I think you're missing something. The fact that you fly so frequently probably means you require less security. They've dealt with you so many times already and probably know a lot about you. Before you even get to the airport all these things are evaluated. Your digital profile plays a big role, it's not jst about what you look like.

A fair point. I think it's safe to say that's not the case - they really think it's just water, but let's just say they do treat them as bomb ingredients. Even though binary explosives are inert when separate that still doesn't mean you can just throw them away.

Seems like you just skipped to the graphs which showed men in the control group doing slightly better than men in the "affirmation" group.

If you read the article it does not suggest that men did worse because of the affirmation excercise. These were two different groups of men, so presumably the control group happened to be a smarter bunch. Or maybe the other class took place at 8am and everybody was asleep, etc.

Of course it would be interesting to see this done on a larger scale with more details of statistical significance of the numbers.

Whatever happens next, not much will change for the users of the popular BitTorrent indexer. The Pirate Bay website will remain online and operating as usual. None of the defendants are involved in the site anymore, and all assets are reportedly owned by the Seychelles based company Reservella.

Nice to see like-minded folks out there. Like him, I run X mostly for having multiple full-height rxvt+screen sessions (three per virtual desktop).

I only use three graphical apps: Firefox, pidgin (grudgingly), and the Qt interface for VirtualBox. The rest are text apps and custom shell scripts for accomplishing tasks in tandem with those apps (such a "find | random | mpg123" for shuffling music directories).

I highly recommend "evilwm" for managing such a setup. Its single-pixel window borders with no window decorations is desktop minimalism as its finest. It's also got the lightest memory footprint of all the minimal WMs out there. Windows can be moved, re-sized, and snapped to locations with keystrokes. For fine-tuned placement of regularly-used apps, a simple shell script can be crafted to launch them with the precise geometry you require (or ALT+MOUSE_LEFT to lift the window). I have hot-keys defined (using "xbindkeys") that will populate virtual desktops to exact specifications.

My only gripe with this setup is the competition for key chords amongst emacs, screen, and evilwm itself. That, and every once in a while, some web page will throw a Firefox window that I simply cannot close without the "x" screen decoration (at least not without closing Firefox itself -- grrr...).
This blog post explores the implications of this quote by David Mamet:

"It’s the difference between a nomadic people and an indigenous people. The studio people are going to be there every year. They have a way things are done, and as long as they subscribe to the way things are traditionally done and please their superiors, they have a reasonable certainty of a secure life. On the other hand, a nomadic people--you could say Jews, you could say Gypsies, you could say artists--are going to come into a new situation where they aren’t particularly welcome, assess the situation as quickly as they can and make something new out of it, make a new solution that hasn’t occurred to the indigenous people because the indigenous people have been there too long."

We have the same experience (at a much smaller scale!). We can pull down production sites into a VM to see what happens whenever we make an API improvement. It is a great way to catch subtler things too like performance changes.

Oh totally, I'm not advocating prejudice based on age or any other demographic factor.

I'm suggesting is that the author needs to somehow distinguish between prejudice because of age, and failures because of actually not being good.

My experience is that most people (of all ages) think they are better than they actually are. Some then go on to blame their failure to achieve a goal on some external factor (in this case ageism). I'm just suggesting that the graph showing that 47% of under 18's think they have been a subject of ageism is fairly irrelevant. Wait until those 18 year olds are 35, then ask them if they were subject to ageism at 18, I bet their story changes.
I don't understand how can you allow this to happen? I get one platform being down, but for all of your platforms to be down is not a good sign.

> The people storming those buildings think an election was stolen from them, and no amount of 'fact check' thinkpieces in the NYTimes is going to convince them otherwise

Even with strong measures these people aren't going to accept something contrary to their world view. There's no satiating the blood lust of a fascist movement like Q Anon--thats why people refer to fascism as a death spiral.

That's why I'm saying your blaming of the "left" is wrong: you're just trying to shoe horn yourself into the protagonist of reality by saying that this mob of lunatics agrees with your pet issue. They are literally storming capitol buildings, yet you think that they will suddenly trust the government in the future.
Not an American, living in EU.

It somehow reminds me of Weimar Germany, with two very fringe (sometimes militant) opposing groups radicalising the rest of the society -- or the rest just ignoring the whole mess and going about their lives.
You're right. Multiple startups trying to solve this problem. We want to stand out by making it incredibly easy for teams to build personalized spaces.
The genuine sources have issues like bias or sloppy investigating, that leads to outright lies too. For years the media was representing the gender wage gap as being a man and women in the same job with all attributes other than gender being equal (even Obama said this during a state of the union). That clearly isn't what the BLS study says (difference in occupations, in part, drive the wage gap on an aggregate level).

>compare their boot times to the 2-5 minutes which computers usually need

I thought my old Athlon 1.1GHz was slow but it boots in under 2 minutes (just), I consider that very slow.

I can't really understand why phones would take long to boot, restoring state from flash memory can't be that slow surely? Quick test for me, new phone Sony T715 is 12s and old phone Sony Z610i is 6s (rough numbers, to usable interface not including signal acquisition); seems longer than it should be.
I wonder if there is an element of implied location (wherever the speaker is usually present physically "at night" -- presumably at home) and time (usually day time for "outdoors") that might make the sentence meaningful and good enough for every day communication?

While I don't think the NYT had a strong reason to reveal Scott's real name, it's absurd to say that newspapers shouldn't "reveal someone's real identity against that person's wishes" in the general case.

Sure, they could provide medical services and interface with health insurance companies, then they'd be a covered entity under HIPAA. They could employ medical staff to prescribe tests and provide test results to patients, then they'd be a covered entity under HIPAA.

I don't believe HIPAA is outdated, I believe that people just very much misunderstand it. The full title is "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act" - it's literally a bill to regulate health insurance companies, it was never meant to be more.

Congress could pass a general medical privacy bill tomorrow, yet they appear to be extremely uninterested in doing so, so they don't.

Their business model is probably just offering this testing service at the moment, but their weasely response when asked if their data was covered by HIPAA makes me think that they are keeping selling data on the back burner as an emergency option.

I think it makes a great deal of sense to teach every student how to operate a band saw. And also how to dance, and how to read poetry, and how to draw with perspective, and how to use a potter’s wheel, and how to solve Newtonian mechanics problems, and how to build simple electrical circuits, how some basic cooking chemistry works, and how double-entry bookkeeping works, and some basic music theory, and how to operate a non-linear video editor, and on and on. Not every student necessarily needs to learn every thing, but schools should have the resources to teach many things to every student.

If kids are going to spend half of their time for 13 years (!) in school, I sure hope they’re learning all sorts of useful things. Drilling them on geography or historical dates or the content of 19th century “classic” novels, &c., certainly isn’t the only important thing in the world.

"remaining employees will have a higher concentration of high-wage specialists" We're not talking about the average here. More federal workers made more money. It's that simple.

From a organizational standpoint, the Beatles collapsed in less than ten years.

Not to discount the artistic qualities of the Beatles' music, but the "Rolling Stones model" has been successfully replicated far more frequently. Pick a style, stick to it for the most part, minimize experimentation, and stay in regular contact with your customers.

In other words, you're probably better off to focus on being a rock n' roll band than to be the second band to use sitars.

Thought doesn't have mass. I see no reason to discount superluminal communication.
For someone who's tried seeking remote work (and kind of failed because most of my colleagues don't work remotely), remote work is all about work-life balance for me, and it signals that my employer intends to be lean and agile (mostly small companies?) and/or values my work-life balance.

If it's done the way it's proposed in the article then I think I'd think twice about working remotely for that company, this part is a particularly huge red flag for me:

> Also, the founders (or management if it’s a bigger company) should signal that this is something good, encourage it.

It also feels a bit odd that a remote team needs to "foster cohesion". Isn't the whole point that remote work is successful for some companies because the people who are involved with it are good at communication, function cohesively, and hyper-focused when it comes to getting stuff done?

Admittedly I have never worked a truly remote role, but the reasons given in the article are all the reasons that I don't want to apply for a particularly remote role.

Edit: typo (remote --> remotely).

> Corporations aren't good or evil. They are powerful

That meant to imply that google is neutral? The strong nuclear force is powerful that doesn’t mean anything on its own. It can be harvested for good electricity or bad bombs. Of course the consensus on this is almost universal, the consensus on google is much more ambivalent. Corporations may well be good or evil
I can’t stand their key: "&"

"!" I can easily type just with my left hand, "&" requires left & right hand working together. For something, I use as often as bangs on DDG that is simply not acceptable.
True, I think it was in various discussions here on HN including maybe under Tim Bray's article too. Same kind of rumors were circulating regarding AMP. There is still no direct evidence that Google's web plugins matter, but at least it seems like spammy websites that are fully equipped with Google's stuff get favorable ranking. And vice versa, you won't see high ranking spammy results that are not crammed with GA, Google Fonts and what not.
I wish this was actually possible, but, as much as I dislike Google as a company, the quality gap just makes the switch impossible.
I tried it for awhile and had to go back to google. I type in “relevant error message stackoverflow” and NO WHERE in the first three pages of results can I find the same stack overflow post that’s purple from my 20 visits over the last 5 years because I just can’t memorize everything. I google the same thing and it’s top results every time. I don’t understand search so it could easily be personalized results remembering what I looked at but it doesn’t matter. What matters is it just works and DDG didn’t.
Why not give them your SSN? Do you have any lines of credit?
> Computer science is not science

Disagree profoundly.

And if perchance you got to that conclusion because you believe you can't apply the scientific method to CS (as in: formulate a theory about how the world "is", design an experiment to test the theory, run the experiment, rinse, repeat), you are mistaken: when dealing with systems of exploding complexity (which is, btw and imo, what physics is all about as well), this is a very fruitful attack strategy.
I didn't mean to come off as aggressive :) But the reality is that there is way more money in knowing people than in doing work. The sooner in your career you can make the transition from being someone who creates value by doing work to someone who creates value by knowing people, the happier you will be and the more control you will have over your destiny.

No. Moving to Haskell did give me much nicer options for concurrency and performance. Was principally about productivity (area under a curve).

THE RAILROAD STATION

My nonarrival in the city of N.
took place on the dot.

You'd been alerted
in my unmailed letter.

You were able not to be there
at the agreed-upon time.

The train pulled up at platform 3.
A lot of people got out.

My absence joined the throng
as it made its way toward the exit.

Several women rushed
to take my place
in all that rush.

Somebody ran up to one of them.
I didn't know him,
but she recognized him
immediately.

While they kissed
with not our lips,
a suitcase disappeared,
not mine.

The railroad station in the city of N.
passed its exam
in objective existence
with flying colors.

The whole remained in place.
Particulars scurried
along the designated tracks.

Even a rendezvous
took place as planned.

Beyond the reach
of our presence.

In the paradise lost
of probability.

Somewhere else.
Somewhere else.

“Educators feel that their schools’ reputation, their livelihoods, their psychic meaning in life is at stake,” said Robert Schaeffer, public education director for FairTest, a nonprofit group critical of standardized testing. “That ends up pushing more and more of them over the line.”

There is a certain strain of teacher who never felt their reputation, livelihood, or psychic essence was at danger when they were merely failing to educate, for decades. After all, to the extent that anyone noticed, it was poor black kids. Who the heck cares what they think.

That strain of teacher is now motivated by fear of exposure. Which is as it should be.

I've noticed there are 3 types of people when it comes to sharing interesting things on Slack work channels: 1) hates the distraction and would love a summary by email (me), 2) is fine with Slack and 3) doesn't really care and doesn't want to be involved.

The less work 1 and 3 have, the better. I think I'm proposing a slack-email brdige now. Things are getting out of hand :)

TLDR: ‘A sewer of bigotry and vile conspiracy theories that threatens democracy and our planet - this cannot possibly be what the creators of the internet had in mind.’

In a speech last night at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen attacked Facebook and other social media platforms for enabling the proliferation of hate speech and misinformation.

The speech was striking in its sincerity – Baron Cohen appeared as himself, rather than “in character” as one of his satirical personas – and its blistering tone.

Describing Facebook as “the greatest propaganda machine in history”, Baron Cohen argued that the company, which does not vet political ads for truthfulness, would have allowed Hitler to run propaganda on its platform.

It does but I think in general MS products will be more attractive to a mixed (PC/Mac) organization than iCloud. It's virtually impossible in most industries to not have to work with MS Office documents with external parties (and internal, good luck hiring legal or accounting people and telling them they can only use icloud).

Even though I really prefer google drive to anything else, it also suffers from this problem, too. Even if it were perfect at editing native Office documents, you still inevitably end up with people saving files as office documents and working locally for both legitimate and illegitimate reasons.
Well, if you look at Oedipus and Jesus, they appeal to Girard’s definition of being scapegoats in that they didn’t do anything wrong, but are presented as resolving a serious problem, which they don’t actually solve. In the case of Oedipus, he is accused not merely of marrying his mother and marrying his father, but of bringing a plague into Thebes, which is just silly and demonstrably impossible; and his death does not resolve. With Jesus, he irritated a bunch of Jews and Romans, but wasn’t really guilty of causing that problem either.

In both these cases, Girard is being plenty honest and reasonable, and his point still stands (which you take issue with) — namely: that those that engage in scapegoating don’t realize they have, which is also true— the people of Thebes and the Jews/Romans, respectively.
