I'm responding to this point:

> Is there actual case law about someone being prosecuted for the trespass of putting chalk at the bottom of someone's tire? How about sneezing?

> What about leaving a fingerprint on someone's car ... which ordinary people do all the time?

The Court relies on the part of the Restatement that says a trespass has occurred when you intentionally touch someone else's chattel property. That doesn't answer your point, which is why I referred you to Section 218, which explains that a trespass, though it has occurred, is not actionable standing alone absent damages or dispossession. So even though touching someone's car is technically a trespass, it's not an actionable trespass so you wouldn't see lawsuits involving mere touching.

(As to your point about police leaving fingerprints--I've never heard of the practice. But my assessment would be that even though it's trespass, it's not actionable (no damages), and it's not a Fourth Amendment violation because it's not actually part of the search, but merely incidental to it.)

Thanks for the infomation, I don't think I have seen anything except Linex chalk while I have been at university in Denmark. So it is interesting that there is people who uses a specific type of chalk.
No. It depends on a library called nREPL, but you can start that in multiple ways (the other candidates being tools.deps and Boot)
Note that BPF doesn't attempt to provide much of a security barrier.

> This access control mechanism does not in itself protect against malicious or erroneous processes attempting to divert packets; it only works when processes play by the rules. In the research environment for which the packet filter was developed, this has not been a problem, especially since there are many other ways to eavesdrop on an Ethernet.

And even on modern systems, you need to be root to install a packet filter, which is typically also sufficient privilege to simply open /dev/mem and read kernel memory directly. (Or you did, then people started using bpf for everything, but that came many years after the 386 and 486.)

I don't think BPF is a good example of running untrusted code, at least not the early versions, since it wasn't untrusted.

> It's funny and beautiful how a moment of whimsy ends up being a fulcrum point in his life.

My life pivoted on a similar moment of whimsy. When I saw the post about the first startup school way back in the day, I just randomly decided "you know what, it's on the other side of the country but I'll just sign up and figure it out". Ended up flying to Boston on a super cheap flight, crashing on my friends couch who was in grad school at MIT, and meeting Steve and Alexis (of reddit), and that's how I ended up working for reddit 18 months later.

>You really want to make it so that a lower-middle-class family whose primary breadwinner dies has to lose 100% of their assets?

I'm talking about the estate tax we already have, where that family is already exempt:

>Because of these exemptions, it is estimated that only the largest 0.2% of estates in the U.S. will pay the tax.[7] For 2017, the exemption increased to $5.5 million. In 2018, the exemption doubled to $11.18 million per taxpayer due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The rest of your examples aren't especially meaningful, the existence of loopholes doesn't mean we can't start with something simple and adjust it later. Those methods already exist and are used to dodge existing taxes, that doesn't mean taxes are a flawed concept.
A Ridiculously Detailed Fundraising Guide
Evolutionarily speaking we should be chasing animals in hunter-gatherer clans. The fact that we are slowly transcending the bounds of biological evolution should be celebrated: we have culture, art, and science now. And what we consider family (the ones we want to be happy) is slowly growing (with the occasional small step back). That guy ensured his kids had marvelous opportunities and is now trying to provide marvelous opportunities for other people in his "extended family". Jeez, how misanthropic or selfish do you have to be for this to not make you happy?
But thats the crux. As an owner, you might be empiwered to directly address your buildings issues. As a tennant, both you, and even your neighbors seem somewhat helpless when the property becomes run down, excwpt to leave. That becomes a net negative to the community at large. 'Rent-seeking' is disparaged for a reason, when re-investment for the benefit of the renter, rentee, and community falter and fail.

It's not just data format changes; model accuracy can be impacted by changes in the distributions of values, even if their types remain the same.

That's why production ML systems should monitor for data drift, model accuracy, and a host of other factors that may not be obvious at first. That's part of what TensorFlow Extended does.

This is why I think the solution will be something like "SDV lanes" -- separate lanes for robots on the highway, like bus lanes. Current roads are designed for humans communicating with each other, and if we wait for general AI to implement self-driving cars, we'll be waiting a long time.
The whole "90% of businesses fail" thing is pretty meaningless without a timespan attached to it. Obviously almost all companies eventually go out of business for some reason or another.

So what if it is snobbery?

If someone can't configure and manage their own OS and yet they are employed in IT, they have no grounds on remaining employed and no their ability to hack-together a semi-working program does not entitle or justify them to remain employed in the IT industry. Better leave that to people who can both program and manage the OS.

I sure as hell don't need work colleagues "workin' fer a paychek" (sic); if a person isn't passionate about computers, they better gtfo of there and stay out and never come back. They should go do something else they too are passionate about.

>writing some clever software, putting it on a server somewhere, and watching the money roll in

That made me chuckle because I recall walking across the office in 1992, looking at a machine in the corner, and thinking "wow, with this Internet stuff the way it's going I really want to write some clever software, put it on a machine like that and watch my bank account balance grow...".

And it has been fun to watch out that all played out subsequently.
Corporations and their largest beneficiaries will use their media companies and donation/lobbying dollars to spread propaganda within one or more parties to create enough doubt that nothing will happen.

The website says "free forever".

This reminds me of other software package that was "free forever" but then became popular and lost its "free forever" title. (I forget the name)

I’m not a lawyer, so this is just idle speculation, but the relationships I see are:

* Like the GPS trackers, license plates are devices designed to aid in identifying and locating a vehicle from a distance by technological means.

* Like the chalk marks, the government is using these devices indiscriminately, without probable cause.

* For bonus points, license plates are compelled speech, like requiring you to introduce yourself with your real name to everyone you meet.

It’S certainly not a guaranteed win, but it’s not so far fetched that I’d be surprised to see a competent lawyer try it.
The fact that criminals exist (and that occasionally laws are not well enforced) does not mean we should just give up on making good laws. Rather it should inform how we design and enforce the laws.

Just don't go down the path of game programming - that can easily lead to "monetization thoughts".

Also - making a game today as a single person is difficult, with the exception of a few niche areas. Mainly because everything most people play are 3D FPS, which take a huge amount of resources and skills to implement, and I don't think there is any single person out there with all the skills to singlehandedly implement a 3D FPS.

Even smaller niche games will require certain skills that many software engineers lack - heck, just coming up with a decent storyline or such can be a challenge. Never mind the graphics, music, etc - even for a basic pixel-art style game.

Probably most difficult is creating a decent work of interactive fiction (IF); that requires little in the way of artistic talent, but to be decent you need to have the skills of an author (and then some).

So...pursue such a thing...even as a hobby...at one's own risk I guess.

Unless I'm wrong, this is NLL, not two phase borrows (which may contain two phase borrows). But considering two phase borrows are still a problem for the memory model, they might actually somewhat unstabilize them to a certain degree again (I haven't checked on what they decided regarding that).

I do agree it’s an ideal kind of business to invest in, but it seems to me there’s one major reason they’re hard to find: had I that type of business, I wouldn’t accept outside money. I’m frugal in my living, so any business that brought in a few thousand a month would be enough to live from.

You might consider the Sinclair Method.
https://cthreefoundation.org/the-sinclair-method

You take an opioid antagonist, like naltrexone, 1 hour prior to drinking. Since drinking produces endorphins, which are blocked by the antagonist, the brain stops associating drinking with pleasure, which results in a lower desire to drink.

The downside being that if you drink without the antagonist, your brain returns to its old patterns.

Anecdotally, my personal experience was after trying the method was that I no longer wanted to drink, and when I did, with or without the naltrexone, my problematic drinking behaviors mostly went away. I mostly abstain now.
I too am enamored with Hagoromo; however, I wasn't able to get any of the Japanese chalk. I have been using the South Korean produced Hagoromo and find it quite nice. How do you think the Japanese vs. South Korean produced chalks compare?

Good note about the microfiber! I'll have to try that. I've become increasingly frustrated with erasers. When it comes to washing the board, do you use a squeegee at all? I've found a sponge/squeegee combo to make cleaning quick.

A dimension of chalk usage that seems to be missing from your page - what do you think of chucks (holders)? Hagoromo chalk is quite wide (11mm) and it seems that most chalk holders are built for 9mm chalk. I use the Hagoromo branch chalk holders, they seem to have good grip. The other alternative I've found is to look for artist-oriented graphite or pastel holders.

If you're not a "one or two drinks" type of person and alcohol is a negatively impacting you, then you really have to permanently stop drinking like Justin Kan. The average drinker "keeps a lid" by moderating their intake because they know how to stop. It's that simple. If you don't know how to stop, then you have to stop completely.

This is linchpin of the ruling. If a parked car is not suspected of wrongdoing, it could conceivably be argued that photographing it to establish wrongdoing is exactly the same as chalking it. IANAL

On top of that, I have no idea what "320 TOPS" means in the context of the specific workload Tesla has. Will they _actually_ get 320 TOPS?

Out of the stuff called out there, everything other than async/await shipped, most in total, some in part. Custom allocators didn't fully ship, only the global custom allocators did so far. Hygene didn't ship for macros 2.0, but the non-hygenic ones did.
Good examples, but re: #1, do a lot of places really deploy models with a static distribution? It should be relatively trivial to calculate this directly from the data within most ML libraries/systems - using a static distribution seems like such an obvious novice mistake.
You're right readability is important, and Scala fails terribly in that department.

Reducing to 'normal' or some level has to be backed up by meaning i think. And that meaning of normal is what I am trying to discover.
Being physical, you would physically have to remove the previous vote first. This would require some combination of a chemical process, color matching, and/or glue piecing back on.

This all takes time, tight tolerances, and automation to a happen at an impactful scale, which minimal oversight would mostly prevent.

Compare this to an SQL statement to change a whole states worth of votes in a few hundred milliseconds.

You can always recount the paper.

Whatever solution, it require the limitation of involving something physical and difficult to manipulate.

I like that, and I think it's an important property of voting systems that people who want to implement online voting overlook. But isn't it undermined by absentee voting, or is there a similar mechanism for that?
Sure it does. It means taxes that are high enough that it becomes vastly rewarding for large numbers of people to dodge them are flawed.
Or you can just use a voting system where producing proof is non-trivial, like paper ballots.
