Is that a US thing? I know this advice is given to teachers and such here, but colleagues? Quite a few of the people who worked at my company had relarions and/or married (with kids a lot of them) because of office flirtations; some love at first sight. I guess if it is a common thing then yours is good advice but I would not exactly like to work in such a paranoid environment, especially with people who should be my peers.

Very useful.

Is the issue then that there is a discrepancy between property rights and access rights that needs the CA Supreme Court to resolve?

The Denny's (previous owners) used to CHARGE for access to the beach, presumably supporting the case that access through this path is not a right.

Source: "Joan Gallo, a former San Jose city attorney who represents the land owner, agreed that the courts should weigh in. The Deeneys had run a private business, she said, allowing invitees of their choosing onto the property, and that hadn't changed.

"It seems to us that it's an important issue to be litigated," Gallo said. "I have a strong belief that the Constitution doesn't require you to give up property rights or conduct a business you don't want to conduct."

Mark Massara — a surfer and attorney who is working with McClosky and the law firm Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy on the case — said he believed the constitutional arguments have merit. But since that approach could drag on for years (think Geffen), his team opted for "a very narrow strike to the heart of this thing."
He believes aging is a disease, evolutionary malfunction.

Why should personal consumption, or possession with intent to consume personally, ever be criminalized? No matter how harmful the substance is to the person, the basic principle of bodily autonomy (you know, the same one that dictates abortions to be legal) applies here.

The only reasonable exception I can see is substances that alter behavior in a way that's likely to endanger other people (e.g. those that induce aggression). Ironically, though, alcohol would be relatively high on that list compared to most everything else.
Nobody here is proposing privatizing the entire coast. Apparently I hold the most extreme views in this thread and my example was 2% of the coastline. Do you think things would be worse if 98% of the coastline was public and millions more in tax revenue went to social programs?
NodeJS is only sexy if you prefer weird unprotected sex.

NodeJS leverages the advanced V8 JIT and async operation in its crudest form. It's good for certain classes of tasks (a lot of I/O with simple logic around it), but not as great for the more general case.

OTOH Typescript can alleviate many of the problems of JS proper, the execution model is still a bit uncomfortable. I'd rather take Erlang /Elixir for the typical Node case.
I agree somewhat but I think it's a wider social problem - the society in general not really looking down on this kind of behavior. Especially from Americans, you often hear stuff like:

- the company has a duty to make the most money possible legally for its shareholders, so we shouldn't criticize them for doing something shitty as long as it doesn't break the law

- the employee can't be expected to lose their job over ethics, so no matter how shitty what they did was, they get a pass

So when a company does something shitty, nobody did anything wrong, as long as it was legal! The employees have to feed their children, the higher-ups have to do what's best for shareholders, and the shareholders are too detached from the company to blame.

Consider how sad it is that a massive amount of people literally holds the view that a financial incentive makes otherwise unethical behavior OK. Nobody will say that the fact that cheating on your wife is legal means it's ethical. But as long as you are getting paid for doing something shitty, it's not seen as unethical as long as it's perfectly legal by a lot of people.

When people who are not even benefiting from them are defending shitty actions, you can't expect better from the people who are benefiting, as they have an additional incentive to be unethical.

The idea that an economic incentive is an excuse to do something shitty needs to go away.
Yes, that seems to be the sentiment. And that sentiment is puzzling to me.
This is California. California has a court system, and the property owner has access to the courts. Given the price of land in Los Altos, I suspect money to go to court is not a problem. So, where exactly is the banana republic?

I think the point was that you cannot implement this particular function in C - a function that forwards arguments to other functions, given a particular standard ABI. You've changed the requirements by saying that now the other functions use a different ABI, so you've missed the point of why it's impossible to implement this function, in these circumstances, in C.
I would question whether you can know the ROI of all marketing channels before you've tested them.
BS4, requests and dataset are my go-to tools for simple scraping. Back when Bethesda pulled the paid mod nonsense on the Steam store I wrote a simple scraper to track and digest the changes people were making to their Skyrim reviews so I could tease out who was most offended, core fans with a lot of hours logged on the game or people who were just piling on the outrage bandwagon. I should dig back into that data some time.

Anyway, got the whole thing done in about 200 lines. Not bad to scrape 50,000 pages. Fun times.
Literal black swans are common in parts of Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan
Well I do think the F35 and carrier approach is very soon to be outdated. Which is also why there's zero chance we're going to order thousands of F35s; 10 years out, they'll already be wanting to kill that program to replace it with something else as the obvious inbound threats to traditional fighters (various cheap autonomous tech) become more blatant. That of course won't stop them from spending as you know.

The carriers are not hard to sink; they never really have been for a major opponent. China and Russia have been able to sink them for a long time. They're not for fighting adversaries that can sink them. They're force projection, intimidation, and for fighting countries that aren't Russia or China. Carriers will be useful in their present role for a few decades to come yet (their current role is not for potentially fighting Russia or China; anyone that thinks that is seriously confused). Military tier nations in the capability realm of Iran, might pose a real threat to carriers in 15-20 years. The trick with US carriers, is that anyone (again, not named Russia or China) that actually sinks one has a full scale war with the US on their hands. In that sense, carriers are a taunting device: you can try to sink one, but if you succeed, your country is going to be massively attacked (you're going to trade sinking a carrier for losing all your airports, your power grid is going to be taken down, your airforce is going to be neutralized, your economy is going to grind to a halt, etc).
It doesn't matter if you stop it on most exchanges. You have to stop it on every single exchange in the world.

As long as there is a single way of converting Monero to Bitcoin, or any other crytocurrency to Bitcoin, then everyone will just use that.

You don't even need a way to convert Monero to USD. All you need is a single output method to ANY other crytocurrency.

How do you stop an exchange that is run over tor in a different country?

You can stop them from transacting in USD, but you cannot stop them from transacting in crytocurrencies.
That's a hell of a lot of infrastructure just to link two end-points at opposite ends of the continent. Any train going that route is not going to be an express, and more stops significantly affect average speed.

Does that six hours include travel to the airport, check-in, security clearance, boarding, deplaning, baggage collection, and travel from the destination airport back into the city?

If you factor in all this extra stuff, it looks more like 9-10 hours.
They really need to build high speed rail across the east coast of Australia. We've talked about it in this country for so long and yet nothing is happening.

Someone just bought R2-D2 for over $2M dollars
So you're spending a bunch of money to build a route - and how many stops do you have in between dragging down that average speed? - that does half of what you can do in air, at probably not a ton more comfort level at twice+ the length (I've not seen a lot of inexpensive long train trips in the US or Asia that beat domestic coach (let alone domestic first) by enough for me to want to put up with it for two or more times the amount of time), and at the end of the day you haven't solved SEA-NYC, LAX-NYC, etc, which are all already served in the status quo.

As a historical timing thing, most of the US leapfrogged the need for urban density and big train networks with air travel and automobiles, and neither of them are expensive enough relative to national wealth now to make it easy to justify investing more in alternatives currently. Especially with self-driving electric cars and alternative energy sources potentially around the corner to plow through the biggest pain points we've encountered around our car-centric urban design so far.
Work through the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide (http://freecode.com/projects/advancedbashscriptingguide/). It's a great resource and is one that I turn to when I need to remind myself of how to do something.
This is a strawman. Nobody is arguing in favor of 100% private beaches. Apparently I hold the most extreme view in this thread, and I'm proposing privatizing 2% of the coastline and taxing the hell out of it. The other 98% would remain public.

Remember: This proposal would mean millions more for social programs. I think things like education and health care are more important than ensuring everyone's right to access 100% of the entire coastline. (Which isn't even the case today, as the law rarely enforced.)
I'm an American that strongly opposes HSR. My position is well thought out, and supported by relevant literature.

I don't match your insipid cultural stereotype at all.
That's the thing buses and trains are more expensive than driving because of sunk costs of owning a car and at the same time they are not usually as efficient to use, i.e. add another 1/2 to your trip time. Time is something in very short supply. So you can build all the bus routes and trains you want, that does not mean anyone actually wants to use them. Then there is whole boredom of riding transportation rather than actually driving. All these people harp about public transportation, etc, but really given the choice does anyone actually prefer public transportation over cars if the roads can accommodate them. I don't think so.

History (and personal experience) shows pretty clearly that humans are really bad at predicting the movements of kangaroos, though. (I've never been in a car that hit one, but have had some close calls)

The things seem to be able to effortlessly execute 90 degree turns between hops, at speed.

Safety lesson: if you see kangaroos travelling alongside the road you're driving on, slow way down so you can execute an emergency stop, if needed; they're always only one hop from suddenly being right in front of you.

Safety lesson 2: there is always another kangaroo. If you see a kangaroo bound across the road ahead of you, slow way down; there's likely to be another kangaroo a very short distance behind it. (And safety lesson 2 recurses and also applies to that second kangaroo; there is likely a third kangaroo just far enough behind it that you'll think there's no third kangaroo. And so on.)
In this case it could simply be a sizable fraction of the value of the land. Apparently he values this strip of access at $30,000,000 so that's where the fine should be based. Hey, it's his measure of the value.
I don't know how much more useful or attractive train travel gets between Portland and Seattle just by making the train faster. The train in place already loses to air travel most of the time because it's not cheaper enough to justify it.

Any conversations of car-vs-train have to account for the linear scaling cost compared to loading up 4+ people and/or a bunch of stuff in a car.
Unacceptable workplace behavior is as old as time, tech is no exception though it is in some sense worse than others but I've seen the exact same thing in finance, automotive, industry and entertainment.

The fact that a couple of visible-in-tech people have their 'seen the light' moment is great but they only have that because a few women have been brave enough to stand up and make it stick.

But if you want something to change for the better in the longer term and not just a couple of somewhat visible males to score easy points by taking this up because it happens to be the story of the day then it simply starts with each of us, men and women alike to not accept this kind of bull-shit in any circumstance and in any sector.

Because what you see in tech is an outgrowth of something that is strongly present in our societies as a whole and ignoring that fact. The title seems to single out women entrepreneurs as if that's somehow the class that has the biggest problem but it really isn't that simple, in fact those women that have made it to the level of independent business owner are generally going to be very well placed to push back compared to those women who are in regular employment.

Sexism is a societal problem, not a tech problem and as long as we're trying to frame this as a tech problem affecting a few women entrepreneurs we are very much missing the bigger picture with possibly disastrous consequences.
Well, if the hammer does actually do a good enough job of putting in screws for your use case, what's the problem?

Even though you'll be outputting LLVM as the intermediate representation, I think you'll still have to think a lot about the design of the internal structures and the operation of the "virtual machine" so to speak (although there isn't one in the traditional sense). You'll still need to think about how functions interact, what anonymous functions/lambdas boil down to, etc.

To that end, it may be interesting to study the source of J, Klong, Kona, etc. There are a lot of older papers about representation and performance in APL as well.
There is just not much information about healthy living (though there is plenty of noise).

Observational data suggests that eating a diverse diet (but not too much food that you become overweight), being moderately active, limiting alcohol intake, and avoiding smoking is healthy. Observational data can be confounded, but it's not like we have (or are likely to have) randomized controlled trials of different approaches to healthy living. (How long should the trial run before you decide that the null hypothesis is true?)

So, most doctors aren't going to have much to say about what healthy living truly is.
Good point. I find this sort of attitude is really hard to root out too once it's ingrained. I have one friend who I argue with all the time because, coming from a family of small business owners himself, he is always rushing to the defense of businesses and their less than venerable actions even when, as you said, he himself doesn't directly benefit from said seediness. No matter how many times I've tried to get him to see things from a more humanistic/humanitarian side, that "best for business" bug in him seems impossible to eradicate. It's like he's been indoctrinated to the point where it's become as fundamental and ineradicable as a biological survival instinct.

People come to take certain values as constitutive of living a 'meaningful' life and sleep on ever questioning them until it's far too late to really challenge them any more, then pass them off, unquestioned and unanalyzed, to their kids, and the rat race continues...

But that's exactly my problem with him: he is minimizing the problem. The title speaks of 'women entrepreneurs', rather than women in society in general, which is where the problems are felt, at all layers of society and across all races as far as I'm aware. By minimizing the problem to reduce it to an absurdly small portion of all women who are experiencing a continuous stream of trouble is exactly why we will not solve this like this.
I think Apple's paid marketing efforts are a counter example to your argument. Ineffective advertising is ineffective. As a tautology this statement is pretty unremarkable.

I first found out about ipinfo from a Google search looking to solve this problem. Haven't pulled the trigger on using it, but it's been on the back of my mind for awhile now.

For me, their marketing happened to be their placement on Google. I don't really know how you'd pursue paid channels on this one (outside of SEM and SEO).

It's a solution to a known problem. Unlike, say, the Apple Watch which has to first convince you have a problem... (This coming from a guy who's very interested in buying a watch as I train for a marathon.)

So is Berkely's.

And University of Texas at Austin's CS Program is not ABET, although a number of their other programs are. (A quick search doesn't reveal who who accredits UT Austin's CS program.)

I know that when I was a student, being ABET accredited was a big deal. Students were incredibly worried when the accreditation reviews happened, and put pressure on the department to ensure any recommendations were complied with.

Yes? I’d absolutely rather spend time on a train than a car. It’s faster, takes me right into the centre of the town I’m going to, I don’t have to worry about finding a parking space and I can get some work done on the way (or just read a book). Why would you want to drive?

FYI I opened the tab when your comment was in its original un-edited state and when I hit reply your edit wasn't there yet.

From your original comment:

Also, you're off-topic so no point complaining about the downvotes, and didn't you make it so that you no longer saw whether or not you were downvoted?

This is a response to my edit.

I get that we probably did the whole whoops-didn't-see-the-edit a little bit, but c'mon, my comment stayed identical in substance the whole time it was posted. I think I added a sentence at the end a few minutes after it was posted, then the "EDIT:" part about an hour later.

Why don't we kiss and make up? I promise to engage with you in good faith if you do the same.
I was in Azerbaijan in 2012 for Eurovision. One thing that was abundantly clear was the enormous gap between the excitement of the locals for foreigners and how few foreigners actually showed up. The Azeris saw it as an opportunity to make their mark on the world stage and spared no expense (or human rights violation, or animal rights violation) to make the event spectacular.

Baku is full of me-too projects like the 2nd tallest flagpole in the world (behind Tajikistan and now Saudi Arabia), the flame towers (one of which was broken to the point of uninhabitable) and the mentioned Khazar Islands which build off the concept of Dubai's Palm Islands but nobody seems to want.

The sad thing is there is actual amazing culture and interesting architecture in Azerbaijan. But the modern stuff is just atrocious.
Azerbaijan seems to have done a better job utilizing their resources to boost the economy than most other ex-Soviet countries (including Russia, even), just looking at its economic growth since independence.

Why? People hate ads. If your service grows with no spending on ads, it means you're getting traffic from word-of-mouth. And that indicates that you've built a great service that people are happy to promote for you. It just shows your product has virtue and it's naturally taken as a compliment.

I'd compare it to having a kid. If you have money you can probably buy your kid into a good school and hook them up with a good job when they graduate. Or you can set them up with the right foundation and watch them succeed on their own.

I did the same as the OP with a project of mine. I never spent a penny on ads and it's grown into a very popular charting/trading tool among cryptocurrency traders. I also take pride in the fact that I grew it organically.

Airplanes work now and are paid for by their passengers. High speed trains would take immense investments and would have to be subsidized till the end of time. They'd only be competitive in travel times for under 200 mile trips, and that only because we don't impose the same security requirements on trains as planes, which is ludicrous given the have the exact same risks. After the first terrorist takes out a high speed train and kills hundreds of passengers and possibly hundreds of others (depending upon where the 200 MPH 500 Ton train tumbles through) there will be TSA security lines on train travel to match plane travel.

Lastly it's far easier to scale up with planes. You can't add more trains to one high speed track if another train is already on it heading towards you at high speed.
