I find the taboo around discussing compensation to be a very interesting phenomenon. As a former CEO, I prefer to have the leeway to, for example, pay an individual who drives a hard bargain at hiring a little more without feeling the pressure to pay other people more. Then there's the flipside, which is that some people undervalue themselves, and who doesn't like getting a bargain. In this sense, secrecy around pay benefits employers.

As a member of a team, I also understand that pay differential is a potential source of tremendous discord. While everyone instinctively understands that some roles earn more than others, it's definitely better for that knowledge to be general rather than specific. I don't think that radical transparency about comp would promote good morale, in general. In this case, secrecy about pay is compatible with psychological well-being among employees.

However, I'll have to say that I agree with the regulators here. Its one thing for social decorum to dictate the secrecy. It's another for the company to have an official policy about it.
That's something different: a legal question. I have no knowledge of EU law.

This. I own a Sony NEX because I want something portable that can take good pictures. I don't care that much about a mediocre telephone, web browser, and GameBoy, unless it's nearly as good at photography.
This is one reason why prototyping is often so necessary. When you start from the user experience, you usually end up working your way back from the front-end: first you visualize what the user should see, then you mock up screens to give them that, then you figure out what they should be able to interact with and how, then you write code to make that happen, then you define data structures that make the code possible. When you start from data, you identify what data the user will need to manipulate, then you identify relationships between that data, then you write code to manipulate it, then you slap a UI in front, one which usually mimics the relationships you identified a priori.

There's a bit of an impedance mismatch here. Start from the UX, and you end up with a bunch of ad-hoc data structures that are very difficult to rationalize and inefficient to access. Start from the data, and you end up with a UI that mimics the data you were given and not how the user thinks about achieving their task.

The solution is to write a quick & dirty prototype focusing on UX, nailing it but focusing on only the happy-path that's core to the user experience. Then take careful note of the data structures that you ended up with, and throw away the prototype. Then you start with a carefully planned data architecture that captures everything you learned in the prototyping phase, but eliminates redundancies and awkward access paths that you wrote in the quick & dirty prototype.
If you think about it, death vs life in prison is pretty imbalanced. On one hand, you can either die immediately and escape from it all (that being the case), while on the other hand you're stuck in a cell for the rest of your life, living with your thoughts, away from the rest of society. Personally, if I had to choose, I would choose death, since it's quick and easy, and I won't have to suffer through my own thoughts on a day to day basis.
Vagrant works with parallels desktop (free plugin, requires parallels pro in v11+) and VMware fusion (with a paid plugin)
It does look bothersome, but if they moved the baseline down, then the 'q', 'g', and 'p' would be the problematic ones (they already look "too low" out of context with the rest, even shifted up).
Or agile enough. Most of the the time, when business processes are a mess, it comes from learning from their customers and being relentlessly customer-focused.

About this:

"Though a jury is a good idea and the best we've got, the process they run through seems ripe for reform."

How do you justify the statement that a jury is the best idea that we have? Germany has the concept of Schöffe, and some believe this offers results that stick closer to the law than the jury system:

http://www.britannica.com/topic/Schoffe

While any government of mortal human flesh must inevitably have some flaws, the jury system seems especially bad at overcoming popular prejudice. In the USA, "a jury of one's peers" has often meant a mostly white (or all white) jury judging a black person, a circumstance that has given the USA many hundreds of famous miscarriages of justice.

The system that grew out of English Common Law, and which dominates England, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand, is not the only system known to liberal Western societies. The English system is unique in the authority it gives to juries. Most of the Continental judicial systems either lack juries or have juries whose goal is constrained relative to the English system.

A review of the legal traditions in liberal Western nations reveals a lot of good ideas, many of which are probably superior to the jury system.
MAME Emulator Shown Running Well on New Apple TV
Sure, you can block all of these URLS. This means you block jQuery, all other Javascript, all CSS, all images, the user-clickable URLs on the page, etc.

The point was that all URLs get encrypted/replaced at the proxy. If you load the page and block all of them, you get not only a page that doesn't work, you also lose access to all other pages on the site.

This is an extremely rude way to run a website; it completely betrays your contempt for and mistrust of the client. Given that quite a few websites already demonstrate this with their malicious and purposfully-misleading ads, I expect they won't think twice about capturing all URLs with a proxy (or similar technique).

Incidentally, this type of method could be extended very easily to prevent all deep linking. Also note that this isn't theoretical. I saw this done in... 1998/1999. It had problems and was expensive to run on the server, but I suspect Moore's law has easily had enough time to solve that problem.
Re-reading this a couple hours later, I agree. I responded to needless negativity with more needless negativity. Guess my IRC habits have been leaking into my other hobbies. I'd edit it, but it's been too long since it was posted.

FWIW its how your original post comes off. It may not be an accurate representation of your beliefs or intentions, but it is a reasonable interpretation of your words: "Seems like someone in NASA needs to work out this conflict."

I'm not quite sure what your point is.

You say that the only use of react is the virtual DOM, so is it just that React is a poor choice as a template engine? I'm not personally convinced, but that's a bit of personal preference I suppose. The modularization and composability of components is definitely nice, and not all template engines do this well. I could certainly see how you may disagree with me though.

Is it that they aren't doing anything revolutionary? That's certainly true. It's relatively trivial to make a static site generator that uses React, and there's plenty of static site generators out there that use other engines. I think using webpack to bundle everything up is pretty nice though.

Either way, my point wasn't that this project is particularly amazing, or useful, just that it works with JavaScript disabled.
The NSA intercepts shipments to specific targets, not all devices manufactured. Wouldn't want to risk a security researcher getting access to the compromised version.
I honestly think the only thing that could ever change it is if some vigilante with nothing to lose started bringing the same flavor of extreme justice to the doorsteps of the people passing it out - fear of potential ramifications will very quickly change behavior.
That's a cold calculation. It's also worth noting that in many cases these extremely expensive drug regimens replace invasive surgical procedures of dubious merit that were just as expensive. Part of the problem is that sometimes Medicaid covers expensive surgeries more readily than it covers expensive drugs. Our entire health care system is unprepared for expensive drug therapies, even as they long ago became comfortable with expensive surgeries.
There are many cheaper sources of oil right now. Drillers will be back in future decades, but right now, it's not worth it.

Saudi thinking on the future of oil is interesting. They're worried about solar, wind, natural gas, electric cars, and US oil reducing demand for their product. And at some point, they'll run out. When a middle-east oil autocracy runs out of oil, Government leaders are usually killed. Egypt and Syria peaked in the mid-1990s, and look what happened. Saudi Arabia claims to be a long way from that point, but it's hard to tell.
I don't always agree with the content / viewpoints that Vice puts out, but this was one of the most well made and powerful documentaries I've seen in a while. I'd like to think that President Obama's reactions were genuine and that things might slowly start to change in the US.

You're right on the money. So are the other things you said elsewhere in this conversation. Picked up some downvotes, did you? Not surprising, the concept of personal responsibility is most definitely unpopular.

AirBnB is not a hotel, and anyone who treats it that way is going to have a bad time. A hotel is an institution with enough resources and redundancy that multiple members of it staff could literally die and customers wouldn't even notice.

AirBnB != the host AirBnB has introduced you to. The host is just some guy. AirBnB support is not in any way, shape, or form the same concept as taking up your problem with the manager at a hotel.

And yet, so many people expect AirBnB to resolve problems just like that.
Whatever an advertiser thinks my eyeballs are worth to them, they're worth more to me. They're going to have to do better than subsidising the cost of my device.
I agree with the other people in this thread who have said it's expensive and with low prices, not necessarily worth it.

That being said, it's worth noting that Shell's exploration was offshore, in the Arctic Ocean, though the majority of current Alaskan production is onshore (or barely offshore) in Prudhoe Bay and the vicinity, mostly by BP with some collaboration with Exxon and Chevron. Onshore production is, all else equal, much less expensive because it's a lot easier. This is even more true in the Arctic where seasonal sea ice might make it impossible to set up a multiyear drilling platform like in the Gulf of Mexico, and drilling might have to be from ships instead of big floating rigs.

As far as I know, this won't impact North Slope (e.g. Prudhoe Bay or ANWR) production.

Technically first class functions means functions can be treated like objects and passed around like any object (for example, python).

That said, I agree with you that Java does not have first class functions. They have something tacked on that is nowhere as elegant and lacks full support.

On the other hand, not every language that lets you define functions outside of classes lets you treat them like objects. C for example is generally not considered a language with true first class functions because it doesn't allow passing nested ones without additional support within the chosen complier.
It's not about the download speed. Many people in China use Baidu to find how to get and install (pirated) windows. If the official Windows 10 appears at the first one of the search results, Microsoft will be very happy.
An Edo-Era Japanese World Map
You're absolutely right on all of this. Your comment summarizes what I learned after this experience. I was much younger then, and didn't understand that last point in particular. Was I stuck in groups where we had outright slugs? Of course I was, and that happens in a non-professional environment like school. There were some things I could have done then that I understand now. I did everything I knew to do at the time.
So no evidence at all this is more than an lcd in a box?
I can't believe companies are still asking questions like this. The clever slacker will know exactly how to answer the Psyc. 101 questions? Maybe that's why we have so many people who shouldn't have got that middle/upper management on their unseen talents?

I really don't understand this problem in hiring. Yea--go off that, usually padded resume, padded Likedin, etc., but just test the candidate. You can test them on the job, or a supervised written/computer test? You can then keep them, or fire them? Of course tell the employee this position is provisional.

Hiring shouldn't be a popularity contest? And some of the best minds I have been around, really didn't like working in big groups. I've never seen an organization that didn't split into small groups of people after all the big promises of team playing. These small groups are sometimes a popularity contest though--So, what do I know?

As to HR personnel, why are they seemly always irritating/hubristic people? I can't figure out if it's the job that turns them into people I don't want to be around, or certain personality types are drawn to that position?

While I'm at it, enough with requiring a picture? I understand if the job requires a security clearance, but even then I think it's an invasion of privacy, and used for the wrong reasons.

The better jobs I had required a test as 1/2 of the hiring process. The other 1/2 was the oral interview. The interview had at Least five people overhearing my answers.
I really thought this was a fair way to hire.

(On another note, I had a detective put a note on my table, in my yard, with a number to call. Yea, some slimy PI was in my yard? I think I have a neighbor who's applying to some government security position?

I didn't call the number, but I think I know the neighbor. He just moved in, and I don't know where he got his money, nor care to. He has a lot of disposable income, and doesn't something doesn't add up. He, and his friends smoke a lot of weed, and he seems paranoid. Personally, I thought he was a drug dealer, and I don't care, as long as he stays away from me.

Would I hire this guy--no, but I don't know him. It's all speculation on my part? I would never call that number, unless I saw him building a "you know what". I have a bunch of nosey neighbors, who seem to live to point out neighborhood infractions, or eye sores. I hate that eye sore phrase. I always want to tell the person spewing that observation; look in the mirror? Well, I imagine most of my neighbors gleefully called this number and gave their 2 cents to this PI, and I imagine everything was speculated?

If this is how security clearances are performed --it's sad.

The main reason I like where I live is because I don't want to know my neighbors? They all seem to have too much money, and complain about stuff I don't think is important. I have nothing in common with them, and don't want to know them. Is that wrong?)

Again off track, but I would like to see a simplified/fair way of hiring.
So maybe 4% of people who get the death penalty are innocent. And some other portion probably don't deserve the death penalty according to the criteria we've established. So we get rid of it, and then what? They all get life without parole? How much better is that? And what about all the innocent people who are receiving that punishment right now? Or who are losing 5 or 10 years of their life? Getting justice right is tremendously important. The death penalty is something people can line up around without truly engaging with the justice system at all. It feels like a huge distraction to me.

We use the phrase "paying your debt to society" but no one pays any debts. They only incur debts. Debts to their family who they can't support. Debts to a society that ends up weaker than it started. The cruelty of this system isn't best exemplified in the death penalty.

We're working on an open-source CMS for static site generators at netlify. It's still in beta, but we just opened up the repo here:

https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms

Since netlify can already run the build of a static site whenever there's a push to git, all the CMS needs to do is manage the content in the Git repository in a user friendly way.

There's absolutely no reason non-technical users shouldn't be able to content just because the end result is not using a database...
If Richard Glossip wasn't sentenced to death, he would likely have languished in prison as long as he lived. That would also be a horrible injustice.

People see more motivated by orders of magnitude to get death penalty cases right relative to life incarceration cases.

Counterintuitively, justice may be better served by abolishing life imprisonment and mandating the death penalty for cases where periods of imprisonment would exceed 20 years or so.

If the innocence rate for executions is 4%, then surely the innocence rate for long term incarceration must be much higher.
You mean like an in-house metal server? Well because I need to adjust resources on the fly sometimes, or experiment with different configurations, or test upgrades on my own.

That's why you use a virtual machine.

If you're wondering why to use a scripted provisioning system, it's to have that code under version control and shared between developers.
I'm also interested in this. Seems like a very easy way to phish for credentials.
This old trope about "no new drugs" is silly. Most drug companies spend more on marketing than R&D.

Add to that, profit margins are insane - they are the highest in almost any business, equal to that of banks. [0] Pfizer saw a 42% profit margin in 2013.

This industry is insanely profitable, despite spending a ton on R&D, and more on marketing. Multi-billion dollar fines are just part of doing business.

Nature abhors a vacuum, especially such a profitable one. There's no shortage of companies willing to make that margin on billions in revenue.

Drugs are vastly overpriced, and the old line about how it's necessary to recover costs (along with long, exclusive patent rights) is false.

Yup, classic rookie mistake. My revised answer is still honest. I do enjoy working with other people. Also, I need to work with other people to improve my skills. But I am also comfortable going off on my own for a while and working on something. My current job (flight test instrumentation) is an even mixture of both solo work and team work. The older, more experienced me knows now that I need both types of work.

Criminal sentences have their own flavor of inflation that seems rarely studied.
Electric cars still cost energy (i.e. coal and associated emissions) and private vehicle ownership costs space. If space is at a premium, then your parking space makes the city a little less livable for everyone else. If your power source isn't wind, solar, or nuclear, your emissions are just a few miles outside the city instead of in your tailpipe.
That's a good litmus test.

What has frustrated me most is the lack of repercussions to hosts who behave badly. For instance, as a guest, if I were to cancel my $2k trip 48 hours before arrival, I would still have to pay for it. I had a host do exactly that - cancel a $2k trip that had been booked for months, 48 hours before I got off the plane with a backpack and no place to go. The host saw minimal fallout - basically they were not allowed to rent those dates out to someone else.

We were literally unable to find another place in this small-ish town to stay so we had to change flights to a different city last minute. Not cheap. If hosts had similar financial commitments to guests, I suspect that would eliminate a whole swath of terrible hosts, mostly in your second (cheap hotel) category.

I don't imagine targeting any random user is particularly efficient, but when you are dealing with multi million user databases, finding close to a thousand people who share a first or last name probably isn't hard. They don't even have to address it to a person, simply provide some details (details vary based on database). Think "How was you recent trip to Hawaii? Click here for winter deals!"
>Except that's the point of the OP's comment.

I don't think that that's his point -- I see this as orthogonal to whether there is a standard or not.

The reason those don't have a standard is merely because they are so simple they don't need a full document to describe them.

And I don't see a clash between a "goverment mandate" and "design", since in this case the government mandate is exactly a design, that is, the work and output of a set of designers working for the government.

It's not like some random bureucrat that knows nothing about the web created the standard.

The issue really comes down to society still thinking introversion is a bad thing. You are often perceived to be shy and quiet or antisocial.

Most introverts are neither of these, yet the labels persist and introversion like being left-handed was in the past is currently seen as something to be fixed.

If that person is being investigated for a clearance, they won't have some slimy PI. They'll have someone from a known government agency (in my experience, either FBI or the Federal Investigative Service (FIS)) asking questions, and the questions are usually like, "Do you know of any reasons why the subject should not be considered for a position of trust/position of national security importance?"
I won't ever hire anyone who has this company on their resume.
Consider that the behavior that is changed is that of everybody but the prosecutor: taxes go to personal security and maybe their staff, increased controls and inconveniences for those sharing space with them, like at the courthouse, and increased penalties for behavior not previously considered to be threatening. That is, the person acting with nothing to lose, "at all costs," may be misunderestimating where those costs will be borne.
