You don't think intent and net harm should be considered in criminal cases? I'd like this sentencing to send a clear message to fraudsters that:

A. If you get caught, you're going to prison

But more importantly -

B. If, however, you work hard to ensure the people you defrauded are not harmed by your fraud, your sentence will be lighter than if you were the type of fraudster to cut and run.

I don't know about you, but in light of the fact that fraudsters are always going to exist, I'd like to incentivize the "benevolent fraudsters", rather than pretending (through equal sentencing) that there is no difference between the two.

There is a due process to catch an ally's civilian, that's called an extradition, that process is important.
This is why I ended up writing my home automation software. I want it to do what I want, what makes my life easier. Not what makes a better product.
I'm sure it's been said but was it ever possible for him to get a fair trial?
CodeSandbox does almost everything in the browser however. The only thing it doesn't do in the browser is dependency bundling, which StackBlitz does in this case.

Essentially CodeSandbox can work offline if you already had the website open while you're online, then you can still continue offline. StackBlitz has the advantage that the tab where your application is can also be opened initially offline, which is handy for showing your application when you have no connection, but if I'm not wrong you cannot continue developing offline. I'd love to hear that I'm wrong, I'm really impressed with StackBlitz.

I'm the author of CodeSandbox btw :).
I'm aware of PicoC, Cling (nee CINT), and Ch (commercial), but that's only three. What others are there? I'm curious about canonical C interpreters as well as things that aren't quite interpreting C but are somehow related.
You don't have to, there's tools that do it for you.
Study: Men's income falls as women's rises
Pools, saunas, arenas, orientation activities, facilities management, energy, space, housing, etc have basically nothing to do with teaching style.

College is expensive because of all the extras (teachers don't earn very much). Also basic overhead, but you can still do that and keep it affordable.
Rotary dial.

Just another symptom of the oversupply of Talent in this industry.
You're making it sound more complex than it is. If Roman Britain was ethnically diverse then what happened to the diversity? It's just not represented in the modern population.

Furthermore, a study is probably incorrect if it can't withstand sanity checking from simple population models based on data we do have from the time (e.g. Roman garrison sizes).

> Look around the Internet - there is a new revisionist history of the Western world that is being pushed..

The revisionism is actually that Roman Britain was ethnically diverse. To paraphrase the source of this controversy, Paul Joseph Watson: If Roman Britain was diverse then modern day Japan is ethnically diverse.

The "we are all immigrants" narrative is pushed to justify mass immigration and open borders. This might make academics like Beard feel cosmopolitan and P.C. views might draw the attention of the Guardian and boost her book sales, but tens of millions of people are suffering from the consequences of these policies and feel alienated by an elite that they feel is working against their will and best interests.

> These people are undoubtedly far less numerous than they appear; they use bots

Paul Joseph Watson has over 1m subscribers on YouTube and his videos have hundreds of thousands of views. This places his daily circulation higher than most newspapers. While only a small percentage of those people may agree with his views enough to push them online, that is still a lot of people.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading "Skin in the Game" and wonder whether this story will become another anecdote of Taleb's "Intellectual Yet Idiot" social class.
Japanese will do bad things when they are sure they can get away with them. You won't get away with stealing. There are police everywhere (in a good way to be honest), and they will catch a thief.

Meaning, driven to be CEO is the initial requirement to becoming CEO (in my opinion).

Honestly, this would have been much more interesting to me if they'd simply asked these CEOs what was it that produced the drive to lead a company.
AMD's not doing a recall, it works decently enough for most applications. Their response is going to be "if it crashes your application, turn SMT off".

Consider they didn't even do a recall when Phenom had a showstopping TLB bug, they shipped a BIOS patch that disabled TLB entirely.

And remember, Epyc is on a new stepping of the silicon, it's possible this is already fixed on it. (Threadripper is not, however)
Last year I had posted a SubscriberLink to a LWN article about AOO to HN; I'm doing it again right now, so if they read HN and my post reaches the front page there, we might be able to see them here again.

Or maybe we're tired of wasting our time on this public drama, none of which - at the end of the day - helps get any software shipped.

I'm just sad that I don't personally have more cycles free to contribute to AOO. I have a bunch of stuff I want to work on, but my life is so chaotic right now that it doesn't happen. So I guess I share in the blame for the lack of AOO progress. I wish I had something more to tell you guys, but it's a project that's driven pretty much 100% by volunteers these days, and those volunteers do what they can while maintaining their day jobs, etc.
I was being a bit of a devil's advocate, altho didn't quite get the responses I hoped for. I suppose I didn't phrase it quite right since I don't have significant knowledge about this case other than the article.

It seems like the arrest is a bit aggressive, but so is the response – clearly out of fear and uncertainty of the govt and general time we live in. Hopefully more transparency will bring light to the allegations and reassure the innocent of their safety
I've seen this in employers as well. I worked for a textile mill that was technologically stuck in the Stone age, drilled you all day long for nearly minimum wage. Then I got a break and they made me a line lead, a reward for being such a good worker. But they found a way to take that position away when they found out I was using the extra money to pay for college courses and attend conferences. Needless to say, I quit, and I found a job at a technology-oriented company. They supported it from day one, and I'd be happy to stay with them and apply for more effective jobs.
Couple the tower to an enormous array of venturi tubes.

Whether the vacuum generated from the flow is adequate for hyperloop use, and how to actually connect the vacuum lines from the absurd contraption to the hyperloop tube in a structurally sound manner are left as exercises for the reader.
"The guy?" Which guy? What website?
When you execute a function, you set the program to execute the new function, but first, you take care of the related bookkeeping. A very important part of that is the function scope(s).

I'll first explain prototypical inheritance (because the two have close parallels). When you access a property in an object, a method runs behind the scenes. It does something like: search all the keys in the given object. If there is a matching key, return the value. If no such key exists, check for a __proto__ key. If it contains a value, call this function recursively on that object (and return whatever it gives back). If there is no __proto__ value, return `undefined`.

Let's assume an interpreter (to make it easy). Before we call a function, we need to setup the closure. The closure is an object with the names of all the variables you defined plus a few builtin things.

As we parse the function, any params, `var` or `function` statement creates an entries in the object. The values for the params are then pre-defined from the stuff provided by the caller. All the function statements are also pre-compiled. We add internal values for the return value, the parent closure (we'll call it __closure__), and some other things.

As the function runs, we come across a variable name. We then call a method to get it. That method searches the current scope for the name and returns the value. If none is found, it returns the result of calling itself on the __closure__ object. If no such object exists, it returns a `ReferenceError`.

Modern JITs do many fancy things with closures (just like they do with objects), but this basic mental model should cover most things.
This is exactly what I hate about all the internet arguments about Apple in general. When an anti-fanboi screams that they can get the exact same computer for $1000 cheaper because of the "Apple tax", I abandon the conversation completely because they've clearly either never used an Apple device or they're completely ignoring the fact that their $1000 cheaper device has cut corners somewhere whether that's in build materials, features (like the keyboard backlight or display), or just general quality of experience. Things aren't just more expensive because Apple wants them to be more expensive. They'd be forced to shut down shop by all the competitors that could undercut them. Instead, they're one of the most valuable companies in the world because people that actually do spend the extra money agree that it's not just an "Apple tax" but a higher-quality product.
What? There's no reason to think that educational success is a measure of one's parents wealth!
Anyway, things are not quite so dire as this article makes out. See:

So yes, development on AOO is absolutely continuing. Is the pace slower than we'd all like? Absolutely. Would we welcome newcomers to help out? Absolutely. In the meantime, the volunteers that are around are doing what they can.

I really wish people would let this whole supposed "AOO vs LO rivalry" thing go. At this point, I'm pretty sure the bulk of the AOO contributors don't see LO as a rival, and mostly don't care what LO does, so long as people affiliated with LO aren't running us down in public. The two projects will probably never re-merge, so it is what it is. They do their thing, AOO does its thing. Such is the way of things.
I'm thinking of building a new PC this autumn or spring but news like this about the new AMD processors are making me a bit uneasy committing to them. I don't think bugs like this and the one with GCC crashing (might be the same) might affect me but it's a risk I'm not sure if I want to take.
What You See Is All There Is

That Vice piece felt like great PR for him, so much that I was very suspect of my feelings of sympathy towards him.
If you can bootstrap the thing at all, the air in the tube can only expand and cool by going up the tube. If it expands at the base, it runs into air at the same pressure. If it didn't already have upward momentum, that might be the end of it, but if it's already moving upward into a region where the outside temp/pressure is lower, if it tries to expand, it can only do so upwards. Since air inflow at the bottom has to equal air out the top in equilibrium, that expansion can only push air through the tube faster, which helps the concept's viability. Granted, this is a slightly different theory of operation, but it uses the same basic logic of exploiting the pressure difference by limiting the ability of the air to expand freely.

He does say a lot of things that are goofy (you can't just assume the outside air is rising, still air is a thing that happens), and the theory I'm putting forward is a bit different than his, but I'm just saying I'm not sure you can dismiss the whole concept on thermodynamic grounds. IANAPhysicist, so I'm open to clarification on any point.
What about shadow regulation where government regulators censor information they legally cannot censor for 1st amendment issues but de facto can by increasing their regulatory levers on companies to stand up to state level censorship
>People love to talk about how the FBI has a history of framing people --- and in other fields they might. But there is no track record I'm aware of for the FBI to make up a story like this out of whole cloth.

It might be necessary to resolve naming conflicts but it's not good.

In Go, package name should be the same as repo name.

Most cases that I've seen are not including "go" in repo name to resolve naming conflict but "just because", possibly cargo-culting others that did it.
It's quite nice. I scored that on an award ticket back when getting Lufthansa first class on United awards was easy to do. Being driven from the lounge to your plane in a Porsche is a pretty great way to start your flight.
That's why mega capacitors are so interesting even if they can't store as much as a battery. We could instantly store all current kinetic energy in it and then recharge the battery "slowly" with the energy from the capacitor.

I agree about your second point, mechanical brakes are very simple and reliable. I'm pretty sure we will forever have them in our cars for safety/emergency reasons.
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. The method that immediately comes to mind is using the Venturi effect, though admittedly I don't know the efficiencies involved.

Sometimes businesses like regulation, because it levels the playing field. It can be hard to do what you know is morally right, if it affects your bottom line and you have to justify the decision to your shareholders.

I don't think it's too much to ask for links to resources.

If it's a common enough remedy that needs linking, you could just write a dedicated blog post describing the recommended resources or whatever and just link to that.

Sometimes the hard part of researching things is knowing what to look for or where to look for it.
Even if the company were treating their database as nothing more than a dumb data store, without stored procedures or the like, tight coupling within application code would still stifle any ability to integrate other data sources.
In the financial service industry there is very little tolerance for fraud. Fraud with or without losing money will get people in trouble. A trader with a massive unauthorised position is as likely to be sanctioned if this position has a positive P&L than if it is a loss.
Maybe the intended attribute was the opposite of micromanager.
A title mentioned Go, so I guess that means the Elixir/Erlang marketing team is going to come in and tell us why Elixir is better. Yawn. It's as obvious as the monsanto shills.

I am sure people like Richard Jewell would share belief that "as a bystander believe an innocent person is guilty, it's not as big a deal."

Innocent people have their lives for ever ruined with nothing more than false accusations, and not being found not guilty at trial does not change that.

Further I would like to see where you get your belief that police are correct 75% or more of the time.

What I'm most surprised by is their straw-man alternative: "unalterable traits or unattainable pedigree," _in 2017_.

"I say, Langley, HBR is pure bosh. They've no respect at all for proper breeding, and their attitude towards Mr. Spencer's impeccable theories is shocking, really."

You'd think they'd disparage education, money, and connections, instead of inborn character and aristocratic bloodline... (Unless, of course, you _do_ need education, money, and connections, and they want some safer strawman to knock down.)

I'm not qualified either but this is an important point, the energy is definitely available and photoelectric semiconductors are merely one way to harness it.

Don't be, you must think of the children first! Europe is already talking about having laws forcing EV to make fake noises so that pedestrians can continue jay walking without looking for cars.

So basically, current brown noise will be replaced with trademarked noises with recognizable frequencies.
Domestic US lounges, eh. They're better than the terminal but not worth going out of your way for. Exceptions are the Amex Centurion lounges and certain lounges run by foreign airlines, like the OneWorld first class lounge at LAX run by Qantas—cook-to-order food, full bar, nice showers, etc. All complimentary. Good tacos.

Internationally, it's a different story. At Lufthansa's first class terminal in Frankfurt (yes terminal, not lounge) you have private security and passport control and get driven to your plane in a Porsche across the tarmac. Thai Airway's first class lounge in Bangkok has complimentary sixty minute massages (not that kind). Cathay Pacific's lounges in Hong Kong have full cook-to-order restaurants, foot massages, etc. all complimentary. All Nippon's first class lounges in Tokyo have 17-year-old scotch just sitting out for whoever wants it. Japan Airlines offers a sushi bar—with the sushi chefs right in front of you—and complimentary massages.

Not a bad way to travel. So far I've managed all on award tickets.
I don't follow. Because you spent $3000, it's acceptable to then waste money?

Once again, the $70 brick isn't the thing that's broken when the cord frays, so I'm not sure why you'd be cool with buying another one unless you just have a bunch of fuck-off money.

I'm not sure how math factors into it, but I see how financial sense and thrift do.
Oracle cannot be trusted, and if they give you a code dump, if there is a competing fork then seriously consider whether they should be consulted and supported before you accept the "gift" from Oracle.

What exactly is it you think Oracle did wrong, w/r/t the ASF? They donated code and trademarks, and as far as I can tell, they delivered exactly what they promised. Beyond that , everybody involved in AOO knew about LO from the beginning.. there was no confusion on that point.

If anything, the biggest lesson for AOO should be more about over-dependence on paid developers from one company. But in this case, that "one company" was IBM, not Oracle. AOO was moving along quite well until IBM decided to yank their support and all the paid staff they had working on the project. But then again, everybody involved knew that was a risk, from the beginning.
