>By not keeping logs, you are intentionally hindering law enforcement.

This is why I keep a diary indicating every single person I've ever interacted with, along with the date, time and place. It's a pain to do so and it takes up a lot of storage space and it makes people wary about interacting with me but I'd certainly never want to hinder law enforcement.

There’s a balance between jackpot size and a given drawing’s popularity for sure.

There are also bad number choices and good number choices. 1,2,3,4,5,6 is a terrible selection, for example. Not because it is somehow “less random”, but because you’re guaranteed to be splitting that jackpot with a 1,000 other nerds who were trying to prove a point!

To a lesser degree, choosing numbers under 31, or under 12, will put you in a collision space with other players who like to choose birthdays.

Just use the random pick and don’t think about it. If you do win the jackpot, you have higher odds of being the only one.

Nockout – Find sports venues and players near you
Hey! I'm Subramanya, co-founder of Nockout. My friend Yash and I built Nockout to solve a problem we personally struggled with: finding places to play sports and people to play with.

We kept running into the same issues:
- Wasting time searching for available courts/fields
- Difficulty finding other players at our skill level
- Spending more time coordinating games than actually playing

So we created Nockout to streamline the process of organizing games and discovering sports facilities. Here's what it does:
- Shows nearby sports venues and their real-time availability
- Matches you with players of similar skill levels
- Simplifies the process of organizing games and inviting others

You can try it out at https://nockout.co - no signup required to browse venues and activities.

We'd love to hear your feedback, especially on:
- Additional features you'd want to see
- Other sports we should add support for

Looking forward to your thoughts! Happy to answer any questions.

YJ-100s? What would the targeting sensor platform be?

Even a spot of the ocean is big, and they'd need RQ-180-alikes to maintain 24/7 ISTAR to the east of Taiwan, where the biggest problem is that everything is on the other side of a mountain range.

I'm not sure the Huanjings have detailed enough space-based SAR for ship targeting purposes, but even if so ASAT is a poor exchange in terms of satellite cost vs method of destruction.

Absent something like the US' future LEO SBR, it doesn't fulfill the persistence criteria.

> Imagine a government agent buys drugs on the dark web and arrests the courier. The courier protests, "I didn't know it was drugs, I didn't ask what was in the package". Do you think that defense is going to keep the courier out of prison?

I, recently, bought a computer mouse from an online shop. The courier who brought me the package had no idea it contained a computer mouse. It might have been listed on the manifest outside the package, but even then, the courier had no way of knowing whether that was true without opening the package.

So, yes, I do think that defense can keep the courier out of prison.

I am a bit confused why shifting liability would be linked to maximizing data theft, and why would that data theft be done by some regulatory agencies - can you elaborate?

The liability shift that I had in mind is mostly about immunity from liability for the impersonated person, like, if some criminal defrauds a company by claiming to be Bob, then shifting the liability for that risk (compared to currently common cases in USA) to that company which had lax processes and was defrauded would be various consumer protection mechanisms for things like credit score, preventing that company from trying to collect that money from Bob, preventing them from reporting that Bob owes them money (as he doesn't) and requiring that company to correct any adverse credit reports if they had already made them, etc, various means to ensure that the fraud stays between the fraudster and the defrauded company and doesn't affect the person whose identity was falsely used; and removing the implication that they are somehow responsible if that information (which they aren't legally required to keep secret) is used by someone else.

An important point that seems to have been missed by most of the comments: the reason Apple lost this case is not because of the profit shifting scheme itself, but rather than they did not set up the scheme correctly:

> ASI's 2014 structure was an adaptation of a Double Irish scheme, an Irish IP–based BEPS tool used by many US multinationals. Apple did not follow the traditional Double Irish structure of using two separate Irish companies. Instead, Apple used two separate "branches" inside one single company, namely ASI.[34] It is this "branch structure" the EU Commission alleged was illegal State aid, as it was not offered to other multinationals in Ireland, which had used the traditional "two separate companies" version of the Double Irish BEPS tool. Under the Double Irish structure, one Irish subsidiary (IRL1) is an Irish registered company selling products to non–US locations from Ireland. The other Irish subsidiary (IRL2) is "registered" in Ireland, but "managed and controlled" from a tax haven such as Bermuda. The Irish tax code considers IRL2 a Bermuda company (used the "managed and controlled" test), but the US tax code considers IRL2 an Irish company (uses the registration test). Neither taxes it. Apple's subsidiary, ASI, behaved like it was IRL2, it was "managed and controlled" via ASI Board meetings in Bermuda, so Irish Revenue did not tax it. But ASI also did all the functions of IRL1, making circa €110.8 billion[6] of profits from non–US sales. The EU Commission contest IRL1's actions made ASI Irish, and the functions of IRL1 over-rode the Bermuda Board meetings in deciding the "managed and controlled" test. The commission had not brought any cases against US multinationals using the standard double two separate companies Irish BEPS tool. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%27s_EU_tax_dispute)

In other words if they had actually set up two separate Irish companies instead of just using two separate branches of a single Irish company, their tax scheme would have been fully legal and not considered state aid. (Since many other companies availed themselves of such a scheme.)

I deny you the right to put words in my mouth. I also note that the discussion was about Russia vs. Poland (a NATO member), which is rather a different situation than Russia vs. Ukraine. Your reply is therefore a non sequitur as well as a rather shady rhetorical move.

We use stacked commits + rebase only in our company. The commit history is linear and it's very easy to revert changes. I don't see any advantage of using merging instead of rebase

I am not sure why we need to squash commits. We encourage the opposite where you should commit small and often. So if we need to revert any commit, it's less painful to do so.
Better it be a deep dive into developer sanity, a more important but comparatively under-valued metric.

The US postal service scans and stores the outside of every envelope and package they handle. Law enforcement agencies can query this metadata.

> Doesn't running a telephone network help people do the same?

They do, but they are not only share the metadata with law enforcement, but also let them wiretap. (Often they require a warrant for this, but that is not a hard burden for a LEO.) And this capability is not some aftertought, but deeply integrated into their tech stack.

Apple having to pay those 13 B means that companies won't be as eager to have a headquarter in Ireland as they have been in the past. They could move somewhere else in the EU. That's a damage for Ireland and that's why Ireland sided with Apple for all this litigation.
What a timeline we live in where the EU is basically telling Apple that they weren’t smart enough with their tax evasion - “see if you did it like other FAANG you could’ve gotten away with it!”

My favourite shell environment for windows thus far is combining Git For Windows with scoop[1]. A simple "scoop install git" will get the environment installed, and give you a bash shell and full access to all sorts of windows-native utilities from scoop. Some would say I'd be better off with msys2 or cygwin, but the former is meant more as a development environment and lacks misc utilities, and the latter has what is possibly the worst package manager that is still in use (and generally less stellar integration with windows programs).

I had non-stop issues with GE OTR microwaves for 2 years. I started with a PVM2188SLJC that I ended up getting replaced three times by GE over a year for separate issues (buzzing turntable, cracked casing). I ended spamming the executive team and got an upgraded model with convect for free.

Fast forward two years later, and the fuse tripped inside the microwave after I forget a bottle sterilizer overnight, on Christmas Day.

I said fuck this, and went and got a Panasonic NN-SG158. The twist was that it looked like it was a different version of the first GE microwave we had from the same OEM, but a little reworked.
I'd say that it is one of the few cases where comments are the best solution.

You can't have functional code for what isn't done, so that's some information you can't express in code.

Furthermore, a major problem with comments is that you can't debug or test them. There are many tools that can analyze code, static or runtime, but because comments are just free text, you can't do much besides spellchecking. Also it is common to forget to update comments, and with the lack of testing, in the end, you get lies.

But here, the only maintenance these comment need is to remove them if they stop being relevant. For example because you finally did the thing you said you wouldn't do, or just scrapped the part. Very low effort, also rather easy to spot, since if you see a thing being done with an explanation on why it is not done, it means someone forgot.

It is also worthwhile because as programs grow, they tend to do more, and "not" assumption may no longer hold (there used to be 4 parameters, now there are 10000...), meaning it is something you should check.

A lot of slow code comes from an assumption that N will be small, and N ends up being big. By the way, that's why I favor using the lowest O(n) algorithm that is reasonable even if it is overkill and slower on small sets. Because one day, it may not be. If for some reason, using a low O(n) algorithm is problematic, for example because the code is too complex or the slowdown on smaller sets too great, then comes the "why not" comment.

Yup. Our operating principle was that if a question was asked in a code review, someone will likely have the same question when reading the code weeks/months/years from now and there should be a comment.
> It's the same with, for instance, email retention policies.

Indeed it is. The intention and moral purpose of email deletion policies is to reduce the risk of embarrassing or incriminating emails being turned up as part of a lawsuit or investigation -- in other words, to be unhelpful.

The legal justification for being unhelpful in both cases is that "this is just policy, we're treating everyone the same". That doesn't change the fact that in both cases the intent was to be unhelpful to investigators.

I agree with the argument laid out here. Series of small diffs with versions is a fantastic clean model.

When creating Graphite on top of GitHub, we chose to only support rebase model (despite the chaos that creates in GitHub timeline events). We also added “versions” support, which wasn’t too hard because GitHub holds on to old commits even if you force push over them.

A lot of what we try to build is the exact ideas this author is championing, in a way that’s compatible on top of GitHub. My dream is us and others help usher Eng back towards the patterns Phabricator and Gerrit helped start :)
