If one wanted a primer on all the possible legal ways for websites to invade one's privacy, this privacy policy would be a good comprehensive list. Not unexpected, as they sell personal information as their business, but having all these methods listed out in detail really brings home how much information is collected when you are online.
John,

our beacons are commercially deployed in many verticals. SDK together with Cloud does allow some provisioning and security mechanisms.

Since beacons broadcast public Bluetooth signals we don't want any app/device to know their location in a venue that is not provisioned for the application.

For example you don't want AliBaba mobile app to know you are in Best Buy, next to console games.

That's why we do have optional encryption mechanism and our ToS prohibits reverse engineering our SDK.

Our customer have access via APIs to almost all raw data, so if they want to improve accuracy for their application they can do it.

It is and in my experience small consulting shops are a lot more open to folding if something goes bad and reopening as a different entity or with a slightly different group of people. Any larger firm or group that's in it for the Long haul doesn't have that option.

The more I think about it the more it seems like small consulting shops basically are team based comoensation, but it still ends up with 1-2 people deciding who gets paid what more often than not

"""
Application Load Balancers provide native support for HTTP/2 with HTTPS listeners. You can send up to 128 requests in parallel using one HTTP/2 connection. The load balancer converts these to individual HTTP/1.1 requests and distributes them across the healthy targets in the target group using the round robin routing algorithm. Because HTTP/2 uses front-end connections more efficiently, you might notice fewer connections between clients and the load balancer. Note that you can't use the server-push feature of HTTP/2.

Please note our Location Beacons with UWB have two radios:
- Bluetooth (BLE) that is low-power and can give few meters positioning accuracy
- Ultra-wide-band (UWB) that's not low-power, but can give inch-precision.

This Robot Operating System (ROS) SDK does use both radios. We use BLE and Bluetooth mesh to power UWB that are nearby to preserve energy of the system.
That is true, but if the government orders you to no longer be in that area then you are legally unable to live in it, correct? On whose side does the damage fall when this occurs in Texas is my question. The tenant who has to pay rent for a good they can no longer use, or the landlord whose investment can no longer make money

What I presented was an extreme example but the point stands. Obviously things like Windows OS, iOS, etc. are projects that benefitted from an increase in manpower and this increase in manpower did not stifle development or cause delays. It is true that doubling the manpower does not double progress. It's not a linear relationship.
I'm going to apply that to my attempts at learning to program.
About twenty five years ago a bank allowed someone to cash checks with my name on them with all the correct account info on them as well, but was a different race and gender than I am (the banks had video of the customer). They did this about a dozen times for checks for what I assume was just under the amount that would flag it (about $2000) to empty my account over the course of about an hour, using different drive throughs at different branches in Houston, I lived in Austin at the time and had never visited a branch in Houston.
Yes, libel is correct.

They absolutely should have known it was wrong -- their business is lending money to people! If their procedure is insufficient, they should have fixed this.

I would love to see the banks sued for libel, a massive class action suit. There are real monetery damages it one could put a number on, and the difference between a bad and a good 30 year mortgage will be a big number.
But in Denmark, one pays high taxes which, among other things, go towards subsidising higher education:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Denmark
Under the Danish tax system, it is possible for a high-wage earner to pay up to 51.5% of their total income after gross tax, giving a total of 57% of total income.
I wonder how much money is spent on students playing catch-up after enrolling into colleges because they can barely read, write or do basic math. I've seen plenty of this kind of thing in study groups during my 2 years of community college and it was really fascinating to witness this level of illiteracy especially having lived in Eastern Europe where even the poorest of poor received good public education. It's absolutely awful and there had to be significant money invested to keep that going. Our public schools are an absolute disaster and cutting costs to higher education should start here. I don't know what this entails. Perhaps paying teachers more in order to attract more talent? Replace GEDs with night schools for adults without age restrictions?
Yes. At least they were smart enough not to buy options. :-)

Well in stable market conditions, the tail of the group of people who get diplomas, ranged by their ROI, will get somewhat negative overall ROI. That's how it should be - i.e. most people - the smarter ones for who education makes sense, get positive ROI, and some relatively small group of people who can't really benefit from education but have fooled themselves into thinking they can, get zero or slightly negative ones. Then comes a group of people who clearly can't benefit and know it. The system reached a stable state - colleges get maximum number of clients they possibly can and get max revenue, it doesn't make sense for many more people to join in, and it doesn't make sense for many existing to stay if prices go further up.

As with oil production for example (see 'marginal barrel') people at the end of this tail don't really benefit, but the system in general is still good, most people benefit.

Should we stop hurricanes, even if we can?

Yes, hurricanes are destructive, especially to human settlements, but I'd be surprised if there aren't massive ecological benefits to hurricanes in spite of (or possibly because of) the destruction. Forest fires, for example, have well-documented, long-term ecological benefits. Unfortunately it looks like hurricanes aren't studied as much as forest fires.

Just doing some cursory researching online [1] [2], it looks like they basically act as dramatic "flushing" mechanisms:

- end droughts

- distribute heat from the equator towards the poles

- seed dispersal

- redistribute soil/sediments along coastlines and inlane

It sounds to me like they may not see the value in preserving languages (not "anything"), whether widely spoken or not.

I don't see much value in maintaining the regular, daily use of any particular language, but I see tremendous value in preserving the written works (and nowadays spoken audio) of every language. It provides informative data to anyone seeking to understand language, history, and culture, today and in the future.

For the same reason, I support preserving all source code, even from discontinued or unfinished or shitty software. I have no idea what types of analysis might be possible in 500 years, but I don't want to deny them the opportunity to try it.

The problem with Vagrant was always that the other backends besides VirtualBox were second class citizens because of image and config file incompatibility between backends. And VB is pretty bad, the driver side was always crashy on Linux and it conflicts with the native virtualization drivers on Mac, Windows and Linux.

So there were good reasons to avoid it before Docker too.
Well, privates that are unused or only used by something like

$method = 'get' . $command;
$this->$method;

are marked in grey. Which means some methods that you need to keep are grey. Not necessarily helpful. And other methods you want to deleted are not grey.

(The solution to that is "write code that doesn't suck", but alas, dead code tends to be a bigger problem in code that you didn't write.)

But as others have said, the unused code that keeps me busy is the stuff that says:

if($this->option->isTurnedOn()) {
$this->doStuff();
} else {
$this->doThat();
}

Sometimes it turns out that everyone uses it in the non-default state. Then there's the cases where everyone wants to use it in the non-default state, they just don't know the option can be toggled.

> The unsaid assumption in your comment, that I disagree with, is that harvesting animals causes anymore suffering than caring for and harvesting plants (in a humane manner, which admittedly, many facotry farms fail at on either side.)

Couldn't you argue that since in order to harvest animals you must harvest plants for the animals to eat. So definitely more suffering is produced by harvesting animals. This is amplified even more so when you consider that you have to harvest more plants for producing meat than you would if you just ate the plants.

They usually get people for panicking when they're investigated.

People often play that safe by not remembering much of anything, but that can also bite you if you remember later.
See, while I can see how college could be unaffordable for the poor, I don't think it is particularly expensive, for what you get. Hell, paying full freight at Stanford is only two teslas for your undergrad, and that degree is going to impress a lot more people for a lot longer than having a fancy car for ten years, and I understand you only pay full freight if you are loaded.

Berkeley is even cheaper, and at least by what you are likely to learn, if not who you will learn with, better. You can go to Berkeley for four years for less than the cost of one of those giant trucks that are often paired with artistically applied recreational mud and confederate battle flags, if you've got housing covered elsewhere.

As far as luxury goods go, College is an excellent value, and that is only one of the ways you can derive value from college.

But yes, college, I think, is a good deal, an excellent value. But it's not affordable for the poor, even state and community colleges, which in California are pretty close to free, well, you need to be able to afford not to work for that time.

But... my point is that if you want to make college more affordable, you should focus on subsidizing it, not on cost-cutting. Education, I think, is that last thing a society wants to make worse.

Are we being tolerant of the commenter?

Or are we tolerant of Apple and favouritism?

I should have split the last two carefully but I'll leave it as is, deliberately.

Are we all just vaguely aware of the existence of a delusion in which we have been deprived of accurate evaluation of Apple, equally as anyone? Does only professional exposure to the market information, save us from a delusion?

Important to also ask, is the delusion that Apple is the preferred professional choice a established popular belief?

Edit:
Deleted parenthetical superfluous comments in 1st last paragraphs, only linking continued argument in my profile. I was interested in discussing the possibility of delusions becoming more frequent, even among the least likely to be influenced professions. This intrigues me, and I ponder whether, if you can clearly convince political beliefs, is it possible to engineer a exodus to a Facebook replacement that isn't a tool that can be purposed for political delusion creation? I have become scared to even think about how me could possibly never be able to tell what the truth is around us.
Unemployment is at record lows. Where are you getting that people aren't getting jobs?
I think it's one of those things where people have difficulties realizing the scale of things. For example hurricane Irma is the size of Texas or France. If it hits Florida, people won't need to evacuate Miami, they'll need to evacuate Florida. Think of the logistics it takes to evacuate a whole state basically overnight, and the size of a threat causing such event: if we barely have the know-how to run away in time, do you think we would have any know-how to block something of that magnitude?
The community is built on Vagrant-VB configs and images, so you don't really get the main benefit of Vagrant if you want to use it with something else than VirtualBox.

I understand your point but without a diversity of degrees I think there will also be a loss. Perhaps not an obvious, quantifiable loss. If everyone got a STEM degree in Denmark (include economics and finance) I think the consequences would be as bad if everyone got a degree in history. Having a society in which people care about others and want to live in requires more than quantifiable utility.

I think focusing on "marketable" is not a good governmental policy. It seems to me that education is the correct level of focus in terms of governmental policy.
My anecdata from working quite a few years at big tech companies where most of the staff began as technical and then some went off to get business degrees to advance into management, is that the biggest change was they started using a lot of business school buzz words and attached much more importance to spreadsheets and presentations than they used to.

i used vagrant with libvirt/qemu at my last job and it worked just fine though...

the only problem i had was updating base boxes, but that was self inflicted because it was easier to make a function to delete them from the libvirt cache than maintaining proper versioning.

/edit: i just realized from your other comments that you're probably constraining yourself to prebuild baseboxes. you really shouldn't. its trivial to built them with packer [1] and there are lots of config files on github[2] to do just that. This makes it possible to really tweak them for full integration right after 'vagrant up'

In some states the collection of the fee is not relevant. All that is relevant in these states is that you do or do not have a alicense to practice and that you were conducting work that is typically conducted by an attorney and you are providing legal advice. In some states just the act of typing a Motion for someone who is representing themselves in open court is practicing law without a license unless you have passed your bar exam. You can get in trouble for drafting a Motion for your spouse and vice versa unless you are an attorney representing your spouse.

Legal advice should be limited to someone who is an attorney. There are ways around that giving of advice, you can say, "if air were in that position I would do xyz." Or "when that happened to me my attorney said I should xyz."

Practicing law without a license is a crime albeit one not often prosecuted unless you are representing yourself as an attorney and in most cases that involves the transfer of monies for those legal services but not always.
