I didn't say "yeah but slavery!" I didn't draw a false equivalence between unions and the abolition of slavery.

I was responding to someone discussing the role of "economic liberty" in America's founding. When America was founded, that phrase meant slavery. The entire point of building "economic liberty" into the foundation of the country was to compromise on slavery.

If you can't stomach slavery being mentioned in a conversation about the historical relationship between business in labor in America, and the history of the principles at hand, then you won't be able to engage the subject matter in any depth.

Very interested in how the trade was executed. A big fish order, was it done in small chunks, by proxies? It was certainly not done in one go.

Experience: Even 10 years back putting when in an investment management team, a $100 million order (of roughly same magnitude for total outstanding) was done painstakingly, often over several days, via various brokers, varying what was done based on intra-hour liquidity. Now, intra-hour liquidity is much less than hours and highly automated, so anyone HFT looking, would be interested.

You run a high profile website. Going through your logs you see someone used a blind SQL injection vulnerability to enumerate the data tables and exfiltrate a few hundreds rows from some of the tables.

Is this person a just "friendly" pentester who "did you a favor" by finding a problem and just hasn't gotten around to telling you about it yet? Or was this an attacker who found a hole into your organization and is either hacking you further, selling the knowledge about your site's vulnerability to others, or monetizing this information in some other way?

You have no way to know. All you know is someone committed a crime.

I wonder if, as public perception changes on the issue, stoned drivers will be in even less accidents as their own perception changes - i.e. "I'm high on cannabis, but that doesn't impair driving, so my own driving isn't impaired", and thus they drive better. Compared to before, "I'm high, high drivers are bad drivers, so my own driving is impaired".

The original association of marijuana and music is in jazz, and playing while stoned is still as much norm as exception among jazz musicians. Jazz is a form of structured improvisation. The raw music actually isn't that complex. What's complex is trying to make a new statement with that music on the fly, while simultaneously listening closely to other musicians in the band, who are making their own statements. Done right, it feels like two (or more) minds thinking as one.

So yes, in addition to the physical reflexes needed to play difficult instruments gracefully, there's a lot of in-the-moment reflex in responding to the music and your fellow musicians.

I'm not familiar with wordpress development, so I have trouble understanding why something like this needs to be backed by an external API. Is it because there is no viable method for plugins to reliably run binaries in a cross-platform and compatible manor? or are there business/intellectual property reasons for this approach? It seems woefully inefficient to send 2000 (presumably "large") images per user per month to an external server when they could instead be "optimized" on the server in question.
GCC does employ DWARF exception handling (the zero-cost EH model) on ARM7TDMI. While the cost is zero in time, it is not zero in space. The EH tables, unwinder code, and support code for them have a non-zero space cost. While the space cost is normally considered negligible in a workstation or server environment, in a microcontroller environment it most certainly is not.
> These are functions, it doesn't get any simpler than that

Simplicity of the building blocks does not affect complexity of the resulting mess of code.

Look, Brainfuck have only 8 operators. It cannot get much simpler than that. Once you learn all 8 operators no new constructs require any learning. Does it help at all? No. You're stuck at a pathetic abstraction level.

Same with your functions. They're limiting your abstraction level, therefore making it impossible to make things simple. And your DSL example shows it in quite a dramatic way - it is a horrible mess and nothing but a horrible mess. It can be somewhat handy for the users, but the implementation is plain awful.

When I worked as a union employee in a grocery store (cleaning toilets, mopping up spills) my union fees were $12 a month.

I got paid $1.75/hour more than minimum wage, which is what people doing my job elsewhere would have gotten. Back then in Alberta minimum wage was $5 an hour, and I got $6.75

So even at the 15-20 hours a week I worked back then, that seems like a pretty good deal as I made back the union dues in a week.

Not to mention the additional protections I got. And that was a pretty shitty union and a pretty shitty job.

Inequality is falling, not rising, due mainly to increasing incomes at the bottom.

http://www.maxroser.com/economic-world-history-in-one-chart/

Wages within the US are in decline because of a shift to non-wage benefits. Worker compensation has done nothing but increase, there are just a bunch of laws (e.g. Obamacare) making it optimal for companies not to increase wages.

https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/COMPRNFB

The same trend towards within-country inequality can be seen in Europe, so any US-specific explanation is simply incorrect.

I hear you, but I'm saying that's not the generally accepted use of the term which is: long hours, socially unacceptable working conditions, and low wages. It conjures up the image of something that warrants legal/political challenge.

I could see this being argued for the traditional game development industry, which was plagued by long hours, harassment, and shit pay.
Apple was never priced like a growth stock, even when it was rapidly growing. Now that it's flatlined it's as if people expect it to shrink. Even if recent growth trends aren't good, they aren't terrible, and that company spits off so much free cash flow.
As someone who both plays improvisational music and loves driving, they're very much the same feeling to me. It's a mixture of predictability and surprise. (And no, I don't drive intoxicated, I've had a total of two moving violations in 30+ years of driving, and I haven't been involved in an accident in 15 years - I'm a lot more daring with a guitar than with a car!)

Musicians tend to either play high or play sober, consistently. I'm consistently sober. However, I've heard recordings of myself playing under the influence of marijuana, and cannot hear a difference. Alcohol, on the other hand, wrecks me musically. Beyond a three-beer limit, my playing becomes a litany of technical mistakes and bad ideas. I won't drink more than a beer while playing music, because it makes me suck.

As an anecdote, when talking with my friends, we typically agree on that the time in secondary school - around the years 13-16 was the worst time in the life, defined by angst and worries, and those that went to university typically says that was the most fun times, because of all the new friends and all the activities.

But maybe no one asks the kids how they really are doing.

I remember an article on this in New Scientist back in the 90s that went into a lot more depth. A study showed that while alcohol impaired multiple aspects of driving skill marijuana mostly impaired just time judgement. And stoned drivers tended to overestimate their level of impairment and slow down while drunk drivers tended to underestimate how impaired they were. They actually found that drivers who were moderately drunk and stoned were less likely to crash than drivers who were just moderately drunk because they slowed down even though they were more impaired.

My mother was a teacher, and was unionized, and got paid a good middle class income.

But from my perspective one thing her union did really well was professional development. As well as advocating for the students in terms of capping class sizes, pushing the school on various initiatives, etc.. My mother was able to complete her masters while she worked, and professional development was something the union had negotiated with management and took very seriously.

It's trendy to pick on teachers unions. And definitely it seems like where I am now, in Ontario, the teacher's unions do some dubious things. But I mostly only saw good things from my mother's union growing up.

Do not read this and think it's okay to drive high. It's not. Do not drive high. Call an uber or something.

I worry that people read studies like this and suddenly justify going out and driving while impaired. Driving is an incredibly dangerous activity on its own. Doing it when you're stoned is a stupid and risky move, and comparing it to how much more dangerous drunk driving is doesn't make it less stupid.

If you've never smoked pot, you don't understand how it feels and affects your thinking/reactions/perception of time and reality. If you smoke pot everyday, it may affect you less due to tolerance, but it's still affecting you, much like a functional alcoholic.

I have nothing against usage and I strongly encourage legalization, but I don't think it's okay to pretend that it's safe to get high and go driving.

I can't argue with this data, but I have to wonder how much tolerance/individuality plays a role in this. I know that I personally could not drive high on THC, my propensity to zone out would almost certainly result in an accident, but I (used to) have friends who drove regularly during and after partaking and I was completely confident in their abilities.

Personally, I think prohibitionists/law enforcement is looking for an easy money-grab and are hunting for justification of their desires rather than responding to an actual harmful issue that society is facing.

Occasionally, I get curious and log onto my phone's Firefox to see my newsfeed and it's so funny that the same people from six months or a year ago are posting the same messages, being "mindful," "lab coat ceremonies for med/PA school," (from the same people every year) "active lifestyle pictures". In a way, it was really insightful because I realized that it's actually the opposite, these "lifestyle" people did not grow up but are keeping on parroting what they should be doing year after year.

However instead of posting witty one-liners on someone's self-serving pictures, I've reached out to my friends more on FB messenger one-on-one where we've talked about loneliness, depression and failures - which led to meeting people I normally wouldn't meet up in real life.

I seriously wish that there could be a movement/art project where people would share their worst, mundane and most insecure moments on Facebook to portray modern living more accurately and to counter the current state of affairs on that site.

Worse still, it seems likely that they were using data that wasn't actually public:

Their paper reveals that initially they designed a bot to scrape profile data, but that this first method was dropped because it was “a decidedly non-random approach to find users to scrape because it selected users that were suggested to the profile the bot was using.” This implies that the researchers created an OkCupid profile from which to access the data and run the scraping bot. Since OkCupid users have the option to restrict the visibility of their profiles to logged-in users only, it is likely the researchers collected—and subsequently released—profiles that were intended to not be publicly viewable.
