>If you put that money into a fund, you could pay every impoverished kid in the entire state $1,000 per year in perpetuity.

Then it's still a good deal. Those kids grow up and 1000 a year isn't enough for a car, is it.

In addition, infrastructure projects are a long-term investment for this AND future generations. The long-term aspect outlives political terms, and combined with a general myopia around 'government spending' we have an incredibly backwards public transit infra. I live in the most densely populated piece of the US and have a background in countries with top notch transit (and far better roads, incidentally) and that's my perspective. I can only assume people (who aren't millionaires desiring less taxation) who are against transit just haven't traveled very much.
Do you actually have an argument as to how they would fake the VM in a manner that would withstand the analysis of the defendants experts?
As far as I've seen from the last 2 years of living in this neighborhood, they're moving in and staying here. At least enough time out of the year that you don't notice if they're gone for prolonged periods of time (and it would be hard not to notice, the neighborhood is blanketed by solicitors and their ridiculous flyers). A few homes are known to be empty, but only a few, and this development has > 2k homes in it. There are a couple of rentals, but from what the neighbors and I have gathered there really are only a few. It's Irvine, CA, so it's just sort of like this, I gather.

edit/ Having said that, it's not very different from what you'd see in the San Gabriel valley in recent years, either. If they're living here full-time, or not, is any ones guess. I suppose I could find out if I really wanted to, but it'd probably take weeks.
What I find ironic is it's said that women's shampoos, etc. are said to be higher priced than men's - for what is the same / similar products - just marketed and scented differently.

So are we now going to achieve equality by over-charging some subset of men as well? :)

That aside, all the best.

I agree with what Spolsky wrote about this awhile back, which is that you should resolve disparities in financial contributions of founders with IOUs, not equity.
Yeah it's pretty similar to orange flower water actually, but slightly more floral.
Of course they were, just as the Democrats attempted to block Gorsuch. Difference is there would be no reasonable excuse to not even letting it come to a vote at that point.

Regan's last nomination was an interesting one. With his first nomination for the seat coming nearly a year and a half before the next election. Then going through another potential nominee, with Kennedy not being confirmed until early 1988.

Regardless, all I'm saying is I understand the reasoning for not wanting to let Obama appoint a SCOTUS justice in his last months. They could have gone the other way and let it come to a vote. Republicans would certainly have had the numbers to block it (and the yays needed 60 then). And then Obama would have appointed someone else, and so on until the election was decided and the next president in office.

Though I have no doubt the Republican leadership would have acted differently if a seat was open during the last days of a Republican administration.

Either way, Gorush's seat is no more stolen than a Hillary appointee would be.
It seems very much like a usage issue. My friends that take their macbooks to the coffee shop, traveling, use it on the train, etc. all have had keyboard issues.

I work from home with an external keyboard and monitor and honestly might as well have a desktop for all the MBP leaves my room (and ancedatally) others with a similar usage pattern aren't having the issues.

This kind of misses the point and I don't think really disagrees with what I'm saying. First off, as I mentioned I it's been discussed here and most agree the Wix/Squarespace sites can get deficient pretty quickly.

Secondly, if there were an easy way for designers who are not extremely technical to attribute their code, it actually could greatly help some of the problems you're referring to. For example, if a pre-processor knew what the intent was it could replaced a bad or bloated decision automatically without changing the semantic meaning.

Finally, as for the suggestion around keeping it simple with basic constructs and are predictable and easy to work with, there is no reason that couldn't be part of some type of effort like this that attempted to extract more value from artists than their technical knowledge may allow and realize the potential of many more designs.
That was what I was wondering about when I bought my Macbook Pro in 2015 - but I'm still using it. I have to run 2 VMs plus Xcode before the RAM becomes a noticeable problem, and even then it's perfectly usable in practice. (Switching between VMs is not instant, but the very fast SSD means I'm not waiting for too long.) I think a quad core CPU would be a much more useful upgrade than more RAM.

And come to think of it, it was also what I was wondering when I bought my desktop PC in 2012, and I'm still using that, too.

I'm not saying it's unreasonable or foolish to be concerned - far from it, given that the RAM can't be upgraded - but I still do wonder when the tipping point for this will actually be reached in practice. During my formative years, you were doing well to get 3 years out of a PC, and now here I am with a laptop that's that old, figuring it will last at least a couple more years...
Why would they need to? IRCCloud does that for them (the joys of SaaS).
Am I wrong? Going back over a month, you already had your mind made up. Every comment on the topic since is singing the same tune. You’ve characterized an indictment as “pretty convincing” and scoffed at the notion that a government could fake the evidence offered. You’ve engaged with someone who has talked about shills (and they weren’t talking to you) with incredulity. These are your words, The guy is clearly guilty.

So yes, it would seem you have reached a forgone conclusion a while ago and have been working backwards since. For the record I don’t think that you’re a shill, just a sincerely uncritical individual when it comes to the machinations of both criminal justice, and state intelligence apparatuses and their history.

Is that better, mate?
I dont think about what my clean laundry smells like, other than that it smells like clean laundry. Ideally, though, I want my clean laundry to smell like nothing at all.
I used command line IRC clients in the 1990s. I wrote IRC clients in the 1990s. I'm not interested in going back to IRC, an "open" 7-bit effectively-centralized protocol with line-length limits and lowest-common-denominator clients that can't even show an image.

I don't use Mutt to get access to my email, anymore, either.

I guess that makes me "average".

IRC, FTP, and, yes, SMTP are all bad protocols from the 1980s era of protocol design. All are on their way out, some more gradually than others. Good riddance. How sad it would be if the Internet of 2020 looked the same as it did in 1995.
It's not just 'a space bar fix'. It's a key on a highly specialized keyboard. A MBP is the same price as N Chrome books but they aren't in the same ballpark in terms of functionality.

Note that even if you share DRAM with the graphic chip, you may take an extra step anyway to rearrange the texture in a tiled format since it's more efficient for sampling.

If you really care about load time you can decode the image directly in a tiled layout in software but that's more annoying.

Except she "didn't have any government-issued ID or travel permits on her." Her passport was not available for review.

They let her contact her mother, who brought her passport. All that was left was for Canada to say she was in Canada legally.

So, Canada does deserve part of the blame. The article says her mother rushed to the detention center with her passport and was told to submit it to Immigration Canada. I have no idea why it took two weeks for officials on both sides to determine she could go back to Canada; but, it sounds like there was some sort of delay on the Canadian side. Of course, neither side will comment on the case.

Here is XKCD[0] for this ;-)

So your argument is that the entire thing is faked? Faked so incredibly well that it will withstand expert analysis at trial? That they faked years of activity (down to the inode level of the filesystem) by this guy and didn't make a single mistake? Because his defense team will tear that evidence apart and will find that mistake if it's there (e.g. any inode activity during a time he has an alibi... very easy to find).

And that you find that more believable than that someone could just happen to be both a security expert and a pedophile?

Do you realize he wasn't caught because of his security lapses? The found the VM because they raided his house for a separate matter. Every indication is that, with the exception of using a password he stored on his phone (which, read the indictment, he clearly realized during the interrogation that he had made a mistake), the government would have never found this VM of his.

He did take the steps you suggest, and it didn't matter, because they raided his house, and he made a single, and easily understandable mistake: he stored the password he used for the VM somewhere where someone could access it digitally. If he had just memorized the password, they would have very likely never broken that encryption.

There is another word for "stealing IP" that has worked quite well in the software industry.

It's called open source.

Yes, most startups aren't releasing all their code or anything, but there is a huge culture of open source development tools and software.

I think this open source culture, where lots of stuff is available easily and for free, is a big reason why the software industry has been so successful, and why places like SF have been so successful. (IE, SF job hopping, and "stealing"/poaching engineering talent, so that knowledge transfers).
It's like the devs of Clang and GCC suddenly joined to define what "C20" means but bypassing ANSI and ISO processes.

This comment is how all suggestions/comments/constructive criticism should be given when someone shares something they worked on (online or elsewhere).

1. Acknowledge the positives.

2. Acknowledge the effort/work put in.

3. Introduce your idea as something to consider, with the knowledge that they may have already considered it, and have a good reason for going a different direction.

Kudos!

I totally oppose large scale public transport scams that various elected politicians are proposing with other people's money. Most of these projects come at serious taxpayer costs worse that money should have gone into other basic things in first place. The California proposed world's slowest high speed train that has not progressed an in is a good example. NY subway repairs (estimated at $70B) etc. etc. reek of third world scams that I am used to seeing in India.

The least reliable, worst Mac I’ve ever owned is the cylindrical Mac Pro.

Yeah, I agree about the street protests themselves were pretty dysfunctional, that wasn't really what I was talking about. The protests were really only the tip of the iceberg at the time. There seemed to be a much wider focus on the gaming of systems and regulatory capture (mostly) by a financial industry that pretty much seemed to be just a state protected tool for money farmers.

The entire thing is a massive joke on the people of Hawaii. The refusal to audit saying we need to move on and deal with the present screams misuse of funds. Every year they came back saying they needed more money.

One of the anti-rail points of them building raised rail out of the west side over completely open land is extremely logical. Why did we spend millions when it could’ve been built on the ground out there? We would not be in the situation now where there are no funds to complete it. Someone had friends in the concrete business.

I refuse to be one of the people stuck with that bill and it’s a major reason for me leaving the island as a born here local. It tops the idiocy of the local government.
Yeah, those charges are very real. They've continually been upheld in courts in both the UK and Sweden.
The court had to rule that way to protect the First Amendment. Otherwise you're reasoning that it's "corrupt" to say something nice about someone out loud, just because that person might hear you and decide to be nice to you. Again: recall that The NY Times spends a lot of money to say things out loud every day.

Are there any performance benchmarks comparing ozone-gbm vs ozone-wayland ? It seems that the implementation that the article talks about is moot if the Wayland implementation has near equivalent performance..since the hardware layers are abstracted out.

My comment was about an "organization devoted to liberty", not the ACLU. They can of course do as they please, but they won't be able to call themselves that any more.
Thanks for the data points! I suspected one or both of you might have chosen a geographically transferable profession that requires limited or no post-grad like accounting or nursing. I think these are the best kinds of jobs to target. What else fits into this category? Maybe software / web development fits too, though I don't think it's so geographically transferable. I wish teaching (which is what lots of my college friends do) was one of these, but alas, it pays extremely poorly.

I guess outlying suburbs of somewhat-but-but-wildly-bustling metros are viable as low-cost / high-employment places to live, though I'm not sure requiring long commutes that aren't well suited to mass transit is a great solution for most people.

Most people with tons of college debt that I know worked the entire time, so YMMV on that one. The people I know without debt are actually more likely to have not worked (because their parents were paying).
Well, the spacebars are in pretty similar ballparks.
> No purpose to life other than seeing my child grow up and be successful.

FWIW, in my opinion (and in the opinion of evolution and biology), raising children is the purpose to life. By having children, we give another human the ability to experience life. And, for most of us, they are the only lasting mark we will leave on existence.
> I know I have to count each stack of twenty twice, and ideally not three times, so I count 21 bills out, then if its 21 the second time, I take one off.

I'm not sure I understand this. Is it just so you don't have to hunt for an extra bill somewhere else? If the second count doesn't match the first count you need to count a third time anyways, right? It sounds like you're implying using a 21 stack initially reduces recounts.

How much performance do you actually need, though? As long as you can load 60 * k arbitrary frames per second then you can skip around at will.

Being capped at the equivalent of 3 or 10 high-end SSDs isn't problem if there's no good way to fit more than that with any tech.

And you don't exactly need to stripe them all. You could set it up as a blob storage, maybe storing each blob twice so you can distribute reads better.
Perhaps they put greater emphasis than you on the difference between "is" and "is accused of being"? At least on the child abuse side, I'm pretty sure that most defenders are doubting the evidence rather than condoning the behavior.
Counterintelligence investigations and prosecutions probably take a long time, and the stakes are high enough that prosecutors want to make their case airtight. Charging him with the other crimes he’s believed guilty of is probably a good way of laying the groundwork for the later case, with the added bonus of greater leverage and hurting their financial (and therefore, legal) positions.

In 2012, I was chatting with an south indian plantation owner. He had planned take advantage of this huge demand and setup a vanilla farm. But he lost all his investment within a year as the farm got plagued by disease. Not only is it difficult to cultivate, but it seems vanilla is also less resilient to diseases. Perhaps that explains why it is grown only few regions.
Completely agree. To me it seems unlikely that people working for the cia are pedos. It is possible but goes counter to all demographic studies on the characteristics of pedos. Most pedos are low income, uneducated social misfit types. The educated people who do it are mostly the outliers in the demographic studies.

Meanwhile all of these leakers having some sort of cp charge is a significant enough to look deeper into what is going on.
