Credit guru
I’ve been working with Lexington Law for about 2 years but couldn’t see any positive result until I read some reviews aboutHACKWEST@WRITEME.COM and let me tell you I couldn’t be any happier with the results. Hack West Credit Repair has removed so much off my credit and has guided me in the right direction to the point where I was able to purchase my dream car and truck. Now we have set the next goal on purchasing a home for me. I will continue to use their services even if my credit is good. I want to thank the entire team of Hack West for always being there when I call (+1 (424) 307 2638) or emailed that’s true customer service to the MAX!!! Thanks again.
Then people will do Probe Request scanning, which circumvents most MAC randomizations.
My understanding is that the so-called “nuclear option” was eliminating the 60-vote threshold only for Federal branch nominees and judicial appointments, not for basic legislation and particularly not the budget.

Eliminating the 60-vote threshold for legislation would destroy a massive part of what makes the Senate the Senate. It is stunningly worse policy than spending $6b on marginally effective border security.

But because Republicans didn’t do that, and Dems won’t vote for even $2 of Wall funding the only blame for the current shutdown is to Republicans. Do I understand your logic correctly?
Things like to prevent XSS should just be in any web programming standart lib. A lot of bugs are just there because people have to write for so many problems there own solution.

Now we move so many things to a just digital world. But the ground is just like sand. I often think todays software is just like the tower of Pisa.

I work in automation industry with PLCs. There are funny things possible with "Industry 4.0" but .. to keep it secure .. to keep it running for 20-30-40 years ..
Heh, apparently Nintendo did have NES, but it was cancelled in 2016:

As I said, the presumption of innocence is extremely important!
IME these usually have shortcomings that the business won't accept, a few I've come across:

1. Only AD or only database accounts when you need a combination of both,

2. Only offering role based security when you need something more granular. Side note - a lot of managers expect to be able to jest drop this in a a late requirement, but it usually requires significant work.

3. Not offering documentation on integration. If it includes a permissions system for instance then I also need a way to join against a table of granted permissions for performance.

4. Providing their own UI that's hard to get around. Great for a PoC but often harder to integrate with the rest of the system than writing the login page from scratch.

Generally I try to use an existing authentication system but have often had to create a custom security framework.
DMV in my area is quite pleasant. Then again, the TSA is also quite pleasant (in demeanor, not the inconvenience), so maybe I'm just in a pleasant area.

I really wish we could just abolish the TSA and let the airlines and their insurance work it out with the airports. Things were way better before 9/11 when I didn't feel like a criminal when I need to ride on an airplane.
These are just tools, the real problem is the complacent, worse... cooperating population.
Not on the diagnostic side in this case but yes, open sourcing was both to help other cancer centres manage their QC data better and operate more efficiently as well as an attempt to attract others to contribute to the project.
> It's much better to accept your ignorance and defer to someone who does know security.

Society doesn't currently offer any mechanism to pay for that though. E.g. if you as a developer make a product, you can't force VCs to fund a security audit, nor can you force security folks to work for equity, nor is there any public money available to pay for this.
To put things into context.

1. These are Urban Homes.

2. There are roughly 20M people jumping to new cities and Urban areas every year. For years China has keep a roughly two years buffer zone, I think the rate of new housing is the same and rate of people going into Urban has declined, so a slight increase in terms of buffer ( closer to three years now ).

3. Most of the "Ghost Cities" do get fill up quickly, once the policy are in place for their turn.

These so called Home vacancies and ticking time bomb has been cycling through media every year. And it isn't happening ( yet ). There are 500M+ still living in rural areas ( Yes I know the number is a little hard to believe ) At least another 300M to go from rural areas to Urban, with 200M likely not going to get their turn as they age.

So from that perspective ( As much as I hate to admit it ) China really is still a developing country.
> At the end of the day, the blame for projects that don’t fit the spirit of the law rests with Congress for enacting such a flexible set of incentives, says the Urban Institute’s Theodos. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

I would take that a step further, the idea that the legislature's constituents still need to operate on a sense of fairness is ridiculous. It never ever ever ever happens that way.

Someone wrote the Opportunity zone idea and shoved it into the tax law when the consensus looked favorable. They sold it as a way to make things more fair or deal with inequality or something, but why? Is that really necessary? It is effective though, and the governors did their part.
Your farm has to be complex enough to need help using it. You either have to make an absolutely massive farm or intentionally make it hard to use/maintain.
Well, I've heard that in many areas, banks are giving out zero interest loans to government employees in the amount of their regular paycheck. So, unless these people don't know about these programs, they are still getting paid, and the loans will be repaid when the shutdown ends.
But the nature of Probe Requests make tracking very easy.
> The clang code loads the 8-bit words into 16-bit vector instructions and parallelizes using a tree-algorithm to minimize dependencies.

You specified the "int sum", so that means "sum" needs to follow 32-bit overflow semantics. I don't think it is possible to do 8-bit

> But neither of these compilers are able to optimize for code size while using AVX

You can totally do that. You're specifying -O3, which is "speed over size". If you want size, you want -Os, and then use -ftree-vectorize to enable the auto-vectorization.
Depends on if you include sewing machines and looms as hand made. I personally don’t think they qualify making just about everything outside of knitting machine made.
For me, the "don't buy pre built" mantra essentially means "research on what you want and buy accordingly".

I have heard that there are some prebuilts that are worth it. But you won't be able to know which ones are good until you had experience building your own.
Interesting! I only looked at live trademarks, explains how I missed that.

And I still don't know why the hell people are downvoting this whole thread without providing any actual retort…
For me, screentime has worked really well. I don't have social media apps and notifications are on for critical apps i.e. Calendar, Slack, Journal entry (I achieved it with discipline).

Now the sad part is you can still access them on your browser and because of gamification, it is so easy to lose the track of time on those sites. I used to keep reading articles for hours even though I haven't finished a single task for the day.

What screentime offers me is a check which actually what I needed. It is like a teacher/friend who reminds me you are spending more time than supposed to in categories which is not important for you. At the moment, social media seems waste of time for me and so I set it up for a 5-minute limit. If I am reading important stuff on social media and it binges me the limit time. I think that check helps in reminding what is urgent and what is important and don't mind it as a problem as other people commented.
The California Republican Party, sure, has done a horrible job keeping voters over the last decade, following the national party on its rightward march

It's the Democrats (I was one, until recently) who have been moving left. There has been some reaction from the Republicans, but the majority of the shift has been on the left towards the left.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caQF4aCdQvE&t=817s

But they aren't systematic excluded by government in the manner of a single-party state

Yet. I'd seen some nutty Craiglist ads, where people refused to live with anyone who didn't support Bernie, including other Democrats. (For the record, I think he wasn't treated fairly by his party.) Maybe it's the circles I'd been running in, but people here in the Bay Area are quite something. I'd never felt more comfortable in groups of only Asians until I moved here. This sort of toxic denigration and talking over me, like I'm a foolish creature from a Dr. Doolitle movie -- I'd only seen it from right-leaning bigots in Ohio or South Carolina. First time in my life, I've gotten it from the left.

Best that I can tell, there are a lot of people here who think it would be perfectly ok to mistreat wholesale groups of people who are more or less ordinary citizens, ordinary Republicans. There are a lot of people here who would enthusiastically denigrate innocent people, not because they necessarily disagree, but just because they'd ask certain questions. The saddest thing about it, is that such behavior comes from what I used to think was my own "tribe." I see too many attitudes that are not befitting for truth seekers, lovers of knowledge, and Liberal attitudes towards discourse and civic life.
I've had better experiences with DataGrip, but if I wasn't at a place that would pay for proper tools, DBeaver is an OK substitute. Neither, though, have the big thing I want in an analytical SQL workspace:

Simple charts

A whole lot of my work ends up with a three- or four-column table with one column of buckets, and the other being counts of how many things ended up in that bucket. I'd love a view where I could render that into a line or bar chart as a sanity check, and have it update in real-time as I change my query. Instead, I end up having to constantly copy/paste into Excel and do it there.

Yes, I should be using a proper BI or visualization tool for real reports. But sometimes I just need a quick line chart to show that yes, that one count is going in the right direction.

Intended by the people with the power to influence it, obviously.

We are in the lowest default rate period since the Great Recession, I don’t know where you’re getting this sky-is-falling take on the economy.
The opportunity is for the land owners and developers.
Sewing machines and looms don’t result in hand made clothes.

High end clothing is generally machine precision with custom sizing not hand made. Hand made cloth is an interesting novelty, but rare.
But if you're reading reddit threads on this I think you're several levels removed from the average person who plays games. Sure "gamers" will read up on this and be part of the gaming community but PC games are now mass entertainment and not the niche it used to be.

Few people build their own PC. Many more play games.
Cloud functions in Go – An intro on sharing code (locally) and writing functions
By what mechanism do you think poor people in the country will benefit from this?
Pretty sure if it's java based you can download it and run it entirely in user space if that is OK. Of course, making an end run around IT policy isn't always an advisable solution even if it does work.
This book uses BASIC, which I just find quite unreadable.

I don't know of what other resources are available, but I do know I've seen some that use Matlab. I've never played with Octave much, so I don't know how compatible it is; can you just directly copy Matlab code, or do you need to do translations?

Anyhow, if there's a book that uses Matlab rather than BASIC, and could be used in Octave, that might be more readable. I would find C, C++, Python, or Rust more familiar, though.
I agree wholeheartedly, and subscribe to the whole suite of JetBrains tools. Absolutely fantastic value.
yes I also for no second believe this cheapo led ring with filter is the hypothetical camera detector used in cinemas, but that instead it is based on reflections. A voyeur-run room could simply use lots of glass beads in an artistic way to decorate the room like glueed to the walls etc.

I'm not sure how the cinema version works though, or might the IR filter be a dielectric high-pass filter (similar to how anti-reflective coatings work), passing red but reflecting near IR?

Optically in the near IR that would be equivalent to a mirror between sensor and lense, for simplicity lets pretend the filter is nearly in the same plane as the sensor in the focal plane, then parallel rays focused at infinity would converge to a point on the mirror, which means the light should retroreflect, but the intensity of retroreflection should be highest at the optical axis, and quickly fall off away rom the axis... that makes for 4 DOF to "scan" direction to aim the beam of light, and 2-dimensional position with respect to aperture... so you need to be either lucky or have a very good idea of typical orientation and position of the camera, which would also explain the usage in cinema's you know the orientation of the camera so now only 2d of freedomm left...
I think they do train people, it's just not formal. And the other issue is the companies have no clue what their doing most of the time anyway, so you just end up with IT people on the market will all sorts of nonsense opinions.
It's funny, people against the wall keep bringing up the cost/effectiveness of the wall, as if Democrats would support the wall if it was only more fiscally responsible or effective, meanwhile people who support the wall would probably be willing to spend 5-10x the estimated cost, they'd be willing to spend $50-100B if that's what it took.

So, if walls don't work, isn't that an even better argument for Democrats to just give Trump his wall money? After all, it won't have any substantial effect on Americans, but this shutdown sure will if it keeps going. Or are Democrats more concerned about being the party of anti-Trump than being the adults in the room? After all, every right-thinking person knows Trump is the child throwing a tantrum in this shutdown. So wouldn't we be better served by Democrats taking care of Americans by ending the shutdown than teaching Trump a lesson in the minutiae of wall effectiveness per dollar spent?
kind of curious about the passionate avoidance of installing Java - is that an anti-Oracle stance or something else?

(I tend to be the opposite - if I can find a Java based tool to do the job I'll choose that because they tend to be very self contained, don't often require messing around with other OS dependencies ...)
To me the it just looks like a screen hooked to a acceptable wristband.

Because that's what it is.

A completely different world from a beautiful watch.

The "fashion accessory" factor is related to the iPhone popularity: it's a relatively expensive status symbol with the Apple boost.
And not that it should matter, but I’m saying this as a republican living in California ...
In the US it's because the water rights aren't attached to the property, not so much because of the environmental impact.

Dude is wearing it because Apple paid him a sizeable amount to wear it, I reckon. ;)
Definitely a problem. Initially I really enjoyed sharing open source projects. But after a while you get a little bit fed up with the support requests and random why you no haz feature x threads on Github.
The central authorities control the central bank, the banks, and perhaps importantly: the press. And of course policy/taxation.

So they can stop a lot of rampant speculation through a variety of measures, meaning hopefully, they can kill any bubble-like blowups.

As you say, there's a lot of poor folks and a lot of empty homes, maybe that does mean a haircut for home owners, but it might possibly be done in a way that doesn't cause any bursting bubbles.

So long as there is something to underpin reality (like ex-poor people wanting homes) they can make a soft landing for all of this.

The more existential concern is: 'what then'?

The path has never been so uncertain.
That's why you don't accept things like prepaid cards for subscription services.
One of the best articles I've read in awhile.

I'd love to know more about this line: "There’s also a little flag in the DCS byte that tells the phone whether to self-destruct the message after sending it"

And also, how do towers deconvolute all those signals?
I love Github dearly but this proposal to "talk" is hard to understand. The questions we should be asking go to the economics of open source projects. Problems like overload or lack of resources look like symptoms not root causes.

My first question would be: Who are the users of your project and how did you find them?
I've never played with Octave much, so I don't know how compatible it is; can you just directly copy Matlab code, or do you need to do translations?

I'm not an expert, but I believe Octave is pretty compatible, at least with the core language. I think there are some "extra" features and libraries that don't exist in Octave, but it should be fine for many scenarios. FWIW, the earlier version of Andrew Ng's machine learning class on Coursera was Matlab / Octave based, and students using Octave were able to do everything required there with no problems.

You can find some more detailed comparison here:

This is great! Solidity tooling has been rather lacking. Truffle is better than nothing but it’s a mediocre and frequently buggy offering.
Circular references basically mean that a table is referencing itself. Any row in the table could reference any row.
It’s a cultural thing too. People in the US generally tend to have a certain idea of a life timeline: before the retirement and after. Not so in many other places. This book has a great discussion on this topic and more https://www.crossculture.com/product/when-cultures-collide/

Those factors should completely swamp anything that can get teased out of reams of data.
DBeaver support much more database products than Datagrip though.
Now I remember about forking and VM cloning issues.

Also, you live a bit far from me, but see you at Black Hat maybe :D
I find the communication tools to be lacking most, for the goal of solving the problems collaboratively. Github issues are absolutely unusable for discussions whenever there is more than 10 comments. External sites like discourse help a bit, but still far from ideal.

TL;DR: please give us a Google Wave analogue built into Github
As we're starting to move away from MS SQL Server, I'm just starting to use postgresql, and Navicat as a tool. But I'm really underwhelmed by Navicat's features and performance. It doesn't seem like a well-thought-out whole, and lacks a lot of obvious features (let's start with freakin' hotkeys for Run and Run Selected).

I just discovered DBeaver today, and while it's not up to the standards of SSMS (which is an amazing tool) with SQL Prompt, it so far beating the pants off Navicat.

BFS: big f*ckin socket?
Seems better to have extra houses vs not enough, as here in SF.
I would be interested in hearing your (and owner, coworkers, etc) honest opinion of the EPA regs prior to this shutdown. My understanding (and I very well could be wrong) is that many of the EPA's rules are overly burdensome, expensive, and unnecessary while there are other areas that go without oversight that could use it.

Certainly it is frustrating to be blocked from conducting business because you are unable to follow the regulations. But if the regulations are misguided to begin with, perhaps there is some merit in exposing that life and business can continue with reduced bureaucracy.
Might not be as much as you expect. Boats are notoriously expensive to maintain. Not to mention docking fees, etc. In other parts of the country owning a houseboat will definitely cost you more than owning a house. At that point, why not move?

You can probably save some considering how expensive the bay area is, but you're also living in cramped quarters with downsized appliances (which I guess is normal for the bay area :P). Also, boat showers really suck.
Isn’t this counterintuitive/plain risky? Cockroaches should sit under rocks not on top of them. Otherwise there’s a risk of a crush.
Ah I see. I guess you don't need many things besides the transaction hash, the UTXO amount, the timelock, the scriptpubkey
I’ve had to write tree searching algorithms at multiple companies, although I usually find myself reaching for depth-first search instead. It comes up often when dealing with hierarchies (think things like company org charts for HR software, for example).

No, your understanding was wrong. Please read up before you make claims about voting thresholds.

And Republicans have already eliminated said threshold for ramming through a supreme court nomination. I want to get this straight though: Your argument now is that parliamentary procedure was more important for Republicans than building the wall. A wall that they're claiming is a national crisis resulting in widespread issues. Enough of an issue to shut down the government over it.

If the wall was vital, then why didn't they employ the nuclear option (as was backed by Donald Trump, obviously) to build the wall. Why are are they, now that the Democrats are in power, demanding a wall be built?

And yes, the only party to blame for the current shutdown is in fact, Republicans. They had two years to build a wall. They didn't.
I used to think like this too, but I've since changed my mind and understand why they do this -- and it can even be beneficial for users. There's a few big problems with the old model:

First, you have to define the difference between "major" and "minor" version. Users expect major versions to have some significant improvements or new features. What this means is as a developer, you have incentive not to release minor features regularly, but instead batch them together so you can do a "major" release.

Second, the sales team now dictates the release cycle. More major releases means more money, but do it too frequently and the user base revolts. In many companies sales dictates the releases, but now if development is late it's messing with the company's cash flow and ability to continue to exist.

Third, the software can never be "done", because that means no more major releases. As a result, unless there is a sustainable stream of new users, you get feature and scope creep.

Subscriptions mean predictable revenue, and make the developer's incentive align with users: keeping users happy. This means keeping the product stable, making incremental improvements, and evolving with features that make sense.

Of course the beauty of the market is you should be able to find products sold both ways, and you can choose.
