It wasn't an attempt to prevent any warrant at all. It was an attempt to prevent the authorities from accessing data NOT COVERED BY A WARRANT. Once Uber's lawyers have reviewed the warrant they will instruct the sysadmins to provide the covered data in a clean way which doesn't expose extra data. Simple as that.

Generally speaking warrants are not granted for "all of your data." Imagine if every time the authorities got a warrant for some data Google has about a particular suspect, Google would reveal all of its internal data about every user, all of Google's internal financial files, etc. That would be insane.
This is fantastic! How can Gov funds go towards these projects and not have a decent designer on board. I'm pretty sure the underlying tech is just as bad.

There is no copyright on the character itself. There's a copyright on each piece of media the character has been in, like Steamboat Willie, but there is no copyright on Mickey Mouse. The character is trademarked, but not copyrighted.

The words "copyright" and "trademark" are different, and mean different things. You might know this and be fuzzing them for the sake of simplification, but if so, you've over-simplified. They are different, and treating them as the same is wrong and leads to confusion.

The copyright on Steamboat Willie will expire, allowing royalty-free use and copying of that movie, including Mickey Mouse. At that point, that version of Mickey Mouse will be free to us--BUT the ongoing trademark on the character will mean people should still stay away.

If we are casting votes, put me in the “very soon won’t own a car” camp and it’s because I have a kid.

My wife and I each gave up cars we loved because they didn’t make sense for our new kid oriented life. The econobox we have instead we both hate and will likely replace with “nothing” when it becomes cost stupid to own.

I might buy a car after that but it will be pure toy.

I want to emphasize that success here isn't measured by the number of "free riders" that exist. I think that success is simply that enough people contribute enough funds to prevent anarchy and do little else.

Ultimately you don't, but ASCII_A requires double the intentional actions to name it and have it also be 'A', whereas 'A' vs 'E' or whatever else is a much easier typo.

Unless, as I wrote after, you have both ASCII_A and ASCII_E declared, which wouldn't be surprising.

I don't find the "spot the error" argument to be very convincing; I still name stuff, but just for the semantic value.

To add on: I just moved to Seattle from Chicago where I lived for several years. In Chicago, I used strictly public transportation or walked, it worked great because I never needed or wanted to leave the "city" in general. If I did, it was infrequent enough to warrant renting a car. All my errands could be done on the walk home from the office as well.

Now that I'm in Seattle (well, Bellevue), the beauty of the PNW has me going on several hours of driving and exploration every weekend. Good luck doing that without a personal vehicle. Also, my commute is agonizing, but even in a personal car it's still orders of magnitude more time efficient than the public transportation options, and I can get all my random errands for the family done during.

I'm probably preaching to the choir by replying to you, but my car is now an indispensable part of my life. I could only imagine not having it being in the densest and most "isolated" American cities at this point (Chicago, Manhattan possibly).

That would be an interesting court case to read - but I suspect they'd not make the argument - trademark is not blanket, its for the purpose specified - so merely copying or redistributing the work wouldnt trigger it, unless you try to use it to promote animation works or similar.
There's the third option of Foxconn building the factory in WI despite there not being tax credits offered.

Very few would make the argument that the EITC doesn't cost money because without it people wouldn't have kids. There's likely a correlation, but it's far from an "all or none" situation.

The "simplest" thing to do is to recognize tax credits as expenditures, because it balances things out pretty well and is probably closer to reality. The reality where companies build factories because they need them, and tax credits help but aren't the main reason.

(Thought experiment: we outlaw tax credits for building factories worldwide. Do factories stop getting built entirely?)

Democrats largely want to keep net neutrality under FCC, Republicans want it under FTC.

The FTC Chairman is Republican Maureen K. Ohlhausen that went to Antonin Scalia Law School.

Net neutrality has nothing to do with censorship, though censorship it is usually always bad. If you remember, Republicans used the FCC after the Janet Jackson Superbowl exposure event.

The right does want to make NN about censorship for some reason which I do not understand how equal access to every packet is censorship. Without net neutrality there will be more censorship because you'll only see what Comcast/Disney wants you to see. They want the right to inspect packets and slow down certain packets, this will lead to other bad surveillance encroachments as well without NN.
I mean, the definitions aren't yours to make. These words exist in the dictionary.

By the judicial system, obviously. Uber's lawyers will review the warrant and if they agree that it's proper they will instruct their sysadmins to provide ONLY THE DATA COVERED BY THE WARRANT to authorities. If they don't feel the warrant is proper, they will fight it in court. The vast majority of times warrants are upheld, so really all that happens is the authorities are only granted access to the data they had probable cause to request. What you're suggesting is that the authorities should have access to anything and everything that a person who happened to be logged in at the time of the raid had access too.

You are suggesting that the authorities should always be granted arbitrary access to a random amount of data, which is almost certainly not relevant to their case, any time they get a warrant for any data at all.

Further, you are acting as if that article is the end of the story, but it's not. There will be legal review by relevant professionals and Uber will provide whatever it is legally required to provide.

You're right - almost a third. Better than the 10% I floated. I'm suitably impressed.

Unfortunately that does little to help the cause though - 33% is enough to get me to say "not bad", but when you pitch the average consumer with a "you can totally use 33% of this cars features" well realistically that salesperson is getting laughed at.

OT: Do dark but high-contrast themes have the same issues?

I ask because, just to reduce eye strain in the other direction, I avoid bright screens where possible. Probably a side effect of often doing things late or even at normal times during winter. In any case, if I ever built a website it'd probably be dark-ish, but knowing about the pitfalls might help avoid them.

Even more off-topic, but in the interest of eyesight stuff - both switching between light/dark and dealing with bright screens have been basically unnoticeable since getting blue-filter coating on my glasses. Not sure I'd recommend it for color-sensitive work, but it's not problematic at all for programming and stuff like that.
Broken API: /proc/pid/stat
Recently, I needed to fetch the parent PID of arbitrary (Linux) processes from userspace (in C). For some reason, no standards define this function (pid_t ppid(pid_t)).

The primary and only supported version to accomplish this is by reading the first process' status file exported by the kernel in /proc/<pid>/stat (which is only available in Linux). This file contains the parent's PID as the fourth parameter, space separated, preceded by, among others, the executable name (in parentheses, for some reason).

Documentation (as in, man proc) tells us to parse this file using the scanf family, even providing the proper escape codes - which are subtly wrong.

When including a space character in the executable name, the %s escape will not read all of the executable name, breaking all subsequent reads. This problem affects some tools using this recommended method of parsing. Using the parentheses as separators does not work for the same reason, as does 'read until we see numbers again'.

The only reasonable way to do this with the current layout of the stats file would be to read all of the file and scan it from the end, since there are only numeric parameters after the executable name / current state fields.

The proper fix (aside from introducing the above function) however should probably be to either sanitize the executable name before exposing it to /proc/<pid>/stat, or move it to be the last parameter in the file.

This problem could potentially be used to feed process-controlled data to all tools relying on reading /proc/<pid>/stat using the recommended method, which includes several monitoring tools.

Your thought experiment already alludes to this: states can compete. If anything, the only thing that was “really” lost, practically, is the difference between WI and the second best offer.

There is no way a company with choice would ever go for a state which unilaterally put its foot down. You need an authority to say: no more credits. Or to otherwise put a quota on credits. That would balance things out. But until they do, it’s a tragi-economic race to the bottom. Nash equilibrium and all that :(

Messagepack is a serialization format, not a transport. It is an alternative to protobuf or json.

Mostly people use HTTP because there are so many services and components that already support it (load balancers, proxies, sidecars etc), it has well-supported options for authentication, conveys metadata seamlessly through multiple layers, and its overhead isn't an issue for the kind of payloads they are sending.

Plus, you know, curl.

1) Are those real-participant photos? If so, did they consent to having their photo on the front page? I'd leave individual details to after the user drills down to the individual's page, if at all. When choosing a music instructor, appearance should not be an important factor.

2) If putting a mailing address like that (I would move that to a Contact Us page), include the zipcode (94086). That looks like a residential block, though. There could be an arcane Sunnyvale business license requirement for what you are doing, so you might consider a separate mailing address instead, like a PO Box or private mailbox. Pro tip: for a PO Box, go to Santa Clara on Kiely -- it's a faster trip than Sunnyvale 94086.

3) The Search / Review / Contact elements look like they should be clickable. If those are just stubs, maybe put a rollover message there saying that.

4) I really like that violinists picture, but I'd shift the cropping to center the subjects better.

This can only be fixed by the FTC, yes. But it's against Google's interests for antitrust law to come back into vogue, so they've put a lot of money into getting folks on board with the FCC, which doesn't have jurisdiction over Google, being in charge.

In other words: Protecting Net Neutrality through the FCC is not politically stable. We have clear proof of that. Google just wants that because it's protecting its own interests over that of the public at large.

Writers of dictionaries are archaeologists of language. They do not prescribe the meaning of words like a programmer or mathematician. Their definitions are posterior to language. The definitions are in fact mine to make, provided they result in successful communication with people who have adopted similar definitions.

Go read my original post again. I am advocating against ambiguity in language, as this serves to obscure analysis. You are clearly happy to obliterate distinction, however, and have made no attempt at a positive argument why it is beneficial to discourse.

Language is a constant negotiation about the meaning of words, and I have made my position clear.
