They ended up replacing it after a month of back-and-forth repetitive communications... but it was a pain and it ended up costing me because I had to reship it to a family member in another country because it didn't come on time. They apparently lost the defective tablet that I returned somewhere in their system.
Yeah I know Stalin and the Russians had a lot to do with it too. But the U.S. fought on two fronts. As if the imperial Japanese and their slaughter of Chinese people was any better than the Nazis.

And suppose the U.S. stayed out of that war, what would have Stalin done with Europe, supposing they won outright?
Does the vulnerability permit access to a directory index, in order to identify the filenames of exciting attachments to transmit?
I think you are confusing the possibility being present with the possibility being realized. In a free market, that possibility is present but unrealized. The possibility doesn't make the market non-free (and anything that would prevent such possibility would make the market strictly speaking non-free), but when entities choose to act on that possibility the market is no longer free.
What's the rate at which such penalties are imposed?
That only covers the "encryption" part of SSL/TLS.

If there is any incentive to fake your content (e.g. for phishing or other attacks, or even simply spreading false information), you'll also want the "authenticity" part of TLS for preventing middlemen from arbitrarily changing content.
Full quote by Ronald Reagan: "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Nothing stopping say the CEO of Exxon, solo entrepreneur or self employed window cleaner writing to their local (I'm assuming it's usual to contact your local representative, rather than any and all?) congressman as an elector. Seems reasonable to write to the departments dealing with tax and business too, who will also have input to representatives as part of the machinery of government.

Seems less reasonable to petition as a full time role, and get everyone's representative on board with unduly supporting a particular company or cause, or get undue weight because can throw $10m at the issue. That's not really representing the people any more, even if it is understandable how it happens.

Citizens banding together in a cause? Already happens, and no doubt representatives who receive 500 letters or emails that could be copies of each other are treated as less weighty than 500 individuals writing individual emails on the same cause.
When I was 9 I played Robot Odyssey, a notoriously difficult game even for electrical engineers, obsessively all summer.

I got to the last level on my own and learned a TON about logic gates. Maybe it's why I'm in robotics today.

The point I want to make is to never underestimate the capacity for children to learn and never assume something's too difficult. You don't have to get far for it to be a worthwhile endeavor.

Spacechem gave me a strong feeling of nostalgia for Robot Odyssey. It was very difficult. Didn't hold your hand. And was totally open ended on how you solve problems. Which results in feeling incredibly fulfilled when you do solve a puzzle. That feeling was what hooked me. I was so proud.
> How does Youtube's popularity prevent you from hosting your videos yourself?

It doesn't. It "prevents" most people from looking for videos anywhere except the youtube search bar.

> You're expecting them to use their own money and their own resources to broadcast messages they don't want to broadcast, for free.

Well, does that prevent them from starting another business, that doesn't seek to grow so big and pervasive that it should be considered common carrier?

A punch in the face compared to the bloody good and relentless kicking climate change will deliver economically, dragging back progress for decades or centuries. I know which I think is likely to be cheaper, and better for the economy.

At least a carbon tax can be used to mitigate the effects on the most vulnerable and poorest, and used to create solutions and alternatives to emissions. Extreme events, or food shortages wont give that luxury.

In case anybody missed the humor in this, like I did the first time round: all of the pictures denote some kind of "check". Like with the bows.

There are pictures of people checking things – a watch, and something else I can't quite see.

There are games of chess in a state of check.

There are monetary checks.

There are check boxes.
> This assumes that the health insurance plans are an effective check on cost, that there is any sort of shoppable market for medical services, and that the patient has the knowledge to shop with at the level of sophistication of medical professionals.

The check on cost in this case would be the patient, because outside of any other reason to choose one provider over the other, they would choose the least expensive one and save money. Which gives every provider the incentive to either be the least expensive one or provide tangibly more benefit to justify a higher price.

Yes, for it to work it would have to be combined with some functioning price transparency, but so let's do that then.

And the last isn't actually required. If patients can discern no meaningful difference between providers then they'll just choose the least expensive one, leading to price competition as intended. Though you can imagine that repeat patients will still have good knowledge of how big the patient rooms are, how soft the beds are, how much time they find themselves spending in the waiting room, how far the office is from their house, etc.

> None of that happens in the current healthcare market where we pay over double all other modern nations, nor does it happen in the many other nations that effectively control medical costs via setting a schedule of prices for drugs and medical procedures.

Nobody thinks the current US healthcare market is cost efficient. The existing regulatory environment is bad and promotes a lack of competition. But why is the only solution price controls, instead of fixing the bad rules that impair competition?

I know nothing about US system so I can't really compare the two. The only reason I know anything about our own constitution is I had to do a school project on Sir Henry Parkes way back in high school.

Personally I kind of have opposite view about the states I do think there needs to be a trade off between federal and state power our current system is flawed but probably strikes a good balance. I'm sympathetic to fact that someone living in say Regional QLD has different needs to Melbourne or Sydney and I don't want a system where power is consolidated in the big population centers and no one else's vote really matters but at the same time I'd like voting power to be more proportional as it stands someones vote in Tasmania holds a lot more weight federally then voters from many of the other states due to equal (rather than proportional representation) of the states.
Understanding causation is useful because it helps you understand how to change the system. If the pressures for increased regulation aren't coming from the companies themselves, where do they come from? What do we do about that?
This is supposedly some TODO app being run repeatedly in Chrome, so it's much more than a JS benchmark.

And Chrome as a whole is memory hungry.
Sure, and I get that.

Point remains that availability of similar capabilities to Termux does not really yet exist on iOS.

I do appreciate knowing about the tool thogh, thanks.
The Danger in Reading Finished Works
Excellent! Good friends are more valuable than gold.

Now, now, a budget is nearly trivial thing. Rent, food, travel, disposable, savings, interest, it's all pretty shallow math. Keep track of your spending and it shouldn't be a surprise as you go along. For a smart guy, running out of dosh shouldn't be a danger.
Shares are a factor in production albeit indirectly. Stock markets were alive and well during the era described in Marx's works so his theories are still valid. Capital is more than just raw machinery and factories. Money and shares are abstract capital. If shares aren't a factor in production why does a company usually go bust when its share price crashes? What about the Great Depression? Share prices and speculation played a massive role in the 1930s crash. Marx spent most of Das Kapital differentiating market value and essential value and so it is with shares. A company has an essential value and a market-traded value. How closely these correspond varies. When the two diverge we have a bubble like the one around 2000.
It's not that difficult lol. Important stuff (= what the driver needs to be able to access during driving) should be physical buttons that are unlikely to be hit by accident, the rest is well served by a touchscreen that optimally can be controlled and seen by the passenger.

Oh and for what it's worth why are "map updates" still a thing in brand new 2019 cars? That's what OTA or, even better, live map fetching from the Internet is for? And why doesn't any car manufacturer work together with Google for the maps display?! Even a top notch BMW still looks gross compared to Google Maps.
“Asking people to treat each other with respect” is “leftist oppression” now?
It is even more baffling when we consider that his discussion of speed-adjusting cruise control (and how it works just well enough to lull drivers into a false sense of security, then bam sudden acceleration on the off-ramp, etc) came from his consulting with the car companies about this problem in the first place.
In all fairness Oracle does have a superior cloud infrastructure, their cloud control code and user application code does not run on the same physical hardware.
This is a very popular model for educational/education-adjacent titles. Not surprising that zachtronics has also filed suit.

Schools generally don’t purchase solutions that don’t have content that fills their entire curriculum’s needs (eg. think a product that covers all of a subject from grades 1-8)

This way, schools act as a great marketing channel for these educational products which are downloaded at the discretion of individual teachers for their particular one-off introductions/lesson plans. Then parents purchase paid versions for their kids at home.

This model can be seen (and has found success) with educational apps Prodigy, Codespark Academy (Foos), and more.

This is not to say it’s purely a marketing ploy- there’s plenty of social good too to being able to expand your content’s reach for educational purposes to many many more players and students than you may have otherwise without a free for schools model.
4/5 stars, all top reviews are “I was provided with a no cost product for an unbiased review” after the cut.
Well, it might be preferable to protecting only the super-rich. :)

but, just as seriously, it's not clear that we actually value anonymous property ownership when it has serious repercussions for our tax base and things like holding properties vacant. (See Vancouver). It's just another place that we have to walk a careful line between individual rights and not causing huge social problems.

The current generation of Mazda have a very pleasant interface. Controls on the steering wheel are split by function. Left side is audio/comms, right side is cruise and driver MFD controls. Automation overrides (lane departure/awd) controls are on a panel left of the steering wheel only the driver can access. AC/Temp controls are physical, below the touch screen. Their is a jog/cmd dial just behind the shifter that controls the center touchscreen. The entire system can be operated from that dial. The system locks out certain center dash functionality when the car is moving. The colors of all displays are the same, including a heroic effort to match the brightness between the digital and analog displays. The only control oddity to me is the location of sports mode in relation the the parking brake switch. Both are next to the shifter which makes sense, but enabling/disabling sport mode is hard to do by touch. There is voice recognition for the av/nav but I have found it useless.
I realize it’s not going to happen. Any solution that can actually accomplish anything is going to cause tremendous economic hardship.

I wouldn't be surprised if Diablo development is why the policy was in place. One of ANet's founders did a lot of work trying to help ship Diablo and it sounded like it had some serious engineering and quality culture issues (iirc Diablo was originally being developed by another studio that Blizzard acquired, but I might be misremembering)

Most people don't have that opinion though - things brought through Amazon are viewed as being vetted and high quality when compared to items through eBay or Wish - Amazon has made no effort to disabuse people of this conception and I personally think they've worked actively to downplay the role the third party plays in product delivery.

I've also always been a bit curious if amazon might be liable for defective products shipped through their warehouse by virtue of the transfer of custody alone. This sort of business model is quite new (it's worlds different from a flea market) and there are several interesting commercial responsibility questions around it.

Part 2 (sorry for the length!)

I should have been tremendously happy. I do feel like I got a completely new lease on life, and a second chance to live life on my terms. My teen years were very rough, and my 20s were extremely rough. And all of the sudden, I am tremendously better, and I all of the sudden turned 30. Life has passed me by, and it has revolved mostly around trying to survive with constant, severe suffering involved for about 15-17 years. It invoked a crisis for me, and now I am trying to soul search and find out truly what I want in life, now that I actually can enjoy things in general.

Also, I properly vetted the situation, and there is a very, very high chance statistically that I will lose access to the only medication that has worked for me, that blood product, due to the Affordable Care Act Supreme Court Case (which will be released late June 2020). This is based off of ~8 or so rare circumstances where the Solicitor General does not defend a Supreme Court case, for the Department of Justice, at the Supreme Court level. Let's just say that statistically the odds of it going well are extremely bad, and I want to hope, but I cannot afford making any bad moves.

I happen to be a dual US|EU national, for which I am extremely grateful and fortunate to be.

This 4th of July is going to be very sentimental for me. This may be the last time I celebrate this holiday with my family, before I am forced to uproot my life in the US, due to potentially no longer being able to access the one medication I need to stay healthy.

I will have to go to Europe, if so, where I have a legal right to access healthcare. Trying to get my care set up properly is going to be an enduring process. I see several providers, and I am also on a lot of obscure and unusual medications. However, there is no country in the world that handles rare diseases better than Norway, so I do know where I am going to settle.

Basically turning 30 made me realize that I am going to have to uproot my life and make a new home, so I can stay alive. I have been in survival mode since I was 18. Plus, it is believed that the third leading cause of death in the US is preventable medical errors. I cannot take that risk when I have a ton of medical problems. It shouldn't have to be this way. It hurts, but I suspect things will be a lot better in Norway.

I know this post was wild, but maybe you got some beneficial insight out of it, that perhaps you can relate to. I hope so. Either way, I am sorry for rambling.
That is not terribly far fetched. Cisco powers a lot of the core and has had nasty zero days before.

Excuse the simple question: When I hear "microservices", I think serverless backend. Is that right, or are they different? If they're the same, how do you stream video with serverless? (Seems like streaming, websockets, etc... shouldn't be possible in a serverless environment...)

It's entirely possible (and also desirable) to make pollution taxes such as a carbon tax revenue neutral i.e. other taxes are lowered to balance the new pollution tax. And because pollution is a marker of inefficiency, pollution taxes serve to increase productivity where other taxes can inhibit it.
Who said they "don't contribute"? Not me, so given you're replying to me that's a straw man argument.

I'm not a fan of Google, but to me leaking your privacy to a mail provider you chose to sign up for belongs to a different privacy category.

It's very good that Gmail proxies images, it's one of the few features that I wish everyone else would copy. Now, on the other side of that, unless their policy has changed since the last time I checked, Gmail still loads images by default and it doesn't cache them, it only proxies them.

So it's good that Gmail obscures your IP address, it's bad that Gmail still loads images from remote servers by default when you open a message, and it's bad that it will reload them every time you open it in a new client/environment instead of serving them from a Google cache.

Read receipts do work in Gmail, and Google should be shamed for that. I didn't call out Gmail in particular because I don't think Google cares about privacy enough to change anything. I'm hopeful smaller companies like Fastmail might.
What I described matches the Disney/Pixar movie Inside Out, which most people readily identify with. :-)

"I am so very sorry for this. When we built Superhuman, we focused only on the needs of our customers. We did not consider potential bad actors. I wholeheartedly apologize for not thinking through this more fully."

Rare to hear such honesty from a CEO. I don't think I've ever seen a corporate leader admit they didn't consider product security. Concerning? Maybe - but I think it's miles better than the usual "we value your privacy and use industry standard blah blah blah.." canned spiel everyone gets in their inbox after a breach goes public.
Wow that setup looks frightening to me. I wonder if drivers are able to put their car in park without even looking like you can do with a conventional automatic shifter. I honestly can't imaging having to look down every time I go to park my car. Plus, no way to tactically determine which gear you're in. I see no benefit and only downsides.
If I used my right arm I was feeling it. And I don't do much leg exercises so I'd say I deloaded on everything except cardio/anaerobic.
God, it seems like all of the recent times an auto manufacturer deviates from an accepted gearshift design it goes horribly. The Jeep gearshift that killed Anton Yelchin comes to mind, but honestly the one you posted seems even worse from a design standpoint. I completely fail to understand what the hell auto designers are doing with UX nowadays.

Something that's important to consider is if your drives can handle a resilver. Each resilver is essentially reading the entire disk (with lots of asterisks) while setting up a parallel zfs system to provision your disks and using the transfer I described will only read your systems fs once.

You don't even need to use the same system. You can setups a different system, run the transfer, turn off the main system, swap the disks.

It's a hastle but it's an option at your disposal.
