3 Reasons Why Social Media Is Important for Business
If a leaving employee is so important, you should ask yourself "Am I really 100x-1000x (whatever ratio your equity is to their equity) more important than this employee?"

I don't advocate any of her financial mistakes, but having reached my mid 30's, I realize

1) Old age and life aren't guaranteed.

2) If you wait until retirement to start 'living', you may be unable or unwilling to take risks, travel and have adventures.

Saving all the money in the world means nothing if you are dead or too old to enjoy it. I've found there is a delicate balance of saving and exploring the world and life will I'm young enough to be able to.
So you are making a distinction that I am not. If you label something as "mental patterns of hate" and rejecting it on those grounds, you are, by definition making a moral judgment against it.

Excuse me, but have you read any history at all? The psychology of othering and its role in the justification of human evils is long and sordid.

What you consider hateful, I may not consider hateful

This is your word game of double standards. The hateful mindset in human brains is a tangible, measurable thing. There is no debate about this. Your cop-out is nothing more than a common-sense defying ideological re-labelling.

I have given you a concrete working example to demonstrate my moral logic.

I also note that you have not given me quotes to back your 3 unjustified assertions (attempt to put words in my mouth) which I called out. This kind of cognitive distortion resulting in a lack of intellectual dishonesty is something that I have observed in association with hateivism, and is simultaneously a symptom and pernicious effect.

I really don't want people unmotivated by anger to be activists.

Read carefully much? In a preceding comment, I make a point of saying it's ok for people to be motivated by anger in activism. The problem is when it becomes the guiding force.
What makes it even harder to understand is that it was basically the US that forced Japan to demilitarize after WW2. Now we want to ask them to fight our wars?

The possible cover for not saying "we're preparing for an eventual conflict with China" is even more troubling. It was previously the case that the US would handle Japan's defense and the Self Defense Forces would, of course, provide self-defense. Are they planning for a conflict that is not defensive?

It is indeed a very complicated situation.
I vaguely remember seeing the homepage of a quantified self nerd that showed all his live stats - ecg, hydration, activity and stuff like that. I can't seem to find it though. It was absolutely beautiful. Then again, like the other arguments made here, I don't know what one can do
I didn't want post a huge comment so I made a gist[1]. This is an excerpt from Peter Cooper's book "Ruby: From novice to professional" which is the best ruby book for non-programmers IMHO.

Ah, fair, I haven't kept up with how it has progressed (although I did see that Project64's installer is now malware-ridden, that's sad) over the years and I haven't played an N64 emulated game in a long time. I do remember a long time ago that Dolphin wasn't that great and had spotty game support, so they must have really worked hard on it over the years.

I wonder how much of the volume are first purchases vs replacements vs additional devices? I've owned a few iPads (currently have an Air 2 and a Pro), and I wouldn't mind a Surface. As it's not a primary device, I doubt I'd want to pay full retail, so I'm more likely to wait for an online deal.
When chip+pin rolled out in the UK, it noticeably sped up checkouts, it is certainly faster than signing.
> Although on the other hand it really doesn't stand a chance against China's nuclear arsenal.

I beg to differ; According to the U.S government, Japan maintains a latent nuclear program. According to their assessment, Japan can go from "Hey, let's build a nuclear weapon stockpile" to actually having that stockpile in as little as a few months. (Source: http://zidbits.com/2012/02/which-country-is-closest-to-build...)

Germany comes in second place and could have nuclear weapons nearly as quick.

> Or just a cover for not saying "we're preparing for an eventual conflict with China"?

Right now, if North Korea launched a missile at California, Japan would have to watch as it sailed over Tokyo. They legally cannot shoot it down in protection of their ally. Japan wants to change that. They want to be able to protect and assist their allies in more than just a minor supporting role. Japan was there in Iraq and Afghanistan, they just weren't in combat roles. They were there providing medical aid and resupplies.

People (incorrectly) think that Japan is trying to become 1935 imperial Japan again. That's not it - they just want to be like everyone else. Right now, they have less freedom (militaristicaly) than everyone else. Significantly less than Germany too.
Posted update with new information:

"Our investigation is still actively in progress. We share your frustration that we cannot provide answers to many of your questions. However, because this is an active, on-going investigation, including federal law enforcement, we are limited in what we can share at this time."
I can't upvote this enough.

However, even the phrase "law enforcement" implies a different mindset rather than "To serve and to protect (the public)". It seems that phrase got perverted into "to serve and protect (thyself)" instead. Which makes me sad.

We need more officers to think like this one. [1]

What we've found at Blendle, is that it's not the regular newspaper articles that sell best, but in fact it's the bigger opinion pieces, and more importantly the more in-depth background articles.

Please remember that these background articles often require months of research and journalists going abroad. These types of in-depth articles are hard to get on most blogs and/or free news sites.

Without these in-depth articles, our news consumption would be very shallow. This is what triggers people to pay for articles on Blendle, they want to be informed, they want to know more about a subject and/or event that recently happened. They probably already _know_ that it happened and what the end result was, but now they are interested in _why_ it happened and _how_ the end result came to be.

I know for some people that article may feel like this article talks about them one way or another. It may also seem a little self involved to think that it does if you are an employee.

But a word of advice for such talented employee as some of the recommendations go both ways. I'm 5 weeks away from being done with a 6 months-ahead notice to my employer that I would be leaving because I knew nobody could enter "the kingdom" that I ended up holding the key to. I felt too bad leaving them in that situation especially since I was given opportunities may developers would never expect their current employer to go for. I also know that despite that long transfer of knowledge they'll have a heck of a hard time dealing with.

You don't want to be irreplaceable just as much as they don't want you to be, especially in an era where software developers are in such ridiculous demand. And in no way does this mean you can't be as good as you work to be.
I feel that rarely does real life look more sci-fi than science fiction, but the design of this device is out there.
Hi Jessica, thanks for the clarification.

That's a fair approach, although I agree that it adds a little bit of ambiguity around the process. As noted in other threads, there can be metagaming around the salary process on the employer side, so caution is still necessary.
I agree with your position and would also like to see officer pay increased to reflect the dangerous nature of their work.
> It's possible that grain causes subtle long-term damage that mostly kills people past reproductive age, whereas lactose tolerance is of immediate benefit.

Sure, and it's also possible the human body has already adapted to processing grains without long term damage, and it's possible that there was never any damage by consuming grains in the first place (the body is highly adaptable). All this line of argument is stating is that without any information, we have no information.

What Retric was stating is different though. There exists digestive adaptations that have happened relatively rapidly in relatively recent history, therefore merely the fact that foods were not available in more ancient history is not sufficient to argue that they "aren't good" for the body.
Even that is not enough. The vehicle itself may emit zero, but just moving on the roads with wheels on the ground will produce emissions, as tyres grind particles out of the road and turbulence lifts dust up in the air.

Emissions very definitely is not a black-and-white thing.
I recently tried cursive... it just didn't work right. Breakpoints didn't actually stop, no stepping. It was supposed to do that, it just didn't work.

I gave up, upgraded my copy of cider, and noticed it supports breakpoints and whatnot now. Since I'm used to emacs anyway, that works for me.

I'd have been happy to give cursive a whirl for a while but I couldn't make even the most basic debugging work right, and that was the only reason I even considered trying it.

Actually (and please correct my arithmetic wherever it's wrong), the prospectus shows 96.1% to founders, directors, officers, and VCs (page 146).

In my visualization of perfect blogging platform, it automatically periodically scrapes all your old links and looks for either redirections or wild size changes in the content. It also auto-archives linked content for you (which used to be easier, but can still be at least tried), and could offer these archives to either the blog owner or post reader. But among the many challenges implementing that provides is that it is hard to make it work at scale, because of the resulting legal issues.
Does anyone else have the following issue with the footnote hotlinking on this blog post? When I click the "return" icon on a footnote to jump to the point in the text where the footnote is, I end up several lines below where I should.

I am not going to defend Bergdahl. At all. What he did was stupid, reckless and negligent. But the guy spent five pretty hellish years as a Taliban captive, is going to get drummed out of the Army unceremonious as his best-case scenario, and is going to wear this stigma the rest of his life. He has certainly suffered for what he's done. I don't think it's necessary to make up things to make what he did seem worse than it was, because it was already an incredibly wrong thing for him to have done. And as far as I can tell, the evidence that anyone was killed as result of what he did just isn't there.
I'm having a very good experience with cider/emacs lately. version 10 has breakpoints and stepping, code reload... it's working pretty smoothly for me now, both osx and linux.

I tried cursive a week ago and I only got breakpoints working once. I'm not used to intellij so that might be my fault, but I couldn't make it work so after an hour or so I just went back to emacs. I'm really a vim person at heart, but for clojure, emacs seems to fit the best. Well not emacs really, but the ecosystem.

If you don't, you're fucked anyway because who says a hacked machine will only charge as much as it says it will?

If a machine charged you too much, either it would say so on the receipt and you could protest immediately, or the receipt wouldn't match the charge so you could protest later. Sure, the first few customers might get fucked, but soon the bad machine would be caught. OTOH if the machine processed the current transaction correctly while sending all your codes to the bad guys, it could do so until the store noticed its bad firmware, which could take years.
5 Massive Problems We'd Face Living on Another Planet
Apple Pay (and all other mobile payments) are an odd niche, IMO. They are great in the US, where the alternative currently is signing for a payment, and faster than PIN entry in countries that support chip+pin. But it's still more cumbersome than contactless payment cards.

Contactless is as quick as a payment will ever be: Hold your card near the reader for less than a second, and you're done. No need to wait for your phone to wake up and accept a fingerprint, fumbling around trying to hold the phone right, and then put it near the reader.

Once contactless cards become more prevalent, Apple Pay / Google Pay becomes pointless.

I itnerpret the trend the opposite way - lots of people using the Internet, but having no clue how software works and being utterly disempowered with respect to what their devices do. In the 90s, it was the entire Internet community was solidly against surveillance backdoors. Now the majority figures the activities shown on primetime propaganda are what is required to keep them "safe".

> such a law requiring backdoors would be likely unconstitutional

Lol, as if that means anything when all ten test cases from the Bill of Rights are failing! I can see such a law being easily gavel-stamped since it's regulating interstate commercial activity.

Agreed. And when a person is new to training it's wisest to err on the side of caution because it takes time to learn how the body feels when it's uncomfortable vs when it's injured.

I should have been more clear in my response that when I say "don't fucking quit" that "...just because you're uncomfortable" is implied. The 100 chinups from the article is a pretty bad example, candidly, of something to be powering through, especially, if you're not already in decent condition and have that sense of hurt vs injury. The degree of discomfort could become so high that it masks the injury signals from the structure of the shoulder.

Given their mutual histories, I suspect both China and South Korea expect that Japan is preparing for conflict with them, so attempting to provide "cover" in that regard would only make Japan look duplicitous, regardless of Japan's actual intentions.
You should divulge your personal aspirations because your company might actually help you achieve them.

It pays to start thinking about how your interests which you are a little bit afraid to share might help your career... because this is how you get your employer to pay for them.

It depends on the employer. I wouldn't say "I want to quit this dump and become a water colour artist and photographer". But I /would/ say "I think that studying some art subjects would really benefit my front end design work here".

I wouldn't say "I want to get away from you and write poetry" but I /would/ say "I would like to improve my written communication skills, which will really help the clarity in my correspondence with clients and in my detailed documentation and commit messages. Would work fund this course I have found"

If there is any cross-over at all between where you want to go and what benefits your employer, it's in both of your interests to put that spin on it and get them to pay for it.

The one-on-ones are only something to dread if you don't know how to ask for things in a way that is mutually beneficial. As you get older and more experienced in negotiation it becomes easier.

Remember, its "career aspirations", not "personal aspirations".

Feynman recounts very much the opposite (of apathy), that engineers and even factory workers had remained surprisingly (to him) involved, interested and high in morale, e.g. recounting his meeting with the workers reshaping and reassembling the solid rocket booster sections:

> the point is, the workers were thinking! I got the impression that they were not undisciplined; they were very interested in what they were doing, but they weren't given much encouragement. Nobody was paying much attention to them. It was remarkable that their morale was as high as it was under the circumstances.
