No, it stops at the copyright law boundary of derivative work.

Whether or not a court would find that to be equivalent to an OS process boundary probably varies by jurisdiction and detailed facts of particular cases.

I suppose but it might be interesting to note that you didn't have to wait for Amazon for that. A lot of people don't know that there exists a fully managed offering from MongoDB. It's called Atlas... not trying to sell here - just informing people that may read your comment and think it was a valid motivation for Amazon to create their DocumentDB offering.

If I’m at the point in a dispute with a company where I’m invoking a credit card chargeback, I’m NEVER wanting to do business with them again, for any reason. I’ve always assumed chargeback == bridge burned.

> There's definitely not enough evidence to say Oumuamua is an artifact of an alien civilization. But there isn't enough evidence to say it isn't either.

This is why the Occam's razor rule is important. He formulate a (weird) hypothesis, he thought 3 or 4 ways to prove that the hypothesis is false, then he failed to prove that the hypothesis is false. Then the conclusion is???

The possibilities are:

* A weird asteroid

* A disabled alien probe

* A functional alien probe

* Something more weird

All four variants have almost the same level of support now. But using the Occam's razor we should favor the first one until more evidence is discovered.
It’s also amazing how many people on Twitter clearly do not remember the 90s where we raised the top marginal rate and experienced an unprecedented run of economic expansion.
Just cancelled my netflix this morning when I heard about another rate hike (also hadn't been using it much recently). Can you share what they meant by "low carb", how long the study ran for, and how much weight was lost?

Because I can tell you one thing for sure, the reason I lost weight (and I was only slightly overweight) is because I ate less. And I ate less because I craved less food.

I'm open to the idea this is due to more home cooking rather than low carb per se but I doubt it... I could possibly test this by eating some noodles or homemade pizza or something.

Try adding following optimizations to your binary radix tree code:

1) Path compression: avoid having intermediate empty nodes, when possible. E.g. replace root-left(void)-left(void)-left(void)-left(item) with root-[000]left(item). Because of the node reduction, you'll get better data cache usage.

2) Use a memory pool for the nodes: you'll save because of avoiding malloc() overhead, plus the possibility of using e.g. 32-bit indexes instead of pointers. Like in (1), this would help you reduce the memory usage, being able to put more nodes in the data cache.

3) Nth level lookup table, so you can jump e.g. instead of starting from the root node, you could go directly to the Nth level. For a minor cost in the insertion, for updating the LUT, you could get an important speed-up (2x-3x, more, or less, depending on your data and how you tune the LUT -fixed level LUT, adaptative-level LUT, etc.-).
Interestingly enough, both Oculus and Pebble were started by sole founders. Others even though officially titled "co-founders" joined later if I'm not mistaken.
Matt Levine today: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-01-16/wework...

"Yes it really does seem like a conflict of interest! “A WeWork spokesman said all related-party deals are reviewed and approved by the board or an independent committee and disclosed to investors,” so that is good, but on the other hand, “Mr. Neumann, the 39-year-old executive who founded WeWork in 2010, is WeWork’s largest individual shareholder and has voting control over the company,” so it is not clear that the board can say no. (He got that control in 2014 with some super-voting stock; before that, he once tried to do a related-party deal and got turned down by the board.)

"One thing I will say, though, is that if you told me that a privately owned real estate company was engaging in transactions with its controlling shareholder and CEO that raised possible conflicts of interest, I would be like “ha, yeah, that’s the real estate industry for you.” Conflicts of interest are more common there, as everyone knows these days after years of stories about Donald Trump’s business dealings, and it is not surprising for a founder/controller/CEO to be involved in a deal with his company on multiple sides and in multiple ways. Private tech startups, on the other hand, tend to be a bit more pristine. They are not complex moneymaking structures for their founders but mission-driven enterprises where everyone’s incentives are ostentatiously and lavishly aligned: If the company gets big, the founder becomes a zillionaire; if not, he walks away with only his modest salary and a track record for failing ambitiously. WeWork is a weird company because it is a real estate company that thinks it’s a tech startup; it seems to have the culture and New-Age-y patter and grandiose ambition and valuation of a tech company. But what if, deep down in its heart, it really is a real estate company?"
No one would ever pay 70% tax, even without the accountants and advisors, because 70% would be the top marginal rate. Their first $10M would be taxed at a lower rate.

If any of that is true why did they bother lowering the rates last year?
Precisely. I couldn't agree with your point more wholeheartedly. Why, only last winter I solved my own personal encounter with climate change by playing the travel-insurance card when nature couldn't be counted on to guarantee my ski vacation. We as a society should buck up and similarly snap our fingers at this little bump in our existence. Show some fortitude, humans! Less hand wringing and more hand waving!
Since blood is being continually destroyed and regenerated what then is so "young" about young blood? What makes it different? Since blood is a precious resource of which is already in limited supply is this really a good use? Are we setting up a situation where people actually needing the blood to live will die due to someone's vanity obsession with getting young blood? Seems like a bad development to me.

That is unfortunate. That makes me curious about Voyager 1/2. We put drawings and objects on it for other civilizations to study. I wonder if they will have a similar dilemma; in that, it is moving too fast.

A friend of my dad has a plain black body 50s Telecaster, which has obviously been well-used and loved, plenty of patina and signs of countless hours of being played, the frets are worn almost flat. It has a beautiful rich sound and he says it's an absolute joy to play. He takes good care of it, but he's promised that he'll never restore it or ruin any signs of its history and personality, which I think is absolutely the right choice.

Said person also still owns his 70s Rickenbacker 4001, in immaculate condition. Needless to say, I am intensely envious ;-)

Can someone summarize the tradeoffs between radix trees and (various kinds of) B-tree? (I.e., LSM-trees, B-epsilon trees, classic B(+)-trees.)

For something like this application, which seems heavily read-biased, it seems like a classic B-tree would be great. Or even a bloom filter, although the tradeoff there for false positives is maybe not suitable.
This is a relatively new trend I've observed in recent years.

I've lived in IL decades ago, nobody started sentences with "I mean" unless they were clarifying what they last said.

People have started doing it here in CA as well, it's not unique to IL and it's not a long-established pattern.

As far as I can tell, it's basically the new "uhhh" people would use to stall as they organize their thoughts. What surprises me is how habitual it has become, to the extent that people now start written sentences with "I mean" when they're not clarifying anything at all.
So, in summary, what you're saying is "we shouldn't try do to anything about it because the really rich people are going to find loopholes anyway"? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm actually trying to confirm that that's your point.

The only people who accidentally OD on Oxycontin are going to be either those who for some reason take the highest dose without any previous tolerance, or else toddlers who get into them. The overwhelming majority of people dying from Oxycontin are going to be those who mix it with alcohol, heroin, fentanyl, methadone, benzos, grapefruit juice, etc. It's all but impossible to overdose on if used as directed.

"You sure seemed to understand it on the phone screen"

"Phone screen? What phone screen? My recruiter gave me this plane ticket and told me to come interview on-site"
the counterargument is that the invention of the corporation (along with relatively lenient bankruptcy laws) is what allowed western nations, particularly the US, to dominate the world economy because the corporate veil allowed corporations to take bigger risks in creating new products and industries.

but yes, the corporate veil is too thick, as shown by poor societal outcomes like this one. however, let's not throw out the baby with the bath water--we should lower the burden of proof for prosecuting such wrongdoings without completely losing the innovative effects of the corporate form. (we also need political reform so that policy makers can promote prosocial behavior, like proactively internalizing externalities like this rather than trying to clean it up after the fact).
I'm no expert but suspect the empathy deficits present differently. Seems more willful on the part of the NPD, perhaps.

Honestly, my biggest problem with telecasters are the sound of the pickups. I know they're easy to swap out, but those stock 'lipstick' ones on pretty much every Fender or knockoff i've tried just seem to have kind of a hollow lifeless sound. The bridge pickups sound like the neck pickups on other guitars and the neck ones just seem to have a hollow twanging sound I've never really liked. It does seem like swapping pickups on telecasters is pretty common.

The motivation is the money, not the rate of taxation on your income above a certain threshold. People still work to be somewhat richer even if there's a headwind. History and logic demonstrate this. The point at which the rich say "meh, screw it" is short of 100%, but it's not like we need a regressive set of tax tables to get people to work.

"Voyager 1 will eventually come within 1.6 light-years of the star Gliese 445 — in astronomical terms, this will be a near-miss. But don't hold your breath; the "encounter," for lack of a better term, won't occur for another 40,000 years.

After that, it gets a little difficult to predict Voyager's journey, as chaotic motions within the galaxy make accurate predictions of stellar movements challenging. But given the wide swaths of empty space between the stars, the spacecraft's visit near Gilese 445 is probably the closest that Voyager 1 will approach another star, ever."
