When it's a reply to somebody speaking of war and weapons and given as a disapproving extrapolation ad absurdum of that attitude, I don't see that it's intended to incite so much as to elucidate the idea that incitement is itself a bad thing.

The substance in itself must be extremely cheap to produce. What you're paying is the mark-up at each additional step in the logistics chain; and the mark-up is huge because instead of rewarding labour it's rewarding risk. You can imagine that each intermediary might multiply the price by a factor of 5, and you can imagine how many steps there are between a container full of cocaine and the 1-gram doses sold on the street.

> I don't really have a sense for whether the legal system makes any differentiation between different sessions of Congress, or whether it's just viewed as one continuously-operating entity.

Congress as an institution is one continuously operating entity. But the important question legally is not what Congress is, but what the actual text of the statute passed by Congress and signed by the President is. That is the law. In other words, the Constitution does not say "whatever Congress says is the law". It lays out a specific process by which laws get passed, and says what the limitations of that process are (no ex post facto laws, which means Congress can't pass a law that says some previous law meant something different, and have that retroactively apply).

> would Congress be able to retroactively-clarify their intent if the law was very recent and the same Congress was still in session?

No, but they could pass a new statute repealing the old one, or replacing it with new language, which would limit the time the old statute was in effect.
It's a sort of bait and switch tactic. They're relying on the notion that an ad hominem attack is a logical fallacy, which everyone agrees is bad, an invalid method of argument.

Except that they're using a uselessly vague definition of ad hominem that amounts to "any insult", which is extra stupid because we already have a word for that: insult. So why even use the Latin, then, other than to make yourself sound fancy?
Congress has no ability to do this, period. If they screw up and pass something ambiguous that gets interpreted contrary to their desires, their only remedy is to pass a new law to fix the problems. That will only -- by design -- cover new cases, as they are constitutionally barred from passing legislation that takes retroactive effect.

Even if Apple could demonstrate clear value for certain niche applications, those applications could have been served by a successful add-on USB peripheral (not unlike replacing an in-box device with a better mouse or keyboard).

Instead, they saddled every one of their users with this thing, where it has remained at best in limbo between “occasionally useful” and “worse than the original”. I can say without a doubt that the only reason I finally broke down and bought a new laptop is because (1) they finally came to their senses with the physical Esc key, and (2) BetterTouchTool exists.

Please try to be civil, things like "That's not how this works, you give the definition and example" and "So far, the "yes that's an ad hominem" side seems disinclined to provide any evidence or engage directly." are factually untrue and ad hominem, we're downthread from me doing exactly that.

In 1993 I was 12 years old and spent many, many hours drawing a pixel-perfect replica of the Mortal Kombat dragon logo in MS Paintbrush (the name of MS Paint at the time). I believe it was a 640x480 BMP. I so wish I had saved a copy of this and all of the other stuff I downloaded off bulletin boards! Stuff like this got me started in web graphics, HTML, and eventually sysadmin.

To this day I still take screenshots (PrtScn) and save them using pbrush (WinKey+R pbrush).
> Is it maybe because the delivery service gets a smaller cut in this case?
Yes, this is correct. If you order from DoorDash directly, the restaurant will pay anywhere from 15-40% of the total transaction.

Restaurants that have partnered with DoorDash for delivery logistics only will pay usually around $7 per order (this varies depending on geography and overall partner terms).

However, the key difference is that this delivery fee is almost always passed on to the customer. So from a restaurant's perspective, they are getting a great deal: Delivery logistics for customers who want delivery, but if they're using a low/no commission direct ordering service, they keep (most of) the full order margin.

> Still, it seems weird that Congress wouldn't get a say in determining what their own bills mean when there's a dispute.

Ah yes, rule by Humpty Dumpty, where you don't know what the words they used mean until they tell you, and words mean what they choose them to mean, neither more nor less.

If it were a law passed by the current congress, then maybe they would have some insight into their own intentions. But I don't see that the congress of 2020 is any better informed about what the congress of 1909 intended than you or I.

And even under the same congress the idea a law could have a secret meaning, passed by congress but defined only in their minds and unknowable to those under their rule, seems completely contrary to the idea of the rule of law.
Plus which, in the last decade I can remember exactly two instances where I was positively surprised by a custom font. All other times I didn't notice, would have preferred another font, or even opened up dev tools to revert the font. Given that the latter occurred more often than the instances where the custom font was a nice-to-have, I tend to agree that web fonts are just a lost cause, especially if it's (practically) a package deal with centralized tracking.
Quite the opposite! Protections are built for situations just like the AF447, where pilots have a perfectly flyable aicraft, but crash because they are disoriented, don't understand what's going on, and accidentally push the aircraft out of safe flying margins.

The AF447 didn't have automatic protections available due to sensor failure. Flight computers detected the failure and degraded flight controls into direct mode with less protections than under normal operating conditions. While flying on their own, pilots performed below their expected standard and there was not enough information available from sensors for automatic systems to save them.
But what if the court were being intentionally obtuse and kept interpreting laws in face of the facts and the intent of congress? You need to consider this as something less brazen could be used to undermine congress' authority.

The judicial branch de facto has the most power of any branch in the US. The positions are not elected.
This is really cool! From what I've seen (though my knowledge is certainly not comprehensive) so many of the fin-tech/challenger bank apps and options that have sprung up over the past few years don't really have that interesting hook to differentiate themselves from one another. It looks like you guys have something special here. (It at least caught my attention :))

I don't know the economics around acquisition/retention in this space (or much about revenue streams from a user...) but it seems like the core offerings of challenger banks and banking in general are relatively fungible and that long term success will really come down to how efficient you are on gaining and keeping your base from going elsewhere. However, I've also read on how the markets challenger banks are aiming at are greenfield in comparison to the established players, so there may be room for lots of small players for a good while. I'm really interested in how Yotta/this space is going to diversify in the future since the inherent location moat of the brick and mortar banks (i.e. you had to bank at what was nearby - nobody was going to the next state over to bank) doesn't exist and the core banking products (checking/savings/loans) are generally the same. Who comes out on top in the long run - the banks with specialized offerings that generate more revenue per user, or ones that only do the regular banking products but are super operationally efficient? When and how will consolidation happen/is scale the most important thing? Just doing some personal spitballing here, as I doubt there is anything here you guys haven't already thought of.

As another former finance person now in consumer analytics/tech (coincidentally, also Penn/Wharton '14) it's always cool to see more work being done on the product and creation side. Would love to chat/connect to see if I could be helpful (selfishly, I'd like to learn more about your guys' work.) Of course, no strings attached and no pressure at all.

Best of luck!

> This work is part of a major project investigating why, during the Battle of Actium (31 BC), Cleopatra's large ships lost when they faced Octavian's weaker vessels. Might the Bay of Actium, which has all the characteristics of a fjord, have trapped the Queen of Egypt's fleet in dead water?

The Battle of Actium was one of the great inflection points in history. If Caesar has lost, the world would have looked a lot different.

One thing I would think that might be against this hypothesis is that Cleopatra’s flag ship was able to make an escape. It likely would have been the biggest ship and given that Cleopatra brought a lot of gold with here, would have been heavily loaded as well.

We all know obfuscation isn't some magic "no one knows how this works now" trick: the goal is to buy time while people are forced to work though your defense and to slow down the proliferation. Now, the "problem" with this is that some people are just really good at pulling things apart, and so one person can spend four hours attacking it and then tell the world how it worked. But then it is more a matter of incentives, and it still isn't the case that there is much universal incentive for it to both be reverse engineered and then documented for others so quickly (even in the world of piracy; the incentives there are fascinating, but still selfish).

And in fact, I will argue that this looks like it worked great: yes, someone--and of course, likely many people working in shadowy areas of organized crime, arms dealers, and government contractors--figured it out in hours, and they could have been malicious and used it to attack others. But the real question is then how many such attackers you enable and what their goals are. If you publish an exploit as open source code along with the tool (which some people have done in the past :/), you allow almost any idiot "end" developer to become an attacker: millions of people at low effort instead of thousands or hopefully even only hundreds (when combined with incentives, not just ability).

If you publish a closed source binary with obfuscation--one which is restricted to a limited usage profile (like if nothing else it isn't in the right UI form to "trick" someone into triggering it, or where what it ostensibly "does" is too blatantly noticeable) you limit the number of people who both have the time and incentives to work out the vulnerability and then rebuild a stable exploit for it (which is hard) down to a small number of people, almost none of whom (including the attackers) who are then incentivized to publish a blog post (or certainly code) until at least months after it gets fixed (as was the case here).

And so, as someone who had been sitting in the core of this community--where everyone is wearing a grey hat, the vendors are the "bad guys", and "responsible disclosure" is being complicit in a dystopia--and dealing with these ethical challenges for a decade, my personal opinion is "please never ever drop a zero day on the world without it being a closed source obfuscated binary" unless you want to drop the barrier to entry so low that you have creepy software engineers quickly using the exploit against their ex-spouse as opposed to "merely" advanced attackers using the vulnerability for corporate or government espionage.
Regarding syntax highlighting, I created my own Emacs theme a few years ago to have only a few constructs highlighted:

* The name of a function being defined

* Comments

* String and character literals

> And police aren't exactly underpaid either.

To drive this point home, the median salary before overtime and bonuses is $105,106/year for cops[1], and with overtime, cops can earn over $250,000/year[2].

The median salary for software engineers in the same state is 10% lower than the $105k police salary before overtime and bonuses.

The bust doesn't change the demand at the market. The producers will provide as much as the market demands, taking into account the expected losses along the supply chain (losses such as confiscation).

This only increases the cost of the suppliers. Which will be passed on to the consumer.

As others have said, the war on drugs can only increase the price, and temporarily disrupt supply. I think it has been conclusively proven they are not capable of increasing the price above what the customer is willing to pay.

Someone said that's a result of constant under-funding and treating your military with no respect - when it's only seen as a choice for those who can't "do any better", you'll get extremists among the ranks.

Sounds plausible, at least in the US soldiers seem to be highly respected and in turn, they respect the country and its people.
Downvoting is essentially denying someone the chance to have their voice be heard. If it's something egregiously bad, flag it. If you simply don't agree with the statement, leave a comment to hash it out.

We want all information that's not outright wrong or uncalled for so we can get to the best understanding. Downvoting hides viewpoints and makes us work with less information. It also powerfully biases people against a viewpoint, often unjustifiably.

Downvoting would be fine if we all always used strong reasoning in good faith. I don't think that happens for most downvotes.

I agree with you on the legal aspects, but the mind-bending bit is that the neighbor's actions -- at the time -- were not legal (because no, it is not legal to build structures on someone else's property without their permission), but because it was left to sit that way for some period of time, the result of those actions -- a de facto redrawing of property lines -- has become the new legal status. Which, honestly, sounds completely bonkers to me.
Please try to be civil - accusing people of lying to win an argument is bad faith and doesn't belong on HN.

You may also note that having a "word for that already" is also called a "synonym", and we don't accuse people of bait and switch, misrepresentation, being uselessly vague, and making themselves sound fancy because they say "synonym"

That's odd. My neighbor built his house on the side of his property and inadvertently built it 5 feet over onto the neighbor's property. The way they worked it out was that my neighbor had to buy that portion of his neighbor's property. The alternative was to move (ie, destroy) the building.

Legally, any tips go solely to the individual waiter to whom the tip was given. Restaurants may not legally require a tip sharing program, either between servers, or from the servers to the cooks.
