Exactly! Examples are usually the most useful thing in the documentation.

Based on my experience, people go first to the examples and then read the description.

I guess that's also why stackoverflow is working so well as it is basically a large library of examples.

> Except it is illegal to randomly destroy a banknote (coins are different).

We're talking about drug dealers and other major crime perpetrators... And you're thinking they care about the crime of 'destroying a bank note'?

I think it'd be safe to chalk that up to "I don't think they care".
It's quite possible to follow this or a similar workflow with merge / pull requests. In fact, this describes pretty closely what I do. I work off master, amending a single commit, periodically squashing or fixing up newer commits, and periodically rebasing. Then when I'm ready to deploy I push my local master to a remote staging branch (git push origin master:some_new_remote_branch_issue_xxxxx) and open a MR on Gitlab. Then, when the MR gets merged and deployed, I rebase my local master against remote master and my commit gets "eaten", thus putting me back on a clean master branch. I never leave master locally. Rinse, repeat.

How is this different from what you are suggesting?

That's the part you cited, and went on to imply the author might be referring to Rust's borrower checker. Nothing from the author's "wording" implies knowledge of Rust's memory protection techniques

> Having more than roughly $10,000 cash in the US is nearly illegal

Where are you getting that from? [1] There is nothing even close to being illegal to possess in the US any amount of cash. There are laws to prevent illegal activity and against structuring (attempting to deposit below some limit to avoid disclosure).

Now to what appears to be your point having $100,000 in cash in open display in your car when you are stopped by the police will definitely raise suspicions. But then again so will many other things that are not illegal but might raise suspicions depending on the context of where they appear. (Walk into a bank with a toy pistol vs. walk around your friends backyard with a toy pistol).

[1] And what is 'nearly illegal' is that like 'nearly pregnant' (the classical example actually 'pregnant' or 'not').
I disagree with your overall point of view. Profits (i.e. savings) is exactly what will save the environment by enabling the preservation of the rain forest and other desirable environments.

I do agree with you that incentives have to change. Humanity absolutely depends on industry to survive and leaving precious resources like the rain forests in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats will ensure their destruction through corruption.

Wittgenstein somehow managed to suck all of western philosophy into his head and came up with this. I don't think it's necessary for us to follow in his footsteps to realize the truth of what he's saying; this is much like we don't have to understand thermodynamics to build a campfire, even though we're using a lot of its principles. He can be "right enough" for our purposes, which is ironically the point of much of his work.

The good news is that humans are little language-creating monsters; so much so that we do it all the time without realizing it. (This is one of the reasons Wittgenstein's conclusions were so notoriously hard for us to reach. Whenever anybody got close, we without-realizing-it created new usages and kept on going. It wasn't until the self-contradictions reached almost crisis levels and there was enough thought put on paper that we could step back and see what we were doing)

Not only do "is" and "have" cause trouble, they can have multiple meanings at multiple levels between the same two closely-knit people in the same social context. A lot of comedy is prefaced on two people who know each other really well getting mixed up on what one word might mean.
That may be because you're competing against other owners who bought their houses for peanuts (relatively speaking) and thanks to Prop 13 also pay peanuts in property tax. They can depress market rents (below purchase prices) because for them rents are mostly profit. Even people who bought 5 or 10 years ago at previous prices can rent for less than you but keep the same margins.
From what I can tell, most of the people arguing that cities are safe for kids also seem to think that letting street people do whatever they want in the urban core is okay. You can cite all the stats about stranger danger that you want, but no sane parent is going to let their kids play outside in American urban cores as they currently exist. Urban cores are not human friendly places. Adults put up with it so they can live in a more stimulating environment. They are not suitable for children to wander in the same way that my kids can wander in our neighborhood in the suburbs.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply with why you believe the other poster is wrong. Too many people just downvote and move on without giving the opportunity to let others learn.

However, I think you're wrong. There is slavery today with rape, murder, physical control, etc. When I see "Modern day slavery" or the "modern equivalent" is still just "slavery".

Agreed.

Some people have the potential and some people don’t. Those who do have it, have it in wildly varying degrees.

I think the problem with American education at least is it caters to the dumbest kid in the class and doesn’t have any widespread notion of HS-level vocational education. So the smartest kid in the class winds up dumber than the smartest kids in other countries’ classes.
The problem is that the phrase "exceeds authorized access" does not distinguish between the access increasing beyond the authorization and the authorization decreasing below the current access. Suppose I put in my Terms of Service the phrase "Access to this system is contingent on running the delivered webpage, including all first-party and third-party Javascript, without modification." Now, whether or not the HTTP request to the server is authorized depends on what you do with the payload.

This is why the CFAA is such a horribly written law. It takes the ToS, something that should be squarely under civil law, and elevates them to being a felony under federal law.
I assume by additional forms of authentication you mean codes sent over either email or SMS? Email is not a bother to deal with, because one can just copy the code over from the email; while phone SMS is not an issue because I did not confirm my phone number to any Web services. (For example, I think Paypal asks me to "confirm" my phone number every time I log in, even though Paypal knows the number is mine it is probably bound by regulation or law not to force multi-factor-authentication on me. So, just say no when asked about confirming your phone number.)

Do you have an example of a site that requires "additional forms of authentication"? I remember something like that happening to me before, but I can not remember which site it happened on.
Which parts are falling apart, or what do you define as falling apart? I used to live in SF, and I still work there. It looks mostly put-together to me. There is definitely blight and abandoned builds, especially around Civic Center, but that plus landfill is not "most" of SF.

Map of landfill (green): https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d7f66b45593b76f812792e...

My comment is mostly targeted at the idea that there aren't spatial constraints. SF proper is thoroughly developed. The land is accounted for. We can nitpick over specific plots, but there isn't new land to start developing. People who move here want to live in SF or close enough to public transit, and most of those places are developed too, even if they are suburban. There is no BART in Tracy, etc. so people aren't moving to the undeveloped land there.

Surely their real job is to get reelected?

In that case should they not at least project an aura of being in touch with reality.

On this issue voters either don't care, in that case they wont mind you telling the truth. Do care about deforestation but value jobs over environment, in which case you're losing their votes. Do care and value the environment over jobs, in which case they still don't want to be lied to, and the lying doesn't exactly pander to them. I cant think of many other reasonable political outlooks. So what is this? virtue signalling to some group? Is there a group so out of touch with reality that only lies sound reasonable? I don't know.
They certainly won’t be paying less than interchange though which in my world averages 2.35%
I'd be surprised if the big countries used plain Tor for their vital communication. They would be having their own secret networks or tunnel through Tor. Small countries have probably simply given up hiding their intelligence from the big ones at this point and are simply interested in ensuring their immediate rivals are kept out, which Tor can probably do.
Not a single intelligence agency or diplomatic service will rely on ToR for security that’s madness.

A properly configured commercial or open source VPN is considerably more reliable and secure than ToR since you have no idea who is listening on the exit nodes or who can execute unmasking attacks by traffic shaping or monitoring if they control enough relays.

For the most part any country which can perform intelligence collection out of its embassy will have sufficient budget and and technical capacity to develop their own secure means of phoning home.

Also for highly sensitive material a diplomatic pouch is still the most secure means of transport as it never leaves your sight and is never inspected and if you do get intercepted then destroying physical media is much easier than securing network traffic to the same level of assurance.
>> We've observed that [leaving children unattended] becomes unsafe in places with high density populations.

> Is that factually accurate, or just a false impression that people get?

I don't feel safe as an adult living in downtown seattle due to the homeless population (this person's experience 100% matches mine [0]) and homeless people are going to naturally gravitate towards high density areas where there are more people to panhandle from.

Also, it's much riskier to commit a crime in a low density population where you can be recognized much more easily.

I once watched, jaw somewhat agape as an attorney on twitter (or someone whose bio said she was an attorney) sparred with other netizens over a claim she had made about an event someone (a third-party) said was taking place in her community relating to a local business.

Respondents began to reply asking for additional information, how the claim could be verified, many simply asked for a source-others expressed concern for accuracy of information because they were potentially affected. Maybe one out of every few were “trollish” by popular definition. I read many of them. Very few seemed to be politically charged or even aggressive towards this attorney, they simply asked for more information.

Her responses were aggressive and antagonistic, calling respondents “trolls” and “enablers”. Even people asking in a considerate and mild mannered way because they were trying to inform themselves on the affair.

No facts ever came out. From the attorney or the local entity she claimed to have information on. She encouraged others to take the lack of information as proof that her friend’s claims were truth. Many did.

It was something to behold. An attorney was sharing what was effectively hearsay on twitter about a local business and actively combatting people asking for more information.

Strange times indeed.
The path between two cities is privately owned and the owner charges people to walk through it. There is a side gate for bathroom access. This is akin to going up to the gate and telling the owner "I'm just here to use the bathroom" (sni:viasat) and then after going through the gate just continuing to the other city.

Sure it's illegal, but hardly worth 5 years and I doubt there's a judge who would give more than community service for a stunt like this. But who knows, people get a lot more sensitive when it happens with computers or if it involves air travel.
This seems like the type of FUD that would be spread by people that are looking to short the stock. Start to float an idea and put out a few provocative headlines. Next thing you know if enough of it is spread around it becomes a reality that people think about and act on.

There actually was a promising Microsoft research project called "Intentional Programming"(IP) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_programming) a few decades ago. The idea is good but i believe due to it being a true disruptive technology and other market forces it was shelved.

PS: Charles Simonyi, the inventor of IP, wrote a paper called "The Death of Computer Languages, The Birth of Intentional Programming" which is worth a read.
As someone who has created captive portal systems I have to say that this is a very poor system.

My system tagged you in a firewall so your packets were not getting out until you had authenticated and ended up in an ipset list that bypassed the tag.
Not really. If the plane has open Wlan or a well-known password (ie in the info stuff) then all you need to is connect. No further authorization needed. There is simply no need to open a browser.
> When I first read about Wittgenstein in some junior encyclopedia, it said that he discovered that many problems in philosophy were meaningless because words might mean different things.

That's how I've always intuitively felt about the Ship of Theseus thought experiment. It only seems paradoxical when people try to apply imprecise language to a precise situation. The way I see it, it's technically a new ship with every part that gets replaced. Nothing unusual about it.

I would love to see that data as well, but can’t find any reliable numbers that control for newness/niceness of the apartments. Anecdotally, I pay about $1000 a month less than market rate on the west side of LA due to rent control, which realistically is a big reason I haven’t already left LA entirely. It would take an offer in the $50k range to buy me out. Landlord offers tend to be lower than that [1].

Same reason I use Paypal where possible. There's a list of organizations that are allowed to charge me without my interaction (like recurring payments) and I can cancel them whenever I want from Paypal UI instead of figuring out a random business' arbitrary, hostile cancelation flow.
You're not far from agreeing with each other:

With a small caveat that you can’t have any in-app purchases if you do so.

As far as these regulations are a proxy for racism, yes absolutely they need to be removed. But lets understand the arguments that aren't based in racism, and I think they exist, to try and accommodate those aspects of single family home neighborhoods.

I think if 1/4 of high density space is dedicated to public parks, that would go a long way towards addressing the real issues. Those parks can't just be space 'somewhere' either. There has to be one within ~two blocks of every home in my estimation.
This made me laugh. The steady March of progress.
An alternative to this is to scan for active Mac addresses on the WiFi and steal one and hope it’s someone paying for the premium WiFi already :) This works on almost all hotel WiFi too.
Nitpick: the Worker's Party was in power up to 2016, when president Dilma Rousseff was impeached and their former allies, centrists Democratic Movement, rose to power. Even Dilma wasn't particularly friendly to the environment, as can be seen on the 2010-2016 data.

Bolsonaro's presidency is on another level of pandering to illegal loggers and agribusiness, though. The current Minister of the Environment, Ricardo Salles, is openly hostile to anything relating to preservation. Including risking a free investment by European countries to the tune of about half a billion dollars
I imagine you'd have to do the math. The 1% (or even 2%) rule only really applies to properties in areas where appreciation is minimal (or negative). A simplified view would be:

Total profit = (Rental cashflow + appreciation) - (Maintenance + other costs)

If you predict appreciation to be high, it may offset low net cashflow or even negative net cashflow. Especially if you use leverage (loans), and have appreciation of 5%+/year.

In Austin it's similar (maybe not as extreme): a $300,000 house may rent for $1,500/mo which probably doesn't even cover the mortgage. But 5%/year is $1250/mo. AND there are more than a few tax advantages to barely making money renting (or losing) but selling at a profit later. I am not an accountant or landlord, but I have run the math and it seems to make sense.
This isn’t true. Plenty of construction, plumbing and electricians are unionized. They work on roads, big public or corporate projects and do just fine. The lower end, residential tend to be non-union. Many trades folk want to be in a union. You can also go hang your own shingle too.
Yes - City would be great for people doing stuff around activities, events and local places. But Country would be more powerful for e-commerce I suspect (my usecase).

Even when Tor was new I had my doubts about it due to its origins among other factors. My dissertation was on privacy technologies in that era (early '00s). I covered a lot of ground at the time.

The most sinister change in information technology is cloud and the fact that you have no 4th Amendment protections for anything stored there. Our laws simply aren't keeping up. But it was a neat trick to get everyone using cloud and then pulling the rug out of privacy by say "oh, and by the way, since the files aren't on your property, you have no legal protections for them."
Great! If you can't fill the spot to your liking, you should get out of the game. Sell to someone who needs a place to live, or is comfortable lowering rents and dealing with the work load.

I like read receipts because they help me not feel like I'm talking into the abyss. It moves the needle a tiny, tiny bit closer to more face-to-face characteristics.
