  • TSA Precheck involves a background check and interview performed by the government. This allows them to make the actual screening process lighter, because they've deemed you to be low risk.

    With Clear, you still have to go through the full security check. And it also costs significantly more.

    • Precheck: $14/y
    • Clear: 190$/y

    The cost of TSA Precheck is $70 for 5 years, so $14 per year (plus an additional $8 for the initial enrollment). If you travel internationally a lot you can upgrade to Global Entry for $100 for 5 years. Or if you travel to Canada frequently, you can get Nexus (a superset of Global Entry) at $50 for 5 years.

    It's hard to make the money privilege argument with Precheck at that price.

  • It's no different than if you fed your children say, mercury, and then claimed you believed it was helpful because of Facebook gurus or similarly unaccredited sources.

    I totally agree that children should be vaccinated.

    But I just want to point out that there is a difference between actively doing something to harm your kid, and passively not doing something to protect your kid.

    Lack of protection is not equivalent to active harm.

    Parents should still be required to vaccinate their kids.

  • I do wonder if jumping back by twice as much is optimal.

    It is. This is called exponential search, which maintains the O(log(n)) time complexity of binary search.

    (Where n is the position of the commit you are searching for.)

  • I was confused by what a FIT actually is. To clarify,

    From the article:

    A Flat Image Tree is the compiled Linux kernel paired with the associated DeviceTree content that is compressed and easily then distributed and executed by capable bootloaders.

    From the ARM OSS Wiki:

    During the Linux boot process, a "Device Tree Blob" (DTB) file is loaded into memory by U-Boot / UEFI, and a pointer to it is passed to the kernel. This DTB file describes the system's hardware layout to the Linux kernel, allowing for platform-specific code to be moved out of the kernel sources and replaced with generic code that can parse the DTB and configure the system as required.

  • Right. But there is no copyright infringement in an NES emulator, as long as no copyrighted games are distributed.

    Emulation itself is not copyright infringement.

    The recent issue with the Switch emulator was that they were distributing encryption keys along with the emulator. That wasn't a copyright issue (encryption keys are not expression, therefore not copyrightable) but a CFAA issue. See other comments.

    None of that applies to the NES.
