These companies could sell a product in Russia that is different than the one they sell in the US. Audits by Russia don't mean much unless everyone gets the same binaries.

The cable operator should have been able to seek an injunction after they cut his cable the second time. Clearly Comcast didn't know what they were doing, and were just barreling forward. That behavior should not be rewarded.

If we want laws to fix this, penalizing large companies that damage others wires due to gross negligence sounds like a good start.

At some point does it cross into negligence and come with steep civil penalties? That would be the best way to stop this kind of thing at the moment.

This is what I was thinking. Any critique of this approach may want to keep in mind this isn't necessarily going to replace what software engineers are doing now, but rather expand what is done by others by lowering barriers.

Make tipping harder, ie don't build it in to the app. If its not built in, it won't be come an expectation. Nothing is stopping someone from handing over cash.

I think it was too much for the. to say "Data structures AND algorithms". It is mostly data structures that can be difficult.

That is likely true. My experience with it was in 2011/2012 ish. Their FAQ[1] claims memory leaks have been fixed over time. * http://lxml.de/FAQ.html

I have found the lxml API in python leaks a considerable amount of memory, but that was while going through a large amount of data though (Wikipedia dump). This is in contrast to a handful of pages. But that was a while ago, it may be diffe

I don't think you give the supreme court justices enough credit. I think most cases they see are "exemplar" cases, not average cases, as to improve the chances of a favorable ruling. The justices are aware of this fact.

The author of the piece argues differently. Mainly that bitcoin doesn't need to be used for everyday things, but for things that might be censored.

I don't find his scarcity counter argument compelling. All the things he offers as scarce aren't really scarce, as they could easily be recreated in a way such that the duplicates are indistinguishable from the original. Bitcoins

Why is that the nuclear option? I would expect more competition to be the go to solution.

I did say "what the current project demands". I did not say "I just push whatever I feel like". Again, I don't see the problem with not caring and just going with what others have picked.

> "whatever my editor sets it to". Whats wrong with this? I just accept the defaults. Whether that is what the current project demands or what the editor defaults to. Why waste my time over these things?

Looking at the prize awardees for criticism, the award is for art criticism. So it wouldn't apply to Fowler's writing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Criticism

Is the date on that accurate, did that happen in 2016? Kinda hurts the theory that they were trying to avoid Unix similarity.

Talking about what was said in the slack channel would distract readers from the main point he was trying to make in the post. If anything he should have said less, as it is clear some still want to discuss the slack channel more than his m

Hrm. I wonder how this would work if the ex-admin is working remotely from a country that wouldn't extradite for this.

True, but in cities with medallions supply was effectively restricted which probably had an influence on prices. That probably wont happen under a rideshare system.

SGX is the ultimate DRM. Once SGX programs talk directly to monitors that support some HDCP like protocol, it will be the end of ad/tracker blockers. Web pages will run in SGX land.

As for low-balling estimates, what if there were a contract penalty for going over by some %? Moreover, what if you took some of that penalty and gave it to whichever contractor had bid closest to the true cost, incentivizing contractors to

The Microsoft case doesn't need to be surprising, because Microsoft is a part of PRISM and maybe other such programs. To China that means Microsoft products might as well be sending data directly to NSA datacenters. They probably don&#

I said this elsewhere[1], but its not immediately obvious that you can identify printers via machine learning. Classification gets really difficult when you have millions or billions of classes. Accuracy tends to fall off a cliff. * https:
