A criminal charge from the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH INFINITE RESOURCES vs a civil charge from a bankrupt state against the most capitalized entities on the planet

HMMM TOUGH CHOICE

you may have been indoctrinated to respect due process of all laws as written from any united state and from the national republic itself, thats not the same game that everyone is playing.
Similarly, rich-person's opioids are distributed legally (often) and are a drug treatment and addiction problem. Poor-person's opioids are criminal distribution and a law enforcement problem, treated in prison. Until sentencing reform, rich-person's coke (powdered cocaine) received much shorter sentencing than poor-person's cocaine (crack).

The difference, IMHO, is between the familiar and the 'other', between us and them, between feeling safe and feeling alarm. If someone of my milieu does it, it's one deviation from a norm I understand; they aren't threatening to me; they have my empathy or even my secret envy for doing something exciting. If someone of an unfamiliar milieu does it, it could mean anything; will they rob me? Kill my family in a drug-fueled rage? Undermine the foundations of society? It creates fear and alarm.
I wonder if this is happening because as carriers make less revenue from voice and as people use voice calls less and less, they're trying to recover part of that revenue from these scam companies that buy their premium plans to allow them to do all sorts of marketing calls.
We're Canadian so don't fall under HIPAA. We record in a database the full request and response for each transaction submitted. We index with the UUID for the message. With that request and response I can tell you exactly what each query returned because we only return the data that goes in the message. I can't tell you what the database contained at that point but I know what is in the message.

What exactly is Smi range? I have a feeling it is something obvious that I'm overlooking.
Cool. In my case, I would need a better UI and a mobile client (from what I can see from your videos it doesn't have both).
> ... although it relies on reifying particles embedded in waves to essentially select a single world, ...

Is the mathematical formalism actually more unwieldy, or is it just this interpretation of what it's doing? The 'select a single world' sounds like taking some of the conceptual framework from Everett and trying to paste it on here, rather than giving the Bohm interpretation its own conceptual framework which could possibly be more elegant?

>"In theory, everybody wins, as policyholders are incentivized to adopt healthy habits and insurance companies collect more premiums and pay less in claims if customers live longer."

If someone is not incentivized to adopt healthier habits due to the benefits of actually being healthier or feeling better are they really going to by a "incentivized" by their life insurance premiums?

It's also laughable to think one could ever be "winning" when they have agreed to wear a corporate tracking device.
Fair, but my confidence in it stems from the giant community around Next.js. Zeit, a company with a good reputation among developers, works on it full time. It has contributions from other big-name OSS contributors and big companies (Netflix, Hulu, Nike, Ticketmaster, Jet, Auth0, Marvel, etc.). It's definitely a liability if it were truly just one individual developing it, but I suppose it's more that there's a small core of facilitators, with a giant OSS community around it.
Which backend solution that isn't a service/CMS, but is more streamlined than Express or Koa would you recommend for solo devs going with Next.js? Is there something like a preferred full stack solution involving next.js on the frontend?

This sort of thing ought to disturb more people than it seems to - it should be really, really obvious when you're breaking the law, and it should be something that you can only do with actual harmful intent. This sort of thing goes a step worse, though, and actually makes _good_ intent unlawful.

>If the teachers make $24/hr, that means they're working 11.25 hours per day, assuming a 185 day work year.

My apologies, but you have no idea how much work a teacher actually does. A lot of it is indeed done after hours, and yes, 11-hour work day is not atypical. There's lesson planning, endless grading, paperwork, and that's just to start.

But, as the other commenter here said - it all doesn't matter. $50K is $50K, and after all the juggling, a teacher in SV can't even rent an apartment in SV.

All that is to say that the US is really not solving its education problems by throwing money at it, as suggested by a parent comment, when a full-time teacher can't even rent an apartment with their salary in one of the richest and biggest metro areas.

> We don't collect and store IPs.

First, "IPs" might be confusing; "IP addresses" would be more accurate.

More importantly, you have to collect IP addresses (or any other value in the packet headers[1][2]) - even if you don't store it - if you want to receive any packets from the rest of the internet. Storage of those values is separate issue entirely, and it's good to hear that you are intending to NOT store IP addresses (and updating the documenting)!

Also, I strongly recommend using Drdrdrq's suggestion to lower the precision of the collected window dimensions, which should be done on the client i.e. "Math.floor(window.innerWidth/50)*50". This kind of bit-reduction makes fingerprinting a lot harder.

That is the business model. How do you think they make money?If you want to bet in volume at better prices, use exchanges or an Asian book. But their business model is to spend a lot on marketing to attract unsophisticated customers and make it back on bad prices.
We do, but this is at a different, unprecedented scaled. As China vies for world hegemony, our future may look very bleak if China's Orwellian views are imposed at a global level.
Dunno what they did to the brakes vs standard bicycle brakes, but I'd be very worried about activating them automatically at ~170mph. With those speeds and the winds, it wouldn't take much to set you tumbling across the ground. I would expect they only brake very carefully and gently until they get the speeds back down some.

> Of course, you can use checks, but sometimes you need hard cash (e.g., buying a used car).

I use "cashier's checks" [1] to buy used cars, since that still offers more security and convenience (of not handling physically bulky bundles of currency).

A trick I learned from reading sites about how to buy at real estate auctions (where the final price can't be known up front) is to use multiple checks made out to oneself, in varying amounts. The ones needed for payment can be endorsed over to the seller, and the remainder can be re-deposited.

My credit union will send me an effecitvely unlimited number of these through the mail, if they're requested through the automated system and each for a at least some (reasonable) minimum amount.

Still, your point holds. If you need it in a hurry, a physical branch is required.

As a Chinese citizen who lived in the US for a while, I'm totally in favor of this, and especially when I go back to China. We don't value "freedom" as much as most westerners, and the social credit system is there to make existing laws better enforced, so bad actors can really get punished as they should.

Outsourcing analytics opens me to the same or worse legal liabilities.

I don't live in Silicon Valley, so $9/mo pays for two hours within a few months. Sure, there's hosting and an uncertain maintenance burden, but on the other hand buying a service has its own uncertain overheads.

What happens if the service is down, what if it fails to scale, what if it gets hacked? What if it just disappears because there weren't enough customers? Most of these are much easier to answer and take up less time with a self-built service.

It wasn't a mistake, she should have known better. That's her job. She knew it was sketchy but got signoff from some sketchy accountants. That doesn't means she's no longer liable, just that the accountants are also liable.

I'm not sure the author would have gone to jail as the title implies. He seems to think that the cops would have arrested everyone standing within 50 feet of her, but since their firm was apparently operating inside of the bounds of the law it's hard to figure out what they would charge him with. Of course he still had to fire her to keep his company's name out of the headlines, but not because he was personally liable for her actions at her previous job.

> They'd be guilty of professional malpractice.

Professional malpractice is not a crime but a tort, and the tort requires the client to be harmed by the failure rather than, as in this scenario, owing their liberty to it. So, the criminal law would be completely defanged. And it's unlikely the lawyer would be liable for balance, either.
Give us an example of an external thought.

Yes. How is it different from the software error that led to $440 million loss for Knight Capital Group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Capital_Group#2012_stoc...)? I bet they would love to cancel the trades they executed and get a refund as well.
It's true that scikit-learn was started and originally written mostly by PhD students (most were in fact CS PhDs), and the API they designed is amazing! A lot of the python ML ecosystem has adopted it and uses it - fit, predict, transform. I don't think any language has something comparable.

4 years ago they removed a misleading class - and even at the time the documentation was clear about what it was doing. I'm not sure how this reveals some huge flaw about scikit-learn. At best it shows that the contributors can realize their mistakes and solve them, without even needing people to point it out? That's great!

Also pointing to a bad implementation 4 years ago, for a project which has since then had way more funding for engineering time, and who's use has exploded, seems a bit misleading.
I don't know about the democracy part but he also mentioned religion and their ethnic cleansing of Muslims seems pretty bad from what I've read.
Yeah, a lot of the delay is coming from the rezoning and permitting process. There are crazy wait times for large projects because of the large queue of applications, understaffed planning departments, public consultations, and semi-extortionary negotiation over community amenity contributions (CACs). Often the trades aren't brought on board that early because the delay and uncertainty of whether the project will go forward. Once a permit is received, then it's usually full steam ahead and we are often asked to product tender and construction drawings in impossible timelines.

The game he was playing was "become a billionaire." I was a member of the protected class in the Apple-Pixar-Google etc case. When I left, I got a 50% raise. I estimate that that collusion cost O(10,000) people between $50,000 and $500,000 each (my settlement was less than $10K, and my personal loss was ~$40,000/yr * 5 years).

Quoting from this review of the book: https://100investmentbooksayear.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/rev...

> Failure to proper account for stock option backdating expense, where management secretly give themselves stock options that had already increased in value. By not reporting the compensation expense resulting from these “in-the-money” stock options grants, companies are overstating their earnings. Look out for unusually “lucky” timing on the issuance of stock options.

Edit: from the old thread, here's the SEC's statement:

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2009/lr20964.htm

> On May 31, 2007, the Commission charged Abrams and three other former senior Mercury officers with perpetrating a fraudulent and deceptive scheme from 1997 to 2005 to award themselves and other Mercury employees undisclosed, secret compensation by backdating stock option grants and failing to record hundreds of millions of dollars of compensation expense. The Commission's complaint alleges that during this period certain of these executives, including Abrams, backdated stock option exercises, made fraudulent disclosures concerning Mercury's "backlog" of sales revenues to manage its reported earnings, and structured fraudulent loans for option exercises by overseas employees to avoid recording expenses.

Backdating options is one thing. Failure to report the additional expenses incurred by backdating options fraudulently overstates the profitability the company, harming all other investors

There's a good deal of ambiguity in Haskell, but people tend to resolve it with operators like '$'. But I'd argue that it works very well in Haskell due to the fact that whitespace as function application and automatic currying go together well to make an elegant syntax. Lacking those features, it might be better to stick to the standard parenthetical notation.
