"Crimes Involving the Use of Counterfeit Currency
The use of counterfeit currency can violate both federal and state law.

Under federal law, the use or attempted use of counterfeit currency is illegal if the person has the intent to defraud the recipient. A conviction for the offense carries up to 20 years in prison and a fine. A conviction for producing counterfeit currency similarly carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a fine, as does a conviction for merely possessing counterfeit currency. All of these crimes require that the prosecutor prove that the defendant acted with the intent to defraud."

"intent to defraud." being key here...

Yeah, I recently traveled to (western) Europe for the first time and noticed that I could buy food and other stuff at the airport for completely normal prices. In the US, all the airport prices are inflated.

In addition, it wasn't extra-expensive to take public transit from the airport to the city, again completely unlike America.

That is generally bad advice then. selinux is used by Android and Fedora (and hence RHEL & CentOS). selinux can break things, but it is quite stable these days at least for the distro supported packages. The downside is that anything outside the distro packages will likely have no support or will run unconfined. OpenBSD unveil is still new and will face similar challenges in that it will cover the base system well, but for ports, it will be up to the port maintainer to implement it.

More like public/semi-private. Usually private money but the primary contractors have a very close relationship with the public side. Government contracts have been incestuous for a long time.
I haven't used Nim for anything else since then. If I had to give a simplified critique, the language in itself is still springing to life and the user base and documentation are small.

I currently don't have the time to sink into something that could end up being a gimmick only, while there is some hardcore optimization needed in one of our services that could be approached through a better parallelization using Rust.

While from my point of view Nim is only interesting, Rust on the other hand seems promising. (I don't mean to compare different purpose languages, the problem stands on my spare time to study and the company needs, if that makes sense.)

That's possible, however the idea is that the net outcome would be positive. Say city A open sources some useful software that city B, C and D freely copy and do not contribute anything back. No harm is done to city A open sourcing the software they would have needed anyways. Then city E starts using the software and needs some additional functionality so they use the budget they would have otherwise used to re-implement their own proprietary version of the software to contribute back their enhancement to city A's project.

Sure some cities will not contribute back but in open source it is the organizations most in need and most able to contribute back who do. Why is that a problem?
SLS is a great example because, incredibly, the contractors get paid no matter what. They don't have to achieve goals, meet timelines, or come in on budget. They simply do things and get paid for them.

Contrast with SpaceX, which has to have successful launches in order to survive. They are incentivized to succeed, and so they do. The SLS program has little incentive to succeed, so instead it turns into a game of extracting as much money as possible (which is inimical to succeeding quickly!!!).

Please travel around the world (alone or with family/friends); unfortunately we live in this bubble of tech, politics, 24/7 news cycle that it makes us irritable/depressed.

I wouldn't say I'm depressed, I work at a startup so there's a lot of pressure (unnecessarily so). All it took is a 3 week vacation, some self reflection, talking to the locals (and realizing how insignificant our so called "problems" are in the larger scheme of things), realizing that we are so blessed. This for me was enough to get me to a less unhappy state and being more introspective instead of getting irritable and reacting to shouting matches. This sounds a cliched thing to say but it really works.
Yeah I feel like this is going to lead to another situation like with Python classes, where it's fine (and good!) to use them in libraries but generally not so good to use them in user code. The next time I update my own style guide it will probably say something like it's ok to use the walrus operator in service methods, but not in views, since views should be readable even to front end devs and PMs who don't know any Python or Django.

American police forces were paramilitary forces in several cases originally created largely as ethnic gangs to violently suppress other ethnic gangs, and have always been on a warrior model (and in many ways less restrained in use of force than the actual military); the problem does not stem from Gulf War propaganda. (OTOH, it has been exacerbated in the last couple decades by War on Terror propaganda, and by policies around military to law enforcement transfers of surplus equipment, complete with “use it or lose it” rules.)
The browser doesn't know the image is a GIF (content-type header) until after it starts getting bytes back. At that point the only way (pre HTTP/2) to stop the bytes is to close the connection, but this is terrible for performance because you lose keepalive and need to open a new connection.

If this was common, sites could also serve GIFs with an the content-type of a different image. Since browsers content-sniff between image formats, if the GIF was served as image/png then it wouldn't be until the image finished downloading that the browser would learn it was a GIF.

A public market gives you access to millions of potential buyers, so you get the best price, with minimal fees. That’s liquidity. A private company could try to provide something like that without using the public market, but it won’t be nearly as good.
What I've been looking for is just a way to limit bandwidth down to something very small for certain tabs/pages. So, for instance: Washington post/buzzfeed/huffingtonpost/vox/vice etc. all get limited down to like 25kbps. They can try and play video, or steam jpgs, or whatever else they want, but I'll never see it because I don't have the bandwidth.

If that caught on, hopefully it would also be the end of gigantic, unnecessary UI libraries.
very elegant puzzle with super simple rules (which I consider a big plus over hard to explain puzzle games... which my games might suffer from a bit). Extending a line in both ways is a bit more cumbersome, maybe you should allow start drawing a line everywhere and just materialize it if it crosses a number.

No, it's a lot more than just trusting that their code is bug-free. It's trusting that they're actually only doing what they claim to be doing with your data.

The only solution is to have the code open sourced with reproducible builds and a checksum to verify it against. Pretty much every GApp has a free, libre, open-source alternative that respects your privacy in this way.

This is what I dislike about the politically driven climate "science" or any science corrupted by politics. So much of it is intentionally misleading and many times outright false. They manipulate data, cherrypick time frames or simply outright lie.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that special interest groups fund these misleading studies and are widely propagated by media with a particular interest.
How do you achieve growth? That's the key issue.

That's why the country needs reforms. Because the chronic lack of growth leads to protests like the Yellow Vests's.

It is not handicaped by the Euro. The issue is systemic: Red tape, anti-business, anti-innovation, bloated public sector.
> Except we're supposed to be intelligent.

I don't think we are.

We sure as hell can be. Seeing bright minds at work is a special kind of inspiration, and its own mental turn-on for me. People aspiring to do well by their desires and talents – that's quite a picture. But it only happens when effort is put forth to surround ourselves – and others around us – with the kind of attitude we seek to promote.

Imagine punishing a child for not seeing things the way you do, from the height of the years of experience and the education you'd received. Imagine promoting literacy when you're yet to read a book meaningfully. Imagine moving others to start exercising more, while you're raiding the kitchen every couple of hours for another snack or two.

I don't think we're supposed to be intelligent. I think it's in our best interests to be, but I also see the effort to put forth if you seek to improve someone's livelihood. Not against their will, obviously: this much you can't do even if you try really hard – but encouraging them through the natural flow of things, setting an example, or even writing better guides.

Perhaps we don't choose, either. For all I know, we might as well be only semi-autonomous, or have no free will to speak of. Maybe we just are.
Your argument against is that we might get bored reading the open source code?
They will definitely want to consider extraordinary projects, materials, and infrastructure as munitions.

But they also have existing, good relationships with academics in other engineering fields where those regulated materials can still be accessed.

Maybe Wide-Open Source isn't the right answer for all projects because of the understood risks, but because they already have a good set of SOP for a similar program, perhaps it's time to ask them if they could expand that program's scope and loosen their grip on those things a little.

Also, electronic voting. Not that electronic voting booths will ever be a good idea, but forcing them to open source their stuff will hopefully deter people from even trying (and if not it will make it even more blatantly visible that these things are terrible).

It's just like the biggest argument for open source in science: it is required for proper accountability.
Don’t tell me what to do.
That may or may not be true, but I cannot tell because they don't tell me: they just do, and often get it wrong by my observation. It often turns out they over-focus on a few narrow pet factors.

Good decisions require being curious: what are others' opinions on this, and if they are wrong, why are their opinions wrong? It takes debate to get to the bottom of thinking.
When I go to youtube... I want it to autoplay.
I visit YouTube on rare occasions because I can't find anything else telling me how to do something. The first thing I do is to read the video description and comments looking for a summary, and not actually watch the video. I detest having to watch long video how-tos, as, among other things, it prevents simple side-by-side comparisons and looking at multiple steps simultaneously. Take the work you put into making a good video and use it to make an actual diagram for your diy instructions instead.

I've seen a few interesting discussions of this idea with regard to mental illness in general.

If someone says they think the government can track their location at all times, is scanning their phonecalls, and shares that data with an international conspiracy... are they schizophrenic, or just talking about the NSA sharing data with Five Eyes?

If you ask somebody to sign a narrow, research-only privacy waiver for a drug trial and they say you're going to share that info with a tech company that already has a secret profile of their entire life... the NHS did pass private medical records to DeepMind.

If they say online ads are talking to them personally as part of a coordinated campaign to brainwash them, it turns out you can have that done to somebody for $30.

It doesn't particularly seem like this is a general problem in terms of diagnosing or treating people; paranoia disorders follow pretty clear patterns of thinking, and they're usually self-validating whether or not there are actual conspiracies afoot. But the specific case of asking people to sign consents and agree to monitoring seems like a major hurdle, and I've seen some doctors point out that they can't even choose low-intimidation wordings because consent forms are usually written by legal to cover all possible cases.
I don't follow education policy so I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but I'd be curious to hear what you think the government's motivation is for "trying desperately" to do this.

I mean, accidentally wrecking education while trying to do something else is perfectly plausible, but deliberately wrecking education is kind of a strong claim.

The scaling of serverless functions is a pretty major point of difference between them and SFTPing a PHP script to a shared web host. Another difference is isolation of your code from anyone else's code; this can vary widely between shared host vendors but with serverless functions you don't "neighbors" to worry about, in terms of server load or security (their code being exploited or your code being exploited).

Serverless functions seems like a nice addition to sites that are 98% static but need a little server-side code specific to the task.

That will match images whose name ends in "gif", but won't match "/foo.GIF" or simply a "/foo" that is a GIF. You can't tell what content type the server thinks the image is until you get the content-type header, and you can't tell what it actually is until it's been downloaded.

I disable autoplay and it usually works. I close the windows where it doesn't work and that works for the remaining cases.

I think the sites trying to do end-runs are generally low-quality and it will be relatively easy to ignore them. Sites like the Atlantic, The New Yorker, and etc don't do end-runs and so disabling makes my experience sooo much better.
