"Defendants-Appellants [redacted] used fictitious names and addresses to open rewards accounts at OfficeMax, known as “MaxPerks” accounts. They used these accounts to fraudulently obtain more than $100,000 in OfficeMax products. The scheme came to light when Steven Gardner, an OfficeMax fraud investigator, noticed an unusually high number of online-adjustments across several different accounts. Gardner observed that most of the accounts were registered to one of three email addresses, differing only with interspersed periods between the characters of each address. OfficeMax recognized the variations as unique email addresses, but gmail did not. Defendants then used these fraudulent email addresses to claim purchases by other customers, thus generating rewards to which they were not entitled. They also used various accounts to sell more than 27,000 used ink cartridges, receiving $3 in rewards from OfficeMax for each after paying an average of $.32 per cartridge on eBay. In total, over the 21 months of their scheme, Defendants redeemed $105,191 in OfficeMax rewards. Defendants were ultimately were convicted by a jury of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud relating to a scheme to defraud OfficeMax. They appealed, challenging the district court’s decision to: (1) admit exhibits derived from computer records and (2) enter a money judgment forfeiture. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeal upheld the district court’s admission of the exhibits but remanded so the district court may conduct further proceedings on the money judgment of forfeiture."

There might be a correlation, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule. I've been told that my prose -- and poetry -- is good, and I definitely don't subvocalize.
Actually it's more common than you think. I've lived in Russia, Germany and France, each with varying levels of proficiency in English. Many people know basic English but not much more. If you're not a tourist then it's more likely than not that someone you meet has a low level of English.

Did you mean "tread lightly"?
Calling attention to political disagreement is fine. Using language if hatred is not. I presume, as a Christian, you would rather people learn to forgive and reconcile instead of judge and condemn.

The concern of Christians is that the goal here isn't to get Chic-Fil-A to change its behavior or speech but to brand it and people in its tribe as an Enemy and as evil.

It's mainstream Christianity to consider extramarital sex as sinful. Is that hatred? No. Does it make people defensive? Sure. How do we resolve that tension? Well, hating Christians and ostracising them won't solve the problem. Unless the problem is that there are too many "out" Christians.
Well, you would have won. I was thinking of this:

but I just noticed that you actually specified your ints to be unsigned. So I would have lost. (And I would have paid.)
Can you explain the ink cartridge thing further? I'm not from the US so this seems ridiculous.
I have an equities strategy that I run on IB. I think it is possible to generate alpha with a small account if you do it right e.g. don't compete with big funds in HFT.

There's a cool article about this by Robert Carver who used to be a portfolio manager at one of the top quant funds.

When talking vehicle categories, a truck is not a car.
Is that this:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pwl-vwy-nQelwZ2iGguv...
That's a truck, not a "car" as defined in OP
For HFT, it's not that every second counts, is that every millisecond (or even lower) counts. You're competing with other, similar algorithms for picking up opportunities. The assumption is that you're not capital constrained, you (or the competitors) can immediately exploit all the volume of such an opportunity, the deals you submit shift the prices so that it disappears.

This means that whoever is not the first to take that opportunity doesn't get it, and if you're reliably a millisecond slower than a competitor then you might as well not even try.
What is storage model compared to timescaledb [0]

My grandma's (British) cookbooks have pounds and ounces [1]. My mother's have grams, and ounces in brackets.

Mine only have grams.

There's little reason to convert a recipe in any case, assuming you won't forget how to use "English" units.

[1] Different sizes to yours, naturally. At least the fluid ones.
Sounds like a rare intelligent move from the legacy car industry.
Ask HN: Software Recommendation for public facing wiki site
I would like to make a crowd sourced website where people can edit MVP, Tools, Organization structure, commentary on marketing of new startups. For this, I need a good hackable wiki site that is easily extendable (so I can potentially put ads on). Any recommendations will be appreciated. Mediawiki is good but not beautiful for my taste. Opensource would be great.
I hope it's immutable!
Am I right that services like tutanota & protonmail don't support email migration? That's an extreme regression from standard email. Doesn't it make them largely useless except for burner account use?
Solid feedback.

Killcord is designed to let the public know that a killcord project exists, where to find the encrypted payload, and how to check the status of the killcord project.

Unpublished secrets are currently stored on the owner and publisher project folders in clear text on a config file. This isn't meant to replace an HSM or secret manager, by any means. Though I've got some ideas on how to incorporate systems like Vault, Chamber, or other secret stores in the future.

It is also, indeed, early alpha and dealing with secret management for the owner and publisher are absolutely top of mind.
> You can't move away from Russia as a country.

Russia pretty much caused Georgia and Ukraine to do it, thanks to the absurd aggression of the Russian mafia government. So surely you can, if there is enough will for it. First major step should be reducing economic dependency.
We haven't looked too far into integrations with any existing systems at this point, but if there was significant user demand for it on both ends we'd definitely be open to it.

One thing I will mention here is that we do have plans to add support for persistent streams [0] after version 1.0.0 is released. We've learned a lot over the years about how our users/customers interact with streams in production and persistent streams will be built atop that foundation of understanding.

Please feel free to comment on that issue with your use case, requirements, etc. and we'll see what we can do!

I wouldn't say located in one region I mean sure Quebec has a lot of French speakers now but so do other regions in Canada. Look at Ontario, NB (majority there too?), even NS and PEI, plus don't forget Metis in the prairies.

Hell a story on D'Arcy McGee a few days ago mentioned the majority of the population of Montreal was Irish in the late 1800s.

Maybe more accurate is the majority of French speakers are concentrated in southern Quebec?
Tack. Works here in Tyskland.
Your statement is poorly thought out on several fronts.

Firstly putting a bullet in the head of anyone with non trivial cancer would probably be a financial savings for the insurer but the real equation is the human/societal benefit of treatment vs costs to best make use of a finite resource.

A simple cost of treatment analysis even misses out on the income that a person would have earned had they not died and the money that could have been paid in taxes and used to fund more treatment.

Drilling down into just the cost of treatment your statement isn't even wrong its a category error like saying that adding 2 integers always yields a number greater than 42.

For any given test and set of circumstances under which it is administered there can be a cost benefit analysis.

Example if you spend a thousand dollars on each false positive result and save 10k for each and have a 1% false positive rate and test a million people with a 1 in a million true positive rate. You will find one true positive saving 10k unfortunately you will also find 10k false positives and waste 10 million dollars.

In actuality you wouldn't do this you would test people whose symptoms or circumstances suggest they are likely to have it.

It seems fantastic to suggest that preventative medicine is always financially negative when people who actually study health care say otherwise.
That doesn't seem to be the issue:

> Helen Anderson, provincial lead for systemic therapy for the BC Cancer Agency, said that Ibrance is currently under active review for coverage in B.C.
Thanks for coming clean.
Healthcare isn't a right. But as a wealthy society we have a moral obligation to provide essential healthcare to everyone at a price they can afford.
I would say these are the solutions people are producing right now and the problems they are solving are still unknown.
I've been actively researching use cases and properties of cryptocurrencies (more than 15 minutes) and have come to the opposite conclusion: none of the hype is based in fact. For instance, let's go through your claims one by one.

> Decentralization,

There is surmounting evidence that this is not true and that Bitcoin and Ethereum are actually quite centralized and would benefit from being more centralized [0][1][2][3][4].

> immutability,

I'm not sure if you've heard of theDAO fork [5], but basically transactions on Ethereum are not final. They can be reversed if a select group of powerful individuals decide to do so. Maybe it's "immutable" in the sense that the history can't be changed, but it's not "immutable" in the sense that the history can't be reverted arbitrarily by someone other than yourself.

> protocols monetized with market forces,

What do you mean by this? Older protocols like TCP weren't made operational for free, they were funded by many institutions, both public and private. Are you sure this is something new?

> fee-less payments that cannot be prevented

Cryptocurrencies aren't fee-less. There are transaction fees, exchange fees and volatility/liquidity risk. If you're in the US and want to send money (real money) to your friend in Japan, you must buy crypto (exchange fee), send it (transaction fee), and sell it (exchange fee and volatility or liquidity risk).

Finally, as you've seen with theDAO fork, crypto payments can be reversed, which prevents the transaction from being final. I'd love to see any research on how crypto payments can't be censored, though, if you have any.

This is very disappointing. I really love the Fusion hybrid (close to 50 MPG on mine, very smooth ride and good low-end off-the-line torque due to the electric).

I was really hoping they would do a plug-in version that got more than 21 miles on a charge in the next 10 years (when I'll be due for another car).
> People seem to think "one a felon, always a felon"

I'm not sure that's what is really going on, regardless of what people say. People have no problem doing business with known frauds, criminals and bad actors, from the CEO who cheated their co-founder to Wall Street banks to many, many more. Will nobody do business with Travis Kalanick again? The banks who sold the shady mortgage-backed securities that caused the Great Recession? There was a story the other day about prominent scientists who committed massive fraud and hardly suffered dents in their careers. Pete Carroll committed many violations of NCAA rules and ethics when coaching U. of Southern Cal football; he became a professional football coach and nobody talks about not trusting him; it seems to have had no impact on his reputation. Another example is the Catholic Church's systematic sexual abuse of children on a global scale; did everyone stop going to Catholic churches? Stop doing all business with them? I could go on forever.

It's hard to put my finger on the formula, but it seems to have something to do with being on the inside, 'one of ours' or the old boy network, compared with being an outsider.

(To avoid any doubt, I think the exclusion of former felons from employment is wrong. Once they've served their time, it's done. Employers shouldn't be allowed to ask with only a few exceptions (e.g., former bank robbers shouldn't be bank security guards).)
In common parlance it is. When I google 'cars for sale', trucks and SUVs come up.
When you upgrade to a new major release of Debian, you should take a look at the release notes. The mysql->mariadb migration has its own chapter: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/c...

I guess the fact that mariadb now owns the "mysql-server" package name is a side-effect of how apt manages upgrades and migrations. It's probably the best way to ensure existing users end up with a supported mysql-ish server after the upgrade, instead of being silently stranded on an obsolete debian8 package without receiving security updates.
Yes. And while "ancestors" is technically correct, I'm honoring my Neanderthal ancestors by calling them great^N grandparents. In other places, they had different names, but they were closely related.
Join them. Let everyone know how new things work so we can work together to defeat it.
Support conservation orgs. The best ones are not just focused on nature but on sustainable systems that include humans.
Sure. Because mass censorship tools designed to identify categories of undesirables has to many positive applications.

> Good engineers will want to work on this problem

So? A lot of "good engineers" are horrible people from an ethical perspective. Just like any other category of humanity.
This is a valid concern and why I'd encourage running multiple instance (geographically distributed) of the publisher.
Sure

Last one can be done as policy on FORWARDING chain (ie. -P instead of -A), but in this way it is more explicit.

While the list of foods containing fodmaps has changed a lot lately, there are several sources that are up to date. University of Michigan has a lot of reliable resources.

The system is described in full here:
http://www.myginutrition.com/diet.html (U of M)

They also have a pinterest that has tons of ideas and specific brands they've tested... Which is here:
https://www.pinterest.com/UMGIdietitians/

Full list of foods here:
http://www.myginutrition.com/downloads/Low_FODMAP_foods.pdf

The warning my dietitian has given me, is that many of the websites out there are using out of date information pertaining to foods; and that I should only trust their lists.
Renters do vote (I'm a renter, rent a house in Oakland, before that rented a place in San Francisco for 13 years). Buuuuuuuuuuut, that place was rent controlled. So it didn't seem like an issue to me. SB827 would have made my Bart commute worse but it seemed like the right thing to do.
Personally, I would not sell access to my data.

Re friends opting out, no, you would just need the system to exclude individuals who have the opt-out attribute from the graph search. But I do also have timeline review turned on and have for years.

I get that I am probably a minority user of Facebook, in that I have very customized security and privacy settings. To me, there has always been value in choosing with whom to share certain information. It isn't a global binary function.
Being from the US doesn’t help it make any more sense.

Corporations can use the US government as bill collectors, when they’d lose in civil court.

The joke is that any prosecutor worth her salt can indict a ham sandwich. The sad fact is convicting a ham sandwich is almost as easy.
> The only reason most devs are tied to OSX is because of tooling. Mainly brew.

It's not brew. Linux package managers are much better than brew, IMO. It's the fact that everything works out of the box and great build quality which makes devs use OSX.
The Obama era fleet efficiency standards don't bode well when looking at big heavy trucks. If they could put their efforts primarily behind one car, they could come out ahead on profitability.

Doing so would greatly reduce the supply chain complexity, part variety (though shared parts across models has gotten much better in the last decade), inventory costs, etc. This would help service shops, suppliers, and their logistics.

It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Disclosure: I work for a Tier 1 supplier.
Rip Fiesta, and Focus ST. Yeah the Fiesta was already on the ax, but the Focus ST wasn't as much of a loser on the books.
yep. this falls in line with my design thinking on this.
It gets people to get more oil changes and thus avoids the insurer having to pay for more expensive matters.

More importantly it leads to less people dying of preventable matters. What you seem to be implying is that its a net negative to which I say citation needed.
At first glance, that filing is indeed from this case.
Ford caters more to the business market who are buying these vehicles due to their usage in heavy duty hauling. The fact that they are focusing on trucks/SUVs doesn't have to exclude moving to electric vehicles in the future. It's the same as any company focusing on enterprise customers rather than consumers.
I think it's well past that point. Now that there's serious wealth tied up in these projects and people have become millionaires and even billionaires on an unproven technology the general tech community is not going to give it the benefit of the doubt. This isn't just some experiment between crypto-nerds anymore. It's big business. It must stand up to the scrutiny now, and those that support it and have invested heavily in it should want that too.

I'm a bit ambivalent, there's clearly a lot of scams and way too high valuation. But something useful will likely come out of it all. And that something will likely be what can stand up against the backlash.
The storage engine for PipelineDB is PostgreSQL and the output of continuous SQL queries (continuous views in PipelineDB) is stored in what are essentially incrementally updated, realtime tables. You can think of PipelineDB as very high throughput, incrementally updated materialized views, also.

Insurance contracts with providers prohibit balance billing to patients. The provider can only bill a contractual maximum amount for each procedure. This helps to control costs and prevents patients from getting hit by unexpected charges.
There isn't lower crime in the EU. The EU has between a higher rate or a similar rate of violent crime and crime in general vs the US (varying depending on which country you're talking about). The US rate of crime compares well to most developed nations. [1] The US has a far higher murder rate thanks to its policies on gun regulation.

There is not less absurd politics in the EU. It's every bit as crazy over there right now. See: Italy, Hungary, the extreme right in the Netherlands, Greece, Poland, Denmark's recent policies on immigrant ghettos, and on and on.

The EU includes a lot of mid-tier countries. Poor people in the US get free healthcare and average welfare benefits that are far higher than the median incomes of all the mid-tier nations in the EU. The OECD better life index has persistently indicated that the US poor live better than the poor in any other nations except for half a dozen or so (such as Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland). In the US it's primarily the 20% group above the poorest 20%, that do the worst compared to other developed nations - they often make too much money to qualify for free healthcare, their income potential is weak, their education opportunities are weak, they suffer much higher rates of bankruptcy, and they often don't qualify fully for traditional assistance programs (housing or food).

"One can be a lover of Space and its possibilities: take, for example, speed, the smoothness and sword-swish of speed; the aquiline glory of ruling velocity; the joy cry of the curve; and one can be an amateur of Time, an epicure of duration. I delight sensually in Time, in its stuff and spread, in the fall of its folds, in the very impalpability of its grayish gauze, in the coolness of its continuum. I wish to do something about it; to indulge in a simulacrum of possession. I am aware that all who have tried to reach the charmed castle have got lost in obscurity or have bogged down in Space."
It seems like there are a few issues here:

(1) Has he experienced an appropriate amount of retributive / vengeful justice for his crime?

(2) Given his current state, what are the chances of additional, problematic offenses in the future?

IMO the prison time probably satisfied (1). So the real question is, how can prospective employers decide about (2) at this point?
That's a bit of a false equivalency. That's like saying why not drop out of college? Bill Gates did and he turned out fine.

Those positions are not a dime-a-dozen. For the regular working person, being a felon is a very heavy weight to carry and it immediately discredits or otherwise disqualifies many people, where they rarely have a chance to even have their story heard.
"Car" is the natural and correct word to use in the sentence, I don't find it clickbaity.
> That's a bargain in this market.

When this market changes, some of these companies might suffer more than the others. What is going to happen to advertising budgets (practically their only source of revenue) in the next recession? Facebook also faces higher regulatory and reputational risk (in the US and elsewhere) that most of those companies. But of course compared to Netflix it looks incredibly undervalued!

Edit: to be clear, I agree that Facebook's valuation is more reasonable than it used to be and more reasonable than other "similar" companies (but not without its own risks). By the way, it will be interesting to see how the sentiment around different sectors changes in September when a number of companies currently in IT and Discretionary/Media will be reclassified into the Communications sector.
Surely it is incorrect to drop them, but the result is still intelligible. Same for the "hacek" and accent (carka) in Czech for example.

In Italian, however, accents are only on the last letter of a word so they are usually replaced with apostrophes if your keyboard lacks them (in fact even on an Italian keyboard È is usually typed as E'; most word processors autocorrect it).
This is left up to the killcord project owner to set the publisher threshold. If the project owner is concerned about congestion the owner should increase the time allotted to the threshold.
