It has nothing to do with legally earned money, please don't be disingenuous.

It's the same concept as stealing a car and swapping VIN plates to conceal the theft. If the money was obtained legally, there is no reason to launder it. Laundering money is literally taking stolen currency and converting it into a form that is not traceable back to the theft, in order to hide the theft from the authorities.
The goal is to support just about anything you can throw at us, but the reality is that's going to take months of debugging whatever insanity the internet can throw at us. Derek from the Vimeo/VideoLAN team gave a really great talk on just how awful the world of user uploads can be at Demuxed 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRSO3RtUOOk&list=PLkyaYNWEKc...

That being said, we should handle most modern codecs you can throw our way. PDFs are going to fail (you'd be shocked at how often I've seen this). If you can, use h264 video and AAC audio as that's what our system is optimized for and will you give you the best performance.

Leadership lesson # 7: Look at how the Russians list their competitors... "Olympic Athlete From Russia" vs. "Canada" for other countries. That is some interesting leadership: Before the event occurs, meet with media outlets, visualize HOW the information will look when displayed to the MILLIONS of viewers.. structure the content. Interesting... or did you all not catch that?

There are lots of devs who live in the East Bay (I used to live there myself), but most don’t. The more successful devs (who you are looking to poach) generally live on the other side, and they live there because they don’t want to drive across the bay twice a day.

It’s more of a Moneyball move - go for the underappreciated talent you can get cheap. There are companies doing that, but it’s not for everyone. If you get specific with the location, you realize Oakland and Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and Hayward are pretty far apart, so you don’t even get great access to the whole East Bay. You might as well move to Austin, Denver, or Detroit at that point and pay the same price for a better location.

Although you might see major companies open offices if there is a critical mass eg. maybe it would make sense for Google or Facebook to open a satellite office in Newark if enough employees are commuting across the Dumbarton.

It’s being compared to cars in the same size class. Typically people who are buying the Model S would have bought a 7 series or S class, not a 5 or an E. it’s a very expensive car. Similarly Model 3 should be compared to BMW 3 series and Mercedes E class as those are the products a different consumer might be choosing between. It’s not really meaningful to compare sales between cars with dramatically different pricing because the price obviously affects demand.

Tesla does not have many of the “luxuries” that BMW has, but it has other benefits like better technology and 0 emissions. The news is that faced with that choice, many consumers are choosing Tesla over a 7 series and it’s quiet cabin.
I think maybe 15-20 years ago this might have been a valid concern, but technology has allowed the advancement and creation of biomedicine.

The reason you are getting downvoted is probably twofold.

(1) Patents are not copyrights. They are distinct. You can patent a business process, which covers a ton of algorithms.

(1) Copyrights can cover the expression of facts. eg. ESPN can't copyright baseball statistics, but they can copyright the {webpages, spreadsheets, books, magazines} they publish which contain nothing more than factual scores / play statistics.
(a) Using your own domain doesn't require using your own mail server, you can point your mx server at Google apps if you're comfortable or your registrar probably supports mail forward if you don't want to pay for G Suite.
(B) it means you can keep your email address if you ever leave Gmail.
All of that is a good thing in my book. I've been the victim of the "customer service backdoor" on Amazon multiple times. It's ridiculous that someone can just about credentialize as you without even having to log in. They made off with whatever sensitive data the customer service rep had in front of them just from chatting to someone on that anonymous support chat widget.

Meanwhile, all you have to do is backup your 2FA secrets. Why not make it a part of your regular computer backup routine?

> The default should be to update constantly. Expecting developers to remember to manually trigger updates just results in perpetually-stale dependencies. If a specific issue is found with a newer version, then having the ability to explicitly pin to an old version is reasonable.

I'd argue dependencies should be manually updated constantly.

While version pinning does allow you to accrue technical debt if your team has discipline it does allow you to manage the upgrade process and understand the impacts of a dependency upgrade.

Even without obvious API changes it's possible that the implementation details of a library's method can cause your code to function differently, which can be caused by the introduction of a bug, the fixing of a bug your code didn't realize was a bug, or any minor quirks that may change between versions. When you manually upgrade you know exactly what to test and what to look for because (presumably) the person doing the dependency upgrade is someone who knows how the dependency is used. If you do not do manual upgrades but automatically update everything all the time bugs can sneak in and it won't always be easy to track down what caused it.

Keep in mind a lot of these passwords are associated with email addresses in the actual dumps. By allowing a user to use one of these passwords, there's a non-negligible chance you're knowingly allowing them to use a username/password combo that is publicly available, and that any hacker who wanted to compromise their account could do so _on their first try_.

Besides, when it comes to passwords... half a billion really isn't all that much. There are (26*2+10)^8 = ~218 _trillion_ possible 8-character alphanumeric passwords. So even if every single one of these half a billion passwords were 8-characters long, you'd still only be disallowing ~0.0002% of them.

OMP is only good for CPU bound code. You try to do IO inside OMP parallel section, and you’ll put the whole OS thread to sleep. The OS kernel will likely reschedule some other thread on that hardware thread, but that rescheduling is an expensive process.

Goroutines and .net tasks allow a nice mix of CPU bound and IO bound code. While a goroutine/task is waiting for IO or something else to complete (timer in this example), the runtime will immediately use the hardware thread for some other task, without OS involved.

Uh, that's because Russia was banned from the 2018 games due to systematic doping and institutionalized cheating on doping tests in prior Olympics, but athletes from Russia were permitted to compete under the Olympic flag.

That wasn't a Russian presentation decision based on visualization and consultation with media outlets.

Yes, it's a terrific stepping stone to providing premium services as well. You may find you and your team naturally gravitating to a core competency that really interests you. Such as voice services, media streaming, etc.

Just be aware of the potential liabilities. Clearly demarcate ownership of all assets in contracts. As well as any obligations for future services. At some point a client may decide they can save costs by "cutting out the middle man" and negotiating directly with you!

China previously bought its way into several of our Presidential elections. There was a small fraction of media obsession with that story compared to Russia now, for obvious reasons.

2007 LA Times: "Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown."

"But is what’s happening actually new? And is what’s happening as significant as the news makes it out to be?"

I mean, you should be able to answer those questions, otherwise you've put yourself into a tautilogical little bubble ("There is nothing new/just fearmongering, so I don't need to pay attention to it. I didn't pay attention to it, so I didn't hear anything new". Return to step 1)

"The Russia stuff has always seemed like fear mongering to me. It’s a big scary enemy messing with our political system."

Are you saying that countries don't really mess with other countries political systems? Because they do it all the time (including and maybe especially the US).

This basically reads like you saying that "bad/scary news isn't real, because I've decided that bad/scary news sounds like 'fear mongering' and couldn't possibly affect me". I mean, war is a thing. People and countries do hostile things to each all the time, often disastrously. Reporting on this isn't fear mongering.

I notice you side stepped the direct question regarding whether or not your initial statement was true. You then go on to state that it isn't about overall improvement (something that can be measured) but rather improvement compared to an imaginary world that might have existed (something that cannot be measured). You then say that wealth inequality has grown exponentially. I'd like to see a verifiable source for that assertion. If you are just going to virtue signal and call me names, there is no need to respond.
Yes. I can completely make that happen.
If I understand your question: nothing, professional associations become anti-competitive gatekeepers in every endeavor.

Roughly 30% of US workers have mandatory occupational licensing before they can do their jobs. Licensed services have roughly 15% higher prices than nonlicensed ones. Most of those workers are not in safety critical jobs - on average an interior designer faces more stringent licensing requirements than an EMT.

Unions and professional associations have consistently been the main lobbyists advocating professional licensing as a way to keep wages high (by keeping supply low) and guarantee a role for the organization. Even in medicine, the number of residency slots is controlled in a way that creates a stable, minor shortage of doctors.

I'm not against all licensing and oversight, obviously. I'd rather have a cap on residencies than untrained doctors, if those are the only two choices. But the history of 'every other endeavor' looks to me like a lesson in how oversight organizations will cause exactly this problem.

> Defending Taiwan (and Japan) is one area where the US would do exceptionally well in any war.

According to a former US State department official (I heard on a recent podcast interview), China never cared to take Taiwan. If they wanted to, all they need to do is cut off access to fresh water from the Chinese mainland.

The US might be able to prevent a ground invasion or counter-attack missile batteries, but the island will fall quickly if China put it's mind to the task.

> Better yet, we’ve learned since that you can still get most of the benefit without WHO-approved stockpiles of ORS. You can use a number of widely available commercial products that essentially replicate ORS, from sports drinks to Pedialyte. You can also make good oral rehydration solutions yourself at home for pennies: Just take 32 ounces of water and add 6 teaspoons of sugar and a half-teaspoon of salt. There are just two pitfalls to avoid, according to my colleague Regan Marsh, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a medical director for Partners in Health. First, fight the urge to sweeten it too much. “People want to make it more sugary because of the taste, but that proportion of salt and sugar is important.”

I did this several years ago, after dehydrating myself while working outside on a hot day. Water didn't touch my thirst, then I realized I needed electrolytes. I used lemon juice, sugar, and a good amount of salt. It was delicious.
If they meet the spec, they're not stupid solutions, it's a stupid spec.
