I tried to look at his references but they are in small type in on slides that are non-copyable and non-linking.

So in practice, at least for me, the author cited no references.
I'm convinced that none of the people who are stealing from trains in California lack food or a roof under which to sleep. However, I think they are overwhelmed with sights of the rich and glamorous while at the same time underwhelmed with their lives and future prospects. Too many people want to get rich quick, and that's most true in American cities. Trains with valuable cargo that is easy to carry become a sitting duck when they are stranded for a prolonged time in a US city.
That's a neat idea, get in touch with me? Let's see what we can figure out. Let me know - my contact detail is in my profile.
IANAL but my interpretation of these things: Signing that and performing money laundering would be breaking their TOS and gives them a pathway to remove you based on TOS violations and not have to make a large legal case for it. Visa forms for USA use the same tricks, all kinds of questions about being a terrorist, answering “no” and doing something becomes a deportable offense since you’ve lied on a visa application or misrepresented, and removing the person from the country becomes easier.
I never bothered to look it up, but that still tells me nothing. Is everyone into what's the destructive power of one ton of TNT but me? All I can think of when I read TNT is some old cowboy movie where they threw TNT cartridges around, or some cartoon.
That's all from space. I'm guessing they mean, as I also mean, on the ground footage that isn't getting off the island yet due to the connectivity issues.

My favorite cities have trains, subways, and trams more than bikes and busses. All 5 is best but just bikes and busses is not enough.

The article is about SF but SF has a long way to go to be comparable to good cities. I kind of hate the Muni. It's slow, it doesn't come on any kind of regular schedule, if you want to catch it expect to wait 15 to 20 minutes often, the stations on market at dark and gross and depressing, and it goes very few places. Even smaller cities like Antwerp are better than SF when it comes to public transportation.
This is desperately needed.
> against copyright

You mean against DRM? The subject has no relation to copyright, except on how those companies keep abusing copyright laws. Anyway, you don't need protection against DRM if you don't criminalize breaking DRM.

And yeah, it carves out an exception for repair. It's funny how a narrow exception in an overbroad law ends up having no effect on practice.
Great idea! I really like it, I have worked in a few places where that happened as well. Can we collaborate a little bit more on what specific you are looking for - my contact details are on my blog (link is in my profile). Hope to hear back from you.
That's exactly what's happening! Please see my other comment (along with the contained blog link)
This trend was noticed in the most recent census. Home DNA tests sold by the likes of Ancestry and 23andme are a contributing factor.

“We find that people who have taken a [mail in ancestry test] are not only more likely to self-identify as multiracial, they are particularly likely to select three or more races,” Johfre said. These differences were most pronounced for middle-age adults, which means the U.S. multiracial population would be growing because of more than just new births, the researchers noted.

Perfect, of course, I'll post a comment on your repo!
I wonder how many fake COVID symptoms we get from the placebo effect when people are given false positive test results.
Jupiter’s moon Io would disagree.
In all seriousness, I wonder how long it will be until "First Nations" and "Inuit" become derogatory. I didn't even know "Native American" was bad, to be honest.
I just wish there were better tools for navigating C codebases.

There’s been more than one time where I’m in some large auto tools based project trying to figure something out and there’s a call out to some dependencies I have no idea of.

Also many of the projects lack and sort of documentation or source code commenting. These aren’t someones pet project either. One of them was from a notable name in the open source community and the other one was a de-facto driver in a certain hardware space.
If you think every hungry person is a thief, and the rich don't have a motive to steal, I'm not sure what to say. Humans in all situations are capable of greed and selfishness.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the proceeds made from these thefts went into drugs, alcohol, and entertainment than proving for any basic needs.

It conflates exposing your reasoning with being open to debate. I can perfectly well state my decision, make it clear that it's final, while also explaining it. This, for example, is exactly how courts work.

I agree with some others here: this advice is not useful often enough to go unqualified. It may make sense to frame it more in terms of "In situations where there the person is unknown and the communication is unsolicited, don't explain yourself."

I suspect 99% of my daily interactions would not benefit from advice. Perhaps I'm an outlier.

> 1. copy to hard disk
> 2. buy a new drive every year and copy it forward
> 3. store a copy with relatives

Yep, always good to have a local copy.

> Note that a cloud provider:
>1. can shut off your access at any time, by accident or on purpose, and you have no recourse

Absolutely, which is why steps 1-3 help here.

> 2. will sell your data to anyone at any time

Not true. Neither Google, Amazon or Microsoft do this. The current privacy policies state that. If you want to be extra cautious, you can create a cloud storage account or an account with personal domain and their privacy policies are even strong. Imaging Google or Microsoft "selling" a business's images in Photos or Drive.

> 3. will give it to any government for the asking

Unfortunately, true.

> 4. will leak it to any hacker

Will leak it is a bit too strong and harsh. 'Could be leaked' is better. Although, I have a basic trust in their security as opposed to not even using their services for this fear. Of course, I would never upload any 'private' or 'confidential' images there.

> 5. will allow employees of said cloud provider to browse your data

Again, false. 'Will' here is too strong. None of the employees have direct access to your data -- neither emails, nor images. And if you want to be even more confident, go for Google Suite or Microsoft 365 account and this is guaranteed to not happen.

> 6. will scan it to use it to sell you ads

True, but you could mitigate it by using the paid tier accounts.

> 7. will scan it looking for anything they don't approve of this week, and take "corrective action"

No arguments here -- although the paid tier accounts should guarantee this does not happen.

> 8. if you've got terabytes, good luck trying to download it

The better solution is to keep a local copy using steps 1-3 and also upload them to "your chosen service".
Has anyone heard of any issues using SQLite in jurisdictions without a concept of the public domain? The copyright page [1] seems to imply that you'd need to buy a license from Hwaci.

Some advice that gets passed around and is useful - understand the database schema. For a good number of applications, if you can understand the database schema you can guess at a lot of the functionality and a lot of the code base will just be taking data back and forth from a database to either a UI or an API endpoint.

This doesn't work for all applications, but a good number.
I can imagine interceptors fired off near the enemy launch site that run down the hypersonic while it's still accelerating. Or, interceptors fired down from space either at the incoming hypersonic or along an expected path intending to converge.
> particularly in cases where it’s important to be authoritative.

I think this is lens makes the advice clearer.

"Don't explain yourself" or "use of authority doesn't require explanation" smells gross because it's anti-egalitarian. (People are equal, how can one person have authority to an extent that explanation isn't needed/beneficial?).

In a sense, "explaining things" is a way of showing you're not wielding authority over others, or open to suggestions.

The frustrating situations described in the original post, since OP's mind isn't open to be changed, his advice is to 'wield authority': to say no to telemarketer, to his son asking for a kitten. Giving explanation while teaching shows that the reason what's being taught is true isn't just because the teacher is saying it.

It's not up to Venmo to report. They are just providing extra information to the IRS to cross check.

Even if you mark it as such in-app; as a business you still have a legal duty to correctly report the income your business made.

Not doing so is already illegal. This just helps the IRS catch this type of fruad easier.

There's no extra taxes or anything - the $600 or more is taxed when reported correctly (as it was before this change, and how amounts under $600 are taxed as well - business income).
i just want to know, do they really use the name "monkey puzzle tree" in english speaking countries? i was a little surprised to see that name, given that araucaria is the accepted name for the tree (in spanish).

If we dig deeper in the rabbit hole, araucaria is the name given to the tree (and the zone where the tree grows, and the indigenous (mapuche) people that inhabited, and keeps inhabiting the land) by the spanish empire.

The original name (newen) was given by the mapuche people. "piñon" is also a mapuche word and while we use "araucaria" when refering to the tree, we use "piñón" instead of "araucaria nut". to refer to the edible part.
And thus leading to the creation of the most powerful thermonuclear weapons known to man... ?
It's not a general rule for all capture processes, but on the case of solid carbon you do need to put back most of the energy yo get by burning the fuel.

Solid carbon is basically coal. It has more usable energy per mass than any hydrocarbon, and just a little bit less per carbon.
In January 2021, Nginx took over Apache as the #1 web server on the Internet that users can install:

That post contrasts blockchains with "informal consortium" (a GitHub org) and does its analysis like you need one OR other.

This is not true. Unless you get very big, there is only a single client (website?), and you always need a Github org all users can trust. No smart contract can force a developer to implement a feature they don't like. The best that can happen is that a developer will claim, "I promise I will implement features voted by the blockchain" -- but this still relies on the goodwill. The developer might as well promise, "I will implement the Github issue with the most votes", no blockchain required.

So there is no need to wait for smart contracts or blockchain. If you want a federated system, write proctocols and reference implementations, and then search for people who are willing to host other nodes. If you want an open political process, set up a mailing list.
So...how exactly could this kind of thing be enforced?

Maybe it'll shut down marketplaces where XYZ Company can buy an ad to target Facebook users with very particular demographic characteristics.

But that doesn't keep Facebook itself from just saying "You know what, we'll do some AI/ML algorithm figure out that selling XYZ Company's ad to this very particular set of users optimizes the click-through rate..."

Why is this user getting this ad? How can you prove that Facebook's doing this, when all the code for matching ads to users is locked on Facebook's servers and requires a degree in AI/ML and years of study of Facebook-specific internal stuff to even understand? Will there be some gigantic new federal inspectorate that understands and audits the source code of every Internet company that buys or sells advertising?

> A VR headset is just like a stereoscope from the 1800s, except the image is on screens fixed just past your nose, and you're in space. Your eyes are free to change angle as the images on the screen move, but your lenses are accommodating screens that are at a fixed distance.

Never thought about that. You can throw processing at VR to dial up the frame rate, throw in more expensive displays to increase the resolution but at the end of the day your mind still expects to change focus as it flits from "near" to "far" objects in "the meta" ... and I don't see how we'll ever be ever to accommodate that.
I dunno, but I've seen/used American Indians before to disambiguate (unless talking about specific nations/ethnicities), and Indian-Americans for Americans from India. for (non-American Indian) Indians in India, maybe Indian Indians? subcontinental Indians? that last sounds wrong to me but I dunno what else to use!

If memory serves me, nginx succeeded by relying on epoll primitives for handling many connections rather than spinning up a thread per request by default like apache did at the time. That was the big difference back then. These days I imagine Apache has adopted/honed these same techniques.

Starting with a blank canvas is the exception. Most programming work is fixing bugs, incrementally adding features, adding interfaces to other systems. Only early stage startups and research projects start with a blank canvas. Even new systems in existing businesses have infrastructure, staffing and technology constraints.
Has it ever been shown in court that there's any real point to putting a license at the top of every file? I'd think that the whole project is licensed under some terms, rather than having to do each file individually....

Anyway, I think structuring it as a blessing means that it doesn't tell us much about the author's view of ethics. Which is to say, it is so clearly just a reminder to the reader that they should be their best self, that it couldn't possibly be misinterpreted as the actual, objective legal requirements. So, those must be somewhere else, right?
IPO "pop" is a bit of pejorative usually referring to the deliberate underpricing of an IPO so that the investment bankers' big clients can get a quick profit, the difference between the IPO price and the first available exchange price. In the context of this thread, an example of Wall Street sleaze.
And also the Haredim Jewish sects are seeing strong growth.

Both the Amish and the Haredim reject a lot of modernity and are quite conservative as well look to keep traditional families and gender roles. Probably not a coincidence that there are the groups still seeing strong growth.

My own recommendation is NIST Technical Note 1385 "Global Positioning System Receivers and Relativity" by Ashby and Weiss[0], and the GPS ICD for the L1 and L2C signals IS-GPS-200[1].

They are aimed at the practitioner who actually needs to solve problems. TFA is entertaining and pretty, but insufficient to actually get work done.

I'm not from the US and barely familiar with how properties are taxed, but would it be fair to guess that the range of road maintenance costs across the country are narrower than the range of housing prices? Labour would vary, but materials less so, right? So if suburban maintenance is funded by property taxes and people resist a certain level of taxation, then some level of increased density is the only alternative? Someone wanting small-town rural living would need to accept some adjusted balance of poorer roads, higher taxes or increased density?
How big is big enough? There is no physical, engineering, or practical limit to how much worldly damage can be done with supers. The yields increase exponentially with linear increases in effort (stages / size).

Nukes also:

* Create EMP blasts potentially disabling electronics over larger areas.

* Start fires in every direction for miles beyond the blast zone.

* Delegitimize nuclear energy. Sort of indirect but fear of nukes is why we don't invest heavily in safe fission alternatives with no weapons path.

* Have no real theoretical limit. 50MT has been donated. Designs have been shown up to 10GT.

There are already people who consider terms like "Inuit" homogenizing and insulting. There are thousands of indigenous groups in the Americas and every person in them can have their own preferences and opinions. There isn't a singular term to refer to the totality of their identities any more than there is for "Eurasians".
So the issue with all of this CORS complexity is that legacy (and perhaps today's?) servers don't check for the Origin header, thus being vulnerable to XSRF attacks, i.e. browser vectors only? I guess it's too late now, but I can't help but think that the XSRF-issue should have been fixed by vulnerable server software instead of effectively turned off by browser vendors and re-enabled with major header and preflight bloat. Especially now that cross-origin is so common due to the microservice trend.

I did some work recently on a large "modern" website and man the amount of seemingly unnecessary origin related metadata is insane, mostly due to XHR chatter.
