I wouldn't be surprised to if this was largely accounted for in supply side contamination issues. It appears that Amazon treats all SKUs identically, sourcing the closest one to fulfill and order, regardless of how that SKU arrived at Amazon.
A concrete example: No Starch Press customers are receiving counterfeit books when ordered from No Starch Press' Amazon store.
Even if this scam is caught, it's still cost Amazon money in dealing with the issue. (And cost legitimate vendors no end of frustration with legitimate customers receiving fake books.)
"Stand your ground" laws just mean there is no duty(law) to seek retreat above all else before actively defending yourself.
"Castle", in California, simply means that if an intruder has bypassed a control (picked a lock, broke a window, etc) to gain entry then one can proceed on the assumption that they are there to do grave bodily harm. (And thus act accordingly.)
Excepting that in SF the "everyone" does not want the land owners to make productive use of it: they want the status quo. (Well, the status quo of what the remember as being the "high point".)
Having witnessed protests that occurred midway through the reconstruction of offramps, (meaning an existing ramp was torn down, and they were half done rebuilding it), it's not so much NIMBY, but NBAA: Never Build Anything, Anywhere.
The only way that higher taxes would be beneficial is if SF landowners were actually allowed the freedom to upgrade their properties. Zoning, especially height restrictions (40' max over most of SF), as well as endless red tape, make it really hard to make productive use of prime land. Regardless if it's the original owner or new buyer.
( A new buyer is granted some slight advantage, but not enough to be meaningful.)
One also needs to take into account how these larger companies' internal groups function.
"Brian" probably looked into it, knowing that obscurity != security, but got a response back from the group responsible that was the way they intended it to work, and that group's management wasn't going to do anything about it. "Brian" may have even put messages in the right ear up the management chain such that it would actually effect the outcome.
The fact that the email exchange lasted 2 months before "Brian" said "Sorry, not a case." probably means that "Brian" was trying to make it happen and had actually done an analysis.

"""Micro was a way of creating a foundation for writing and running distributed systems. It's a pluggable architecture so that the underlying systems can be swapped out based on preference."""
At what point do we just admit that we've re-invented the large co-ordination frameworks of years past? Like CORBA?
Is it the point where we add a JSON schema validator? or switch to Protocol Buffers or some variant?
"""One of the terrorists pulled out a laptop, propping it open against the wall, said the 40-year-old woman. When the laptop powered on, she saw a line of gibberish across the screen: “It was bizarre — he was looking at a bunch of lines, like lines of code. There was no image, no Internet,” she said. Her description matches the look of certain encryption software, which ISIS claims to have used during the Paris attacks. """
Possible explanations:
1. POST
2. Linux
3. Elm/Pine/Mutt
There are enough hints in her description that the woman they talked to would be 100% content with an OS that booted directly to the browser, and furthermore, she wouldn't know the difference.
The issue is that it needs to be explained in terms that they can understand: ... or part of your line will fail, randomly, and may take over a day to repair, IF your maintenance procedures are current, if not, you'll lose 4-5 days of line time.
Note: not one mention of "security", or good neighbor, or infection, only cutting to the point.
I was really hoping they would tackle the harder problem of dealing with a production hive. Temperature and weight are fairly easy to monitor, but knowing activity would be useful in tracking hive health.
> In my opinion, companies like Google build one hit after another
Wait, what?
Do you have any idea how many ideas they've churned through to get the relatively few hits they've had?
Wave didn't do all that well.
Orkut had a decent run before they dissolved it (almost 11 years)
G+ is still in question.
Yes, they've had some success with some products. And made some excellent purchase decisions (you didn't think they wrote everything they released, did you? Urchin? Writely?).
They've also killed software instead of fully developing it: notebook, reader.
And that is to say nothing of the large numbers of 20% projects. I've personally heard engineers (as a whole) at Google being chastised because the success rate of 20% projects was too high.

Yes, shocking. (Also, El Camino is a State Route, I'll let you look that one up.)
