n = 1 but my senior year of high school (which was recent-ish) I was put in a ton of freshman classes and it took more than a few phone calls to resolve it (I resolved it on my own without my parents' help).
I was great at trivia too until the number of tool combinations exploded exponentially. Now I don't bother, instead becoming a squishy LRU cache. Hiring managers don't care for this apparently.
First: you literally do not know what you're talking about here. There's no Commerce Clause issue, because California's waivers to continue developing stricter standards, and the option for other states to adopt those standards instead of the federal ones, do not present a Commerce Clause issue: Congress has explicitly enacted into federal statute the permission for all of this.

Second: you still don't know what you're talking about, because even if there weren't federal statute explicitly covering this, California's rules apply to cars sold in California. SCOTUS has never reliably pushed far enough into expansive Commerce Clause jurisprudence to be able to strike that sort of thing down, and never ever will (hint: because doing so would create a legal precedent for federal gun control to pre-empt more-permissive state-level gun laws, something the Court's conservatives will never allow a hint of a possibility of a thought of an option of a shadow of a consideration of...).

Third: cherry-picking Commerce Clause cases is a really bad way to make an argument. SCOTUS has been all over the damn place on the Commerce Clause at different points in US history, and you can ultimately find a Commerce Clause case to justify basically anything you want to say, which is why any given example tends to be pretty meaningless as an argument.
There is a large enough quality divide between TV speakers and an AV system with wired speakers to allow for a soundbar to be both an order of magnitude better than TV speakers and also an order of magnitude worse than the AV system.
The Apple III had a 100% failure rate because Steve Jobs personally insisted that it have neither cooling fans nor vents.
As a semi-academic, practice supervision sounds like a horrible use of limited teacher/classroom time. But I guess that is true at the high end (in universities and higher performing kids) but not at the lower end where professional practice supervision is much more necessary.

> Daily / weekly / monthly plain text email or emailed spreadsheet is way better.

Setting up a Grafana dashboard is a lot easier than setting up crons that send emails. Auth is built in, including OAuth.

It's also trivial to have your data adjust to time bounds that you can change on the interface.

> when the underlying numbers change, they can change the figures for the past and there won't be a record of it.
Any important numbers should be graphed on a time series chart, and you won't have to track down emails and compare across different tabs.
It's not a technical or even standards setting problem. IIRC there's already a RFC for DHCP announced login webpage. It's business and legal - layer 8 and 9 problems.

Operating system maintainers have added captive portal detection to improve user experience. Hotspot owners often sabotage captive portal detection by whitelisting Apple and Google's CPD URLs! AAPL & GOOG have to change these URLs periodically and 802.11 vendors add the new ones in a cat and mouse game. So the customer's phone and thus customer think they're connected but they end up hitting a CP. Why? Because the CPD browser will close immediately upon receiving unencumbered Internet access. While many just want the legal liability limiting I Agree button to be tapped, many others owners want customers to see their store promotion/ad flyer page for longer than a second, place a tracking cookie, and do other value adds.

The interests of Wi-Fi network operators and users are not aligned. Right now only equipment manufacturers directly profit off Wi-Fi service. Hotspot owners can only indirectly earn money through attracting more hotel guests, cafe customers, etc. Some now harvest customer MAC address and in-store walking behavior. Ideally hotspot owners could receive a revenue share for offloading traffic from LTE, which would give them an incentive to be more loyal to users and maintain quality of experience.

I mean, you can.

But the heavily flawed PKI is rapidly improving from the dumpster fire it has been. The glaring 'blindly trust every CA to never go rogue' problem is on the edge of being solved, with browsers beginning to require CAs to submit all new certificates to Certificate Transparency logs in order to be accepted. Attackers would have to either compromise multiple targets in detectable ways, or publicly disclose their forged certificate to the world before they can use it, at least once the older certificates from the dark ages of 2017 have all expired in a few years.
Similarly, my 2012 Air (8gb RAM, 500gb SSD) is working just fine, and I could probably get quite a few more years out of it.

It astonishes me how well that old laptop does what I need, considering any laptop from 2006 or 2004 would have been slow as molasses in 2012, and total garbage today.
Commerce Clause jurisprudence is all over the place. For any given Commerce Clause case you pick as your example of how it's "gone too far this time!" (or "not gone too far enough!"), there'll be another one you can pick that's exactly the opposite.

Even the same general panel of judges will about-face on it sometimes.
You're saying they don't follow SOLID? ;)

> No, you cannot be charged literally without evidence. A judge would throw the case out, and likely censure or sanction the prosecutor.

Of course you can. All that's required is someone allege there is evidence establishing probable cause. Perhaps that so-called evidence has a perfectly innocent explanation that the person making the allegations is unaware of or choses to ignore. Perhaps the person making the allegations is mistaken. Perhaps they are even lying.

And sure, lack of evidence is grounds for getting cases thrown out. However, you need to make that case first. That requires time, representation and usually the services of a private investigator. The judge is not going to make that case for you.

Even if you get baseless charges thrown out, prosecutors are very rarely sanctioned.
What did people use these for in real life? Were they essentially toys or were there peripherals that made them useful for solving problems?
I think this is asked to see if the applicant has dreams and ideas that go beyond the status quo. Can they "think big"?

Besides, someone with big goals needs the right motivation. How much more exciting is someone whose dream is to save the world climate because he loves polar bears than someone whose dream is to lie lazily on the beach and drink cocktails?
> The trial was terminated last week when an independent committee overseeing the research discovered that more babies than expected were being born with lung problems.

I heard one of the researchers on the radio. What I understood from it is they decided to abort the trial before the mortality rate became statistically relevant. However they had indicators there was a chance it would.

I feel like the article is a bit sensational. Could anyone with more knowledge then me shed some light on this?
That it's not confusing if you clarify your definition of "nation." A nation is simply a group of people with common origin, tradition, and language.
HTTP is simple enough I can literally create a barebones semi-compliant HTTP server from scratch. If all it has to do is serve some static pages, I can do this in ~1000 lines or less. I don't need any infrastructure beyond basic TCP/IP. Can't say the same about HTTPS.
Venmo's "friend feed" I believe is perhaps the singular reason Venmo succeeded where others have failed.

However, I don't totally get the point of the public feed. The only thing I can think is that it showed new/light users that Venmo had a lot of activity and ideas for when to use Venmo (ie, if you saw a message from strangers "Payback for lunch" it would plant the seed to use Venmo for such).

If the user is so paranoid about this sort of stuff, then they can go get a VPS and control a large chunk of the network for themselves.

For everyone else, its a game guide. The worst that can happen is that they get the wrong information about how Trains work in Factorio. There wouldn't be a need for me to track users or clicks or whatever in a hypothetical game guide community website.

As I stated before: I know some game communities (ie: Minecraft or Eve Online) can be toxic. But the Factorio community isn't like that. So I'd be comfortable hosting a Factorio webpage under HTTP.

If I were hosting a Minecraft or Eve webpage however (warning: toxic community ahead), then I'd host it under HTTPS due to the dastards who troll and harass others in that community.

----------

That's the more important part btw: understanding your audience. Some game communities are toxic and full of harassers, trolls and so forth. But other communities are lax, friendly, and can get away with lesser amounts of security.

I wouldn't consider VPS providers part of "the cloud". You simply rent a (virtual) server. With AWS and the like, you pay for their automation of services. You don't need to manually deploy load balancing, CDNs, DDoS mitigation, security hardening, and the like. The big pitch is that you're paying a bit more in order to phase out your IT team.

Muslims vs. Free Speech
I'm uncertain exactly what the next major war will be like or who the sides will be, but I was thinking of a war like Syria but in a developed country. Perhaps you'd have Jesusland vs. Union of Socialist States of America vs. the Neoconfederacy vs. Ecotopia vs. The Reconquista vs. Sovereign Citizens vs. drug cartels vs. Steel Glory vs. Greater Canada against the backdrop of Central American refugees in North America. Or Cosmopolitan London vs. Hail Britannia vs. Neo-Luddites vs. Scotland vs. Ireland in the British Isles. Or whatever the fissures are in Russia or China.

One observation about the Syrian Civil War (and Iraq and Afghanistan) is that large areas of the country became extremely dangerous, because everyone was fighting over them and you often couldn't see the adversary or know who you were fighting. Another is that supply lines were quite vulnerable; forces could hole up in a military base and be relatively safe, but to continue operations in the field, they needed food/ammo/fuel, all of which needed to be transported at significant risk. A third was that whichever force brought security to a region and stopped the fighting there often won political power, because a majority of people don't care who rules them, they just want to not die.

Drones + self-driving supply lines would allow a belligerent to fortify & disperse their own industrial and operations base, well out of contested zones, and then project power at zero risk to their own lives into disputed areas. If the drones are smart enough (i.e. minimize civilian casualties but can easily detect and eliminate belligerents), they're also likely to win political points for eliminating combatants.
One interesting thing I didn't know is that the US social security payments (old age pension) is much more generous than in Canada.

Even with fully contributions, the maximum you can receive in Canada is $1,100 per month. In the US, it's $2,800 per month. The US program is much larger than in Canada.

From repeated use?

I knew at least one person who was a tripped out mess every time I saw them.

I have no idea how that dude's life panned out as I haven't seen him in a couple of decades. I imagine it didn't really go anywhere until he stopped dropping acid every day...

Some people report HPPD from repeated use.

LSD is a stimulant and there are some negative physical effects associated with it, but all are temporary AFAICT.
the other way works too. any developer should be able to discuss at length the compromises made and the weak aspects of any project. every piece of software has a long list of potential improvements in clarity, verification, efficiency, generality, etc.

when I first heard the term 'technical debt', I thought it was fantastic that we had a shared name. but as someone else pointed out in this thread, the normal compromises one makes because of schedule and lack of importance are really a different thing entirely than a codebase that is failing structurally.

normal compromises can be ignored, and often aren't even compositional. thats the kind of linear, easily repairable stuff I think should be called 'debt', and it isn't scary at all. you overcome it at some later date when and if it makes sense. maybe debt isn't the right word, because you aren't borrowing failure from some abstract ideal, you're just choosing to trade of time for quality, which every effort in every field has to do.

structural issues that compound exponentially, and make it increasingly difficult to make any changes at all are a different thing (call it 'crippling debt', idk). its a metastatic cancer and can easily be fatal.
In a perfect world they may be right, but externalities, government subsidies of incumbent tech (directly or indirectly), and network effects completely destroy and hope of a real free market. And if global warming is really as bad as they say it is then those externalities are basically uncalculable, skewing the equation far far more.
> Then, about 3 years ago, App Engine seemed to be Docker-only App Engine

No, when the Flexible Environments were introduced (the Docker-based ones), Standard continued.

> Now there are the App Engine "Standard Environment" which is in "Beta" and the "Flexible Environment" which is GA.

Standard Environments are mostly GA, what is in beta appears to be the new second-generation Standard Environments (Node.js 8 has been in beta, and now the newly announced Python 3.7 and PHP 7.2 are in some nonpublic pre-GA state.)
I got my 15" 2.6Ghz i7 model yesterday and I love it.

Obviously there are issues as many have reported but I am using this for iOS and Android development and this thing is a good 30-45% faster for builds compared to my top-spec 2017 model. The Android emulator starts up (cold boot not from save state) faster as well (just measured it at 9 seconds to boot a Nexus 5X API 28 AVD vs 16 seconds on my 2017 i7).

Once things have settled down a bit I will look into things again but I am in no rush to start modifying firmware values when, for my needs, everything is great.

For those interested the new keyboard is a little "softer" and quieter. My wife commented on how different it sounds. I would say it sound similar to a Dell XPS 15 or ThinkPad T480 in terms of how loud it is.

The TrueTone option for the display is lovely for programming imho. Really nice little new feature. Other than that not much has changed externally though. It is still a very nice machine and I hope Apple tweaks things to address the thermal throttling people are seeing. For development though it is a dream.

Edit: Seems Apple has released an update to fix this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17603063

While Apple's not blameless in the matter, this seems to be more of an Intel issue no?

It appears the i9 isn't a good fit for thin and light laptops (Apple's also not the only one using the i9 in this form factor). Of course, a laptop using this i9 and properly cooling it is not going to be small or pretty[1].

Getting back to Apple, there are a couple of ways of looking at this.

For people who are bursting (as opposed to doing long running sustained loads) the i9 is probably the fastest Macbook Pro you can get. For people who are using optimized media apps like FCP, this is also not necessarily a bad buy, since you'll likely reap the benefits of the faster CPU.

For people who are doing sustained loads and/or running non-optimized apps like Premiere, this is probably not a good Macbook Pro to buy. For people who care a lot about getting advertised baseline clock rates, irrespective of bottom line performance gains, this is also not the Macbook Pro to buy.

For some, it's an easy choice, and for others, it's complicated.

Insisting on using the same chassis design for i9, dGPU packin' models is like a person not having a summer wardrobe and inappropriately wearing winter clothes all year round.

It ain't clever and people are going to notice.
The incentive for retailers is to provide as little post-sales support as they can get away with, margin has nothing to do with it. Also, online stores don't tend to "advise" customers.
>or even highly rated headphones

Won't that highly depend on the location you put your AV system in? You basically need a dedicated area with decent acoustics if you want to beat good quality headphones. For non-audiophiles like me a good pair of headphones seem like a much more rational investment.

Of course if it's about watching movies or TV then headphones are not always practical, but then for that I admit that I don't care much about audio fidelity beyond using cheap-o dedicated speakers instead of the TV's builtin set.
People that use Linux and people who frequent Linux related websites don't necessarily have a lot in common. I use Ubuntu daily, couldn't care less for what some zealots have to say on Reddit. I use it because it's the least wrong platform, not because it's FOSS.
You're right, it is dependent on your perspective. Go is intended to be unsurprising to developers who want to just be able to look at code and have a good idea of what it does. Punctuation is very useful to get rid of ambiguity.

Contrast this with a language like Ruby which tries very hard to make punctuation optional, and often ends up with ambiguous cases where you aren't 100% certain how the interpreter will parse some code and so you end up throwing in all the punctuation anyway.

But are you willing to risk 20 years to prove you're innocent?

Assuming 20% of innocent people get convicted are you willing to risk the rest of your life?

I've only known 3 people who've been to jail and 2 of the 3 was innocent. Not in a they maintained there innocence way. But in a there was proof they were innocent. They just weren't able to get a hold of that proof until after they were convicted.
Yeah I thought this too until I ran afoul of things. Right before SoL expired my old state said I owed them for 3 years of taxes going back 5 years previous.

At that point I no longer had much documented proof I had really (legitimately) moved - since I had moved back to original state by then. Sworn statements from employers/colleagues/etc. weren't enough, and to fight it would have cost more than the amount "due".

In the end I paid it, with the state tax representative even outright stating "I might even believe you, but it's going to cost you more to fight us in court over it than just paying". And right he was.

I learned some lessons about record keeping - but the fact I needed to "prove my innocence" vs. the other way around was absurd.

So, had to re-read that article just in case there was new information, but even if all the speculation is true (probably) this does not support the claim that USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UK and France are the most aggressive cyber-combatants. Stuxnet was a targeted attack which accomplished a defensive goal. It is also unlikely that Saudi Arabia, the UK nor France had anything to do with this attack nor are there any claims of NATO support for the development of Stuxnet.

Meanwhile Russia is actively targeting political systems worldwide through social media and misinformation while also stockpiling latent backdoors and probably more.
