That's not the way it works.

The reality is that the apartment building goes up and you house is worth nothing unless the government allows an eminent domain for your property or a developer with the bucks to buy out the neighborhood shows up.

Until that happens, your house lost a third of its value because there's an apartment next door. If you're unlucky, rates go up and you're stuck.
I think deleting posts is different then deleting messages. If I'm having a conversation with you, and make some threat but then delete it. Does it stay in your thread? Get deleted from both threads? What if you screen shot it? If I delete a post, it no longer lives in either feed.
Could they use http instead, with random (generated) domains? And then encrypt the payload?

For extra credit encrypt the payload as html tags (i.e. build valid html where the tags correspond to the bytes in the payload.)

And I really want to see how many websites block EU traffic :)
> they don't wish to be a part of this dispute,

Right, because of the risk of being blocked.

It is their right, but to say it's not motivated by a risk of censorship is pretty disingenuous.

(I have no horse in this race. I'm merely contextualizing the debate)
It would be interesting to revisit a world where languages/compilers were built explicitly with common memory access semantics/out of order op/etc in mind.

One of the things that really excites me about Rust is that it's single mutable reference enforcement means you can run run `restrict` 100% of the time if you wanted which is a non-trivial performance boost. I think it's not enabled today but from previous discussions it sounds like that's just a matter of plumbing through the right things to LLVM.

Every time I've seen that rolled out in a C/C++ codebase someone invariably forgets about pointer aliasing and you spend a week tracking down some non-deterministic behavior.
I hope it is better than Facebook jobs. They are mostly $10/hr jobs.

No, the trick works the other way around; they pretend they want to talk to someone, but then talk to someone else. They never pretend to be someone else.
I wasn't looking forward to running cable for sensors (I need two reed switches per door, as the doors can stop half-open). The D1s are at the back of the garage, so maybe 8m of cable per switch and two doors = 30-ish metres of cable? (90 feet?)

Range finder seems like the best idea. I was thinking of mounting it on the door motor and pointing horizontally down the track at a reflector attached to the chain/handle.

I love the idea of putting a D1 in the car. Thanks for the link!
There are some key differences between Detroit and the Bay Area (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=San+Francisco-Oakland-F...):

1. Less room to spread out in the Bay Area. Detroit does not have many high-rises, and as far as I can tell, it has had a large number of single-family dwellings condemned/abandoned etc. during the recession. Also, Detroit is in a seismically stable zone.

2. Large number of incoming people who do not have a say in local politics in the Bay Area. To my knowledge, many of the incoming workers are here on visas, and they are largely apolitical, unable, or uninterested to cast a vote. Most of the busy workers do not have the time or the inclination to participate in local politics. I imagine this must not have been the case in Detroit, where unions were strong.

The other problem is that many Bay Area residents who bought their properties when interest rates were quite high (I had an older colleague who bought his house at 24% or so interest rate --- unimaginable nowadays), and the Federal Government had not embarked on a protracted QE, QE2 ... phase of pumping money into the economy, so to a certain extent, buying a house in the Bay Area has always been hard (not impossible, though, which it is now, for most people); as a result these existing homeowners (who ploughed a significant portion of their incomes into their homes) feel entitled to keep their insane property values that way.
At least in case of XMPP, the client doesn't need to be able to connect to other domains, so as long as you can connect to your own server outside of the censorship's reach (which could be accessible for c2s connections in a completely different way than for s2s), you should be fine.
That's good advice, but unfortunately I've come to realize this doesn't work. Simply because I don't have the mindset of the opposite sex; I'd care about things that only matter to me (and other guys), not things that a girl would find interesting.

Fix for TouchID mac login checkbox after MacOS update
For MacBook Pro users whose TouchID checkbox to unlock their mac no longer stays checked...

If deleting and restoring finger prints, rebooting, and rebooting with the key combo to wipe out the sensor cache all haven't worked for you, try this:

Try running "sudo bioutil -w -s -u 1" in terminal.

It will wipe out your existing fingerprints, and allow you to re-register, but now the "let me unlock my mac" button will stay checked.

Took me forever to find this. Hope it helps someone else.
The housing crisis is fundamentally a transportation problem. The bay area has intentionally made it impractical to own a car, so everyone is forced seek housing within walking distance of a limited number of public transit lines. The "war on sprawl" and lack of affordable housing are two sides of the same coin.

You've misunderstood how the trick works. Nobody is impersonating anybody.

To make an analogy, they're like a guy who tells the building security guard that they're going to apartment 5 (the Souq servers), but when they're in they actually go to apartment 8 (Signal's servers).

Except the censors can only see the conversation with the guard, but they can't see where he actually goes, so they can't distinguish him from a real Souq visitor.

I'm really disappointed by the downvotes that sithadmin, misterbowfinger, and I have been receiving in this thread.

Let me restate the argument, not in favor of cheating but why it's not the moral issue that everyone makes it out to be:

1. Cheating is only an issue in the artificial world of academia, where it goes against how the system is supposed to work.

2. We only think it is a moral issue because it's been drilled into us since we were kids, and that we think it is not fair to those who don't cheat and devalues the value of their degree.

3. The current system is stupid. Academic grades and degrees, to the extent that they affect your life after academia, should be based on what you can accomplish or explain, not how well you can write answers.

4. Employers should be using other methods to screen prospective employees -- looking at past projects, word of mouth, etc.

The sooner we can put to rest the notion that we should spend ages 6 through 22 in an artificial system that has no relation to the real world before we can enter the real world as functioning adults, the better.

Would they have to wait for the customer to likewise consent -- would their recording not be an implicit consent?

Even in the two-party states, I would be surprised to find a judge or prosecutor who would allow a claim against a customer recording a call that was also recorded by the company. Even if technically violating the letter of the law. But cases like these have surprised me before.

You're comparing SF in 2008 to Brooklyn in 2017. Click the source link, and you'll see that current estimate for the Mission (30,408/mi^2) is much closer to that of Brooklyn. The difference is only ~20%.

"In the end, algorithmic bias is a lot like climate change. It’s a massive, decentralized threat, it’s trivially easy for anyone to contribute to, and certain large companies have a lot to lose if we clamped down on it. But disaster awaits if we fail to address it soon, and conceptualizing bias, like doing climate science, is necessary but not sufficient."

The problem is capitalism itself. There's no way we are going to be able to solve this problem without some really big changes in thinking.
Good point. What if we switched it around to being 10% of anything you made in the previous 10 years. Renewal for in development would then be free. And then maybe put a limit on the number of free renewals. So either commercialize it or release it after some number of years.
Men and women are more similar than you think and telling yourself that you don't have the mindset of "the opposite sex" already sets yourself up for defeat.

It's however true though that men and women operate in very different social contexts and that can be hard to navigate. A lot of forming a relationship with anyone is becoming mutually comfortable enough to escape such contexts.

That is it? That just can not be the reason. Even if that were true it doesn't make the slightest sense to force this change overnight. Most phones doesn't even have USB-C.
Cheating can take from others.

Merit scholarships are given based on class rank. If the #11 student cheats to get to #10, then they took scholarship money that someone else actually earned. This is a very real problem in my school district.

Additionally, if you cheated to get good grades and got into a good university because of them, then you probably took the seat of someone that didn't cheat and was not accepted but would have been.

Also, (some?) universities internally rank high schools by the performance of the students they accept. So, if School A sends a bunch of 4.0 students that all flunk out, then future students from that school get their 4.0 weighted lower than a 4.0 from School B where students regularly graduate from the university with honors.

So, if you are cheating to get a good grade and you get into a good school (taking the seat of a student that didn't cheat) and then you get caught cheating, or just end up doing poorly because you were never that good of a student, then future students from your high school will be penalized because of the poor choices you made (and because the school was unwilling or unable to deal with those choices).

That's not how federation works, at least in XMPP. You only need to connect to one server that's out of censorships' reach to be able to communicate with everyone.
Agreed. The title made it sound like every application hosted from .app would be somehow vetted. Which would be... unconventional, but pretty interesting. Instead it's just another random foothold Google's found in its crusade against HTTP.

Not that I think HTTPS-everywhere is bad, I just think there are better ways to spend one's effort now that we have HTTPS-nearly-everywhere.
I'm sorry that I thought I'd introduce myself before talking about the stuff I've done. Usually gives more weight, and like another poster said, it's also a bit of an in-joke for those who've been to one of my talks or happen to know me in person.
My argument is "if everyone in the world is doing something immoral, it is still immoral for you to do it," which works equally well in consequentialism. The fact that your actions are statistically insignificant compared to the whole only means that the immorality/morality of your individual actions are small compared to the whole of humanity. That's a false comparison, I'm not aware of any ethical system that determines morality by comparing your impact against the totality of humanity. Maybe comparing your impact against the impact of the average person, but not the total. Under such a system only the Hitlers and Ghandis of the world would even register.

A large portion of those renters have rent control, so they are insulated from the crisis.
That's correct; the numbers don't lie.

The future of the Bay Area will be outsourcing lower waged jobs that also includes software engineers, QA staff, administrative, etc. to other areas of the state or country where cost of living is less expensive. It's already happening, just ask around.

Again, because the value turned around by SWE peeps etc. for tech companies has an actual cap. You can't pay a QA/SW engineer $500k/year just so they can afford live in the Bay Area. They'd have to be one hell of a QA/SW engineer if that was the case. I just don't think it's worth it for tech companies at some point.

After all that happens, the jobs left here will be primarily managerial; c-level execs, product managers, business analysts etc.

Those too, if the housing situation doesn't improve, will be outsourced to lower cost of living areas as well.

Again, it's inevitable given the numbers.

Much of the wealth being generated in this area is being sunk back into real estate. The high wages in tech in the Bay Area are high because they're subsidizing a corrupt housing market.

Eventually the only people left in the Bay Area will be executives and really high-paid lawyers.
A results-only education system would be preferable and would make some forms of cheating irrelevant. But it suffers from practical cost and scalability obstacles. We're already struggling to adequately fund public education. Are politicians willing to budget for additional teachers to evaluate student projects rather than relying on cheap and simple exams?

There are universal apps that route a call through a data center that records the call for you. Don't remember the names but they work on iOS as well as Android.
