South East England has an interesting problem - for a decade or more Dirty Money from Russia, China and elsewhere has poured into London, as bankers and lawyers turned a blind eye.

As the "big" properties in London went into the multi millions the original owners moved out one rung, and those owners moved out one and so on. The commuter belt is apparently shored up by billions of dirty money

But now it's drying up. Maybe tougher enforcement, more likely competition from NY / Nevada and Brexit uncertainty but it seems to have tanked the market.

It seems you've managed to miss the point entirely.

Everyone gets older. Everyone gets sicker and medical issues start to crop up as they get older. The people that then have to deal with medical bills are the children and relatives. Meaning you have a choice to make: Go bankrupt helping your family, or maintain your status by abandoning their health.

I hope your family never gets ill because otherwise you'll either end up financially bankrupt or heartless.

I can solve your dilemma easily. Don't use the phrase "Intellectual Property". Use "copyright" and "trade secret" to refer to those two separate concepts.

"Chinese theft of intellectual property" is all about trade secrets, something completely unrelated to copyright.

(There's also a distinction between violating copyright for yourself, and violating copyright to sell copies of something, but I don't think you meant bootlegging so we don't need to address that right now.)
Federal law protected these rights, and the rights to retrieve fugitive slaves. The southern states objected to northern states ignoring Dred Scott, which was a federal court ruling.

Badly discoverable? Sure. You can vastly improve the remembering part by picking appropriate mnemonics. The Plan 9 keyboard file is a nice start, I think.

It follows a set of rules so you don't have to remember a large number of sequences but can often guess the right one intuitively.

ASCII digraphs for mathematical operators give the corresponding operator, e.g., <= yields ≤.
Greek letters are given by an asterisk followed by a corresponding latin letter, e.g., *d yields δ.

> They had no way to outlaw slavery without an amendment.

Not true. States could outlaw slavery. Regardless, neither state laws nor federal constitutional amendment happened.

> But the South read the writing on the wall, it was going to be outlawed sooner or later

Not only slavery, but agriculture-hostile tariffs, state sovereignty, Southern political representation in general.

Given the events following the Civil War, it does seem they were on target.

Your coal fired power station would like to have a word.
1. You would not be allowed to take such documents on a random business trip to the UK. You are required to protect and treat them as confidential.
If you were going to expose them to legal counsel in the UK for some reason, you would have had to seek the court's permission, etc.

2. The reason to assume is it because the story essentially implies it.

They didn't stop the guy and confiscate the stuff he had, they ordered him to produce them. If he had them with them, they wouldn't have to order him to do that. They would just escort him to his hotel room and take them :)

3. The story is also wrong about contempt, etc, at least on the set of facts they present.

The correct answer is to say "I am a citizen of the US, i am not the legal holder or custodian of these documents, i would like to speak to my embassy immediately". Let it be fought over in court.

Especially given our president, he would have made a big scene over the UK doing this to a US citizen, minimum.

Six4three LLC is a US company, its founder, ted kramer, is, as far as i can tell from court docs, a us citizen. They are not represented by an UK law firm.

Thats not at all what the States’ Rights argument refers to, and you know that.
States rights wasn't good enough for them. Before the Civil War, many people in the South wanted to expand slavery to more places including new US territories and Nicaragua [1].

If they hadn't been so eager to have their way nationally, it's possible the Civil War could have been avoided.

I love this so much! Musical comedy is a favorite genre of mine, like this[1], for example.

Re your plan:

1. I'm dubious this is a top-priority. I'd probably focus on the content for a while before focusing on swag and other perks. Patrons, especially early patrons, are there to be supportive. They aren't looking for "things". They want more of your quality stuff in the world. (This is just my attitude as a patron. I could be wrong. Are your patrons are clamoring for stuff? Have you asked them?)

2. Why not focus on the content and going viral organically? You're already at the top of HN. Keep doing more things like this and save your money! Have you seen First Round Capital's holiday videos? They get tens of thousands of views. I don't see any reason why your videos couldn't organically get a similar number.

3. If you have a newer phone, the cameras are pretty solid and probably good enough for a first video. I've used a DSLR in the past to make a medium-quality music video. I'd even consider using whatever webcam your computer comes with and doing something super low-budget to start, such as you simply saying the lyrics. Another quick improvement idea: instead of a static screen why not put the lyrics in the video?

> The Civil War was about slavery

I believe the "Civil War was about states' rights" line began in the 19th century [1], around the same time as "the number of Confederate memorial installations peaking around 1910 — 50 years after the end of the Civil War and at the height of Jim Crow" [2].

In reality, "Confederate states did claim the right to secede, but no state claimed to be seceding for that right. In fact, Confederates opposed states’ rights — that is, the right of Northern states not to support slavery" in "Northern states [failing] to 'fulfill their constitutional obligations' by interfering with the return of fugitive slaves to bondage" [3].

[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-myths-about-why-...
The North was willing to let the South keep slaves. Why then did the South feel it necessary to secede? A major grievance of the South was the North's failure to honor the fugitive slave act. Had the Northern states not exercised this right (weather they legally had it or not), we might not have had a civil war.

Granted, I doubt this is what the South has in mind when citing State's rights as a justification.

This is a English speaking forum, so news in other languages are usually ignorer or killed, unless it's extremely interesting, it's the original source and there is no equivalent in English.

For many of the past 6 years, I actually had the freedom to do what I wanted and I naturally gravitated back to software development, so that's where I will spend most of my time - likely working on open-source libraries and utilities to help other developers.

I would, of course, structure my days differently and work fewer hours.

Other than that I'd also use the time to take courses about topics and learning skills outside of my typical areas of interest to build up a broader knowledge base.
Not sure why, but I couldn't respond to your comment for quite some time.

I'm not sure what you're asking re: what would remain. Housing as a human right, I guess? There's no good reason for landlords to exist, nor do I understand why you would want housing to be a commodity especially considering we live in a post-2008 world.
I had to take this line (Moorgate to Enfield from platform 9) during a strike once, and it was the creepiest experience: across all carriages, there was about two non-white people.

I have a master's in Psychological research and have worked on clinical smart apps. Only insurance companies and entrepreneurs, rather than qualified subject matter experts, are trying to replace therapy with them, because they aren't therapy. The only FDA approved 'smart app' currently is for forcing compliance from outpatient drug addicts in court mandated treatment programs.

The apps you refer to are appropriate for the 'worried well', and people unfamiliar with the basics of mental hygiene. They aren't remotely intended as a replacement for anything currently in the clinical arsenal, which requires a safe, human space with a trained and talented professional to make a difference. And, even then, it's not a sure thing. It's not something you can wrap in a chatbot, journal, or 'daily checkin' survey.

We have had the paper equivalents for decades, and yet they have never grown to be anything more than adjunctive tools that they are today. The self-help section of bookstores has always been the butt of jokes, for good reason.

One thing I found interesting that the author didn't seem to notice is that the text of the Star Wars opening crawl in the behind-the-scenes photo[1] is radically different from the version that saw release.

The crawl that we've all seen is only 4 sentences long: two in the first paragraph, then two 'paragraphs' of one multi-clause sentence each.

The crawl pictured in the tweet[1] is a much wordier mess, and may well be the original crawl Lucas showed to friends and executives before Brian de Palma edited the text down for him. It also features something similar to Dan Perri's semi-rejected logotype at the top (cut off unless you click in or view the image directly), the angled 'Star Wars' block logo most prominently seen on the original posters[2] for the film.

> The Fourth of July wasn’t strongly celebrated until the 90s (after Gulf War I) in the small southern town I was living in during the 80s/90s

Vacationed in Charleston a few months ago. Dropped into the Old Slave Mart Museum [1]. I learned something, there, that for the first time made the Civil War make sense (from the Southern perspective).

Imagine a Southern plantation owner's balance sheet. What do you think would be the most valuable asset? I used to think it would be land, buildings and equipment. But it wasn't. It was enslaved people. Something like 90% of the wealth of Southern land owners was in their human capital.

Most of those enslaved people weren't owned outright–they were leveraged. Most bills of sale I saw said 1/3 cash down with the rest to be paid in installments. Much of the down payment, it turns out, was also borrowed. (Enslaved people being mobile, fungible assets meant creditors valued them as collateral.)

So, in summary, you had the wealthiest people in these states being leveraged to the point of ruin on their enslaved populations. That meant their banking system depended on the continuing value of the South's enslaved people. (New York, too, though to a lesser degree, but I digress.) So the calculus wasn't "we keep slaves and stay very rich, or give them up and become less rich." It was "slaves or bust." This is why the Gettysburg address hit like a thermobaric blast front--it amounted to a rebooting of the South's elite ranks.

Yeah, that's consistent with what I've experienced too. Though I almost wonder if its association with Dukes of Hazzard that really cemented it's place as an "identity" symbol for a certain group of southerners (lower/working class white male).

The run on US flags after 9/11 was something else. I remember when my mom begrudgingly bought a flag magnet 2 weeks after it all. Apparently the neighbors were giving her side-eye for having the only flagless pickup truck on the street.
You stop. See how productive that is?
I could see developing a checklist of things to look for during code review. It might be fairly tedious since you’d probably need to scrutinize each line.

Code review guidelines or style guides come close to being checklists. There are also various kinds of static analysis like CheckStyle, FindBugs, etc. that check for common mistakes.

Of course, statically typed languages have type checking built in that prevents mistakes. Plenty of languages already have type systems and/or object constructs prevent the class of problems that led to Heartbleed (bounds checked arrays IIRC).
While the documentation gets updated, you can think of it as similar to using a Redis list, wish LPUSH and RPOP.

I have done some bamboo construction here in Thailand. In addition to mold problems, untreated bamboo gets eaten by powder post beetles. Treating the bamboo with a borax/boric acid solution preserves it for many years and does not affect its strength. I have bamboo rafters on a cottage that are still solid after more than 10 years. A few untreated pieces at the edges were eaten up in 3 years.

The way I did the treatment was to use a long piece of sharpened rebar to punch out the membrane between the sections in the bamboo poles, leaving the last one intact. Then stand the poles vertically and pour in the solution and let it soak for several days. So I did not need a tank to soak them in. Also, soaking them in a tank is not very effective because the outer skin of the bamboo poles is pretty water proof so the solution doesn't soak into the walls which contain all the sugar that the power post beetles crave. After treatment you let them dry thoroughly and then they are ready for use.

You need to protect the treated bamboo from the weather since the chemicals are water soluble so the ends and any cracks will allow rain to leech it out and expose it to attack by fungus and pests. Also not suitable for direct contact with the ground for the same reason.

Other treatment methods I have seen that are aimed at converting the sugar to make the bamboo unattractive to pests: Roast the poles over a low fire - results in loss of strength. Soak them in a running stream for a few weaks - results in a very foul smell that takes a long time to go away.

Bamboo construction is very interesting but there are some real challenges with making good connections with it. It has great tensile strength which all comes from the skin of the bamboo. Putting holes in it, nails, screws, bolts cause the bamboo to split, making it difficult to take advantage of its tensile strength. Connections that grab the outer circumference make the most of the tensile strength but due to the high dimensional variance of bamboo nearly every connection ends up being custom made.
