That's not how it works. Votes are typically collected and tabulated in a county, but that state's electors are generally allocated by a majority popular vote, aggregating all counties (a few states do proportional). "Winning" a county doesn't matter; winning the state does. You could get the extra votes to win a state from a big county without flipping it.

The SEC chairman likely doesn't do the actual legal work in bringing cases to court. Would you expect Jeff Bezos to know how to navigate his warehouses and ship packages out?
He stated multiple times that he doesn't like public market because investors don't care about long term goal. That's why he said he will never take SpaceX public (if he can), as his goal with SpaceX is to go to Mars, not to optimize for revenue.

I believe he also said he only took Tesla public because he had no choice, not because it was his goal.
By saying that they don't look at it as stealing and then saying that they look at it another way, there is an implication that the way they look at it somehow relates to the perspective that it's stealing.

In other words, there has to be some reason that they don't see it as stealing but do see it as a failure by Apple to meet the needs of it's consumers. That reason is the relationship between the two concepts and I don't understand what that relationship is.
Search, Android, Youtube, Gmail, Chrome and Gdrive are all rife for disruption but either Google will preemptively buy the companies, play monopolistic games like they do with Android [1], or the time and resources required to gain users and traction will bankrupt most alternatives. Without competition you get inferior products, service and markets.

It's difficult to argue otherwise as you have no frame of comparison for things that haven't happened and you can't make any claims of quality without competition. Worse the ad economy has incentivized very poor quality content. This is where free markets and market theory fails as this can't be fixed without regulatory intervention or someone with extremely deep pockets willing to lose large sums of money.

The ad economy has tremendous negative externalities, surveillance, creating incentives for low quality content, click bait, personalized political advertising and people incentivized to produce more and more extremist and divisive content. All this so Google and others can make more money. This seems like a bad deal for the rest of us, akin to polluting the environment for personal benefit.

I don’t see them making any sort of general statement. They were always talking specifically about Greece. One could say that EU membership for Greece was a bad idea because of the potential conflict with Turkey without ever implying a general rule that countries at risk for aggression should never be allowed in any situation.

I have a very well-equipped Hackintosh that has been my daily driver for the last 3 years. I've upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan to Sierra without any issues, even when using the official upgrade method via iTunes. It sleeps, has working Bluetooth; FaceTime works too. It's incredibly stable.

I also have a pair of rMBPs.

I dual boot with Windows 10 so I can game when I want to.

It's all about getting a very compatible motherboard. If you don't do your research, it's going to be a battle.
I always thought that was great. What is the security issue exactly, people will read copies of publicly-accessible web pages that I saved? If I am so worried about that I can set a password.

Self-replication across interstellar distances is probably much harder than it sounds, also for strong AI.
Not a scandal. A scapegoat, for a change I'm sure they actually wouldn't mind.

Less dongles, more uniformity. Yeah a few less MfI certification fees (they would still have plenty of "officially certified" cables and chargers esp. from better brands, so this revenue wouldn't disappear, just somewhat shrink).
No, they just see the their argument as a better one against making a Hackintosh. No need to even consider the "stealing" angle if you think a Hackintosh would be bad anyways.
How is Musk legitimizing the Sauds exactly?

If anything it looks like one of the reason to go private is specifically to prevent the Saudi fund from being able to increase their ownership by buying on the public market.
> So these are errors that should have been caught by the compiler but were not?

Some of them yes, others no. For example, the compiler can't statically guarantee that there are no divisions by zero.

> If I hit a divide by zero error in an edge-case branch of code, I will still want my process restarted no?

Sure, and so Inko may at some point have a system for running "clean up" code of sorts, to report the error, etc. Actually restarting of things is something I prefer to have done by a system daemon, as there is no guarantee a program can continue after a panic (e.g. memory might be corrupted based on the nature of the panic).
What if the funding is the Saudi wealth fund and the stake they acquired was to form a majority ownership?

Edit: this is probably not the case, sounds like speculation is of a hostile takeover.

The "one bad apple" effect seems to drive most of our laws and regulations. One bad incident hits the news, and the "there outta be a law" folks go berserk in a rush to pass more laws to "fix" it, never mind the negative consequences of those laws.
Jenkins is not the problem, we have quite a few secured instances which wouldn't leak secrets like this, or at least not to non-admin or unauthenticated users.

It's just often misconfigured because there are a plethora of plugins and ways to store and use secrets, and nobody audits it enough to look at the console output or build artifacts for leaked secrets.

The project is simply missing someone familiar enough to configure Jenkins properly.
Ok, then, laser turrets.

I didn't take Mr. Musk to be a man who violated the law. That's all.

Apparently, I'm mistaken. Its a minor violation, but still not in the spirit of how major stock market announcements are supposed to happen.
I mentioned Keybase's use of DID's in another comment in this thread. They've done a great job of demonstrating how a fairly non-technical user can generate their own PGP keys and cross reference these keys to various social identities and attestations. The records for each user's attestations and identity claims are written to the bitcoin blockchain, which gives users the ability to continue use of these identity claims, even if Keybase were to cease existing. Blockstack's identity model has some similar features, and in general, I've found the successful use of DID's to be blockchain agnostic, which is (IMHO) the way it should be.

window management:

Turn off all the window edge snapping. Put up with single pixel borders, windows not saving their monitor, size and position. Put up with the single tab at the top of the window eating up screen space. Put up with a few other minor annoyances due to bugs in Xfce.

make keybindings the same in all apps:

alias x='/usr/bin/setxkbmap -option ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl'

Use autokey to rebind the keys in the terminal, so that Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V work as Copy and Paste. Rebind most of the Alt keys to Ctrl keys in the terminal.

Uninstall a lot of other crap I don't need or want. I should switch to another leaner distro (ie. no systemd), but it has taken a lot of effort to get to a system that works well for my needs despite all my preferences from using Mac OS X for so long. I don't think I could use a more recent version of what is now macos.
> usability gap between OSX and Windows 10 has closed considerably over the past few years.

What do you mean? A few examples would be helpful. I am not a frequent Windows user but my impressions, mostly confirmed by seeing other people comment online, is that Windows 7 was the "zenith of Windows UX", with a major step back due to "tabletization" with Windows 8 and partial return to glory with Windows 10.

The fact that some apps are designed for touch and look ridiculous on a desktop (calculator), others exist in two forms (the control panel) only makes Windows 10 more confusing, not less.

im not sure who you're quoting but i don't think that is Fermi.

the point of the paradox is not merely wondering how likely alien life is. rather, it starts with the simple fact that no evidence for alien life has been observed, ever, anywhere. why?

well, there's all kinds of potential explanations, maybe its far away, maybe its not advanced anywhere else, etc. we don't know the answer of course, but given the vastness of space one might expect to at least see some evidence of alien life, if not alien life directly, somewhere. that we do not suggests something fundamentally bigger is going on (ie the speed of light is legit)
> Yes. The choice before Google is whether to enter the Chinese market. Staying out of China may make some people feel morally satisfied, but will not give Chinese people more information.

Entering the Chinese market also lends prestige to the censoring regime (e.g. "all the companies of the world submit to our demands"), and also makes those demands seem more reasonable.

> Rather Google should be using its influence to challenge censorship from the inside after it reenters the Chinese market.

The CCP doesn't care at all about Google's challenges to it. Either Google complies totally, or it's out. The CCP doesn't need Google, and they probably would rather people use Baidu anyway.
It was leading the discussion in a decidedly political direction, which was why I only responded with an observation about the community experience of the account.

It's not even that he's lying or citing bad data. It's the conclusions he's drawing from it that I find suspect.

Can anyone explain to me why having a predetermined higher price would be a trigger to make the company private? Surely the lower the better as you are essentially getting the same asset, “Tesla”, for the capital used to make it private.
No, because I'm familiar enough with law in general to know that not doing so without a complete picture of the facts is almost always an oversimplification.

All this tells me is that Pitt is being appropriately careful.

Yes, this is my preferred approach.

Although, care must be taken, as many nominally warm LED's still have a huge amount of blue emissions. For example every Philips colored LED bulb, including red and orange, have a big spike of blue. The only exception is the yellow bulb, which is sold as a bug bulb... In other words, the engineers only chose to control the blue emissions in the one bulb; everything else is default full of blue.

I didn't read their argument as being anti-hackintosh.

I read their argument as "some people say it's immoral to run a hackintosh, but I think it's not immoral because Apple isn't providing their consumers with a valid alternative".
I believe the topic is "Climate Change" so I don't know why you're talking about diabetes and heart disease.

The argument is probably that meat production emits higher levels of carbon than other types of food production.

I happen to be building tools, so yes :D

Seriously though, the larger industry I am in and the purpose of my employer is to make video games. I make tools to make video games. I am invested in the tools I produce. I am less invested in the types of games we make from a playing them perspective (in that they're not really the kinds of games I usually like to play), and don't really care or keep up with most of the public design debates etc that we often have running about our games. But I am very invested in our games from a pride-in-our-work-as-a-studio perspective. I want to help make good products, both for the teams I service through my tools development and for the end product my employer puts out to external consumers.
The economy does. There are no off the shelf drone weapons. To develop them would require moderately skilled professionals. Moderately skill professionals in good economies do not engage in guerrilla weapon production because they have better ways of making money without the criminal liabilities.

There are a fair amount of large housing developments outside of a 10-12 minute walk to a subway station. Co-Op city in the Bronx is huge (and according to Wikipedia, has 46K residents), LeFrak City in Queens is mostly out of that boundary and, the one on Pennsylvania Ave in Canarsie (whose name escapes me at the moment) are all large developments without easy subway access. You could probably also includes parts of Stuy Town/Peter Cooper Village and those Union Sponsored Mitchell-Lama towers in the LES as being farther than 10 minutes from a subway.

Maybe like we now try to protect wild areas and animals, as long as they don't inconvenience us too much, maybe the aliens leave us alone and hide from us as long as they don't really need something here.

WikiQuote is a good idea, I didn't think Alex Jones would have a page there but here it is. But the worst I could see is "I will STUMP your head in if you start a fight with me, you thug scum" and "Stop being weak! And when you see a threat coming down on you, deal with it!". As political speech goes, I've heard worse from very mainstream politicians. Which ones do you think are the worst there?

> I don’t understand why you’d write this response without looking into the man first.

I did. I know who Alex Jones is. But of course I didn't read every single one of his rants, I have much better ways to spend my limited time on this Earth, thankyouverymuch. I also think if somebody argues for his exclusion from all major platform, they should already have the examples of the violent calls ready, just saying "yes, he did that, trust us, we wouldn't lie to you would we?" shouldn't be enough.

> but then maybe don’t defend him?

People still can't get an idea that demanding someone to be treated fairly is not the same as liking them or defending them. I mean, we're doing this thing for millenia, the Bible (and I mean the old, Jewish one, not even the newer one) talks about just courts - for criminals, not for good nice people - as one of the basic requirements, and we still don't get it through that being just to someone and defending someone is not the same. How long will it take? Will the collective conscience in year 9000 get it?
Not all startups care unfortunately, it is not specific to large companies :) How many times I hear things like "come join us, we're backed by XYZ", "We have raised $ABC", "our founders are ex people from 123 Inc.". Since there's no brand or value built over time yet, they have to find ways to attract developers. At the end of the day, it's hard to find great developers.

If your mission as an early stage startup is to disrupt the yoga industry for example (no offense to this industry at all), then you might quickly run out of options in terms of product/mission fit if you only use a whiteboard as your primarily evaluation tool. I really believe the hiring process is totally broken because it's not taking into account the ability for candidates to learn and the business impact they could have on a product. It's all about what they know in the moment and what technologies they've worked with.
What good (in practical terms) is information that an hour ago, a rock on Mars looked like this? It's of no practical value. In terms of learning about the universe, however, it's great.

at the two telecom jobs in my past DID only got called a "DID" when specifically talking about configuring routes for DID or some other associated configuration.

I know, but as I've said in other comments, hacking a big county is much harder. There are hundreds of polling places and machines, thousands of officials, news organizations conducting exit polls and watching live results, and probably good polls conducted just before the election. It's much more appealing to pick a few smaller counties with limited to no polling and easily exploitable systems, so you can remain undetected. If you concentrate your efforts in a few highly populated and highly watched counties, it'll be obvious.
Apparently the way it is presented is that, because scraping per definition alters the content of the copy (i.e. it extracts parts of it), it is therefor a modification of the original works. This is mostly the problematic part.

I have thought about just using the DOM, and/or using Chrome itself as an intermediary using its dev toolkit but I think that from a legal perspective, this is all just a modification of the original works as well.

IANAL, of course.
