Sounds pretty likely. Sadly, I already have free credit monitoring from Equifax due to a previous identity theft incident. It's free for me, but paid for by another company that got hacked.
S/he didn't make this up. History is the study of the past trough written records.

The word has been since overloaded to be the study of the past. Which is fine, except that leaves no reason for the word pre-history
Prices for most common goods (especially food) were fixed by the government in Eastern Bloc countries, usually they stayed the same over decades. The quality, especially for imported stuff (like coffee) could vary drastically, but the price stayed the same. For 'bread buns, rolls' (or whatever they are called outside Germany) the price in Eastern Germany was fixed at 10 Pfennig since forever, and it was commonly called a "10er Semmel" because of this (or a "fiver" for the small version).

I have a very vague recollection that Linux may be dependent on gcc specific features that clang doesn't intend to support?

EDIT: "One of the major compilation problems with LLVM/CLang is that they do not support VLA’s ... widely used inside the linux kernel." from [1]

There was some activity over the prior six months or so to get lld to link the kernel (can't recall if it was built by gcc or clang for those tests).

Why I Don't Have a Girlfriend [pdf]
I have long been arguing among friends and family that in the future it should be ILLEGAL to manually operate your vehicle without a special license. That license, would require to obtain it, a much more vigorous examination and approval than we currently have at the DMV. So, for those determined to manually operate their vehicle, there would always be the means for them to do so. But it should be sufficiently difficult that the average joe doesn't pursue it, given the utility of the self driving car.
We've increased it by about 50% since the industrial revolution, from about 280ppm to 410ppm. You can tell both from isotope analysis and inventory studies most of the ongoing excess is down to humans.

Also, I'm not sure what in that statement is even up for debate, does anyone question that a concentration of CO2 in a volume of space absorbs light at particular wavelengths? It's core science, and a straightforward calculation.

That's the way juries work. I was on one two years ago and was pretty frustrated with the way the defense presented facts. But you have to live with what you are presented with and can't ask any questions even if you think there are gaps.
If I see any actual journalists being sued in vexatious lawsuits, I have no doubt that I'll feel the urge to defend them. Sorry, that doesn't include gossip rags and muckrakers. Exposing the private sexual activities of Hulk Hogan and any parties he has intercourse with is not journalism and does not implicate freedom of press as far as I am concerned. Why not also publish the private nude photos of "The Fappening" under the guise of "reporting" that those actresses happen to be the types of people who take nude photos of themselves? Is that too journalism?

The people associated with these organizations have a history of going after people they don't like, and using the power of media to attack them. Yet now we're supposed to side with them when the people they've attacked strike back using the power of the courts?

I respectfully decline to sympathize with them.

If greatness is subjective AND task specific, then the languages you will never declare great could be considered great by others for the tasks they perform. And by your own admission if they were great subjectively AND for a particular task, that would make those languages great. But, you still claim that you would never declare them great?

Knowledge and learning can be it's own reward. But if you need the motivation to build something you know has already been done, and probably done better, think about it as building the skills necessary to create something of value later.

Also, as you build and learn you'll discover new things you could be learning and come up with solutions to problems that haven't been solved.

If they are rarely showing up, then they are not shaping the debate or likely doing anything but voting, assuming they are not merely having minimal quorums and slacking on that as well; this inherently cedes all initiative and the public debate, and is a huge loss of power. Imagine a president who didn't bother to give speeches, travel, propose new legislation, or do much beyond veto occasional legislation. How much power would he have? Darn little. And they then lost most of that.

> Can you explain why you think the quote about 432 landowners is a lie and what it's trying to trick people into thinking?

It is a lie because it is implying that most or all of them are aristocrats and implying 'private individuals' is a synonym for them and trying to get the reader to not notice that technically 'individuals and corporations' != aristocrats and in fact many or most of them likely are not because of the massive decimation in aristocratic wealth, while not even trying to make the case for that; it is pure begging the question, it cannot add any evidence to the claim the aristocracy still controls as large a fraction of national wealth as it ever did (at best, you could reason backwards - 'assuming they are still wealthy, then a large fraction of those 432 must be aristocrats').

Google Developer Account Wrongly Terminated NO MEANS OF DISCOURSE
Here's the long and short of it:

My brother in law requested I write an app for him, and in return I only asked him to pay the $25 registration fee to open a developer account with google. I was happy to develop the app for him. I am a student and it was great practice.

The problem arrives when he has fraud issues on his card, and so mistakenly issues a chargeback for the google registration fees amidst the confusion and immediately closed his account completely, so there is no possibility of reversing the chargeback.

Well this one little mistake has REALLY made my life difficult, and may in fact result in a lifetime ban from developing android apps, which would be devastating because I am studying Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University and I LOVE to develop apps and code.

Google terminated my developer account, suspended my google payments account (which prevented the purchase of a class textbook I needed), and even deactivated my email account for this. It took me a week to successfully get my payments account and email account back up.

I have filed an appeal for the termination 3 times in the last 3 weeks, all with NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. I've attempted to contact Google, with no success. It is impossible to get a hold of anyone who actually deals with developer account reinstatement, and I cannot find ANY resources to determine a way to provide documentation that proves the termination was made in error.

I have done absolutely nothing wrong and yet it is looking like I may be banned from doing something I love for the rest of my life (not to mention having no apps to add to my portfolio).

Somebody please help me resolve this issue, this little mistake (not even my own) has been a complete nightmare, and Google seems to be completely indifferent and utterly unhelpful.

If anybody knows any way to help, please do so! I would be eternally grateful!

The trouble is the interaction between juries, the adverserial system and expert witnesses.

In general, I am in favour of the former two. But the fact is that you can get a "expert" to say anything you like. I expect this can be bad enough in a Civil Law court, because even educated judges can be bamboozled. It's worse in the Common Law system, because it provides a platform where made-for-the-event, fruadulent expertise gets the same platform as its opponent.

textarea.onkeydown = event => {

// doesn't get the properties until they're accessed

// doesn't actually call .slice yet
const get selectedText = value.slice(selectionStart, selectionEnd);

// ...

if (event.key === "Enter") {

// initializes selectedText
console.log("selected text: " + selectedText);

// uses the same value, doesn't reinitialize it
selectedText;
}

Definition of dead should be "can't connect to a node" not based on market cap. For example, BlakeBitcoin is alive as far as I can tell, bc merge mined with Blakecoin. You can totally fire up a client and transact in BBTC. Now it may not be worth much or have liquidity on an exchange, but that is not "dead" just "cheap".
In reality the new credit agency model's been tested once, and it failed.
Maybe, the suggested demise of Equifax, the extreme perpetrator of neglect in this particular case, should lose the ability to print money, much like Symantec and other ssl cert issuers (identity certifies) for their recklessness; perhaps that doesn't go far enough.

Maybe the whole commercial enterprise of credit reporting (and identity verification) needs to be dramatically reworked in a more modern, sane design, with different governance and oversight.
Which makes your statement (that you have sufficient control to prevent the possibility of theft of your property) completely invalid. You can do everything right, and through no fault of your own have things go wrong.
Police unions are common enough around the world, but internal controls are generally better than we hear about in the US (and I suspect it varies within America as well).

I suspect part of the problem is that police forces run by smallish localities, which can't have the same level of training and oversight as larger jurisdictions. But that's only part of the problem: major US cities also seem to have problems.
what a loser
There are 8 billion people on Earth. You are a number sometimes. It's okay for {your passport, your driver's license, your social security card, your credit card, your bank accounts, etc} to treat your account as a number.

The SSN just acts as a (largely) unique identifier. In the US, it also serves as proof that someone is eligible to work in the country. It's also the primary key for the account which collects my Social Security earnings over my career.

You are asking the wrong question. Neither of the keys you identify, whether it be "123-45-6789" or "JohnHarrySmith19900101NewYork", is "secure". Perhaps the latter has more entropy, but it's not the equivalent of your password when you log into a website -- it's the equivalent of your username. When you fill out a federal form like your tax form, anyone who sees the form sees your Social Security number.

If we were talking about making Social Security secure, your Social Security card would be plastic/metal and have a chip in it, similar to an EMV chip. It would have a private key which can be used to sign digital contracts and can be used to generate login tokens. It's effectively a private key that generates different public keys for each interaction/transaction you need to perform with it. Right now, Social Security is entirely about "what you know" with an easy to fabricate "what you have" and has no "who you are" factors.

I doubt it will ever be a standard. Amazon loves vendor lock in. Plus most of the cloud services love to do their own thing for each service type. The main exception seems to be Kubernetes. Google has it in GCE, and Amazon has said they are working on their own Kubernetes service. If that happens, I bet Azure will follow if they aren't already working on it.
Sorry, what I meant was: that's not happening because the status quo is better for the people who make the rules. :)

It's worth noting, though, that many forms of actual "free" legal advice still come with serious professional obligations on the part of the lawyer. Pro-bono work, public defenders, contingency basis, etc are free to some extent, but nonetheless create a client relationship that is at least nominally as serious as one that is paid for.

There is a reason that lawyers online are very quick to point out that they are not opening up such a relationship.

That seems reasonable, up to a point, but it also looks potentially self-serving and open to abuse (especially given the news about stock sales by insiders.) If a company in a position with this level of risk cannot staunch the leak within hours, it should be required to curtail its activities to the extent necessary to stop further leakage, until it has the proximate cause of the problem under control.

Nor should the instigation of credit monitoring be delayed until the investigation is complete. To pick a contemporary analogy, it would be like not informing the public of an approaching hurricane until its precise point of landfall has been determined.

This is the old "because a solution is not 100% effective, it's not good" chestnut. This solution would cut down on the theft by over 90%, I'd venture, probably more like 98%. There is huge difference between perpetrating a crime from the safety of a computer and physically walking into a bank to commit it.
