As you surely know, it isn't merely taxes that are at work in most provinces. Retail monopolies are another way to keep prices elevated, but even more, they expressly forbid competition in sales and distribution, which cuts off potential markets. There's no question that this infringes on the ability of people to exchange freely.

As to the effects of alcohol (or cigarettes, etc) on the social welfare system, this may be another argument against the social welfare system, or at least the manner in which it tends to operate. If the result is that government must creep further and further into regulating/taxing the lives of the population in order to control ever-rising costs, then something is quite awry.
Of course the neighbors could always find this out anyway by watching the driveway.
The turnout dropped by a huge amount. It's like people assumed that Obama's policies were not worth continuing their voting turnout.

It does matter. No vulnerability can be used without knowledge of that vulnerability, therefore it matters who found it (did they publish or abuse the vulnerability?) and when (was it published shortly after the first discovery?).
Can I see how you setup webpack to parse individual sass files imported into components?
The real problem is not the fact that we have places where pedestrians can be hit. It's the fact that there are people who would want to hurt innocent people for no reason. TBH I don't really understand why these crimes should be treated in any special way other than any other murder/assault crime. What difference does it make what ideology they are claimed to identify with? I am not convinced that the volume of such crimes (assault with relevant ideology) is enough to warrant putting them in a special category in the first place.

I do think that the bollard solution is a bit unnecessary though, as there'll always be a place where pedestrians would be vulnerable, and many other ways that people could be hurt besides.

At least it's something that could have an effect though. Snooping on emails would have almost no effect, and I hope everyone knows that. Snowden/William Binney, etc, should have made it patently obvious to everyone that there is no shortage of data flowing in, and I'm sure any successful preventative efforts would have been trumpeted to the rooftops with the way those agencies love to pat themselves on the back to justify bigger budgets.

More crap data, from millions of law-abiding innocent citizens, is not going to make it any easier for them to separate out the signal from the massive amount of noise.

The fact the media is not presenting real solutions to either of the actual problems - people being run down by cars or trucks, and people wanting to hurt other innocent people, or even questioning the imaginary solutions makes me strongly suspect there's ulterior motives at play.

To be quite blunt, this is such a blatant and transparent power grab by the authorities that I can't help but think that if the average person cannot see that our media is not interested in presenting the true story, with real facts that make sense, and our government representatives aren't addressing any of the real issues and just trying to remove our freedoms at every turn in order to not even solve imagined problems, then our society is already doomed, and not at the hands of terrorists.
Is there a way to opt out explicitly by requesting the ISP not to share your data?
Hiro Protagonist is literally a pizza delivery driver, so it's not a euphemism. Neal Stephenson could perhaps have used pizza delivery as a metaphor for something, but if so, I have no idea what, so it's probably actually just commentary on America's obsession with fast food.

The problem is that jobs aren't nearly so fungible. In the software industry, those of us who succeed are used to constantly retraining ourselves, on our own dime.

This simply isn't true for most workers. Why aren't those coal miners retraining as data scientists? Everyone knows coal is on the way down, right?

But the FCC rules that were repealed allowed data collection if you "opt-in" too, right? I haven't read the entire text of the legislation, but their news release covers this: https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-341937A1.p...

> Opt-in: ISPs are required to obtain affirmative “opt-in” consent from consumers to use and share sensitive information. The rules specify categories of information that are considered sensitive, which include precise geo-location, financial information, health information, children’s information, social security numbers, web browsing history, app usage history and the content of communications.
Not true. Microsoft figured out how to do that. Google mac randomization Windows 10.
Jill Stein is also pretty anti-science as she supports the anti-vaxxer community and supports GMO hysteria.
Clickbait title. There was a story recently that said that all of the devices had flaws with MAC address randomization. There's literally nothing special about the iPhone here.

OP's comment is the straw man, not yours.

If you go out and talk to these actual Democrats and Republicans, the bipartisan distinction seems more and more like a fraud.

Seriously, have you ever met a person who's "core driving force" is money and "all they care about"? Does that description fit about half the people your know?

Seems pretty cartoonish to me.
What popular streamer has recently switched to Curse? Every streamer I watch uses Discord. Each and every one of them. I haven't seen Curse used in well over a year now. Curse finally got around to updating the UI and features of their client a while back, but it was too little too late. Discord had already won.
this is hilarious, I'm going to do this
Also possibly because, if it is associated with a wifi network, then it's already sending packets with its MAC address, so there's not much point in randomizing some of the packets.
While I'd definitely like to see restrictions on internet browsing being protected at least as much as library circulation records [1] and video rentals [2], as a fan of checks and balances, the mere concept of a regulatory agency passing "landmark" regulations on anything is troubling. Either that power is in the law giving regulatory authority to the agency, and hence, it shouldn't be called "landmark"; or the power is outside the scope of what Congress intended when enacting the law, in which case it's a a bureaucratic power grab.

This is an open source project. Probably there is nobody agonizing over anything on this site (not because they are spending all their time working on the project, but because they probably have full time jobs). It's also likely that if you are arriving here, you probably already know what this is. You probably got here through Ember.

Rust was made specifically to fill this void. The only problem is that libraries you would want to use (ie for a video game or audio player) are written in C/C++, and therefore much easier to interface with using C/C++. Fortunately that is changing at a fairly good pace.

The most difficult thing about using Rust instead of C is that you must wrap your head around the borrow checker.
I have coworkers that drive the Leaf first and later gen. What they report to me is it works great until those times it doesn't work and you get stuck somewhere waiting hours to charge. Also, the cost of electricity is surprising to them as it is not as cheap (still cheaper usually than gas) as they expected.

Don't get me wrong, we are closer all the time to resolving all the concerns. I think we just rounding the bend. Hopefully Tesla and co will keep up the pressure for better alternatives.

Let's hope that the current government trends don't set us back years in the progress we are making.

I am optimistic that the electric trend has enough momentum that it will continue, but we have seen huge shifts in automotive tech happen before (for example, rubber tire conglomerates and freedom of cars shifted us away from mass transit in the past).
I actually think distraction from our IT devices is a major reason why things are slowing down.

Without our smartphones, spending hours tinkering would be how most people ended up spending their time. It sets one up much more so for a maker mindset over a consumer mindset.
They might choose a different MAC for each network, but surely for a given network they use the same one? Many people use MACs for securing access points and a continuously changing MAC would break that.

Your neighbour would be using some sort of correlation to work out the MAC anyway, so all they'll need is that it doesn't change over time for your access point.

It's almost funny to me how misguided this is! It's as if Go developers think any developers reason for not using go couldn't possibly be anything remotely reasonable. Instead, its "darn those go developers, they're too productive! I hate Go!"

That just looks like a bullshit justification for having a clickbait title. It's not like this title will make Apple pay any more attention to the issue. All it does is try to elicit pageviews from other people, while simultaneously misleading them (because the title implies it's a problem unique to iPhone 7, and not everybody is going to read the whole article).
You took Razengan's supposition and made it a certainty.

Maybe making it easier for new users is what they were aiming for but it's equally likely with the evidence we have (read: zero) that they fucked up because they don't know what they're doing.
Having recently updated from 10.8 to 10.12 I can tell you it wasn't happening before, but definitely one of the annoyances now. My workaround for now is hovering my mouse over the control bar. For whatever reason that removes the artifacts.

This vote had a bad result, and the Rs were pushing the bad thing. But a bit of puttering around older newspaper articles reveals the Democrats have also done their fair share of problematic votes here. Obama's Administration was not particularly sympathetic to these sorts of concerns, although more so than the current Administration. The EFF had more than a few things to say.

I don't mean to exculpate the Rs or go "ruh ruh whatabout those bad Democrats". Lack of understanding of consequences and technology is a cross-party issue, and each party has performs their ignorance differently. I think that part of this is age, as well as the age of the vested interests.

Also, personally, I wish you'd have checked my comments. I am no GOP evangelist/apologist. I'm trying to hew to the truth and be fair.
A heuristic guide...If you have more data than knowledge about the domain, and you want to do classification/prediction, then NNs are a good.

PGMs are good if you have knowledge that is important to encode; you need modularity i.e. you don't want to embed priors in the model; you have strong causal relationships e.g. diagnostic models with 'explaining away'; you want to integrate value of information e.g. what test should I do next to resolve uncertainty.

You can mix ML with knowledge in PGMs. The downside is the computational complexity of inference which is NP-hard for both exact and approximate inference, although you can identify the complexity of the model at design time and make the appropriate modelling trade-offs.

You can tank your entire presidency on a single decision. Bush JR did, relatively early into his career as well.

When the sum total of your bad decisions are as great as Bush JR or Trump, there's little you can do to negate that in the next 3 years.

Furthermore, my statement is that he is a bad president, which he is. Personal attacks on Twitter, regular vacations at taxpayer expense, deregulating climate change, pushing to remove healthcare from Americans, bad appointments. These actions are happening now and have not been rectified. Present tense, he is a bad president.

If he undoes all these things and does a couple good things, I will say "he was a bad president, then he became a good president." Currently, though, bad president.

Not sure if this is intentional or not but at first I thought this was something to do with Flex (the Lexer generator - as in one half of Flex and Bison). Something that is even more confusing since the first graphic in the page contains a BNF document and talks about compiler generation.

If Flex was a business with a trademark this would count as infringement without a doubt. Same type of product, same name.
I took this class and can't recommend it highly enough! Great professors and a straightforward introduction to data science.
Fair. Although I'd presume he was genuinely unaware of the prior art here. A lot about wifi traffic is not what most people assume.

Interesting. In "Works With Multiple Formats" section, it mentions 'AU' - do you mean AIFF (AU is Apple's Audio Unit plugin format)? 'Chorus' is misspelled under "Filters".

What is bitrate/quality of transcoding, and how would you rate your DSP algorithms compared to those in pro DAWs/editors? Like, is that FreeVerb or something fancier, and what about pitchshift/timestretch quality and zero-delay filters? Audio folks are pretty picky about quality these days.
Redistribution increases social mobility. It gives all people in society a better chance to achieve as much as they can. That sounds a lot more like freedom to me than what you are advocating.
>I would hope that even journalistic objectivity has some limit, to the point that one could call the slaughter of innocent people wrong. That's a value judgment that should be made.

Why? What value does it add? As long as they provide the information that innocents were slaughtered, what's stopping you from adding the condemning language in your own head?
And hope the VPN isn't selling the data, also. Pretty bad news for everyone involved.
Well, they point out that Android does it too, so clearly they know it's not unique to iPhone 7.
I do need to study the matter. I've found the ASDF docs to be unusually opaque (last time I read them), and my current solution to be Very Simple (and a little Stupid), so I've been content not changing the setup.

My country has ranked voting. Compulsory ranked voting. No-one seems to have any difficulties with it. What's so hard to understand about rank the candidates in the order that you want them?

I did get the chance to flick through a Californian voter information guide for this last election and it seems like if your goal is to make voting simpler then looking at ballot initiatives would be far more useful.

My ISP Comcast has the following in its privacy policy. I hope this clause stays the same - then you can opt out :)

If I don't work I won't starve. I have reached the point where my investments could sustain a very modest lifestyle, if I moved away from coastal California, indefinitely.

Some of this is due to my job. A lot of it is due to the fact that my family could afford tuition, so I graduated debt free, and when my grandfather passed away, the inheritence allowed me to buy a house at the bottom of the market.

The reality is that the overwhelming majority of wealth exists in the hands of people who did not create equitable value for society.

Actually there are many cases in which people accrue wealth by generating negative value for society, because they are allowed to (or used their exiting influence to lobby for laws that) externalize many of their costs.

I can see how a reasonable person could find taxation (and in particular progressive taxation) morally wrong.

Can you really not see how a reasonable person could find it morally worse to create a world in which some people to have a high chance of starving due to being born into poverty, while others born into wealthy families have a near zero chance of that happening?
Ignorance admission time: I still have no idea what problem containers are supposed to solve. I understand VMs. I understand chroot. I understand SELinux. Hell, I even understand monads a little bit. But I have no idea what containers do or why I should care. And I've tried.

The general 'application resolution' of grsec features is system-wide, although with additional configuration some features may be limited to certain users/processes.

This in a nutshell is why the incompatibility is significant: systems may be running more than just a docker workload requiring these security features, so saying "it's secured in the normal docker case anyway", even if true, doesn't really help to solve the problem.

The preferred suggested fix was "mknod and chmod during image builds to be executed from outside of any chroot". In siding with docker in not considering this fix, you seem to be alluding to last year's http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2016/Oct/96 vulnerability, now fixed. A more intelligent fix would be 'require a modern/secure archive extraction tool'.

The second fallback was "Docker could check for the existence of /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/chroot_deny_chmod and /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/chroot_deny_mknod and, if present, ensure the values of both are 0."

AFAIK nothing happened.

I hope this is the beginning of a process that will improve this situation in the future.

Not a long time ago people were completely ignorant about this subject. As companies started to take advantage and abuse the lack of awareness of general people they started to do it more broadly and publicly.

Now the idea of lack of privacy is starting to get out on the streets and make people more aware of the problem.

At some point we will be able to turn the table and a strict legislation around privacy will be put in place.

Things are going to improve, but they still need to get worse, before.
World annual traffic deaths in 2010 were estimated by the WHO to be 1.25 million. If Elon Musk has the guts to let people voluntarily test out a system that ends up killing 100 people (and this estimate seems very high. The system could save more than it kills during development) but develops a system that reduces traffic deaths by just 50% one year earlier, that would be saving 625,000 lives. From a practical human suffering perspective, I am glad he is pushing hard to develop automatic cars a soon as possible.

Also: reusable rockets.
