This is an odd change from Cloudflare. Were it not for the DDoS amplification problem it'd be perfectly reasonable to make recursive DNS servers publicly accessible, but memcached servers should never be exposed to the public internet - they're not designed to be and doing so allows everyone to exfiltrate, modify or delete the cached data which you almost certainly don't want to be possible.
Watching movies has to be one of my most inspiring accidents. In 2017, due to some external circumstances [1], I watched maybe 50+ movies on the IMDB top 250 list. Kubrick is definitely my favorite director that I didn't know about before. His stuff takes some time to digest, but they are definitely worth watching. Besides 2001, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket are all worth watching. I have to re-watch Dr. Strangelove at some point because last time I didn't finish it.

The other director that I think I started to 'get' (however hard to believe) is Coppola. I didn't get Godfather before that at all despite having watched the movie 3 times. After the second Godfather movies, I started to see the Godfathers as human and empathize with them ("Yes, I can totally see myself doing that"). I haven't read the novels, however, I hope to get to the novels at some point.

At the same time, when I re-watched Tarantino's movies, I became less impressed in his style. After gore and somewhat snarky theme, I failed to see anything else. I still equally love Coen brothers regardless of how many times I watched their movies.

My old boss who owned a wine importing business used to tell me when you have tasted enough wine, you will know what good wine is like without having to describe it. After watching 50 movies or so, there was a moment when something started to 'click.' I think it gave me inspirations to do take notes of human feelings and emotions and empathize with them. I am more inspired to produce meaningful software that does not have to be technically challenging to write, and write blog posts that are not about technically hard/clever code. After watching "Sunset Blvd," I decided that money was never my problem, so I think less about money.

I'm 30 now and have always been a nerd before. Good movies have partly changed my life.

This should be a requirement in order to align Credit companies interests with the interests of their "users". If they get defrauded often enough that the administration costs of freezing and unfreezing become problematic, they will likely finally try to stop getting hacked.
Titanium isn't worse to machine than stainless steel.
Sure, it's not as straightforward as mild or annealed steel, and not as buttery as aluminum, but the "hard to machine" rep is fairly overstated.

Titanium stock is at least 5x more expensive than steel at retail, so I think the material scarcity is still the major problem.

Isn't part of the punishment the therapeutic aspect for victims? Our justice and prison system is broken in many ways, but it has always sat kind of wrong with me that someone could steal from, hurt, or kill me or someone I love and then go to a rehab camp to learn why what they did was wrong.

I definitely try to be progressive about it, and for victimless crimes 100% rehabilitation and learning, but If a loved one or me was a victim, it would be difficult to watch them taking humanities courses.
These keep coming out, but I guess I just don't get it. Say, looking at it from the POV of parents with daycare/school-aged kids. Let's say that school always starts at 8, and kids wake up at 7. Full-day school/aftercare etc. is done by 5 PM or so.

During the summer in California, with daylight savings, the sun will rise at ~6 AM and set at 8 PM. The morning sun is mostly useless, at least for me. But 3 hours of sun after school ends is nice for kids to be outside, it's warmer, etc.

Without daylight savings, the sun would rise even earlier at ~5AM and set at 7 PM. So we've lost an hour of evening sun for an our of super-early morning. Sounds like a bad deal to me, but what am I missing?

Wait...are we talking an employee in the sense of a CEO, or in the sense of some lower-level position? First, my child is more precious than my business. Second, a nanny has much more direct influence over a child than an employee does over a business (except in the case of particularly-powerful employees, of course). Third (and ignored by the person you responded too, as well), not all felonies are created equal.
The only redeeming quality of moving to Arizona has been the lack of daylight saving time.
Given the number of times that Tesla PR has been forced to walk back Musk's claims, I would take anything he says about Tesla's future with mountains of salt.

And in [1], Musk has added yet another task to Tesla's growing todo list. Not content with building cars, he wants Tesla to make the machines that make the cars, despite not yet having achieved even the basic competence (on a company basis) with the machine they've purchased to do that. Before you can dream about revolutionizing manufacturing processes, you have to prove you understand the process enough to revolutionize it, and Tesla (and Musk) clearly doesn't.
You're sentenced based on the severity of the illegal act, not based on the severity after you tried to smooth things over. So he would be sentenced based on the millions he defrauded, not based on the fact that the people were made whole in the long run.

Source: I just asked my girlfriend, a third year law student. Also, you know, the judge for Shkreli's case: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-crime-shkreli/pharma-...

"[U.S. District Judge] Matsumoto said in Monday’s order that under federal law, all of the money that investors put in Shkreli’s funds as a result of his fraud, about $6.4 million, must be considered loss. She also said he should get no credit for paying investors back because he only did so after they became suspicious. "
i don't know that any of the crowd funding things are structured appropriately for sending a representative to an auction to try and win something for a crowd. that would be an interesting feature for them to add.

I think the fact that this doesn't apply to "the people storing our credit and SSN information" is just about the apex of stupidity.

But no, on a more serious note, the process should look more like:

2. Person gets alerted for approval of said request

3. After pull, credit remains locked
It was just a summary of my observations.

>He would still be out and doing his thing if he didn't commit a crime.

Yes, this is the biggest point I was trying to push. He would still be doing it because it's perfectly legal. Other companies continue to do this because it's perfectly legal. Nothing has been done to fix this.
What makes it a stretch?

In both scenarios there is a tradeoff between personal gain and someone else's wellbeing.
That's quite disingenuous. Entirely different circumstances and facts.

You're using the absolute maximum prosecutors were threatening Swartz with in order to extract a plea deal. They would not have brought anything near that to trial had it gone to trial, much less convicted him on it. In fact, in your link, this is what he was offered: "During plea negotiations with Swartz's attorneys, the prosecutors offered to recommend a sentence of six months in a low-security prison".

The statute Swartz was charged under has also widely been recognized as flawed. Not the case with what Shkreli was charged with.
We understand, you're trying to draw attention to drug price hiking still occurring, and you think that this conviction will blow the whole thing under the rug. I agree with you on the first statement, but I think we disagree that the second was intentional.

The original replier (9889095r3jh) had an issue with (3), which is not really an accurate summarization (I don't think the prosecutors acted because he was hated; using the word misstate makes it seem like a mistake rather than outright lying; and it's totally irrelevant whether he tripled their money).

I agree we should change the regulation structure to prevent drug price hiking: any suggestions on how to do it? I for one would love to donate money to this cause if it's actionable.

Also, I'm sorry you're getting a lot of flak for that comment. It's mostly nitpicking, so safe to ignore once you see the point the nitpickers are making (including me).
I'm a big free market guy, but the idea of a private entity profiting off of collecting my personal financial information (and charging ME to have some degree of control over it) is absolutely insane

It is proof of mind, and there are no miners anymore. By posting and someone upvoting you they are allocating the rewards that the steem witnesses generate. Witnesses all run servers and are chosen by democratic votes from all steem users to represent steem. The list of current witnesses who have power changes from time to time. Someone who was in power last month might not be in power for a few months as it changes between witnesses, giving an actual chance of getting rid of bad actors, whereas in proof of work mining there is 0% chance of taking out a bad actor as the miner owns their equipment and there is nothing you can do.

There is a lot more you need to read and that is ok, you barely have any understanding of the fundamentals.

People are able to allocate their steempower to other users. If large accounts are misbehaving, small and medium sized accounts band together to make it stop, it is mutually assured destruction. Anyone can band together with anyone else and allocate power from their account to someone else. The super majority of people are good natured and want free speech and band together to combat against abusive/bad actors, of which there is only a handful on steemit and there is no issue at all
It would be fun to see some sentences given in terms of X qualifications instead of X time!
Skiing blind
To give some background on how his sentencing increased so dramatically, initially he was convicted but since no one lost any money his sentencing guidelines were 0-12 months(most likely no jail time since it was his first offence). As a general rule of thumb in federal fraud cases sentencing is primarily determined by the what's called the "loss amount" of the crime in question. But a couple weeks ago the judge decided to come up with a HYPOTHETICAL loss and base the sentencing on that! And that hypothetical loss was set at $10.4M! Meaning he just went from no jail time 7 years overnight. This seems beyond absurd and as far as I know has no precedence.
I personally don't care if the reasons are bad. I can't explain why, but I look forward to daylight savings time and dread when it ends.

It's amazing to watch the amount of mental contortions you're going through. I guess it's very important for you to maintain the consistency of your current worldview, and seeing the likes of Shkreli in a favorable light is an integral part of that. Ayn Rand would be proud.
Neither does being perfectly free to defraud investors.
It's a brilliant charade. Politicians were in trouble. They of course are paid to keep things nice for Pharma (including monopolistic practices on drugs) but people were angry and they after all have to get reelected every 2,4,6 years, so they had to make it look like they were doing something without actually doing something. The brought Shkrelli in so they could perform as politicians concerned about their constituents. He wasn't willing to play his part.

Shkrelli still made a perfect scapegoat. The news has seemed to move on from the monopolistic practices thing like it never happened.
Great to see protonmail working on this.

It's shocking how much sensitive data is sent by mail (contracts, passwords, lawyers, etc..) without pgp signing / encryption on a daily basis.
All of those things could be true and coops still be preferable to the alternatives.
As a quick first pass at this, it looks like Shkreli was convicted of 2 counts of securities fraud (15 USC § 78j) and 1 count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud (18 USC § 1343) [0][1]. According to the US Sentencing Guidelines[2] §2B1.1, each offense of securities fraud carries, conservatively, 6 points, plus let's say 4 additional points under §2B1.1(19) for being an officer or broker, which it's my understanding he was. Let's ignore the fact that this fraud deals with potentially millions of dollars, and how that increases the number of sentencing points. Let's just say the conspiracy conviction carries the same penalty (although it seems like it could actually be higher, but not sure).

This all adds up to 30 sentencing points, which carries a recommended sentence of 97 to 121 months in federal prison under the US sentencing table [3].

A 7 year sentence (84 months) in prison doesn't seem cruel or unusual by any stretch of the imagination, and if anything seems like he got off easy. The judge didn't have it out for him, he committed a serious crime, was found guilty by a jury of his peers, and is now going to serve serious federal time for it. He broke the law and knew what he was doing. Maybe the guidelines are harsh, but that's way our laws our written. Take it up with congress.

Or, the town engineer can simply add it in to the contracts. An example from the Project Gutenberg copy of [The Municipal and Sanitary Engineer's Handbook](http://www.gutenberg.org/files/55935/55935-h/55935-h.htm#Pag...), page 35, there's a considerable discussion of how to specify a road paving contract. And later on page 57 or thereabouts there's talk about specifying the machinery needed to break the stones for a roadway (some produce much better road stones than others). And page 163 (about) has a super interesting diversion on how awful most companies are about replacing the road surface after ripping it up:

>"The pitcher’s mound for amateur slow-pitch softball varies according to the field and age of players, but is generally between 40 and 50 feet from home. This means that after a ball is hit, assuming an exit velocity of between 78 and 102 mph, the pitcher has between 0.456 and 0.350 seconds to react to a batted ball. Adding exit velocity shaves precious micro-seconds off that time. That was what made titanium bats so dangerous. Softballs became missiles and pitchers became targets. And the dangers are real. Players have lost teeth, eyesight, motor function, IQ points and even their lives when struck by balls hit off hot bats."

> They then made a copy of each server's entire drive, including ... every conversation that took place through its anonymized messaging system.

That's why you should not keep history. All messengers like WhatsApp that save history on the server have zero respect for privacy. A decent messenger should not save anything unless allowed by the user.
But how is requiring the programmer to know that he has to check error codes and whatnot any different from requiring the call be place in a try/catch block?

Most cases where exceptions are useful are when the alternative is knowingly causing such a state that will inevitably lead to a seg fault. It's much easier to raise at the point of failure instead of trying to limp until the application eventually crashes or loses you all your money.
I certainly think the cartels are worse. But both torture children soberly for economic gain. I have empathy for both situations. But just because Foxconn is legal, doesn't really make it better.

Also in case anyone missed it today, corporations have increased the violence they use against their critics (rivals?) [0]. Certainly the cartels are worse with their brutality, but they are no different than any other modern international capitalistic enterprise.

I remember reading somewhere that the whole switching time by an hour twice a year thing literally kills people every year.

The premise was that on the days right after the switch to the later sunrise schedule, sleepy people that were used to driving to work in daylight are now driving to work at night, and there's a statistically significant increase in traffic fatalities on those days.

My source has been lost to the sands of time, but it rings true for me.

My goal in life is to perform a us government sponsored cost-benefit analysis for ending "daylight savings time" and have it come out as an overwhelming positive.
The guy is certainly crass and I wouldn't trust him further than I can toss him, but the way our legal system has treated him worries me if I'm ever accused of a made up crime.

Looking at the photos of this guy, I'm starting to wonder if that sick little smile he has is actually his stress response. Maybe that's how he looks when he's sweating bullets and feels guilty, and we all interpret that as him being an asshole who is glad he got away with the things he's done. I've certainly known people with weirder ticks.

Or maybe he's literally a horrendous human being who is rightfully hated for the horrible things he's done.
I'd recommend you to look into borg backup for your important data. It has deduplication and such making the deltas rather small.
Also keep track of every time that you see references to each topic both before and after bringing them up.

And have a control group that you simply don't bring up at all. Make sure to have more than one, so that you still have more remaining if someone around you brings up one of your control topics.
Because you're missing one hour of sleep? Maybe try to ease into it? 2-3 days before it happens, start getting up 15 minutes earlier. Then 30 minutes. Then 45 minutes. Then when its daylight saving get up on time (which would be 60 minutes earlier than usual, but only 15 minutes earlier than the day before).
Simple: It is programmable, and built for maximal extensibility. I know of no other environment (including e.g. Python) that is as malleable as Emacs. In the end, this will lead every user to make Emacs their Emacs.

It will become different things for different people, to the point where it may be barely recognizable as Emacs. That is the power of Emacs. It can be whatever you want it to be.

They should have partnered more aggressively with universities and startup accelerators - at the end of the program you had to request a code to access it.
