There is certain conduct that is so beyond the pale that it doesn't matter if it is the first time or not. Calling someone a MILF at work is one of those things.

Would you do the same for embezzlement?

Jobs are jobs, not training programs. It's not wrong to expect someone to just be able to do their job without opening the company up to lawsuits. People are fired for incompetence of all kinds -- no one is guaranteed a job. And do you really want to spend an hour a week discussing with this guy that MILF isn't appropriate workplace language and then checking in with all the coworkers to make sure he's not secretly getting away with more? What a waste of company resources on an adult who certainly knows better.
and then the author will remove it one day. :)

SS7 is not broken at all. It's an extremely robust protocol thats been around forever. It was designed to work in the closed Bell system not designed for an idea 40 years in the future. Its not uncommon for an SS7 gateways to have 6 9's of uptime. Yes 6. There is nothing broken about it.
I was almost going to pass this up based on the HN discussion and the initial CTA[1] on the page. I'm still not sure this answers any of the many frustrations, and hopes, I have for browser development,[2][3] but it's of possible interest.

For the love of all that's holy: Put a compelling argument for a CTA on the page BEFORE the CTA.

And ... put a compelling argument there regardless. This lacks both.

The features mentioned, especially tabs management, strike me as useful. Tabs are a mistake. That's not my opinion, that's Adam Stiles' view -- and he invented them. Content management is a huge problem.

Web design isn't the solution, it's the problem. My standing recommendation now is that Pocket add a Web Intent to its Android app. If I could use it rather than Firefox or Chrome for browsing, I'd be vastly happier.

Streams, search, bookmarks, content, organisation, reputation (of authors, sites, publishers), fact-checking, influence-registries (Nature just had an item on this IIRC) are all other areas of issue.

Paying content providers is a concern. I'm notafan of micropayments, but building the system into the browser is one option. Broadband or content taxes with usage monitoring similar to music's mechanicals is another. Browsers could play a role in both.

I'm also not a fan of having to register for stuff. But might regardless.

Yes; most employment agreements in the US are at-will so you can fire an employee at any time without cause no matter what your seniority :)
As with the sibling post, I'd also wonder if it's because of the failures that Kepler has had. Right now it can only point at a really small part of the sky and it's possible that that star forming region just happened to form mostly smaller planets.

Horrible armchair speculation: the graph ALMOST looks like there's two bell curves summed together. a larger planet forming one and a smaller planet forming one, might indicate that there's some threshold for making larger planets that has to be crossed first.
Very rarely do biz owners regret firing people too early - it's usually done months too late. Don't wait for this to happen a second time and for your valuable long term employees to leave because you didn't take action.

Don't let cancerous employees into your organization. Don't allow him to harass another one of your employees.

Fire him.
If there wasn't anything wrong with it (in her mind) - it never would have made it to the founder.

What happens when you don't fire the guy? Say later on, for whatever reason, SHE has a bone to pick with the company. Now the FOUNDER is the guy who got a harrassment case and "didn't take it seriously". What's the founder's responsibility to protect his company? Don't see how he needs that risk.

>> My understanding is that feral honey bees have been extinct in North America for a long time (since the 1980s?), and that they're an introduced species. The logic then goes: if you see a honey bee flying around outside, it at some point belonged to a honey bee keeper.

I don't believe this is the case, meaning not all feral bees are escaped swarms, although many may be. See this for more (a lot more) information: http://scientificbeekeeping.com/whats-happening-to-the-bees-...

>> I'm also of the impression that (a) the costs for pollination services haven't shot up in conjunction with colony collapse disorder (CCD), and that CCD is defined in terms of an increase in colonies that fail to overwinter. It's not, the logic goes, as if all the honey bee colonies fail; they just seem to be more fragile.

I can't comment on the price of pollination services, but I don't believe CCD is defined solely as 'failing to overwinter', implying the bees starve or were otherwise ill prepared during a period of dearth. CCD is typically defined as a general failure of the hive in the presence of adequate environment, seen by absconding or dying off. Honeybees have been so well studied over the last 10 years or so with the advent of CCD that the phenomenon is much better understood. Many experts today believe it is caused by a combination of continually more unnatural beekeeping practices, for example the continued feeding of non-honey sugar sources, monoculture crops, chemicals used in agriculture, forcing the bees to reuse comb indefinitely, etc.

>> There's also a market for queens to start new colonies with, and my understanding was that the market for these queens hasn't gotten crazy in response to CCD.

I buy queens for non-commercial beekeeping and I haven't seen any observable difference in my area. They are not difficult to breed with adequate resources.
Mostly agree, but there's arguably a relevant, persistent inefficiency here in the sense that it looks deceptively good to advertise the gross hourly rate than the hourly profit. (Both of which are higher than the after-tax profit.)

IOW, fewer drivers would probably join on from seeing "Make $30/hour [gross]!" than e.g. "Make $15/hour + expenses!"
so it's like being on a plane in terms of escapability
I think I'm in the middle in this issue. On one hand the guy is new, and went pretty far on this one. On the other hand you are hiring human beings and you can't completely stop flirty behaviors (I remember reading about the percentage of Americans who meet their spouse at work and it was pretty high).
I find always surprising that people and now politicians expect Facebook to act like a public service and not like the private company it is.

Facebook answers to its interests as a company.

Since when are not newspapers curated, and leaning left or right? Did someone go ask Fox News to explain manipulation to the Senate? Facebook may make decisions that cost its credibility, but it's in its own right as a private company to select the content they provide, just as it can skew your timelines or suck every piece of data from your browsing habits and resell it to advertisers ( you accepted their terms after all)

Facebook is not a public service nor an NGO nor a bunch of nuns doing charity work.
I think you're really missing the point here.

> Moxie says that email is frozen, being why it is unencrypted, blaming the lack of progress on it being federated. But you know, I'm willing to bet that in 10 years from now WhatsApp and Slack will be both dead, just like Yahoo Messenger and ICQ before them, while email and IRC will still be around.

Yes, and email will still be unencrypted, while the WhatsApps and Slacks of the future will probably be encrypted end-to-end.

> And I think that email is unbeatable, because it is federated, because it's governed by standards and because in spite of all constraints, it's quite adaptable, being the kind of platform supporting short term proprietary solutions because (and not in spite of) its client/server decoupling.

It's not adaptable enough to introduce meaningful encryption to it.
First off, the posters I was replying to (cylinder, rayiner) seemed to be talking about the ultimate disposition of "employee" classification for Uber which is a larger issue than the specific lawsuit. I was responding to the larger issue.

As for the specific lawsuit, the current settlement of $100m that the drivers' attorneys favor doesn't change the classification to "employees". The $100m is not the "now-we-are-employees" type of money.

But even if the settlement is approved, it doesn't mean that that Uber has put the employee classification problem totally behind them. Other states and more lawsuits will be filed to keep the pressure on. My previous reply is predicting how Uber will play the game to avoid having 160000 employees if the forces calling for employee classification become too great.
RNAseq, the measure of abundance of transcribed genes at a particular cell state is one of the most common assays done with next gen sequencing. That's the big one then of course there is also miRs, transcription factors, methylation, histone marks, chromatin conformation capture.

As someone with a CS background who has worked almost 5 years in bioinformatics, one thing to realise is if you think something obvious is not done, either you're missing the right search term on pubmed or there's some horrible lab issue that makes it really hard (and we need a new assay/tech)
Please don't. If you have a substantive critique to make, you're more than welcome to, but "shut the fuck up, "all you want is money and power", and "world's biggest hypocrite" is the opposite of that, and predictably degraded the thread.

2) These Four door Uber approved vechicles are expensive. It's different than leasing a cab for a few weekends. I've heard of people ruining their credit, and some even declaring bankruptcy when Uber dreams didn't work out. Buying the new black Prius is just a slap in the face?

I don't understand how Guardian were unable to obtain a license to use Signal/Axolotl in Chatsecure. The libraries on Github are GPL3, is there some missing IP I'm not aware of?

Also it saddens me that LibreSignal is effectively dead now, along with any future third-party clients. I think forking the Signal server and (later) adding federation could spark a community of free and secure messenger apps for the 21st century.

Even if that means starting with an empty user base. After all, most of my contacts with Signal only ever use it to contact me, it wouldn't be difficult to convince them to change app.
LMFDB contains a large amount of extremely difficult to compute data about mathematical functions that arise in number theory, which took decades to compute and debug, and relations between that data. Just as hundreds of gigabytes of detailed astronomical data is not in Wikipedia or Wolfram Mathworld, this data about number theory is not in Wikipedia or Wolfram Mathworld either, and it never will be.
I've written something similar too. Adding plugins/modules was like a rite of passage for anyone digging into the redis source. I'm definitely happy to see modules getting official support now though.
> Just to play devil's advocate: how hard is it to spoof whatsapp/slack messages if one wanted to get someone fired?

Easy. Same with telegram. And with HushSMS you can change the text of already sent SMS messages. And lets not get into the real devious stuff. Especially if your company sysadmin is accomplice.

On the other hand - the story rings true. They guy made advance, was rejected, she informed the boss - it sounded to me like she wanted to avoid a potential "two weeks on a business trip" scenario with the guy in the future and not to cause company drama.
Ah, the irony ;)
Did you ask the person next to you what they were working on?
Hitting on a fellow employee after work hours with a tinder-esque technique is grounds for termination.

The female employee has little recourse to stop the advance, and has not approved it. Workplace courtship protocol requires slow, deliberate advancement with explicit ACKs from the receiver.
It's funny how the debate on this has skipped directly to whether it's OK for Facebook to do it not whether they actually did it. Also, the allegations are that a few curators suppressed news stories from conservative sites from appearing on the trending news feed. Even if this turns out to be true it's a far cry from the "Facebook is censoring news!!!" allegations that are being thrown around.
A valid reason to give to the victim is that you're not just protecting her but any other current or potential victims (using nicer language than this). That will help her feel good about coming forth with the information; she's not causing trouble for the company but actually saving someone else from harassment.

Their use of contractors is subtle. I'm sure employees manipulated the feed. The research they did in 2012 with Cornell had Facebook directly manipulating feeds to illicit emotional outcomes and they measured how those emotions propagated out to the rest of the subject's network.

Again, the question is not if but, how much they manipulate. Calling it an "Algorithm" that is staffed by "Quality Editors" who can group tags and things together to make trending topics bigger is just a defense mechanism. Facebook can say or make anything they want to appear or disappear in your feed.

I should add that behind the scenes LMFDB really is a (MongoDB) database, there's an API that @hasch (here on HN) wrote, so that data can be recovered in JSON format, etc. To give some sense of what is in there, this http://johncremona.github.io/ecdata/ is just a tiny bit of what is in LMFDB.

I'm divided on this.

On the one hand, overriding keybindings enabled me to create an interface a while back where you could drag and drop midis onto an on-screen keyboard that corresponded to your keyboard, creating a musical instrument that could be played by typing.

On the other hand, more and more I think those things are better done as desktop applications, and that web applications are bad for users.

I don't know. I'd not be very sad either way if key bindings are allowed to be overwritten or not. I'm much more concerned that programmers not override keybindings to create really bad interfaces like this.

Two questions:

It is unclear to me if the BAM server is part of this opensourcing or not. The page talks about a 90-day trial.

Also, it is common in other (usually non-D)VCS workflows to lock binary files while working on them, since concurrent changes can't be merged the way text files allow. Does BK support anything like this?
This is actually a surprisingly complex question in mathematical philosophy -- I unfortunately can't find a copy online right now, but if the idea of mathematical objects interests you I'd highly recommend Paul Benacerraf's 1965 paper "What Numbers Cannot Be", which explores the complexity of the idea of even a single integer as an "object".
