> Kavanaugh and especially Gorsuch are two you want on the court in this case.

What makes you say that? From what I can tell, Gorsuch doesn't seem keen on limiting law enforcement powers at all. Kavanaugh is a bit of a wild card, but I'd be curious to hear times when he's agreed on limited police powers.

> The new rule the Court seems to formulate puts needed, reasonable, accepted, lawful, and congressionally authorized criminal investigations at serious risk in serious cases, often when law enforcement seeks to prevent the threat of violent crimes. And it places undue restrictions on the lawful and necessary enforcement powers exercised not only by the Federal Government, but also by law enforcement in every State and locality throughout the Nation.

"Sir, your Publication on the many Causes of War is most interesting; but I notised that in all the course of your Text ye made not a single Reference to our Lord, who is of course resposible for all things. I can only then assume that such a lack of References reveal ye as 1) ignorant of God and Christ which as an Englishman I can hardly believe of ye; 2) a heretic, such as a Catholic or even a Jew; or perhaps even worse 3) an Atheist, may God forgive me for uttering the Word."

True, but I don't think you can keep the volunteers if you're in maintenance mode. The scale of volunteers needed requires some responsiveness, some support.

I wouldn't necessarily use the phrase "extreme memory". When you have a lot of experience in a sport, you start to recognize (and create new) patterns which make recall easier. Otherwise known as strategies and tactics. Lebron is recounting a structured offense versus a structured defense. A lot of the "memorization" occurs weeks or months before the play itself.

You're simplifying out that electric consumption varies during the day.
Companies pay the prevailing wage in whatever labor market they participate in.

Well, yes, but the topic under discussion is whether the market is "developers that can commute to the local office" or "developers they can work on that timezone" or "developers anywhere," which all have different implications for the market clearing rate.
Also most downtime for nuclear power is scheduled which helps the grid operator avoid blackouts.
So it's good for rich people who could be satisfied by a 12 year old dell but whom would like to display their status by spending 1000 to have the appropriate brand on the device they barely use?
The Third-Party Doctrine is about the ability to compel third parties to turn over information they hold on others. They don't need to resort to that when they can just buy the data on the open market.

That would be a good example of a controversial scientific topic. If there is still money on the line with competing ideas, different persons or groups of interest will try to manipulate the information to their favor. What is sacrificed in the process is the strive for factual information and the scientific process.
I wouldn't know- I ask my mom for Indian recipes, and she gets them from other Indian moms on YouTube. I use ATK for western food, especially southern food.
If done well, it could prove to me that I could trade the asset at my will, without the game's platform blessing.

I know people that play games to sell their gold for real money, against the platform blessing, risking getting banned.

I also imagine that generating a market for real money in a game is a legal PITA for game developers, and NFTs frees developers from any liability since they are not in charge of its trading, transactions are not in their database anymore and they have no power over them

Also the same NFT can be used in different games, no need to change anything from game developers, just reuse NFTs. On the other hand, in the database world of games, it requires specific integrations with a centralized database

It may not be precisely legal, but they're unlikely to suffer any repercussions if they do it anyway. Which amounts to the same thing in the end.
Interesting. The tradeoff is of course that the wider columns are the more you're able to see at once, which is also important for editing.

I wonder whether it would be useful to be able change the column width with a keyboard shortcut. That way you could use small columns when you want to focus on the details and bigger columns when you want to focus on the big picture, both in writing and reading.
Smart contracts are a very generic concept. NFTs are a smart contract design pattern. They typically employ standardized smart contracts (e.g. ERC-721, ERC-1155) so that services can be built to interface with any standard NFT contract. But it's also possible to make custom smart contracts to manage non-fungible digital assets.
> These functions can then be composed into a transformation pipeline instructions. Hamilton can then inspect this composition of functions and understand all of the inter-dependencies, effectively constructing a DAG that can be used to visualize what exactly the pipeline is doing

It isn't immediately obvious but that is exactly what Spark does - it builds a DAG out of your operations and only lazily executes what it has to when asked for a result. But on top of that, a tremendous amount of work has gone into auto-optimising that DAG execution so it can be very very smart while allowing relatively natural expression of queries and transformations at the top level. This is all going to have to be re-invented if you try and replace the DAG front end and just use spark's execution back end.
The federalist society which has hugely influential attorney and judicial membership believes in a textual interpretation of the constitution.

They wouldn't go for a sensible modern reading but instead stick to gospel like dogma on how it was intended to be read 250 years ago I guess.
By who? Someone not... French? I think you misunderstand both how difficult that would be to pull off and how much enriched uranium you would need for a bomb. Bombs and reactors don't use the same materials. Bombs use a shit ton more enriched materials. If you look back at that M2M page you'll notice how much highly enriched material was turned into unenriched (500 tonns -> 15000 tons, in case you didn't click). That's a pretty big differential.

I'm sorry, but you're just spreading FUD. There's a reason the Iran Deal is a fine deal. But I don't expect anyone to understand this without 1) reading the fucking thing and 2) actually understanding nuclear physics and reactor design (this should be rather unsurprising, but for some reason everyone thinks they are qualified on this matter). I suspect you don't meet either qualification, given your comment.
> Even FTP has been deprecated

Not everywhere. FTP-over-TLS is secure, standardised (RFC4217 as updated by RFC8996), and in some environments is still preferred to SFTP, particularly mainframe and minicomputer environments. FTP, due to its age, has a lot of "legacy" features which mean it can work better with non-POSIX filesystems used on mainframe and minicomputer systems than SFTP can. In principle you could add extensions to SFTP to improve its support for non-POSIX filesystems, but why bother when FTP already has very well-established support for that?

Another area in which FTP is still preferred is transfer of very large (multi-terabyte) scientific datasets. GridFTP has defined FTP extensions which permit these transfers, including encryption and striping of files across multiple connections and servers (so multiple servers can cooperate to simultaneously transfer different portions of an extremely large file). SFTP has no advantage for this application, and why bother redefining those extensions over SFTP when they work perfectly well over FTP? The main competitor to GridFTP is not SFTP, but rather proprietary solutions such as IBM Aspera. GridFTP actually supports SSH as a transport, but even then the file transfer protocol is based on FTP not the binary SFTP protocol.

Similar comments apply to TELNET. TELNET-over-TLS is secure, and still preferred in some IBM environments, because there are established protocols for passing 3270 and 5250 block mode terminal data streams over TELNET. Again, no reason in principle why you couldn't define similar protocol extensions for SSH, but why bother when TELNET works perfectly well for this application? And if you really want to use SSH instead of TLS as a transport/security layer, nothing stops you from tunnelling TELNET over SSH.
I am really glad to hear this. The first time I looked at housing costs in Montpellier I was astounded. I asked some of my EU friends and they said yup. City center is about the same as Nice apparently, and I consider that dirt cheap. It's not Paris, but... I could dig being near the sea again. Try getting anywhere as near the US Pacific coast, hahahaha.
and of course the sandbox is also third party code... uf... you now went from using 1 third party code party to two. good job.
Well that's a great point of discussion. My illustration was that you could spend all the same budget and actually have 10 staff and a bunch of real hardware on your balance sheet, instead of just an enormous AWS bill. That's staff that might bring real talent and innovation to your company. And real hardware that will serve you even through financial hard times.

Or you could spend half the budget and in my opinion still be way ahead, but that depends on your execution and the talent pool that's available to you of course.
https://you.com/search?q=stuff
You don't need the extension or sign up to use the search engine, just type into the search bar on the top of the page.

What is raising red flags for me is this part of the FAQ:

> How does You.com make money?
> We are currently focused on building the best possible search experience. We will explore monetization ideas in the future and look forward to your feedback in that process.

So they don't have a monetization strategy yet, and they expect you to sign up and install a browser extension? That's a recipe for disaster right there.

This looks promising, but until the monetization situation is figured out, I'm going to avoid giving them any access to my information.

Reminded me of the "Rules of Comfortable Measure", from The Elements of Typographic Style, quoted here:

http://webtypography.net/2.1.2

I always find myself fighting this on practically every website.

But it makes sense to me, that this should be something we think about in, well, most of our editors as well.

I debate about the measure of code, but I do find 100 to be a reasonable fit for most languages. The problem, is that I want code at 100, and then comments at 66. Oh well.
The fourth amendment doesn't address the case where people voluntarily provide information to a third party which contracts with the government to pass it on. It's indicative of the attitude we should have in the matter, but it's not basis enough for a legitimate Supreme Court opinion — not that that will prevent one being given, mind you. There really does need to be a law preventing government from contracting with private companies to provide confidential information without a warrant.
I feel your pain on that LG. I bought a Samsung washer & dryer, and within the first 18 months both broke. Fixed under warranty, and knock on wood still okay now. Consumer Reports rated them highly, but I won't ever buy another Samsung appliance (I have a Samsung fridge already, I should have known not to trust CR on the washer/dryer recommendation). Everything I've read says LG is basically just as bad as Samsung.

When these need replacing, I'm buying a speed queen.
See my other reply upthread. I agree that this change was designed to ensure a majority for the president. But the political landscape has changed lot since then, in ways that were difficult to foresee. It is not unimaginable to end up with an unpopular president elected by default, even as their party gets ~30% of the seats at the parliament. Then, the opposition has strong incentive to hammer out a coalition government.

The 5th republic is founded on the premise of strong parties. In 2002, the landscape has been dominated by a right-wing coalition (UDR, RPR, UMP and their satellites) and a left-wing one (SFIO, then PS) for half a century. The candidate of both mainstream blocks polling below 15% was very hard to imagine.

Coupling both presidential and legislative elections might not be enough to avoid further splintering in the future.
That's true, but we can still appreciate whistleblowers being courageous, even if their absolute level of courage might be lower than that of Assange and Snowden.
I went with PaperMC after I found vanilla server lags. PaperMC is "built for speed" and it seems to work fine even with couple people playing.

Additionally, I can write plugins for PaperMC which is the whole point of having the server in the first place (at least in our case).
I love your website but unfortunately you link to seriouseats recipes, which to me is the equivalent of quora for food. When searching online for recipes, I always "-seriouseats" or have the entire website in Firefox Block SERPs addon.
With the price of the egress being what AWS charges, such a split may still not make economical sense if it crossed a data-intensive boundary.

Also, with many customers also using AWS, much of the traffic may not even leave a datacenter, improving speed, reliability, and maybe even cost.
"I've never ever got my driving licence because of the absolutely paralysing number of choices. How ever do you decide on which car to drive?"

Nobody is forcing anybody which OS to use. If Windows is your choice, go to it. That's great for you.

When it comes to drivers, don't complain about Linux, complain to the hardware vendors instead for their laziness in not supplying suitable drivers for their own hardware.

Most Linux users choose their hardware to suit Linux, not the other way around. Consequently, "It just works".

Probably unpopular opinion : but how are things like these that Musk does w.r.t publicly held shares legal?
Excellent point. Peak electricity consumption occurs during the evenings when solar is producing little, if any, electricity. Daily fluctuations of electricity usage put an even greater demand on electricity storage.
> ye old faithful which i always preferred for production systems which was to rsync flatfiles out for maximum reliability.

This is the best way. The key is making sure that somewhere you're managing user ids, cause cleaning up after assigning the same uid to different users on different systems gets icky.
Musk just gave us a small demo of the impact of taxing unrealized capital gains.
In a functioning market for any other service, degree pricing would follow some sort of expected utility curve - students would only be willing to pay for thier expected value of the degree.

But, student loans dont behave like standard loans, the payoff of expected utility is a long way down the track, and Universities cultivate/market these intangibles like prestige and networking as a justification for the higher prices.
When are you retiring so we can see some games? :-)
In democratic countries, the answer to the question of "do we want a little pain before the elections or a lot of pain down the road?" is quite clear - if you accept the pain now, you'll get voted out and get replaced by someone who will proclaim that the pain isn't needed, promise to undo your measures and kick the problem even further down the road to some other future government.
The difficult part is deciding on the definition of the concept, not picking the name of the concept. There are lots of different terms and concepts you could be using to categorize types of science, but most of them probably don't match what you care about.
> IMHO, it's quite sensible to not allow people to edit pages about themselves, because people tend to have a strong-well understood biases on that topic.

Ok that sounds reasonable. But what if blatant falsehoods are written on a person on wikipedia? There is no way to rectify that information as far as I heard, probably only the legal way, suing for libel, with uncertain outcome facing a multimillion dollar company and the structure of semi-anonymous unpaid writers.
Pam is one of my least favorite characters from the office. She isn't funny, she just causes drama and cries all the time, and on top of that is pretty manipulative, awkward and unpleasant. Once the show starts doubling down on Pam & Jim, around season 5, the show takes a huge dive.

Seasons 2-4 are pure gold, but season 5 and on is dog water.

A fun experiment is deliberately running sudo rm -rf / on a decommissioned machine or throwaway virtual machine from a shell on it and then seeing what you still have access to. Bash has a surprising number of builtins and there are still things floating around under /proc.
That’s the complexity of race in the US though. Your average African American person’s ancestry contains a whole lot of European ancestors too; in many cases more European ones than African ones. Who counts as white and who doesn’t, and in what context?

We all have internalized white supremacy, regardless of our skin color. It’s just that the definition of “white” changes situationally (e.g. Italians weren’t considered “white” until the mid-1900s, rather they inhabited the “brown” space that south Asians and Hispanics currently do). But the internalized part is that we generally consider what is “white” to be the better outcome.
For anyone curious, usually down time is a month every 12-18 months. They refuel, do maintenance, and inspections during this time as well. Usually plants have more than one reactor, so these will be out of phase with one another.

When foreign actors commit such an act from outside the country, and their government isn't cooperative about stopping/punishing them, that's exactly the kind of thing intelligence agencies should be involved with.
I hear what you've posted about competing with a $2t competitor but I'm not installing an extension and changing default search engine just to try your service out. Even going incognito or using another browser is more effort than reasonable to play around. Put a banner at the top requesting the change but blocking users? That's just unfriendly and puts me off from the start.
I didn't like the pain, so I switched to a company that supports Linux on its hardware. I'd rather have the team do the system integration work for me rather than debug hardware I don't have the time or the specs for.

That's interesting to hear. I wonder if smaller, more savvy insurers will lead the way in establishing relevant standards and then be bought or copied by the big ones.
What puzzled me is how you feel layers of particularly COW operations combine to make a dramatic increase in write load.
I expect the whole block writing requirement of the SSD would be the major and finally unavoidable multiplier of its write load. Unless its blocks are small. There seems to be only a dramatic increase involved if one of the layers has dramatically larger blocks. There would be a middling chance of doubling writes between layers due to block misalignments and overlap, but that will not occur constantly and doubling is the worst case from misalignment. The most significant write multiplication throughout the layers should be the biggest block size as I imagine it.
> Solution is simple: end the occupation.

That is not an answer, might as well have just written "Free Palestine!"

I would be interested in hearing your real solution, instead of just repeating a slogan. Nobody has been able to figure it out for decades.
> having a hard cap of 100k unless enrolling in a high paid field ( Dr , Lawyer, anything that requires a state sanctioned license) would be a good idea.

I think you have a valid point, which probably got missed in the rest of your comment.

Why are student loans not tied to the value of the program, which determines their ability to pay? I cannot get a $100K loan for a Corolla nor can I get $5 million loan for a $500K home. So, why are students provided loans that are not tied to the income potential of their choice of program?

I believe once we do that, education cost will undergo a rebalancing.
What if people have one time use, per-site, encryption keys, then the connection to the site might not need TLS at all in the way it's used today.
The user's identify is clear enough to the server processes handling the user's messages, but looks like just any other user's messaging to a global listening entity.

Then we're down to just needing to solve PKI, which can be handled on a slower timescale than TLS connections where a large portion of the traffic is bots.

Sites could publish signed unencrypted manifests of their public content. If you have a login with extra access you would download a manifest for the non-public site, and like today, you could compare its contents between users to know if you get different active content than your colleague.
Misguided. This is IP authentication misusing PAM.
> … why can’t the government purchase information on the open market?

The most obvious answer would be that they're spending our money in a way which is contrary to our interests. If it were their own funds, and they had no powers beyond those of any other private citizen or organization, that would be one thing. But they're supposed to be acting on our behalf, in our interests rather than their own, and to many people this does not qualify.

Personally I would focus less on the fact that they've obtained this information and more on (a) the fact that this information is available on the market and (b) how they (and others) intend to use it.
So you want intelligence agencies to enforce the US criminal code?
