I haven't been able to find out what the situation in the States is. But in Germany, for instance, it is definitely illegal as it is considered document forgery. It is thus punishable by up to 5 years in prison, or even 10 years in severe cases[0].

In fact, AFAIK a company is not even allowed to issue an invoice twice without clearly labeling it as "copy of the original" and most companies must keep the invoices they issued as well as their books (and thus the invoices they received) for at least 10 years[1].

I suppose the legal situation must be very similar in other EU countries. One reason being, for instance, that invoices are used (by companies that deduct VAT) to request back from the tax authorities the VAT that one pays on invoices by other companies (in the EU). The invoice you receive from a company must therefore match that company's books. All hell would break lose if everyone could just forge invoices, whether with bad intentions or not.

Case in point: Here[2] is a guy asking for legal advice as he's being charged with document forgery even though we wasn't trying to defraud anyone or anything. Specifically, he had lost the invoice of the TV he was trying to sell on Ebay, so he ended up forging it because Ebay required people to upload the original invoice to sell TVs on the marketplace.

Invoices, and more generally the receipts underlying bookkeeping transactions, are the fundamental building block of reliable bookkeeping (and company audits, mind you).

What have other browser makers done, beyond the status quo that has demonstrated a browser experience that is beyond tolerable, perhaps even good?
A lot of it has to also do with genetics. Some population groups are more resilient to certain kind of chronic ailments.

Anecdotally, in NE India, there is a midsize city Aizawal which is known as the cancer capital of India. Stomach cancer is pervasive in that community. Their diet is mostly smoked pork. The part of population which consumes less smoked meat, remarkably showed a lesser prevalence of abdominal cancer. It is heuristically known. An empirical fact, if you might call it - as no one has systematically measured the cause-effect. The conclusion may even be flawed, but so far it looks like the observation supports the hypothesis.
Why would the income of immigrants affect your safety or property? Because are you assuming that foreigners are a danger, when a person is dangerous? when he is delinquent or for many other reasons, but that went the first reason that goes to my mind.
Via Thunderbolt probably.
Don't worry, if the history of all the laptops which don't even have any schematics available officially is to continue, they will be leaked soon enough.
Well here's your own comment, which is clearly seeking possible intention, and identifies individuals who may be responsible:

>I couldn't help being curious whether Willson, his partner, or the reporter is responsible.

I just say that this phenomenon you noticed may be accidental, and there may be no intention by any of the individuals you named in that statement, or by any other party.

Sorry, but I can't explain this situation to you any more simply than that.
Foreigners are people to.
I've done it for Virgil. It's a major pain, because Wasm, by design, does not give access to the value stack. So to find roots you need to spill them into memory into what is called a "shadow stack".

The problem with bringing your own GC isn't just that, though. It's that using linear memory for everything, you're forced to put external references in a table, which roots them. Tables aren't weak...and even if they were, it's possible to set up a cycle between the linear-memory GC references and external references so that leaks happen. This was a problem in other contexts, for example, in V8 embedded into Chromium, and the ultimate result is that you need cooperative garbage collection across two heaps, with queues. While V8 and Chromium trust each other, both not to screw up, and to be fast, it's hard to see how to make that cooperative garbage collection contract work with untrusted Wasm code.
Lenovo coded a backdoor and then also leaked the master key to that backdoor (the article doesn't make it super clear, but it seems like the leaked UEFI drivers have some special Lenovo sauce that lets them bypass even secure boot???)

None of this is specific to UEFI, and the exploit doesn't abuse any attack surface added by UEFI that wouldn't exist in a mythical alternative.
They can legally reinstate the pages with a simple counter-claim / attestation though, but they don’t seem to have implemented that feature of the DMCA yet.
The simulation stuff is just “Plato’s Cave”:Reloaded for people who never understood the concept of the cave in the first place. At a basic level you can interpret it from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, which state that systems of logic need some form of observer to function. That observer concept reaches way back across different philosophical domains and authors as well.
My first guess would be NDAs
I find it interesting that the Web platform ended up being the catalyst to finally get all the OS and GPU vendors to sit down and write a single interoperable API. The existence of wgpu is a very nice outcome for all graphics programmers, even those who don't work on the Web.
Look into land value taxes.

I would advise against specifically fining empty homes, because then you have to define what an empty home is; and that will have lots of weird grey areas.

That being said: fining/taxing is still better than banning.
Nintendo is a public company and wants what its shareholders want. That's why they had to ditch the WiiU entirely when they briefly stopped being profitable.

And it's 51% foreign owned:

Yup, 6 GHz
i was friends with a lot of artists for a while. some did it for the cash but others have a deep drive. some creators just want enough money to keep creating. one friend sold nearly everything that she owned in order to keep creating plush toys. i work sporadically and use the money i make to fuel video video game development (i originally did this to give myself extra time to self-educate on how to make games). I have been doing this for around 8 years.

I'm in the middle when it comes to money for creation. I'd buy a house and a car if i could because it would be nice to have a stable place to live as i get older and a way to get around, but my primary thought is always: "how can i make enough cash to give me the time i need to work on my project?" because creative projects are literally the only thing i do with my time. I can't live without creating things.

made an account to say that I love this. it is exactly what I wanted for keeping track of thoughts and "where did I leave ..." types of things. more than a text file but less than setting up something far more complicated. thanks.
Looking over the app in-depth, I see a lot that could be done depending on how much you want to do ;-)

- The initial import can be done pretty easily, `ledger bal` reports my current balances, so for example I can do `ledger bal Assets` and it will report back totals on my `Assets:<Bank>`, `Assets:Retirement:401k`, `Assets:Retirement:Roth 401k`, etc.

- You could potentially get a very in-depth "progress points" import with `ledger reg`, which just shows the history of my ledger. `ledger reg Assets:<Bank> --monthly --collapse --total-data` gives me a monthly tally of my savings since forever.

- It would be possible but harder to infer future events & spending I think. I can somewhat figure out how much I spend monthly looking at my data, but you'de need heavy processing to get anything useful out of that.

I think maybe a more reasonable request rather than supporting ledger is to just support a general purpose plaintext import. The above `--total-data` command for example just gives me:

2018-06-01 10000
2018-07-01 11000

Aren't "big ball of mud"s legendary for being counter-intuitively successful products?
I can't reasonably extract that reading, particularly since the posters "age appropriate" speaks directly to the text of the legislation.

But poorly crafted legislation-- particularly at the state level-- is the norm, not the exception.
Tests with the Jira issue id in them. Simple, easy, scriptable.

Bonus point: you can run the code coverage with all the tests for a certain feature and see which code is responsible for supporting this feature.
Many JS GCs are internally multi-threaded and can handle multiple allocators. Even though JS isn't itself multi-threaded, the JIT and runtime systems now are, and they can concurrently allocate onto the heap. V8 has had to move towards this ability very gradually because of assumptions from the single-threaded world, but it's much more likely to support multi-threaded Wasm GC, should it be necessary, in the future.
Only if that's the only human right.

It's impossible to run any kind of social safety net if an unlimited number of people can come in and bankrupt the social support.

Democracy also becomes impossible because if the native population gets uppity elites can bring in immigrants to dilute their votes. Mass immigration like this has, in the past, led to the end of large civilizations such as Rome.

Finally uncontrolled immigration economically crushes the native population by suppressing wages and causing asset and property price inflation. It's great for GDP over the short term though.

There's also the cultural and racial dilution thing but that's a controversial idea to say the least.

EDIT: I can't respond to you because my posts are throttled, but how does this work with your children? You have the same vote dilution problem in the new country but now it also opens up the opportunity to do the reverse if they're allowed to vote in the old country. Your "very long term" is likely multiple generations away. Should we be crushing the lives of multiple generations of our populations just take the best workers from these other countries and delay their development?
Agree the new content has been steadily going downhill as I imagine they are prioritizing profits over art.
The examples you give aren’t intrusive in real time. There is something fundamentally different between these cases.
This is a gross mischaracterization of what's happening.

People want to build interactive pages and products with neat little shiny user-friendly doodads. JavaScript provides that ability. SSR allows you to write JavaScript that will be rendered before the user ever sees it so all that effort that went into making browsers really good at rendering HTML can work for your interactive applialcation too.

I have to assume anyone who doesn't understand the goals or says some nonsense about it being about "advertisers" has spent little to no time in this space.
Yep, it would have helped you to capitalize "God" and not offend Christians. Or better yet, not even written the word itself. You can use "G*d" to be safe.
Until Canadian city centres look like Singapore, I don't think you can claim that you can't build more.
I understand that this is a common belief, but I don't agree that it is strictly true; it is contrary to my own experience, both as an applicant and as an interviewer.
I am entirely unfond of PHP as a language but Laravel - and competently written apps that use it - are damn impressive nonetheless.
> it’s a remarkable artifact of modernity that we say these things about computers, but not about the dictionary or our regimented education system.

When I was at university I had some humanities professors who were studying this kind of stuff. It was a lot of postmodern analysis, looking back probably critical theory. One professor pointed out that dictionaries were a very 19th century thing, the standardization of language. There is a fascinating "hidden" history in Europe of many languages being eradicated or wiped out by the central government insisting on one or a few national dialects. Reading it felt very similar to the schools that were run for indigenous people in the United States and Australia not so long ago.

In any case, my point is that some folks out there are doing research into this but it's not the kind of stuff that really gets in the headlines.
Yes, they have a quality problem. Part of the problem with the subscriber model is that these companies have to produce content to justify the monthly fees. This has led to overly long shows and movies. Stories that could have been told in 1.5 hours are now taking much much longer than needed.

A perfect example is Scorsese's "The Irishman." That movie could have easily been 2-2.5 hours yet it came in at over 3 hours. It was a detriment to the movie rather than a positive. Yet, I bet Netflix loved the extra content even though it was not a good thing for the movie.
I made a bet in 2016 that AMD would overtake Intel. I’m still owed $100 on that.
But what advantage is there for them to partner with Nintendo for it versus shipping the game with their own emulator (or a FOSS one) in a standalone package. Capcom has done this with their Mega Man X collection for example.
Confusion is by whoever wrote the headline. Server side render is easy. Isomorphic is hard.
The simple solution for global warming has been the carbon tax. But obviously it is a bad idea to do "shock" taxes. A shock tax in ICE vehicles wouldn't maximize the effectivity of stimulating long-term BEV demand, it would be a huge regressive tax on the huge number of people that don't rely on new cars, but used cars for everyday transport. It would inevitably simply lead to political backlash.

But a long term phase-in over a decade, which also is difficult to sustain over successive administrations and controls of congress, would be ideal. Obviously American governance is too incompetent to achieve that.

The carbon tax is for the current largest environmental threat: global warming.

But the sixth mass extinction will probably be the next big environmental issue once GW mitigations come into play. And the key to that is a big land tax to change incentives. And the same issues arise: how to avoid shock pricing and instead phase in over an economically adaptable timeframe.

It even has the same technological potential solutions but lack of supply: vertical farms and artificial meat have the potential to eliminate huge swathes of land that are currently used for 1) grazing and 2) crops that feed grazing animals.

Vertical farming and artificial meat should be getting massive research subsidies right now. Every research university should have substantial grants pursuing these. Because the habitats that we can reclaim back to nature and hopefully avert a total collapse of the "species web" is very important.

I feel we are constantly playing russian roulette with extinctions. Was this species so important that everything collapses? No. Well, how about this one? This one?

I mean, insect populations are dropping. Insects. Very concerning.
This is a great argument in favor of shorter copyright terms.

Instead of a situation in which everyone loses (the status quo), after some point, the games would become public domain because the maximum possible copyright period has run out, enabling people to play them again.
Perhaps, there should be a bond of some value necessary to be posted in such cases. If there is the appropriate money on the line, people suddenly think twice.
It's a laptop mainboard, there is no PCIe slot. Or do you mean nvme -> PCIe adaptor?

Another option is to put the nic inside a tb3 pcie enclosure and connect that. There are 4 thunderbolt ports.
Chrono Cross and FF6 have rereleases out now (don't remember the platforms). The issue with that being you have to play Chrono Cross, which you probably don't actually want to do.

It does have Radical Dreamers though.
If the co-op is sold at a profit, and those profits are distributed to the workers (who obviously all put in the exact same amount of work and time, right?) then they are profiting off the work of others, aren't they?
I would love to have stats of real world companies on this front.

Stuff like “CRUD enterprise app. 1 large-ish Postgres node. 10k tenants. 100 tables with lots of foreign key lookups, 100gb on disk. Db is… kinda slow, and final web requests take ~1 sec.”

The toughest thing is knowing what is normal for multi tenant data with lots of relational info used (compared to more large and popular companies that tend to have relatively simple data models)
Yes, sometimes language changes happen deliberately, sometimes they happen accidentally, and everywhere in between. Some changes that are perceived as happening naturally were deliberate. Affecting language deliberately vs accidentally is more-or-less entirely orthogonal to which side is correct. The involvement of politics doesn't eliminate the possibility of a correct side and an incorrect side, or a more-correct side and a more-incorrect side.
There are two effects:

First, as you mention, taxing clamps down on demand.

Second, taxes bring revenue.

You are worried that the first effect won't kick in. But that's not a problem at all: just keep jacking up taxes either until it does kick in, or you can afford to make everyone in Canada a billionaire from the second effect.

(Incidentally, this is very similar to worries that a central bank won't be able to create inflation.

That also is a good problem to have: keep purchasing assets with newly printed money until you either have the desired inflation, or you managed to buy the rest of the world for the cost of some ink and paper.)
> That's the actual text. I don't see how you could possibly think that is an appropriate subject for a 3rd grader, much less a kindergartner. The partisan hyperbole around it is ridiculous on both sides.

The way it's being enforced is the issue. I don't see any issue with discussion of gender identity with kindergardeners or 3rd graders. If they can understand that mommy and daddy love each other and got married, they can understand that daddy and daddy or mommy and mommy did too. The law's intent is to allow the first, but prevent the second (and we see evidence of this due to age-appropriate books featuring gay characters getting removed, but not age-appropriate books with straight relationships).

> Like Huckleberry Finn? Agree, books shouldn't be banned.

No, Huck Finn shouldn't be banned.

> Well maybe Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries.

No. If they're taught they should be taught in context (and admittedly you're probably not going to read Mein Kampf cover to cover outside of a college course), but if it's relevant to the curricula, sure (and I'm sure there are excerpts in some euro-history textbooks!)

> Maybe some shouldn't be taught in public schools, right? How about the Bible? Should that be excluded from the public school corriculum?

No, there are obvious contexts where the bible should be taught as part of the curriculum! When we discussed world religions came up in my high school history we absolutely read bits of the Bible and Quran, as well as some Vedic verses and more.

> No screening of A Birth of a Nation you'd agree with? It's not like they're removing them from public libraries or the internet. What is taught in public schools vs what is allowed to be said in a public forum are quite different things as well.

I watched clips from Birth of a Nation in my HS history classes, again: as long as it's contextualized well, sure, in fact more than sure! Yes, we should encourage well-contextualized viewership of shameful things from history.

Also as a bit of an addendum, if the worry really is primarily around "grooming" and childhood sexual assault, some age appropriate instruction about sex and specifically how and what is inappropriate for adults to do is one of the most effective things to keep children safe. If a kid doesn't have the words to describe what was done to them, or the understanding that it was inappropriate, they're much less likely to report.
I don't think they "needed" the Citus tool, per se, it was just the easiest option. I don't know much about MS-SQL, but no doubt PostgreSQL has areas that can be improved, or even that outright suck.

The main barrier against adopting MS-SQL is just the pricing and that it's not open source. Another thing that PostgreSQL seems to do a lot better than MS-SQL is in the extensibility department, hence we have things like TimescaleDB, Citus, EdgeDB, and a whole lot more. I can't really find anything like that for MS-SQL, but perhaps I missed it?
What makes something illegal? Someone saying "this is illegal"? Or the ability and intent to enforce that statement?

There are plenty of states/cities with old laws on the books calling all sorts of random things illegal. A search for "old unenforced laws" will yield plenty of humorous examples. But the things these old, unenforced laws refer to are not things that are considered "illegal", except generally in the context of articles about old unenforced laws.

What's the difference between a law that says "this is illegal" but the authorities have no interest in actually pursuing, and a law that says "this is illegal" but the authorities have no interest in actually pursuing?

Actually Christianity only put a Christian veneer over non-Christian celebrations. So basically we've kept a commercialized version of our favorite pagan traditions that Christianity tried to appropriate.

Think I'm being extreme? Just remember that the Bible says that Jesus was born during lambing season, which is in the Spring, so Christianity had to ignore its own texts to place it at the same time as the pagan Saturnalia festival.
The pattern that I pointed out, that includes Von Braun, and Musk, is of people who, whatever their advantages and sins, were not privileged enough to be born in the US, and they then found unimaginably more opportunity in the US than in their homeland.

Is that how some people conceive of the "American dream"? I don't know, but I think it's the easiest to find factual evidence of happening over a long period of time.
I know, I know, the webcrap crowd uses that terminology. Nobody else does.
As someone who spends most of their time right now inside of 3D game-type renderers, I have a hard time thinking of cranking out HTML as "rendering".

What does that crowd call the part of the browser that does layout and display?
PHP itself is perfectly designed to run CGI scripts and the correct architecture for web performance (shared-nothing). It's the third party developers that have second-system effect enterprise dreams.

Though maybe some of them have found simplicity again.
So, cocaine mode and withdrawal mode basically.
> It's a totally predictable, well regulated, very transparent process.

No it's not.

- Ghost bidders and staff posing as buyers on auction day aren't uncommon with smaller outfits.

- They can list the property at a range of say 1-1.2M but the reserve on the property might be 1.5M. They waste everyone's time doing this, and you don't know until auction day - and that's only IF the property meets it.

- They will negotiate with buyers after hammer down, technically the "right to negotiate" goes to the highest bidder - however there's no laws, and I've seen every single agency in Melbourne do this - will go around and gauge what people are willing to go up to. They'll then instruct the vendor to accept/not accept an amount. This is why they have multiple staff on auction day.
Simple yet valuable. We will look at doing so on wider viewports!
This inspired me to start tinkering on my framework laptop. Is there an integrated power switch onboard somewhere? I couldn't find one so I still needed to use the fingerprint reader connected to the input cover.
