To be fair a lot of people invest in real estate, including those with modest income. I wouldn't be surprised to find that a larger percentage of people with defined wealth have some sort of Property or holdings.
> The GIL is needed because Python's reference-counted memory management system is not thread-safe.

That is correct. What does that have to do with C? Thread-unsafe code exists in all languages. The GIL's lock is itself a pthread mutex and condvar underneath, and equivalent constructs exist in all (to my knowledge) modern threaded programming environments.

"not wanting to reimplement the language/break compatibility" is a reference to the successful efforts that have been made to remove the GIL in CPython. Those efforts have not (yet) moved towards merging into mainline CPython because they require a) lots of reimplementation work and added complexity in the language core, and b) would very likely break the majority of compiled extension modules.

I think that's additional evidence that the GIL isn't a C problem; they removed it, in C, without fighting or otherwise working around the language.

Applications to expensive universities, in general, will probably decline over time as the primary reason for attending these schools were the value of the network more than the actual education (it was still great but it's been more and more commoditized) and it seems like a strong network can be created in so many other ways now.

Still there are going to be people who will send their kids to expensive schools but the value is going to diminish over time I think.
Conversely, is it possible to physically or remotely access one of these machines and determine if they've been hacked (or pre-hacked?) and how long would that take?

Also, does the hack simply modify the results for that machine, it does it grant access to manipulating the entire county vote?
I think if they want wider adoption of the codec, they have to port this to GPU. They are much faster in term of throughput. They are more power efficient per FLOP. Also for players, the result needs to be in VRAM anyway.

Unfortunately, it’s very hard to do in cross-platform way, for Windows you have to use D3D, for iOS Metal, etc… AFAIK, cross-platform GPGPU doesn’t work yet, at least when you want to target wide audience i.e. both Intel/Nvidia/AMD GPUs including older models, with default drivers.
I'm curious - this is hypothetical. What if you were a millitary contractor and had work on your laptop. And they asked to search it and hand over password. What would happen then? Assuming they would need clearance to view certain files.
They're calling it a "technical test", how is that not equivalent to experimental?
Having just returned from the Monaco Yacht Show, I can firmly state that need is a very subjective word.
The outer volume is itself encrypted so if you correctly initialized it as recommended, the raw disk should be full of random bits. When read from within the encrypted outer volume, these decrypt to random data as well, so there should be no way to detect the inner volume, either by looking at the raw disk sectors or at the decrypted outer volume sectors. Most importantly, you have the plausible deniability that the disk looks exactly as it should per recommendations of security experts, that the boot-loader and initrd are the stock versions that exist on any other Ubuntu machine with encrypted volumes etc.

Another caveat here is that the inner volume must use the implicit encryption parameters of cryptsetup, or that the correct parameters are supplied in the command line. A LUKS header should absolutely not be used, as it will be plainly visible inside the partition, and would indicate, at the very least, that some other encrypted data was stored in the past on the disk leading to new questions about its password etc., killing plausible deniability.
I went a bit of the opposite route. My undergrad was a BS in Computer Information Systems. Basically a CS degree where some classes like physics/high level math electives were replaced with business courses like stats, management, accounting, economics, etc... Later I went back to school and got my MS in Computer Science. I love doing the tech side of things, but I can say that almost without fail I have used business basics I learned (and continued to add to) every single day. I've debating doing an MBA because I enjoy the structure of school, but I just don't have the time right now.

One other non-obvious aspect of school I wished I had focused on more at the time was literature and writing. Communicating in a clear and concise manner becomes increasingly important the more senior you become.

It is tough for the small guys. It's not uncommon for a patent application to cost you upwards of 30k or so to file which is a definite barrier to entry to start with.
Can a startup choose to disassociate with Khosla after the fact?
>That would make all of our elections vulnerable together.

They're already vulnerable, all together.

> which would effectively put elections under federal control.

They are already under numerous federal laws. Strangely enough, counter to your point, federal laws have been the #1 driving force for allowing more people to vote ("closer to the people"). See: https://www.usa.gov/voting-laws
I'm not a lawyer at all. I just saw this event as a case of "doing X, when you are specifically not allowed to do X".
For web delivery it does.

For server/desktop delivery, which is C++ original and major domain, for which those "costless abstractions" were developed, no.

It's not like Stroustrup, Stepanov and co had web assembly and constrained mobile devices loading webpages in mind when designing C++.

The idea of "costless abstractions" was about them not losing runtime speed -- not costless in code size. So the parent's comment doesn't really apply.
Why can't it be remedied by civil lawsuits? If this guy is restricting my access to a public beach I should be able to sue him, no?
Don’t despair. If large companies were efficient there would be no place for startups. And what kind of world would that be?
All it means is a foreign entity like Russia just attacks each state differently. It won't stop them. Clearly, we are doing literally what you're saying, and it hasn't worked.

Elections, in the 21st century, should fall within the range of national defense. Power grids and other types of infrastructure are, why not the democratic infrastructure like elections and voting?

> The last thing we need is nationalized elections. That would make all of our elections vulnerable together.

Or you know, the ability for elections to actually be fixed in a systemic fashion. It's really the only way.

I really don't understand this attitude. To take an example from the software industry, would you rather have your users on one OS, for you to secure, or 20+ different ones, where you need to plug holes independently?

Fix one issue with a voting machine, fix them all, as opposed to just fixing Florida's specific homegrown crap.

They keep the data and just don’t display it. The last thing they need is a court order demanding they delete it.

Sure the archive is useful today, but it’s primary purpose is retaining information for future generations. If that means placating copyright holders it’s worth the cost.
If one defines "election security" as "ensuring that each voter is registered, is alive and present, votes only once, and votes only in the correct location," then obviously requiring voters to legally identify themselves, just as they do when doing any number of everyday activities that involve local government, improves election security. Your assertion seems a bit knee-jerk.
My key takeaways from reading this:

- investors chipping in not because of potential upside, but because of reduced volatility. [1]

- there is such a thing as collectible coins and that "Clean Bitcoins" make sense I guess :-) [2]

Such coins command a premium of up to 20 percent, according to Travis Kling, founder of the hedge fund Ikigai. It’s easier to prove they’ve not been involved in money-laundering operations, he said

One thing that's been grinding my gears lately is multi-hour coding challenges for positions... I'm not aware of any other industry that does this, and it gets really irritating after your Nth coding challenge (because N Queens or Fizzbuzz are so important to know!).

I'm actively ignoring job positions now where they seem to think it's a great idea. "Gee, wow, thanks I can spend hours of my time and potentially get nothing out of it? Thankyou sir!"
Would you make that kind of decision with only an eye toward your current company or the market in general?
This doesn't address my comment.
An entrepreneur might make a few million one year selling a company, then almost nothing for a few years after if they take a break. Maybe average the last ten years of income to get a better picture?

Either way, it's not perfect. Hundred dollar speeding tickets are brutal for low income families.
Hi, there is no option for Data Science, only software engineering.
Have you ever tried to implement DMARC? DKIM and SPF are OK but DMARC breaks mail lists. Yes there are ways to mitigate but it might not be worth it unless you also do DNSSEC as well. Well actually I believe that every little helps and use every weapon available.

I do think that the analogy works really well. PBXs can have quite a few weapons of their own to attempt to authenticate callers. For example you can pass "anonymous" calls to a dialplan that gets the caller to identify themselves and then play that to the recipient who then gets to allow/disallow the call - basically make the (human) recipient part of the firewall. Also, PBXs that deal with VoIP can use IP rules just like a firewall to make decisions on what to do.

Traditionally, "telephony" and "systems" have been considered separate. Personally I'm a sysadmin AND telephony bod with around 25/15 (respectively) years experience. My PBXs (generally Asterisk with FreePBX) have quite a few sources of intelligence about what is inbound, beyond CLID. I also look after quite a few email systems, often fronted by an Exim MTA with an attendant rspamd or spamassassin (int al).
Won't this rapidly become beside the point?

With text to speech software becoming so amazing, see Google's Duplex, I'm not that concerned with caller ID and am massively concerned for aging boomers who will have to contend with nearly perfect speaking bots.
The opposition to voter ID laws is usually down to the implementation details of them that make them non-viable - for example, requiring costly IDs that are also difficult to get (while also closing facilities that issue them in some areas which just happen to vote a certain way).

A well-written voter ID law - one that truly guarantees the right to vote for every citizen eligible to do so - might well get enough bipartisan support; I'm just not aware of anyone ever trying such a thing.
Yes. We plan to increase the CPU limits. In the meantime, if you're hitting limits, reach out to us and we can usually turn them up for you.
My experience so far as a beta tester has been very positive, for what it's worth.
I used Parsec for the first time maybe a week ago and I was really impressed by the site and software. It worked exactly for what I needed it for and was one of the easiest signup and setup processes I've seen.

It was all-in-all easy, fast, and worked which is becoming more and more rare imo.
So what happens if you move from country A to country B and bring all your personal papers, address books, photo albums, diaries, business records, etc. across the border (in a moving van, for example)? I really don't know but I suspect that no one takes the takes the time to read all those documents or to copy them for later study at least at most borders. I don't even know what the applicable law is for someone moving to/from US/Canada, for example.

What happens if you use the postal service to deliver your phone across a border? Are the same authorities who claim the right to search your phone if it is on your person at the border also claiming the authority to confiscate and duplicate your phone if it shipped/mailed? Do you have to put your password on a sticky note on the the front of the phone? And if you ship the physical device but transfer the data separately does that change the expectations?

It is interesting that condensing information into a digital format that can be easily duplicated and searched (before or after duplication) seems to change the expectations for the authorities and I think for individuals.

I think this is another example of the modern digital world/economy has left the legal system in the dust.
My question is how is this activated? I fear that it will be based on a left click of the extensions icon which is normally used for popup.html, if it's a right click the issue is alleviated.
The answer to your guess is 1). The reason I didn't want to discuss Elon Musk or Tesla is SEC shouldn't be concerned with who they are going in after in enforcing the section of the law that they are concerned with, just whether or not there is a case to me made with enough supporting evidence.

I'm probably just naïve if anything.
Just run the old OS in a VM. But that's usually not the real problem. Often there are some old special hardware interface cards somewhere inside from the old machines.
Good work! Looks awesome, it's very fast and responsive.
Civil Law systems have a doctrine similar to stare decisis with the same logic--fairness in outcomes. It just operates differently because of different views about the structure of government.

I think the main reason that Civil Law systems have voiced opposition to judge-made law is because since their advent (French Revolution onward) Continental systems have emphasized democratic control and thus the supremacy of the legislature, whereas Anglo-American law historically emphasized (or reflected) competing power structures. An early French constitution made it criminal for a judge to "invent" a rule to settle a case; if the law was ambiguous the judge was supposed to refer the case to the legislature. But guess how many times a court declared a law ambiguous and referred it to the legislature? (Point being, Civil Law systems noisily refuted the legitimacy of judge-made law, but the reality was different.)

It's notable that Parliamentary Supremacy didn't completely solidify in Britain until the late 1700s. American law didn't inherit such a notion of unlimited legislative authority. The concept of Substantive Due Process emerges from this environment, as does the far less controversial Judicial Review (from Marbury v Madison).

Also, FWIW, there's a common misconception (even among lawyers) that the Civil Law is somehow more closely related to Roman Law than the Common Law. That's not really true. Roman Law actually had judge-made law and something like stare decisis, though the technical details were quite different. Emperor Justinian attempted to impose reforms, but these were widely opposed and occurred at the tail end of the Roman Empire. In as much as the Civil Law was based on interpretations of the Justinian Code, that doesn't mean it was reflective of actual Roman Law. And in any event, most of the major distinctions between the Civil Law and Common Law emerged long after misinterpretations of Roman Law had permeated everybody's legal thinking.

Downvote unwarranted for this reasonable answer. Refutations welcome.
This gets complex quickly. What if the property is owned by a company, which in turn is owned by a foreign foundation?

Does he actually own the property? Should he be personally liable for that fine because he lives in the property? Should the fine be assessed on the property value?

Plenty of questions unanswered, that likely require legislation at various levels in government.

I'm not saying it's not a good idea, but this requires more work than some people are assuming. Khosla will be dead before any proper legislation without viable loopholes gets enacted.
