>not being able to refuse is not consent. If you're unfamiliar with this concept from other areas of human life, you can read up interpretations of GDPR consent regarding cookie banners.

Disagree, and I don't agree with GDPR.

>In France there's at least a semblance of equal chances: if you get a certain number of mayors to support your candidacy, your campaign is paid for by the State and all candidates have free campaign clips produced by national television (following their directives) and broadcast on most channels ; also this will cover printing fees for your ballots. Also, donations to political campaigns are only allowed from individuals (not companies) and have a limit (a few thousand euros). Also, there's strict regulations (though never respected) on airtime equality between candidates/parties for the whole duration of the campaign.

I don't called this rigged, this is just how to game to be played.

>Trams, buses, trains, shared bikes, shared cars

None of these take me where I want, when I want and from I want.

Bus: I have to go to the bus stop, at the specific time and it arrive at another bus stop.

>They may be slightly less convenient in some situations compared to an individual car.

slightly less convenient for you but its highly inconvenient for many other people, including me.
I guess confidence is not your main issue ;-)
Why does Bitcoin need to modernize? There are other crypto projects that can fill in the holes that Bitcoin leaves (tx fees, slow, etc). Bitcoin is a fully secure, fully self-sufficient, global monetary system. It doesn't need to be lightning fast or super cheap. It needs to WORK, and work very well, which it has demonstrated.
Wow, I never thought about it like that, becoming public infrastructure. If that were to happen, what would keep the Department of Transportation in each state from adopting beacons and installing them on mile-markers, etc?
There's probably not much of a pay differential between Google and a big bank for people of his background.
Perhaps a more accurate metaphore would be "Internet Passport". Government's can't take it away and it has no real entitlements. However Jeff Atwood is from the USA which has a strangley low number of passport holders. Perhaps they are used to using a driving licence instead of passport as general ID.
I've been thinking about a good answer, but these days it's a fine line to talk about these things. I'm happy the rust community is so open while being widely successful. Might shine some light into the rest of the world. I'm from Sweden,where this kind of hostility probably exists, but I never see it (gay people are very well accepted, trans I'm not as certain, only have a pool of 1 friend so not enough data).
What the book is really teaches you is to not see an "orange" at all. The process is pre-verbal. By the time you see "an orange", the information you need to produce an effective drawing of it has already been condensed down into a verbal token and your attempts to draw it fail because you're drawing the visual archetype stored in your brain instead of the specific spatial pattern of hue and value that is in front of you. The exercises in the book are intended to help you gain access to your visual processing pipeline at a lower level before object recognition has been applied.

I was concerned that the geometry calculation requires your pupil to be at a precisely known location, but in practice, if it was off, you'd just adjust the sunglasses (and maybe the temples can be made so that you feel their position). You'd calibrate them when you first use them. Of course, the black-spot can be made a little overlarge, for margin of error.

Larry Niven (surely not the only one) mentioned this idea in Grendel (in the Neutron Star collection), a 1968 shortstory, which included [MINOR SPOILER] an update on the old fighter-pilot tactic of attacking out of the sun - which with these sunglasses, is hidden by the black-spot.
I have a hard time with articles like this that generalize over such a broad and variable base. Some big companies are great, some are terrible, and most are in between. And once you're in that big company, a lot depends on who you work for and what your group does, so you'll find that some areas are great to work in, some are terrible and most are in between.

And what makes this even more infuriatingly variable for the generalizer is that it is unlikely you and I would even agree on which of these companies, or departments within companies, are the great or terrible ones. So much depends on who you are, what you want and what you need.
That's no good. I usually just want to be tagged in the photos I look good in, and out of a series of 50 wedding shots, those could be 2 or 3. So now I'll have to go untag myself in 47 auto-tagged photos.
Collaborators, then.
I think you are giving examples of fads not long term changes. It's the "grass is greener" syndrome. People living out in the suburbs look at their long commute, the cookie-cutter culture, and think that urban life is more exciting and sensible. After a while, they look at the crowds, the filth, the noise, their tin-can car or lack of one at all, and think that suburban space and quiet and freedom looks pretty good all of a sudden. So it's an ebb and flow.
Not all big companies are evil empires designed to crush you (e.g. Google)

Google is "designed to crush you"? Hmm.
Thanks for that, I used org-mode previously so went with this one. Can you briefly explain the literate org-mode addon and your init.org? Thanks
Only because you choose to interpret "stuff you actually need" in a nitpicking, negative way. You are not trying to understand my point.

You said you need certain things like computers. So where is the problem?
I have tried this, but adding symbols to the file becomes a giant PITA. Then, you also have to ensure that symbols are loaded on every page. I had some SVGs that were multiple kilobytes (logos and stuff), and this just increased the page weight.

You can give my library, svg-loader, [1] a try. It's a single line of javascript that makes it really easy to load external SVGs as inline elements. The syntax is even shorter and you avoid all the problems of external SVGs.

I gave a few workshops on golang development in Jordan and what i noticed is that women were much more common in the comp sci department. They also were way more interested in the topic- is the situation in gaza similiar? This was really refreshing to see
> but stupid politics

I wouldn't call 800k Israelis living on Palestinian land "stupid politics". That's a bit dismissive of the issue, don't you think?
As a former employee of Al Jazeera America, I can’t stop laughing.
There are a lot of grand parents involved in the young, then the kids grow up and teens just don't need as much time and so the grand parents are lonely. There are a lot of lonely great-grand parents that someone fit into this. There are a lot of people who don't live close to the grand parents (but may have a sibling who does).
If you're using stencils (and as long as your boards are relatively small, there's almost no reason not to with how cheap they are from jlcpcb/oshstencils), I highly recommend buying a jar of Loctite GC-10: it's the best solder paste I've ever used, and it lasts forever. I have a jar that expired 2 years ago and is still great.

Also, the T-962 reflow oven is pretty good for its price, with a bit of modding (flashing open source firmware (https://github.com/UnifiedEngineering/T-962-improvements), removing masking tape that melts and stinks, and adding a thermocouple for cold junction compensation).
This is a demonstration that all systems have outages. It does not demonstrate a distributed ledger system would be superior. Distributed technologies have different trade offs and failure modes.
Languages are essentially known to humans as a mean of communication. Why does it matter which language as long it is effective?
Have you looked at other types of modulation? Like spread-spectrum:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

This would potentially give many nice features including superimposing multiple signals, so you can have full-duplex and more people can use the audio channel at the same time.
The volunteer hours are used to offer contributions. Those contributions are accepted or rejected. If you control what gets accepted or rejected, you control the definition of how the volunteer hours are used effectively in terms of the final result.

Remember: "open source" has never meant anyone can get changes upstreamed. It has always only meant anyone can use the source downstream. This confusion has resulted in a lot of indignant outrage by armchair contributors.
It's an Interesting take on finding relatively good images from tons of duplicates that photographers usually shoot. This must have specific use cases for the photography industry, good work!

Best of luck Aaron! Really enjoyed our conversations at YC
As someone not in the loop, this almost reads like confused rambling. I get the feeling there's some point being made, but I can't seem to get a grasp on it.

So... what is this all about?
> You have to break a lot of ingrained 'finger memory'

That seems obvious but it's not true:

Your brain can easily learn different habits. For example, look at musicians playing and switching on various similar music instruments (between keyboards, different guitars like banjos or bass, kalimba (Thumb-Pianos) with 8 or 12 keys and different tuning, etc.).

Don't forget also that you can learn something fast when it gives you a quick benefit. For example, learning the french alternative keyboard layout "Bépo", takes only 2 or 3 weeks, because after one or two hours of exercises you are already typing frequent words easier and faster. I learned at the same time, the ergonomic Typematrix keyboard, and frankly the ergonomic part of the layout was easy to learn. Of course I didn't forget the other layouts, and I can type on classical Azerty or Qwerty keyboards without much thinking.

Human brain plasticity is very high.
I wish Trump wasn't real.
You can look up the Free Scots Banks. Successful? Hard to say.
Personally, I hope more companies pay attention... sometimes the only way to actually get a response from a large anonymous corporation is public shaming.
Indeed, this is one of the biggest problems of Python for large-scale projects (saying this as an avid Pythonista myself). This is due to dynamic typing, though, not weak typing (Python's typing is actually strong).

Weak typing has its merits but sometimes static typing is very useful for reading and understanding code.

No. That would be evidence of polymorphism. Those objects have explicit ways of handling those operations based on the types or interface of the object left/right of the operand.

The interpreter/type system is doing nothing implicitly behind the scenes to coerce the objects.
Can you clarify what you mean about Google?

Their official stance [1] is:

> You can make same-sex relations acceptable, but marriage will still only be opposite due to historical constraints.

Other than their official stance, I wonder if it's because they'd need to script in the in-game church's (presumably negative) reaction to this. Also there doesn't seem to be adoption in the base game, so maybe they didn't want to hand the player a quick path to a game over?

I guess most posters have already forgotten the previous big case of Visa and Mastercard declining to do processing of a client organization to praise this one as if it is a good thing. And, no, they couldn't care less about some article, and they most likely deal with much sleazier companies when it's “a matter of national/international importance”, or sufficiently high-ranking official asks politely for certain exempts. Such corporate reactions are agreed upon in advance.

Even counter-terrorism arguments still mean that someone gets the right to define who is called a terrorist today for you. I can't see how this is good news. If you think that this isn't real danger, political activists in Russia have routinely be placed on “extremist” lists, which means all their bank accounts have been frozen. I know, I know, just following the law, someone has to stop the bad guys, etc.
Honestly, I felt like your immediate dismissal of my statement about correlation with a canned response was aggressive and not conducive to further friendly discussion. The way you responded to me is the exact way I would talk to someone I intended to impatiently dismiss.

If you're really interested in discussing the topic at hand, you can choose a tack that's more open to discussion (e.g. "OK, you say they're correlated, but is there any actual evidence for causation?" might be slightly aggro, but it doesn't come off as completely dismissing what the other person said or lecture them on the basics of epistemology).

I'm sorry that I reacted the way that I did.
They're doing public things, regardless of their feelings. They could publish with more privacy if they wanted, but there's always the desire of winning the five minutes of fame lottery.
Make a living off it? Write the app in a framework that lets you one click compile and build for Android and iOS too. That's the truth.
You can't really ban "them," because you cannot objectively and factually verify they are bad actors. Check out how many startup pitch groups there are on Clubhouse. Some of those folks are actual investors, and some are just social media publicity stunt gurus. But both can sound equally good. Snake oil salesmen are going make a killing on Clubhouse.
CKIII has several "fun" toggles for ahistoric behavior, so I'm not sure if this argument fits. For example: you can flip the default inheritence system to favor women or even make the majority of people homosexual.

I'm guessing it's just more or less something they didn't get around to implementing. Perhaps they wanted to tackle it in a future patch or DLC (I can see this happening if turning this on somehow led to buggy behavior in other areas)
I can add a bit of my experience. I used Rails here and there since 2.3 and have followed Elixir since its inception.

- Channels in Phoenix are just a joy to use compared to ActionCable. This is partly due to the language (pattern matching, especially) but not having to deal with a Redis instance (and/or AnyCable) is also appealing. It just works out of the box and is ridiculously performant.

- I find the Repository pattern much easier to wrap my head around than ActiveRecord. I feel like with Rails, I always have to know the state of an object whereas w/ Ecto, things are more explicit. I know some people prefer AR here, but I prefer not making an accidental query.

- I feel like I am lost every time I'm in a Rails project with so many abstractions now. Maybe this is me being a curmudgeon, but I remember being able to trace request all the way from where it hits the machine (say, Nginx) to the HTML rendering even with Rack. Now, if I had to do something similar, there are so many layers to peel. This is again partly due to the language, and partly to Rails' age.
Are there any real answers of value on there? I know there's plenty of hilarious questions like the classic "how is babby formed?" but I wouldn't ever consider Yahoo! Answers a legitimate source for anything.
Yep, just crashed for me too
Have you looked at pandoc?

I've been working on converting an old AI book into cleaner markdown for a while, and the biggest issue there has been the lack of a clean source. I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to manage this conversion.
Looking at my friend group, it seems like a mixed bag.

We're in our early 40s. About half have been at their current place of employment for close to 10 years now. The other half seem to change jobs every couple of years, although some of those had a long tenure before the recent bought of job swapping (they haven't found a new place they like).
For all the wisdom, there's something to be said for going out on top. Charlie and Warren haven't made alpha in like 20 years.
I read once on the psychological effects of infinite scroll and that it made users somewhat anxious. I can not remember the source however.

This resonates with me. I don't like when I can not "feel the size" of a page. This might be ridiculous but I find it helps to materialize web pages when they do have a bottom.
Yeah, but lots of SoCs have special boot and SoC management cores with a different ISA. The Tegra X1 in the switch uses an ARM7, CortexMs are in vogue in a lot of designs, AMD and Intel have the PSP and ME respectively, and even the SiFive SoCs have a E core that boots the main core complex of U cores.

In none of these cases (including the RPi) is this core the GPU.
The tribunals are outside of the scope of the normal Canadian justice system and can act entirely in secret; there's no guarantee, really, that they can be counted on to agree that such a declaration is within the scope of that clause. We Canadians might not ever know how they ruled, if they ruled at all, and how much it cost us in total.
But you do imagine a god?
No. I couldn't find a straightforward "this is what we are all about" explanation on the RLSH website, but from what I was able to piece together reading through it, they are not crime fighters. Their entire focus is on community service, which they just happen to dress up as superheros for. To give one example, "Citizen Prime" would dress up as a superhero and give talks to school kids about being good citizens. If you think about it, it's not that different from McGruff the Crime Dog or Smokey the Bear, or any of the other innumerable theme-promoting mascots used in an attempt to get kids engaged in a particular cause. Others dress up as superheros to hand out food and/or toiletries to the homeless.

EDIT: One of them, "Super Hero," does border on the "crime fighting" job: he's basically a neighborhood watch leader, which does sometimes involve confronting people in the process of criminal acts.
Amen. Actually what I've learnt from people working in big corps (be it banking, pharma, IBM, whatever) bureaucracy and politics reign supreme. I'm absolutely sure that they don't fare any better than the most despised government bodies, actually. So much for the free-market legend.
That doesn't dispense from using the advices in this article, which is a basic description of my setup. Look at my home PC logs :

"That $6 million offer isn't something that Google would give everyone. It would have to be a really elite employee, although rumors say that this time it has to do with the employee being a female engineer. Even if her gender was the catalyst for such a high offer, we can safely presume that if she weren't worth it, she wouldn't be getting the money."

------------

How do you determine "if she weren't worth it"? Assuming this person has been at the company for a while, she's now only worth something like this relative to the value of Facebook having her on staff. The value the person is bringing to Google was never close to $6m, otherwise she would have already been getting that (or close to it). The $6m value to Google is in keeping whatever she knows away from Facebook.

Also, FWIW, these huge payouts to a few Googlers are primarily stock payouts, not cash. Is this $6m deal just a cash payment? $6m/year salary? This person probably has some very strategic knowledge which Google simply doesn't want Facebook to have.

It's scary if we found this to be genetic. Only because you know the potential consequences humans using this information. Fast forward to clone wars.
Why are they allowed to still sell these broken products? That's a scam as far as I'm concerned.
That doesn't make for a viral video though.
I was totally confused in that whole article about what they were talking about when they said Gross Margin.

How can professional services be included in Gross Margin?

What are they including in COGS?

Traditionally, any direct sales costs are included in COGS, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

My take:

- Fully loaded infrastructure (as parent) including bandwidth costs

- The entire support department (management and office expenses included)

- Maintenance coding (if possible to split out from feature coding)

I'm assuming all revenue is subscription-based. I agree that any other revenue should be split out and calculated separately.

Again, I'd be really tempted to include at least some Sales and Marketing costs in there, too. If you couldn't get the sale without the advert, then technically the cost of the advert is a COGS item. But I get that this is debatable (half of your marketing spend is wasted, etc).
> These people would probably do better to spend that time...

We need to have a robust theory of human agency. That I play videogames with no moral worth or depth does not mean I don't also go to the gym, mealprep my lunches, or read philosophy in my free time.

Likewise, just because someone enjoys zoning out and scrolling on instagram or watching celebrities doesn't invalidate their other time that they may spend in beneficial activities.

Everyone has leisure activities that have no value - that's the point of leisure. When we start preaching to others, we've lost sight of what it means to be human.
None needs to, it's opensource. They're moving to protect its freedom.
It's a company which makes the profit. If you started a company and sold the tool for $500 and the company paid you $500 then there is no more profit for the company. If the company paid you $250, only then can they claim to have made $250 profit.

Hence, profits are nothing more than unpaid wages.
At least it is a company that could print money if it can't repay its debt.
That would bring us back to the proletariat again.

Although today these workers do indeed have production capital, which is expressed through their knowledge and education in many cases.
You're asking for startups to compete for a scarce resource (women) in an already scarce subset of engineers (good ones).

That's a pretty tall order for startups. And an almost impossible one if you expect them to take time out of (likely) much more pressing matters to expressly reach out (in some as yet undefined "woman-friendly" way) to females just to that they'll apply.

Not hire females. Just to get them to apply.
Your answers look pretty good. Most likely, your answers were combined with other data such as your resume to make the decision.

If you applied to Google for instance, it's likely that your academic qualifications just didn't fit their possibly inflated criteria.
