I work in the correction industry with devices like this one. Most devices don't have accelerometers in them so so the "motorized contraption" would not be needed, the picture is too blurry for me to make out what brand of ankle bracelet this is or I could tell you if it has one. GPS drift would make it impossible to tell if someone is moving in their house (Normally looking at GPS points shows a clustering around the house and sometimes as far as a 50+ meters outside their house.

As to those asking how he got it off, the article says it was "sliced" off so my guess is he cut the strap (then lied about the fall) which cut the fiber optic cable in the bracelet, he then reattached the fiber optic cable and taped it up. The police SHOULD have been sent as soon as they got a strap tamper alert but it appears they believed the fall story. Note most of the time police don't talk to the participants when this happens, rather a monitoring company staffs a call center then send recording of the call and notes to the user's supervisor who then can choose to alert the police. Apparently there is another way to get these off if the bracelet is loose enough that involves a plastic bag and sliding it off (a co-worker mentioned a video going around of it but I've never seen it) but due to the fact this article mentions they were alerted to it being tampered with I doubt that is the case.
This is great. Even being read-only is pretty good if I can figure out a way to sync to my Mac across the network. I'll give this a shot when I get home. My previous attempt was migrating from 1Password to pass, but that did not go so well. I'll let you know if it builds on FreeBSD, since that's what I use for all my desktops. Thanks for making this.
You're right, I noticed that in the article. I'll reorder them. They still desperately need to fix their security though.

edit: woops, looks like I cant edit it any more. bummer
SMB? There’s no such thing
Yeah some issues with the graphics causing credibility problems. But that's exactly what makes the presence work so well - "Patrick is in Thad's office, and they're both yelling!" Try that with any other tool
> Australia fails to do anything when their citizens are killed for a bit of cannabis

When has this happened?

I know Schapelle Corby served 9 years for cannabis trafficking, and I know there are two Australian men facing execution for heroin trafficking. Have Australians been executed for cannabis trafficking?

Thank you, that's much better... didn't think to check there.

Lucene is quite fantastic and Elasticsearch makes it a joy to use.

Still, I wonder what the overhead of Java is adding in this case. Even minor things like integer decoding can be done very fast with SIMD... but such approaches don't seem amenable to Java. I see that Elasticsearch exposes quite a bit of GC metrics, which must be a problem at times. And one of the Lucene devs wrote a post on how he replaced some parts with C++ and saw massive gains (but with a disclaimer that this was in no way indicative that Java wasn't fast).

I've considered trying to implement something like Lucene in, say, Rust, but then I see just how utterly massive Lucene is. Just the fuzzy search part alone required implementing code to generate code from a Russian PhD thesis they didn't fully understand.[1] So, no matter how many cycles the JVM is needlessly burning, Lucene just seems to advanced to write it without the overhead. (And maybe my intuition is just wrong and the overhead is only a few percent.)

I think QEMU is using used/dirty blocks in some way to handle this.
Well, but how? Tattoo them with a nano-needle?

It is one of their better selling MEAPs :) I have also put a lot of work into it. I don't think 2k is typical.
I agree with the interpretation that it's "its mind", referring back to the grammatically feminine "Staatsanwaltschaft". The individual prosecutor in this case would be referred to as a Staatsanwältin, and one of her male counterparts would be a Staatsanwalt. leo.org defines Staatsanwaltschaft only as: public prosecutor's office, department of public prosecution, office of the district attorney (etc.), making it clear that it refers to a government agency or competency rather than an individual person.

Edit: German Wikipedia agrees:

Ein Staatsanwalt (Kürzel StA, weibliche Form: Staatsanwältin), in manchen Staaten auch Procurator, Procureur bzw. Prosecutor genannt, ist bei Gericht oberster Vertreter der Anklage.

Die Staatsanwaltschaft (StA) in Deutschland ist eine weisungsgebundene Behörde, die für die Strafverfolgung und -vollstreckung zuständig ist und als solche ein Teil der Rechtspflege ist.
Oops, sorry for confusion, I've meant to ask about the Rebase merge requests before merge feature, not branch protection.
I think sentences in the U.S. are too long. That said, "Three Felonies a Day" is a shitty book with shitty examples.

Take these examples on the website: http://www.threefeloniesaday.com/Youtoo/tabid/86/Default.asp.... It's presented in the book as a small business owner convicted for selling undersized lobster tails in plastic packaging in violation of a new-longer valid Honduran law.

But in reality she was convicted by a jury for her role in a conspiracy to import $17 million in undersized lobster tails: http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2004/mar04/noaa04-.... There is a good debunking of it here: http://www.eenews.net/stories/1059964426.
You sound like you have an awesome commute; consider me incredibly jealous.

On the other hand, I think besides the commute itself is the freedom you get from not having to constrain yourself to living in places where the commute is doable. I work in downtown Seattle and I would love to move to the suburbs but I'm not sure it's really feasible to spend 45 minutes on the bus to get to work.

Why don't we run a water pipeline down from Oregon? In Portland they have so much water that their drinking fountains literally do not have an off switch. We run pipelines for oil all over the country, would it be that hard to run one for water?
