Bujać - to my, panowie szlachta...

O, my untutored simple friend,
mate from this land, or other land!
Know that the bells for these alarums
kings strike, with girls with ample charms,
Know it’s all hogwash, lies perverted,
And when these call out: ‘Shoulder arms!’
That somewhere from the ground oil spurted,
With dollars soiling the bright colours;
That in their banks there’s something rotten,
They smelled some moneybags, it looks,
Or cooked some scheme, the oily crooks,
For higher import tax for cotton.

Drum on the pavement with your gun!
Ours the blood, the oil is theirs!
And through each capital and town
Scream out, to guard your cash blood-won:
‘Tell us another, noble sirs!’.

For a vegan diet, I'd prefer chia seed over flaxseed.

Its greatest advantage is that the seed does not need to be milled (exposing the oils inside to light and oxygen) to be digested. Second, it has more of that mucilaginous fiber coating than flax, making beverages such as chia fresca possible. Third, I just like the flavor better. The disadvantage is cost per kg. Chia still costs more than flax.

But one need not pick just one or the other; they're both excellent foods.

Non-vegans can go lower on the food chain than fish oil by eating krill oil. Krill are only one step up from algae. In theory, krill-based foods could be farmed more sustainably than fish, but in practice, most of the wild krill catch is fed to fish farms. If krill were more popular as a direct-to-human food, there might be more financial incentive to farm it rather than catch it wild.

Because we are talking about the known drone strikes. We know, generally, where they occur and who they target. People in the tribal Pashtun-Pakistan area, Al Qaeta in Yemen, and Somalia.

If America is waging some secret economic war, it's been covered up extremely well. Spying is easily covered up. It's certainly possible. But that's hard to a reason to presume it's true.
While I"m not familiar with specific laws in this area, the practice known as "redlining" is a serious issue that has been a big force for keeping segregation alive de facto.

What worked for me was to learn to listen to people, to let them explain the problem and sometimes find an answer as they were talking. What helped was to do lots of peer reviews of both code and documentation so the the young ones could learn from the old ones and the old ones could get new ideas or more up to date ways of doing things from the young ones. I came to realise that programming is flow based while leading a team is interrupt driven so I had to learn how to do context switching quickly and to block out areas of time when I could do my own programming. I had to learn to help people do their work and restrain myself from rushing in to do the work myself. And I had to learn that my team members were people who had lives outside work that affected the work they did.

For example, I had a team member who was a good programmer but had trouble coming to work on time. He was getting married so I bought him a clock radio as a wedding gift. That fixed the problem.
As I read it, they got that information from her email, and were I a betting man I'd say probably Yahoo or Gmail. They already had her password; getting it from the website would be trivial. This is all my own assumption of course.

The underscore here is that a limited use case person, someone who occasionally posts limited things and doesn't do anything beyond casual ebaying can still be a victim.
- you're going to be part of a lot of meetings, email list etc... Make sure you flow information down to your team, every day.

- your main job will be to:

- unblock your tam members

- bring them back on track

- consensus is great, but sometimes it doesn't work. Know when you need to make a decision even if not popular.

- praise publicly, criticize in private

- give people a chance (give warnings)

"it's just a way of relating"

Yes, I believe that it my point. By creating constructs like Bauer, the underlying topic that torture is justifiable became easier to relate to. Thus, it's not correct to absolve the creators of those shows simply, as drzaiusapelord did, because 'Its a dramatic show'.

I have no idea what your last line means.
Or you could simply lie and tell people it's been thoroughly and fully vetted by multiple diverse and counter-interested groups of individuals. Those claims won't undergo the same scrutiny. They can't - otherwise it'd be vetting all the way down.
"I agree that one's body belongs to oneself and no one else, that it must not be violated by any one or any group, even in the name of a greater good."

Your personal autonomy is contingent upon your intent to use that autonomy to promote the common good.

Your society, in the name of the greater good, can (and will) take your body from you if you don't use it to employ a minimum amount of consideration for others. And they have every right to.

There are no 'innate' rights. They all require justification, even when that justification is both vague and obvious in our current culture.

CSS is a complete utter crap that failed to solve the problems for which it exists

really? to me it seems to work very well. When I compare it to doing layouts in desktop apps such as winforms or WPF, CSS is amazing. I am no expert in it, but 99% of the time it more than meets my needs and I love how I can easily override other websites styles with something like stylebot. Seems like your experience is 100% opposite. What would be a good solution in place of CSS ?

How Tech N9ne Became One of the Highest Paid People in Hip-Hop
Varies from company to company. But every startup I've been in, and a couple of larger companies, gave "refresher" grants to folks annually. That keeps employees from being fully vested and helps skew equity toward the employees who are contributing the most.
I would stress this the most: support your team. Give your team the technical and emotional support they need to do their jobs well and have fun doing it.

Some things I've noticed that had the largest impact on employee engagement:

-

1. Poorly defined development processes heavily impacts morale. Define your code standards, your process for picking a library to use, how you handle versioning of code (and which methodologies), how your team should escalate problems, and expectations of individual team members. Document this in a place where anyone on the team can view it.

2. All projects require documentation on how to setup a build. If that doesn't exist, developers ramped up on the project will loathe the project from the start (and in some cases, the team lead). From scratch, setup a project before handing it off. Document everything you had to do.

3. Onboarding of new team members: make yourself or someone you appoint available at all times for the first week or so. Document and fix anything the new team member needed help with. Onboarding is hard, this will be an ongoing process.

4. Setup one-on-one meetings. Once every couple of weeks seems ideal in my experience. Don't have an agenda, but have a few questions you resort to for filling in quiet spots for the more introverted types. Don't be afraid to ask hard questions (did you have a problem with Robert in accounting last week? are you happy with your salary? what would make you happier?). This meeting is key to employee retention and team happiness.

5. Allow for an open discussion on all major decisions. Have a tool in place where anyone can raise problems. If someone can post anonymously to start a topic, that's ideal. That is where some of the best business growth will take place.

6. Read a book on mentorship. Mentor your team. If someone surpasses your skillset on the team, you've succeeded. I've not read all of Maxwell's books, but he has some really great insight in the couple I've read: http://www.amazon.com/John-C.-Maxwell/e/B001H6NROC/

7. Become known as an advocate/mediator for those on your team and the higher-ups. Fight for your team when you need to, and fight for upper management decisions when you need to. Finding a balance is important, but never lose trust of those you lead.

-

In many cases, becoming a technical lead also means you are expected to learn the business side of things. It wouldn't hurt to read business-oriented books. Anything by Jim Collins is great (Good to Great is a must-read):
http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Collins/e/B001H6GSHK

Best of luck, and congratulations on your learning opportunity!

According to Betteridge's law* a title in the form a question can be answered with a "No".

That said, this article does explore developments in precision tech resulting in "less killing" or "more targeted killing".

When will the global community work on growing past the age of war? Perhaps toward an age of military competition without death.

This is plain and simple activism (or sabotage, it depends whose side you are on). No need for fancy words and one-item-categories.
Really gizmodo? Your adherence to the Betteridge rule made me gag a little. The question in the headline is abhorrent, even if the body of the article is somewhat sensible.

It's honestly the worst line of investigation I could think of. Instead of this question, I think the best premise is to ask how we got the point where the image of constantly belligerent western militaries is distorted into a picture of humanity and outright magnanimous consideration for human life?
Ask HN: How do you find remote jobs?

Pretty telling that what? The show is racist? I think there might be more nuance involved.
I remember when I was young, Television was sponsored by Advertisers: One of my favourite shows, was made possible because of Advertisers. To bemoan Advertisers in my mind is to say that part of my childhood should never have existed, so I think greater, more focused criticism is required.

Do you ever wonder why the landscape became the way it did?
> It comes under the racial steering section

The racial steering section does not support the claim that answering questions is prohibited (in fact, it specifically as I quoted identifies that courts have held that proof of discriminatory motive is required in steering cases.)
>This way we could say the entire universe is just a big chemical reaction. It wouldn't even be an incorrect view. It just wouldn't be useful for anything.

It's a world view, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's useless. Religions are world views, and they have certainly been put to use.

If it's true, does it even matter if it's useful? Maybe truth is more important than utility.

The Problem with Using Metadata to Justify Drone Strikes
My problem with this perspective is that you're suggesting we go out of our way to put more people (US soldiers) in danger.

If we (the US, or the military, or what have you) determine that a certain military act is justified, I think the approach should be to do it in a way to minimizes the danger as much as possible.

I can't imagine going to a soldier (who might be your son) and saying, "Hey, so, we could do this with a drone, but we'd prefer instead to put your life on the line."
Also implies "and", whereas you seem to mean "instead".
I think he / she meant that the guy had the presence of mind to jump in his car and try to escape while being shot at.

I think it says a lot about our culture that if you don't wait in shock to get shot by a killer some think you're a kind of trained commando.
your main job will be to:

- unblock your tam members

- bring them back on track

Ditto. Note that the unblocking/course-correcting role is the real job. Depending on the size of the team, you may or may not want to be involved in architecture/design of minor projects that crop up all the time (things that might take a week or two to develop). Your team should trust and rely on your advise/insight around technical issues. Writing code yourself would be a secondary role though if it's a smaller team (2-3) people, you'd be advised to pull your weight there as well.

And yes, that set of responsibilities means that this would be more than a full-time job. You should know that going in. If you're more inclined to a strict 40 hour week, you'd probably better off declining this offer.

I'd venture to say this was a pretty calculated move -- no doubt they might not get work with this production company anymore, but they'll surely have quite a few more jobs lined up now with their name out there like this. Also, those jobs might be on projects that more closely align with their political and artistic goals and visions.

I'm sure you will get plenty of good advice.
My own (limited) experience is that your job is going from a "Individual Contributor" to a "Team Lead". This requires a pretty drastic change in thinking and is not something to overlook, or else things will not end up well. This means that there is going to be a lot of work - much more than you can do by yourself - that's why you have a team to support you. The primary thing I struggled with in the past was delegation. Learning to trust (but verify) your team to complete tasks the way they should be done. I think a lot of people struggle with this and is a primary reason for not doing well in a new role.

Some other quick things that come to mind are:
- Don't be a gatekeeper of information. If you learn something that would be a benefit to the team, make sure they know it and don't have to go through you to get it. That is - get the team involved.

- Do take a Crucial Conversations course. You will inevitably have to deal with conflict within the team and knowing how to approach the situation will help significantly.

- Do have 1-on-1's with your team on a regular basis. You determine how often, but it should be regular and should be a priority for both of you. This is where you will learn about conflicts within the team, about their career path and aspirations, about personal issues that they are dealing with, and will help build trust between the two of you.

Good luck! It's a fun role and comes with it's own challenges, but can be very rewarding!

Yes, it will work without an internet connection.

I bought a Roamio OTA for my mother-in-law, who has no internet. I set it up at my place (it usually wants to upgrade to latest firmware over wifi when you unbox it), scanned for the OTA channels, then I took it to her place and wired it up.

The operation without monthly activation is bare-bones. I mean, you don't even get channel or station names. But you can tune to prescanned OTA channels and watch tv and pause it live.
It may have been this page, though I'm pretty sure the resource I used told me what length to cut it. http://www.diytvantennas.com/dipole.php

Still, we can figure this out: Wikipedia says North American UHF frequencies are on average 680MHz across all channels, which corresponds to a wavelength of about 44cm. A folded dipole needs to have a length half of that, so we want a 22cm antenna when folded, plus about a 1cm gap.
MySQL works just as well for most use cases.
A factor I've not seen analyzed is the difference in brain maturation rates between boys and girls. Girls mature faster than boys.

I suspect that this results in boys spending more time in that awkward stage where they would rather spend their time on activities that are done alone or, if done with others, do not require much social interaction.

Girls pass through that stage faster, and more of their time after gets devoted to dealing with their social groups and their positions in those groups.

It is that awkward stage that is prime time for really seriously getting into programming and many other STEM activities. Boys spend longer stuck there, so boys get a head start in STEM.
Not really. You're considered a Jew by other Jews if at least one of your parents is Jewish (your mother in most sects, your father in a few other sects). That's very tribalistic. So, what's the common communal identifier of Jews? Jewish culture, and interwoven with that, Judaism. You can't separate the religious from the cultural component of that communal identity, and you can't separate Jewish culture from Jewish people.

This also shows in how Israel regulates its immigration: both people with ethnically Jewish roots (at least one of your grandparents) and people of Jewish belief where ethnic roots hadn't been established at that time (biggest example: Ethiopian Jews) are accepted and granted citizenship.

Conversion of people to Judaism are relatively rare, and are really a more recent phenomenon. Jews don't proselytize and often discourage conversion. Samaritans, the "sister" religion of Judaism (both derive from the Israelites from before the destruction of the first temple), are similar but even more extreme in that. How more tribalistic than that can you get?

This has nothing to do with money. The word coin here is used to represent a token in the ledger system. It is a transaction that is marked with cryptographically secure signature and wrapped in a SHA256 hash. It has nothing to do with social convention. A "coin" used in voting could be the minimum unit possibly represented by that ledger, meaning that value placed on the coin by society has no bearing on the system.
