I don't know if anyone has been arrested for "click-fraud" yet, but we have seen an attempt to use the DMCA to force people to view adverts, under the theory that the adverts are part of "a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected":

If the terms of use of a website forbid you accessing that site with an ad-blocker installed, then arguably a user could be guilty under something like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act if they did not comply. Rather than going after the individual users, though, (a tactic which was largely abandoned for dealing with torrenting), the publishers of a website could potentially try suing the makers of an ad-blocker.

Under theories of "vicarious infringement" and conspiracy (such as is used against sites like The Pirate Bay and other search engines which ISPs are required to block in some countries), I wouldn't be surprised if we one day see browser makers liable for the extensions they "allow" to be installed in "their" browsers, and then OS distributors held liable for browsers that they allow to be installed on "their" OS.

It is worth noting that ultimately it will be hardware-enforced TPM / Secure Boot technology that makes such laws and injunctions feasible. We need to be careful what precedents are set by projects like Pale Moon, and the sort of technological ecosystems we are building.
It's not like they can really inspect the contents of your bin before the machinery dumps it all into the truck. You'd have to do something really dumb to get caught. Those rules really depend on most people not being dicks about it.
It's a matter of degree, not kind. It's much more of a hassle to compile a custom version of the program than to modify the default configuration, but the point is that in both cases there's a default that does something that the user doesn't want.
BS full rebuild for a project with 300 takes around 3s. Incremental per-file compilation is below three digits of ms.
Honestly leaving salesforce is a piece of cake if it weren't for the ecosystem of other tools and integrations. A few years back I did a simple export of all our salesforce data and made a demo of a salesforce clone and if that wasn't good enough it was easy to import into sugar crm. 1 out of 40 salesman complained it wasn't exactly the same so they stayed and went full force with plugins and now it's a web of plugins that's harder to escape. As soon as a salesman sees a ad for "this plugin will make your life easier and your job " it's done, they setup a demo with our CEO and beg for it like it's a Christmas pony.
Central/eastern Europe is pretty good as far as disasters go. The most likely thing to happen is flooding from the local river and majority of them have designated flood areas. After that it's just heat waves and occasional freezing days. (Mostly affects elderly) No wildlife to worry about. Snow is common enough that a lot of people know to switch to winter tyres and roads are salted and cleared.
Thanks for the effort. I had the same experience. I just closed the tab and forgot about it. Any site so poorly designed doesn't deserve to be read IMO :)

Personally I can't tolerate for too long a software that I have to fight with everyday to make it work the way I want.

With Firefox it started with a few small changes but in the end I have found myself working on an userPrefs.js with hunders of lines, compiling the source with custom build flags and patches just to have a browser that doesn't spy actively on me.

I really hope it won't happen with PaleMoon too but this isn't a good sign.

I'm sure the complexity is not what drives the price so high...if you would replace Vacheron Constantin with Foxconn you wouldn't sell it for $1000 regardless of its complexity.
Many luxury brands place ridiculous prices on specific items so that they can increase the sales of less expensive models.
Extra good point for security. It's easy for us to say we are using 10k security product to make 60k customer happy but we can also brag to any customer from there on.
Is it just perception or is 'prepping' becoming mainstreamed?
I am inclined to agree with twiceaday on this, even with the qualifier of people involved to complexity. Obviously, if you factor in the entire supply chain for the whole industry, the semiconductor/electronics/plastics industry is higher, but I expect there are several ties in the quartz watch system where there are few people involved but huge amounts of complexity. The layout and routing of the microcontroller and the hard real-time operating system that runs on a moderately feature-rich watch have orders of magnitude more lines of code (not a precise measure of complexity, but it's close) than even the entire count of teeth on the gears of this watch.

In fact, the argument that this involves fewer people seems to point to it being less complex. If one guy with a CNC micro lathe and some metal stock could make a precision clock like Chris of Clickspring, and a quartz watch takes huge industries with thousands of people, isn't the latter definitely more complicated?
You're correct. The spec only specifies that "onFulfilled or onRejected must not be called until the execution context stack contains only platform code." This doesn't require that the implementation use the same macro-task scheduling mechanism that setTimeout might use.
That's odd advice- the selection and prices at Dan Murphy's (liquor retailer owned by supermarket chain Woolworths) are far superior to any boutique I've seen, plus they have regular tastings so you can decide for yourself.

I've found price and quality poorly correlated with Aussie wines: the big brands are cheap and unexciting but very dependable, while small producers tend to be expensive and wildly inconsistent.
My Mom is a hardcore vegan. She inherited a cat that was unwanted. Mom was not about to feed that cat meat. Despite the comments here, there does exist vegan cat food and my mom fed that cat vegan cat food for the last 10 years of its life. The cat lived to be 19 years old.

TLDR; it's possible for a cat to survive on vegan cat food (even if its not recommended). I know from experience.

If I recall correctly, it was this food:

That's good. That's one of those things (like the home interest tax deduction) that seems like a terrible idea we already have and is near political suicide to actually get rid of. At best people can just keep chipping away at it until it's affectively gone.
The usual way to do this is to convert latitude and longitude to ECEF (Earth centered, Earth fixed) coordinates.[1] This includes the corrections for the Earth being slightly pear-shaped. Then, given 3-element vectors for each point, compute the great circle distance between those points based on simple spherical geometry. This works everywhere, including at the poles.

The FCC formula is based on the old V and H coordinate system that the Bell System used for long distance in the electromechanical era. That was for North America.

There's tons of code out there for this, because every GPS device with a map has to do these calculations.

>the big brands are cheap and unexciting

I admit I'm an awful wine snob: I can't drink cheap, mass-produced wine and I love inconsistency - I'm happy to be disappointed on occasion when more often that not, with the guidance of an experienced wine shop owner, I'm going to get something exciting from a small producer.

While Dan Murphy's range might on the surface seem comparable to say, Sydney's Oak Barrel: if you know you want a non-typical French red (say, not a Bordeaux blend or Bourgogne pinot noir), the latter has a truly wider selection away from the generic, sellable reds. Plus, the staff are crazy knowledgeable and I often walk in saying "I want something great for $20" and they'll honestly get me the best available in that price range.

Exactly right. Especially the last two points are important: no mirrors by default and depends which nodes copy and cache your files. The big challenge ahead for them is how to get various implementations (Filecoin ideally) to make it simple to get dependable nodes to copy/cache/return/etc your files when needed. I'm very excited about it and think they will get there, just important to understand the present vs. future of what works and may work.
I took about a 120k paycut to work whenever and wherever I please. My SAAS app provides me a nice middle-class salary and continues to grow mostly on its own. I don't have to deal with being a "true believer", repeated "temporary" crises, unreasonable deadlines, etc. No backstabbing office politics.

More importantly, with a self-enforced 10 hour work week I have lots of time to improve my tradecraft, explore pet projects, take care of my body, etc. I feel in control of my own life, rather than chasing other people's dreams.
I feel like there's this major unseen propaganda war between us and Russia for the minds of Americans..and sadly we're losing... in a BIG way...

Because of the stock splits that another commenter mentioned, it looks like this is actually asking a rather different question (more like "What would the price be to buy 100 then-current shares of MSFT at each moment from 1991 until today?").
Yep, same here. For me it had to be at least 5 years ago.

In my experience, the method described here works very well in practice:

http://wwwf.imperial.ac.uk/~rn/distance2ellipse.pdf

(this is linked to from the stackoverflow post)

Finding the closest point for an ellipsoid is more challenging in practice, because one needs to take a different parametrization near a pole, and sometimes conjugate gradient is necessary to get convergence.
Mild TBI:

"While MRI and CAT scans are often normal, the individual has cognitive problems such as headache, difficulty thinking, memory problems, attention deficits, mood swings and frustration.

[...]

Common Symptoms of Mild TBI

Fatigue
Headaches
Visual disturbances
Memory loss
Poor attention/concentration
Sleep disturbances
Dizziness/loss of balance
Irritability-emotional disturbances
Feelings of depression
Seizures

[...]

These symptoms may not be present or noticed at the time of injury. They may be delayed days or weeks before they appear. The symptoms are often subtle and are often missed by the injured person, family and doctors."

I've seen the video, it sums up my thought pretty well. I knew all of it already though. But now I'm really confused, I thought we were disagreeing?

I'm exactly saying that I believe the ability to quickly run and test your program is most important, more so then to prove properties from its code description. And that's specifically the strengths of Lisp dialects like Clojure. Are you saying something different?

For me it is a theory that needs validation. I am not an expert in genetics but I think we still have a long way to know how the genes map to features.

> I don't really see distinctive features amongst bipolar or schizophrenic people...

What you don't see them doesn't mean they are not there. It could be something subtle. If one change in chromosome leads to a lot of mental and physical changes it could mean things like people with better maths skills grows faster the nails. And I repeat, this is a theory for me that still needs to be probed or at least more data. But I wouldn't discard it so fast. What this company is doing is going somehow in this direction. What do you think about the company of the article?
IMHO TypeScript/Flow missing pieces are 1) runtime side of type system (match) and 2) expressions instead of statements. Those two things complete the type system reaping rewards from annotating code with types. Both TS and Flow have reservations on adding those constructs to the language as it requires runtime support (match) and would be seen as too far departure from js (changing statement -> expression semantics).

The unwritten motto of TS/Flow is "stripe type annotations and you've got vanilla js". Adding support for match and expressions would mean adding runtime dependency and transformations which would violate this 1-1 symmetry.

This is a shame because type annotations are the hard/boring/sacrifice part, runtime matching is easy/fun/benefit out of it and expressions are just... I don't have words... - why would you think of making any of those statements? It's just pure limitation, adding verbosity, without any reason.

They're also lower weight, which makes the fact that they have higher total power and peak current even more impressive. They're ideal for not just emergency flashlights because of their longer storage time, but also for anything where you care about weight and power like a backpacking headlamp or bike light. It's just amazing chemistry.

It surprises me that alkaline batteries are holding on as well as they are. If something with the performance difference between alkaline and lithium ion disulfide came along for rechargeable lithium ion cells, every manufacturer would be on it just as fast as they could possibly pivot their supply chains. I guess people just don't care about primary cells as much.

>>Glock 17 and a years' worth of ammo, so I don't need to stockpile the other stuff, you are doing it for me

Great, you have a sidearm that presumably fires 9mm ammunition that you are qualified to shoot downrange. I stock pile not only food, water, and medical supplies, but carry a 9mm of my own and have far more useful home defense weaponry in the form of a Mossberg 500 Flex (as well as various rifles that I don't expect to be all that handy if things really do go down). I also own ballistic vests.

If you wanted to be edgy about looting people, you could have picked something besides a sidearm.
I don't use Pale Moon but it has been around for a while. It got a boost when Firefox switched to the Australis interface and people who didn't like it switched to Pale Moon. And it has been getting another boost because of Firefox getting rid of the old extension model.
Mostly emulating what phpMyAdmin can do, the time spent for a elasticsearch beginner trying to figure out how to clear a index without losing or having to rebuild their mapping is insane, basically the answer is just don't and just copy your mapping but if something could easily extract that and say flush index then awesome. Creating mappings is a nightmare if you don't remember what types they have and it would be insanely simple to do the phpMyAdmin style of create table where you type in a "column" name and then use the drop down for the type "string, date, geo point".
Few years ago I spent time on Omegle. I got to speak with Chinese guys. Their first question was often about how we liked China (maybe invested in national pride, or worried).

I love most asian things so I could gladly list much many things I liked from China. Even after that happy introduction, the discussion went into "you know China is not all good" then listing a few problems. So far nothing surprising. But then a weird silence occured and all of a sudden, the other user started to nervously type "nono, forget it, I said nothing; oh my god .." * user disconnected *

that's what real lack of freedom of speech is.
For more on the mindset of survival, I highly, highly recommend the book "Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why" [1]

The author explores a bunch of real-life disaster/survival stories and gets into the mindset qualities displayed by the individuals who survive vs. those that don't.

Towards the end he lists the 10 major mental attitudes that will greatly contribute to a successful outcome.

It is one of my all-time favorite books, I have read it 10+ times.

I think the main concerns is that the following code happens in the expected order.

console.log("First");

promise.then(_ => console.log("Third"));

console.log("Second");

This means that even if `promise` is fulfilled already the callback must be delayed at least until the next turn of the event loop.

The way this article is written suggests that the whole clock was modeled on a computer, and that they even used a constraint solving system to figure out the gearing:

"I rely on these equations and the powerful software to find a solution with our input. It's a question of using these tools to find new solutions."

Also notice the quote towards the end that they were able to redesign the whole drive train just to make it a bit thinner.

What I'm trying to say is that this watch has little in common with what people assume is a "hand made and designed watch".

So this watch feels more like your later example, where you have the huge (computer) industry behind it.
