the bottom as we do to lift the average. The trouble is people at the bottom are often at the intersection of multiple intergenerational disadvantages, which makes helping extremely difficult.

It's exactly this reason that I think it's so important not to say "things are better" without qualifications. If we can't help these people, the least we can do is acknowledge their situation.

1) Anthropogenic CO2 emission rates in 1990 were greater than natural sinks could offset.

2) Under any reasonable set of assumptions, rooftop solar PV has significantly lower emissions per kWh than the cleanest fossil sources. In 2014 the IPCC estimated a median value of 41 gCO2-e/kWh for rooftop PV generation vs. 490 for combined cycle natural gas generation.

3) Perhaps some of the CO2 avoidance will be squandered eventually as solar becomes cheaper, thereby encouraging use of more electricity, but so far total electricity use is uncorrelated or even anti-correlated with the presence of rooftop solar generation. "Rooftop solar" and "energy-thrifty building construction/operation" cluster together, so far, rather than displacing each other.

> POSIX was designed to be used on systems with comparable resources to what many embedded processors now have.

But not comparable environments. Most IOT environments are very small parts of very big systems, and POSIX defines a system with a teletype and a line editor.

I seriously doubt the value of the existing codebase. Saying code made for a server (like most existing unix code!) is fine for IOT feels wrong, and not just because IOT devices have kilobytes of memory and servers can have gigabytes/terabytes.

I don't think that a universal OS can work well when we know that universal programming languages, data transfer protocols, and everything else didn't. Imagine if we were still doing everything in PL/I. We recognize now that different programming tasks need different programming environments, but we still don't think that different programs need different program environments. It's just strange to me.

Trump is a salesman. He's pretty successfully selling the idea that America used to be great and that he's just what you need to make it great again.

Regardless of whether it's wrong or not, it certainly doesn't have to be true for it to sell. Americans especially seem to love buying hot air.

Now, to address your point, ask yourself if the same class of people you claim Obama is ignoring would have been better off 50 or 100 years ago.

It's probably been offered to the military, but it looks kind of delicate so they likely turned it down. Besides that, I can't actually see anything viable for something like this; it's possible it wobbles slightly (since it's on cables), which would detract from the realism. (I've no idea if it does.)

Monetary damages can be in the amount of the infringer's profits arising from the infringement.

[The following is copied and pasted from a Common Draft annotation:]

Consider the case of Frank Music Corp. v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc., 886 F.2d 1545 (9th Cir. 1989) (Frank Music II): [1]

+ The MGM Grand Hotel had a floor show called Hallelujah Hollywood!, which included ‘tributes' to various MGM movies.

+ The floor show incorporated significant portions of the musical Kismet, which had been made into an MGM movie.

+ The court found that this went beyond MGM's ‘movie rights' and therefore infringed the copyright in the musical.

+ The resulting damage award included not just a portion of profits from the floor show itself, but 2% of the overall profits from the MGM Grand's hotel operations — including 2% of the casino profits — which, the court found, were indirectly attributable to the promotional value of the infringing floor show.

> liberal elite are ignoring the plight of so many Americans

Which is a ridiculous and bizarre premise.

Because up until Trump it was the conservative elite who were most in favour of free markets/trade/regulations etc that have been allegedly responsible for a collapse in blue collar jobs.

Anyway the problem isn't the ignoring of the masses. It's that there has been a failure to communicate in a way they can understand. Free trade isn't responsible for the loss of their jobs and globalisation was always going to happen. The issue is that rather than help them transition to 'jobs of the future' politicians took the easy road and blamed foreigners.

> With every household replacing their car every five years or so (total guess)

I think the issue is here. Yes, most households don't hold onto a car for longer than 5 years, but not all households upgrade to a brand new car every time. (Heck, I've never owned a brand new vehicle ever.) So one new car sale could result in 2-3 households upgrading their vehicle, as cars are passed down the line.
I think that in a highly skilled workplace, the hierarchical aspect of management accounts for a relatively small fraction of what managers do. For the most part, I treat managers like any other workers. I'm not afraid to have substantive discussions with them, or to delegate tasks to them.

For roughly a year, I actually outranked my boss. I did the engineering, and he dealt with schedules, priorities, communicating upward, etc. It was a great relationship, because we both had jobs to do, and we did them.

In the 21st century, we're getting beyond the point where the hierarchy of authority is accompanied by a hierarchy of knowledge or expertise. In the 19th century business of my imagination, the head clerk knew more about clerking than the junior clerk. A manager was expected to know more about management and business.

Today, people change jobs and fields throughout their careers. It's not unusual for a manager to have subordinates who have been managers themselves, or who have even run entire businesses. People know more about the behavior of the businesses that they work for, than they can learn from management pronouncements, because we can read about the behavior of similar businesses. Managers have diverse staffs. I don't expect my boss to be knowledgeable about my field, because he's a chemist and I'm a physicist.

Regarding the Thiel speech you linked and Trump in general, those are absolutely real and troubling issues for our country. Donald Trump does not offer realistic solutions to any of them. The only thing on the Trump platform remotely resembling a plan is making all health care insurance providers compete with each other nationally. Or as Trump says, "I'm going to remove all the lines, it'll be fantastic."

Thiel's reason of "Trump is an outsider" is not enough for me.

On the other hand, something must be done to push back against those opposite sentiments that, “the whole world is on fire”, “everything is getting worse” or “the world has never been more violent”, all of which are notions that are spread in media and on social media.
I strongly recommend you read the article linked here, as it explains the false equivalency of the bill. Net-metered solar reduces peak usage, reducing costs for utilities. The article has no less than 9 citations proving the point - your bill should go down as people transition to on-site solar.

This bill is about entrenched utilities not wanting to compete - not about solar subsidies.

Also, I believe this reasonable confusion answers @dragthor's question... :-)

Spoken like someone who lives in a different country and is unfamiliar with the nuances of current American political sentiment, which is the reason why Trump's pitch is resonating with just about half of the USA.

Trump connects with Americans on many issues that either affect regular people or make them feel disempowered...loss of jobs, national debt, corruption in Washington, illegal immigration, excessive warfare in foreign lands...it's a little silly to say he's totally full of hot air.

There needs to be a website that says who is backing an amendment, really.
Additionally, the website should explain the issues of it and why each side is proposing it.

I agree with the power companies in that the payment of the grid switch is $15,000 and should be borne by the homeowner. If you are forcing your neighbor to subsidize your solar power installation and subsequent reduction in costs through higher costs for those without solar, when the power company installs the switch on everyone's house they will be bankrupt. Yes, it would be nice if the solar power could be reduced in cost, but forcing others to bear the burden does not seem fair, especially if you are unable to make the initial investment for solar.
Your claim of "nearly 50% of the population" support him needs a source. I put his support at closer to 40% than 50%.
I think it's because professionals need consistency and reliability in their products. They invest a lot in their ecosystem and repurchasing new adapters and peripherals now have to get tested and purchased in addition to new hardware. If something breaks or you need to grow your business, it's nice to buy something identical or mostly the same (but beefier).

To me this felt like too much, too quick. Each time Apple changed the MBP I cringe a little wondering if it's personally a net win or a net loss; non-removable battery (when each of the laptops had batteries die prematurely after 1 or 2 years), ditching ethernet, ditching the CDROM, non-upgradable RAM and HDD, dropping video connector of the week. Those all mostly happened one or two at a time over the years. Personally, I still have a 6yo MBP before most of that happened. These new changes make it a much harder pill to swallow and make me want to look at other options more closely.

The MBP line was long in the tooth before this. Everyone was expecting a spec bump last year, then in spring, and now we finally get it. Dropping all of the connectors and charging ports without even allowing for a significant boost in specs hit some people hard.
I'm not saying that this is good or that nothing could go wrong. I'm just saying that I'm not surprised at all that stuff like this gets proposed. I expect both campaigns talked to marketing people, and I expect some of those marketing people just went with what they know, multiplied by the resources of a presidential campaign.

Now information on how far they went and got with it, if there were at least some moral objections, and on the legalities of the thing, that would be interesting.
