The 14th Amendment doesn't speak to how warrants are issued; that's the 4th amendment. (Please don't recite the text of the amendment to me - the governing law is what matters.)

We haven't seen the affidavit provided to the court in pursuit of the warrant. Without it, we simply cannot conclude why the warrant was issued, only that it was issued.

I worked once for a Federal district court. If the judge who issued this warrant was anything like my judge, they would question the affiant (usually an FBI Agent or other LE officer) to make sure they were on solid ground. My judge was definitely not a pushover. In several cases, the affiants had identified a particular individual and were requesting the warrant to locate evidence of who might be the co-conspirators.

Finland has a huge culture for drinking Lonkero or Long Drink - very similar to this and for the same reason.

Fermented beverages there are taxed like beer so these long drinks are made as such.

These are on tap in all the bars. It seems to have less of a stigma there than drinking malt beverages in the states.

> and keeping it at a certain RPM range (other than below it's max) isn't really important.

Yeah it is, because electric motors have RPM bands where they are most efficient. The whole point of a adding a two-speed transmission in the first place was to increase efficiency, range, and top speed. If they managed a 5% improvement with a two-speed, I'm betting they could at least double that with an eCVT.
That could simply be due to the fact that CVTs have never been really used and developed for high performance applications, since car enthusiasts hate them. But there was an F1 car with a CVT before they were banned.

> It seems like we are wasting a lot of effort when any experiment is unpublished, when we could at the least be associating a data point with a particular hypothesis.

You're absolutely right, but journals don't see it that way. Journals want to make money, and the articles which make the most money are the ones that prove an alternative hypothesis. This is one of the ways where for-profit publishing is harmful for science.

> This would require some standardization of hypotheses, so that a researcher could select a hypothesis from a list, conduct an experiment to test it, and report those findings to some aggregator. Others would also test the hypothesis and report their findings. Eventually you have some distribution of findings that allow you to examine the experimental methods of outliers as well as modal experiments. In this way every scientific result is the product of some meta-analysis, rather than allowing a single custom experiment to produce a result.

"Standardization of hypotheses" gets a bit tricky and I suspect the standardization process would be stifling. Part of the goal of replication is to improve on methodology, and part of that is finding ways in which your hypothesis wasn't clearly defined, or doesn't contribute to a larger theory. There needs to be some flexibility in which hypotheses scientists pursue.

A more organic way might be for journals to categorize articles as testing new hypotheses or attempting to reproduce old results, and strive for some ratio between the two (1:4 or somesuch).

I think this is a benefit only at higher speeds, tbh. The Tesla single speed setup seems to be really tuned towards low end acceleration, which admittedly is a logical thing to tune for in a premium family sedan.

We've already seen some pretty good hints that the next Tesla Roadster may have at least a two speed gearbox, probably for similar reasons.
i've never read it that way! could you give an example of that?
Maybe, but the anticipation of something like this, a concrete reason to bash vaping, has been palpable for a while now.

For a long time all they had was "it looks like smoking and smoking is unhealthy" or "nicotine is bad" or "tobacco companies are evil". Now it's "vaping will destroy your lungs and kill you". So I'd say this reaction is entirely predictable.

Disgusting? Truly? Everything else I’ll agree with you on, but disgusting isn’t a descriptor I associate with vaping. Certainly not in comparison to cigarettes!
It's irresponsible because it's ignoring a very clear factor in all these cases is that they're all linked to illegal, off the street goods filled with who knows what. It would be more akin to saying oxycontin is bad because people die from contaminated heroin. Not that oxys don't have their own dangers and addiction issues.
Interviews are two-way conversations: a lot of what candidates do (or should be doing) is finding out about the team/company etc., since anything that research would show based on press releases, etc., is superficial. Questions like "What do you believe you can achieve with us personally or professionally that you can't anywhere else in the world?" make very little sense - even if I've read everything there is to read, I still know very little about your company, so there's no way I could answer a question like this.

This, however, is excellent advice: "It is amazing how many candidates won’t premeditate before diving into interview questions. Those who take the time to stop, think it through and have a few crystal clear points are amongst the best people I’ve ever worked with." I interview quite a bit at my current company, and it is amazing how few people stop to think before they answer questions.
Yes I do care, and I agree that they should be doing so: I expect that CAs share these to Certificate Transparency logs, it’s a requirement to so that we can accurately find misissued certificates.

Where’s this “throw it over the wall” stuff coming from? I write tests, if I push and my pipeline fails, I have to fix it. I’m rostered on call, if my app breaks, I have to get up in the middle of the night.

For a simple web app (which is probably what most engineers on HN work on), unit testing is most of the testing you probably need to do (unless you think that a unit test that involves a DB interaction becomes an integration test). Front end code needs a little bit more than that, but automating front end tests is not particularly reliable to begin with, so you could really debate how much of that should be done by hand anyway. Some people swear by BDD frameworks, but that’s how you end up with a 4 hour test pipeline, without getting all that much additional confidence in your work.
That doesn't make much sense, adding a secondary compound doesn't increase the concetration rather by definition it decreases it but is sometimes necessary so that the final product has a high enough viscosity to wick in the e-cig/vaporizor.

The issue with raw cannabis concentrates is that they are most have a wax-like or near solid consistency so they won't work in a normal vape intended for nicotine juice. The normal carrier fluids, propelyne glycol and glycerol don't disolve concentrates very whell. So In legal states, official products add special blends of terpenes. It seems that these blends range from working well enough to meet state regulations to expensive jugs of 'stuff' sold online without much info.

However, there is a cheap, carrier fluid that can disolve concentrates and was used brefiely in regular, nicotine vapes but fell out of favor; PEG. PEG 400 along VG & PG can be used to create a carrier fluid for THC/concentrates.

Really it makes no sense that someone/illicit organization would go through the effort of obtaining large quantities of Vitamin E acetate when PEG 400, VG, & PG are much more common and easy to obtain. None of the press releases specify if Vitamin E acetate made up the majority of the fluid or just enough that it might be contaminated (one mentioned that small amounts are found in cannabis naturally).

The only scenario I can think of where someone would add Vitamin E acetate intentionally is if only a small amount combined with PG and/or VG was needed to stabilize the emulsion. It really depends on how much stock you put on 'maybe someone just ordered a bunch of oils off Amazon and tried them all and then started selling it across multiple states or shared the 'finding' online, etc'. I guess it's possible but it just seems like a lot more work than using already used, common ingredients.
Because it sets up a false dichotomy that one can either be anti-vaping/pro-smoking or pro-vaping/anti-smoking. It is possible to recognize that vaping is safer than smoking but it is still dangerous and provides enough negative externalities that it should be highly discouraged.
Of course you don't. I never said you did. In fact I would argue you never think about this isomorphism 99% of the time.

I'm just saying that a big portion of the math doesn't describe the real world implementation details.

As I said the Church side of the theory doesn't have a real world machine equivalent. We have machines that move things and save things but we don't have a physical machine that represents the concept of a function call. What we instead have is a Turing machine that emulates a function call, not a true simulation of it.
I don't think a percentage is the best way to think about it. There is a lot of variability in lifetimes and the time it takes to resolve issues is not related to the lifetime of the cert.

Just pick a discrete number of days before expiration such that you have a comfortable amount of time to deal with issues.

We (Let's Encrypt) recommend renewing with 30 days left, so every 60 days. If your system is automated like we recommend that shouldn't be burdensome, no reason to do it less often than that.
> "we'll see cases of code which seems to have never worked, code that likely skipped QA or likely had little testing or review before being shipped to users."

This really ground my gears as well. You've just published lengthy posts on how to exploit these complicated vulnerabilities and chain them together, it's unlikely testing could have caught all of them.

And testing for security is entirely different from QA.

Ok I hate to do this, but you're wrong about the tail reducing drag instead of increasing it.

At the time, there was no proof of the Holocaust, or of the rape of Nanking or the genocide in Bosnia. There usually isn't proof of genocide when it's going on because any country authoritarian enough to carry one out is also authoritarian enough to wipe out the evidence.

> Developers are also users of a piece of software.

This is true, and yet your conversation partner still has the winning answer. The point is that, notwithstanding these restrictions on developers—some of whom have the desire to be able to take without reciprocation—the freedom guaranteed by the GPL to users more than makes up for it. We're essentially talking about local versus global maxima here.

> It's almost impossible for a commercial product to use GPL 3 licensed software at all.

On the contrary—GPL is very beneficial, for the reasons I just laid out in another comment[1]. GPL-licensed code is not ipso facto any harder to commercialize than if you were to make the end result available under MIT. It's arguably even easier, since your competitors will have a more difficult time competing with you than if you'd chosen MIT. As Eben Moglen once put it, if you're trying to decide on a license, then by all means you should go with a permissive one—if you're what you're looking for is "a really good license for your competitor to use"[2].

You need only look to history then compare and contrast it with the industry's current preoccupation with funding the development of free and open source software. Red Hat/Cygnus were largely built on top of GPL code. Meanwhile, today's developers entrenched in the GitHub culture, with its permissive-first obsession with licenses like the MIT, have been bamboozled into working against their own interests by giving away their strongest bargaining chip when they decide to go with the flow instead of choosing the GPL.

For a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 42,

You can enumerate a,b pairs and then you need to check whether the "locked in" value of c^3 is a cube.

However imagine it takes 1ns to validate a given pair [a,b].

The eventual solution was [-80538738812075974, 80435758145817515, 12602123297335631].

Since no combination of 3 positive (and therefore small) numbers has worked, we know that one of a,b,c are negative. Let's assume at least one of a,b are negative since it doesn't matter how we allocate them.

To reach the final pair of a = 80435758145817515 (the smaller positive integer) and b = -80538738812075974, you have to increment "a" (starting from 0) 80435758145817515 times and decrement "b" (starting from 0) 80538738812075974 times.

That is 80538738812075974*80435758145817515 possible combinations.

Let's assume each one takes 1 ns (which I believe is fairly optimistic at least for a single machine)

That results in a runtime of 6.5e+24 seconds, aka 2.1e+17 years. No matter how many machines you add, the brute force approach does not appear to be feasible.

I am interested to learn more about how they solved it if not brute force.

> Is it irresponsible to criticize OxyContin because an alternative like fentanyl is even more dangerous?

Except that "fentanyl has a higher therapeutic index than morphine (400 vs 70)". Meaning that the difference between a therapeutic dose and lethal dose is much bigger with fentanyl (ie: safer!).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1312206/

The main issue with fentanyl is that it's potent. Which our supply-driven interdiction system has favoured the movement toward.

But so potent that intermediaries can't mix it up right outside of a proper lab.
