Employees should have access to customers' data on a need to know basis. Most employees do not need access so should not have access.

Then, there should be an audit trail of all accesses and this should be known to employees. First that dissuades employees from acting improperly, second that allows the company to verify that they indeed do not act improperly and to track down culprits if something happens.
Google photos is the best photos product out there for simple sharing with family (and partner share), so of course they're going to destroy it with mismanagement. Time to start looking for alternatives.
Way back when, I wasn't convinced about our (UK) vaccination stance; from the start of the rollout it has been first doses - with the gap for the second set at 12 weeks.

The British Medical Association said it was wrong, and there was international condemnation. Now the WHO have endorsed an 8 to 12 week gap. They've also recommended the AZ jab for all age groups over 18, despite French and German comments otherwise (I'm not anti either, I'm a remainer and respect both, but their politician's uninformed comments denigrating the AZ jab were downright dangerous, and the EU is now sitting on unused doses of it).

I don't know whether we've rather unexpectedly got something right in this sorry mess, or just had a very lucky break.

Edit: I'm in the first-doses camp, but not first-doses-first, as the UK is doing two doses in parallel but with an extended gap so a larger volume of first doses go out 'quickly' but people aren't just left with the one. Feels like a good compromise to me.

I also have to say, despite the fact that it is absolutely nothing to do with me, it does feel quite good that the Oxford jab is by far the cheapest and also being manufactured by third parties across the world at pretty much cost. They done well.
That's still 2 orders of magnitude off: to reach something akin to Visa/Mastercard (tens of thousand tx/s) with a single-chain and a 10-min block target spacing, you'd need a block-size of tens of GB! Good luck finding people willing to run a full-node for zero compensation in such case.

There are alternative designs being studied right now[1][2], but BCH is not a real contender here.

I find this fascinating -- your reply and the parent to your reply (@Confusion) actually gave a lot of clarity to what I think on the matter.

I'm 5 years out of college and I think my position has changed significantly since then. Until probably a year out of college I only thought very abstractly about questions like this and believed there was a large class of problems for which there is no price.

Until a year or so after I graduated, I think I believed that most people (hookers excluded) wouldn't offer sex at any cash price. I always thought those transactions generally HAD to occur masked as "I'll buy you some beers/some dinners/we'll date/any time or cash value exchange in return for sex"

My more recent experience with regards to your experiment is almost the exact opposite of your findings. I'm consistently shocked by how LOW a price people are willing accept for all manner of tasks, including sex.

Not to sound way too shady, but I've since found that the cash price point for sex for most women is not only "no price", but in fact far lower than I would have imagined. Or maybe I've just met way sluttier girls since graduating. The price for most men is basically zero.

I'll also say there's likely some sort of phase transition here where the answer to "what kind of girl she is" is dependent on some socioeconomic indicator. Hypothesis: Money and status buy people a LOT of self importance and stricter adherence to a moral code. People don't have to bend their espoused morals unless faced with tough questions.

Re your experiment:
- saying and doing are different, especially since the question seems to have been explicitly phrased as an exchange of sex for money. there are all sorts of ways to phrase the question where sex is understood but without actually saying it.
- £1MM is doesn't even feel like a real number to most students. hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.

Like @Confusion, I now generally believe there's a price for everything. If it can be measured in dollars, thats an easy question to answer. The hard questions are those that are measured in things money can't buy.
That I would agree with. The article states Success in an area is not transferable. You need concrete domain knowledge.
That just seemed a bit too restrictive. Transferable skills can be very non-specific. A drug dealer might now more about word-of-mouth marketing than a CS whiz kid who writes very smooth iPhone apps.
Actually drug dealers and developers are the only two groups that call their clients -> users... so maybe they should.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're not.

Your list is good, but I'd add that he should pick one suitable language/framework and actually build something with it, so he has a better gut understanding of what it's like to build software. This will earn him essential respect from his team and allow him to sniff out a lot of the bullshit that would otherwise pass him by (eg "adding a button is really hard").
I pointed to that image only in relation to the EXIF metadata, since the original article suggested that this problem was the "straw that broke the camel's back" - i.e even if you were prepared to live with the 2-application workflow, even that was not possible. This appears to be false.
It is one of my favorite papers, and a gateway to a wealth of information available for hack/self-study.

It does have the insidious aspect though that if you get something halfway working and you like it, you will spend thousands of hours making it perfect. It seems an OK bargain, though...
This article reads way too much into the Jobs quote from D8. He could have been using the word "stolen" according to the oft-mentioned California law about the responsibilities of the finder of lost property.
> no one is getting terribly rich off textbooks

That dollar in the PDF is sliced so many different ways and spread apart that you don't really notice that the publisher takes 64.6% of it. Of an estimated 6 billion dollar market. I'd say _someone_is getting rich off textbooks, but it ain't the author.

There are at least 5 blaming statements in your comment. You'd do well to stop speaking for others and simply speak your mind. It's pretty hard to tell exactly how you feel about it, other than angry. I get that you are angry about it and my post. Fine.

Out of curiosity, do you trust the technology and do you trust the stored values in the blockchain? Talking the ledger here, not the value of Bitcoin on a given day. I'd like to say I know the answer to those questions, but frankly your vitriol is getting in the way.

Regardless of your response, I thank you heartily for proving my point Bitcoin is polarizing. It is.

An intro on how to be successful at destroying people, using bullying, misinformation, lies, mob-justice, and malice.
I think it is untenable to basically tell great swathes of the population that they are unnecessary to the economy but here’s some cash for you. I don’t think it is good for the psyche to be put in such a position. I’m sure proponents of UBI have claims that it will provide a safety net allowing people to start businesses or do what they want with their lives but I think assuming it will work for everyone is wishful thinking. I worry it would lead to a situation where the wealthy educated people living in major cities are ok and employed as before while many others are left with nothing but handouts. It’d surely be hard to build a democracy on such a divide—just look at America already.

I don’t know about the 2020 unemployment benefits as I don’t live in the US.
Diversity is a good thing.
Hotel wifi is often flakey and slow, so blocking a potentially better connection is all the more insidious of them.
I would love to see them try to turn down people who have devices capable of being a WiFi hotspot. That would be, at least, all AT&T customers not on the unlimited plan? Hotels, don't be silly. You would never do that.
That can be quite an inspiration for people who spend most of free time on Facebook (Including me who didn't finish 10 books Goodreads challenge last year :D)
This was actually a big deal a few years ago ( http://www.coyoteblog.com/coyote_blog/2005/12/your_cable_bil... ). The FCC thought it could create this requirement under its existing authority to regulate the airwaves, but the Supreme Court ruled that it would require a new law.

The economics of cable (and satellite) aren't obvious: it really doesn't cost any more to offer 150 channels instead of 100. The signal for every channel the cable company offers makes it to your house, and the cable company's equipment filters out the channels that you haven't paid for.

There's no reason to think it will cost less to get those channels filtered out one at a time instead of as bundles.
>WPS protects the WPA key with a 7-digit PIN - cracking that PIN is enough to authenticate with the router and have it provide the encryption key.

Not only that, but routers verify the first and second halves of the PIN separately. So instead of brute forcing in a keyspace of 10000000, you only need to find one number up to 10000, and a second number up to 1000. (The second half of the PIN is actually a 4-digit number as well, but the last digit is just a checksum digit.)

If it weren't for that issue, attacks would take months/years instead of minutes/hours.

I'm always kind of shocked that people are so meek and enamored with the idea of stability that they just shoot themselves in the foot. The tech industry is the wild west and most people in it aren't very good because they either lack drive, talent or the backbone to rise above those who lack drive and talent.

A better outlook is to make IBM (or any other company) work for _you_.

Work there for a couple years. Be bold. Challenge inept management and others that are only looking for stability and a paycheck regardless of outcomes. When you get tired of being stonewalled, bail to a smaller business and poach the people you identified as top talent.

Nobody's looking out for you but you. It's silly to expect an impersonal thing like a corporation to always try and take care of you. Making the company work for you doesn't have any factor in leading an ethical and fulfilling career. You can still deliver real value for a while despite a bloated middle management culture that is scared of the idea of bottom up leadership.
Is there any advantage (to the end-user) of using a 'Clojure map' for the front matter of a post, rather than using YAML like site generators from other languages do, e.g. Jekyll, Wintersmith (Node), Mynt (Python).

I kinda like that my markdown files are cross-compatible with any of these various site generators and would say that YAML front matter is something of a de-facto standard?

If avoiding YAML is an opinionated stance aimed at fellow Lispers, then I think that's fair, but I think the messaging should perhaps be more along the lines of 'this is a site generator for Clojure people', not 'this is the easy site generator'.

I don't think that's a bad thing, as a lot of people prefer to use a site generator written in their language of choice.

Of course this could be made a moot point by offering a YAML plugin and a single line in the docs saying '... or you can use YAML syntax if you'd prefer'.

Also w.r.t using Clojure maps, the metadata section of the writing posts [1] docs page could use a full example, otherwise I need to google Clojure map syntax.

It's not that I find these arguments false or anything like that but I always notice a seeming lack of awareness that the extra food produced by these chickens or gmo corn or whatever actually saves lives.

Also that depends on numerous circumstances while author of the historical mistakes book doing his job.

Was the reason of the collaps coming from military conflict? If yes, was that author a winning side of conflict or loosing one or he was enough lucky to stay neytral? Some things will be overexposed or overhidden in any branch.

Was that from global heating? Maybe from deadly virus? From AI? What has been braken, maybe something not important?

Maybe the reader is dealing with collaps of fossil energy industry (no cars, no warm houses and no bitcoin mining, but more important things like science is still there?). Maybe some kind of AI starts being our new government while the half-beaten previous one claims that we need to conquer the AI while in reality it is better government then previous?

Has the author finished his book or died on half-word? How much has the world recovered from the disaster on the moment the book went into right hands - is reader sitting in a bunker or is he is still able to grow foods on his land or is he drifting across a submerged planet like Kevin Costner's character?

Last but not least - if you are destined to be the author of such a fateful book, how can you be sure to describe things both correctly and understandable for your reader?
At this point you are just trying to force fit your ideals to the real world. Please stop, you clearly don’t understand. the original post i made is clear, make your army hard. or lose your country. maybe you’re russian…
For the comparison to os x docker, the biggest slowdown for os x docker is the file system mapping. It basically breaks any reasonable performance chart: look up posts getting into alternatives like mutagen. The slowdown makes using an IO-heavy dev flow like live editing via `npm run watch` relatively unusable: 30X+ slowdowns are normal. There might be high CPU overheads too (I recall we had to tweak seccomp), but when basic IO is so slow, the rest doesn't matter.

In contrast, yes, wsl2 has 5% CPU hits (hyperv, ...),but a sane FS mapping, so the total overhead is imperceptible for a windows dev box.

I was pleasantly surprised to see wsl2 Just Work. Our only issue preventing wsl2 from being the official team rec over native Linux has been wsl2's lack of opencl, and that's just specific to our use of GPUs. As someone whose preferred dev box has been osx for ~20 years, even when at MS, I was biased against Windows for most dev... but no longer.

>The other thing I don't entirely get -- and I am not entirely sure I want to know -- is why penguins. The article highlights that they're a bad "oil" animal.

Because they're so easy to catch. Also,the advantage (from a purely economic, not moral or ecological, point of view) of using wild marine animals for this is that you don't have to grow fodder for them or even set aside land for grazing.

Penguin eggs are still eaten in the Falkland Islands, though AFAIK commercial harvesting is illegal. Apparently the white remains translucent even when hard-boiled.

RMS is a terrible spokesperson for free software. I wish the FSF could just fire him and move on.

How do I know he's a terrible spokesperson? Because we're talking about him and not about free software. It's that simple.

I want the FSF to focus on free software and I want the discourse around the FSF to be about free software. Not RMS.
It's less common, because most people have to drive home from work in the US.
You know what I think is the craziest thing about this whole saga: Stallman’s email just accepts, as fact, that Minsky had sex with an underage girl. With one accusation and a dead defendant, why would anyone make this assumption without further corroboration? Did Stallman know it was true or was he just assuming it was?
Mark Fisher's "Capitalist Realism" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_Realism) should be mentioned in this context, with his references to the "big Other", for instance Stalin's White Sea Canal project:

> [...] the workers and the engineers were never allowed the time, money or equipment necessary to build a canal that would be deep enough and safe enough to carry twentieth-century cargoes; consequently, the canal has never played any significant role in Soviet commerce or industry.
All the canal could support, apparently, were tourist steamers, which in the 1930s were abundantly stocked with
Soviet and foreign writers who obligingly proclaimed the
glories of the work. The canal was a triumph of publicity; but if half the care that went into the public relations campaign had been devoted to the work itself, there would have been far fewer victims and far more real developments - and the project would have been a genuine tragedy, rather than a brutal farce in which real people were killed by pseudo-events.

- We are a small team right now, but we can assure you will get better service than many of the large companies

- Yes integration with shopify, magento, woocommerce, opencart, cscart, nopcommerce, whmcs etc. is already available.

- We are PCI Certified but we do not store card numbers and we do not provide wallet service at this time.

- Yes, all CC/DC are supported

- You will need the bank account in the name of your business. What we mean is you don't need a separate merchant account for accepting payments which some bank gateways ask you for.

Yes, that's what our aim is, to protect the customers from the red tape and complex regulatory issues while providing a clean integration experience.
The /etc/hosts hack actually works. I don't use noprocrast since I need to visit news.yc for other good reasons during my work.

But the trick that really made the difference is this. I run a cron job which will over write the /etc/hosts with a file which has yc/reddit blocked. This way, when ever I open access for good reasons or even to have my 30 minutes per day of YC reading, the file gets overwritten in the next 30 min window and I get fed up with editing it again and again. So I give up and go back to work, sort of like nagging myself very effectively.
yes every day!

I don't think he was buried due to his joke about rape. Or at least I hope not. He wasn't pulling rape out of thin air, as it's obviously the context of thread.

I imagine he was down modded for his weak use of sarcasm and abrasive way of making a weak point.

Gizmomagico seemed to be saying 'assange wouldn't have committed what he allegedly did; as it would retard his ability to move freely and he is too smart for that' -- which may or may not be true, and is irrelevant as evidence.

As a side note; getting offended about the content of a joke is really sort of silly. People seem to act like joking about something is somehow akin to 'doing' the thing. I don't think an argument can be made that a joke about rape makes rape any more likely; and while it may be crude and unfunny: making the claim that something is 'off limits' is really weak.

For example: 'statistically 9/10 people enjoy gang rape'
The sample chapters look great, and given the creator I'm sure the book is amazing. Unfortunately, I don't have $60 to spend right now on it. I'm saving the link though for when I do.

Yo dawg, I heard you like serialization formats, so we put a serialization format inside your serialization format.
At the beginning I tried implementing various object systems. The first one was indeed multiple inheritance with multimethods, based on C3 linearization
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_linearization) and didn't use the prototype chain, but wasn't finished. The second one was similar to Clojure's protocols (define-protocol, extend-protocol, ...), but wasn't very handy.

The current one is single-inheritance, because it uses the prototype chain. It's a compromise between speed and usefulness. I'd prefer having multimethods (and maybe also multiple inheritance), but speed is a bit more important, as JavaScript is already quite slow.

So far I'm quite pleased with the single-inheritance and single dispatch solution, which basically works like that: https://gist.github.com/866506
Same here, this afternoon. All three emails. Tried accessing the synchrony website. I can access some parts of the website but accounts refuse to load. Called customer service, it just rings and rings. I'm sure my credit is not compromised due to my credit been frozen to avoid such things. No way they have that information for those curious if this spam got any further.
I dove into the comments to ask the same question. I just did something similar to this with a few lines in my docker-compose.yml, which eventually turned into a few lines in a Helm chart. Why would I pay someone money for something as trivial as this?

Now, I won’t write another rant on the subject of Eternal September, and how our field is increasingly populated by charlatans who can’t do simple things on their own. But yes: that’s exactly how I feel.
