Selling and using weed is also illegal in the Netherlands, but if someone from the Netherlands does that activity in the US (either by going there or by for example sending it via the mail), that person is still breaking the law in the US. The US and the Netherlands have an extradition policy for those cases.

The other way around though, the US has already indicated that if ever an American citizen (like IDK, Bush or Cheney or whoever) is going to be tried for war crimes in The Hague, they'd send in their military to extract them. WW3 material right there.

As for the copyright laws, it depends. It was never allowed to upload music and the like - i.e. seeding if you talk about torrent clients. IIRC some leaked Megaupload emails / internal communications indicated that some of the staff was uploading material themselves (but I could mis-remember that)

The question was whether they'll make the whole OS open source, not just some bits of it. (Microsoft produces some open source, too.)
Adding a phone # to my G Account for “recovery” = people hacking my phone?
Google says I should make my account more secure by adding a phone number for password recovery.

However, I don't believe my phone is secure. I've read too many stories (@N on Twitter, etc.) about phone companies getting social engineered.

So I removed the recovery phone number (and e-mail address) from my Google Account.

I'm not going to forget my password, and if I drop my 2fa device in a lake, I still have the backup codes.

So I'm not worried about me goofing up and losing access to my account.

But I am VERY worried about a hacker resetting the password to my account.

Is Google's account recovery procedure LESS secure if I don't have a phone added to the account? Is Google willing to grant a password reset request with LESS info if I don't add the phone?

What I really want is a way to lockdown my account that says "No password resets, ever, no matter what."
Could you say something about why `unsafePerformIO` is unsafe in the presence of laziness?

I know `unsafePerformIO` can be used to violate the type system in combination with `IORef`s, for example, but I don't see what laziness has to do with it.
>It seems to [...] make me more likely to ask to be payed in cash when doing business with companies that seem to be in the gray area of the law.

Money paid in cash still needs to show up in the books of the company and your tax statement. If it doesn't, you just handed them another opportunity to make you hang - tax fraud is nothing to trifle with.

> You are doing the job of the scheduler which is like being teleported back to Windows 3.1.

Indeed it is. The difference is that modern programming techniques are good enough that we can do this with minimal overhead. Like how modern fighter planes have gone back to being aerodynamically unstable.

> Therefore this thing exists: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.1.0/api/twisted.interne.... and I had to use it often enough. Because what happens is two clients would start 2 concurrent callback chains, and if they start updating some shared data ( a database or internal structure ) you've got a data race and you need to use the DeferredSemaphore.

That's one approach, but as you say it simply recapitulates the problems of traditional multithreading. If that were the only option, we might as well use threads and mutices.

But there are other options. We can accumulate effects that need to happen as a single transaction through our async chain (state monad) and then execute them all at once, with no possibility of yielding in the middle. In languages with true concurrency we can use an actor; in single-threaded event-driven interpreters we don't even need that. We get a model that has the power of open-and-close transactions (whether they be database transactions or or mutices), but is clearer and simpler to reason about.

I seem to remember that the UK downgraded the yield of its Trident warheads to be in the range 0.3, 5–10 and 100 kt - Wikipedia has this as "speculative" but I do remember it being reported a while back.

[The wildly different yields apparently coming from unboosted primary, boosted primary and full "multi-stage" - presumably the latter being achieved by removing the secondary].
I would be surprised if any correlation were spurious (assuming that the correlation is highly statistically significant and thus not a product of chance).

The United States can request an extradition for crimes committed by an individual(as argued under the US law). However this does not mean that the Netherlands has to comply. If a Dutch person committed a crime in the Netherlands according to the US, but its legal here, he/she will NOT be extradited. The same is true if the punishment is unreasonably severe according to Dutch law (death penalty.). For the latter there is a clause in our Dutch-US extradition agreements however you can still argue against this in court. (trias politica). It also stated in the treaty that the Dutch convicted can serve their jail time in the Netherlands. The punishment is then even converted to Dutch punishment standards.

There have been cases where it was argued that US electronic law (hacking and piracy cases) is not fair to the accused. This however does not always help.

This will however not help if you refuse a hearing on this. The article states: "Nomm agreed to waive his extradition hearing in the Netherlands"

2. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ is the best effort I've seen. Still has all the problems of benchmarks (that is, it should be seen as giving an upper bound for performance of a particular tech stack, which you will almost never reach in practice), but it at least gives you end-to-end numbers on something like a realistic problem.
Estimation? It's Complicated
Whoops, you're right. That's embarrassing. I naively assumed Toyota was representative of the industry as a whole.

You make a good point. I could see Tesla being worth somewhere in the magnitude of $10-50 billion, but not $75.

Why use so many levels of markdown headers? That prevents pasting parts of changelog as a section of another document (e.g. release notes), creates cacophony of fonts when converted to html, and is overall unnecessary because it adds no meaning nor reading convenience. It looks like this guy is overcomplicating quite a simple thing.

I've been maintaining changelogs for pretty much all my career, in simpler format:

- at the top of file go unreleased changes, without a header

1.6.1: 2005-01-22
- fixed: one
- fixed: another

1.6: 2004-11-18
- fixed: this
- added: that
- redesigned preferences dialog

There is zero markup noise here, and when interpreted as markdown it looks just as nice.

Please, give it a rest on this "banker" polemic nonsense.
It does, though, in at least two ways:

1. There's little reason (a prior) to think that there would be much higher variance in the level of manufacturing defects than with any other consumer product, so knowing the average provides a pretty useful approximation for the quality of the product.

2. The individual homeowner should be purchasing homeowner's insurance, and the insurance companies use the average to approximate the risk, which allows them to shield the homeowner.

New products have risks that have been dealt with effectively in the past. There's no reason to think that Tesla's batteries will be any different.

I respectfully disagree completely. The Apple keyboard is one of the best non-mechanical keyboards I've used. Typing on a cheap Logitech keyboard is the worst thing ever.
How far off do you think that might be? The benchmarks are appealing and the optimizations seem like a no brainer (I know easier said than done). What holds this back from being production ready, more Rspec?

Off topic now but Truffle looks slightly more interesting than Topaz.

This war has most likely stayed low level because both countries are aware of their nuclear capability.

Probably not the happiest of developments but an all-out war is unlikely between nuclear powers.
By that logic, authors of filesystems, ssh, TCP/IP should go to jail. Quick, let's sue the Oxford dictionary! Military style raid on DARPA for inventing the internet! Oh, wait ... that's the military. Can't we have our cake and eat it too? Talk about political sham oldboy network rent-a-justice. Legal systems need to be decentralized, their interpretation and processes transparent. Perhaps a forward thinking country like Ecuador might be up for the challenge? I exclude Estonia as they are embroiled too much in EU legalese to have much of a chance of a running escape.
Revealing Unknown Leaflet Functions
For a design oriented article, it has an absolutely horrible design. The article itself is poorly written with contradictions. For example, the author writes about a 90's IBM Thinkpad but gives a screenshot of a Lenovo Thinkpad. The asus keyboard does have a page up/page down function (The up/down arrow used in combination with the function key provides this functionality)
23 pages in two-column Calibri 10pt ... I'm going to spare that one for lunch break.
A TL;DR would be useful. Is there a focus or a direction or a point somewhere in the article? I've read the first few pages but it's just a meandering nothingness so far.
Slightly misleading headline, but after reading the article I have to admit I have been in the same position myself. After years or pilling on HDDs, I now have a small collection that would be better used as a side storage. Sadly I haven't been able to find any decent solutions (i.e. good price/quality ratio). You either go with expensive NAS solutions, or find feeble HDD enclosures that are prone to failure. Has anyone found something good to house 3-4+ HDDs that can be accessed via USB?
I work in Law Enforcement, so feel to disregard my opinion as biased , however, 75% of my work relates to child exploitation material, and an enormous amount of child abuse material disappeared from easy access when mega-upload went down. I used to find computers with lists and lists of megaupload urls. When that method died out a little beacon of happy shone for me.
Now I understand that free movies trumps removing abusive material, and as rapidshare and others took a more reasoned approach the child abuse material slipped into TOR and then i2p (after we brought the house down repeatedly on lolitacity and similar places in TOR). So it was more of a temporary reprieve. But those still at it have to work a bit harder and I'm happy about that.
It's all about the free movies right? Well if that's your world, you're lucky.
It will be on the books but maybe as something else.

I don't mind paying tax but I'd rather not get arrested for something a person I do business with did.

This is the chilling effect this kind of behavior by the state has.

It make people less willing to share real information with the government since it could potentially get them arrested just to make an example of them.

It's all about trust and this kind of behavior makes me not trust the government or the law.

People can be proud of a good spirit, quality, attitude and wear something about it to not only show off but also encourage other people. But this is different from bringing your work life into your social life by painting a job title on your tshirt.

IMO it's better to strip the 'Entrepreneurs' part and leave maybe "Let's make shit happen". At least it sounds more cheering to me.
That is a loaded example that deliberately leaves out the implementation details to disguise the productivity gains. If you really can't see the productivity difference between writing this:

const vals = ['#hp','#mp','#gp'].map(x => $(x).val());

And this:

var elems = ['#hp','#mp','#gp'];
var getVal = function (x) { return $(x).val() };
var mtVals = [];

for (var x = 0; x < elems.length; x++) {
mtVals.push(getVal(elems[x]));
}

... then maybe you should actually go read some of those programming books you're so dismissive of.

Exactly. Did they carefully check for family history of psychosis?

Most of these studies do not look carefully at family history and the ones that do find that heavy cannabis users have more family members with psychosis, fully explaining any link between cannabis and psychosis.

Similarly, people who study math have a greatly increased rate of psychosis, but nobody warns kids against studying math because the math-psychosis link is fully explained by family history/genetics.

Before people become overtly psychotic there is a long "prodomal" period where they are just a bit weird, in this prodomal period period pre-psychotic people can have an interest in math and cannabis.

It's interesting that the UK uses solely submarine-launched missiles and the rest of the world isn't represented by nuclear submarines at all. I would imagine there are a few advantages to submarines, such as stealth, range, ability to lie dormant or operate far from home for long periods, etc. Why only the UK? Are plane-delivered warheads 'better' in some tactical capacity? Or does the delivery essentially not really matter and each country is using their most economical technology?

Also, it's a really sad infographic. I visited Hiroshima last year and it was heartbreaking (also a very beautiful city).
Actually this whole stack is designed with SSR in mind, see the related package react-nexus (which I will soon blog about, too!) :)

The problem is that Greece doesn't export much of interest to the rest of the world. They should (and could) change that.

> It seems that only people smoking strong cannabis strains, and smoking daily, were at risk.

This is simply not true.

> “Compared with those who never used cannabis, individuals who mostly used skunk-like cannabis were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder if they used it less than once per week, almost three times as likely if they used it at weekends, and more than five times as likely if they were daily users,” the paper notes.

Despite, or maybe because of, the several thousand nuclear weapons ready to be deployed at short notice we get this from Steven Pinker in his book 'The Better Angels of Our Nature':

• Zero is the number of times that nuclear weapons have been used in conflict. Five great powers possess them, and all of them have waged wars. Yet no nuclear device has been set off in anger. It’s not just that the great powers avoided the mutual suicide of an all-out nuclear war. They also avoided using the smaller, “tactical” nuclear weapons, many of them comparable to conventional explosives, on the battlefield or in the bombing of enemy facilities. And the United States refrained from using its nuclear arsenal in the late 1940s when it held a nuclear monopoly and did not have to worry about mutually assured destruction. I’ve been quantifying violence throughout this book using proportions. If one were to calculate the amount of destruction that nations have actually perpetrated as a proportion of how much they could perpetrate, given the destructive capacity available to them, the post-war decades would be many orders of magnitudes more peaceable than any time in history.

Amazing.
And it handles like a brick in a vacuum. The momentum taking you of your lane in a corner at 20km/h is just ridiculous.

There's a long history of really good ideas on theory and in publications, that when it comes to actual implementation suddenly tear themselves apart due to all the practical compromises that always arise.
Flushed out of the UK after a toilet manufacturer turned down his designs, Jony Ive, who is friends with Stephen Fry, Bono and lots of other celebs, clicked with Steve Jobs and now wants to retire but is chained in by the watch and the billion objects he designed that were sold, so he is driven around in a Bentley but hey he can get rid of Job's awful taste in calendar apps designed to look like the interior of his (now Ive's) private jet. The Apple store will have carpets because no one will buy a watch on a non carpeted floor.
TL;DR via Article Summariser (Chrome extension):

Ive is uncomfortable knowing that a hundred thousand Apple employees rely on his decision-making-his taste-and that a sudden announcement of his retirement would ambush Apple shareholders.

The Apple Watch-the first Apple device with a design history older than its founder, or its designer-was conceived "Close to Steve's death," Ive said.

John Gruber, an influential Apple blogger, has written that the prices may be "Shockingly high ... from the perspective of the tech industry," but perhaps "Disruptively low from the perspective of the traditional watch and jewelry world." Sebastian Vivas, the director of a watch museum maintained by Audemars Piguet, the Swiss manufacturer, recently described his industry as unperturbed by Apple's plans: "We're not afraid; we're just a little bit smiling." It would be a greater threat, he told me, if men widely accepted that they could wear gemstones without a time-keeping pretext.

Ive has begun to work with Ahrendts, Apple's senior vice-president of retail, on a redesign-as yet unannounced-of the Apple Stores.

And here's an excerpt:
---
Gabor began to read about a group of American scientists who had carried out something called the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study. It is the most detailed research ever conducted into the long-term effects of early childhood trauma. It looked at ten different terrible things that can happen to a kid, from physical abuse to sexual abuse to the death of a parent, to track how it shapes that child over their lifetime.

These scientists discovered that for each traumatic event that happened to a child, they were two to four times more likely to grow up to be an addicted adult. Nearly two-thirds of injection drug use, they found, is the product of childhood trauma. This is a correlation so strong the scientists said it is “of an order of magnitude17 rarely seen in epidemiology or public health.” It means that child abuse is as likely to cause drug addiction as obesity is to cause heart disease.18

Another long-term study, published in American Psychologist,19 followed kids from the age of five until they were eighteen, to figure out how much the quality of your parenting while a child affects your drug use as you get older. When the children were still small, the scientists gave them a task to carry out with their parents—like piling up building blocks—and then they watched how well the parents helped and encouraged them through a one-way mirror. They wrote down which kids had parents who were loving and supportive, and which had parents who were disengaged or nasty to them. It turned out the kids whose parents had been either indifferent or cruel were dramatically more likely to heavily use drugs than the others. They had grown up, they found, less able to form loving relationships, and so they felt more angry and distressed and impulsive a lot of the time.

If we can figure out at the age of five which kids are going to be addicts and which ones aren’t, that tells us something fundamental about drug addiction. “Their relative maladjustment,” the study found, “precedes the initiation of drug use.” Indeed, “Problem drug use is a symptom, not a cause,20 of personal and social maladjustment.”

This is nonsense. Of course the plan is to save Greece by turning it into a productive, normal European state, so it can eventually pay back the money that was lent to it. However, this is unlikely, and it is also important to avoid a contagion via bank defaults, when Greece's debt will finally be written of -- of course everybody knows that Greece is bankrupt.
