I agree completely that we tend to focus too much on punishment rather than preventing future harm.
That said, one thing that makes the airline industry unique is the binary nature of problems. If something goes wrong and the plane doesn't crash, then there's no harm to passengers so it's easier to forgo punishment.
If something goes wrong and the plane crashes, there's no one left alive to punish.
Add to that the fact that there is no possible nefarious reason for a pilot to accidentally crash a plane. A pilot can crash a plane on purpose, but if they do something stupid and the plane doesn't crash, they're likely to be believed when they say it was just a stupid mistake.
Compare to a doctor who doesn't suffer when a patient suffers (at least not physically) and in fact may even save money from certain oversights. It's much easier to assume bad intent where mistakes are profitable rather than fatal.

I would guess they missed the idea that people use muscle memory to close irritating pop-ups without trying to figure out why it's there, or what it relates to. They are then left with 2 send buttons, one with a now ambiguous microphone icon.

I'll look in to it. I have never used Docker or Ruby but RSpec looks pretty straight forward from a quick scan.
I'd be interested in jazz harmonisation of an input melody line. Not band-in-a-box level results but something that actually sounds like it was done by a competent arranger, like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eaqf-wRSx7E

It feels like it would be an achievable goal, given the right kind of training material.

Maybe hiring a session pianist for a few days to harmonise a bunch of key/tempo normalised jazz standards on a midi keyboard, so that the harmonisations and melody input are separate, labeled data?
Definitely, but they shouldn't complain when the public Internet (Cloudflare) blocks them or views their traffic differently. Anonymity comes at a price, and this is one of them. I think TOR is an important project, but this blog post by them is completely ridiculous and ignores reality.

Why should TOR get a pass on this when network operators need to protect their network from abuse? The choices are either 1) let the abuse continue or 2) try to block the specific attack traffic in question by heuristics which is often difficult or impossible or 3) block abusive IP addresses.
Because the liability is never with the customer in the first place. It's fine that you're worried, but, in reality, you don't really have to be; card gets stolen? See a charge you don't recognize? Not your problem! Call your bank, get your money back.

The one who has to fear fraudsters is not the card owner; it's the merchant! Without 3D Secure, they have to pay the money back! + an extra fine, for good measure. And, of course, the product / service is already gone.
Junk Food Is Bad for Plants, Too
Yes, we had great fun with it around the office and no careers were ruined. My manager rescheduled my 1-on-1 timeslot and used the mic drop to hilarious effect.
>You can regulate out fraud, abuse, and DDoS attacks without harming the legitimate use cases.

How? If you think this was possible without completely compromising the Tor protocol, don't you think it would have been done already?
Yes, while it's nice to learn about this, it's a lot more practical to use a library like that. Thanks for releasing your library as open source with a GPL license.

If I want to use it with the GPL license, that only means my own code using your library needs to have a GPL compatible license, right? I can use your library with my GPL compatible code to modify other closed-source or GPL-incompatible code, right? Just checking because some may view it as using a GPL plugin with GPL-incompatible program, which violates the GPL.
I've worked at Pivotal NYC for nearly 30 months.

Nobody has ever asked me.

Nobody has ever spoken about taking a test.

Nobody has announced any such policy, or even hinted at it.

Nobody has ever told me they were asked, including the candidates I have interviewed.

Your remarks are worse than hearsay.
Hah, A/B testing laws, that's terrifying and amazing. Nice.
It's probably impossible since you have to be consistent and regular even when you don't feel into it that day. Unless there's something that is always giving you chills of pleasure 24/7 for decades. Low probability.
I would start looking for a new job. There is no excuse for late payment.

And if you don't receive payment in a week, tell you them are going to send the companies details to a debt collection agency. You don't have to do it, but the threat will work.

Keep in mind that this will burn bridges. However, if a company can't afford to pay you and makes excuses (cheque is in the mail etc), perhaps it is time to burn a few bridges.

This is a very simplistic, binary view of the world. Just because the Internet's view of a product differs from the author's, it doesn't make the Internet wrong. It means the author probably needs to step back and re-evaluate things.

By your logic, gun owners would be able to shoot whatever they want. The primary purpose of a gun is to shoot things. To paraphrase: "To regulate what you can and can't shoot would go against the primary purpose of a gun and the gun manufacturers can't exist that way."
The trouble with Clouflare is that they receive disproportionate amount of attention on Hackernews. Sometimes HN feels like an extension of their marketing machine. I'm not so sure they every single blog post of their needs to be an item on HN. Anyway that's my .02 cents.

The marginal employee is the last one in a list ordered by a particular characteristic.

The marginal unit of production is the last one you can produced, or the theoretical one that you could produce next.

It is like the least significant bit of a large number. Flipping it doesn't have a very large impact.

I presume ancestor post meant "the minimally skilled laborer", which is an unskilled laborer plus the minimal amount of training. Since companies rarely train on their own dime anymore, I presume those businesses are hiring folks with a CNC machine maintenance and repair certificate from ITT Tech. That person is easily replaced.

The point is that "skilled machinist" or "machine operator" used to be a job that would give a room filled with people a middle class lifestyle. A machine shop channeled disposable income to 50 median guys, plus the owner, whereas the CNC shop now supports 9 cheap schmucks, one median dude, and 0.1 of an expensive nerd, plus the owner. The character of the business has changed to reduce labor costs, and has increased barrier to entry (CNC costs more than manual lathe, for instance) to reduce competition.

The Ford maxim still applies. You have to pay your workforce enough to buy the products that they make for you. Trade always balances. If you spend less money, there is less out there in the world for you to earn back.

This is actually a lot worse than the results recently reported by Mount Sinai in their comparison of a few dozen patients against two standard lab testing companies. I wonder if Theranos has been trying to clean up their standard tests.
Experiment | NYC | full stack engineers

We're a platform for crowdfunding and sharing scientific research. Every day one new research project gets funded, and we have a community of ~50,000 scientists and explorers.

We're a small team that's fiercely mission-driven and user focused. We frequently meets with our users to go on dinosaur digs, redwood tree-climbing survey expeditions, ocean dives, and bird banding trips with our users, because our users are scientists.

Internally, our team has this term we call "jelly", it's the special feeling you get when you're interacting with and helping our scientists, and everything kind of comes together into this cosmic bliss. I imagine it's what astronauts feel when they look at Earth from the space station.

Our stack is a mix of rails, react, backbone, postgres, redis, D3, and more. Our engineering approach is focused on automation and scale - building platform tools for the community to support themselves.

The code you write will directly affect a community of scientists making real discoveries, like this article from The Economist yesterday (http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/2169585...). We're making history by helping scientists to sequence the genomes of every single individual of this endangered bird species (there's only ~140 of them).

We're looking for people who care a lot about science!

It's very easy to say that one can filter out certain things, but in practice I think it's far more difficult. Especially in Tor's case where the goal is to provide truly anonymous access.

Do you have a proposal for filtering out that kind of traffic while allowing other traffic? I can't think of a way off the top of my head and I'm sure the people behind Tor would at least consider a logical solution.

Edit: This sounds kind of confrontational, but I don't mean it like that. I honestly would like to hear of a potential solution to this because I really can't think of one.

The main point of Tor is that nobody knows where the traffic comes from. Realize you're asking them to break their own service.

Your premise seems to be that you can't be bothered to protect your networks so you want to put that responsibility on someone else. It's called intermediary liability and it's terrible because the intermediary has all the wrong incentives.

You demand that the intermediary eliminate malicious traffic but they suffer much less than individual users if they also eliminate non-malicious traffic, so they set up a system with a high rate of false positives and harm many honest people. YouTube does this with Content ID. Spam registries do this with innocent small mail servers. CloudFlare does this with Tor.

What you're doing is called externalizing costs. It's generally recognized as antisocial behavior. So if you're going to claim benefits to yourself at the expense of other people, at least recognize that you're doing it.

Not with dense material. Often, I'll read through a chapter quickly, then go through the derivation of something three or four times until I understand it deeply, then re-read the chapter again once or twice to fully grasp it (at which point the derivation is just taking up space and I want to understand the grander scheme). Granted, I'm applying my approach to upper-division to grad-level physics textbooks, but that's the extreme I'm personally hoping to make more approachable for people.

We (try to) have a similar attitude about mistakes at our manufacturing facility. Even if the problem is employee did not follow instructions, the real problem is that the instructions were complicated, or they were only given once, or we don't have a check in place to verify the instruction was followed. Blaming people doesn't fix things.
It is better, but it's difficult to guarantee that the company will never go through a stage where a personally-guaranteed overdraft is the best option. At least in the UK these are usually jointly and severally repayable by the founders. At that point I'd far rather be the founder in my early 20s with nothing but debt than the one with the house who is going to end up homeless.
Pilots aren't the only ones who can make a deadly mistake in aviation. If a traffic controller or maintenance personnel makes a mistake, are they punished?
This is called ex post facto law, and is in fact unconstitutional in the US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law#United_State...). The interesting thing is that the whole forcing someone to lie thing could be used to create a legal catch-22 where if one tells the truth they are punished AND if they lie they are punished.IANAL, but it would seem to be a logical possibility.
At a point in the recent past, around 90% of all E-mail traffic was spam. Now it's down to around 50% or so [1]. What happened? It could have been due to thousands of ISPs simultaneously cleaning up and policing their networks. But it also could be due to blocking tools getting better. Maybe the spammers moved away from E-mail to more profitable spam channels. Or is there just more legit traffic now, and the percentage is down because the denominator is larger?

If you decide to put in a canary and then at any time after remove the canary, the only way to interpret that is that the canary died. There's no point in debating any nuance in his comment. The canary died.
I think the worst thing about this is that once you hit the button, you wouldn't get any more replies from that thread. Is this really how it worked — that Gmail essentially shut you out of subsequent replies to the conversation in a non-undoable way? (Edit: Maybe you could revive the ability to get replies by un-archiving the thread? Does anybody know?) It just makes explaining yourself in the event of a mistake (and even viewing the fallout) that much harder.

It also looks like they put the button where "Send" would normally go. Mistakes seem inevitable; this is pretty mind-boggling.

For the past year, since graduating in May 2015, I've worked as a mostly-backend software developer in the Java domain. I recently took it upon myself to move to San Francisco to be a part of the excellent tech culture this place is known for. At my last job I contributed a handful of features that used directed graphs, depth first search, and memoization at their core. I'm a passionate programmer and quick learner.
... And those smartasses who say we come descended from humans! Is that your culture and heritage? That's not my culture and heritage!
It's not just you. The concept behind that quote needs to die. Pretty much every form of paid labour is exploitation and there is a miniscule amount of humanity's needs that can be met with labour that someone would really love to spend their time doing.

I have read again both, your initial entry and my answer to it, and I stand for the content of my post.

I don't think I have misrepresent your comment. Obviously I have misrepresented your opinions but I think, after reviewing your initial post, that it's hardly my fault.

No idea what is the problem with pasting from wikipedia for making a point.

I agree that the use of "beyond naive" was not appropriate and I want excuse myself for it. I would try to avoid this kind of thing in my comments in the future.
Cloudflare literally and knowingly sucks the life out of people by consuming their time and forcing them to perform labor for free to the benefit of their business partners to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Agreed, bug can lack nuance. We have subtypes for our bugs in our tracker and try to use them liberally. Generally spec defect (as opposed to code defect) is only used when someone closes a bug "by design", at which point you say the design is wrong.
