RS232 is 12V, but a couple of resistors would sort that out.

If you're a beginner I would actually recommend the Saleae Logic Analyser over this scope, unless your routinely dealing with analog or voltages over 5.5V, the Saleae is much more useful, has serial (and other) decoders built in as opposed to having to pay extra on the Rigol, has better capture and triggers plus as a bonus it doesnt have that noisy fan going all the time.

The testes are immunoprivileged. Transplanting testes would probably result in dead nubs of fibrous tissue after a couple years or severe immunosuppression requirements.

A CRDT Primer Part I: Defanging Order Theory
I especially enjoyed the story of Sonic's founding
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8eccqb/comment/dxu0km...

Relevant portion pasted below:

Regarding the founding, when Scott and I were at the Santa Rosa Junior College, he did a project in 1992 to provide dialup access to students, using this new OS called Linux. Linux had just gotten its first Ethernet interface driver support a week earlier (for the Western Digital 8003EP, a 10BASE2 thinnet card), it was very early, and under really active development - great for a student project. Active SRJC students could get dialup shell access for the semester and use Telnet, email, FTP, IRC, Gopher, etc.

Some months later we got a call from another college reporting that “one of your students is being rude on the Internet”, and would we please tell them to stop cussing at people on IRC. (Yes, the Internet was a kinder, gentler place back then.)

We looked up the student record and discovered a weakness in our signup scheme: the staff who ran the campus mainframe didn’t trust students like us with much access to records (think: WarGames style grade changes), so we allowed students to sign up with only a birthdate and SSN, and we asked the mainframe if that was a current student via a serial line, which squirted back a 0 or 1 (no or yes) to indicate enrollment status.

As things turned out, some student employees in registration had figured this out, and when an older student (Mildred) would sign up for aquatic aerobics at the local JC, the SSN and DOB was being put on a Post-It and sold to a student (Max) at the nearby high school. Max, as it turned out, liked to troll folks in IRC, leading to the discovery.

Asking around, we learned that the going rate for a stolen college login was $25, which led to a lightbulb moment: If people were stealing this thing, we could replicate what we’d built at the college and offer it commercially. Thus began Sonoma InterConnect (SON-IC, get it?).
yep and the problem with this is its a lot harder to move from 100k down to 50k a year than what people think.
That creates an interesting twist: since DNA test is legally acceptable as fatherhood proof the recipient could create a lot of trouble for the donor.

Public access laws like what California and Washington State have require the property owner to allow access to the beach. This means a property owner has to provide a reasonable right of way to access shoreline on their property. Anything less is illegal, up here in Seattle people get hauled to court (or worse if they refuse to allow access repeatedly).

Stealing a beach from the public domain is illegal, and Cali seems to have serious enforcement problems. No property owner has a right to steal public beaches

I'd assume that the donor in every case (as in this case) would be diseased, so I'm not certain how that could be an issue for the donor.
This has been an age-old promise, but I see two primary bottlenecks that keep surfacing.

First, non-IT experts don't understand the trade-offs involved in their decisions. They may make a barely "good-enough" decision to get started via trial-and-error, but it often doesn't take into account a lot of implications because they don't know what questions to ask themselves and others.

Second is that existing data is not very malleable. Once production data is created, it sets conventions in stone that are not easy to change. You cannot change your data structures and relationships without a lot of manual re-translation of the data itself. Therefore, early decisions make a big impact, bringing us back to the first bottleneck.

A better use of resources is perhaps to make IT professionals faster rather than try to make non-IT people into instant IT professionals.

In July and August it will often stay above 90F until midnight. There’s usually a few evenings in August where it will still be 100F at 2200.

The overnight lows in the upper 70s won’t be reached until dawn, and it will be back into the upper 80s before 10.

And the breeze is a hot wind, that feels like it makes it worse rather than helping.
Even if there was no preexisting easement, people should be allowed to get from point A to point B. This type of property ownership entitlement happens all the time with hikers and such. It is flat out evil behavior.
Cool idea! :)
So I'm very good at taking initiative and owning problems myself---I put a huge focus on learning in my own time, I love the challenge of a new unique problem or tool, I'll frequently come into work with a new idea of how we can make a product we're working on/our workflow/etc better in some way.

I don't know how to show this to interviewers in the very brief time I have with them during screenings/technical interviews in most cases. I do research into any tools they use before the interview and do my homework on the company and interviewers. Do you have any advice on how we show initiative to employers?
Like any business, financial firms have fixed costs. You can only reduce these costs so much, hence the large percentage on small transactions.
All of the pre-sale participants were BTC holders because that is the only currency the Foundation accepted for presale Eth.

The question is how many of those BTC holders there are and whether presales/ICOs usually follow that pattern. Most don't, they use all their powder in the beginning (there's no Indian summer surge of donations towards the end of the sale). Even when they do it is not as pronounced as here. That's what makes the curve weird.

I like the law that you proposed. I think likely the laws on how beaches are public need to be clarified. Why are they public only up to the high tide line? That seems difficult to enforce. Not very informed on this topic - but why isn't the whole natural sandy part public by default?

Seems like he doesn't want anyone on the beach and it's as simple as that.
Near as I can tell, the Howey precedent is for a type of asset so vastly different from a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin/ethereum that it is pretty much completely at the discretion of regulators as to whether they consider it to be a "security".

I know it would be nice to live in a world where judges can use an objective reading of the law/constitution to decide for certain in one way or another on such a fact, and that it would be nice to live in a world where lawyers like Preston could therefore make a reliable prediction from their expertise as to how courts will rule, but sadly in our world things don't work that way.

In an outlier situation like this, without strong precedents, regulators can make any decision they please and then create post-hoc rationales for defending their view.

(similarly, responses to this comment from either side will be easily able to make equally convincing absolutist arguments as to why bitcoin/ethereum are/aren't securities, given the vagueness in interpretation of precedents.)
1. Always assume it's loaded and the safety is off.

I'm not a fan of rich foreigners buying their way into citizenship, sure. But stealing from the public is illegal, no matter how good your lawyers are.

Khosla is an immigrant who has applied for and been granted citizenship, but generally for less well to do immigrants, we hold them to high standards if they wish to retain citizenship (even though that results in us creating stateless people). Why is Khosla special?
Spent some time on Martins beach in the past and it's beautiful. It's like a hidden little nugget compared to its much more popular big brother Half Moon Bay.

I was by there in early February and had planned to try and visit both, even if I had to jump the fence. But I was running late for a meetup later in the evening in SF and didn't make it.

I respect Khosla but if there was ever reason for risking a ticket for civil disobedience by visiting a public beach this is the place.

Modest for who?

Social Security: There are an absolutely insane number of people who didn't plan for self-sufficient retirement because they planned on social security checks. They shouldn't need it, but they do. Those people are a far larger problem and constitute the bulk of avoidable liability. The problem with SS is people who need it but shouldn't have, not the people who actually don't need it.

Military: Here's a truth that doesn't win elections: blind patriotism is the only palatable way to sell any absolutely enormous jobs program to the US public. A lot of these folks don't have the education or skills required to operate in a private sector unbuoyed by gov't spending. And to the extent that they do, they'd be entering newly saturated job markets with low barriers to entry.

Gas taxes: Carnage for the lots of folks who can't afford to true cost of driving but already sunk 30+% of their annual gross into a car as a 10+ year investment.

The policies you're suggesting -- at least, most of them -- would leave an enormous amount of human suffering in their wake.

Still justifiable policies / good ideas? Well, that's another discussion. But let's be realistic about the impacts.
You live in Texas and you dry your clothes using an electric dryer? Use a clothes line - they're solar powered.
I'm glad to see this policy. MCN's are a cancer on Youtube. I don't even have a remotely popular channel, and I've still been contacted multiple times by these folks when a small video starts getting legs. Its usually directly tied to reddit, where a few times I've shared a video I made in a specific small subreddit related to the content and it gets a small amount of upvotes. Its really ridiculous.

A good friend of mine has just randomly posted a few videos over the years that when "viral" in certain Reddit subs like /r/lego and he got deluged by emails from various MCN's.

Their entire business model is to find niche, sometimes entertaining videos through reddit and then artificially inflate the views to reap the advertising awards. And unless you're careful as the creator of the video, some of the dodgier ones demand you to sign over copyright to them.

I'm happy to see pirhanas like this be forced out. Its partly because of their shenanigans that Youtube is requiring partners to have at least a thousand subscribers before monetization kicks in now. I have 150ish and its not like that $2 a month was make or break, but there are other up and newcomers that probably liked getting that $20-$40 a month or whatever the amount is and it encouraged them to keep making interesting content.

I'm kind of hopeful that policies like this will help with this problem in the long run.

For those of you in the Philly area, they are doing a nice exhibit on Bernstein at the American Jewish Museum.
From the Court of Appeal opinion:

"Prior to appellants' purchase of the Martins Beach property, appellants were told by San Mateo County that '[t]here is existing parking [and] access to the beach at Martins Beach. This access [is] also memorialized [and] required to be preserved (no exceptions) by the Local Coastal Program' and 'the access is there & will have to remain.'"

Additionally the testes derive their blood supply from the testicular arteries that branch off the aorta all the way up in the abdomen. I would imagine that 'hooking them up' would be a much more complicated surgery since the vessels would have to be passed through the pelvis into the scrotum.
Perhaps it would be possible (ethical?) to set up a system to provide organs from post-operative female-to-male transgender patients to potential recipients.
You can compare this with Google Maps, since IIRC Google Maps also uses WebGL, and renders all of Manhattan with far more detail and without a snag.

Great post, it is difficult sometimes to remember that money and constant self-improvement are goals beaten into us that we sometimes mindlessly chase. I occasionally need to remind myself that every activity does not need to be moving me in the direction of some intangible goal, its ok to do something for no reason at all.
I guess "damage" is a judgement call I'm not really qualified to make. Someone could probably make the argument that humanity can't "damage" a natural system because we're part of nature.
When half the electrons disappear over a few thousand square kilometers, it's not inherently better or worse. It may annoy someone at Arecibo Observatory or a HAM radio operator or a GPS user, but maybe there's also some positive aspects of that temporary depletion.
I believe the sheriff's department has publicly stated that they will not ticket or arrest anyone caught using the easement to access the beach, even if they have to hop the fence or take similar measures. This situation seems ripe for some persistent civil disobedience.
I think the issue of wage stagnation, student debt, and all the issues that come with the wars and poor government management are felt across the nation by young people.

That said, I think the housing "crisis" is really specific to certain areas. In CA what we're seeing is that it's very hard to afford a home in certain areas.

It is highly relevant to this discussion. Vinod Khosla is an immigrant from India, which I believe skews his views on public property such that he believes it is his right to take said property for his own use with no repurcussions.
This is totally wrong: Since there was no "upper limit" on total cap of ether in the presale there was a significant incentive in waiting until the last minute to benefit from additional information (i.e. to know what percentage of ETH supply you were bidding on) and similarly to withhold bid info from competitors- This was partially offset by a gradual decline in ETH/USD exchange rate set by the presale terms.

It seems pretty clear that you haven't studied the mechanisms of these sorts of crypto auctions, since you are ignoring a lot of the underlying complexity and the many differences between different auctions in practice, or you have forgotten a lot of the intricacies of this particular auction. (which may have been a good or bad design in this case, both cases can be made.)

If you think it's common for actors in an auction system to "use all their powder in the beginning" unless there's a explicit reward for bidding late then you've clearly never been a victim of ebay bid sniping LOL
I suppose then there must be some litmus test of when someone has acted in their own best interest, and been to successful at it. I realize that's a super snarky way to put it, but it sounds like what is at the very Crux of this issue.

I think Google knows that this is the race for the new platform. It's what happened with Microsoft in PCs, and Apple in smart phones. If this market is similar to those aforementioned, once it is saturated there will be high brand loyalty and very few switch-overs. It takes a long time to win market share once people have adopted a platform. It's worth bleeding heavily right now to lock up market share well into the future.

My only sadness is that because of the nature of the tech involved, it seems like only a race between the big dawgs. Us small guys may be able to ride the wave with apps, similar to early mobile apps, but the proliferation of walled gardens and proprietary all-the-things will be unfortunate.
This sounds like a brace style argument. The worst thing is to have a strong opinion.

I'm proposing leaving the nominal Prop 13 discount alone for people that own modest homes. And making d*ckwads like Khosla pay full freight.

Simply individuals and businesses with real estate holdings over a $1M gets the nominal 2-3% property tax rate everyone outside of California enjoys.

Totally fair.

> Mixed case identifier names means that every usage of the identifier will need to be quoted in double quotes

I've used quite a few RDBMS engines, including most mentioned by the author, and I've never had to quote mixed-case identifier names. They work just the same as all lower-cased names or as any other case-sensitive language.

Most of the programming languages I use typically have the convention of using PascalCase for classes and public fields/properties so I prefer to use that convention for tables and columns (and then everything else for consistency). When doing operations between the application and the database, the name is exactly the same without the need for translation.

Otherwise, I think it's a good list.
