I am pretty sure that only applies to certain federal agents - while under investigation, and on forms that are official submissions.

There are, as near as I recall, certain other specific lies that are in the State's jurisdiction, such as giving the police a fake name. Something like 15 years ago, SCOTUS also ruled against a guy who refused to give the police his name when he was questioned.

For the most part, you can tell a regular cop all sorts of lies, with some exceptions like your name. Lying to the FBI is against the law, if you're being questioned in regards to a criminal matter - I am unsure about civil matters. You sure as hell can't lie on the forms you sign when you cross the border. No, they will be right pissed if you do that.

I am not a lawyer, but I have spent some time in court, dated a lawyer, and taken a few electives on the subject. So, this isn't legal advice but I'm pretty sure this is reasonably accurate.

Sort of off topic, they pick students to hold mock trials, hearings, etc., and do this in a mock courtroom at many universities. If you audit the right course, you can volunteer and you can learn all sorts of neat things. You can also just go sit in the courtroom at your local court. It's open to the public, most of the time. It's a great way to learn more about procedure.

Anyhow, like always, consult a qualified legal professional in your jurisdiction, should you need legal advice.

They don't. From the Telegram FAQ:

"Cloud chats are stored encrypted in the Telegram Cloud, and the keys needed to decipher this data are kept in other data centers in different jurisdictions. This way, local intruders or engineers can't access this data, and several court orders from different jurisdictions are required to force us to give up anything. Thanks to this structure, we can ensure that no single government or block of like-minded countries can intrude on people's privacy and freedom of expression."[1]

I agree that his comment didn't add all that much, but I think the snark on your end was a bit more distracting and irrelevant than his comment, and honestly his comment was kind of on topic. This site is thankfully strictly moderated and usually the discussion in the comments is very on topic, jumping at the chance to be smug like that degrades the quality of conversation much farther then being semi-relevant with a bit of a joke.

I wonder about that. Stores sell powder for making regular milk into chocolate milk. But maybe some people haven't noticed that.

The amendment also covers "prepaid access devices", which is apparently the technically-specific way to talk about things like prepaid Visa cards. Quote:

>A prepaid access program is an arrangement through which one or more persons acting together provide access to funds or the value of funds that have been paid in advance and can be retrieved or transferred at some point in the future through an electronic device or vehicle, such as a card, code, electronic serial number, mobile identification number, or personal identification number.

https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/bulletins/2011/bull...

So basically, the grandparent is asserting that the main thrust of the bill is the amendments that make prepaid cards covered.

Harvard Extension's approach is, rather than have students jump through a lot of hoops to gain admission on the front end and hope that lightning strikes their application, let students prove they can do Harvard-level work through a number of so-called admissions courses (which double as courses in their degree program), and use THOSE as the basis for admission. It is a much better method than the very noisy GPA/GRE combo, in my opinion.

Although the courses I take have a distance ed option, I fly to campus every 4 - 6 weeks and spend a week in lecture in person - it is a better way to connect with my classmates and the professors than doing pure distance work. It's great to be around so many smart, hardworking people - when I started class there I was taken aback a little because I thought: "Where do these people come from, who are involved in a dozen projects at a time and seem to work 24 hours a day." And then it hit me: Oh WAIT - that's ME!

Most people either haven't heard of the Extension School and, if they have, have no idea it has been around for a century. Oxford University runs a similar concept - it is almost a bolt for bolt replica of the Extension School, but it's in England.
Not surprising in the slightest. US corporatocracy has always exploited vassal states, by showing utmost lack of safety and ethics.

There was Ecuador, where once Torrijos was "knocked out", the Standard Oil siblings went in and in their greed leaked millions of barrels of crude and waste chemicals into the Amazon. There is India, where Bhopal victims were paid a pittance, and continue to die from the after effects. Russia, where resources formerly under public ownership was sold off in rigged auctions to US (or equivalently Boris Yeltsin) approved oligarchs. If the American media (and probably more importantly, it's pop-culture figures) spent half as much time on introspecting as they did on selling 'human rights', we'd have a better world.

But hey, a better world would mean the corporatocracy would have less money.. why bother ?

Seriously though, John Perkins' book 'Confessions of an Economic Hit man' is a wonderful read for the 'conspiracy theorist'.

This is weird, not just because you forgot how many American continents there are, but because when people get bothered about calling the USA "America," it usually turns out to be because they consider America to be a single continent, north and south together, whose name the USA is usurping. If you prefer dividing it into North America and South America, then there's no confusion with plain America.

In other words, you should have said "Not the whole one continent."
Yup, we already had all of that in Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS, hence why I never saw any value in C back in 1993.

On those days outside UNIX, C was just yet another systems language, with most home micros being written mostly in Assembly.

Also Turbo Pascal OOP features were adopted from Apple's Object Pascal, used to write the initial versions of Lisa, Mac OS and known software like Photoshop.
That's a very insightful article, and I look forward to using "the Lizardman's Constant" in conversation.

(Now, if you'd said roads, bridges, dams, and basic research, you might have a point...ostensibly there is bipartisan interest in infrastructure repairs this term, we'll see if they get it done.)

The point of Keynesian spending is that as productivity increases, markets tend to saturate, and money ends up in the hands of those with a lower marginal propensity to consume. Redistribution - by any means, whether it's welfare, infrastructure, basic income, or defense spending - puts money back in the hands of those with a higher propensity to consume, which then raises aggregate demand and raises total economic output.
I've got a notebook of stone paper that I bought from a local office supplier which I use for general note taking. It's not the brand in the article however. Writing on stone paper feels quite amazing. The pen just glides over the paper, and the paper feels very high quality. It's waterproof and doesn't tear like normal paper (when you pull it apart it pulls like a flimsy elastic plastic that eventually rips). I thoroughly enjoy using it.

Watch your reaction while you realise that you've likely committed an offence if you deny it, etc.

One day in the near future, they likely have algorithms giving them a likelihood that you fit the type, and that will suggest their line of questioning - whether it's about data storage or propensity to work while on a tourist visa, or whatever else.

In the short term I imagine it will work, but I don't think it will work forever.

You're technically wrong, but your concept is right. BCrypt and SCrypt are originally designed to be slow.

Given the features of Go, Google could have used Algol 68 instead, or Active Oberon just to refer something modern, and still make those wonderful products you mention.

Which are still a minority compared with the amount of Google products written in Python, Java, C++ or even Dart.

So, all the products were already conceivable in some 30 year old languages.

Are you arguing laws against money laundering are immoral? Because they are a practical requirement in order to levy any type of income tax. Or are you claiming that Silk Road style sites are only illegal because of immoral laws? I get that the HN crowd generally has a libertarian and anti-prohibition bent, but outside of illicit drugs there are some inarguably horrible things being sold on those sites like child porn and murders for hire. Doesn't the government and law enforcement have a moral requirement to combat that?
Delta IV Heavy is comparable to the (upcoming) Falcon Heavy (though again, due to the capabilities of Centaur, DIVH will be able to fly missions that FH cannot).

The Delta Cryogenic Second Stage is not a Centaur. Yes, it uses the same propellants and a related (though not identical) RL-10 engine. The tanks are very different, though, and those are arguably the most unique thing about Centaur: pressure-stabilised ("ballon") tanks made of stainless steel, plus a common bulkhead between fuel and oxidiser tanks make for a very good propellant mass fraction.
It's also a bit of an ambiguous term. The more classical idea was a market free from economic rents and monopolies, whereas now the term is more understood to mean free from regulation and free for rent-seekers to do what ever they want...

Interesting piece and well-written but being brutally honest there is not too much new information here. I appreciate the effort you put it but I really think the focus for new people learning Vim shouldn't be studying the keymaps it should be USING them, STRUGGLING with them and somebody pointing out "Hey why are you using the arrow keys? Try pressing <fti>!" and then they go "Oh wow!".

I once showed a friend Vim and he was really excited. When I saw him edit some text he used -- to my horror -- the arrow keys! I kept watching and at a certain point said "Ok now stop, try pressing <...>" and he listened to me and he was like "Oh boy that is awesome!".

And maybe a suggestion is to put ":imap kj <Esc>" somewhere in the beginning I honestly think that keymap is SO much better than escape.

Sorry for bashing you a little bit I do appreciate the effort but I feel like the web is already quite saturated with these Vim tutorials!

"Also keep in mind unionization is a freedom which is currently being infringed! I firmly believe that organizations should be able to draw up agreements with another!"

Here is why this is incorrect.

It is illegal to fire someone for joining a union. This is a right that all workers have.

For the same reason that it is illegal to fire someone for joining a union, it should be illegal to fire someone for NOT joining a union.

So take you pick. If you want full freedom of association, sure, lets do that. You can make whatever contracts you want, but you can also be fired for it, (ie legalize firing people for joining a union). I think I would be happy with this outcome, to be honest.

But as long as union people are receiving this protection, NON-union people should receive the SAME protection.

Paper is a declining consumer of wood. "Peak paper" was years ago, after print newspapers tanked. There are many abandoned paper mills, if you want one. It's possible to make paper from rice hulls (works fine, and common in China, but a bit hard as a writing surface), kenaf (works, but nobody bothers), and hemp (niche product for potheads).

It's just not a problem.
Not correct, the frequency of multiples of 12 in human counting is thought to be because of the lunar cycle and that each human hand has 12 phalanges -- aka finger bones -- in the fingers excluding the thumb. See how the Chinese count to ten on one hand, using a combination of thumb and fingers, bent for some numbers, for six to ten. There are very few languages with a duodecimal system.
Link in-house development team to company revenue?
Working in a non-IT company isn't easy in a sense that shareholders find it hard to justify expenses on tools / platforms, better resources altogether.

We have a small software development team and its currently considered as overhead while budgeting for the year.

Have you every been in this situation and tried to link work done in-house to revenue generated by the company? I want to do this because its hard to get salary raise and even harder to get funds for better tools.

Cheers,

What is fast – without reaching into the Text object internal representation – is good old tail-call recursion. And you can even integrate the length check into the traversal! Making it an O(min(n,m)) operation in total.

I am a Ryzen user, actually built my Ryzen system on its release day. For your claims on Xeon's bugs, just wondering when was the last time Intel had to patch the microcode to fix bugs that can continuously crashing day to day workloads such as compiling some linux packages?

In case you don't fully understand the situation - when Ryzen was released, it doesn't work with many memory modules on the consumer market, as of today, for pretty high probability, you still don't get the top speed of RAM you paid for, it crashes on day to day compilation jobs, the AMD GPIO linux module maintained/contributed by AMD is too buggy to run on Gigabytes motherboards, oh, let's don't forget the FMA3 bug.

Downplaying the issues causing troubles for Ryzen users do not get Ryzen better.

Precisely where they went wrong:

In practice, the speed of recovery is typically bottlenecked by the incoming bandwidth of the recovering server, which is easily exceeded by the outgoing read bandwidth of the other servers, so this limitation is typically not a big deal in practice.

If you're recovering to one server, you're going to have a bad time. With random distribution, you recover to every server, equally, over a very short period of time. The tradeoff is that you'll have a lot of churn, as temporary failures cause a lot of data to be rereplicated, and then extra copies deleted as the come back online. On the other hand, this helps balance your utilization and load.

The actual insight is that you want failure domain anti-affinity; That is, if you have 1000 servers on 50 network switches, you want your replica selection algorithm to use not three different machines at random, but three different switches at random. If you have three different AZ's, for each copy, put one replica in each of the three. Copysets can provide this, but as stated in the article, they're much more likely to give you Achilles heels - A typical failure won't hurt, won't have any unavailability - But the wrong one, and you go down hard, with N% dataloss rather than thousandths of a percent dataloss.

In short - Failures happen. Recovering from them is what matters, not convincing yourself that they can't happen.
Let me know when you've watched their WWDC talks from this year on privacy and security. Especially privacy.

You could do previous years too and those would be complementary, not redundant, but that's quite a time commitment and a lot to ask. Just this year's would be a really great start. Then I'd love to hear what you think after that.

Yeah they won't be completely open source any time soon, that's a nice dream, lol. But imho you should open your mind to learning about what they are doing now, before being so negative and down on them.
If we build enough desalination plants, there'd be no such thing as [fresh] water shortage; 2/3rds of the planet is covered in it.

My understanding is that the current 'memristor' technologies are essentially combinations of materials which satisfy the linkage between flux and charge, thereby meeting the definition.

From the same wikipedia article:

> There is no such thing as a standard memristor. Instead, each device implements a particular function, wherein the integral of voltage determines the integral of current, and vice versa. A linear time-invariant memristor, with a constant value for M, is simply a conventional resistor.[1] Manufactured devices are never purely memristors (ideal memristor), but also exhibit some capacitance and resistance.

Just reading the 'Background' and following 'Memristor definition and criticism' sections gives a super clear and lucid answer that even a goober like me can mostly degest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor#Background
Another example, even more bare-bones, is AI.

We now have programs that "understand" certain domains better than humans. And yet there are no "simple terms" to explain their understanding, reduce it to a neat closed-form formula.

Isn't it a mistake to assume a nice, elegant explanation, a cute human "narrative", must always exist?

"But Radim, the computers don't really understand the domain!". Sorry, a cop out, No True Scotsman fallacy. In what way do they not?

This is crystal clear with Go: the little stories humans have built to deepen their understanding of the game over 2,000 years are irrelevant to a game's outcome. The details and variations are all that matters, and there is no way to reach the computer's level of understanding of the game without understanding the details.
