That's not a truth, and it's only persistent in the mind of bigots. Shame on you and your warped view of divinity.
Not at all, the question was how to combat or at least estimate fraudulent 'adjustment' of the karma in a location based service. The way to do that is to take information that is specific to the location, and changes, and provide that data in the input stream to help understand where your clicks/votes are coming from. If one in 5 phones has a barometer with a high degree of probability, then you can use set bounds on the likelyhood that all 5 votes came from legitimate users. It won't be perfect but it will make it harder for scammers to scam without being there.

If any of your queries are locking tables find a better database; what a senior would do is look at the query log and say hey, you've got an N+1 cascade load issue causing this to be so slow, optimize the query to prefetch the sub data or create a view that has the data you need already and map that. Cascade lazy loading is usually what makes an ORM perform badly and it's merely an indication the dev has a query to optimize, not a sign the ORM is broken.

I'm guessing everyone assumed that was a purely mechanical process - i.e. they just make holes. Lots of critters make holes in lots of things.

Digesting the polymer OTOH - that's a bit of a paradigm shift.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that both wax and plastic bag polymers are large chains of carbon with some hydrogen hanging off the edges. Perhaps it should not be so surprising that wax worms can digest that polymer.

EDIT2: Nevermind, that was in the article, I didn't read the whole thing.
IANAL. But if I understand correctly, a company limits your personal liability (not totally, but to a large degree).

As for how to properly structure it: I think the answer might be "as non-rigidly as possible, but no more so". That is, too much structural rigidity gets in the way of people getting work done - but too little structure provides too little support for those who are trying to get work done. Try to find the structure that lets your people get the most work done.

How do you decide which structure that is? I'll let someone else try to answer that one...

This is a distinction I first learned about working in france years ago. Without any real basis I wondered whether it is their general more precise use of language which made it a more obvious distinction for a french person to make. At the time they were more or less synonyms for me, but since then have become very distinct especially when talking about software!

As someone else said, Google and Facebook haven't been caught breaching terms of service or accessing others' "computers" [1] without authorization.

Another interesting question is how Uber has gone from being untouchable to assailable since the sexual harassment scandals. Uber is a populist creature. Their users used to protect them from harassment. Now, fewer people show up for protests or call their representatives to defend Travis and friends. Part of this is because, in most places, there are other options. Part of it is they lost their base.

We did Blue Apron for a few months, and I rather liked it. Believe it or not, some of us just aren't creative enough to spend tons of time thinking up recipes, or looking them up, and ensuring we have enough of every ingredient for every meal.

We still eat almost all of our meals at home, with or without Blue Apron, but it substantially improved the quality of the average meal.

The problem with Blue Apron is that they made meals complicated for the sake of being complicated. Way too many sauces to make, things to reduce, things to mix, etc. Every meal took at least 2x what they claimed it would take, and it seemed to take tons of dishes just because of how needlessly complex they made them.

We're using Gobble now, which is billed more as 15min meals and usually only dirty a couple of dishes. I vastly prefer it.

This reminds me of an anecdote about my grandfather. He reminisced with me once about how he became a drafter at Martin Marietta (later Lockheed Martin). They basically gave him an IQ test and then offered him the job. They then taught him everything he needed to know about drafting. Not quite the same as hiring ex-cons based entirely on their personality, but in a similar vein imho. Oh how times have changed.

One after the other. To put a conspiracy/playful hat on - seriously this is not my serious opinion - could it be that Uber is getting set up? Not necessarily framed but "oops, this just got leaked" set of dominoes. Apparently quite a few people are mad at Uber, like Apple, and Google, and the taxi drivers ...
You're comparing federal to state sentences. Nothing harmonizes the two, and states generally parole inmates, which the federal system does not. That's not an apples-to-apples comparison.

It makes the world better by not attempting to draw a legal distinction based on somebody's internal motives.

In this particular case, it makes the world better by recognizing that "prohibiting competition" is not a worthwhile goal for the state to promote.

Can't emphasize that enough.

Django makes it easy to substitute email backends [1], and there are backends available for most transactional ESPs. I maintain one that covers several popular, full-featured ESPs [2]; a quick search of PyPI will also turn up backends for AWS-SES and others.

> why so many people consider cryptocurrencies to be such a big deal

That alone could be a reason too. My other guesses: versatility and in some countries ease of use when compared to standard solutions.
That article doesn't really mean anything. It's just a test of some laptops and their adapters, which is a small subset of the world of charged/charging devices.

There are at least 10 different official USB power specs, the latest being from last year, called "USB Power Delivery revision 2.0 version 1.2". Each spec may have multiple revisions, and versions of revisions, and each revision version may have up to 6 power profiles. There are more unofficial specs that are hacked by vendors. Fast charging has even more variations and incompatibilities. And then some ports get some other standard tacked onto it, which may have their own incompatible power spec.

We keep getting new specs and new devices with new uses. Laptop vendors can only push out new hardware supporting new specs after a lot of R&D, and at considerable new cost. Because of this, in order to support some new feature without as much time and money spent making it compatible, it is vendor locked so it doesn't catch on fire. We saw the same thing with wifi.

So are things getting better? Yes, we finally have support for enough of the baseline standard so at least most new things will charge now. But will they all continue to work compatibly in the future? Probably not as long as vendors continue to make their own power adapters.
Yeah, if you want awful coffee, Keurig is here to service you! Otherwise, a simple hot pot can heat water and make you a good cup of drip coffee without grounds at a much lower price point, and it is compostable/yardwasteable, unlike those K-cups!

"and violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act"

To play devil's advocate, Finland was giving sort of a vague argument for their tax cuts: "dynamic effects", while in America there are very concrete potential effects of the policy. You can point directly to Apple and say, "If we cut tax rates to 15%, Apple will bring back $X to the USA", "Exxon Mobile will bring back $X to USA", and so on. You can even... talk to them and ask them what it would take to repatriate the offshore funds, and I would hope Trump would do that. So yeah, I think it's one thing to cut taxes and hope "economic growth" happens automatically, but a completely different thing if you have a quantifiable number of offshore dollars, deals can be made, etc.
It is one of the few tangible things we do envirnmentally. Its all about intent and feelings. Honestly I would be happy if people would just make it to a trash can instead of the roadside or ocean.

That's brilliant because people don't like cleaning. Cleaning regular juicers is annoying to the point that only few people use them regularly.

Hah, I can barely get the hardware on a heavily used laptop to last 2 years, let alone over 3. Shit is just junk, Apple stuff included. HDMI port failed on my new Macbook.
Intel has a feature where you can use one of their SSDs as a cache. It's fantastic. Except they limit you to 64 gigs no matter what the size of the SSD. Incredibly annoying since what I need cached doesn't remotely fit in 64 gigabytes.

I get to experience lovely things like performance falling off a cliff when stupid programs preallocate 30-40 gigs at a time. If I could use the rest of the SSD it would be no problem.

What desktop user needs fast write caching for synchronous writes? I mean really. It's all buffered writes for programs that work right. Cache size is going to give power desktop users what they need from spinning rust not a small fast cache that won't even fit a single AAA game. 32 gigabytes is a step backwards.

And what is with requiring hardware RAID? It really makes me think all the rapid response stuff is just for marketing.

> - Job Market: I'm a programmer. There are jobs everywhere for me. If the CEO of Uber loses his job (fingers crossed), it might be a looong time before he finds a new one and even then it's not likely to be remotely similar to what he does now. I mean shoot everyone loves Gabe Newell, but if he lost his job, what are his options? Not as many as me.

I would assume that people in such positions (i.e. people who are thinking about long-term strategic decisions nearly all day long) have some ideas in store for what they could do after their current gig. And they have the wealth to get their next company off the ground more easily.

You are already on record as using this forum to "provoke souls", and you have already been politely asked to provoke souls somewhere else. Unless you can offer some objective proof that gay sex is a sin, what you're doing is no different than the actions of a schoolyard bully taunting and calling people names. The suicide rate among gays is way too high without your help [1]. Take it elsewhere, or better yet, never do it again, anywhere.

Every thread there is some old guy going on about how stupid young people are.
I think the machine is fine and I don't feel like $400 is very much for a well built appliance. What kills me about this thing is the fact that they take so many steps to lock you in to their juice packs, which are priced so high that a regular user will have spent more on juice in the first month than the entire machine. Couple that with requiring a nanny QR scan to make sure you can't press "expired" packs as if we are unable to simply read an expiration date and it gets ridiculous. By the way, has anyone mentioned that the expiration on the packs is 8 days after the date of manufacture? Subtract shipping time and you literally have 4 days to use your packs before you shiny new machine says "gotta buy more!" What if I'm ok with a 9 day old pack? Too bad. I think that's what will kill the Juicero. It makes customers feel like they're being hustled.
I believe Red[0] is closest along to practically realizing this concept by focusing on compositions of small languages, a premise Alan Kay also worked on with the STEPS project at VPRI[1].

The main thing that stops people from beelining down this path is the sheer quantity of yak-shaving involved. We're all impatient and have near-term goals, and glue-and-iterate gets us there without having to engage in a non-linear deconstruction and analysis of what's going on.

Eh ... in my experience as an editor, author, and reviewer, this varies quite a bit.

Sometimes you can take a pretty good guess who it is based on the topic and the references (e.g., citations to in-press papers on obscure topics is usually a give away). Other times, though, it's difficult to tell who the authors are.

People often also think they know who the author and/or reviewers are when they are really totally wrong. I've reviewed papers and seen other reviewers cite my papers in a way that I thought "damn, that looks like something I'd write" when it was not. Similarly, I've seen reviewers think they know who the author is when they're completely off.

I personally think anonymous reviews are critical, because it keeps some modicum of shielding of reviewers against retribution for negative comments. It's not 100% anonymous of course, but it's anonymous enough to create enough doubt about who the reviewers and authors actually are.
