Never seen the movies but in the book Michael absolutely could have gotten out. He chose not to because his honor would not suffer the insult to his family that occurred. He might have done differently if he hadn’t been in New York when the attack happened and the discussion over retaliation was going on. He was assumed to be on the outside. Sonny was in the family business. I don’t recall if Fredo was but Michael was thinking of becoming a professor and moving far from New York and the family.
An artificial scarcity created by the fact the government controls most of the land...

We should be demanding the government cede control of the land, instead of pleading for the government to give us a smidgen of what it does not rightfully possess!
So, all of a sudden large numbers of people (among them some, like a helicopter pilot, with presumably much greater than average experience in noting different kinds of aerial phenomena) start misidentifying the stars or suffering mass hysteria or whatnot for the first time in their lives in a single concentrated space of time over a fairly specific geographical area? I'm sorry, that sounds even less plausible than them having actually seen something unusual. This is not to say that they witnessed actual UFOs or literal phantom drones but it still doesn't seem to add up to believable in the way the government report tries to paint it.

That’s not price shaming, that’s just a review of something you bought that turned out to be a ripoff.

It’s a good thing if consumers talk about getting ripped off, whether it’s at a fast food joint or a big enterprise contract.

It's hard to avoid subvocalizing when you're thinking about avoiding it. It's like not thinking about the pink elephant.

I feel like that experiment would be easy to contaminate..

Sometimes if I'm stuck in speech/subvocalizing mode it can take awhile to get out of it.

I think the easiest way to tell if I'm subvocalizing or not by checking my current reading speed. Subvocalizing can slow things down.

Also I think I'm more liable to subvocalize during fiction, with lots of dialogue involved. Acting out the characters in my head slightly.

Verbalizing your thought process is invaluable for validating that what you are doing/thinking actually makes sense. For developers, just think about all the times you have started explaining some code problem to a colleague, and instantly come upon the solution, simply by verbalizing ideas. The other person doesn't even have to say anything. There is even the concept of 'rubberduck debugging', where you explain things to a rubber duck, and it helps solve the problem.

I have often thought about what the experience would be of living entirely without verbalized thoughts. Like, obviously ideas and concepts exist separately from their verbal representations, so skipping words would be a more pure and effective form of thinking, right? But lately I have come to the belief that words are a necessary scaffold for organizing more complex ideas. Without them, I think we would simply be unable to put together complex enough models to understand things at the level we need to function in our complicated world. Like making diagrams helps with analysing domains.

It is proven that lack of verbal stimulation leads to slower develoment in children, possibly for the same reason. I think it is also the mechanism by which people who spend a lot of time alone (think castaways) eventually go insane - due to the lack of an external validation mechanism.

This understanding would seem to indicate that people who don't have an internal monologue would be less capable of expressing/understanding complex ideas. I would be very interested in knowing if that is the case.

If you can, I'd encourage you to find the care providers you need.

One friend moved to become a patient of the #2 Lyme disease specialist.

Another moved to become enrolled in a clinical trial. He was proclaimed terminal and went doctor shopping. (Still alive today.)

I've stayed anchored in my house for decades because I won't risk leaving my care providers (SCCA, FHCRC). I've had terrible experiences with noob doctors. As in life threatening.

I now better understand how doctors think. Recurring rounds of 20 questions time boxed to 15 minutes. Hopefully they've seen your condition before. If not, oops, too bad, out of time, take two aspirin and call me in the morning. Next!

YMMV.

Yes, land is exclusionary but there is plenty of it in the US. People in California just don’t want to live there.

The government also has to fund services to everyone who works there whether or not they own land. Do devices cost more to home owners based on the value of their land?

I thought the purpose of tax was to fund the government. Not to take stuff that other people wanted.....
They have both hammers and phone books, I'm sure.
And if the government can “grant” you something they can take it away as well.

It also has the quality of creating dependency on a government and their ability to deliver and or their ability to dictate conditions.
Inside one of the plugins I found this code:

def setup(self, sfc, userOpts=dict()):
self.sf = sfc
self.results = self.tempStorage()

for opt in list(userOpts.keys()):
self.opts[opt] = userOpts[opt]

And I'm left wondering... Since the class that implements this method has a opts dictionary that is a class attribute, why didn't the author write a simple self.opts.update(userOpts) that takes care of it? It does exactly the same thing, is faster and clearer.

That in itself made me lose a lose a lot of the interest I had in this project. I'll still pass it around to a few colleagues that work in infosec to see what they think of the tool from a practical point of view.

I'm also a bit confused that the authors says it's Python 3, but there are a lot of idioms around that point a 2/3 compatibility. I can understand that the project might have started with a 2/3 mentality, and then progressed. However, some of this idioms not only affect readability but can introduce side effects (anywhere from annoyances to bugs).

Race has nothing to do with it.

Rather the question is, does importing radically different cultures, and low skilled labor bear a cost on the welfare state.

This is a cost that is probably acceptable, and necessary, but we should keep an eye on the practical limits.

Norway has far more money to spend, and Finland has far lower foreign cultural migration, so they don't make fair examples.

The only mentions of Telegram on that page also mention WhatsApp right next to it. I’d love to read more about the alleged Telegram hack/leak but this link does not appear to be a source for the accusations levelled upthread.
I agree. I really wish people would tweak the rhetoric just slightly - "housing should be a right" is a perfectly logical humanitarian cause to rally behind. It doesn't assume the right is innate, doesn't call it a "human" right, but still says housing should be something everybody in our society is entitled to. Reasonable people can then disagree about whether the humanitarian benefits of making it a right are worth the costs, etc.

Calling things that aren't innate to our humanity "human rights" is absurd - for housing, but especially for things like the internet. Should we try politicians in The Hague because they don't provide universal housing for their people? Should we impose international sanctions on countries that don't have widespread broadband? Of course not.

Conflating these concepts also devalues the concept of human rights, and reduces our ability to actually focus on human rights violations. Slavery, political oppression, violence, etc. are still a very real and special class of problem in our world. People's innate human dignity is being trampled every day by oppressive, violent regimes (and, even in some cases, by liberal democracies). Let's not water down our view of these travesties by conflating them with debates about the generosity of the welfare state in rich Western democracies.
I think I see your point broadly, but some things don't really fit. Like how is, a person has the right "to have the assistance of counsel for his defense", linked to the government not taking away the rights of people. I guess I'm more focusing on the `fair` part in the rights, which to me seems more connected with something like housing.

You would need to start looking for a job before you hit 0 though as it might take few months to find a job and have income again.

So 60k I would say can stretch to 2 years if you can keep your budget of spending just 2k per month. Once you only have 10k in your bank account and your business is not profitable yet you need a job.
They don't really care...it's show-biz for them. Now considering that most of them are elected you have to blame yourself as well.

AGPL requires open-sourcing your entire project (authentication, payment platform, etc) just to link to a backend PDF processing library.

First, calling my information FUD is absurd. I wasn't aware of MTProto 2.0 because I don't follow telegram since I think it's a bad choice. Anyway,

(1) I don't see any review by cryptographers that MTProto 2.0 is safer. Where is the evidence?

(2) Unless this is also a recent change, it is true. It's not about choice really, it's about the default behavior, since most users won't choose.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. So - yes, possible in theory, but quite unlikely.
My questions are:

- if I allow users to use an AGPL product on my server and that AGPL licensed product connect to a commercially licensed application server or database on my intranet, will that be a problem?

- will it be a problem if the commercial application server connects to the AGPL licensed product to fetch data?

Except for these two points I now feel I'm starting to understand the AGPL, kind of.

> This is how land is managed e.g. in Hong Kong and Singapore, and the system works quite well.

Really? I thought HK was notorious for it's housing crysis where you have people living in flats the size of closets. According to this[1] only 24 % of land is developed in HK (7 % is residential). My understanding is that the government does this on purpose because it makes the majority of its budget from this.

By this logic, you can say "the government can't take away your freedoms by evicting you and then denying you the right to find housing elsewhere."
This isn't a clear-cut "advantage", but Finland is much more ethnically homogeneous than America. Over 90% of people in Finland are ethnically Finnish. Heck, 70% of Finns belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland [1]. It's not anywhere near as diverse (and fractious) as the USA.

The USA has historically chosen "more immigration, less social services" and Finland has chosen "less immigration, more social services". "More immigration, more social services" seems to be a hard sell. For whatever reason people generally seem turned off when a welfare state spends money on people who they feel aren't like them.

To me it is a problem of convincing voters to spend money, not lacking money to spend. Convincing voters seems easier in a homogeneous place (whatever it was immediately after WWII, there seems to be a strong "we are Finns" culture now).

The best 3d location/vector method I've used allowed rotations using normal x,y,z coordinates, but you could do rotate an object in the xyz of the engine itself, the object, or the object that object was currently attached to. This made things like shooting a lob from a forward facing gun easy, since you could raise the shot from the gun rather than the world and no quaternions were involved. I don't know if quaternions were used underneath.

If you look for the problem where it is non-exsitent the thought will surely make no sense, but instead of a mansion in the suburbs, think of a highly populated area. Think silicon valley for instance, where 150k does not allow for a decent living condition. Take my home country, Brazil: 6.9 million homeless, 6 million empty homes (https://www.bbc.com/portuguese/brasil-44028774). The exact nature of this we can only speculate, but given how crazy expensive flats in big cities like sao paulo cost and how many of those are uninhabited, we can only blame speculation and the market regulation for it.

That is some of the thought behind my argument.
They are nearly equivalent in terms of functional security.

Function isn't everything though. One example shows an awareness of the security issue and good habit being used despite the low impact. I'd argue that there is a security benefit to using one over the other.

Additionally, it's not as simple as saying "if you can change memory, then you can change memory". Memory exploits are quite often chains of small issues these days and not the simple buffer overflow of old.

For example, being able to overwrite one byte somewhere could lead to the ability to change only part of a variable address. That could be used to redirect a write to the constant string in memory.

Sure it's contrived, but scenarios like this do happen.
The unemployment rate for native Swedes is less than 4%. The unemployment rate for foreign-born Swedes is at around 20%.

That's why these rights should be leased over time. The rent from these leases can then pay for national defense, a courts system (formal rights to real-estate are quite important if you want people to physically invest in it) and many other things. If you just give them away, you're left with no money to pay for these things.
Clojure Beginner Resources
At least in the case of overflow, the article mentions a few arguments:

“””
This direction was motivated by:

Performance concerns, whereby defining the behavior prevents optimizers from assuming that overflow never occurs;
Implementation leeway for tools such as sanitizers;
Data from Google suggesting that over 90% of all overflow is a bug, and defining wrapping behavior would not have solved the bug.
“””

The first few years will be critical for your career, and after 10 years, it is very hard to move to another field.

Under the theory of positive and negative rights, a negative right is a right not to be subjected to an action of another person or group—a government, for example—usually in the form of abuse or coercion. As such, negative rights exist unless someone acts to negate them. A positive right is a right to be subjected to an action of another person or group. In other words, for a positive right to be exercised, someone else's actions must be added to the equation.

It’s all about balance.
That is the point of my comparison to the Reals. No accountant or mechanical engineer or architect need ever read, let alone understand, any proofs that the Reals exist or the fundamental construction of arithmetic. I know several highly successful economists who don't know the construction of statistics, anymore than knowing that the proofs exist and could be found somewhere, if it ever really mattered (it doesn't). As a developer, you are not a theoretical mathematician. You use math.

Game development is not fundamentally more hard than any other field of applied engineering or mathematics. It isn't theoretical mathematics. You just use the math.

Needing to "understand" root construction before "being able to use" is just procrastination.
My understanding is you can simplify it into roughly three tiers of "connection":

1. Same application, dll linked

2. Same computer, IPC linked

3. Different computer, HTTP/etc linked

Companies that use AGPL will tell you that all three are covered by AGPL.

More reasonable people will tell you that 1 is definitely covered, and 2 is a grey area.
Sure.

I quit a job that put me in the top 5% of salaries to do something I loved that gave me more time outside work, because I realized the woman I share my life with was my "ten heads in a row" and not the job that depressed me.

Another example is that rather than sinking my time into one project, one hobby, one organization, I tend to jump around a lot. That isn't to say I am constantly in that state, I've just learned that eventually the coin will flip heads and I'll be working with great people on something really interesting that is worth my time to go deep. "Worth" here, not necessarily being financial. It might be educational, or a cause I'm passionate about. Or fun. This optimizes for N.
Geez. I guess I'll leave your safe space and we'll both the better off.

Semantically, any discussion point that is arbitrarily elevated to outrage is now disallowed? Obviously off topic here, and ignoring certain perhaps universally accepted things that are disallowed, this stance seems stifling. The whole concept of "micro aggressions" or whatever that means.....just seems like virtue signaling. But YRMV.
