In pretty much every state if the officer had probable cause to pull you over and you refuse to take a breathalyzer they can arrest you.

However an officer can't just demand you take the breathalyzer without probable cause. (DUI checkpoints are an exception to the requirement for probable cause.)
Right wingers haven't trusted media for a long time.

Every anti-Trump segment on CNN, NYT, MSNBC is just free advertising for him.

That doesn't work so well for a left-wing candidate. Too many on that side still have faith in accredited officialdom.
Cost and price are not directly tied. As long as price is greater than cost, the product will exist, and the incentives exist to drive cost down to make more money (since raising prices may cost sales, it's a less reliable way of increasing profit).
> I wouldn't consider those to be matters affecting your life, career or business. They're really just interacting the news, like a hobby.

Knowing enough to vote sensibly is a duty of a citizen. It has a direct impact on everybody’s life in a more or less diffuse way, and for many people it is a matter of life and death. You’re right though that the direct benefit to an individual’s life is on average not significant, in most cases the time could be more profitably spent on developing yourself or those around you. Although that assumes that everyone else does their duty and maintains a reasonable political environment for those opting out to live in. It’s a tragedy of the commons, individuals acting purely in their interests will over time destroy the common space, unless we impose on ourselves and others a duty to maintain it.
It seems you would want a hosted git installation like github / gitlab or VSO for that. The main concern to me is that API keys are usually too limiting (or too expensive). E.g. if you don't want to manage local state by having a working directory you need to do many API calls to make a change (create the objects, create the trees, then create the commit, then change the ref) so that it is almost more worthwhile to use the same data structure on a more generic backend like a NoSQL key-value store. I haven't done this though (though it's been on my wish list for long).

What it also doesn't give you for free is sensible search indexes. I do think though that combining it with a search index could be very powerful.

This! I also consult and have been to quite a few companies. Often I find that the most assertive person is who gets the ideas/perspectives pushed through, not necessarily the most competent. Sometimes the confidence comes from experience and usually that leads to ok decision making. Other times not so much.

> My question is is better for innovation if two companies have equal market share or if one has a smaller market share?

If that's your question, then the answer is obvious, isn't it? The higher the potential reward, the more motivation to innovate. If you only control 1% of the market, innovating might easily mean a 1000% growth of your company; but if you already own half, the best you can possibly do is double that. The upside just isn't there to justify big, risky plays.

That said, there is always a desire to grow, even if not by as much, so there is still incentive to not become stagnant and to continue making improvements to your products, even if marginal.
The Svelte framework is something that's pretty close to being truly reactive. Not functional though.
It’s still possible for it to be a problem. Human skills aren’t entirely fungible. If technological disruption continues to increase in pace then we may reach a point where people’s education becomes obsolete before they even finish their degrees.

We could see large scale technological unemployment despite a shortage of labour in a set of ever-changing, highly specialized fields that people only end up in by an extremely lucky guess at the time they declare a major.
Source separation of speech and speech denoising is a well established field, more researched in general than music source separation. Intelligence officers very likely have access to a range of well-performing ML tools for extracting speech.

The Horizons of Instrument Design: A Conversation with Don Buchla (1982)
While no doubt a lot of corruption is going on in countries like hungary or bulgaria, CAP subsidies were always used by politicians as a political carrot. That's why greece (the largest per capita subsidy recipient until recently) ends up still having ~13% farming population which produces very little. The system was always easy to game and there was too little regard for where the money is going. People would claim ownership of land that didn't exist, to the point where entire towns had to be moved on the map, because there just wasn't enough land to fit. Farm subsidies ended up being free vote subsidies for every politician, left and right.

The situation is not much different with other types of subsidies tbh. Economies are becoming too dependent on EU funding, and businesses adapt by creating a facade of productivity, in order to attract more and more EU funding. This is unsustainable and will not end well of course. But, considering how many votes are contingent to it, everyone pretends to look away.

How is this related to religion?

What puzzled me about that quote was why it was a “privilege” to learn something new. It would seem that anyone can do that, unless perhaps if you are desperately poor and living hand to mouth.
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure they need probable cause in IN to compel you to take a breathalyzer. This is usually established with a field sobriety test. Source: cops I've talked to in IN, who may or may not be right.
Indeed, or teach yourself to code while getting a degree in virtually anything interesting. If you've committed yourself to attending college and getting a 4 year degree for reasons good or bad, why does it have to be CS? How about physics, or math, or poetry? Use the 4 years to get "domain knowledge" or even just to develop a rewarding hobby that gets you through the days when programming seems like the pits.

I learned to code while in high school (in 1981), and had summer internships in a computer facility. My mom was teaching CS at an extension campus of a state university at the time. She was the one who didn't think a CS degree was necessary for becoming a programmer. Her students were getting good jobs after 1 year in her class. And the programming work that I observed at my internships seemed like it would be ultimately boring.

So I went to a liberal arts college and got a double major in math and physics. At the college, it seemed like the people doing "cool" things with computers, were in the physics department. I kept learning more about programming, and also taught myself electronics. And then I went to grad school in physics. Granted, this was all before the Interwebz.

A lot of people whom I've worked with over the years were programmers with degrees from all over the place: Natural science, philosophy, music, and so forth. The programmers with non-traditional backgrounds tend to be happy to be earning more than they were in their original fields, but also tend to do non-traditional work. At my workplace, any job involving math goes to a handful of "math people" who happen to have math or physical science degrees.

Survivor Bias Alert: I can't say that I discovered a magical career formula. Many of you are vastly richer than me. I'm reminded of the saying: "You go to war with the army you've got." I don't know if I can ever be self disciplined enough to sit in front of a programming screen all day. I do a great deal of programming, but my background allows me to do enough non-programming to keep me from losing my sanity. And my interest in electronics supports a fairly rewarding side-business.

Becoming a programmer at age 19 isn't a panacea. My friends who did that, many of them were swept into the vortex of alcohol and consumer debt. A couple didn't survive. For some, going to college is a way to break away from their hometown culture, and try a new life.

On the contrary, most small towns (I have lived in) have much finer grained community support networks, many ad-hoc, that can provide better quality of life. This is however highly dependent on your local community. However it is never too late to start something. I find if there is a need, there is a huge untapped well of hands-on support you just don't find in urban environments. The fact that people still know their neighbors is a huge enabler and stimulus of compassion and support.
Well, if you get another job based on the same skills, that isn’t really “branching out”.
If Google Fonts serves Roboto with cache-sharing true that is unlikely to leak any data. Sure, you can detect that I at some point visited some site that uses Roboto, but that's vague enough to be useless.

There is some potential for leakage with uncommon assets. Maybe only a handful of websites use JQuery 1.2.65 or Helvetiroma Slab in font weight 100. It's a less severe vector than just testing if someforum.example/admin.css is cached, but still it's leaking data. The CDN could mitigate that by only sending a cache-sharable header on sufficiently popular assets, but depending on others going out of their way to preserve privacy is probably a bad idea.
I had to learn all that stuff, and it has been nearly 20 years since I took many of those classes. Except for the database design, which I use regularly, I've forgotten it all. Which is really frustrating, because I put a lot of time, effort and money into learning that stuff.

The other day one of our network guys asked me what a Red-Black Tree is. I couldn't explain it. I got an A in my algorithms and data structures class, but I haven't used it so I forgot it.
Partially true.. used to be that fealty to working class unions and such was pretty sacrosanct.

Blue bloods were always threatened by it of course, but they used to be split between liberals and northeastern Republicans.

I’m not in the 1%, not even close. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly though, even the wealthiest. I don’t think a wealth tax, specifically, is fair. Increased taxation of actual money would be.
It’s impact energy would be similar to that of a bullet. The penetration power would be relatively high though due to its small size and extremely high velocity. Of course as the size of the particle goes up the impact energy goes up too. A pebble the size of a fingernail would be pretty bad news at about a million times the energy and many of them will be mostly iron.
Alternately I wonder if you could exploit these for propulsion or gravity assist somehow? A lot of the "interstellar travel is almost impossible" calculations rely on interstellar space modeled as an absolute void and thus requiring you to carry all fuel and all propellant.

Of course these calculations also tend not to consider staging, just like the "reaching the moon is impossible" calculations prior to Apollo.
The ROOT PROBLEM comes from the insight that I've seen.

The GOOD NEWS: The healthy part of our economy:

* GDP grows 5.5% YoY (Yay! for population and productity growth)

* US Government revenues grow 5.5% YoY

THE PROBLEM:

* US National Debt increases 8.5% YoY (average over the last 40 years)

* US Money printing increases 8.5% YoY (averaged over the last 40 years. by Monetary base)

8.5% problem increases YoY > 5.5% growth of health

Almost, but what if I'm uncomfortable with Medium having my real name and profile pic (which Google's SSO will share)?

I'd imagine Medium would offer "authentication through X", and I can either enter my id for X, or go to the X app and generate a new ID for use for Medium, and paste it on Medium. So next time I want to login to Medium, after entering my username, Medium's backend talks to X's backend (saying user with this ID wishes to login) X can prompt me on one of my devices. Medium can display a unique number on their page for me, and I can compare that to the number my X app is showing me to confirm it's me I'm letting myself in.

This is a 1 minute concept without considering creative ways it can be attacked. But I guess there wouldn't be any money to be made...

This is not about responsibility or morale, but just about the pure economics of life.
I don't think so. Because now TSMC has the highest transistor density. It is more that Intel fumbled 10nm so badly that others have passed them. Intel's 7nm had better be good and timely or they're in some serious trouble. TSMC's 5nm is starting early next year and with 1.84x scaling.
This is a very poorly reasoned perspective. Case in point, I have a CS degree background (from a top school) and think it was completely useless in terms of my career. I got my first job through a random connection and from then on my experience and practical skills have gotten me work.

Also, even though I've worked for various "top" companies, I've never once had to write my own binary tree, hashmap, Dijkstras search, etc etc. Note, I also think FAANG style interviews are a waste of time too, which is why at my current company I make all applicants do a take home test which is analogous to the kind of work they will be doing if they get the job.

What we need is an inheritance tax on all of the wealth that people didn’t work for. Unearned wealth in the form of real estate and capital appreciation.

You mean in that case they arrest you. Chances are if you've been drinking that a breath test will incriminate you. If you choose to skip a breath test you leave the cops with a choice to arrest you or let you go, if they pulled you over then they probably would feel the need to arrest you. Which means that you'll be getting a blood test at the station. A blood test at the station may or may not be the best choice depending on how much you had to drink and when. If you just had some shots and immediately get pulled over you may be more intoxicated for the blood test. If you stopped drinking a while ago then delaying to the blood test could help you look less intoxicated. The idea is that you want to choose based on what is best in your current situation. Its best not to drive under the influence and avoid the situation entirely.

This is quite poor article, which you can grasp after reading it. Few examples:

* quote: "generates ___something___ referred to as the exchange hash H" - in article which tries to sound technical and in fact in some parts goes into much details, this ___something___ is really funny :)

* copy pasta description of forward secrecy, wrongly explaining why it is forwardly secure

* wrong chain of events with lack of important diagram, while adding boilerplate :(

p.s. amount of upvotes shows these days a lot of us click up before reading _whole_ article.
In our case its quite simple. All commits should be tested and if we need to roll back, it means either that tests have failed and it was pushed nonetheless, tests were missing or tests didn't catch the issue.

In the first two cases, we revert to the commit where untested or failed code was introduced to the master. This basically never happens. In the third case, you need to do some debugging and try to figure out why it's broken and either fix it or revert it. Basically just look at the git history. If the code has dependencies then you might need to do code triage and produce a hotfix. If it's a relatively isolated piece, then just revert and fix it at a better time.

We use semver and gitlab's tags so we know just by the versioning if the code that is broken is important or not and if we can roll back.

Nothing in this article pertains specifically to a CS degree -- time management, communication, and networking are all skills that would be picked up by any college degree, and would arguably be stressed even more heavily in a, say, liberal arts degree.

Perhaps the author would be even more in favor of a history degree and teaching yourself how to code than a CS degree.
