Again, no court has ever said that imminent harm is the constitutional standard. Imminent harm (or similar wording) is what the ACLU and other groups lobbied for and got in most states in the 1970s and later, and is a big reason the U.S. has so many mentally ill homeless slowly dying on the streets.

More recently a few states have changed their legislation to loosen the standard. For example, in Oregon you can be involuntarily committed if because of mental illness you're "unable to provide for basic personal needs like health and safety."

Much like with the recent crime wave, mentally ill homeless is a fixable problem, or at least we can do much better. We don't need to return to the 1950s when undesirables were housed in mental hospitals. The abuses were real. But the reaction was too extreme.

There's plenty of room for moving back in the other direction without creating the potential for widespread abuse. Not letting sick people rot on the streets is hardly a slippery slope to hospitalizing and drugging non-conformists. There's a universe of possibilities between where we're at now and where we were when O'Connor v. Donaldson was decided in 1975.

Again, neither Donaldson[1] nor any other court opinion set the bar at imminent harm, serious harm, or anything similar. Rather, it was simply expedient to toss everybody out on the street while also feeling good about ourselves for increasing everybody's "freedom".

[1] Donaldson was a functioning schizophrenic. He lived in an apartment, alone, in Philadelphia and got by without trouble for years. Though sick he was still able to care for himself. He visited his parents in Florida and his father called the cops and had him involuntary committed because of his paranoid ramblings. He was hospitalized for 15 years without any doctor so much as suggesting he couldn't return to the stable life he had before. That was a terrible injustice, but hardly justification for the extreme reforms that came afterward.
What about the choice of an individual to get an F150 which has an unnecessarily large V8 engine roaring and idling when no one is using it for what it was designed for? I am in a city surrounded by cars that are far too large for their designated duties. People choose, like you mention, and yet it's the children with asthma and my mother with asthma who pays the price for the ridiculously oversized and smog-producing vehicles that are everywhere in society. I'm all for pickup trucks and minivans and buses, but only in the right application. At other times, which is probably 80-90% of the large vehicles I see, your choice to go alone in the car hurts all of our lungs and our planet.
None of the facilities are really proximate to combustible materials which lowers the risk considerably. There are areas of very stubby grass patches some distance away, any ignition of that would be easily contained. Roads and asphalt barriers would slow the progress of flames.

Other than overhead power service (which is fed off very tall high-tension lines) other utilities are underground.

People access is probably the greatest risk. Depending on the spread of the employee's living there may be challenges getting to work.

Also, this? This is the illustrative example you chose for your amazing new query language?

But post that the article really failed to connect how the new language is going to do the above in a way no other language has done.

Also, I agree with the rest on the point against SQL, doesn't matter if SQL was invented in the 70s, so was the many programming languages and paradigms we use today.

PS. I don't make a living writing SQL.
Actually, I don't think it's stupidity... it's greed. Telling stories that sound good is unrelated to truth, but declaring them science or news (when you don't know) is deceptive.

People will never be satisfied. If/When the full emails quoted in the indictment are released, they will point out that e-mails are just UTF-8 characters in a file that anybody could have created. There simply is no evidence, nor is it even possible for there to be any evidence, that people could verify at home. Even if the official Russian "Certificate of Excellence in Hacking Democracy", printed on Russia's own polonium-laced paper, affixed with "Putin's Seal of Outrageous Heterosexuality" self-appointed sceptics will complain that all they can access is a photo, and the FBI isn't letting them stop by and inspect the original.

“You might ask why Oracle changes the releases of Java in such an big way.”

xquery has a power and limitation with it's data model being xpath. sql and relational has proven very capable of being optimized as well as being extensible. the schema that relational systems impose at times has thought to be too restrictive but it makes it possible to reason about the query and data and that makes them powerful; it also helps the user to understand the shape of their data. with systems like google's big query showing how you can have schemaless non 1nf powerful and scalable systems still queried with sql there needs to be a powerful and innovative system to justify moving on from sql. having lambda like syntax for where clauses filters just looks like linq to sql.
Yeah. I worked a 3-day week for 6-7 years, and overall it worked really well for both my employer (who got a more productive employee) and me.

From my side, the biggest drawback was that it was a sort of golden handcuffs - I almost certainly stayed there longer than I otherwise would have because getting an equivalent setup elsewhere would have such a pain.

My impression was that the biggest drawback on my employer's side (after hashing out the initial bureaucracy/paperwork) was my more limited availability for meetings.
First of all, I was not presenting it as fact. Merely as a possibility and something to consider.

Second, I read the disclosure, and all it does is point out that it is a possibility and not a fact. It also points out that the intelligence agencies have not provided any hard evidence that Russia was behind the leak, and they are the same groups who lied to the public about WMDs in Iraq to justify that invasion.

This article also says that the original reports were published by Consortium News, the source I linked to.

> If I'm a Google shareholder, ... then I'm going to be unhappy.

Are you a voting shareholder (class A or B)? If you have class C (no vote), they don't have to care. If you have class A (voting public) shares, which get 1/10 the vote of the class B (management) shares, your influence is incidental at best.
"No".
> because I hate leaving a bottle open.

I used to share that concern until I discovered that many young full red wines are just as good, if not better, in the day or two after opening. No need for a vacuum plug either. Just plug the original cork back in. The result probably depends on the style - I typically have very full reds which already benefit from opening at least an hour before drinking.
I'm not sure I completely understand your comment. Are you suggesting this is not a significant advance in the field?

I am not an EM expert; but the fact that its been through peer review & gotten published in Nature seems to suggest scientists in the field think it is a significant advance. And from what I do know of microscopy, it is still not trivial to image (sub?) atomic size structures.

Extending the quoted paragraph:

"The basic principle of the technique was proposed almost 50 years ago by the physicist Walter Hoppe, who reasoned that there should be enough information in the diffraction data to work backwards to produce an image of the diffracting object.

However, it was many years before computer algorithms were developed that could do this reverse calculation easily and reliably. The pictures produced by ptychographic methods are generated using a computer from a vast amount of indirect scattering data."

The news & views article does not claim that this is a basic sciences advance; they are claiming its an engineering / methodology / procedural advance. And those are as important, IMO.

Unless you are suggesting that, once the basic sciences are known, any engineering advance is trivial. If so, then you & I have very a different impression of how easy / difficult it is to build new "things" :)
As long as you're able to create btc addresses without having to show an id to an official, it should be possible to anonimize them. Or at least create a pseudo plausible story of getting them in a legal fashion. Of course, it's pretty difficult for an authority to believe that you received 10k stolen BTCs from donations in the address that you posted on your blog, but it's also pretty difficult to prove that you sent them yourself.
That's just flat out wrong:

I assume you are being sarcastic because my parents raised me in a $1M massive single family home in midwest suburbia which was also in one of the top 100 public high school in the country.

However, I cannot find a single public basketball court in either neighborhood you mentioned, and I can see maybe one park per neighborhood that can each support 1 open space sports game which means my friends and I would have likely had no opportunity to find an open space to play a sport game when growing up due to how crowded parks are.

Add on the homeless problem here and it should come as no surprise my GF and I are planning on moving back to my midwest hometown once we start trying to have kids.

Sure, but the point is that nothing in your post was made possible by the automobile. People in walkable cities do everything you mention and they did all those things before the invention of the automobile.

If you build a suburb so that you need a car, then, sure, I guess you'll need a car. But that's not because any of those activities require a car. It's just that your town was built to require it!

If we put a dome over your town and sucked out all the oxygen, then you'd also need spacesuit to perform all those tasks, too. But it wouldn't be because any of those tasks require a space suit. You'd need the space suit because we sucked out all the oxygen.

I'm certain that the phenomenon of a widespread middle class is bizarre in the grand scheme of things. Exponential functions don't generally have a bulge in the middle of the curve. We had one for a few decades and may yet again for another few. In the long run, it's quite unlikely that capitalism can sustain an exponential curve of wealth yet have a bulge in the "middle class" section.
That's your opinion. What I am telling you is that it isn't consistent with cultural norms here. If you don't wish to use the disclaimer "IANAL" (I am not a lawyer) -- which I am spelling out because your comment says Imanal, which looks like gibberish to me -- then you are free to not use it.

But most people here aren't likely to agree with you.
It’s profitable when you don’t use Western electronic components und take parts designed for earlier generation phones. They are there, nobody wants them so you can get them cheaply.

Firstly if you feel like you have anxiety go see a professional, it helps. At the very least look up CBT.

1. You could fix this by changing your method of "learning", maybe you could do sketchnotes for things you learn if you are more visual or record yourself answering a pretend question about what you learned (i.e. explain to someone what a reflection in Java is.)

2. Nearly everyone in tech has impostor syndrome - let the recruiter or company decide you aren't skilled enough - if you think you aren't worthy you are holding YOURSELF back. Being a senior/lead dev doesn't mean being 2-10x quicker, neater etc. than a junior developer.

3. Hard to comment that the clock is ticking without knowing if you have a mortgage or family but as /u/slededit said life isn't linear and you are doing yourself a disfavor by acting like you are behind. I personally think I am behind of people who have traveled more even though I am doing very well in my career.

4. There was a comment here weeks ago about people painting vases - one class was told they have a month to paint a vase, the other class was told to paint one every day and then start again the next day - the ones who practiced everyday did it better. Accept that your first side-project won't be perfect in terms of SEO etc and give it a go. There aren't many tech-debt style things that you can stuff up with that you can't fix later down the track.

Just to finish, everyone feels like this - just take a break and reconsider whats important for you.
"Suburb" is a pretty generic term. My hometown has older, inner-ring suburbs that are built more or less on a street grid, with local shops, connections to transit, and walkable corridors.

It also has far-flung, residential-only, cul-de-sac communities where literally nothing is within safe walking distance. [0]

We call both "suburbs," but they're very different places.

There is an assumption that I actually want to interact with random members of the community. I don’t. Cars give me the freedom to choose my interactions and just generally be left alone. I don’t like waiting at bus stops, I don’t like having to watch my bag carefully or worry about forgetting things. I also don’t have to be exposed to whatever cold is making the rounds. I also don’t have to deal with psychotic, drug addicted homeless harassing me for money. Nor do I have to ride on a bus that makes twenty stops before it gets me to where I need to go. For me, cars represent freedom. If I want cold AC, I can do that. If I want to make a random diversion, I can do that too. Try to stop by Home Depot on the way home from work using public transit. Not only do you have to figure out the route and wait for the bus and possibly transfer and then tote whatever you buy back to a bus stop to do it all in reverse. If that makes me a bad person, then I am ok with that.

Yes: the closest it will come is 0.04 AU:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Solar_Probe

If one AU is 1 meter, 0.04 AU is 4 cm. So it's, roughly, if 3 feet is between the Earth and the Sun, the probe would pass by the Sun at one and half inch.

(It is obviously easier to think in metric units.)
This is also not true as of Windows 10 build 16299/Fall Creator's Update (what I'm currently using), and may not be true of an earlier release or two. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V both work just fine in cmd. I found evidence it was considered an "experimental feature" available in the Command Prompt's Properties dialogue back in 2015, it looks like it's been folded into the default behavior at this point.

Microsoft's done a lot of work on legacy components of Windows like cmd and notepad in the last few years, assumptions about behavior that has worked the same for the last twenty years may no longer be valid. ;)

Remember when Google once said “Don’t be evil” as their motto? Well what Google did at this instance and on nowadays is evil. But on the other hand, I think it is necessary, because at the end of the day Google is still a company that needs to make money and most importantly compete with each other, I’m really disappointed at Google to abuse their trust to hurt others.

How to Get America on the Mediterranean Diet
It's very very simple to understand, but I do recognise your name from your repeated and tireless defences of Google and the morally bankrupt spyware/online ad business. And once again I'll have to correct some misconceptions.

Samsung / Sony / etc are companies with a lot to lose, and they correctly calculated that "better the enemy you know". Their entire mobile business depends on a good relationship with Google, so it's blindingly obvious that they won't bite the hand that feeds them.

Internally, they're probably throwing parties that the big bully is punished by the headmaster.

> The only problem is there is no way to prove that that address actually belongs to the GRU.

Sure there is; for instance, you could have surveillance (video, keylogger, etc.) of the GRU officer at the GRU computer in GRU headquarters executing transactions on it.

> If you are Russian Military Intelligence about to hack the government of the United States, why would you include references and payment info related to your Bitcoin transactions in hundreds of emails? Surely just keeping track of the Bitcoin addresses on the blockchain would be enough since that is the entire point of the Blockchain.

Even if one grants that this is correct in some ideal sense, “government bureaucracy has operational staff proficient with new technology but imposes counterproductive documentation processes” is something literally no one would be surprised about int their own government.

> It is certainly possible that this is exactly what happened, but I think the American people deserve to see some evidence.

If Mueller files a report, and Congress decided to make it public, concerning the one subject of the investigation for whom normal criminal process is not likely to be the first response to any apparent crimes, and the evidence is directly germane to the findings of the report, the American people will have a legitimate right to demand the evidence.

If the indictment under discussion, or any other to which the allegation is necessary, goes to trial, the defendants will have a legitimate right—a Constitutional right—to demand the evidence.
Grand juries cannot even exist independent of a judge, let alone decide things of consequence like an indictment.
