I am also for second chances, but to offer a contrarian view, armed robbery is still a defining characteristic of his life.

We are just animals. If we are honest about it: For as easily as we can say different dogs have different temperaments--some make good playmates for children, some good for attacking people--certain people also are better suited to different roles as citizens of a civilization.

Years ago I used to actively play a popular Valve online game, pseudo-competitively. In this community developed toxic culture of harassment and demeaning comments towards one female player. I remember she would be interrupted with things such as "shut up whore." But there were those who would try to stop it, even though they would be negatively impacted by it, and harassed themselves.

Unfortunately in the years since then, I've read about this happening elsewhere. But fortunately I have seen a lot about the importance of respect and fairness towards women (and all people) in tech and online gaming.

But do we need to wait for every wrong to have a rights movement against it, to know that it's wrong?

I disagree. I think even those perpetuating this towards her were fully aware that it was wrong; they just didn't care. There are good and bad people, and it's an evolutionary advantage to us that we have evolved to care about this.

Armed robbery is not the worst thing anyone had ever done, and he deserves a second chance. I'm skeptical of why he is a Georgetown law professor.

If I take off my moral lense of the world, I have to ask myself in an age when a 75-year-old man spends 12 years in jail for 2 marijuana plants, Snowden is a criminal, and pedophiles and sexual predators either get a slap on the wrist or protected as long as they're rich, who exactly the cultural trends minimizing dastardly behavior benefits...

UPenn has that. I took CIS 399 ("Special Topics in Computer Science") once as "Unix/Linux Skills" and once as a Python course. From googling I see that it's also been offered as "The Art of Recursion", "Open Source Software Development", and other titles. It is a half-credit course, i.e. half of a normal course.
Did you consider the fact that his felony, or other factors caused by his incarceration, may have made him ineligible for admission into the upper-tier law schools? I'm having a bit of a hard time seeing why you feel other candidates should have been selected before Shon.. maybe he was really the best of the candidates with regards to some quality they were looking at.
If you want to see the entire workflow as implemented by the New York Times there is a great documentary about it.

The documentary covers the last day that the NYT used a metal/linotype press and talks through the entire process that happened from newsroom to printing. It is a truly interesting way to spend 28 minutes.

For model rockets at least, if the center of pressure is lower than the center of gravity, lift from the fins will straighten up the rocket. it can be confusing because the lift is pushing sideways (aligned with the fin) rather than up. Probably doesn't matter at all for a Saturn 5.

Hey, one of the developers here. I just changed the wording around the phone number piece to clarify it. You do NOT need to provide your phone number to use Intent. It's just optional if you want to also track mobile usage...we text you a setup link, then throw the number away.
If that is the case, then it equally applies to university students.

Embraer (Brazil) does final assembly of their private jet line in Melbourne Florida. I toured the factory. How it works is the fuselage is boated from Brazil and then assembled in FL.

PARICIAL SHIELS
I am from Usa i was diagnosed with it while I was pregnant . I cried for days. I was devasted and looking up info on it just made it worse. I don't know how long I have had it for. I don't know if my partner has it or if he was the one who transferred it to me. I had one outbreak while pregnant. That's how I found out I had the virus. I started taking and antiviral and took it everyday twice a day to make sure I wasn't able to get an outbreak. I debated whether I wanted to have my daughter natural or c- section. I was terrified. Stress wasn't helping my situation. I ended up having her natural and she is a beautiful healthy 2 month old baby girl. I try not to think about me having the virus because of my depression i couldn't. so I have to focus more on how to get rid of HSV TPYE 2 because i don't want anything to happen to my daughter and thank God she was born fine. i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like acyclovir, Zovirax, and (valacyclovir)Valtrex without without get rid of my virus. one day i decide to surf the internet for cure so i saw a testmony total cure of HERPES by Dr. EHIAGWINA with NATURAL HERBS so i pick up the email Address: ehiagwinaherbalhome@gmail.com and contact he an hour latar he reply explain to me how am going to get the herbs and how am going to use it to cure my viruse i give a try believe me it work perfectly i used it within seven days now am tested negative i'm free from the viruse thanks Doc. for so many passing through this contact Dr. EHIAGWINA to help you get rid of the virus. here is his email address: ehiagwinaherbalhome@gmail.com or contact he through his phone number call or text message +2348162084504. He can as well cure so many diseases like...........
1. ALS
2. HPV
3. SHINGLES
4. CANCER
5. BREAST AND PENIS ENLARGEMENT and others diseases i can't remember now.
Thanks Doc am so happy today.
That's an interesting way of thinking about it. I'm not very assertive, so perhaps If I stood up to management a bit more everyone would be better for it anyway. Although it's easier to stand up to your boss when it falls under your domain (technology), but when it's their domain (managing people) it's harder to be assertive.

Also what happens when it just becomes a self fulfilling prophecy? Regardless, if you experience terrible management you should probably be finding another job anyway.
Amazing new search engine
In the case with audio, it might be the opposite - even with a modern audio codec like Opus, an Apple CPU can decode an entire song into RAM in a fraction of a second. At that point, the CPU has to wake up anyway to download another song from Spotify or read one from disk.

I use Green Arrow engine + studio, by the folks at drh.net, and it can do that very well. You can basically get a hook that will execute your arbitrary code for each contact - database lookup on a remote service, whatever. So you can build very complex newsletters that are totally customized to each recipient. And it is fast as can be (can pretty easily push 1M+ messages per hour if you have that much volume to send)

In order to take full advantage of it you need to be a developer though.

It's got great pricing too, esp. if you get their perpetual license and then run it on your own dedicated server (they set it up.)
A VM with a separate OS, talking to the world through a VPN would probably hide you from Facebook, Google, etc, in the sense that it would be hard for them to correlate the two identities.

It of course won't work well against police, who can look up the VPN provider, ask who's paying for it, and it's mostly enough to find you.

> Sort of, the contents of the post are in a database somewhere. It's not like someone uploaded a .html page to Blogspot and they converted it into JS. The JS makes it easier for users to customize templates.

That's not always the case, either, however. There are a great many (majority?) of database-driven websites out there with framework-rendered templates; Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, etc. They are not constructed using -- nor are they dependent upon -- JavaScript.

Note that if you are employed in one of those companies, you should think twice how you'd want to invest in them, because you're actually putting a bunch of your eggs in one basket.

I keep remembering those poor Enron employees whose retirement funds were mainly in stock of Enron itself, so that they were both unemployed and financially ruined when the scam fell apart.
If Mailwizz had A/B split testing I'd consider giving it a further look.

Somewhat orthogonal:

In SF, the jail will only accept bail from registered bail bondsmen. They will not accept bail money from the arrestee, friends of the arrestee, or family. The average rate for a bail bondsman is 10%. A common practice that a vindictive police force will use is tacking on charges that they know will not stick in order to push the bail higher (eg Felony Conspiracy to Commit a Crime can be tacked on to any crime involving more than one person regardless of its nature and will set bail at $18k minimum). My neighbor is a criminal defense attorney and I asked her about this; she said that it is common knowledge that the SF DA, police, and bondsmen are all scratching each others' backs.

An initial court date can take a few days to a week of waiting in jail, which means missing work. An innocent person -- or a person guilty of a victim-less crime -- of little means will likely lose their job as the result of one arrest if they cannot afford bail.

The other practice that is commonplace in SF and California is confiscating a phone as evidence even if there is no reason to believe the phone will have evidence. Even if a person is wrongfully arrested and the charges are dismissed, property return is only done if the District Attorney elects to cooperate. If the DA does not voluntarily request the police return your property, then you need to file a motion to obtain a hearing. The going rate is $500+ to have an attorney do this. Most people simply do not get their phones back because the time and monetary cost are too high. If you are living in an expensive city on a tight budget, this is a significant loss.

Really? I prefer not to gamble, but given a choice between (a) & (b), I would choose (b) every time.

a. Odds against you, govt regulated.

b. Uncertain odds (dependent on choices made, changing over time, etc.), unregulated.

Under (a), you're guaranteed to lose eventually. Under (b), you could potentially become good at reading sentiment around the newest types of coins. It's certainly still gambling, though.
You cannot. sslstrip exists to attempt to work around the fact you can't directly downgrade HTTPS to HTTP.

In that video, because HSTS isn't used on match.com (unfortunate), the browser doesn't attempt to make an HTTPS connection at first. Obviously, if you have control of that TCP connection, you can do whatever you want. The browser is oblivious to HTTPS existing.

Also, be careful not to confuse the layers here. The encryption algorithms in WPA2 are completely unrelated to TLS/HTTPS. TLS is... somewhere in the OSI model, but it's well above WPA2/packet handling, and TLS can/does work with a compromised network.

Why does anyone write web apps in Python? PHP? Ruby?

Modern Java and Go are so much faster than the alternatives that it's stupid to consider anything else if performance is important.

Golang and Java can manage over a half million HTTP responses a second. Node is pretty fast but why bother when Java is many times more mature in features, tooling, and and supports concurrency... And uses less ram and is usually faster. People moan about the "huge" Java runtime when JavaScript uses 3-5x more memory and has a huge runtime of its own.

All the big companies are using Java and Go almost exclusively for high volume endpoints and it blows my mind the amount of mental gymnastics some companies go through to avoid following suit.

Java has come a long way since J2EE. These days it's asynchronous, non-blocking, serverless, etc.. pretty much all the acronyms thrown around about node except its not JavaScript, which IMO is a huge win.

For me, the speed of rendering is fantastic.

But, the TexRoman font, the lack of lockstep scrolling, and the non-compartmental MathJax rendering causing the entire document to flick-around when making any edits makes this non-feasible for documents > 1 page.

> Machines, on the other hand, hate ambiguity and context.

When I ask my car to call my wife using only her first name, it suggests a list of 3 people who I'm not even sure how they got in my contacts list. Siri, on the other hand, gets it right every time with the exact same request. I wouldn't say my car hates ambiguity, the programmers failed to bridge the gap to human/machine interaction and meet the person halfway. ("If you want to talk to a computer, you have to think like one.")

I'd say it's programmers or deadlines that mean that the extra work of accounting for ambiguous data gets skipped. It doesn't take a neural net to look at the recently called list for the most frequent or even most recently dialed [wife's first name].

One irony of your "Bob" example is that sometimes using someone's last name actually adds ambiguity: "It's Bob Lingendorfer's birthday this weekend!" ... "Who is Bob Lingendorfer? ... Ohhh, you mean your husband!".

Maybe it's not irony, it's just that people read a lot into data and might assume that all of it is relevant to the task at hand. My car kind of does the opposite and lazily stops at the first three "close enough" hits on my wife's name.
I see no problem with that date. yy-mm-dd ensures that files are always ordered correctly by date.
That is wishful thinking.

First, the Howey Test is the only test from the Supreme Court.

Second, that is a multipronged test, a product/service which wasn't registered as a security but still passes or fails one prong isn't enough to say it is or isn't a security.

THIRD, there are multiple other tests in various federal circuits.

Fourth, there are tests created by states relevant at the state level.

Fifth, most people are just lucky that securities frameworks haven't been applied haphazardly to everything under the sun.

Mexico has been an avenue for this, for the Chinese. Parts/assemblies shipped to Mexico for final assembly -- perhaps, in some case, as I understand it, in an extreme bending of the... "rules", simply for packaging.

Then, over the border the finished, packaged products go, tariff-free, under the auspices of NAFTA.

Separately, I'll mention that I've heard commentary on Canadian news to the effect that the Provincial and perhaps National governments provided assistance -- not taking an ownership stake; rather, direct financial assistance -- to Bombardier to aid in development of the jet.

To the extent that expected returns, financial and employment and whatever, are now leaving the Province and Canada, this leaves those governments out in the cold and deprived of expected returns. I don't know all the details of this, and perhaps what I heard was biased, but it was described at length and very critical e.g. of the governments not having built greater assurances into the aid they provided.
High quality Java and Go developers are more expensive than Ruby and JS webdevs, partly because there are just so many of the latter.
I must be since I don't see EU countries paying 1.5-2x for gas due to ideological reasons.

Prices has nothing to do with capacity, amount that pipelines provide is vastly higher than what can be brought by tankers. By the time EU build ports and tankers, other energy sources will be mainstream and this will not be relevant.

Again, in my view, pure propaganda move.

I have no love lost for Hillary... but let's be real.

>When this sale was used by Trump on the campaign trail last year, Hillary Clinton’s spokesman said she was not involved in the committee review and noted the State Department official who handled it said she “never intervened ... on any [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] matter.”

So she stated she recused herself from the vote, and there's yet to be any evidence or accusations to the contrary.

Furthermore it says repeatedly in the article that the FBI didn't inform anyone outside of the Bureau about the investigation until well after the deal had closed.

>“Not providing information on a corruption scheme before the Russian uranium deal was approved by U.S. regulators and engage appropriate congressional committees has served to undermine U.S. national security interests by the very people charged with protecting them,” he said. “The Russian efforts to manipulate our American political enterprise is breathtaking.”

But I mean... stick with the unfounded accusations, it generally makes one look educated to make baseless claims.

The answer is that for a huge variety of software, performance is not important, or perhaps is only important for a subset of the application.

My personal experience is that the dynamic languages you've laid out generally have frameworks that are extremely conducive to rapid prototyping (Django is my favorite). I've seen and done the dance many times -- start with a Django/Rails/Laravel app, get a free admin and build up some CRUD pages in no time flat, and then once you've got enough traffic to care, move parts of the application to more performant platforms (Go/JVM usually) as necessary.
JS lets you share code between front-end and back-end. For example, if you're writing a networked game, you're going to need to transport a lot of state between the server and client.
