I have a Key2 which I bought because I like the physical keyboard, battery life, features, and physical appearance/feel, but I don't buy any of the security/privacy marketing for a second. The phone runs a boatload of services from Google and BlackBerry which I don't know what they're actually doing and you can't turn off or disable without breaking features. I operate under the assumption that Google can (and does) track what I'm doing and where I'm going, even though I've disabled as much of this tracking as the settings allow, and that BlackBerry could decrypt my "secure" file storage locker and bypass my fingerprint/PIN in an instant if they wanted/were compelled to.

It's not tied to the continued life of the company; for the most part, pension benefits are protected in a separate fund. (It's more complicated than that but I am by no means an expert.)

More to the point is that defined benefits, in addition to their other issues, are mostly oriented to long-term employment with a single company. If you move around every 2 or 3 years, you probably wouldn't get much if anything out of traditional defined benefit plans.

Traditional defined benefit pensions are nice in some ways for workers in that they're predictable. I'll even get a small one myself. But, like employer provided healthcare insurance, they're really not a good match for most purposes today.

The reason I thought 1000 psi was low is explained on 278, the ground bearing capacity columns minimum value is 20 mpa or 2900 psi. The numbers in your link are dynamic pressures at depths of 14 / 28 inches. The area where the force is applied increases as the stress is distributed in the soil. The 2900 is a surface value.
It's just a footnote. I don't think that GNU are making a big deal about it.

It's important to distinguish between graphs of performance as measured on real hardware and theoretical results from computational complexity theory. It might be clearer to say "near-constant time over the region of interest" if you're talking about the former because "O(1)" has a precise meaning and refers only to what happens in the limit. Real programs usually only work for "small" n: they stop working long before the size of the input reaches 2^(2^(2^1000)), for example. But whether the algorithm is O(1) or not depends only on what happens when the input is bigger than that.

Another way of putting it: if you modify your practical program so that it runs on a theoretical machine that handles any size of input then you will probably find that another term appears in the execution time, one with a "log" in it, and that term eventually dominates when n gets big enough.

Yes, I am being a bit pedantic. But "O(1)" is mathematical notation and you have to be pedantic to do maths properly.

Notice how you're not actually talking about Trump, but are instead talking about the United States? You're not really making the point that Trump is any different than Putin or Xi, just that he operates in a place that doesn't let him express himself the same way. That the US is a different place than Russia was not my point, and I wouldn't argue it either.

Trump, Putin, Xi, Erdogan, etc are all the same breed. The US, Russia, China, and Turkey are different places. The same set of beliefs/tactics/views/attitudes will produce the different outcomes in different environments.

One thing you should consider is your faith the the abstract notion of "rule of law". What you're seeing with Trump is that lots of people don't really care about abstract high-minded principles, they only care that their guy is in power. Laws and conventions will be discarded in his favour.

One thing that has really changed in my mind over the last two years is finally understanding Weimar Germany. I used to be perplexed at how an advanced society can fall like that, but seeing 2 years of "progress" under Trump, I can't imagine what terrible outcomes a decade or two of Trumpism will produce.
To sum up something I've been thinking about: the panoptic dystopia of our future is evidently not Orwellian, but Molochian (shameless self-promotion: [1]). We aren't forced to install telescreens in our homes; we live within social and psychological incentive structures that subtly nudge us toward willingly having and using them. The network effects enmesh us all within the stickest of webs.

It is very easy to verify these apps have not been modified if you also have access to a known good copy of the same app. Install known good copy -> install suspect APK as upgrade -> signature check performed on upgrade verifies that it was signed with the same key as the old version, so if the upgrade succeeds there has been no modification.

I think we agree, and I've edited my comment to clarify. My usual reaction when people refuse to use pronouns such as "they" is that they (hah) don't want to acknowledge gender identities outside of the male/female binary.

But even a maximally charitable reading of this note - which assumes that Stallman genuinely cares deeply about both gender identity and proper classical grammar, and ignores the long historical use of "they" as a singular pronoun - still doesn't pass the smell test for me. A code of conduct is supposed to articulate your organization's higher ideals and how they are put into practice. A link to your personal blog post about how you think modern language is wrong just has no place here.
> We're actually losing business to other companies that are performing highly unethical and probably illegal techniques.

And you always will. Principles and money are often at odds. This is not an easily fixable problem as the well-intended solutions often cause more problems. Enforcement of existing statutes and accepting legal-yet-unethical practices is unfortunately the most rational approach.

I will reject a paper if it references a private communication with author oneself. Just tell the truth, undisclosed prior work.
I meant that deferring to "it's bad grammar" or "we have other words to choose for them" is a rationalization. The real answer is, "we don't want to fully acknowledge their humanity, so we'll retain grip over this one tiny meaningless thing, to remind them that we're in charge".

Saying it's grammar and you can't use bad grammar is a rationalization -- grammar's also an entirely invented thing and it changes over time and if it changes now because we're all getting on board with NB folks existing, then that's just one of a million grammar changes in the 2010s.

Saying we have other words and they should be happy we're using other words is just a rationalization -- it's their call to make and we can either let them own that or we can keep insisting NB folks don't get that self-determination.

The hounding sounds awful but he made some poor choices.

-He left huge sums in his car (had 500k and 200k stolen in separate occasions).
-Pulled out 50k at a strip club and slammed on the bar

Also, he had the problem of being one of the first. We just had a 1.5 billion earlier this year, another one just happened at 1.6. powerball tonight is at 620 and no one seems to care.

Yes, the "proles" mostly live in poverty, and while they can purchase telescreens they're not explicitly kept down, being mostly kept in poverty and entertained.

No you don't. What is induced is an electromotive force, e.m.f., that is voltage. If the coil is open circuit then no current will flow. It's slightly more complicated than that because wireless charging uses tuned circuits not simple iron cored transformer but the general principal is the same and the control circuit in the phone can simply disconnect the coil completely in order to not accept any power.
This story is quite common. The obvious conclusion is that a large infusion of money can ruin someone. But it occurred to me recently to wonder if there’s a selection effect where people who are bad with money are far more likely to buy lottery tickets. People who are bad with money can waste whatever quantity they are given. Someone like that isn’t going to get a lot happier with an infusion of cash. Or rather they would with a gradual infusion over time coupled with some training and discipline. 3 things which are deliberately avoided in the framing of the lottery.

Sharing such data contains the information where your car is parked (because that's where it starts moving). It contains more metadata than you may think. It contains information such as your home location (and therefore can be correlated to you), your neighbourhood, your work address, how long and often you work, where you do your groceries, how long you spend with aunt Tillie on Saturday morning. Such data is not anonymous, just like an IP address is PII (in the EU, at least, YMMV).
Looking at this from the other side, if a non-mathematician "solves an interesting problem", is there a recommended way to make the solution public? Something better than posting to 4chan?

I'm entirely sympathetic with his preference for precision when at all possible. One of my great pet peeves in modern usage of language is the lack of precision of usage, which I think leads to a lack of precision of thought and communications that creates bad feeling and wastes time unnecessarily. When people are lazy about using words correctly they can also become more generic over time in general, which in turn robs other people of the ability to get their thoughts across as well down the road.

However while I think his examples of where "they" can lead to ambiguity are fair, his argument that "we have a clean, clear and natural solution" is not supported by his own examples. Take the first one for they:

>"When my child was removed and placed with Dad, they internalized it and took it like they did something wrong."

Let's try his "natural" answer:

>"When my child was removed and placed with Dad, person internalized it and took it like pers did something wrong."

What. That's awful. Certainly no better then "ze internalized it" or any other entirely made up word. "Per" and "pers" and "perse" are not "equivalent and interchangeable" with person in normal English at all, and in fact "per" is already in usage as a preposition. He does this whole setup but then his solution falls hilariously flat, and in fact illustrates precisely why people use "they".

If people just want to bite the bullet and try to push a universal gender neutral singular pronoun like "ze" or "zhe" or whatever for English I don't have any problem with that. I think it also might be practical to achieve, it's just "the singular of they" so plural doesn't change and nobody ever needs to think about it again. It has the advantage of laziness, everyone can just start using it everywhere and never have to think about it again. I don't think it can really be pretended that anything existing can just slot in there though, certainly not what RMS came up with.
Hmm, I mean I'll take climate change, racism, education, and some particularly nasty geopolitical issues above it, but other than that, I would say it ranks pretty high.
At work we are building a simple CRUD admin with Jekyll and Vue as a jQuery replacement. No babel, no webpack, no router, no Vuex. The complexity has been reduced immensely.

Data still comes from an API, so the front end is still decoupled from the back end, and anyone that is not a JS ninja can still contribute to the codebase since the project structure is really simple.

This is an internal project so we can tell our users to use latest Chrome to avoid transpiling and such, but configuring webpack would still be possible.

I really recommend the approach.

A lot of people think getting the data from an API automatically means building a single-page-application while in fact you could use this approach with Jekyll to create a static site, or even use server side code to generate dynamic markup and still consume an API.
Alright man, if you're so sure, if you ever find yourself in that boat I wish you well. Because I'm sure it's a recipe for disaster.

They won't need your well wishes, you've made it easy for them. You seem to think sticking money into a bitcoin wallet is some impenetrable shield and enables you to ignore court orders.

Governments have seized bitcoins for years. And seeing as how your scheme is to do this to confound their actions against you I think you'll be on the hook for lost value and whatever costs are incurred in recovering the assets you're trying to protect.

>4. Clearly I'm not concerned about lawyers.

Yeah in your fantasy scenario where you beat the government through your deft maneuvers, sure they don't matter. In the real world though, different ballgame.

I think you'll find working against your lawyer and sabotaging his efforts on your behalf is the definition of counter-productive. And if you figure you don't need a lawyer, a well known proverb covers that: A person who is their own lawyer has a fool for his client. A lawyer who represents himself (herself) has a client who is an even bigger fool.

Anything is possible, but here's the rationale the doctors who were treating me used to reach their conclusion:

In Virginia there are only two known populations of venomous spiders, the black widow and the brown recluse. A black widow bite was ruled out because I did not exhibit any of the "typical" symptoms that they'd had experience with. I didn't have any pain outside of the bit marks (until later when my lymphatic system started to show signs of blood poisoning and an ache set in). From what I understand black widow bites start off as a "bee sting" type pain and then progress to abdominal pain and full-body muscle spasms.

But as you alluded to, without a specimen, it was an educated guess on their part based on my memory of where I'd been during the week prior to the bite.

One example I can think of is this: if you write perl using 'canonical' expressions, your code will often get compiled to optimized function calls. But if you use non-canonical expressions to perform the same operation, the compiled code won't be optimized and will run a lot slower.

An example would be using a map expression instead of a for loop. The map expression will typically run faster, even though its body is pretty much the same as the for loop's body.
