>$200,000 in tournament jackpots.

I have never played jackpot tournaments. If I understand correctly it's you get a jackpot from winning several sit&go tournaments in a row. I don't know how the money there is divided.
"Active church member" tends to imply more than just attending. The statement could reflect religious bias or just mean Russell was seen as a dependable member of his community.
Yes, it seems like it would make sense for the Democratic party to sponsor efforts to get more voter ID's for more potential voters in states where such laws exist or are likely to exist.

No, I'm not really aware of any major efforts concentrated on helping people get appropriate ID. Voter registration drives are common, but the ones I've noticed put the emphasis on registering otherwise eligible voters rather than increasing the pool of eligible voters.

I wonder how cost effective a "free driver's license" charity would be at creating eligible voters. It wouldn't even have to be directly supported by a political party, but by targeting a particular demographic it would likely be quite effective in creating new voters of a particular type. And unlike straight voter registration drives, getting a driver's license gives other direct benefits to the recipient.
If policy makers are concerned about potential regressive effects, they could take the revenue earned and apply it towards helping the poor. One "easy" method is lowering the bottom tax bracket - in the US they could cut the explicitly regressive payroll tax.
And all this not because they want to change the world, but because they want to sell colored sugared water?

Check any agreements you have with your company they may contain wording that anything you create is their IP or other restrictions.

Keep your focus on your family and on your day job.

There are hours here and there when your family is asleep or busy that you can put that time in to building products. If you enjoy this type of work you can build your own products instead of watching TV two hours a night. Follow Rob's stair step approach. Like DHH says it's still hard, but it's definitely doable.

Good luck.
The intent here is if you lost your ID, but I guess if you're willing to have additional screening and waste your time, go for it. It's also a risk that they can't confirm your identity.

"If we can confirm your identity, you’ll be cleared to go through security, and you may or may not have to go through some additional screening."

That's also just the TSA. You'll still have to convince the carrier to let you board without an ID.

"Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel." They do so you "may" be able to travel if you forgot your ID.

That's a different story. Externalities should be taxed to the extent of the cost of the externality to society (if not outright banned, which is not practical for most common externalities like running a combustion engine, breathing, etc.).

But pure sin taxes like soda/gambling/recreational drug taxes, where an individual is only affecting themselves, are effectively the government and busybody supporters of the policy playing god of morality. I've actually heard people suggest that drinking soda or using pot is an indirect externality as a result of the potential to 'change' users, and that its indirect effect on society via people's free association with such things is a justifiable externality. That implies that society is entitled to aspects of a person actions and characteristics outside of their lawfulness. It's a very socialist and anti-individualist argument, which I disagree with on a fundamental level.

Now for cigarettes, on the other hand, there are two potential externalities to tax. 1. The smoke that affects anyone near the user. 2. The addictive factor (nicotines), which is an externality against its users created by (and the tax should be applied to) the manufacturer.

Not to mention all the environmental externalities that should be applied at each stage of the supply and manufacturing chain due to fuel/processing/chemical effects on the environment/energy used/etc. However, these are common to all externalities, and if I had my way I would tax externalities in a direct and systematic way like this across the board, such that the tax is sufficient for the government to "undo" the externality. If there is no feasible way to undo it, it should be illegal.
Look, some attacks are just going over the RFC, finding each MUST in the text (or MUST NOT or a SHOULD that really should have been a MUST, etc.), understanding that this "MUST" means (usually) a requirement for the presence of an "if" statement in the code [1], and then looking for that if statement in the code.

If it is possible to interoperate with real world endpoints (basically Apache on openssl 1.0.2 and IIS on SChannel on latest Windows for servers, Chrome and MSIE as clients) with a codebase that lacks that if statement, someone has deployed in production a codebase that lacks this if statement. So unless someone already found it (that someone is probably Hanno Böck), you're going to be the first to find it.

Now you can look for protocols that use the same construction as other protocols but did not copy-paste the MUST sentence. If the spec forgot to say the MUST sentence, you're going to find many more implementations that lack the corresponding if statement.

1 - instead of an if statement, sometimes it means "fill this buffer by reading X bytes from /dev/urandom" but the code just does memset with 0.

Not Spring Boot. Spring Boot is a framework for implementing a server side application. For example you use Spring Boot to implement a RESTful server side application including persistence and security. You do not use Spring Boot to write an HTTP server, instead Spring Boot uses an existing HTTP server.
I think you’re arguing a point that isn’t being made.
Clearly it works really well for politicians.
Or going the another way, why such faith in the climate fitters?

Global warming skepticism has got almost nothing to do with “climate denial PR campaigns” and everything to do with people having functioning BS detectors. To wit:

* lofty claims of certainty based on computer models that can’t be effectively tested with out-of-sample data

* argument relying on “consensus” of the scientific “community”

* unseemly behaviour of said community revealed in “climategate” emails

* second rate academic talent jumping on a career long gravy train

* stipulations by leftist politicians for concentration of vast powers to control the economy to fix the problem

* creeping attribution of all sorts of other problems as second order effects of warming

* rebranding if the language from “global warming” to “climate change”

* the ridiculous idea that “trusting science” is the same thing as trusting scientists. Nobody actually trusts scientists, they trust feedback loops and well-aligned incentives. Take those things away and the trust rightfully evaporates.

I love these examples:

Let's say you wanted to fill your bedroom up with water. How much water would it take? Let's say your room measures 10 feet by 12 feet wide by 8 feet high.

10 feet 12 feet 8 feet -> gallons
552960/77 (approx. 7181.298701298701)

It would take approximately 7181 gallons to fill it. Note that you get both an exact fraction and an approximation. (If you don't want to see the fraction, put a decimal point in any of the numbers, like 10. or 10.0.) How much would that weigh, if you filled it with water? Frink has the unit "water" which stands for the density of water.

10. feet 12 feet 8 feet water -> pounds
59930.84215309883

So it would weigh almost 60,000 pounds. What if you knew that your floor could only support 2 tons? How deep could you fill the room with water?

2. tons / (10 feet 12 feet water) -> feet
0.5339487791320047

So you could only fill it about 0.53 feet deep. It'll be a pretty sad pool party.

This sits firmly in the "Neat, and now I'm sad I don't have a practical use case for this"
The problem that scuttlebutt solves for me is that it works offline first. I can post and read past posts from my friends, or friends of friends, quite easily while on a plane, or at a cafe that doesn't supply internet. I can also block users that I don't like, or create entirely new networks for a specific problem such as the author suggested.
> I find it fascinating how difficult it is to find geological data.

Discoverability for openly released scientific datasets is a huge problem in general. While some enterprising folks have worked on adding parsers for scientific data formats such NetCDF and HDF5 to Apache Tika (which can then be indexed by Solr/Elasticsearch/whatever) [0], the vast majority of scientific file formats don't have parsers available. Even worse, in the climate of publish-or-perish, most scientists are unaware of or less likely to prioritize the incorporation of metadata extraction / indexing tools, even though these would make their data more readily searchable based on relevant metadata (such as equipment settings, etc).

I have some personal experience in this area- when I was working as a research assistant, I basically did helpdesk support for an open access dataset, answering questions from researchers at other institutions. I'd estimate that of the questions I received in my inbox, close to 70% could have been resolved with a good implementation of faceted search. A related issue I encountered is that rather than relevant metadata existing alongside a dataset, sometimes I'd have to dive into an article's methods section to find it, often in a weird place that wasn't obvious at first glance due to the obtuse writing style that is encouraged for scientific publications.

The bigger problem, however, is that the culture of science in academia right now puts way too much emphasis on flashiness over sustainability and admittedly non-sexy tasks like properly versioning and packaging scientific software, documenting analyses, and producing well-characterized datasets.

Not saying you are totally wrong but the federal income tax has been already existing for decades at this time and the max and min rates actually went down during the prohibition era (per wikipedia). It only went up in 1932 a year before its repeal following the start of the Great depression. If it was a goal of the prohibitionists to hike up that tax it was largely unsuccessful.
My mistake, and I am happy I made it. France is only in the 20% poorest US states, instead of being poorer than the poorest.

However I'm not sure you should celebrate that.
This is actually a very old notion that pre-dates social media, and even computers.

Back when long summer family road trips were the norm, a common saying was, "Eat where the truckers eat." Truckers were the Yelp influencers of the era.

Roadside diners, especially chains, would have oversized parking lots to attract truckers, which would then attract families. This was further capitalized on by the diners opening motels in back. (Think Howard Johnsons.) Or by other hospitality chains deliberately opening near popular diners. In a college marketing course, I remember it being noted that a certain hotel chain (Holiday Inn, maybe?) rarely did its own location research, and instead just opened across the street from every outlet of a particular diner chain (maybe Denny's) that it could.

To this day, motels and diners have a symbiotic relationship, though now probably for convenience reasons since, as you noted, people can find out about other options more easily on their smartphones.
This is tricky, because it's a very easy thing to convince oneself of, given the desire to do so. From my experience, I don't think that particular misinterpretation of the interference is unusually prevalent. In fact, it might even be less prevalent than "normal", considering how these things usually go. My pessimistic side expected far more calls of "Russia changed the votes!" than there are. What I've actually seen in news and conversations a surprising amount of the time is a more accurate definition of the scope of what did happen and what we don't know.

The theory of CO2-induced climate change is older and better-established than Relativity. It was also considered completely disproved for fifty years, by multiple independent lines of evidence. Clearly something happened to change everyone's mind, and it would probably do you some good to know about that, but the point is, it's not like there's some contradictory line of evidence that has gone unexamined. We've been trying to disprove this theory for twelve decades, and the actual scientific controversy ended at latest in the early 90s. At this point, the list of observations which would invalidate AGW is both very short and very nonsensical.

I am not sure why you are discussing a film. I would caution you against assuming that most people, particularly in this forum, are deriving their knowledge from a single film, as opposed to peer-reviewed articles, textbooks, or the IPCC reports. Personally, I consider this topic to be fairly important, especially given that I grew up in Alaska: climate change is an undeniable feature of the landscape there. I would agree that a lack of high-quality information on this subject is a problem. This is a resource that I would recommend:

Some final words from a professional quantitative portfolio manager
>What if there was solid data decisively showing that there were substantial externalities effectively being paid for by the public?

That's always a risky argument to engage in. Everything has externalities, whether it's "sinful" or not. For example, there are a lot of externalities that the public pays for in order to allow everyone to drive a car. Probably round 30% of the driving public should not be driving a car. In western countries, drivers licence programs are much more about babying idiots through the basics of car driving than they are separating the incapable and denying them access. I don't know anyone who has wanted a drivers licence and been refused one. I do know multiple people in multiple countries who have taken the test more than 3 times to get it.

For the moment, we still value granting people freedom of movement. A society where there are two classes, those who can move themselves and those who cannot, would be deeply undesirable to most of us.

I for one value the right of people to make their own life decisions. The notion that my tax money might be used to treat lung cancer or buy sturdier surgery tables for obese patients doesn't bother me. What the hell is the point of a health care system if not to isolate ourselves from the harsh realities of life that prevent us from enjoying ourselves?

I don't want to live in a society where there are two classes, those who can pay for private health cover and therefore drink as much as they want, and those who cannot and thus may not party too hard. That might sound a bit weird, but would you want to live in a society where if you can't afford private health care you're not allowed to cycle on public roads?

I'm always in favor of letting people making their own decisions and then supporting them no matter the consequences. When that cost is spread across an entire society, it's a pretty light burden. Could be lighter if we stop letting companies dodge taxes tho.
Surely connecting a camera directly to the goggles would give much better latency? An IR sensitive camera is just a normal CCD/CMOS camera with the IR filter removed (sometimes with a visible light filter instead).
To be fair though, a lot of the more advanced European countries have much lower corporate tax rates than the US does (or at least did). E.g. Sweden's is 22% and there's no state corporate income tax rate on top of that. In fact, the US was one of only a few highly developed countries with an above-average corporate income tax rate until the recent tax cuts, with higher tax rates than all of Europe, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. [1]. There are a lot of data indicating that low corporate tax rates do just as much if not more than low income tax rates to spur innovation/entrepreneurship.
