The tenth amendment obviously did add nothing substantive to the Constitution. The Constitution explicitly enumerates the things the various branches of government can do. Explicitly stating that they can't do other things is no more necessary than an explicit inclusion of "No cheating" in the rules of a game.

The commerce clause thing is a separate issue. Wickard v. Filburn had nothing to do with the tenth amendment, as it is based on a (particularly broad) interpretation of one of those enumerated powers.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, you should hire a lawyer if you are somehow in a situation where this is directly relevant to you.
GitHub Pages custom domains HTTPS implementation review
They're not pretending to be Amazon, but they are making their client pretend to talk to an Amazon host, and use the SSL keys of an Amazon-owned host rather than their own.

It's more like this:

Clear text request: "Hello, I would like to speak TLS with host souq.com and encrypt my connection with a key signed by souq.com"

Clear text response: "Why yes, let us do that with these parameters"

Encrypted request: "Actually I meant host signal.org, but please route my request anyway since both hosts are being routed by this service. Please ignore the fact that my symmetric key for this connection was encrypted and transmitted using the keypair of souq.com."

This is similar to buying a train ticket to a nearby stop, using it to get on the train, then getting off at a different stop because you know they won't check your ticket again.

Google and Amazon are now adding an additional ticket check.
Appalling. Anyone planning on buying Microsoft products or stick will hopefully pause and consider this case beforehand. Gsuite works nicely as an office replacement.

After reading the linked Wikipedia page, if it's accurate then you seem to be correct. The act prohibits influencing foreign officials by giving them things of value, and doesn't mention whether that would be illegal in the foreign country. So it would seem that a U.S. corporation would be in violation of this law for doing in a foreign land what they routinely do within the U.S. (essentially all large U.S. businesses make, or aggregate, "campaign contributions" with the intent to influence lawmakers and other elected officials).

We make software for call centre operators to transcribe calls, and then do various kinds of analysis on the call text; another stream helps offload voice to chat. We also have various medical and architectural computer vision products, and some software engineering support products.

We are a well-funded startup with a long runway to support our current 30+ staff. We're making large $$$$ sales into enterprises most weeks. We have mature management (two ex-googlers are on the management team, including the former Australian general manager; the rest of the executive team have held senior roles across the banks, successful startups and a variety of other major corporations). You get the stability and mature culture of a large corporate job, but the interesting work and dynamic environment of a startup.

Commercial fraud:
> The theory of contract espoused here demonstrates that fraud is properly viewed as a type of theft. Suppose Karen buys a bucket of apples from Ethan for $20. Ethan represents the things in the bucket as being apples, in fact, as apples of a certain nature, that is, as being fit for their normal purpose of being eaten. Karen conditions the transfer of title to her $20 on Ethan's not knowingly engaging in 'fraudulent' activities, like pawning off rotten apples. If the apples are indeed rotten and Ethan knows this, then he knows that he does not receive ownership of or permission to use the $20, because the condition 'no fraud' is not satisfied. He is knowingly in possession of Karen's $20 without her consent, and is, therefore, a thief.

There is no equivalent of harm done to property or person with plagiarism in an academic setting.

> Finally, it is curious that the first thing that occurs to people on first hearing the anti-IP case is plagiarism: “You mean it would be okay for someone to take an author’s work, put his own name on it, and sell it?”

> Two issues are conflated here. One can plagiarize without violating a copyright, and one can violate a copyright without plagiarizing. Under copyright law you may use brief verbatim excerpts of another’s written work without permission as long as you use quotation marks and attribute the text to the author. It’s called “fair use.” (Question for copyright fans: Isn’t even fair use a violation of an author’s rights?) If you were to use an excerpt that otherwise would qualify under the fair-use principle but without attribution, you would be guilty of plagiarism but not copyright violation. The same would be true if you quote Shakespeare without attribution. (Shakespeare wrote without benefit of copyright.)

> On the other hand, if you publish Atlas Shrugged with Ayn Rand’s name on it, you would be guilty of copyright violation but not plagiarism.

> For the sake of clear thinking, let’s keep these issues separate.

> Well, is plagiarism okay? No, it’s not! Obviously it is dishonest and dishonorable to represent someone else’s work as one’s own. But note, according to LegalZoom, “plagiarism is not a criminal or civil offense.” Nor should it be. It’s a breach of good conduct, and there is a plentitude of nonviolent, non-State ways to deal with it, especially in the Internet age.

Look, I get it's a bad in a practical sense if someone cheats or plagiarizes, especially to the cheater. It could even be a breach of contract between the student and the school. But it's not a crime against another person. It's a "victimless crime" essentially.

If someone falsifies licensing or safety requirements, like with an airplane or a building, that's a legal matter. Call that "professional fraud" -- it's illegal. But there is no law against cheating in school.
Yikes, those are some dirty fiber terminations! I wonder what's in there that needs single-mode fiber.
Sounds like a great place for a party.
Most businesses focus on the business mission and suppress distractions from that mission. Debates about ethics, politics and public policy are seen as unwelcome distractions.

But Google is a different kind of company. Google was founded on a set of ethical and moral principles that go beyond the immediate business mission. As described in the IPO founders' letter [0], their objective is to do "good things for the world even if we forgo short-term gains".

You may be skeptical about this and see it as either
naïveté or as a cynical ploy, but the drive to do the right thing independent from financial results is deeply ingrained in Google's culture.

So it should be no surprise that there's constant and vigorous debate at Google about what's right and wrong. Seems to be working pretty well for them [1].

I think Rust does need to aim for strong mainstream acceptance. As I'm sure you've experienced, lower level programming, in contrast to web development, is a (justifiably) conservative field with regard to choice of tools. For example, "I write ANSI C because ANSI C is the standard" is an attitude I frequently encounter. ("I write ANSI C because everything has a compiler for ANSI C and it never changes" is probably what a lot of them are getting at.) Things like breaking changes, however minor, and "just use nightly" are anathema to this crowd. Yet this is the domain that could arguably benefit from Rust the most. I think Rust needs a strong foothold somewhere to prove its maturity before it can attack the C/C++ "heartland".

>What makes you think that the languages which Rust displaces aren't also niche?

Any definition of "niche" that includes C or C++ is meaningless.
Very well thought out timing, indeed. They’re cynically using sex to reel younger users, and those grossed out by the Cambridge Analytica news, back into their network.

These are real-world situations with real consequences on people's time, money, and lives. Honesty and ethics matter here. That's what licensing requirements are for. That's different from the academic system where you only use 10% of what you learn, once you go into the real world.
The price on the LRB cards is bonkers. Was there every a plan to bring the price down to the consumer PC market? I'm also curious why Pharr thought programming LRB via intrinsics was limited to so few, from my understanding it really isn't much different than any other intrinsic programming. I also didn't realize it is Pharr from "Physically Based Rendering" fame. Very cool!

Again: you can’t just compare rent values without adjusting for income. Japanese people aren’t earning San Francisco salaries.

The number you want there is the the one that says Tokyo is 10% cheaper than NYC. That’s the adjusted number.

Say what you will about rent, but “10% cheaper than New York” is nobody’s definition of cheap.
And then Facebook will buy it and change it.
Yes, technically. But GoDaddy's GTLD (.godaddy) isn't available for public use, so your point is moot.
Sadly there is no way to issue an FOIA request to a private company. Possibly only route would be, clear data, notice contain tracking, due for disclosure. Probably the best route for moving forward.

For the record, Deripaska is no friend of Putin, who forced him to start paying tax and stay out of politics.

Of course, of the 4,000 new residents, only 12% voted. The postage requirement was still required, and nearly all the new residents didn't bother to send in their ballots.

And half of those got confused and voted to increase the "affordable housing" requirement to 50% of new housing stock, making non-Skylynr housing prohibitively expensive to build, and requiring citizen approval (by referendum) of all new developments in the Historic Market Street Corridor, including all areas east of Golden Gate Park.
What is with this title ? It's a result of two CVEs.
If you can find another company Google's size with a similar cultural drive to be a force for good in the world, you'll probably find their employees also have vigorous debates about what's right and wrong.
I posted on the signal community forums in significantly more detail (e.g. how to configure nginx exactly with test connections), but it's relatively easy to use AWS infrastructure only for pass through and configure nginx to accept specific public SNI headers while connecting to domains you are authoritative for (e.g. google.com, amazon.com, yahoo.com, yandex.ru). You can do this by using the ssl_preread nginx module to proxy based on the SNI header (e.g. amazon.com -> 127.0.0.1:444, google.com -> 127.0.0.1:445, yahoo.com -> 127.0.0.1:446). This effectively means that you are not having AWS or GAE do anything other than directly proxy encrypted content, which I would argue is an important distinction.

The downside is that no one is providing the DNS redirect in an encrypted transaction.
You can’t cheat without rules; all rules are socially constructed. Does that make them artificial as opposed to inherent?

I don't. I usually scroll/resize the window so I don't see them. I honestly don't care if they are tracking me one way or the other. If you know what the government already does, we're already screwed so its more of a statement than useful to ad block.

>Shocked that YouTube or any stock traded company would allow these videos to stay up. Morally this is wrong since cheating hurts everyone in education.

It used to be the prevailing wisdom in corporate America that discussions about religion and politics have no place in the office. It can only lead to conflict and furthermore, WTF does it have to do with the task at hand? I mean, pretty obvious stuff, right? But somewhere along the way the inmates started running the asylum, so to speak, and political discourse and activism became an integral part of the work place (although I’d argue this is more of a Bay Area/startup phenomenon, you obviously see very little of this in stuffy corporate gigs). Who knows the exact underlying reason for this, but it is what it is.

My understanding from the Damore case is that Google has internal message boards that discuss all sorts of political topics and things predictably get quite heated and has lead to people being blacklisted and fired. Nasty stuff, other companies should pay attention to what’s happening at Google.
