> "Imagine how nerve-racking — terrifying, even — tweeting would be if it was immutable and irrevocable?"

Yes, it would be like these ... um ... thingies that Twits never heard of like, oh, e-mail and Usenet.

And older thingies like writing letters. And, for example, having a "letter to the editor" published in a newspaper, which is then archived in a library.

Publishing should be nerve-wracking and terrifying.

You know, you can still buy calendars filled with George W. Bush gaffes. Should those be cease-and-desisted?
What stops the sites from just creating another API key (and call it something obfuscated if they were using something obvious before).

I got my current (awesome) job through a recruiter. I never paid attention to them, except this recruiter:

* was direct and forthcoming with the kind of work, the stage and culture of the company;
* knew exactly what kind of work I did;
* understood the field and could answer my questions.

None of the blanket "Oh hi, are you interested in position <has nothing to do with my line of work." crap. One cold call stating directly the kind of work which was actually relevant to me, said exactly what the position was and the relevant details.
I think of it as "hockey-stick difficulty". You need to start super easy so you know you're set up correctly, and then you can ramp as hard as you can to launch.

Works really well with systems built from many simple parts, too. Learn the bag of small pieces (linear) then jump in and go crazy with the combinations (exponential).
Its actually the reply handler provided within Hapi, which lets you reply to the request.

For error handling, instructive messages and private messages we use the reply handler to push messages back to the user in the slack channel, visible only to them. Its super handy to cut down on "noise" in the channel but you do lose the rich formatting options in messages.

If the request is coming from the #general channel then that would work, alternatively you would have to build up a separate request using superagent or something
Well, most press about things I have direct experience with is either outright wrong or extremely misleading, so how can I trust the press on things I don't have direct experience with? I'm not sure doubting every article ever published by any newspaper is such a bad idea.

I'll take my own experience working at Amazon for 2 years and knowing dozens of hundreds of Amazon employees over blind faith in the Times's editors.
Yet, the fact that Google collects data with Play framework, is not an excuse for Microsoft doing the same, where they historically didn't do it.

Diet and exercise are great for prevention but not so great for cures.

If you want to avoid getting cancer, then leading a healthy lifestyle is an excellent idea.

If you actually have cancer, whether because you don't lead a healthy lifestyle or you did but just got unlucky anyway, then it's too late for diet and exercise. They might still help, but what you need at this point is treatment.

Pharmaceutical companies may not do prevention so well, but this article is about what happens after prevention fails, at which point you need cures, and every pharma company out there is trying to be the next one to produce a big (and probably expensive) cure.
At which point in the process do they ask for a SSN? In the first call? I can't even imagine what the SSN is useful for in this case.

No, it's not easier, it's what the majority of people want from their doctors. They don't want to work to be healthy.

This is by far the number one complaint from doctors about patients: they only want drugs, not health.

I've found this a helpful way of explaining ranges in Python to students, it also makes Python's negative indices understandable for the same reason.

But it is contextual. When it comes to languages like C, where arrays are more directly mapped to pointers and memory layout, I've found it better to talk about pointers, and allow people to derive the behavior that way.

Either way, I'd be careful of trying to claim that 'this is what it is', rather than 'here is a way to remember it'.
I believe Steve Jobs was actually an introvert as well.

"People from his childhood recalls that he was usually distant from the crowd and discussed philosophical issues with his close friends. Later on he became a Buddhist and practiced meditation, which is a deciding factor in my opinion.
The fact the he was a good salesman doesn't necessarily suggest his extroversion."
Which are both a lot less interesting than Twitter.
Yes, I know.

I was trying to point out, that even when you disable everything using the provided controls, the OS still doesn't respect your choice.

Be careful regarding the searchui.exe firewall rule. It names specific assembly version - one silent update (is there any other in win10?) and your rule is invalid, instead a new rule that is enabled is suddenly in effect.
And they would isolate the effective compounds making a more effective hybrid, claim IP and make a ton of money.
We need more and better warning options, and more of them to be enabled by default (use -Wall -Wextra -Werror, please!). I have nothing against PVS-Studio but I think promoting static analyzers will actually do more harm than good in the long run. Static analyzers are just compiler warnings that you have to pay for and then forget to run.

Ugh, my girlfriend believes all this crap and to conciliate her I read a book on naturopathic medicine. It was a load of garbage. Who knows, the conclusions in the book may have been correct, however the author just made unfounded assertion after unfounded assertion.

I had this problem for years. And then I picked an open source project that uses the same language and tools and started contributing to it. I made some great friends and the mailing list was always live with discussion that was often much broader than the thing we were building. Over the years we also met live on a couple of conferences, had drings/dinners together and it really helped me fill the void of working alone on commercial side.

Wow, what a short-sighted and ill-conceived move on Twitter's part. I know the answer but I still have to ask- has Twitter used the internet before? Don't they know how it works?

The first thing many people do when they see a controversial tweet (especially from someone well known) is to take a screenshot. This changes nothing.
Dave Fecak, http://www.fecak.com/ and @fecak on here. Although he's never placed me (I'm on the west coast, and he really only recruits for NYC/Philly), he's volunteered his time to help me with some resume issues I've had. I'd contact him again in a heartbeat if I was looking in his backyard.

If they wanted to create a general "politician public statement archive" that included deleted tweets, I think that would be acceptable.

Where they cross the line is in only doing deleted tweets, and marketing themselves that way. The entire purpose of their product is to undo a feature of someone else's product.

This story is being framed a certain way: "Twitter is a big corporation attacking the little guy in defense of evil politicians," and kids on Reddit are outraged. I don't think that's what's happening here at all. They're just defending the integrity of their product.

Pardon my ignorance, but why will the : "existing holdings will return to their yesterday prices at some point" ? The way you put it seems so inevitable (although "at some point" may be 100 years from now). So, as you're not the only one to say that, I'd like to know what makes you think that the holdings will get back to their previous level ? Because, if they increase from their current position, then you certainly imply that they will increase indefinitely, which in turns mean (because you didn't frame that), that putting money on stock exchanges is always a good move, because holdings value increase...
Or that they finally fund a project that could replace windows
Fun fact: The public health insurance in Germany pays for prescribed homeopathic "meds". So by paying my insurance contributions I indirectly support that esoteric nonsense.

Also Tylenol (which is called Paracetamol here) is available over the counter. But only in pharmacies. Just like every other pain medication (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc) which you can buy in other countries - even in the EU - in super markets. Germany is a "little" over regulated here.
I really think what they should do is look at all the instances where an A-10 was damaged and returned to base, and seriously ask whether an F-35 would survive that kind of damage.
Memory addresses are exactly analogous to array indices, and suffer from exactly the same semantics issues. After all, low-level memory is just an array of bytes.

We do have a convention that dereferencing a memory address returns the 8 bits to the right of that address. We've even optimized our hardware for that convention. But that's just a convention of the dereference operation; it's not fundamental to the addresses themselves.

I agree that a C pointer isn't analogous to an array index; that's because a pointer is a range, determined by a pair of memory addresses. One, stored at runtime, refers to the location before the first byte of the range. The other, implicitly derived from the runtime value and the size information in the pointer type, refers to the location after the last byte of the range. When we think of memory addresses as the article's indexes, and pointers as the article's ranges, everything falls into place.

(Incidentally, please be careful calling out people for not understanding computers. C isn't actually the lowest level of computing, and pointers aren't as primitive as your post implies. When you call someone out, you need to be 100% clear and 100% right.)
And I suspect it will change over time. The newer generation has much, much higher computer literacy.

Programming (Python and SQL) is required in the University I attend for any stream beyond a basic language degree. R is required for stats.

My mother is a business analyst, she uses Excel. Needs to find the IT guy to do anything with a database. Building a database and doing complex queries was an assignment in a required introductory course I took as a freshman. She thinks pivot tables are black magic and prides herself on knowing how to make them. We did pivot tables in two 50-minute classes.

I don't doubt your experience at all. But I do think Excel's stranglehold is/will weaken - it's clunky, and newer generations are learning programming even in non-CPSC streams.

A better question would be what would stop a site from creating hundreds of Twitter accounts and doing some good old scraping.

I don't believe there's a single recruiter that's a good fit for anyone / everyone. If you form a good relationship with a well-connected recruiter they can definitely be an invaluable resource for you that help you get interviews that are outside of your network. It's also worth noting that, like most relationships, it something that is fostered over time, not just when you are job hunting.

Quality recruiters are very in-the-know as to who is hiring, what the going salaries are and are able to help you back-channel and get the scoop on people and companies.

> Broad claims about human psychology and behavior based on narrow samples from Western societies are regularly published. Are such species‐generalizing claims justified? This review suggests not only substantial variability in experimental results across populations in basic domains, but that standard subjects are unusual compared with the rest of the species— outliers. The domains reviewed include visual perception, fairness, spatial reasoning, moral reasoning, thinking‐styles, and self ‐ concepts. This suggests (1) caution in addressing questions of human nature from this slice of humanity, and (2) that understanding human psychology will require broader subject pools. We close by proposing ways to address these challenges.

I haven't read the story or followed it all.

But I create API key for site: xyz.com where I use the stream API to get all tweets from users a-z

Then I push those to site zyx.com

There is no way for twitter to know what API generated those tweets. Especially if site xyz.com DOES obey the delete notifications (which also triggers site zyx.com to go into action in checking the deleted tweet)

I don't see how this is a total non-story

Can attest. Used Linux as primary OS for last 2-3 years in college, then got a job doing development on Linux, then worked for a Linux startup in early 2000's (we hired a couple ex Loki employees). Linux on the desktop has been a roller-coaster movement since not long after it's inception, likely around the time KDE and Gnome were released with some level of maturity. There was always the ported desktop managers but I don't think it's had much viability for dominance until OpenOffice came along.
I had a good experience with my recruiter. She was independent and was good friends with most of the HR managers at tech companies around the city. She told me the exact questions that each company would ask and told me who would be interviewing me and how to handle myself around them. I felt very confident going into interviews because of her. I had two follow up meetings with her at 2 and 6 months, which was just a 10 min coffee date to see if everything was cool (it was).
The heart of that case is the cease & desist letter being treated as denying authorization.

On another note, I wonder how strongly this would hold up against an individual. e.g. suing someone that was permbanned from your site because they used a proxy to access the site

Beyond being difficult to find/sue the individual - and it being well beyond worth the costs of the lawsuit itself - I wonder if it would hold up in court.

It’s Time to Legalize Polygamy
>Esoteric thinking and homeopathic medicine are extremely common in educated and high income circles outside of STEM fields - basically the middle class loves this.

Yes. Also very (very) popular with teachers. When I remember back I had dozens of teachers telling me (us) that alternative medicine is often better than conventional.

It's funny how many educated (university degree) and seemingly intelligent people I know who have that one idiotic quirk when it comes to medicine. Once that topic comes up they turn off their brain and get their tinfoil hats ready to tell me about the truth.

It's like that fluoride conspiracy crap in the US - only that it's very popular here through all social classes.
> I suspect if they liberalized their laws then people would just buy Tylenol or whatever and not some herbal remedy

I'm all for liberalizing drug laws in Germany, but just for completeness' sake:

Tylenol is a brand name for Paracetamol which is readily available over the counter without prescription in Germany, as is Ibuprofen (Advil), ASA (Aspirin), as well as other anti-inflammatories and analgesics. I believe a case could be made that on the heavier end of pain relief Metamizole (Novalgin) should also be transitioned to a prescription-free status, but there has been a widespread panic about its side effects at some point.

Also, a distinction should be made between herbal remedies which actually produce some effect, such as valerian or volatile oils, and pure woo such as homeopathic preparations.

The reason why supernatural "medicine" is so successful in Germany lies in the fact that "alternative practicioner" is considered an actual profession with deep ideological and historic roots in the country. Susceptible is pretty much anyone who strives to use only "natural" resources for living because they lack the scientific understanding to know that all substances are chemicals (a bad word in Germany), and they often don't have any capacity to even recognize the "alternative" treatment options are in fact based on magical thinking.
Brings to mind the following Ode from Horace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace):

Exegi monumentum aere perennnius
regalique situ pyramidum altius,
quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens
possit diruere aut innumerabilis
annorum series et fuga temporum.
...

(I have finished a monument more lasting than bronze
and higher than the royal structure of the pyramids,
which neither the destructive rain, nor wild Aquilo
is able to destroy, nor the countless
series of years and flight of ages.)
...

Full of himself, yes, but a good summary up the durability of a beautiful thing ("A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:/
Its loveliness increases;/ it will never
Pass into nothingness;" from Keats' Endymion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endymion_(poem)). Horace was talking about poetry, of course, but I think same applies to these statues.

In the case of water, I don't know of anybody who has ever advocated drinking very small amounts of water; the dispute is over how much is enough. It's just a tricky bar to set. Not because we disagree on the benefits of good hydration, but because daily water needs are extremely variable and the color of your urine is about the only practical way to measure hydration.

It's also both simple & valuable to hydrate. At least for me, nothing has made a bigger difference in my condition.
