> I use a free operating system (Linux, currently Slackware) because I take property rights seriously.

That's weird. Physical property rights are very different to Intellectual Property Rights (copyright, patent, trademark).

IPR can lead you to absurd conclusions: I own a DVD, and copy data to it, and the data is under copyright, the DVD now belongs to 2 different parties ?!

Or, if I develop a widget, and manufacture it, it can somehow violate a patent and I now owe them large sums of money... or the patent holder can use the customers that purchased them?!

Or I grow crops on my field using seed stock form our family. And Monsanto patented plants' spores cross-pollinate into your field. Now, you either are required to destroy your seed stock because of genetic pollution, buy Monsanto seed, or lose your farm. Yet again, IPR removes rights from property holders.

So yes, you may take property rights seriously. But IPR leads to insane conclusions and absurd reasoning. IPR exists to take physical property rights away from you.

My Windows machine is for gaming only and I have no interest in Windows 10 cloud integration and data collection, much of which cannot be disabled or blocked.

I made the switch from Windows 7 a few days after release and I'm learning more and more about what is going on under the hood of Windows 10 that is making me seriously consider going back to Windows 7.

Windows 7 had reporting and telemetry, but not even in the same league as what is happening in Windows 10.

I think most of it is actually obvious. Healthy foods: vegetables, fruits, fish, non processed meat. Unhealthy foods: candy, soda, deserts, alcohol, lots of butter, ... .

The biggest issue for most people is not that they don't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods. The problem is to eat the healty foods and stay away from the unhealty ones, which is quite a challenge.

> If Amazon matched employee retirement contributions in cash, a new employee earning $80,000 a year would get a maximum company contribution of $1,600.

Wow, and I thought IBM was stingy. They at least matched 100% up to 6% (of course, you forfeit all that if you aren't employed on December 15th of that year).
If a 2008-style credit crunch takes out the likes of AGI in the next few weeks, causing rippling effects to spread throughout the economy in ways that no one understands... then we've reached a 2008 level crisis.

We don't have record numbers of people flocking to mobile homes as their subprime mortages jack up the rest of the economy.

Your article is crap because it ignores everything that was bad about 2008. Record layoffs, hundreds of thousands of people losing their homes and jobs. Major manufacturers (the _entirety_ of the "big three" car companies) almost went bankrupt.

Financial controls are arguably in a worse state than they were in 2008. But beyond that, the core economy is doing much better than back then. Furthermore, financial controls in 2007 prevented us from seeing any issues. The subprime mortgages getting wrapped up in CDOs and all that stuff was occurring in a non-regulated "shadow economy" manner.

Is there a shadow economy that is about to crash today? I don't think so. But that was the conditions of 2007/2008 financial crisis.

>But I also do not approve on taking action that would result in folks I do not know getting exposed. Folks have a right to their own lives.

Do they? Say this was some tor service that was leaked with users engaging in what you would consider far more immoral activity. Would you feel the same way?

Now, maybe you would. But for most I've spoken to about this hack, they would feel different. For them, they 'right to their own lives' only exists as long as they aren't doing something too immoral. The difference between them and I is not based on if we believe they have a right to privacy with their business... we both do believe there is a limited right. We merely disagree on where the limits are.

For comparison, this isn't the difference between someone who believes in freedom of speech and someone who doesn't, but between two people who both believe in limited freedom of speech trying to decide if some individual case is bad enough to censor or not.

Not to mention only having to charge one device (laptop) instead of two devices (keyboard, iPad), and not having to deal with any bluetooth connectivity issues with the keyboard.

My experience as a teacher, first in a school with iPads and now in a school with laptops, as that iPads are generally viewed as toys and laptops are generally viewed as work tools. I would never recommend that any middle school or high school buy iPads.

Having said that, I would love to hear about any notably positive experiences other teachers here have had with either iPads or laptops in class (email in profile).

A key point here is that surveying the job market before embarking on your degree is not sufficient: there's a four year lag. The guy with the master's in town planning is an obvious victim of this.

A more subtle point is that the more specific the degree is the more vulnerable it is to obsolescence or changing market conditions.

People keep saying "we need more STEM graduates", but without being more specific about exactly what degrees people should do it's just going to result in more of this kind of problem.
The problem is that ad-based revenue has an incentive to:

Seems like the title should be "upgrading to Windows 7".
Yes, registers and the belt are just ISA features. Register renaming is a behind the scenes implementation tech to mitigate the problems of register semantics. It has unwanted costs that a belt machine doesn't have to pay, and it's incorrect to say that Mill does register renaming in the traditional sense of the word.

Indeed that's what the #1 paragraph at https://millcomputing.com/docs/belt/ says: "A large fraction of the power budget of modern superscalar CPUs is devoted to renaming registers: the CPU must track the dataflow of the executing program, assign physical registers and map them to the logical registers of the program, schedule operations when arguments are available, restore visible state in the event of an exception—all while avoiding register update hazards."

Practical Microservice Architecture and Implementation Considerations
Being US-based helps. Also, I would reply to postings asking for more clarification on an item. This does two things. First, it shows that you understand the work better than the client. Second, it gets the client comfortable talking to you.

I feel you - I had a fair amount of anxiety around this and worked/ practiced to get better. That said it is not always possible to do so - everyone is different. I became a promiscuous interviewee for a while. Learned strategies for reducing my own anxiety. It might be possible for you as well.

I would be very upfront about this in the process. The github work is crucial. Also if you are amenable to it ask for a task based interview process. Since you are comfortable on github make that the arena fro the interview.

One thing in your favor is that it seems to be a candidate's market (at least in NYC) - if you are reasonable you can dictate terms. This would not turn me off an applicant.

Contact companies directly and be honest. I am not sure if recruiters will know how to help you - good luck and feel free to dm me if I could assist in any way. Its hard to deal with this.

> How is it fair that the markets get put on pause if they're failing? I really don't understand.

The "circuit breaker" was put in place in response to the 1987 "Black Friday" event. It was the early days of automated trading, and computers got the lion's share of the blame. The "circuit breaker" is intended to shut down machines that can drive the market downward faster than people can react. It also shuts out people making panic decisions without thinking at all.

Basically, everyone gets a "time out".
Now extend the timeline 100 years into the past, it will look a lot more encouraging. Or a 1000 years, it will look positively sunny.
I am a part of the polyamorous (not totally distinct, but not the same as polygamy) culture, and I think it is slowly gaining some momentum. I'm not convinced it will ever see mainstream acceptance (who knows, LGBTQ+ people somewhat enjoy that now), but I think that it's a valid way to live life and enjoy romance and relationships. I have been with my current partner for 2 years, and we have both dated other people simultaneously. Many people don't believe that jealousy isn't an issue, but to be honest, for some people it's not an issue at all, and for others, trusting your partner is much stronger than worrying about what "could happen."

Then, when it comes to stuff like this, it's not even an issue. My partner wants to hook up with somebody else? Totally, go for it, enjoy yourself. Find love in others as well. It's not that scary, and I have no fear of ever being cheated on.
nope why?

It's like writing an article about a guy falling out of a plane and how he's going to go splat when he hits the ground, and by the time you hit "publish" the guy has already opened his parachute and landed safely. It's great that he survived but the article is bad!

I generally think, if you feel off and can't figure out why, the first thing you should check is your water intake. A lot of people live with mild dehydration and don't know it. I know I did for a very long time. It's amazing the difference in how I feel when I'm drinking "enough" water and when I don't. There is always the possibility it could be something else, but check the water first.

I basically just fill up a 64oz beer growler with water in the morning and make sure I get through it by some point in the day. That's enough to get me feeling great and not like I just want to stay in bed all the time.

A lot of people confuse 'extrovert' with 'confident' and 'introvert' with 'insecure'

I've met some very, very insecure extroverts. They'll crack jokes all day and make a lot of noise, then go home and are desperate for company to distract themselves from their own ideas. Met some very confident extroverts, too.

Also met some insecure introverts, people who had social anxiety. Also met some very confident introverts who will go out, shake hands and converse, then spend hours alone going over what they learned while they were out.
I can't help but think the pricing methodology on this site might be a bit off. I put uw.com in to check it because I know some of the history of that site. It said the site is worth less than $9.00!?

uw.com was originally owned by a company called Underware. Their biggest product was a defect tracking tool called TrackRecord. They were bought by Compuware in the 90s, and in early 2000 or 2001, Compuware forgot to renew the domain and it was bought out from under them. Last I checked, two letter .com domains were pretty rare and valuable.

Useful info: Microsoft pushed their telemetry services to Windows 7 and 8.1 via an update last week. Downgrading may not really help you here.
Linux is free as in speech, not free as in beer. You're free to use, copy, modify and distribute it subject to its license. It's not about price and never has been.
Deactivating the services that call home doesn't stop Windows 10 from calling home. You can only completely disable "telemetry" if you have Windows 10 Enterprise Edition and even then I'm not entirely sure it does completely shut down.

And anyway, even getting to this meant manually ticking out dozens of boxes in several settings windows and installing a packet sniffer to check your own computer for unwanted connections. Nevermind that running a packet sniffer on your outgoing connections usually means you suspect you have a virus (which is what Win10 is?), it requires technical expertise that 95% of Win10 users won't have.

No I don't think GP was driven by hatred of Microsoft, as much as a genuine dislike of an operating system which hands over control of your own computer to someone else. I always thought Stallman was being hyperbolic when he said "with free software the users control the computer, with proprietary the computer controls the users", but I don't anymore.
A few factors that were extremely evident from 6+ months ago:

1. US stock market is massively overvalued due to being propped up by QE for years

2. China's growth rate is largely fabricated

3. Russia's oil economy is finished as a result of sanctions

4. European troubles with Greece are undermining confidence in the EU

5. Japan's economy is weak due to demographic slide

6. Nigeria's growth is weakened due to instability

7. Consumer demand in the US and much of Europe is weak due to poor wages and high real unemployment

8. US stocks are being pumped as much as possible by hollowing out companies for short term gains, handicapping their long term capacity to keep providing gains

The actual date was picked "7 years-ish after the last financial meltdown" because sometimes these things follow roughly 7 year cycles.

Huge might be an exaggeration, but Canada is in a lot of trouble.

1) Six of the last seven months have seen economic contraction. There's no reason to think that's going to get better soon, given what's happening to the global economy, China and commodities. Oil has continued to get cheaper, commodities have continued to go down, and China's economy is getting sicker.

2) Canada's real estate bubble will be popped by the recession. That'll make the damage a lot worse. The constantly rising housing market was contributing temporary, artificial growth to the economy for the past decade.

This is going to be a drawn-out downturn. China is going to have an extremely difficult ten plus years due to their debt burdens, and the fact that all the easy growth ended years ago. The historic cheap dollar years from 2002-2014 are not likely to return, the high dollar will continue to put pressure on commodities, and countries dependent on commodities. Canada won't grow again unless the dollar drops, or the global economy booms, either of which would send commodities higher.
