I could be misunderstanding the data due to my pre-work skimming of the article, but looking at a variety of the variables they expose, it seems like many of the highly weighted creepiness factors _do_ align with appearance in absence of action. Greasy hair? Overly thin/pale?

I can understand that some people may consider your parent's comment as looking for excuses/being overly snide/something or other, but it's certainly worth consideration, especially for me in that my anecdotal bayesian prior certainly echoes the sentiment of "appearance buys you breathing room". (As I got older and started caring about my appearance more, I observed my equally nerdy (behaviorally) friends get treated diametrically differently than I was when I KNEW we acted nearly identically after decades together)
CircleCI raises $18M Series B
More employee-friendly employment laws would go a long way in preventing unions from feeling the need to fight for ridiculous contract terms that ensure employees are basically unable to be let go.

At-will employment is a joke. 2 weeks unpaid maternity leave is a joke. Reasonable public policy would prevent unions from completing with each other on these fronts to the demise of their own organizations.

She said, if she were attracted to him, she'd be aroused and excited; if she were not attracted to him, she'd be creeped out.

It seems surprising that the architecture is spread over so many different service providers. CDN from Fastly, servers from Rackspace, file storage on AWS, database from Heroku, ElasticSearch from Elastic, log storage on Dreamhost, DNS from Dyn etc.

It seems like a lot of accounts and effort to manage all these, while AWS, Rackspace and Heroku could host most of the required parts on their own.

Is there a technical reason for using each of these services from these providers? Or is it just easier to get smaller donations from multiple supporters than all from one source?

"unions make companies more vulnerable to outsourcing"
because outsourcing is a a shark and unions cover you in blood?

the only thing that makes a company vulnerable to outsourcing is assholes in management, uncaring, shortsighted, corrupt and uncaring assholes. that's it.

unions are for the people and inherently by the people, ffs, it's a cooperative effort to run a company, but somehow people think it's the CEO and the whatever-o that make the company what it is.

Companies that think this way, ultimately fail, or loose to companies that treat their people better, unless they have regulatory capture or some other government handout to corner the market, and this causes their employees to realize that the company they work for is shit and maybe they need to form a union to protect themselves from the psychopaths running the company.

> Unions essentially create a government sponsored monopoly on labor supply, restricting both workers and companies, which is fundamentally in conflict with the values of economic liberty upon which the country was founded.

Literally every word of what you just said about abolishing slavery. Even the bit about restricting workers, because poor landowners were told that owning a slave would enable upward mobility (it didn't really, slavery was a money sink at such small scales, this was just rhetoric to keep poor whites from questioning slavery).

Our country's history of valuing economic liberty has typically made us tolerate some awful behavior by the economically powerful. I wouldn't put it on a pedestal.

I realize we're talking embedded here, but what is "bloat" in the context of 2016? I have a suite of 35 command line apps with header-only dependencies on Boost and the whole shebang builds in under ten seconds on 2012 MacBook. Many of the binaries (64-bit) are under 200k.

EDIT: I've hand-coded 68xx, 56xxx and 8051 when 4K RAM was a luxury. But this "C++ is bloat" and "exceptions are universally wrong" discussion feels a little 1995 to me. It's 2016: if you have software it's not that hard to find a $5 system to run it on. And people who actually write embedded code know how to pick their tools. And at least one of them isn't necessarily afraid of STL or exceptions... me.

You've set up a strawman. There is no requirement that for a union to behave the way you suggest anywhere that I'm aware of. A union will generally be expected to provide certain protections, but there's a vast gap from having nobody to help you to reasonable representation is provided to even your positions vs. your employer to making the worst employees near impossible to fire.

E.g. the UK has plenty of strong unions, yet firing UK employees if you have good reason is shockingly easy for the most part seen with Scandinavian eyes. Some unions here are harder to deal with than others, sure, but it's also clearly possible to have unions that provide effective protection without making it impossible to get rid of people who do a bad job.

Part of the problem is that "doing a bad job" is sometimes used to hide cases of getting rid of people management doesn't like. It takes very few abuses of trust like that before you have a hardline union on the other side of the table that will not give a shit what arguments you have because they don't know whether or not the employer is telling the truth.

Once a relationship like that has soured, fixing it will be incredibly hard.

Remember that lives literally used to get lost over workers rights in the US (and still are many places in the world) - many unions today have a long institutional memory of people who died trying to gain concessions for their members.

E.g. AFL, now a part of the AFL-CIO was the instigator behind May Day as the international day for workers demonstrations, in part to continue the demonstrations for the 8 hour working day, in part in tribute to those who lost their lives in the Chicago Haymarket Massacre.

US unions in particular used to be on the forefront of this, and bore some of the worst brunts of violence, and many of the older US unions early became very much hardline for good reason.

Compare to unions many places in Europe where electoral success for left wing parties meant many of their demands where implement by law, allowing many unions to take a much softer approach and taking a lot of contentious issues off the table for union<->employer interactions because the hard stuff was dealt with by government.

>(Of course, the average anime character does look unmistakably Japanese, but in the same way a rococo painting in a gilded frame looks unmistakably French.)

Uhh... No. I actually remember wondering why anime characters almost never look Japanese, and ended up decided that they wanted them to look different from themselves. Blue and pink hair, huge eyes, all those differences added up to "not us" in my mind. There are some anime characters who do look distinctly Asian to me, but they're pretty few and far between.

In addition, they often give them non-Japanese names as well, which further cemented my belief that they didn't want them to be Japanese. The ones with Japanese names often didn't look more Japanese, either.

But according to the article, Japanese people aren't upset at all with the casting of this film... Why should I be? Worse, what right have I got to be upset about that? It's specifically not affecting me or my culture, and I can only be outraged for them, to help them with their issues. It makes no sense for me to be outraged if they aren't.

Keep in mind, we're talking about a place where a giant wave swept in and killed twenty thousand people and their pets and livestock, etc. in a few minutes, so it's not like it's trouble-free here.

Ah, so the burglar with the bump key is allowed in because the action of the lock determines criminality? "If it opens it's allowed?"

You seem to be making the same fundamental mistake many technical individuals make when they interact with things outside of their knowledge sphere - you're attempting to map a space that is foreign to you into the world you know.

The legal system is not a computer. It does not run on rigid rules That's actually a really good thing: it allows flexibility in considering whether an action is a crime or not.

There's a spectrum to consider. It's clear on one end that a person who searches for "not for release filetype:pdf" may be looking for historical documents, and a person who attempts a SQL injection against a web application has sufficient guilty knowledge and intent.

Perhaps. If for the sake of the argument there is such a sliding scale, maybe attractiveness should also be a factor. Attractiveness is more than just "physical attractiveness", and by definition pretty much excludes creepiness.

Delphi? Proprietary, Windows-only and costly

Every day, I walk from the ferry building in SF to 4th Street and back for work. I look at it as the time I can enjoy the city and never (or try to never) think of issues I am having. It relieves a lot of stress, as I look at the faces of pasaers by, and the buildings.

Prior to college, during college, and even now, my wife/wife-to-be and I took an hour walk in the evening (and sometimes morning). It's something I always use(d) to relieve stress.

The thing is, most people thought we were kind of weird. Back where we are from we literally used to walk next or through corn fields and the town was definitely not design for walking. We made it work, but I can see why walking is dying a slow death.

Under the CFAA, any access to a networked computer becomes a crime as soon as the owner decides that he doesn't want you to access it anymore. This includes stuff as simple as visiting a publicly-facing web page.

Judges have also ruled that if you visit a public-facing page that contains information the rightsholder doesn't want you specifically to see (everyone else on the internet is OK), the temporary "unauthorized" copy that exists in the RAM of your computer constitutes copyright infringement.

That amount of money is a lot of money relative to other money, but it's not really a big deal relative to either party here.

However, I think that Buffett is just making a statement of 'look how much I think of Apple' by throwing that bn around, perhaps inspiring other investors?

>Unions increase wages for their members, not people who aren't in unions.

It's funny how basic economics seems to go out the window when it comes to unions.

Pushing up wages in one company that is competing for labor pushes other non-unionized companies to pay more or face an exodus of talent.

Basic supply and demand.

This isn't a huge bet in BH's world, barely cracking their top 20 holdings list, and it barely registers a blip for Apple, but it's culturally interesting to see Buffet make another no-tech exception for Apple, and it will be interesting to see how much that confidence transfers to the street.

Buffett and Berkshire do tend to love companies that generate cash, and Apple certainly does that. They don't tend to chase massive growth, but rather steady climbs backed by real profits. It seems like a pretty reasonable fit.
Buffett himself quite possibly had no knowledge of this investment

Many Americans grow up with a rather biased view of unions and with good reason.

Looking at the unions here in New York when it comes to construction you quickly end up loathing the unions.

Instead of fighting for paid sick days, longer vacation, better healthcare for their members they simply try to expand the number of members they have thus delaying constructions, putting way too many people on the constructions projects etc.

It's a shame because unions do have their time and place when the work is more or less the same and salaries not too independent.

Wallmart employees could use a strong union. Uber could.

But the problem is that once you get into the territory of fluctuating salaries for the same job and more individual employee/employer relationships it's not so easy to establish a shared vision.

Denmark have a model[1] where the employee unions and the employer negotiate minimum salaries, sick days etc. and where the government primarily is there as a mediator.

It's working pretty good although it is showing to be less effective in the more individually based job types I spoke about.

None the less. The US do need more unions but they have to be established across companies to ensure agency.
