If your metric is time spent in jail by innocent people, then the optimum is obvious: don't prosecute anyone.
It sounds like they are keeping it around, but it will no longer be a layer across all Google products, just a standalone app for those who want it (as it should be).
> It works with simple feature phones that often are allowed into sensitive environments where smartphone are not, because they have only voice and text-messaging capabilities and presumably can’t be turned into listening devices by spies.

I have no idea where they got this information from, because it is absolutely false in DOD classified environments. Anything that can be used as a recording device or that can transmit information wirelessly is restricted or prohibited, and personally-owned examples are strictly prohibited. In very strict environments, even receive-only electronics may be restricted.

I am not personally aware of any policy that makes a distinction between "smartphones" and "feature phones". The only thing I have ever seen referenced is phones with cameras, and even that was only for visitors in the unclassified areas.
Im really surprised this still works with the ubiquitous use of ad block in the tech circle.
My solution is much better.

Any plea deal should now represent 50% of the maximum fine. So if the prosecution offers a plea deal of 6months, then the best they can get out of a guilty verdict is 1 year.

Make there be a downside to offering a plea deal that is rejected.
The actions of the North Korean government borders on genocide, if you have that level of contempt for your own people then trade sanctions are ineffective. However, in the case of Iran they appear to have done what they were intended to do, the stories I've seen from Iran indicate that the trade sanctions were a large part of what brought Iran to the negotiating table. Does this tie up with what you've read/seen?
> They asked me to pay the $200 first (which I did). After a couple of days, they banned me for no reason.

That's very confusing. You're claiming they banned you for "no reason" but don't have any issue with the supposedly unjust $200 cleaning fee.

Either BOTH the ban & cleaning fee are unjust, or neither of them are. It seems strange that you're upset about the ban but perfectly happy to pay $200 towards something you claim that never occurred.

I literally don't understand where you're coming from. I'd be much more upset about the cleaning fee (and would outright refuse to pay it). But instead you seem like you know you made a mess that needed to be cleaned up, and are just upset that they still banned you after paying it (i.e. you feel that because you pay, a ban is unfair).

I also noticed that you didn't answer my question about drinking either before hand or while in the vehicle.

What on earth makes you think that brains, lungs, intestinal tracts, and bones are unappetizing to dogs?

It's irritating enough that people have conditioned themselves to believe that farmers raise pork chops, not pigs. Skillfully prepared, offal meats are delicious, and also a central part of the cuisines of many cultures.

But to suggest that a dog has a problem eating offal? Too much.
While the examples given do highlight areas where a bug could do critical damage to a company, there are plenty of ways to break things that cause problems for users. If you put code through at least a lightweight review process you can filter out many of these bugs.

While post commit review might work for smaller changes I would rather err on the side of caution and use precommit review. We deploy about the same number of times/day/engineer at my company, so I don't think that the review process is what drives that metric.
Evolving landscape of the (mostly) open source container ecosystem
Capital hasn't always been a lopsided thing. There was a time when a great number of people had access to productive land, and had the means to survive without relying on "employment".

The industrial revolution changed this dramatically.

I'm sure you have heard the term "wage slavery". Sure you can argue: "hey at least you know your birthday now, and technically we don't own you". But that's ignoring the fact that we have still robbed that person of free will because we have robbed them off the means of production. Saying that " they can quit if they want " is equivalent to saying a slave can kill himself if he doesn't like it.

I'm not saying that the situation hasn't improved. Slavery has changed, it is a more sustainable model now, with less chance of uprising, as people such as yourself actually defend it even though chances are, you are on the wrong side of it (I.e you sell your own labour rather than benefit from others labour in order to survive).

But it is still a massive inequality and it literally robs people of choice in their life.
very cool man. I wish you the best of luck :).
We're thinking along the same lines. It'd be interesting to root your device while navigating around any voided warranties on the basis of your carrier's, or Google's, neglect (I am definitely not a lawyer.)

AND... could one possibly use this exploit to push their own patch? Could someone who has a payload with a fix mass-message all android users? That payload could also try and send itself to others within the then-patched device's contact list.
Continuous Integration is especially useful for code quality. As a massive coincidence my company released our first SaaS product today.

Agreed that there is less of a death by nuclear war.

We don't doubt what you saw, or that it was bad/immoral.

But let's be clear, you've essentially used this fallacy (not to mention the appeal to emotion) to support/base your point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

I.e. "True slavery means that police/authorities won't intervene". It shows that you don't have a well-defined definition of slavery, or are using one that is too-constrained to the generally-accepted definition of slave/slavery. Here are a few:

[...]a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.

[...]a person who works very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation.

[...]a person who is excessively dependent upon or controlled by something.
I think it's an implicit assumption that a big complicated rule will be very picky in what it accepts, meaning hits are rare and will reveal more information than misses. They think all the complications are on the input side, so they're trying to pick interesting inputs instead of interesting outputs.

Come to think of it, I might be making this mistake but for non-boolean functions. I try to always have tests that pass in interesting values, but maybe I should consciously also try to have tests that get back interesting values. For example, when testing a classifier I should make sure all the classifications are possible. Or, when testing some mathematical function implementation, I should have tests with inputs that cause the result to be exactly -1, 0, 1, and 2 (if applicable).
Dogs are omnivorous scavengers - they eat almost anything, including the 'disgusting' stuff you listed. It's disgusting to us, but not to dogs. I used to have a dog that would eagerly hunt out and consume cat shit when I took her for walks, for example.

Yes. Each individual paper covers a very narrow topic. For example, here's a recent paper - White matter fractional anisotropy over two time points in early onset schizophrenia and adolescent cannabis use disorder: A naturalistic diffusion tensor imaging study

This paper tells me nothing about headache relief, or nausea related to chemotherapy.
Well, I guess you have a point if you accept that the US stoops as low as some parts of Africa in the 90's - at least you can call the police...
The "default UA stylesheet" has always been a weird compromise: slightly different in every browser, yet generally all trying to render pages from 1994 mostly the same way they looked in 1994.

Personally, I think it would make way more sense if you could specify something like a "base style" meta-tag, with values like:

• "browser" (the default): do what we're doing now, where every browser styles things a bit differently, and a default Chrome <button> looks nothing like a default Safari <button>, and so forth.

• "legacy": make the page look exactly like it would when displayed in NCSA Mosaic in 1994. (This style could be inferred from the headers and auto-applied if the server sends a very old modification date or the page uses an older version of HTML.)

• "reset": a WHATWG-standardized set of CSS reset values

• "native": make tags resemble native OS controls—<p> should look like label-control text, <h1> should look like a native header style, <button> like an OS button (instead of a browser button), etc.

The interesting part of this is that this would allow the "browser" style to diverge further from the "legacy" and "native" styles than it already has, since any web designer could just ask the browser to drop all its customizations in a quick-and-convenient way.

> "if you can call the police or get the authorities to intervene... then it's not slavery"

there are parts of the US where it's very difficult to get the police to intervene. I work (indirectly) with a group that helps women and children escape from forced polygamy in groups like the FLDS, AUB, Kingston, and similar; in quite a few areas the local police are "true believers" who won't investigate members of their own group, and in fact who will work to bring escapees back to a situation that is fairly described as "slavery".

Lots of carnivores don't have the ability to manufacture all of the amino acids their body requires. They need to get them from other animals, often because their digestive system isn't able to break down plant matter. The same is true of many vitamins. Each animal is different.
I highly agree on the linter part - it's too underestimated - in our team we currently have linters in place for every language and add custom linting rules on regular basis.

Basically whenever we notice codestyle discussion in PRs repeating a custom linter will come to establish convention (/rule).

Inlining a function opaquely is a very weird thing for an optimizer to do without special annotation as it looses a substantial proportion of the benefit of inlining.

And it would certainly be a weird thing to do for a hypothetical optimizer as aggressive as what was the starting point for this thread - namely one willing to e.g. partially evaluate even loop contents during compilation.

In any case this again goes back to my original point: The importance for a language of defining the semantics of when updates hits memory.

So we're back to the starting point.

What stood out in your comment was the very last sentence. To be more specific, the part about "there really is no market left". Enterprises are always looking to solve the same two problems (cost and revenue) and there are always new ways to tackle those two issues. (Which, btw, also points me to a morale/enthusiasm issue at play with the owners. They think everything in the enterprise has been done.)

Thanks again for your input.

Grand juries are well known for indicting whomever the prosecutor asks them too; I took the quote from the prosecutor about how the grand jury voted to indict as an admission of weakness in his case, because that was literally the least persuasive thing he could have said. "We know the bank did bad things, because I told some people the bank did bad things, and they agreed that I had told them that the bank had done bad things!"

> Abacus sold hundreds of millions of dollars of fraudulent mortgages to Fannie, reaping many millions of dollars in commissions and fees.

Yeah, but from the article: "And what of the prosecutors’ claim that Abacus was driven by greed to conduct the fraud? Figures provided to jurors show the bank has made a modest $123,000 in servicing fees on the loans."

And while you do a good job quoting the prosecutors theory about the bank, it's worth repeating that the jury disagreed pretty thoroughly. At a minimum we can say the prosecution completely failed to prove their theory. And I'd go further: I'd say that the details which have come out bring into question the entire prosecution.
This doesn't mean that it necessarily has to come from animals though. Unlike many animals, humans don't manufacture their own vitamin C. We can get vitamin C by eating other animals, but we can also get it from sources rich in vitamin C like oranges, bananas or lemons[1]. If a human isn't able to digest citrus, it's also possible to obtain vitamin C supplements.

[1] I'll note that limes are lacking enough in vitamin C that when the Royal Navy switched from lemons to limes (they were cheaper) sailors started getting scurvy again, and the 'cure' for scurvy was lost until the actual reason that lemons cure scurvy (vitamin C) was discovered.
> Costumers can also shift to lower cost alternatives. Online retailers have less overhead and lower labor costs. If you make Walmart more expensive than Amazon, Walmart will shutter stores laying massive numbers of people off.

Yes, that's a good reason why we shouldn't subsidize capital intensive businesses over labor intensive business by taxing capital income less than "normal" income and then adopting additional taxes on labor income on top of normal income taxes, but should instead treat all income alike for tax purposes without regard to source (and also, therefore, for benefit-eligibility purposes for past-income-qualified benefits for which dedicated taxes on income are taken to fund benefits.)

> But this is way outsides of a normal rise in minimum wage.

Not really. The article claims that $12 in 2020 would bring it above its 1968 peak level in inflation adjusted terms (the 1968 peak level, $1.60, is about $10.97 now, so $12 now would be a little bit ahead of it, with 2% annual inflation from now to 2020, $12 would be almost exactly the 1968 peak level.) So, a $15/hr. federal minimum wage in 2020 would be a higher-than-historical minimum wage, but not by a large margin.

And a little-over-doubling from 2009 to 2020 wouldn't be an unprecedented jump over an 11 year period, either (from 1945 to 1956 it got a 2.5 multiple from $0.40 to $1.00 -- and over 12 years, from 1938 to 1950 -- it tripled from $0.25 to $0.75.)

I think this point of view is unrealistic and harmful. Look at what happens when you get a speeding ticket. In theory, you have a "right to a trial". But, of course, we can't afford to have everyone who gets a speeding ticket contesting it at trial. That would be prohibitively expensive. So instead, the courts impose hidden costs, making it a pain in the ass to go to trial over a speeding ticket. At best, you win a pyrrhic victory.

I would greatly prefer an honest accounting of my actual rights and the costs associated to using them. I think we would have much better justice system if less lip service was paid to "rights" and more attention was paid to costs and outcomes.
There was a Media Lab project that did something similar 2 years ago -- and is open source https://github.com/JeremyRubin/Graffiti-codes
Indeed, what is the difference? It's just phrasing. So if you can see why it's bad to be punished for exercising your rights, surely you can see why it's bad to be rewarded not to.
How is Ethash compute intensive relative to Cuckoo Cycle?

EDIT: Ethash does 1 SHA3 at the beginning, 1 SHA3 at the end, and 64 rounds of FNV1-32 x 32.

Verification considers the intermediate digest, so really 1 SHA3 to verify.

You do more SHA3 rounds if you don't store the dataset, but this is a memory trap-door (and would require ignoring the mixDigest); the verification cost is still negligible.

In our mining pools, verification of hash values doesn't even account for 1% of of our overall CPU consumption (and this is with Scrypt).

SHA3 is also far more lightweight than SHA2, and much more parallelizable.

EDIT #2: If we want to talk about weaknesses in Ethash, I'm not sure it is FPGA resistant, given many FPGAs have DDR iterfaces on die and the access pattern of Ethash is read-only.
Leaving aside the comments that others have made (i.e. carnivores love offal) there's also a wide range of alternatives to canned pet food that do not require forcing an unnatural diet upon the animal. I used to feed my cat kangaroo meat, for instance, which is mostly sourced from wild animals.
I arrived at similar data from another perspective: it's really hard to generate a truly minimal Debian (or Ubuntu) Docker base-image. Everything in the "Essential" package set needs everything else in "Essential" in weird cyclic ways, even though a lot of those dependencies are effectively "maintenance-time" or "configuration-time" rather than runtime dependencies.

Even then, from the perspective of building a Docker image in particular, a lot of "Essential" is truly inessential: a Docker app doesn't run any OS daemons, interact directly with the hardware, or perform startup functions. You don't need an hwdb or a charmap database, you don't need grub or mkinitramfs, etc.

Most interestingly, for a Docker production image that you're constructing with debootstrap, you don't need apt itself... but just try convincing debootstrap to not install apt.

Not the guy you asked, but...

If I had to guess, it probably had a lot to do with them being relatively weak, small, mostly serving an immigrant community, and having no connection to the local power structure. Going after JP Morgan would be, well...awkward. Going after Abacus was easy.

It's not because Jamie Dimon is white and Thomas Sung is not; that was just a more-or-less inevitable consequence. (In employment law, this is called a "disparate impact".)
Never mind making it up the hill -- the backside descent of Conzelman Road is really what your average person should skip. You'll miss out on some of the old structures by skipping that, but there's still things to see if you go down Alexander, take the tunnel to Bunker Rd, and follow that out.

Looks like 17.3 from the package name. Today it might not be "way" behind, but it will be in a year or two. Or three.

I can see the point of having a "stable" kernel, but these freezes are mostly random. Back in its days, Squeeze shipped with R14A (not B). That's not stable, it's just a random cutoff. It means that whoever did the package did not even know what A and B used to mean in Erlang releases.

That's not something you can put in production.
I HATE those guys. (Forced polygamy groups.)

So keep up the good work.

Only point I wanted to make is that you still have the option of calling in the Feds. There are no Feds in certain places. Or the "Feds" are weak or corrupt. Maybe even both if you are unlucky enough. I'm talking about being in a situation where there is no way out not only for the abused... but even for those who might want to help. There is LITERALLY... no legal recourse. In your work... you have legal avenues outside of the local police. That's my point.
