From the article, the primary risk factor for being pulled over isn't speeding, it is simply choosing to drive. People are traffic stopped based on an expected stream of revenue.

Better to violation mine a person driving an old beater full of kids than a salesperson in a late model on their way to a sales call. The poor person is more likely to rack up insurance, license, and registration violations. And they are more likely to show up in court without an attorney to negotiate fines down.

As mentioned in the article, a poor person driving slow must mean they have something to hide. Understandable though it is, the mistake is to imagine this is anything other than a retail business. The police officers are writing violations in order to fund their paychecks. The judges and prosecutors are imposing fines for the same reason.

Flipping the light from yellow to red when cars are in the middle of an intersection isn't law enforcement.

I'm really excited about the lazy matching. It's great to see because Task IDs are long and normally require cut/paste to get the exact matches. Now that task parameters are partial matches there's no need to type that long thing in.
Wedbush Says Software Industry at End of Golden Age
As a resident of North County this rings very true. I had a crack in my window. Several hundred to repair that I did not have. Worked part time minimum wage while in college. Need my car to get to work and school. Registration renewal came up. I could not get it renewed because I had a cracked window. Over the next few months going to work to make money to fix my window so I can renew my plates, I get five tickets from three jurisdictions. Then proceed to get a warrant because I lost track off all my ticket court dates and missed one. Get arrested, and finally have to beg my parents for the couple thousand I needed to get out of jail, pay off my warrant, pay my court costs, pay my tickets, fix my window and get my registration up to date. I am white and luckily have middle class parents to fall back on.
Only the claims define the power to block others from using the ideas in the patent.

In theory.

But remember that the patentee (that's the one with the patent) can always keep a "continuation" pending. With a continuation, the patentee can rewrite the claims however he wants. He can wait until your product is on the market and rewrite his claims to follow your product exactly. He could even sue you, lose for invalidity or noninfringement, and then rewrite his claims to more closely match your product and sue you again.

The only limit on claim rewriting is that the new claims have to somewhat reflect what's in the specification and have to be reexamined. Reexamination, like examination, is more a coin flip than an engineering evaluation of the patent claims. Reflecting the specification doesn't have to follow too closely what was in there originally but it does place some limit on the breadth of claim rewriting.

And rewritten claims have the same long ago priority date against prior art as the original claims. Your product does not count as prior art just because it was widely known when the new claims are written.

You just plug the USB dongle for the keyboard/mouse into a KVM. Works for the Logitech unifying receivers and the Logitech Bluetooth receivers.
And they may be based on 'memristor' technology, who's advantage is very low power and 3D physical topology.
It was far too ahead of its time. It still is.
I'm finding some bits odd.

Such as this:
http://jgm.github.io/stmd/spec.html#html-blocks

The tags listed are not a complete list of section elements (missing `address` and `nav`), nor the grouping elements (missing `main`), nor the embedded content elements (missing `area`, `audio`, `iframe`, `img`, `param`, `picture`, `source`, and `track`), and doesn't scratch the form elements (but yet the "HTML blocks" include `form`, `fieldset`, `textarea` and `progress`).

The tags listed also include child elements, rather than just the topmost parent elements that were listed in the original Markdown syntax: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html

So we have a list of arbitrary HTML elements that have been declared as "HTML blocks", some of these are not really "blocks", and some are clearly other things, and some things that perhaps should be included are not.

And reading through why this list exists creates a sense that the implementation difficulty (of having to produce a balanced tree) is dictating how Markdown must now be experienced by the users.

Example 99 is a great example of surprising a user by not doing what they think will happen and leaving them with a game of "Guess why it's not working.".

Reading this article reminded of the time, I used to go to community college, while doing a part time job and interning in downtown SF. In one semester I accumulate about $475 worth of parking and traffic fees. My schedule was too hectic that I could not afford to take public transportation and slow down. Being a working-person the United States is very stressful and undignified in some instances. You can't afford to make mistakes or get sick. In my case, I was lucky that the judge in SF granted me to do community services to pay off the majority of my fees.

Secondly, I am amazed why there are too many policing jurisdictions in each county. You have the City Police, County Police, Highway Patrol, local SWAT teams, and State Police, in addition to Federal and drug enforcement agencies. Too many inefficiencies and redundancies.

Classic problems:

Acquire a company, then do everything you can to sabotage it or ignore their expertise

Remind them they are just little guys now in the might corp empire.

Demand they launch a product whilst micromanaging them from a distant location that is already filled with people proven to be incompetent in product design.

Despite all this the WebOS team managed to launch a great product. Why? Probably because they love the product and want to share great work with the world.

It's really weird to call LG's webOS "a failed experiment" considering that everybody loves it (it's universally though of as the best SmartTV interface out there) and that their webOS TVs are selling like hotcakes.

Sure, the road there may not have been pretty at all, but it's the end result that matters.
I use ODataHQ for my embedded device projects, it's brain-dead simple to get a back-end API setup for my various projects. Like a database on steroids.
You don't happen to work for Google do you? ;)
I developed an app for webOS and was pretty involved in the development community. It really was a pleasure to work with.

The main problem developers had, even up to the HP acquisition was the lack of direct hardware APIs (access to the camera, etc...) and a late arrival for native development.

This seemed to really cripple webOS and I imagine that there was something about the architecture that made it hard to work with and move to new platforms, but I don't know.

It's pretty sad that almost everything about webOS starts with: "webOS was supposed to..." :(
Goddam the links on that article are annoying. None of them are sources, just links to general "topics" under bloomberg. Completely confusing.

That being said, this just shows how much power Goldman wields with the establishment and it was kind of a scary insight into their recorded weirdness. Basically they just said to the FBI that he stole the source code and he could possibly use the code to manipulate markets. This is a guy that writes the code to manipulate markets, but then he was a criminal, because he might do it for himself. The whole thing is insane IMHO.

Find me a business that doesn't squeeze suppliers and vendors to increase their bottom line

Are you saying the dealers were not within their rights to fight back and defend their piece of the supply chain? Or are you saying that using legislation was "cheating"? I'm a little confused.
Nice mnemonic. I'll try to remember that.
In the majority of markets where dealerships operate, the real estate turnover cost per vehicle is negligible, unless you're talking a major metro (Chicago, LA, NY, SF) or somewhere odd like Key West (there's a small Nissan dealership there with limited inventory.

You'll want a different name to avoid infringement claims, probably. DC doesn't own the word "Gotham" outright, but this might be a bit close for their comfort.

After perusing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicknames_of_New_York_City, I recommend "Empire City."

Edit: After a quick search on that name in conjunction with video games, all I could find was a 1986 arcade light gun game called "Empire City: 1931," and an unpopular 2013 mobile port of same called "Empire City Touch." I wouldn't think either of those would be an obstacle.
This technique reminded me of BriefCam- http://briefcam.com/

They figured out how to "summarize" video surveillance footage by attaching a hovering timecode to any object moving through the frame and then later it overlays several hours of footage into one video.

Man somedays I am just so happy to work for startups. I get to choose my own title. My last one was lead guitar, but it ended up confusing people so I changed it to just "lead". My current one is "software guy".

Edit: Oh sorry, I didn't know this was a serious topic, for serious discussion only. I'll just take my awesome title and go live it up, doing what the fuck I want. Have fun filling out your TPS reports.
Anonymous Function Blocks in Python (2013)
The Nano looked extremely impressive. I waited years for hardware to hit shelves, and to this day the options are pretty much a null set.

I'd buy up an Isaiah II board in a heartbeat, of course, but one of the biggest problems facing them in the consumer space (aside from all the marketing issues) is graphics. Intel and AMD both have extremely high-quality on-die graphics now, and to the best of my knowledge VIA cannot compete on that front.
Dear god finally.
Yes, and Darkcoin uses ECC-based blind signatures. [1]

Lack of anonymity is a huge problem with Bitcoin at the moment, IMO. As soon as you transact with someone, they can see all past and future transactions associated with your address using blockchain forensics.

Maybe we're getting our technocracy after all. Increasingly, it's people like Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, et al. - ones with enough resources to liberate themselves from the yoke of the greedy algorithm our economy is, and at the same time with enough understanding to know and care about important issues - that are shaping the future of mankind.
That's an unlikely assumption.

On what basis do you believe it is unlikely?

As an example I submit that test preparation courses like Kaplan do nothing but improve how well you'll do on a certain type of test without improving your general intelligence.

As another example I am quite aware of how much of an advantage I gain on tests from my ability to relax in a situation where other people tense up. I've described this advantage before with, "Comparing me to a normal person based on the resulting test score is like starting with two runners, taking one out back and beating on him for a while, then expecting them to run a fair race."

But if the government was formed by the market actors, and is composed of market actors, and is directed by market actors, are the actions of the government not the market acting on itself?
Interesting article from 2011 talking about why the NFL didn't give the "all 22" view to the teams:

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405297020371620...

"Lonnie Marts, a former linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars, says there are thousands of former NFL players who could easily pick apart play-calling and player performance if they had access to this film."

And another one for the conspiracy buffs:

"The NFL makes a handful of plays from the All 22 available on its web site for a fee, but they're often so blurry the players' numbers aren't visible."
Relatively low flying satellites are also a solution space debris as they only stay up a few years. The are much cheaper to launch so the fact that they don't last as long is not prohibitive.

I also do not feel surprised. LG is known for good hardware. Actually I'm typing this right now on a Nexus 5 from LG and I'm so thankful that the software is controlled by Google. The worst decision is to copy Samsung... really stop that LG. Samsung is not a ideal example how to do it right! Simplicity of usage without too much compromise on features is what the World wants. Samsungs software is also ugly IMHO. I'm guessing LG is not seeing the world market... in Asia people are obsessed by Samsung devices like USA is obsessed with iPhones. LG has much potential but I would never buy a LG product (which is controlled by LG) because of their bad software and bad software support. It seems they even do not support their engineers well. :(

You probably think it is because poor people speed more than non-poor people.
I would guess that all of us technically speed as soon as we pull out of our drive way. The difference is these places have cops enforcing speeding laws more rigidly
Prgmr is down
I'm on the west coast, Washington state. VPS provider prgmr is down for me. The main site at http://prgmr.com and also my server and web sites. Is it down for anyone else?
The counter argument is that simple tables are simple. And as silly as that sounds, a typical expository essay might easily include a 2 x 2 'table' to explain some principle (I call them McKenzie tables since every presentation from those guys seemed to include one or more). Or simple columnar data like the current price of the Macbook pro line, or any number of things that are represented easily and efficiently in a simple table. That is why I like Fortin's syntax something like:

| widgets | quality level | cut-off point
| :------- | :----------- | :------------
| frobs | 98% | 90%
| bolts | **65%** | 70%
| splangs | 85% | 80%

Reads easily in text and markdown's easily as well using multimarkdown (my current go to implementation). Use your CSS to style the selectors tbody, thead, and colgroup and you're off to the races.
Maybe "quasi-satellite" or just "quasilite"? It's like "pseudolite" but without the negative connotations.
Record Labels Take Down Kim Dotcom's Official Alumb from Mega
Aaaaand it's back up for me. Must have been a very temporary outage.
In many ways this is true, and in many ways it wasn't, I think.

webOS as a concept, way ahead, as an implementation, it had lots of prickly bits. Mojo (the UI SDK) was great to work with but only went so far. Palm and then HP tried to move forward with Enyo but came way too late, and they never delivered on promises of hardware access APIs.

Once it started changing hands, it was a lost cause, you just lose a lot of knowledge and passion when entire code bases get handed around to new teams. For a mobile platform to really do something good, it needs to be a few years ahead of the hardware it lands on. webOS was until HP acquired it, they had video recording before the iPhone (just barely) and the gesture area was perfect. The stuff Palm was working on right when HP grabbed them was also really amazing (synergy between devices among other things). But that overhead of transferring ownership made all these projects basically obsolete and in turn the OS :(
Your question suggests the answer. Jails are very often a revenue source. States and the Federal government often provide funds to build and operate the facilities. Courts impose fees on defendants to cover expenses. And of course there are all sorts monetization schemes that work when people have no options:

As for using it for military purposes - wouldn't any country it flies over that has the ability to detect it, just shoot it down?
with regard to "viral ignorance," the author notes:

A sense of cultural righteousness often leads to oversimplification (http://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2013/10/11/you-wont-b...) of complex issues, for example, as noted by PhD student David Banks in a blog post about feel-good clickbait phenomenon Upworthy. Sharing Upworthy videos to show your peers how compassionate you are can help the spread of false information. Many gloss over inequality, or present complex socio-political issues in a simplistic light, says Banks. “Ignorance goes viral,” he quips.
Serious question, does that make your job search harder when you leave to a place that doesn't hand out VP titles? People seem to be very particular about titles.

Edit: Why did someone down vote me for asking a question? Don't be so goddam sensitive.
Alternative Android Button Styles
Good day.

Like the ADT buttons, the Android Studio buttons don't suit me very well. Do you know of a way to make them more attractive, or to use another button widget without using an ImageButton?

Just be aware that Emacs Lisp is a rather ugly and (nowadays) non-conventional Lisp.

Good modern Lisps are Racket and Clojure. SICP is good, but if that's too hard, you can try "How to design programs" which starts from scratch.
That's great -- split diffs are a much more intuitive way to review most kinds of changes.

The next step will be to have smart split scrolling, so you don't have to leave gaping holes on one side or the other to accommodate additions/removals of large chunks of code (all the not-really-there blank lines can make it harder to grasp the flow).
The thing is, they are guidelines for the reviewers, not so much as the app developers.
