This study was looking at pay one year after receipt of PhD. I'd expect that it would usually take longer for people to start being separated by performance in the types of jobs that PhDs typically get.

I'm as cynical as anyone. My heart is blacker than your soul could dream of.

But I think it's quite naive to look at campaign contributions as a dominant factor in the corruption of American society. It's a tempting scenario, and the numbers are visible, so it's easy to think they're important.

But reality is far more complex. And less conspiratorical.

My thinking was also that this makes a great platform for professional tools that are currently standalone devices. Multimeters, surveying equipment, thermal inspection tools. Maybe a microscope or even a microfluidics device.
There are terrorism bases in Xinjiang. They raise fund for terrorism. Some of Xinjiang musilims have the same belief as ISIS. They killed civilians at railway station. But western people don't believe it. Xinjiang terrorist brought a lot of troubles to many Chinese cities even including Shanghai.

When attacks happend in Western World, Chinese never said, 'They are not terrorist. They are just part of muslims who fight for their rights while western people persecutes them.' All the world should have sympathy for each other agasint terrorism.
This doesn't seem like a very good idea.

Iceland has never consisted of 165000 people living in tents in a desert refugee camp who never had a single culture or dialect in the first place, and doesn't rely on dealing with foreign NGOs for things as basic as their water supply.

As far as I'm aware, the indigenously-developed Icelandic curriculum also teaches native Icelanders to speak English to a good standard, which they rely on heavily when interacting with the outside world without consider having to do so a terrible colonialist imposition.
> Can you use a Chromebook without being logged in to a Google account?

That's a good point. You log in to the OS via a Google account. You can log out of that account from Chrome-the-browser, though. (In fact it looks like I'm currently only logged in to my employer's Google Apps account, and nobody's told https://accounts.google.com about my Chromebook account.) And I log into my Chromebook with a dedicated Google account, but I realize that not everyone will.

However, you can install Privacy Badger or anything else that you could install on other Chrome platforms, and it should effectively block Google's cookies from reaching other domains. There's probably some JS involved in running the browser itself that's shipped on the device, but if you want to avoid all google.com-delivered JS, you should be able to do that. (I believe this is no different from Chrome on the Mac.)
Nuclear capacity globally 386 GW in 2016 up from 375.5 GW at the end of 2010.

"By the end of this year, cumulative global installed solar photovoltaic capacity will surpass 310 GW, compared with just 40 GW at the end of 2010"

Which of those looks like it's producing the futures capacity?
Ah. Sure.

But the woman becoming an individual instead of a family role seems to have taken a front row seat to that meaning that the man will become an individual instead of role too. And that means admitting that the father role means not being able to have the family part like the mother role does.

I'm in this not saying people should be individuals or roles, just that we as a society (and individuals) should make that choice with our eyes open.

I think "deprioritizing" instead of "neglecting" doesn't sufficiently stress just how much you have to not do, in order to do the other thing.

My opinion is that the tasks of working and home maker should be up to the grownups involved. And if circumstances are such that you spend lots of time on children, then you are probably less useful to the workplace, and therefore should be paid less. It's insane to me that in some jurisdictions you legally have to count years worth of parental leave as if you were at work every day. A CV will not show this gap, even though it should.

The flagship Apple store in London is getting a similar makeover: http://idoxpa.westminster.gov.uk/online-applications/applica...

They're taking away the mezzanine floor at the front of the store to turn the main section just inside the entrance into a big, open two-storey high square space (which sounds similar to the glass-roofed space at the existing Covent Garden store).

Adding more space to sit sounds like the approach taken by luxury boutiques, which often have chairs and sofas for customers (or, more likely, their spouses) to sit and relax.

What completely amazes me is how OS X doesn't warn users to backup that block, constantly, until it's done.

I use Arch, which is not beginner friendly, but the wiki states this in a big, red banner. I'd expect an end-user friendly OS to do the same once the password is set for the first time, and over and over again until the backup has been made.

Does Apple actually enjoy leaving all the user's data to chance?

I didn't see anything alarming in this phrase, but from responses in this thread it's clear it strikes a nerve with some people.

And that's really helpful to know. I came into the thread seeing nothing wrong with it, but now have a sense that it might be a bigger issue than I had realized.

Another commenter mentioned that many groups use the ol' "Eat, {VERB}, Sleep, Repeat" slogan on t-shirts to express enthusiasm for something, rather than a top-down expectation. But maybe the issue of separating work / personal time is hot enough in tech that the slogan ends up reminding people (like OP) that there's a risk others will try to convince you to take it seriously as a requirement for your career.

This kind of thing comes up in academia, too--where there's a pervasive I-love-science-so-much-I-work-late-into-the-night-every-day mentality. Eat, research, tell people how late you were up researching, sleep, repeat.

Your command points stdin to the output of some random command. Even if you actually redirected stdout (pipe to cat, not from), it still wouldn't work, because cat's stdin isn't a file.

You need to point stdout to an actual file, like this:

shred > /my/secret/file.txt

Why would you do this? At the end of a long batch of commands that all write to some temporary file opened on stdout. Not uncommon in shell-land.

Update: there is an error in the write-up:

actually returns the path string. However since I was using IPython, showing `p` without printing it displays the object representation:

In [20]: p
Out[20]: local('/home/user')

This story is nothing I am proud of, but I wanted to share it anyway, I think there are a few interesting facets to this, e.g. how I got there:

- not discovering the solution through the documentation,

- hacking away instead of asking,

- lack of attention to detail when hacking through it (do I really wanna do this on my homefolder???),

- also: forgetting about the incident right away

I guess that makes me look bad, but I believe such errors happen everywhere and all the time. So there is the question, why did the solution not occur to me? Am I really just stupid and I am the only one? Or should the `__str__` method be included in API-documentation?

I don't know, but I'd like to hear your thoughts!

Yeah, but now people from all over the world watch American tv shows. For instance in France, americantv shows are huge. Everyone watches them. And I'm sure it's the same elsewhere. So maybe the market has actually grown for American tv show producers. And people watch them long past their airing period. I've seen a friends episode not too long ago on French tv actually.
I strongly agree that naming variable is an effort worth the benefits, but naming stuff correctly is not 0 extra work. As a matter of fact, judging by how many people give crap names to their stuff, I'd it's one of the most difficult task of designing something.

Finding a name that is both descriptive enough and not overly specific, that describes the 'what', not the 'how', doesn't conflict with other concepts and is not a 20 words Java style keyboard breaker, requires quite a lot of effort.

Well, the public transit in SD is terrible. There is the "trolley", which basically a toy serving the downtown, and a bus system where most of the routes stop at 7pm and don't run on weekends at all. I recently moved back to the Washington DC area after living for some years in SD and despite the troubles of the Metro, it is 1000x better than the SD situation.

I understand the distinction, and you've articulated what I was trying to say. Where I think we differ is that I would argue the shirt is implying a positive, upbeat attitude. To me, that shirt says "Yeah, you rock, keep going" not "Don't come out until you're done no matter what"

There might be aquifers below the surface of rocky bodies, provided sufficient heat and pressure exist to keep the water liquid. But this would be water in cracks on the rock, or in between grains of sand if sedimentary rocks exist. However, Europa is thought to have actual liquid oceans; these are underneath the ice that is the outer surface of the planet.

It is unlikely for there to be a water layer under rock because it would be gravitationally unstable to have a low-density layer under a higher one.

> “Unobtrusive JavaScript” is an decade-old technique I have already critized in an earlier article. JavaScript is considered “unobtrusive” when it adds additional behavior to an existing, self-sufficient HTML structure. Once the JavaScript kicks in, it changes the HTML DOM and adds behavior. Inevitably, this leads to significant content changes and reflows.

I completely agree with the author on the fact that this is a problem, but I don't understand blaming it on "unobtrusive javascript." Adding behavior doesn't require a reflow.
I think all French possessions are fully part of France. The population full French citizens, etc.

It is truly good that no warranties are implied as one would be necessary if we were to take this "Looooonnnggg," post seriously. According to records, religious warfare accounts for about 2-4 million deaths in the world since any records were kept. Hitler, Stalin and Mao managed better than that in each week.

A colony in the general sense is a territory that has been invaded and is permanently occupied, and where the native population does not have equal rights and cannot decide on their independence (or integration, since the idea is that they should have a choice).

Although it once was the case, it is incorrect to refer to Mayotte and Reunion as colonies. They are French departments. Their inhabitants are not "allowed to work in France", they are French, if they move to metropolitan France, they're just changing department. Saying they're a colony would be like saying Alaska or New Mexico are colonies. Moreover Mayotte did not vote to "stay" in France, the referendum was about switching from one status to another (essentially, from Oversea Department to 'normal' department) and they chose the most convenient one (shocking, I know).

It is true that they receive some extra subsidies, mostly because of their isolated location (which makes the cost of life higher). Due to the high level of unemployment, they also receive social subsidies, but that's just like any other department in France (but of course you won't hear a lot of complaints about how the North-Eastern regions are costing the rest of the country a ton of money...). Moreover they also receive less government investment when it comes to infrastuctures, i.e. schools or hospitals (even though they have to contend with tropical diseases and hurricanes).

The trope about "lazy black people under the tropics" (as opposed to Fench citizens who happen to live in regions where the economy is bad) is a common dog whistle in France. Much like with American nativists, there is this thing with implying who is a 'real' French and who isn't, and it seems to upset a number of white French that there are also black French who have been part of France for longer than they themselves may have been, so depicting them as remote people who are only in it to take money is quite convenient.

To get back to the main topic, it's true that "last colony" is a bit weird. There are other more-or-less similar conflicts in Africa (Casamance, Cabinda, Chagos) where the locals could refer to themselves as colonized.

> There's also the fact that it's set to soft-fail when the OCSP servers can't be contacted making it useless in that case[2].

Yes, notice that I called for OCSP force/required, not just OCSP soft-fail. I've been running OCSP required for years and never had any noticeable slowdown. Maybe there's one on the first connection of the day to a site or something?

Chrome's CRLSets are extremely limited and cannot begin to capture the full number of domains which have been revoked. They can get the most popular sites and that's about it.

OCSP stapling is the superior solution which will solve this in Chrome and other browsers, but for now OCSP is the only reasonable solution in a world where millions of SSL certificates have leaked and been revoked and you care about your privacy. CloudFlare alone revoked millions of certificates. These have indeed not all made it into the CRLsets.

An excellent summary of the problems is here:
https://www.grc.com/revocation/crlsets.htm

Chrome's CRLsets contain less than 1% of current revoked certificates. I can't in good faith call that a valid solution to the problem.
I agree a FDA for tech addictiveness probably won't happen. Now a Chrome extension to block much of it similar to adblock. That would be doable.

No, you should simply specify the size in the IMG element. People who care about this stuff have been doing this correctly for 15 years or more. Just as people have been advocating for what now has been labeled with the buzzword "responsive design" since then. People who cared told you 15 years ago that fixed-width layouts are stupid because they won't display properly on phones (among many other reasons which were more relevant back then). This has all been a solved problem for a long, long time, if only people cared. But they still don't, still piling on more complexity and more bloat in an attempt to "fix" things.
