Someone tested this shirt out on EasyALPR Parking Enforcer a recently and it did scan. (I’m putting EasyALPR through Startup School right now)

I was wondering about it—-though it was only tested against the image of the shirt, I suspect it would be picked up at close enough range.

Most of my work is creating great workflow for handling incorrect or unwanted data gathered using alpr on iOS.

If you were waltzing through a the parking lot of one of my commercial property customers and a patroller somehow scanned you—-some admin later that day might frown for a few moments before marking the “vehicle sighting” invalid.
That seems to be the consensus on russian twitter. Would be strange if after stealing everything that was possible Putin and his party of crooks and thieves would manage to create actual nuclear propulsion rocket, instead of animated cartoon and failed experiments.
Both are fairly likely, but one is easier to pull off than the other.

I was expecting to see conspiracy theories due to the assorted powerful and wealthy people Epstein has been linked with, but really think about it. He was a wealthy man who lived a pampered lifestyle and had largely escaped consequences for his actions in the past but was unlikely to do so in this case. He was looking at spending the rest of his life not just in prison but as something of a pariah in prison (wealthy, privileged, child abuser). He'd attempted suicide previously and if that was an attempt on his life he had ample opportunity to say so.

As far as the suicide watch, sure he was high profile but he was in jail awaiting trial and there are probably plenty of people put on suicide watch. The jail doesn't have the resources to monitor everyone 24/7, and frankly regular checks are probably plenty to catch or prevent most attempts.
These stories are all amazing (talking about the anthology with story of your life) and out of them came one of the best sci-fi movies in a long time.

My favorite story though is the one with the two people who become super intelligent and go to war amongst each other. That one was crazy.
Too late for that. DRM has been a thing in video games for a long time.
Morally and legally? From what we can tell suicidal individuals often care "what other people think" in the vein of social acceptability. He ran with a crowd that flaunted a disregard for legality and moral compunction. In this case, I would not believe his suicidal attempt (not attempts) had any consideration for moral or legal ramification.
Right. It is proof of corruption and incompetency. He was in the custody of the government. This damages trust in the system, but also the ideology of it, as people already express that this outcome is good. Those people don't care about evidence, witnesses, arguments, and now he can't directly name co-conspirators and accomplices.

Someone has bought their idea of justice with death.
Maybe. One hopes this can be salvaged. I guess we may never know who was behind it all pulling the levers. Mr Epstein can’t have been at the top.
Sure hope you did it!
When I say "right", I don't mean what's currently granted to him by our Rube Goldberg justice system, I mean the inalienable rights of any sentient being. I've met people who think you should be able to punch out any time regardless of your situation, people who think you're responsible to get your affairs in order first, people who think it's a sin regardless, etc. This guy was in a unique situation because his estate isn't going to suffer (maybe they'll have to pay a lawyer to figure out who gets the sacks of cash) and even if he got acquitted somehow his reputation and ability to move in the circles he's accustomed to are destroyed. Would you agree that if he happened to be innocent he had a right to commit suicide? (I'll take your silence just now as a yes or at least a maybe. :b) So how about if he was guilty? Does he have the right to kill himself after conviction? How about if he donated $100,000,000 to an anti human trafficking charity, but dodged trial? Like I said, it's an interesting, nuanced question.
Apparently “fold” is an archaic suffix that means the same thing as times. I grew up with that so I haven’t really thought about it much.
This guy's (now deceased) sister drove him to the location. So she was in on it, too. (Why she's not included as a perpetrator in discussions about this event is odd.)

I'm sure he left evidence that goes well beyond his own phone if he was planning and plotting with others. They should have no trouble piecing this together with or without his phone.

One thing to keep in mind is that really only two things Apple can do. The first is to release a modified and signed version of iOS to LE agencies that has any timeouts removed to allow them to try to bruteforce the passcode locks. If a user uses a significantly long password instead of a passcode, this becomes way less effective.

The second thing is to log iMessage data on the server-side (since it has to be decrypted at some point). This would allow them to produce it, but would miss any apps installed on the phone used for alternative communication.

I don't like to see this so much as Apple refusing but there really isn't a way for Apple to enable easy full access without a backdoor, which is an unrealistic expectation.

Some ICE vehicles don't have a transmission! The most important reason for ICE engines to have multiple gears is low speed operation and moving from a stopped position.

First - ICE engines have a minimum running speed, usually between 650-800 rpm. Driving in a gear that runs the engine slower than this can cause the engine to stop running or damage it. The vehicle needs to be able to operate at low speeds, which requires a low gear ratio. Operating at high speeds requires a higher gear ratio so the engine isn't damaged from running at extremely high rpm (efficiency is also an important factor, but secondary).

Second - Motor vehicles with ICE engines (ignoring hybrid assist features) need to be able to move away from a stop with the engine running, and without allowing the engine rpm to drop below idle. This requires a clutch mechanism to disconnnect the running engine from the rest of the drivetrain, and to slip as the vehicle's speed rises to a point where it's safe to lock the engine's rotation speed to the drivetrain's rotation speed. Manual transmissions come with manually operated clutches, newer automatics have automatically operated clutches, and old automatics have a hydraulical coupler that slips at low engine speeds.

Massive vehicles have an extremely low first gear, so they can get going from a stop. Passenger vehicles have a first gear low enough to operate in places like a parking lot. Top fuel drag cars only have one speed; a massive clutch controls engine power transfer to the wheels.

Electric motor vehicles don't have the low speed operation problems that ICE cars have, or anywhere near the level of inertial wear and cacaphony at high rpm, so the transmission can be optional. Transmissions are expensive, and a vehicle in the EV market in its current state doesn't need that level of optimization to be competitive.

The fire department can do surprise inspections of businesses to insure they are complying with fire codes.

Heartbreaking, but at this point it does not really surprise that people of highly regarded intellect and achievement indulge in such horrible practices while most people around them turn a blind eye. On the other hand we should be wondering if our black and white view of the subject and all the rhetoric about "monsters" only helps promote silence. I believe humanizing the evildoers keeps the rest of humans aware that they too can be evildoers and perhaps backtrack and speak out more easily when they are on the fence.

If the NSA can’t keep foreign intelligence from stealing its encryption keys, how can we expect the government to protect any backdoor into our devices?

I have no idea why you're being downvoted because that's perfectly fine argument. Alert fatigue is a thing. And if a missile really was headed towards there, well, all hell would break loose.
I'm not aware of a similar feature built into other languages, but most of it could be easily achieved with almost any type system.

Just have two separate types, e.g. UnsafeString and regular String, and some kind of `convert` function that takes a validation function as an argument. You'd get compile-time checking that way.

People don't tend to use such things in practice though, and you would also have to ban a portion of most language's standard libraries to enforce it in practice (because they already return regular strings for inputs).
Zero being a present value and truthy makes sense to me--same as Ruby.

[] being truthy is the same as Ruby, but somewhat of a gotcha as an empty vector [] does not have the same truthiness as an empty list '() aka nil.
The performance version of the Model 3 does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and by all reports it’s an excellent track car.
'suicide watch' generally means that someone checks your cell more frequently looking for signs that you're working on a way to kill yourself, not that you're constantly monitored. That's expensive.
Because 0-60 times are just one facet of performance. Why aren't Tesla dominating Formula E? Or hill climbing?
It's not a perfect analogy. The problem with the "back door" is that these keys will leak. They always do. It's a big danger to have a weakness in all our devices that we know, eventually, Russia, China, or Iran will get their hands on.

My impression is that German car brands usually do not focus as much on 0-60 accelaration as much as Tesla does. Especially for a Porsche, it's more about handling than drag race performance.

> Project Pluto.

Sorry, should have mentioned that the Americans came up with this ugly idea.

Edit:

And in defense of the Americans they canned it:

"Despite these and other successful tests, the Pentagon, sponsor of the "Pluto project", had second thoughts. The weapon was considered "too provocative",[2] and it was believed that it would compel the Soviets to construct a similar device, against which there was no known defense."
It makes more sense in context, take Patrick Henry's words in 1775 to understand what liberty and the preservation of constitutional rights means to Americans.

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

or Thomas Jefferson in 1787:

"We have had 13. states independent 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure."
At his age, even a lighter sentence would likely be a life sentence. I think he knew that, and seeing the rest of his life would be court cases and jail, took the easy way out. Assuming this was in fact suicide, he made a logical choice.
Question mark is a Scheme tradition. Clojure is a new lisp, drawing inspiration from many sources.

One of Rich Hickey's goals, stated in many ways and in many of his presentations, was to design a modern lisp not bound by design decisions in old ones. That's why Clojure is not built on or directly based on any specific lisp.

He has made a big point about moving on from lisp-isms such as `car` and `cdr`, which are based on tradition and specific archaic hardware implementation, to modern and within-language-consistent things like `first` and `rest`, which are both self-descriptive and implemented for anything that conforms to the seq protocol, as opposed to `car` and `cdr`, which are tied to cons cells.

I do not recall anything specific that he's said about about the choice of a question mark vs a "p", but I can imagine a similar argument that a question mark is more self-descriptive than "p". "p" only makes sense if you know lisp traditions.

They're selling better than the model x in Norway so far in 2019. For me personally they have too short range and too little space but there is a certain segment that want a "real" electric car made by an encumbered manufacturer.

"Reputed journalists" You're what I thought, a closet elitist who thinks rest of the masses are dumb just because they don't agree with you, and try to label abusing the power journalism. In a sense you're part of psuedo-intellectual bigotry.
And I guess if they are really enterprising they could print off a bunch, build a potato gun analog, and go on a rampage. But then again in the time it takes to print even the single copy in some states they could go to the store and come back with an AR-15 and extended clip.
Not sure what to make of it. Certainly having someone in jail kill themselves while already on suicide watch is not a good look for the authorities. And his exiting the scene might be convenient for some.

I wonder if we'll ever really know the full story?
Also, if all the Chinese are doing is going and looking up all the publicly funded research then the system is working as intended, just as if they needed some kind of software and came back with something open source.

> Python's rule is simple, it's JS that came up with confusing rules.

I think Perl was there first: in addition to 0 and "" being falsy in Perl, "0" is also falsy. Then there is this nifty Perl value "0 but true": if you stick it into a condition, it will evaluate to true, but if you do math with it, it behaves like the number zero.
It’s in Ruby as well, inherited from Perl. It doesn’t get much use though.
"Suicide watch" covers a range of activity. Someone may be getting a visual check once an hour, once every 30 minutes, or once every 15 minutes. That may be as simple as looking through a hatch / peephole to see if the person isn't obviously ligatured, or it may include calling to the person and hearing a response.

There's not much evidence that 15 minute observations work, and some evidence they cause harm. If someone's risk is high enough for them to be on observations they probably need to be on continuous observations.

Continuous observations are tricky. Imagine another person being with you 24 hours of the day, watching you while you eat, bathe, defecate. We want to avoid them if possible because it doesn't build the patient's / prisoner's safety. It keeps them safe for those few days, but it may significantly increase their risk afterwards.

And this is if the observations actually happen. Sometimes staff lie. https://twitter.com/KirstenSjovoll/status/106738247933674291...

I spend about 8 months/year in the United States (Silicon Valley) and 4 months/year in Israel. I do "feel" a bit safer in Israel than the U.S. (for example I don't like travelling in San Francisco. I fear for personal safety on the streets and on Muni, and you have to garage your car otherwise it will be broken in to).

But I don't feel like I'm going to get shot in the United States. I have never even heard gunfire in the U.S. (off the shooting range!) and I've lived in Brooklyn and Manhattan, too.

Living in the modern world almost feels like the reward circuitry is under attack from corporations with their advertising and they are almost always trying to trick us into doing things that are beneficial to them and harmful to us. (Ex. Fast food, Social Media, even insurance companies :))

Arguably it has been that way for a while, but then factor the internet in, and the time we are spending on it, these corporations have almost unlimited direct access to our brain and can show us whatever image they want to train our brains in ways they want.

Sure, but your low gun violence didn't just happen. People used to have guns, they liked their guns, but there were shootings. People including politicians realized they could do something about it.

It was a successful delaying action. They were outnumbered hundreds to one and never expected to defeat the entire enemy army themselves. They knew they were going to lose that battle, but the intent was to help win the overall war, which the Greeks did.

And if you kill many more of the enemy than they do of you despite being vastly outnumbered, you can justifiably say you gave a lot more than you got, which is a victory of sorts in its own right.
