Well a great transit system would really increase living options for those who need to work in cities.

In Boston we're choking in part because its very difficult to get around, thus driving prices up significantly anywhere the commute is half way decent.
The big test would be server mode to take on Windows Server. Samba and WAMP.
If using a Mac, it’s pretty easy to encrypt a drive and store it in Dropbox, then mount it when you want to use it. Kind of negates the whole point of Dropbox (mobile access, small sync etc) but I started doing it for more sensitive things.

Doesn’t require any 3rd party addons.

I really can’t believe they shared this data. Universities do work for businesses all the time. Imagine a folder of research subjects organized by geo/age/sex then full patient name or SSN, under a folder called HIV survey or something. I mean really?
There are at least two U2F keys I was able to find on Amazon which were under $10 USD:

> In my department, students make about $40K/year as a base salary.

That's incredibly high as a base rate! Most departments I know pay between $28k and $32k. The only people I know at $40k have an NSF fellowship.
1) Practically speaking, that wouldn't happen.
2) Ask yourself how ethnocentrism and nationalism led to that genocidal outcome. Could we have instead invited the native americans to work together in a democratic system? Imagine the possibilities.
3) If you're the minority in the world, what justifies you keeping others down?
4) Why are Central and South Americans leaving their homes? Investigate the brutal CIA coups, military invasions, arms dealing, and drug smuggling the united states has inflicted on this hemisphere since before the Monroe Doctrine. If we stopped destroying whole societies, we might not have to clean up our own messes.

EDIT: Also, our institutions have been shown by recent history to be a complete farce. Maybe new people would rebuild them better without the taint of authoritarianism, hierarchy, and corruption.
One day it may well run the Linux subsystem.
My grandmothers news options didn't manifest in any unexpected way in the past. Nothing to do with my wishes.
So much FUD.
I think you're being a bit unreasonable. Are you really suggesting that anybody in the world who wants to walk into the USA should be allowed to? It seems like that nullifies the existence of the nation itself. Why have a border? Why have a military to protect that border?

Also, the freedom of movement is not a blanket statement. It does not, for instance, grant me permission to move into your house.
Maybe. Implementation details and specific use cases matter a lot now.
A friend lost a significant amount of money to what could have been this scam. The MO fits (posing as the IRS, threatening with arrest/deportation, collecting payments via gift cards).

The article mentions restitution. Does anyone know how he could find out if he's eligible?
Nice to see some great cooperation with all those groups.

You might want to be careful with Ambien and airplanes.

A U.S. intelligence worker on a flight back to the U.S. from an assignment overseas tried to dynamite a plane while on Ambien.

You seem to be focused on the idea of fairness in the justice system, so let me try to rephrase part of the problem here. Without the plea system the justice system would grind to a crawl as there would be no incentive for anyone to ever admit guilt. That would lead to innocent people sitting behind bars for even longer as they await a trial because they either weren't offered bail or couldn't afford it. Much less has to go wrong for those people compared with the numerous failures that would need to result for an innocent person to be convicted and sentenced.

So, if not by price, how exactly would you allocate the most desirable housing?

The obvious choices look awful: lottery, first-come-first-served (sucks for newcomers), bribes (realistic)...?

I have to be honest, I was expecting a list of things that Windows actively did wrong (e.g. phoning home) and why Linux is a better choice for people on that basis.

This is not really five reasons to switch to Linux, it's five things that Linux has finally gotten to be as smooth or smoother than Windows. That's quite a sales pitch right there!

I like Linux, I've used it extensively in the past, and I mostly run software that is cross-platform already. And if I didn't like games so much I would probably have switched a long time ago (circa Ubuntu initial release). But if you want Windows users to switch you gotta offer more than "You don't need to use a terminal and we have Spotify now!"
Dang, I liked wasting these guys time. My technique was to pause as long as possible while obviously stuffing my face with Cheetos and telling them hang on
Id separate houses from land. Its probable that housing as a construction is not that much higher than the cost of bulding it. Land is where prices go up without individual investment.

Finally. I've been harassed by those idiots for almost a year. How did it take so long?
Sleep eating and sleep driving are two common behaviors exhibited while using Ambien. In that case, these two were likely combined.
So you leave it plugged in all the time?
It's a very reasonable assumption for anyone who's been around cars for more than a decade of their lives. Electrical systems in most consumer-grade vehicles have rarely been able to exhibit the kind of reliability expected of most of the other nontrivial moving parts.
> Here are a few apps that launched in the past 3 years that hit number one in the App Store for at least one day:

Sarahah
TBH
FaceApp
Hooked
Face Swap Live
Live.ly

This was listed to say that there's still a chance for consumer apps, but I haven't heard of any of them except perhaps Face Swap, don't care what they are by their names, and none of them seem to have hit it big. So the example supports the opposite opinion.

> Not to be outdone, the folks at Joya Communication released 6 different apps (Cleo Video, FlipLip, Any Video, Evercam, Joya Video, Video Gems) in 3 years before landing on their 7th, the hit app Marco Polo. And that was also on on a single round of funding with a similar small team.

This is a great expectation-setter. I have heard of, used, and built a similar product to Marco Polo. It's great to hear how hard they worked, in such a short time, with a small team. This gives me the best perspective of how difficult, but possible, startups are.
Two other conspirators in Illinois were sentenced in February to between two years to just over four years for conspiracy, and a third person in Arizona was given probation in a plea agreement, it said.

Sounds like the Prisoner’s Dilemma paid off for that third person.
Dropbox sharing your data without consent? Nothing new. I've been using dropbox paper for a year now and only recently found out that by default all docs are shareable. That means, if you log into dropbox -> open a dropbox-paper doc -> Logout you're not safe. Anybody with your browsing history can re-access the document you've been working on even after you log out. So essentially if you're using dropbox paper on a shared computer or on a public/library computer and logout, people will still have accesss to your docs that you've worked on. Only way to turn this off, is to manually click the 'invite' button and uncheck the share option for each and every document seperately. I had some personal/sensitive info on a few docs and was shocked to learn of this. Completely unacceptable from dropbox!

Good work, now go after those "extended warranty" people.
This response is going to sound like a joke but it isn't: be sure to tell him that they won't call him to discuss restitution. It's extremely common for scammers to sell the list of their successful "buyers". Marks on the IRS scam lists will now be called by people saying "we are from the IRS scam restitution department, just need your bank details so we can return your money..."
Greed is a complex and consuming emotion, don't underestimate it's ability to ensare people.
That's true only of devices that don't convert the energy into work(motors), light(LEDs) or other voltages(transformers). All other electronics convert all the power into heat. Basically any computer is a heater that so happens is able to do math as well. Energy is consumed for doing a computation but it's 6-7 orders smaller than what the heat produced
My experience does not agree with what you wrote in your last paragraph. Writing code as a computer scientist is equivalent to doing lab work as a biologist or to building instruments as an experimental physicist. You can't do research in CS if you don't get your hands dirty, unless your research in theoretical computer science. In exchange for this, many doors open to you after you finish your PhD that would otherwise be closed (unless you did your research in theoretical computer science). And among the best and the brightest that I met in industry, many are in fact PhDs.
Do you think it makes sense to resubmit with the link?

I use Yubikeys to store my GPG and SSH private keys. This way even if my laptop gets 0wned, the attackers won't be able to get my private keys. It basically is a more convenient form factor then using a Smartcard (which was how I had previously stored by GPG / SSH keys).
> there is no obligation to keep things working for the.

You opened with the correct observation that APIs are mostly for people. Saying there is no obligation here contradicts the expected social norms. And even more importantly, intent does not tightly correspond with reality, and what can happen, tends to happen. The actual code actually existing always has the final say. If you intend to have the best outcome for everyone involve, conform to the unalterable realities as much as possible - if the interface should be public, make it public. If the interface should be private, make it private.
Understanding Word Embeddings
Not sure what you mean? Correct evaluation (modulo some negligible error) is part of the usual FHE definition.
The only problem is that the IPO filings only have information about the number of employees at filing time, but not historically.
They can do whatever they want with it but you have no obligation to maintain nor support it if it’s not a documented public API, in my opinion.

It’s a bit like a house on a corner with a big front yard. People may cut through the grass to save time but you can’t blame the homeowner when he finally puts up a fence.
A cursory Google search indicates there are Indian savings accounts that return 7%. That would be a pretty good year in the stock market over here.
> 2 contractors in India involving five call centers in Ahmedabad, a city in western India, have been indicted on wire fraud, money laundering and other conspiracy charges as part of the operation, the department said. They have yet to be arraigned, it said.

Is there any realistic chance of Indian law enforcement catching up with these guys?
That was pretty much the reason.
Why I can't recommend Clean Architecture by Robert C Martin
I am suggesting that. I think that perhaps we might want to check for certain types of criminal charges, but we are seeing in real time how that is abused. However, yes, the concept of nations, standing armies, and the whole lot is built on hierarchy, deprivation, and violence, and undemocratic process. We should be working towards a world in which borders are not necessary, or at least, expand that zone maximally up to the teeth of imperialist enemies that would try to take it from us.

Socialists are not coming for your toothbrush. We ask for a world in which people are free to live and work where they please. A world where people are not thrown in cages or separated from their families because they cross an invisible line. We don't need to walk into your personal space to have that, but if we did for some reason, hi, how are you doing? :)
Had a degree, a spouse, a house, had done some traveling, nominally I was moving along in my career but I was impatient, restless, and unhappy with it. Was trying to figure out how to get a side hustle started.

At 40, my advice to a 25 year old would be:
-- Considered carefully the life-changing nature of marriage and children.
-- Invest well and live frugally. Even if money comes to you, continue to live within as small a budget as possible.
-- Eat well and exercise. This should not be underestimated.
-- Seek career opportunities not just based on income, but also on the connections and experiences it can give you.
-- Consider going abroad. There's a big world out there, not only for travel but also for career opportunities.
-- There is no time like the present to undertake your life's work.
There is no way this was all the scammers. Don't worry about it!
I had left the Peace Corps, started grad school and met my on my 25th birthday. Advice? Don’t worry about the future so much, don’t get buried in comparisons to others, and find work that is meaningfully involves your mind and spirit
IMHO the source code is an example of good C style, and certainly quite pleasant to read --- no excessive verbosity, gratuitous indirections, PretentiouslyCapitalisedObscenelyLongIdentifiers, unnecessarily huge indents, or any of the other annoyances I tend to find with more "modern" source code. With the exception of a few minor stylistic choices I would've done differently, it's extremely close to my preferred source style.

Unfortunate that it isn't quite completely C89 (in particular regarding placement of variable declarations), since C89 compilers are much simpler than C99 ones and otherwise a compiler course could've been created around writing a compiler (and assembler) that can compile itself, Xv6, and then itself run inside Xv6 --- to become a self-contained, self-bootstrapping OS.

Kitboga, over on Twitch[1], frequently livestreams the experience of talking to people executing IRS scams. Among other types of computer scams like "unlock your computer for X dollars," it's fascinating to listen in on the tactics used to prey on unassuming victims.

The meme that an effective carbon tax would ruin entire economies is pretty much just scaremongering. For a brief period in Australia's recent history, we had a carbon tax with quite a moderate impact economically which measurably reduced our carbon output.

The other point I'll make about huge big-bang projects is that in recent decades they've only ever been achieved by authoritarian regimes that don't need the kind of consensus that kills such projects in western democracies. We live in a world where a significant fraction (perhaps majority?) of the citizenry is largely ignorant, anti-science, distrusts authority, believes in outrageous conspiracy theories and lacks the ability to form coherent thoughts about most things. I put it to you that your chance of getting a large-scale geo-engineering project supported by that majority at a direct cost to them (a cost that can't be moderated by behaviour changes by the way) is practically zero outside an outright dictatorship.
I know right! It should be about hotdogs instead.

At 25, I was working at an awesome financial firm making great money. I spent a lot of it repaying student loans and building my 401k, but because I was single, I had enough to go out all of the time. I thought I'd never move out of the city (I didn't think I could afford to, and I didn't think that Dallas had the same job opportunities). That made me sad.

Advice? Find a job that will pay you to travel out of college (i.e. go into consulting). Your career trajectory will go up, you'll still make great money, you'll develop a lot of experience and you'll save A TON of money along the way.
None. Especially from that state, Gujarat. Home of corporate and financial crime. Sagar Thakkar fled to East Europe last year after netting $300 MM. It is upto FBI too pull its weight.

Yeah, if only there were a way to monitor battery voltage, and not engage the start/stop system if the electrical system has issues. That might cut down on the massive amounts of people complaining about the very scenario you mention.

How are those choices different from money? The money version is only more liberating if you're rich. First-come-first-serve does suck for newcomers, but do they have a right to displace someone that has lived there forever on a whim? It's not obvious at all. It would make sense to attempt to build enough to keep people moving though.

Safety, Security and PPA Tradeoffs
There's so much to be said about the topic. Its a universal topic like food, pretty much everybody can connect over a fitness discussion. We inherit so much research and equipment. Arnold Schwarzenegger had to invent his own gym equipment, likewise somebody came along and figured out the Russians were getting huge results with kettlebells, all this knowledge and equipment just right there waiting for us. David Belle crafted freerunning, there's all these climbing gyms and knowledge, if your really ambitious you can learn the fun ariel moves from the wushu guys. Really amazing if you take it all in.
Most remote desktop apps have a form of USB passthrough. And I believe you can also do this in a variety of ways with ssh plus some combo of libusb.
Not unless you stop them rotting after they die. I’m sure there are actual experts with better proposals but turning them into charcoal/terra preta and using that as a soil growth promoter works as dies leaving wood in salt water until it ceases to be buoyant and then dumping it in the deep ocean.

>> Dropbox gave us access to project-folder-related data, which we aggregated and anonymized[...]

Wait, Dropbox gave away non-anonymized data to a third party and they then anonymized it. Wow, what could go wrong? Just thinking of the endless possibilities of where all that data is now... Its deeply troubling how much unwarranted trust there is when it comes to handling of personal data.
Yeah, that's the big issue with Electron. The "Micro" came from my original plan for it, which was to have a super small python script generate static notepad pages for you to visit in your browser. Obviously that's no longer the case.
Also currently 25, and working tech support at an eCommerce company. I wish I had done more coding earlier on, but I've also matured a lot more because of the path I chose. I also understand technology as a whole, and I'm not in college debt.

The position I'm in involves some basic coding, but it has the possibility for more involved work. I can understand the fulfillment you're speaking of, which is another reason I chose a different path. Life's a balance. There's no right answer to this, but I'm sure OP and ourselves will find our way.
Ad Hoc Profiling
While pixel density is good, there is no substitute for pixel size ie, larger sensors. Hence the full-frame 35mm and larger sensors will always produce better images. I have a Sony RX100 and its images are superb for a pocket camera -- a combination of the 1 inch sensor and fine Weiss glass.

I studied photography before digital and the same was true then: larger formats equalled higher quality particularly for landscape and scenes with specular reflections. The reason was explained to me like this: there is a tree with shiny leaves and these leaves have specular reflections (reflecting the sun directly) so there are extremely small but very bright points of light. These specular reflections hit the film/sensor and spread around a bit. If the grains/pixels are small the highlights will spill into adjacent grains/pixels and reduce sharpness.
I'm guessing a better understanding of BDNF and other growth factor proteins would help.
I don't disagree, I posted it because it deserved to be widely panned.

I don’t want money in exchange for my data. I just want genuine anonymity except where I say otherwise.
Does WINE work in WSL?
A lot of the Indian scammers have moved on to pretending to be the CRA (Canada revenue agency), the Canuck version of the IRS. Toronto and Vancouver area codes are plagued by robodialers connecting to fake cra scam call centers. Canada has a lot less resources than the US to spend manpower investigating and building cases with the Indian law enforcement agencies.
