I believe that brookhaven_dude means that low US tariffs are good for US consumers because that keeps prices low for them. Whereas high foreign tariffs on US goods are in effect a tax on foreign consumers, meaning they get less for their money.
The data from UCAS would help distinguish between:

- Someone who accepted a place at Oxford

- Someone who was offered a place at Oxford, but went to Durham instead

It should also help distinguish those two from:

- Someone admitted to Oxford who decided not to go to university at all

However (and perhaps this is the problem you have in mind) the data set for this last category is likely to be very very small.

So perhaps the data can help to compare universities, but not whether going to university at all helps.

So if a robbery results in a 10 year sentence and a poor person makes $15,000 per year, that means the sentence costs the poor person $150,000, not adjusted for inflation. A rich person who makes $1 million per year would he. Need to serve less than 2 months then right?

If we are trying to use this socialist fine system, then that would necessarily result in shorter jail time for rich people because they are being “harmed” more proportionally.

These scaled punishments are absurd.

As a noob trying to start a career I ask.... at what point do you list things on your resume?

So I messed around on my own time with Python, PHP, and some other things but feel like I don't know them well. Do you still list it on your resume? At this point I don't because I feel like my knowledge isn't very strong in those areas.

I like the reddit and 4chan model. Content is clearly compartmentalized by topic with different rules for each subcommunity. Of course they are not totally free of moderation but it still allows a greater diversity of opinions with seemingly diametrically opposed groups existing side by side.

Many of the big social networks lack compartmentalization. On the other hand twitter demonstrates that it's not necessary, just helpful.

It also doesn’t help when you have high marginal costs. Spotify has to pay the record labels for each new user. The marginal cost of each new Google user was basically zero - of course costs go up as a step function, but the marginal cost is less than a rounding error.

I don’t know what the numbers are today, but back in the day, the guy in charge of Zune music said they were paying $8 per user for thier subscription music service.

Spotify is completely beholden to its suppliers - the record labels. They can and will squeeze every ounce they can get out of Spotify. Apple can afford to operate Apple Music at break even or a slight loss because it is just a feature to sell high profit margin hardware. That’s all Spotify has, it has to make a sustainable profit from streaming.

FYI Microsoft didn't bring the case, ICE did.

The main fact which a lot of people seem to be is he made these copies so he could sell them. The same ones you can get for free from Dell.

Clifford Lundgren pled guilty to conspiring to traffic in counterfeit goods, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2320(a)(1), and criminal copyright infringement, in violation of 17 U.S.C. § 506(a)(1)(A) and 18 U.S.C. § 2319(a) and (b)(1). Lundgren’s plea related to his role in a scheme in which he created and intended to sell about 28,000 copies of Dell reinstallation discs for Microsoft Windows, without permission from Microsoft.

He was making copies en masse in China then was shipping them back in an effort to resell them. I've read in various places the cost was in the neighborhood of 80K to make the copies. I'm not a business expert, but I don't know many people who put down 80K of their own money to create a product they're going to give away for free.

Customs intercepted the discs when they were shipped and started investigated what was going on.

Moderation is naturally a recognition-less job - If you do it right, nobody knows you've done anything at all

The problem comes in when others are doing the moderation in a negative way, because the good bar is set at "can't see what I did" every moderator gets lumped in with the bad moderators who dupe and close and offtopic everything for internet rep points

If it's recognition you're after being a SO or subreddit mod is not the way to get it

> Whereas high foreign tariffs on US goods are in effect a tax on foreign consumers, meaning they get less for their money.

When prices are higher, consumers buy less. So those foreign consumers are indeed getting less for their money- so they will buy less US Goods, reducing the money coming to US producers. Instead, those foreign consumers will buy local goods at lower prices.
"Had" would have worked and provided better sense of tense. "Put" is a pain in the ass when it comes to setting tense by itself.
As a nearly lifelong Parisian, bistros are often seen by locals as overpriced (for the quality you get) low-effort joints where you regularly get frozen microwaved food (which led to a huge backlash in recent years) that tastes like shit, burnt cardboard-tasting espresso, and house wine that — while cheap — is closer to vinegar than a halfway decent red. There are of course a few exceptions to this rule in each neighborhood in Paris but they're incredibly hard to distinguish if you're not from here, which is probably what gives most bistros a bad reputation.

The iconic Parisian bistro isn't dying, it's being thankfully renewed by younger chefs who don't take their customers for granted, are more welcoming to non-French-speaking tourists, and who showcase better and more seasonal products at a fairly reasonable price.

Check out David Lebovitz' review of Bouillon Pigale as a prime example of affordable quality joints we'll thankfully get more of in the years to come as old and busted bistros fade away: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/bouillon-pigalle-paris-restaur...

To the extent that "exposure" means "don't screw it up, probably", modern cameras are really helpful. To the extent that exposure means "Conscious control of motion blur, depth of field, etc", I find myself reverting back to manual, aperture priority, and shutter priority modes that have been around since the 1970s.
Not sure if it's your case, but the concept of "expensive" changes radically from when you are in school to when you have an actually paying job.

The audience is mentioned in article - it's dev kit for content creators. It's too bulky for general consumer market and there is not enough content yet. I suspect the current processing power will also be upgraded in final product for higher fidelity of 3D graphics.

So far the gaming industry was driver behind tech, but with augmented reality being so useful for industry (navigating warehouses, for example), this might change. The prices will drop, but I don't expect ML will be priced at <$1000 anytime soon.

Not necessarily. We could decide that being in jail prior to seeing a judge or magistrate that sets bail does not count as wrongful imprisonment; it's the period of time during which the state has to decide if they really want to follow through on charging this individual, and if so, wether or not they want to take the risk of wrongful imprisonment. We could say that only time after a judge or magistrate has made the bail or no-bail decision would count as wrongful imprisonment were the individual found innocent.

The time between arrest and bail hearing max out at a few days. Not great if you're innocent, but much different than the weeks to months before a trial.
Less Problems, Mo’ Money: Common Legal Landmines in Tech Startups
Such "asymmetric warfare" can be very effective: if defending costs much more than mounting an effective attack, then an underdog attacker can keep on bleeding the better-resourced defender or even eventually force the defender to give up.

The use of COTS drones might not become a trend though, since jamming/spoofing the GPS and the radio frequencies used would prevent the drones from being directed effectively. Customizing the drone radios would add to effort and costs, and require somewhat specialized skills.
It's been this way since the establishment of state-sanctioned copyright with the Statute of Anne in 1710. Only now, in the USA, the experiment to privatize everything has continued on.

Proponents will argue you can own your own site, so long as the hosting is okay with what you say, you can run your own hardware, so long as the co-location center is okay with what you say, you can run the server from your home so long as your ISP is okay with what you say, and it will be delivered, so long as the various individual ISP of you readers also find what you say okay.

The end result is the American population of free-er and free-er from the government (which won't, almost, anymore do something against an individual for being the wrong X,Y, or Z. Why should they expend the effort? All they have to do is enforce Right To Work laws, and private enterprise will do it for them.)

> Serverless is a latest heavily marketed fad.

Serverless is the future of the Industry.

Lambda is not Serverless , it's just a FaaS which is a component of an entire Serverless Architecture.

Most specifically the majority of services provided by AWS and in the Cloud already are Serverless :

- Pay per usage ( GB , Execution , API Call )

- No Scaling or Provisioning ( SQS , CloudFront , Firebase )

- High Avaibility by default ( SQS , CloudFront , Firebase )

- Auto Scaling by default ( Azure CosmosDB , Firebase )

- Little to no technical limits for the service ( GCloud DataStore , S3 etc... )

If you have very little knowledge about something you shouldn't criticize it , that make you sounds even more ignorant.

Most of the stuff that people actually use on AWS (S3 , CloudFront , SQS , SNS ) are delivered with a serverless architecture in mind.

Again , if you are thinking "Lambda === Serverless" you really need to read more about this topic.
Taking interesting photographs is much harder than taking well composed photographs. For that you need to refine your visual pallette and explore for good and interesting subjects, and find interesting ways to capture them. There are countless well composed shots of the Eiffel Tower, some are probably even accidental. So it does become hard to give much weight to composition, unless it is bad.

Hi, ex-FB'er here.

They're overlooking an obvious one which is location. If you and a stranger use your FB apps from the same restaurant the same evening, the stranger will appear higher in your search results of someone with their name. It would be reasonable for this to feed PYMK.
Yes. If you are not part of the club, it takes approximatly 18 months from a post on python-idea to an implementation, after so much debate it's madening. And most of the time gets rejected.

The process of contributing to python is more frustrating than writing for wikipedia.

Much easier to write something in pypi, then come back to python-idea once it gets popular.

Liberty Chimes: Free Speech, the Tyrant-Slayer
I try to write helpful topics on my blog, but it really comes down to having the time. When you have a family and a busy job, your time is stretched thin.
Moreover, I think the trend you described will only become more popular as the world moves away from printed media.

When STEM people think of a "final production medium", they usually think of articles in journals. But who reads paper journals anymore? Most people who are active in their fields don't even read PDFs of paper journals; they've already seen the preprints on arxiv. We're all just exchanging tarballs of source code, and nobody is compiling anything.

The thing I like the best about Microsoft Word is the review feature. Multiple people can edit, annotate, and comment on specific parts of the same document. You can inspect each diff and either accept or reject it. Everything is color-coded and can be manipulated using a mouse. It's like commenting on a github commit, but much more intuitive for people whose job is to exchange human-readable documents, not source code.

I don't believe that legally they follow any different traffic laws, and they will usually yield for you if they're turning into your lane, and should yield whenever a car would (subject to custom signage for the tram etc.).

But in practice they operate under "Bitch, I'm a tram!" rules, and you'll need to be really assertive if you're going to get them to yield when they legally should, but the same goes for taxis.

If you're incarcerated prior to sentencing, and you're sentenced to more incarceration, you get a little extra credit, such that a 1-month pre-sentencing incarceration prior to a year long sentence results in a ~10.5 month incarceration after.

Incarceration and probation are two completely different things, something that everyone knows and cubano's post conveniently ignores until the end. The point of the credit is so that you can spend less time in prison if you've already spent time in jail prior. It is not to get you out of the system faster so a credit toward probationary time doesn't make any sense.

>This seems like the absolute opposite of literally every single article I've ever read, I have not once heard a single person make this claim before. Am I misunderstanding something, are we not talking about the same thing?

Maybe broader reading? Tech company management is predominantly "libertarian" and right wing. You often hear Sili Valley leaders extolling Ayn Rand, never hear them extolling e.g. the economic ideas of MLK or even JFK.
Spotify is beholden to the record labels for now, but as music sales continue to weaken, much like DVD sales did, Spotify will be grow as one of the main outlets to reach customers for the record labels. If they can swing it they could become a major label themselves, like Netflix has with films and television.
That's how supply and demand works though. When people don't think the ROI is there prices will drop.

Admission to a to school seemed like the only path to wealth when I was growing up. I don't think I can make that same claim for my kids.

I love photography, but I just don't think I'll ever be good at it.

I think I just don't have an 'eye' for what makes a good photograph.

I have taken some photographs I love, but they aren't technically good and are only good to me (because of the memories with the photo or who is in the photo).

It's annoying as I love it, and I love going out and practicing more. I've read lots on composition etc and how to use my camera but I find it so hard to actually picture the scene in my head and what will make a good photo.

Also, what are peoples throw away rates like? If I go out for a day with the camera and take say 20 photos. I might save 1.

The current narrative is that Trump is starting a trade war. But I have a hard time working out a way to define "trade war" in a way that does not have "trade war" occurring since long before Trump even began his campaign, unless your definition of "trade war" has a special pleading clause that just excludes the US for some reason and imposes a special, non-symmetric obligation on it for some reason that presumably contradicts the idea that the US isn't that special.

People just didn't know about the tariffs that already existed because the media didn't report on them, so politically, they didn't exist. (The idea that the media has this power but that it has not corrupted them is one I have a hard time understanding.)
