FATCA seems like it has been pretty effective against offshoring and AFAIK there's a hefty exit tax when renouncing US citizenship. There are always loopholes but it seems like it would be easier for the billionaires to lobby to prevent the wealth tax than to leave the US.
Plain and simple, leave now. Things aren’t going to get better, you owe your employee nothing. Just don’t put it on your resume.
I’ve never heard of Apple banning an account. My experience is that they have never denied a refund request.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said this summer that libra raises “serious concerns regarding privacy, money laundering, consumer protection, financial stability” and the Fed had launched a working group to examine it.
OSINT for Avionics
Also, there isn't a single cryptocurrency today that can't be tracked, even ones like Monero.

Really?
Yes - this is how impossible foods makes the heme protein which is central to their burger tasting "meaty". There are tons of startups working on this for other food products, but it's well established in other industries. Many pharmaceuticals are produced via synthetic biology, for example.
I’m in your exact position, it’s okay to leave. Life is too short to work for shitty people / orgs.

Best of luck!
There's definitely a multipurpose aspect to a lot of older martial arts styles, where they are no longer tested for their fitness in most practical senses, and so the form gradually degrades into purely being sport or performance. But the other side of that coin is that arts that develop a restricted kind of technique often do renew themselves when they are reintegrated into a practical system by someone with some design sense, and sport styles in particular allow subsets of fighting to be explored in depth and remain vibrant through competition, even if they are not "realistic".

Boxing, for example, is hugely restricted to avoid grappling and yet the fighters still try to clench up regularly. Actually staying on your feet, throwing punch after punch, is hugely unnatural. But boxers that learn enough grappling to escape submissions can cross over to MMA and do respectably well, because they have the skills to bring down someone at a distance.

Judo, likewise, is full of artifice these days. There are mamy restrictions on the types of holds, penalties to avoid stalling, scoring balanced heavily towards getting off an impressive throw, and a limit of up to twenty seconds to get a pin. But these restrictions also compel judo players to develop strategies for a quick, confident takedown and submission.

The styles that suffer, in contrast, are the ones that may have had relevance in the context of weapon fighting but are now mostly performance - the tai chis or aikidos of the world. Krav maga persists in part because its design works with the smaller knives that modern armed forces continue to use.

Ultimately, the point of training any named techniques is to develop muscle memory - what that memory is used for is secondary, and in that sense all popular systems succeed.
The incentives for people to trick grandma and anyone else into downloading malware would outweigh any benefit.

Frankly, Google and Facebook would probably be the first to release their own App Store apps and then use their platforms to tell everyone how this was safe.

To believe otherwise is naive.
A variety of things. I asked to see if there was anything people wanted to recommend.
The article even said that it is not abnormal for networks to not allow rival networks to advertise on their channel if they specify a time.

ABC pays for the right to rent the airways and do with it as they please within certain parameters. When you rent an apartment don’t you have the expectation of being allowed to do what you want within your apartment within certain constraints?

It wouldn’t really hurt Disney that much if they couldn’t reach the relatively few people who watch TV over an antennae.
I tag my files on macOS since the OpenMeta days. But I refuse to access any library with an application frontend, it's the file system or nothing. These Librarian apps are good for metadata management. That's what I use them for.

However, I am mostly on Windows, these days, so no chance for filesystem tags, even worse now, that I have all my eBooks on a home server.
iTunes DRM can be stripped quite easily. I do it to everything I purchase through it.
If you mean windows, perhaps to an extent. On linux though, it is straightforward to do fine grained management of gpg keys for repos/ppas etc. Essentially, from the end user's standpoint, what you want chrome to ask you is "Do you trust developer Foo for the app Bar?", not "Do you trust chrome to install software?"
But airbnb and uber were at a stage where they didn't have much to lose when they first challenged these regulations. Facebook is one of the most well known companies in the world.

Conversion Tracking AdWords
What if someone wanted to run an ad against vaccinations? Or the post very ad that you quoted - should Disney be forced to advertise penis enlargement ads during a children’s show?
They do this one every couple months and it's pretty great; rather large community of people will play and rate different games. And you can do it from anywhere in the world, with any size team or tech.
I am talking about the basic user experience for my iTunes music, video and apps. Apple's "protection" of my account isn't better or stronger than other popular online services, such as, Facebook, Dropbox, or Gmail. I have more sensitive data in my Dropbox and Gmail accounts than Apple's. And yet I go through trouble each week to unlock my account. Why do I need to be troubled by it to get access to things I paid for?

So here is a real story why I complained about requiring a different email address than the primary one. So a few years ago my apple account got locked due to their extra "protection". I tried to reset my password. I was given two options: to recovery by email or answer secret questions. Unfortunately I no longer had access to my works email and my answers weren't matching. It took another year till I could remember the exact answer I entered at the beginning. Till then my hundreds dollar of digital goods were locked out.
I used to use Testing and that's your problem, not the idea of repos. Both Stable and, ironically, Unstable have far fewer hiccups than Testing.
It's not dumping because it's the primary market. Dumping is leveraging your primary market capacity to expand to another market. No one has ever successfully kept their prices low, drove out the competition, and then raised them.
I have a condition that can lead to pancreatitis, diabetes and usually involves digestive enzymes. I've successfully gotten off the digestive enzymes.

If you aren't already: I will suggest you keep a food and symptom journal, stay away from table salt (sea salt or kosher salt are both better) and figure out if you have trouble with specific oils. Symptoms can sometimes lag behind triggering events substantially. A journal can help you find patterns and make inferences.

I personally avoid peanut oil. It's very inflammatory and inflammation is has been linked to diabetes.
FB is certainly free to clean up once they get inquiries from media. Inaction would make attribution to the US more easy, thus any NSL forcing FB to cooperate is likely limited in scope to internal measures like scanning for fake accounts.
> The cloud-based HART system, which will house data on hundreds of millions of people...

Oh. No. Oh God, no.

> It will also allow the agency to look beyond the three types of biometric data it uses today—face, iris and fingerprint—to identify people through a variety of other characteristics, like palm prints, scars, tattoos, physical markings and even their voices

I'm not entirely sure about their general use of this data; if this is opt-in employee data, fair enough. Seems like a pretty big invasion of privacy to me though.

> But as the agency rolls out facial recognition technology across U.S. airports and increases the use of biometrics at the border, officials are finding themselves constrained by their legacy tech.

Oh. This is that data. We are storing private civilian data on-line.

> HART will be housed in Amazon Web Services’ GovCloud

This is somehow worse than I could have imagined.

> The phase-two solicitation also surveillists DNA-matching as a potential application of the HART system.

Getting worse.

> While the department doesn’t currently analyze DNA, officials on Wednesday announced they would start adding DNA collected from hundreds of thousands of detained migrants to the FBI’s criminal database.

Yep, there it is.

The government is changing the way it stores information it should not have, and putting the information on-line. On Amazon. And is using this data to surveil the American public and to profile immigrants. These former incapabilities weren't "holding them back" - they were keeping the hounds at bay.
And for the past two decades, the amount of viewing that has been done over the public airways has been declining precipitously. There are more ways to advertise than the networks.
Is there anybody here who actually uses these spaces? How do you justify the costs?

If I was an early investor in a company, and I learned that they were spending those sorts of amounts on office space, I would be furious.
Layman curiosity about mountains (for fictional worldbuilding):

Are they completely solid inside?

Or can they be "porous" with natural caves or holes internally?

How/why?
I've always been extremely skeptical of commercial real estate investment schemes based on the heuristic that the AM airwaves are full of advertisements for them.

WeWork has been outed as a fraud for months, probably longer [1]. But hey Adam Neumann proves the greater fool theory is still alive and well, so there's that.

Even so, people should be free to fuck themselves over. Removing the possibility for everyone just because you don’t trust users to take care of themselves is such a sad way of thinking.
Until reading the issue, I assumed it was the fork of PuTTY.

That's an absolutely terrible name.
> Because someone has to be held accountable for the tragedy, and since we can't hold politicians, or the gun manufacturers accountable for it, you find the next person in line.

What happened to holding the shooter responsible?
Reluctantly I have to admit my knowledge here is minimal, though I find it extremely interesting. And from another comment I recognized that though I was questioning whether the "soup" was liquid, I was still assuming that this reaction occurred on earth. If I remember correctly I believe all (or probably at least "most") of the basic elements do start out in their elemental form as the result of supernovae. I think this would be a relevant wikipedia article:

Apparently someone thought it valuable enough to "pirate", so you can see it yourself here, unfortunately minus the bolded 'q' and bad paper quality:

It's perplexing why someone would copy only the first 4 chapters --- and do it poorly --- but I suppose it's enough to sell; maybe they're not as rational as me, since if I were to plagiarize and sell books, a search/replace of the author's name would've been sufficient. No doubt whoever is doing this is expending more effort for an inferior product.

Amazon using doors as desks back in the day is in stark contrast to startups using WeWork space now.
Given the number of things that only run on an iPhone, I’m inclined to disagree.
You will be banned from Google for this, eventually. It's against both the spirit and the letter of Googles "law." I'm sorry.

It's clever, but you're far from the first to think of it and other, shadier, characters have ruined this game.

The problem is that it doesn't serve Google's users as well as it serves you. When I search for "Iowa Bankruptcy Firm," I expect to find firms in Iowa. Not firms in... Wherever you are.

> inexpensive healthy high protein

Most people don't know how much protein they should actually be eating [0]. And while they're focusing on "high protein" they fail to understand the need for "high fiber". The Western diet focused on proteins isn't doing us any good in the long run by using the majority of our farm land for feed crops. And then we've been told eating chicken [1] 7 days a week, twice a day is "healthy". What Canada did by boxing out big agriculture and regroup their dietary recommendations is impressive by making it evidence based and not lobbyist driven [2].

I'm curious how one is attracted to precision "chemically engineered" food. As I am gaining interest week by week in consuming foods in their most natural form, I want the opposite of what this article claims is "the future" (I'm a vegiterean too, it's not an animal VS impossible burger thing for me).

What am I missing here to be excited about a future of custom fermented food products?
You can add a “child” to your account and set it so you have to approve all purchases.
Lisp-like language interpreters in C#
There are an android version as well as a web app.
What you've assumed is mostly correct. Almost all the annotation-free tools look for violations like you described since that's what most people want. The correctness-oriented work starts with annotated code. The only other thing I know that works without annotations, but sort of similar, is creating the specs from example inputs and outputs. Then, the code can be analyzed against them.

What pro's often do, though, is prove the algorithm itself in a higher-level form that captures its intrinsic details, create an equivalent form in lower-level code, and prove the equivalence. That lets you deal with the fundamentals first. Then address whatever added complexity comes in from lower-level details and language semantics.
No I do not!
Yeah, debian nowadays is much better you should try sid or buster.
What are the stricter requirements?
I was going to pipe in and say the same thing. I'm a few provinces east of you.

I've heard the same thing about hearing aid prescriptions, CT (and similar) scans, and blood test results. In Canada they'll happily give you the results for your own records, but apparently some other countries don't provide it as a general right, leaving businesses to decide whether they want their competitors to be able to pick up work they initiated.

I think the difference is whether medical is private or public.
I never understood the desperate attempts to use XMPP, and the inevitable failure of EVERY attempt to run a popular messaging and/or presence application on it.

If you want to IoT, why not just use NATS or something?
Having worked closely with oil & gas I’d be curious how Regus would do without “that client”.
How Large Corporations Took over Single-Family Homes
I've definitely had big friends in the past who were always getting shit started with them, even just walking down the street between bars in a group they'd out of nowhere have a stranger single them out, shoulder them while walking past, and voila now there's a street fight.

But that's rather different, it's more about sport than crime. Half the time they'd become drinking buddies afterwards.

When desperate people are on the prowl for people to rob however, I don't believe it's typical for them to prefer tougher targets. My understanding is most thefts are opportunistic and unattended, which tells me there's obviously a preference for less resistance, not more.
Fab in India: India is trying to create an indigenous chip-making industry
A guilty conscience concerning global warming?

People who don't want to personally change their lifestyle seem to frequently look for "magic" solutions at the societal level, often overlooking logic fails in the scenario that is being painted. It's like they imagine if the whole world changes, then I don't have to. Or something.
Meh.

The hippies were right.

Eat food your grandmother would recognise.

Eat it as unprocessed as practical.

Eat a lot of it raw.

But I bet where people have no choice (in prison, public hospitals, schools, on food stamps...) it will become compulsory.
Immigrant-Visa Applicants Required to Show They Can Afford Health Care
"Because this is generally not secure."

Most OS's aren't designed to be that secure, though. That's why I wonder why it hasn't been tried more for usability. A security-focused setup certainly has more to be concerned about. Like I advocated with Xen, a good start would be making the host OpenBSD. They should be able to get hardware that would be compatible.
> Why would anybody use Western Union if they can send money through their Facebook for less or no fees?

Because Western Union accepts and delivers cash. Western Union exists for the much the same reason payday lenders exist--to service the cash economy.
It's not like it's an official term anyway. Use whatever grouping and weird abbreviation you want. Personally I vote for MANGO - Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Overstock. Or maybe ORANGE - Oracle, Rockwell, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Ebay.
Oh trust me they know, but their rockstar Red Hat infrastructure can take it! (and I believe there are legal complications in the UK for them to sell that otherwise public TV access abroad)
I really like the look of medieval villages. All the erratic roads, leaning houses, not a straight line anywhere. I sometimes wonder why a subdivision developer doesn't try to mimic that.
I don't see how one could rule it out, since we don't know the number of planets on which the conditions required for abiogenesis could have occurred. It's not limited to the # of planets in the volume of the universe observable from Earth.
While beef is an easy target, we are able to produce chicken at an incredibly low price per gram of protein.
Looking around I see examples like this everwhere, where the science seems to be rapidly advancing new approaches and techniques which will feed, cloth, transport, teach, and entertain billions of people in ways that are more economical and ecological.

Examples like these are why I'm convinced that environmental impact reduction and ultimately rejuvenation is possible without massively disrupting life as we know it.

It would be great if governments could better align taxes and incentives for the development and real-world deployment of these technologies, but they seems to be progressing quite well even in a maximally dysfunctional political environment.
> In TMAs you pretty much never ever get punched in the face, all the way to a black belt and smug feeling of superiority.

In my karate class, around the time I got my brown belt, we did an exercise where we'd kinda put a punch out and lean into a partner's face with our fists. Thankfully I had an older brother and I got punched in the face plenty as a kid... so rather than a smug feeling of superiority... I came away with the understanding that I was getting great exercise, flexibility, breath and balance training along with some easy-mode sparring practice. And to be fair my instructor was very clear about that too; he knew the limitations of our training and didn't want to see his kids getting chewed up in a street fight
I was in Zurich for a week. The public transit seemed effective, but the city was so pretty and walkable that I didn’t use it, with the exception of a small “polybahn” rail car that seemed to go up the hillside. I didn’t know where it went, but it was 2 bucks and seemed charming so I rode it. Turns out it just went up ~three flights of stairs worth of streets.
My understanding was that market share is: AWS > Azure > GCP > Alibaba
There will always be people that will be loyal.

You can see the propaganda/marketing clearly through their eyes.
I can see another use: if a phone could show a camera feed with directions overlaid on the street.
Another way is to look through binoculars, get them adjusted just right and then measure them. Don't try to measure center to center. Assuming the eye cups are the same measure from one side to the other (left edge of one to left edge of the other).
Context: The designs are based on RISC-V ISA (https://riscv.org). When India looks east, it sees Huawei, a Chinese tech giant, being cut off from American-made components as a result of the trade war. To the west, it sees its most talented engineers working in Silicon Valley. By pouring millions of dollars into Indian-made semiconductors, India’s government hopes to solve both problems at once.

It seems strange that all these streaming services are spending so much on advertising.
In my world, if you don't know whether an index is likely to be used, it indicates a lack of understanding of what your users are likely to be doing, and/or the nature of the data set. Yes, there are marginal use-cases, but overall, you should understand what most of your users/consumers are doing and optimise accordingly.
You've painted with a pretty broad brush here; a lot of this isn't true. I suppose "remotely interesting" is a matter of opinion, but I live in a suburb that has its own "downtwon" and other amenities, to include a performance art theatre, beautiful plaza with ping pong tables, big screen TV, outdoor pool tables, etc. It's really pretty awesome if you have kids. It's also a subrub that isn't hostile to people who don't own cars. It's entirely practical to get around by bicycle.

I guess the bottom line is: the hyperbole doesn't really serve your argument.
Corroborating ineedausername, Wikileaks seemed like they were unstoppable defying governments and all. Then, they said they were about to humiliate one of the U.S.'s most powerful banks. Then, Mastercard, Visa, and Paypal cut off all donations to them. Then, Wikileaks started dying off.

The government and card networks might do something similar. They could get SWIFT in on it, too, since they cooperate with governments and mostly profit from traditional banks.
I absolutely love this program! I am so grateful for it. I read voraciously, and could not educate myself without Calibre.

It would be very easy for the government to shut down Bitcoin:

- Shut down all bitcoin exchanges hosted in the United States

- Make it illegal for banks, credit unions, and other commercial financial institutions to allow their clients to make transactions with a crypto exchange (regardless of the countries where the exchange is hosted), or a blockchain

All of Verizon’s phones were locked down with their BREW OS and proprietary VCAST App Store. Even doing something as simple as loading your own ringtones required heavy workarounds and sometimes third party software.
