Cynically, one could claim the same about taxes.
It looks to be a lightly-edited press release. Very common for journalists in a hurry to make quota or get the first link up.
If it is an area code outside of 4-5 I block it. If it isn't in my phonebook but in that range, I check the voicemail then 99 percent of the time I block it. Sometimes I answer and mess with the caller to waste their energy and ruin their numbers.

What irritates me is the spoofing of numbers. That should be a felony and charged in criminal court. They steal real people's numbers briefly in my experience. Either arrest and throw the person calling in prison or blacklist that Carrier.

And fine the carrier you use for allowing it to even happen.

EDIT: on a side note you are not able to block Texas and Florida. I could block those two entire states without worries and I'd receive a lot less calls.
I noticed this too, a lot of Japanese society feels like it's stuck in the 90's. Even the little things like the graphics made for ads. Probably has something to do with having a conservative culture and the demographics/economic issues that began becoming a problem around then
Dokan and CBFS are more like WinFsp (another project of mine) in that they allow you to create file systems rather than "disks".

I like to think that WinFsp is very stable software. I am working to bring WinSpd to the same levels of stability.
Lets not think about this atrocity on terms or left or right. Such horrible acts were made in the name of both ideology wings.
I believe it s neither "authority" nor "trust" that has fallen, but rather nihilism that has taken a sharp rise. Who cares about your authority, or trusting you outside of my purposes? It's all meaningless in the end.

How many times have you seen this statement on this board alone: "Given the passage of enough time after your death, anything you did won't matter." or some form or fashion.
That was one of the more surreal things I've read in a while. Every time I read Gibson's works I'm struck by how different our present is from his imagined near-future, but simultaneously how similar.

We have crushing government oppression, staggering wealth inequality, corporations that ignore laws at will, media personalities running the country (literally, in some places), and the internet: once hailed as the great equalizer, now the opiate of the masses.

We're living in a cyberpunk dystopia.
There's a great episode of the "Hidden Brain" podcast about scarcity: https://www.npr.org/2017/03/20/520587241/the-scarcity-trap-w...

One claim made was that poverty and loneliness are two of the most difficult scarcity traps to be in. Even more so than hunger (especially in the developed world). Because poverty and loneliness push you into behaviors that only perpetuate more poverty and loneliness. You can see this with the rise of toxic misogynistic groups on the Internet, and I personally see this with my more awkward, lonely friends and acquaintances who put off new company with desperate, weird, or standoffish behavior.
I'd go with tax revenue. GDP includes all economic activity of a nation.
New Zealand and Melbourne, Australia: Only time I've regularly worked more than 40 hours was when I didn't know any better for a large consultancy. Since minor burn-out I've always maxed my hours to 40 per week unless I'm really enjoying the work (ie I'd rather work than do personal things). This can be dangerous if left unchecked, however I've got a pretty healthy relationship with work.

The only people who seem to work much longer hours are my American counterparts and the occasional person who I believe to have poor work-life balance. None of these people seem to be anywhere ahead or achieve anything more than their colleagues. They often hold the "first in, last out" of the office trope, and shame others for working regular hours as lazy.

I've got enough grey hairs as it is, thanks.
Does it support async/overlapped I/O? Command queues?
Interestingly, tax refunds are not always tax deductible, either. I paid federal taxes on the previous year's state tax refund this year. How does that make ANY sense?
If it's "occupied" there will be tax due on rents.

I've been amassing a collection of scripts to basically do the same thing over the last couple of months, just running them all once a month with cron.

None of the services I've been backing up (Goodreads, Trakt, DeviantArt, Tumblr) are currently covered by Timeliner, but the extra twist of assembling all your data into a single timeline sounds kinda cool, so maybe it's worth contributing a few data sources.
Agree. The Projected File System is very limited compared to WinFsp, Dokany or CBFS. I have looked at it quite extensively as my own WinFsp open source software is in the same space.
That's fair but I don't think, at least with empty buildings, the revenues would be anywhere close to being able to replace a significant portion of income taxes. The scales are vastly different. But I should apologize for an overly snarky initial comment.
Not that these days exposing hashed passwords is always that much better... but why are they even keeping plaintext passwords to accidentally expose?

I think it more or less already is, just as people have been condemning slavery for thousands of years. The problem is now as it always has been, that profitable things linked to power structures are hard to stop without widespread violence.
People should also be able to enjoy the ownership and use of their own properties, without negative externalities from neighbours.

I think this is because "mentorship" is very hard to plan at the company level. My best mentors have been specific senior devs who were willing to share what they knew.
The hazards of military action including the inevitable civilian casualties (intended or not) are an important topic for consideration. And there's a good case that US Citizens have grown way too complacent about them (and even if we haven't, you check anyway, otherwise that's how you get too complacent).

But this isn't really a contest. Everyone's attention is finite, but my guess is the overlap is pretty big between people who are stung by the horror and senselessness of the Christchurch attack and people who are concerned about the moral problems and fallout of military action.
I still don't know why they still exist.
Oops, I forgot to erase that when shortening the title, sorry! Not sure I can update it now :(...
What about the religious killings?

Have you thought that most of the "Whiteys" might've reached the conclusion that when they're killed by Muslims in terrorist attacks they could be attacked and try to defend themselves?

Does this work on local postgres servers??
Yes. Async I/O in Windows happens at the file system level, so the answer is yes, by default.

Command queues are supported by default as well, as this is a Storport virtual miniport driver (which supports command queues).
Any reasonable government needs to have a small outlet for things that seem crazy. In other words, you need X Files.

Not because you believe everything, most things, or even any thing in them, but because having an open mind is important. If you think you know everything, you will miss a lot. Being open minded means spending some time at the tail edges investigating things that look like utter garbage woo, even if the result is that they are invariably utter garbage woo.

Also, it is not complete nonsense.

Altering conscious states is absolutely real and there are many avenues to it. Altered consciousness is also solidly in the interests of an intelligence agency and research is only natural.

There is definitely a flavor of pseudoscientific nonsense that comes along with altered consciousness experiences, but you can look past that.

Reports like this look to me very similar into pre-flight experiments. There were a whole lot of people making patently ridiculous flying contraptions but with hindsight many of them had some important ideas right.

See also: alchemy as a precursor to chemistry

Studying and treating the brain by developing methods to alter conscious states is, I think, going to be a major achievement of the 21st century, and things like this are precursors.
"Every person is valuable"

That's a truism, no one would deny that.

But stories make a larger impact and are most valuable when you hear these tragic events. Otherwise all you're left with is number of death counts, which brings far less consideration for distant people, sadly.
This is very true. I’m the last few jobs I worked here the ratio of full time to contract was shifting significantly to contract (though working in IT my perspective may be skewed).

Is also worth nothing that work laws in Japan are flimsy at best do “black” companies get away with a lot of shady stuff. Even if you have 20 days leave on paper, depending on the company the corporate culture can be very pushy about your not taking them.

I lucked out a few times and found places that were good about it.. but I’ve heard some real horror stories :/

Very curious. Since processing is a low-margin business, it's really rare to see referral bonuses, especially the type you're describing. If we do have room to open up a program like this, I could mention it internally.

The highlight here isn't just that Big Tobacco was very good at marketing unhealthy products, but that their core competency is (was?) marketing addictive products to adolescents.
Which is actually the enabler here: just register a friend or relative as living in your apartment, and you're done. And of course, you're doing that as a favor, so you're not charging them any rent that might be a subject to taxation.
I’ve concluded something similar lately. Humans always needed stable shared rules that envolve slowly to have funcional societies with multiple generations. This was attained with a shared culture plus religion. The science was not considered the main driver for these social rules. Since the fall of the religions in the west we have been using science to partially rationalize our view of the world, as result science became a battleground for ideologies and consequently became corrupted, it lost its neutrality. Each side of the spectrum wants to use science to support their personal beliefs. I start to have this crazy idea that to save science we have to stop using it in political discussions, so far I think political discussions should rely only in democracy, continuity and shared values. Funny thing is that we tried before to replace replace religion during the French Revolution: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_Reason
Lacking common moral values from one authority we look for it in another, now we have science being used as religious authority instead of being the refuge of questioning and doubt.

In my experience most companies that hide their prices behind "request a quote" start out way higher and pretty much expect you to negotiate down.

Synthetic Meditations: Cogito in the Matrix
There is a separate thread about security best practice learning that touches on the question of if the rote security knowledge we pass on is making it more likely that someone logs a password. I think a discussion around logging habits is much more relevant and while elasticsearch may have _also_ been misconfigured, pumping passwords into an internally viewable log file is a bad idea even if that file is well secured.
This is so wrong it's not even within the ballpark of the discussion.
Yep, plenty of companies take a bunch of inputs (your budget, expected usage, potential revenue, how hard you negotiate..) and come up with a number based on that.
Let's hope that mass surveillance of people for the purpose of selling ads will at some point also be viewed as something we just don't do. It will probably get much worse first though before it will get better.
Does my phone know if the caller ID is STIR/SHAKEN certified? I can already send numbers that are not in my caller ID to my voicemail directly. I would love to be able to do this for the unverified callerId numbers. Maybe if enough people did it, the phone companies would have to add it to prevent their calls from hitting the trash bin.
This is a great comment. I'd go further and say that it can actually be harmful to a business (or government organxation) to put too much "raw" data in the hands of people who lack the context or training to effectively evaluate it. the analyst who generated/cleaned the dataset is going to have a much stronger basis for knowing when to trust the data and when to discount it.

Once the boss has thrown it through a pivot table and generated their own conclusions you're now not only fighting to get the correct conclusions forward, you have to fight management's ego when you tell them they've missed some important aspect in their analysis.
Depends on how you frame the military violence. On the ground level there may be no intention of causing harm to individual civilians. On the much larger executive level it's about shock and awe, to beat the population into capitulation. That's exactly the aim of this sort of violence. Shock and awe. To this individual, this was shock and awe in service of his political objectives.

It's violence with political aims. Violence with political aims is ultimately a policing matter. You use better policing to snuff it out. Military interfering in the affairs of other nations for political objectives is inexcusable and should be deplored just as this is.
As Joe Camel was mentioned and depicted, something from "Stanford Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising":

http://tobacco.stanford.edu/tobacco_main/images.php?token2=f...

"Tobacco companies know as much as anybody that sex sells, and they have no qualms with making use of phallic symbols or with objectifying women to sell their products."

"Perhaps the most recognizable recent campaign to use such techniques is the Joe Camel campaign, which lasted up until 1999; Joe Camel s face is drawn to resemble a scrotum."
Relatedly, it'd be interesting to see a tax with a built-in ratcheting up effect each year. Imagine if you had a tax that doubled each year a property remained vacant -- that'd be similar to how they're using these fines.
Yes.

I have been buying dumb phones from china for a few months (mostly using ebay and banggood.com) and since most cost between $15-$35, I've bought six and plan to buy a few more. I might throw up a Medium blog reviewing them because they are hilarious and sometimes really innovative.

My favorites have been:

- Fidget Spinner Phone [0] | It's a fidget spinner and basically a classic Nokia clone with video, mp3, and bluetooth. It is comfy to carry in the pocket, has dual SIMs and SD card storage. Also an FM radio (that doesn't use hadphones as an antenna). The best part is that is has "HORSE RACE LIGHTS" that run to the beat so you can fidget spin to the radio.

- Super Tiny Phone [2] | Can be a bluetooth earpiece, is super tiny, and has a voice changer option that is just hilarious. Call with autotune! Also it's clearly made for crime, but I like to call my mom as a robot.

- Pen Phone [3] | It's a pen!

So, right now, most university Elsevier customers use "IP address authentication" to get through the paywall. And have a byzantine "proxy" system for affiliates not on campus to still get access -- appearing to a vendor like Elsevier like they are coming from a recognized university IP.

There are a whole bunch of problems with this system, that you can imagine.

But ONE is that it makes it a lot easier for things like sci-hub to automatically batch ingest articles with credentials from someone affiliated with a university (Elsevier customer), but without Elsevier actually knowing _what_ account was used. Elsevier's access logs end up giving them nothing but at best a university-affiliated IP address, with easy no way to know (because of proxy use) even what downloads were associated with distinct "users".

For THAT reason, academic content vendors have been trying to move to a system where there are individual identity accounts, so they can track who is downloading what (and try to block or worse accounts being used to sci-hub). You know, for "security".

I think this incident shows that trusting Elsevier with any kind of identity accounts is not in fact "security".
That's a great point! Templates are a great tool to generate big tables from results, I usually do that for most of the results in my papers, makes it easier to have the odd copy/paste error. I might add this to the tips and tricks, thanks!
FTA

"The problems the fines are intended to combat began in 2007, when the financial crisis brought an epidemic of foreclosures on homes across Spain. After a nationwide wave of repossessions, banks found themselves the owners of newly vast portfolios of housing whose tenants had been evicted. Put off by the cost of renovations and wary of their potential obligations to rental tenants as landlords, many banks simply left their buildings empty, waiting for the market to bounce back so they could sell them at a higher price, or seeking permission for non-residential uses such as hotels."
IANAL, but this is exactly how B2B sales works... you offer an absurdly high MSRP then offer discounts with various incentives based on completely arbitrary things, with the average purchase landing nowhere near MSRP.

I'd be careful about pricing this way to consumers since states are now started to see pricing differences as discrimination. See: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/02/tinder-prices-discrim...
For me it is less about the format and more about the ecosystem.

With no way to make a backup I'm reliant on them being always on and still around 10+ years later if and when I want to read it again.

But, the format also leaves much to be desired. The superbooks' "features" seem more like limitations. I cannot adjust text font or size, which is a feature! Something I've been able to do with every other ereader. I've also run into instances where the preview has text cut off even at 100% zoom. https://i.imgur.com/z8OldNU.png

They've spent centuries arguing for a definition of free will that no one actually holds

This statement is incorrect, and actually prove the very thing you intended to deny. It's not like adherents of C. held a plebiscite, isn't it? (And if they would, I dare to say they would be in danger of huge disappointment.) They made a choice to call an action free when it's inescapable consequence of a butterfly flapping wings millenia ago on another continent, but not free if it's e.g. equally inescapable consequence of a another human doing something recently, and closely (even if this forcing person is equally inescapably forced by a butterfly wings before). It is not, however, some sort of obvious conclusion, accepted by everybody. It's something C. philosophers prefer to call a common sense, because... well because this way we can make sense of things we do. So it feels much better.

As a side-note, your explanation of 'correction' makes perfect sense if you took the C. pill already, but doesn't make any useful proof of C. One have to accept that the only available variant of future (if we are in a purely determinist universe) still presents a free choice between correct/incorrect. Which is a circular reference to basic presumption of C.

Anyway, thank you for taking time to write the long response!

I know it is... hence the apology.

But in practice, I don't think it would be inaccurate to say the terms "science" and "natural world" are being used interchangeably in common vernacular. That bugs me. "Science" is not what you see when you look through a telescope or microscope.
You all do realize that if weren't behind several proxies I could be charged with several felonies in countries like UK and USA. This simple fact makes the most important people of the society keep their ideas for their own, right? And when they start acting, everybody's asking themselves "where did this come from?"
