First, comparing America to other countries in this case is a poor point. Relative to European countries Americans are spread incredibly far apart with a culture designed around driving. Keep this in mind for the rest of my argument.

In many areas in America the hours for polling stations coincide with the typical workday. It can also take quite literally hours to reach your proper polling station to vote where taking any time off from work for many of the lower-class citizens is impossible. Proper ID for voting can also be harder to come across than you might think especially when access to them in minority or poor neighborhoods is deliberately limited. That's just to reach the location; never mind it potentially taking hours to just vote [1].

When you look at voter ID laws in a vacuum there isn't that much of an issue. However European countries have a far lower barrier to entry both for the act of voting and for getting a proper ID. When people talk about implementing voter ID in various areas; they're putting the cart before the horse, often intentionally because they know it benefits their voter base.

And as I've mentioned before voter ID solves very little. If you make it hard to vote just for a symbolic measure you're essentially admitting that you want to discriminate against minorities and the poor just for the sake of it.

An excerpt from “Gargantua and Pantagruel”. It’s a classic of French literature!
I think 'tomes' is where it's at these days.

An operating system covers quite a lot these days so a short book would either skip a lot of topics or be very shallow in the specifics and the specifics is very much at the core of coding an OS. You need to know a lot of the environment it runs in, so it becomes detailed rather quickly.
There are stupid people in all walks of life. Or, people who do things because that’s how they’ve been done and they don’t want to rock the boat and that’s what their paycheck depends on.
> I think for most folks actually living in these high cost areas, capital appreciation is not the primary motivation.

It's somewhat subconscious. Why pay $3000 rent when you can pay a $5000 mortgage when you and all your friends agree that the house purchase is a great thing? The average buyer isn't seeking capital appreciation, but they are confident that the house is a good purchase.
> this statement is objectively incorrect

If you're looking to be technically right, then you picked an easy spot. Your own employees call you a spam company. Out of respect for them, maybe you can loosen your interpretation enough to respond to their concerns.

I sent you an email, but it's not fair for you to attempt to move the spotlight off of these boards. You are advertising jobs to people here. The claim is that successful candidates will be building tools for spamming and for circumventing spam filters if they work for you.

There's an important difference between criticizing a person and criticizing someone's work. The work can be iterated on and improved through additional effort. If your criticism comes off as being directed at the person it can have very demotivational effects. Also, not everyone is looking out for the subtlety of where the criticism is directed. So it's best to make the distinction clear.

Hi Everyone - author here. I just wanted to give you some background on the project. JohnnyDepp came out of a feature request I got on another project called LoadJS (https://github.com/muicss/loadjs) which is an async loading library. The request was for a higher-level dependency manager that:

1. lazy-loads files
2. handles JS/CSS/images
3. handles nested dependencies
4. makes it easy to manage dependencies among team members
5. is extremely lightweight

I realize that many teams use RequireJS to manage dependencies but I saw an opportunity to make a library that could accomplish many of the same things but with a much smaller footprint and a simpler API. I hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think!
In particular the one that aggravates me is childcare. A lawyer running their own practice can deduct their childcare as a cost of doing business. I, as a salary worker who also needs childcare as a cost of working, cannot. (Aside from the very limited DCFSA)
> a short book would either skip a lot of topics or be very shallow in the specifics and the specifics is very much at the core of coding an OS

I'm ok with that! I'm not planning to write an OS, just want to have a programmer's mental model of how an OS works.
That is not the definition of effectively axiomatizable as required for Godel's theorem to apply, which is that the axioms be recursively enumerable (not the theorems, which I agree is of little use aside from metatheory).

I also don't understand how proof checking can be decidable if the axioms are not recursively enumerable. If proof checking is decidable, there must be a way of determining if a use of an axiom refers to a valid axiom. But if you can do that, as long as you can put the syntactic formulas of the system in bijection with the natural numbers (which I presume is the case if this is aimed at computing, and would hope in general that you can write them on paper using a finite string of symbols) you can produce an enumerating program by just running the decision procedure on every syntactic formula and only emitting ones that pass. More succinctly, all recursive sets are recursively enumerable.
iOS 12: Core Data External Binary Data Storage Becomes Corrupt
This is VERY true, particularly when it comes to the #1 use of tactical teams: "high-risk" warrant service. When judges issue search warrants, they rarely if ever specify how that warrant is to be executed: uniformed officers knocking on your front door, or a SWAT team throwing flashbangs in through your bedroom window.
I mean this is my issue with public transport throughout the Bay Area really, except BART at commute hours. I'm visiting NYC right now and taking the subway, and the difference is night and day.
Hey, this is my niche! This article is not very good - think of the last article you read about the internet betting a series of tubes, and your Steve Jobs is a brilliant coder.

The rifle design objectives are pretty poor, but there's some interesting innovations in there nonetheless. Unfortunately, it's mostly academic; modern symmetric warfare places less emphasis on small arms than ever before, and asymmetric warfare suffers huge diminishing returns from small arms investment.

In short, the AR15/M16 family will be around for a while, and that's fine.
Im no economist but intuitively i would think the key piece is that they “pop”; that is, the market corrects itself ib a sudden and aggressive fashion. That its a “correction” necessitates that the valuation is divorced from its “real” value, the primary mechanic allowing this being speculation.

And ofc, since speculation and correction is always a market, the final piece of the dish is that the speculation (and thus, the eventual correction) is significantly large.

And then given that the market itself lasts long (substantially longer than decades), and that we rightfully fear, not the existence of, but the crash, then it seems fine to claim a bubble lasting decades, and even centuries.

And like all predictions of the future, there’s money to be made in the difference between its actual popping and its predicted pop, if you choose to make the bet. Ofc, money to be lost too. And if you expect it to last a century... then just make sure your grandchildren get out before it bursts (and hope it doesn’t take everything else with it). Doesn’t matter to you particularly at that time scale, but it still exists (unless ofc it corrects slowly... but hey, hindsight is 20/20)
"Random engineer", or guy who sold a company for $130M after a patent-induced nightmare?
https://www.wired.com/story/eric-swildens-uber-waymo-lawsuit...
For the little guy--you lose some, they win more.

Patents need to have a much shorter lifetime except when regulation is involved.

Tech patents, in general, should probably last about 5 years. If you get a patent, you should have to actively promote and license it if you want money from it. You shouldn't be able to just sit on it for decades and then nail somebody who comes out with a useful product down the road.

Medical patents probably should be a little different. They should probably be 5 years OR you can tie the patent to an FDA approval which would give you FDA approval date+5 years. But, if that particular FDA approval fails, your patent falls.

Just curious, are you in the area? It's anecdotal, but the folks I know here who are buying tend to do it because they are either sick of the landlord/tenant dynamic, or because of their family. In addition (also very anecdotal, but N of >10) the ones I know who are buying for investment are usually more focused on solid rental cashflow rather than capital appreciation (although it of course still factors into the purchase decision).
Wow.....
"The email said that company said the breach was discovered weeks after system upgrades in July."

Wow. They emailed customers but made no public announcement that people's email addresses and personal info had been stolen and now available on the black market.

This is absolutely atrocious incident management and disclosure. I smell a lawsuit, possibly from the state or federal government.
I just really thought about that scenario - a Black guy, walking around a mostly White neighborhood knocking on doors. Just the thought of the consequences of doing that is crazy.

I agree with the need for more responsibility assignment, but claiming that banks were given a pass as a somehow atrocious thing is just shouting for mob justice.

The way would have been through Congress, SEC, FTC and the other relevant bodies.

The DoJ did pursue investigations against banks, but ... guess what, they were very likely compliant with criminal law, thus there was not much to stand on, and you are right, that it's a joke, because despite this, the DoJ managed to secure billions on Deferred Prosecution Agreements.

Do I weep for poor banks? Fuck no, but I hate the arbitrariness of this "justice".

No, this was no justice - as everyone rightly feels, but the DoJ was not in the position to make things right, Congress was. They could have mandated simpler, safer, cheaper banking for everyone, they could have taxed the irresponsible lenders and borrowers, they could have empowered the SEC to be able to proactively act, but no, they did only regulate a few investment banking things (and created a new consumer protection bureau, that is being gutted by the current administration).

Furthermore, the lack of criminal convictions is of course a problem, but just that would not be enough to disincentivize fraud and other criminal behavior, like money laundering. Both (as in personal responsibility for branch managers and hefty fines for the whole corporation) are needed to keep things in check. And the DoJ does not go after persons, most likely because the enormous interference from the whole war on x, from the ATF, DEA, DoD, etc. at the affected regions.
The Create-React-App tool hides all of the Babel and Webpack configuration by default. The only dependency you have in your app is the `react-scripts` package.

This drastically simplifies things for your app, and means you can get the latest build system updates with a single update command whenever a new version of `react-scripts` comes out. However, it also means that if you _do_ need to modify the configuration in some way, it's normally inaccessible.

CRA includes a one-time `npm run eject` command that copies over all of the actual dependencies and config files into your project. "Ejecting" means you're taking ownership of those config files, and also means you lose the ability to easily upgrade with a single command.
Why? I think the main thing stopping it is safe browsing, which is the same thing stopping all other phishing sites from getting too big.

I don’t have a post but I took a half hour the other day and did it, it was basically:

Add typescript, babel typescript, add the plugin in babelrc, and update the Babel cli build command in package.json to look for ts file extensions.

That enabled me to start incrementally adding typescript into an existing node.js codebase, I was surprised how easy it was.
It depends on how large the town is. Even in medium-sized cities (pop. <1M), it's rare to have a dedicated full-time tactical team. Usually it's a group of 6-20 patrol officers who get a few days each month to train together for various scenarios.

All of these cases have a well-defined conflict resolution mechanism. All of these cases except for Google Docs explicitly have a way for the client to be notified that their requested change failed (I believe Google Docs just defines the editing operations such that a conflict can always be automatically resolved).

The DOM API does not have any way to even notify the client that their DOM manipulation failed.
They can respond quickly without charging in like action hero wannabes.

In that article the police are simply murderers, no one should get shot opening the front door.
Unless an extension can do malicious things with the permissions you gave it.
It's all guesswork, right? Someone says these house prices don't make sense; someone else says they do make sense. If enough people agree that the house prices don't make sense, then the market would correct, then someone can say that really was a bubble after all.
Tesla battery proves a leading source of dispatchable power in South Australia
But most solo officers or those in pairs don’t have a high expectation of an armed response when responding to a routine call. I mean, there is a certain background expectation of encountering violence for a police officer, but when a SWAT team is called that expectation is basically a certainty. So while the officers may be trained, they are intending to act forcefully from the outset. I think the best thing to come from this is tempering that expectation with the possibility that a call could be swatting.
I will let folks in senior management comment on this.

This was advice I received from folks in senior management.

As with everything else in life, it depends.
C-suite is about setting the vision and aligning teams and departments. It’s anything but choosing from presented choices and waiting months on end for results; to the contrary it is constant evaluation and communication to steer the ship as well as possible. You are right that projecting confidence is important, but that’s not the main job by a long shot.
Yep, apparently harassment, verbal assault and abuse is just seen as yet another management technique these days and engineers will apologize for it, which is a paradox in the era of "safe spaces" and "code of conducts".
I don't see why most code would have to be unsafe. Presumably some of it would, but that unsafe code can generally be wrapped up in a safe interface (this is practically the entire purpose of libstd).
Unfortunately, aligning different bores is very difficult. Putting them in the same chunk of steel prevents them from diverging over time, at least, but doesn't solve the original issue.
It didn’t work for me; I have an old expired PGP key associated with my email address in addition to my current PGP key, and the program picked the wrong key to use.

Many banks also have these arbitrary password limitations which make it less convenient and less secure at the same time.
Evidence suggests otherwise in regards to them being "calm." Look up "puppycide" perpetuated by SWAT teams, or incidents of SWAT teams raiding the wrong house and even killing people completely unarmed. The fact is that there shouldn't be a "no knock" raid because of a phone call. Some SWAT raids can yield as little as 8oz of pot and everyone pats themselves on the back as if it were justified. It's utterly ridiculous. I don't care if someone calls and says Osama Bin Laden is alive and well in a Missouri suburb, no knock raids are not needed 95% of the time. Even elite forces survey the area and situation before raiding it, if at all; but not the police. How insane is it that the police have lower rules of engagement than a Marine in Afghanistan?
People are extremely unlikely to remember a code word they setup years ago and now must recall during a high-stress emergency.
You'd be surprised by how many SWAT calls are anticlimactic: basically all of them. The #1 thing SWAT teams do is serve high-risk search warrants on drug houses at 4am when everyone inside is asleep.

Contrast that with a rookie officer who just got dispatched to a "house, five hostages inside, caller says they're being held at gunpoint."
Seems pretty well thought out...
I am not sure I follow the point you are making. The point I was trying to make is that there are good and bad things about capitalism. Often people are always against capitalism or always pro-capitalism but it isn't as simple as that. When you start delving into details you will find some things about capitalism are good and some aren't so great. I for one tink capitalism is the best of the worst lot. I don't think much of the banking and finance systems that are part of capitalism today. As far as I know and I am not economics professor, Free Market is a component of capitalism. Once you produce the goods the market will decide on the price.
From the article, it sounds like Waymo's attempts at rewriting the patent were what introduced the physical impossibilities. Presumably the circuit from the original patent was physically possible.

One thing you can do to mitigate risk is to disable any extension you aren't actively using day to day and only turn them on when you need them. If an extension goes rogue it will then hopefully be detected before you activate it again.
Props to this guy.

I just took a look at the patent (highly recommended), and it's fairly ridiculous. It's a 101 design to control a diode with a transistor.
But that's not visible to the clients of `Mirror` API. Inside Swift `Mirror` is just another high-level API.

This is exactly right. Setting overly ambitious goals from a young age is likely to prevent one from developing mastery and capitalizing on the serendipity that leads to great opportunities. You can’t manufacture success, but you can set yourself up to get lucky.
Imagine that your boss told you straight to your face that your project is “dog shit.” Next, imagine that this boss is Steve Jobs. That’s what happened to me when I was working as the principal engineer of iPhone software during Apple’s golden years.

What was the right way for me to react? It would have been a bad idea for me to agree with Steve, raising the question of why I would offer him inferior work. But it would have done no good to disagree either, unless I was willing to enter into an on-the-spot debate with a famously mercurial CEO—and at that moment, I wasn’t.

The answer is easy. Immediately tell your boss that he is using inappropriate language, stop the conversation, and report him to HR. I'm pretty sure this is what Apple's official policy for this sort of situations tells you to do.
