Ok, so a suspect tells the judge under oath that they encrypted the evidence, and the key is gone, as if it had been burned.

Just as in burning with a fire, that suspect can be charged with willful destruction of evidence or obstruction of justice, contingent on mens rea.

The judge may be unlikely to believe that the data is irretrievably encrypted, just as they may be unlikely to believe all records were burned.
It sounds like a break from work life would be immensely helpful. Here's another alternative that I'd recommend.

You didn't mention taking any breaks / vacation during this period. Take a week or two off and see how you feel. If you feel you should go longer, do it. I'd strongly advise against going right into a 6 month break.
Well said, AI in practice is just stats rebranded.

Neural networks are shiny and new, but they are just an implementation for solutions from stats that have been around for decades.

Regression? MSE loss. Now with a neural network trained on MSE loss.

Classification? Logistic regression with cross entropy loss.

Anomaly detection? Feature extraction? Plenty of people still use PCA, which is nothing new. Autoencoders may get you more mileage, but conceptually work very similarly to PCA for these use cases.

Image data? Use methods from signal processing, also decades old. Convolutions are nothing new, you're just now implementing them with neural networks, and adding a loss function based on what you're trying to predict.

Time series data? You could be better off just sticking to ARIMA. Depends on your use case, but using RNNs may not even work here.

Reinforcement learning is more exciting, and is solving new problems that weren't even being approached before. Same goes for GANs, and unsupervised learning in general stays exciting and fresh.

But most of the applications of AI are ho hum. Just use decades old methods, now implemented with neural networks. At least, sometimes. What has really changed is the amount of data available now, and the ability to process it. Not necessarily the approaches to analyzing it.
I've been avoiding the discussion around Dynamic/Static s/types/languages/g , documentation/interface definition, and typed exceptions. If I go off on that rant, I'll be here all day.

If you are catching error in random places, you are doing it wrong. As you pointed out, context is critical. My point is generally, the location of code that generated the error may not have sufficient context. If you have enough context locally (or through further inspection) on how to proceed, then you handle it at that level. If you don't have enough context, then you send it up the call chain.

In your code example above, if after that catch, the program exits, then I argue it is correct. Some exception that was unrecoverable happened somewhere in the application, thus it needs to halt. If the error is recoverable and the application should continue, the exception should be handled somewhere else in the application.
Mattermost API being a superset of Slack's seems to be mostly true, but looking at the features our Slack app uses I don't see block kit (https://api.slack.com/block-kit) or message scheduling. If we were to integrate with Mattermost it doesn't look like it'd be a ton of work though

Have to say Mattermost's API docs are so much easier to read than Slack's.
It's sort of a fundamental trade-off, the better you get at team specific actions, the more time you're spending not improving at general actions.
Constitutional considerations aside (since all implementations seem to run up against one or two amendments), the most likely route is probably to force compliance by tech workers/companies when presented with a warrant (see: the law rushed through late last year in Australia).

One basic implementation is that after some closed-door conversations, your specific instance of WhatsApp receives an update which either compromises your keys or performs some background E2E of your plaintext conversations (as stored on your device) with whichever government/law enforcement agency made the request.

Rather than adding the government as a third party to all communications at once, this is a nice easy first step for them to take.
So now you're saying the deal has to be good because it was back when Obama was president and we didn't make deals with Russia?

Never mind that this is circular logic at work, where do you think Russia suddenly got the money to start bombing Syria within a month and a half of the Iran Deal?
Not the OP, but the method that worked for me when I was training for the military years ago was to (situation permitting) drop down and do five push ups every half hour for most of the day. Do that for a week, then the next week add five more. In a few weeks you’re doing 20-30 push ups every half hour and the maximum you become capable of doing if you have to take a fitness test goes through the roof.
The greenhouse effect requires sunlight to work. In the winters, the poles do not get any sunlight. The cold air from the poles will travel to make other places colder.
- predatory pricing, where a product is sold below its true cost, to undercut competitors. Similar to 'dumping' in international trade. Example would be Walmart's undercutting of Target and other pharmacies for Birth Control pills in Wisconsin [0].

You could argue Uber does this as well, as it built market share on the backs of billions in investor capital, as opposed to setting its prices based on demand and supply. In the Econ 101 world, it wouldn't be possible to scale to the size of Uber while losing billions every year, with profitability nowhere in sight.

in terms of other examples:

- minimum wages (pretty much every country has this)

- letting banks borrow from the Fed at an effective 0% rate, and letting them profit by arbitraging that capital by charging "market rates" to consumers

- minimum price guarantees for farmers (again, almost every country has this)

All of these distort the demand-supply relationship as described in economic theory, where all actors have equal bargaining power, equal access to information and where every concept must be prefaced with "all other things remaining equal". That's why it is ultimately "theory". It provides the basic conceptual grounding, but beyond that, everybody has to do their own estimations about what price to charge, because of the various distortions specific to their business environment.

Back to Uber, no, they don't need an infinite number of drivers in the US. They just need enough drivers to replace those that leave their network. They can do that by offering attractive sign-up bonuses, and then start cutting fares once the drivers are settled and it's harder for them to leave because of the potential loss of income.

I think a flying mission is actually superior to a rover as it can cover far more ground and reach some sites that wouldn't be feasible for a rover. And Titan is uniquely suited to using flight to explore as its gravity is a factor 7.25 lower and its atmosphere a factor of 4.4x denser. That means it's about 30 times easier to hover and covering the same distance is at least 7 times as efficient as on Earth, besides having lower terminal velocity.

Even this relatively "inefficient" quadcopter (8 rotor) design could cover dozens of miles (~60km, more than any Mars rover has ever done in its entire mission) in a single hop (which could be recharged by the MMRTG in a single week-long night), although prudence suggests shorter hops at first. That means in principle over its ~10 year lifespan (assuming it can last as long as Cassini did...) it could nearly circumnavigate the entire planet (diameter of ~5000km, day period of about 16 Earth days) while visiting dozens of sites. Granted, range will likely be much more modest as the mission operators will be focusing on not losing this valuable asset, but it shows just how powerful the ability to fly could be. It can visit more sites than all the surface robotic missions to Mars combined. In that sense, it's a fantastic scientific value. And I think the public will absolutely love it.

There'll always be someone who doesn't like you, but you can minimize that number by your own actions.

If everyone dislikes you, then they'll make it your problem. You can gripe about it, or you can try to change what you can.
Being aggressive and hateful to the entire world at once will tend to requires substantial bodyguard resources, and will eventually fail.

Peace based upon respect and respect for hard-won rules and structures is the right road.

Switzerland learned this lesson through bloodshed, after a disastrous campaign in which nationals supporting the Duke of Milan got caught in reprisals from his foes, thus beginning the great Swiss tradition of neutrality in foreign conflict.

While I won't argue about the relative morality involved in World War 2, I will argue that all ensuing wars the USA has been involved in have ultimately undermined it's prospects for future peace.

It seems like many of my fellow Americans need a history lesson vis-a-vis Iran.

The USA and UK conspired to overthrow the democratically elected Iranian prime minister Mossadegh, as he threatened to nationalize (their own) oil, which Standard Oil, among others, didn't like very much (Shades of United Fruit and Guatemala anywone?)

We then attempted to install the Shah (we knocked down their democracy because it was too lefty, then we put a king back on the throne.)

The 1979 revolution was a direct reaction to this, and could have been seen coming from a decade before.

This was initially a real revolution, but of course, they purged the lefties and students out and installed a right wing religious government, rather like many Republicans want for America.

And we have the nerve to hammer on them for desiring self-actualization... incredible.

Hypocrisy is not even the beginning of it...
We don't have "IT remote management tooling". I would be surprised if it happened for Macs, since it's one of those things that can lead to work being lost and it's incredibly stupid.

Also the situation I described happens for personal computers outside of remote corporate control.

When Windows updates, you get a dialog saying that the computer will restart soon and if you're not there to stop it from doing that, it will force close all apps.

One side effect is that you can't leave it alone to process something and heavens forbid leaving it on as a personal server for you to connect remotely to it because it will shut down.

And to make matters worse, Microsoft is pushing those updates frequently and depending on whether you got the shitty version or the expensive version, you can't disable this behavior.
That's debatable. I know a lot of conservative people. Even the ones who are not extreme (i.e. regular folks that believe in liberty) have a tendency to feel (perhaps rightly so) persecuted by the political correctness in the country/world.

Some people may turn to Gab with the feeling that it's the lesser of the evils, or the only place they can feel free from the vice grip of the power elite, but unfortunately that particular environment turns out to be not such a great role model. There are going to be breeding grounds for such views as long as there is an Internet, but those breeding grounds will grow in population in proportion to the additional prohibitions on speech imposed by the mainstream Internet platforms.
Good point: I seriously wonder if they considered a dirigible design. Buoyancy + directional propulsion does seem simpler in my space-novice opinion compared to a quadcopter. A blimp would be slower than a quadcopter, but nobody's going to be piloting the thing in real time, so that shouldn't matter.
If anything, it's a pretty pragmatic view about the high frequency with which new systems intended to replace legacy ones fail to do so.

Certainly applications can be supplanted or replaced, and often are, at the discretion of users and customers.

But 'living' (running) systems can often only be successfully replaced in the manner of the Ship of Theseus.
I'm in favor of right to work, only because I don't want to be required to join a union. Of course, I'm also in favor of much greater restrictions on Corporation "Freedom" and bringing IP legislation back to something reasonable.

> I disagree a lot of people seek a higher ranking job because of power.

Maybe, but those are not the sorts of people you want in high-ranking jobs, as a general rule. So it still makes sense to explicitly reward competence as an alternative.
No fission reaction, just radioactive decay in Dragonfly's case. It will use an RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator) not unlike Curiosity and most missions to the outer planets to date.
Kind of sad that this whole thread is blaming him for any kind of problem somebody has with Apple hardware, I find it hard to believe that Ives oder anybody else took those decisions (USB C, thinness) without a clear sense of strategic direction and a very good business reason.
StreetComplete has been collecting business hours for OSM, that is likely where this data is coming from.

This is an instance of where our single axis falls down.

You might run in right-wing libertarian circles, but I'd speculate that if your experience was based on the religious right you may perceive higher levels of support.

I do agree with you though, it's lost a lot of momentum over the years and now opinion seems to be that it's clung onto by law enforcement and the lobbyists of the companies who supply them because it allows for their continued militarisation and supports a significant portion of their budgets.
BMI is highly useful. That it doesn't work for Dwayne Johnson is merely an attempt to reject the whole of it because known edge cases don't work. We know where it doesn't work: extreme heights and serious athletes who are enough standard deviations of muscle mass outside the norm. For that, we can do body fat %. But body fat% is harder to measure, so we've got a quick yardstick: It is BMI.

BMI is rejected because it tells people they're obese and since its unhealthy, they need to change themselves. Noone likes hearing that. The truth hurts.

You'll see these common rejections:
1. Bodyfat loss is hard, so its claimed as not a good measure.
2. BMI has outliers so _mine_ being bad doesn't count.
3. Because not being obese does not provide data about health, they attempt to deny obesity as a poor health marker. This is almost always "you can't tell a skinny person is unhealthy" retort as an excuse to reject obesity as unhealthy.

They will not escape the evidence-based scientific truth that obesity is unhealthy.
Rome is rather far away from the gulf stream. Isn't it more that if there is wind from the north over Europe, Italy is mostly shielded by the Alps and other mountain ranges?
anecdote on pushups:

A group of friends and I just started a challenge to do 10K pushups in 1 year.

Six months ago, I tried doing a 100 pushups in 1 hour. Couldn't do it. Got spaghetti arms, couldn't move them the next day.

After doing this challenge for 3 weeks, I can do 60/minute and can easily top 150 in one hour, without breaking a sweat. The 10K goal seems too easy now, so setting we've set our sights on 50K for the year. It's been purely about consistency and a smidgen of testing our limits every once in a while. There's no schedule or set limit each day -- just as many as possible given your day.

Oh and for fun I added a Twilio/Flask app so we can text in our push-ups to a Google spreadsheet, which sends out a daily email (through Apps Script) with a few fun analytics (average, estimated end date etc.).
I'm sorry -- not sure who or what you're referring to here? Neither of those companies were funded by Y Combinator.
We surely have it on any enterprise I have worked for with Macs around.

And they even have anti-virus running due to compliance with security regulations.
> I’d really like to have a working Unix environment, and Linux stopped being that for me years ago.
That ship sailed very, very long ago. The moment the GNU/Linux community decided to implement their own desktops and not copy the standard Unix desktop - CDE, the die was cast. From then on we lost any possibility of having a unified standard desktop and instead we have two competing GUI toolkits neither of which can truly be called native.
I am still optimistic that perhaps Wayland will raise the bar for making and maintaining your own DE so high that due to practical considerations we will end up with just one de-facto desktop API.
No. There are the xBSD derivatives which continue to aspire to being "unix" like rather than "windows" like.

This is probably controversial but my guess here is this; The bulk of the developer cohort doing most of the work in Linux userland these days cut their teeth on Windows, it is their internal standard of a "good developer OS experience" so when they build new things, they have that model as "good" in their mind.

The challenge continues to be software. If you are using the packages in FreeBSD (or other xBSD derivatives) it is not uncommon to see "package xyz does not have an active maintainer so it may break, if you're interested in becoming the maintainer go here ..." Not enough people to cover all the things that are pumped into the Linux ecosystem everyday.

And it is a bit too much work to re-create the old Sun Microsystems of old where the kernel and the core UNIX user land tools from BSD were combined with a bespoke window system, compiler suite, and hardware specific system libraries to make a product. Granted it was fewer than 1200 software people all told, when SunOS 4.x came out but they were all working for market salaries on the project full time. That's like 10 - 20 million dollars a year, not something you're going to do "for free in your spare time."

I'm not really sure how it resolves over time.
Aside from the bizarre, uncomfortable poses in the photographs, the subjects all look somewhat dejected, as if their existence in this world is very clinical. Not sure if that’s what the photographer was going for but kudos to him for keeping such a consistent style across multiple loosely related people. I imagine it could be like herding cats.
This requires a custom kernel though. I wouldn’t reccomend that route for a Hackintosh system.
Firefox Focus, 0.3. You seem to have triggered something outright penalising.
From a scientific standpoint, there's really no value in downlinking video as opposed to still images. It costs several multiples worth of scarce downlink bandwidth, for a tiny gain in what there is to see of the same rocks at slightly different angles. Same reason we didn't have New Horizons at Pluto or the various Mars rovers do any video.
This paper company was founded 771 AD: https://www.shinise.ne.jp/j_kyoto/voices/vol/48/48-d.html

It's not even the longest-lived company in the world. This construction company was founded in 578 AD and continuously operated until 2006 when it was bought by a larger company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong%C5%8D_Gumi

100 years ago was only 1919 -- here are some random companies from 1919 that I found on Wikipedia (ignoring for a moment that this is plainly surviorship bias):

Companies surviving for 100 years isn't quite routine but it's certainly not so rare that its surprising when one does. I don't think it's at all inconceivable that Amazon could stay open for a hundred years. It's made it past the first 10 years, the turbulent start when most companies are culled. I'd wager that the biggest threat to Amazon surviving to 100 is being broken up a la Bell/Standard Oil.
I don't think it makes anything more plausible.

If there is zero proof of the claim, stuff that isn't proof ... still isn't proof.

I feel like using your reasoning, you could argue ANYTHING is more plausible.
Yes. New York does have additional restrictions on carrying. A case is going to the Supreme Court right now, and is expected to find those unconstitutional, so much so that the state of NY recently tried desperately and failed to not let that happen by voluntarily changing their law to get ahead of a ruling.

If you are arguing that NY and London shouldn’t have the same murder rate, well, I don’t see how that plays for three reasons.

1. Despite the laws, criminals break them. Guns aren’t allowed to be carried in NY, but people do it anyhow. Just as heroin and coke aren’t legal ANYWHERE but we have lots of crime with them.

2. The murders in London are mostly knife as the weapon. New York has knife laws too, but not as strong as London iirc. I know my everyday carry knives are all illegal in both places.

3. Very much on topic, Illinois, Delaware, New Jersey, and etc have some of the strongest antigun laws in the country and cities with highest crime and guns as murder weapons. Here is the thing... we know EXACTLY, down to the neighborhoods where our crime is, and our rural areas with all the guns are on-par with rural Europe murder rates 2-4 per 100,000.
Firms that are 5 guys beavering away and making $10 million a year just don't get press.

And, if you take VC money, you don't even get that option.
Wayland is broken by design (or, as another commenter says, "lacking on a conceptual level") and NOT A REPLACEMENT for X Windows.

Wayland has a bonkers security (theatre) model based around protecting from untrusted processes (graphical applications) connected to the compositor. (If you must give untrusted code a process on your machine, the correct solution is to give it its own Unix user and run an X Windows server owned by the same user.)

One consequence is that screenshots/screencasts do not exist on Wayland, applications can only see their own windows. Also, quoting Red Hat: "Furthermore, there isn’t a standard API for getting screen shots from Wayland. It’s dependent on what compositor (window manager/shell) the user is running, and if they implemented a proprietary API to do so."

EDIT: Other stuff that you can not do with Wayland and is justified by their "security" model is injection of input events and reading other applications input (think xdotool, autohotkey; this is great when you want more control of your graphical user interface system).
The biggest difference is probably that they seem to take a 'older' Fedora, and then stabilize it a bit before blessing it as the new RHEL, where Ubuntu just forks off the LTS from their regular release (and where a lot of people seem to wait for the .1 release of the LTS before actually using it)
This is irrelevant to what I just said.

I merely wrote that differences between men and women are not only biological but also based on social structures.

You start by saying that you agree with this and then you make our own statements.

I am incredulous about how linking a study from a scientific journal is evidence of science denial.
