I don't think anyone is dumb enough to actually prevent the electorate logging into facebook.

I expect the language to be broad and the enforcement narrow.

Because the relationship between money and utility is not constant across the human population.

If we consider a meal at a moderately fancy resteraunt then there are people without much money who would be aghast at spending that much on a meal. Conversely there are rich people who wouldn't even look at the menu-prices or the bill.

Every time I have gotten an Uber in London the car has been a Toyota Prius, I don't know if that particular car is still congestion charge exempt but even if it isn't what's to stop minicabs all starting to drive vehicles which are exempt?

Because the things he changed were fundamental to Martini core. Changing it would require a re write of any code which touched Martini's API. Because people use that project it's better to start a new one with a different philosophy.

Is this part of the premise of the book or personal opinion?

Whatsapp competitor, they seem to be doing quite well, although given how obnoxious their android app is I don't know how long that will last.

That's a shame, I happen to like the use of sigils to denote pointer types, to my eyes it makes code a lot easier to read.

Out of curiosity why are they making the change? And will they add the `let x = box Thing` syntax or as an optional addition to the language or will it fully replace the old `let = ~Thing` syntax?

For what it's worth my macbookpro runs Dota2 without complaint.

I don't understand the relevance of the title to the service, but it seems like an interesting way of using the bitcoin blockchain to strongly time-stamp messages.

Also the fact that it costs you money to send a message and the more you spend the more "important" the message is happens to be interesting.

My understanding is that usually you want both because AABB is good for broad-phase because it's so quick then true polygon collision can be done in a narrow phase.

Only it couldn't because that's not even close to what the article was saying.

It was pointing out that looking the part gives opportunities which might otherwise be closed. Therefore spending your meagre savings buying fancy clothes can be seen as an investment.

I'm not addressing the validity of the article's point vs yours, but the summary was not correct.

I think the point is that USB vectors allow the malware to jump the airgap but not reliably, maybe it puts some data on a USB stick and jumps it back but for the most part once it is behind the airgap it will only do what it's programmed to do.

Being able to communicate via ultrasound means that if you have an infection on two computers either side of an airgap in close proximity the theoretically isolated computer can be sent instructions from a C&C server and can send data back at-will.

I'm not commenting on the legitimacy of the story, but either technique in isolation is of limited use, combined however they can be a lot more effective.

In terms of morality you may be correct, but if the child in the article could skip some rote memorisation or other busy work for an extra hour or two of sleep I would bet on her learning "more" at school.
