This seems like a trivial problem for law enforcement to honeypot. You wouldn't even need to actively monitor. Just get an alert when the devices start moving and dispatch officers to track them down.

If thieves start getting clever and putting the stolen goods in a Faraday cage, then add a camera to monitor and capture faces/plates. Hell, add hidden cameras to all major trailheads and don't even bother with the honeypot.

Obviously, there's funding and expertise issues with a solution like this. But is it really that significant or just law enforcement complacency?
> I would expect a manager with an engineering degree to be more likely to understand the absurdity and danger of building passenger aircraft with missing tools and incorrect instructions, red flag such issues, and push back deadlines to resolve them.

You don't need to be an engineer to do any of these things. You really just need to ask questions to people who understand the details and listen to them. A good manager will know the right people to ask these questions to and follow their advice. Good management is not an easy skill however.

> Anecdotal: When I went to undergrad, all of the student advisors were tenured faculty members doing it as part of their job responsibilities.

Not a fan of electron at all. But I think it points out the direction for the future of gui. There's a whole generation of new languages (rust, go, dart, D, ...) that wants to get into the gui-space and finding QT and GTK problematic. QT is known for "using every C++ feature", making it less than ideal for bindings. GTK is not very cross platform I think, and is criticized for beeing gnome-centric. Both toolkits are object-oriented, making them a poor fit for any language that is not. Something like mozilla's webrender could be used in a more language agnostic way (declerative, reactive), while having the support required for the gargantuan task of a graphics/toolkit backend.
I think you’re right. I think Helvering v. Davis was the mortal blow that enabled further expansion of federal government beyond, as Founders intended, the Enumerated Powers, but the Wickard v. Filburn was indeed coup the grace.
I'm normally not sympathetic toward Facebook, but if the US Senate tries to mess with encryption I hope Zuckerberg permabans every elected official in the US from Facebook, from the POTUS on down to the Board of Education in Butt Pimple, Alaska. Authorities are too used to being able to spy on electronic communications, they keep using the same excuses (child molesters and terrorism), and I'm getting sick of it.

The standard ought to be "judicial warrant or GTFO". IIRC, that's how it is for paper mail, and I think that's how it should be for all other communications.

I like OpenLayers. We built a rather complex image annotation tool around it and OpenLayers worked well with all the features we added over the years, recently even a full-blown video annotation tool. The community is nice and active, too. Best of all: It's still compatible with our old school way of JS development. The only thing I'm missing is the API documentation of older versions which they seem to have dropped at some point.
You are right, but until now it was mostly safe to leave electronics hidden well enough.

For instance when on duty, it is very convenient to just keep a laptop buried in the trunk and go shopping or do anything you want as long as you can get back to the car fast enough.

Now I guess shutdown routines will be needed.

Also as long as US education remains a strongly positional good — that the value of your education continues to be mostly dependent on where your university sits in the pecking order, rather than on some absolute value (e.g. of the knowledge you actually learn).

With a positional good, demand can never be really satisfied, because everyone always wants something further up the chain, so prices expand to whatever people can possibly pay.
Which is why I don't allow any of that garbage in my house.
What's worse is that the upcoming MCAS fix is not a fix. If one sensor is misbehaving (seemingly more common than desirable) then pitch-up will not be automatically corrected:

"Boeing specifically highlighted in presentation documents the new MCAS compares inputs from two angle of attack (AOA) sensors as opposed to a single sensor in the original, flawed, design. MCAS will only activate if data from both sensors agree the AOA is too high. MCAS will activate only once per high AOA event. Pilots will be able to override it and the system will not activate automatically a second time. In the original design, the system reactivated over and over. The presentation reiterates the crew can deactivate MCAS by turning off the automatic trim system and manually turning the trim wheel."

I've always enjoyed the concept of exponential costs for incremental gains. I've had the benefit of only really utilizing them in strong-identity systems (games) but I've considered some of the drawbacks of using them in weak-identity systems and come to a few ideas:

1) A participation barrier can be used to prevent identities from participating until they've overcome something. A simple example would be an age barrier (identity must exist for some period of time before participating) which prevents spinning up multiple identities on-demand to try to increase voting power. Ideally, in practice there would be multiple barriers that would be naturally-occurring for a real participating identity but too expensive to create/maintain several identities.

2) Similar to (1), have an ongoing cost to maintaining identities. Something such as a "subscription fee" may serve as a deterrent as the value of one identity needs to be weighed against the cost of maintaining it. This can be made additionally effective if the issue being voted on recurs every period rather than one-time (i.e. revisiting regulation votes every cycle instead of just voting once and having the regulation remain until stricken). For the normal participant, the value of this subscription could be offset by access to a non-scaling benefit - i.e. access to private content/events.

3) While the article focuses on the economics in terms of dollars there's the very real question of allowing votes to be purchased with other forms of currency that either complement or replace traditional currency. This is common in MMOs where you can have multiple characters (weak identities) each with their own in-game currency that can be acquired from in-game activities and may or may not be exchanged with real-world currency depending on the stance the owners of the game take.

Suffice it to say there aren't really silver bullets to "general purpose quadratic payments with weak identities" but you could create some limited-purpose constraints that are particular to the problem/community and make some strides from there.

This is both true and false. In 2013, MC and Visa agreed in a settlement that they could not prohibit merchants from imposing a surcharge on credit card customers.

However, 10 states prohibit such surcharges, including CA, NY, FL, MA, and TX...i.e., the states with most CC transactions.
Your facial features don't change after you do a crime (except maybe for some new prison tats). They don't need to change to keep criminal classification from head shots.

Age, race, gender, income, attractiveness, testosterone levels, gang membership, attention to grooming, addiction, etc. are all predictive of crime, and part of the face picture you use.

Sure, there is some bias in how you label a criminal (convicted of a crime, self-report, etc.), but prediction is possible (without exploiting leakage like smiles or lighting).

Just from a hot-or-not rating I can make an educated guess of your conviction rate and sentencing length.

I would oppose a cartel of companies acting in a way that extracts too much money from consumers. We have a whole area of law for dealing with this. Unions are a cartel of employees who use the threat of financial harm to limit the freedom of employers and individual workers from freely entering into mutually beneficial work arrangements. I think this is justified if the purpose is to prevent employers from exploiting workers. I don't think it's justified if their sole purpose is to use power to extract more value from the employer.

I think of it like streams vs strings. When you are writing a one-off script, reading an entire file into a string in memory is fine. When you are writing a library and need to handle files in the wild, you are going to read the file in chunks and process them as a stream. Generators are like streams for iterables. You don't usually write code that manually builds streams. Likewise, you generally will not write generators that manually yield values. The standard library will provide a collection of tools that make the operations you were already performing on collections more memory efficient by using generators to avoid intermediate buffers.
I suspect you also need to have "Power Nap" enabled.

Funny part is that all these extra administrators don’t actually help out the faculty much.

Thirty years ago, most senior professors had secretaries, but now secretaries are almost unheard of. Individual professors wind up spending most of their time on ridiculous administrivia required to keep their grants.

If an administrator sticks his or her head into a profrssor’s life, it’s to make it harder, not easier.

"Over the previous six months, Jobs had kept in contact with some of the senior staff in the Macintosh division, even after Gassée took control. Five of these staffers agreed to become cofounders of the new company with Jobs. Chief among these were Bud Tribble, Susan Barnes, and Dan’l Lewin." [1]

"After several months of being sidelined, Jobs resigned from Apple on September 13, 1985. He told the board he was leaving to set up a new computer company, and that he would be taking several Apple employees from the SuperMicro division with him." [2]

He also intended on licensing the tech to Apple, according to those sources.

Isn't it time to consider writing a new Constitution then?

Maybe, but it’s not going to happen. Once the politicians understood that all they need is to put enough of their guys on the Supreme Court, any incentive to change how the country works through changes in constitution is gone: why would you go through all that hassle, if all you need to do is invoke the magical spells of General Welfare and Interstate Commerce, and it all through federal law?
Exactly! Set up those constraints such that a light hard wired into the power for a sensor such that if the sensor has power, the light has power too.
An effective manager would step in when needed and stay out of the way when not. They would communicate clearly in a high level in an inspiring manner and a low enough level to act upon. They would have to anticipate the direction and needs of the business as well as the employee. They would have to balance the strengths, weaknesses and desires of wholly different individuals in a productively meaningful way.

Would I be wrong in saying that almost all people cannot do two of these let alone all at the same time?
"The business of a company is profit. Period"

This is absolutely not true. Only a narrow sect of Chicago-school types etc. really believes this.

The purpose of a company is whatever the powers that be deem it to be.

A company is made up of forces: Investors/Financiers, Executives, Employees, Customers and Suppliers.

Each of those entities can have tremendous influence over the company to the point wherein the might even control it.

For example, Unions wield incredibly power over the auto industry. It exists for them as much as it does for investors. Same for government.

Most good companies have de-facto communitarian intentions far beyond the product and act as responsible members of the community in most regards.

Corporate America today could probably lay off 1/3 of white collar workers without skipping a beat, but they don't - they're not as cold as you may imagine.

Most established companies are 'gears in a bigger picture' and are mostly operational, not innovative, by that I mean they just have to 'keep doing what they are doing' to survive. It's rare that they have new ideas or modalities, that's generally the advantage of new companies. New companies have to 'fight for profit' at the start, so as to find their way into the gears of the economy at which point they have a special leverage/power, but a kind of responsibility as well.
They can. See linear hashing and extensible hashing.
I'm not sure why you are stating these things like they are facts. These are still just allegations that Apple has put forth.

> He started the company to sell tech he developed at Apple, back to Apple.

If this is so clear cut, Apple will have a lot easier time in court. On the contrary, this is exactly what Apple needs to prove in this case.
> A worker without a union is like a defendant without a lawyer.

That's a bad analogy. Defendants cannot avoid a hearing. Employees can just get another job. Starting businesses is hard. It entails a lot of risk. Risk that was never taken by employees. And employees are not bound to the fortunes of the company the way owners are. If the company loses money or goes belly-up, the employees get new jobs. But the owners must simply bear the loss.

Plundervolt: Software-Based Fault Injection Attacks Against Intel SGX [pdf]
The data given does not support their premise.

“Three decades later... administrative spending made up 24% of schools’ total expenditures”

Even if admin costs where zero in the 1980’s they went up far more than 24% over the next 30 years. What happened is fewer classes are taught by full time professors which was a minor cost savings.

One of these costs was a massive influx of new students required a huge increase in facilities. Another was the need for websites, computers, and networking infrastructure to keep up with the competition. Collages did not benefit from the computer revolution because few things could be automated and they suddenly needed websites, and networking in the student dorms etc.

I'm not sure about Arduino specifically, but 8-bit usually refers to memory bus width, not the register size. IIRC Arduino has 16-bit registers? So I'd expect it to have a 16-bit int.

And depending on the exact expression, it doesn't have to actually do anything differently - these integer conversions describe the expected result of the operation, not how it's performed in assembly. So when you write something like this:

char a, b, c;
...
a = b + c

the spec requires that b+c is treated as an int addition, but the resulting int is then assigned to a char variable, which basically truncates it. Furthermore, if b+c is larger than can fit in a char, then we have signed overflow (assuming that char is signed, which is usually the case), which is undefined behavior. Altogether, this means that the compiler can actually do an 8-bit addition here while remaining within the bounds of the spec.

OTOH if the result is assigned to an int variable, then yeah, it'd have to promote them - but that would also be far less surprising to you than if it didn't, no?

Where this can potentially lead to more overhead than you'd expect is use of the temporary as input to another subexpresion. E.g. suppose we have this:

a = (b + c) / 2

Suppose b is 200 and c is 100. The spec requires that the result of this operation is 150, because b+c is performed on ints, and thus won't overflow. If it were an 8-bit addition of signed chars, assuming the typical wraparound behavior on overflow, you'd get 22.
A base model isn't the best investment, and the only thing that really makes it special is the vega II and afterburner cards which pushes the build to the $11-13k range. That's a lot of money for a rig without a monitor or storage.
