The BBC has had a definite right-bias over the past couple of years, their treatment of Corbyn has brought it to the forefront of many commentators, including the BBC's own Nick Robinson, who has recently started talking publicly about bias at Aunty.

in practice it means putting what seems like all your money into weird "future" accounts

I'm curious, do you really mean multiple separate accounts? What's the advantage to that over putting it all in one single account? After all, if one of your accounts were to run out you'd surely have to draw from the others?

"And what if nobody had stepped up?"

One option would be to pitch it again in a different method and at a later time. Iterate on approach and message. If it truly is an important project and if prospective volunteers had the time to commit, surely someone would emerge.

Put another way, assignments represent opportunities.
One the one hand, yes, (freezing and boiling) but on the other hand, 1 degree C is not always fine enough to describe a temperature. I know, one could use fractions.

Basically, the jump from 37C to 38C is noticeable, whereas something similar like a jump from 98F to 99F, feels more graduated.
Yes this is true. There have always been adults who behave badly. However, that doesn't have anything to do with the changing length of childhood.

In cultures where a person was considered an adult at 15, there were older people behaving badly. And in cultures where a person is considered an adult at 18, there are older adults behaving badly.

This is not about adults killing or stealing or just acting like asses. This is a very specific issue. 18 year olds demanding that colleges treat them like children in order to protect them from being offended.
Yes! And in fact that is exactly what the Yale professor was trying to tell those students.
The collapsing and pruning of tcp buffers shows up in network statistics also, could have been the first hint.

Usually system defaults work just fine, unless you want to tune for a very specific type of workload.
There are some, who in ambition to lead (or work on highly visible projects), will step up and take on new things – meanwhile skimping on their core responsibilities and deliverables.

Are these the people we want to promote into leadership roles?
I find these points very valid.

But, I always feel a little annoyed when people complain about piping curl into bash. If you know enough to see the danger, you also know enough to avoid it. Just curl to a file and read it, or open the web page and read it. Take some responsibility.

Hi,

just take the platform you're most comfortable with (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Node/Express, ASP.NET, whatever...) and implement your smallest possible product/service use cases (MVP-like) and ask your peers or future-customers to start working with it.

Then iterate though all the issues and suggestions to improve it.

First rule would be to get SOMETHING WORKING online asap.

You can go from there. When you're making money, start improving the product and the technology.

To address your needs you need to know what you need first. :)

Best regards,

I haven't played with kafka in a while, but basically,

1. each group id represents a point in the stream that a consumer is processing off of. You could technically have multiple processes consuming off of a single group id.

2. there was a configuration on time to keep things there as well as space if I remember correctly, but basically, there has to be. There's a pretty hard limit on what all you can store on disk.

edit: changed consumer id to group id. If you want more info, feel free to ping me about the ecosystem
There's various levels of offensiveness. And also bear in mind that both of these cases were for a commencement speech. Commencement speeches are not the places for divisive speakers. If the Young Republicans want to raise money to pay for someone to come speak, that's very different than the school paying the equivalent of free tuition for 3 students for a year for an extremely controversial speaker to give a 35-minute commencement speech.

It sounds like you're dismissing the students' complaints by saying effectively "if the speaker wasn't offensive to the student, the student wouldn't complain". But that's kind of a given, isn't it? If you find someone that everybody can agree is a good speaker to have, then it should be obvious that nobody will protest it.
All I'm saying is there may be qualitative reasons for buying but financially you are better off renting than buying a home using a mortgage

That's not what you were saying before, you didn't say anything like that. You said "you will pretty much always sell at a loss when you factor in the interest paid over your time as owner", as if losing money overall on your house means it was a poor choice.

And if that's what you're saying now, you haven't backed it up. Of course, that's a statement that can't be backed up, because obviously some people are better off getting a mortgage than renting. It depends on all kinds of quantitative reasons that you're ignoring, like average rent in your area vs house prices, cost of living in your area vs other areas, our salary and where your job is located, etc.

> it would be advisable to debate the principle of safe spaces

I think that would be valuable to discuss but we need to know what that principle is. I haven't seen anything that informs me about it. For example, one person in this discussion said they are basing their conclusions on one video they saw of one incident at one college.

My experience with similar issues in the past is that what most people discuss, in any forum, doesn't turn out to be true - they are solving problems that don't exist.
Another point most people don't consider is the fact that a mortgage is essentially a very heavily leveraged (often 10x+) investment in real estate.

Example: Consider a $500k mortgage with a $50k down payment (10x leverage). A 5% drop in value on the $500k home means you've lost 50% of your principle investment (-$25k), and vice versa with gains.

Most investors have rather modest risk profiles and would never consider a 10x leveraged investment of any other type, but for some reason they give no second thoughts to putting down money for a 10x leveraged mortgage.

I personally would rather pay the fixed monthly expense of a rent rather than exposing myself to the risks of a 10x leveraged investment.
I wouldn't be concerned with work not getting done as long as you're thoughtful in where you leave the vacuums.

The example he uses is a pretty good one. Teams were building software without the aid of CI, some teams had found benefit in it, but not yet all of the teams. You might be right, forcing CI may have created resentment, it might not have been the right thing to do at the time. If no one steps up, that's a signal worth thinking about.

I don't really know the details, but the source I found used the word "racism" so that's what I used. And anti-Muslim sentiment is very closely tied to racism against people of middle-eastern descent anyway, because most people (or at least most Americans) tend to equate the two.
Your question is too vague to properly answer: Which part are you referring to: The Power transfer or the Data transfer?

For the power transfer, both generate an electromagnetic field, which is received by an antenna, then converted to DC by a Detector (eg a rectifier).

So the principle is the same, but the details of the technology differs, as does the frequency, type of antenna, etc.

There are many tutorials out there on the web if you care to do some research.

I've worked at too many places where the vacuums are real, not contrived as bounty, and NO ONE WANTS YOU TO FILL THEM. They all really, really just want to spin your wheels, stay on the treadmill, and count paper clips until your dying day. Everyone.

The real-world dynamic, on the other side of the wall, is more like that of some kind of 1950's sitcom depiction of a social circle of married couples, and all the lazy husbands resent the one that buys his wife roses, and makes them all look bad.
Google should just buy Digital Ocean and build their cloud around that. I know it's not on the same level of sophistication as their existing offerings but who cares? It's so affordable and easy to get up and running with that it's easily the best acquisition target for them.
Yes, very well said. I'm currently on a very activist college campus and also have many friends (and follow many people on Twitter) who side with this movement. To an extent, I'm sympathetic to the difficulty of actually being heard. There was an open letter recently from one student activism group that said that they would not protest "respectfully" because they feel that that is just another way for their voices to be suppressed, or some such.

That's a hard problem. It does seem like there has been a lot of talk and not a lot of walk from the people/institutions that hold power, and if I were on the activism side, I'd also be extremely frustrated. Not related to that open letter, but this article gives a view into some of that frustration: https://medium.com/@aaronzlewis/what-s-really-going-on-at-ya...

What's interesting is that the closest case I can find that relates to how some of these student protestors, who seem to be mostly liberal, perceive the situation, are conservatives. In reaction to social science studies that show that, say, African-Americans are systematically disenfranchised in the country, some conservatives attack social science itself, saying that it is inherently leftist, or biased in some way, the methodology is wrong, it's not a real science, etc. Similarly, some activists, like you said, would respond to the appeals to free inquiry and free expression by attacking the 'holiness' of free inquiry and free expression. Certainly possible that that's all a fraud to elevate those in power, but they seem pretty self-evident to me, not the least because free expression and inquiry, on the whole, seem to benefit the minority rather than those in power IMO.

The idea is that you can define a transformation separate from its use and then reuse it in many contexts. Some of the win sits in decoupling what you are doing from when and where you are doing it.

From your comment it sounds like you haven't used Kinesis or Kafka yourself - rather than take my word for it, I'd suggest your team give both of those platforms a serious try-out to really understand the capability gaps. I'd be surprised if a lot of your [prospective] customers weren't asking for these kinds of unified log capabilities in Cloud Pub/Sub.
> What do you mean? I would not expect to find the words "safe space" in the mizzou bylaws.

I'm guessing it's defined someplace, if not in the by-laws then either by the school or by the groups that use them. Maybe it's a statement of principles of some group. Also, the idea of a 'safe space' may be based on certain papers or books or research. And that would apply to other issues besides 'safe spaces', such as the effects of racism on the educational environment, etc.

It would be useful to see links to some of the student groups' own statements; I only see second-hand information and not even many quotes or interviews with the protesters themselves.

At a sit-down restaurant, yeah, a burger will often take longer than most other items. That's because it's being prepared fresh. A real "fast food" place doesn't prepare its food fresh like that. An actual fast food burger can be prepared and put into your hands in less than a minute if people aren't busy (and it's not held up by the rest of your order).
Ah, the Nuremberg Defense.
On a related note, tomatoes are a tragic victim of appearances. The "nice" looking tomatoes you can get in any grocery store here are really quite awful. They sacrificed taste and texture at the altar of appearances. In contrast, if you buy heirloom tomatoes, they look pretty bad, but they taste amazing.
>These ads are one of the main reasons I became a cord cutter.

These ads are also an important source of revenue for the networks. The TV stations are going to fight this as much as the drug companies will, if not more.

As you point to, some of these ads are long and long means expensive. I don't see how the networks won't fight this.

If it becomes illegal to advertise drugs to consumers, the interesting thing won't be what the drug companies does (they'll just target the doctors and save a ton of money). The interesting thing will be what TV will do to make up for lost revenue.
If not for these high tech weaponry, A LOT of us who post on this website would be required to serve in an army. And if unlucky, called upon to try to kill someone. And if really unlucky, end up KIA or WIA.

Because of these high tech weapons, wealthy western nations are able to maintain their sovereignty without requiring all fit males to serve in uniform for 2-3 years.

The alternative to not having these high tech weapons is a man shooting another man to death.

War is terrible. But that's life.
I'm saying that as I student, I should be able to manage offensiveness. Not meanness, but offensiveness. I should be able to process divergent and disgusting and disagreeable views without getting overworked.

We deal with all kinds of offensive things in our daily lives, we don't need to be coddled. We may not always live in the US or Europe (what "we're" used to, we may have to travel to other places (or vice versa) and we'll need to be able to manage unfavorable opinions on all kinds of things.
Not sure why are you replying to me, it's entirely different question.

I don't have a problem with people working on new things. The question of leadership - I think it's a little fuzzy. OS kernel decides what process gets to run and what not, but it's not like you can call it a "leader". He just does it on basis of processes' priorities, which may well be set by individual processes themselves or something else entirely. (And I am actually fan of direct democracy - where the leader designation is pointless, but that doesn't mean - in such system - you can't have project manager telling you what you should work on, as is obvious from the OS analogy.)
CCS seems like the best short-term fix for pollution, yet we don't do it. Is it too expensive? Does it not work very well?
This is really interesting, we have very different perspectives on how to consume how an application works. Not saying you are wrong at all, just have different perspective :)

1. When I say "global state" I mean the actual state, actions and signals are state changers, not state. A global state store looks like this:

{
admin: {
users: [],
showConfig: false
},
home: {
isLoadingNotifications: false,
notifications: []
}
}

This is one file. If you use local state this example would be split into maybe 3 different files. I think we both agree it has to do with how many files you need to look into. And the amount of composition you need to do in your head.

2. It would be interesting to see Om Next in JavaScript syntax, too much brainpower going into trying to read Clojure :) Not because it is bad, just have not learned it

3. That is true, but now it is conceptually no different than signals/actions and for that very reason. You should look into a different file to read the state change. I think it is a good thing. State changes are often very complex, surprisingly complex. They should not be inside a component. I think a component should only be about rendering UI. State changes should be expressed by a different layer.

So what I think is interesting here is that we seem to look at the app from two completely opposite sides. I do not care about the components to understand my app, because they just express its output, the UI. My app is really the state defined and the way it changes that state. What I do care about though is having dumb components is that makes me able to do universal apps, just move my app to a new UI output like react-native etc.

It will be really interesting to see how Om Next affects the JavaScript community. We are good at getting ideas from other languages and practices, where Elm is a good example :)

Again, not stating that you are wrong about anything. It is nice to go into a component and understand how that component works. Its just in my experience really bad to use a "view" as a container for state and business logic. That said it is really important to be open minded and I hope to see us grab ideas from Om Next. Actually trying to inspire creator of Baobab to bring in some new ideas :-)
What would actually happen in the pictured Dark Knight scenario where a relatively small part of the middle of the the bridge disappears? It seems like if the road deck is sufficiently rigid the vertical suspenders near the middle would realign and provide at least some of the tension force previously supplied by the removed suspension cable. Is there any reason why the bridge must fall?
If nobody steps up then it's quite likely that work never needed to get done in the first place. win-win as long as it's a learning experience for all involved.

It's definitely a problem if you force a team or a person into a certain pattern and then change the rules without telling. For example you may have punished someone for taking the initiative in the past and now you try to intentionally create a vacuum.

In the real world there is always vacuum and always stuff people think needs to get done that doesn't really need to get done. The illusion is that the manager is omnipotent and can see all the vacuum and inefficiency. A good manager works with the team to understand those.
Speaking of drone operators...

If you can take the low-budget effects, I recommend watching the movie Sleep Dealer[1]. It is probably the best cyberpunk[2] film ever made; unfortunately, it never got a lot of attention.

The film deals primarily with telepresence, with an emphasis on the remote operation of drones. Not just military drones, either; drones also enable "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" workers.

[2] A lot of people confuse cyberpunk with flashy tech and network shenanigans; Gibson describes cyberpunk as stories about the interstitial - the people caught in the cracks of "legitimate" society (consensus reality).
What about people who have a light load during a cycle (due to specialization), like to tinker with things in their 'spare' time, or would rather tradeoff their core and do something different?

Seems reasonable for an internal tool or process to help the team - not a necessity, so if nobody wants to do it, no big deal. If people are excited about it, it'll get done along with their core responsibilities.

The other case is giving people the opportunity to hand off their normal load (that may be uninteresting to them) to head up some project or initiative that would have to be assigned to someone anyway. In the latter case, isn't it better to have someone who's interested doing it than have that person doing uninteresting work while an uninterested person heads up the project?
To these people, the only thing that matters is the subjective "lived experience" of people who are not straight white men.

I experienced this in a discussion several years ago with a young lesbian university student (I'm not trying to shoehorn a complex individual into a category - I'm merely adding context). She referred to me as "cis" meaning Cisgender or that my sexuality agrees with my gender. The way she used it was in the white-straight-guy sense of the term, which to translate further meant any perspective I held was probably tainted, unremarkable, and privileged. I was quite a bit older than her so that possibly added an extra layer of distrust.

Getting back to Cisgender, I'd never heard the term before that point but I thought it was fascinating: that by defining people by gender and sexuality it becomes a kind of matrix. You could define yourself as a gay male sexually while possessing the gender of a female. In effect you're in a straight relationship (female and male) but really it's more granular. I actually like the idea. At least by asking about gender-sexuality matrices I was able to turn the discussion into something a bit more positive with the student. But...yeah, in those situations just ask questions. Your perspective isn't welcome.
