IPv4 specs forbid NAT. VPN and firewalling are also counter to the spirit of IP, if not the letter.

Reminds me of a situation in Brighton, where the council is forcing people to move bike sheds from their own front gardens, while allowing cars to continue to be parked willy-nilly. As a journalist writes [1]:

I suppose it depends on how you view a street scene. A small shed is, for me, considerably less intrusive than a parked car. And yet the residential streets of Withdean are full of cars. But that’s seen as normal. Bike stores are not.

More anomalous still is the fact that if you have a sufficiently big front garden and don’t live in a conservation area you can, in most circumstances, turn that garden into a driveway to leave your car, without the need for without planning permission. There are conditions on using water-permeable materials to avoid cumulative flood risks, but it’s fairly straightforward.

I don’t know about you, but when if comes to local impact I’d say a driveway containing a Humvee (or even something smaller) might be slightly more significant than a discreet bike shed.

The Truth About the Left Brain / Right Brain Relationship (2013)
Oh goody an article that is more than 2 years old. Thanks for the link I've learnt so much from it.

Like how I should ignore anything posted by dotcoma
I don't think this evidence would count as fruit of the poisonous tree based on exceptions 1 and 2.

1. This investigation couldn't have been the result of other, illegally obtained evidence. It started from the publicly known Silk Road site, and didn't rely on previously known information about DPRs identity, nor on any "lucky coincidences" that could be set up using other information.

2. The vulnerability was easy to encounter even by accident. Unless it took a very large number of login attempts to activate the CAPTCHA, any serious investigation would hit upon this.

The only way I can see the evidence being bad is if they made it up completely. That is unlikely since Silk Road has had similar exposures in the past (http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1dmznd/should_we_b..., http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1b1lvy/warning_the...)

If they really had his info from an illegal search, they could make a better story without forging evidence by using parallel construction, e.g. claim that they investigated him based on his Stack Overflow posts.
I'm not sure they(FBI) are under any obligation to even make packet logs? Are there laws dictating this? I would think they would have just made note of the IP and the circumstances of uncovering it on paper with pen and then called it a day. Maybe save out a few raw packets. The IP address isn't the evidence against him, it was just their initial lead on the physical server...
In addition to the many other reasons people have given, there actually is a fairly regular stream of news stories from NYC about drivers driving onto the sidewalk and/or into buildings and hurting/killing people walking on the sidewalk or even inside!
It's not at all obvious to me that poisoned fruit doctrines have no correlation to police misconduct, and I think it's not obvious to the many people I've talked about this with in meatspace. Do you have sources to back up that claim?
Yes, being able to look up and implement an algorithm once you've been told its name is a useful skill.

However, being able to look at a problem and recognise that it is a specific instance of a well-studied problem with libraries already written to solve it is a different skill. Ultimately, someone on the team has to realise that the problem they're trying to solve is linear programming.
I think tone is the correct argument against it.

It is essentially kitsch, in font form, and because of that it's going to devalue the information it presents in many contexts, and is thus only likely to go unregarded in contexts where kitsch is basically expected.

I recently received a letter from the Finnish employment department demanding more documentation of an alleged business interest. This is a government official making a request that potentially threatens my livelihood.

As an emotive impact, it was very much like your "cartoon dog". Imagine getting a Garfield condolence card as a layoff notice, or seeing a :) smilie at the end of a foreclosure notice. It seems to immediately impart a lack of respect for the gravity of the situation.
A judge is supposed to be neutral, but a prosecutor isn't. This isn't an issue of brutality, we would need stats on the number of illegal searches conducted in different countries and we would need to know that these stats were accurate. This might be difficult because most illegal searches probably go unreported.

Do you know how much of Amazon is publicly traded? How much of Amazon is held by the Amazon management team?

You're correct in asserting that the shareholders are entitled to direct the board to do their will. However, you seem to be assuming that the publicly traded shares of Amazon a) have significant voting rights, b) are a large enough share to be significant, and c) are not held in majority by those within the company.

I can't find information on either of these three... so I continue to assume it's entirely possible that Amazon's publicly traded share holders are a minority, with little voting rights.
A footnote in the Agent's declaration even suggests Parallel Construction:

After Ulbricht’s arrest, evidence was discovered on his computer reflecting that IP address leaks were a recurring problem for him.

It continues on to specify specific instances of leaked IP information, which is completely irrelevant hearsay if the stated means of discovery were supported by properly documented evidence. Instead it provides circumstance in which it seems likely that the server could have been discovered through such a leak. If the server were discovered through illegal means, this information would have been useful in the construction of a technically plausible sounding alternative means.

I'm not claiming that the discovery was illegal, but weev is spot on in his demand for evidence.
>> Isn't it the court's job to establish guilt?

> The Court's job is ensure that the defendant receives due process.

Thank you for being the first commenter to give an answer to the actual question.

However, I do not think it really holds water. It does not seem to be the case that the prosecutor is the one to actually establish guilt. The guilty verdict is reached by a jury and a judge.

These get to value evidence according to a multitude of reasons, one of which is if it was acquired legally.

> wouldn't you agree maintaining such a system is more important than ensuring every last (actual) criminal who makes it to trial is convicted?

Oh, absolutely. The question is why principle would help? To put it very blunt, "if we let a few criminals loose then the police will stop breaking the law" does simply not make sense to me.

The widespread idea in the comments below that police somehow "profits" when someone is convicted does not make sense to me either.

ECMAScript 6 modules: the final syntax
> Stop making up stuff. I never said GC is in the language specification; instead was responding _specifically_ to your own statement about C# being supported well by the Mono runtime.

Sorry you've got it backwards, you're the one who introduced the .NET Framework vs Mono and their differing GC implementations as a valid comparisons for Dart (which they're not):

> C# is an ECMA standard too; how well did Mono fare in the early days and even now after more than ten years?

I've just corrected you in both cases that the Mono compiler has excellent support for the (C#) language specification which it does, valid C# both compiles with the Mono C# compiler and runs on the Mono VM fine. The language specification was what made this possible. The issues that you cite in the early days have no basis for comparison with Dart, which are instead side-effects from re-implementing a closed implementation like ActiveX (another incorrect comparison) should anyone else had chosen to re-implement it.

The fact is the Dart platform couldn't be any more open than it is already: it's completely open source, has a language specification, has multiple compliant open source implementations (Dart VM + Dart2JS), has open patent grants, develops in the open, accepts external contributions, features are prioritized and driven by user feedback, encourages re-use and adoption.

The Mono team were instead forced to create the VM and compiler from scratch and had to re-implement and reverse-engineer .NET's vast class libraries and API's (which don't have specs), precisely because they're not able to re-use the existing implementation. The Mono team are actually very happy whenever Microsoft releases some of their .NET libraries as Open source which they've been able to re-use as-is. Thus none of the issues you've brought up applies to Dart which is entirely Open Source that both supports and encourages embedding and re-use.

Instead of Mono and ActiveX, the JVM and open source OpenJDK implementation or examples of embedding V8 like node would've been better comparisons.

> Our positions are very clear here, and we disagree. That's fine.

Whilst I disagree with your invalid comparisons, I'm ok with the rest of your comments in which you're only stating your opinions and beliefs. In contrast, I believe innovations like Dart are going to help move the web forward and enable richer experiences and already improves the development of large web apps .

I think the example that you linked[1] is quite strange. If you are going to write a form letter —
"Dear Sir or Madam" —
then, yes, you don't want a font that makes things look personal, like Comic Sans. Also "this note looks like it was written by a 12 year old"? Have you seen the handwriting of a 12 year old?

That is, perhaps, a good indication of the disconnect between how professionals trained in graphic design perceive something and how the vast majority of the public perceive it. Most people wish their handwriting looked as neat and legible as Comic Sans. It doesn't look like it was written by a twelve year old, it looks like unprofessional. Which is why people like it.

Many people, when they see something they wrote in a standard computer font, think that it looks wrong. It doesn't look like their words any more, it looks too cold, formal, impersonal, professional, machine-like. They don't want their words to look like something that has been reviewed by a series of editors, run by the legal department and then sent to the team of graphics artists for final layout.

Comic Sans looks warm, friendly, human, and informal.

Everything you list as aesthetic defects are exactly the characteristics that make Comic Sans successful.

Would you be interested in a service where you could outline a meal plan for say, a week, and then get all the groceries required for those meals? I think the service would be more valuable as something that fusses the traditional on-line grocery shopping experience with this per-meal ingredients offering based off of recipes..

It would also be neat if you could allow people to store customized versions of recipes. Say they like more carrots in a particular soup, etc.

Its entirely subjective. I for instance can't recognize comic sans or any other font than Courier by sight. So for me it carries no insult.

So again, what's wrong with that font? Nothing, intrinsically. Its all in the 'internet meme' part that says its passé. Quit subscribing to that (or like me, never emotionally invest in any silly meme) and the issue disappears.
Thank you for taking the time to actually answer the question, despite the sea of downvotes.

That is quite heaving reading for someone not up to speed with the US justice system. I have to admit I will save it for a rainy day.

Failing the Startup Game at Unbabel – Take 2
This business about taking out the road signs and so on is called "naked streets", and is part of a broader "shared space" theory. It is far from settled that it is a helpful tool in any situations, let alone all situations.

We have to be very careful in interpreting the outcomes of experimental applications of naked streets (or other large interventions). Firstly, because of a Hawthorne effect - when a road is changed, drivers become more cautious because it's different, so safety improves, whether or not the change itself improves safety. Secondly, because it's a change that is very context-specific; naked streets seem to work well if the motor traffic level is intrinsically (or is engineered to be) low, but that doesn't mean they're a good way to handle a flow at a higher level.

The English example you may be thinking of was Exhibition Road, in Kensington, London. This rather long blog post takes a good look at it:

> Why just pretend?

Do you mean to say that there is any substantial evidence to the contrary? If so, you should elaborate.

> No. But bad technical execution is usually an undesired property, no matter what tone I want to set with a certain typeface.

OK. Please let me know what exact technique is being executed badly and how. Just dropping "bad technical execution" out of nowhere without substantiating or explaining the claim in any way isn't a valid argument.

Only if you're trying to scan the entire address space.

For an attack like the one used here (where they found the IP) then there is no difference.

It's not really the Agent's job to make such legal determinations? If I was doing forensic analysis on a server under such circumstances I would have made note and reference to that as well. Again, the IP address leak isn't the real evidence anyway and I don't see how the FBI is on the hook to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they got the IP address the way they said they did. His attorneys are spinning a yarn and poking the FBI's story because it's their job, but I think we should not be suggesting the FBI is guilty of something and must be required to prove their innocence. If the FBI have the logs they should answer in kind, however I don't believe the absence of such logs is going to or should help his case any.
Depends how you use it. When someone uses a font like Comic Sans sparingly, you can infer there's something special about this text. That maybe, this particular snippet is either a joke, or an informal formulation, or an XKCD quote. It can indeed be the author signalling that this snippet should not be taken very seriously.

But if the font is used by default, you cannot reasonably infer credibility from it. If the whole thing feels less credible or less serious anyway, then it's a status issue.
All aesthetics are subjective, because they are based primarily on associative memory.

That's not an argument against their value, that's merely a refusal to acknowledge it.
There are quite a few open source grids out there already. What features are you planning and how are you going to set this apart from the other grids. For instance, my favorite grid is dgrid [1]. Go to their main site and go to the features [2] (scrolling down just a bit there will give you a comparison table to other grids) and let us know if you plan on implementing any of those (especially i18n) or if you're going to have any differentiating features.

I'd say the problem is that Comic Sans is already an established meme. Everyone who knows what Comic Sans is already knows that it's bad, and a design smell, and you absolutely positively should never ever use it for anything. Of course, the little know secret that was just brought up here is that no one really knows why. It doesn't matter to them. There are some good reasons to restrain yourself from using that font in some situations, but current attitude towards Comic Sans is pure fashion.

It's the exact same situation as programmers have with goto - there's this widely established meme of "goto considered harmful" that most have heard somewhere, but have no clue why it's so except that it is. Only few of us know why using goto leads to bad consequences (and what those consequences are); even fewer could name situations where goto is a right tool for the job. For the rest, it's fashion.

The local governments invariable claim it's not about the money; it's about safety or some such. I want an amendment that puts all the money from fines, seizures, etc. to the national debt.

Yep, this is a status thing, but it's a really odd one.

If you come to apply to a job, and your resume is Comic Sans, you're wearing torn-up clothes, you haven't had a bath in a while, and your English is sub-par? I'm going to make some inferences about your ability to do the job based on the status signalling you're giving me.

But in this case, the person providing the information is, obviously, the one offering the favor. He is, in fact, providing information that the consumer wants to consume. So it's his complete decision how to do that. After all, he's not asking a favor of the audience, and if they want to discount the information based on a font choice? That says a lot more about them than it does about him.

Reminds me of "eye dialect", where an author chooses to purposefully mis-spell words in order to show dialect and have a more emotional impact on the speaker. Many readers hate that stuff. Sometimes I find it really annoying. But heck, that's art. Man wants to spend an hour telling you about something important, you either get past the font choice or go somewhere else.

Weird thing, font snobs. It's like they don't have anything better to complain about, so they just search around for whatever they can find.

Ukraine War Crisis * Ukraine Military  Battle Shooting on Slaviansk
Actually I am still using Handsontable (while Sensei Grid is under development) and have been using it for quite some time. Handsontable is not stable enough and has too many bugs, at least for our particular use cases. Handsontable is also resource heavy and quite complex - we rather prefer something simple and straightforward that is not a pain to maintain.

There are currently 571 open issues[0] for Handsontable on Github. Each new release breaks something major and we can't wait forever for them to fix the issues. I wrote two blog posts regarding this (without mentioning Handsontable, but it was the library in question):

* http://lauris.github.io/development/2014/08/25/work-and-open...

* http://lauris.github.io/datazenit/2014/08/29/open-source-wor...

These articles may shed some light on why did we start development on our own library.
