I own a domain name that is a generic word but is also an one-off of a medical company (and a very "likely" typo).

My catch-all mailbox has received an insane amount of highly sensitive medical records over the years. Most of these mails were coming from employees of the company itself, not external correspondents.

I have since modified the catch-all mailbox to reject mails from the medical company, so they get a bounce message. This has not reduced the number of messages, but at least they will know something went wrong...

People are not very careful, even with highly sensitive data...

I love Apple devices, but at some point no one can afford them anymore. Strangely, I noticed that this has happened before when Steve Jobs left Apple for the first time. At that point, Apple's product lineup keep getting more complex and more expensive, until Jobs came back and cut both the product count and pricing back to sensible levels.

This time, there is no one that can go back there and do that anymore. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

I’m probably part of that crowd. As a geek I wanted to have the newest and the shiniest for years. But currently iterations are boring. There is no novelty. Since I’m the payer for the phones of my family if I don’t see the point there are usually at least few sales per year on phone alone that are lost here. It’s anecdotal but based on my talks with friends it’s the same for them.

> As it stands the 611-612 series rules pertaining to sub-penny pricing allow for average price executions; a large percentage of U.S. equities volume already trades at mid or within the spread, both principally and on venue.

True, but only lit decimal penny prices are protected by NBBO. Particularly when it comes to retail flow, that gives internalization pools a license to charge high prices by only having to match penny ticks.

If sub-penny was protected by NMS, then lit exchange quotes could narrow the NBBO spread, forcing the internalization pools to give retail traders much better pricing.

Also in general, I suspect price discovery is much less efficient when it occurs outside of lit quotes. If not just because, there’s no transparency on book pressure. But I’m definitely less confident about that assertion, and haven’t seen it quantified in any way.
You can threaten to report them to regulators for knowingly sending non-public personal information to a third-party.
In part, it's because an action of the government has a binary state (lawful/unlawful) distinct from the person having facilitated/executed it.

Then there is the issue of having had a crime committed. A charge must be clearly defined, proved by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of the accused's peers, tried in a court with appropriate jurisdiction, and the sentence must not be deemed either cruel or unusual in nature, and they must be brought by a someone with standing. Usually an Attorney General or prosecutor, who themselves wield the power of prosecutorial nullification, or as they prefer to call it so as not to night it's sister phenomena, jury nullification, prosecutorial discretion. The official in that position iseitherelected or a political appointee, so has every reason to be highly selective in the cases that deserve their time, effort, and publicity.

Make no mistake, the halls of justice that are the courts are not by any means apolitical. To give credit where it's due, of all the branches, they are the most noteworthy for illustrating active attempts to be apolitical, but there is still much indirect political taint to be found.

What I find particularly annoying is when parents use this account to register for a kid's school alerts. All sort of important stuff like "Do not send your kid to school this week!" or "Where did your kid go?" and because the school itself is also not super savvy, there is nowhere for me to send a reply saying "You need to fix this!"
I was disappointed that the article ends with “ Apple is losing new iPhone users at a drip-drip-drip pace” without considering how long a user is keeping their phone or why.

I would have thought the number of iPhone users continues to rise even though annual unit sales are falling, due to the longevity of the devices.

I’m typing this on my nearly 3 year old iPhone X and don’t intend to replace it until 2021 at the earliest (and then give it to my son!).

How to Install OpenSSL from Source in CentOS and Ubuntu
Can you explain the math here ? If you make $500k, at 9% progressive, it will be like 6% flat with all deductions. So tax will be $30k. Then you take a 10% pay cut. So you are losing $50k. So you lose $50k, and gain $30k. That’s negative $20k. Even if you keep your salary same, your mortgage has to be roughly $2.5k/month. That’s a 1 bedroom condo.

This price differentiation actually occurs in all products and companies. Look at SaaS, it's all the same software product but features are selectively enabled for higher-paying customers.

Something that's different between software and hardware such as chips are that the chips that have things disabled are done so because those disabled parts actually don't work. If you only yield 2 out of 4 cores, it's easier to just make it a dual-core CPU rather than throw the chip away.

It was clear to me why people voted for trump the first time round. (Although, many experts believe it was more about voting against Clinton than for trump.)

He was an outsider/wildcard/Maverick and perceived smart businessman so his promises to clean up the corruption seemed more plausible than the entrenched status quo.

Now that his lack of business acumen, lack of general intelligence, non-existent diplomacy, zero empathy, and pure personal greed mixed with nepotism and corruption has been laid bare, I understand those who plan to vote for him next time round very little except through the lens of identity politics and hate/racism/xenophobia/epistemonophobia.
> I really don't understand why async and await is even a thing anymore

Programming with threads is hard because they can context-switch at arbitrary points. Goroutines are nothing more than (lightweight) threads.

Stackful coroutines (as in Lua) aren’t much better, because they can context-switch at any function call.

Code that uses async-await is different - it can only context-switch at points explicitly marked with `await`.
That's why they created airpods, watches, homepods and the forthcoming airtags and glasses. Those items don't get purchased standalone; they're part of the iphone experience. Analyzing iphone sales without accessory sales is missing the point.
No, because you are still making the same financial commitment in the end, and the buyer will be aware of that decision.

This pricing technique is just to make someone look.

So, if this is unethical, so is a brightly lit sign, or a couple well-placed adjectives in a sales pitch.
Extremely far. It'd be extraordinarily costly - imagine every Chinese national SWE having to leave American companies - and in the US probably unlawful to impose.

Yes, it used to be a single phone a year, pricier options were just for storage. Maybe that was too far in one direction, I don't know.

I spent a lot of time circa 2009/2010 teaching myself Ada for similar reasons. I work in avionics systems (or used to, present job is not) and Ada is grossly underutilized. I’d be willing to wager half the bugs that I saw make it to the testers or, worse, the field would not have happened if we’d used Ada (and used the type system properly).

And these days, using Spark, even more bugs could be detected before compilation even succeeds. But no one wanted to use it at any of my jobs, and that knowledge has mostly atrophied from disuse.
It's great, but we're very far from the os-agnostic seemless integrated files sharing.

You see, we have protocols like HTTP and the web relies on it, everyone agrees this is how the web works and all OSes have one or several browser able to access it.
Something similar works with emails.
Yet, we don't have anything to share files between computers, imagine something like bittorrent directly integrated to all OSes, letting you right click > send to.

Lowering tick size helps price discovery, but hurts open liquidity.

Is there some ideal constant average number of ticks between the bid and ask which optimizes this tradeoff given a desired state of liquidity and price discovery?
Why would it be? Rounding up is not a surhuman effort and if someone gets tricked by that they probably have bigger issues in life.
The problem is defined, but all of the proposed solutions don't seem fitting. When using a semaphore, it's usually for a reason. I think the solution with the least overhead and perhaps most idiomatic is to spin the found reading loop in a goroutine BEFORE you start any at all, and leaving the rest of the code as is. This prevents having x number of idling goroutines, where x can be billions(but not in this case). Though again, in this case, using a semaphore and perhaps goroutines at all seems spurious.
Because people will eventually build for 5G.

>Congress isn't the final authority of if laws are constitutional or not.

Actually, the legislative branch is the final authority on what is Constitutional or not. Who do you think proposes, passes, organizes Constitutional Conventions, and ratifies Amendments?

It certainly isn't the Courts. Heck, judicial review isn't even enshrined in the Constitution, It just arose spontaneously out of case law; and everyone has been okay with it by and large such that there hasn't been the will to pass a "no judicial review" Amendment.

I mean, it seems silly to talk about, but it is right there. Though yes, for the last 200 year's, the Supreme Court striking down something as unconstitutional has generally been accepted as burying something six feet under politically, because no one in their right mind wants to carry the mark of "The person who changed the Constitution just to invalidate a Supreme Court decision."

I think we also need to realize the difference between a "pretty" interface and a functional one.

I think it's possible to have something that's not ugly and yet not bloated to hell. It just depends on actually understanding UI design in a way that is universal to your audience. For instance, I doubt most people find pre-XP windows "Ugly", if anything a lot of us yearn for that era of interface.

> The one-liner and two-liner compile to the same number of instructions, so I don't see how either "avoids inconsistent state".

It's about performance, or thread safety, or anything like that; it's about having a coherent mental model of the code. A statement should, if possible, represent a single, complete operation. Invariants should not be violated by a statement, with respect to its environment. (This more true for 'push' than 'pop'.) One way of solving that is to bundle the 'push' and 'pop' operations up into functions; someone else in this thread did that. But why bother with the mental overhead of a function call when you could just represent the operation directly? To be sure, there are cases where the abstraction is warranted, but a two~three-line stack operation isn't abstraction, it's just indirection.

> For someone who doesn't have the operator precedence rules memorized, it isn't clear whether the above code means [snipped] or [snipped]

> The two-liner [...] requires less knowledge of operator precedence rules

It's not operator precedence—that's a separate issue; despite having implemented c operator precedence, I don't know all of them by heart—but simply behaviour of pre- and post-increment/decrement operations. It's even mnemonic—when the increment symbol goes before the thing being incremented, the increment happens first; else after—but even if not, it's a fairly basic language feature.

Even beyond that, though, it's an idiom. Code is not written in a vacuum. Patterns of pre- and post-increment fall into common use over time and become part of an established lexicon which is not specified anywhere. Natural language works the same way. Nothing wrong with that.
The numbers on chart 1 and chart 2 do not match at all, even though they are supposed to be the same, just with different scalings.

One has 2015 unit sales below 200 million, the other has it above 220 million.

one has the trend line drawn from 2016 and the other starting in 2015.

I think a good rule of thumb is to say, if the writer can't see that they made two completely different trend lines for the same thing, right next to each-other, there is probably a lot of things the writer did not notice in the numbers. Best not to spend time on their conclusions.

Staffing Agency vs. Direct Hires: The Opportunity Cost for Startup Founders
As a tech startup founder, should you hire directly or work with an IT staffing agency? As we’re about to show, hiring people takes a significant amount of time and effort. Moreover, beyond simply hiring, many tech startups report turnover rates of 25% or higher. Should the hiring effort be on you as your startup’s visionary and strategic driving force? One thing to consider is the opportunity cost of managing your hiring process or vetting an IT staffing agency.
Ugh, this is my life. Yes, including accusations of “hacking” when someone signed up for Facebook with my email.

On the plus side, this personal experience made me very adamant about protecting mistakenly-registered users at my employer. When we were planning to add logged in accounts to our service, the sales team (understandably!) wanted the signup process to be as frictionless as possible, and thought that new users should be able to start putting data into their account as soon as they registered. I insisted that we require email verification before allowing users to enter personal data. When I got resistance to my plan, I logged into my webmail and showed the team all the crazy email I got from people who’d mis-entered my address, and suddenly they understood. I wasn’t just inventing some bizarre, unlikely edge case: these things really happen, and often.

Edit: And as you might guess if you squint at my username, my name isn’t super common. It’s not unique on the planet, but it’s certainly not “Smith”. If I have to deal with all this, I bet the Smiths of the world find it nightmarish.

4G in my area is currently faster than my home internet on the Australian NBN. The killer feature seems to be not the fact that its faster but that it is shorter range so there is less congestion. If you live in a big city, 5g will bring 4g speeds that the suburbs experience.

And speed doesn't seem to be the limiting factor of mobile internet. Data caps are by far more restricting.
