5 Most Common Legal Related Questions You Will Be Asked by Angel Investors
I should be clear that I'm not criticizing Nikon. They make excellent cameras and excellent lenses.

Canon EF lenses go back to 1987 and are compatible with modern DSLRs. Not as far back as Nikon, but probably far enough for most working equipment you'd buy or rent.
Who do you trust to distribute the keys? This person is empowered to MITM.

Who do you trust to know the metadata about how encrypted messages are flowing?

Who do you trust to get the crypto implementation details right?

How will you support use of multiple devices? People generally expect seamless switching between phone and laptop these days.
Small banks existed because anti-trust laws were enforced. After Reagan, anti-trust stopped looking at market share and only cared about consumer prices. Hence why we've seen a huge consolidation of capital resources in large firms and cities, because that's where the economies of scale are.
So instead of an "up or out" culture they have an "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right" culture?
> Ex-Kons are not allowed to put their Konami experience on their public resumes.

I had a start up that tried to do this a year or so later, after I left the company on bad term mind you. The lead basically tried to bully me. I just up and left on the same day that he tried that.

I read this and look around where I'm at, palm trees and beach. Oh right I'm in California.

I tried several emails to explain to the lawyer. He made bunch of bs excuses.

So I immediately googled for a cease and desist letter and send it to the buddy.

He basically asked me if I know who he is.

I don't care if your Donald Trump. If Trump couldn't pass the muslim ban good luck with you trying to ~~force~~ coerce me to remove this experience from my linkedin.

After that I never hear from the lawyer again or his company again.
Yup, this is what I hate about all of the we-must-be-right-look-at-our-adoption-rate arguments. From the blog post:

> There is a reason Go programmers choose to program in Go, and I believe that reason stems from our core tenets of simplicity and readability

Not the reason I choose it, I choose it for tight cross platform binaries and nice stdlib. Arguments made against generics should be technical, not political... complexity may be subjective, but the justification for the definition can still be technical.
Damn I really wish I had this 6 months ago when I was re-implementing a way to convert ImageData into a 1-bit BMP image directly in the browser to easily interface with a legacy system.

Have you tested the performance of this? Some drop is expected over the larger size arrays, but are we talking magnitudes slower or just 2-3x slower?

I see most of the "public" methods are just using the `.toArray()` method of the private class, doesn't that just murder the performance and negate the whole reason for using this?

We eventually basically implemented a version of this ourselves, but we ended up doing it a little differently. We would pull a full uint8 from the array and break it out into the 8 bits then just let the iterator return/set those one at a time until it's done, then it would write the whole 8 bits to the "main" array at once which massively sped things up for us.

Also, your getter to access the private section is adding a lot of overhead to accessing it. It's probably better to just forego the "absolute safety" of being unable to overwrite your private inner class and just rely on the symbol to prevent access to the private bits.
Does Apple have a messenger that can support both messages and video? They have Messages and FaceTime but they are separate apps and only if you have an apple device
For example you're missing forward secrecy: Do old messages stay secure or not if a key is leaked?
ARM doesn't have to support legacy binaries in the same way that the wintel ecosystem does. I don't think it's really comparable.
Partially true.

In the US, there is also this thing called Suspicious Activity Reports. They are triggered with any transaction >$3,000 (typically cash-equivalents; but that can be wide reaching). There are some requirements where banks must report but there is also the discretionary part. This is where banks can be held liable for not reporting suspicious activity. Because of that, it is safe to assume most banks report every transaction above $3,000 of any type.

But let's face it, most bank databases probably have something like this going on;
GRANT SELECT ON Transactions TO USGOVT
The prison system in general, and solitary confinement (and other forms of emotional torture) in particular is a good enough reason in my opinion to dismantle the state and start over.

And it's only one of about 4-5 good reasons right now.

Let's do it.
Disclaimer: I work for one of the top 10 banks in the US by assets.

I was shocked, SHOCKED, to find out that our CEO isn't even a tiny bit of a lying, cheating sociopath. I started working here for the benefits and culture in the IT department, and assumed that the people responsible for paying for all the cool stuff we got were doing the same thing I assume all the other big banks do (Wells, JPMorgan Chase, Citi).

I've only been here a little while, and not seen anything nefarious, though I only have visibility into the IT infrastructure mostly, and some development work. But I'm still wondering how a company can become this large and successful in this sector without griminess from the top.

It's restored my faith in stuff a little bit. Also note, if you look at the top 10 banks in the USA, the bottom half are a small fraction of the size of the top 3, and we're in the bottom half.
Crysis was hard on systems partly because the graphics were good and partly because it was not well-optimized. Game graphics have improved since then but they don't tend to take your system down as hard because they are better written. That's why Crysis is still a joke.
Nifty! A few years ago, a friend and I created an application that allowed users to import their own MP3s. We scraped the frequency data from the mp3. Once imported, you could then pick two different headphones; for each headphone, we scraped frequency data from headphone.com.

The application allowed you to benchmark headphones in real-time, revealing "how accurately" your music was being recreated; you'd pit two headphones against one another: clash of cans!

Ultimately, yeah, there's the uber-uber high-end, the really clear low-end, and a +-$900 muddle of everything else.

> I actually prefer fast and loose with most terms. Ironically, I find it leads to simpler conversations.

You mean simplistic conversations right?

The problem with being fast and loose with terminology is that it lacks precision; and with lack of precision comes ambiguity and misinterpretation, which beats the whole point of good communication.
You might be running a business and not want to let your competitors know how much you are spending on advertising, R&D, and such like.

I don't know what online diff do you use, but less let you configure the tab stop with the -x option, which is the point of using tabs: being able to chose what's more readable for you.
“Yeah, Python is great in so many ways, too bad it’s not really scalable.”

I'm not even sure what this means anymore. I guess I'm just not sure how any language, when used correctly, could be inherently unscalable. My guess is statements like this came from a time when monoliths were the application design of choice? Now, assuming Instagram has just 1,000 photo handling servers, each one is only responsible for 95,000 photos a day.

Of course, that's not to say that Instagram doesn't have CAP issues. It does, especially in the "C" area, but again, not a problem inherent in the language.
Honestly, I find the US prison system absolutely horrifying in all respects. As satisfying as it may be for victims to feel the person that did something to them is 'gone' they will eventually be let out, and when they do I want them to be ready to integrate with society.

Recidivism rates in the US show it is objectively not working, with state prisons leaving inmates to re-offend 76% of the time. [1] In Norway, much derided for their lavish prisons, it's 20%. [2]

Throwing people away and treating them like animals is an abject failure, compounded by the mandatory fill rates in private prison contracts. [3] It's time to revisit the whole system, top down, and make it less about punishment and more about making sure it doesn't happen again. And it should be done with data.

I feel the D5xxx series 5300, 5500 hit the sweet spot for me as a quasi casual photographer with its price, picture quality, amazing battery life and lightish weighing body. Felt slightly overpriced at $800 with 2 lenses for my budget. So far so good.
It's a spying tool for American corporations far more than it is one for the government.
Maybe I looked crazy walking back and forth like some trapped animal . . .

If you see an animal pacing back and forth in a cage, it is generally considered neurotic behaviour and a sign that the cage/enclosure is too small. My point being that it probably did make him slightly crazy and that solitary confinement is psychological torture.

Does anyone actually use an unconfigured instance of vim for actual development?

I can see for people sshing in, editing a file and getting back out without bothering, but you'd have to be a quite a purist to do all your development in an unconfigured Vim.

You can yank and modify existing lines which will keep your YAML spaces.

For years I never used Vim to develop full time so never invested the time to setup my vimrc file. But now that I use it for development and spent the time to set up my vimrc, it's brilliant to be able to just take the goodness with you.
The "trusting trust" argument is wholly unconvincing for the reasons nickpsecurity mentioned. There are too many moving pieces in this equation already, and piling on "moving to a new architecture" on top of everything else just doesn't make sense.

So that leaves just independence, which you solved right in your comment: use an existing compiler with a new backend to cross-compile itself. If your compiler is portable this still means the only thing you need to write is the new backend.

Thanks for the extra input. The concept sort of exists, but is not easy to understand or is accessible for most people imho. The closest app was Pact in 2012-14, which had huge success, but now appears to be abandoned.

This is really great input. I agree that the charities would have to be delicately balanced in order to be motivating and tasteful at the same time. There are a lot of ways it could go wrong.

What would you think about, instead of the charities having the money go into a bank that you could earn back over time. Say after a month you've paid $50 in penalties, each time you're active you earn a portion of that back. Also, let's say there's attrition on the funds over time, you only have so much time to earn the money back before it's gone for good? This is a 4th option that's been coming up after talking to others.

p.s. another thought could be that your friends can steal your bucks if they're hitting more of their goals than you?
Nope definitely not joking. They are offering 1.20%. It's craziness. Meanwhile banks like Chase are at like .11 or something.
Everyone is kicking the blame elsewhere. First, the banks, then lack of regulations, then too-much regulations, then imperfect regulations, then corruptible regulators, then finally the people that don't participate in politics.

The more I follow politics, and the media in general, I am leaning towards describing the entire thing as a giant soap opera where the media only "comments" or "gossips" instead of reporting facts and assigning provable blame. Everyone just passes off blame, no one really can hold anyone else accountable, and the cycle just repeats constantly. This is a fault of the system in that it allows blame to be passed along like that. The problem never really being addressed, just half-assed by each batch of politicians so that they can simultaneously take some blame, take some credit for trying, and also not be held accountable in any way.

A reliable early warning system for pancreatic cancer is highly sought after because the disease progresses so quickly once detected. If caught while still confined to the pancreas it can often be cured by surgery, but the large majority of patients are already metastatic before symptoms appear.

The one-year relative survival rate after diagnosis is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7%. In the US it is the 4th most common cause of death from cancer, and kills more than half a million people per year worldwide.

If you're defining Linux as the free-for-all open source community product, you're inherently defining why it will never take off for the casual user. That's not who that's for and that's not what the casual user does.
Maybe I shouldn't post this online, but this is one of my biggest fears. Just, being trapped somewhere, alone with your thoughts, with nothing to do.

As a counter to that, I have friends in London and I didn't think to check in on them. Somebody would have called/texted/emailed if those friends were in trouble. As said above "no news is good news".
It seems unlikely given that Amazon has been rapidly scaling up the services they offer, with some of them conveniently taking the form of companies who run their entire operation on AWS (i.e. Twilio with AWS Contact Center).

If somebody can prove me wrong, however, that would be lovely :)

Regardless though, expecting Amazon to refrain from taking the proprietary information they have access to (in any form) and drilling you into the ground with their own twist on it seems like a bad bet, just ask Nucleus.
I agree strongly.

"It works" is an encoding of, "I can write tests which perform correctly" and not "My code is stable in the face of aggressive input."

Go definitely follows along with C in this tradition. It's better than C, because you have slightly more safety interpreting memory as executable and in bounds checking. However, it does very little to stop destructive bugs or let programmers escape copy-paste code hell where regressions keep resurfacing because it's most expedient to copy-paste code.
I always found the faith in the revered interpretations of some constitutional document written centuries ago, and the respect for the "Founding Fathers" not as historical figures, but as some kind of guiding lights for today, totally bizarro.

Even the name "Founding Fathers" and the way it's thrown around seems quite bizarre for a democracy. It's the people, and the will of the people, that should be respected, not what some long gone luminaries said.
But does it run Linux?

If not then good luck writing code to page out to that 512k of RAM. I do wonder what the 1980 computer scene would have been like if 512k was there because that was the smallest amount available, instead of the normal 16k. It was only when the PC came along that this amount of memory was available. PC programs took a while to be as concisely optimised as home computer code had to be. So maybe the scarcity of RAM was a good thing.
There is no such thing as a truly "objective" benchmark, even for something as simple as a set of headphones. A DSLR camera is an order of magnitude more complex - it seems even less likely we'd be able to establish one for them.
C++ did not have templates when the first commercial compilers shipped and the first books were published. It got templates around 1990, five years after the first release of a commercial C++ compiler and the first publication of "The C++ Programming Language".

I was pretty wary of the new mbp because of the initial negative posts.. but figured I may as well give it a shot, so I've also had mine since a few weeks after they came out.

In my own opinion all the negative attention was correct. It's not at all unusable, but it's been strictly worse than the previous generation.

The lack of tactile feedback on the touchbar makes me have to look at the keyboard to use it which is a step back. It also doesn't attempt to verify that i'm actually trying to press a button which makes them easier to accidentally press than a real button.

The keyboard is okay, but the buttons occasionally stick and require finagling to fix, typing is marginally slower and less friendly on my wrists than the previous gen.

I preferred using actual right click on my trackpad and on the newer version that's entirely impractical and I have not seen any benefit to the size increase.

None of my issues are dealbreakers and I'm sure most people find the new version to be fantastic.
I'm happy as can be with the Audio Technica ATH-M50x; reasonably priced (somewhere near the $100 mark), built like a tank (granted, a plastic tank, but still...), incredibly comfy, detachable cord.

But you're not allowed to do better in the presence of the state. The regulations essentially dictate the way that you have to do things, which is the way that the banks are currently doing it. And you have very little chance of competing with them at that level.
Which body and kit did you get? I found the D5300 kit (18-55 VR, 70-300) for $600 new on Amazon.

(Incidentally, that 70-300 has a surprising resale value! I traded mine in at Service Photo toward a 70-300 VR II, and was very surprised to get $120 for it instead of the $50 or so I was expecting for an unstabilized kit lens with no meaningful secondhand market. Granted, that's one small shop in one town, but if anything I'd expect it to be low, considering that Service Photo is very much geared to the professional end and likely has the revenue problems of any small business.)

(Further incidentally, I had a chance for a hands-on with a D5500 recently, and found it rather distasteful. The touchscreen seems nice, but would easily be nose-triggered when using the viewfinder, so you'd need to fold the screen in and out all the time, and it does not offer any of the PSAM modes on the selector dial! It's light and easy to maneuver, but all the same, I was glad I'd gone with the previous model.)
It's not so bad if you shop around. T-Mobile has a PAYG SIM card that is $30/month for 5GB of data, unlimited texts and 100 minutes of calls.

I suspect part of the difference in price is due to geography - the US has vast, vast areas of unpopulated land that people still want to receive cell coverage in. Europe has less of that. It would be interesting to see the customer response to a new US network that I'd cheaper but only covers major metro areas.
The victimless crime argument has never been very persuasive for me. Its lack of persuasion stems from how such things 'cover' a much wider gamut than a few cherry picked situations, and how it ignores the very real victims that are often created by the activities.

Money laundering, by its definition, is the act of concealing the source or purpose of funds for the purposes of evading taxation or concealing other illegal activities.

I don't really have a dog in this race but it would seem reasonable for there to be a process whereby if a driver cannot continue there is an automatic way for uber to pick the passenger up and take them to their destination as part of the service. I would probably expect such a thing simply because it feels like the most reasonable thing to happen next.
