Is that a moral distinction? Then both are right. It's not 'yours', but the law says otherwise.

The reason is, the common con game where criminals would send expensive items to someone, often a recently deceased person, and demand payment. The surviving family would assume that good ol' Dad had ordered it and pay up.

The item was usually junk but with a high price tag. So the con had little to lose.

Anyway, items mailed to you without being explicitely ordered are yours to keep, legally.
My bad. For some reason I thought I could actually run programs, but looks like that isn’t the case.
Good to see more C/subset-C compilers being written. Besides the immense pedagogical value, they are also useful for preventing the "trusting trust" attack: https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/

I will also make a suggestion to use precedence climbing instead of plain recursive descent for the parser; it makes the parser even simpler and table-driven, which is important with a language like C that has many precedence levels.
What usually happens in my neighborhood is the demented postman delivers my neighbors packages and letters to me. This is a different situation of course and I always hand carry it to the correct address.
If you were simply confused you could have just asked for clarification. I think you know perfectly well who the anti-net neutrality group is, and are fully smart enough to read my shorthand of 'cable providers' as a metonym for 'telecommunications service providers who are opposed to net neutrality and have lobbied against it, as well as their associated vendors.' Sure hope that investigation doesn't turn up anything untoward.
I think it's quite the stretch to describe someone as a celebrity just because they have 800k instagram followers. And yeah, that site is full of scammers with high follower counts.

So why don't they tell readers what unit vectors actually are, in the general case? It's a rather important elementary concept, isn't it?

Why bother describing a specific case using ambiguous language (the parentheses) and omit the one property that actually makes a unit vector a unit vector?

Bad writing in a math textbook is a weird thing to defend.
I didn’t say the cable broke, I said somebody cut it. In that situation they’ve likely tampered with the safety clamps as well.
> blatant violations of fair trade, huge import taxes on foreign goods, great firewall blocking any foreign purchase easily, hugely subsidised mail, forced ownership sharing, lowered safety regulations, lack of pollutant regulation

'Free' trade benefits industrialized nations, while mercantilism benefits developing nations. Every currently industrialized nation has, at some point in its past, been incredible protectionist, blatantly violated IP laws, had atrocious safety, employment, and pollution regulations, and large taxes on foreign imports.

China is just catching up to what the rest of the developed world has gone through.

Are you expecting them to look at the history of how the United States, and Europe developed, and go: "Well, gee, protectionism, lax safety regulations, and access to foreign resource markets worked really well for all these other countries... But we shouldn't repeat their success!"

There’s been a huge propaganda campaign since the 1930s trying to roll back the New Deal. So many familiar faces and concepts owe their familiarity to a stream of corporate money which started flowing to Christian libertarian pastors, magazines, etc. and, later, televangelists and movements pushing for Eisenhower-era introductions of public displays of business-friendly Christianity. Kevin Kruse wrote a great book outlining the history:

Market forces working through reputation generally do take care of verification fairly well in many countries - even more so in this era of free access to information. I find it ironic that in "socialist" (India, China) countries, these things primarily seem to run via free market forces with little or no licensing restrictions of who can practice a trade while in "free market" countries, there's endless red tape of who is allowed to carry out what trade.

Ultimately these systems are not about quality, they're about restricting free market in the labor pool to keep prices in a trade high.

I'm sorry, why do you think so? I'm not saying she deserved to die (in an ethical sense) or that I'm happy she's dead - quite the opposite, a death is never a happy thing for anyone involved and I'm sure this woman is no exception.

What I'm trying to get at is, if someone uses a medical appliance in a way that is stated very clearly to potentially cause risks, and then they die as a direct result of this improper usage of the medical device, it isn't necessarily as unexpected as, say, getting hit by a bus.

Here's an integration problem. Lets compare a project to put 100MW of power coming online from renewable vs nuclear spread over 10 years. In the Renewable case we put 10MW online per year every year and start producing power, in the nuclear case, we finish the plant after 10 years and start producing power. How much carbon do we offset in the two scenarios after 10 years?

For bonus points, even if the cost were exactly the same per unit of power, do a cost analysis of which costs more to implement under the different project timelines, using different financing scenarios?

Well if you have 500 people willing to pay $500 for a course I would call you a celebrity. Not because of the number of followers, but because of the value of those followers.
Wow, great write up. Thanks a lot for taking the course and talking about it, perhaps it was because you went into it willing to burn $500 but many would stay silent.

I can't believe at the missed business opportunity here. It sounds like she could have easily pulled 7 figures from running those classes. Even if she hired a "business manager" of sorts for a cut to grow her lessons, it would have been a really financially rewarding endevour.

One thing that boggles the mind is how many people were not planning to request a refund! I couldn't imagine spending $500, not receiving what I paid for, and being okay with that.

Honestly, it still surprises me how much some Instagrammers make. A friend of mine runs a food IG (~3,000 followers local to the area) and pulls in 1-2 free meals a week, effectively funding the content creation costs. Another friend is in the ~40,000 follower range and gets paid something like $50-$200 + meals for each event -- you just go and book a time slot on their website.

Yet for me, IG feels so fake, but there are enough repeat advertisers that there must be real users out there who follow and purchase influencer recommendations.
I've always known this as "snow plough" rather than pizza wedge. Mind you, my first boots were made of leather and lace up. To be fair they were pretty old when they were chucked over to me aged seven in 1977. They needed to be smeared in dubbin for water proofing and I had bloody cold feet. Luckily they were binned after my first season.

Alpine skis were nearly straight sided when I were a lad and "carvers" only started to appear in the 80's. Transitioning from snow plough, sometimes through stem christies (turn downhill ski and lift and bring uphill ski into it) to proper parallel turns was a rite of passage. Modern skis lend themselves to point and turn much earlier.

When I teach I try to do both snow plough and parallel together because they are both useful techniques. Snow plough for control of speed and stability and parallel for general usage.

One technique I rarely see these days (apart from me) is the "kick turn" which is where you turn yourself 180 degrees in place, regardless of slope. It looks a lot cooler than back sliding and then wacking in a quick slow speed turn.
Don't think of it as having been scammed, but moreso that you paid your $500 tuition to the school of life. You won't make that mistake again.

What honestly shocks me is the "aw shucks" attitude in the email from Teachable. I get that they're sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place, and they did issue as many refunds as they could, but to turn to students and say "we've paid out the remaining amount of money... so sorry about that!" is like rubbing salt into the wound.

If she moved to a custom payment gateway, they probably know what it is, and that gateway ought to know about the scam she's pulling. After all, they have an incentive to keep these bad actors from using their systems.

While we’re still using secondary radar (which gets an azimuth and range return from the radar site), it’s trivial to ID fake ADS-B outputs. I don’t know if they have filtering in place now or not.

Do that and keep doing it, and it would not be hard to find your transmitter.

When we lived in Carson City, Nevada, I met an attorney who worked for the legislature to draft laws based on whatever idea they came up with. He was supposed to try to keep things Constitutional, decide whether to put in severability clauses, etc. All states and the federal government hire attorneys like this.

So, if there’s a drafting error, it may not technically be the politician’s fault, but it’s not Comcast’s either.

Similarly, tslint operates best as a Typescript plugin and so lint rules in Typescript still can happen at transpile time and aren't necessarily that much different in practice from compiler errors. Still bugs me a little that there's not a higher-kinded type or pattern that I can come up with to do it "for real" in the compilation.

I simply can’t stand LED Christmas lights. Not only do they have a very different color temperature, but the refresh rate is so low that they appear to move when you look at them and it’s quite hard to focus.

It seems like GCC 8 warns me by default, so someone must have realized that this was stupid:

That actually makes sense economically. Politically, though, what's going to happen is that people aren't going to want to pay taxes to service the government's debt (even if in advance they said they would). The consequences of the much-larger government debt without increased taxes could be anywhere from "somewhat negative" to "catastrophic".

Ask HN: Are you using machine learning to do UI testing?
Web and mobile UIs are constantly changing slightly, and testing frameworks tend to be brittle; has anyone had luck applying machine learning to make them more robust — either the inputs or the outputs?

Or "Here's what I want; tell me if it changes fundamentally, but not if it changes a little."

I wouldn't be suprised. I've done some unclassified govt contracting and it wasn't uncommon for them to include clauses in software purchase contracts that they had to be re-imbursed a certain amount of money any time a security vulnerability was discovered in the purchased software. The reasoning was that they had to spend money identifying, reporting, and updating systems, so the vendor had to pay for wasted resources.
Funny, how the misogynistic mob finds a defender here, seeing the good within the hate. Meanwhile, the dozens of incidents cited of sexists and racists rarely get more than a "I, too, believe this is the end of free speech".
You usually want to leave the water boiling for a minimum of a minute or longer depending on boiling temperature of your location. Higher altitude (lower pressure) reduces the temperature required for water to boil which means you will want to boil the water longer.

From my understanding, the reasoning behind this is to make sure the entire container of water is at temperature and not just hot spots in the fluid.

From what some others have posted, I suspect the underlying bug here is that a database corrupted in the right way can cause arbitrary code execution. Since Sqlite suggests use cases that require loading untrusted databases, this is a bug in its own right.

Then, the rest is "to be safe" measures, because it was possible for carefully crafted SQL to intentionally corrupt the database in controllable ways, including triggering the former bug. This isn't really the bug fix, but rather a measure to reduce the attack surface against similar undiscovered bugs.

This is speculation, though.

It is, actually. When something binds to localhost, there's still potential for privilege escalation vulnerability, since any process can connect to the port - so if there's an exploit, a low-privileged process could hijack a higher-privileged one. Localhost sockets are still a security boundary.

Since SQLite in and of itself is just a library, it doesn't have that problem. You have to expose it to untrusted inputs manually somehow (e.g. by setting up a socket).
