@ has a well known meaning in Spanish, it is the symbol of "arroba" which is an old unit of weight, like a pound, ounce, etc. I still remember hearing on the local markets sellers pricing their goods for its arroba weight. In fact, when we read an email out load we do not say someone at somwhere dot com, we say someone arroba somewhere dot com.
Not to defend the banks, but this reminds me of when a company declares bankruptcy and pays its executives bonuses. The argument is always that, no matter how flawed the executives' judgment is, it's better to have somebody doing the job than to have the executives jump ship.

I'm not sure the argument applies here, since I'm not sure how many companies were hiring executives during the time frame.
So what is current the most viable alternative?

- Was the child born (very early)?
- Did the mother have certain illnesses during pragnency?

Retrograde advantage. I listen to my scanner and have some aviation interests and it seems a depressing truism that nobody ever needs helicopter ambulance service right next to a wanna be helipad in perfect weather. The human pilots are quite skilled and seem to fly almost by feel in the worst conditions. Lots of on site judgment calls about winds and power lines and trees and obstacles.

Something I think likely / inevitable is assistant drones flying in formation with a rescue chopper very closely coupled to the chopper autopilot. Its easy for a surprise wind gust to kill a chopper, but if you have a perimeter drone force hovering in perfect formation 100 meters away, you have 100 meters warning for the autopilot to react and prepare. Not to mention the usefulness of a drone for exotic rescue (ferry that rope down the gully for us to climb down and reach the victim) or accident scene lighting under bad conditions.

I agree with you, and think that it would be downright dehumanizing to think that your wife's cousin doesn't have a purposeful/meaningful life.

My worry is that someone in Scooter's position has already been shuffled away. We don't know how Scooter perceives his situation, but we should be worried that he feels trapped, futile or meaningless.
Sure but so is the danger of going bankrupt for the banks or being completely nationalized.

Also the country would survive a depression if it really came down to that, the bank wouldn't survive a bankruptcy.

So the playing field are fairly even when it comes to having leverage.
People sitting in high places benefit every where, not just banking. It pays to be higher authority, regardless of your performance. Generally because the definition of good performance is fuzzy you can always twist it to your advantage.

I remember an instance in the past where a executive organized a 'hack day'. All he did was drop in email to the company cafeteria to have a tea and biscuits arranged. The dude didn't even show up to the event. At the end of the quarter I remember him getting a neat cash reward for 'thought leadership' regarding that hack day.

I don't think I'm doing anything too fancy, but who knows? I probably have too many conversions to Objective-C objects that I used to workaround beta compiler issues that are probably fixed by now, but I haven't found a lot of guidance on what to avoid (I'm declaring types pretty much everywhere) and since the compiler isn't crashing, the list of compiler crashes doesn't really help.

It's a shame because Swift is a neat language. But because Xcode doesn't support incremental compilation for Swift, a single character change causes the entire project to rebuild. Couple that with LLDB crashing because I'm including Objective-C frameworks (via Cocoapods), and the whole experience becomes absolutely terrible.

Its simple. People in the money chain-of-custody always take some. Corporation board members vote one another stock. Company executives (originally normal positions like secretary and treasurer, paid a normal salary) pay one another exorbitant sums. And bank employees always get paid.

For a quadcopter you need very fine control of the rotors, making a combustion engine hard to use. So then you will need to do combustion -> dynamo -> electricity -> electric motor.

>Isn't that the standard?

SQLCipher uses PBKDF2 as a standard mechanism to compute a key, however by default it uses a static iteration length, currently 64,000.

The problem is often that the device spread varies greatly and often a given application will target more than one device. You can watch our presentation covering the details here:

It may be unlikely, but not so unlikely that I think you'd manage to convince many to put someone in prison for it without additional evidence.

Expect lengthy trials with all kinds of details showing up that creates sufficient doubt to make it hard to justify a prison sentence.

For starters, unless HMRC can prove that you have received the money in a way that should be taxed in the UK, they have no reason to expect you to report the money, and so most people don't.

E.g. for my part I'm Norwegian, but have been ordinarily resident in the UK for the last 13 years or so. The first year I lived here, I was not ordinarily resident for tax purposes, and maintained accounts in Norway that HMRC had no expectation of knowing anything about, and no legal basis for me to report.

But if I had had a large enough fortune and income, it'd have been trivial for me to maintain a status as not ordinarily resident much longer, and legally avoid reporting any income due from work done outside the UK at that point. The same is possible for UK citizens who move out of the UK to work for some time. For me there was no point, since all my income came from the UK, and so I brought my money into the UK once I'd tidied up my Norwegian affairs.

If you wish to defraud the HMRC, then, and create plausible deniability, you move out of the UK, or at least spend enough time outside the UK for a few years to be able to claim that when you receive that X million payment from WeAreTaxEvaders Ltd. in the Cayman Islands, directly to your secret account in Switzerland, it is income due to you entirely from work done outside the UK in a period where you were not resident in the UK for income tax purposes. Then you move back, and conveniently don't tell the HMRC because, you will claim, it has nothing at all to do with them (of course it is not at all because you don't want to risk that they take a closer look at the paper trails related to WeAreTaxEvaders Ltd. and maybe find traces of payments from the UK etc., or a timeline that doesn't match when you were abroad), and you way have had legitimate reasons to want to e.g. invest in Swiss shares or whatever at a later date when you retire to a cabin in the Swiss alps. Or whatever. If you are telling the truth about this, it is none of the HMRC's business that the money is sitting there unreported.

This is the problem with going after these schemes: There are any number of completely legal - for good reason, often, - mechanisms that allow the unscrupulous to create sufficient plausible deniability that actually proving a case becomes incredibly hard. It's easy to sit and assume that of course these are tax evaders. Except some non-trivial percentage of them are not.

HMRC risks not only not getting the actual tax evaders imprisoned, but not getting their hands on the money either, if they go to court on insufficient evidence. Going after just the money is a lot easier since people are often willing to pay to make the threat of further investigation go away even if they see the risk of prison as remote.
I think there's always a level of technological pessimism with people. When I was a kid it was with computers. "This stupid thing? All its good for is holding recipes and I can get a recipe book that doesn't cost $3000!" Or when I was a teen, the pessimism of Mars missions was popular. I think there were 3 or 4 Mars movies all of which ended in disaster. Now its a boring budget line item at NASA.

The pessimists have been in high-gear lately about anything that removes human judgement from the equation. High profile anti-AI and anti-drone screeds are here to stay. I just think people buy into neo-ludditism very easily and lash out at automation because it says that humans aren't as important to the process as we thought we were. Ned Ludd vs progress is a story we have yet to learn from and are destined to repeat, probably endlessly, as automation and AI make more sense than human judgement and human risk in so many cases.

Our grandkids will be laughing at antiquated ideas like an error-prone human driver the same way we laugh at, say, riding a horse to work or hand-making things that are easily mass producible.
It's not the federal government, but my favorite example was a (legal) brothel went bankrupt in Nevada a few years ago. The state of Nevada took it over until they could find a buyer, and lost money on the deal.

It would look like a quadrotor, and therefore be more hip and attract more press and possibly more investments.

If I'm being generous, I'd say the advantages are:

- Safer than a helicopter due to rotor redundancy

- Easier to pilot

Disadvantages

- More expensive to build

- Less stable in flight

- Probably can't glide down with autorotation as well in case of engine failure

- Probably needs to run with a turbine generating electricity rather than directly using the engine to drive the rotor

- The ease of flying benefit can be solved in software anyway.

For simplicity lets assume the first three bytes are.
102 075 & 179

Now I am making few assumptions for a practical implementation of the technique.

PAT() = Units place of sum of all digits. (no claims made,just for an example)

Now I can replace the three bytes with the following values
033 and 036

I have also specially stated the challenges of retrieving this information as as of not there are no built in integrity checks.
Just playing devil's advocate, but isn't this true with many CMSs? Most implement "users" (and or groups) either in-house or using the underlying OS, and when it is the underlying OS the CMS needs access to all of the user's files anyway to make cooperation and interoperability work, essentially placing a big bullseye on the CMS system itself.
I wouldn't call that better. I'd much rather have a self escaping sql literal, something like:

var query = "select id, name from table where id = #{id:int}"
So, many large airplanes maximum fuel + maximum payload will be well above maximum takeoff weight. This is actually a good thing, as it means you have lots of flexibility about how you allocate that. Transporting a bulky but not especially heavy payload you can go max fuel and have tremendous range , without compromising the maximum load you can carry - it's just that when maxing the payload weight you may be taking off with tanks 20% full, or even a bit less.

> That's part of the job description for a graphic designer, but why shouldn't this rule apply to software developers, too?

I think there's a very obvious reason for this. And it's akin to an electrician telling you to drive through a populated neighborhood to see his handywork -- a designer can show you their work because it's public-facing and visible for everyone. A developer, on the other hand, can only show you open source work, or personal work that they have ownership of.

It's much easier for a designer to do this than a developer, and I think for this reason, many companies don't expect a portfolio from developers. It's often a nice-to-have, but they often rely on other aspects (coding exercises, Stack Overflow/Github profiles) to evaluate a candidate.
Not being sarcastic, but this sounds a bit like usenet. Would love to see that come back.

The people whose salaries are generated by not admitting their jobs are pointless?
Depends on their deficiency. Most the time they have several delays developmentally.

Our daughter has difficulty in path planning (fine motor). She was delayed walking and as a result had low muscle tone. Her attention (eye contact, joint attention) was also poor, which made learning other skills difficult. Since very young she would hyper focus on objects like strings and would tantrum when you try to transition her to new task or object. The objects were usually not appropriate or typical and her interaction with them was not considered typical (repetitive behavior).

She now walks, has great eye contact and joint attention and is learning new words everyday (though still has some speech issues). She also plays more creatively and appropriately with toys... it's really opened up so much for her.

Mostly these are play based therapies. The difference is the way that tasks are broken down. For a lot of kids you have to master and work on REALLY basic steps for a long time before moving to even basic things (like stacking rings or requesting an object).

Any kid would benefit from these therapies, there is no magic to them. It's time and observation. We set goals for her then work with specialists to break down the operations and work with her to master fundamentals. Each new skill tends to unlock all sorts of other skills.

ABA is a trial based therapy that has a lot of good and bad information out there about it. It is basically what I just described but in a much more structured and documented manner. It's one of the more researched methods of treatment and has been proven to be highly effective. It's again tailored to the child, so there is no good way of describing other than to say that it emphasizes mastery of skills, errorless learning (no negative responses for wrong behavior) and intense hours (some kids do 40 hours of ABA a week alone).

As I mentioned, each kid really has their own set of issues, so it's tough to say what will work for each kid.

I read a few Behaviorist books when she was diagnosed. A lot of the therapies/techniques are really just good parenting advice.

Huh, wow. I hadn't realized template strings can be used that way in ES6. Here I was ready to snark about sql injection. Instead I ended up learning that you can really tweak how these template strings get compiled into code, in such a way that you totally end up actually emitting $1 $2 stuff.

That's pretty awesome - I am using a SQL generation library (knex.js), which I'm admittedly happy with, but primarily because I don't like dealing with $1 $2 $3 in my own code.

Now if you had a way to programmatically expand an array (for an IN ($1 $2 $3) type of query where the array length isn't known ahead of time), I really wouldn't need to use knex.
Maybe someday... There is a lot of technology that needs to be developed between here and there... Current battery tech isn't even close to being able to manage this.

There are also a significant number of challenges that won't be easily solved with technology... In my experience, a significant number of emergency scenes do not have a readily accessible landing site within easy walking distance, and there are a lot of weather conditions that wouldn't trouble a ground based ambulance, but would ground this thing.
