> Dictatorship, form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations.
No, this isn't what I was describing, and isn't the same thing as a one-party state. There were important limitations on central power that were respected throughout the entire period of PRI rule; notably the restriction that a president couldn't serve for more than one term, which since the Mexican Revolution has never been broken.
"Dictatorship" to "liberal democracy" is a spectrum, and Mexico for most of the 20th century was not at either of the endpoints.
> Critical to this essay is Joseph and Buchenau’s interpretation of the post-1940 period vis-à-vis the other works under review. Using a term coined by Mario Vargas Llosa in 1990, they describe a “perfect dictatorship” between 1940 and 1968: a one-party system with the appearance of democracy that sustained regular elections and avoided military coups and social upheavals. In the reorganization that became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in 1946, the party removed the army from formal political power. The state/party emphasized securing dominance with loyalty, order, and representation of PRI sectors in local elections. The latter required central government reliance on local strongmen and their minions, effective political and cultural brokers. [0]
> The public split encouraged voices from the right and left. Add to this political contention the increasingly visible contradictions: uneven benefits of economic growth, population explosion creating pressure on the land and migration to cities, growing unemployment and inflation. For Buchenau and Joseph, the students rebelling in Mexico City in 1968 represent a coming-together of these critical contradictions: they demanded the rule of law, freedom from repression, and social justice.

I’m definitely not an expert in Mexican history. But that to me sounds an awful lot like a typical dictatorship, and a bad one at that. Otherwise, people wouldn’t push back.
The cost-optimized mundane everyday machines that we expect to move are endowed with 150x that energy output -- and with the ability to sustain it rather than burst it. 1kW is large for a human but small for moving a big chunk of metal. Since the sort of resonant motion would be thoroughly damped if, say, you built a full scale ISS in your backyard, I tend to agree with them that it's notable.

A perfect example is a large water pump, a 250hp electric pump draws approximately 150kW (480v 3ph, around 300-310 amps).
Write that method in a category of NSObject and you’ll have it now. Objetive-C is a very extensible language with lots of syntactic sugar to help us out. Also, meta programming is lots of fun, but impossible without diving into the runtime guts which is part of the fun.
The only thing that stops me from doing it that there is a well established pattern of passing `&error` which tells me that the function can error and that I could handle it.
I’m sort of looking for what 2nd order and systemics effects `mpw` might expect.
To me, Swift is a bit more annoying with `if let`. Seems like it might provide a benefit, but it’s not so compelling to me. The compile times are so much slower so as to turn me off completely.
Imagine a society similar to the internet where people roam hiding their identities while doing whatever comes to their head. We have great times ahead, in Mars. I’m seriously starting to consider buying those tickets after all.
I’ve been there. The truth is that css media print doesn’t work with anything complex. After spending a week at it back in January, it felt very much like IE6 whac-a-mole. Long story short, I ended up fixing it in python using rst2pdf. Brilliant library.
> While we find that OF's design achieves its privacy goals, we discover two distinct design and implementation flaws that can lead to a location correlation attack and unauthorized access to the location history of the past seven days, which could deanonymize users. Apple has partially addressed the issues following our responsible disclosure. Finally, we make our research artifacts publicly available.
Not something a regular dude off the street will be doing any time soon. =)
It’ll keep being a piece of cake until you buy something from a scammer amazon merchant with no one to appeal.
One of the best things I like about my local small businesses is that I don’t need to worry about choices. I just show up with a problem and they will always solve it for me costing me way less than I had budgeted.
That’s why some of those have been operating for almost 100 years.
Though, it comes with a somewhat steep learning curve.
But, in the end you can throw away that pesky search foo hat, and have some deserved peace of mind.
