The New York City subway system is old, one of the first in the world. It's not built to modern standards; in a lot of places it was built by cut-and-cover, which means excavating the entire route along the subway and then rebuilding the road essentially as a roof above the subway line.

As a result of this lineage it also has quite frequent stops, which are easy to put in when the subway is just a stairway's height beneath the street. To give you an idea, the 1 line stops at 14th, 18th, 23rd, 28th, and 34th Streets. That's five stops in one mile.
I used index cards to write all my papers in college, up to and including my MS thesis. One fact/idea/thought per card, including citations/quotes/rough diagrams. Once all the information is there, lay them out in order, and the rest pretty much writes itself.

They're a great way to organize information; it can be difficult to track down enough phones to spread them out on the floor and see the whole picture.
India's Crypto Investors Fight Back
Let me re-state what your saying:

Most sites are incapable of receiving, storing and handling credit card numbers. This is because the staff building the service either lacks the technical knowhow or the organizational wherewithal to deal with the problem in a successful way.

Why should it be any different for emails, names, usernames or passwords (because end users re-use those).

If everyone starts acting like this data is important (it is) and valuable (it is and that might decrease with the passage of this law) - we might just get to a better place. In the absence of regulation companies will get away with whatever they can - ethics be dammed.
Playing videogames, asking my parents the words I didn't know

Talking to people I met on a stick figure Flash animation portal using Google Translate (this was ~12 years ago so I was constantly made fun of but learned a lot!)

Watching films at first with Portuguese subtitles, then with English subtitles, then with no subtitles.

Reading books in English.

At this point I could read pretty well, write decently, but my pronunciation was terrible.

Before university my parents sent me to Vancouver for a month to have English lessons. Pronunciation and listening improved a lot!

During university I did a year abroad in Birmingham, UK. Talking to people with strong accents during the first week was tough, but got easy after that.

My English is noticeably not very good, but I'm pretty happy with it considering I had no more than a month of real lessons.

Megawatts is a power unit. To sustain 90MW for a 4hr flight you need a battery that can provide 360MWh of energy.

Anyone care to do the numbers on how much a lithium ion battery would weigh to be able to deliver 360MWh, and remember if you want to use it more than once you can full charge no discharge it.
A minor tip I saw on a video about the development of the Doom levels was to do them in reverse. The theory being that you get better at designing levels with time and the best levels should be near the beginning. Always liked the idea, but not had a chance to use it, yet.
As I mentioned in an uncle comment, recursive descent permits localised hackery to switch parsing scheme or dynamically fix tricky context-specific grammar constructs, which argues against tooling.

Tooling is still very useful for grammar validation though, and it's the way to go for ad hoc parsing of a simple or new language.

I think it's the most organic way to build a game, at least for my projects.

It sort of becomes a fractal process as well, where I'll end up with a sandbox zone for each different segment of the game, which then evolve into the production stages for each different area.
The technical limitations of the time were a factor as well. They originally planned to have some aliens on screen but were unable to come up with a way to do it convincingly, which led to the more ambiguous ending they ended up with.

I recently purchased one of these with the upgraded CPU and RAM(4.0 ghz CPU 16gb RAM): https://system76.com/cart/configure/lemu8

And I enjoy using it much more than either of the Macbooks I've gotten from work (A MBP 2015 and currently a MBP w/ the emoji bar). The keyboard is worlds better than current iteration MBP keyboards which I can't stand. I like just about everything better on this laptop than on the MBP save for the speakers which are pretty crap but I knew that going in as the form factor is made to be as portable as possible. The Pop OS is pretty nice but definitely has a couple of annoying bugs (nothing deal breaking though) but you can also have the laptop shipped with Ubuntu or just install whatever distro you are most comfortable with.

Performance wise it's just as good if not better than the MBP, almost everything feels a bit snappier but it could just be my imagination. I haven't benchmarked them or compared timings or anything.

IMO almost any laptop you install Linux on is better than a MBP so I may be a bit biased. The hardware is nice but overpriced and the software is just... terrible IMO. No native package manager, OS updates as of late are of questionable quality at best and their plans to start making their own chips don't fill me with confidence.

I had also looked in to this model: https://system76.com/cart/configure/galp3

But it was a bit more than I wanted to spend at the time, however it does fit in to your budget so might be worth looking in to.
DNSSEC is orthogonal to this. Its goal is to prove integrity of records between authoritatives and the closest validator. The validator is most often the resolver doing the recursion, not the client. The client can either revalidate all the answers and/or establish a secure channel between the itself and the resolver (with the added privacy bonus). The reason why many clients don't revalidate is because it's time consuming (basically same complexity as recursor), and fragile (recursive operators can work around DNSSEC screwups by adding negative trust anchors), so it's a tradeoff between convenience and risk.

There's an ongoing work to make revalidation easier - the client would basically ask the recursive to not only provide answer, but also a whole trust chain from a known trust anchor (so it would revalidate the answer without additional queries) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7901

>That's not the right behavior to be encouraging at the macro public health level, though. The goal of the taxes is to discourage use, by making the cost outrageous

And why's that the government's business exactly?

In a country that they actually offer free public healthcare, I'd understand it (sick people incur costs), but in the US and other such places, it's mostly the state playing nanny (even more so than the tax money).

It's a sad brag because if they had a good homegrown film industry they'd be bragging about that, which would actually be impressive. But they don't so they can't.

And there's a lot more to the entire art of filmmaking than what's encompassed by dubbing.

The Hollywood mention is the non sequitur, because Hollywood does produce lots of original work. There's no better film industry in the world, and certainly no higher-earning one (not even close). American film culture is dominant. If all you can manage is dubbing that well, it's a sad brag.

Thanks for the astute observation.

It's not clear that their goal is deterrence. If they are transparent with heuristics for ranking vendors, it could provide fabled market-based incentives for a vendor race to the top, narrowing the security gap between "best" and "worst" vendors. If highly rated vendors advertise their achievement, buyers could factor the rating into purchase decisions. The heuristics would need to evolve as the floor of vendors' security practices is raised.

The bigger problem is what happens if the market-based approach fails? Will regulators step in for certain classes of software? Regulators are less likely to understand Turing-completeness.

Minesweeper is NP-complete [pdf]
Regular speaking is definitely important. I'll add a related advanced tactic. Switch your inner monologue language to English. So whenever you're thinking with the help of language, do it in English. This will go a long way towards making your verbal speaking faster and more natural, because you'll no longer be doing quick translations in your head.

To be more precise, at least for me, this thinking language system seems to be heavily influenced by learning. I've been doing most of my thinking in English for the last decade or so, and most of the things I've learned during this time are stored in my head in English. [1] However my earlier life lessons are still in my memories in my original native tounge. This is interesting because I started learning English more than 25 years ago, but even things I consumed in English got translated and stored in memory in my native language.

--

[1] Of course there are more factors in play than just thinking in English. I've also been better than ever in English and English media makes up for a larger percentage than ever in my total consumed media. I'm sure all of these and more have played a role, in addition to changing my inner dialogue language, in storing my memories in English now.
>Tokyo was bombed to the ground in WW2 and still manages to do better.

An argument could be made that that's exactly why it's doing better. Since it got completely destroyed, it could be built from the ground up without the legacy costs that are now plaguing NYC's subway.

Vodafone Portugal absolutely does MITM your internet connection. I've seen it myself.

I was in Portugal last summer, and my family had a Vodafone 3G wifi hotspot. I noticed that on every single non-https webpage, Vodafone was inserting a banner with a huge load of JS, as part of their "Vodafone Secure Net" "feature"(https://securenet.vodafone.com/). They inserted their own code on every request to make sure that they could display a banner telling you whether or not a website was "trustworthy".

I managed to figure out the complicated steps to do on their systems to turn this "feature" off, but between that and some other bad experiences I've had with them I still don't trust them in the least.

That's pretty good. It would require some serious gullibility to defeat. If it's active attack, attacker may send the second mail with the passcode and instruct the user to enter it.

Though people are forwarding their second factor SMS confirmation codes for their banking accounts to attackers upon request, so it's not too far fetched someone would find a way to trick some users to enter it.

You save $100/month by not needing to take transit, but how much more is housing that's within biking distance? Extending your logic you might as well live within walking distance and save the Citi bike cost, as well.
Looks like the subway constructed there was done using cut & cover tunnels, which is commonly done today, its only when you get below a certain depth or have preexisting structures that you'd use a tunnel boring machine.

For rail those tend to be fairly reliable, though most rail alignments buy two or three so they can bore from both ends, and have a spare in case it pulls a Bertha (Seattle's recent highway tunneling nightmare).

What is different today is how impacts are considered. Politically savvy communities are able to cause perfectly good rights of way with existing rail to not be used for light rail or commuter rail. Happened over in Bellevue, much to the detriment of the city and its surrounding towns. Microsoft ain't too happy about that one!
There's a difference between institutional discrimination and casual discrimination. For a hidden system, it may only apply to a few scenarios, but if the information is widely available, everyone has the information with which to discriminate against you. Now that's a negative reinforcement spiral which has very few vectors of escape.

Edit: to make matters worse, if someone knows you're being discriminated against, and know you know that, they have a lot more power to abuse against you, because you're likely a lot more desperate to recover any score.

I used them in a college project, to get the other team members involved in the design of the software bit.

They're a bit like flowcharts, they tend to be at a level below what is commonly done as a collaborative exercise in practice. For something completely new and for a programmer with limited experience of OO design, they could still be useful.

Expression parsing without left recursion can be straightforward: https://github.com/darius/parson/blob/master/eg_calc.py

A left-associative operator means a Kleene star in the grammar, while a right-associative operator means right-recursion. I think the common view that it's left-recursive is just a weakness of the most common scheme for semantic actions. (I mean, yes, if you need to go through a parse tree first then the tree needs to be left-recursive -- but it seems simpler not to do that.)
A pistol grip is more comfortable and more stable to me, so, that is my evidence. I was actually thinking of the RC car controllers or power tools. Your hand is strong in that configuration vs a standard camera.

We seem to have fallen a long way as a society though that I can’t discount your worry that the police will kill you for taking photos with an odd shaped camera.

Specifically, though, I was talking about high end cameras. There are some high capability cameras in bodies that really make them unpleasant to use. The a7r in particular. Great results, but terrible ergonomics. And, there’s a reason people still use canon lenses on Sony cameras.

I agree on mobile phones though, my iphoneX is where I take almost all non critical photos. If only I had a flash sync I’d be in good shape.

Well, depends on where you work, and how willing you are to bike long distances, but on average probably more than that. That's why I acknolwedged it's a luxury not available to everyone. Choosing biking over transit adds a level of certainty to travel time that choosing walking over biking does not (as walking is only a little bit more certain than biking). It's the certainty that's really worth paying the extra for.

Don't underestimate the much bigger monthly savings of not owning a car, though. I moved from the suburbs in MD where having a car was essentially required to here, and that saved at least $600 per month. All told I haven't found it much more expensive to live in NYC; yes, rent is more, but transportation costs are way less.
