Depends on your jurisdiction, if you see stolen property that you can prove ownership of (bike, computer, etc) and you recover it off someone else's property without breaking and entering in Washington State, your legally in the clear.

The court system can't effectively handle the case load that every stolen piece of property would put on it, hence why most jurisdictions are reasonable about property recovery.

It's fairly easy to get C performance (and even beat it in concurrent code) for the same amount of effort on the JVM.

Ha.

That's what we were promised back in the mid-1990s. It's no more true today than it was then. Well written Java will always be about 2-4x slower than similar C code.

JVM applications have many compensating advantages, including the aforementioned ease of exploiting concurrency. That doesn't erase the reality of single thread performance where Java has never, in twenty years of strong expert effort, caught up.

Let's say you give your neighbour the keys to your front door so they can water your flowers when you're gone, and let you in if you forget your own keys.

You then borrow a bunch of books from your neighbour and fail to return them when you said you would. While you're away, and without asking for permission, the neighbour enters your home and retrieves the books.

Was your neighbour trespassing? If not, why not?

China and NK consider themselves allies, as do the US and SK. And China+NK are not allied with US+SK. And that region is unlikely to be affected by any significant non-aligned players.

[It's a bit more complicated than that, of course. And THAAD isn't 100% effective. But the details don't change the overall picture much.]

If a missile is ever stopped by THAAD, it means SK+US didn't want it to land. Which probably means China+NK launched it, and did want it to land. Meanwhile, if SK+US decide to go on the offensive, THAAD won't stop their attack, but will mitigate any retaliation from China+NK.

THAAD is bad for China+NK in both scenarios.

In addition, since THAAD's existence makes it a whole lot less risky for US+SK to go on the offensive -- it makes it more likely that they would do so. And China+NK certainly wouldn't want to defend against a US+SK with THAAD being in place.
Higher districts like states or federal governments, already have the power to create subdistricts with favourable leadership and goals. They're just uninterested in doing so.

In the past, incorperated townships were created for specific goals: we have a coal mine here, create a township around it. Today, that kind of top-down leadership is no longer used so widely.

California could carve out a new township, and use its state budget to incentivize the development of an urban region with cheap housing, high tech jobs, and interesting culture. They do not do so out of choice, not out of inability.

I would work with animals; maybe at a cat shelter, or have a pet "hotel", or maybe a dog daycare or walking service. Animal welfare laws are very strong here and dog owners aren't allowed to leave their dog alone for more than four hours at a time. This means there is a lot of potential business for dog daycare and walking services since not everyone can take their dog to work with them or come home for lunch. But basically anything involving taking care of or helping animals would do.

It's true, dumb is the opposite of smart, but nothing there implies that small town folk are dumb.

Small town folk are of average intelligence, with a lower concentration of significantly smarter people simply due to the fact that high paying jobs are concentrated in urban areas.

If you were to concentrate high paying jobs in small towns, you'd see the reverse happening.

As for being closed minded---I'd find that people from urban areas are more close minded if they happen to live in their enclave without much interaction outside of it. Many people in cities are highly mobile, but many people in cities just treat their neighborhood as a walled garden, and are highly defensive against other types of people.

Interesting. To me, those features are the ones I struggle most with in Lightroom. The workflow per se works great, but that a tool would dictate to me how I organize my pictures (as in: on the file system) is a big nogo. I use LR in a VM (since it doesn't run on Linux) and in such an environment, there's always a shortage of disk space. LR gives me exactly 0 possibilities to work around that - the only option is to create a new DB for each project, which negates all upsides to the system.

Socially, and culturally, the values that Dubai advocates are anathema to the typical American.

More troubling is the fact that the Emirates is operated by a sovereign totalitarian state, and so it is not as simple as two private companies competition with one another. Can the Emirates ever go out of business? Can the US Post Office ever go out of business?

Django for example will throw an error if an ordering parameter does not correspond to a database column.

If you have to specify all the columns of a table in Rails, then ActiveRecord ought to be able to restrict the order params to only column names.
Fascinating. It will be wondrous to see if it occurs.

It also reminds me of a premise in one of my favorite science fiction novels, Diaspora by Greg Egan. In the story, the characters are monitoring the orbit of a binary star system. The orbit is decaying and a collision is expected at some point. However, soon the characters realize that the orbit is decaying far faster than expected. Extrapolating, and discovering new properties of stellar physics, the characters realize that the stars are mysteriously losing angular momentum, which will lead to them spiraling downward into a prompt collision that will produce supernova-scale energies. The binary star is in Earth's neighborhood, so this will put all life on the planet at risk. It will be brighter than the sun in daylight.

There's a great deal more to the plot than that (I don't want to spoil it) -- that's just the event that kicks things off. It's a great book and I'd highly encourage all sci-fi fans to read it. Hopefully nothing like this happens in real life, and we are confident and correct about the amount of energy that will be released :-)

While thinking about these topics, it is difficult not to ponder the frailty of life, and the astonishing vastness and expanse of the cosmos. How easy it would be for a star to snuff out all life on a world.

There is a theoretical ethical/legal view of things - and then there is a real-world practical view. If I was dealing with a company who already have lawyers, then sure, I'd go the "right" way and use the legal system (on the basis the legal system actually works...). But a bad client, who can't even run their small business in a competent manner ... and who can't hire better lawyers than me... the use of brute force (vs the legal way) is sometimes the wiser choice. It is a risk to do such a thing, so you have to know the odds, but it could save you some headache.

The legal system is nothing but a tool and a shit tool at that. People who know how to manipulate it are better off than those who think it is more than just a badly made tool - and the most frequent manipulators of it are the bad actors.

I have realized the IT community is at some disadvantage in some sense, compared to non-IT people, because we have such a implicit faith/trust/belief/respect in rules - we spend all day trying to teach computers to follow rules. The vast majority of humans on the other hand have little respect for abstract rules and will do whatever they want, coming up with justifications and rationalizations after the fact. Outside of IT, you have to realize the only rules you have to follow is 'not get caught'. I'm not saying don't act ethically, I'd encourage it, but a lot of people are not interested in acting ethically at all, especially when it is detrimental to what they want. So you have to learn how to deal with them effectively unless you want to drive yourself crazy.

That's true, but an ORM like ActiveRecord ought to protect you from this because you are required to specify valid column names and table names before using it.

Or it might make no difference whatsoever.

I renewed both my passport and my "origin" ID card ~6 months after they expired, through the consulate (though both my country of origin and my country of residence are in the EU). There was no issue whatsoever renewing them (I did cut it a bit short as I realised my passport was expired 2 weeks before leaving the EU for holidays, but the passport took under a week to renew and reach the consulate).

You don't need to specify what type a function takes in Clojure, which is often nice. If you do though, the compiler can sometimes optimize, and make things much faster. Basically, the compiler does not have to

* look up the type of the thing
* run the action on it

but can instead skip straight to step 2.

If you somewhere in your Clojure program (or repl) run (set! warn-on-reflection true) it will print to the console when you are doing reflection.

I think it's a good idea to put in the beginning of your core namespace - so that it is always on. Why not always wear the seatbelt when driving, you know?
Let's hope so, though I fear this will be a case of "too little, too late" for many small businesses. It's been more than two years now since the new system was introduced, and it seems many micro-businesses have already ceased trading as a result. Slightly larger businesses have probably either taken on significant extra compliance costs or ceased trading with customers elsewhere in the EU. All of that damage has already been done. :-(

Love it.

After playing around with it on desktop, I have some (feature) requests, I hope you don't mind :)

* is it open source? [EDIT: scratch that, found the source: https://github.com/davidgilbertson/know-it-all ]

* full background coloring of pressed buttons, not just edge

* visual cue as to whether a node has children without having to click on expand

* visual cue of completeness of node's children when collapsed. E.g. I know CSS, but not all of its children. When collapsed, it looks "green".

* Total % counters for each category to help with tracking total goal.

* Description, links to MDN / ... right there in the node somewhere (being open source would help with this a lot, through PRs)

Aside from that, I'm not sure about the usefulness of having buttons on non-leaf nodes, anyway... you'd expect that someone who knows of all a node's leaves knows about the node. I know it's not strictly the same, but is the difference important? It would help simplify the model. Then again I guess that's just personal preference.

Also note that this is very close to a learning system called flashcards. If you added automatic decay and quizzing (you can trust the user to be honest) you get a great way to keep knowledge current. That's the semantic problem with this; I know and will forever know about <base>, but I might soon forget a lot of minutiae I currently happen to know about push notifications because I've been working with them recently. Flashcards take knowledge decay into account.

But again: great stuff! Love it.

I think many of us probably tend to associate certain styles and features with functional programming that really are orthogonal to whether the program is functional or not.

As I've had it explained to me, if you write your program using functions whose output only depends on the arguments provided to that function, and nothing else, then you have yourself a functional program. But then again, people tend to treat the concept like a scale, with some programs (or languages) being more or less functional than others.
