Not that I've seen.

There are some browser-specific tools that will do something like that out-of-band (e.g. in Firefox about:memory has a "Save GC & CC logs" option that outputs data about what the GC and cycle collector heap graphs look like). But interpreting those graphs is not easy, sadly.
That's pretty cool I was just about to make a write up of how to make a css dropdown mega menu, which is sort of semi-related in principle. I didn't find any good examples on codepen so I ended up writing my own.

> Can a state override any federal law?

No. There's been a lot of debate about this throughout history, but states overriding federal law has consistently been found to be unconstitutional. There are, however, other means to effect state overrides of federal law:

* Generally, only federal law can preempt state law. It is difficult (but not impossible) for the federal government to deregulate an industry and prevent states from reregulating it (pertinent modern example: net neutrality), as the lack of a federal law does not preempt a state law.

* States can direct their officers to refuse to enforce federal law. Historically, this happened with respect to the Fugitive Slave Act. SCOTUS has pretty consistently ruled that this is kosher, which has led Congress to tie granting money (particularly highway money) to acting in accord with its wishes. In more recent times, something similar has come up with respect to "sanctuary cities."
True in the UK; https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/100268/does-han... has a decent description of the history and includes a note that BT changed in 2014 from a several-minute timeout to 10 seconds, because of fraud issues.

No, but exotic software people use to design integrated circuits, like a WiFi modem, or a Bitcoin miner. Autodesk, the creator of AutoCAD, sells Eagle, an EDA software. It does not go lower than you can go with a soldering iron, except for allowing solder joints that are better created with hot air / infrared heating, and fancy multi-layer circuit boards with components on the inside.

I agree that if it's a leak on the Ubiquiti side they would be best placed to deal with that aspect, but there might be things we can do better on the Firefox side to handle pages leaking too...
I would lean towards "yes". Mostly problematic pages: YouTube and Twilio dashboard.
Fortunately that comment appears to be gone.
In brief:

1. Products reliant on advertising for revenue are incentivized to increase the amount of ads shown (per user and in total). This leads to product strategy which prioritizes growth and engagement above all. The line between "highly engaging" and "addictive" products becomes very thin, arguably disappearing entirely.

2. In order to provide highly targeted ads, companies must necessarily collect, store and organize a tremendous amount of data on their users. We have seen over and over again that this data can then be requested, stolen or tapped by governments, hostile actors and other powerful organizations for nefarious purposes without the consent of the user.

>Schrödinger’s point was not, as often implied, the apparent absurdity of quantum mechanics if extrapolated up to the everyday scale.

And a few paragraphs down:

It doesn't surprise me that Northrop were early into domain registration, they always were an unconventional-thinking company.

Nor does it surprise me that the post-merger leadership abandoned the domain name. I think that says a lot about their attitude ( acquire, grow, acquire )

Well Tesla could change that. There's zero reason for the owner's insurance company to be involved. They should admit to the f--k up, replace the car, and give some bonus for the mess.

You're going to get ads. To try to fight against the very existence of advertising is quixotic to the point of being sad. Why would you not want them to be relevant to you?

As a consumer, I would much prefer ads that are carefully tailed to my interests - software, fitness, general aviation - than see wildly different ads on the same platform, or the same 2-3 high paying ads for the latest garbage CBS sitcom. As a business owner, I would much rather pay $10-12 per click on one of my ads that is highly targeted to demographics, income, technology use, browsing history (of my sites, re-targeting etc) than pay $0.10 per click on a completely dumb ad with insight into who is actually clicking.

When I started my CS degree the school was transitioning from teaching C++ to teaching Java, and the state of instruction in C++ was almost as bad as these examples. I had a professor who wanted us to use "new Foo()" everywhere in our code (even local / static variables) because it, "gets the students ready for Java." No matching delete, of course, or mention of RAII. We were supposed to "pretend" we had a garbage collector. By that logic one might prepare students for a course in Spanish by speaking English with a "-o" on the end of every word.

On one of the early homework assignments I realized my professor misunderstood how pointers work - he seemed to believe that (re)assigning pointers created chains rather than changing what the pointer points at. I.e. given "int x,y; int_pointer a,b,c; a=b=c=&x;" he seemed to believe that then executing "c=&y;" would also cause "a" and "b" to point at "y".

I spent the first page of my turned-in assignment excoriating his lack of understanding. Then I presented a class template that implemented a special smart pointer which did behave in the unusual way he seemed to think C pointers work, so that I could write the code exactly as he presented in the assignment and make it actually work.

In retrospect I could have been nicer and considered other pedagogical factors beside technical correctness. I think he took it with more grace than I deserved.

I don't know anyone where the barrier to them trying heroin is legality.

And I don't think anyone but the most hardcore libertarians are for heroin to be as widely available as alcohol.

But I think there's a middle ground between heroin at your local corner store and the current life destroying monster known as the drug war.
Also, are snapshots planned? They're not mentioned now.
I've never thought about that last bit until now. Do you think the ad targeting is being updated with actual purchasers on such a regular basis, or is that baked into whatever tracking cookie(s) were used, e.g. the FB pixel?
You can get quite far without knowing them. But to be honest, I think this wasn't super different 20 years ago. I mean there was Basic, Delphi and people were writing software without knowing what they were doing - of course me included :-). Today people attempt to do this with React or App programming. People get somewhere but without any understanding how this stuff works, usually a wall gets hit after a certain complexity emerges.

Without understand how a computer works, programs can becomes ridiculously unmaintainable und slow. The bare minimum is probably knowing that there is a thing called complexity, that there are Hash maps, sorting algorithms, things like discs, memory, networks, all operating at different speed. Even if you don't do the implementations of these things yourself - who does? - you don't get far if you have no clue or you know the facts but ignore them.

Well, the poster probably meant whatever GFS incarnation is around these days (Colossus is v2 or v3, depending on how you look at things). In the end, almost everything at Google is backed by "GFS": Bigtable, Blobstore, GCS, Spanner, Megastore, etc. There's little else that is not backed by GFS, but talks to D directly. At least that has been mentioned in public, of course. Still, none of it is user facing/serving, though.
On your possessions above 25.000 (ex first home) on January 1st, you pay as if you will be making 4% the coming year. The tax is 30% over this virtual 4% gain. So 1,2% tax over the amount above 25.000
But mind if you keep the possessions, next year you again have to pay 1,2% over their value.

In the case of profit tax, you only pay tax once over the real profit. (And can deduct loses)

So in case you have 100.000 at the start of the year, you pay
900 tax. (1,2% of 75.000)

Now if you make 100% profit and start the next year with 200.000, you'll pay 2.100 tax.
Let's say you stop here and keep this amount for 4 years on a 0% interest account, you have to pay 2.100 every year.
So a total of 9.300 tax

If there would be profit tax of 30% you would pay 30.000 once. (30% on the 100.000 profit)

So if you're an active succesful investor, the Dutch system mostly is way better.

But now people are complaining it is not fair, because a savings account doesn't return 4%.

Being an investor myself I fear we will get profit tax in the future.
But then you have to maintain dozens to thousands of micropayment relationships. I'm not willing to do that.

I'd take your argument further even. We could be mistaken about every experience we've ever had. Let's take the brain in a vat example, in which none of our sensory experiences accurately model reality.

This has no bearing on the hard problem of describing consciousness or how organic material (maybe silicon some day) gives rise to it. It also doesn't indicate how a physicalist picture of the mind could, in principle, capture the phenomena.
I do wish Twitter, FB, IG etc offered a no-ad subscription to users. Charge folks 3-4x the expected per-person revenue and it's a win-win, right?

The only thing I can think of that would make them not do this is that maybe the folks most likely to pay $15/mo not to see advertisements are the same folks advertisers most want to get in front of. Expendable income and willing to pay money for convenience and personal taste.
That's not how the real world work and that's what insurance are there for. Technicians who make mistakes can't dispense $85k. Their companies also might not be able to. That's why they should get insurance.

In most of the parking spot, if you read the terms it'll say they don't assume any responsibility for the car. That is the parking is not insured and thus you have to rely on your insurance policy.
I want to clarify that by "successful" I meant that they were successful in achieving the actual motivations behind many of the actions by the people that got the drug wars started. These motivations were not necessarily stated or good, but they were successful.

I love Tower, but darn it I need to be MORE efficient and save money on overheads. Too many subscriptions, Jetbrains is being ditched next year, and I’ll stick with Tower 2 until it stops working. Sigh. I thought software companies had economies of scale by coding once and selling a squillion times. Apparently this is not the case. A git GUI is really not worth this much to me every year, given my existing skills on the command line. Maybe this is for companies and not individuals.

No. The guy in the article wasn't prosecuted for every hidden compartment he made, just the ones he made that he was well aware were going to be used for illegal activity. Just like guns, the vast majority of them won't be used for anything illegal, even though some of them will be. But the moment you knowingly and willingly facilitate criminal activity, you become a party to the crime. That's true with guns, secret compartments, candy bars, or anything else.

RIPS could have at least waited one more month. It sounds like Wordpress gave their HackerOne extension deadline.

Also, lots of typos and bad wording in the article makes it look even less professional. For instance, if I didn't know the context, the following sentence makes absolutely no sense:

The Indians ended up with a 22-game winning streak during that period, resulting in around $2 million in refunds. The insurance for that was $75,000. I remember calculating the probability of winning 15 games in a row any time over a ~55 game period and the insurance company seemed like they were getting a great deal!

Friend’s BMW was getting serviced when Hurricane Sandy hit. Not only did BMW assign someone to help him with his insurance paperwork, as well as make them available to directly answer the adjuster’s questions, they also comped the service, cut him a cheque for the deductible and threw in a bunch of free tires and time on their racing track.

"Unrestricted" in that most second-hand gambling machines are switched to a "demo mode" which delivers unrealistic winning chances.

The situation with the modes is more complex in Germany:

- "real", licensed casinos can carry the big ass slot machines. These have very high limits, both in wins and losses, and can be centrally controlled by the casino.

- bars, "machine casinos" and other unlicensed venues carry the machines of the kind which I have. On these you can lose (aka pay in) no more than 80€/h, and win (aka pay out) no more than 500€/h. Which means: if you win e.g. 1000€, you'll have to hang around for 2 hours to withdraw your win. Machines based on the new rules (TR5) actually have even lower limits (80/400 loss/win). These are mandated to only collect a certain amount of money - only 33€/hour used should go as profits to the operator, the rest of the money paid in must be distributed to the gamblers over time ("long term").
This is pretty slick.

On the demo page, you might consider dropping the number of rows by default from 10,000 to 1,000. Though Zapper's rendering handles it very quickly, the browser struggles a bit to keep up in Chrome and FF. It gives a pretty snappy experience doing live-typing editing at 1,000 though.

Cogito ergo sum!

"I have convinced myself that there is absolutely nothing in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Does it now follow that I too do not exist? No: if I convinced myself of something then I certainly existed. But there is a deceiver of supreme power and cunning who is deliberately and constantly deceiving me. In that case I too undoubtedly exist, if he is deceiving me; and let him deceive me as much as he can, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I think that I am something. So after considering everything very thoroughly, I must finally conclude that this proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind."
