The argument I rebutted was that Salmon's quote (lie + wire = conviction) was incorrect.

If you get the jury to vote "guilty", then you have proven guilt, even if you have done so using zero logic or critical thinking skills, or provided them with falsehoods and misinformation. That's Salmon's point, and it's true.

In theory, and according to the law, wire fraud is not simply a lie plus a wire. In practice, that's exactly what wire fraud is. There shouldn't be a gulf between the two, but thanks to our lawmakers, judges, and US attorneys, there is.
Saboteur's break things, whistleblowers expose illegal or immoral behavior, fraudsters commit fraud. What exactly is thin about those lines?

The Onion nailed the West's current interest in yoga twenty years ago[0], and it's only gotten worse. It's amazing how much money you can make as long as you divorce religion and spirituality from a practice optimized over a thousand years by religious and spiritual experts. Sort of like having an amazing search light but not the slightest idea where to point it or what we are searching for would look like.

Time in uterus is expensive. Until they figure out how to use a cow uterus to host a human test tube baby I guess. Eggs are rarer then sperm, but it’s more of a political limit given cloning is possible.
But really, women are barely having 2 children each. If we really needed more children, then society could encourage more by subsidizing children even more.
If you aren't a frequent movie goer, why would you want a service like moviepass in the first place. Just pay as you go.
This remains my favorite software ever written. It's so simple but you can do so much with it. You can end up "rediscovering" bezier curves, ellipses, and parabolas as loci of various forms. It's really something else. Well worth a couple bucks a year for my license.
E-Book: Blockchain for Dummies (by IBM)
If I'm understanding this correctly - an employee of Marriott liked a tweet praising Marriott for listing Tibet as a country in a survey, so China tells Marriott to apologize, hold the employee responsible, and suspends Marriott's website and app in China (their second largest market, with over 300 hotels).

Marriott then fires the employee and releases a statement on twitter saying "We don’t support separatist groups that subvert the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China".

That hardly seems like a reason to stop supporting Marriott. What would you have wanted them to do differently?
Make sure to look over the table at the end. They saved 2 seconds of run time. They didn’t reduce much memory, they reduced heap allocations. It’s the same as allocating and then releasing a 1MB array 1000 times and then worrying that you’ve used a gigabyte, even though the most you ever had allocated was 1MB.
"This classic study of ethics in business presents an eye-opening account of how corporate managers think the world works, and how big organizations shape moral consciousness. Robert Jackall takes the reader inside a topsy-turvy world where hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but sharp talk, self-promotion, powerful patrons, and sheer luck might. What sort of everyday rules-in-use do people play by when there are no fixed standards to explain why some succeed and others fail? In the words of one corporate manager, those rules boil down to this maxim: "What is right in the corporation is what the guy above you wants from you. That's what morality is in the corporation." This brilliant, disturbing, funny look at the ethos of the corporate world presents compelling real life stories of the men and women charged with running the businesses of America."

Wow thanks for the book rec. This is exactly my experience.
Thanks. I think I might try this out first since there isn't much overhead. What's the performance like for you? Any advice you have on mitigating possible perf issues?
The lawsuit mentions a wide array of statutes the individual allegedly violated, including numerous felonies. It'd certainly be peculiar if criminal charges were not also pursued.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US and causes more deaths than breast cancer (45K vs 40K) and over 6x deaths from HIV (~7K). 90% of suicides are related to mental illness.

It also takes younger lives than other disease. When combined with deaths due to "poisoning" (generally due to heroin / opioid overdose), suicide + poisoning cause more lost years of life before age 75 than any other major disease reported by the CDC [1]

Imagine how many more people have attempted or considered suicide, and how depressed these people are, and how much lost productivity is and unhappiness is involved in this

Really tragic how little attention is paid to this

Yo dawg, I heard you like progress, so check out rsync's

--info=progress2

You can use it since rsync version 3.1.0.
I think many developers want to treat RDBMSs as simple black-box data stores... something, admittedly, you can largely get away with in the majority of applications. I think this leads to a lot of developers avoiding anything that forces a real understanding of the database since they can get a fair amount done without it and that's understandable. Triggers and stored procedures and database functions intrude into this solace and therefore are frowned upon by many.

Having said all that I think it's better to have a firm understanding and a feel for RDBMS operations and development techniques and that you can produce more solid work if you have that understanding. I think if you have that understanding (and actually have an appropriate problem for a RDBMS solution) there are roles for triggers/procedures/functions in the database... just understand where the boundaries are and delineate clear responsibilities to the various pieces of the stack (that's the hard part and the part in which many fail). I also think that if you are a developer needing to make use of an RDBMS and don't have a solid understanding of your RDBMS of choice, you're going to screw up more than just anything to do with triggers/functions/procedures/etc. This is why I always approach projects where ORMs are important with caution. ORMs are just a tool, true, but often times they are also the rug under which the database can be swept... or to put it another way, a framework for building technical debt. (Yeah, yeah, not always, but frequently).

As for PostgreSQL table inheritance... just say no. You cannot overcome the object/relational impedance with that feature and you end up compromising too much of why you might want a RDBMS in the first place. I've only seen it used well twice; one of those cases being table partitioning and that is, from a user perspective, becoming much less necessary with new features in PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is an Object Relational Database Management System, but I think you have to consider the object part of that as primarily being useful inside the database itself: it can be useful in more sophisticated uses of the database itself, especially if you are writing functions/triggers, but isn't a great tool in my experience to map to OO systems outside of the database. I have found it much clearer from an information architectural perspective and easier to maintain data integrity using standard RDBMS modeling techniques (with the exception of maintaining certain unstructured data as JSON blobs).

No, it's not. Can you point to the line in the lawsuit where they make any claim of that sort? The accusations seem very specific to his own actions.

People have been measuring the cost of refactoring versus rewrite from scratch, but the results are, as so often in the industry of software development mostly ignored. Anyway, there (obviously) is a tilting point.
Yeah, my wife would agree. ;) This is probably the most epic failure of my career. I thought I did proper due diligence but obviously I didn't. A learning experience for sure.

What I Learned by Teaching Fourth Grade Girls to Code
For most products the "time" that matters is "time to market" and "time to resolution" on bugs. Most business uses cases don't require the kind of performance we expect of them.

Depending on industry, time is relative. These optimizations will save you milliseconds on tight loops. In reality most apps aren't spending their time on tight loops. They are spending their time waiting for I/O or using inefficient algorithms. Neither of which these optimizations solve for.

If you are underperforming spec by 100ms it is likely you have one big change you need to make to save 100ms not 100 small micro-optimizations.
There's already a very easy and commonly deployed way to save on a concierge: don't have one.
True up to a point but any professional developer needs to be able to pick up a new language quickly - I had to learn Pl/1G to work on a Map reduce code base.

I was assuming a more rational choice but then developing serious technical software in pascal instead of fortran in the 80's was not a rational choice in the first place.
I worked with one guy once where he wanted the "ultimate flexibility" and every data model object basically became a database table with the columns 'key' and 'value'. Trying to think of everything ahead of time has its own problems...
Which has now been usurped by native partitioning as of Postgres 10 :)
I expect them to honor the bare minimum policy that was in place when we booked it, nothing more.

Until they changed the policy with no notice there would have been no problem with simply getting another ticket to the same movie the a week later. The change retroactively apply to movies we had reserved tickets for before the change.
I used to practice yoga and meditation with a goal of transcending my own ego. I largely stopped because it felt like I was forcing it, and I felt that particular kind of self-discipline wasn't the right way for me. This study (if it has any validity) reinforces that thinking from a different angle. Maybe yoga and meditation are just outward signs of the natural enlightenment process, and using them as tools to pursue enlightenment is simply cargo cultism. Or maybe that's just my ego justifying itself...
Wow, at least one person on the same page as me here. I just don't care what people think..."addiction" to a game and the associated anti-social and possibly self-destructive behavior is just not a disease. Or, if it is, then the sky is the limit on what will be called (and yes, medicated) as a disease. And I don't like the trend...look at the stats, they are medicating tens of millions of children in the US alone for crap just like this.........

But I'm glad that I've found this thread, I'll keep this information in mind. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not referring to technical support questions, I'm referring to actual issues with verifiable repros which works everywhere else (inc. their debugger). They dismiss issues with core functionality like their W3C fetch API not being able to maintain long-running HTTP connections which breaks solutions relying on them like SSE [1]. They originally closed it making it known they have no intentions on ever fixing it and have since locked it preventing anyone else from being able to comment on it either.

RN enables a fast development model but you'll continually skate into an open mine field of issues where you'll end up wasting time on putting out fires and diagnosing issues only to discover they're known issues they have no intentions of fixing so you'll be spending time on implementing workarounds mitigating broken UX experiences in your App instead of focusing on delivering end-user value. Given the 1000's of issues that have received similar treatment I suspect React Native is just an architecturally flawed experiment and why we'll continue to see more users abandoning it. Hopefully they wont have wasted as much effort and resources as Airbnb's multi-year investment who despite having a large enough dev team to maintain their own fork was still unable to make RN work for them.

I can't really blame them for their position. OSC has some really cool ideas, but the standards organization that was shaping the protocol ended up dissolving (somewhat) before all the rough edges could be sorted. I personally find it to be a nice serialization format with enough complexity to do what you need without it becoming all consuming.
What's the source of the distortion?
The duplicated code can be as simple as a few cryptographic operations for each broadcasted transaction. This can easily scale to tens of thousands of nodes and transactions per hour without requiring significant computing resources over the baseline of running a high bandwidth internet node.

When the consistency algorithm is proof of work chains, or when the proof of work is used to control the scarcity and disbursement of the valuable token, only then you have the whole "world turning into fucking Mordor" problem.

The ego is a tool. Ego death is temporary and should not be aimed for 24/7. In a 3D, physical world, the ego is what you use to differentiate your actions from others, to take responsibility, and to make changes. We can recognize and feel deeply that we are all connected, but an ego-less person in a physical world is like a formless void, and has forgotten it's point in being alive.

Serverless is Cloud 2.0. The goal is to abstract everything away, making it PFM so C-level execs at unicorn startups don't have to waste brain cycles understanding anything beyond their immediate "core competencies". And just like "the cloud" abstracted physical hardware, disks, etc. into PFM (you need a server, presto! an abstract server will appear when you cast the circle and wave money in Amazon's direction), so "serverless" abstracts away even this abstract server and its OS and software infrastructure.

The next step, obviously, is a softwareless infrastructure, allowing C-level unicorn execs to simply exert their will without going through pesky developers. Is this what the current "no code" trend is about?

i'm merely saying that from several shops i've worked at, including instacart, with many 10k+ lines of code rails codebases, i've never seen problems like what you've described and it sounds pathological for that specific application/company.

again my (and many others') point is that rails is absolutely maintainable, even at massive scale, and even in a world with ever-changing requirements, hard deadlines, and very loosely-understanding clients, and that all that takes is doing rails the "right way" (a comprehensive test suite, reasonable architectural design), and that it is still massively productive.

I lost access to my Coinbase account when I lost my phone and got locked out due to 2FA. This was partially my fault for not being careful enough and not saving the recovery code.

Anyway, they told me to create a new account. Their team would then verify that both accounts are matching, as you have to submit a copy of your passport. The funds would then be transferred from the old locked-out account to the new account.

I did all this over 2 months ago. I am still waiting for the funds to be transferred. I contacted support twice now, and I'm always getting the same reply (we're still working on it).

Fortunately, due to a mistrust of exchanges, I only have a small portion of my crypto-assets on Coinbase and keep most of it offline. However, it's still a non-trivial amount of money. I'm not sure what extra steps I can take now without it being too much effort on my part, because the amount is not that high.
