If you're just starting with programming, start with a high level language and work on something interesting to you. Doesn't really matter what language it is. What matters is working on something that will keep you interested.

I have no illusions that they succeed, I can just tell you that they have a strong incentive to not price discriminate.
I definitely should have investigated their FDIC claims more thoroughly, though I do think being misleading about that should have pretty strong consequences.

I'm also kind of surprised NYC hasn't suspended their license yet, at least until the SEC lawsuit comes to a conclusion.
You could sync certificates across hosts for this purpose, though. The advantage of multiple certificates is being able to revoke a subset of certificates if you can determine only a subset of your hosts have been compromised.
Mostly direct employees here. Usually I'd think that's better, but ...
Coca Cola, Nike and Pizza Hut are products that everyone buys. It makes sense they would advertise during the Superbowl. But I don't personally know anybody non-techy who knows anything about crypto, never mind has any use for it (although I did have one friend who almost fell victim to an Internet scam that mentioned crypto). So it makes less sense why they would be advertising it on such a huge scale, before most average people had even come into contact with it (in a non-criminal context, anyways).
More states are moving towards the state based model as time goes on

Thanks - some interesting perspective.

If you think about it, then it makes quite a lot of sense that a type system aiming to describe the behaviour of a dynamically typed language would end up being this powerful.
Well, he uploaded the video plus his commentary on the video.
Ruby is the perfect language to learn if you are a Rails dev or want to be one. There are plenty of Rails shops out there.
You want to make course adjustments months or years in advance, which may involve things like gravity assists and slingshots that require very good predictions of where multiple different bodies will be a year from now. It can be thousands of times more expensive to course-correct "just in time", or even not possible at all.

As with most discussions of orbital mechanics, the best advice I can give if you want to learn more is: play Kerbal Space Program (1, not 2)
Realtime, low power, isn't really possible today. Think anything motion or reaction related.
You are following absolutist thinking. There are indeed aspects that make America not a perfect free market. But is a free-er market than any other large developed economy. I purchase from Amazon, as well as many other web and brick-and-mortar stores. Amazon does not force me at gunpoint to buy from them.

I don't understand why building a warehouse in a small town, where people voluntarily start to work for them (presumably by offering better pay, working conditions, and opportunity) is a bad thing. You have a zero-sum, incorrect understanding of market forces and how the economy works.
This article spends basically 0 time delving into his argument or thought process. Instead takes his hypothesis as fact and concludes that we should stop punishing drunk driving?

Does anyone link an article that actually explains his views?
Please update the title to one-in-a-Million.
Yeah, fair enough. There was definitely some techs caught red-handed in the sting operation, but I dunno it's not that clear what problems they submitted the cases to that might involve some poking around in the Filesystem etc? Anyways, not gonna make excuses, just some of the promotion of this story I also heard came across as over the top
You need an abstract if you are looking up a topic and you’re scanning through articles though, and I think even if articles didn’t have abstracts, people would still link to papers to spin a narrative.

I think this all really the cost of admission for the ease of self-publishing. Now any jerk off can post about their opinions on keeping abstracts while using the bathroom on company time.
When's the next one? How big does an eclipse need to be to start wreaking havoc on the grid? Or is that a "never" situation still?
Yes, I tend to believe that as well. My guess it's either related to Genesis Market or Qakbot takedowns.
According to the article, The issue is not that the police were recorded or put on YouTube. It's that the YouTube video had captions on it from the 19 year old. It is the content of those that is still an issue.

From the article, the judge has dismissed most of the claims but some have been allowed to be moved forward.
Bad take, IMO.

Companies have every right to dictate what behavior they allow on their platform, full stop.
The only thing they need to address regarding H-1B visas, and L-1A/B visas for that matter, is the absence of employer caps.

There is a big difference between the startup co-founder and the foreign talent recruited by FAANG companies, and the crap IT consultancy companies pull all the time.
If you type in junk into the keyboard, junk is what you get on the screen. I see the fault with the developers that overload the keys for existing control characters with a different meaning.

With the application being a terminal emulator, that is emitting an ESC character.

Because sometimes you do not want to dig thru insulation and just pay someone for it.
Regardless, stealing all of Bezos' money to "help society" would accomplish very little.
We consider “cos 123” an exact solution even though to numerically calculate it requires a power series approximation. So 3 body problem is just as “exact” as that.
The state is lower-level and, as a result, more accountable to the people. It ought to have more incentive to not screw this sort of thing up.

At least, I had much more faith in my state government (MA) to not half-ass this kind of thing.
It succeeded in getting more people covered by health insurance. It did so by enriching the private insurers who basically run our health care system. Personally I don’t see that as a success, rather it simply made all our health care system problems worse. Access to insurance just isn’t the same as access to health care, because the insurance costs money, and insurers tend to be roadblocks to care. People who tend to need the most care were either already covered (Medicare/Medicaid) or the subsidies under ACA were paltry jokes compared to their needs.

There isn’t a realistic chance of repeal. Both of the main political parties here benefit from it too much: the democrats by claiming a health care win, which our latte liberal class eats up, and the republicans by having an additional hot button issue (like abortion and guns) to whip their lunatic fringe up with. Not to mention all the campaign and lobbying money from private insurers who are profiting immensely off of ACA.
Communism pretty explicitly involves the proletariat seizing the means of production, but go on.

Cartels and anticompetitive agreements are part and parcel of a devolved capitalism where the government provides no rules (or provides rules but no enforcement) to restrain capital.
I also found it was just overkill for my home network. And it was a hassle when my controller computer would die and I'd need to sort everything out. Went with a simpler solution with web and ssh interfaces.

No thank you.
It looks like automatic importing of transactions isn't supported yet[0]: "There are a couple ways to get transactions into the system. For now, automatic transaction downloading is not available but it will be available very soon."

What I really want is some system that lets me just click "Import", and it goes out to my various CC/bank sites and pulls in the data automatically. Or, imports on a schedule 2x/day or something. The thing I want to avoid is having to log in/download/import these files manually from like 7 different sites. I want that because I handle this stuff on a random basis, when I have a few free minutes, and the time it takes to get my records up to date the manual way is about the same amount of time I have overall to do it. And I find reconciling everything on a fixed schedule, say at the end of the month, is much harder than doing it on the fly, because a lot of times I will not remember what a charge was even for if I wait 30 days to process it.

I hate it just as much. "If you like your insurance you can keep it is true" - but I didn't like my insurance and I'm still forced to keep it. I've long said the big mistake is tying health insurance to employment is the problem (it isn't the only problem, but it is a big one). If I take anything else I turn away more than $1000 in subsidies that my employee currently it putting in, and that means as much as I don't like my insurance I cannot use anything else. Of course since the customer of health insurance isn't me but my employer that means they are not responsive to me and my needs.

I'm against socialize health insurance, but what we have today is just as bad though in different ways.
Oh yeah - nothing bad has ever happened based on knowledge of a minority group's ancestry...
The Nevada one is unusable; I am resultantly presently uninsured despite trying very hard and having successfully signed up last year.

I have money and the desire to transact and I cannot. The system is a failure.
An approach to think about: If someone is making you angry, they are controlling you.

I haven't really tried that in the real world, and I don't think you can phrase it exactly like that to someone who is angry in the moment, it will just make them more angry. But if you have a loved one who is being controlled by someone else's anger, it may be worth thinking about how you might communicate the idea.
To be fair, they said "over one per day", so they weren't really wrong, just imprecise.
The dystopia these sound like is already here. If the "good guys" decline to wear them, that doesn't really really do anything to mitigate the dystopia. You can't put the cat back into the bag.
I used to do this but I started tracking change separately because I want to track budget categories exactly but I also don’t want to have to count a bunch of change every time I reconcile my cash account. The change account is only tracked automatically, it would be too tedious to do manually.
I didn't realise that.

I was already somewhat sceptical as I heard that the story is being moved to the U.S. which seemed odd, but it was apparently signed off by Liu Cixin.

I'm still a bit in shock as to how bad GoT season 8 was. So many plotlines and character development were just shredded, burnt and then thrown away. And that battle looked impressive on-screen (if you like watching a black screen with little points of light) but just made absolutely no sense tactically.
It's better than nothing, but it's very, very far from adequate.
I ended up modifying userChrome.css to display the profile after the URL.
I wrote my heatmaps & isochrone polygons based on this page 4 years ago, with Python & GeoPandas.[1] It was rather easy, and didn't damage performance.

But looking back, it wasn't worth the hassle. Because what's the advantage of hex, apart from looking unusual? If you have, let's say, a road on a map, and some heatmap should highlight it, then cells of rectangular heatmap are going to be like low-res pixel art -- only in 2 directions it coincides with cells and looks nice.

Well, with hex grid you have +50% of such directions. Uber's H3 advocates insist there's also exactly the same distance between cells centroids. Well, that's all advantages.

Anti-bonus of hexgrid: you can't aggregate it. Hexagons don't sum up into bigger hexagons.

There is this legend that Rupert Murdoch said he doesn't like the EU because he can walk into Downing Street and everyone listens, but he can't do that in Brussels. He was wrong, just like the EU politicians who say that big powers can't force their way on a union of 300 million people - they can, very easily, they just have to groom an EU commissioner. One person!

The EU commissioners are the biggest fault with the EU and it's disheartening how no one addresses that. Even after Brexit, when every EU politician asked how they can make the EU more attractive - they mentioned everything, but a reform that makes it more democratic was out of question.
I don't know the names. They all seem to have the pro Acrobat stuff, but more often use something also bundled with search tools perhaps? Communication between lawyers on opposite "sides" often seems to be by PDF, not source (although sometimes that too) so I imagined they both have working docs kept separate because they don't want to to share some of the markup/comments. I asked one of them about that they claimed that using clean pdf output (no metadata or history) was worth the extra hassle as it avoided costly errors.

Anyway that's my limited experience having dealt with a bunch of them - no expert.

I don't think I did. uMatrix makes this easy to configure with a couple of clicks. uBlock Origin can probably do it as well, but not as easily; it might require text-based configuration.

As I said, check them out. (And please note that uBlock Origin is not the same as uBlock. Avoid the latter.)
Those are included in "homicides".
And that generally, the people who've won the contract to build the website or application are not the same people who've won the other contract to manage the databases, which is a totally different someone than those who've won the contract to run the DNS system, oh and also that the DNS contractors and the database contractors definitely bid on the website contract but didn't win so they want the website contractor to fail so they can get a second chance at bidding on the contract when you do
>keep a machine hosted at a company secure from law enforcement

Your own hardware + continuous video monitoring is probably good enough. The idea is not to keep it secure, but to know when a breach has happened.
You've given an example that is not aligned with the incident being discussed.

This often depends on how the program is funded. The state may be able to get money to run the system and if they are ok with becoming dependent on that, they might take it.

See also, NEVI, where the government is spending billions of dollars to build chargers via a complicated system involving state managed programs. It was passed almost two years ago and hasn't deployed a single site.
It's not efficiency itself that's the sole metric, it's the ability to find a job in the first place, easily, fluidly, in a dynamic economy that lets business owners and workers both experiment fairly smoothly. You cannot have this without foregoing heavy handed worker protection laws. It's such an obvious bloody thing but apparently some people get so emotionally blind-sided by the notion of "companies firing = bad" and immediately assume that such a right always boils down to "greedy businesses". It does not.

Put yourself into the other shoes: You want to start a business, you have limited resources, you want to hire people who can help you in exchange for compensation and these people want that compensation, but the laws where you live make it nearly impossible to fire anyone you hire. What will you do? Be realistic, looking at your actual finances and human self.interest as objectively as you can.

Businesses are the private organizational expression of private people (or groups) using their personal resources to try to earn something more, improve their economic well-being. Saddling them with the ideological notion of being make-work resources just because they started something of their own that required employees for fixed aims is absurd.

It also promotes informality and labor black markets, in which people who prefer actually getting a job and money for living expenses to "enjoying worker protection" in the abstract but having it basically impossible to get hired legally in practice. So they accept being hired under the table. Now that they're working informally, as if they were illegal immigrants, they're even more open to abuse than they would have been if they could just get hired and fired easily, but at least formally, and under at least basic rules of minimum wage and labor law.

A simple analogy would be you hiring a gardener to trim your hedges and mow your lawn and then being forced to offer him work any time he asks for it from then on. I doubt you'd accept this. In fact, I doubt you'd even hire gardeners ever again.
It's a whole category of programming languages. Search for lolcode and cheflang.

If you really hated the way pencils smelled and you're trying to get into sketching, and everyone always says "use pencils", could get frustrating. It's the best tool for the job, but you can probably also get pretty far with a pen.

You can certainly be a successful engineer while never learning specific languages.

That being said, a specific language can be the best tool for the job, and there are many things for which python and js are the best tools.
Because understanding CEO pay as a product of organization incentives shows just how futile shaming companies into lower CEO pay is. Just tax the CEOs more and let companies pay what they want.
It's not a bad thing in concept, and probably won't be a bad thing in execution since Roads has a pretty solid core of editors moving. They've already implemented technical improvements on AARoads, like better and newer road maps. The potential is there.

It's often a bad thing in practice, much like how splitting off entirely separate social networks for specific subjects is often a bad idea. If there aren't enough people or activity, interest wanes. If the project relies on one or two heavily active editors, it collapses when they're unavailable. If you never hit critical mass for SEO or can't/don't know how to promote your content, all the work is done in a vacuum and everyone sees the Wikipedia stubs over your stuff anyway.

Fandom (as in the company), as awful as it is, largely exists by virtue of participation in the subjects where there's enough interest to facilitate it; the mass wiki-farm infrastructure gives them enough of a SEO boost to dominate even some of the wikis that fork off of Fandom to escape its policies.

> you can always import back the articles into Wikipedia. So maybe it can be a useful way for communities to "incubate" articles?

Developing an article on a separate wiki has additional technical and administrative overhead.

CC BY-SA requires attribution. Wikipedia attributes contributions by article history. The only way to import article history is via Special:Import. You have to be an admin or have import rights to use Special:Import on Wikipedia.

If you can clear all those hurdles, then in theory you can import changes with the required attribution from another wiki. But if the imported changes conflict with changes made in parallel on Wikipedia, resolving them can be very contentious, especially if any of the editors involved disagree on the resolution. Or the import might fail, because Special:Import isn't particularly robust.

And as the forked wiki admin, do you decide to set up scheduled imports _from_ Wikipedia to keep up with upstream? These forks often split because Wikipedia is deficient in some way beyond just editing the text. AARoads' fork's use of improved maps, for instance, would probably break the article on Special:Import because it looks like they use different wiki templates and modules.
Zitron's response prioritizes the author's personal characteristics before the text itself, & is filled with empty disdain-words like 'sorry screed', 'ugly, spurious', 'outdated and childish', 'rotten, exploitive', 'mealy-mouthed'.

Those are applause-lines for those who already agree with Zitron. This is the bad & lazy & pandering kind of ad hominem.

I have no problem with a plain clothed officer making an arrest if they CLEARLY identify themselves as officers when making the arrest. Those agents didn't. They refused questions of whether or not they were law enforcement and were literally loading people into unmarked vans.

I am quite frankly shocked that there wasn't violence in response to that.
