Doesn't this reasoning apply to every case that comes before the Supreme Court, even those it refuses to hear?

There's are several answers to your question.

1) To a certain extent it does apply to every case the Court doesn't hear. Although such denials of cert aren't supposed to mean anything you will nonetheless see in briefs something like:

"The Ninth Circuit held blah blah blah. Doe v. Smith 108 F.3d 1147 (9th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, 112 S. Ct. 60 (2013)."

The intention is to imply that a majority of the Supreme Court at least didn't strongly disagree with the Ninth Circuit.

2) Most cases come up to the Supreme Court from the Court of Appeals, not a special three District Court judge
panel. The uses and limits of CoA judgement in their own circuits and in other circuits are well understood because it happens so much. That's not the case for these kind of judgments.

3) The nature of the decision itself is unusual. Most cases are fact bound, even most cases that are dealing with precedent work around the edges of existing cases.

The precedent the court below was dealing with -- Vieth v. Jubelirer -- is really unusual. In it four judges would have held that partisan gerrymandering cases are always non-judiciable (i.e. courts shouldn't hear them) four would have held that the such cases are judiciable. Justice Kennedy wrote a solo concurrence that represented the decisive vote. In it he wrote that such cases were as of then non-judiciable because there were no judicially manageable standards that could be applied. But he left the door open for such standards to appear in the future.

The court panel below held that the standard proposed by the plaintiffs was the standard that Justice Kennedy had been looking for all along. Leaving that in place without comment would have looked more endorsement than usual.
> It totally had UB, overwriting random memory, exceptions, etc. It was common knowledge in the operations that the app crashes randomly lots of times a day and has to be restarted automatically, to the point of this being considered non-issue.

Most fundamentally, that's a corporate culture issue. That should not be regarded as normal in any sane environment. (And, yes, such environments do exist.)

> The company actually has super smart C++ programmers (and I mean it!), submitting proposals to the C++ committee and having them accepted.

But not thinking it's a problem when the app crashed multiple times a day? That sounds like architecture astronauts, not good programmers.

> I know there are tons of them [data races] sleeping undetected in any multithreaded C++ code.

No. I've worked on real-time multithreaded code that had no data races, thanks to judicious use of mutexes. (Now, I can't prove that, and you could argue that they're there, and I just don't know it.)

It's possible to do much better with C++ than what you experienced - to write solid stuff that doesn't crash every day, still less multiple times a day; to write multithreaded code that isn't riddle with race conditions; and so on. Mostly, what it takes is a team (or corporate) culture that insists on quality code, from start to finish - good design, good development, good testing and debugging.
15+ years ago, there were similar issues with people leaving directory indexing enabled with Apache. At least in those cases, people knew they were putting their data on a web server. And more often than not, there was at least logging of what was downloaded by default.

Now people are moving their infrastructure to the public clouds. With the flick of a single API call, you can expose the most sensitive data over HTTPS with no authentication and no logging. That seems to me worse than the problems of 15+ years ago. If I suggest ways to fix this, I will get responses with the word "friction", which was usually the reason people moved out of their datacenters to begin with.

Is there a practical solution to this? Could AWS do something better?
Totally. However, letting these monopolies prioritize traffic is simply at odds with the idea of ISP competition.

Net neutrality means any provider must offer equal service within the network. That simple axiom is what lets a new ISP enter a city and offer service to just one building - because Comcast (for example) is required to give that new ISP equal pricing and priority.

Without net neutrality, Comcast can abuse leverage it's monopoly to kill competition... they aren't going to give new ISP customers equal priority. yThe competition would literally have to build a duplicate network connecting every residential home all the way to a "friendly" ISP willing to peer. Impossible without an incredible amount of capital and labor.

The death of net neutrality is quite literally the death of competition in this space. Ma Bell back from the dead.
I think that's a fair point, and I wouldn't expect a video I watched 10 years ago to factor in very heavily on what I'm seeing today. But at least in my experience, it doesn't appear that the engine takes anything that happened more than a few days ago into account.

As an example: I watched a few episodes of Penn and Teller: Fool Us yesterday. I hadn't really watched it before, and while I like Penn and Teller in general, I don't remember watching them all that much on YouTube prior to yesterday (I'm sure at some point I had watched a video or two, but not more so than anything else I stumbled on.)

Today, 12 of the top 30 videos on my YouTube home page are specifically Penn and Teller: Fool Us. Not magic in general, not Penn and Teller in general, but specifically that show. That seems like the very recent past is way overrepresented.
If they actually thought a hiring freeze would actually show weakness, then they deserve what they got. Not being transparent with employees basically shows these two aren't suited to motivate or lead anyone.

Even if you use a desktop client, email is part of the world wide web.
Oh, I kept Whatsapp. It's not that I care about privacy or digital freedom, I assume those are lost by now.

I care about the amount of time I spend on those platforms and the amount of garbage I consume on them. Whatsapp is just a messaging platform, not one that provides an information feed to consume. I kept twitter because it's short and limits the text I could post to someone about something, which also limits the desire to do so because a tweet is ironic, informative or sarcastic, but cannot ensue a good and lenghty discussion (though some people try that, I cannot bear to imagine doing so)
I prefer Google Photos or Apple Photos to SmugMug. Another user posted about the ToS and PP of SmugMug, which isn't very nice. I want to be able to share and have another backup of my photos without worry.

SmugMug used to have bad limits to their videos a few years back. That was strike one before. I cancelled with them when support said I had to have my videos encoded in certain ways for some of them to get uploaded. This ended up being a massive annoyance. Even after encoding to their requirements, some videos still wouldn't upload.

Small note about pricing - if you want to be able to limit sharing of your photos/albums to different people, you have to get on the 2nd tier which is $70/year or $8/mo. Not a big difference. Personally, though I'm limited in money, my photo, image, and video collection are very important to me. I'd easily be willing to spend a few hundred a year for a rock solid platform, like say if I needed to spend $30/mo on average for Google Photos or Apple Photos in the future.

SmugMug's inspiration, Flickr is now a worry-some app to use with Verizon owning them. Their 1 GB limit for videos is way too restricted along with only allowing 3 minutes of playback. You have to download the video to see it in full.

All the apps and products mentioned also in my opinion are inferior to Picassa Desktop in its hay-day. I still miss it. Even though its organizing wasn't as good as I'd like.

A family member needed a surgery that had a 60% complication rate, so this was a topic I researched. We flew across the country to the doctor I found, who invented the technique, publishes on it, was improving on it, and performed more of this repair than anyone I interviewed. He said "I don't get those complications" and he was right.

Here are my takeaways for finding the right person:

- Surgical success is highly correlated to number of that exact procedure the surgeon performs. The most important question is therefore how many of this procedure a surgeon does a year. The more narrow the specialization, the better. Ask this, and compare.

- It is worth travelling for complex procedures where possible. Find your person and make it work.

- Doctors often list their specialties and areas of interest on their website. Pick one who is specializing in what you need, and for whom it is an area of interest.

- Age-wise, it seems like surgeons with 10+ years of experience are best, but ones nearing retirement age may be out of their prime. I think there's science backing up declines in vision and maybe fine motor skills.

- Searching pubmed is a great way to find out who is publishing on an area as well as the complication rate and outcomes for what is being proposed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

- Specialists trump generalists.

- Bedside manner does not correlate with outcome particularly well, so "seems nice" is the wrong way to choose a doctor.

- Larger and more prestigious hospitals tend to attract better talent, so the most convenient option (closest) is often the worse choice.
First of all, General AI is science fiction and there's no detailed theory to suggest it is even possible, beyond hand wavy neuron/transistor-count models. All evidence so far suggests a human-like gestation/development is necessary, and such a development would negate any advantage such an AI would have over traditional human cyborgs.

Second, what about an AI would give them an advantage over cyborgs in building drone battalions? Aren't conventional human cyborgs doing that right now?
They have already capped the people going into the park. People with single-day passes can be turned away at the gate if the park is full. Two-day or multi-day pass got priority.
One thing I didn't see mentioned in the article are demographics for visitors. Disneyland has always had a very local crowd, which is why they do things differently from Walt Disney World in Florida. By "local crowd", I mean you get a lot more people with season passes who go just for dinner in the park and then leave. Waiting up to 5 hours for the Guardians attraction would be a novelty to them since they've literally done everything else in the park many times over.
Erratic weather might be a concern... large amounts of severe thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes in the Spring, and snow and ice in Fall/Winter could be quite disruptive. A little further east might alleviate some of that, though
Doesn't Lightroom sync to the web now? How much of your photo/video collection is for non-work? I am not any kind of photographer, I just take a lot of photos/videos, and compile a lot of the videos/photos family and friends send through different messaging apps, etc. I'm the one people come to a lot when they want to see stuff from some hangout years ago.

Lightroom has always seemed daunting so I never took much of a look at it even though I pay for the Photoshop subscription that includes Lightroom.

Burgeoning wait times, and park overcrowding is (in my opinion) largely a result of Annual Pass sales. The AP's come out, clog up the park and make it less hospitable to non-AP guests.
>Is this an insane idea?

It's not even that insane. MTV did exactly this to gain an edge when negotiating with cable companies. They ran ads telling people to call their cable companies and say, "I want my MTV!" The campaigns were largely successful, and MTV quickly became a standard offering on cable TV.

Google has far more negotiating power than MTV did. If Google actually cut off ISPs and told people to call their ISP and say, "I want my net neutrality!" it would have a good chance of working.
> or a browser doesn't support new syntax,

Then the user needs to update their browser. It's pretty inexcusable these days to not keep your browser up-to-date, and browsers tend to support new language specs before those specs get widespread usage.
Any suggestions for pairing a OnePlus 3 with a (2016) BMW for audio? Mine works like a champ for speaker phone but in order to play any kind of media, the OnePlus refuses to do it. (Though my son's Samsung Galaxy S5 works.)
There's a huge choice for C. For a lot of uses, you can use C++, Go, Java, Rust, or a few other systems languages. The only thing that needs C is some very niche embedded stuff, or the Linux kernel (also niche).
For me, I agree as well. Some might balk at the idea that you may get a resident treating you, but with a supervising attending, you're pretty well covered.

Also, good teaching hospitals can attract some great medical teachers with lots of experience. And while being a great teacher doesn't necessarily make you a great doctor (or vice versa), the caliber of these people will likely attract motivated students.

It won't.

Personal self interest, corporate self interest, arbitrary community group self interest, national self interest will never be able to put their self interest above that of the planet/civilization sufficiently to "fix" global warming, which BTW is probably too latee to fix anyway.

This is supposedly the reason WDW was built. Walt, they say, once heard a report that people on a ride at DL saw I5 start to slow down so they decided to leave the park to avoid the crushing commute. Not exactly somewhere you get lost in the magic.

WDW (fascinating origin story, read it sometime) was built out in the middle of nowhere where people can't see what is going on in the real world. It's the only vacation our family has been on that starts and ends at the airport if you stay on property. In 2008 I think the Dow lost 6% the week we were there and we were gloriously unaware of the fire raging elsewhere. It's all Disney coaches, busses, monorails, and boats to get between your resort and the parks.
I had a ridiculously bad experience with the Seagate Momentus XT drives. Never again..
Exactly. They already sell tickets online, but they are not for a specific day.
But now you are just making it so only people that plan it many many months out can get in.

And it comes with it's own slew of problems. Like you'd need to either have hourly booking, or you'd need to assume when people are going to be going for the day, and you could still just end up with an empty park at some times, and crazy long lines at others.

Combined with the fact that "park hopping" is really common, especially when you don't have a huge amount of days in a vacation there (or don't want to blow a whole day on one of the smaller parks).

I'm not convinced it's as straightforward as you'd think.

Their solution of the "fast pass" system they have in florida is I think the best of both worlds. You can "schedule" time for a ride months out, but they still let as many people as they safely can in the park.
I prefer comma first notation.

const hello = {
, 'one'
, 'two'
, 'three
}

would be easier to visually parse than:

const hello = {
'one',
'two',
'three',
}

Since the commas actually work as a guide.
Boah, Lisp has FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, .. REST since decades.
Weather is the largest issue - a Disney park will generate its own traffic flows - Orlando was not a population center in 1971 (when WDW opened).

You could do a park somewhere in Texas - the weather is hospitable, but I dont think Disney is interested in the investment to do so right now.
With addons which disable user agents, referrers, and other details, and by disabling Javascript, you can nearly achieve this with Firefox and Chrome. I've noticed that some website refuse to serve content without a user agent.
This was one of those (rather common) cases where no one could really get to slam-dunk evidence that it couldn't have been typed on a selectric (especially given they weren't original copies) but any reasonable interpretation of the evidence suggested that it was far more likely to have come out of Microsoft Word on default settings. (Per many forensic document experts.)

Other aspects of the documents looked sketchy as well upon further examination.

A lot of other news organizations were really pissed because there were some questionable aspects to GWB's National Guard Service but those were pretty much off the table for discussion when the apparently forged documents were discredited.
Dear lord, no. That feature is not ever anything but annoying.
Client TLS certs already exist, and they are a massive pain for the average user.
I used to work with SVN in a group of 3 developers and several branches (test, staging, master) and it was pretty messy.

When I read the original comment about bug fixes disappearing, it reminded me of merging test onto stable by hand, not knowing what was "the good code" and having to ask, research, etc. It was messy and some times we got regressions.

We called this thing, a bug fix got "merged away".

Nowadays with Git, feature branches, better test coverage, continuous integration; things have got much better.
And they'll continue going to Orlando and LA. The idea isn't to replace the existing parks as a destination. Nor to offer something so different as to be yet another must-see Disney attraction.

A copy of Orlando some place in the heartland would give access to more Americans.

It doesn't take anything away from the current Google Drive client. It adds more features such as adding more folders to sync, choosing whether the images in those folders get synced to Google Photos, adding USB media support, and deletion options.

It also has a lot of bug fixes over the older client.
I'm glad your experience was very different from mine.
That's an encouraging thought, but here are two problems with it (sorry):

1. In my understanding many Trump supporters were reacting to their own suffering since the end of the 20th-century manufacturing boom in America. I'm skeptical that a movement of similar impact could succeed organically without its supporters having to suffer a fair amount first. As my middle-school history teacher would say: "Real change only happens when people die."

2. This currently does not resemble a "grassroots" movement at all. It has a snazzy website, the major players are plastering calls to action across their homepages, etc. It's basically the content owners battling it out with the infrastructure owners, and even though I understand the risks (and am a content owner myself) I'm not terribly encouraged to join up.

One small reassurance: At least the content owners aren't the same as the infrastructure owners.
They just finished building Shanghai Disneyland, which apparently caused a few budget issues in the Parks & Resorts division, so I think you're right about a third US location being off the table for now.

Disney also recently bought out the owners of Disneyland Paris, so they'll probably be putting some investment into that park as well (since it's sorely needed--DLP is considered one of the lesser Disney parks).

I've got 6x 4TB WD RED in a ZFS RAID10 (3x2 mirrors). I get about 500Mbytes/s read and write, on average. You start getting into 10GbE territory pretty easily with even consumer drives and ZFS. With SSDs, you'd quickly need trunked 10GbE if you want to fully saturate your network - in addition to that consider the client requirements - e.g. each workstation with 10GbE or 1GbE. You'd have to have some pretty decent requirements to necessitate a ZFS RAID10 with [NVMe] SSDs.
Thanks for the first link, it's a pretty good summary of the arguments for. My question would be why don't most of those fall under fraud statutes.

The second link is the example of crap I've read about the issue that never resonated with me, please don't tell why arguments against are bad, tell me why I need it the the first place.

And calling me "willfully ignorant" is a good example of why net neutrality has failed to get wider support. I'm a full-time developer, I do read a lot about a lot of issues, but I'm also busy with a full life. Guess what, my governments tax, drug, school funding, and police policies get more of my attention than a poorly explained argument for limits on ISPs.

Advocates should learn to tell their audience clearly and concisely why Net Neutrality benefits them. And without being dismissive or condescending. I mean, only if they want to build more support.
