I'm not understanding your position

> Because Cubic says the opposite

The guy showed his thing to his employer and they started pursuing it. How could it not be clearer the employer owned it?

I'm trying to understand how you can claim this shows Cubic shows anything other than if you give your ideas to your employer they become the employer's. That's pretty normal. Every day as an employee I have ideas I put into the products I create. Those ideas I get paid a salary for. I might have had those ideas while showering. They still go into my work and become the employer's.

Outside projects can have conflicts but Cubic is not related to that case.

As for companies owning everything, first off you might want to look up "duty of loyalty". Just because you thought of a solution at lunch (off hours) doesn't mean that therefore it doesn't belong to your employer. At the same time, in California at least, the has to be related to their work. Of course courts decide what's related and what's not and there's a broad spectrum. Selling coffee at night while building websites at a job seems pretty black and white. Making a mobile game at home while working on a console game at work is clearly in some kind of gray area. Back to "duty of loyalty" you have a duty not to compete with your employer. Putting out another game is arguably competing.

The right thing to do as pointed out by others is it to get a signed letter from your employer. Google offers these. So does Microsoft. I'm sure other companies do as well. If your's doesn't consider that a reason to look for a better employer.

Ah, the classic chicken & egg problem ;)

Finding awesome photographers has been much easier than we expected - by posting 'photographer needed' adverts on forums/in camera shops/in facebook groups it is easy to get a few hundred responses within a week. Over 50% then sign up because there is no fee or obligation and hey, why wouldn't you?

We don't have the website live in an open beta yet, so we don't know how much the b2c marketing will cost - we are actually focussed heavily on working with partner websites to get them to embed our JS booking widget into their websites. We are trialling with a job-platform and it is a great way for us to reach customers at exactly the 'right moment' (ie when they have the need for a photographer but perhaps hadn't fully considered it). The partner website then gets a commission from each booking, so it is a great additional revenue incentive for them as well.

So far, our customers have been really happy and word of mouth seems to work really well for getting new bookings - this was really important for us as we weren't sure that the customers would refer their friends to us at Lenzy and not just to the photographer they worked with directly. By giving our photographers a small commission on bookings we receive from their customers' referrals, we seem to have avoided the HomeJoy problem (for now).
Probably not, which is why I said "hope." I'm doing my part by working on implementations of matrix.org components myself. Obviously, I can't predict the future, but I think it's unlikely any open system will "beat" or even compete meaningfully with the big proprietary systems. It's like a small group of well meaning political activists thinking they can beat lobbyists with unlimited funds. It's an army vs a couple people wielding sticks.
I wonder how intelligent it is, since I do not feed that much data to Google Calendar, just the things I know I'm going to forget. Almost all of those empty hours in my Calendar are actually busy.

For me key was to use x,y and either sin x, sin y or x squared y squared as inputs and 5 or 6 neurons in hidden layer.
I recommend having a look at ntopng. I seem to recall that the package is available in pfSense (however it might not be available in 2.3 -- see the release notes).
I'll definitely try that out, though it is in conflict with the GTD method I'm currently practicing. In GTD, only things that HAVE to be done on a certain day or time, go in the calendar. Because else you will be constantly re-scheduling and reprioritizing.

If Google gets it right though, and your goals are perfectly prioritized, AND the algorithm makes use of contexts (e.g. I cannot fulfill goal "spend time with family" when I'm not home), then this might actually work for me. Not sure though whether I want a machine telling me what to do right now :)
I think we can agree that many users are migrating away from batch processing.
Dunning-Kruger is a hell of a drug.

Some young people are smart. Many of the successful ones, however, cannot distinguish "smart" from "lucky".

Old-timers have seen some shit. Bad management. Bad investors. Bad marketing. Bad customers. Incredibly bad economic times. Overhyped, underdelivering technologies. An awareness that picking the right technical skills to study itself is something of a crap-shoot, and ending up at the top of this heap may leave you poorly positioned for the next, or at best, stuck deciding what's worth studying.

Youth has enthusiasm.

Age has experience.
Code Formatting, or There and back again
I got a few of these (related) cameras on Aliexpress a little while back and yes, they also had the same malware. Saw it immediately as Chrome flagged it when I loaded the UI page.

There are some 'vanilla' firmware around that can be reflashed, but it's definitely not into most people's ability to reflash them.

it's too bad, it is very nice hardware, and the price is incredible...
I see her complaints about her misperceived technical competence relative to her peers as orthogonal to the sexism. I'm going to skip the sexism part because I really don't have the competence to talk about it.

First, she went to Stanford, a school absolutely BUILT on bullshit, bluster, competitiveness and social networking. I'm about as dead center of the stereotypical male engineer as it gets--and the Stanford attitude came through and sure made me cringe when looking at graduate school. UC Berkeley matched my personality much more strongly.

Second, her parents inculcated into her to care way too much about her relative competence rather than doing something interesting. This, in my opinion, is always the dividing line that separates out the genuinely good from the mediocre. When you write a website to optimize trading card game returns, who cares whether it took you 5 hours or 15 hours to write it? It does something you think is interesting, and that is good enough.

Third, it seems like being the offspring of two PhD parents that she was missing a few social survival skills that most people learn from home. To quote House: "It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what." That doesn't make people bad, but everybody has their own wants, needs, desires, agendas, etc. Everybody has to learn to deal with that at some point.

And, my thanks to that professor who made you a TA. I have occasionally, myself, had to twist the arm of a female undergraduate to become a TA, take on a programming assignment for a company, or enter a programming competition.
They forgot to mention price of trying to deploy a fleet of such devices along the coast.
Not particularly. Most of my GPU experience is with OpenCL, which does not have the OpenGL-related problems that Vulkan is supposed to solve.
Do the regs actually require an in-person visit? I thought it was just that they had to make "reasonable efforts" to identify you. I know I've opened a business account (not at SVB) over the phone, although they did ask a lot of questions.
> See, I think the "typical" usage would be your own usage.

It's your own usage only if you're the only user, which is an invalid assumption even before Tor. People aren't shy about sharing wifi with house guests. Tor takes it from "could be any of 25 people" to "could be any of 7 billion people."

But even regardless of that, why should the expected result of offering a service to the general public put you under suspicion? If you sell sandwiches you're going to end up with cash that has traces of drugs on it, even if you don't use drugs, because some of your customers or some people they transact with do. Everyone who sells sandwiches for cash will end up with population-typical cash in their possession. Which is exactly why having such cash isn't at all suspicious. It's the thing you would expect from an honest person in that situation which means it provides no utility in distinguishing honest people from criminals.

> That doesn't mean every time, but I'm not going to immediately condemn them for looking into a crime.

By what criteria do you propose that they distinguish the times they do from the times they don't, which would reasonably put the case in question in the "do the raid" category?

> I also think how the police handle it has to do with the entity they are interacting with. If it's a multi-person business in good standing, I would expect a subpoena. If it's an individual, it might be a raid, because I think the chance and capability of an individual to destroy evidence is higher.

A large super-majority of individuals work for a business in good standing. Why would they be less likely to destroy evidence at work than at home?

Actually implementing such a rule would also seem to give undue comfort to criminal conspiracies.

Would it not make more sense to issue a warrant only if the crime can be tied to the suspect with something more than an IP address known to be shared by multiple people?
The things C++ is missing include performance features. It's missing the "restrict" keyword.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrict

Some compilers offer "__restrict" or "__restrict__" in C++, but it's not standard. Standard C++ lacks the feature.

Besides "restrict", there is also the matter of theory not matching practice. The norm for C++ programmers is to be at least somewhat unaware of various extra copies and allocation. You know it's true. In practice, this makes the language slower.

I am not convinced by The Guardian's methodology. Their criterion for an abusive
comment is that it was moderated. That's fine and dandy, but then they go and
make the assumption that if:

a) a comment was abusive

b) AND it was posted under a given article

c) THEN it was abusive towards the author of the article

Based on this assumption they find a correlation with articles being written by
women and minorities, and high rates of abuse (a.k.a. moderated comments). The
assumption is a very big one to make. People in comments may just be
hurling abuse at each other. They might be trolling each other rather than the
author of the article, so their abuse may have nothing to do with the sex or
minority status of the author.

Did they check that this is not the case? They report that they did check that
the correlation was, to their opinion, statistically significant [1] but they don't
give any details of their test for this.

In general, it's true that The Guardian has a big problem with comments.
Eyballing it, most of their comments are dross that doesn't contribute anything
to any conversation, even if they're not abusive. They need to attract a better
class of commenter. They'd do well to take a page out of HN's book and implement
a self-moderation system.

Also, allowing editing of comments for a brief period might help improve their quality. Sometimes people might regret pressing "post" but have no way to retract their own comment.

> I encourage everyone to join your local political party,

The problem is: the Democratic Establishment is basically no different than the GOP when it comes to these matters. Case in point: the only reason the Carried Interest loophole is still around is because of Chunk Schumer, Democrat. He prevents Democrats from working on repealing it, and the GOP is more than happy to help him out. And Feinstein is very pro-war and pro-surveillance. And the PATRIOT Act renewal, as well as NSA's Warrantless Wiretapping getting approved, wouldn't have happened without Democrat support.

My point is: both parties are bad. We need a rational, third party with a clear agenda. I'd be happy to work on getting it off the ground, if people are interested. Start small, and slowly work your way up. Most third parties (like Independent, Green and Libertarian) just put up Presidential candidates, and don't do much else, which is ridiculous.

I do not mind offering my work under a dual choice. If you agree on a contract to never enforce any copyright or patents, for eternity, in legal and technical form, you may distribute my work without honoring the terms of GPL.

I have yet to find a person or company who would prefer those terms over the GPL. As such, I find people to be a bit dishonest when they proclaim a desire to abolish copyright but still prefer permissive licenses.
Everything is someones else's fault.

I don't have confidence in myself. Fault of society. Sexism.

I don't know how how to reject advances. Fault of men. Sexism. (BTW. How is giving anyone's a t-shirt with your name a sexual harassment? I could totally imagine a guy giving one to another guy and other than being rather lame gift, not be a big deal.)

Obviously being a guy makes it so much different, and your road to becoming an engineer is very straightforward. You're always overconfident, never shy, noone ever is mean to you, noone ever bullies you, society melted you to be a perfect human being capable of anything you desire.

It's amusing to see how woman raised in America (especially CA!), where everything is super sexist-conscious, and sometimes plain rigged in favor of girls (eg. how many boys vs girls gets drugged for ADHD, as they naturally can't stand still in the class?), still find a way to blame everything on sexism.
I just wanted to put it in the right context. There's a group of people for whom Obama can do no right; I'm not in that group. My point is: I was a strong supporter, and while I think he was better than the alternatives, I still believe that he could have done much more given the mandate he had.
Is there a way that wealth could trickle down? Are there investments that the very wealthy could pursue that would reflect in the broader economy? Or am I misunderstanding.

I do understand how hard this task is since there are plenty of rules and regulations that has to be checked. However, the process does need to change regarding to how health data is dealt with. Currently, we are still applying the same knowledge from the 90s about containing health data as if they were still in vanilla folders stored on top of a shelf. The same mindset has already cost the US $33 million dollars trying to patch a broken foundation in the health data industry. As of today, multiple hospitals already have been hacked because the lack of knowledge healthcare professionals have about the digital world. Sure, there are plenty of red tapes around this issue; however, our idea isn't to cut those tapes down but to assist the health industry to move into the digital realm without changing their production in the health field.

As for the second part of your comment, I was wondering if you can explain that more since I'm a bit confused. I got lost about the "one of the core fears the public has" to "sharing of medical information would become so streamlined." I don't know if you are saying if a centralized health database is a bad thing or not.

It's not a valid contract if they offer no consideration (they're demanding something of you but offering nothing in return). But they are a wealthy corporation with a powerful legal team and you are now unemployed, so they can count on you not being able to fight it. It's more like a threat than a contract - that they might be able to convince a court that it's a 'legal' agreement even if it's not a valid contract.

Noncompetes should be allowed only if the company offers to pay a minimum of market-rate salary for the duration (either what they were paying you or the best offer you've received, whichever is higher, to keep up with changes in market rates after you leave). That would then at least make it a valid contract.

But no company would want to do that, because then they'd have to pay everyone who quit or got fired for years afterward. And since the legal system is mostly controlled by corporations, that's unlikely.

If people are holding cash because they don't know what to invest it in then it's like it doesn't exist. It doesn't move through the economy.

Yes arq will protect you from ransomware. Time Machine will not.

both backup differences only. So with arq you just pick a backup before everything was encrypted. With Time Machine the problem is your hard drive is on the same machine that's been infected so that hard drive will be encrypted as well.

Arq doesn't have that problem since the data is in the cloud. The ransomeware doesn't have write access to that data, at most it has indirect append access since arq will start backing up the encrypted files. Which is why you'll be able to just pick a version of the backup before anything was encrypted.

---

that is until there is ransomware that checks for arq and tells it to delete all your cloud data :(

Looking for Inventory software for your business?
The issue is and always has been that company have limited responsibility to allow them more flexibility as opposed to physical persons. This isn't working when the persons making the actual decision is offloading their share of responsibility onto the company. There is a strong dichotomy with the bearing of the responsibility when it comes to economy. I am not sure we can break this habit as long as we consider that the "freedom" of having jobs is one of the most important thing in this world. Or maybe the definition of job needs to change radically. Hopefully, we will see how things pans out with the more menial jobs automation there is.
