What's appalling about this is that it effectively means that anyone can be arrested potentially for life because they forgot a password.

As someone who has forgotten passwords in the past: this is outrageous.
The Evolution of Command Pattern (III)
I'm a little concerned about this.

We're entering a new industrial revolution - a lot of white collar jobs and blue collar jobs are being disrupted or eliminated. For example every factory and driving job will disappear in our lifetimes, many office jobs will be disrupted. New jobs will be found, we'll be more productive, and the world will be better because of it, but history shows us that this sort of disruption and destroyed livelihoods leads to violence, revolutions and unrest. We will see a similar situation to the original industrial revolution.

I do think it is misguided and harmful to attempt to try to find scapegoats for structural changes in society (popular just now are immigrants, muslims, corporations or evil federal governments), which is why I disagree fundamentally with almost every argument advanced for Brexit (from foreigners are taking our jobs to the evil EU is out to crush our democracy). It will not end well when people don't see improvement in their life but suffer more, and wonder who is to blame if not immigrants.
The insurance investigators appear to be commercially licensed.
I really hope that the other direction gives the desired result.

Not always. If a firm wants to avoid that, it's not too hard to do so - it's got to make sure that the transfer was customer initiated, because those aren't necessarily reversible. There are other exceptions too, some of which are probably regional, non-EU-wide. SEPA isn't implemented identically across the EU, incidentally, so not just are the rules locally interpreted, the tech is too; so none of this is quite as simple as it seems it should be.

And then of course there's the fact that reversing charges doesn't change legal liabilities, so this isn't a protection you can rely on if the receiver feels they're in the right and are willing to take (sometimes fairly simple) legal steps.

It's definitely still a nice protection to have, since at least it places some burden of proof on the recipient.
I just recently started using Vue for a small project at work and agree with a lot of what you said.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable with the banning of certain kinds of content.

The root problem here is child abuse. Anybody abusing children, or financially supporting the abuse of children, is doing a seriously bad thing and this is what should be illegal.

I'm highly skeptical that images on a hard drive can cause the abuse of children. That's the same kind of logic people used back in the 1970s to argue that playing D&D and listening to Kiss were going to result in a whole generation of Satan-worshippers.

You could show a non-pedophiliac person the entire contents of that hard drive, and it wouldn't arouse them or make them want to go abuse children. Wouldn't make me go abuse kids. I'd probably cry a lot and go volunteer to help some kids[1]. So I am not convinced that the contents of this guy's hard drive are going to result in more kids being molested somehow.

If anything, I think the opposite may be more likely. Access to porn is correlated to a reduction in rape. I don't know if this extends to pedophiles, but it sure seems entirely possible: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/all-about-sex/201601/ev...

Would I want my kids hanging around somebody with a hard drive full of that stuff? Probably not, but I also wouldn't want them hanging around supporters of certain political parties either, and I don't think they should be rotting in prison indefinitely with no trial.

ioVita | Senior Backend Engineer, Senior JavaScript Engineers, Senior Data Engineer, Junior UI/UX Designer | Boston | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full-time with flexible start dates

ioVita is a digital healthcare startup building the future of healthcare while tackling pressing systemic issues effecting people and society. We built an ecosystem to study real-world patient outcomes. For our first project, we are tackling finding an effective opioid alternative to fight the opioid crisis. This is just where we are starting, but there is a lot more coming in the future.

Our team is forward thinking about building a better future in which we all will collective live. We are also forward thinking when it comes to technology and data. Our team is super nice and fun group, and our founders (with successful past exits) are people first and like flat organizations.

We do have remote teammates, but most of us our work together in our downtown Boston office.

A few things we are using: React, Redux, GraphQL, Postgres, multi-modal database, Go, Node, Ruby, Java (maybe you noticed we are multilingual with the flexibility to use the right tool for the job), Docker, one-line dev station setup, CI/CD pipeline

We are growing rapidly and our next big hires are an additional:

* Senior Backend Engineer

* Senior JavaScript Engineer

* Senior Data Engineer

* Junior UI/UX Designer

* But we will consider great candidates in a number of other positions in the near future (not just the product engineering team but also for our health research team)

If you are smart, nice and foresee our team to be a great fit for yourself, send me an email at:

Moving from unrealized to realized cost faster, sure is worse to a quarter, etc, but eventually it will all be realized. It is on their balance sheets in some way regardless. The bigger picture is that human capital to assess all the claims is quite expensive and having to spend 8x less on that is a benefit to them.
They are already doing it with Amazon wand.

I wonder if the same kind of error-tolerant fingerprinting used in technology like Shazam (recognizing songs from ambient recordings) could be generalized to combat such a doping program.

You might have to do more than change a few pixels here and a unicode character or meta tag there. I even suspect things like color grading and, say, something like batching multiple images or text files together into one file, could be accounted for.

Not to mention, such a doping program would preferably alter files in an imperceptible (aka, less mutated) fashion.

I am a bit of an audiophile with my music and go to great lengths to rip high-quality, lossless, perfectly-encoded tracks for the sake of historical preservation. I imagine some pedophiles feel the same way about their data and the thought of tampering with the data's original state is abhorrent.

Even a colorshift or one or two changed pixels might make it worthless in their eyes, much like a bad rip with barely perceptible clicks or an altered noise floor is worthless to me.
Most compilers sort of work this way, except that they don't have an intermediate format. They take source, turn it into tokens, turn it into a tree of sorts, run several passes over it till the end result is reached (whatever the target is).

My own compilers turn 4 different input languages in the same parser tree (Hand written tokenizers/parsers), do several passes over it until it has a very base set of instructions left, at which point it generates code for whatever backend was picked.

The only big difference is that the process outlined in the article has an actual textual intermediate format, if I understand it correctly. Sounds like a lot of work of extra work with little gain, a simpler approach might be to have "ToString" method working on all nodes on all levels that' outputs info clear enough to understand from within a debugger.
> The suspect appealed the indefinite prison sentence twice, but both appeals failed. His lawyers tried to argue that holding him breaches his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself, but appeal judges did not see it that way. Judges pointed out that the Fifth Amendment only applies to witnesses and that the prosecutors didn't call him as a witness but only made a request for him to unlock his device, hence Fifth Amendment protections did not apply.

> The government also said that Rawls doesn't have to provide them with his password anymore, as they only need him to perform the act of unlocking the hard drive.

Those two statements seem at great odds. If the government actually knows the password now, the only thing having the defendant himself unlock it does is make it some sort of testimonial fact. The prosecution will use the fact that the defendant unlocked the device himself a point to the jury.
Given the universality of C++, everyone effectively ends up writing in their own dialect and there is a sizeable faction that uses it as "C with Classes" and "C with templates". So there is a lot of C++ projects that explicitly steer clear of modern C++ features, especially derived from the mother of all unholy abominations and the manifestation of everything that is wrong with the modern C++, the boost library.

Give or take.
C is a vastly simpler language with good and well-tried semantics.

The simpler language spec may make sense to do OO with suboptimal tools vs C++.
It doesn't override the Constitution, though. He's not compelled to testify against himself. In a pre-computer society, we'd understand the Fifth Amendment as allowing you not to testify to your crimes, but not allowing you to refuse the police the right to search your house with a court-signed warrant, simply because you keep incriminating things in the house.

It might exploit a loophole, though (and I also think there's a lot of room to argue over whether that analogy is actually the right one).

The one thing that's different with computers is that usually the police can just break into your house (or a safe, or something like that) if you refuse to give them the key, and encrypted drives have no other alternate route in. So you wouldn't be kept in prison indefinitely for refusing to comply with a warrant; you'd just get your door knocked down.
Why not just add your property with "vue.set()"?

I feel you could have avoided this "awful" pain by just reading a little documentation.

I mean, how exactly did you think your new property would be picked up? I know frameworks are supposed to abstract over things but you do still need some idea what's happening under the hood.
There's an old adage about hammers, a lack of other available tools and nail. Now replace hammer with taxes...

They're tripping over a $20 to pick up a quarter by taxing consumers. As others have mentioned consumers aren't the problem.
At a Facebook office in Austin I saw a poster, "Move Fast and Make Things." I assumed it to be a transitional state to "Move Fast and Don't Screw Up or You're So Fired"
This.

And what if you genuinely forget the password to one of your encrypted drive. Couldn't it be used to incriminate you on whatever charge?
AFAIK in the USSR attractiveness of a profession was largely determined by two factors. First, is it possible to take bribes. Second, can one get hands on products that are in short supply. Doctors fall into the first category. Shop workers and sailors (two highly desirable professions in the USSR!) fall into the second. Engineers seem to fall into neither.
How long did it take you to get first remote freelance job when you started?
I wonder, how long does it take on average to get (first) remote freelance job for software engineers and what was your method for getting it?

In my case, it took me over 2 weeks through freelance websites. What about others?
The IPPR figures come from a limited dataset, most of the difference is down to Crossrail (£15bn over 10 years), but for instance Network Rail has a £3bn a year infrastructure budget, Highways England another £3bn, plus the other strategic road authorities in other parts of the UK, the local authorities that manage all local roads, most of that spending is not covered.
> The court also noted that the authorities "found [on the Mac Book Pro] one image depicting a pubescent girl in a sexually suggestive position and logs that suggested the user had visited groups with titles common in child exploitation." They also said the man's sister had "reported" that her brother showed her hundreds of pictures and videos of child pornography.

The fact that hey have so much evidence and yet they still prefer to lock him up in jail until he decrypts the drive rather than convict him makes me believe this case is intended to provide jurisprudence in order to force other people to unlock encrypted devices in much more dubious cases.

Not unlike the "locked iPhone" case where terrorists had destroyed all the devices that could be of interest and yet the FBI went against Apple because the case appeared very good to get support in the public eye (it's to catch terrorists!).

What pricing level are you at with DO?

Can't wait to try that out when I get back to my laptop.
I think similar arguments have been made about the top 1 or 10% of earners - that there shouldn't be any effort towards curbing their economic activity because they are net contributors whereas low-earners are not net contributors.

I think arguments like that ignore the interconnectivity of complex national systems (e.g.) a London business whose customers and suppliers are based around the country.
I assume it didn't really work for more or less the same reason it doesn't work for you or me to do it personally--the transaction cost in time and money is more than you can get for the item. Someone who specializes in that sort of thing can be better at it but it's still hard to make money selling a $10 item.

Mostly I just donate things these days to the Salvation Army or whatever. Unfortunately, not everything is really amenable to that. I have some items that I'm sure are worth something to someone but they're not worth my effort to sell on ebay and Craigslist is pretty thin out where I live.

> I mean, how exactly did you think your new property would be picked up?

If mutations of existing properties are picked up, one could naturally expect that addition of new properties would also be.
My analogy would be that

1. There is an unbreakable safe
2. The judge believes he has the key to the unbreakable safe
3. They know there is evidence inside the safe
4. They ask him to unlock the safe
5. He refuses to do so, so they try to force him by jailing him

They do not ask him to testify about the safes contents or even to hand over the key, just to "insert and turn the key". And their argument is that he can not refuse that by pleading the fifth. In a physical world they would be able to seize the key from him by force even if he gets hurt in the process (within some limits).

In the end he will probably be able to argue that he does no longer have the key, and they will not be able to proof he still has. But _at the moment_ this is not whats being argued about.

(Not saying I find anything about that right or just or moral, but I do not find it completely without reason)
In Paris they just dropped the hourly wage. No delivery, no money. Once they're ahead of competition, they screw their "partners".
A few questions I feel are pertinent:

1) Who has access to these technologies? Who manufactures them? How much are they?

2) Are they large devices or small?

3) When do symptoms onset after exposure?

4) Hearing loss is extremely traumatizing and debilitating. Why should we put civilian staff in harm's way?

One way this is beneficial is that it allows them to steer e.g. the evolution of stuff like https://www.ampproject.org/learn/who-uses-amp/amp-ads/

Some ways of implementing fast (mobile) loading have the potential to be quite disruptive to Google's business model; AMP is a way to ensure that doesn't happen. Note that AMP is open-ish now, not when it was initially developed. The general model is thus a fait-accompli.

AMP is harmless enough nobody is likely to get all to worked up about it (despite these comments, neither am I!), but it does fit the mold of classic monopoly abuse rather neatly: using dominance in one sector to influence others in your favor.
> Vue doesn't force components or build tools on you.

Neither does React. Both components and JSX are optional, you can just build a vdom out of function calls.
Traditionally C++ hasn't had a stable ABI. Object code from different compilers and even compiler versions has been incompatible. That made it a no-go for system frameworks.

It's the same in Apple land: macOS uses a lot of C++ internally, but it's all wrapped into plain C APIs using an object system called CoreFoundation (which is IMO better than GObject because it was designed for "toll-free bridging" with Objective-C, so there is a low-friction path to a higher level language).

There have been operating systems that built their APIs in C++. BeOS and Symbian are the most notable ones. Both ran into serious trouble with the ABI being tied to a specific compiler, which in practice made it hard to port newer GCC or Clang.

Anecdotally, the heat this summer depleted my electrolytes, and being one to avoid fructose (Gatorade) and eating out, I found I had to get liquid minerals. Most foods these days use sea salt - no iodine or some other essential salty minerals. Unless I want to break my no fast food, no restaurant general behavior, getting non-sea salt in foods appears "out of consumer fashion".

"Even if you're using very little of what you think of as "math" to interact with your machine learning framework, to dismiss math as not being necessary is ignoring all of the underlying mathematics that went into creating it."

This seems like a straw man to me. The article never claimed that math is not necessary for the development of machine learning frameworks. In fact, it explicitly states the opposite:

"First of all, math is particularly important if you’re doing machine learning research in an academic setting."

"In particular, there are people at companies like Google and Facebook who are pushing the boundaries of machine learning – people working on bleeding edge tools. These people almost certainly employ calculus, linear algebra, and more advanced math routinely in their work."
