For runs of maybe 5-10+ boards, SLS 3D printing is pretty competitive because you can design everything to fit exactly. The setup cost tends to be high (minimum order of £40/$50), but individually a small printed enclosure will cost the same or less than a box from Hammond or the like. Certainly compared to the cost of customising a name-brand enclosure (short run), it's a no brainer, and you can add awkward structural elements that simply aren't possible even with CNC machining.

Once you get a bit bigger (physical volume), the cost becomes prohibitive and you can look at etruded aluminium. If you're clever you can design a PCB to act as end panels. 3D printing is also a nice stepping stone before getting a machined enclosure made - saves a lot of cash if you find you've missed something.

And yes - too easy to forget things like standoff holes, or where a connector is going to be mounted. I suspect because it's annoying having to double your board area so you can fit an M3 clearance hole/keepout. Cheaper to not bother. If you go with 3D printing you can do things like add slots and slide your board in.
I dug a little deeper and still did not find it.

There were two similar cases, one in which the box truck had a pass-through into the cabin, and based on this, the conviction was upheld because it was deemed that the pass-through from the passenger compartment of the vehicle into the cargo compartment allowed the defendants knowledge and control.

In the other case, there was no pass through and the conviction was overturned.

I will dig through some more files tomorrow. They were both State of Florida cases.

Another interesting(older) case was one in which a defendant was seen leaving an unoccupied house, was 'stopped and frisked' and a Tylenol(or some other legal OTC drug) bottle containing some sort of illegal drug(MDMA or something like that) was found in his actual possession(on his body). The defendant told the police that he had taken the bottle from the house and was unaware it contained illegal drugs. The conviction was overturned because while he knew of the presence of the pills in the bottle and could clearly exercise dominion and control as it was in his actual possession, there was no evidence to indicate he had knowledge of the illicit nature of the substance.

Makes sense, in retrospect. My C64 keyboard was awesome. I took touch typing in high school on old school typewriters, and the C64 keyboard seemed natural and fast to me.

I had gotten a steal of a deal on it... basically another high school kid bought one and didn't understand it, so I got a fire sale price on it.

My friends had inferior things like Timex Z81's or similar, so I was soaring past them just on touch type ability.

And my middle school had a relationship with DEC, so we had decent VAX/VMS 11/780 backends with VT-200 terminals.

Truly most of any of my success was, "right place at the right time", versus any real mental advantage on my part. I'm truly grateful for advantageous timing. It helped me more than any skill of my own.
I would like to draw attention to Gallup's "Business and Industry Sector Ratings" as polled in August of 2017. http://news.gallup.com/poll/12748/Business-Industry-Sector-R...

"Computer Industry" ranks first in net approval, while "Internet Industry" ranks fifth (in between are "Restaurant Industry", "Farming and Agriculture", and "Grocery Industry").

I don't particularly buy into this "techlash" as a prevailing phenomenon.
Amazon has a serious problem with counterfeit goods and fake reviews. One might think that with the rise of AI/ML catching fake reviews and counterfeits will be much easier but Amazon doesn't seem to be doing any thing. In which case, allowing them to handle money seems like a recipe for disaster.

As for the Ant Financial comparison, I find it hard to believe that Amazon is not utilizing the reserves it gathers by selling gift cards on its platform. Those too are excess reserves to be paid to suppliers once customers utilizes and buys something from a supplier.

What's the alternative? Let them play out their wars in their own style (aka more Assad-style conflicts but with Iran and Saudi as well as Turkey and Israel doing the business of war)?

While I think GWB and Obama both did us a great disservice in stirring up things in the ME. We also cannot just let them "duke it out". It'd be 10x-50x worse.

Pulling out now --would exacerbate the issue incredibly. Only people on the extreme right and extreme left believe that to be our best option.

We killed many, many Germans and many Japanese, in indiscriminate carpet bombing campaigns. Not many of those kids with "dead dads" became terrorists.

The USSR did some pretty nasty things in Afghanistan. You don't have Afghani terrorists going over to Russia and getting theirs.

After squeezing all the potential I could off my VIC-20 (and there was way more than meets the eye), I bought a 2nd hand Atari 400 which was fitted with an actual keyboard. Never asked them how they did it and never bothered to check if this was something you could add for a price or whether it was a home-made hack by the guy I bought it from - anyway, many fond memories of endless hours of gaming, though all those gaming hours meant that I developed and experimented on it far less than the previous VIC-20 ... :)
That's awesome. I definitely want to move to decentralized exchanges ASAP to minimize the trust required for these kinds of transactions.

It would be strange to be outraged if, for example, Lockheed was doing something for the military, as they are primarily a defence company. Some might choose not to work for them for that same reason.

If you have a similar board you might make changes to it, or you might wire together some breakout boards. But in my professional experience, it's rare for anyone to use breadboards or perfboard, especially in the last decade or so since SMT became standard and PCBs became so quick and cheap.

2018 and 2019 is when you'll start to see all the distros with an enterprise support lifecycle (RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu LTS, SLES, probably others I'm forgetting) start to move more heavily to Python 3, since Python 2's EOL is in 2020. As your link notes, Ubuntu and Debian are trying to make their next long-term supported stable releases use 3.x as the default Python.

Looking to the following iteration, any distro releasing in 2020 with Python 2.7 as default and a support lifecycle greater than 6-9 months, doing so after 2020 regardless of lifecycle, will be irresponsible. I doubt any of the major ones will overlook this, not even those which target hobbyists instead of enterprises.

(Disclaimer: While I am a Debian developer, I have no personal involvement in this transition for Debian or any other distro.)

"People can bring a class action suit against a private company"

Not anymore. I guarantee you that any private company that would try to provide those services would have a "you can't join a class action; you have to go through arbitration" clause.
Disagree with all 4 of these:

1) They are publishing which coins are held by the index, so the choice of coins is being given away for free, not just to investors.

2) Coinbase's main product is a SaaS account that lets you buy the same coins without knowing how to manage a wallet - so you can implement the index and skip the management fee using an account with them.

3) Controlling administrative access to an account with a fund has the same challenges as controlling administrative access to a coinbase account.

4) Funds have to pass through taxable events to customer (other than some structures which must pay the tax themselves) -- the taxation doesn't disappear because it's wrapped by another entity. Plus, the prospectus shows that the Coinbase fund will only need to rebalance once a year when it recalculates available supply on Jan 1.

There's really no excuse for the high fees on this fund. It's 100 times easier to manage than a typical stock index ETF, which must manage many more names plus dividends, splits, etc. And it charges 20x the fees.

Not to mention that most interesting parts just don't come in through-hole packages, and the time it takes to wire up anything even remotely complicated. Yes, there are some prototyping boards that have various SMD package footprints, but PCBs fabrication is generally cheap and fast enough now that it's not really worth the time anyway if you're reasonably sure everything works in theory.
It would have to be something to the effect of getting the kit in a store and sending it in with a public key and no return address. They check that the associated account has paid, run whatever analysis and add the encrypted results to the account. The major bottleneck is probably getting the kits to the user; workarounds I can think of that don’t involve having your own kit available in stores would be either having a list of generic kits that would work or piggybacking off of 23andme’s distribution and accepting their kits (though I’m sure they wouldn’t be happy about that, to say the least).
"It's obviously possible to NOT lose money delivering much more difficult things than paper. FedEx and UPS do it all the time. But they're private businesses who compete with each other (and Amazon and whoever else), so they have to figure it out or they won't be around."

They also do not have the requirements to serve the entire country, and they do not have the bonkers pension requirements placed on them like the USPS does.

"The USPS, meanwhile, doesn't have to compete with anyone (in fact, it's illegal for anyone else to deliver mail) and has no incentive or need to be efficient because they can draw on the US Treasury whenever they need to. It's not that they're bad people, it's just the nature of the incentives and system involved (and also it's run by congress). These same dynamic would be there in banking though, which is why this seems like such a bad idea."

Money is far from being the sole motivator.
> I must have missed the democratic discussion about private businesses assisting in killing people at all, a duty traditionally exercised by states.

You missed the "using their stuff to" part of that quote, the opportunities for melodrama here are fewer than you might've hoped.

In some way every service you could offer anyone is part of the war machine. When you operate a daycare, you're taking care of somebody's kids, and that somebody either does something for, or is involved with the military. One of the actions typically carried out by an active military is killing people.

Somebody is always using the products of your labour, in some fashion or level of abstraction, to kill people in whatever way their outfit, organization, or mandate deems appropriate.

And if we're to be more honest about what's going on here, you could just as easily say that Google is helping the U.S. government not kill people they never intended to kill. Also, I think it's rather reasonable to assume that the U.S. government's interest in continuing the drone program, or the military operations it replaces, is largely independent of Google's willingness to help them with targeting, which to me indicates that Google has something of a moral obligation to help make that happen if they're called upon to do so.
I guess the point I was trying to make is that there is plenty of room for budget trimming - you could go straight to the budget for fighter jets or soldiers or whatever the big ticket items are, but you're going to get a lot more resistance.

I see what you're saying, but you must see the flaw in this logic. This theoretical person objects to the explicit injustice, because it's right in front of them. But then they still do nothing about the implicit injustice, because it's not right in front of them.

It is my opinion that most of us in society are well informed enough to know about those implicit injustices. We read about it in the newspaper, or hear about it on TV, or in movies, or from our peers, or leaders. And then, as if by jedi mind-wipe, we just change the channel.

In my own humble opinion, this kind of outrage at the explicit is disingenuous. I think it stems from at least a faint idea, a possibility, that this person is complicit, but desperately wants not to be. I think that the way we live our lives proves how much we really care about the injustice. The outrage is just so much theater, and we're both the actors and the audience.
I did 23andme back before they had to stop doing some of the medical stuff. They discovered a serious and potentially harmful mutation that I had. I showed my GP who then confirmed it with other tests. It's something that could kill me, and knowing about it allows me to avoid situations where it could.

The ancestry stuff is really really cool too. I'm 2.7% neanderthal! My whole family discovered aspects of our history that we didn't expect.

Nah, the fund starts trading only 5 days after trading becomes available on GDAX. From the methodology paper: "Each reconstitution will occur at 5pm Pacific Time on the fifth day that the new asset is traded on GDAX. This is designed to reduce the effect of any temporary price volatility in the new asset in the first few trading days after its listing."

When I was younger my parents gave me a lot of space to explore things I’m interested in, not like most of the folks I know in my folks’ social circle. The problem is when I was younger (middle/high school) I really did not have the discipline to explore my interests fully in a way that would appeal to admissions committees and learned very little about a wide range of subjects that aren’t particularly useful - I wasted at least 5 years of my adolescence like this. Overall it wasn’t bad but I feel like I would have been better off had I been given (and more importantly requested/accepted) more guidance with regard to career and educational/learning opportunities. By the time I got to college I was years behind my peers at top institutions, honestly not sure if I can catch up.

The situation involving the Khmer Rouge is quite complex. They were initially associated with the "Communist" block, but closer to the Chinese side. So after the Soviet/Chinese split, they ended up opposite from the Vietnamese, who where aligned with the Soviet Union. That in turn led to the US supporting them when they went to war with Vietnam. The genocide was pretty much over at that point, since the Khmer Rouge had been in power for a while (those they wanted dead had already been killed) and lost control over most of Cambodia to the Vietnamese.

It was definitely a moral failure on the US side to support a known genocidal group based on "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"-type reasoning, but I don't think you can hold the US directly responsible for the victims that were already dead at the time.
Im imagining some kind of system where:

The Alice company would either put DNA collection kits for sale on Amazon or tell people where they can buy a kit that meets the required criteria for collection.

Then people pay the company in bitcoin (how to separate your bitcoins from your identity is left as a exercise for the user) and once they've paid they're provided an input field to enter a public key they've generated.

The website would then generate a barcode you'd use to label your sample before mailing it in, or it could be a QR code of your public key.

When a sample arrives at the lab they scan the barcode, and check to ensure that there is a public key tied to that bar code and that they've paid.

They then run the sample and publish the results online, accessible to all, but also encrypted with that users public key.

The user then checks the website every day for week after they've sent their sample in. Once they find their results by searching all results for the one labeled with their public key they download the results and then use their private key to unencrypt them.
Team Building Activities That Will Last You Through the Year
> downvoted. Why?

Networks have changed a lot since 1983. The only good idea from that model is “you can build a higher-level protocol on top of a lower level protocol”. Nowadays software ate every level of the OSI model including physical layer, and the idea of composing these layers is kinda obvious because that’s how people design complex software.

> has been beneficial in all sorts of ways

Having a knowledge of the OSI model has been beneficial to me in only one way, when someone asked me about it on a job interview.

> It is still worth understanding the basics of it though.

I know the basics, but I think that for younger people the OSI model is mostly useless. There’s modern stuff to demonstrate that principle of composability of protocols, e.g. websocket/http/tls (all of them are based on each other and yet all are on the same OSI level 7).

If the token is only good for one use or for a short period of time (minutes not hours) it's probably fine. I've used them in URL's for invite links. One time use that expire after a short amount of time. Probably not perfect for high security applications like banks or health care but for most applications it's fine.
A full logic simulation of a processor can be done from VHDL or Verilog code in software, but cycle accurate simulations are many, many orders of magnitude slower than a real IC.

You can set up testbench code that feeds in data and stuff, and link different stuff together digitally. I don't know if there's much in the way of analogue simulators like SPICE hooked up to logic simulators though.

The next level down is to run it up on an FPGA, which is only a few orders of magnitude slower than you can clock an IC.
>what do you mean by 'living', and why does a legal entity fit that notion of living?

Do I need to define "living"? I may just list some living organisms everyone agrees that they are living organisms such as animals, plants, and bacteria. Their common element to me is not that they have a visible body but their ability to make intelligent decisions to further their existence. So to me, to have a biological body is not a requirement to be alive. The only requirement is the ability to make intelligent decisions to perpetuate its existence as an organism. What I am saying is that life start as the result of an agreement between entities. Human body is the result of an agreement between the egg and the sperm. A legal entity starts as a legal entity. Why do you think corporations cannot be considered live organisms?
There's a contrary point of view which is, "I've transported myself right here, into your store, with money in hand, ready to buy this thing right now" You, local merchant, have a distinct advantage over all online and all other B&M retailers and all you have to do is provide a reasonably close approximation to the same value I can get by tapping a few buttons on my phone and waiting 1-2 days.

The local merchant has the advantage, but many of the small, local merchants around here seem to be content to pull a Leon Lett on the 1 yard line. [0]

"Sorry, our price is $XYZ [50% higher] and we don't price match."
