Folks, we know it was us. There's no doubt now - not that there ever was doubt - no doubt now that we blew that pipeline. No one is disputing that. World leaders call me all the time at Mar-a-lago - great place by the way, beautiful links, fantastic seafood - they call me all the time, they say "President Trump, we have evidence, it was the US, America blew up Nordstream". They know it, you know it, we all know, without a doubt, that we're to blame. - Trump, probably
Of course there's ideology on all sides - almost everything we do is informed by one or more ideologies. The real question is which ideology is correct, or at least more correct? There's one side, which seems to rely on tenuous arguments based on poor interpretations of select evidence, or the other, which is based on a massive expert consensus centered on a mountain of evidence which all seems to lend itself to a single general conclusion. And then there's people like you, whose refusal to meaningfully engage is very convenient for continuing the status quo, a position that suits the first side just fine.
Bloat can also refer to the invisible infrastructure code that's compiled into a binary when using certain language features. C has a fairly linear relationship to the size of the compiled assembly, iirc, but C++ will vary wildly based on which features you use.
It's the DRM argument - publishers don't stop using Denuvo because someone always manages to crack it, they use it to stop little Timmy from copying Assassins Creed 27 on to a USB drive for his friend Dave. In the same way, Officer Porkchop can't openly conspire with Lieutenant Bacon to plant evidence, because the audio is on record. But doubtlessly, the Porcine Patrollers will manage when it really counts, maybe just not as often.
I've recently been driving a policy at my workplace that if you find a PC unlocked, you send out an email blast promising donuts (also copying in the victim). The victim then has a choice: admit to a security breach and have to sit through a training session, or follow through with donuts. This incentivises reporting, and disincentivises leaving your computer unlocked through social, economic and experiental means
Perhaps, but relying on best current knowledge that is backed by evidence is a pretty good policy. It may not always be correct, but it's a whole lot better than blind conjecture. Even if it's a guess made by the most educated guy in the room, that's still the most educated guess we have. Hindsight is 20/20, and we bias our view of past decisions with current knowledge.
Even if they didn't revoke his access, he'd be smart enough not to access their systems and leave audit logs, thus leaving a window open to be sued/prosecuted for exfiltrating trade secrets and proprietary IP (even if he didn't do so). That being said, knowing where the bodies are buried and having insider knowledge of IP are powerful motivators for retention
You're contriving a situation as a gotcha instead of acknowledging the spirit of the question. The legal test of piracy in media consumption, I presume, is intentional action to contravene copyright, not passive consumption of media.
uBlock is a static blocker, afaik. If a URI doesn't appear on a list currently loaded, it's not blocked. This can allow unknown and dynamic-URI trackers to follow you across many sites. Privacy Badger looks for resources that appear across several domains that behave like trackers. If it sees something that looks like a tracker more than a few times, it's blocked. I use uBlock to block the majority of ads and trackers, and I use Privacy Badger to defeat the remaining trackers and other tech aimed specifically at users with ad blockers.
My opinion: the US strives to make their warrior class one of some sort of privilege, or at least appearing to have privilege. They have had various amounts of success in doing so. Thank you for your service, here's your veteran discount. Have you decided which college you want to spend your GI Bill at yet? Don't worry about scam institutions, the FTC will protect you.
Like when you see a middle-aged smoker clutch-dragging a coffin nail and scarfing a McDonald's burger before his next presentation selling life insurance to government employees - sometimes you know a life time of bad decisions when you see it.
I don't think it answers the question - I bought a Windows laptop because it's more affordable, but I'd rather be driving a Mac, hardware-wise. Does the same concept not apply to you and your car, or others who have chosen a Mexican made car over a Swedish one?
It's a holdover from before reactive styling was really a thing - there was a stage, if you recall, where people were maintaining two versions of their websites, one being for mobile. It was awful, and mobile user agents were bombarded with banners asking to switch to the mobile version, which would invariably break the flow and bounce them back to a landing page. They then had to claw their way back to where they were in the website, if they could. On the upside, it was mobile first, and had more intuitive layouts for mobile devices. I suspect that Wikipedia still maintains this split so as to not break those old web clients, or any other client built on top of the mobile web interface. I bet that if I broke out my old Nokia E63, I'd still be able to boot up that Symbian browser and read a Wikipedia article.
There's a theory bouncing around that the medical coma he supposedly used resulted in some degree of brain damage, causing him to really go off the political deep end.
Delaware heavily depends on companies registering and paying tax there as a source of income, and have gone to great pains to remove all sources of friction in their administrative processes
Solitary confinement is a torture, and should never be used, even for the most reprehensible of people. You may mean that they be physically sequestered from other people if they're dangerous, which death row inmates often are, but no human deserves to be isolated from others for anything more than a short period.
Of course we don't - this comment is being relayed via ham radio from South Africa to the Antarctic, where thankfully the German research team has a satellite uplink.
Forgive me here, I'm not close to the topic - if the latter is true, why is that anti-semitic? It feel the premise may be anti-Israeli, but I think it would be mistaken to conflate being Isreali with being Jewish. I'm sure there's a significant overlap, but there are non-Jewish Isrealis, and non-Isreali Jews. I'm also under the impression that many oppose Israel not on religious grounds, but political and ideological grounds.
Please use thousands separators - I have no idea how absurdly big that price tag is because my eyes just slip right over those zeroes like a greasy fat kid down a slide
I'm assuming you work for Postman. I hope you know that because of this, as well as the account requirement, other REST tools are going to eat your lunch. I don't think this was a good move.
I think you may be right about how it would pan out, but ideally you'd either start with a stipend that covers the base rate for your insurance with any increase in premiums beyond coming out of pocket, or averaging premiums across union members to create a powerful economic incentive to keep members in line. I'm not a fan of the latter, because US cops seem tribalistic, and would likely see an increase in premiums as an us vs them issue rather than an internal issue. Pricing bad individuals out of the profession directly is better.
I do also sometimes think about using other law enforcement agencies that overlap in some (but not all) responsibilities to create some sort of incentive structure where if they catch each other breaking the law, it's much more beneficial to screw each other over than be complicit
The fact that automated vehicles operate with much broader safety margins with regard to driving conditions definitely contributes to them being safer overall - humans choosing to drive in worse conditions objectively makes them more dangerous drivers. I also suspect that what others are getting at - that under the same driving conditions safety margins as robocars, humans have a lower accident rate - isn't true, considering the bulk of motor vehicle accidents occur during normal commutes during daylight hours in nominal weather at low speeds. I suspect that even if you control for the elderly, the drunk, and inclement weather, humans will still have worse statistics. I think that humans have a tolerance for risk and ambiguity that makes for statistically worse, albeit more predictable, driving behaviour. But much like you, I don't have any better data to back this up.
