Depends on what state you live in. I know in my state (GA) you have to be military or demonstrably out of town during the period to qualify for an absentee ballot.

They said they introduced bug in video uploading part in 2017. All were Ok till then.

I don't think you can so glibly dismiss enthusiasm as Stockholm syndrome. Passionate people push the world forward, and mocking passion is a recipe for mediocrity and stagnation.
How many cars does Lincoln make in a week?
Which is why the point doesn't make sense. The article says tokens were leaked. There are plenty other places where such bug could happen, so it shouldn't serve as a strong validation of "User impersonation code always terrifies the bajeebus out of me".

(Not to mention it's not really user impersonation, it's just filtering your profile page based on computed access level of one of your friends.)
Using another company (amazon in this case) to do your SEO for you.

This is so phishy. Doing a landing page on Amazon S3 and having all the link redirecting to your real website.

I'm starting to wonder if shady SEO marketing companies aren't already doing this to promote their "clients".

I hope the Google SPAM team we'll do something about it.
Sure you can, by introducing language features that make it easier to achive the same while being less error prone.

For example, in template metaprogramming we can get rid of tag dispatch and SFINAE thanks to static asserts, constexpr and if constexpr.

Likewise you might decide to shot your code with C style arrays, or use the STL data types with bounds checking enabled instead.
What stops someone from just sniping me randomly. Mid-work, mid-call, mid-presentation?
2.23 billion active users, 50 million affected. ~2% of their user base. Wow, that's a lot of people affected, and somehow just a tiny sliver of their user base.
Nothing Tesla makes is a luxury car. And to be honest, it's a stretch, even with the Model S, to call them premium cars (like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc). And the Model 3 is an economy car. They just happen to be pretty expensive due to the technology.

If anything, Tesla shouldn't have too much trouble beating the Fords, GMs, and Toyotas of the world in production -- they're just putting together batteries and electric motors, which is a good bit simpler than engineering an entire ICE drivetrain and getting it out the door successfully.
I wonder why the article uses "Aids" vs "AIDS" but then uses "HIV" and not e.g. "Hiv"
This was a really nice read. In the past, I've read or seen pieces detailing the personal story of a particular indie game developer, and often I walk away feeling kind of grated by their personalities (See "Indie Game: The Movie" for a particularly high octane example). But after reading it I felt warmed by how much you could see the artist in his art.
As a Seattle-area resident who's a few years ahead of our neighbors to the north, I can tell that you're likely to be disappointed. If for no other reason than the places that drug-test typically pay less to begin with.
Gross margins for model S and X are 25%+. The model 3 is supposedly profitable, at the scale that they have now achieved.
Tesla's big spend is on R&D on new product lines, and ramping up production. In other words: their core business has long been cash flow positive. It's the growth that is requiring all the cash and creating short term losses.
As a point of comparison, the last US car company to be founded was Ford, in 1903. They all literally have a > 100 year head start in factories and whatnot.

Edit: GM in 1908 is the actual correct answer.
TypeScript and Python 3 support gradual typing, so code can be optionally annotated with types. This makes refactoring easier, while still benefitting from how you can quickly sketch out new code dynamically and only annotate it once things start to solidify.

Personally, I'm a fan of very strong, static type systems, so I would prefer to annotate all the things, but I understand other people have different views.

Clojure ain't too bad.. example: https://circleci.com/blog/rewriting-your-test-suite-in-cloju...
There isn't a defensible reason for untyped templates. Generics and concepts are a better design all around. It's not only error messages that matter: scoping matters more, as the problems with templates in that regard are the reason why C++ has the ADL mess.

Concepts are one of the most important features C++ needs.
The difference, of course, is that it may be under oath, and you can purjure yourself before congress.

That means what you think you know from things you read in the media might actually not be as truthy as what is said when someone has to sit down before a body that has the power to criminalize dishonesty.

And its an important tool for government. There are very public scandals that the people want answers for. You may say it fits nicely with the expectations of office that elected officials might get to the bottom of things that may effect large groups of their constituents.
Wouldn't lavishly spending it still be an issue as you're likely to stand out / be targeted?

Let alone that stealing stuff might not be as convenient as cash, but still desirable...
I don't think adding debug/safety 0 are really worth it. In this:

(declaim (optimize speed)
(ftype (function (fixnum) fixnum) fib))

(defun fib (n)
(if (<= n 1)
1
(+ (fib (- n 1))
(fib (- n 2)))))

(print (fib 46))

adding `(safety 0) (debug 0)` took the time from 13.17s (with just the `speed` declaration) down to 12.94s for me. Is a 2% speed increase really worth the danger of `(safety 0)`?
Not the person you asked but I can chime in.

I'm absolutely amazed when people ask this question. Parties are very often held for much less than $1000. When I hold a party I usually spend around $300 and I provide plenty of food and booze that I have plenty of leftovers.

Ever been to a graduation party? retirement party? christening? baby shower? anniversary? birthday party? Those all likely cost ~$1,000 or less.

A wedding doesn't have to be fancy or expensive to be 1) a wedding or 2) enjoyable. It's merely a party! You can do anything! The wedding industrial complex wants you to believe that if you don't spring for the silk chair covers (or whatever) it doesn't "count," but that's just them trying to sell you something.

Venue: Plenty of free or non expensive cost ones. Backyards, friend's houses, park pavilions, VFW, masonic lodge, etc.

Food: Sky's the limit here! It can be costly but it doesn't have to be costly, plenty of low cost options. Plenty or restaurants have a catering menu, if you enjoy cooking you can "cater" it yourself, you can have a cookout, etc.

Music: iPod with good speakers is fine.

Photography: Is this really necessary in an age where everyone has a high-res camera in their pockets? I have friends who didn't even look at their wedding pictures.

When I got married the "ceremony" was signing some papers at city hall and we forgot to take a picture, oh well. After the ceremony we celebrated by ourselves at a local watering hole (would have invited friends to join us if everyone wasn't at work). The party we held to celebrate was the following weekend. It was just a normal party at our house, pretty much the same as any other party at our house. We had a big enough apartment at the time, but we could have used a friend's house if we didn't. We ordered four take home party pizzas, made some side salads, and made a box cake (I prefer box cake to homemade). Nobody, including us, dressed up. We didn't spend the whole day fussing about the color of flower arrangements or something equally entirely inconsequential. The focus was on us and our relationship rather than focusing on putting on a show.

We could afford to spend $10,000 or whatever on a wedding if we wanted to but the wedding we did have is one we could actually enjoy, I absolutely can't stand people gawking at me and my husband hates dressing up with a fiery passion. And it left us enough money to put 20% down on a house and then buy all new high quality furniture. And we enjoy those purchases every single day.

Stupid Patent of the Month: Trolling Virtual Reality
You might be in the clear, but make sure you've traversed every menu and sub-menu in the BIOS configuration. One of my laptops -- I don't recall which, sorry -- has the settings located a few levels deep with some very unsuspecting terminology. Even when I was looking specifically for it (I knew it was in there!), it took me a few minutes to actually find it.

Also, WRT turning it off, there are typically two options: deactivate and disable. One is just "temporary" (in that it can be turned back on later), the other is (supposedly) permanent and "impossible" to revert. Make sure you choose the right one (for you).
I would agree, being in your early 30s you shouldn't see a doctor outside of an injury. Again I don't think the homemade pies are helping, but I think they do in the long-term. Not that I am eating pie but that we know whats into them. We see the pigs being raised, work with our butcher etc... we believe that will aid us as we get older in comparison to eating pre-made ones with who knows what in it.

We could be entirely wrong here, but at least we will be eating well!

> Instead what happens is that Congress members "ask nicely" for somebody to testify (e.g. Sundar Pichai) and then the CEO gets with his lawyers and then coordinates with Congress on a reasonable date to appear.

If Congress subpoenas someone, can they also compel them to testify under oath, opening them up to charges of perjury?
Spotify Crackdown Threatens Family Sharing
The "surface" of Facebook may not be, but the parts of it that keep "personal information" certainly are, due to the scope of what can happen if it leaks.
You'd have to have buy-in from some lending institution, and presumably they'd be the ones to make the user facing documentation/education to fit their clients.

However if it's only one bank we're right back to where we are with PayPal, where there's only one provider facing consumers / sellers; instead of competition to drive the markets towards actual efficiency and liberty.
Norway is part of the ECHR. In fact, just like the UK it was a founding member of the Council of Europe which agreed to create the ECHR at the Congress of Europe at which Winston Churchill was a delegate from the UK.

The ECHR is a separate institution to the EU anyway so I'm not sure why it would be relevant. Leaving the EU does not leave the ECHR, and there has been no referendum to suggest that the UK should do that.
Or alternatively, encourage people to delegate their votes to whoever they trust in their local network to understand the problem best, who in-turn can delegate to their favored expert. Basically recursive representative democracy. It can't be worse than picking your representative from a group of 2-5 per region, that you only know about through biased media sources. And in aggregate it weighs expertise and trust much higher.

TypeScript probably wouldn't call itself a dynamic language.
Actually, low prices can be illegal, too. It's illegal to lowball prices to cost or below (dumping) either - and the rebates are part of what determines cost, not just a possible offense themselves.
I'd argue that the C preprocessor is the closest thing C++ has to Lisp macros. Templates are fundamentally based on static types, which are obviously something Lisp doesn't have.
We don't use PRs, but of the 22k commits to Master that we have (we don't have the best Git process), we have 5500 commits with "fix" in the title. So just about 25%.
What is a "safe" exactly?
Wow, 2800T is .28% of a neutron star? That is pretty impressive.
This is an interesting point. Right now, I can't reconcile the "we canceled active sessions thus logging people out" as a fix with the fact that "View As" was the attack vector.
Thanks for the site and correction.
The Real ID Act passed the House 368–58, and Senate 100-0, signed into law by Bush 2 in 2005. 54 of the nay votes were Democrats. While the law does not mean the federal government creates a domestic national ID, the federal government sets the standard for ID, and then requires that standard be used at federal facilities like TSA at airports, federal buildings, nuclear power plants and so on. So it in effect requires states produce the national ID card. Anyway, seemingly per usual, the U.S. invents the wheel multiple times, tries to standardize, grants many exceptions and extensions along the way, and in the end there are ~51 "standards".
I'll be hanging out in the comments this morning if anyone would like to discuss.
Ah, but if someone on a distant planet were to record their perspective, e.g., data about their visible universe, and transmit it to us, it would be consistent with our perspective by the time it reaches us. For instance, stars that they can see but we can't, would become visible to us as their message reached us.
I'm happy to see serious human rights concerns addressed in any and all forums.
"are you really completely against patriotism?"

One of the founding principle of the American Republic was that the government is not the country. "We the people" and all that. Many would argue that to be a "true" American patriot one should be highly skeptical of government with skepticism increasing the farther removed it is from your local community.
Unstated in all this lavish spending is that there must be some very successful merchants taking advantage of other people's poor spending habits. Someone is shipping all that stuff out to them.
If DNS blocking catches on, couldn’t ad networks just do DNS in the cloud and return IPs directly in the JavaScript?
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you apply for a patent?
Think creatively! For instance, make sure that backups silently corrupt data. Someone could also lace the salad in the salad bar with arsenic.
> “We’re taking it really seriously,” Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, said in a conference call with reporters. “We have a major security effort at the company that hardens all of our surfaces.” He added: “I’m glad we found this. But it definitely is an issue that this happened in the first place.”

There was a conference call with reporters about the subject, so the press release public release was not the first the NYT knew about it. They likely had an embargo agreement.
Fwiw, you’re not wrong but most of those stories are around the actual Ruby jump from 1.8.7 to 1.9.3. It was necessary but painful.

Essential infrastructure describes "assets that are essential for the functioning of a society and economy" [1]. Not things that can cause a lot of damage. Bombers aren't essential infrastructure. Facebook is non-essential.

While I agree that C++ has improved a lot, and while all these extensions to the standard library can, when used carefully, considerably increase readability... well, there remains the fact that they still need to be used with extreme care.

See https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/issues/1038 for an example of what I'm talking about.

So, readability increases, but the mental load of making sure that stuff doesn't break in subtle and non-euclidian ways keeps increasing, at least when refactoring existing codebases.
Worst case: the attacker now has 90 million user's messaging history.

At least in Sweden you can still go to vote on vote day even if you mailed in your vote earlier. The physical vote will override the mail vote (if both exist).
I have been using Camtasia for many years at work to make tutorials and video docs.

I would highly recommend it. The alternative is software called screenflow.

For what it's worth, Facebook did not dissolve its dedicated security team. That statement is misreporting on the part of The Verge. Facebook's security team is actually expanding its presence.

There is lot of misinformation about the Stamos debacle on all sides.
Well, if the closures were planned they wouldn't be part of the "force majeure or some very unexpected event",so the 65,000 intended (now missed) target still holds.
> 2-million-barrels of oil a day

In case anyone's looking for context on this, daily demand for oil is currently around 99-million-barrels a day, so this would be a 2% drop: https://www.statista.com/statistics/271823/daily-global-crud...

Obviously just a start, but still this sounds great to me.
And now they need to deliver the cars. I have two colleagues who are waiting for their cars. Apparently the deliver process (which Elon noted on Twitter) is pretty hectic right now.
I was told that some of it isn't completely money laundering but the only way to get legitimate money out of countries like China.
We agree on the hardware cost side. The missing step now is to compare these saved hardware costs against the lost payload and the revenue value of that payload. Averages will be fine I think.

Just looking at the hardware side without opportunity cost aonewhat misses the point. A really thorough cost analysis would need to factor in the impact on reliability, the risk of failed launches due to reused rocket stages. I assume these numbers are impossible to come by.

One other data point would be, if that's the case, how much premium SpaceX is asking for the use of virgin rockets as compared to reused ones. This would allow a rough estimation of the increase risk for failure and other costs. Again, I don't expect these numbers to be available.
This is probably not at all what happened. Things get heard and articles get quickly written. In this case it can even be the company spreading the news to key media companies in order to control the spreading of the news.
This is some bullshit.

I hope everybody with the question "Why aren't there that many Elon Musk type individuals in the world?" is satisfied with the answer.

I understand he fucked up but that is not the point.

There are people who play fast and loose with the rules who never get punished because they're practically the government. Recall the financial crisis. China would have executed dozens of people - a symbolic gesture but an important one.

Then there are people outside the magic circle who get autofucked the minute they steer wrong.

We KNOW Eric Schmidt for a FACT suppressed wages for thousands of employees, him and other Silicon Valley corporations - and even honest CEOs were being bullied and blackmailed into such a scheme. For this? Crickets.

I'm very much in favour of capitalism but this is some bullshit.
Anecdotal, but a friend's model 3 was originally scheduled for delivery today and got a text last night letting them know it would be delayed about a week, so it's not clear if they're starting to fluff Q4 numbers or if there was an operational or logistics issue of some sort.
FWIW, some BIOSes have a setting to disable "remote" firmware updates -- although I certainly cannot speak for how reliable that is (and, judging by past experiences, it isn't very reliable at all).
I can see being unlucky finding someone who will spend it all on crap. Hopefully, before people decide to get married they can have a sense of their spending habits. Difficult to completely do but you should have a reasonable exception.

Though I agree, a certain amount of luck was involved.
Working at Google confers prestige among lay people as well, in my experience.
Of course they're on the same page. They can afford the best lawyers and as much infrastructure as they need to fulfill the requirements, while every new competitor gets sued from all angles. I'd be very surprised if any of that regulation actually serves the user in any positive way.
This is a Monero puffpiece masquerading as a vilification of Shapeshift.

Erik Voorhees' "cavalier" approach to the man's collection efforts are honest in that even the best Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer implementation would not reveal the origin and destination of the funds when using Monero.

The quaint mention of Monero in this article is foreshadowing of more amazing informative pieces about this form of money. In this piece, they intentionally conflate what Shapeshift does with how other exchanges operate. They intentionally conflate Monero with all cryptocurrencies.

It is an interesting way of writing

But I think this will be followed up with more productive articles

The Wanna-cry ransomware did not collect millions of dollars. It barely collected $100,000 before the patch rolled out. The very public nature of the Wanna-cry attack and patch revealed that the same NSA tool was being used on a Monero mining botnet for weeks before hand already. and THAT was making millions of dollars, but the ransomware people ruined it!

Alright I'm going to call it, this is shoddy journalism. Glad to see the Monero mention
Hmm, the subtitle says it includes "airborne microbes". Microbes can change, though, can't they? There are procedures like fecal transplants just to kick start different microbe populations in a person. So it isn't all just an expression of their genes turning into physical traits, some of it is due to their history and what they were exposed to. Some antibiotic treatments, for example, could change your microbe population.
They don't care about bias, they just want the bias to be in their favor.

What makes Facebook "addictive mental candy" other than you not personally liking it?

I know lots of people who feel they get and have got tremendous practical benefit from Facebook. It isn't "addictive" unless you use that term to mean anything some people make that other people enjoy.
Well, when the best way to obfuscate your own voter influencing and voting machine hacking is to keep blaming it on the Russians (based mostly on the language packs installed in the attackers' text editors...), we have to wonder how much they really care about preventing interference in democracy...
From what I understand, everywhere that you would need to write a type, TypeScript allows you to either not declare a type at all, or put "Any" and avoid declaring a specific type. I think you can even go so far as to rename a ".js" file as ".ts", and it's fine, which is a great example of "gradual typing", and I think this all makes TypeScript a dynamic language.
Thanks, I misunderstood that part... very cool indeed. What are the overhead limits for workers?

Aside, it seems like this could be really interesting combined to make an entire API with static delivery from S3 or Azure Blobs, with a backend on a cloud hosted database. With a lot of flexibility in between.
Essentially, it's a convertible note without the debt aspect.
