I must disagree, although I find what you are saying an important part of the defenses, and likely a larger issue in certain parts of the country and certain neighborhoods..

I think the gp is not 'absolutely not true'.. I have a fair amount of hobby interest experience dealing with petty thieves / criminals for the past couple decades; studying them locally and through polls and news articles... stories about locked up thieves admitting they will generally skip houses that have big dogs and security systems for example.

Certainly there are certain types of people to take into consideration from what you are mentioning, and petty criminals vary from locale to locale in significant ways sometimes. From what I understand places like frisco often have car hoppers busting out windows of cars on a regular basis, however in my area they generally only check for doors to be locked or unlocked when choosing to rummage through a car. A portion of the criminals around here will make an exception and bust a window if they see a purse or briefcase, but generally move on to the next without making too much noise, for example.

In most neighborhoods seeing someone crouched down playing with a door lock would attract attention and likely calls to the police. Kicking in a door would also create an amount of noise that brings attention the average criminal does not want to deal with.

Sure if a delivery person has seen you have a box of gold and sapphires next to the door (or notice your vintage guitar collection hanging on the walls while trick or treating) - they may target you with a door kick / other means of juice that is worth the squeeze..

but most of the thieves in my area will skip the locked houses and move to the next softer target. (often ringing the doorbell to see if anyone is home first)

I don't think most petty thieves are willing to learn lock-picking, even though it's easier to learn today than it was 20 years ago.. The added time it takes is not really worth it. (for most in most situations)

It's easier to find a neighbor that has a window air conditioner that can be pushed in with ease (at least around here, this technique in Minnesota may not be used as often)

The only place I can think of in regards to "establishes a particular legal status of the property behind the doors, with associated consequences for unlawful entry." would be Kennesaw, Ga - every person who lives there has a gun - there, the legal status of kicking in a locked door and it's associated consequences are proportionally different than most apartments in NY.

Some of the street thugs know that robbing with tools (that can be labeled burglary tools) carries an extra charge, just like robbing with a loaded gun is different time for the crime of stealing using threat of other force..

I do agree that certain situations / threats make "The additional, secondary role of a lock is being a trivial inconvenience. Not enough to deter a thief determined to rob your place, but enough for a thief determined to rob a place to skip yours and pick a different one." true - but that does not make the above statement absolutely not true.

I think you are both right.
Looks pretty neat. Would REALLY like CTRL-P and CTRL-N to work for up/down as is standard in OS X / most linux systems.
The new GitHub Sponsors program is great for donating to an open source author but it requires the author to sign up.
This plus the search pattern ("mowing the lawn") the ship is running in that area tells me that they're surveying the region accurately with sonar. There must be something on the bottom they want to find or build.

That's fairly near the location of Adria-1 submarine cable, so it's possible they are looking at something related to that.
Nano-Watt Computing – An Overview
There is a C ABI. The "x86-64 System V ABI" (the ABI for C on everything except Windows on an x86-64, ie a typical PC) was designed by AMD working with early adopters on Linux and other platforms. Here are several extant ABI documents:

https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI

The ABI for C needs to agree less stuff than a C++ ABI but it's still quite a lot of stuff, if these things don't get agreed then code won't work unless everybody uses the same (version of the) compiler.

The assessment is taking a long time because there are several TB of data on the filer

Is that a lot of data? That sounds like a very small filer that could have easily been backed up.
it is theoretically possible that a library like numpy or pandas could do this directly. That is, if you take each of these transformation operations and store them, but not actually run them until needed, that is, when someone accesses the individual array values, you only need to make one copy and there is no impact on the programmer to have to worry about this.

I was doing something similar for SQLAlchemy recently. SQLAlchemy is all about capturing Python operators and operands into data structures that represent intent which can be invoked later.

> It seems like further advances in this space either require giving the compiler a better understanding of what is "actually" shared

In the context of arrays, it helps when programmers use higher-order combinators/functions, e.g. maps.

There is a mutable way to do a map, and an immutable way, and which should be used in the compiled program depends on analysis of where the variable is used.
I use Lime scooters in SF. Too many scooters aren't fully charged in the morning near Market St - I wonder if the charging incentives are being slashed.

Separately, it makes sense that an additional cash infusion is unrealistic at this point. Post WeWork decimation, large D, E, F rounds will be increasingly difficult to close as we go through 2020. Profitability is the right move. Whether it's possible or not...

Best of luck to Lime.
Amiga did this in 1985. It's just that for compatibility reasons Apple couldn't do this. Even funnier: the fastest hardware to run old MacOS (68k version) on: an Amiga computer.
The other end should be you too?

Unless you intend for someone else to oversee your surveillance operation, your footage shouldn't leave your premises unless encrypted, using keys which don't leave your possession. You enter them out-of-band on the device on which you wish to watch remotely.

Is there some implied benefit to not encrypting end-to-end or are they just being lazy and using nothing more than TLS because security isn't really the goal?
You’re right about that value add, but it’s probably not a value add for anyone using an electric scooter as a daily means of transportation.

One of the biggest detractors is that you could ride a scooter to work and when you go to leave, realize the nearest scooter is half a mile away.
If more than 50% of personal computers have 1 or 0 users, then the median would be 1, assuming 0 users is less common than 1, regardless of how many users the remaining computers had.
Curious about this as well. When you query the servers of the registry [gandi, namecheap, godaddy] for a particular domain example.com, doesn't it update the one of the datetime fields for last queried?

Then again, the squatter would have to know what to search. Isn't it against rules for domain registrars to publish their recent query history [private or public]?

Any more light on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

That's the key reason. It's the same reason why Microsoft Teams is becoming popular. Because it's included in support packages that businesses already have from using Office 365, or the business already has a relationship with Microsoft.
> Microsoft shoehorns every little thing into their products

That's just how enterprise software works. It's not a Microsoft thing. It's an enterprise thing.

Consumer software often benefits from simplicity and elegance.

But for enterprise software, clients have hard requirements, so you provide the solutions they request.

There really isn't any choice to it. If you don't build it, they'll go with a competitor who will.

There truly isn't any other solution, unfortunately.

At best, you can spend more money trying to improve UX and interfaces. But when you have a set number of employees, and have to choose between improving the interface or building the features that will land another client, it's easy to see which choice gets made.
> Simply pointing out that other cities have a higher rate doesn't affect the criticism.

Sure it does. Houston has a higher vacancy rate, and much more affordable housing than San Francisco. This strongly suggests that the vacancy rate is a red herring.

This is certainly true for the hire bikes in London (scooters don't seem to have gotten permission for many areas yet).
It's important for people to acknowledge this. Governments have a strong incentive to ensure food is cheap because starving citizens revolt.

"You could imagine some hypothetical language in which all objects are immutable, as far as the programmer is concerned - however the compiler is allowed to reuse objects behind the scenes if there is provably no way that a side-effect could be introduced."

There are functional languages that do this. Like many other optimizations, you get less than your intuition might naturally expect, but it does work.

A trivial case is "tail call optimization", which most immediately involves not creating a literal in-memory stack record for recursive invocations but also can easily involve the compiler re-using the memory for the arguments. IIRC Erlang will do that as much as it can in tight recursive calls.

Totally agree with this. Lime bikes were garbage (I have not tried their newer redesigned ones, since I swore Lime off). I had a Lime bike literally snap in half at the joint where the handlebars connect to the riding platform WHILE I was riding it. It flung me forward in to the street. Luckily no traffic around. I contacted support and they offered to reimburse me
for the ride. No indication they were treating it seriously whatsoever. After that, I can't support Lime at all.

Sure, if the data is lost there isn't much that can be done to go back and fix it. However, the company response appears very dismissive/flippant which sends a bad message.

The tone any company hosting customer data should take in the event of data loss is along the lines of 'regretfully... we screwed up... unfortunately... steps we are taking to ensure this doesn't happen again...' i.e. the company should either be humble and apologetic or they should expect to lose a large chunk of their customers after something like this. This isn't merely to say the right thing, it is to demonstrate that they acknowledge this was their issue and something they need to fix going forward rather than a 'sucks to be you' customer issue. This is basic customer relations / crisis management stuff.

I actually really like the lime bikes. In my city lime is the only option with the E-assist and I see people riding them all the time.
Actually not. There is account recovery options that include a separate custom question and answer (password let’s say), and also the option of cloning it from another device as well. Those two different methods mitigate against SIM jacking.

It doesn’t really make sense to talk about “the same” photon because photons don’t really have identity. Even in a vacuum you can send a photon in one end and see one on the other and not really know that the one going in was “the same” as the one going out. It can turn into other particles on its way and then recombine into a photon and there is no way to know this based on the observation that a photon came out of the end of your vacuum.
Id suspect its the disconnect between wealth and reality. At the end of the day the VC only sees what the VC wants to see. in this case a verdant world of the futuristic e-scooter where each is powered by the fantastic internet technology of the smartphone and destined to enrich and engage the lives of millions while forging a new path in e-commerce that will surely reward the diligent shareholder.

unforeseen is the army of charging slaves that patrol the city at 4 AM for a few extra dollars at their own expense. E-scooters launched through shop windows and into streets after bars close. The Litigation prompted from both governments endless frustration with this new corporate detritus littering the public sidewalk, and citizens facing ugly medical expenses after the sobering reality that cars in the United States are still far more prevalent, careless, and lethal than any chinese internet scooter.
I'm curious, was there a specific scooter that was yours? Or you just paid $25/mo for unlimited rides?

I don't remember welcoming them, so much as they proliferated over the course of a few months. They were so "popular" that they were being left all over the place to the point where it was widely regarded as hazardous.

All of what you said is perfectly valid. That being said, I think it's probable that if we perfectly enforced traffic laws, two things would happen:

1. People would start to build in tolerances instead. The speed limit is 35? Ok, I'll drive between 25 and 30. People would not just say, "Welp, I guess I'm gonna get $200 tickets constantly!" There would be a (very) short adjustment period, and then people would just treat limits as the actual limits.

2. The limits would be changed to actually reflect the unsafe limit.

I don't think either of these are bad outcomes. In fact, I think the world where we perfectly enforce the law and also adjust the law to reflect the actual needs of the citizens is far better than the one we live in today. It is a much better world than the one in which certain real crimes go unpunished due to privacy, all other things being equal.
Relevant information:

>"Facebook does not have a policy that bans advertising on the basis that it expresses opposition to vaccines," a Facebook spokesperson said. "Our policy is to ban ads containing vaccine misinformation."

The ad Buzzfeed thinks is in violation:

>One ad reads, “Is the vaccine the best option? And if not, what is?” Another says, “Click below for a FREE guide for Pertussis which will include: Vaccine Controversy.”

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. The ad doesn't contain misinformation, merely opposition. Somehow I can't help but feel like we're sliding down the slippery slope though.
What I mean when I say by 'know npm/yarn' is that you have to know the internals, how they operate, and why they break. You have to debug npm/yarn themselves. That's not something one should know to build anything on the frontend. In many years with other languages' dependency tools like PHP's composer and Clojure's leiningen, I've had to deal with dependency and internal package manager issues maybe once or twice and that's being generous as I really don't remember any times. So do I think the JS tools are shitty? They are shitty beyond all fucking imagination and comparing them to tools in other languages can objectively prove that by simply looking at the number of times and the way these tools break vs. the tools that don't break. I wouldn't be so adamant about it except I spend more time (as I'm sure many here do) dealing with breakages in npm and yarn than in any other system related deployment task. And the insanity of it is that this isn't even application code. It just concats some files and runs them through a few code processors like babel and scss. That's fucking insanely bad tooling.

As far as webpack, I understand that it's a jack of all trades. But if even trying to replicate a simple bundling config takes many days, then it's a perfect example of a tool that's not only overly complex, but one that doesn't do its own core job well.
The only reason you had to explain it was sarcasm is of course you should care. You sound like one of those "I have nothing to hide" people even though having something to hide is completely irrelevant. You're being spied on and you don't see any problems with that? And by the way, everyone has something to hide whether they know it or not.
True in that case as that has nothing to do with the password manager. Any password that you would type in manually is also vulnerable.
Rust would be very different and the problem wouldn't exist in the first place, because the function would signal its behaviour and intent through taking the parameter by reference, mutable reference or value.

There's a specific benefit to cylindrical shapes, despite the increased surface area to volume ratio, which is the availability of vertical thermal stratification: water at the bottom of the tank is as low as ~2C, whilst at the top may be 50-60C (or higher). A diffuser inlet allows entering (warmed) water to settle at any level at which it is in equilibrium, without stirring. Water to be heated is drawn from the bottom of the tank. Thermal extraction through heat exchangers at the top.

The entire tank is packed within gobs of insulation. Cheap bulk insulation, rather than vacuum insulation, is effective, and additional volume accomplishes what the more expensive though thinner alternative delivers.

> The world will never become carbon neutral with PV and wind turbines.

That's your assumption. Fact is: currently only renewable has a chance to make an actual impact for the next 30 years.

> that renewables projects can be astonishingly expensive

That was long ago and in the case of German offshore the reason was that the technology was challenging (because of deep and rough water in the North Sea) and needed to be developed and deployed. Today scaling it is a bit easier and more cost effective. Solar (PV) was also expensive in the first years, but it was always clear that mass-production would bring prices down.

> the reason there's no nuclear research has nothing

There is nuclear research.

> you insist that there should be no investment in new nuclear tech because old tech

No, I insist that there is no need to invest in DEPLOYMENT of nuclear, because the current nuclear has been proven to be a dead end.

> insist we should invest in new renewables even if they are more expensive and don't scale as well as fossil

No I insist to invest in renewables, because they are the cheapest and fastest way to REPLACE fossil.

> And scary-nuclear-label aside, nuclear tech always showed a lot of promise, if only people like you didn't shoot it in the foot and then whined that it's limping.

Nuclear has totally shown its own failure: remember Russia? Worst security. Remember Japan? Fully nuclear. One event took out ALL reactors. Remember the US? No expansion of Nuclear despite having all the technology in the last 30 years. Remember France? A single reactor under construction in last 20 years. Late and cost explosion. 70 years and no storage solution. 70 years and the cost building them is increasing. In the US, in France, ... in core nuclear power countries.
