Zerto — http://www.zerto.com — Israel (Herzliya); Boston (halfway between Broadway & South stations); remote

Zerto has the industry's leading hypervisor-based replication solution for private, public, and hybrid clouds. If you're interested in virtualization, data protection, disaster recovery—or just working on interesting technical challenges—then we might be right for you.

We're on a hiring spree with a wide range of openings, including roles in QA, DevOps, sales/solutions engineers, development, etc. Technologies include C++, C#, .NET, PHP, Apex, and Javascript (Angular in particular I believe). Some senior roles as well, including VP of Product. Technical openings are here: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3AmFKhw7

Experience with and/or interest in these could be helpful: hypervisors, cloud computing, virtualization, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, and Azure.

Also hiring for a ton of non-technical positions, especially in sales, marketing, and account management—most of these positions are also fully remote and spread out globally. Here are some of the business openings: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3fmFKhwM
Well this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has been following what others have mentioned is a best practice for working from home: Set work boundaries, both in terms of time and physical location, as to what constitutes work and what is otherwise personal/family time.

Enforce set hours as to when you are actually working as opposed to when you are doing something else, and let others in your household know what they are. Create a separate physical environment that you can mentally associate as being where you perform work, and work only, and take any other activities such as social life and games out of it -- preferably using a different computer altogether.

Setting virtual walls where work begins/ends can greatly reduce the cognitive overhead your brain has to endure when trying to separate what is work from the rest of your life, and thus lower overall stress.

The need to capture increased productivity as increased leisure time is the reason I support a basic income --- or a "technological divided", to put it differently. But we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that everyone is capable of making an equal contribution to society and that wage disparity somehow reflects unfairness.
Exactly. Doom was popular because it was a more immersive experience of hell than anything that came before (remember, this was two years before Win95 Ba-Dum Tshh).

The content was far less important than the novel and superior medium.
> It's a dangerous ideology fueled by envy and contempt.

You should do some reading on the condition of the ordinary worker at the time Marx was writing. This would give you a more balanced perspective. By and large, communist movements were successful in countries where a small amount of people exploited the rest.

> One in which each man exists only to serve the ends of society, another where each man is an end in himself.

Except for part where Western governments have no issues with regimes where each man exists only to serve the ends of a few (most of Cold War South America, for instance).

Not that I'm defending communism, which everywhere resulted in oppressive, inefficient and ultimately conservative bureaucracies, but there are good reasons while it was attempted in so many different places, and this wasn't solely due to USSR/Chinese/Cuban influence.
The main problem with comparing XML and JSON is that their use cases don't perfectly overlap. I work with complex text documents, typically encoded in TEI schema, and it would be insane to try to do this work in JSON. It's possible, but the result would be an incomprehensible mess.

Unfortunately, a lot of programming languages have poor support for XML, and standard libraries usually only give you XPath 1.0 compatibility. XPath 2.0 and XQuery 3.0/3.1 are far more powerful and flexible, but you need Saxon or a good XML database to make proper use of them.

Your post is the kind of thing that seems intuitively to be the case, but is actually not in any practical setups.

Unless you hardcode your IPv6 addresses, they will be generated automatically and change quite frequently. So the addresses become pretty meaningless and all you have to identify your devices really is the prefix of your network - pretty much the same amount of information as a network behind a NAT'ed IPv4 address.

In fact, as far as I remember you can actually statically assign your machines easy to remember addresses if you want but still have the machines generate temporary addresses that they use for outgoing connections, which is cool.

As for NAT - it basically gives you no extra security over a basic firewall, and just makes it really difficult to do a lot of things, such as serve content from two machines on your network on the same port. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is a fairly sub-optimal hack and something I would really love to do away with on my networks.

Or hazelnut oil.

It's quite telling that the amount of "extra virgin" "Italian" "olive" oil exported from Italy is not only greater than the amount of actual virgin oil that its olive orchards could theoretically produce, but also greater than the amount of olive oil Italy actually produces, for all grades. It is either cut with a different oil, or it is imported from elsewhere (Greece, Spain) and re-exported.

From some of my experiences with corporate HR departments, it can be impossible to tell exactly what happened even when you are the one who is supposed to be in the wrong.

This has little to do with Flexible scheduling. A waiter may have a flexible schedule, but there not going to worry about checking there work emails.

It's really a problem with always being available, a 9-5 worker that checks there e-mail every night is going to have the same issues.
ReadandSearch.com is a place for "thought proccess". You can write an article about anything and other people can comment or change your statements. At the end, we will have a collective work of people on some cases, which is pretty important we think.

Or you can share the story you've written, you can share one page of a book everyday, we accept anything related with knowledge.
This is intentionally vague to the point of being dishonest. Take this quote:

> They asked about my whereabouts that involved this co-worker, all of which happened outside the workplace. I asked why these events mattered, and they told me that an issue has been brought to their attention in such a way that is has entered the workplace, and thus is now a workplace matter.

So something happened outside of the workplace with a co-worker, they aren't saying what, and HR got involved. HR said "stay away from this person inside of work" (paraphrasing). They they tack on this:

> If this co-worker wasn’t my friend at the time and wasn’t friends with my other friends, this could have been simple to follow.

And then:

> However, one evening in late July, we found ourselves walking home at the same time. I took this as an opportunity to bring up the HR issue raised last month.

And then:

> A week later, I sent a text to this co-worker asking if the HR issue was followed up on their end.

I just stopped reading at that point. I don't know why this person posted this if they're going to try and hide the core facts. They're clearly framing this story to make Google into the bad guy (and I legitimately don't know who they "bad guy" is since we lack too much information!).

The whole tone of this article irritates me since it feels so carefully worded politi-speak and half truths.

From working in co-working spaces, I've met a lot of freelance people, and some people have it worked out. Set hours, strictly observed. The same days and hours each week, whatever they may be, and then life can be planned.

It's very easy to slip into 'flexible' hours when doing freelance, which can often mean working all day, any day of the week, not taking proper breaks, for weeks on end.

I've done that, felt awful for long periods, and needed time to recuperate afterwards. My body gave me a lot of signals to communicate that this wasn't good for me. I overheard another guy in one office who was doing similar hours to me, telling his Dad on the phone that he was sleeping really badly, a problem he hadn't suffered from before.

And of course that made perfect sense.

Thanks for the explanation - maybe I'll give it another try. I am totally open to quirky JRPGs. I think I was just measuring this one against Chrono Trigger (another quirky JRPG for the uninitiated, which oozes charm) - which I went into with a skeptical attitude and 10 minutes later was completely drawn into the story and felt like some kind of magical child. Didn't have the same experience with my 15 minutes of Earthbound, but maybe I just needed to give it a little time.

If HR tells you "if XYZ happens, you're fired" it's time to look for a new job.
Agreed, like that name 'tech dividend'!

The rest depends on the definition of 'contribution'. A grandmother involved in raising grandkids is a significant contribution that is uncompensated at present. We could fix things like that. Definitely room for improvement in our antiquated economic system.
How Super Smash Bros Became an International Phenomenon
IP stacks have been fine for many years. There was some problems years back where some ISP's networks would have really crap internal IPv6 connectivity, so IPv4 routes had much lower latency than IPv6 - but that was mainly bad network design and operation.

All major operating systems have what's called 'happy eyeballs' algorithms to pick the best path for each connection. Apple updated theirs last year and reported that with most networks they tried, IPv6 was selected as the preferred option ~99% of the time it was available[1].

The guy parroting in the article is really annoying.

In the other side, this is again a problem of uneducated consumers. People don't know currently what mean concepts like bread or milk. Seriously the real taste of milk is totally different to the watermilk/waterchalk that we drink currently. You buy cheap and by unknown brands, you'll have a cheap product.

I can't talk by Italy, but in Spain this is a serious market. If some brand would be tempted to sell fake olive oil mixed with other oils as pure virgin olive oil directly to the final consumer [1] the competence, consumer's associations and the government would eat it raw in five minutes. Olive oil sold to consumers can not contain sunflower and of course not the infamous canola oil. The idea to mixing rapeseed and olive oils and selling it as pure olive oil will be outrageous in Spain.

We need to remember that in 1981 more than 20.000 spaniards where poisoned by scammers selling fake canola oil. Many died and other suffered permanent nervous damage for the rest of their lives. It was a really bitter lesson and the market is strongly regulated since then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Spain_rapeseed_oil_toxici...

[1] Everybody can expect to have sunflower oil, palm and also canola in their favourite brand of potato chips or cookies, but is advertised as vegetable oils. You can mix olive oil with other edible oils as long as you tell the consumer what is eating and we do not joke about it; Pepsico was fined in 2003 for fake advertising with a brand of 100% olive oil fried potato chips. Other company quickly unclosed that the real content of olive oil was the 2%, brought the brand to trial and won.
The real appeal of skilled heisters is that their work is entirely about skill.

A thief must be good at his job, assuming he gets away with it. He must be clever, deft, nimble, witty. He must make a plan, lead his team of bandits, and do so effectively even if the plan changes. In short, he's one step from being a hero, and that one step is easily waved away by those of us who love to hate the rich (and who doesn't want to be Robin Hood?).
Yes, especially since I've heard horror stories about Uber drivers one-starring customers for not carrying cash.
>"You give them something tangible and clearly valuable, and they give you a vague promise on something you can’t see, and can’t even check if anyone has ever received."

Nice analogy and all, but I find the condescending and disdainful tone towards a widely practiced religious act inappropriate.

A Peek at the Year Ahead in Tech
I want an employer to fulfill the responsibilities that go with employing a human being. That doesn't mean not firing anyone ever, but it does mean following a process, giving them access to (union) representation, and (in cases of simple poor performance rather than gross misconduct) giving them an opportunity to improve before firing them. If you just go by raw customer ratings, what prevents e.g. racists/sexists/homophobes from deliberately getting people fired?

If GM feels like their cars are built for high-impact driving that Lyft drivers do, I think it's a fantastic idea to integrate some resources into that.

The article also mentions they get access to the software, so they could potentially find out what brands are preferred in certain areas, or what areas are harder on which cars.

This just seems like such a smart move for GM.

15 years ago, freshly employed, less than 25 years old, introverted and socially awkward, I had a work colleague as well to which I wrote a romantic poem (for her, more or less out of the blue).

This. Unions might be helpful here depending on how they work in your country, but this story is so vague that I got the feeling that HR actually did their part. Sure sucks to loose your job, but if you are given restraints and disregard them, well what do you expect to happen?

The subdomain is probably the issue. Suggest updating it to strip out subdomain, query string, hashes etc and do a domain and path comparison. Too many sites have a mobile subdomain with the rest of the domain the same.
I think that's the value of Uber: to stir things up and force the whole city - government and citizens - to evaluate whether these rules still make sense, often many decades after they've been passed.

If the city decides they do, they can simply keep Uber away just like Frankfurt and others did.

But for example: if the restriction is based on clean-air initiatives, why does it apply to EVs? Why do we have fixed spots for taxis to wait for fares, when we know can cheaply and easily call them up from anywhere?
