While I agree that this seizure of money wasn't right, and shouldn't have happened, one does have to wonder about the guy...

...has he never heard of safe deposit boxes?

It sounds like he works strictly on cash. Usually, to get a safe deposit box, you have to have an account with the bank you are getting one at (and there might be other restrictions as well). If he didn't have a checking account and couldn't meet any other restrictions, then he couldn't get the box.

But once you had the box, you could put the money in it, and not really worry about it. I just don't know why he didn't do this. It certainly couldn't have been lack of funds. He had more than enough to open an account, and pay for one year on a box big enough to hold the rest of the money.

So if he didn't do this - why? One good reason I can think of might be - operating with cash only - not paying income taxes. Sadly, his efforts at getting his cash back will likely cause him more problems with the IRS down the road.

He really didn't think this whole thing through, and it ultimately caught up with him. Of course, the fact that he wasn't wearing his seatbelt, against a law which makes it a crime of some manner in just about every state (save one), and it's also a federal law - all says something about his being ill prepared.
I wonder why not Dlang. It has better C/C++ interop than Rust, C parts coukd be used/wrapped before they're rewritten.
But people buy other things! Why don't they just buy bitcoin instead?
I hope not, I like too much having a laptop that actually suspends correctly.
That's kinda dumb: the techdirt article added quite a bit to the original story

> We didn't suddenly become better at building internal combustion engines because people grew up with cars.

Are you sure? What about people growing up with cars, curious about what goes on under the hood from childhood, with references available on how they work, that they can connect to what they've seen themselves? Maybe this gives an edge over those whose learning started later?

Human technology is a long ladder of improvements one generation makes over the one prior. It's not obvious that stone age toys are the best preparation for contributing to the next step of the ladder.
They always issue them

If you don't keep it, that's your problem, not theirs
If you can get in early and you recognize it for what it is, a Ponzi scheme can be just another rational investment.

Madoff's clients made good returns for a long time. From the perspective of each long term individual investor, the problem was that they did not fold and walk away from the table with their winnings after a few years. The scheme would have survived a few of those, and maybe some investors did.

None of which is to imply that I think Ponzi schemes should be legal. I'm not a libertarian.
You probably shouldn't be putting your Lambda Functions in a VPC unless it needs access to a VPC resource. There was a pretty good presentation on that in the "What's new in Serverless" seminar.

On top of that, I believe you can do a /2 CIDR which gives you over a million IPs to use. Not sure why you think that wouldn't be enough.
I also wanted more visuals or highlighted quotes. I opened the article, scrolled through it, saw there was no high-level answer to the titular question and closed it. I'm curious, but don't have time to read the article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you give it to Goodwill, they will sell it. You aren't forcing it on another child. Different people have different values.

If that idea offends you, I will say again: I also really like the idea of taking them apart, knowing they are unlikely to get put back together in working order. So if the idea of donating them doesn't work for you, go with that.

Or come up with some other solution. My comment in a forum in no way impels you to do as I said.
You don't keep the receipt from your CU with you?

They issue one when you do a withdrawal (I do this myself sometimes).

Being worried about that is ridiculous.
No, I think you are confused.

Bitcoin already exists in the world. People can already buy bitcoin instead of other things, and yet people still buy other things. Why is that?

Nobody says "I'm only getting a appetizer because if I invest the money instead this $20 will be worth more next week."

Investments already exist and yet they don't stop people from spending on other things.
This study is a little questionable.

And also apparently the sample size was around 11 participants. Wouldn't jump to the conclusion the headline of this article seems to draw just yet, without further evidence.
Wait, they compared the $60,500 Tesla with the $43,905 Bolt and 2/3 of the reviewers chose the Bolt.

The only one who chose the Tesla talks about how sub-par it is overall, with "infotainment and autonomous systems are still a work in progress", but "new software features are being beamed in seemingly every night" and then magically the Tesla comes out on top?

That's before we go into "our finishing order in this first-ever comparison test of affordable long-range electric vehicles".

"affordable".

$60,500.
James Brown negotiated his way into jail, I guess. The man who literally stopped riots couldn't negotiate with the IRS his way out of the slammer.
This is typical of enterprise computing, where Java reigns, exactly because it makes easier to do the "layers upon layers upon even more layers of abstractions" that were being done in C, C++ and Smalltalk before Java came into existance.

Also there are lots of similar architectures in the .NET world with WCF, Web Forms, EF, SharePoint, ...

Anyone that thinks JEE is bad, should spend some weeks trying to do the same with CORBA, DCOM or SOM, in either C or C++.

Same thing will happen to Go, JavaScript, Scala, or whatever language gets adopted into the enterprise cathedral.

Then have them issue a check - my CU will issue it no charge over a certain value (I think it's $1k).

There may not be any evidence that this policy is beneficial for the kids, but the accompanying sense of smug self-satisfaction is probably very enjoyable for the parents.
Not only this, but police forces are one of the few categories of workers where their union is praised and respected. This seems strange until you realize that the police is mostly structured to maintain the current status quo and oppress lower income people.
Or to put it another way, find something new and valuable as your Trojan horse?
This is so weird, I'm curious why would a company like Mercedes do something like this? Surely they can afford to buy it, and then they won't have to go around vandalising other people's cars.
Lmao seriously? How could they not afford to just buy one for their own uses? I can't believe the level of unprofessionalism here.
The only reason to hold off on purchases because you think your bitcoin will go up in value is because you think your bitcoin will go up in value.

But that applies just as well even if you don't already own the bitcoin (you could just buy bitcoin instead of the other thing). Why does anyone buy anything that's not bitcoin? Because they want those things more than they want bitcoin. That doesn't stop being true just because you can pay for things in bitcoin.

Identical reasoning applies if you replace "bitcoin" with anything else that you think is going to go up in value over time. And people still buy things. The sky isn't going to fall down!
Holy smoke! Denthor of Asphyxia, now that brings back memories. My two most valuable sources of knowledge back then were PCGPE (PC Game Programmer's Encyclopedia) and Ralph Brown's Interrupt List. Thanks for the stroll down the memory lane!
On the other hand, when CEO salaries were made public, the trend -- contrary to expectations -- was for them to rise rather than be capped.
The article didn't address why Daimler rented the car instead of purchasing it. Were they just being cheap? Was stock of the car unavailable? Did they anticipate counterespionage from Tessa if they purchased a unit above board?
I was appalled when I first started reading this.

But in reality, it feels quite true to HTML. The HTML author is declaring to the browser the purpose of this asset. This one is to be viewed as an image. This other asset is to be viewed as a video.

The encoding format shouldn't dictate the tag, the content and intent should.

We've been okay with animated GIFs being images for long enough now that we've kind of opted into animated images being okay in general.

Yes unlike the mythical, one man, one women and a lifetime of marital bliss pattern pushed by the bible and mainstream media.

If monogamy is so damn natural, why are so many people having such a hard time with it?
Because that rigidity excels when you have a Fortune 500 project, distributed across 4 development sites across the globe, with 100 developers of multiple consulting companies developing several modules.

It is, but the people in those eras bled and died for the protections that we are starting to eschew rather than strengthen. And people do have less time today than they did in the early 20th century. Smartphones have made sure of that. Maybe it's a moral failing to waste a significant amount of time on them, but do you know many people who don't? It seems more like a reliable exploit than an individual failing to me.

"Things used to be worse" cannot be used to excuse "things will not get better."
If the capacitors come from the right time then they may bulge and have failed already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague . Replacing capacitors is generally quite easy and they are cheap.

There are lots more things that can go wrong with old electronics and if the chips have lost their logic or whatever, you may find replacing those a bit more of a challenge or even to diagnose.

That said, I simply put a new battery into a radio made around 1974 (Roberts) and it worked. I'd already read up on things like tin whiskers growing inside the transistors and all sorts of horrors but I didn't need to dust down my soldering iron.

There are a lot of electronics hobby sites around with some very knowledgeable people lurking in them.
Exactly. Historically, corruption has been carefully defined to exclude everything the running elite of a country is doing. Many of the behaviors observed in the US could easily be classified as corruption, but, surprise, there are very handy laws that allow them to continue unchallenged.

1) I Think Firefox is already pledged. Firefox 57 is in current, built with Rust.

2) Nothing wrong with kernel and base. It provides the kernel, clang, X.org, documentation and BSD-games, among the rest of Unix tools.

Advances in civilisation is a consequence of ever denser population. Were it not for the high cost of food, were fertilisers invented? Was it not because there are many mouths to feed, we learnt to farm rather than hunt? Is it not because we live so far apart, we must ride cars or trains rather than walk? If we all lived next to each other, would we have built telephones?

Thus it can be said civilisation is a necessary evil - if it were not necessary, we would not have done it - there is so much more leisure time in a hunter gatherer’s week than in a typical city resident’s. But in most places of the world it is no longer possible to live as a hunter gatherer. There are too many mouths to feed!
Because that's kind of lame and assumes so much about the value of your time and the reader's time, not to mention feelings and values.
OpenBSD developers themselves did that, rewriting a lot of things that already worked. But they wanted to improve them security wise. So your argument doesn't fit with what they did already. Language is tangential here. Their main focus was security. So it's pretty reasonable to ask, why things can't be rewritten in Rust to improve security further.

Note, that the answer doesn't say that it can't benefit security, which would be a principal argument for OpenBSD. It brings side reasons as to why it's not easy to do (like integrated tools, developers' availability and so on).
True, I was blown away by this.

Disclosing your salary no matter how high or low is disadvantageous to increasing it; it sets an anchor
Sole proprietorships can hire people too. Free speech rights in America aren't categorically different between corporations and individuals.
I don't think we have enough info. Can you add detail to "it wasn't disclosed until after the interviewing took place"?
Not everyone is in your position, and feels they have a strong enough bargaining position to do that. Nothing in this law changes things for you, but it can change things for the better for many other people.
Don't worry, once we have an AI in charge of the legal system, it will know the stats of DNA identification. It's much less likely that you'll be liquidated without cause.
I don't mind them, really. Kids like them, my kids like noisy things in general. So if they are not expensive I don't treat them differently then anything else they might like. On some level, I find them cool too, obviously not as much as children.

I honestly dont understand hate some people have against those things. Blinking and sounding toys have same future as old school toys - few chosen become favorite and stuck in bed, the rest forgotten in drawer or box relatively soon. No reason to fear them.

Hmmm, I wonder if some of those "is it still you?" tests could be avoided if certain actions could be deferred and batched up. Then approving or committing them would be one extra auth check.
> The company is trying to get out of a contract, not by finding a legal flaw, but by trying to not let the other side know that the contract's terms have actually triggered.

From the excuses the company is giving (presuming truthfulness from a company that seems to be anything but), there was never a contract between either party with the recruiter. There may have been a more formalized verbal agreement, but if the terms of the recruitment fee weren't disclosed until after the interviewing process, it sounds like there wasn't much more than a "Yea, I'd be interested in talking to your candidate" from the cold call. In that case, I can feel sympathetic to the company not wanting to pay a rip-off rate that wasn't ever agreed to, even if they had intention to pay a market rate until the recruiter tried to rip them off.

That said, it sounds like an issue between the company and the recruiter. To the OP: the recruiter found your information before, it'll be just as easy for them to see when you switch jobs. At which point the recruiter is going to take issue with your company, regardless of if you told the recruiter anything. So I'd accept the offer, not tell the recruiter, and let those parties deal with the fallout between themselves. If you talk to the recruiter again, just tell them that you have a job now and if he asks where, tell him that you're not allowed to disclose that information. He'll figure it out quickly, but you'll have kept your agreement with the company.
This case hasn't been decided yet. This is essentially nothing more than a provision.

Wouldn't be surprised if Apple eventually wins this.
And then those companies go on to whine and moan that they can't find qualified candidates.

>Except apparently not, because the linked article is literally saying it's not supported.

I see your point, but you are mistaken (or you took the wrong impression from the article) - it is supported, you just wouldn't want to do it day-to-day, and for the context of the article it might as well not exist. In Kafka, if you want to forcibly delete the data, you could simply just force topic compaction after a delete. Depending on the size of your data, a regular delete could take hours, which would likely blow the resource usage on any decently sized deployment.

I bring this up because a lot of shiny "BigData" databases use Log Structured Merge Trees, which are immutable and deletes are mostly "soft-deletes" until a "compaction".
UWP, slow and steady, will eventually get there.

Why would you want your published version to exclude up to a years worth of fixes for known issues?
Not sure why this is being downed. I haven't looked into the details of this case, but the more detailed the wireframe mesh the faces are being fit to, the more possibilities there are, and the lower the likelihood of collisions between two people. Think of it as a hashmap with the number of buckets being determined by the mesh quality. At a certain point, a few collisions won't hinder apps from capitalizing on the information.
Worth noting that Google has essentially deprecated Cloud Datastore in favor of Firebase Cloud Firestore. As far as I can tell, its unclear what the exact relationship between these two products is, but if you have a GCP Project which has never used Cloud Datastore but has the Cloud Firestore Beta enabled, you cannot access Cloud Datstore.
I would be extremely surprised if this was the case. If I found a hoard of gold coins in the basement I would still appreciate their very real monetary value despite not having invested any real time, effort or money into obtaining them.
> Considering the west censors also...<snip>

No you misunderstand my point. My desire is that western governments treat Chinese censorship as NTBs when negotiating trade but they currently do not for fear of being simply frozen out of that market.

I make no comment nor judgement on western NTBs nor do I have an opinion on what the Chinese government should do from their side of the negotiating table in response to what they see as imbalances or NTBs. They should obviously do what is best for them.
I think its neither immoral nor illegal at all, if nothing is signed.
Nobody asked the recruiter to match you to this job. But he did and now you like it, thats not your fault.
If the recruiter would have been honest from the beginning, the meeting would not have taken place, because the company would have declined asap.
Its like people dropping you unwanted journals in your postbox and requesting you to pay or send it back if you dont like it...

This sort of 'translation is basically a different product altogether' setup was still quite common in other media until rather recently. Just look how many video games were completely overhauled for other markets. Super Mario Bros 2 is the obvious and often wheeled out example, but stuff like Totally Rad and Decap Attack were absolutely nothing like the original works they were based on.

It was pretty common in anime too at one point. See Robotech, which is infamous for actually being three separate series stuck together into one.

But it's interesting to see an example where the original author was seemingly involved in modifying the story for local publication.
Somewhat humorously, this sentiment could just as easily have been lifted from an alt-right blog as from a radically left website.
