If one believes that autonomous cars with no limitations on environment will never exist, then no progress will get us any closer to infinity.

It goes back a bit further than Hobbes :)

"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" - Jeremiah

"Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." - Moses, about man before the flood.

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil." - the Gospel of John

Set http_proxy environment variable to a socks proxy that goes through the vpn. Some vpn clients offer a socksproxy built in. That way if the vpn is not connected the proxy address is dead.

Its a Drupal 7 site so every content item has a publication date in the db since it is part of the root data schema for posts/pages and all sub-types. In their case they have at least two content types in their news page. All of the "News" type articles do display the date but the template for "Research" articles does not display it. It is possible this was deliberate but most likely it just was in the default news template and when they created a custom template for the research articles they based it on the default page template which doesn't include a date line.

I don't think the article means to suggest that you let your house go completely to the elements - only that you maintain a lower more economical temperature. How is mold going to grow more at 55F than it would at 70F? As long as you ventilate moisture and minimize condensation you can keep the mold under control.

I think in this case it would be more similar if all of the party members were part of the same minority denomination. While most U.S. polititions are Christian, they are members of mostly independent churches that are organized into separate denominations. That is one reason that we have generally been wary of Catholic politicians - because we don't want our government to be under the influence of the Pope.

Team orders were banned in 2002 but it was lifted in 2011.

It's a bug. They didn't intend for it to flag ad-blockers, it was supposed to inflate the prices for third party aggregators so that their direct website would look cheaper than booking on a third-party site.

If the science is bad, then the science is bad. If you do good science and find a result that doesn't fit your preconceived ideas of right and wrong, that doesn't make the science bad. You don't need to be concerned with the ethical impact of the truth, but you do need to be concerned with the ethics of your process.

I don't understand what the actions of pseudo-science bigots has to do with someone who is doing real science. Idiots will be idiots regardless of what real science says.

real-time - being concerned with predictable latency rather than overall throughput

symbolic processing - symbolic expressions (s-expressions) being the building blocks of lisp programs

single processor - not considering multitasking or multiprocessor concerns

Most of the ones I have used allowed you to navigate the UI using physical buttons on the steering wheel. Something similar to a up/down/select/back button group with some other specific buttons for frequent actions.

If you don't specify a destination for -R it will work in SOCKS mode.

If you read it, the issue was definitely not a failure to renew. It was a change in rules that required updating or verifying the contact info.

I don't use GoDaddy, but I have been forced to use it in the past because I had clients who used it. They suck in a lot of ways but in this case they definitely sent repeated messages about this before the one that the poster found from 2h before the cutoff. I got similar messages from various registrars often multiple per month for many months prior to the cutoff date. It is much easier to believe that this poster just didn't see them because they flagged one or more of the many spammy messages from Godaddy and got all their messages sent to the spam box. If they had logged into GoDaddy during the previous 6 months, they would have also been prompted by a popup, which would likely have been dismissed because it looks just like the hundreds of marketing prompts you are bombarded with every time you log into GoDaddy.

The audits also catch a lot of cases where people don't know how to file anything beyond their basic employer withholdings. If a poorer, less educated person gets a 1099 for a side job or does an early withdrawal from their IRA, they are likely to fail to report it properly, or pay the required taxes. This is not usually intentional, they just don't know better. Even if they know they have to pay taxes on the money, they don't realize that the IRS didn't already take their cut just like they do from a paycheck.

Wealthier people are much more likely to use a professional tax consultant or are better at knowing how to file. Audits are usually triggered by mistakes. Say the IRS gets a 1099 form that wasn't included in the return, which triggers an investigation. A wealthier person is much more likely to have filed the 1099 because they are more educated and/or can afford a tax professional. A poorer person is much more likely to just ignore the 1099 or not even know that it needs to be filed.

Agreed, syntactically. However, it is passive in that the strategies aren't actually the actors. The word _evolved_ has a general passive use while actually retaining the active voice syntactically. The actual passive voice version you gave is not normal usage. The author is the actor who has developed strategies, but he is dodging the responsibility by making the strategies be the subject of the sentence and leaving himself out.

I do generally get annoyed at poorly edited articles, but I didn't notice it - examples?

You are asking whether pedantic is derived from pedant? I assume so. It can both mean like a pedant (emphasizing minutiae) or it can mean just dull, as we often think of classroom activities being dull, which is similar to didactic, although pedantic is probably only used in the negative sense where as didactic still has more neutral/positive usage in addition to meaning dull. So I am not sure if Pedantic ever meant generally to be related to teaching by design or intent.

Seems the word being translated is Σχολαστικὸς.

At its root its a person who doesn't work. A scholar didn't work and could devote their time to acquiring knowledge. But a lazy person could also be a scholastikos.

So I think here it is getting the double treatment, referring to a person who has lots of book smarts but no common sense.

Pedant kind of makes sense as a person who thinks themselves smart, so perfect for being the butt of a joke about being stupid. Pedant, afterall, was once just a word for teacher in English, but has taken on a negative connotation.

Seems like a contradiction. If someone can step in when you are not there then you are not a single point of failure.

Logo's are generally protected by trademark rather than copyright. I don't think anything prevents you from using a generated logo with trademark. For example you could have a trademark on an orange square, even though you could never copyright it. In the same way a trademark could protect your product name even if it is a single English common noun, as long as it is distinctive in use within your trademark scope.

Is Ookla an official data source for the RDOF evaluation? How does Ookla know what the average speed is? It only knows the average speed of users that do a speed test and most people only do it when they are suspicious of a problem or testing a new setup that is likely not yet fully configured. Typically I use it when I am installing new hardware and I might get 10 bad results and then 1 good result. Once I get the good result I stop. 100 days go by that I don't need to check it at all until I have a slow connection and then I do a speed check and see that it is slow. Seems like it would be highly biased towards testing under the poorest conditions.

That was a part of Austin, and if you went to the right places you saw concentrations of that. I'm sure you still can. But it didn't represent Austin as a whole. The movie represented a particular experience. Does that experience still exist? Probably its different than it was then, but there are still lots of free-thinking bohemian misfits in Austin, even though most of us who were here in the 90s grew up and probably don't resemble that anymore. But if you come to austin and go to The Domain expecting it to be a crowd from the move Slackers and then complain that Austin isn't what it used to be then you are not getting it.

Austin was never "like that". It was a movie. Austin is a lot of things, but we still have bohemians and misfits, but they are outnumbered by tech entrepeneurs and crypto-bros. We still have conspiracy theorists but it turns out they are assholes.

The characters in that movie were marginalized so if you come here expecting them to be the mainstream you didn't get the movie.

Requiring it to be documented and approved is just responsible from a change-management perspective. At my company we have similar requirements and it is basically required to do that in order to meet security audit expecations. The problem is when they managers don't let you have a say in what gets done.

If a developer on our team things something should be done and can do it quickly, they are encouraged to create a ticket and do it. It gets code-reviewed and accepted. If it is not a quick change, they need to bring up the ticket at a planning meeting to make sure it is balanced against other priorities.

I agree the base crime here appears to be embezzlement. However the actions taken to conceal the embezzlement may be considered laundering. Most embezzlements do involve hiding the money movements, so I would only expect it to be laundering if he mixed the funds with legitimate funds in order to conceal their source. I don't see that in the article.

That is what Texas does. Not 100 percent, but a majority of tax dollars for schools are paid to the state and redistributed to the districts based on attendance/enrollment. Rich areas might be able to use extra funds/donations for capital expenditures like fancier buildings or stadiums, but the tax money at largely redistributed.

Reminds me of a tape storage robot:

It doesn't have to discover all the rules with no help. We don't need ai to invent ethics, only enforce the one we have arbitrarily chosen.
