Wait, what chaos are you referring to? I'm simply stating that the right to bear arms is enshrined in the US Constitution and it's wrong that the Sheriff is acting as some kind of gatekeeper on who should be allowed to exercise their rights, beyond what is codified in law. That's all I'm really pointing out here, in line with the article posted here.

Frankly, we could definitely go into comparing other countries and how they handle this compared to the US, but this is an entirely different can of worms I can't really do justice here in an HN comments section.

I may suggest checking out /r/gunpolitics on reddit, or if you're aligned with liberal or leftist ideology, I strongly recommend /r/liberalgunowners and /r/SocialistRA for more information. I frequent those spaces often.

Finally, for all the news does to point out violent crimes committed with firearms, there are numerous defensive uses of guns that occur nearly every single day that slip under the radar. /r/dgu on reddit can show you some examples there.

I imagine the best placement is probably just about the middle of the dashboard, between where any airbags should go off. It would be something that could be jabbed by a blunt pole of any kind (the butt of a fireaxe pole for example) which would dislodge a connection between two points. That shouldn't be the main bus, but rather supply the power MOSFETs with the go bias current.
I'm pretty sure we know that, at this time, 6G is a marketing term and not a technical term. In that light, there can be no lie when China claim, in press releases and press conferences, to have launched the world's first 6G satellite.

I work in a library. I've learned though our ethics training that we can't accept cookies from patrons because that might be seen as bribery. There's a strange requirement to accept food: you have to eat it in front of the giver. So we can't take cookies, but the legislator can be fed by lobbyists.
You are still obsessing over the complexity of the major scale modes. The major scale modes. That's just the beginning for a pro player. Once you learn the modes and scales and arpeggios and pentatonics, then you have to learn (gasp!) songs and stuff, then you have to know your genre very well. You can get by with a MIDI transposing Ionian keyboard, but frankly that will look to everyone else like a crutch or enabling device for the less-abled. Unless you can make great music on it, in which case you will be in demand as a player.
The key language from the courts is "reasonable regulation" on the use of firearms. That's a bit vague, but "we've created a process to let you concealed carry, but we won't actually issue a permit to anyone" pretty obviously fails the "reasonableness" test. If the restriction was that concealed carry is flat out illegal, that might actually be more legally tenable than this discretionary nonsense in places like the Bay Area. Of course, CCW regulations that are clearly limited to safety and competence with firearms and limit the discretion of issuing officials are almost certainly compatible with the Constitution.

Just for the sake of comparison, the rule that was struck down in DC v. Heller (which firmly established that the Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for defense, subject to reasonable regulation by the state) required gun owners to keep their weapons "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" at all times.

It seems intuitive to me. If you looked at a calendar and typed the data, that’s what you’d end up with.
This is one reason why there should be no permitting, just unrestricted carry.
That seems a bit pedantic and a kinda negative, the whole thing read to me like a parody on the whole 'it's not a real machine unless someone's made doom run on it meme' and a homage to doom style games.

It didn't seem to me like it was taking a jab at modern games or anything too serious. Just someone having a bit of fun, bragging a bit and showing off their work.

Yeah, in a country where we require "face covering" not certified "face masks". Are people that cheap in the world's richest economy to not be able to afford buying a Level 3 surgical facemask for less than a dollar a piece?!

I love this technique. I can still remember memory palaces from over a decade ago with perfect clarity. It's amazing that when you work with the brain on what it's good at, such as geospatial awareness, or chunking (to cite another memory technique), what wondrous things we can do, in fields not just in memory but others as well. Work with the system, not against it.

Note that the method of loci might not work for people who have aphantasia, or the disability to not be able to visualize in the "mind's eye." It seems like whenever this is mentioned that people discover that they have it and can't believe that people can literally visualize in perfect clarity in their mind the same as looking out a window [0] [1].

But how much does it cost? How much will I need to pay for it, hourly on the cloud ?

And what's the perf/$ compared to GPU's ?
Is it me or does this article seem to be stretching the data to fit a recent popular narrative in the media? Maybe it is true but the presentation of the data is rather poor.

So property and rent prices grew in almost every region in the UK, including 4% sale price in already sky high London. But we're not told the volume of sales or it's comparison to previous periods, or whether this is median versus average sale price (very important if this is skewed by high end property sales). Nothing about population movement from urban to rural, just a quote from a realtor.

In a lockdown economy on hold, I would imagine average people would be more likely to reluctant to make big moves, while the wealthy continue to buy and sell, driving up prices. Not to mention the incredible amounts of cash pumped into the economy via stimulus and low interest rates.

Curbed published a good analysis on these headlines vs the data this summer, of course regarding the US.

Go-zero – A Go microservices development framework and code generation tool
After reading through @darzu's pluton explanation on the site linked, I realised this actually may give you the impression that it's a security measure, but in reality now Azure can verify each chip (not just the computer anymore) and see if it runs authentic software (ding ding ding - Windows Licensing). The two key pair method mentions that each devices can be verified to be running authentic software by azure (the phone home thing everyone is worried about). While most laptops and computers do not ship with keys anymore and instead the hardware generates some kind of signature that is then verified by windows activation, this feels like an easier method of doing that. I wonder if this also means Microsoft is aggressively going to make more and new hardware (or some Microsoft verified hardware kind of thing to setup standards) to directly compete with Apple Silicon and keep profits healthy by forcing more customers to pay for authentic software.
Lesson Learned: Restoring a Backup from Azure SQL Managed Instance to OnPrem
I have worked for a non-US company that was owned by a US company. I had to go through training and one of the courses was about bribery.

It was an absurd experience. The training material kept repeating that I absolutely could not bribe a non-US official. However, in my country ALL officials are non-US and bribery is also illegal so what were they trying to tell me with this "non-US" criterion?

The message I got from training course is that bribery is bad (I knew that), bribery is illegal (I knew that) but it's okay if I bribe a US official (really?).

Charlie Parker was on the stage as a young lad, just learning, and didn't know all his tunes that well. At a jazz jam session, Elvin Jones, the drummer, hearing Bird's lack of tune knowledge, was not amused and proceeded to throw a cymbal at him on stage and told him to get lost. Parker then went on to practice 12 hours a day until he mastered the literature, and he's become somewhat famous since then. Parker could have whined about how unfair the pro players were towards him, but he didn't, he went home and did his homework and came back and kicked everyone's ass. Not saying you need this level of determination, but a level of open mindedness would be a good start.

The idea behind that is that it makes mapping from url to action easier when trying to understand how things work.

E.g. `/Posts` maps to `PostsAction`. `/NewUser` maps to `NewUserAction`.

I think longterm urls don't matter that much anymore as many browsers just hide them completly (think Safari, many mobile browsers, etc.), so we optimize them for development purposes :)

I don't want to defend USB too heavily (as you say, it is certainly not "industrial grade," but I don't know what the equivalent of something simple and very strong like a Hubbell twist-lock connector would be in data transfer terms, and that's something to contemplate) but this really shouldn't happen with any halfway decent cables or hardware. It doesn't apply to the Raspberry Pi 4 in my experience, or any of my laptops or PCs. Phones and micro-USB are, of course, a special case and uniquely horrible.

Except when they weren't, and then you'd have to spend fifty bucks (whatever that equals in 2020 dollars) to test and see if the cable was what was failing you, or the termination, or the jumper settings...

- Comcast will impose a 1.2TB/month data cap for the remaining uncapped areas of their network starting January 2021.

- Currently uncapped areas are Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, and portions of Virginia and Ohio.

- January and February will be courtesy months where you are allowed to exceed the cap to acclimate to the change.

- Starting in March you will receive one courtesy month a year to exceed the cap without penalty.

- Overages are $10 for each additional block of 50GB, up to a maximum of $100 each month.

- An unlimited data option is available for an additional $30/month. Enrolling in December or January waives the $30/month fee until June 2021.

- Alternatively, for an additional $25/month the "xFi Complete" option will provide their modem/router and unlimited data. If enrolled in December or January the $14/month modem/router fee will be assessed immediately, but the remaining $11/month fee for unlimited data will be waived until June 2021.
This is incorrect. It's classified as a "grease payment", not a bribe. It's explicitly allowed under the FCPA.

You're talking as if Google is getting into your home and taking away your privacy.

A milkman knew where you lived, a plumber knows what your interiors looked like. You sacrifice your privacy for service.

Google is no different. You used their services in exchange for your information. It costs you nothing to not use these services.
Depends on how you define expensive. For starters it carries an enormous opportunity cost and associated risks. If you mean living on the street and depending on the generosity of others can be started with close to zero cash, you are absolutely right.

As a quick note, I appreciate the candor of your responses. And, I understand the sentiment you point out about a wallet not being worth another person's life. But sadly, not everyone necessarily will take your cash and dash. I'm really mostly focused on someone who is determined to leave you dead for one reason or another.

And of course, use of a gun, even defensively, should only be a last resort. I'm not advocating that everyone become Rambo and shoot their way through problems. Every action has a consequence, and whether you were justified in your shooting or not, the jury will decide that in their deliberation of the evidence.

I've saved a couple of lives before. I resuscitated one guy's breathing after he'd choked on his own vomit behind a speaker at an open air concert. I only saw him because I like to stand behind the speakers where it isn't as loud.

It sure was nasty having to give mouth to mouth without a membrane, but the lifesaving training[0] I did as a kid didn't even mention them. Anyway, I got the guy breathing and instructed others to get the medics and got some antiseptic for my hands, since I had to remove the vomit from his mouth with them, but unfortunately there was no mouthwash available. I'd do it again, but if there is any story out there for you to realize the benefit of mouth to mouth membranes this is it.

This might be a problem with Haskell, since the majority of Haskell jobs I've seen (and had) are backend engineering jobs in support of web application and somewhat complex backend services layer. YMMV.

I work with a couple people who have transitioned into Haskell, from other dev positions. The usual pattern is that they are in a BE role in a related technology (kotlin, scheme, scala, scala), and have made open source contributions.
I would recommend reading through "Haskell From First Principles", and getting comfortable with everything in there.

> It's not particularly practical to build a DRM scheme out of a Trusted Platform Module ... What they're looking to do is carve out space in Ring 3 that Ring 0 can't touch.

Which is precisely what you would want if you were building a DRM scheme - you just aren't being imaginative enough. It's always important to keep in mind that bad actors are typically just as smart and capable as you are.

User hostile practices across the board benefit greatly from the ability to attest to the precise combination of binaries that were booted. Locked down devices are built upon that foundation - no custom ROMs, no jailbreaks, walled garden app stores, and DRM.

Unfortunately, those capabilities are a fundamental building block for securing devices in general. The same technology that can be used by an abusive manufacturer, publisher, or government to secure a device against the user can also be used by the user to secure the device against others. The key difference is in who holds the keys for the root of trust.

(To that end, some modern secure boot implementations manage to get this bit right by allowing you to specify your own set of public keys before locking down the UEFI interface with a password.)
