Lets not forget extra expenses that you can't opt out of. You can technically opt out of cell phone and internet, but for me I wouldn't be able to be on call for work so no job. Not to mention how much modern society has shifted to assume everyone has these luxuries. Then there is various forms of insurance. It used to be, if car insurance was too high people could opt out, now your only choice is to opt out of driving (not possible except in some cities). Oh, and that 30 year mortgage you took out? Requires house insurance. Which was $300 a year (on a $180K house) just a few years ago -- now it is over $1600 on the same house (with a market value of $130K). But I can't cancel it, because mortgage requires it. Now the place you work at (which was a 5 minute drive) decided to consolidate to corporate headquarters 30 miles away. Let's not even mention what happens if you need surgery (even with good insurance).
It literally is what I said. I'm unsure what you're reading.

"$40 a year is obscene for what they offer IMO". Please feel free to show me the exact time I said "Paying $40 a year for any type of software is ridiculous".

I would care if my coworkers were bigots, and I would especially care if they were prejudiced against me, how can you effectively work with someone who doesn't respect you? Pretending bigotry doesn't exist is the same thing as pretending that race/sex aren't visible. You will also have to apply the same affirmative action when promoting people, as a couple of years work experience doesn't erase the generations of privilege you're competing with.

I never said that minorities can only be hired by applying insufficient scrutiny. What I will say is as a group, minorities can only be hired in a proportion that is different to the proportion of minorities in group of qualified applicants if some weighting is taken off the job relevant qualifications, and applied to their membership in minority groups.

If you could come up with a huge list of entirely fungible, interchangeable resumes and interview notes, you could consciously pick minorities first without harming the quality of your recruiting.
What kind of roles would have that weak of a job market though?

If candidates aren't fungible weighting any importance to race/sex means taking some weighting off something else, and it means that bigots will assume individuals from minority groups are less qualified, because of the fact that the group as a whole is less qualified, because of your own policies. It perpetuates both inequality and bigotry.

The peasants were actually, legitimately being oppressed. Someone rose up to fight a good fight and ended up saying (as a well known someone in these circles frequently says) the non oppressed group should be killed. Yep: it's pretty Stalinist.

Reading Erlang is really nice partially because all variables are capitalized (enforced by the compiler). You know immediately which parts of the code are what.

It actually drives me a little nuts that I can't do the same thing in Elixir (compiler enforced lowercase) because so much of the code looks the same.
Thanks, good idea. I read it. To me it seems saturated with the insidious mutant form of racism and sexism that I've been very worried about.

Risk neutral model selection. In general, if your model has too few parameters, it doesn't capture some features, and if it has too many, it overfits. In statistics, the balance between fit and model parsimony is achieved by information criteria, like Akaike. There is nothing similar for risk neutral models. How do you choose between a one factor Vasicek model and a 10 factor Cheyette with stochastic-local volatility and time-dependent mean-reversions? Currently it's much closer to an art than to a science.
All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. The reason why this narrative is doing so well is because they've scared everyone else into ducking for cover instead of speaking up. If we don't fight back, we are surrendering to this tyranny.

History doesn't have to play out in any one way. Our culture of individualism and freedom is not guaranteed to survive. It is on each generation to preserve it for the next. When they asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution would create, he said "a republic, if you can keep it." We can't win every battle, and we can't win the war if we don't choose our fights, but we must fight to win.
No, it would not. If the detainee is already injured this is a way of cataloging what their problems were on arrival. The photos were not used for propaganda nor do they appear (at least those I looked at) to be an effort to humiliate.

Allegations are cheap to make and are common of all detainees, whether from a war zone or the 2nd precinct. That does not make them all true (or false).

Without any context for each photo (and subject of the photo) there is no way for you, me or anyone to determine what was abuse and what was not.
I'm all for efficiency but based on my experience reading the code people write, the last thing we need is getting them to type faster. I'd prefer if some people slowed down a whole heck of a lot to think more about what it is they're doing.

You are assuming this worker is hireable by other companies. Most of the body shops train people in a very specific and often obscure technology and they cannot work as general software engineers. e.g. my cousin was trained in COBOL and while he was smart enough to develop other skills, most of his co-workers did not. They are tied to the job. Many are even grateful simply for the opportunity to 'come to America'.

Your idealism is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt.

There's plenty of work for everyone. No need to call what other people do "trivial" or demean them for not "automating" something after having done it once.

FWIW, automating something can easily be a job orders of magnitude more difficult than doing the original job. It might require capabilities and resources which far exceed what is available at the organization.

Moreover, automation is a complicated continuum of solutions. If you're talking about REAL WORLD computing problems more complex than can be handled by a bash script, NO, you don't automate after solving a problem once.
Anyone who cares what their friends and other people they've chosen to follow have to say over random strangers would want to use their timeline for that.
Mid-level web student here.

I've read several HTML/CSS books and gone through half a dozen courses. I'm comfortable with your basic HTML/CSS page, have a basic handle on Javascript (assuming I'm not doing anything more complicated than using getElementById to change some attributes on a click), and I can use jQuery/Bootstrap when I need to.

Right now the biggest hump for me is figuring out how to make mobile-friendly sites WITHOUT resorting to a framework. I feel like the vast majority of books or e-courses right now will go the following route:

1) Teach basic HTML/CSS for barebones basic and legacy pages

2) Introduce HTML5 syntax

3) Briefly show how to do a "pure" mobile-friendly page using
viewports, flexbox, and media queries.

4) Spend fifteen minutes on the above, and then say, "But that's too much work. So now we're gonna use Bootstrap and never do Step #3 again!"

That above has happened consistently, and it disappoints me. I can do Bootstrap, but frankly I hate writing it. I feel like I have to go five or six div's in deep before I'm actually writing any text that's going to be visible to the end-user.

I'd really like to find more resources on making a mobile-friendly webpage that doesn't rely on Javascript to resize itself. In particular, I've got a few webpages that I built as past projects or coding exercises that I otherwise think look fine, and I'd like to figure out how to easily retro-fit them so that, say, the images don't stretch more than 100% of the screen width without having to rewrite the entire page using jQuery.

Anyone have any suggested resources for building mobile-friendly pure HTML/CSS sites?
This could be SO easily circumvented. Just open an office in another location (a subsidary, perhaps) and have it do the hiring at the prevailing wages at that location.
This is kinda cool.
>If money is the problem, then the solution is not to engage in petty social democratic welfare reforms, but to end the monopoly on currency and allow for communities and individuals to coordinate savings-investment decisions and account for their local capital using the denomination of currency that they have decided to create.

Has that worked ever? Are the people of Flint say supposed to fix things by issuing their own currency?

Heh, ok, I missed the 20002. I dunno, if any institution hangs around that long (including some form of www hosting for the OP), maybe Stanford has a chance, if not a copy of wikipedia or Knuth's books.
Unless it's something like this:
http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/chem...
Then how about the examples where people have been banned from sites like Twitter because they offended people, and one of the offended individuals had 'friends' at the company? Or when people nearly got blacklisted from industries because a couple of people hated their political views? Or perhaps a certain portion of the media's attempt to sweep under the rug any bad behaviour by groups they consider 'disadvantaged'. Or a willingness for certain social media sites to ban people and delete content for mentioning those negative issues.

A lot of this isn't boycotting. It's trying to kick someone off a large portion of the internet because they said something you don't like by pulling strings or falsely reporting their work as 'illegal'. It's trying to remove 'wrongthink' because your political narrative crumbles the minute it's put under any scrutiny.

There's definitely an interest in censorship there. Double so on college campuses and some other such areas.

Regarding diversity issues, it is interesting to go back and look at this interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, from 1972. What I find worrisome is that the conversation is still being discussed in 2016. For all the progress in technology, there are some social issues that change only very slowly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5lMxWWK218

What has changed is that some corporations now have formal programs in place to try to make progress on diversity issues. But the resistance to progress on this issue is remarkable.
Actually, (orthodox) Marxian economists would likely be opposed to full employment policy and welcome an increasing reserve army of labor since in Marxian theory it's met by a rising organic composition of capital (ratio of "constant capital," i.e. capital goods to "variable capital," i.e. wages and supplementary funds), which in turn entails a fall in the rate of profit as labor is substituted in favor of machinery, and an eventual breakdown in the accumulation of capital.

That said, Marxian economists have evolved significantly and a lot of them have since converted to some form of Post-Keynesianism.
It depends on a couple of factors. Personally I always write subtraction as "x - y", so I never have any issues. Also, if undeclared variables are a compile-time error, the compiler will (probably) complain loudly about "x-y". So you can fix that quickly and easily, it's not too bad.

The one error that might be problematic depending on the language's semantics is if you write something like "x.y-z" intending to subtract "z" from "x.y", but in fact you are going to get the "y-z" property of "x". I must say that in Earl Grey you'll unfortunately end up with "undefined" as the result of that expression (saner languages would raise an exception on a missing property). I have never had that issue in practice, but then again, I always space subtraction.

Most cursor glitches end up being a mismatch between hardware-drawn cursors and software-rendered. Turning the trails on forces Windows to draw the cursor in software, which puts the cursor much earlier in the graphics pipeline and makes it much more accessible to other things like f.lux or apparently Fusion's integration.
It's lighter.

Definitely entryism, considering Github even has their own race gestapo (their 'social impact team') which made it "very hard to even interview people who are 'white'".

Apparently this is a norm for management of today's GitHub.
Everyone has some level of bias. The best thing you can really do is try and counter your own bias when you notice it. In most jurisdictions not hiring someone based on racial or unfair judgements is illegal. Trying to change workplace culture away from meritocracy for the sake of diversity might sound noble and well intended, but just as 'meritocracy is a lie', so is diversity in that sense.

Hiring people based on how much diversity they provide based purely on their gender, race, etc is prejudice in itself, even if well intended.
Meh, I think we need to fork github. Gitlab supports the same nonsense github does.
"Apart from the introduction of ICBM’s, MIRV’s and SLBM’s since 1959, and the number of countries participating in this MADness…has anything else really changed, other than the time it would take to blow us all to Kingdom Come?"

In a word: yes. The targets have changed rather dramatically. Regardless of where they sourced their data, their targeting and their location of launch facilities are extremely outdated. The fields in Missouri, for example, are entirely decommissioned. A long time ago. The entire land based missile strike capacity of the United States lives in three areas: the Wyoming-Nebraska-Colorado border intersection, Montana, and North Dakota (though some of ND has been decommissioned). The vast majority of Russian missiles are, in most strategic scenarios, considered to be targeted at these locations The maps for the silo locations can be found here, here, and here:

http://w3.uwyo.edu/~jimkirk/warren-mm.html
http://w3.uwyo.edu/~jimkirk/minot.html
http://w3.uwyo.edu/~jimkirk/malmstrom.html

The United States has also become much more reliant on strategic submarines for missile delivery, depreciating the role of the bomber force.

As for targeting in the US, here is a state by state guesstimate based on known military targets back in the late 80s. http://www.ki4u.com/nuclearsurvival/states/ A lot has changed since then -- for one thing, both sides have less missiles, hence have less targets. But there are still more than enough to 'get the job done' -- I can't find the articles any more, but I recall reading a NYTimes or WaPo long form story about the topic from the mid 2000s that mentioned that pretty much every incoming new president, even the hawkish ones like George W Bush, is flabbergasted when he is briefed on the SIOP (now rennamed), as the plan has such a need to find ostensibly military targets for missiles that some of the missiles end up targeting things like railroad crossings.

Anyhow, all that aside, that's a pretty cool animation. Personally it doesn't really trip the nostalgia meter for me, as there was something really 80s about the vector-graphics look of Wargames that doesn't seem to translate here. But hats off to the developer all the same.

Ok. I guess I fully agree with it then ;p
Whatever you are developing has no value until someone actually uses it. Therefore the quicker you can confidently release something(feature, bugfix, etc), the more value you gave deliver.

This will be painful for many people seeking privacy and security. But still, they would be better off if forced to use more private payment methods. For now, Bitcoin is commonly accepted, and not all that hard to use. And in many places, online payments can be funded through cash deposits at convenience stores etc. Such payment methods also reduce fraud exposure for providers.
its opinion at mine
First, there is no such thing as 'reverse descrimination'. Descrimination is descrimination, no matter who it is aimed at. Assuming that only specific classes of people can be subjected to negative prejudice based on superficial characteristics such as race/gender/creed is dismissive and a clear sign of ignorance.

Second, I'm all for leveling the playing field when it comes to education and building community. By which I mean, multicultural communities not 'stick with your own, fuck the other guys' communities.

I went to school at one such community and it deeply saddened me when I left because the same degree of diversity can't be found anywhere else. Ironically, the military (ie USMC) is probably the closest I've found to a true, 'not just for the photo op', diverse community that doesn't explicitly try hard to be. The difference there is, everybody is American first and individuals have the courage to stand up for each other in the face of injustice.
it's opinion of master
Issuing of local scrip had some success in Wörgl, Austria during the Depression era (being praised by Irving Fisher, who advocated such a "stamped money" scheme), though the experiment was cut short quickly.

Granted, issuing currency is not a magical bullet for misallocations in real capital. Though it just might speed up the process of finding new complementary uses of it. Political constraints like being vetoed by a higher authority still exist.
This is a great example of "lines of code" being prioritized over the actual program itself. I suppose it's neat that he abused style to shrink a program to three lines, but it's not really meaningful.

I do think the program itself is pretty neat and never would have thought of using the word list for hangman.
"Turning into a red light" - lack of markings is coupled with removal of traffic signs and different road and sidewalk designs. Turning a blind corner in this setting is the equivalent of closing your eyes and stepping on the gas, there's a huge chance it will end up badly, whereas with stop lights drivers think there is "enough time" assuming everyone else is paying attention to the rules.
I explained this in another post about paypal. Basically, paypal has a monopoly on international transactions for Americans. I ended up switching to Bitcoin, but not everyone is able to do that.

Just curious - have you guys used the hadoop contrib stuff with Luigi? We use it almost exclusively to kick off Hadoop jobs and when I went to refactor some of my predecessors stuff that just kicked off a raw process that called 'hadoop jar' to the hadoop contrib stuff, I ran into a lot of weird issues (largely, the way arguments get passed to the hadoop job).

Just was curious if many other people were using the hadoop contrib stuff successfully, or if I am trying to use something that isn't very well supported.
My guesses: OOP-style JS and translate3D CSS for moving the objects around.
Good write up. We've been pretty happy with Luigi, but built-in scheduling would be really, really nice, so going to have to take a look at Airflow.
In addition, faster releases can also reduce sunk costs. For example, if you release new features in stages, you can correct course quickly from the beginning based on actual user use/feedback instead of spending months building up something that may not meet actual needs.
If you can stand a lot of pain long enough. If the dog is determined and has jaw muscles and bones enough to crush your arm you might not be able to focus even enough through the pain to hit the dog even once. My gentle mixed breed refuge (who is roughly the same size as the dog depicted for this story) dog uses his back molars through rapidly bite through bone (and he just splits the few big dog Kongs we tried in half to get the food out) and that is when he is not angry or hungry; when angered I think the splintering of your arm would be enough to make you drop your stick in the other arm's hand.
