Given your repulsion, I'm going to assume that means you do think it would be the cop's fault. Why, though? The cop is within their right to stop someone they find to be doing bad things; and the person ignored requests to comply, so the cop needed to stop the danger they perceived. Maybe the kid's walkman looked like a gun. The cop was doing an extreme, but technically available, option for what they could do.

But your own "proper analogy" doesn't match either.

What's more accurate would be someone is arrested for stealing an iPod. They did, actually, steal that iPod. They go to jail, and then they're informed, from every angle, that the penalty for stealing the iPod was going to be 200 years in prison and 14 million dollars in fines. They'll also have a felony record, so even if they get let out on early release, they'll never have a job.

Their. Life. Is. Over. For iPod theft.

Of course, the law on the books says it'd be 1 year in prison, minimum, and $500 fine, minimum; but, this DA threw the book at them, and promised it would all stick. 200 years in prison, 14 million in fines.

This person knows, now, that, at best, they're going to have a year or two of their friends coming to see them, maybe once a month, in prison, and then they'll be forgotten about, to live alone forever.

Because it was an iPod, they won't be allowed to work any of the technical jobs, because they might break the law again, or something - some other baloney excuse.

They've also watched tons and tons of TV that show what prisons do to their gangly selves, and they're not ready for that, either. They know they'll be abused and harmed.

So they decide to protect themselves because this DA also has a history of winning cases they bring to the court, at the strength of penalty that the DA requests.

How is it not the DA's fault of over-prosecution?
> Would we blame that person's ex?

Yes, if their ex, old boss, etc. was a federal prosecutor that was going to lock them in a cage full of criminals.

I mean seriously: Imagine if some college kid was working at Subway and their boss was trying to lock them in the store’s basement, where they were keeping hundreds of criminals, and the kid’s only escape was death. Imagine if your sibling’s spouse forced them into a dungeon and your sibling killed themself. Would you blame your sibling or the wrongdoer?
Incidentally, just an hour ago I was setting up a mail server on a Digital Ocean droplet, and had to manually copy and paste 20+ DNS entries because Digital Ocean doesn't support zone file upload (only download). So, the zone file seems like a good enough solution if only everyone would use it.
Reads better without the first line.

(And yes, I often fight the temptation to insert a line such as that where it's richly deserved. Usually successfully. If I can't, I try to at least be creative and somewhat indirect.)

Assange, if convicted, is likely to actually get a long sentence.

Swartz's lawyers said that the prosecutors claimed that they thought the judge might go up to 7 years. That would be dependent on the prosecutors proving Swartz causes millions of dollars in damages. Swartz's lawyers thought that the provable damages would be much less, most likely resulting in probation.

Also unlike Assange Swartz had plea bargain offers. According to his lawyers prosecutors offered two deals. In one, Swartz would plead guilty and get a sentence of 4 months. In the other, Swartz would plead guilty, prosecutors would ask for a 6 month sentence, and Swartz could ask the judge for a lower sentence (or just probation). The judge would then pick the sentence from the range [probation, 6 months].

Swartz, if convicted, was likely to get a sentence of a few months or just probation. His own lawyers thought probation was the most likely outcome.

See this article for details [1].

The 35 years number bandied about is a press release number. In press releases prosecutors calculate possible sentences using a method that is completely unrealistic unless the person being charged is essentially the Hitler of the part of the crime world they operate in.

Any processor using pipelines suffers from self modifying code. The Intel 80486 was the first x86 chip to have a pipeline, and it was released in April 1989(!). Granted, it only had a 5 stage pipeline, so you'd only lose a few clocks each time, but modern x86 architectures have pipelines dozens of stages deep.

I disagree, quite strongly.

Let's leave behind this app for a second, and speak in generalities. What should Apple do if it believes that an account is making and distributing spyware or malware? Should they not ban the account altogether? In fact, wouldn't you be mad if you found out that there were playing whack-a-mole with individual submissions from a developer that they'd already decided was harming end users? I personally would be pretty annoyed if it turns out that they let a malicious developer produce spyware and continually tweak and re-submit their apps it until the approvers let it through, and would absolutely support a policy of banning whole developer accounts for certain infractions. I doubt I am in the minority here, even if there are disagreements about what those ban-worthy infractions should be.

So, the question here is whether or not this app is spyware or not. I personally am beginning to suspect yes, both because parental software always toes that line, and based the apps marketing and the developer's comments in this forum. Others might disagree. But while it's reasonable to disagree about whether this is spyware, given the above logic I think we can agree that it's perfectly reasonable for Apple to ban an account that it has determined is making spyware. You should disagree with the determination, and understand that the ban follows that determination directly.

Personally I think the weirdest thing here is the recommendation to make a new account. Generally most companies hate it when you try and recreate an account after a prior ban, and an official recommendation here seems quite odd.
Better gate control results in lower leakage compared to fins, and there are probably also some better thermals associated with this approach due to the surrounding metals. However, the density is crap - stackable nanoribbons are likely the better path.

Probably part of why Smalltalk died. The C syntax and the BASIC syntax became ubiquitous, and things like Pascal and Smalltalk were just too weird. Luckily we have Ruby, which is almost-Smalltalk with a BASIC-like syntax.
This seems like a motte and bailey.

There is the theoretical maximum sentence someone could receive, then there is the much shorter sentence they're likely to receive even if convicted, then there's the even shorter sentence if the prosecution fails to prove the most serious charges or the defendant takes a plea.

Prosecutors commonly scare monger using the theoretical maximum in their press releases or when trying to coerce a plea out of a defendant. It isn't any more likely then than it is when a reporter says it, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

You are looking at an over-regulated hellscape that's extremely gate-keeped all over the world (this is by design). In America it's effectively regional monopolies (the AMA decides who gets in, and lookup Certificate of Need).

Dude, just watch the film. It's so obvious that his head recoils forward and that there's a massive exit wound on his face. Whatever his body does afterward is going to be a combination of simple dynamics and the muscular contractions that would be characteristic of a massive head trauma.

rubs face ok so here's the thing. Food grows in topsoil. As an eater of food, you need to know this. It's important: food that does not come from the ocean[1] comes from topsoil. Beef? Cows. Cows graze. Pork? Pigs are calorie batteries. They eat anything. But they don't do so great in bog. Chickens? ....yeah.

The places that you think are coming online as 'greener' locations are places where the soil just unthawed. It's not topsoil. It's not loam. It's moss and bog, where it isn't boreal forest[2]. The land is not usable for agriculture or animal husbandry. Probably won't be for thousands of years. It's the crossfade.

It's also going through massive subsidence as the permafrost melts, and is constantly belching methane. It's a soup of microrganisms, mosquitos, and (scientific term here) gunk.

[1] before you call loophole: yes, we're running out of that, too. Faster, in fact. Fun times. Those are some empty empty oceans.

[2] Conifers often intentionally (to the extent that plants have intent) make the soil around them acidic; this is because only conifers can survive in this soil.

The territories you're eyeballing as a future breadbasket are often currently boreal. When they're not bog. And the boreal tends to turn into bog. That subsidence. Trees hate it -- they like being vertical.

So, yeah, idk what you'd grow there, unless you eat mosquitos.

i think Hi-Tech _does_ address real issues -- just not issues that most people care about, or would agree with.

e.g., when the US government funds bio/tech research, often through the Pentagon System, but also via agencies like the FBI/CIA/DOE/etc., are they interested in having pizza delivered by drone? Or are they trying to make sure that the American 1% stays in control of the Chinese 1%, the Indian 1%, the EU 1%, etc., and making sure that all that US spending doesn't rile up the poors in America (democracy?!), or anywhere else?

so, imo, if you help solve real issues (that the rich care about), then you're probably going to be rewarded very well.

whether you help do that by directly controlling or distracting people, either through the prison industrial complex, social media/surveillance, or tv/sports/netflix/hollywood/advertising/propaganda, great -- the money is going to flow into your coffers.

but, if you decide you want to do something that is potentially good for regular people, the money is going to dry up real quick, but usually it will never have been there in the first place.

so, imo, even companies that start out aiming to do generally good-ish things for regular people, the investors of those companies are not investing unless they can see the prize hanging there -- the big cash-out, the new way to control the domestic population, the better way to turn the US into a third world/developing economy, a new lever of power to control other rising powers or even 'just' private power rivals in the US (think GOP Party -- manufacturing, vs. Dem Party -- finance).
We are on Azure but no one was working when this hit and we don't host any critical workloads so its not a big deal for us this time.

AWS and GitHub seem to crater right when everyone is using them the most (i.e. 10am EST on a Tuesday), so there is bound to be far more discussion around these occurrences since everyone is wired on coffee, ass-in-chair, frustrated that they can't get any work done. People usually don't get out of bed and then get on the internet to complain about a transient outage that occurred while they were asleep.
> if it is better than the rest then the whole genre of stick vacuum cleaners should be taken out back and shot

Great (and amusing) comment; we have three vacuums in the house: a 1984 Central Beam, a 2002 Miele corded canister, and a Dyson cordless stick vac. I've replaced the bearings, motor brushes, power head belt and beater, and smooth floor head exactly once each on the Beam. Other than changing bags and HEPA filters, the Miele hasn't needed a thing, and the Dyson, well as I detest throwing things out, I've fixed it several times to-date, but it truly is shoddy quality for the price.

The battery pack died twice - the first time, I replaced it with another Dyson pack thinking I could repair the original - no such luck as the PCB is sealed with a thick layer of silicone, and the thermal cutout pretty much has to be destroyed to be removed as it's epoxied between two of the batteries. I managed to remove all six batteries and found one faulty cell, damaging the PCB in the process. I repurposed the rest of the cells to fixing a laptop battery pack.

We were careful with the second pack and ensured it was only charged for three hours at a time after the batteries were drained, but it also died, while its cheap ($60 vs. $250) Amazon replacement has been solid ever since.

Then the powerhead stopped working. After taking it apart, it was obvious that the wires traveling through the swivel joint lacked mechanical protection from repeated stress . Most of the wires on "good" vacuums that pass through a swivel joint are protected by a coiled spring with plenty of slack. In the Dyson, there are two 18GA wires with thin insulation passing through the joint. The positive wire was severed, and the negative wire was very close to failure. I managed to strip away enough insulation to attach two new wires with appropriate slack within a protective spring (from a ballpoint pen). So far, so good.

I'd have to say Dyson stick vacs are engineered to fail in several ways. Interestingly, my wife purchased a Dyson canister vacuum for the night cleaners at her office, and it's still going strong 10+ years later.
I think it would be absolutley interesting, I am not sure it would make any sense. If you rocked up at a press conference Newton was giving in 1727 and asked him his opinion on Climate Change or if he thought Mexico should or would pay for the wall what does one expect the answer to be?

Perhaps Nero would be better to ask about the wall, you might need to explain the whole fall of the roman empire, the sailing over the horizion, discovering americas, chucking tea into the harbour, baseball, stealth bombers, kim kardashian, twitter. And yes after all that, Nero thinks Mexico should pay for the wall.
Decompressing zlib/DEFLATE streams, in the general case, is an inherently serial task. It cannot be meaningfully parallelised.

The "trick" used by Apple, and a few other encoders, is to flush the zlib state every so often (ZLIB_FULL_FLUSH), which means that subsequent data is both byte alligned, and does not make any backreferences to before the sync.

If you know where these sync points are (Apple encodes this information in their non-standard "iDOT" chunk) then you can start decompressing from that point, in an isolated thread.

There are ongoing discussions as to how this metadata could be standardised: https://github.com/w3c/PNG-spec/issues/54

There's no clear winner between open and closed source, but that's just wrong. Vendors have and will continue to bury (under threat of violation of the CFAA or civil lawsuit) vulnerabilities to prevent hackers from disclosing said vulnerability, rather than fix them. That's also why Google's Project Zero gives a hard 90-day deadline to vendors for patching found vulnerabilities, and they got a lot of flack early on for disclosure.
If it's just a single region, it probably means your customers mostly use multi-region workloads.
