> I imagine some revenue sharing scheme could entice some of the states to send some water.

No need, there is a loophole. Bottled water companies are allowed to pull as much water from the watershed as they want and export it. Michigan charges a $200 per year permit fee. The water bottles are limited in size to be less than 5.7 gallons (21.5 liters).

Nestle bottles 5+ million bottles of water per day and sends it where ever they choose.

Someone could build a railroad loop at the edge of the watershed and have a circular train with millions of 5.7 gallon containers. Fill them up on one side, dump them into a pipeline system on the other. $200 per year.

Not in my experience. We get people from all over the world travelling to National Parks, and whether they are hardcore outdoors-folk exploring the back country, or a bus full of older Japanese camera-wielding tourists, they are almost universally friendly, interested in the area, and have stories to tell of their own lives and homes.
Wouldn’t it then be legal to make your own font (so you own the copyright on the computer code) representing a commercial typeface?
Humans are not rational agents. Scaling through a technology model that measures “customer acquisition” and uses its for profit structure to identify more effective messaging and adoption patterns for carbon offsetting commitments may be more impactful on aggregate, even if per your remarks it is objectively worse than the nfp alternative.

On the subset of humanity that is already pro-active on this, advertising COTAP is the way to go but the strategies are complementary.
> Because laws in this area are often vague, I can see that dragonfly would apply varying levels of censorships

"Vague" is a neutral way of putting it.

The laws are "whatever the party declares today. Also, whatever the party declares tomorrow."

The whole value proposition of doing business in China is a gamble that tomorrow's set of party strictures will be equal or better than today's.

(Spolier: they won't!)

And yes, "the party" isn't a single monolithic thing. It's shorthand for "whichever levels of authority have influence and interest in what you're doing."

And no, this isn't comparably similar how the US or any other democratic nation operates.

Andy, I see Spark as essentially a monad that lifts functions into it’s execution context, then sechedules the execution on remote nodes, and gathers the results.

How can you do that in an AOT language? Do you just express your functions at a higher level. Above the layer of containers?

I use my surface on my lap quite a lot, and it works fine, a lot less wobbly and no heat on thighs (or calves, not sure what your upper legs is called in English). It can’t be used on stomach in bed though, like at all. So there are certainly limitations a laptop doesn’t have.
IANAL but I believe you may have a license (paid money) to use the font on your site but you may not have a licence redistribute the font. You paid for the right to air the latest UFC fight at your bar but that doesn't grant you the ability to sale DVDs of it.

However a user of yours could just download the font from your web server or record the fight on their phone.

A slightly rephrased title could be "I gave up listening to music while working", and I'd agree with the general conclusion. I find that listening to music can interrupt my flow state during a 45 min Pomodoro. When the song changes, or when the playlist ends, I notice, and get distracted trying to choose a new album to put on.

I'm quoting the article:

> It takes less time from candidates

Assuming that you've already invested 50 hours practicing algorithm problems[1], how does this approach take less time from candidates?

If I'm interviewing with a dozen companies, it would take far less of my time, to do the initial phone screens with all of them. A typical HackerRank/Leetcode-style pre-onsite phone/online interview typically only takes 45 minutes to 1 hour.

If I had to spend 5 hours on average implementing a custom project for a dozen companies, that would take me 60 hours in total. Even with the time spent studying, short 1-hour algorithm problem interviews take up less time.

[1] Not to mention: I don't think time spent practicing problems on Leetcode/HackerRank is a complete waste. Sure, you're not going encounter hard algorithm problem everyday at work. But it builds certain skills that might be valuable eventually, as a developer.

Book Review: Limited Strategic (I.e. Nuclear) War Knorr/Read
Knorr, Klaus; Read, Thornton (eds) "Limited Strategic War" Frederick A Praeger NY (1962)

Well, this is a chilling book. It contains 8 essays, including one by Schelling (The Strategy of Conflict, (http://elcenia.com/iamapirate/schelling.pdf) also a must-read book)

The essay by Burns (Chapter 6) "The Problem of Alliances" sets up an all-too-real China-Australia conflict (China gets most of its coal from Australia). This could make the South China Sea Nine-Dash line into a "bit of a kerfluffle" (to use British understatement).

This is a collection of essays on limited nuclear war. In chapter 5, p156 we see:

"The effort to distinguish sharply between "conventional" and nuclear weapons is necessarily an effort to impede such reprisals, as in Khrushchev's contention that nuclear war necessarily must be all-out nuclear war. If he can convince us that he really believes this, he effectively deters us from resorting to nuclear reprisals. We might be able to meet this in part by effectively establishing limited nuclear retaliation as official policy before a war occurs. This would have the additional advantage, were it politically feasible, that the strategy would not be initiated during the heat of a losing war, when the newness of the policy and the lack of defined limits might make the coordination of expectations more difficult than if the policy were enunciated in advance. Moreoever, failure to enunciate the policy in advance that any use of nuclear weapons will be opposed -- for example, by double retaliation -- thus making the coordination of expectations more difficult."

Note that "establishing limited nuclear retaliation as official policy" JUST occurred. The Pentagon published "Nuclear Operations" https://fas.org/irp/doddir/dod/jp3_72.pdf

So if you're sitting around thinking that Nukes will never be used, you need to read this book.
That's just grunt work that still had to be stitched together by a human.
Tech Journalism’s ‘On Background’ Scourge
Well I guess not damage, but most mobos have an overheat prevention mechanism that will shut the system down at those temps. Can't really use your CPU over 100°C if your motherboard shuts the system off.

Sure, but until then, nope.

For whatever it's worth, I interviewed at both Google and Amazon recently and got no linked list questions at either: trees and graphs appear to be what's "in" right now, as far as whiteboarding algo questions. Obviously there are still concerns about using whiteboarding data structure problems to assess candidates, but the issue of using practically-dead data structures has at least been acknowledged.
The way this scanline counter was implemented is quite clever. From nesdev wiki (https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/MMC3):

The counter is based on the following trick: whenever rendering is turned on in the PPU, it fetches nametable and BG pattern tiles from dots 0-255 and 320-340 of a scanline and fetches sprite patterns from dots 256-319, even if no sprites are visible. Because of this, if BG uses the left pattern table ($0000), and if sprites always use the right pattern table ($1000), A12 will remain low during all nametable and BG pattern fetches, and high during all sprite pattern fetches, causing it to oscillate exactly one time per scanline and 241 times per frame.
> China started internet censorship apparatus in response to calls of ethnic violence after the XinJiang riots a decade ago

Who fucking cares? The PATRIOT Act was in response to the worst terrorist attack on US soil in US history. Three thousand people. I have friends who were in New York then. The Japanese internment camps were in response to Pearl Harbor. If an action is wrong, the impetus doesn't fucking matter, the action is still wrong.

6-4 (Tiananmen) was not ethnic violence, do we agree on that? And the Chinese government does use internet censorship to suppress discussion of it, are you going to deny that?

Under GDPR I find it hard that they are using any debit/credit data without your consent to be used for any sort of profiling.

For loyalty programs you give explicit consent to be in a marketing program. They can't simply use your banking data to profile someone, neither your tax number which you give (in some countries) in order to get a valid receipt.
But all of those need time and effort to prepare. If you put a dollar cost on the effort involved McDonalds dollar menu might come ahead.

So you think all Google needs to do is just filtering out websites blocked by the Chinese government? Really?

You have a underlying lack of understanding how censorship works. They don't just block websites. The Chinese government wants to filtering out results they don't like on accessible websites.
I don't know how it works in the EU but in the US stores definitely sell shelf space, and retailers don't always own the products they are selling to the end consumer. Physical retail stores are often essentially modeled as aggregators of consumers, access to which is sold to manufacturers -- it is a platform of sorts. Most of the market arrangements in online retail are mirrored in physical retail.

This isn't as clear a distinction in practice as you are making it out to be.
Indeed, but note it usually works well enough, because most surfaces have high IR emissivity (in particular with organics like plastics, papers, woods, fabrics, etc.; soils and liquids as well).

The one exception you have to be careful is with unpainted metal (high reflectivity). If polished it can be so low that even calibration doesn't help -- because you'd need extremely precise calibration that isn't practical and because reflections and noise/other heat sources will pollute you readings. In that case a simple sticker (or thermocouple reading) would be more adequate.
Steamboat Willie was a minstrel cartoon — a cartoon with a deviously racist past. I suppose it can be the lead photograph for your blog post too, but why?

Is Airbnb not penalizing unruly renters booking through their platform as part of their policy? There should be some way to record if cops are called out for disturbances against their future use of the platform. Platform users should be held accountable for unreasonably disturbing the peace of neighbors period.

Random idea: internet connected decibel meter in ceiling or Alexa type device that tracks noise levels above a certain threshold and doesn't record any conversations, just measures decibel levels (100% legal). If consistently above city noise ordinances, renters get fined by Airbnb and ultimately banned if it keeps occurring across bookings. Is this too intrusive? I bet smart speakers can already achieve this functionality. Neighbors should have peaceful enjoyment is my motivation behind the system. Thoughts?
IBM announces three new open source projects
From a legal standpoint, based on the article most of these developers are keeping the fonts in their assets (debatable if this is good or not).For public repositories, not to be malicious and be offer free fonts... How much trouble would they be in?

I Assume this is probably possible for FontAwesome premium icons as well ?

Having the server host the assets is probably the best solution (same rep) but if it's not in Git then it needs to be managed in the build for other open source developers. What's the Correct way of handling this situation?

It's not just the Republicans, the current bill to enshrine this into law has bipartisan support. The link to HR 1957 shows 1 Democrat sponsor, 18 Democrat co-sponsors and 10 Republican co-sponsors.

> Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee, led by Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., passed the Taxpayer First Act, a wide-ranging bill making several administrative changes to the IRS that is sponsored by Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Mike Kelly, R-Pa.

> In one of its provisions, the bill makes it illegal for the IRS to create its own online system of tax filing. Companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, and H&R Block have lobbied for years to block the IRS from creating such a system. If the tax agency created its own program, which would be similar to programs other developed countries have, it would threaten the industry’s profits.

I don't agree with the suggestion that there is no difference (other than word semantics) between relying on empirical observations and relying on a privately communicated piece of spec.

The one playing semantics is you, since your apparent concern is the definition of the term "undefined behavior" and whether something falls under that definition.

My point is about how well an engineering decision is justified, not what term applies to it according to some document.

Launch HN: Enchanted Security, the virtual content security policy for websites
Hi HN,

I'm excited to show you Enchanted Security (enchantedsecurity.com), a virtual content security policy for protecting websites!

There are various ways an attacker can get malicious JavaScript onto a website. Most everyone knows about XSS, but increasingly common is by compromising trusted scripts, either libraries you're using in your own code, code hosted on S3 without proper permissions, or third party scripts hosted by partner companies. You may be surprised by how easy this to a dedicated attacker - for example, many open source libraries on Github are not very well maintained. Once the attacker has JavaScript on your site, they can steal sensitive data like credit card numbers, passwords, crypto wallet keys, etc, sending it from the user's browser out to someplace they can access.

One popular type of malware, called Magecart, recently led to British Airways being hit with a record £183m fine for losing credit card numbers right off their checkout page.

There's something called a content security policy (CSP) header which websites are supposed to use to protect from various threats like these. However, it's really hard to set up and use properly. Companies are inadvertently breaking their site with it. And it can take many months or over a year to set up. Also, there are subtle holes in CSPs that a hacker can work around (e.g. if you whitelist Google Analytics, which most sites do, an attacker can create their own Google Analytics account, then use that for data exfiltration by sending data as custom events. This has actually been done in the wild by attackers. Enchanted Security can inspect payloads, so if you specify your site's Google Analytics tracking id, we can block all Google Analytics events to other tracking ids you don't control).

Enchanted Security adds some inline JavaScript to the <head> of your page that uses secure function interposition to interpose itself between the page code and browser functions (fetch, XMLHttpRequest, Image, etc). It then tracks these calls for backend processing and analysis. It also can block them if they appear malicious. Right now, we have a blacklist of known malicious domains, and we monitor for anomalies. We plan to use machine learning as well.

Is this something your company could use? If interested, get in touch through the contact form at https://enchantedsecurity.com/
I'm guilty of having searched GitHub's repositories for fonts I like. Using them for personal projects and wouldn't mind paying for a license if I end up loving it.

Though, it begs the question: who and how will find out that you simply borrowed the font?
Update: on second thought, without support for webhooks, this is going to be somewhat less useful than my current setup.
Money had a large part to do with it. GM upped their bid after the Siemens offer and Siemens didn't respond in kind.

GM now admits they severely overpaid for the French company and in hindsight should have let Siemens buy it because the French assets they acquired were a serious drag on the performance of the post-acquisition GM Power subsidiary.
You have it wrong. Arial was created to not have to bother with international typeface laws as a legally distinct Helvetica. Apple just paid the licensing fees in those countries where they were required to.
Food deserts aren't nearly the problem one might naively think. Making high-quality, healthy, affordable, nutritious produce available to the households that need it the most does not tend to result in dietary shifts. Often what's lacking is the cultural knowledge, culinary experience, time, or physical infrastructure to cook the quality, affordable, nutritious food every human being should have.
