We think a lot of companies know that great candidates aren't found through overkill when it comes to requirements and that you need some flexibility. In general though, our matching algorithm relies on what the company sets as essential skills. This way, we're able to filter out applicants who are entirely unqualified while leaving it up to the hiring company to decide if you're a good fit for an interview. If you have the right skills, and its apparent in your profile, the company will see this when they take a look in the talent pool for the job. But over time, our AI will suggest core skills for job postings through comparison to who was hired for similar jobs on our site according to the skills they had.
can we not financialize everything in the entire world? that seems like a great way to make extra work for brokers, traders, gamblers, accountants, and lawyers. I'm not convinced that this gets anywhere near the goal of making it easier to have sustainable business relationships between creators and their audience.
Because the edge cases are well known to be horribly, poorly managed by individual finance. Because they instill a tremendous discrepancy on the propensity of individuals to thrive in given socioeconomic conditions, they are the exact kinds of things we should be doing our hardest to remove from strict capitalism.

The first world has already moved on to socialized medicine precisely for this reason. Besides health expenses, the circumstantial costs of differing degrees of needs satisfaction are much less varied - they effectively just become approximated by the regional costs of food and shelter.

Luxury goods are brought up because we are talking about after base needs are fulfilled, and predicate the discussion on the basis that, one, the US is barbaric in its lack of comprehensive medical access to its people, and two, the edge cases where money can still buy you better care once you migrate away from allocating medicine based on ability to pay rather than need are extremely rare, and while still being a problem, don't predicate the whole discussion.

Basically, anyone sanely arguing for any of the socialist principals around happiness thresholds or sane taxation are starting from the presumption that negative externalities of environment like health problems out of the control of the individual need to be collectively accounted for rather than individually, and to do otherwise - as is the case with Steve Jobs liver transplant - is unethical. Primarilly because while we may have a shortage of liver transfer candidates today, the fact that demand for liver transplants comes from having wealth rather than need for replacement livers is certainly stymieing research into growing livers for transplant, as is the case with most organs needed for transplants. The capitalistic nature of medicine and the predisposition of those in need of it to have the least to pay for it contributes to why we have dozens of viagra-esque medicines with billions going into research for whatever the billionaire class might want medically while essential research in edge problems, especially chronic lifelong debilitating diseases like Parkinsons, is crippled by a lack of profit potential because the sufferers are often destitute or dying.

I suspect those users do care about freedom. The issue is that most people view a computer as just a tool to do work, not a political statement. The concept of software freedom make little sense to most people, and for good reason. The FSF would do well to focus less on the ideology, and more on providing a better user experience for non technical people.

The other issue is the concept of "free software". No matter the claims, when the term free is applied to a product (or product class) like software, the immediate implication that the price is free. The "free as in free speech" doesn't work too well because speech is not a product. Also, Windows doesn't exactly stop me from doing questionable activities, like authoring documents that would be considered subversive.

Telling people that Windows takes away their right to view and modify the source code will at best give lukewarm response, because most people have other concerns.
Most of the people who "get lost in the First Amendment" are those who get stuck on "freedom of speech" and forget the entire "freedom of assembly" part.

That's the one that says you aren't forced to include people you don't want to include. It's the reason why a private club can legally exclude Jews.

The objections I raised all had to do with including that aspect of the First.

What are the best CD practice for infrastructure? Especially when you have to deal with commits which only need to be in one environment, or commits which need to be in all environments?
I never have to "look at the next line and reason about it" -- you simply do not find yourself in a position very often of starting a line with an open brace. I'm not going to list all of the little reasons why I found it more enjoyable and easier to omit the semicolons. If you're interested, try it on a project yourself. Suffice to say, I found several cases where my life was just easier. Here's just one, from the very top of a file. It's easier to add another import to this list:

Politically well connected Corporations "defraud."
True, but a) the chance of an event warranting evacuation (or even perceived as such) over lifetime of a nuclear reactor is negligible, and b) somehow this problem was solved for chemical plants, factories, coal plants, etc.

Yes, reversing the radiophobia will take a lot of work, political and otherwise, but realizing that it's the only real thing that blocks nations from building nuclear plants is a good start.

Thanks for taking the time to write out your experience - mine was very similar. Submit as close to genre basis as possible, wait, and then get the rejection. Because I'm on the prolific side, averaging a 3-5 song EP about every 2 months, I do feel like I should be trying again and again. They can afford to be picky, which okay, good for them, it helps the 'curated' experience. I'll keep trying (especially with my newer stuff which features vocals) for Pandora but still only see it as one component in a diverse distribution portfolio.
I find that hard to believe when they have the largest listener database and the smallest "song" database. When compared against the competition.

What is the purpose of the backlog of deploys?

For example, let's say 50 commits all land on master within the same second. Why break those into many deployments stretched across hours instead of deploying them all in the next event?

If you landed a bad commit in the middle of that 50, it seems like it might not be immediately obvious once it was deployed that it was bad - and then 5 or 30 minutes later another commit is deployed on top of it.

You might not notice a problem until hours after all of the commits have been deployed, which leaves you in the same situation as if you had deployed all 50 changes in one event, but in this model those 50 commits have been stretched over a much longer period of time between commit and liveness to users.

I've used Codecademy to get started with programming in general--is there some similar website teaching C++?
F=ma

In this case m ~ 1 gram and a = 0.2c / 120 seconds =499654.097 m/s^2

F = 499654.097 m/s^2 * 1 gram = 500 newtons

However this force is distributed over the whole sail which has an area is 16 m^2, so pressure applied to the sail is 500 N/16 m^2 = 31.25 pascals. This is a fairly low pressure. The pressure change going up or down a couple meters is about equal to this. Your typical cheap garbage bags can withstand this pressure.

> I believe solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc, can provide the power we need in this world.

Well, it hasn't. Countries like Germany and Japan which have moved away from nuclear are now sipping Russian gas and oil, all of which is controlled by a territory hungry autocrat who uses his pipelines for political control. This is better than running your own nuclear power and having energy autonomy? Polluting the air with burned hydrocarbons? Ask Ukraine how much it enjoys not having energy autonomy.

We keep coming to this argument, and no one seems to listen. Right now, the rational alternative to nuclear is hydrocarbons, not renewables. Renewables are many decades away from providing this as energy density, storage technology, and cost are not here yet.
Bigger question might be why record companies still exist in such a similar form to when they were first introduced/at their most powerful?. I'm starting to think that they might actually be a necessity, whether it comes to them offering:

- Marketing/Promotion

- Distribution

- A barrier to entry for new artists

I've wonder why a service that just let people sell their own MP3s and albums (+/- streaming) on the internet is not enough (assuming the other things a record company offers were split up and handled by other focused companies).

My overly optimistic side thinks it's just a matter of no one having built a service that is transparently, obviously, and enforcably out to do nothing but enable musicians to distribute their own material and profit, but skeptical me is well... skeptical.

It's such a nuanced conversation, I wonder if there are any correspondences between someone from tech and someone from the music biz that I could read.
Fool me once...
Ah ha... Now I understand why they pulled Messenger out of the core FB app. So they could badger people for a year to install an intrusive application (or never be able to read those notifications the FB app keeps sending you without firing up a web browser) that would ultimately be leveraged as a B2C marketing platform.

> To net it out for you: the disaster never would have happened if they had built it on higher ground. And that fact should have been obvious when they did tsunami planning.

Yes, and the next disaster "will never have happened if (insert other reason)". It's always easy to point out obvious mistakes after the fact.

Nothing is black or white, but Fukushima happened in an advanced country and to me this shows it can happen anywhere. Doesn't mean we should panic and shut down all plants today, but I think in the long term we should try to transition to other more controllable forms of energy.
Education and the brain: what happens when children learn?
That article is highly non-specific about trends over time.

I found some more specific numbers for Ireland: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/the-gender-gap-in-e...

1961: 63% female, 2011: 74% female

Clearly the trend that you claim, but hardly a staggering rate of change. Meanwhile, my searches still turn up articles complaining that school administration is male-dominant. I'll be frank: I don't think you have anywhere near enough evidence to make the claims (about causes) you're making.
Tired of seeing this article pop up. It really comes off as a "public shaming" of react-router's maintainers. This is not how OSS should work.

That's not why I went to college. I went to learn engineering, and I did, and I enjoyed it.

In a word, baloney. I got a great deal out of college, far more than I would have with self-study. I know that people claim you can learn math on your own, but I've never encountered one who did. Not in 40 years of working with engineers.
Since I wrote that the estimate of the number of deaths caused by the evacuation itself has gone way up and so the overall Fukushima disaster killed something like 5 times as many people as a coal power plant's normal operation.

I'm sure many people were. I've come across many articles that contradict this article. Here are just a few. Mind you, the findings are mixed (but many articles agree that women under 30 are earning more if they aren't written by a feminist).

I've talked a number of times about the feminising of education and how it disadvantages boys detrimentally. I even saw it in action at some open days at schools where presenters talked as if boys didn't exist. I'm not surprised that this war against boys is having a huge impact in the workforce and disenfranchising a generation of young men.. For what? Political Correctness.

I'm honestly tired of hearing this 20% wage gap figure with no evidence. I'm tired of domestic violence being a man thing (despite the US and Australia both reflecting a 20-25% incidents of mothers being the perpetrators). I was infuriated when my open visit to schools made it clear they openly bias education and especially sciences towards girls. WTF is wrong with today's society? Are people this prejudiced and proud of it?

Until people take a hard stand against feminism, propaganda pieces like this article (from a website educated to sexism) will drive education and law makers to actively discriminate based on gender. It's no accident one on my kids got asked to write an essay again on "can a girl do anything a boy can?" While he's never been asked the reverse.

Thanks so much for your comment! You are right, there is a mathematical component to process improvement which makes the proposed solution possible. Storytelling alone cannot foster improvement, however, storytelling is all the user will need to know how to do. By simply explaining the story of how the process currently works, the user can enlist the software to (1) translate the story into a process model using natural language processing to workflow diagram. From there, (2) artificial intelligence based on best practices and other process improvement business rules can determine how efficient that model (based on the original story) is. Then, (3) a recommendation or set of several recommendations for how the user can update the story/process can be given by the tool.

I talk a bit more about how the two (storytelling and artificial intelligence) can play a very big role in process improvement and business process management in this article:

One of the projects I contribute to requires emoji in the commit messages and I got tired of remembering of typing out :white_check_mark: when I really wanted to write :tests:

So I wrote this little app that takes strings like :tests: and allows the user to map them to GitHub emoji.

I would love some feedback on the code or just general suggestions on features, etc..
Ok, so I think we agree this was an "obvious" mistake. Given that "obvious" mistakes occur, should one consider using technologies with catastrophic failure modes?
As a discovery tool Pandora's value is debatable.

Curation works better than recommenders.

To my great surprise, I continue to discover new acts, music thru the radio. Just like when I was kid.

KBCS.fm and KEXP.org have great speciality shows. They also do a good job of posting their play lists, streaming archives, linking to artists, promoting upcoming shows, etc.

I've rarely discovered new stuff from a recommender (Pandora, last.fm, whatever). Now I don't even bother.

But I do rediscover music (from my youth) via YouTube. Which is a delight.

If mining radio playlists stops working for me, I'd be willing to try something like Apple Beat's notion.

Of course you can standardize security. This means that the same authentication methods would be used across the industry, and the agents would be trained to not leak those details through social engineering, etc. It would mean that there would be standards with respect to what information tier 1 agents have vs tier 2 agents, etc, with proper separation of duties, so that poorly trained tier 1 agents wouldn't have the ability to be socially engineered.

Your method of security through obscurity simply doesn't work because hackers will figure it out and exploit impedance mismatches between vendors.
