It may be easier to verbalize than we think. I just realized that for me the trick might be to not be too abstract and formal when first thinking it out, but look at it more like an everyday problem.

Instead of this:

"Given two appointments, one that starts at time A and ends at time B and another that starts at time C and ends at time D, how can I tell if they conflict?"

More like this:

"I need to run another errand while I'm in town for the interview. I can either do it after the interview, or if I do it first, I'd better be done before the interview."

That gives me something concrete to think about so I can make sure I am on the right track and won't miss my interview! And from there it's a pretty easy path to working out the detailed formula. If I jump into the abstract description right away I'm a lot more likely to confuse myself.

It's pretty conventional in these types of cases. I've received a similar C&D and read several others and they all invoke the CFAA. It seems boilerplate for C&D related to online activities.

The CFAA makes it unlawful to exceed authorized access to any protected computer system (essentially, any computer in the United States). If someone claims that you've violated their ToS, they almost always also claim that by so doing, you've also violated the CFAA, since your access "exceeded authorization" as granted within the ToS, which they'll claim you've agreed to.

Now your breach of contract is upgraded to a federal crime. Better hope you don't make the wrong MegaCorp mad.

It was intended to continue to grow with population, I copied this from a previous comment of mine bc I'm lazy:

"The U.S. Constitution called for at least one Representative per state and that no more than one for every 30,000 persons." [1]

The Appointment Act of 1911 and subsequent Permanent Appointment Act of 1929 capped the total number of House congressional representatives at 435 [2], so the degree of seperation between an individual elector and their representative in any given congressional district continues to grow as population increases. This also has an effect on the Electoral College, as it's membership numbers are based on the number of congress persons. Furthermore, I will assume this limit, combined with a growing population will increase the chances of a Presidential Candidate winning election without also winning the national popular vote, as we have seen on multiple occasions in recent decades.

I also caught some discussion about it on NPR. One argument, even as I am just as cynical as above poster; is that the Republicans did such a good job gerrymandering that best case they can keep their status quo and more than likely; they will be worse off. This was iirc because they balanced the demographics do well with their support base and any restructuring will actually hurt them. Based on the NPR bit which seemed to make a reasonable argument to me; an uniformed person, potentially they could back something like this.
Hydrodynamic Levitation
Anyone who lives in the Bay Area owes it to themselves to visit some of these areas. The Santa Cruz Mountain communities and Coastal communities are amazing, and close by.

As far as the contents of the article, well, there is an affordable housing crisis just about everywhere in and near the Bay Area. People commute from as far away as Tracy, Los Banos, Modesto, Stockton, and even Sacramento into the Bay Area. Its understandable that these beautiful, relatively close by communities are seeing housing prices quickly become unaffordable for those who live there. As someone working in Silicon Valley, I'd much sooner live in La Honda, Half Moon Bay, or the other assorted coastal and Santa Cruz mountain communities than the cities in the San Joaquin Valley.

Apple Begins Selling Refurbished Apple Pencil for $85
Does each voter have a particular representative they can express their opinion to? As I see it, calls from constituents is an influence on politicians because they know these are the people who they depend on. I don't know how it works in Germany so maybe there's a provision for this.

Also, the unintended consequence of such an electoral system is that it encourages extreme views, rather than moving towards the centre. Of course gerrymandered districts have the same effect, but centrism is worth striving for, I think. It ensures that a majority of people have a candidate who isn't far from their own views. You can see how proportional representation would help parties like the UKIP do far better than they otherwise would have, which is not necessarily in the best interests of the nation.

The whole supply thing always struck me a very fine balancing act overall, Nintendo were aiming for a limited supply but by underestimating demand it looked crazier than it really was.

If Nintendo released enough Mini-NESs last year to match the demand, by this point right now there would be thousands upon thousands of them lying around doing nothing and being resold for every decreasing prices. Most people surely bought it because the box was cute and/or it was a remarkably easy gift for someone, I can't imagine many of them are getting much use right now.

With an awareness they're no longer on sale and somewhat in-demand, people are going to less likely to get rid of theirs. By not satisfying demand they're managing to avoid long-term damage to the value of NES nostalgia.

Along with that, not only would saturating the market effectively kill the chances of simply rereleasing it for another wave of hype and high sales in a few years, it'd also potentially greatly cripple the market value of the games on the machine. Nintendo have made a killing from re-releasing Super Mario Bros alone over and over, if it's on the virtual store right now I imagine it's gotta be at least $5. That's achieved by treating it like a thing of value, not the kind of thing you find on some cheap "RETRO CLASSICS" type bundle, preventing the NES-mini from feeling disposable helps prevent the games on it from feeling worthless.

TL;DR? They're doing an approach which has worked very effectively for another company in the entertainment industry http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Disney_Vault
You are for certain correct, there is a strong need for such a device, the only reason it doesn't exist I'm sure is because there is no way to advertise on it. This is why I funded the Pebble and Pebble Core. I anticipated the Pebble to be the next big utilitarian notification device, and the Core (headless Smartphone) to potentially inspire a new type of minimal, even colorless smartphone that you describe. Unfortunately, they ran out of money. I still use my Pebble and it is a fantastic replacement to all my notifications on my smartphone, without any of the unnecessary HD graphics.

Dolphin Developer Resurrects Incomplete Wii Feature
If you consider an FPGA board real hardware, then yes, I've run MMIX programs, including graphics, on real hardware: https://github.com/tommythorn/fpgammix Caveats: this is some of the worst Verilog I've even written; I was explicitly racing ahead learning about MMIX as I went along. In the end I had a large subset (integer usermode) when I abandoned it. As much as I wanted to like it, it's really a pretty terrible architecture from most perspectives: it's impossible to scale down, hard to scale up, and nearly impossible to generate good code for. In contrast, RISC-V is IMO the nicest RISC ISA ever design.
But . . . substantial effort is already being put in globally. Not enough by far, but much more than zero. This would seem to put the lie to your claim that nothing will be done until there is no choice, by contradiction.
You're probably right about the WaPo article being the trigger. I received a C&D from a massive company shortly after a mainstream news outlet covered a competitor that was engaging in shady tactics. As the entire sector depended on non-copyrightable factual data that was only available from the large company's site, everyone was shut down by a wave of C&Ds that hit over a span of 3 days.

Makes me wonder if PR firms are complicit with large companies looking to shut down small players. They feed a story upstream to someone and then the company can pursue legal action without looking petty or like they're picking on the little guy, providing some defense against the negative PR of "punching down" while still allowing them to accomplish their goal of harassing/silencing defenseless bloggers and entrepreneurs.

May also help them if they get to the stage of assessing damages, since they can say "This was not just some obscure thing in the corner that nobody noticed; they got national press exposure."
What happened is that the world is flat state, and you are free to displace models in violation of any perceived hierarchy because any such hierarchy is entirely artificial.

Not sure about unwritten rules, but it's usually not a very good idea anyways. If you're down by a lot, you're going to need so many people to get on base that you're going to have ended up scoring anyways, so it's generally not worth the risk of an out unless you think that the risk of a double play is higher than you getting thrown out.

> IKEA's concept is, to quote them, "providing a range of home furnishing products that are affordable to the many people, not just the few." while Apple is about premium end.

No, no. You've bought in to Apple's marketing (as they want you to). Apple sells nice enough devices at high enough prices that they feel premium, but are still accessible to practically everyone. Their pitch isn't "we sell premium devices", it's "if you stretch a little more, and buy this phone, then you too could feel like you're premium".
Great Britain had become a constitutional monarchy and rough parliamentary democracy (and Great Britain, for that matter...Scotland and England merged soon after) with the Glorious Revolution of 1688. British politics in the mid-1700s was a contact sport, and many of the upper-class colonists who would become the Founding Fathers spent their formative years watching Britain wrestle with what it means to be a democracy. Many of the principles in the Constitution come from bitter experience, and are direct reactions to misbehavior on the part of colonial governors, magistrates, or members of parliament.

There are certainly parts of the Constitution that are woefully out-of-date, but it's not really true that it was written in a vacuum, nor that the United States was the first democracy for two thousand years.

Looks like nothing to me

I typically try to avoid state machines.
I like to have a function like
model = reduce(model, event)
where model is an environment of variable:value bindings.
This function then just uses (if expr/else if expr) to find a condition in which to process the event. Processing the event involves changing the values in the model environment.
I suppose on some level the two approaches are the same, but they feel and look different to me. If the "if/else if" pattern is deeply nested, then this is kind of like traversing a state machine to reach the correct state for processing the event. So in this case maybe a state machine is more efficient. However, a state machine, involves a history. You really need an external diagram. You need to see how you get to a state and how you transition out of a state. An "if/else if" type approach puts all the decision making in the code right in front of me. I don't need a diagram. The "if/else if" approach is often much more concise as the expressions are a powerful modeling approach. Finally, I prefer to avoid deeply nested if/else if" conditions, because it can be a chore to traverse the tree and really understand the path taken to get to the event handling spot. If the conditions can be written as linear list of rules where each rule can be thought about in isolation, I find this easier. This often involves repeating test conditions. Just flatten the decision tree by repeating the preconditions. This is again less efficient, but if you save the results of the expression computations then it becomes a simple test of Boolean values. I like to think of this approach as a rules engine instead of a state machine. A state machine encodes information in the state diagram so that it doesn't need to be stored in variables. The rules engine encodes all the knowledge in variables and rules.

No, there isn't, TCP is end-to-end, and can only be closed by the endpoints.

If you use iptables (or rather netfilter)'s stateful filter, then netfilter will forget the connection tracking state of the connection after a long-ish time without any traffic (may be 5 days, I don't remember). That doesn't close anything, it simply means that netfilter doesn't know about the connection anymore. No packets are being sent when that happens.

That in turn has two effects:

First, if you have a rule that only allows packets through for established connections, that rule will now not match packets from that connection anymore. But if the packet matches another rule that allows it to pass, then it will still make it through the firewall, and as a side effect that would then re-establish the connection tracking state, which in turn would also make the rule for established connections match again for any packets that follow.

So, in most cases, that's not in any way a problem: The next packet your client sends after a long idle time will just re-establish the connection tracking state and the connection will continue to work just fine.

Second, if the connection is NATted, the NAT state is part of the connection tracking state, and as such, the NAT mapping of the connection is also lost when the state is dropped. That means that the next packet (if it comes from the right direction) will once again consult the nat table, just as the very first packet of the connection, to establish a new NAT mapping. Now, in many cases, that will establish a new mapping that's exactly the same as the old mapping, in which case the connection also will continue to work just fine. Only if the new NAT mapping differs, that will cause the connection to fail. Yet another reason why you don't want to have NAT (and by extension, why you want IPv6).

Also, netfilter very much is in the kernel.

Deutsche Telekom (AS3320) has a 2003::/19.
That's true when we are talking about /48s. There are enough /48s to hand out to everyone (and then everyone gets 65K networks to work with). In the current Global Unicast space (prefixes starting with 001) there are 2^45 /48s. Effectively unlimited number, as there are 2^33 people on earth - so everyone would get 2^12 /48s.

There are 2^21 /24s in the existing Global Unicast Space. About 2 million. A large number, to be sure. But if every entity in the world MITs size asked for a /24, we'd start burning through them pretty quickly....

Assuming you don’t pass 100% of on site interviews or you don’t take the first offer immediately, triplebyte will save you some amount of time. Beyond the force multiplier for pre-onsite interviews, they also can predict which companies you will have a higher success rate with for your on site. It’s not a guaranteed slam dunk for every single person (and you still have to pass their process) but I think the value proposition is pretty obvious to most people.
My apartment-life rib making method is to sous vide for 48 hours in a custom dry rub and liquid smoke, then finishing in the oven to caramelize the sugars and proteins.

It's much more trouble to fix proper sides. They're so inexpensive, too.
The US is a democracy, albeit a flawed one. The only criteria for being a democracy is having the ability to elect your rulers.
