Again, you're avoiding the question; it's a moral question, not a legal one. Yes, it's illegal. But that doesn't mean it's unethical.

I'm asking if it's unethical to sell someone a gun if you're convinced they're going to do something you believe to be unethical with it. I would say yes. I'm not sure if you would say, "no, it doesn't matter if I know they're going to kill children with it", "maybe, if I only think they're going to kill animals with it", or "yes, I don't think I should sell them the gun if I know they're going to do something I don't approve of with it".

To your second point, we're not talking about "maybe they're going to do something bad", we're saying "here's plenty of documentation that they're going to do something bad".
So the real question is why a library with the word "static" in its title does 30 thousand allocations..
Risk is an integral part of the market. Why should people be prohibited from taking risks? I could probably get behind preventing people from taking extreme risks--those that would likely make them dependent on our social safety nets--but why prohibit people from putting a few bucks into a high risk investment (which is what you're doing if you prohibit the sale of stock in companies pursuing bankruptcy)? Even if you're 23 and betting your life savings, you still have an income and retirement account and a lot of working years left before retirement.

When I experimented with it briefly, though, it seemed pretty heavy, and I wasn't able to just use a small part of it without bringing in a whole jungle.

It's now coming out that he didn't have access to that kind of leverage.

Robinhood will show one leg of a multi-leg options strategy as your balance in certain cases.

So you have theoretically sold 700k in calls, but it's covered by a near equal amount of options being bought, there is no scenario in which you could actually owe 700k

Yet Robinhood's engineers didn't properly implement the feature, so their account balance showed the calls as if they had been sold naked, resulting in -700k as a balance.
At college I built a Linux cluster for a project and for the SAN/NAS I used XigmasNAS. It's so much smaller and less bloated than FreeNAS has become.

I had trouble configuring parts of the cluster but overall XigmaNAS worked well.

Years ago I read a blog that taught the series of steps needed to perform GNUTLS certificate pinning for Emacs use. At the time, it seemed like a convenient way to boost security. After all, services were only renewing their certificates every 2–3 years, so once you set up your configuration, you wouldn't have to change it for a long time.

But then Lets Encrypt came along and was widely adopted. LE thinks that it is best that certificates expire after only a few weeks. So, if you have pinned a lot of certificates, you start to feel that it is too much work to manage that configuration, you constantly have to update it.
I agree. Google wasn't really sure how to go about it in Android, we really have to thank Apple for this step. It was historical and the best that could happen to all of us, specially when the Flash cookies are taken into consideration.
I got into programming via Macromedia Flash, which was then purchased by Adobe and integrated into Creative Suite. It was pretty empowering to be able to quickly draw graphics on the stage, animate them with tweening, and then have the ability to add an identifier to an object to reference it with code. I could easily switch from visually animating something, to then trigger animations with code and callbacks, to getting more advanced and making full blown interfaces, games, and interactive content.

Additionally, it was amazing that whatever you created in Flash could be exported and published to the web relatively easily. And it would look the same on all browsers. This was during the time where browser CSS support was abysmal and most web developers would spend their time exporting 9-slice images from Photoshop to be used as background images in tables to get rounded corners.
Maybe I need to try ZFS again now that I have different drives. I used to run it on 6x 3TB WD Red drives (raid-z2) and could never get ZFS to perform anywhere near what I expected. Ended up going with LVM on mdraid (raid 6) on dm-integrity and got tremendously better performance for my "home nas / vm image host" machine.
> Everyone already hated and was avoiding flash at that point.

"Everyone"? I loved it. Kids loved it. The people who hated and killed it were programmers, and to this day they haven't created any alternative that kids would love as much.

It's similar to the murder of Dreamweaver. Actual designers who draw pixels on the screen loved it. Programmers hated it, pushed CSS instead, and visual editing of the web died.

I read this as a warning that while people at work may be "friendly" with you, they are not "friends", necessarily, though they certainly can become them. This means that one must be careful confiding certain comments or thoughts with people who are friendly, or you may find yourself thrown under the bus or find this information enter the public domain at your workplace. Young people may be particularly primed for this oversharing, and I think the warning is that it should always be carefully considered.
There are good reasons for police to receive a lot more firearms training and practice than they do, but no amount of training will change the need for them to shoot to ‘kill’.

Even the best handgun shooters in the world are unlikely either to be reliably be able to shoot to incapacitate.

It just isn’t a capacity that handguns have in realistic use cases.

The primary reason police need more training with firearms is so that they become less afraid of them and more generally competent and confident.

That will give them more capacity to exercise better judgement in when they actually need to shoot.

Of course it depends a lot on the training and whether it is aimed at increasing or reducing their fear levels.

Wait, that's a conservative ideal?

As far as I can see from their behavior, the conservatives are just as happy not having the responsibility as anyone else; most of their talk about "legislation from the bench" and "overreaching regulations" has been little more than attacks on abortion rights, same-sex marriage, and so on. Further, when they have had the opportunity, they have been completely unable to legislate, even so far as to reverse previous legislation that they hate.
not excusing this disgusting behaviour in the least, but I suspect having no relationship whatsoever with the victims helps them dehumanize their targets. People do and say things on the internet they would never conceive of attempting in person, in part because they think they can get away with it and partially because there's no visual linkage between their actions and the pain they cause.

Action speaks louder than Words.They only acted when the sales number or Data shows. And that was already too late. That is not caring by old Apple's Standard.

Apple sells roughly 18-20M Mac per year. According to their own words more than 50% of these are completely new to the Mac platform. ( And most of them are form China ) You would have expected 9-10M new Active Users every year if no one was leaving the platform. Instead from 2014 to 2018, during that 5 years they managed to add 20M. ( Genuine Question, Did anyone notice there are less Mac users in US? ) There are also 20M registered developers, which adds to the bottom-line of Mac. What used to be annual Active User number reporting stopped in 2019. And even stopped mentioning satisfactory rate of Mac. Mac Pro was done not because they cared, but because a few closely connected real professional customers threaten to leave the platform before they took action. ( And many left before they notice )

It is like in a marriage when your partner keeps telling others in public how he/she loves you. But did not show any care or action during that time. For years He/She dont even talk to you or notice you. You try talking to him/her about having problems but he/she completely ignore you. One day you publicly file for divorce and He/She rushed out and tell others how much he/she cares and are working on it. That is not caring, it is called saving faces.

What’s wrong with Sandisk?
I've been in a similar position for close to a decade now.
One of the most effective things I can tell you to do is make sure that you document and ask for verification of any deliverables or requirements. Send summary emails (either after each meeting/or weekly) to make sure that everyone agrees with your understanding in writing and that nothing is missing.
I've had multiple clients say something along the lines of "We never agreed to that" but when I've been able to show them an email it helps change the mood of the discussion. Then it becomes a change to the project rather than something you initially missed and now have to finagle. "If it's not documented it didn't happen" is an effective phrase to live by when dealing with clients, even the nice ones.
You don't have to be aggressive, always be polite but firm.
You can see how the engagement progresses and change things up if the client is more laid back.
Additionally, keep track of the overall schedule, and make sure to point out things that will take you away from delivering on the schedule. I've had multiple clients ask for 1 or 2 side things and then complain when schedules slip. If you ensure they understand what the implications of additional work are (in writing) then you'll save yourself some hassles down the road.

> Which is great for Democrats (like myself)

I find it rather grimly ironic that a political party that calls itself "Democratic" endorses explicitly non democratic means for making reforms, on the grounds that, in your own words, "Voters cannot be relied upon to enact these kinds of changes themselves".
'master' and 'whitelist' have nothing to do with race or racism.

It seems that some people are projecting their own prejudice onto unrelated words and perhaps they should reflect on why they relate everything to race.
It was mainly because Win2k was basically the next version of WinNT which had nothing in common with Win95/98 under the hood.
You are though. You seem to be claiming that in general there is no moral imperative to try and prevent any crime. But that misses the point that the harm from some crimes is greater than others, and that there may be a moral imperative from preventing potential quantities of harm, irrespective of whether or not something is criminal.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to call it “financial entitlement”, to believe that your capital would always have positive value?

While we’ll likely never run out of need for human labor, it’s very possible we’re running out of capital investment opportunities that realize a risk adjusted return above 0. “Too much money chasing too few deals” and all that jazz.

What has Sandisk been up to?
Because that's an overdetermined explanation. Their primary motivation is control of information, and that by itself is the only reason they need to ban Facebook. It's also why they ban a number of other sites that don't compete with Chinese companies.

Protecting Chinese social media companies from competition is at best a secondary motivation and it probably isn't even necessary -- Chinese internet users prefer Chinese social media for a variety of reasons, and I don't think Facebook is a significant competitive threat. Neither is Twitter.

On the other hand, China allowed Google to operate even though it might have been a strong competitor to Baidu. Google was only blocked when it refused to comply with censorship policies -- again demonstrating that control over information is the government's main concern.
And yet decidedly inconsistent with his reputation of being a textualist, since he appears to take into consideration the intention drafters of the law by looking at other attempts to amend it. He does not appear to address in his dissent the meaning of the text itself beyond pointing out an omission that the Majority opinion addresses explicitly (though somewhat contradictorily).
> In a society, those are the only issues that actually matter.

Only if your definition of "society" ignores individuals and says that only society itself matters. Lots of individuals (including me) strongly disagree with that.
The magnitude of America's crimes against humanity is scary to comprehend - it is analogous to the situation of 1930's Nazi Germany and that is not hype. The sheer magnitude of the numbers of innocent victims is AN UTTER ATROCITY.

Do you think the American public has the temerity to survive the shock of its own complicity in the murder of literally, millions of innocent people by their own armed forces?

I don't think it will be good for America unless their war criminals are prosecuted - and we all know that isn't going to happen. Trouble is, the evidence of those crimes is not going away ...

By not using an email address (dialtone is a medium unto itself, just as much as snailmail, in-person, messaging and video links are and would require different security protocols).

I grew up reading Nerd Vittles (lurker shoutout to Ward) and think dialtone is sexy, but the digital version of "don't call me, I'll call you" will most likely not include email (or inbound messaging).

{Sidenote: I also worked in deploying cable broadband around Y2K and taking a small percentage of the phone companies business was a big chunk at the time. The dialtone wars will not stop at LTE, but should find a new avenue with SAT dialtone. Its going to be another big chunk (no citation).}

This has been my general experience writing numerical linear algebra methods in Julia. Optimizing a specific algorithm, eliminating unnecessary allocations is the first thing I do, and can give large performance gains, especially for iterative methods.

It can be a bit annoying, and can result in much less readable code (eg having to explicitly write things like mul!(C, A, B)). It ends up looking a lot more like the FORTRAN it is meant to replace, and if you aren't careful you lose the ability to use generic types, though multiple dispatch is a great solution. The worst case I have found is iteratively calling linear algebra solvers (Eig, SVD, LU) which do not have any option for preallocating and reusing work arrays. The only way to do this now is to call the BLAS/LAPACK routines directly with ccall, which is a huge pain. There was an attempt to fix this with PowerLAPACK.jl, but it seems abandoned, so for the moment writing optimized methods in FORTRAN/C and calling from Julia is sometimes still preferable.

Julia does quite well though, so this only seems necessary for things like core NLA libraries, for example I would not try rewriting ARPACK in Julia for a performance gain. The gain in flexibility for writing these in Julia is absolutely huge though, and I definitely recommend it. The Grassmann.jl library has many examples of what a language like Julia makes possible, or DifferentialEquations.jl.
By that logic, judicial review would also have to be struck down, as the Constitution did not make any provisions for it, would it not? After all, to strike a law passed by the legislature and approved by the Executive is to essentially at a minimum have the power to mint a new law of the form "X law is unconstitutional and cannot have force of law."

That's the troublesome crux that bugged even Jefferson if I recall, that essentially those appointed for life judges through judicial review could single handedly shift the direction of policy in the nation.

For as much effort as was put in to constrain the Executive, the judiciary was a rather pronounced backdoor that I'm unsure that any amount of wrangling or re-architecture could resolve.

Though, I'd love to see an experiment where affordances were made for a "Supreme Jury" of the people to balance out the political strategic value of Supreme Court justice appointments to counter the long term provisioning of power, but I'm still unsure whether that would be stable in terms of maintaining any semblance of checks and balances.

Perhaps that Jury is vested with final discretion over acceptance of writs of certiorari, allowing the populace to direct the attention of the court, but still leaving the review to the appointees. I'm still not sure there's not an exploit there somewhere, but it would be an interesting way to essentially create an "anti-legislature", primarily tasked (given the general tone of Supreme Court appeals) of knocking law off the books. Then again, given I'm just spitballing, I'd want to sit down and give it a real hard think as to whether that would really do anything other than add in more complexity.
I develop in Firefox and it’s pretty rare that I have to spend time on other browsers, which was not the case a decade ago.

It’s also not like Flash was perfect at this: I ran into compatibility issues where something worked on Windows but not macOS or vice versa, and the frictional cost of having an unstable, primitive IDE was significant — especially since Adobe typically ignored bug reports until the next major release, at which point they’d tell you that you should drop $500 for the privilege of seeing whether they’d fixed it.

I think that's rewriting history a bit. Sure, many of us nerds knew that Flash was problematic abandonware and sort of wished it would go away long before Apple launched a nuke at it, but we were the exception. Most people then, as now, didn't really understand or care how damaging flash was to the tech ecosystem. Sure, they saw a few annoying ads and security warnings, but they broadly considered them "worth it" for the content. Apple not only spoke up about Flash being the industry limiting factor regarding device responsiveness, battery performance, and security, but they did something about it in the face of widespread condemnation and resentment that hasn't dissipated to this very day.
Track these Metrics to know if You have a Product/Market Fit?
Top 10 metrics indicating that you have a product/market fit (Inspired by Andrew Chen)

1. Your product is sticky which means your Cohort Retention Curve is flattening

2. Your Power User Curve is smiling which means your users are engaged and they keep coming back on the product

3. You virality factor is more than 1.5 where your user becomes a source to touch your non-users

4. The ratio of Daily Active Users to Monthly Active Users > 0.5 which means your users have formed a habit of using your product almost on a daily basis

5. The daily user frequency at Day1, Day7 and Day30 > 60%, 30% and 15% respectively

6. The percentage of actives/registered > 25%

7. You have a great organic strategy to acquire new users which almost tends towards zero. This means you drive > 60% of your traffic organically without any ads or paid promotions

8. For subscription-based businesses like SaaS, you have > 65% paid user retention on an annual basis

9. You have > 4X Annual Growth Rate (AGR)

10. Your revenue or activity expands on a per user basis over time which means your user is deeply engaged or has a habit to use your product

Andrew Chen, partner at Andreessen Horowitz has simplified the solution to product/market in one of his Linkedin posts and I have elaborated on those points in one of my blogs

My understanding is that development of Inbox slowed and became unpleasant because the C++ generated JS was unattractive to developers at Google, and it didn’t have the internal support for a rewrite. Since the Gmail product was the incumbent, has more developers and is probably refactored often enough to maintain a certain code quality level, and several Inbox features were compatible with Gmail, the Inbox product had no leverage to get itself enough support to stay alive.
