> I'd find it highly unlikely they could do that while being unfamiliar with core data structures and algorithms. A big reason to learn basic algorithms and data structures is not to reimplement them yourself but to help you design and understand your own algorithms and data structures.

But you so rarely want to implement a new algorithm or data structure. I suspect someone who knows how to implement a red-black tree is, all other things being equal (and I know all other things would not be in practice, but bear with me), worse for most programming jobs than someone who doesn't (but who knows what its performance characteristics are) - you'd never want a programmer to implement their own red-black tree, that's a maintenance nightmare even if they do it correctly, you'd want them to use the one from the standard library.

I would also add rent control laws as a possible reason for not renovating more apartments with washing machines. Many of the older buildings in San Francisco have tenants who have been living there for decades and pay rents that are well below market rates. Landlords have little incentive to make improvements since they can't easily raise rents. And tenants have little incentive to shop for a nicer apartment if it means losing their below-market rates.

When the tenant does finally move out, it's not uncommon for the landlord to renovate, add modern amenities, and raise prices significantly. Hence in-unit washing machines are on the rise and laundromats are on the decline. But it takes a long time for the process to play out.

All MLMs are scams. I hate using the term pyramid schemes, because if you use that term all of the MLM apologists will start cranking out very long-winded philosophical definitions of pyramid schemes that obscure the true point.

The MLM "model" can be summarized thusly:

- 1. Give people pretty good business advice from a host of good business books

- 2. Give people a very positive exciting environment

- 3. Give people literally the WORST job ever created with a product that cannot exist on its own in the marketplace if it wasn't being artificially propped up by hundreds of thousands of distributors

MLMs are scams. And no matter how much they try to attack other industries by saying how unethical they are, or how much they lie about their products, that can never and will never absolve them for the damage they have done to so many lives.

ALSO: something else you'll notice is that people who've been involved with MLMs might recall them fondly. This is just a defense mechanism (an extremely understandable one) to prevent having to view oneself as being duped. I think it's a shame though because we'll all be duped or scammed to some degree in our life, no need to change the past. Anyway reading "The Big Con" by David Maurer right now, a book by a sociologist about con-men in the 1940s. It's the basis for the movie "The Sting", and its remarkable how many people in the book are conned but refuse to believe it, and even years later still think their guy is out there, about to return their money at any time with 20x the profit or whatever.

EDIT: Also it is nearly impossible to look this stuff up on Google. MLM people have so carpet bombed the search sites the first 30 or so links will be links to Youtube videos with titles like "Is XYZ company a scam??" that find of course it's not. Occasionally a random legitimate news article will leak through. Otherwise they've literally walled the world off from anti-MLM information.

Are you selling to consumers or companies? If companies: they need to pay taxes: not your legal risks but you be wise to warn them. If consumers they need to declare it or the service or good can be confiscated.

None of this is fishy.. it works like this between all Western nations and all other modern economies. And if you find a country that is an exception that that would be a huge bussiness opportunity for every one just moving profits that way.

There was actually a way to do this. Cheat your way out of VAT. But its a complicated trick only companies like Apple and IKEA use and that trick is under full attack by both the US and EU government.

I only tried a drawing tablet once for a few days (also with Krita), but I too was very surprised by how easy it is to setup everything. Basically just install the package with the Wacom driver (xf86-input-wacom on Arch Linux), restart the X server and you're good to go.

Good for them trying to get donations directly. They might get more money through GoFundMe or having a KickStarter for v4.0 or something. Those sites would offer a little transparency in that you can see how much they've already received... but try direct donations first.

> a dutch company sells a product to dutch consumers. They have to pay VAT.

Just a clarification: the consumer pays the tax. The company collects the tax and transfers it to the state (deducting the taxes they paid in their activity, so what they actually give to the taxman is a "value added" tax).
Mercedes and BMW and Volkswagen are going to be dead (or faint shadows of their current state) within this decade (2027). Exactly what has happened to Nokia, Siemens and Ericsson is going to repeat itself. I would wager smaller players like Hyundai will adapt and hang on, maybe even innovate at a later date. Tough to predict Toyota and Honda though. The Japanese are clever in their ways.

I haven't made it. I've just started thinking about what I'd need to get it done. I'm a systems dev not an Android app person.

What is the legal definition of being in charge?

There is no legal definition for the term "in charge" so each case will depend on its exact circumstances and facts. Generally, a Defendant is "in charge" if he was the owner/in possession of the vehicle or had recently driven it. He is not in charge if it is being driven by another person or is "a great distance" from the vehicle.

Matters are more complicated where a person is sitting in the vehicle or "otherwise involved with it". In charge can include attempting to gain entry to the vehicle and failing, having keys to the vehicle, having intention to take control of the vehicle or even "being near the vehicle".

This opens a WHOLE can of worms for me as I do live in the UK.. and I regularly get drunk and sleep in my campervan. According to this particular interpretation, all campervan owners who get drunk and sleep in the van can be arrested. Im thinking that due to there is no legal definition of "in charge" that this could definitely be argued in court.
The company I work for does, that's why we have insurance.
I'm really surprised Google's lawyers let them proceed with ad-blocking given all the antitrust scrutiny. Not because it makes them more competitive with Firefox, but because it gives them a competitive advantage against other advertising agencies. (You know that if your ads are run through a Google service they're safe, but why risk using another service?)

The fatal flaw in Google's approach is that they're primarily focused on visible ad features instead of privacy concerns. I'd rather have an internet full of flashing highway billboards than the current privacy nightmare of today.

I'd be 1000x more inclined to turn off ad blocking if there was any transparency about the data being siphoned up.

More ad blocking isn't the answer. More transparency around data collection is.

Right, but I think when they say "core libraries" they probably mean things like hyper, which are still unstable (though getting closer to stability). That said, a lot of big rust crates have stabilized in the last few months.
Not sure if that's a jab at my post. Not trying to be controversial. But, it doesn't appear that the example code shown for returning a json response even sets the Content-type header to application/json.

Since there's obviously some time lag before frameworks that use this core library will appear, good documentation on this sort of thing seems advisable.

True, but for most it is similar to getting into a niche which the found does not actively understand or have experience in.

Another thought I had is that the developers that would most likely want to do this are the same ones who are most likely not allowed to do this. I worked at a clearing company as a dev and FINRA was very explicit in what I can and can't do in my free time when it comes to trading. I could only use specific brokers. I probably had a bit more flexibility as I was only bound by FINRA and NFA (National Futures Association). If you are in a trading firm I'm sure they have even stricter rules about individual algo trading.
That's a fair point. Still won't be easy to actually come out on top when litigating, though.

Atom and Slack often get critiqued for their use of an HTML5 stack. I'd also like better performance when it comes to startup time, memory usage and responsiveness regarding interactions (I'm using a 12" Macbook) but the stack is so useful and universal that it is here to stay and worth figuring out how to get to great performance (similar to how Emacs figured out how to work around slow startup).

Are there examples for HTML5 apps that manage to have great performance? Are there inherent limits?

There was most definitely an automated (fraudulent) effort, if you doubt it go and see [1] if submissions were made in members of your family's name. I have no idea if it's Comcast doing it, my impression is that's just a catchy name for the site.

There is a complex regex search that the site uses to find copies of "the comment" – I was shocked how many of my family members (not with their actual addresses, but names of actual members of my family) filed brief comments that start out "The unprecedented regulatory power the Obama Administration imposed on the internet is smothering innovation, damaging the American economy and obstructing job creation."

Presumably the text is varied in order to hamper the efforts of people like Comcastroturf that are trying to help quantify the number of these fraudulent comments that were filed.

I have no idea if the volume of these type of comments are enough to constitute a "DoS" attack, let alone DDOS, but the scale is quite grand.

I was shocked how few names I had to try before I found copies of "the comment" in filings in the names of many members of my family. Maybe about 50% hit rate. Higher with a common name.

Honestly, your accountant sucked. All the rules are about making sure value produced is taxed exactly once. No more no less. If you find a loophole out of that, you better triple check that, because it is definitely not the spirit these tax laws are written in.

Not to blame you - i too would trust a professional. Also, in Holland, accountancy is a protected profession. You can report them, because at the end of the day he/she took a risk that you would likely personally not have taken if you were aware of it.
Yes, good point about email being complex to implement - both the server and the clients that use it. Example: Some years back, I remember reading a book (I think from O'Reilly) about using programming email, by an author called David Wood [1].

Update: I just did this google search:

java and email book david wood

and looked at the results.

The first hit is that book - it's name was actually Programming Internet Email - and it was by O'Reilly Media:

http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781565924796.do

It has info on both the fundamental concepts and protocols of email, as well as examples in both Perl and Java.

Other results of that search show that there are multiple books about programming email (as can be expected), including a list of books about Internet email on an Oracle site:

Books on the JavaMail API and Internet Mail:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index-139773...

Not all of those are exclusively about email, and some probably have overlapping content, but still, it shows (as Wood's book did too) that it is a big topic:

JavaMail API, by Elliotte Rusty Harold.

Internet Email, by David Wood.

Programmer's Guide to Internet Mail, by John Rhoton.

Internet Email Protocols: A Developer's Guide, by Kevin Johnson.

Java Network Programming, 2nd Edition, by Elliotte Rusty Harold.

Essential Email Standards: RFCs and Protocols Made Practical, by Pete Loshin.

Internet Messaging: From the Desktop to the Enterprise, by Marshall T. Rose and David Strom.

Internet E-Mail: Protocols, Standards, & Implementation, by Lawrence Hughes.

Managing IMAP, by Dianna Mullet and Kevin Mullet.

Professional Java Server Programming J2EE Edition.

Java Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Java Developers, by Ian F. Darwin.

JavaServer Pages (JSP) Fast & Easy Web Development, by Aneesha Bakharia.

[1] From what I read about David Wood, he seemed to have a lot of experience with email (and other stuff) and had for some time, a company providing products and/or services in that area.

And that Java Cookbook by Ian Darwin is pretty good too - I have it.

> what does intermittent connectivity have to do with whether you transmit the email via SMTP or via HTTP

SMTP uses a stateful connection where HTTP is basically a single request/response. I.e. the device can close the HTTP connection after a single roundtrip where SMTP requires waiting for server responses after commands and then continuing the request.

Not sure if it's simpler on those devices to use an HTTP interface (because HTTP requires a bit more overhead data) but it might be simpler, sure.

your reply seems very accusatory. I'm not suggesting that there shouldn't be a speed limit, or that people who speed aren't culpable for their actions. I'm talking about the fairly well-known incidence of cameras on sharp bends or that are hard to see at the bottom of hills (or worse yet, police pulled up on ramps on the side of the road) where people who are speeding will see them and slam on their brakes. This is well known to cause an increase in traffic accidents and yet the practices I mentioned continues.

Perhaps a more productive tone to take on a discussion forum would be inquiry rather than indignant belittling.

edit: Also, speed cameras are brightly coloured by law, notably a law that the police themselves do not write, so you cannot in good faith argue that the warning paint is an act of temperance on the part of the police.

>The researchers noted that a few of the sponge owners had said that they cleaned them regularly, either by microwaving or using hot-soapy washes. Those sponges didn’t have fewer microbes than the others, but they did tend to have more bacteria related to those that are linked to disease.

Microwaving or "hot soapy washes" sound ineffective to me. I boil my sponges, which seems to work; it certainly kills the smell.

It's too soon to rely on CSS Grid. A lot of people don't (and sometimes can't) use a browser that's less than four months old. Can I Use estimates ~44% of users don't use a browser that supports the current syntax [0]. IE11 will never support the current CSS Grid syntax but does support Flexbox (with some bugs). Edge will support the current CSS Grid syntax but doesn't yet. Older phones and tablets won't support CSS Grid.
