I really hope Sessions takes him up on the offer. The main difference is that in places like Switzerland and the Netherlands they view drug addition as a _health issue_ rather than a crime you should be locked up for. I think the attitude towards drugs in the US is slowly moving away from Richard Nixon's "war on drugs", and more towards actually helping people with drug problems.

Having said that, Europe is way ahead of the US in a lot of (social) aspects, drugs being one of them.
I think it was "the amount needed during normal periods" vs. "the amount needed during the one extremely busy month of the year".

They realised other people will have this problem (maybe at different times), and they already had the technology.

Granted its easy to speculate with hindsight.

I've worked fairly extensively with SQLite in C and .Net bindings. I prefer C, but you can do nearly everything at basically full speed with the various interfaces. The only thing off the top of my head that didn't work properly recently was saving in-memory DBs to disk using bindings. I had to use C for that.
And then the legal system is structured to essentially allow this behaviour because it's not worth the time or effort in most cases, and the system is designed for settlement, not for justice - settlement which most often requires agreeing to silence - which then prevents society from getting educated/learning of these problems.
Since Objective-C is so similar to C, I don't see why you would write a compiler for one and not do the amount of work to get it working with C and not do the comparatively smaller amount to get Objective-C to work.
what is Breakout List?
There are still different levels of expertise and talent in engineering, broadly dependent on mathematical ability and skill for abstraction.

This is maybe more obvious in hardware design.

At the top of the tree you have people like Maxwell, Heaviside, and Shannon, who invent entirely new possibilities out of pure math.

At the other extreme you have technicians who don't truly understand math or theory, but can build a circuit that will probably work if handed a cookbook.

In the middle are people who can work with abstractions like DSP and filter design as long as the ground has been broken for them. They understand enough math to find their own way through a problem from first principles, but aren't creative enough to invent anything truly original.

CS is more amorphous, the levels are maybe harder to separate, and it's cursed by not having a truly consistent practical mathematical foundation analogous to the applied physics that underlies engineering of all kinds.

But IMO there are similar skill levels - although at the higher levels, abstraction can become a bad thing rather than a good one.

The problem is that although there's math in CS, after Church/Turing - which is pretty elementary compared to most physics - there isn't anything that passes for a formal theory of problem/solution specification and computation.

Without that objective basis, a lot of CS is academic opinion instantiated in a compiler. And a lot practical commercial CS is a mountain of hacks built on language and tooling traditions with no empirical foundation.

Commercially, the most productive people will be middle-rankers - not so clever they'll be thinking of new applications for category theory in an iPhone app, but clever enough to be able to think beyond cookbook development.

You can claim there are problems with regulators and then argue for better or stricter regulations. Assuming infallible regulators are necessary for any regulation at all is naive and self-defeating.
In the world of bookkeeping only accountants apply. Because of the complexity of tax laws you need to be an accountant to figure them out - it isn't worth your time unless you will use it constantly. It is a boring an tedious subject with legal implications if you get it wrong: you are better off focusing on your own business and letting an accountant take care of these details.

Thus if your accountant asks you to enter your spending into some program you buy that program and enter the details. Every few months your accountant files some forms, and once in a while gives you some spending advice.

The last thing accountants want is for business owners to decide that their accountant isn't cost effective vs. do it themselves. Most of the forms an accountant fills out are automated. The only thing left is audit (the numbers add up, but do they make sense?), and advice.
"I don't see what claim a copyright holder has against either the user of the mod or developer of the mod."

I've examined this problem and been keeping track of it for nearly two decades now, keeping an eye out for legal resolution of it, and to the best of my knowledge there is still bupkis on this front legally. Even before we consider EULAs, it is legally quite clear that they could not take the two copyrighted products Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and distribute the resulting new work. (And what EULA have you ever seen for a AAA game that would explicitly permit that?) It is completely legally unclear whether it is OK to release a tool that the end-user nominally uses to do the work themselves. On the one hand, there are certain arguments that this should be OK; I'm sure in the next few hours a few dozen of these will pour in. (Though I will say the most obvious error they make in general is to grossly overstate the degree of ownership the end-user has over the content, and, again, that's even before considering EULA clauses.)

On the other hand, if these arguments are accepted, then it allows a clear path to completely circumvent the aforementioned clear legal result that the end product could not be distributed. This is generally frowned on by the common law legal system, cynical comments to the contrary. It is also in a very real sense arguable that the user, who is putatively putting these two works together, can't really be said to be doing so when the sum total of their contribution is "the user clicked a button"; how can they be said to be responsible? It's pretty obvious that button-clicker can't be said to hold any copyright rights over the result, because "clicked a button" certainly doesn't raise to the level of creative input. It can be easily argued that in a legal sense the program is still the responsibility of the original combinind developer, and that the developer is still as responsible for the output as if they were directly distributing the output, what with the end results being (potentially at least) literally bit-for-bit identical.

I remain unaware of even the slightest hint of legal guidance in this area. And please note I'm not in this message trying to advocate either way; I'm simply discussing the situation. (I have opinions, but they are incomprehensible until you first understand that there is a problem at all.)
There is a lot of snark in these comments. No, mining pools do not mine. They host HTTP website where users sign up, and a "stratum" server, where miners connect, and submit their "work". No mining (as in no CPU usage for hashing).
What about the fact that Holmes actually lost money for investors and got no jail time. While martin lost no money but got 7 years of jail time. Where is the fairness? I am surprised by the stupidity I view on this forum, which is suppose to be frequented by people working in top tech.
> Are browsers/OSes/web servers the best emblems of reliability engineering to you?

Since so many people depend on them, I'd say yes. It's extremely obvious to users when they don't work, so I'd assume there's a lot of work put into making them reliable.
>The frustrating bit is that these scams paint a really sour picture of the space as a whole. There's a lot of value to cryptocurrencies, and as a technology it's poised to change the world in some very serious ways.

This gets repeated ad nauseam. Maybe it might be time to consider that this tidal wave of scams IS the way the technology is changing the world?
I remember being appalled that Japanese subway cars had FX trading ads targeted towards retail "investors" as a fun and easy to make some money. I hope that this hasn't proliferated to cryptocurrencies as well.

(Though OpenMW isn't a mod. It's a reimplementation of the engine.)

Bathesda also had some very strange requirements for the OpenMW folks when they were in contact[1]. Namely they didn't want them to show OpenMW working on Android (because Bathesda wanted to port it themselves?) nor did they want them to support the XBox version of the game. I doubt that Bathesda actually had the right to add those requirements to a project that is a from-scratch reimplementation of their game engine, but that's the current status.

Here Holmes not only doctored power point presentations to baloon numbers to investors, but put thousands of lives in danger (if some were lost, we will eventually find out) by providing wrong results for tests to many patients that lives relied on it, and she gets jail-free card and slap on the wrist.

How well defined is your son? Even if the group of atoms which he is composed of is not solid for 1 billion years, there is a way to approximate his average angular velocity around the center of the galaxy. They chose a bunch of stars on the outer rim of a galaxy, and they all had a similar angular velocity, despite large differences in their radii. Here they define it as the average angular velocity on the outermost edge of the galaxy.

> then these 2 copies diverged and are not the same

I agree.

For me, this implies divergence, even divergence of location (which happens automatically on a copy) is a change of identity, and so true identity must be inextricably linked to a continuity of location through time. Because of this, I reason that any copy operation, even a destructive one, is a change of identity and not-me, because it is really just a creation of a second instance and as mentioned, I would prefer this instance keep running over another if faced with my murderous thought experiment.

If merged into me, I agree it could become part of new-me.
I thought about the "anti-" phrasing after posting, and of course you're correct. It's not really relevant to my point, though. I agree "unfashionable" is a better term too.

As an example, less than 20% of Americans believe abortion should be totally illegal (2015) [1]. Granted, this is only one "social issue", but I think it's somewhat representative of my point.

There's a difference between advancing your political beliefs and not accepting the current status, and participating in antisocial behaviour in response, as the article suggests. Whether or not this behaviour is commonplace, is, well, a separate point entirely.

Nixon and his associates did a lot of damage in this area:

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," [former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman] said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

I'm glad Rick Steves made an effort to call out that particular aspect: "And we’re no longer arresting about 8,000 (mostly poor and black) people each year."

To take the same information and present it in a different way: this legal services company is able to win a lawsuit that an unassisted or naive litigant would lose.

Still slightly amused that my uncle thru marriage..his brother was the CEO of a very well known national store who invested in Holmes. My uncle in 2014 mentioned how excited his brother was to help Holmes out and her mission. Which seems like there was no mission just a spoiled brat telling lies for her ego's sake all the while leading all her parents rich friends to be defrauded.

I tried so many times to get investment from his brother yet his brother just played along/followed his rich friends vs. helping out a distance family member. I even had a startup in which I met with Google per their invitation to talk about buying us and every huge tech name knocked on our door. We only received 25k of investment from a Baltimore incubator, yet tried to get additional but I'm not a cool kid or a kid with rich friends or parents with rich friends.

Committing a specific amount of time gives you an incentive to better screen your applicants. It still doesn't give you an incentive to find them the highest offer. Let's say that someone could get 110k with a significant effort by your company and 100k without you.

You guys doing very little gets you 7k.

You guys putting forth significant effort gets you 7.7k.

That's not much difference and it makes a lot more sense for you to put that extra effort into finding another customer to get another 7k.

I don't see any obvious reason why you couldn't use deck of cards with ElsieFour

1) shuffle the deck
2) split into two parts, first part having 36 cards
3) Assign the alphabet to the 36 card part (e.g. by sorting the cards and assigning characters sequentially)
4) shuffle parts separately
5) combine the parts in a easily reversible way (e.g. simply appending)

When doing the crypto, just use the 36 card part. I suppose the remaining cards could relatively easily be repurposed as RNG for nonce generation.
Are you interested in crypto-assets if they're not structured like a Pyramid-Ponzi scheme, where wealth is redistributed weighted towards the earlier adopters - or are you excited about the potential of blockchains?

We already have currencies that worldwide could be transferred to a blockchain crypto-asset structure via governments destroying money ('take out' of traditional circulation) to put onto an immutable digital blockchain ledger, as opposed to someone receiving currency of choice in exchange (E.g. I give you this digital thing you call a 'coin', and you give me $1 USD).

If the main value is truly in the decentralized and immutable ledger aspects, then its use can eventually be State/government-mandated, instead of gaining collaboration through unreasonably incentivizing its adoption, no?
First: Apps can definitely be mission-critical. If you're lost somewhere dangerous, your GPS and mapping app can be as mission-critical as it gets. Your app which makes a phone call (and, yes, I'm calling the be-a-phone functionality of a cell phone an app here) can be mission-critical.

Is that software held to the standards of mission-critical software? Probably not.

Second: There's a lot of space between the software which is recognized as being mission-critical and software which is just Bioware's latest patch target, and that software includes things like web browsers and the web server software which hosts your company's website. Given how essential a web presence is to, you know, being able to make money, web server software is hardly disposable, but it is not held to the rigorous standards of mission-critical software.
