It just seems that the author hasn't fully understood the application of multiple cursors.

- Create multiple cursors using mouse clicks. Now the locations you click need not be (1) in a vertical alignment -- if vertically aligned, rectangle edits make sense (2) on identical symbols -- if identical, search/replace makes sense.
- Also you don't need to precisely on start or end of symbols. After clicking, I can do `M-b` or `M-f` (or whatever) to bring all cursors at identical syntactic locations.
- Even when not using mouse clicks, using multiple cursor is a much lesser cognitive load. If I want to refactor the symbol where the cursor is, I simply select the whole symbol (expand-region package), hit a binding to create multiple cursors at all identical symbol locations in the buffer (not in just the visible region). The OP now counted that as a disadvantage which was odd. I count myself proficient in using multiple cursors and I am confident that each time I do the above, the cursors would be created exactly where they should be (even when those are created outside the visible region). Then I simply type in the new symbol name to replace the selections. If I use search/replace, I need to type in the symbol name and possible regexp to denote the symbol begins and ends. With multiple cursors, no matter what symbol I am on, the action is the same (1) select current symbol (2) create cursors everywhere on such symbols .. no need to type in a specific regexp each time!
- Talking about the extra processing the CPU needs to do because of multiple cursors, I have created around 100 cursors in extreme cases and even then it was fine. In regular use, I need to create under a dozen multiple cursors.
- Finally the real-time visual feedback completely beats whatever little CPU gains we get by not using the multiple cursors and the extra time wasted in thinking what regexp to type, what macro to define, how big a rectangle selection to make etc.
- Also so much more is possible[1]: interactively adding/removing cursors, aligning, inserting numbers, etc. which would be much less efficient the conventional way.

Dynamic linking is hugely helpful when, for example, you want to update to the latest openssl without updating half the binaries on your system. That packages are statically including openssl in wheels, and then wheel versions being explicitly pinned in projects, is introducing some juicy attack vectors.

Restricting access to the password hashes using database security so that a vulnerability in the web application cannot expose password hashes unless a separate vulnerability in the database was also exploited. In PostgreSQL (and other SQL databases), this generally involves having multiple database users with separate permissions, making it so that the database user the web application uses doesn't not have SELECT permissions for the password hash column.

Why it's a privacy nightmare: you delegate authentication to an oauth service. You trust it to check the authenticity of the login/password.

The code is open source, but it doesn't mean login.gov runs exactly this code.

Now imagine the NSA forks the code, adds a master password "IworkForTheNSA,LetMeIn!" and runs the fork instead on login.gov. Now the government can impersonate you in seconds.

Use Auth0 if you don't want to handle auth yourself. It's probably more difficult to coerce a private company into hacking its users, than it is for the NSA/FBI/IRS/Whatever to hack it's own system.

Don't be foolish. Don't use that for private businesses.
Disney World and Universal Studio Set to Shut Down
I'm a fan of "there is no rational explanation." The other answers seem plausible, but my theory is that if a coin has any kind of value proposition and doesn't completely fail, eventually some speculators will notice that it's a solid investment. The calculus goes like this: When it's a bull market, if you buy $X million of a coin that hasn't had much volume, everyone else will simultaneously see that this coin is suddenly popular. That will trigger them to buy, since it's going up.

Why doesn't it go back down? Well, once you've invested, there isn't much reason to sell. Your investment went up by some N multiplier, and as long as most people feel the same way, your multiplier is safe.

This explanation sounds too simplistic to be true, but whenever you look at the chart, the data seems to suggest it's plausible:

http://i.imgur.com/OU6me1N.png

Notice the volume was completely flatlined up until a huge purchase in March 2017. That massive purchase kickstarted that 50x factor.

These dynamics are independent of any particular coin. So yes, it's true that CoinDuJour might offer some benefits and unique features. But that value proposition is secondary to the overall investment dynamics at play here. It almost doesn't matter what the coin does. As long as it does something different and it's stable, it becomes an attractive target for speculation.

I am also not a lawyer, but if the government really just wanted their conviction of this one guy, the obvious path seems to be to abandon the court order to decrypt the drive, and just move forward with trial based on the forensic evidence from the system root. Slapping him with contempt on this, and continuing to sweat him out in jail while he files higher and higher appeals, is the government's decision.

Getting the Supremes' opinion on this is kind of a superposition of states: if they decide in favor of right-to-encrypt, that's great, as suddenly the government will (presumably) stop using these kinds of court orders; but if they find against, then it's worse than the current uncertain situation, as orders to decrypt will then become an accepted tool. If the Supremes would find in favor of compelled decryption, then I'd prefer it never go to them, and remain in the current legal limbo.

Considering that password hashes are stored in the users table, it seems unlikely. While you can use PostgreSQL to implement per-column permissions, it's a fairly large pain, and you have to make sure every query you are using that selects from the table does not select that column.

> Land value does not stay constant as density is increased. It goes up.

True. But when you measure the price elasticity of land you find that density doesn't increase land value as fast as it creates space.

This occurs independently of the value of the new units. Consider a town with three occupied units: one for $5,000, one for $4,000 and one for $3,000. A new unit is built for $6,000. A simple example would involve everyone trading up, thereby leaving an unoccupied $3,000 unit on the market, but let's be more realistic. The person in the $5,000 unit doesn't budge, so the $6,000 unit gets discounted to $5,500. Our top-tier renter moves, leaving their $5,000 unit open. This must now compete for the other two renters, and so on, and so forth.

New renters will enter the market, but there is scant evidence that people move to cities to move into specific units. Instead, people choose and city and then find a place. New units more-efficiently use limitedly-available land. The other benefits from density, e.g. environmental efficiency, faster exchange of ideas and the resulting productivity boost, et cetera, are just cherries on top.
> But I suppose if your call center employees simply must be living in downtown S.F. the answer must be that we just need lax zoning and higher density!

The call center employees living en masse in SF is a very far fetched claim that requires strong evidence here, along with the implication that they are what necessitates higher density.

This framing is insensitive to both call center workers who likely could never afford to live in SF and those who are paying the price of anti development NIMBYism in the Bay Area housing market.

PCMPISTRI, what an instruction.

It's supposed to be a comparison, but it doesn't set the flags with comparison results. Instead it uses them to signal if it's found an unequal byte, or hit the end of the strings. The latter is equality, which is one condition we want, but it doesn't say where in the 16 bytes it found the terminator. In fact it sets the register (ecx) which otherwise would be the offset to compare bytes, to 16.

That's all fine if you just want to return string comparison, but if you're trying to find their longest common prefix it's a whole new comparison to find the 0x00's.

Perhaps glasses are more likely on homosexuals for whatever reason, and so the images it classifies as "most likely to be gay" are much more likely to have glasses.

Another interesting thing is that both the straight faces appear to be older and heavier set than the gay faces. I can't even imagine a possible explanation for that. I'd like to see the true composite of faces, rather than this one reweighted by their algorithm.
Regarding (2), I don't disagree totally, but from what I saw, the person in question was originally charged $5,000 (the fee was eventually reduced) just for the hearing/plea deal. If she wanted to go to trial, he told her $20,000+.

Breaking down the math, the lawyer did a total of 5 hours of work just for the plea. If he had to go to trial, the hours of work would have exploded to 50-100.

So:

Plea: $5,000 / 5 = $1,000/hour

Trial $20,000 / 50 = $400/hour

The criminal defense lawyers know that most cases will get plea-ed, so they frontload their costs. I can't speak for every CD lawyer out there, and I imagine many would like to see CJ reform, but not too many of them are complaining about the current system (that I know of).
