Sounds amusing, but stuff like this used to happen before the event of high bandwidth internet a decade or so ago. In the olden days it was physically swapping cassette tapes, then later posting floppy disks. Flash drives are just the modern floppy disk/CD.

Insulting, simple to do (g-t keys right next to each other) and the spell checker wouldn't catch it.

As regards the danger words; if you find that your're typing a lot of them, it may be a good idea to reconsider your career choices.
The curse of dimensionality, I'd guess.
Agreed. I've bitched about seeing right (or libertarian)-wing propaganda sites like mises.org here - same thing goes for motherjones - it's politics, and politics do not belong here.

I've recently discovered Not Just Bikes channel [1], and can't recommend it enough.

He is Canadian, commuter, not a cyclist [2], yet he found that in Netherlands are the most livable cities, to the point he's decided to rise children there [3]. He answers all the critique raised in this thread. And describes how Netherlands achieve its goals - bike paths are on another level there, they are specifically organized on different routes [4].

I would suggest you look into smaller companies with support / Managed Services tasks. DevOps might be great idea as you can automate many things and be more idle, focus on things that are more important to you and still generate enough value to keep the job.
They chanted about executing your VP.
The fact that the metric here is "Market Share" tells me that this is most likely a big nothing burger.

Market Share makes sense if you're talking about retail, or browsers.. but a static recurring payment? Why would Netflix care if a customer decides to also pick up another streaming service, effectively cutting their market share in half, while they keep full revenue.

There's a dozen+ streaming services out there that people have picked up, but in my personal experience, very few, if any, people I know have cancelled Netflix- they're just spending more and more money on streaming as time goes on.
> According to a study by the consultancy company Ampere Analysis published today by The Wrap, Netflix market share went from 29% at the beginning of last year to 20% now.

A study by a company I've never heard of published in a publication I've never heard of says that Netflix lost 'market share'.

This information is so vague as to be useless. How are they measuring market share? How do they count users like me who are technically subscribed to at least 3 of the services they cite (I'm subscribed to Netflix, Prime, and AppleTV. The latter two I got for free from buying other services, and almost never use.) Do hours watched count? or money spent (my amazon subscription is half the price of my netflix one and I only use it for prime shipping, and my apple one was free because I bought a phone)?
I was super excited to buy it, but alas, it is not available yet.

>But I'm not sure that a CS bachelor's is actually as a career move necessary for that.

You're probably right, from a technical standpoint, but it's going to be far easier to get that first professional gig if you have a CS degree.
Yes indeed. 3 is a better number though : p
He also wrote a good chunk of the code you used to post this comment.
I was trying to remember what that frisbee thing is called. Discus!
If you wanted to develop for a platform in the 90s/early 2000s, Microsoft had the best documented platforms with an incredible amount of samples to learn from.

There were no other platforms seriously in contention in the mid 90s and early 2000s. There was Apple circling the drain and Unix vendors were all over the place.

In today’s world, if you are a major corporation that needs help you have all sorts of “partners” that will help you with your chosen platform, information on any API usage is all online.

In the classic MacOS days in the 80s and early 90s, Apple had the multivolume “Inside Macintosh” series.

I have to really disagree about extend. Yes, it's easy and potentially disastrous to misuse extend erratically, but used sanely there should never be side effects and your compiled css should be smaller than otherwise.

Regarding side effects, they're easy to avoid if you structure your main file in a logical way. For generic extension, your library of base classes (both actual classes and silent classes) should be included before your components which extend and build on them, therefore any inherited styles come before (and can therefore be overwritten by) the extending component but never the other way around. When extending a component, the extending objects should always be in the same file and come after (e.g. .gallery followed by .gallery-foo and .gallery-bar which both extend .gallery). If full blown objects/components are related enough to extend, they're related enough to be in the same file.

Avoiding extend compiled file size bloat mostly comes from sane nesting behavior that you should be following regardless. Adding single selectors to an extended rule is almost always going to be smaller than inlining/mixing that rule, even for simple rules.

Discoverability is always going to take a hit with extend, yes, but in my opinion dryness, single-point-of-change, and compile size are far more important than in-file discoverability, assuming your project layout is sane.
Good sleuthing. Disheartening social commentary: “Luckily I have a really supportive employer.” Is there one who wouldn’t remove the loo spritzer faced with this guy’s, um, face?
I get your critique of carbon capture tech, but it's also the only way we can clean up (that part of) our mess.
There were mutiple reason, citing from top of my head as I don't find he old paper anymore. Reasons were:

- Reliability and insurance costs
- limited number of launches
- refurbishment costs of boosters ompared to new ones
- heavier and more expensive boosters to make them reusable

This paper was way before SpaceX tried that. And whther or not reusable boosters are really a financial success is impossible to tell without published financials from SpaceX. The paper alsosaid, that reusable boosters become interessting with a high number of commercial launches, something they didn't see to happen. And that part alone makes Starlink so interessting, because it is basically SpaceX increasing its own number of launches.
> - Monotonically-growing DOM slows things down eventually, unless you start de-rendering previous "pages", which adds even more complexity and unpredictability (Ctrl+F doesn't behave as expected, for example)

Is this what Twitter is doing? Is this why Ctrl+F almost never works there?
I agree that confidence is important.

The other stuff does matter too though. It’s better to recognize that rather than pretend it’s all confidence.

The girl that canceled the date didn’t do so because I wasn’t confident, she did so because she saw a picture of me with thinning hair on FB. Another canceled when she found out I was 3 months younger than her. People are picky.

Thankfully I've since met someone really great and I'm now engaged/out of the game. I'm glad.
it was money wasted that could have been spent on a lot of other more useful things.
I'm sorry, but this is simply ignorant.

While it's true that racial oppression is often less in Europe due to better government regulations and social safety nets and whatnot, on a personal level there's still plenty of bigotry and xenophobia, sometimes moreso than the US.

I'm an American living in Munich (working for Google actually), go ahead and try telling foreigners here that landlords they're talking to while applying for an apartment treat them the same way as native Germans. The idea is laughable.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Here's a poll on whether people in different countries feel that increasing diversity is a positive change. Note that the US comes out ahead of most of the European countries listed, as well as substantially ahead of the European median: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2019/04/22/how-people-aro...
Perhaps Europe is better at gender (due to strong social policies), but Europe is't immune to racism.

It's not talked about so loudly like in the US, but I've experienced so much low-key, out in the open racism in Europe towards Arabs, Moroccans, Chinese, Africans and so on.

I'm not white and while I don't feel like my life is in danger, I know from looks and behavior that I'm not on equal footing with a white European.
Congrats on your achievement! Do you plan on getting a degree or skipping it if you get an offer?
> For me it was always an uphill battle to sell the need of security

60+ ppl is pretty far along where other security aspects besides infosec also start showing up (e.g. securing employee computers, etc). Was this because tech-debt in general wasn't a priority or security specific improvements weren't seen as important?
Maybe it is OK to ask money for such a service? I think in general that kind of service does exist. You can pay people or companies to try to remove as much as possible of your content from the internet.
I still remember all the Techcrunch posts in 2006 when it became clear that Yahoo Answers was beating Google Answers [0]. Back then, Google was killing Yahoo in the same way that Amazon is killing Walmart today - very publicly and brutally, despite Walmart (and back then Yahoo) putting on a brave face and telling everyone that it can avoid the inevitable. So when Yahoo scored a tiny little victory, they celebrated it like it was the beginning of a new era. I imagine that Walmart would do the same today if the public gave them credit for building a better automated CX bot or scoring some other interesting but immaterial win.

Surely you can get this information from a popular search engine instead of asking people to do that work for you.
Yeah, I took it as an indictment of the current system, not a defense of it. If they'd meant it to be a defense they likely would have said something like "if you can't do the time don't do the crime" and "It's called consequences", and other neutral to positive phrases. 'Cruelty' is generally considered a negative term; to apply it to something else is usually to pass judgement on that something else.
Optimal Stopping is the first chapter of Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths' book Algorithms to Live By, which does a good job describing the problem in laymen terms.
Fictional dramas are shown in schools all the time, even if they're not an official part of the curriculum. If we can be shown Pocahontas and The Patriot (a film where among other things Mel Gibson slays 30+ British soldiers with a tomahawk of all things) we can be shown one that portrays American cruelties as well.

What's the worst they can do with it? Call me all hours of the day trying to sell me an extended factory warranty for my free Medicare brace that, by the way, has a Security Number that is under arrest by the Security Administration because it made fraudulent IRS payments with iTunes gift cards to lower my student loan payments because I didn't listen when Microsoft called about my Windows Virus?

Oh, wait, sorry, it hung up on me after dialing because their call center was full. Even if they answer, they just won't play anymore - as soon as they think you might be messing with them (or just aren't going to buy whatever they're selling), they hang up. Twenty years ago, you could have an hour long conversation with the credit card people if you were bored...

Even with spam blockers in place, that sort of garbage is the bulk of the calls my phones get. At least for my personal phone, I live in a different area code from where the phone is (insert XKCD about your area code being where you lived in 2002), so anything that's my phone's area code and not in my contact list is clearly unwelcome.

Phone numbers just aren't a large space to randomly dial looking for valid numbers if you're on a scum VOIP gateway, and clearly the scammers and spammers already have lists of what might be worth calling.
Anybody manage to find a creator that has tipping enabled yet? Spent a bit looking and couldn't find anyone.
Now their positions are greatly reversed. But at the time of the copying in 2005, Oracle was many times Googles' size.

This case began in 2010 as Oracle attempting to smother a similarly sized competitor...after Oracle acquired the actual creators of Java.
I think your underlying premise (of the gp too) is flawed because it seems to imply that we need to contain people in order to save money. I don't think that is a reasonable standard for reworking our prison and penal systems.

You literally go from thread to thread posting the same pro-Rust anti-C drivel, derailing every thread.

Sorry to be crude, but can you people take this self-righteous bs elsewhere? Not every thread needs to be about the superiority of Rust or your gripes with C.

AMD secure memory encryption and secure encrypted virtualization. Intel probably has something in the works, but today you can take a GCE instance from a signed coreboot through bootloader and kernel with logged attestation at each phase resulting in a VM using per-VM disk encryption key (you have to provide it in the RPC that starts the machine; it's supposedly otherwise ephemeral) with SME encrypted RAM (again, ephemeral per-machine key). Google calls it Confidential VM and Secure Boot for now.
Can you elaborate on why it "is actually better to program in than Fortran"?
I have tried writing websites with rust instead of JavaScript. Unfortunately, the tooling is just not there. More specifically, I am talking about wasm-bindgen, which provides two-way bindings. The problem with it is that since all the declarations are generated with build.rs, there is no autocompletion. Since I am spoiled by modern tooling, no autocompletion to me means not feasible pass demo stage. (https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/issues/1489)

Aside from the lack of autocompletion, passing rust closures to js land (DOM) is extremely janky as well. However, that might be caused by my lack of experience with rust.

(If you are curious, this is what I made: https://github.com/SCLeoX/non-grid-path-finder)
The contention is whether you can accurately ascertain the experiences of any of the cohorts that you cite.

Each cohort literally represents millions of people (billions if including the world). This makes the cohorts meaningless.

And it's in the category of generalizations that we've been fighting. It's part of the problem, not the solution.
I suppose it's again that time of the year when there's a flood of articles trying to convince people that COBOL is worth learning, that it's been updated or that it pays really well, and that there are lots of hidden opportunities for you to make big money working with COBOL!

Those of us who actually worked with COBOL aren't fooled though. It bears repeating: COBOL is a horrible language and it's often used in legacy banking systems. Learn it at your own peril, especially when there are way more interesting languages and jobs out there.

I sure feels like summers in Phoenix are trying to kill you.

Yeah, a few minutes research and I can't say I really agree with your hypothesis. According to the CDC, 1999-2003 there were 3,442 deaths due to excessive heat with Arizona having 1.7 deaths per 100,000 people.

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5529a2.htm

So yes, Phoenix is trying to kill you, too. So there must be some other difference that causes social friendliness.
Reminds me of the time I was visiting South Carolina from Montreal. I was in a gas station waiting to pay when I overheard two guys talking in the thickest southern accents imaginable. I couldn't hear what they were saying and I chuckled to myself at how much they sounded like dumb hicks.

It was only when they got closer did I hear that they were talking about nuclear physics.

It was a good reminder about judging books by covers, etc.
Yes... the point I see you making is something like this:

Putting the 128-bit salt on there prevents a precomputed dictionary attack, a constant time operation.

But SHA1 itself is a constant time operation, so having a salt only slows down an attacker in a wall time sense, but not the more important time-complexity sense.

We all agree the salt is not particularly important for the constant time hash. (It's only practically important when the hash takes a lot of wall time relative to the wall time of a precomputed dictionary lookup, and constant time hashes gradually lose this edge due to Moore's Law.)

The point you see me making is that bcrypt is not a constant time operation (due to the variable-cost key schedule--2^cost, actually), and allowing people to use a constant time precomputed dictionary lookup by not having a large salt would make it as bad as no-salt SHA1.

So we all agree that the large salt is vitally important for the non-constant time bcrypt.

Not that either of these points are relevant to my initial assertion that giving the salt to an attacker is not something people worry about. The salt is there to prevent a precomputed dictionary attack, and a large salt does this no matter how well-known it is.
It’s surprising there isn’t some insurance product to defend against the surprise bills.
Disclaiming something doesn’t negate other actions. Everyone acknowledges there are things we can do as individuals to deal with the problem. Just because the original poster also acknowledges it doesn’t negate you claiming he is “part of the problem.” That is the essence of victim blaming, and that is what serves to normalize the aforementioned immoral behavior.
Can you describe your existing model? That would be very helpful in determining the viability of the opportunity.

Both are forms of juxtaposition, which carries meaning by itself. Logically, juxtaposition does not need to carry meaning, but to humans it does.

For instance, try comparing the next person you meet with a hyena. It's not likely to be taken as a neutral thought experiment.
Yeah, that would be absurd.

You are of course aware of the historic context for that line of reasoning and the comparisons to relatively recent history that it points to?

The ultimate consequence of which is that even defining war-crimes is pointless since there would be no way to legally present evidence.

They also consume considerably less energy, run cooler, and last longer. A single 100W lightbulb consumes more energy than running my entire computer. What we want hasn't got much to do with it. Continuing to use inefficient devices will result in a planet that no longer functions. Nobody wants that.
LED bulbs are much, much more expensive, don't live up to their advertised lifetime in my experience, cause problems when used with dimmers, produce more problematic waste...

Most importantly, the light is of vastly inferior quality. You will never match the beautiful spectrum of incandescent light with LED or fluorescent.

A few decades down the line we will be reflecting on how the LED cartel took us all to the cleaners
I recently read a book called Mindful Communication that uses a red/yellow/green light model for understanding the state of mind of the other person. In a discussion, there's a relationship; relationships are not fact-based, or in a vacuum. You have to take the immediate context as an input as well, to understand how receptive the other person is.

Or not. However, if the concern is to state facts, then it's not really a communication because it ignores the reception and betrays the actual intention of the fact-stater.
This may be true. But that doesn't mean the best strategy is to completely burn your reputation. Even if the only way to profit is to sell-out, it's usually better to sell-out slowly and collect much more sustainable revenue over a longer time frame.

There are a lot of equilibria where most free review sites are mostly, but not completely, trustworthy. With enough review sites in that model, an end-user can effectively triangulate the objective truth with arbitrarily high certainty.
Gosh, interventionism. So horrible.

TechShop in SOMA (San Francisco) has similar machinery and equipment, from the sound of it. http://techshop.ws/ A potential perk for SF-based startups could be access to shops like this.
