with lots of more information around the subject he is very devoted to.
If this is correct:

"some 80 percent of it evidently earmarked for employee severance payments at Sun’s European and Asian outposts"

Then the numbers may be significantly different due to differences in employee law and culture.

Also, if they're closing down offices, e.g. consolidating them with existing Oracle sales and support ones world wide, there's all sorts of other expenses involved.
I'm not so sure. You can anonymise the data and it wouldn't effect the intended result. The whole premise is to track relationships between _departments_ so the actual identities in question matter less.
You just want to try to prevent a "them" and "us" culture.

To provide a software analogy you want the platform group to be friends with the application group and enjoy working together. I've experienced a split myself where one team would just blame the other team for the problems in the final solution and it isn't productive.
Or INTJ is what you get when you answer questions in a way that you expect to be conforming to what your fellow grad students will respect, before going to a meeting and revealing your result to them.
Damn. I figured the CCTV would at least knock crime down a little.

Afraid to ask what kind of crime happens in places without cameras - those that exist.
That’s exactly what I’m saying.

We should assume that most of the people that live in Portugal are not stupid or victims. They’re optimizing for something they prefer.

The GP is the one that reduced the choice of living in Portugal to wealth, not me.
It sort of doesn't prove forests are the best solution. Yes, they are natural and have a bunch of obvious advantages, but it's still not clear if they are best we can employ for the efforts - after all, plants weren't optimized for clearing after human blunders. So while we enthusiastically support growing trees... let's keep looking for better solutions.
dnautics isn't wrong. Even the issues you bring up are addressed by Erlang/OTP. Distributed Erlang with 10K nodes, hot code reload, etc.
Starlink is not available in your area?
Also you don't know how many people turned off their WiFi and just ran Ethernet cables everywhere after struggling to get usable connection speeds.

Well, I got bad news for you, buddy, it isn't a new thing and it isn't just the internet.. http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Well I'm in China myself and while I agree I think it might not produce the effect you want. First, ideologies and absolute rules dont work because as soon as you know them, you work to bypass them to your advantage.

With that in mind, what do you think of the current situation? The US maximize price based optimization (get the best deal) while China maximize population occupancy (everyone must work, nobody is educated = low salary, high industrial out, low output price - one might say to make its population calmer, or simply because for them being busy > getting the best deal).

You then have the largest oldest country in the world trending toward mass slavery reducing prices for the richest most abstract country trending towards 0 productivity in exact opposite.

What is the end game? All americans, getting everything for free losing the ability to build anything while all Chinese work at their own health cost to provide the best prices while being the only ones able to produce anything ?

I think a more balanced local mini supply chain would help both countries and Im glad it s heavily discussed all over the world (decoupling from China, Chinese industries realizing their Chinese employees are now their best clients)

It’s the end of the world, and deep in the apocalyptic hell-scape of 2019 Massachusetts, some random professor whines that Latin is problematic.
Frankly, this technique is security theater and doesn't deserve mention. As you mentioned, it is a fairly weak defense against dictionary attacks, and it does nothing to prevent possibly the most common attack: users re-using passwords they've used on other sites, and those sites leaking passwords.
I find that putting the daily standup right after or before lunch, pretty easily fixes this problem (assuming the team eats lunch together) - there's no extra time wasted, as you would have been interrupted anyways.
That's true, but the solution is simple: don't do that. :)
Nobody on the planet has ever gone "oh fuck me I only made 300 million with my extremely successful business instead of 600 million. Well what a waste of time, I shouldn't have ever started it."

No rational person that isn't already well off would take a 1% shot at 1 billion over a 10% shot at 100 million.

Progressive taxation and social safety don't stifle economies, they make them thrive. They act as a negative tax on risk, and create a framework where actors are free to pursue higher EV bets without worrying as much about utility value. Literally the entire point is to create more pie for everyone.

Bludgers getting "free money" is just a side effect. You're not paying for them with your taxes, you're paying into an insurance fund with all the other innovators. Except this fund is +EV, subsidized by all the other countries in the global economy that aren't taking the same gains. You're the one getting the free money, and the leaners are taxing some percentage of that.

The only reason every successful country in the world isn't already doing it is because of this unintuitive "common sense" optic that you (and about a billion others, literally) are propagating: that somehow it breaks the rules of "fairness". The reality is it's got absolutely nothing to do with fairness, it's about maximizing the bottom line, just like in business. Governments don't give a shit about individual people, nor should they (at least not at the expense of society).

Also, I'd guess most first world countries could easily (and do) provide a world class social safety net without going over 50% taxation in any bracket, not even billionaires. Your example only applies if you're talking about taxation in the 70-100% range.

I don't feel it's irrelevant. Both anecdotes point to Tim being a progressive, unconventional CEO.

I think it's great, and I didn't personally pick up on CNN trying to pull anything sleazy here.
Agreed. I did almost the exact same path. Once you've gotten that first job and have a few years of professional software development under your belt, changing jobs is very easy. Potential employers see "software engineer" and "PhD" on your resume and don't care that it's an ME degree.

Btw, scottndecker, did you go to Rose-Hulman for undergrad?
Funny funny funny, are we seeing Russian trolls on hacker news?

Yesterdays article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9269760 got me thinking, there were several newly registered users voicing doubts in American Democracy and showing support for Russsa (c_los, M8, ibi7) and now borgia is chipping in for Russian rocket engines.
The word tax is misrepresentative - they don't buy you the same thing at all in Europe and in the US. Although most European also use tax to name anything they have to pay to the gvt agencies, a significant part of it buys you things you have to pay for yourself in the US, like health care and retirement.

You can argue about the services you get, but comparing directly taxes without taking into account the services provided in return is disingenuous.
Works okay for me at first in Firefox 4.0b7 - but after a few seconds of playing with the sparkles following my mouse (nearly as childish as it sounds) it abruptly stops and they vanish. No JS error reported.
I suppose it depends on the university, department and teacher, but we were allowed to use calculators on math exams. Of course, they weren't helpful at all - if you knew how to solve the problem the calculations were so simple that you didn't need a calculator, if you didn't, you couldn't solve the problem no matter how good your calculator was.

For similar reasons, we were also allowed to bring in any books, notes etc. to exams. If you didn't have a good understanding of the subject, they weren't helpful at all as there was no time to start figuring out things, but if knew stuff, you didn't need the books and lecture notes at all or only for reference.

Sometimes I miss those times.
I'm aware, thank you. 'Roadnottaken' changed his/her post after I commented. I understand that makes it look like I was referring to the phrase "The Netherlands' are high".
I wonder what kinds of workloads this is actually useful for?

JavaScript performance has vastly improved in the last few years but it's still relatively slow, as are most individual's network connections.

IIRC a bunch of people tried this approach on the Engine Yard SHA-1 hashing contest, and were obliterated by those using CUDA, etc.

> The functions are part of the controversial Jungian ideas the article mentioned. Most people ignore them entirely and treat the preferences as axes.

They do. And IMO this is exactly why the results never reproduce. The functions actually make sense and anecdotally seem to correspond to something in the real world (they've rarely if ever been subject to scientific testing as far as I'm aware). The preferences by themselves are just a somewhat less reproducible variant of the Big 5 as criticisms claim.

> I think they just meant INTJ or INTP.

I'm sure they did. My point being that if you look at the functions (which most anyone who takes Myers-Briggs seriously does) then INTJ and INTP aren't similar at all. So talking about them together makes little sense. Although reading up the thread, it looks like they were just suggesting that they both have subreddits. Which I guess isn't really talking about their personalities at all.
The CCP(Chinese Communist Party) bullying are more accurate
Nope :-)

In France I was given 2 weeks notice, immediately before Christmas.

The landlord sold the property I was in without telling me, then gave me 2 weeks.

That was difficult as I was booked to fly to the UK in 1 week.

Finding another place to live at Christmas is difficult. Doing everything to process it including moving within 1 week is difficult. Luckily for me, some Mormon friends came to visit, and when I told them my predicament, they did everything to help me move my stuff quickly to my new temporary place. Good people - thanks guys!

In January I had to find somewhere again, because I hadn't been find a suitable long term rental before Christmas.
I am russian, and while I understand why these types of jokes exist, I never understood why they are "jokes". Are they actually funny?

Was the first one funny but then people kept making more which aren't funny?

Why is it a joke to use sentence structure from another language?

Also, OPs post was actually clever, which can't be said of 99% of these things
Why would I ever need it "unified"? Mouse interaction and touch interaction are night and day, I'm in entirely different mental modes when I use either of those devices. What is confusing is when suddenly, up is down. That's legit confusing.

Admittedly I use an actual mouse with actual buttons. I tossed the "magic" mouse into a drawer after a week because it was annoying. Cute, but a pain when you're trying to get actual work done.
There is another cultural norm that is prevalent in the financial industry leads (IMHO) to dishonesty. It is an incredibly competitive industry, reliant on a small(ish) number of very well remunerated individuals.

These individuals are put under immense pressure to perform flawlessly. Any mistakes are picked up on very quickly and a perceived weakness can cause the wolves to circle in an instant. There is no incentive to come clean about mistakes, and immense pressure to cover-up and hide any weaknesses or errors.

You can't avoid human fallibility. If you expect perfection, all you get is lies and deceit. The only way to truly outperform is to institutionalise openness, continual improvement, and learning from our mistakes.
> it's practically impossible to seal [the analog hole]

It's easier than you think. Look at Macrovision. Look at the EURion constellation. All you have to do is make your secure video path emit some kind of signal not immediately apparent to human eyes. In a post-general-purpose-computing world, you can just make consumer-grade devices respect these signals and refuse to record and make professional-grade equipment both insanely expensive and specifically traceable.
> Until I can see the source and build the app myself, I'll assume Wickr just is another government op.

You absolutely should and Sell must be aware of this (she sounds smart enough to not be delusional about it). It is apparently not addressed by the Wickr team on their web page as far as I can tell, so that's suspicious. They do have an impressive $100K bug bounty, but that doesn't exactly make it look less spook-ish.
This is less an op-ed piece than it is an advertorial. No substance that I can detect, and lots of meaningless platitudes and cliches.
"15 years into the internet age, and 5 into the cloud you have no excuse." Yes, you did.
Been awhile since I worked at AOL. One of the funnier moments for me was when I started working there, someone referred to the client (the one they shipped via CD) as WAOL (pronounced - Whale). IIRC, the executable was waol.exe.

Jokes aside, they had some pretty fierce technology on the backend that, had it seen the light of day of Open Source, would have been the precursor to Docker and Protocol Buffers. All this back in the 90's.
This family strikes me as litigious as hell. if they feel wronged that deeply, and they have the deep pockets that are essential to suing everyone in sight and running a media campaign (of which we are now all a part), then could they find it in their hearts to not sue the person who physically did all he could to help their dead relative? Why sue the doctor?

Because their lawyers said they had a chance at extracting money. Make no mistake; this is about money and pride. People get filmed dying nearly every day, and much of that death reel finds its way to the Public. These people have the means and, though this is a complete guess on my part, the experience to wage a lawsuit battle with a Hospital, a Production Company, and a Doctor.

I am very familiar with the heartlessness required to produce TV, especially reality TV. I hate it every time some dipshit redneck violates a suspect's rights on COPS by being vague, or someone having a horrible day gets mocked by the by-standers as their crappy car gets towed. We are a culture that indulges in the misery of others. Just because a few rich people tasted what everyone from low income areas eat for breakfast does not seem to me a good reason to flip the table and hunt down camera people.
Whenever I've tried standing, my feet ache within about 10 minutes. Walking I can do for much, much longer stretches. Either way, it's a big change to go from sitting all day to either walking or standing, and a good idea to blend it in to your work day slowly over a couple of weeks rather than force yourself to go whole hog from the the first day.

Now that I think about it, when I switched from sitting to walking, I got a tall sit/stand stool so I could switch a lot. It was a really cheap stool, and it put my butt and legs to sleep in 10-20 minutes. It was so uncomfortable that I would only use it when standing was starting to hurt, and I'd sit until sitting was starting to hurt, and then have to stand again. That stool didn't last long, but it might have helped me transition more than I thought.
The concern is not about the conduct of people with a former SEC grand poobah on retainer.

People running scams won't worry about all that stuff that separates legitimate from illegitimate. What this does is provide an easier way to appear legitimate to a wider section of the population. $70k in legal fees is just chump change if you can get 1000 $2k investors in two hours over the internet. And maybe get a small time lawyer to do the paperwork in exchange for equity.
OP suggested adding "github.com" to the popup's message. That would be a Bad Idea.

I think you're rather overstating that.
True, but wouldn't you use Vagrant, Doccker or something similar to develop on? Can't speak for the OP's situation, but it seems a strange set-up that's all.

One well-known company I worked had a data breach published online and reported on. I know people on the accounts team and security team and have seen the code for how passwords are hardened. No one internally who knew those systems thought it was a breach; it was more likely people reusing credentials that were breached elsewhere.
OP wrote "a fairly local optimzation". Compared to what a placement algorithm must do for an FPGA, your example is still exactly that, and one that's relatively easy to get right with a few heuristics.
Here's actual research on long Covid:

https://www.nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-publishes-second-themed-rev...

> For those admitted to hospital, between 50-89% had at least one enduring symptom after two months. Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later;

> Long Covid appears to be more prevalent in women and in young people (including children) than might have been expected from acute Covid19 mortality;

That's not "very low" and you shouldn't insert your own conclusions on unnamed resources.
Also see the IVD [1]. Indeed both 邉 (U+9089) and 邊 (U+908A) are exceptionally variable characters, the first having 32 variation sequences (the record as of 2020-11-06) and the second having 21 variation sequences.

Video can have chapters too, but I generally agree. The ideal format is probably text with pictures, animations, interactive models... when needed. It's a real shame that we don't have an electronic document format...

Today's docker fun: the current docker.py breaks when trying to remove images from the previous minor version of docker (works on 1.4, breaks on 1.3). I guess docker(.py) doesn't care about the philosopy of semver.

Why strictly two spaces and no tabs? Ive found this to be a trend I just don't understand.

At my work we have ~30 front end developers and we have a strict tabs only policy, so everyone can use their IDE to choose their tab width depending on how they like it.

Am I missing some benefit?
That dark mode is really dark...
No, I take it back. Legos were surely never intended for this use case.
You're absolutely right, which makes me wonder if something else could be going on. The article makes it sound like he believed it likely that this exploit is already in the wild, but didn't want to say that directly when he said: "I've concluded that there’s a significant possibility that attackers have studied this component, and releasing this information rapidly is in the best interest of security"

And an active exploit in the wild seems like the kind of thing that would tip the scales. Or maybe he believed that they'd sit on this for 6 months while all the black hats quietly formulated and circulated an exploit.

Since the comment to which you're replying uses the word "insinuating" I deduce that originally it said "asserting" but after your comment it was edited by staunch without a note to say so. Yes?

> Full disclosure: I work at Google, where many are sad to not be able to use recent Facebook code.

I'm confused. The Facebook PATENTS stuff seems no worse than MIT-licensed code that includes no patent grant at all.

In other words, if the PATENTS termination clause takes effect, then the software essentially reverts to being plain MIT, instead of MIT + patent grant, right?

EDIT: Appears the issue is implicit vs explicit patent grant, and the Facebook PATENTS stuff can indeed be worse than no patent grant. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9113515
