Question. Is it standard when a client does that to then demand or ask to review time records? The purpose would be to be able to then use that to bid out the work to other firms.

How would the law firm handle the request? Does this happen?

If so I would think it would be an advantage to structure billing and time tracking in a way that wouldn't allow it to be used so that a lower bid could be place since a competitor would know the time requirements.
Same here, I use python at work for ML related stuff on daily basis for the reason pretty much everyone else chooses python over ruby ('that's what everyone else in my company uses and it just has more mature ML libraries and greater support'), but countless times have I caught myself thinking while writing python code: 'this could have been much cleaner and shorter code had I used ruby and its blocks'. It's a shame.

Also, quick search shows that SSNs of Trump, Kardashian and Gates has been published before. Which means this sample contains only the information that is in the public sources already, or is meaningless (like IDs). Thus, at least the JSON dump thing proves exactly nothing. Of course, if they published a previously unpublished SSN, we'd have hard time verifying it too, so not sure what could be a good proof here...

I'm curious what you think of it.
You're using terms like "sane" and "hacks" that have negative connotations without acknowledging the benefit those design decisions provided over the history of the language.

Language design involves trade-offs. For example, tail call elimination would obfuscate tracebacks and make the interpreter more complex.

Need is different than want. You might want tail call elimination, but you don't need it to write elegant functional style code.
I think good PWA support and Android minus Play Services support could actually cover a lot of the bases. Both of those technology stacks are FOSS; PWA's already cover services like Twitter and Airbnb, and are likely to become commonplace now that Safari intends to implement Service Workers; F-Droid has a huge back-catalogue for open source Android Apps, and a lot of important closed source Android apps don't rely on Google's proprietary API's, for instance Whatsapp, or Moovit, or indeed the random parking app used by my local town.

But it seems to me the various open smartphone projects are not keen to support apps beyond the native Linux toolkits. I really think that attempting to replicate the basic functionality of the Android or iOS ecosystems entirely in Qt or GTK is forlorn. The platform will start with very few users (the Purism smartphone would have 2500 users if it meets its funding target), so companies are not going to build to it. It would rely on community efforts, but that's a huge amount of effort, and even then assumes that the API's are available.

Having said that, I'm thinking of backing LibreM, as you say the hardware is very important, and to be applauded. I mostly just want good smartphone hardware which runs on the mainline kernel. Software support (for vanilla Android, Lineage OS, Sailfish or Plasma Mobile) should then follow from that by default.

I work in the field, have money invested in the field and have spoken with both the organizations in question (as well as their compliance counsels) as well as their regulators.

In law, new business models often are in violation, compliance wise, until they make the case that they shouldn't be. If the model is successful & profitable, they fight to change the rules and sometimes end up with a complete or partial victory in that campaign - this is largely a political fight at the bar. If not, they vanish and the lack of regulatory oversight is irrelevant.

Can't give you more than that without going out of bounds.

Reviewing Atrium's legal careers section, they clearly understand the need to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to compliance - see their lead counsel post. That said, I'd counsel justin not to reply to my question if I was advising him.

Well it's true, the price of BTC rising steadily is not something which refutes that argument, particularly as BTC doesn't seemed to be used much as a currency.
> I don't know that something like that is ever forgivable to me.

You aren't in position to give forgiveness. That belongs to the person she harmed and those that loved him. The conversation at hand is whether or not we continue punishing her because of what she did. That's no our job nor is it Harvards. They have every right to not accept her as a student should they believe it would put other people at risk. But that's not what happened here, what happened here is Harvard didn't want bad press.

That's pathetic and something I would expect literally anywhere outside of a prominent educational system that has an endowment the size of Harvard. This is exactly the type of thing it's supposed to be immune to.
I've complained about some BBC headlines before. I was essentially told that there's a kind of headline exemption. So long as the article at some point contradicts the headline then it doesn't matter, apparently.
True, but most Americans don't pay enough in taxes to cover even 1 single significant medical issue per year. A few doctors visits maybe, but any kind of major injury or illness and you will likely blow your taxes out of the water.

> shocked that a Harvard prof would admit to overturning someone's admission due in part to them being a racial minority

Harvard has come under a lot of criticism for having a lower standard for blacks and a higher standard for asians. He seems to imply that he felt or that others would feel (I can't exactly tell) that Harvard would not have accepted someone in the same situation who wasn't black. This is different than saying he didn't think she should be accepted because of her skin color.

I'm not arguing for or against their decision--just that within the context of current lawsuits against Harvard, his statement has a bit different meaning.

It depends: if their goal is to export capitals, when they get foreign currency by selling the BTC they bought in China, they will keep that currency abroad and invest it there. Of course you can do the same with mining - instead of buying BTC at exchanges - but this will require first investing in China to buy China built mining equipment and operate your mine. That's the difference I see.
> Something has to be done as status quo is not working [for everyone].

FTFY.

It's working for me in a way that only one other healthcare system would be able to help me (and even that healthcare system can only help me because the US healthcare system developed the medical advances I benefit from). If I moved abroad, I would have to keep a US health insurance plan and return to the US regularly to get the treatment I need here that isn't available in the rest of the World.

I'm still waiting for proponents of single-payer healthcare to take the effort to find out what works about the current system and who it works for. If they don't figure that out, they won't propose a solution that maintains the benefits of the current system.

The single-payer system being proposed will almost certainly reduce efforts to improve medicine that would improve my health issues in the future.
> Do you honestly believe that Linus would accept core kernel changes for the sole purpose of supporting Windows on Linux? It would NEVER. HAPPEN.

Kinda off-topic, but, isn't Linus basically a Microsoft here? Does it matter if Linux's forkable and open-source, if nobody ever forks it to do what the community wants instead of what Linus wants? (e.g. stable kernel ABI, Windows support, etc)

> I've got a laptop and desktop that have been running Windows 10 since launch and they work just as well as my Mac does. I've never re-installed any of them, and never had them "go nuts". That story reads like someone who last used Windows98 and thinks it still applies.

I agree so much with this... last time I installed Windows, it was Windows 7 in 2013, haven't touched it since then, and it works perfectly. Of course it requires a bit of maintenance, but what doesn't after so many years.

> The farmers will still choose it because they are having trouble finding labour in the first place.

If a farmer has trouble finding labor, they don't pay enough. The question is whether or not automation is cheaper than the actual rate that you have to pay in order to get somebody to do the manual labor. Not the rate you would like to pay.

Maybe it's just semantics, but I don't think "trouble finding labor" is a thing.

Anyways, thank you for your comments in this thread. Very insightful.

My experience is the opposite. Cash payer gets list price, insurance gets a much lower negotiated price. I always thought an 'insurance plan' with zero actual coverage but the negotiated prices could be ideal for self employed (with separate catastrophic policy)

Agreed, modularity definitely helps us minimize the mental load of understanding all the objects at once. But how does it handle this situation:

Write function in module A that expects some complex data structure that comes in. In a static typed language, you put a type on the argument and thus guarantee, to some degree, the data in the object can be safely manipulated.

Over in module B we call that function. Because Python doesn't enforce types, I can pass in some type of data structure that might behave well in many situations, but in some that function is going to fail because I didn't properly construct the data structure.

How do other Python projects avoid this? Do they avoid large data structures of multiple fields?
> It's not so much that people only use a handful of apps, but they want to know that they'll be able to use the next big apps that come out. They want to know that, when the next big social app or game comes out, they'll be able to use it.

This is not the market that Purism is after, which makes this slightly bothersome to read, since Purism will likely focus on that and not see that their plan is still catastrophically flawed.

We can just rely on the community to do the rest is nuts. It's the kind of naive optimism that 10 years ago maybe would have seemed like it could and should work, but not today. It's like the "???" step that comes just before "Profit!"
I can't speak for the other points you raise, but I note that it says "Credit Score" rather than "FICO score" - all of the credit reporting agencies (and some third parties) have their own "Credit Score" product that they sell or otherwise provide - it's almost a scam in itself, in that they strongly suggest they are selling you a FICO score but instead give you their own internally-generated, presumably royalty-free number.

Since there's no cost associated with this, they may well generate one for everyone and store it with their data.
They use our well developed infrastructure for their own benefit

Can you explain your reasoning more?

So, for example an internet user in the EU is paying some local ISP to request services from google.com. The ISP presumably pays taxes on the revenues or profits from using local fiber & infrastructure in order to connect the user with google.com.

In this case, they are no different than any other website/domain/internet service aside from scale and all of the taxes to fund infrastructure would come from the ISP and some portion of government financing.

What I am missing is how Google is "us[ing] our well developed infrastructure for their own benefit" in a different manner than say skysports.com?

I guess since your response consists of just characterizations of me, ignoring my argument, and characterizing bitcoin as some form of "tulip mania" ignoring the history of both, and what bitcoin is, that no substantive response is necessary or would be useful.

You do not seem to realize that BTC was "crashed" from $1,200 to around $800 back in January of this year. Was that also proof of whatever it is you're trying to claim?

You think that when the price goes up it is proof that bitcoin is a bubble and a mania... and that when price goes down it proves it's a bubble and a mania.

Also, the massive down voting that my post has gotten- despite it being a substantive contribution to the discussion-- with the uprooting your post has gotten, despite it being nothing but characterizations-- is actually very bullish for bitcoin. So long as even the "hackers" here don't get it, then that's proof it hasn't crossed the chasm and isn't in a bubble. (And your opposition is really all about the fact that bitcoin disproves several sacred economic theories.)
The issue is that the 20 apps people use are different. People want to have a banking app on their phone that they can use to deposit their checks. Basically, a bank of any size will have an iPhone and and Android version of their app. They don't have the resources to do a third platform.

There are various toys that use an app on the phone for control. They are also iPhone and Android.

I tried Windows Phone. I really liked the platform. But the lack of apps for such things like my bank, etc made me leave the platform. If Microsoft with all its resources and developer outreach was unable to get a critical number of apps for its platform, I don't see much hope in another mobile platform succeeding.

You do realize others may think that several decades is long enough for a full and thorough reformation to potentially occur? Especially in case like this, when the crime was committed at a young age in a fairly severe context.

Obviously, we must perform a careful evaluation to ensure that this is the case. But to deny any possibility of reformation seems wrong, and not reflective of the reality in which people sometimes change significantly over time.
In 2004, I had gallbladder removed. Total bill for surgery and overnight stay was around $11k. The insurance I had at the time covered things, and I got a bill for around ~$40. That was it. I had employer-provided insurance, but I'd been there less than a month(!).

With different insurance, different state, a few years later, my wife had to go to ER with pneumonia. 5 hours in total to draw some blood, xray, and a drip. Bill later - with blue cross insurance - was ~$3000.

Health "care" here is insanely priced and managed.

And the ironic thing is, the fear and anxiety caused by healthcare costs (along with the many other things that everyone middleclass and down is anxious over) makes us less healthy.

This is one reason that I am glad to have my own policy (although if the ACA gets repealed, there is no guarantee that I won't get kicked off of it eventually) since my company is too small to have a group plan. I have private health insurance (with a stipend from my employer) and private disability insurance as well. I pay significantly more than I would for a group plan, but I also have some peace of mind knowing that losing my job doesn't directly put that in jeopardy (assuming I can still make my payments that is).

I don't agree that Russia should have done what it did to Ukraine, and its territories. No, sir.

But I find the argument that "USA is not bad, because Russia did bad" to be highly specious.

Russia, and the Russians in the region that was invaded, can justify its mis-deeds as protection of its sovereignty.

America, and thus Americans, cannot.

There were no Americans to protect in Iraq. In Afghanistan. In Syria, Yemen, Libya.

Seriously, Americans are liable for some deep, deep shit. Russians, less so.
