There's a long history of pulling up the ladder of social mobility, after you have used it to climb up, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/14/opinion/sunday/the-self-de...

"Venice’s elites were the chief beneficiaries. Like all open economies, theirs was turbulent. Today, we think of social mobility as a good thing. But if you are on top, mobility also means competition. In 1315, when the Venetian city-state was at the height of its economic powers, the upper class acted to lock in its privileges, putting a formal stop to social mobility with the publication of the Libro d’Oro, or Book of Gold, an official register of the nobility. If you weren’t on it, you couldn’t join the ruling oligarchy."

Many corporations did not have the opportunity to add their wishlists to TPP negotiations, e.g. to use a trade treaty to hijack law enforcement to slow business model competition and innovation in digital trade. These excluded corporations have many reasons to oppose the TPP's proposed entrenchment of their competitors.

This is interesting stuff, but it's still a stop gap. As you say, large solo miners are an ongoing concern.

If bitcoin ever makes it big, IMO, it'll be large corporations running mining operations. Just as the general population does most of its services through huge corporations, mining bitcoin will probably be done by them as well.

What do you think of Proof of Stake systems? Are they feasible? I'm working on one, btw, with a shared spending pool and an ability to vote to spend the pool, and to change the code of the official client, thereby changing the rules of the system.
Yep. Even President Bush's 2004 NASA proposal included a return to the moon ("as early as 2015") and permanent moon base, specifically to "take advantage of lunar resources" and serve "as an eventual springboard to Mars". See:

That assumes that people will change from a car to other options. At least where I live, that will not happen. They tried to do exactly what you said - instead of increasing size of roads, they broadened roads but made the new lanes only for public transport. The expected happened - everyone who used cars before, were using them after, and only thing that improved is people who ride bus reach destination a little faster. Same would be with bikes and other things - nothing will have impact, car throughput is basically only thing that matters in traffic congestion reduction.

The quotation does say that it is a tendency.
> That's exactly how Bootstrap's classes for lists work. And they are tied to the DOM structure, though not necessarily to particular elements: .my-list has to go on a container element, and .my-list__item has to go onto children of that element.

Not quite exactly. My solution doesn't require list items to be child elements of the list. Bootstrap's "list item" needs (by definition/rule) to be a "direct" descendant - a child element of a given type (a selector with "> li") of the list. They have classes for lists, and then style the list items via element and "descendancy" (i.e. .my-list > li).

If somewhere along the way you decide/are asked to change the mark-up in order to have an element for grouping list items (so, you'd have elements between the list and list items ), Bootstrap's way of creating rules wouldn't work anymore - list items wouldn't be child elements of the list, despite you wanting to keep the styling in them. Independently of how you solved this in the mark-up, if your rule was like Bootstrap's .my-list > li, then it wouldn't work anymore because list-items wouldn't be "direct" descendants of .my-list.

This might seem minor or unusual, but I assure it's not - this is the kind of changes in structure that happen very frequently and make DOM-tied CSS fail. And bear in mind the Tetris effect on this: your less-than-experienced team member might solve this with yet another rule, but a even more specific one (.my-list > .group > li) which will yield harder to maintain CSS (this rule is very specific; it would need even more specific rules to be overridden when necessary). If your development rule was "no DOM tying; just use classes), the problem of escalating specificity would've also been avoided.

> The point I was trying to make was that at a component level, your CSS classes are usually going to depend on a particular hierarchy in the DOM elements that the classes are applied to, or they won't work correctly. How much of a dependency you have is a tradeoff; you can design your framework to minimize the dependency, but you're likely to create a more complicated framework in exchange.

I understand your point, but I don't agree with the notion that "but you're likely to create a more complicated framework in exchange" by minimizing the dependency on the DOM. You're likely, definitely, to create a more verbose CSS framework, with a way bigger amount of classes. But I don't think this is the same as complicated; it's more verbose, it may require you to write more code[1], but I think it's very predictable and easier to follow by team members with different expertise levels.

P.S. Also, bear in mind that BEM-like solutions also have hierarchy. Elements which belong to blocks. They just don't depend on a specific hierarchy on the DOM; DOM hierarchy is independent of styling hierarchy.

[1] I'd argue it will make you write more code in the beginning. Traditional DOM-tied styling will eventually catch-up and the code you have to write to overwrite "over-specific" selectors and similar issues will grow bigger.
Is your friend doing okay?

First link shows Vitamin D is very low and should be affecting your friends energy levels at the very least.
Second link shows a 1500%(!) increase in AST in under a year and its way over limit.

One way to evaluate the accuracy is the sniff test, e.g. is the lab result congruent with how the person feels? Information on the internet around understanding your medical tests is pretty crappy unfortunately, but you can usually get to understand whether symptoms match. And if you have a doctor that gives you the time of day and helps you understand it, even more so. Your friend's AST result raises a question of whether there is an accuracy issue and should be investigated.

From WebMD [0] --

> High levels of AST may be caused by:

> * Liver damage from conditions such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

> * A heart attack or heart failure.

> * Many medicines, such as statins, antibiotics, chemotherapy, aspirin, narcotics, and barbiturates.

> * High doses of vitamin A.

> * Kidney or lung damage.

> * Mononucleosis.

> * Some types of cancer.

> Many different conditions can raise AST blood levels, so other testing is usually needed to interpret an abnormal AST result.

Am I the only one who think it's perfectly logical that the speaker ratio is the same as the ratio of the tech population? Of course we should try hard to find minority speakers just to be proactive since we do have a diversty problem. However, when you go to a conference you want to see the best speakers and then it's only logical that a minority is less represented since, you know, there are less good speakers to choose from.

Nordic.js is doing a great job with their "50% women speakers" policy but if we forcibly try to overrepresent every minority where do we end up? "50% black trans women speakers"? I wouldn't go to such a conference since the probability of bad talks would be too high.

One way to help yourself swallow a bad decision is to look at all the other people also making it, and convince yourself that if they're doing it, it must be all right.
Yeah. I was buying games on CDs in a particular market in my city around '97. Also VC++ 6.0 was my first real programming environment; I got it from a friend of my dad, I have no clue where he did find it, but it was what turned me into a programmer. I still have fond memories towards that environment.

Actually, I was on the phone with Microsoft once, applying for internship. I was asked what is my favourite dev software; I answered something along the way of "VS C++ 6.0, because the 200x editions kind of suck", just little more politely. I didn't get the internship eventually, but I want to believe this was for unrelated reasons.
So, tell me, how often did you install a new os on your smartphone, game console, VR device smart watch in the early 80s?

How weird to think about only knowing English at that level. Even when I learned another language, it was conversational. I hadn't really given it a lot of thought about if you only knew the technical words. I can see how that would be difficult to work with, but it's hard to imagine.
And now "locked" means something else? There is no absolutely locked hardware that I know. If Apple can update OS on their phones it's not by some magical power that nobody else can possible posses.
I wonder it it comes from programming languages which silently truncate the fraction part of a float when using it as an integer.

Thanks! Yes this fixes it. Updated the page.
I appreciate your taking the time to reply.

Obviously suggestions of being underage would be hugely problematic. While I don't see anything illegal about an adult performer pretending to be younger in a fictional context (but with the requisite 2257 filings in place) it would certainly border on commercial suicide due to adverse publicity, not to mention international problems (eg UK law is now considerably stricter on obscenity, banning the appearance of various acts as well as the performance thereof in real life).

Now I can certainly see how a fictional kidnapping and rape could be similarly problematic, and the material I've seen steers away from such themes (but there's some self-selection bias there as that's not erotic to me anyway). But ISTM you'd have a very strong defense under the first amendment notwithstanding the graphic nature of the amterial. I mean, I can watch films like Nymphomaniac or The Night Porter on Netflix or DVD even though they are both graphic and include scenes of sexual coercion. They're not as graphic as a porn movie, obviously, but differences of degree haven't usually been enough to get an obscenity conviction in US courts in recent memory, eg US v. Stevens being found overbroad.

You mentioned having written some articles and I'd certainly be interested in reading those even if they're primarily aimed at HR contexts. By chance I recently downloaded the Meese commission report to refresh my knowledge of the area so I would be interested in hearing more of your professional perspective (same name at gmail if you prefer). I eke out a living in indie film and have never worked in porn myself, but from a political and professional standpoint freedom of expression is a huge issue for me so I feel obliged to go to bat for other producers even where I find their output distasteful or straight-up trashy.

Thanks again for engaging with me on a difficult topic.

I am wondering hos this dilutes over time though. I mean, if I was in a select group of 100 people, I would pick up the phone if one of them rang and wanted my help. However, as that group grows to 1000, it would be less likely and at 10.000 I would probably not bother. But maybe there are stronger ties within the batches?

Interesting! Ansible is great technology. Not as mature as Puppet or Chef, but it's getting there. However Red Hat is currently heavily pushing (what I understand to be) their own fork of Puppet inside Satellite 6. So quite a few RHEL customers in the process of rolling out the latest Satellite is probably going to want to hedge their investment in it. Perhaps there is some Red Hatter here who could comment?

Movies on Rotten Tomatoes only need to have 60% positive reviews to be "certified fresh." It's a low bar. If you want to find good movies start at the ones over 80%.
Y-combinator takes new tack with venture capital fund
From yesterday's article, they are currently only capable of performing 15 tests on micro-samples, and leaked documents from employees indicate serious accuracy concerns for some of those tests.

For many tests, the report stated that the way they measure micro-samples is to dilute them out and run them through regular lab equipment. Not only is it hard to see how there could be any product or IP behind this approach, it's also going to impact the accuracy and detection threshold of the test.

All in all, it's hard to see what they have actually developed.

They sure do have a honking huge new HQ on Page Mill Road in Palo Alto, though -- that must have cost them $50 million right there!

> I wouldn't go to such a conference since the probability of bad talks would be too high.

Why?
No I do not think "anyone can just [identify these animals from aerial photographs]." I think the people most likely to correctly identify the animals in aerial photos were those with the most experience identifying the animals on the ground. So, no I could not distinguish the different species in the last photo. But I would also have trouble distinguishing the animals regardless of the photo quality. I have no idea how a Blue Gnu is differentiated from another type of Gnu.
> One thing I wonder is how much the project's priorities would shift away from (if at all) anything non-RHEL-centric.

Going by projects like NetworkManager it'll work okay, but you'll need to be a paying RedHat customer to get any useful documentation.
You know, I find it strange how I can't remember a single person complaining about lack of diversity who wasn't complaining only about their specific type of diversity.

Case in point: the author is, by her own admission, a black woman and complains about the part of her identity that is not well represented: her (black) skin.

There's something almost funny in asking people to care for one's situation when the speaker isn't even speaking at large: why isn't she also complaining about asian, native american, indian and how many others not being represented?
Congrats mpdehaan2. Good to see good engineering getting rewarded. Testament to a great project you conceived and started.
And all executable code must be signed by the register that licensed you, so the code that runs can be audited back to its creator. However, the Software Engineers Union will offer the developer some legal protection, as well as negotiating the trade wages by scale.

You end up with hiring quotas in companies, where a less-than-competent candidate can be hired instead of a competent one because he/she belongs to a minority. Will the bet on minority over competence will yield greater gains in the long run? That is a question for the ages. :)
Ah, but swallows have been there for a lot longer than that!
VC's fund pharma and medical device companies all the time. However, from what I understand from friends in the business, there is usually a very standard playbook that hinges around the FDA approval process -- your valuation is your lifetime patent value for the drug or device, de-rated by the success rate of other ventures at your stage in the process. Theranos seems to have broken that mold.
The "diversity problem" is never going to be fixed, because the goalpost is always something more.

The population of non-hispanic black people in California is of 6.4%, if half of them are women (3.2%) it means that if a tech company has 100 employees the perfect amount of diversity would be 3 black women and 97 non-black-women, they may not even get to know about each other in a company of that size.

But I'm pretty sure in her mind the number should be a lot higher than that, otherwise white supremacy culture is to be to blame.

Web security because I'm a web developer who definitely builds unsecure applications. Unfortunately (and incorrectly, IMO) the full stack dev market doesn't really value security too much as it pertains to marketable job skills. For instance, I spend my time improving my Javascript skillset which has a greater impact on my bottom line at the moment.
I could never get the hang of DarkTable, and instead use rawtherapee.

Mostly I like rawtherapee because it can be pointed at a directory of .CR2/raw files, be used to filter them, convert them, and makes zero attempts to be an image-manager. I don't want to import my images into a collection, or tag them, etc. Instead I use a filesystem hierarchy for that purpose:

Images/2015/
Images/2015/10/
Images/2015/10/15-Helsinki-Sunset

Each of my "event" directories contains RAW, JPG, and thumbs. That in combination with the year/mon/day-title directories lets me find things very easily.

The direction in which the technology evolves. That's also the reason why Red Hat hires a lot of upstream developers[1]. It is easier to tailor your services and offer better support (ie: the revenue stream for Red Hat) for OSS when the developers who write it are on your payroll.

Because only a small % of all people in tech are good speakers. Having a smaller population to choose from would mean a higher risk of putting a bad speaker on the lineup.

It might just be sample bias. While users of Rotten Tomatoes are more serious and critical movie watchers, Fandango users are probably more casual movie goers who can enjoy any movie. If I'm out on a date and want to have some fun, I don't care that much about the quality of a movie. Some stupid action flick like Transformers is fine.
I agree on all points, and can vouch for this approach: Thoughtfully approaching recruiters allows you to see who is actually worth keeping in touch with. In fact this is what I do, too.

While there are some rude/inefficient/untrustworthy recruiters out there, I don't think generalizing is a valid approach (and in many other circumstances, as well).

Coming from a country where the job market has lately been (and still is) a bit stagnant and recruiting agencies have historically never been a popular option, I would say dealing with recruiters is definitely not all grey and grim.
You'll never believe how desperately we want your attention.
I look at RT but I take it with a grain of salt. I've seen many 95%+ movies that I didn't like. My tastes might be different than the mainstream or the critics and I can be picky but, there's also the issue that the number on RT is the percent of people that didn't hate the movie.

So, you can get 100% if everyone thought the movie was just ok but no one thought it sucked. All the reviews could be just mildly positive rather than glowing.

Or, you know, just read the reviews and see the distribution

A review of one star that has 'tis place sux' is much less relevant than one star review that says "ok, service took one hour, even after asking the server multiple times, the food was undercooked and tasteless"

Though my favourite Yelp complaint is that the food tastes "bland". I'm pretty sure that 90% of people that complain about this have absolutely no idea what that dish should actually taste like (or maybe is accustomed to commercial MSG pumped dishes)
No, I didn't implement any analytics/tracking of that kind since I just wanted to game be out and playable. Maybe a future version.

But I know for certain that there has been at least one person who managed to finish all 37 rounds (that includes the two bonus rounds) with the one heart modifier active. Which is impressive. If you don't know that modifier reduces your lives to 1, so one wrong guess and game over.
