The logic is that the person who shot her was acting in justified self defense, so the woman charged is the one who caused the child's death by creating the situation in which the other person justifiably defended herself.

It's a little convoluted and probably won't stand up in court.

>If you want less murders, maybe it makes sense to stricten regulation on firearms?

Why haven't they thought of that in Chicago, Stockton, Newark, Detroit, Memphis, Baltimore!? Oh wait, no.

Stolen guns that actually make up the majority of crimes committed with, and straw purchases that "your plan" doesn't address. You know, reality of the situation, not what you heard on the news.

I suppose there is also the fact it doesn't address that the murder rate in London is the same as NYC, despite an extreme lack of availability of guns surrounding London. Which strongly implies that guns aren't the only way murders are committed.

I was ready to agree with you the problem was just "regulations" but then I thought about it.
"The police have said she was culpable because she started the fight that led to the shooting and failed to remove herself from harm’s way."

The headline is shocking, but I can certainly imagine situations like this in which a negligent parent is responsible for putting their child/fetus at risk. Is there a precedent for a manslaughter charge for something like this?
Oh yeah such a difference in policy. First of all your quote makes no mention of encryption second of all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullrun_(decryption_program) which debued during the Obama administration for those who don't feel like checking dates.

> Why is it so hard to create a cryptographic solution that would allow E2E that works 99.9% of the time, is resistant to malicious actors, but is breakable with a warrant? Have people really even tried?

Yup. Tried very hard. It's not possible. This isn't a restriction of our current tech. It's a fundamental part of the mathematics of cryptography. Asking for it is kind of like trying to legislate pi having a different value.

I hear you, but every time I ask "what are you doing that you need SSH?", the answer comes down to "well I have these crappy random applications and I don't have enough visibility into the system or the apps." For those cases, I think SSH is a crutch that keeps the system from maturing.

Another way to think about it is, if you're an SRE, you want to eliminate toil, and an interactive SSH terminal is toil.

We did this at an ex-employer.

It started with what they called "Summer Wednesdays" - during the Summer, the company would sponsor an outing to the beautiful beach nearby every Wednesday at lunch.

Then you could come back to office or work from home.

Soon, people started to go to the beach earlier and work from there unless there was a client meeting onsite. One team member (she was in sales) even did her client meeting at the beach.

Team morale drastically changed. Since they would be at the beach, they wanted to have some fun while at the beach - so they shifted the work they got done to the 4 other days.

No more boring meetings - only those meetings everyone really wanted to be on happened. Everyone else was busy working. Teamwork went up because they wanted to be at the beach on Wednesday and have fun instead of coming back to work later.

The performance metrics were so phenomenal next month that management had an informal meeting with the team that basically allowed people to work 4 days a week.

Those who agreed had to sign an addendum to their employment contract that they had taken up the offer for people to work from where-ever they wanted one day a week without needing to come to the office.

I did not like this opacity so when I queried I was told that investors won't sanction this in any shape or form and this would be the only way to pull it off.

The argument I made was originally formulated by Andrea Dworkin, testifying to Congress about pornography, and formulating it that way--what metric are you measuring freedom by--has done a lot to expand my thinking.

Another is the saying "tolerance isn't a virtue, it's a peace treaty", which I think really cuts through the apparent dilemma you highlight.

The big corporations of the world keep their governments in check. And the corporations within countries are kept in check by the market forces from their competing interests, government regulation, consumer perception and demand.

At the international level, the international corporations located in multiple countries don't want the different countries they're in going to war with each other, and so the massive leverage of international corporations in open markets provide an invisible hand of unseen forces that keep wars at bay.
That's an interesting hypothetical for a law school exam, but I don't think any of the Supreme Court would find it very compelling, as it doesn't materially abridge any of those things. People not feeling comfortable with saying things is materially different than actually restricting them from saying them.

EDIT: I wholeheartedly disagree with restricting E2E and believe in freedom of speech as strongly as one can believe in any explicitly enumerated right, I just don't agree the text of the First Amendment covers this, and it's hard for me to imagine any of SCOTUS coming up with an argument supporting it.
> If you don't mean there's a universal definition of what a shell should and should not do, then WHO do you mean proclaimed that "computation is not meant to be done via the shell or shell scripts"?

One doesn't follow the other, the "computation is not meant to be done via the shell or shell scripts" is a statement i made and that was under the context of the Unix Philosophy.

Also you are focusing on the wrong thing here.

> Just because Eric Raymond writes something in a book doesn't mean it's true.

I haven't read any of his books nor i see what he has to do with it.

> I have enough experience to judge the "Unix Philosophy" myself

Then why are you using floating point computation with a bash script as an example for where the Unix Philosophy is bad? Bash doesn't follow the Unix Philosophy, shell scripts aren't even meant to be used for floating point computation when you consider it, instead you should either use a tool dedicated to such computations or to the specific computation you want to perform.

There are issues with the Unix Philosophy, like the simplicity it boasts only exists at a micro/local scale but it disappears at a macro/global scale - combining a few simple tools ends up with the combined complexity of all those tools plus the complexity inherent in the communication of them. To use these simple tools effectively you need to know all of them, knowledge of a single tool - despite how simple it might be by itself - is not very useful if it can only do one thing because an application almost never needs to do one thing.

This isn't a matter of performance, since nobody ever claimed that following the Unix Philosophy would be fast - but many do claim that it is simple.
Yes, but panics are exceptional, and not something you need to worry about when doing a normal code review. Try would be commonplace.
Ok, why has the product failed then?
> You left out b) vendor has the keys stolen or leaked by a disgruntled employee and now the encryption is useless.

e) If the keys are stolen, issue new keys to all devices

The leaked keys are only good for physically compromised devices in the hands of people with access to the scanning electron microscopes, which I daresay is an extremely small attack surface.

There is only a small window after the leak in which a device can be stolen, powered down, and compromised.

On the other hand, you could mandate that such keys aren't allowed to be stored in databases (physical access only)
Yeah but when you then go and sell it to the customer as a "scooter with 40 mile range" this is extremely deceptive and disingenuous as you KNOW the customer isn't going to be running their scooter around a track, they probably are going to be using it to commute around town with stoplights and hills.

Yes, it depends on a lot of factors, but stoplights exist almost everywhere and should be considered standard; if that halves your range to 20 miles, you should probably advertise it as "10-20 miles range depending on terrain" instead of "40 miles".

A standardized environment for testing is fine but it should emulate some set of realistic conditions if you intend to use numbers from it for advertising, e.g. stop-and-go every 100 meters, uphill 2% for 1/3, 0% for 1/3, downhill -2% for 1/3, or something like that.
That's very true of niche businesses; one competitor price-warring can wipe our half your enterprise customers and they sometimes haven't got any way of growing except trying to pick up their customers. Not sure it's quite so true of general purpose SaaS sold to a market as big as "people that want to collaborate", especially not when the 800lb gorilla's pricing starts at $60/user/year and their apps aren't universally loved or difficult to replicate at smaller scales
Except that the vendor wrote the key to the device, so they can just write it to the device and to their internal database.

Yes these are standard temperatures in North Italy during summer. It’s rare it goes above 37ºC tho.
Do they though?

Everything as a file is an abstraction, an enormously useful abstraction. The point isn't that it has to behave like a file in every way. At the C level, the fact that open(), read(), write(), or e/poll() behave the similarly is extremely helpful.

I can have a whole suite of functions that do not care what type of file descriptor they hold, but just that those functions behave in a predictable way. Maybe only 10% of my code has to care about the differences between them, instead of 70%.

I really tried to use qwant, but their exact match operator (« ») is unusable from a spanish keyboard, and guess the same happens for other languages, while "keyword" seems more reasonable. I've tried to contact them many times through many channels, never had a reply.

Qwant is not bad as a google alternative, but if this simple things are not polished and it's basically impossible to give them feedback, I'm not even gonna try.
That’s the real concern for me. I live in central Illinois, one of the best places to grow crops in the world (#1 soy producer and one of the top corn).

This year the Farmers around me planted 4 weeks late. This was due to the non-stop rain, so they couldn’t till. That’s probably the scariest in terms of food production.

I'm sure you understand this would have been highly theoretical to the students and pregnant mothers tortured, murdered and disappeared by US-sponsored dictatorships. For their own good.

"Fighting against Communism" is not a good reason to torture and murder civilians, or to topple elected governments.
I agree that team productivity matters more, and much should be left in the hands of team leads... in addition, that enables diversity and internal "cooperative competition" where different leadership/cooperation styles can be tried and tested and evolved further (potentially different ones in different "niches"). However, to some degree, that's just pushing the KPIs down a level (from Cs to team leads). Which might be a good thing, as team leads/line managers are probably better able to assess individual employee productivity... although AFAIK that's already how it works in most companies, and, well, it doesn't really work that well.

> For instance, a player who doesn't score much but prevents his defensive assignment from being a play maker (play makers are more than just scorers). Or the player who sets up the plays that allow other people to score (for those familiar with basketball, think screens/picks). Or the guy who is on the bench but helps calm down players when their team is down.

Yeah, these are certainly good criteria. The benefit is that in such sport, it's probably easier to assess performance/impact, as it's all face time. To some degree, these criteria are applicable to tech work as well ("he's in the office 2 days/week only, but he always solves the problem when the server goes down overnight or over the weekend" or "she works remotely, I never saw her before, but she found 37 critical security bugs in the past year").

That is far different from him having assigned the judges that will hear this case. And if you're thinking that it will wind up at the Supreme Court (which is likely), well, Trump appointed 2 out of 9. So "Trump has assigned his judges" still seems like a mis-characterization of the situation.

Glad it has bicycle directions, since that's my main use personally.

I just tried a search, and it got a POI location (a Minneapolis park building) right even though I misspelled it, which is something other non-Google maps are weak on in my experience. But weirdly I couldn't get it find my home address (also Minneapolis), either with street number/name/direction, adding the zip code or in full.
Ah the typical pat in the back.

ChromeOS and Android could be running on top of Windows kernel and userspace would hardly notice.
> search is still bad

Search is hard. Google has the benefit of getting a lot of training data. Corporate intranet search, searching your documents, etc. has to actually figure out relevancy and can't infer it from having already served that query thousands of times in the last day.
A circular track means you'd have to accelerate the vehicle inward proportional to the square of the velocity.

If target exit velocity is 11 km/s, and the acceleration of the straight portion of the track is insignificant compared to the circular portion, in order for the combined linear and centripetal accelerations to stay under 3G, I'd make each component 20.8 m/s^2.

So if 20.8 m/s^2 = (11000 m/s)^2/r, then r has to be 5800 km. Closing the ring at that radius makes the circumference larger than the distance needed for a linear track.

Untrained humans could not ride it up to Earth-escape velocity. LEO only needs about 8 km/s. So that requires a radius of 20.8 m/s^2 = (8000 m/s)^2/r, 3000 km. Still too big.

What if we bump the G threshold to 5G? Then centripetal portion of the acceleration should top out at 34.7 m/s^2, and required radius drops to 1850 km.

Okay, cargo only then, just to LEO. 25G max acceleration, 8000 m/s exit velocity. Radius 370 km, circumference 2300 km. Still more track than needed by a linear launcher.

It's always cheapest to put all the acceleration towards moving the vehicle in the direction you want it to go, instead of wasting some energy pushing it in different directions that ultimately cancel out.

You could use a spiral track, but the final leg of the spiral is going to have an effective radius so large it might as well just be straight the whole way.
It is inefficient, but that doesn't matter much for interactive use. After a shell script reaches a dozen lines, it's time to port it to Python. If the job needs absolute performance you rewrite in a performant language instead.

I'm not sure why you are upset to be honest? What design would you prefer? This one seems to hit all use cases.

I'm just pointing out that there are real differences between a macbook and an $800 Windows laptop. Those differences may not matter to some people, which is fine. But it's simply not the case that the laptops you're linking to are comparable to macbooks.
