Doesn't (or can't) law enforcement also use parallel construction (based on information obtained without a warrant)? I believe the point about what's admissible is not as clear cut as you state in a single sentence.

Just buy a Baofeng UV-5R, find a local repeater, and start yakking on the radio. You should have a local repeater which holds semi-regular "nets" (meetings). You can start checking in on those nets if you don't want to start talking right away socially.
Ah gotcha, I thought you were making two separate comments. Makes sense.

I encourage you to go out and find information about what it was like to be one of HH's "girlfriends". There is a wide gap between appreciating beauty and using women as pleasure objects.
I guess it depends on your definition of “a word”. I speak Danish and it shares a lot of concepts with German.

Joining or concatenating two nouns or a noun and an adjective form “a new word”, but the meaning is of course based upon the two other words.

So if I were to construct a word about the car, I could go like: anden-gears-sving-fejltænding. (Literally, second gear turn misfire). Typically hyphens are omitted, but they are optional.

Is that a new word? Not in Danish, it is just four other written with no spaces in between. Written together they describe a specific situation/concept. But there is no new word.

"PC culture lens"? I wouldn't write off so blithely the clear chauvinism of Playboy. While I'm sure its models exercise more agency than a typical hardcore porn performer, I think it's still fair to say that its whole presentation values women primarily as sexual commodities.
Do you have a license? Step one is getting your license. QRZ offers "practice" exams online which are literally the questions from the FCC license exam pool [0]. You can rote memorize these questions and answers if you need to. Technician and General are both fairly easy licenses to get. The FCC dropped the Morse (CW) requirement, but this can be a really fun way to get into certain ham bands which are CW-only. Very niche crowd. I suppose the sibling advice I gave is to find a local repeater and just start talking. If you're on the West Coast, I highly suggest checking out the WINS repeater system. It's an internet-connected set of repeaters, so when you hit your local WINS repeater, you're actually going out to most of the west coast and Hawaii. And a few other places. It's always growing. Always super friendly. Well, most of the time it's super friendly.

> The biggest step was eliminating the analog-to-digital converter that turns your voice into data. Instead, they took advantage of tiny vibrations that happen in a microphone when a person is talking into it, or a speaker when someone is listening. An antenna converts that motion into radio signals in a way that uses almost no power.

Does it mean the voice is transmitted in plaintext using analog modulation of (reflected) carrier wave? Privacy concerns aside, how can it handle calls from multiple stations over same frequency range?
I saw Larry Flynt in 2003 at a local bookstore when he was doing a book tour. I remember his talk being almost primarily about his various First Amendment stands. He also spoke a lot about an investigation he underwrote regarding a rumor that George W. Bush paid for an abortion. I got a copy of that month's Hustler autographed by him but eventually tossed it away, as its cover was NSFD (not safe for dorms).

Smoking a pipe isn't healthy but a few daily puffs aren't going to shorten your life all that much. Pipes go out, get relit, and generally aren't dragged on like a cigarette. Many people don't even inhale the smoke.

As for the sex? Given his frequent recommendations about practicing safe sex, I suspect it involved protection and, possibly, testing.

Hugh the public figure wasn't quite the same as Hugh the individual. There are some good documentaries about him and his life.

This isn't directed at you, really. Though it may be? You used the number of sex partners almost as a pejorative? At least that is how I read it.

I noticed quite a few people opining that his sex life was wrong and that his magazine was sleazy, or somehow bad. A magazine that empowered women, a magazine that offered choice, a magazine that promoted healthy sexual relationships is being considered bad.

I haven't seen this much angst over Playboy since the mid-60s. It's like they forgot we had a sexual revolution, and we won. That sexual revolution helped lead to greater equality, understanding, and happier people. It helped the gay people come out of the closet. It helped transfolk become even more accepted. It liberated women from sexual repression where they were no longer expected to be barefoot and pregnant.

Seriously, it's like some of these posters are in a mid-60s Southern Baptist Church.
Most of the corn grown around here in Kansas is not the variety that you eat off the cob, it's the kind you feed to livestock. Shipping this corn off to starving people doesn't do much for them unless they want to raise cows and pigs on it.
Could someone help me understand? I‘ve read multiple times in this discussion:

> Many (most?) people have more private information on their phones than they do in their house

But I can‘t think of any in my situation. Regarding data, almost all is available on my PC and tablet as well, both staying at home most of the time and with security features that can be bypassed with enough time/effort. Moreover, photos, handwritten notes, purchase receipts, bills, love letters and so on are all at my home or accessible through my home, but not necessarily stored on my phone. Digital traces about my communications and travel are available through numerous service providers (mail, cell, isp) ... no need to break into my phone, either.

So, what is the private data only available on everyone’s phones but not in their homes? Unsynced, not backuped private notes and photos never shared with anyone else? Am I missing something (honest question)?
I'd gladly take a pay cut to work somewhere I enjoy, at a company that cares about employees. Unfortunately I have student loans taking $2500 a month, and a disabled family member to take care of.

Update: Port of San Juan is open, 3000 containers of relief supplies have been unloaded by Crowley Marine alone, but there's too much debris on the roads to get semitrailers out of the port yet. Diesel fuel is in stock at tank farms but not getting distributed because roads are blocked.

Isn't this more of a restriction on developers? I know as someone who's coded Mac apps since the 80s that Apple has been very much users>>developers.

While it restricts what you can install (i.e., no f.lux a closed binary), it also prevents a lot of potential malware from spreading.
Googlers are generally very idealistic and decent people - yet they still created an enormous surveillance machine instead of doing what's best for their users.

Why is Apple different? I think market forces are definitely a big factor. It's easy to work backwards from the what to the why, and applaud yourself for doing something good that just happens to be in your best interest anyway.

That doesn't make Apple any less of a force for good - but I think that's more of an accident than inevitable (Apple happens not to be invested in advertising, unlike the other big 4).
I miss steve...
I love that Apple is trying to be pro privacy

that said their repair policy has their employees asking for user login credientials and entering username and password into official Apple forms for the repair technician to be able to login to the computer. That seems incompatible with their privacy stance. Even a bank says to never give your PIN to a bank employee yet my login credientials give anyone who has them access to my life. password stored in browsers. private ssh keys. etc...

Thanks for the response. Are things moving into third party or are new projects being created in third party and maintained alongside the originals?

I and probably many others are more likely to be willing to depend on a library if I know Google internals directly depend on the maintenance of said library.

Exactly – my comment is directed at those who think they might be, because O(1) sounds way better than O(log(n)). When really, except for data sets in the 10s of billions of rows, there are more subtle reasons to use them (as you point out).

It's the other way around:

If a fission reactor is insuffciently cooled (due do the cooling system getting destroyed by attack or natural causes, cf the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster), the reaction will continue, the core can melt and breach containment.

If a (plasma-based) fusion reactor gets damaged, the plasma will dissipate and the reaction will stop.

I keep having this argument about the dictionary. Just because enough people use a term incorrectly doesn't make the term adopt new meaning. Language does shift and that should be respected, but if you take it too far (which many do) nothing means anything any more.

To the point, the people calling truth they don't like "fake news" aren't adding a definition to the term. They're just lying. Fake news is news which is objectively faked. Definitions of "news" shouldn't be controversial, and neither should definitions of "fake".

Fake news are objects which try to pass themselves as news but substantially misrepresent the truth through malice or gross ignorance. Or more softly, Fake News is anything like an Onion article except not (almost) everyone is in on the joke. (and maybe the joke isn't so much a joke as a lie)
The shooter didn't need to be charged. He went on a killing spree, usually targeting interracial people and/or just black people. He was a serial killer and was caught, convicted, and jailed. (I forget if he got the death penalty.)

The killer did kill the guy that was with Larry at the time. My memory is fuzzy and Google is so very far away, but I think it was his lawyer and that it happened outside of a courthouse. I seem to recall that he was going to court on a free speech matter and that the killer hadn't specifically started off with the intent of killing Larry, he just happened to be there around the right time so added Larry to his list of folks he felt needed killing for promoting interracial relationships.

Obviously the shooter was both insane and a racist. I seem to recall Larry making statements about leniency towards the shooter. There's a movie about it and several documentaries. The movie features much nudity, but the documentaries are much more tame.
I still get a feeling that it’s a marketing ploy. Why would China allow Apple to operate as they wish without Apple sleeping with China.

I very much feel Apple bends a couple of rules here and there for the ability to operate in non-US markets.
I think the point is that it’s a surprising amount of work to make all these choices right, so it’s sort of easier to pick a platform that aligns with your view on privacy by default.

> There is a wide gap between appreciating beauty and using women as pleasure objects.

Wasn't the women's rights movement about recognizing their agency? And if they wanted to be treated in such a manner, they could be if they wanted to? Consenting adults...consented to their situation in this case. What is wrong with that?

Before you reply that I should read "what is was like", I have. Having worked for a brief period in the adult film industry performing technical work in my early 20s, I have a passing interest in the adult entertainment subculture.

EDIT @ colechristensen

I'm not blind or unconcerned with the inequitable power balance in the entertainment (traditional and adult) industries leading to abuse and exploitation, I'm simply unsure what you're expecting from adults with free will. There are no good or bad people, just people who do good or bad things.

> You can respect women and realize the porn industry is lousy with abuse at the same time.

I agree.
It goes beyond perception; I think there's something missing, and I think someone is close to finding it.

Databases are already employing logic and set theory to great effect (whether practitioners realize it or not). The fact that you can write a few dozen lines of SQL in a few minutes, and run it over millions of records, and feel confident in the results is astounding.

But there are other types of programming where it has not been so successful. I'm trying to learn some TLA+, and I'd like to see if it can help model resource management/lifetimes.

I think rust is very promising because it brings a lot of PL ideas into a practical setting. One of the best ideas they had was to make it not depend on a runtime, so you could use it without reinventing the world.
What exactly is the 'ad hominem' here? I also don't really need to know anything about you to think the opinions you are so fondly entitled to are rather shallow generalizations.

Ah, alright. It read, to me, as if you were using it as a pejorative. Reading other comments may have biased me, sorry if I read more into it than you wrote.

It can cause cancer, though I believe the odds are low for males. He also may not have contracted it. After a time, especially after the AIDS epidemic, I suspect there was a lot of testing and scrutiny.

Obviously, I'd not suggest his lifestyle was all that healthy, but I don't think it is a miracle that he survived to live as long as he did. He also, surely, had great medical care and was able to afford a less stressful life.

Statistics are like that. You can do all sorts of silly crap and live to be a great grandfather. You can do all the right things and die of cancer before you hit puberty. I had a grandmother who surpassed 100 and she drank whiskey and smoked rough cut tobacco from a corncob pipe.

I'd not suggest you try that, if longevity is your goal. On the other hand, if longevity is not your goal than smoking, drinking, and having lots of sex seems like a pretty good idea. Bonus points if you beat the odds and live long enough to bury your detractors.
SaferCPlusPlus does not recommend relying directly on mutexes at all. For most straightforward cases, you can use the "access requesters" to safely manage asynchronous access automatically.

Recursive mutexes are analogous to having multiple pointers (or iterators), some of which are "non-const", to an object in the same thread at the same time. Some suggest that this too is a bad idea. For example, the Rust language does not allow a "mutable" (i.e. "non-const") reference to an object to co-exist with any other reference to that object, even in the same thread.

SaferCPlusPlus does not necessarily disagree with this position, but it also does not require adherence to it, like Rust does. So if SaferCPlusPlus is going to allow multiple pointers (or iterators) to a shared object in the same thread, then it's going to need to lock the mutex protecting the object multiple times from the same thread. Giving each pointer/iterator its own separate lock, as opposed to having one lock encompass the all the pointer/iterators, allows the locks to be managed automatically, which ensures against data races, and that resource locks will be released as soon as it is safe to do so.

Again, there's rarely any reason you'd need to interact with the mutex directly. It's primarily there to support "access requester" functionality.

Also, note that this is a recursive shared mutex, not just a recursive mutex, which means that, for example, it provides a kind of "upgrade mutex" functionality. So if a thread has a "read" lock, it can obtain a "write" lock (blocking if necessary), without having to give up its read lock. Then when it's done with the write lock, it can release it without fear of losing its read lock (or blocking).
