I provided three additional sources, not two, for a total of four.

The economic context has also changed a lot. In 2012 SF's total GDP was 350b, today it's 500b (a 40% increase). It shouldn't necessarily be that surprising that as the economy grows the government's spending does as well.

Using the word "convincing" in association with the Electoral College is a bit of a stretch (some would say ridiculous).

In 2016 Clinton was +2.9M votes, but 77K were in the "wrong" places (MI 10K; PA 44K; WI 23K) and so the minority candidate took the prize. Gore was +500K, but Bush got Florida by 537 votes, and that was the ball game.

Biden is +3.5M and things are still up in the air?

What a cockamamie system.
A container does not make restoring easier in the situation you have described.

The host for the containers still needs to be configured. That's where changes to NIC identifiers, etc. need to be handled.

In my situation, the host gets exactly the same configuration. The only things that care about the name of the NIC are a quick grep -r away in /etc/; 95% of everything will be up when I get the firewall script redone, and because that's properly parameterized, I only need to change the value of $IF_MAIN at the top.

> Isn't this textbook fair use?

Debatable. A good faith case can be made that its not.

> Nothing about these clips being shared on Twitter replaces the viewing experience of Cuties.

"Replacing the viewing experience" isn't necessary to be outside of fair use, and the work at issue is probably the trailer itself, not Cuties. Which matters a lot when you look at the "amount and substantiality" prong of fair use analysis.

> The tweets are definitely transformative and provide a critique of the film.

Sure, I don't think anyone would argue that the purpose prong of fair use is in dispute.

There is very little explicit about the "fair use" defense; even how the four prongs of the test interact isn't explicit.

Exactly. This is exactly what engineering is about, isn't it?

If any one thinks they're being smart/sneaky by googling to "cheat" in their take-home exams, I don't think they understand what exactly they're being tested on.

The three largest voting manufacturing companies — Election Systems &Software, Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic — have acknowledged they all put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners. The reason? So that unofficial election results can more quickly be relayed to the public. Those modems connect to cell phone networks, which, in turn, are connected to the internet.

The largest manufacturer of voting machines, ES&S, told NBC News their systems are protected by firewalls and are not on the “public internet.” But both Skoglund and Andrew Appel, a Princeton computer science professor and expert on elections, said such firewalls can and have been breached.

Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com) | Software Engineer (frontend, backend, full stack), Security Engineer, Product Manager | ALL REMOTE

Sourcegraph is building Universal Code Search so developers can focus on solving problems instead of struggling to find and understand code.

Sourcegraph search helps developers find and discover code by providing the ability to quickly search across all code using regular expressions and advanced filters. Sourcegraph code intelligence helps developers navigate and understand code by providing hover tooltips, go-to-definition, and find-references, when viewing code on Sourcegraph or on a code host (via our browser extension). Sourcegraph campaigns enable developers to fix and evolve code at scale by automating search-and-replace and running arbitrary tools across massive codebases.

This is true, and I agree. But this kind of "language-within-language" problem (regex within sh) comes up a lot when formulating grep and sed command lines.

Come to think of it, I think this is the most frequently-encountered class of "this line didn't do what I thought it would" type errors that I get as a near-daily user of (ba)sh for a few decades now.

Question for the group: When you encounter this kind of issue, e.g. the shell is stealing a single or double quote meant to be in the regex, do you diagnose the problem w/r/t the shell precedence rules for quotes and backslashes, or do you just blindly put the opposite type of quote around the whole thing and re-run?

Because probably half the time I use a basic blind strategy, and that's not usually how I approach programming errors!

Justice Department Seizes $1B of Bitcoin Tied to Silk Road Website
"If jobs are randomly coming in at the same speed that a worker can work, you will get a line. The lines can grow without bound, and the average length of the line is linear in the amount of time this has been going on. Therefore the amount of time spend waiting in line grows quadratically with how long this has been going on."

I don't think this is true, unless I'm misunderstanding your description. Do you mean if the work comes in faster than the worker can process it?

If work arrives at the same rate the worker can process it, the depth of the queue is a random walk starting at zero, with the restriction that it can never go below zero. I'm not sure how that behaves, but it definitely grows much less than linearly.

Python simulation code below:

import random

def random_walk(steps):
count = 0
max_count = 0
for step in range(steps):
if count > 0:
count -= 1
if random.random() > .5:
count += 2
max_count = max(count, max_count)
if step in [2 ** i for i in range(14)]:
print(f"step={step}, count={count}, max_count={max_count}")

for i in range(10):
random_walk(2**13 + 1)

That’s a leap. Voters aren’t that ideologically coherent. A voter can vote for Trump, approve of Trump and not believe his every word about the electoral system.

If anything, their voting for Trump implicitly endorsed it.
3. favors rote. But is cheaper and easier to grade.
Thank you for your answer!

It's true that "what is ethical? " would be just as good of a question and I would absolutely be interested to find out more answers to it. In my point of view and in this case, ethical means that our website should focus on facilitating our users to achieve the goal THEY set for themselves and we don't use any mechanism that is deceiving, hidden, makes use of human vulnerabilities to our benefit (or third parties benefits) or has consequences that the user has not intended.

An example to that would be with Facebook Pixel: users don't know it's there, will be benefiting a third party without consent and will further have consequences outside our website that most of the time users don't want. Therefore, I consider using it unethical.

I think relating to specific contexts, like websites in this discussion, ethics might be something more actionable and straightforward, helping people like us create environments that are more mindful towards our users.

In not sure if Google still used operational semantics for Docs, but that is not how operational semantics works. The theory allows you to take two quite different stacks of changes and interleave them in a consistent way. It does not rely on low latency or a centralized server. The choice of arbitrary tie breaker vs. manual resolution in the case of conflicts is an application domain choice not mandated by the theory. Obviously in the case of Docs the tie breaker makes more sense.
I think you're missing the point completely.

Start by supposing, for the sake of argument, that you think that grades matter. Like for example for determining access to scholarships or graduate programs. Also suppose, for the sake of argument, that some percentage of the students are going to cheat, and suppose that it matters to the aforementioned grades.

Also I'm assuming a distance-learning option, perhaps due to quarantine, but the question generalizes to other reasons.

How do options 1 and 2 do anything at all to fight the alleged cheating problem? Remote essays are very easy to cheat, just as easy as any other kind of remote exam. Anything take-home is even easier to cheat.

The parent commenter is simply claiming that cheating just doesn't happen enough to matter (at least not at Caltech, they claim). That's possible, I have no idea. But it's quite different from saying "remote exams are bad".

---

As for why professors administer exams, btw... a professor is going to spend such-and-such an amount of time on you and your class. Maybe it's 5 hours per week, maybe it's 20. Would you rather they invest that time into teaching, or marking? Speaking as a former student and a current teacher, I tend to prefer it be spent on teaching. If you agree that the teaching is more valuable then the marking, teachers should choose the least labour-demanding form of assessment, so they can get back to investing energy in teaching (and/or get back to other responsibilities). Exams are easier to grade than projects and essays. A professor who chooses exams is usually saying "marking is not a good use of my time". (A professor who chooses essays or projects is usually saying "marking is a teaching opportunity so I hate this but oh well").
>It does not change the fact that america is a divided country where the rural half has lost trust in the urban half of the country.

There is no "rural half" and "urban half." Trump's rural support is primarily from white voters, but his support among other demographics is far lower. Black people seem to be voting for Biden in droves this time, and not all of them are in cities. And per capita, the urban half is closer to 80% versus the rural 20%.

The narrative of "urban vs. rural" is populist propaganda, intended to imply that a solid half of the US supports Trump and that he represents the entirety of "rural" American identity, which isn't true.

In the short term. Long term, if you don't protect them while your trading partner does, it means your key industries will become foreign-owned, or simply bankrupt. After that, the idea of sovereignty, when you own none of your economy, is laughable.
> Punitive damages is a thing.

What is the cause of action here allowing damages, punitive or otherwise? Stating a copyright claim in a DMCA takedown notice based on a different reading of how the four factors of fair use, which the statute doesn't explicitly set standards for or any details on how they interact, differently than a court later interpreted them?

Sure, if the court viewed things your way Netflix would lose a copyright infringement case against you, but that's about it.

Right but it seems some machines are connected to the internet (seriously).

And it's probably easy in the firmware to check if you're being tested (ask Volkswagen). And even if it's not, you could write a firmware you could trigger with a specific ballot.

The bottom line is firmware for these things should and must be open so they can be audited by experts. And hackers must be given access to them so they can try to do their worst.

As long as you treat it as a black box, I'm afraid to say you aren't trusting the device, you are just having faith in it.

This does explain quite a bit! Although I'd assume there are economies of scale in running a city (or else they wouldn't exist in general).
Worse, you have to "apply for promotion" if you want to get promoted, and the decision is made by a remote committee of people who don't even know anything about what you did first hand - you have to beat your chest like an ape, and get endorsements from people a level or two up from where you are (which can be a big problem outside Mountain View, since there are fewer such people there). The whole process is utterly demeaning and demoralizing, especially if you're from cultures where beating one's chest is frowned upon (such as e.g. Russian).

You routinely see people do ridiculously awesome work and then get turned down for promo. You also routinely see people promoted who just sat in the meetings with the right people and took the credit for "launching" stuff. Major part of the reason why I left.

> You can see there's a big competing pattern of having multiple binaries with the same prefix

One could create an entire ecology of tools that operates as a sort of compromise: Have a family of separate programs named with a common prefix (e.g., foo-), and a dispatch program (foo) that, when run like

foo bar options

dispatches to foo-bar with the options, and when run like

foo [-h|--help]

prints a help message and then lists every foo- program on the PATH, incorporating the whatis output where available. (That last bit requires man pages to work, but you can't very well tell people to read a manual that doesn't exist.)

I have used this strategy at work with considerable success.
