Your point #2 is one of the main reasons React is far-less creatively flexible than DOM manipulation. I'm surprised that this doesn't come up far more often.
I want to know too, specifically.
Fluctuations in the void
I'm sure there are some complex exceptions, but as a starter, you can think of lvalues as "anything you can assign to" (the l basically stands for left, as in, "can appear on the left of an assignment"). So, if you have something like `foo(val) = 10`, then `foo(val)` is an lvalue.
Is it possible to use a drone with a balloon on top to help it lift more? Or does that make it too susceptible to wind?

Maybe if we have to dome our cities and thus have no wind to disrupt the drone.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to use a small electric self-driving car like a mobile version of the amazon locker?

>There is a big age ceiling. 15 years experience doesn't pay much better than 5 years experience and will often be met with questions about why not able to move into product ownership of management, but that's another topic.

Is product ownership or management seriously considered a better job in China? At almost all places I worked at in EU middle management/product ownership is considered a less desirable position.
Yes, the linked one is the first PDF I've found. I know the commercial NANDs found in newest SSD may not be available, because it's probably that the SSD is using a custom chip design. Perhaps the chip is listed somewhere in a website, but unavailable for purchase (for mere mortals like us or those doing an open source SSD). In any case, those chips won't be available for an open source SSD.

Soon I should put hands on a design with a 2Tb Micron NAND from 2014 (MT29F256G08something). The PDF is behind a simple user registration.
I think it's because of jobsism, would you agree? I think jobsism definitely falls into this category. That darn jobsism!

There are laws in place in most countries meaning yes.

Even ignoring legal issues, for practical purposes society has accepted cash as the way to do trade. Everybody has cash (credit cards and checks are a proxy for cash) Thus a supermarket that doesn't accept cash is going to have problems selling anything because most people won't really know.
> An ironic aspect of financing (from personal loans to multi-billion dollar deals) is that you can get it as long as you don't need it.

It has nothing to do with need, just ability to pay back. It's mostly about leverage. When you have no money, leverage won't get you very far because 2 x 0 is 0. But if you have some money, you can leverage it, 2 x 1 = 2.

If you have a billion dollars, and try to over leverage by taking a 100 billion dollar loan, they won't let you do it, unless you are powerful enough to create a world financial crisis.

"Mr Assange, 47, [appeared] at Westminster Magistrates' Court. He pleaded "not guilty" to the 2012 charge of failing to surrender to the court. [...] Finding him guilty, District Judge Michael Snow said Mr Assange's behaviour was "the behaviour of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest"."

How does the English justice system work? He was arrested, and almost immediately taken to court and convicted?

>What's with the downvotes? Can I hear a different opinion?

Sure, completely without any connection to any opinions on whether Assange should be tried or not, or any of the politics, the parent is engaging in some real silliness/ignorance, and that shouldn't be upvoted on HN even if it agrees with your politics. In particular:

It certainly didn't take the government 8 years to investigate this, this is obviously a politically motivated prosecution.

These don't follow. No, it didn't take the government 8 years to investigate this, but that's not relevant either. The government can perfectly well find all the evidence they need, but if they're simply physically unable to get at the suspect they can then sit on the case as long as any applicable statute of limitations hasn't run out (and not everything has a statute of limitations). They may choose not to prosecute for various reasons, including simple lack of resources or impossibility. But none of this at all bars them, either legally or morally in my opinion, from later attempting a prosecution if the opportunity ever allows. That does not make it "obviously a politically motivated prosecution", nor is it unheard of even in very serious cases like terrorism bombings, murder, and so forth. Some people are very good at evasion and hiding, but the true government superpower is patience. They file it away, but they don't forget. They'll just wait, but that doesn't mean a crime goes away unless there is a statute of limitations that explicitly makes it go away eventually by law.

If parent poster wants to make a case for universal expiration, that any crime should cease to be prosecutable if it goes cold or suspects can stay away for long enough, then they should just do so. There is genuinely a real argument to be made there. But a suspect being granted protection by another country and then the government just waiting, and then the wheels grinding into motion once again if the opportunity ever allows, is not by itself some weird thing. It doesn't justify the hysteria, nor the call for people to give him money.
I think it's entirely possible that he did work for Trump, did serve as a vehicle for Russian propaganda, and is being thanked for it by being arrested under orders by the Trump administration. Authoritarian types have never historically displayed any loyalty to lower level useful idiots who helped them get into power. Trump also gave Bannon the boot pretty much immediately. Maybe that wing of his 2016 team is now considered a liability.

If an algorithm is not scanning the contents of your emails, and potentially leaking/saving their entire contents outside your account, isn't that more private by definition?
"massive corruption" would be things like sharing campaign data with Russian agents and promising them access to the President. Some grumbly emails that they didn't like Bernie, who is not even a Democrat, is strictly embarrassing and incompetent, and nothing more.
"Need" and "helps improve the PR image of the action" are not synonymous.

I am not saying it was the case or that the argument has merits. I am saying that the argument I've heard concerning this incident is not being fairly represented by the claim that the USA needed to manufacture crimes allegations in Sweden.

Great post, this is a tricky subject. I find myself referring to these diagrams from time to time: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33246935/741970
We're talking about drones which can serve an area of 7800 sq miles (20000 km²), going at over 60mph (100km/h), across rivers and mountains inaccessible by vehicles.

I don't think there's any way you could even install enough poles and cables to cover such an extension, let alone keeping them functioning without permanent maintenance teams trekking across the peaks. Plus all that would fail exactly when you need it the most: after a big storm, when the roads are impassable and even walking is difficult.
I'm sure there are lots of fascinating details, unexpected side-effects, and counterintuitive observations to be found in a moral accounting of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. I've watched (and read) "Generation Kill," which examines similar situations in the Iraq War. I have friends and relatives who fought in Afghanistan. I've also read a number of books on the subject. I can appreciate the twisty-turny nature of morality in war, and how not all informants may have good intentions.

On the other hand, the Taliban seeks to keep girls out of school, treat women as chattle, throw homosexuals from rooftops, eliminate the Hazara people, behead apostates, and stone adulterers in football stadiums. Lots of people in Afghanistan hate them, and would inform on them to protect themselves and their loved ones, at a level of personal risk which neither you nor I can likely comprehend. So there's that.
I have no idea, but the charge was failure to surrender. It's pretty obvious, 7 years later, that he is guilty of that.

We have a standard for protecting DNS, but it's so bad - the tools are bad, the % of deployment is bad, the resolvers handle it bad, the ability for a regular sysadmin to deploy it is bad, it's just super bad compared to what we have with the HTTP PKI.

Are you at all, in any way willing to entertain a viewpoint that suggests that those gentlemen have their titles dropped possibly because they have become synonymous with their crafts and a lifetime of achievement that-at least in the case of Dr. Sagan has spanned generations (Dr. deGrasse-Tyson's work and personality on the cusp of enjoying the exact same), and their names closely associated with a deep personal connection to the dissemination of science as a form of consumable entertainment (that also happens to inform) and that this maybe serves as an important distinction between someone who is appreciating their first bit of notoriety for their scientific accomplishments?

I personally think they should all be addressed by the titles they've worked lifetimes to earn, that anyone who holds a formal title such as Doctor should be addressed as such in a non-casual/non-informal environment, but I'm also willing to entertain that this is a possibility for why the difference may exist between Dr.'s Sagan, deGrasse-Tyson, and Bouman. And yes, there are probably, most likely others that are far less nuanced and charitable.

Would you be willing to entertain that viewpoint?
GS Yuasa is the product of a merger. The merged company is fairly new (2004), but you're right - GS and Yuasa were formed in 1904 and 1909 respectively, and have been manufacturing automotive batteries since a century ago.

Not OP, but I too am confused. I understood the sketch artist analogy but that didn't seem related to this point:

>They also trained the model with non-blackhole images. Since the output of the model was approximately the same, this indicates that the resulting output picture doesnt look like what we think a black hole looks like just because it was trained with black hole images. It likely really looks like that.

If you are feeding non-blackhole images in and getting blackhole results out, wouldn't that be indicative of an over-trained model? Her other analogy was we can't rule out that there is an elephant at the center of the galaxy, but it sounds like if you feed a picture of an elephant in you'll get a picture of a blackhole out?

What's happening now is totally different from the lack of privacy experienced in a tribe or a close knit village. This is top down panopticon surveillance where an opaque eye spies on everyone on behalf of a complex of corporations, advertisers, criminals, and governments. The lack of privacy in a village was reciprocal. This is completely asymmetrical and exploitative.
I like to view this as an interconnected series of pipes through which money flows. It always flows somewhere else although some percentage spend most of its time in large tanks. Or in the case of Google et al. flows out of the tank, into adjoining ones, and then back in again. When a recession hits there is less liquid in the system, the flow slows down and cut off from some sections of pipe.
Julian Assange to Be Extradited, WikiLeaks Founder Facing Five Years in US Jail
A Google Brain Program Is Learning How to Program
If we look at the paper then these remarks are all discussed:

- Defending against downgrade attack: "A client should remember if a network supports WPA3-SAE. That is, after successfully connecting using SAE [..] the client must never connect to this network using a weaker handshake". The Google Pixel 3 is thankfully already doing this, but others aren't. So perfectly preventable, and something the Wi-Fi Alliance could have included in their WPA3 specification.

- Side-channel leaks: "A backwards-compatible countermeasure is to replace the two vulnerable branches with a constant-time select utility, and use constant time Legendre symbol computation as defined in [73]". The WPA3 standard already contained certain side-channel defenses, but it was still vulnerable. They could've also included these new defenses in the WPA3 standard.

- Denial-of-Service attack: "... our attack is more efficient than a straightforward DoS where an attacker simply jams the channel." We only needed to inject 10 commit frames every second to overload a professional AP..

- Modern crypto standards should be written so the chance of implementation bugs is low. For example, the new hash-to-curve algorithms being standardized include side-channel defenses in the specification itself. See their usage of the CMOV instruction that provides a "Common software implementations of constant-time selects" https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-03
4G drones have been around for a while, you can control them from anywhere.
I wouldn't worry too much. IBM is making a big bet on OSS friendliness as their differentiation, much like Google Cloud is.
I was using it as a technical term more than a political one. Capital is a rough synonym for assets, but "surveillance asset accumulation" is clunky. The capital being amassed here is information about people. That capital can be leveraged to control and manipulate for both economic and political reasons and can be used by both (politically) capitalist and less capitalist authoritarian regimes.
That isn't "facts"! There was tons of evidence at the time that the women were lying, the charges were dropped because there was zero chance of any conviction given their behaviour. How quickly people forget!

Reasons the women were lying: the first had tweeted and texted about how happy she was to have slept with Assange. She later tried to destroy this evidence after deciding she'd been "raped", a decision that was triggered by meeting another woman he'd also slept with and getting mad she wasn't the one.

The reason Assange went to the embassy after the charges were resurrected is that it was obvious the case was a dud as it has already been dropped due to the hopeless case of the witnesses. So why did Sweden suddenly decide to try again? Assange was right to judge it as being politically motivated.
So do you think Trump was a puppet of Russia too?

That's literally why the law exists, to protect people from the arbitrary will of those more powerful. I would think anyone who has read even a tiny bit about the subject would know that. Then again maybe I'm wrong, maybe I should go on some trendy protest and get hit with a truncheon so I can better understand the purpose of the law.
In the US they don't need to use the death penalty, they can just put him in certain prison situations where he will be killed. The US has a massively corrupt prison system.

It has the window borders of 3.1 (the weird "—" in the upper left, the white menu bar) but we've got "My Computer" and "Recycle Bin" on the desktop — desktop icons weren't introduced until Windows 95. There were icons in 3.1, but they were minimized programs, since there was so start bar at the time. (But, his video and one screenshot also have a start bar in them?)

>The government can perfectly well find all the evidence they need, but if they're simply physically unable to get at the suspect they can then sit on the case as long as any applicable statute of limitations hasn't run out

Why did they not indict him before 2018? I don't think that has anything to do with the US government being physically unable to get to him. It's not normal procedure to delay indictment, the normal procedure is to keep the indictment sealed.

Obama DOJ had decided to not indict Assange for this, this is a politically motivated prosecution by the Trump administration.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/julia...

>Justice officials said they looked hard at Assange but realized that they have what they described as a “New York Times problem.” If the Justice Department indicted Assange, it would also have to prosecute the New York Times and other news organizations and writers who published classified material, including The Washington Post and Britain’s Guardian newspaper.

Everyone who follows WL already knew about this hash thing in 2011, it was brought up in detail during the Manning trial. The DOJ was well aware of the possibility of indicting Assange over this, but opted to not do so until recently.

>If parent poster wants to make a case for universal expiration, that any crime should cease to be prosecutable if it goes cold or suspects can stay away for long enough

This has nothing at all to do with what I'm saying. I'm saying that DOJ flipflopping on this indicates that this was a politically motivated decision.

Highly recommended. Preferred way to learn is to grasp an intuitive understanding before diving deep into theory. This visual explainer is great first step.
Yep. But it seems it would be rather cheap to set up an infrastructure made principally of steel towers and (thin) cables, and there shouldn't be many technological challenges. It would be probably faster, more reliable and energy efficient than drones, allowing for heavier packages. Of course at the cost of having to build an infrastructure, and maybe of a smaller, fixed number of delivery points.

> claiming his condom fell off and he didn't stop having sex with them.

One woman claims he intentionally tore a condom. That was a lesser charge whose statute of limitations expired a while ago.

The other claims that, after insisting reportedly they use a condom, he waited for her to fall asleep and then started having unprotected see with her -- something he knew she would not consent to. That's the rape charge.

> Then a couple months later, based on no additional information, they reopened the investigation.

The alleged rape victim was initially overwhelmed (not uncommon for a rape victim) and didn't want to press charges. A few days (not months) later, she hired an attorney to represent her who got the case reopened.

Almost all the information the public knows about the case has come directly from Assange (and thus supports his conspiracy theory explanation), since the Swedish protecting authority doesn't comment on pending cases.
Doesn't mean parent isn't aware of the topic or hasn't heard about it from somewhere else.
