I'm totally speculating of course but is not necessarily execution (she had all their fingers still and the tooth). The poisoning could happen also accidentally (in a militar laboratory for example). There is not post-mortem revenge or killer names annotated in a suicide note, maybe because there was nobody to blame for her death except herself?

The victim knows that is doomed in some time, no mather what she does; and goes voluntarily to a far and solitary place to commit suicide and clean its remains for the investigators. She whore jewels and exclusive clothes and is probably worried by her aspect after the suicide. She takes painkillers to assure the death.

The case is associated probably with skin damage (eccema treatment) and maybe tooth decay, and the victim dines in public, and travel by several countries, so there is not a fear of contagious at least in this phase, this suggests that is not a biological live weapon (no waiters fell ill later)

Mushrom poisoning causes not eccema; therefore the killer agent would be probably of radioactive nature (Polonium?)

Should be relatively easy to check if the jawbone is radioactive and if gold and other metals in teeth are aplied in one or more than one time suggesting a beating or sudden tooth decay.

If tags are missing we could assume exclusive clothes. As we have a description of the colour and style of clothes exclusive could mean traceable materials, pigments and fabrics.
No, for GPUs it would be stupid to go VLIW only, SIMD is a much better approach and VLIW-SIMD is even better. The last one is actually the approach taken by some of the newer GPU-esque architectures like movidius (although I take serious issue to almost everything else about their architecture).

By the ways, the NOP padding argument never convinced me because you can just use variable length instructions, and even current x86 decoders are variable length.
I loved Herb Sutter's talk at CppCon 2016, where he showed how careless written destructors can lead to "stop-the-world" and stack overflows in complex data structures.
Modern "CISC" architectures are actually RISC with a conversion layer stapled in front of it, that's not very convincing...

Actually, statistically the A380 dominates ME traffic, primarily because of Emirates. The only thing that has let the A380 limp along this long as been EK's order book.

Perhaps you're right if they terminate your employment and the noncompete remains in force. But if they've terminated the noncompete, it's no longer in force and you can find work with a competitor.
"The middle man PaySalary, which formally recruits Uber Eats bike couriers, then deducts employer fees as well as an administrative fee of 3.3 percent.

A statuary holiday entitlement of 12 percent is added.

After this, a 30 percent tax is deducted.

To summarize: If I am guaranteed a payment of 300 SEK, that translates to an hourly pay after fees, but before taxes, of just over 150 SEK plus holiday entitlement. That’s just short of 17 dollars an hour"

Why do Europeans brag about how great their governments are, then bitch about the mad taxes they have to pay for them?

You are currently talking to a homeless woman whose life revolves around getting well when the world says that cannot be done. When I was younger, my life revolved around taking care of my family as I was a military wife and homeschooling mom for a lot of years.

I have had a class on homelessness and public policy, I have been homeless for over 5 years and I am the author of the San Diego Homeless Survival Guide. http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/

I know a hell of a lot more about what "vagrants and hobos" do than you do. And your contempt for people with less money than you is not really pertinent to the point I was making. You clearly don't understand my point at all and are bringing so much personal prejudice to this topic that I see no real point in trying to correct the nonsense you are spouting.
Verizon does it too, although they just show search results and don't show ads. It's possible to opt out, but it hasn't bothered me enough to do that yet.

That creates the incentive for someone who wants to switch to a competitor to underperform - so she gets fired and can switch.

Noncompetes, viewed in a vacuum, are lopsided towards the employer by design. Which is why they are (ideally) counterbalanced by increased pay or other concessions to the employee.

Also, on a related note, there's enough jobs in IT which are already low wage as it is.
Seems unlikely to me:

If they are a vendor starting from Linux, they'd not do this while adding support for WSL.

If they are a vendor starting from Windows, WSL is not an interesting target for them, and their customers wouldn't buy the product to run it on WSL – they'd have to name an actual Linux as the target platform, and it'd have to work there. It could happen with very dysfunctional companies, but I don't see it developing enough pressure to change anything about Linux.
Seems like a bare minimum for such a contract term to be equitable, but seeking work while you have a job is so obviously encouraged by the current labor market that a non-compete clause strikes me as unpalatable unless it comes with guarantees against termination altogether for the same term.
I agree with your assessment. It seemed Intel tried to use the 32-bit limit of x86 to drive the high end computing to Itanium. AMD did x86-64 and removed that limit, and Intel was forced to play along and x86 escaped from its artificial limits and removed much of the justification for Itanium.
Some states are starting to move in that direction too,like Washington state but this isn't as strong as California :

Apparently Google and labor unions supported the original bill, but the article says that's not the case for Amazon and Microsoft

The scaled back bill removed those points:

> Make noncompetition agreements void if the employee is a temporary or seasonal employee, or is terminated without just cause or laid off.

> Create a rebuttable presumption that agreements restricting competition for more than one year after termination of employment or for employees who are not executives are unreasonable.

> Make noncompetition agreements with independent contractors void
Major Shark Die-Off in San Francisco Bay
Turns out this is another article about Trump. Now it seems so much press has to twist any possible story and make it about Trump or in this case "Trump's America." It seems WaPo is trying to make up for missing the possibility that Trump would actually win. But this article just underscores how they missed it in the first place: the issue of people not having dental care is not a standalone issue worthy of journalistic attention. Instead, the third paragraph has to say that someone voted for Trump, with a later paragraph saying someone voted for Obama. To WaPo these issues don't exist outside of the lens of presidential politics I guess.

Unfortunately it seems WaPo has merely gone from ignoring some parts of America to simply taking a few safaris there to report on the exotics who voted for Trump and have rotten teeth. WaPo will tire of its safari soon enough and return to its usual class blinders, like reporting about "how hard it is to get into a good college" and then quoting the anxieties of a bunch of upper middle class kids from the Virginia and Maryland suburbs, and somehow it won't be worth mentioning that their parents voted for Clinton.

I'm old enough to remember running into the house from outside to pick up the phone before it stopped ringing, then having no idea who it was when I just missed the phone (since we had no answering machine or caller ID). That was not a feature that I would call "working well".

But now I have at least 5 ways to contact me that don't involve making my phone ring and interrupting whatever I'm doing to look at the phone and see if it's someone important enough to stop what I'm doing to talk to them. There are very few people that I actually want to receive calls from and I almost never answer the phone.

Setting aside the obvious moral problems with "losing" half the current human population, letting the market decide is exactly the wrong thing to do here. It's not the bottom 50% (the once that would starve) that are the problem in terms of climate change, it's the top 50% (or 10%). The average CO2 emissions per capita in the US are 16 metric tons per year, versus 1.6 in India [1]. You would end up with 50% of the population, but still have 95% of the CO2 emissions.

You could accomplish much more by cutting the fossil fuel subsidies ($5.3 trillion in 2015 if you count the externalities [2]).

In summary:
The beneficial and the detrimental effects of fluoride naturally present in water
were well established by the early 1940s. High levels of fluoride present in
concentrations up to 10 mg l–1 were associated with dental fluorosis (yellowish
or brownish striations or mottling of the enamel) while low levels of fluoride,
less than 0.1 mg l–1, were associated with high levels of dental decay (Edmunds
and Smedley, 1996), although poor nutritional status is also an important
contributory factor.
Concentrations in drinking-water of about 1 mg l–1 are associated with a
lower incidence of dental caries, particularly in children, whereas excess intake
of fluoride can result in dental fluorosis. In severe cases this can result in erosion
of enamel. The margin between the beneficial effects of fluoride and the occurrence
of dental fluorosis is small and public health programmes seek to retain a
suitable balance between the two (IPCS, 2002). The various in

Basically: appropriate amounts of fluoride help your teeth to not decay.
Notes on Deliberate Practice
I had a friend who got RIF'd from a software company, and their offboarding paperwork included a 1 year noncompete that tied their severance as the consideration. Essentially, "we don't want you working here, but we also don't want you working anywhere else, either."

The market will work to price everyone to free. We see this with creative work, where most people have an effective negative minimum wage. You're better off working at a mcdonalds than write, draw, or create, and many places essentially pay nothing for creative work like reviewing.

For many creatives, they literally had to abandon capitalism and go back to the feudal patronage model with Patreon and kickstarter. The market priced even skilled labor down to effectively zero, since there was just so much produced.
I think that about 20% of TPP did, as you said, deal with real trade, but 80% dealt with treaties that would override individual nations' laws and use private 'courts' for disputes.

Not that it exonerates them whatsoever, but these kinds of attacks (including Wana Cryptor) usually aren't tailored for hospitals or any particular institution. They just harvest as many email addresses as they can (from leaks and purchased lists from spammers, etc.) and try to get as many infections as possible.

Hospitals just happened to be disproportionately affected by this attack because a lot of them have ineffective IT departments/mangement and never applied the MS17-010 patch.

Of course, these people are still felons and are likely responsible for millions of lost family photos, work and school documents, etc. They just aren't going out of their way to target hospitals.

>The only thing worse are the windows computers, which are in such bad shape that they just stopped using them.

Sounds like they are old and haven't been maintained properly.

I have experience with small (~200) and large (~6,000) professionally maintained Windows installations. They operate like a finely tuned engine, allowing you to focus on your core work.

And that's the key. There are hacks who call themselves "IT" and there are true IT folks who have the training and knowledge to do things right the first time around.

Prior to my first experience with professionally managed Windows installations I had completely ignored that entire world. We built our own computers --save laptops-- and every installation, save the initial image, was locally managed by the engineer running that machine. Works great. No question about it.

From experience with 20~30 machine installations, I can't remember a single serious issue in, say, 20+ years other than a hard drive failure. No real hardware failures outside of that. No viruses or any such problems in, again, 20+ years and multiple generations of OS and hardware. The key, I'll guess, is to buy good hardware and install good software.

And so, when I read accounts that describe nightmares I have to wonder what people might be doing. I don't understand it at all. I've been using PC's since the very original IBM PC and I can't remember a nightmare scenario, ever.

As for Mac's and iPads. I've had experience with ~200 seat Mac installations. They have the same issues PC's might have. The only "nightmare" I could point out is that, generally speaking, Mac users are utterly clueless. This excludes developers, of course. I saw IT burn time with the dumbest issues, whereas the PC users in the same business (about 200 as well) really only consumed IT time when there were hardware or software installation issues for the most part.

iPad's? I consider them to be useless for but a narrow set of business or educational applications. Cash register? Sure. Authoring documents and doing heavy web work? Nope. In general terms I am pretty down on tablets. I think they've manage to ruin desktop software. The transition of something like Skype from a computer-class application to mobile-first turned the program into a circus act that uses 10x more screen space for everything. Touch, as far as I am concerned, for business and other applications, is bullshit.

Chromebook is a far better choice, one that is easy to manage and deploy.

To be fair, it's my impression (as a Brit) that Nordics rarely 'bitch about the mad taxes'. Such concerns are often doled out by those in countries who don't feel they get a good return on their investment — the Mediterranean countries and higher earners in the likes of France and the UK.
Measuring "regulation" isn't straightforward, but based on the Heritage Foundation's criteria, Norway has a relatively light load. It's basically on par with the US.[1] Its a very free economy by international standards. Venezuela is near the bottom of the list, just above North Korea.

Economic regulation and the extent of the social safety net can be quite independent of each other.

Dental "insurance" is generally not really insurance, but a weird payment plan and a bit of collective bargaining. They often pay only 50% of non-preventative procedures and cap annual claims.

If you think that you're causing a net positive, then you should be able to monetize some of that value to cover the damages or otherwise negotiate to be indemnified by stakeholders.

I don't think globally releasing changes meant to tweak malware is a good idea, because of jurisdictional issues and liability. Down thread, I suggest confining changes to a network and indemnification from network owners (who may in turn be indemnified by network subscribers).

In practice, this would look like trapping malware DNS queries to security researcher controlled servers at the Comcast network DNS level, rather than registering a global name for it, with the researchers being indemnified by Comcast (who likely is indemnified as part of your subscription agreement).

This has well tread liability law behind it and moves us out of the situation where every random group feels free to potentially cause harm to hundreds of thousands or millions of computers across the globe because they're "good guys" and shoot from the hip.

I expect that network operates would quickly establish industry groups and a certification process for getting researchers to help protect their networks, and we would quickly be back to mostly the same situation, sans questionable legality. (They likely would be liable for occasional collateral damage and pay that out of industry membership dues to the group.)
I agree entirely. Student debt and healthcare have evolved to be a means of keeping people trapped in industry. After dealing with health care in other countries, I wrote a post on what I found returning to America:

http://fightthefuture.org/article/returning-to-america-and-t...

America wants you to work. Work work work work work. Our European neighbours can save up and take a few months off every few years and not have to worry about health care. In America, we only get socialised healthcare when we're too old to work and are no longer useful to society.
Charlie Lee: Bitcoin Miner Voting Is Safest Option
Thank you, I appreciate that reference. To summarize my reading, Ms. Clinton's statement to the NEJM does in fact show what has been claimed, that dental coverage was to be considered as part of ACA improvements Ms. Clinton wanted to work on. She even discusses dental specifically in a letter discussing how to "Improve the ACA". On the other hand, Mr. Trump's statements likewise don't seem to specifically support addressing problems with dental coverage and accessibility. Therefore it is reasonable to take the position that the election of Trump did in fact reduce the chances of improving dental care in the US, is it was part of Ms. Clinton's plan, but not Mr. Trump's.

Health insurance, unlike additional wages, is not taxed. Buying their employees health insurance instead of paying them higher wages allows companies to transfer more money to their workers for the same cost.
> So would you describe Sweden as a place with poor quality social safety nets?

No, but a proposition like that doesn't address the details.

Reading through this thread its clear that Sweden doesn't have minimum wage; they have strong unions instead (FWIW, I don't see how those are mutually exclusive). Problem is that unions are circumvented partly or completely by freelance constructions like the one we're discussing (another example would be MLM constructions). That needs to be addressed, by law enforcement or lawmakers (politicians). In order to achieve that, publicity like this may aid that goal.
