The other advantage that LEDs have is that it's really easy to do efficient fixtures with full-cutoff (no direct uplight), since LEDs are a directional light source.

You can get that with HID sources too, but it means wrapping the whole thing in a reflector and having a flat lens on that bottom that doesn't drop below the housing: http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/albums/userpics/IM...

It's really the decorative pedestrian-scale street lights where cutoff is a problem. People like their friendly/traditional looking lanterns and glowing spheres.

Lawyer is good advice.

If it's not acceptable in the company then you should tell him to leave.

If you don't you poison your culture.

The employee now knows that she will still need to "deal with" harassment at this organization. Her outlook on the company culture will be forever changed. And she will share this experience with her friends and potential recruits forever.

Likewise the harasser will know that there are not serious consequences for unacceptable behavior and will continue to "get away with" things. He will repeat the behavior among his friends and towards future staff. They may not have the confidence to report it.

This is one of the root causes of the gender imbalance in the work place.

Harassment is never ok.

This needs to be explicit and you should work hard to build a team where there is complete trust that violations will not occur.

Arrgh!!! and yet somehow your complaint about something, which is at best mildly irritating, has generated enough off-topic commentary that I had to scroll for miles to find the useful part of this discussion which is about the article's subject matter. Right now I know what I find more annoying, and it isn't a click-to-dismiss lightbox.

Seriously though, bumping our gums about this sort of thing doesn't get us anywhere, unless it's a particularly egregious UX crime. Have a moan directly at the site owners, not the rest of us, many of whom find these posts tiresome. Or install something like u-blocker or privacy badger.

>in 30 years when I retire, there will be nothing in the communal pot.

I assume you mean Social Security. Over the last 30 years upper-to-high incomes have skyrocketed while the legal SSA-taxable income cap remains at $118,500.[1]

Reports of Social Security's imminent death are greatly exaggerated, and more often than not a part of a classic Neoliberal (1940s+ Neoliberalism, not the Clintonian/New Democrat brand) "starve-the-beast" plan to convince young people that the program is unsustainable and should be gutted so people can save a measly few percentage points of take-home income. It is a generations-long propaganda tactic that makes sense if you don't think too hard but the simple fact is that raising the cap modestly will keep Social Security solvent for a very long time.

This will inevitably conclude with your employer settling a claim of retaliatory treatment subsequent to reporting sexual harassment for a sum of +/- $500k and with you being fired. Your competent legal advisor will, accordingly, recommend against retaliating against the reporting employee, even if you consider this issue beneath your notice. The laws of the United States on this matter are relatively well-settled and they do not agree with your opinion on this matter.

Just follow the instructions exactly. If it doesn't work first time, try `sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci` and then retry `sudo modprobe facetimehd` and see if it creates `/dev/video0` (which means it's working)

For suspend, is it waking up after you close the lid? I fixed this with:

sudo -i
echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Then give it a test. If it works, pop it into a startup service somewhere.
I find all these laws around sexual harassment strange and confusing too. Where I live, it's not sexual harassment unless you grabbed somebody's ass or demand sex/sexual favors using your authority. Saves a lot of nerves for everybody. I don't see anything bad one adult person asking other adult person out and showing sexual interest in non-violent, non-demanding way and accepting "no" for an answer (as far as story goes).

EDIT: despite all downvotes, it's interesting to watch cultural differences in this situation.

I just updated my Ubuntu mail server recipe for Ubuntu 16.04 (https://www.exratione.com/2016/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-16-...). It only took a day of work to find all the holes and fall into them.

Everything core Ubuntu and core mailserver worked fairly well. The standard issue Apache/PHP 7 seems to have some odd kinks around the edges, though - at one point the only thing that worked to make it recognize a newly installed PHP module package was to restart the whole server. I have to wonder if this was something relating to systemd, but I'm not familiar enough yet to tell.

Subsidiary packages had a number of issues, but this is probably just standard PHP ecosystem raggedness at the edges for a new distribution. The Roundcube version installed via package is just outright broken due to bad symlinks, for example.

On the whole I was pleasantly surprised as to how much of a nonissue the transition to systemd was.

IANAL so talk to your lawyer first. Second write a policy regarding sexual harassement, make it sign by every employee, so it's clear this kind of behavior should not be tolerated.

The thing is if goes out of hand and for whatever reason the victim changes her mind and decides to sue you on the ground that you did nothing to prevent it you're f--cked. I've seen this before. So it's really about covering your ass and the reputation of your business. I think there are enough examples ( Github, Google ...) to prove my point.

Don't use a lawyer. Read the penal text. Make yourself an opinion. And act according to the rules and preferably use written procedures without shaming.

I don't think that rational inquiry and trolling are necessarily disjoint sets.
I agree, but "rude" and "illegal" are two different things. I have never asked my-coworker out during my whole career as I deem it unprofessional, but don't see anything inherently bad about that.
When you say, referred to her as a milf, do you mean to her face? Or to someone else in a private conversation?

If you take that out of the picture, then talking on Whatsapp, and asking to hang out, and telling a secret, do not constitute any sexual harassment. This is particularly true if we are talking about just one conversation after which the person did not persist. Should investigate that milf comment, however.

I am rather surprised by the number of people just saying that he should be fired. Really? Showing the littlest bit of attraction and then getting shut down is not harassment. You want to take away a person's livelihood for that?
It is extremely common to date in the workplace. People express interest and people accept or refuse it all the time.

When there is kindness and respect involved there is no problem. We don't here about any of these events. It's simply normal human relationship building.

There is a line not to cross however. Harassment is a real thing that people do and nobody should have to deal with in a professional context.

You're right, it's a feeling. Like many things related to economy it's difficulty to put into words for a simple fundamental scientist (it really is.)

Does the money purely come from companies that start to do well after initial investment? If so, that is not a bad thing. If it is more of pyramid scheme where many small time players are constantly losing from the big shots that actually influence the market rates because they do such mayor transactions, then it seems unfair. Or just stupid on the small fry side.
Don't know why you got downvoted, this is EXACTLY what MILF means.
Is it sexual harassment B/C he asked her out or B/C he used the term "MILF" or B/C she wasn't interested? Did the whatsapp portion of the conversation occur at work or outside of work? Does your company have a policy that forbids coworkers to date?

My former boss dated an employee who worked in a different department. People at work knew and it was not considered a problem. No one got fired or sued. I guess I'm trying to understand the difference here. It seems to me the major difference is that in this case the woman wasn't interested. So is the takeaway here that if you ask out a woman you work with she will either say yes if she is interested or you will potentially be fired if she is not?
I'd guess it's because she didn't handle it on her own, and instead relied on the manager.

It's not your job to handle shit like that. If the person continues and it makes the work environment hostile than it might be, but not a one-time interaction like OP describes
Scala: The Road Ahead
My upgrade to 16.04 (Xubuntu) hit a rather unsuspected bump. During the upgrade process my computer froze (the lone mechanical HD was at fault). Only thing to do was cut the power/reset. Alas the upgrade was stuck in a limbo state and I had to manually remove some stuff with dpkg but eventually everything upgraded smoothly.

Interestingly I hadn't noticed that resolv.conf isn't a thing anymore and the resolvconf package is used now...yikes how long didn't I configure a network interface via the command line to not notice that :D

While there's no question he needs to leave, the way you handle this is an opportunity. If you act skillfully, employees in general will be more willing to share problems with you in the future. You can reach the end result without making the wronged employee feel even one bit guilty.

Have the lawyer spend time walking you through the various ways this can play out, rather than just give you a cookie-cutter procedure.

With this knowledge you will feel confident about the way you communicate his departure to him, to the employee who has been wronged, and to the company in general. The human subtleties here matter as much as the legalities. Rely on the lawyer for the latter, and yourself for the former.
Yeah I don't know how the whole thing progressed. But it's a fine line and I guess he crossed it.
He read, and studied, many text books that described and illustrated the average, flaccid penis in order to mentally handle this job without emotional damage.

What sort of emotional damage did he think would result from being a medical scrotum model? What did the job entail actually? I would assume he would let students see his penis or have it photographed for anatomy books, or something similar? Or were the students allowed to touch it, or something?

Yes, crudely remarking on a coworker's appearance then asking to "tell them a secret" (which is obviously going to be sexual in nature) is sexual harassment.

If you can't see why, I think quite a few people are very happy you don't have plans for management.

Like I said, a lot of assumptions are being made here. Many of these have various common and easily brought up examples of how they're not necessarily an indication of the quality you're trying to sift for. By bringing a list of these not-really-indicating qualities there is going to be such a significant category of false positives that it may just look as if one is so eager to judge other lifestyles that they forget to perform basic critical thinking abd empathy.

Instead of attempting to brush off a wide range of people with very common and easily explained life qualities, why not assume people generally have reasons for the situations they're in? If there is a personality trait you dislike, one can practice observant behavior to analyze how the trait manifests in an individual and move on from there on how to deal with that individual. Trying to assume all individuals with a trait are the majority of people who may be in certain circumstances in life just seems like poor logic.

As far as I can remember, there always have been problems with Linux. You just expect it because of experience.

Try to give git in the hand of your mum and tell her to version her spreadsheet with it. It doesn't make sense.

* Immediate dismissal - the language isn't in any kind of gray zone - completely inappropriate. This person will damage your company if you keep them on.
* Make sure they're not able to make a scene. No access to email or the premises at the point of dismissal. You don't want them causing further damage to the team.
* Make it clear the issue is wholly between you and them, this is your action, decision and responsibility.
Are you using a co-employer? Like Insperity?

If so take it to them immediately.

This is one great things about using a co-employer, HR in a bottle.
is it really sexual harassment? He tried clumsily to make a move on her and she declined, if he tries again it's a red flag, but if he stop his behavior you have nothing to worry about
it means that once it's been reported, it is extremely unwise to just "let it go". Now that the employer known that sexual harrasment took place, if they do nothing about it then they will be HUGELY liable if something worse happens later on (which seems likely, seeing as this guy did this as a relatively new hire).

Additionally, you generally don't want ass-hats that do this kind of shit working for your company, when the other party has made if obvious the advances are unwanted (we can only go off what OP has said though) working for your company. Especially if its small.
Continuing sexual advances in a work context after being explicitly rebuffed is textbook harassment. This is, perhaps, nearly the most minor incident possible of that basic pattern, but it also pretty clearly fits it.

Based on the training I've received - document the incident, talk to the problem employee and remind him that this is not appropriate business behavior, and warn him that a repeat performance will not be tolerated, nor will any attempts at retribution aimed at the company at large, or the female employee. Provide training to the company at large, so they know what is, and what is not acceptable in a business. Get training yourself so you know the law and how to handle this in the future.

I disagree with the chorus of "Fire him now!" in the other comments; startups hire a lot of folks straight out of college, so there's a significant chance that the employee in question has never been informed of what is, and is not, appropriate when they want to pursue a romance with someone from the office. What may be acceptable in a college classroom is very different from what is acceptable in an office.

Mistakes happen, words and body language which were not included in the chat log may have been misconstrued... you have one side of the story right now. Get both sides, and give the opportunity for the man to learn.

Involving a lawyer to ensure that you're on the right side of the law is, of course, a damned good idea. Especially if you end up deciding that you want to go down the road of firing.
