Yep. To give you an idea of how naive I was right out of college... I asked my company durning the interview if they contributed to open source after they told me some of the tools they use. They told me that they were putting together ideas to start contributing. It's been 8 years and they never have.
What makes you think that instance type is still running on the same hardware it was in 2006?

I find "banning" perfectly fine words, that everyone understands, because they offend some people / are used by some to offend people, utterly stupid. And it goes beyond words, such as what happened with VSCode's Santa Hat flamewar.

We are incredibly lucky to be a part of this miracle called life. We don't have much time here. It doesn't need to have a purpose, but if you do choose to have a purpose in life, it shouldn't be coming up with ways of "getting offended".

It makes sense to get offended by someone, but to get offended by this-month's-offending-word is a waste.

It's very sad that companies listen to and are afraid of the swarms of internet flamers that have nothing better to do with their time.
If that is true then basically all the photographs in Wikipedia are illegal since the only check they do is for copyright not for model release. Pretty sure that's not a legal requirement.

> Insurance is NOT a financial instrument.

How is a tool to manage financial risk NOT a financial instrument?
it's an international space station though...
You've identified a difference in motive between recreational gambling and insurance, not a mechanical difference. The woman in this article had different motives to the usual insurance customer.

The point is that one party says to the other "I will give you $X once a month, and if event E doesn't happen in that month, you get to keep this money, otherwise you must give me $Y (s.t.Y >> X)".

You can replace E with "my house burning down" or "The red team wins". In either case, I would call this a bet.

Insurance is just a specific type of gambling where you do it because E is bad and you want to be safe in case it does happen.
Insurance policies such as these are priced very simplistically for practical reasons allowing the product to be distributed widely on systems that may not be internet-connected at the time of sale. The pricing can be made more accurate reducing the potential for arbitrage but that needs to be traded off the additional overheads and ease of sale. Its not that insurers are stupid its more that we know some things are easier-solved with anti-fraud measures than fancier Rube Goldberg machines
> The point is that the study participants interact; it’s misleading to compare nations by the stat.

So what though? Do European countries like the UK (that are usually with the US when it's time to bomb somebody in the Middle East) outsource their domestic violence?

Really, you need to provide some evidence for "we have less crime, less murders, less police violence because the US has more". "The US has more income inequality because it has to fight wars for the European countries" doesn't follow either, so please don't.
Also the guy running Beaker seems to be sort of anti-blockchain (describing himself as an "Unblockchain consultant")

That's funny. I haven't checked them out, but I imagine its more the absurd hype (similar to AI) that annoys them rather than the technology itself.
It's a combination of development in CPU performance. The peak performance levels of the Apple's ARM architectures have reached peak Intel/AMD levels around the Apple A12, so they haven't been at this level for that long. In addition, Intel has not been good at iterating on their hardware since Skylake in 2015 and don't look to be making great strides in the short term.

It's like the PowerPC->Intel story all over again. Intel was not at PowerPC levels that long before 2005 (PowerPC had substantial advantages from 1994 to 2002), and IBM was not showing evidence of improving the situation beyond 2005.

I think before 2018 it was unclear whether an ARM Mac would be superior in terms of performance/heat/power, but I think given Intel's lull and Apple's continued improvements I think the best decision is clear [if you think it is worth the transition, which is the most debatable item].
> Yes, I watched a few from this link, and that admittedly small sample didn't show a single peaceful protester being abused by cops.

TGD #1 shows a woman standing with a sign being run over by a horse. That's absolutely peaceful.

TGD #2 shows a woman who was walking backwards in front of a police officer being shoved so hard she flies several meters back and hits her head on the curb. She was in the officer's face, but she certainly wasn't doing anything close to rioting.

I'll watch more later, but so far that's 2/2 at the top of the list showing peaceful protesters being abused.

> Could there be a reason for some of that that is not linked to racism? Are only white policemen more on-edge around black people?

Depends on what you mean by "racism". There was a series of studies a few years ago that put people in classic "shoot / no shoot" scenarios that police are trained on (i.e., you go through a scenario and have to shoot someone before they shoot you, but only if there's actually a gun). They randomly changed the color of the skin of the people involved. Civilians shot far more blacks than whites in "no-shoot" scenarios. Police shot about the same, but there was a longer delay: meaning, their impulse was to shoot blacks faster, but their training allowed a secondary impulse to come in and moderate the first one. (Sorry I can't find a link just now.)

But there are a host of other issues as well.
This is not a coincidence, nor is it an uncanny ability to see into the future. Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the URI/URL naming scheme, worked at CERN, which mostly used Apollos at the time. He modeled URLs after the Apollo naming scheme. "So I just copied Apollo," according to his FAQ.

Legally, you are responsible for ensuring YOUR work follows copyright. If your work is made of other works then you need to ensure you have a license for them all. Otherwise you can be sued and saying someone uploaded it to Flickr with a CC-BY won't save you. Presumably you'd track down the original author and have them sign a piece of paper where they claim it is their work. Then you can at least sue them for damages if it's not.

edit: As for your example, copyright generally doesn't care about you consuming a work but about you sharing a work. As such, you don't have to check anything but Disney does have to check everything.
This seems very similar in terms of usage to Ragel http://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/ though the formal language model is different. META II is a recursive descent / pushdown automaton, whereas Ragel is based on regular languages / DFAs - though I think Ragel's fcall allows you to implement pushdown automata.
For many students it's not a choice, especially outside rich countries like the US.
Heroku also doesn't enforce any verification that you own a domain name. Another user can simply add any domain they like to their app if you haven't claimed it by adding it to your app first. Regardless of ownership and you will no longer be able to add your own domain to your app getting a generic "domain is already in use" error. Happened to me a few years ago, had to reach out to support and prove I owned the domain. They made me verify I owned it and fixed it but said theres nothing they can do going forward. Granted it's a total edge case but was still an unnexpected experience, maybe it's fixed now who knows.

Edit: Looks like this is fairly common on PAAS so my original comment isn't that relevant.
Me too as my anecdotal evidence is completely opposite of you, neither myself or anyone I know would get a reference to ATLA, I vaguely know about it because of the anime being broadcasted in some channel.

These are all late 20s, early 30s people, Brazilians, Scandinavians, Germans, Dutch and so on, 1984 would immediately be known by most, quite a few have read it, none (even if they know about ATLA, what many don't) would get the reference.

Interesting I can cite a conversation I had not long ago with them to act as anecdotal data, I'm really interested to see what is the split here.
You would get more sympathy for your argument if the insurance companies acted like they were humanistic and not financial companies

The insurance companies themselves treat their product as a financial instrument in almost all cases

They do not act very humanistic when denying claims for all manner of technical 6point font on page 186 of terms and conditions document of the policy that says they will only pay out if the event happened on the 8th Tuesday of the month under a full moon during a eclipse...

Today insurance seems more like a protection racket than actual risk mitigation, given that more and more insurance is required by law for a person to get it becomes less of a voluntary exchange where I pay a small amount to hedge my risk and more a mandated extortion for which I will likely get little value in. Granted that does not apply to travel insurance as it is not (yet) mandatory but the industry of insurance is impacted by these external factors

Just look at all of the excuses insurance companies are using to refuse to pay out on Business Interruption Insurance due to COVID-19, or when insurance companies refuse to pay out after large scale storms due to various technical justifications, or any number of 1000's of examples I could cite that highlights the unethical behavior of that industry.

No Insurance companies get exactly zero sympathy from me
Legally speaking there is a big difference between technical fraud (using fake identities etc) and so called tax loopholes, because those often refer to clever tax avoidance. Tax evasion is illegal obviously. But the usage of tax avoidance is often even required because companies would otherwise be liable in relationship to their shareholders.

Edit: Reading your comment again, maybe my statement was already implied.

Yes. And this is quite the opposite of the current “defund the police” initiative. We actually need to fund them more to get the above to happen.
This makes me feel like there's a good niche for "developer-friendly no-code". I'm a developer and I don't like no-code solutions for all the things you mention. These current tools try to abstract a lot but it ends up becoming severely limited and hard to debug/extend. They might be okay for things like internal business tools, which is what most of them seem to be targeting. On the other hand, I've been playing with Hasura recently. As a full-stack developer, it's amazing. It gets rid of tons of boilerplate for back end dev, and I can focus on building features rather than CRUD plumbing. It's easily extensible using serverless functions. It feels like it's helpful to me more than trying to replace what I do.
> Comparing a thing to a thing that is not that thing is not 'the height of discourse'.

That isn't what I said. I will re-quote, that which was stated plainly:

>> Trying to show viewpoints in the clearest and most concise way, is the height of discourse.

It's usually not worth it to engage with someone who ignores the content, which they are ostensibly criticizing. I will try to answer the main thrust of your post, as a courtesy (you may interpret it as a rehash).

> What is the specific 'backdoor point' you take issue with?

Creating a second interpretation of an analogy, rather than clarifying (or rephrasing) the point being made.

> The comment made a point, I made a different point

This is no different than posting "I disagree." AND "I think this..." but without clarity in why you disagree on the original point (not even sure you understand what the original point of the analogy was supposed to be), because you chose to piggy-back with similar terms by using a completely different analogy and implying that it invalidates an argument that was never articulated. This is disingenuous, at the core.

Why Signal is marketed as a "private" application when in order to even evaluate it, users needs to give away their phone number, which can be considered as one of the most private things that a person can have?

They even share the phone number with some unspecified thirdparties, according to the privacy policy:

> Third Parties. We work with third parties to provide some of our Services. For example, our Third-Party Providers send a verification code to your phone number when you register for our Services.

I would be grateful for explanation.
'main' doesn't seem like a good solution if this is really what they're going to do. it might just be me but a 'master' branch in some repos might not be equal to what you could consider a 'main' branch.

There’s actually a proposed scientific model for this system of beliefs called Relaxed Beliefs Under Psychedelics (REBUS): http://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/71/3/316 In Buddhism we just call these beliefs “conditioning”.

Good therapy can be a great method for finding and exploring these limiting beliefs. In Hakomi therapy in particular you relax the mind to a sensitive level using mindfulness (open attention to present moment) and then run experiments seeing the subtle ways your body and mind react to situations habitually. For example after hearing you talk about your life and problems the therapist might think of a probe like “You’re safe here” and the person notices their reactions to this probe — maybe their jaw tightens. Those reactions are indications of beliefs and associated memories. Through the process of therapy these implicit beliefs become apparent which is often very emotional and when fully integrated results in greater freedom. More on Hakomi here: https://hakomi.com/history

This is considerably less consumer hostile response than the realistic 'price-optimisation' alternative of excluding the flights people are most likely to need insurance for from the insurance pool [though it sounds like they've given themselves very broad scope to deny claims]
In general, knowingly and intentionally deceiving an insurance company for financial gain is fraud. The fact that somewhat similar behavior is not fraud in a completely different context is irrelevant to if the behavior is fraud in this context.

Intentions 100% matter when it comes to insurance fraud.

"On Tuesday June 9th 2020 Heroku changed the certificate used for terminating TLS for built-in <appname>.herokuapp.com hostnames from a certificate issued by DigiCert to one issued by Starfield/AWS. This change was rolled back on June 10th because a small subset of Heroku customers had pinned apps to the DigiCert certificate or had apps that could not establish a chain of trust with the new certificate for other reasons.

A new DigiCert-signed certificate will replace the current one before June 22nd (when it expires)."

Put like that, I agree. If the US fundamentally changed their culture towards being less individualist and more collectivist, a lot of things would change with it.

I don't think US-citizens by and large want that change bad enough to accept restrictions upon their freedoms and an end to low taxes, European-level wealth redistribution does not seem to be popular in the US. I suppose they'd like the result without doing it. Unfortunately that's like wanting to be great at tennis without wanting to put in the training: understandable, but not happening.

While I understand where you’re coming from, in terms of the current legal situation, you are liable for mistakenly believing some license information when that turns out to be wrong.

The way that publishers, for example, avoid such pitfalls is by exclusively working with professional agencies that control the provenance of the work they license.

Watching anything isn’t copying nor showing and therefore safe. Practically, if you want to use any CC-licensed photos, I would advise at least a reverse image search.

Sorry, please read the article. She was not arrested for normally buying retail insurance like how everyone does.

The woman faked different identities (illegal) to not fall under regular insurance quotations, and used insider information (illegal/scam in insurance policies, just how insider info is illegal in stocks).

This is akin to someone buying car insurance, faking different identities each time, and plan in advance to crash the car every single time (the insider info part).
If you need to control mains AC loads, I highly recommend something like the Sonoff Wifi switches. They're similar to the wifi "Smart plugs" you can get these days but are aimed at fixed wiring installations and they're safety tested. You can also get versions with built in temp\humidity sensors in the switch, then re-flash the Sonoff firmware with esphome and control all 15 from a single raspberry pi running home assistant. This would allow you to set temperatures for individual rooms over the internet.

What's interesting is that I didn't make that video for a general audience. I made it for the networking research community, so I didn't bother to explain what Dijkstra's algorithm is, or any of the basics really. There are also a number of graphs which conventional wisdom says should not be in a video for a general audience. Turns out we often underestimate the large niche technical-but-not-specialist audience which doesn't mind things not being dumbed down too much.

I wish people would stop referring to increased internal resolution in emulators as “upscaling”. There is no upscaling/resampling/interpolation/filtering happening here, it's just rendering at a higher resolution than on the original console. Referring to it as “upscaling” makes it sound like post-processing applied to a low-resolution image, like on an upscaling DVD or Blu-ray player or NVidia's DLSS, which is not what is happening here.
But the other poster only claimed that this was fraud because it abuses a loophole. So where is the line between a loophole being legal versus being fraud? Or, what is it that makes this fraud besides being a loophole?
The shell would know when the program has been finished for the same reason it knows when to print the shell prompt. The issue isn't that the shell is unaware of the state of the process, it's that the shell simply doesn't know where the cursor is nor what output a process has written to a TTY. And in fact a TTY can even be written to by processes outside of the same shell process group (since they're all just files in /dev).
In every UEFI thread there’s a bunch of critics saying, “See! It doesn’t work! UEFI secure boot is pointless!”

I say that it takes this much effort to bypass it shows the opposite: that it does work, it does increase security.

But like every security measure so far, it’s seemingly not perfect. Nobody is honestly surprised by that, are they?
