> This is only true for apartment dwellers (for now). People who live in houses typically charge at home.

Having stations built in convenient locations means that you can greatly extend your effective range. If I have a car that can drive for 80 miles, then I can only go 40 miles away before reaching bingo 'fuel'. Often, one will leave some buffer.

Doesn't matter if you are picking up someone at the airport, grocery shopping or working. If charging stations are everywhere, then you would only need to worry about how far you can go.

If said stations were also wireless, then one might not have to stop to charge at all.

Well, I think it was never meant to stop people from calling out real parallels, just those egregious uses where it was inappropriate and used only for shock value.

Even the more benign uses of the term probably have some eroding effect on its potency, even if small. "grammar nazi" comes to mind. People sometimes refer to themselves that way somewhat affectionately. We don't see people using "pedophile" the same way. I can't say I think Godwin's original complaint was wrong.
His writing is pretty solid as well.
I'd say it's unclear rather than wrong, and what you say is perfectly correct.

Decibels are useful when dealing with exponential decay, meaning that the output of a process is always proportional to its input. An inverse square law is an example of this more general case, so I think the author is just holding it up as an example, rather than saying it applies to fibres. Other examples are inverse (which holds for fibres as you point out), or any other choice of exponent.
Hand drills are great for when you need to drill pilot holes to install stuff in your dorm room or cheap apartment.

Drilling through metal is where they really fall flat on their face. It's hard to keep a reasonable feed rate if the tool isn't in great condition or the work it not positioned conveniently.

Accuracy also isn't that great, especially where a lot of pressure (metal) is needed or in awkward positions and that's with a power drill. A hand drill that you have to power would be even worse.
Germany has some very strict speech laws because of the whole Hitler thing over half a century ago. It’s illegal to do the Nazi salute, use the Nazi version of the swastika, etc.

NP completeness would still be of interest for particular algorithms because it would prove that those problems could not be solved in polynomial time. For instance, if factoring was shown to be NP complete, that would be a really useful result both for showing the security of algorithms like RSA as well as potentially disproving the extended Church-Turing thesis if quantum computers can be created.
I'm curious how a ruling in this might potentially impact Google (or not). Google is scraping those same profiles, but Linkedin clearly has no issue with that because it drives traffic to their site. But Google is also making money off of those profiles.

How can Linkedin argue that Google be allowed to scrap but other third party cannot?
In practice, I don't think Rust is really particularly well suited for this use case (especially the frontend stuff). But this is a really cool demo nonetheless, and the underlying WebAssembly will be something a lot of languages can use someday.
> It's also evidence, I think, that broken hiring processes do not inherently break a company - or at least a sufficiently profitable one.

Also, it's possible that the hiring processes were broken in her chain, but not everywhere. Her experience doesn't seem to align with what either Google or Damore say (he felt all his female coworkers were equally capable and deserved to be there).

> Google's hiring process is legendarily bad ... the hoop jumping they ask you to go through is... quite amazing

How does having a high standard implicate any other hiring practices? "Bad" in one sense doesn't mean "bad" everywhere, and certainly "bad" for you doesn't mean "bad" for everyone. All that said -- I personally don't wish to go through an interview in which I'm grilled in detail on all the algorithms I reviewed in college. Hence why I don't work at Google.
I’m stretching the definition a little in that case, but I don’t think it’s an untenable stretch. Speech is the act of expressing a thought. Art expresses thoughts as well. A movie, or a painting, or a book also expresses thoughts, which indicates a kind of kinship with speech.

And yet there are movies and books and paintings we probably shouldn’t share with certain people, certain thoughts which should not be expressed to the young. Americans are mostly in agreement with this curtailment of freedom of expression/speech.

As I said, I admit that I’m stretching the definition of speech a little with that example, but I think you’ll agree that the boundary between speech and action can be somewhat blurry at times.

To follow the rule of the land is ironically not very helpful for israel law.

The example of the copied mishna is ironic, because the plaintiff didn't write the selected parts, neither.

The comparison of IP to fish is a huge stretch. Illegal Encroachment is one thing but comparing people to fish is another. Still, I derived a new to me interpretation of intangible (as in not yet caught fish [and thus possibly not going to be caught either])

While the last example is rather topical, it contains no value judgement and still concernes tangible matters. What do the scholars have to say about reasoning by analogy?

Sure, the argument of upfront investment entitling to its fruit is compelling, but it's a slippery sloap init? Its from a time when selling people was a thing. I wouldn't give it too much thought. The article is very one sided and holier than thou in this regard for lack of a better word. (edit: forgive my ignorance, if the slave example is ill conceived)
I'm pretty sure that the answer to that question involves a cat.
This is an interesting read. It is not intertwined with a story I have no interest in. It links to useful references. It has facts, not an opinion to share.
You would have to build a new parallel distribution infrastructure, even if it utilized the same kind of components. New tanker trucks and pipelines for moving the product. Local fueling stations would need new underground tanks to store it. New pumps at the fueling station.

Charging EVs via the grid involves minimal new distribution infrastructure. The grid already supports high loads like the kind that EVs impose and the nightly pattern of EV charging actually complement wind as an energy source.

Flow batteries seem much more promising as utility scale storage for intermittent renewables.
Does anyone think that the NSA doesn't already have surveillance software embedded in DJI firmware?
I'm not Clubber, but I think Google should choose, by their own volition, to accept Daily Stormer in order to promote freedom of speech and an open internet. In the same way sense that the rich "should" donate to charity even if there isn't necessarily a legal or moral obligation to. They should do it because the world is a better place with the open exchange of ideas.
I get your point but there's a really scary implication here that if I run a website I can't just ban any IPs I want that I deem to be abusing my service.

If I spot a bot scraping my data, I should have the right to block it.
>Off camera, at a press briefing later the same day, Sean Spicer responded to questions about the tweet that "the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant." No further explanation was given during the briefing. Some reporters, observing that Spicer did not appear to be joking, were concerned by the implications.
I bums me out that simply interacting with our criminal justice system can be so ruinous that people are reluctant to report crimes.
I thought the same thing, so I disabled f.lux and turned on Nightshift on Mac OS. To my surprise, nothing happened. It turns out that it doesn't work with my monitors for some reason. They are non-Apple and thus not supported. Back to f.lux which works perfectly. Additionally, f.lux has more con-figurability, it's easy to disable quickly if I need to for a short period, etc.

I personally prefer the OS doing less, but more stability and better, and allowing me to customize through apps. I feel that over the last few years, Mac OS has gone "wide" with features and has gotten less stable.
Again, a straw man. I never said the government should force it. Do you support google's censorship? I mean what if they decided a liberal website was over the top and blocked their registration. Or an independent site critical of both Democrats and Republicans because they propose the entire system is corrupt? It works both (all three) ways.

The right to organize protests is guaranteed by the First Amendment, and courts have repeatedly upheld that overbroad information requests can have chilling effects on people exercising their guaranteed rights. You (and the DOJ) don't have a leg to stand on here.
"They" ousted him, but "they" can't force him to leave?

Sounds like a pretty big contradiction.
Cool, so from Google's perspective this is probably an absolute best case scenario: Firefox users tend to be more savvy than iOS users, and Yahoo still claimed at least 25% of users.

So, 3bn is peanuts for 25% of mobile ad revenue, which for google is 50bn/yr.

Apple would probably have to raise the price several times over before Google starts questioning this relationship.
Web developers may be also interested in https://gotham.rs/, which was released very recently and looks to be a promising competitor to Rocket.
I've used mine a lot. Though it'll take other drill bits, I love the way four good sizes are stored on the drill itself.
I don't understand what you mean.

The GP said "you cannot then police what users of that data you consider to be 'public' because it serves your business interest."

Yes, they can.

That sentence is explicitly describing the public expectations of a public service in the government sense. LinkedIn can police whatever they want because of their business interest, precisely because they are a private entity and not a public service in the government provision sense. Despite their offering information to unregistered site visitors, they are within their rights to refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason.

I did not rearrange GP's quote, and GP seemed to be conflating public access with government provision, which is why I brought up the distinction.

Are you saying that you agree with GP that LinkedIn should be compelled by law to provide public access to all?

So the irony of it is that Google blocked their registration to minimize their footprint, yet in doing it, the propaganda they gave the Stormwhatevers will stand to actually increase the footprint.

It's like when we invaded Iraq to fight terrorism (or whatever) and ended up creating one of the strongest terror groups (ISIS) history has seen in a while.

Ya gotta have to face palm. I mean this is nothing new. When you kill the crazy leader, you make him a martyr thus strengthening the group. Worked since at least Christianity.

Maybe Google should stay out of politics.
He was a tremendous fund-raiser. He may have been a great early stage CEO.

Right now the company isn't worth $70B, and is hemorrhaging money. Which is why he agreed to step down. He's clearly been overmatched as CEO for a long while now.
what else, a mere remark? a theorem?
Wow, with a little more work this will be revolutionary.

Hopefully lower prices for consumers, but man will this put alot of immigrants out of jobs.
In the US, the typical circuit max is 15 A. Some outlets provide more (e.g. 20 A for an electric clothes dryer, though those usually run on 240 V).

Microsoft/LinkedIn has so much more juicy and actually private data that nobody can scrape, I don't understand why they would even make a scene and tarnish their image over scraping. They know who declines connection requests from whom, when a CEO starts looking for a new job, and so on.
What if the student decides to use those skills to create their own startup, instead of getting a regular job? How would you get paid?
120V circuits are typically 15A. My kettle is 1500W.
How are they wrong? What kind of recommendations do you want to see?
Yes, I forgot about the Uniting and Strengthening of America's freedoms part. ;)
Drones seem like they need to be more regulated maybe by the FAA.
I and the maniacs I work with should be treated as reponisble adults.

IMHO the issues are never with technology itself, it's the people. And whatever language or technology you are using won't make any difference if the people themselves don't want to work as a team.

> The biggest issue is Flash. You can't run 32-bit plugins in a 64-bit process (well, there are some potential workarounds, but nothing I'd want to do for production work).

On Mac I believe both Firefox and Safari used a separate broker process to go between 32-bit plugins and the 64-bit browser. Is it that much messier to do on Windows?
Zfs isn't the original home of zfs so I'm unclear how using the freebsd port is more recommended at this point than the linux port.
yes. And have been back on the market for half a year or so.
Interesting. Does anyone know how this compares to the legal cases around startups that would scrape Craigslist public data?
No but they can define terms of entry that apply equally to everyone.

E.g. you may enter and look around. You may not take notes, pictures, or otherwise record what is here.
There is no fiduciary duty to allow other shareholders to sell shares. There can be a fiduciary duty to stop it, if it damages the company value. For example, I imagine any sold shares will lower Uber's stated valuation by more than half.
Misfire is an under statement.

Ruining the lives of innocent people because of mob bloodlust is wrong.

Hopefully the doxxers get sued for defamation.
I just want to clear here: a DNS server can't track that you visited a site, only that you request a specific record for a host name.

Is that technically correct?

It stands to reason the average internet user probably then made a visited that IP.
how ad blocker can hurt the speed? I was under impression that by blocking some loads it makes it way faster.
> The first meaning of Macie that was found, said that that name meant “weapon”.

Is macie a french word for weapon? I'm familiar with the English word "mace" that is a weapon but not macie.
This seems like a clear case of GoDaddy and Google stopping political speech they disagree with, not because of illegal activity.

"The story, which attacked Heyer for her physical appearance and referred to her using various offensive epithets, prompted GoDaddy to give Daily Stormer 24 hours to find a new host for its domain."

They'll remove your domain for insulting someone? The internet is full of personal abuse. That can't possibly be the reason.

Is there some reason programmers feel this need to bring up workarounds when I'm looking for an actual solution? If I could count how many answers on StackOverflow are just "well if you use JQuery..." or "Well if you use Boost...".

Address the point the person you're responding to is making, and answer only the questions they are asking. Making assumptions just wastes people's time. I understand you're just trying to help, but it comes across as really condescending.

"You should be doing this you pleb!"

is how I always read these types of responses in my head, and it's really frustrating because often-times I'm already aware of whatever workaround you've mentioned, have already tried it, and know it's not suitable. It's doubly frustrating when you're specifically looking for the solution that's not the workaround.
They still sell iPhone SEs for under $500, although that's debatable about whether it's an actual iPhone or not.
Their main problem is they recommend jobs that people already have. Why would someone quit for an equal job?
The kernel developers would probably accept zfs if they could. The main blocker is a license incompatibility issue, which is worked around by distributing zfs in source code form.
I am making the equivalence between attacking those who's opinions are different then yours. There have been more people injured by anitfa then the other way around at these rally's and protests.

An automobile isn't a missile. One is designed for war and destruction, the other is a mode of transportation that can be used as a weapon.
I lean towards yes, but only for me.

I suspect biological diversity also applies to our minds (mental diversity).

Fuuny story behind covfefe:

I tried purchasing minutes after the tweet to find out someone had already purchased it. I reached out to the guy (midnight) to buy it but he didn't want to sell it. I offered my ideas on what he could to capitalize on the opportunity and so I ended up building up a store front with shirts/, coffee mugs, sweaters and other merch. I basically didn't sleep that night. I built the site, responded to purchase emails, etc.

It took some time to get the storefront ready because of issues with the forwarding (GoDaddy) but when we got it set up, we started seeing traffic. Not before long, sales. This thing started blowing up and as memes would start trending, I would immediately create new merchandise based on the memes and within minutes that same merchandise I had just created would sell. It was surreal.

We were up to ~$2k in profits with who knows how much revenue. Many emails started arriving and the owner would just forward them to me as (I think) he was not as savvy with business/negotiation/etc or just plain intimidated. It got so crazy that at one point Bloomberg and Inc.com reached out via phone to him and he told them about what we had done.

I kept pushing for him to put up the domain for sale on flippa.com and even got the director of the domains department to contact him directly. I also reached out to local newspaper outlets who were more than ready to write the story but since we weren't "partners", it wasn't "as" interesting. He promised to give me a stake in everything but I guess things and people got to his head.

As time went on, he starting drifting from the idea of selling because he thought he had hit something enormous. Which he did, just not the way he thought. He pitched me the idea to build an ecommerce store where he would basically sell anything (Amazon). I told him the only exit here is selling but if he wanted to go that route, he could (try) to build a brand (???). I insisted that the risk of continuing with anything other than selling the domain at peak hype was too great. That is, anything past hype days (1-4 days after the tweet) would drive the "value" to zero.

The days past and the opportunity quickly came to a close. He was offered (past hype time) $15k which he said he wouldn't take as anything below $X00k was dumb. Regardless, I kept pushing for him to sell the damn thing just so I could tell the story at the very least. He then told me he had partnered up with his brother (a lawyer), another marketing guy and he wanted me to take part in the team. He had me speak to his lawyer about equity for a whole 30 minutes which, again, I thought was ridiculous as I told him that this would soon die, if it hadn't already. We spoke over Facetime but soon enough, he kicked me off the storefront admin, stopped answering and now he still has the same domain forwarding to his merch store.

I think if he had acted quicker, he could have sold for at least $20k-$50k at the peak of the hype. Even if he sold at the solid $15k offer, he could have earned himself a great story.

Whenever there is a free market, market participants do what they can to restrict the market. This is the nature of the free market.
Not necessarily; it's just arbitrage. If they can get cheap advertising and it converts well, then selling more expensive ads would make sense.
So at least according to this P != NP. I’ve always been skeptical of this just because if you find an efficient optimal algorithm the problem moves between the classes.
That's a good question, thanks for keeping the gray cells going.

So the internet was created with public funds; you and I paid for it. The registrars were then privatized, which I don't particularly have a problem with, but since the internet was created with public funds, it should allow the freedoms the government gives us.

Like I said, I'm not suggesting Google be forced to do it, but the US government should run a "public option" registrar that protects the freedom of speech / expression that putting up a website provides. If the government feels like they should ban a website, allow it to go through the court system and see if they agree. With privatization, we don't have the court system to go through (well we do, but since it's a private company, courts probably won't hear it.) That would be a good solution for me. Let Google keep their censoring and data collection if they want.
Ouch, and 17% seems quite steep? Hm. It might be cheaper compared to a student loan in the USA, but in Australia, you can attend university and get a degree for roughly that cost (or cheaper, from what I understand).
yup, smart dude, learned plenty as a self-taught network grunt subscribed to nanog in the 2000-era and hanging out on irc, listening to guys like rs
If men changed jobs more often than women [1], or sent more applications to other companies (as a means of getting a raise at their current company), could that anecdotally make it seem like the ratio is more skewed than it really is?

I mean, if men are more often "candidates" for moving between jobs, then it would, right?

If that were true, then an employer wanting a more loyal or longer term employee might seek out more women.

[1] I have no evidence for any of this.
Do they even need to? If we assume the network is compromised and that the third party servers are compromised or can be with a warrant why bother owning the drones?
Yeah, Gotham looks promising, and it has even better document than Rocket. It's always good to see more competitors coming around.
