"Too big to fail" would be the usual argument. They're currently the third-largest CA in the industry. Pulling the root completely would desensitize a lot of users to the error interstitials, causing more harm than good.

However, a number of browsers now have experience with distrusting CAs only after a certain cut-off date while still accepting old ones (and some even make an attempt to prevent the CAs from bypassing that check by backdating certificates), so Symantec is certainly treading on thin ice.
More importantly, a lot of this is diminished in importance in Elixir by supervisors. Its ok to just let code crash and reset in small chunks in Elixir. Code in Elixir should be structured to take advantage to the ability to crash and recover gracefully.
They were the primary target market; I don't think treatments were ever limited to females.
Yes, using the API you can get the raw plaintext in both Github and Gitlab, at least.
ROM dump people argue making a ROM is proper software archival, Nintendo disagree with that.

The thing is, if Nintendo needed the ROM for whatever reason because it was an archive, then Nintendo would be wrong in saying ROM is not archival.
Indeed, the wrong here is from a moral perspective, not legal.

Although, well… a ROM may be a derivative of an illegal copy of Nintendo's original work, but does that prevent copyright nonetheless applying to the derivative? If it doesn't, then there's probably a threshold-of-originality thing applying (the header is tiny and its content obvious), but I do wonder.
Your V is the Voltage drop over the superconductor, but for the complete picture consider a voltage source that adds its inherent resistance (output impedance) to the loop and limits the overall current. A superconductor, to my limited understanding is equivalent to the idealized resistance free wires in schematics.

Voltage isn't on the line but it's the difference of two electric potentials. Without Voltage drop there is no energy loss for conducting any current, as P=IV and E(t)=Pt.

Edit: OTOH you might argue that then there is no Energy gradient for the current to follow, but that's only the macroscopic picture where the Voltage drop is on average zero. Another comment pointed at quantum mechanics, but I couldn't explain lossy resistors on that level either.

The principal reason is the complexity of integrating ever-changing legalities from all three branches of government across all jurisdictions – and it's not just the logistics; it's the very modality of interoperation with democratic institutions. Despite a modern push for efficiency in public administration, extant inefficiency is still deep and vast, and capital markets can hardly bear it (i.e. investment in development of the concept).

But don't discount a secondary complexity – that of the contextual analysis and pure judgment inherent to legal practice, for which the human mind has a mysteriously unsurpassed capacity.
Of course users don't want anything complex, and if the resulting custom software makes a task more confusing and error-prone than a spreadsheet, the developers and designers have failed.

Instead, I read this comment as meaning a few different things:

1. It is difficult to get users to try something different.

2. Most users don't comprehend the limitations of the software with which they are already familiar.

Lots do, though, and the ones that don't often offer customer support over the phone. And anyway, social engineering doesn't only happen in stores or when talking to CS.
They are still quite rare in most places, actually. Only the brand new models have digital output. I was unlucky, because my hospital had just bought new machines not long before digital output became mainstream on the market. And so for now, we are stuck with analog.
Your example isn't even a specific grammar rule. It's a very broad language rule, which is: "descriptions should conform to the real world."

Someone who has never seen a peach might assume that hairy peeled peach refers to a hairy peach without a peel. If you've seen a peach before, this makes no sense. So the assumption is that the peach has a hairy peel.

I think there are real economies of scale in ride service. Once you have enough customers your cars are better utilised and your costs are lower, this means that while Uber's cap table may be all fucked up by the time it happens, it will lose less money competing on price than new entrants.

Depending on how large these economies of scale are, even the fact that a new entrants would be doing less volume (and therefore losing more) may not be enough to help them compete.
Regarding Apple and security, their policy via AppleCare seems to be to ASK (over the phone, for instance) for your cleartext computer administrator password before you send in your laptop for repair, without any warning whatsoever of the implications.
Once you get all the security, backups, data validation and whatever exporting/search capability the people need a system like this is never simple. I wonder how happy they really were with his software vs relieved to have a semi-functioning system.

It still seems like something like this is in the realm of possible. Salesforce mostly does this, but its UI is garbage and most people end up hiring implementors for it.
Common carrier means that you treat the company more like a utility, which means that the company is subject to extra regulation. Telephone companies are regulated as title II, for example.

It ensures that common carriers can’t “make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services.” (Title II, the second subsection 202). Classifying these ISPs as title II / common carriers gives the FCC the ability to enforce net neutrality.

Some further info, from wikipedia's entry on common carriers:
A common carrier in common law countries (corresponding to a public carrier in civil law systems,[1] usually called simply a carrier) is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and that is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport...
A common carrier is distinguished from a contract carrier (also called a public carrier in UK English),[2] which is a carrier that transports goods for only a certain number of clients and that can refuse to transport goods for anyone else, and from a private carrier.

A common carrier holds itself out to provide service to the general public without discrimination (to meet the needs of the regulator's quasi judicial role of impartiality toward the public's interest) for the "public convenience and necessity
"All they care about is how many users you can bring or how many zeroes you can put on the contract."

Which is influenced by the subsidies you get. Some industries more than others. The extreme case is the agricultural industry in the USA. Many of the big wheat firms would not exist without the vast subsidies offered by the government. For those firms, Oracle or Microsoft are only talking to you because you've gotten money from the government.
This reminds me of when I used to do outdoor movie setups for a municipality's parks/culture group. We would obtain the necessary license for public performance of the film, and with that came a loaner DVD, but then I'd feed the projector from a laptop using a torrented Bluray rip for the higher quality. I'd then delete the file without playing it under any other circumstance. Not piracy, amirite?
You listed only positives for Email and only negatives for Github etc. but you implicitly made the claim that decentralization and freedom are more valuable than all of slack and Github's features combined. Or are you saying that the value of everything except your "what I value" list is zero, so all of github/slack's objectively useful features are weighted to zero in the calculation?
Quickbase does an amazing job with allowing non-tech users to create their own crud apps, and the model is very spreadsheet like, including grid edit if you want.

The trouble is the pricing model. $25/user per month for the edition that's not hobbled. For some use cases, that makes sense. For others, it's just way too high.
From what I read, he gave up the SSL cert by printing out a hard copy in a tiny font, and when he was ordered to provide a digital copy, he shut down the service.

> At approximately 1:30 p.m. CDT on August 2, 2013, Mr. Levison gave the F.B.I. a printout of what he represented to be the encryption keys needed to operate the pen register. This printout, in what appears to be four-point type, consists of eleven pages of largely illegible characters.

And:

Try using it. It doesn't have the same modules as Ubuntu, so the answer is to load from a separate source. Even then, Kodi Remote wouldn't work (SELinux?), no visualizations, sound subsystem issues and I was done. I have bettter things to do with my time.
True. The main issue is that people love to create new web formats. For example, there was some 3D model formats we didn't support initially. It's pretty hard to keep up.
It so far appears there is no statistically significant downside to being vaccinated.

The theoretical risk is that telling teens that they are protected against one risk of unprotected sex could make them more likely to risk unprotected sex in general.

If you do choose to vaccinate your teen for HPV, why are you compelled to inform them that's what it's for? After all, when you vaccinate them for other diseases, do you tell them exactly what the vaccines do, what diseases they prevent, or how they work? If you don't tell them they've been vaccinated against X # of HPV strains, they wouldn't make a corresponding change of risk behaviors.

Also, pay attention to which vaccine series you purchase (some protect against as few as two strains), and make sure the entire series is applied (generally three shots over 6 months).

[EDIT:] Adding my definition of "fully informing": "There are 40+ strains of HPV. About a dozen have been demonstrated to cause cancer. This vaccine, if properly applied, will protect you against exactly two[0] of them."

[0] Two, four, or nine, depending on which vaccine is used
The long tail, though, is huge here. Anything that actually expresses your business workflow is going to be more specialised, and people end up really chafing under one-size-fits-all solutions (as evidenced by the bottomless demand for custom line of business development).

Our big point with Anvil (https://anvil.works) is something already noted here: The key is being able to write real code.

Pure Crud - anything sufficiently simple to do with a spreadsheet - is going to be done by a slick single-purpose startup. But anything that requires custom logic, you won't get quite what you want and you'll be stuck in spreadsheet-land or spending thousands on a contractor. Offering people a choice between those extremes can relieve a lot of pain.
As a follow up, what do you suggest should be used instead?

Explicit life time management? refcounting? ownership models?

They all have problems (although the exact problems change) and/or require substantially different programming models.

I think you mean MS SQL Server, it is faster and has more features than Access.

Access is good to prototype a database and use GUI/UX controls to make forms and other stuff. It is good for small projects, but once you need to upscale you need to go to SQL Server. I did this in the late 1990s and early 2000s migrated databases from Excel and Access to SQL Server.

On Linux, people use MySQL or PostgreSQL for the same reason and upgrade from SQLlite3 etc.
> Run a goddamn business,.... If you cared about image, you wouldn't talk about what people wear.

Let's change perspective - what do you think, how much success will have business with web pages that looks like from 90-ties or products that looks like they are made in basement in spare time? (sure, there are exceptions, but well, they are exceptions :P).

Everything is about image; if I'm going to invest in you, you better be shaved with ironed shirt and good suite. Simply, it's telling me you are serious about your business.
Public transit isn't an option in the country. Neither is biking: you can't bike your father to the er when his hip breaks. Uber is, and it's displacing sustainable transit. What happens when they try to justify it? They're basing their world view on efficient economies, but they're getting there with a subsidized economy. The way this ends is either with a) starving drivers or b) unaffordable transport for those below average income.
> No way to vote on comments, no formatting or embedded images (which work with all clients, including the web UI), no way to edit comments after you've posted them

Can you cite any study evidence that suggests that these are helpful features in this context (or even that they aren't massively harmful? Comment voting in particular appears to be an especially strong source of toxicity and online forums that feature it prominently have a pretty reliably history of going down in flames after a few years).
Ask HN: Anyone know which malware is this?
My server that I and my family use for our daily computing, with Remote Desktop Services, today got infected with some malware, and I'm really interested in knowing what is it?

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0c03b26478deec8800be159af8c0023f4a79c2dfebb515b50b4955820e8f4a00/analysis/

I noticed that Cryptographic Services was using 50% of the CPU, and that it was sending more than 20 Mbps of data out, so I looked into it and found a random file in the Temp folder that I uploaded to virus total.

Thinking it was ransomware, I shut off the computer, copied my files (couldn't find any encrypted ones) and reinstalled the OS. I didn't save a sample of the malware.

Anyone know what is it?
It was something they could annex, to drum up nationalistic fervor, that wouldn't get them into too much trouble.

Some accounting only needs to happen when visiting the
object for the first time. The complete barrier is simply:

object->field = newValue;
if (object->cellState == Old)
remember(object);

This surely elides some synchronization? One would think that either this has to communicate with the collector (to prevent a racing concurrent collection from missing the referent), or happen in the opposite order.

Or perhaps it is relying on the calling mutator thread necessarily holding a reference to the young object in question? Even then there is some non-trivial ordering work to be done here (in particular on weakly ordered architectures.)

I'm sure this is well handled but as this is one of the main difficulties in implementing good write barriers I am curious what they did.
> > Search isn't possible

> It absolutely is, in both theory and practice. The server stores an encrypted index, and the client walks it (requesting parts as needed). It's going to little slower, and a lot more complex but it's doable.

Are you suggesting that to search your mailbox, the client should download every single encrypted message in the entire mailbox and decrypt them all locally to search them?

If not, how does the server get this "encrypted index" without having your private key?

That's a factor, but like IT people, lawyers have opinions that vary, even for seemingly straightforward stuff.

I've worked with in house and outside counsel on a variety of matters. The meter makes a difference in some things, it the individual attorney or lead attorney made a much bigger one.
> If you do choose to vaccinate your teen for HPV, why are you compelled to inform them that's what it's for? After all, when you vaccinate them for other diseases, do you tell them exactly what the vaccines do, what diseases they prevent, or how they work?

I don't see why you wouldn't inform a teen about this exactly as much as an adult patient would be informed, even if the parent was the ultimate decision-maker.

Agreed, I would have skipped this news/headline if it wasn't for the Trello bit.
I posted upthread already, but I would really love to know what you think of Anvil (https://anvil.works).

We're aiming squarely at your use case: more than just a form builder; less fuss than fighting Heroku for four hours.
No regrets I guess, you're showing promising results even at that crude resolution and analog contraption.

Can't wait for your setup to be done with less absurd hardware and data.

To be fair you have to acknowledge how society is essentially driven through tales of one's bolstered narrative. Many consider us in a "post facts" era given how you can watch almost any politician (some far worse than others) go on live television and say something that is completely untrue but it tells a fantastic story. Elections are won based on being able to sell a narrative.

While I agree with you I think a large amount of people will buy into the narrative of him sticking up for freedom.

I should have been more clear: those taxes relate to communication services (VOIP) that interconnect with the public telecommunications network, e.g let you call phone numbers.

If you used Macs in the 80s and 90s and shared files with PC users, you heard about it all the time, because high-ascii characters would map incorrectly across the platforms.

In general, no, such an unauthorized copy is not legally a derivative work, and therefore the pirate cannot claim any rights over it -- according to 17 U.S.C. § 106[1], derivative works can only be made by or with the authorization of the owner of the copyright.

Adding substantial new content does qualify it as an derivative work -- but it's still infringing, since any derivative works made without authorization are illegal.

Well, Ruby will also crash on malformed data; exception handling makes it trivial to recover and continue.

Using supervisors to recover by retrying allows you to correct for instability (network faults, oversaturation, locking and such) where a retry might actually fix things. What I am describing is something that cannot be retried in the first place; the next attempt would try to feed the exact same piece of wrongly-typed data back into the supervised process that would then fail again, and so on.

Ruby doesn't have anything like OTP, but these are two different problem spaces. Elixir, as far as I can tell, is open to malformed data/types at runtime in exactly the same way that Ruby is.
Ideally, neither party would offer meaningless pre-interview/discovery numbers and both would be willing to accept nearly any number that made sense after agreeing on the likely quality of the applicant-candidate fit. In practice, neither of those things are true and an early number from a candidate is treated like a late-stage number should be. It's much easier to leave the number out than to try to fix that.

And as an employer, I'm certainly not required to give a number. "Market rate" is sufficient to start a conversation with a serious applicant.
Well, as an analogy.

1 - You are a painter

2 - someone says makes a copy of one of your paintings

3 - That's wrong you say

4 - you take the copy and sign your name at the bottom

5 - you sell the copy to someone else

See the thing is, copyright for something that takes basically zero effort to copy (like digital goods), soon enters in these kind of loopholes.

If Nintendo policy was: "ROM dumping is wrong IF you don't own the original cartridge", well, I could be on Nintendo side.
