Not discussing the bad things has the opposite effect of what people think. Most employees know that something not good is going with the company. Not discussing it makes people wonder if it's bad or worse.

If I was looking for a new job, I would apply to Keen right now, saying "Hey, I think I can help here...". As an employee inside the company I would be extra creative and incentivized to make sure everything I do has an impact.

I actually enjoy that aspect of yoga, and agree it's complementary. I'm not advocating that current practitioners or practices should change at all.

What I'm saying is that I think there's an untapped market of people in the US that would be more likely to commit to regular yoga if the spiritual component adopted traditions from Christian meditation. This is based on discussions I've had with family and friends that say they mostly enjoy yoga but find the spirituality component or 'a little silly,' off-putting, or distracting.

Many US yoga studios and instructors are not dogmatic and are quite experimental and creative in their craft. There are already a number of relatively popular disciplines that de-emphasize the spirituality and focus on the fitness component (i.e. power yoga). My belief is that as yoga continues to evolve and grow in popularity in the US, some studios will reintroduce the spirituality component by fusing traditional and Christian beliefs, and that these studios will succeed in reaching a broader audience.

The U.K. is a constitutional monarchy. There is no concept of "we the people" bottom up delegation of power to form a government; it's top down, the people are subjects. That members of parliament are elected means the monarch's power is limited, rather than the source of the power of government and its authority coming from the people. So it's a different system than in the U.S., so when talking about traditional values don't assume western democracies are all really pretty much the same thing. There are important differences. And in this case, I expect the vast majority of British will have no problem with this kind of surveillance.

However, the company asserting it's not the surveillance branch of the government where it does business, is legitimate. Whether it'll make any difference is a separate question.

What the thought experiment tries to get at is that it is hard to predict how a super intelligence will evolve from a set of simple objectives. So far, it appears that a set of objectives is in fact necessary for intelligence.

The question is whether the AI will go crazy like a mentally ill person, if it lacks empathy and curiosity. It may seem intuitive that a superintelligent AI will understand our values (since it is superintelligent), but, assuming intelligence is necessarily an optimization process of predefined goals, why would it be interested in us in the slightest, if we don't pose an advantage for it optimizing its objectives (e.g. sustenance)? Worse, we might be in its way because we could end up competing with it for resources such as sunlight, carbon compounds and oxygen.

I can imagine a scenario where a user that logs into a machine and tries to read a very sensitive file that they shouldn't have access to (should only be read by sshd and a specific automation user) trips an alarm via hooks in SELinux or something similar that causes the host to shut down immediately and security admins notified. It should just outright deny it I'd argue instead of shutting down, but I've seen really weird security policies before that make little practical sense and wouldn't be too surprised if someone created an IDS enforcement policy similar to this.
I agree with most of your analysis. That said, between the time the telephone was invented to the time encrypted email was invented, we had a rather prosperous and progressive period during which there did not exist a convenient means of communicating over long distances the government could not access with the appropriate process. I think the whole system is more robust than you give it credit for.
I get what you mean, but I feel like sometimes it's important to just stop if you're repeatedly failing at something. I often find that taking a break (stopping trying for a bit) gives my subconscious time to breathe and figure out what my conscious brain couldn't.
Actually, scientifically, one queue for all registers is the superior solution. It reduces wait times for customers in general vs. one queue for each register (where one of the lines might get stuck for a long time). That's why you find banks and other places are all setup to have one queue used by all the clerks. The only real problem with H&M is that they haven't put stuff in the way of people forming multiple lines when keeping them in one line is the best practice.
It's not feasible to have validations centralized. You don't validate objects, you validate data that your system received from somewhere. How it's done depends on the type of this external system, the format and sometimes the context in which you validate, that is specific to your system. This is one of the reasons why AR validations don't scale so well.

Having said that, there are many systems where AR and centralized validation works just fine.
So I wouldn't advocate abusing this, but...

If you have a Freshbooks account and you use it for sending your clients invoices, Freshbooks has recently partnered with a company called Fundbox which provides advances on your outstanding invoices. I'm not sure what kinds of qualifications you may need to be offered this service (not sure if account age or previous activity plays a role, I've used Freshbooks for a long time before this advance service was put in place), but any invoice under $1K is typically available for an advance immediately.
Repayment is on a weekly basis and the fee is rather reasonable compared to the payday loan and title loan services you see advertised to "help" the desperate.
You can add anyone as a client with nothing more than a name and an email address and you can send them an invoice instantly. The account set up for Fundbox is literally just connecting your bank account for them to ACH to you (inbound is about 2 days) and for them to automatically pull their weekly payment out. And, you can repay the entire loan at any time with no penalty.

My comment was actually an argument - that the cost of drugs is necessary to fund their development. Your comment was just stating that you disagree, with no argument.

It's certainly interesting that Europe has more drug companies headquartered there. Though that doesn't necessarily mean all their operations and revenue are in those countries, but whatever.

It's irrelevant because Europe still has a patent system and still sells drugs to the US under our system. It's not like India where any company can manufacture the drug and patents are rarely enforced.

As for university funded research being sold privately, I agree that is sad and should be illegal.
Agreed. I've been using Linux as my only desktop OS for over a decade, and if you pick the right hardware it's just great. Usually it takes a bit to get it working just right, but once you do that, a well configured Linux box with Gnome is a superb desktop environment.

In this day and age that everything is so disconnected and artificial, it's just a delight to read something like that.
Great if you live a liberal bubble and want to remove the reality that Donald Trump can likely be the next president of the United States. But, where I live, he has lots of fans including the law firm with a 10' x 6' Trump Make America Great sign hung between two trees on its lawn. He actually has some good ideas for example when he said the $2 trillion spent in Iraq could have instead been spent to solve domestic problems. We know he isn't a conservative now.
Very weird.

""Still, I appreciate this time to reflect when our confidence is shaken a bit. To be honest, we were probably overdue for it."

probably the best thing from a CEO i have ever read. That said, the bar's not terribly high--depending on the CEO, or their mood, or the circumstances, "all hands memos" are nearly always (in my experience) tirelessly optimistic propaganda with no regard for the data, or just the opposite, i.e., "sure we're doing great, but we'd be doing twice as good if you lazy bastards would stop screwing off!" This CEO actually had the courage to send to everyone, a snapshot of their thoughts at that moment. I doubt they teach this in MBA school.
You must be one of those tolerant liberals?
Are you arguing that it's my responsibility to be careful and discrete when I commit crimes that should be legal in the first place?

If both murder and sodomy are illegal to the eyes of the government, then wouldn't more accessible privacy protect both murderers and sodomists?

Clearly, the issues in the examples you describe are with the expectations of the government and its citizens. I don't want to ever have to lie about things I'm not ashamed of, and neither do I want to be ashamed of things I do. Society's foundation is Trust, and Trust starts with Honesty. We want everyone to be as honest as possible, and we should therefore change the system to motivate honesty. Only then will we have a clear picture of reality, human nature, and problems we ought to fix.

I want lying to be considered as the worst crime. I want a currency that's built on trust. I want every commitment and promises to be tracked and evaluated. I want fairness, and it starts with understanding reality.

We lie so much that we can't imagine a world without a right to it.
>> What happens in a case like this where the police are possibly suspects in a death?

Normally if someone dies while in the custody of police there is automatically an inquest as to what happened. If there's evidence of mistreatment or abuse, the District Attorney can then decide to send the case to a grand jury and let them decide whether they should charge the officers involved. The DA can also indict and charge the officers without a grand jury. In most cases, DA's send their cases to the grand jury in effect to "test" how strong the evidence is they have.

In the Ferguson case, the grand jury waded through thousands of documents and decided the conflicting witnesses testimonies and physical evidence made them decide not to indict officer Wilson for the shooting.

Even if the DA decides not to prosecute (for whatever reason), then the family can hire an attorney and file a wrongful death case (violation of constitutional rights) as a civil suit against the city. Civil cases also have a lot lower burden of proof or what we call "the preponderance of the evidence" meaning its more likely something than not something happened.

Sure, but I also don't try to re-sell a chewed stick of gum. Netflix is <$10/mo. For that you can watch hundreds of hours of TV and movies. Are you saying you would buy all of that content individually and later resell it all? Who has time for that? Never mind the losses you take in the process; you'd likely lose way more than $10 anyway.
> Also, taviso popped up ... to repeat what he said on the report, and that the policy was followed.

...does that satisfy you, or are you still dissatisfied?

> ...they either need to upload the private key, or it will have a different id...

The documentation isn't 100% clear on what that means. What I would expect to happen is that the signed code package gets re-signed once by Google's systems, the ID changes, and then -just as long as you keep uploading with the same private key- that ID will remain the same. [0]

Notice how [1] mentions that you have to point to your locally-stored private key that was created back when you locally signed your Chrome Extension to package and publish updates? That wouldn't be required if Google's systems didn't check to make sure that the key that signed the current version of the package is the same as the one that signed the previous version. [2]

If they are re-signing already-signed Chrome extensions and _ignoring_ the dev-supplied signature, then that's really nuts, super squicky, and a rather dramatic departure from the entirely reasonable model that they use in Android.

I really doubt that they're doing that. That would make dev-held keys completely useless.

> ...update the extension, but don't publicize the issue.

Ah, I missed that. I should go caffeinate. :/

So, should Google have a possibly indefinite disclosure embargo period? Or maybe just have a policy of never putting any details at all into security bug reports?

> ...it's also okay for them to remotely remove extensions that pose a security risk.

You see that that removal from the store (or -assuming that they have the power to do so- remote removal from Chrome) is entirely and dramatically different from modifying uploaded code on behalf of the dev, right?

[0] The key phrase for me here is "This different ID might be a problem if you've distributed your extension package..." (Emphasis mine.)

[1] https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging#update

[2] Or -obviously- if Google was making a show of checking, but that sort of subterfuge would be trivial to demonstrate and a huge breach of trust.
Have you worked with Redux/React at all?
>It'a quite clear after you understand semi-advanced physics that nothing could exist before the universe started.

The implicit argument here is limited to the type of things that make up the universe we can see and observe. It would be most accurate to say that the things that make up the universe could not have existed before the universe started. Philosophically speaking we can't preclude the existence of things that could be of a different type, or exist outside our own universe. It's the same problem explored in Plato's cave.
Hiding opinions of people you don't agree with is not a trait of the "left." It is a human trait. You make a lot of assumptions that this one specific developer is liberal vs. say a conservative who doesn't like Trump.

Example: You don't like Trump according to your subcomment, does that automatically make you a liberal?

6 Reasons I’m Hopeful for 2016
"Private Label" manufacture of goods is a fairly large cottage industry. Unfortunately many of the mostly fly by night home based Alibaba arbitrage schemes fail pretty hard. I've certainly purchased these off amazon ebay etc and have found they rarely stand up to the hype. For instance, I recently purchased a WooPower dual 2.4 amp charger off Amazon. Total POS doesnt come anywhere near 2.4 amps per output. I have a suspicion the 300+ reviews are fake.
