If the US Federal Government decided to bomb San Francisco, I'm not sure who exactly would be able to render the consequences.

Parent is right, the law is abstract. Violence is absolute. If the largest dispenser of violence in human history decides to bomb San Francisco, they're going to do it, and it will be legal.
As far as I am aware, America hasn't had a legally declared war since WWII, and hasn't convicted anybody of treason since then either. Even the Rosenbergs, executed for espionage, weren't convicted of treason. It sure seems to me like in practice, it's not possible for an American to commit treason if there isn't a proper war on. Am I missing something?
> A part of a product I worked on was killed by the business and outsourced instead. I’m 100% sure this was in fact because of technical debt, even though my team members would disagree.

I've also had this experience, where a product accumulated so much tech debt (in part, due to my decisions) that it was simpler for the business to outsource the functionality. That wasn't the only reason, but it was a big one. When tech debt sand gets in the software delivery gears, the allure of vendors increases. Sure, the business won't get things exactly like they want them, but they won't have to deal with missed deadlines and degraded functionality either.
I have no clue why this would be downvoted. The Supreme Court upheld the decision to jail someone for ten years for making an anti-war speech, based on the Espionage Act, which is the ancestor of the act that prevents Snowden from receiving a fair trial.

According to the article, Debs' sentence was upheld because it was found that the intent of his message was prevent the war.

By the way, the activist that was sentenced to ten years in jail for arguing against war also got a million votes for the presidency, so this is a case of supression of political candidates because of their speech and political activity.

If you disagree, instead of just downvoting factual statements you disagree with, you should comment to correct them or state why they are in bad form.

Obama did not modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal. He promised to modernize it in exchange for Republican support in the Senate to pass the New START arms control deal. But he let the nuclear enterprise fall into such disrepair that a major scandal emerged in 2013, leading to a major DOD effort to repair the enterprise after a review in 2014: https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-19-29. He kicked the can down the road on modernization of the arsenal itself until the very tail end of his administration, so that it was up to Trump in 2017 to follow through on the promise Obama made back in 2010. All of this occurred after Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

A Perfect Planet

I don't know for sure, but I'm setting up an experiment this year where I irradiate cells with UV and try to use 5G radiation to jam the BER mechanism, which is one of the DNA error correcting systems. BER uses the charge state of DNA (https://www.pnas.org/content/100/22/12543) to help find thymine dimers, and 5G radiation is in just about the right frequency range to excite nuclear DNA and induce a current in DNA. I would be looking for a higher rate of mutation in the UV + 5G case over UV control, and no effect in 5G / control without UV.

What is interesting about this experiment is that 1) it's easy. 2) you would never detect this using normal procedures to assess mutagenicity, because normal techniques assume that the harm comes from direct mutation effect of the radiation; in this case the harm (if it is there) would come as a secondary effect, by inhibitng proper repair in the presence of a previous insult. Moreover, typical lab experiments (rightly) attempt to reduce outside effects (especially mutagens), so it's less likely it would have been discovered by accident.

Incidentally I'm sick and tired of people saying "it's non-ionizing and therefore not dangerous". This is a very reductive statement that belies a complete lack of understanding of biophysical chemistry.
And the nations which are overtaking us - Taiwan, Korea, Japan, China - are the complete opposite of diverse. Perhaps diversity is not our strength?

I think your friend could use some help and positive encouragement. This kind of scenario has not played out in previous famines. They are not exactly rare events in history. People would do what they could and make the best of what they have, as we have always done. Our knowledge and technology are also going to help us feed ourselves and if you need any proof of that just look at the marvelous vaccine work that has occurred in less than a year.
Per Wikipedia:

> In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released.

In most of your scenarios, e.g. "pushed to some queue", the object in question is still needed. Hence, this is not a leak. Presumably, the entry will eventually be removed from the queue, and GC will then reclaim the object.

At any rate, I think we're moving past the point of productive discussion. My experience in practice is that memory leaks are more common / harder to avoid in non-GC languages. Of course a true memory leak (per the definition above) is possible in a GC language, but I just don't see it much in practice. Perhaps your experience is different.
I’ve heard the term “minimum knowledge increment” used as a measuring unit for papers. Dice whatever research you have into papers that contribute the minimum necessary for publication. Dicing may only produce 1 paper, good enough yet meager.
It seems to me that if we are going to go with that approach then we would need to start actually declaring wars again.
> elegant foundation for computation.

-1, 0, +1 has as elegant symmetry that will inspire fascination until either someone can prove its inferiority with some heretofore unimagined model of computing or someone builds a clearly superior device based on it. I strongly doubt such a device is possible with contemporary two dimensional etched semiconductors; too many people have been torturing conventional mosfet circuits for too many decades to think they've left much on the table. But who knows what the future will deliver? Maybe we'll start computing with proteins next year and somehow 3 (or more) levels will make sense.
Why Chimpanzees Don’t Hold Elections: The Power of Social Reality
Legally, since the US didn't declare war, he has an argument for this not to be treason. It's part of the issue when you start doing things outside of the law, it becomes difficult or impossible for administrations in the future to do things legally, and it tends to get worse from there.

Poets Use Punctuation as a Superpower and a Secret Weapon
You seem to operate under assumption that Google maps have great data or UI. They don't have either.

Google maps may or may not be good for road travel, I don't know. I don't drive. They certainly seem to suck for public transport planning because of silently added walking times that you can't turn off, and overcomplicated 3D-chess like UI, that's hard to navigate and automatically jumps around the map for no really discernible reason.

On a recent holiday, I had to constantly switch between gmaps and one other app with better actual mapping data/display (just because one has better public transport data, and the other is better at actually being a map - having things like a scale!, or contour lines).

A lot of walking/cycling tracks were just not there in gmaps at all, nevermind the washed out display style of the map tiles and lack of clearly visually defined features you typically orient yourself by when walking, like houses, or other important things you need when planning a walk, like contour lines. Or let alone a scale for quick orientation on how far something is at the current zoom level.

All they really have going for them at this point for me is public transport data (not the UI though).

A case in point:

> anyone can theorize an abstract machine where every discrete "tick" of time will perform a ternary operation in constant time, that doesn't mean such a machine can be efficiently reified if you move it out of the realm of abstraction.

One can definitely create a circuit which will perform a ternary operation in a (some) constant time. It is not hard, and people have done this before [0]. The real question is: can you make a ternary computer which is somehow better (faster, power efficient, cheaper, etc...) than a binary one? But to answer this you need to talk MOSFETS, voltage levels, gate charge, and current tecnhology capabilities. Shannon and Von-Neumann won't help you here.

> Obama’s Nobel prize was most certainly a “congratulations on not being Bush” prize.

Except his legacy is arguably worse. Extrajudicial assassinations, the return of open-air slave markets, the deliberate overthrow of middle east governments that created the power vaccuum filled by ISIL, the inadvertant arming of ISIL through the deliberate arming of Jihadists in Syria (which is an ongoing civil war today)...

Edit: Just to add. Bush (really Dick Cheyney) expanded the power of the Executive with the approval of Congress. Cheyney is a monster who saw 9/11 as a chance to consolidate executive power to the detriment of his rivals and enemies.

Obama extended the power of the Executive largely through legal scheming of the DOJ, the courts abdicating their responsibility, labelling everything under the sun as "state secrets", and ruthlessly destroying the lives of whistleblowers. In fact, when using the secret courts set up by the Bush administration, Obama's still violated and exceeded its authority 5% of the time.

There's clearly one of these that looks more dictatorial than the other and it's not the answer most people want.
The narrative I remember is that Bush was an illiterate chimpanzee who was a puppet of Dick Cheney, the mastermind.

The original case which was agreed with by the supreme court does have valid points.

A warzone, regardless of if you believe in the war or not, is still a warzone.

I don't like how the defense attorneys are trying to say its the same if someone was in a parking lot in the US or in Syria.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's just not the same.
I think there exist objective standards of good argumentation, and any viewpoint that makes an honest attempt to abide by said standards should get a fair hearing, despite what people may think about the conclusion and consequences. Much of today's status quo exists precisely due to that liberty, so for the status quo to turn around and deny it to others they dislike is extremely hypocritical.

As a concrete example, let's stick with YEC. There are very successful scientists with credentials from top institutions that believe the evidence supports the YEC position. They argue for YEC not for religious reasons, but for honest intellectual reasons. It is worth giving such arguments a fair hearing, regardless of whether they are flawed.
Do you realize that those 2 are basically the same thing, right? High income people creating a cost barrier to low income people to live isolated from them.

Nobody complains about gentrification because some hipsters moved to neighborhood, or even because they opened one of those atrocious coffee shops. The main complain is that the, intended or not, result is that low-income people, the people more at risk in the country are thus driven away from historical neighborhoods and pushed more and more to the margins (both literal and figurative) of society.

BTW, some ironic thing I've noticed is that many people will retort with "Well, that's how the economy works, supply and demand and all of that, besides, the original owners of the properties will make bank", but when the same dynamics is done to them by rich foreigners buying houses in western cities and driving the prices to the sky they scream murder.

How to Hack “Action Blocked” on Instagram
This article and the HN thread were two of the most informative and entertaining things I've read in a while. And it led to some immediate action. I deleted Instagram (the only social media app I had) and I deleted or unpinned the browsers. I already had all notifications turned off. Honestly, if you're going to do just one thing do that. My friends who haven't honestly look like Pavlov's dogs.

For HN, I use 'noprocast' with maxvisit at 10 and minaway at 160. HN has become the home page of the internet for me. Is both entertaining and informative and therefore very addictive.
Yeah, this is one downfall of these tools, they amplify the risk of corruption unless you take additional redundancy measures.
It's not actually a declared war, so no, not a warzone. In any case, the argument isn't reliant on that, it's sufficient that the name is on a secret kill list, no matter the reason for the argument to follow logically.
> The snapshots are all made to tmpfs so hopefully does not measure delays introduced by the network or disk activity.

This by itself would make an interesting benchmark. In the previous company that I worked for, there was a customer who used Veeam Backup to a disk backed by Ceph, in an 8+3 erasure-coded pool. And they were complaining to us about disk space overuse by Ceph and poor performance. We traced that to the fact that Veeam uses 128KB transfer size (too small) and excessive fsyncs.
> Pulumi literally uses Terraform's custom providers as its dependencies under the hood to make this work.

Right but you can see that the interface is easier as a custom resource though right? The Pulumi docs on making a custom resource are just extending a class. Making a good one I'm sure is fraught with peril but it's so much easier than trying to extend terraform as far as I can see, I'm glad that Pulumi has done this for me.
