Perhaps we could convene a panel of other citizens and have the police present enough evidence of guilt to allow it
So

1) Rent a car from Hertz
2) Drink drive
3) Car gets forfeited

Or

1) Rent a hotel room from IHG
2) Drug deal in room
3) Room gets forfeited

Or

1) Hire an EC2 instance from AWS
2) Use it to try to hack NASA
3) AWS datacentre is forfeited

Do I have that right? Or are there different rules for large organisations?
I just keep thinking about all the money I was wasting on things I never truly enjoyed but bought because they were convenient and available. A cup of mediocre coffee, an overpriced sandwich, clothes I wasn't particularly comfortable in, an evening snack, then ordering expensive and unhealthy dinner because you're too tired to cook.
Thank you, this was very illuminating!
> That's a huge part of why asset forfeiture is civil and based on 'presumption of guilt'. Remember, the only thing they every got a solid conviction on for Al Capone was Tax Evasion.

Now of course, the big part of why Capone could not be caught otherwise was corruption - cops and officials paid by Capone or trading favors. Making asset forfeiture available with little oversight gives it to hands of the same people eager to cooperate with Capone.

Had all cops and prosecutors and judges and jail workers bean ethical, we would not need oversight and simultaneously Capone would be caught sooner.

I am now motivated to set up local tooling that is as easy to use as online tooling. I've been nervous at times about pasting data, and usually triple-check first, but that itself takes time, and one day I might be in such a hurry I don't take it.

Better to establish good habits now.
At a previous job we made an argument for moving away from cfs and to look at only full core allocation, often pinning with NUMA. The speed up was noticeable, since it removed the cfs overhead and memory access was now local.

We then got stuck in discussions around partial core allocation. We didn’t have that many jobs configured to use less than a full core, but it did impact our container packing.

re: auto-pilot. My recent car purchase was almost solely on picking the best autopilot. Current day, short of the Super Cruise nothing compares. I read a lot of "it doesn't actually drive itself" but as of the last few months it literally goes onramp to offramp, handling all the merges and lane changes with zero intervention reliably.

I like your idea of webidentity. Is it only theoretical, or is there any sample code?

I have been thinking about the particular issue migrating identity too.

My thoughts are mostly around additional keys. Realistically, you have more than one device. You could associate (some or all of) them with an account. This, to me, feels like it's more inline with key based auth.

My other thought was something like the list of codes you have with other 2FA solutions.

I don't think we will ever eliminate passwords in the sense that a person will never need a password ever again, but I think the solutions above definitely get us to the point where we literally never need to share a password.
Here's the issue that lots of people fail to understand. Once it's figured out, a lot of fixes can happen.

The "Police" are departments of city/state politicians. "Sheriff" is an elected offices for a county.

The current dialogue of "the police are doing XYZ" is extremely stupid and unproductive. The reality, "mayors/councilmen/governors/politicians are telling police to do XYZ".

Within a county, the sheriff has the highest law enforcement jurisdiction below the US Marshal cowboying in and taking away their badges. They can even arrest FBI, ATF and ignore Fed requests in general (limitations to this, especially due to paperwork, but the legal right is there). This is why you get plenty of Sheriffs saying, "I and my deputies will not enforce XYZ law".

Why?

Because the Sheriff reports directly to "the people" of the county. He/she is an elected official. Sometimes, they're not even prior law enforcement. But they have a direct dialogue with their voter base (most of the time) because they have a rather direct cause/effect of their time in "office". Also why it's called a Sheriff's Office instead of department (when people know what they're doing... some states are weird/dumb).

The "police" report to the politicians of their jurisdiction.

When certain mayors say, "The police are doing naughty things"... dude... they're on the mayor's orders. The chief can be instantly booted out by the mayor. "It's a travesty that police are overly patrolling certain sectors". YOU APPROVE THE SECTORS AND MADE THE LAWS FOR THEM TO DO SO! "The cops shouldn't be funded through forfeiture/tickets/etc." The politicians are the ones who put that system in place! Police don't make laws, they enforce them according to their hiring governing body... their city/town.

Please, people of the USA, for the love of all things good, learn about your local politicians and vote. Quit this crap of these mayors acting surprised and shifting the blame to the police. The politicians are the ones telling them what to do. Stop being surprised and ignorant.

In the end, the public is to blame for, "Politicians have our best interests at heart if we don't pay attention to what they're doing." I don't care what party you belong to, it's your responsibility to keep a politician in check, no matter their party as well.
Pretty much. I use a mix of terminal and VS Code for development. Quite often I either don't have tools like json_verify, a hex/rgb code converter, jwt pretty printer, etc installed; or I can't remember what/how they're called. At which point its usually easier to slap it in a web search.

This is a good thread to ask: Who reads Homer in your country, and why?

I'm currently learning ancient Greek as my "Corona project": purely for fun, and mainly because I'm interested in Greek philosophy and culture.

That said, I feel a bit lonely in my country in pursuing this. Sweden has no strong history of classical studies. Some high schools may offer a course in latin, but it's getting more and more rare, and as far as I know there are not even courses in university because the interest is too low. I don't know anyone and I don't know _of_ anyone in Sweden who actually reads/knows the language.

When I talk to friends in the US, the UK and the Netherlands on the other hand, Greek and the classical Greek works (including Homer, of course) seems to be much more popular and also part of normal young adult education. One of my friends, an American in his late 20:s, had to read the Odessey in high school. My fiance from the Netherlands was offered either latin or greek in high school as well. Most of my textbooks in greek are written by American, English and Dutch authors. So these nations seem to have a stronger tradition in classics.

Can anyone care to elaborate the situation where you live? I'm very curious what motivates people to learn dead languages and read books thousands years old.

Any forfeiture law should state proceeds would go to a third party. Having the same party (police) that implements the law benefiting from it is just plain wrong.

It does prove it.

Here's what the police could have done instead.
Arrest the driver for "felony reckless driving".
Have the car impounded for the night.

Give her written instructions on how to reclaim her vehicle the next day.

There. You've made the roads safer. You've made the people safer. And you haven't stolen someone's property.

And you know what, yes, you should get eventually your gun back if it's loaned out and used to shoot someone (provided you didn't loan it out for the purpose of shooting someone).

The law doesn't have "some problems". It is a problem.
That was to be expected. Less stress in school, less bullying and so on. Interestingly, my anxiety has risen dramatically during the pandemic, because of the fear of job loss.
When I emailed mods to argue that the 'web' button should be restored[1], I was told by dang that he was actually considering removing 'hide' and 'favorite' too, because people rarely use those features. (I routinely use 'hide' but hardly ever use 'favorite'.)

Btw, 'favorite' may be lesser-known but it's certainly not hard to use.

Do you not just mock the singleton? I mean don't get me wrong, it has all the usual global variable downsides but I don't see too much a meaningful difference between every method passing around the same connection pool handle explicitly vs ambiently. And either you can mock the connection objects the singleton returns or you can't.

In most apps I've seen "services" like Redis/Rabbit/Memcache/Postgres/External APIs/Storage are cross-cutting concerns and you make your life a nightmare by having to pass

myfunc(actual, params, db, redis, memcache, rabbit,...)

because if you realize deep in your call stack you actually need data from Postgres now you have change all the callers recursively to pass the handle down. If you have this global "service catalog" it's almost always to eliminate the need for passing the same effectively global connection pools to hundreds of call-sites.

It is annoying that it makes every test require a bunch of ambient service mocks but you only really have to set it up once.

More important than security issues, you are building a chain of dependencies that likely is undesirable. The service goes away, and you have to change your workflow -- less likely to happen with local software. Also less likely to happen with open source software than commercial software.

What if countries similarly tracked their dependencies on other countries and foreign companies, rather than just their budget? There are some trade-offs where you want to avoid dependency even if it is more costly. Recent scandals with constructs of selling water sources and public infrastructure to lease it back cheaper, comes to mind.
Java is moving a lot faster now with the new 6 month release cadence but you don't need to follow every release. Sticking to LTS releases is fine for projects that require longevity.

Some projects are still using 8 and will be until their EOL date. New projects start on the latest LTS release (11).
For me, it's more about workflow than anything. Its much faster to run some json through `jq` than it is to reach for my mouse, switch to my browser, open a tab and google for json validator, try to find a decent one, then try to copy and paste a huge file over.

If you spend all your time in the browser anyway, it might be different for you.

I've read a few translations, and while I appreciate Wilson's clarity, I honestly found it pretty boring. My wife and I read it aloud and, compared to Fagles (which is my favorite), the words she chose often seemed to lend no emotional energy to the story. I'm not trying to dismiss your opinion at all, but I'd really like to know what I'm missing.
The two party system doesn't help either. The political spectrum encompasses enough nuance that a winner-take-all duopoly on candidate selection and orchestration is severely crippling the quality and variety of political inputs to the System.

To be honest, I'd almost prefer a neutral organization specialized in facilitating any political campaign to the System of Political parties we have now. If I have to hear "You have to vote Republican or Democrat or it's a wasted vote," again from people cavetching about the state of the political climate and situation in the U.S., and I may not continue to be so adept at not lashing back with a sharp-tongued response.

Until the Establishment on both major political parties come to terms with the fact that both of them can lose there will be no fundamental change in direction of politics.

I don't even count the pathetic excuse for statesmanship we're currently experiencing, because those are mainly differences in amplitude of already established patterns and tendencies rather than an appreciable shift in Qualitative policymaking.

This was my thought as well. What do people disagree about re the definition of 'git-based' wiki?

Do the purists who object to this (in a "Linus Torvalds' definition of git kind of way") fundamentally believe that there should be no central "origin" of any kind in a repo?

Sure, the main attraction in a DVCS is that everyone has a complete copy of the code and can pull branches or integrate changes from anyone else into their work, but eventually these changes have to 'land' somewhere and for most things, that's GitHub/GitLab/whatever other hosting service with git support.

^ This is - for practical purposes - my definition of origin.

> P/E ratios relate to the ROI possible with other investments.

Yes, but P/E ratios also relate to a lot of other factors, like human psychology

> It’s likely that as the world gains more wealth that wealth will face diminishing returns when generating more wealth.

Maybe, but my (outdated) understanding of the literature is that the equity risk premium has not decreased, even as the world has gotten a lot richer

> The simplest model to demonstrate this an a fund that extracts 1% of it’s value per year. Eventually it’s total returns hits the global GDP growth rate plus inflation. Theoretically stocks should have a lower P/E due to associated risks but eventually a P/E of 20 is very possible.

I don't understand this logic (could be right, I just don't follow it)
Automated detection of "transients" (anything that changes in the sky) will become increasingly important as large surveys vacuum up ever more data.

LSST is supposed to get going in 2022, imaging the entire visible sky every few days from the Atacama desert in Chile.[1] It's supposed to take a 3.2 Gigapixel image every 30 seconds or so, pretty much non-stop for 10 years. There will be tons of interesting transients hidden in that stream of data, and the key is flagging them as quickly as possible, so that other telescopes can do targeted follow-up. LSST itself is really the discovery machine, but it doesn't give much information about the transients it discovers. It just tells you that the transients are there, and that you should take a look.

Unless we're going to have a room full of people going through 120 3.2 Gigapixel images an hour, comparing them with reference images of the same part of the sky, we need algorithms to flag interesting transients. The algorithms should give us their guess of what sort of transient we're looking at (Type Ia supernova, Type IIb supernova, microlensing event, etc.) with "this is nothing like anything I've been trained on" possibly being the most interesting answer.

One of the big worries is that LSST will discover so many transients that there won't be enough resources to follow them all up. There probably aren't enough spectrographs installed worldwide to get a good spectrum of every transient. That makes it critical to automatically ranki transients by novelty or importance.

> "a full screen wysiwyg text editor called vi"

I guess the meaning of wysiwyg has changed a bit over the years.
> every line of code, that's it

Yes. And it's worth noting what's left out of that. Passing through every line of code is not the same thing as following all paths through the code.

Here's a sampling of code features where that distinction is particularly important:

- successive if-statements
- switch statements with fallthrough
- loops
- mutable variables with a large influence

The first two are because {{a}, {b}} ≠ {{a, b}}.

By that last one, I mean both mutable variables with a large scope, and mutable variables within objects that have a large scope. That's probably the trickiest thing, because, in the presence of mutability like that, it's not just which lines of code were executed that matters, it's also the order in which they were executed.

That doesn't strike me as a pretty picture. Overall, it implies that automated code coverage metrics are the least useful in the kinds of codebases where they are most desirable.
The last part made the most sense about "the ship has sailed" in terms of "buy low sell high" but there's so many sectors to dominate that Tesla is still going for and has a distinct approach/advantage for domination. Where's "high"? idk
It is rather common practice to encrypt the JWT that is presented to the browser which uses it as an opaque value. Pasting a decrypted token on a public site is then definitely a form of information disclosure. Whether it is exploitable or not is a different question.
