I had corporate training, annually, that said to do the exact opposite. We were not even allowed to give or accept innocuous gifts like tickets to a game without getting it approved by our legal department.
> who just happen to live in counties where CCW’s are easily approved.

I wonder what the legal implications of "moving for CCW" would look like. In Florida, you just have to notify the state that you moved... do a little scoot to the right county, get the CCW, move back.

This could be a hot fangled startup, "GunCCW"... "move to where you get your rights". Wonder what the legal penalty for letting someone change their address to your house for a bit would look like.
You should be more careful and precise in your attempts to describe these things. Inverting the phase of a signal is entirely different than inverting the signal. Time-reversed signals are not the same as phase-reversed signals.
MMU Virtualization via Intel EPT: Technical Details
Sure, this is why I have almost no IoT things. The only thing I can think of is my scale.

I'm curious if you have suggestions for a hackable home automation/IoT hub that I can use without giving it access to the internet. I'm happy to DIY anything that doesn't deal with mains voltage.
Please explain how this same scenario would work under a shall-issue scheme?

Edit: Since you wouldn't respond... denying a permit under a shall-issue scheme would require proof that they didn't meet the statutory requirements instead of providing the issuer with the ability to hide their reason behind an arbitrary excuse.
Yes, and if Apple were a regular private citizen, I'd feel very sympathetic towards them here, but in this case Apple is basically the most powerful possible other party in a blackmail attempt imaginable. They're a $2 trillion company whose employees make up a significant section of the population of that area, including something like 500 full time lawyers.
Not all of California, Orange county gives them out slowly but more fairly, they are underfunded for that department so it takes quite some time due to demand.

The State or the Feds don't issue CCWs in California. Chief local law enforcement officers only, which means sheriffs and police chiefs.

There already is a filibuster so to pass legislation in the senate the majority needs 60 votes. The only exception is budget reconciliation which was why both the Affordable Care Act and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were both part of the filibuster exempt budget process.

"That is illegal according to US law."

Yeah, my wife has used some triptan-class drug (sumatriptan) for migraines for years.
Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense!

Although this seems nice, I don't think it actually solves the bigger problem (if there actually is such a problem in the first place). You can not wear a label everywhere you go with your preferred pronoun, this would lead to people stuffing their bios with all their genes, preferences and believes (eg. gender, race, religion, political view, etc.).

The actual problems are:

1) People assuming someone's gender.

2) People getting upset when their gender is incorrectly assumed.

3) Not having a well established social protocol to ask someone their gender without one or both of the parties feeling uncomfortable.

4) In my opinion it further emphasizes that gender is something really important, that should be mentioned immediately as it changes the way you look at someone. I think the correct progressive way of thinking is to disregard gender entirely and assume everyone is "genderless" unless it actually matters. Does it really matter if he is a he or a she? Does it matter that much if a stranger on the internet uses the wrong pronoun?

5) Same issue applies for all other previously mentioned characteristics of an individual (race, religion, political views, etc.).
You’ve got it backwards. Instances where they do leave evidence are the exception, not the norm. Which is why the anti discrimination laws are somewhat toothless and the government tries to look for statistical evidence of discrimination.

Ferros is one of the open-source devs who make a huge amount of open-source work, but rather than spread the glory and share ownership, he instead complains that they have too much work and start to try commercialise their work. He ended up trying various experiments to fund his open-source work, one including selling terminal space when installing npm packages.

"This was due to a project funding that was created by Feross, one of the StandardJS maintainers. The idea behind Funding is that companies buy ad space in people’s terminals, and the Funding project then shares its profits with open-source projects who signed-up to show the ads." - https://dev.to/adriansandu/npm-bans-terminal-ads-and-mozilla...

My point is that he could have a normal job, but he got lucky with a few projects and then built a life around the kudos from open-source projects (like Nintendo's endorcement).
Yeah totally, completely agree.

One of the things C and Modern idiomatic C++ (using C++11 on) have in common is some part of the culture surrounding them having a tolerance for, if not liking of, macho arrogance. "If you got burned it's purely because you're stupid and lazy which I am not, ha ha." This kind of vibe. Not everywhere by any means, but it exists and it's destructive to sensible analysis and the writing of good quality software, while alienating some talent from the pool of potential colleagues. I strongly dislike it.
Sheriffs are locally elected.
> The result is zero if the signals are orthogonal (like the dot product of two vectors in 2D or 3D that are at 90 degrees).

Here is a bit more rambling in the direction of linear algebra and probability: you can define a vector space on the set of all random variables, wherein each random variable is a vector. Once you do so, you can further impose an inner product space with the traditional covariance function as the inner product. If the two random variables are orthogonal with respect to this inner product and this space, by definition their covariance is equal to 0. It follows by the definition of correlation from covariance that their correlation will also be 0, i.e. orthogonality implies two variables are uncorrelated in this space :)

Strictly speaking the correlation function is not the inner product in this instance, but practically the result is the same.
I trust Mozilla way less than Google. They've never pulled a Mr. Robot (3rd party advertisement integration) or a Pocket (forced 3rd party extension integration) on me like Mozilla has. There are way more eyeballs on Google, so if they do something that I don't like - I'll know about it and how to fix it or work around it. I also don't like Mozilla's culture of political ideology at all. Finally, they had the swing vote for getting rid of WebSQL and they pushed that freaking piece of crap IndexedDB instead (among other bad decisions).

Beyond that, there are lots of things about Firefox that just annoy me. Off the top of my head - The search box being on the bottom and taking up the whole horizontal width of the view box, the inconsistent menus (context menu sub-menus fly out on hover, the program menu sub-menus do not), the boxy design and the native title bar which results in less vertical space. They only thing I'd want from Firefox would be containers - but I just use separate Chrome profiles to get the same effect.

I'm also a developer and I vastly prefer to use, test with and develop against something from the Chromium/Blink/WebKit lineage over Gecko. I want a mono-culture and to that end, I basically only test with Chrome and Safari. Everybody else can either keep up or die (or fork Chromium, customize it and maintain that). There's absolutely no problem with every Linux distro using the Linux kernel mono-culture, so why would there be a problem with a common browser engine/infrastructure mono-culture?

If I have to switch, I'd much rather go with something like Vivaldi or Brave. I doubt it will come to that though as I will probably only have to pause Chrome updates for a brief time while new extensions come out to keep blocking ads. The Manifest v3 limitation is in the number of rules (30k per extension) so I bet that each filter-list will just be it's own extension. There is no limitation on cosmetic filtering via injected JS.
Oh, cool. I don't see it being used anywhere though, apart from being available as a system activation function?

In Guix grafts are used rather extensively, mainly for security updates, but also command-line transformations such as "--with-debug-info".
> “Call this quid pro quo, call it pay to play, call it give to get—it is illegal,” Rosen said. “It is illegal and it deeply erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system..."

To be completely fair, events in the course of this year have shown that the criminal justice system wasn't that trustworthy to begin with. I don't think there's a lot of confidence left to lose at this point.
from the article:

> Powering down the Pi

If you want, and you still have WiFi enabled, or the Pi is otherwise connected to your network, you can log into it via SSH and run sudo shutdown now to power it off cleanly.

But I like living on the edge... it's not like the thing is writing a ton of data to the microSD card. When I'm finished using it as a webcam, I just unplug it. Simple as that.

If, for some strange reason, it did end up getting corrupted, I could just re-run this automation to set it up again. No big deal! I haven't had that happen yet, though.

################

If you want to do this you can tune ext4fs to flush writes to disk more often, which does have a small impact on disk performance (a moot point on something using a microsd card for a / partition, really, and on the anemic cpu performance of a pi zero w).

if you google "ext4fs power loss flush writes" you'll find some other references to making an ext4 system slightly more resilient to being abruptly powered off.

https://lwn.net/Articles/322823/

One possible solution is, of course, to just run ext3. Another is to shorten the system's writeback time, which is stored in a couple of sysctl variables:

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

The first of these variables (dirty_expire_centiseconds) controls how long written data can sit in the page cache before it's considered "expired" and queued to be written to disk; it defaults to 30 seconds. The value of dirty_writeback_centiseconds (5 seconds, default) controls how often the pdflush process wakes up to actually flush expired data to disk. Lowering these values will cause the system to flush data to disk more aggressively, with a cost in the form of reduced performance.
It's nice to see this getting more attention.

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch. It's the first new console I bought since the Playstation 2. I only bought it after seeing a friend's indie games library, and seeing that the Switch actually has a pretty decent library of reasonably sized games. This is after a year or two of having written this console off, too, based more or less entirely on people I know talking about Breath of the Wild's epic size.

(The first games I bought for it were Untitled Goose Game and Curse of the Obra Dinn. I was not disappointed.)

It's not to say that there's anything inherently wrong with games being big. But it's always seemed to me that most big games end up being big because the game designers didn't (or weren't allowed to) stop when they were done. And I'm sort of "once bitten, twice shy" about it. Since games tend to front load all their best ideas, you've got to invest many hours into a game before you find out if it's going to sag out. Games reviewers certainly won't tell you, except in cases where it's really bad. I assume because the only people who could stand to review AAA games for a living nowadays are people who don't mind this sort of thing.
Agreed on the role in a good-faith process: “this is the thing we all signed off on”.

Our loop is around whether or not we can establish who the “we” was. The original commenter was making a statement about the purpose of a signature and I was stating a disagreement with that purpose. At very best, we need to recognize multiple purposes. But since contracts all come down to what is supported by a court of law, it needs to be the right signature. If you’re saying the presence of a signature is all that is necessary, it’s perfectly fine for you to create a contract in which I pay you money and assign some mark that says I agreed to it. But you better be a decent forger then. Some of the ritual elements are in place to protect against bad faith.
Unconscionable that Constitutional rights that belong to all Americans are basically paywalled by Sheriffs.
You are spreading misinformation here.

In many countries everyone has to pay a facilitation fee (aka bribe) for routine govt actions.

These are for things like:

obtaining permits, licenses, or other official
documents to qualify a person to do business in a foreign country;
processing governmental papers, such as visas
and work orders; providing police protection, mail pickup and
delivery, or scheduling inspections associated
with contract performance or inspections
related to transit of goods across country;
providing phone service, power and water
supply, loading and unloading cargo, or
protecting perishable products or commodities
from deterioration; etc

How in the WORLD to folks giving legal advice here not have even this basic understanding of the law?
There's a difference between a bribe to win a contract or similar vs. the case where you feel in danger - e.g. you come across a roadblock in rural Mexico and an armed official wants a "clear up your paperwork" payoff to let you pass. That's the scenario the training covers.
Bay Area Sheriffs withhold a constitutional right in the issuance of permits, which results in something of value being created that they can hold for political or financial favor.

Even if you disagree with concealed carry, 2/3 of the counties in CA will issue you a permit no problem that allows you to carry statewide. There is no reasonable argument for not issuing permits here.
Agreed, this makes 0 sense to me. There should be an explicit list of reasons for which police should be able to deny these permits, and the police should have to show their evidence as to why they believe one of these reasons apply.
True. I guess I don't know why they'd need a license at all to do that, since I think Apple can allow people to carry within its own buildings however they'd like.
encrypted video stream? you mean to encrypt the stream itself?

raspbian has support and packages for everything you could do with openvpn on a normal debian system, so you can totally build a point to point openvpn tunnel for traffic if that will suit your needs.

if all you want to do is upload image files you can script it with ssh public/private key auth and something like rsync/sftp/scp
They're being charged because it looks like they accepted a bribe, not because they refused a permit. If they hadn't paid there'd be nothing to charge them with.
What would be less weird (and why)?
> A grand jury has issued a pair of indictments accusing Apple’s head of global security, two high-ranking officials from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and a local business owner of exchanging bribes for concealed gun permits.

Hah! There actually isn't any other way to get a CCW permit in most of Northern California, let alone Santa Clara County. It's basically a racket under the guise of gun control. See this article from last year[1] and this youtuber[2] who tried to chronicle the process.

> The Santa Clara County sheriff’s system for granting concealed weapons permits is so inconsistent — and the record-keeping so fragmented — that it is difficult to discern any public-safety rationale behind a process the District Attorney’s Office is investigating over allegations of political favoritism.

To apply for a CCW you need to show your life is in immediate and credible danger, and then wait... months for a permit approval that will probably never come. This state loves to make law-breakers out of good citizens. I'm really glad they're cracking down on the process, but it's the STATE and COUNTY LAW THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE! Not sending a few scabs to jail for playing the game they created.

I have it on good authority that all apple employees are trained to not pay any kind of bribes. Didn't realize that training would need to be applied in the states tho
The permit does not secure the weapons, it allows them to be carried in public. The weapons would have been secured separately.
I believe the key benefit of small games is not the minimalism or short duration, but the forced condensing of core gameplay. Essentially bundling the fun without the excess fluff. I've heard developers constantly note that features will be dropped and your favorite implementation will hit the chopping block when making games. In the case of small games, you're turning this idea into a feature. Finding what can be stripped away to focus on engagement. Not what massive world can I develop to creature a robust experience, but what bits of the world can I shave to make a fulling experience.

> I remember being amazed by the sophistication of the animations some Flash developers could put together using it and I always wondered if the tooling made it easier, or if somebody painstakingly drew cells one by one and then spliced them together with an otherwise relatively dumb video creator.

Flash/Flash Pro/Adobe Animate (it has been renamed now) is sophisticated animation software that just happened to have the flash plugin as one output format. A large number of cartoons for broadcast tv have been made in it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Flash_animated_televis...) and it still exists despite the demise of the flash plugin. It's definitely not just the same as splicing individual frames together.

>In what way is disparaging anyone who is a police officer because they are a police officer any different than disparaging anyone that is a lawyer because of the numerous negative stories about lawyers?

Yes, because lawyers aren't in charge of enforcing the law, and even if they weren't, there isn't some sort of "thin blue line" where they're covering for each other.
The Japanese Concentration Camps of America was pretty cool too.

That sounds oddly curious to how psilocybin resistance works. With mushrooms, you have to take the entire dose at the outset. As soon as you can feel it, you now have a strong resistance and any further dose will have a greatly diminished effect.
If the gift is to secure business this is likely true especially if the business relates to some govt or official of another country. Very strict there - you can't pay a bribe to get business or as part of business development.

However, if you need to pay a "facilitation fee" to exit the country (called routine govt action) that is not about securing business or getting a competitive advantage such as a customs waiver, then paying the fee may be permitted (for a number of reasons).

What I think US folks don't realize is some dept's overseas basically pay their staff through these unofficial fees, they set some rates for service, but nothing goes through treasury and no enabling legislation exists. But they also don't get money from their treasury to operate (or its stolen by folks above them) so that's how they keep operating.
All Jailbreaks need full kernel access, but I don't believe any of them have ever gained access to the secure enclave, and most aren't even persistent after a reboot.

Malware could probably use the same exploits, yes, but the exploits used for most Jailbreaks are pretty "noisy", and I have trouble imagining a situation where they could be used without the user's knowledge. It's certainly possible though.
