I just have a Thunderbolt 3 hub and it connects everything I need to a single port. Its actually much more convenient than before.
Wait, so a USB-C cable cannot be a completely passive component?
Heard. However, it should be up to the individual to decide how (and if) they want to broadcast their behavior.

To borrow your analogy - even if most people become comfortable with open-door-dumps, why should we force someone who isn't to do it?
It appears that Intel wanted to trump AMD.
...and also wanted to Trump AMD.
No, I'm suggesting that cities pay for infrastructure to reduce the negative externalities imposed by dockless scooter companies. If such infrastructure incidentally makes it easier for those companies to make a profit, because the lack of the negative externalities is no longer producing a negative effect on the company's reputation, is that really so horrible? Are you willing to, through inaction, harm society just so a private company won't profit?

Sure, ideally, the scooter company should pay some kind of tax or fee to help pay for the infrastructure, but I'm not convinced that it needs to be a special tax or fee, applied only to the scooter companies, beyond typical general corporate income taxes etc. that the scooter company is already paying. Particularly because the infrastructure costs involved are cheap. In my opinion, society is better served by government moving quickly to provide needed services out of a general fund, than it is by delaying action for months or years just so that expenditures are 100% just instead of 99.9999% just. There is a balance...
Why can't it infect (the microcontroller on) the battery, and then infect your device later?

I'm pretty sure all the credit cards I've had had cash advance at a higher APR and it started accruing immediately, instead of in 30 days. It really only makes sense to use it in an emergency and if you don't have your bank card to use instead.
An Overview of the Distributed Computing Landscape
Barring short 1-2 generational periods, increased personal and political freedom causes greater economic outcomes by country. Consolidating power generally stagnates an economy, and when it doesn't because of good leaders allowing selective personal freedom, that is an unstable state - leaders change.

The point is the trait hasn’t been lost at all. If people with this problem had a kid and fed them hard foods from the get go then, supposedly, they would grow the larger jaw and not have the problem with cramped teeth.
Derp, I was thinking it was some kind of conversion rate / SEO term. That's what I get for posting a comment with two separate points in it I suppose.
Just to be evenhanded here, I suspect that in most criminal cases the jurors are likely NOT in the same social class as the defendant.

That said, having jurors be people you know seems a little unfair too. So a jury of perfect strangers seems greatly unfair in the postulated context of asymmetric privacy, and a jury of friends seems unfair as it's possible they would let you off regardless of evidence.

Problem is, asymmetric privacy is a reality today. So, yeah, tough problem.
If I'm starting my own project, then I can pick the language that I think gives me a better shot at security and correctness. If Rust is better than C++ at that, and if that's my criterion for picking a language, then knowing Rust opens new doors for me.

If someone hires me to work on a project, in the current state of affairs, they're much more likely to have picked C++ than Rust, and I don't get the choice (other than choosing whether to take the job). Rust doesn't (yet) open that many doors for me as an employee.
Right, there are similar issues with porn and gambling -- people scream bloody murder about "don't judge me for that" but it's mainly an issue of the extra expenses from customers who swear up and down that "no, not me, I didn't buy that, please reverse the charges" and the processor having to investigate.

Yeah I imagine it’s much easier for animals to recognize individuals of their own species than individuals of another. e.g. Humans have specialized brain circuitry for recognizing human faces, but all horse or bird faces basically look the same to us. A bird might easily think all humans look basically the same but obviously each bird is totally different.
There are good people and bad people.

Sometimes bad people do bad things. Like they bring bad stuff across the border, or bring people across the border and do bad things to those people. We want to punish the bad people for doing bad things that we don't like.

There are also good people. Good people don't do bad things, they do good things. They do farming and build things, and make things better for other people. They work very hard at these good things. They can get paid for the good things they do, and that's good for them too.

The good people outnumber the bad people by a lot. That's what's good about humanity.

Sometimes the good people are in the same place as the bad people and want to get away. Other times the good people are in a place where they can't do the good things that they want to do.

It would take a long time to move if they didn't do something a little bad in order to get the place where they need to be to do good things. In a lot of cases it wouldn't even be possible to move. So they do the thing that is a little bad, but when we find out we punish them like they are very bad people doing very bad things. We take away their kids, take their things, put them in very bad jails, and then send them back to where they were.

They are afraid of being caught. This makes it easy for bad people to hurt them. Bad people can take their money, or do bad stuff to them by threatening to tell on them. They also can't go to anyone for help if they get hurt or sick because of the bad thing they did. This means that these people suffer a lot more than we do. (Suffering is when you hurt for a long time). Being afraid also makes them not get as much when they do good things for other people.

Some people think that because they did a bad thing, they should be punished more and that we aren't mean enough to them for the bad thing they did. Other people think that the bad thing wasn't bad at all, and that it was good, and that we are being too mean.

There are also people who think that the good people are bad people and that we should build a big huge wall, and that a big huge wall will keep everyone out except for people who we let in specifically. Some people think that a big huge wall would not be helpful and too hard to build.

Cash advance higher APR is to mitigate the extra risk of people using debt to pay for debt and the increased risk of default. The bank isn't losing money on the cashback feature of a credit card. They are splitting the interchange with the customer. The vendor/merchant is the one paying 2.4% of the transaction.
This is not new. Huey Long is an excellent example, as is the fact that we have a word for it that is thousands of years old: demagogue.

Meanwhile, the people in those states suffer. How is that better for the people of this country?

Without getting too deep down the rabbit hole of representation and balance of power in many states, Federal regulation generally exists to protect people in States that refuse to make the "right" choice, as you put it. Removing Federal regulation isn't a net-good by default — in this case the regulation served a legitimate purpose to protect consumers and should have been left alone.
I’m a big fan of code generation. I can usually adapt to new formats or concepts without too much issue. I feel that while it’s not difficult to build up strings dynamically, the harder part can be overwriting and verifying values, and working with logic. That’s my main issue with YAML over JSON. How would you recommend working in this area with this format, or benefits over JSON?
If I read that correctly, that gives them the right to apply for asylum. It doesn't obligate us to grant it.

It's trade-offs. The pins are very durable, it's hard to push the connector in at an angle that'd wreck them, but that tongue can get bent by forcing it.

Off-topic, but I find churning at least as ethical as banks promoting the accumulation of debt with paltry benefits/kickback to consumers for earning Visa/MC money with transaction fees.

I considered many of these alternatives (I am a Google fanboy but wanted to host a few things myself, notably Seafile) but never found any alternative to Docs and their multiuser concurrent edition capabilities. I think this is a know-how particularly difficult to reproduce.
The Santana Row planned community in San Jose, CA has been around since 2002 and seems successful so far. They have a walkable core area with retail and restaurants, apartments above and behind, and parking garages underneath and at the edge.

The developers tore down the existing structures and built from scratch. They didn't build around an existing mall (although there is an another mall across the street).
Ostensibly you're using that aforementioned power-only cable from battery -> device.
This is just what I was thinking. Make it highly targeted to a few people, and swap it out at two points. Swap it for the hot unit mid-summit, then swap back for a normal unit at the end. If they’re really lucky this could become a normal or expected thing, and be useful as a vector in the future.

I'm not going to give advice, because I feel like we think the same. I can very easily imagine being in your situation.

It sounds crazy to people who think you are considering suicide because paperwork is too difficult.

But really its that you are getting stuck, confused, and not able to get control of your life or make an impact where you work. You feel like things that should be easy are blocking you. You would like to be a master at your craft but your worried you will never contribute anything of value.

Just realize that these are very common things that many people feel. I had never even heard of "impostor syndrome" before I began programming. And you might not see the path right now, but you are not far from finding a different world where you make it through those obstacles. And in time you may become an expert at whatever field you choose.
There's also been an unusually large number of outages (...)

Maybe it's part of the campaign to promote self-reliance, like a vaccine for larger scale outages.
It must be hardware based. Like the USB bus can negotiate with your system and then upgrade the connection if the device passes.

Of course this would require cryptography to do properly so it'll never, ever happen.
I find it kind of ironic though. The risk of crypto currencies is too high, yet the company was ok with creating fake accounts that could totally have been used for fraud.

More likely they are afraid that it will be a high cost for them with very little reward.

"...because I don’t really trust any of these exchanges..."

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's exactly why many banks will begin to take actions like these. It is terrible though that crypto purchases are starting to be placed in the same risk category as porn.

(Actually, now I think about it, crypto is being put in a HIGHER risk category than porn. Ouch.)

One easy answer is to give people an "appliance"/task-specific computer instead of a general purpose computer. So the computer is essentially just a hypervisor that loads the appropriate appliance which only allows them to do specific tasks - one for banking, one for email, one for writing documents, one for browsing, one for gaming, etc.
It's probably not malicious.

That's not to say it's definitely not malicious, and I certainly wouldn't be plugging it into my phone. But it is Singapore, where it is hot, so I do understand the rational of giving fans to the journos.

I suspect that the person in charge of the decision didn't consider the fact that USB fans are a possible attack vector.

How popular has the Norwegian series Okkupert been among Swedes? It seems war is weighing heavily on the mind of all the Scandinavian countries since about 2014 (except for Finland, of course, who have never stopped thinking of it).
The United States of America had open immigration for the first 100 years or so. Not open citizenship, mind you, but open immigration. It wasn't until after the Civil War that SCOTUS forced the federal government to implement an immigration policy. Until then, this was the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
You're right that any publication will not be sufficient. A publication needs to be discoverable by the practitioners of the relevant art. However, it does not need to be well-known to them, nor does it need to be actually known by any of them. It only needs to be reasonably discoverable.

As for obtaining a patent by fraud, no comment.
It seems like this one is one of the better banks, at least they didn't ban it as a kneejerk without using their data to support this decision.
All the stores that are walking distance from my house are:
Mobile phone stores (fake resellers)
Fast food/Chinese/pizza
Liquor stores
Gas stations
711
Laundromat
Check Cashing
etc...

None of these are stores I'd want to browse.

The alternative is the mall, which is all brand stores. Basically one big ad space. Shopping there is like running IE with 100 toolbars!

Same issue with some of the big box stores now. All are restructuring to be brand specific. Best Buy? Separated by Brand now. Want to buy a headset? Get ready to go to 6 different places and only see the the brands that paid to be there (just like with Facebook, we're the product, not the customer).

Toys'R'Us did the same thing before its death. It separated by brand. Which wasn't as bad in a toy store. I can see going shopping for Lego or Barbie more likely than going shopping for Corsair or Logitech. But it still feels based on who paid to get the space rather than making it easier for the customer.
>Anything that could keep the tongue from sliding back

They do that procedure of small electric burn to the soft palate and/or back of the tongue - it supposedly creates scar tissue which firms those areas. Had it to the palate 14 years ago and snoring is still significantly lower - was told that the effect may be temporarily as/if the scar tissue goes away.
There is no point in regretting such things. You could not have known what would happen to the price of Bitcoin. You probably would’ve ended up selling it for a tiny profit and then you’d still be regretting your actions, or even you could’ve panicked at some point when it dipped a little bit and sold at a loss.

To be fair, most of those pre-date an era where the name collision would be a known significant problem. I remember when Starcraft was released and being frustrated that the young web at the time only gave me info on camping trailers, but even that is much later than half your examples.

Also, many of those you name collide with words that have no particular collision within the industry, so while you and I might think "Swift" is a non-ideal choice, it's not the same as the problem people are speaking of here.

JavaScript gets a pass because it was intentional. Not wise, as recruiting emails point out to me painfully regularly, but nonetheless intentional.

Go is the major and blink-tag-in-neon exception. I have no idea how naming something that is not only one of the english words with the most definitions but ALSO a game that has a higher-than-average overlap with people in the industry AND one that has been a significant target of the industry survived. I can only assume that someone underestimated the concern or I'm overestimating the actual pain.

Nowadays, however, there's no reason to repeat the Firebird debacle and fail to do a simple web search within your industry. Particularly if you're with a large company. Doing so earlier in your process is better, but even a last-minute name change can avoid generating a lot of ill will and confusion.

Large commercial landlords are usually fairly rational. They aren't as likely to fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy as individual homeowners are. More likely they're highly leveraged and gambling that prices will rise enough in a few years to deliver a huge return.
Indeed, when people try to refer in English to the concept of "the American continent", they usually have to say "the Americas".

I think some people's Spanish has adopted this habit, saying e.g. "los pueblos de las Américas" or "las culturas de las Américas" more than "los pueblos americanos" or "las culturas americanas", but I don't have a broad enough exposure to Spanish to understand its prevalence and connotations clearly. (Maybe it's most common in the U.S. due to influence from English?)

This echoes Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which can be viewed as people intuitively focusing on longer and longer-term needs.

The bottom of the hierarchy, food and water, if not fulfilled, will kill in a matter of days to weeks. Immediate physical safety follows, then social belonging, then higher-order psychological needs (love, esteem) that promote success over longer time scales.

Note that these needs aren't necessarily competing, but are ultimately compatible: e.g. being in a position where you are loved and esteemed by your community will ensure that your lower-order needs are likely to be fulfilled indefinitely into the future.

In this context, a 'will to power' makes a lot of sense. Your mind instinctually models that not only is it necessary to have your immediate needs today fulfilled, but that you have a guarantee that your immediate needs can be fulfilled in the future. And the best way to guarantee that is to have the personal ability to ensure that outcome, e.g. 'power' or 'capacity'.

If you drag this discussion out a bit further, one can immediately see the limitations of a proposal like UBI, or the anger coming from largely right-leaning communities hit by downsides of globalization. You can promise people benefits (or tax transfers) and feed them today, but there is no psychological sense of safety. If you know that ultimately you play no useful economic role in your society, and are really living at the largesse of society of large, what guarantee is there that that state of affairs will continue indefinitely?
