As it turns out, you can remove material: just claim it is a BLP violation. Give the most spurious reasoning you can find, but it will be enforced no matter how absurd.
> that I believe you're on your own to pay yourself out of the fund.

I am specifically interested in that part :) If I'm withdrawing the money myself from the fund, then I have to take into account the small possibility of me living until I'm 90-100, and thus split money into portions that will last that long.

A company could pool a lot of people's money and take advantage of the law of big numbers (i.e. the average lifspan of their clients can be predicted with actuarial math) and portion my money as if I'm going to die when the stats predict me to die (sooner than 90-100 years old), making my monthly withdrawals bigger. That's what state pension funds do in a lot of countries at the moment, incl. my country Poland, but I don't trust the government with my money.

GChat was painful to use. IRC and Jabber are the predecessors.
There are already robots for mowing the lawn and the results are great. Biggest time saver since i got my first dish washer.
The problem with this kind of retrospective is that the counrerfactuals remain unknown. That likely makes this largely a matter of speculation. Not having read the book, it's hard to say for sure. But I'd read this with a big grain of salt and beware of just-so stories and post-hoc rationalization. You also have to consider the effect of confounding variables... did the authors find a way to do that?
The entire BD tech portfolio is about making really good legs, including thing like balance and recovery. So I can understand how they might be a bit miffed when Google wanted them to build something with wheels.

Yeah that's fixed it, thanks.

It was less an objection than an honest question -- and I'd still have the same question if the study was just girls. One reason for the question is that I'd actually be curious to know if there's a difference in earning power based on gender (or income or other common variables).
> Economic status only lasts on average 3 generations.

Gregory Clark's work "The Som Also Rises", "A Farewell to Alms" and his various articles suggest the heritability of socioeconomic status is around 0.7 and is uniform across all human societies he and his team have studied. The upper class maintain their social status if not their wealth.

The same surnames that were over represented among Qing dynasty mandarins are over represented among upper level PRC officials. One in five Swedish prime ministers have had surnames indicative of noble ancestry when holders of said surnames are ~1% of the population.
And the reason is that people want to know it. Forget everything pro or contra GMOs, just see it as consumer information in the same way the usual ingredients labels are. I actually feel like this argument should be turned around - consumers have a right to know what is in their products, someone opposing GMO labeling should justify why it is okay or even better to hide this information from consumers.
The Netherlands also has a similar system and can route bins accordingly. There was a big line but it moved very very quickly compared to what I'd see in the US.

Reflecting on it led me to use 'be nice' as our company policy. It's vague too but it has been a useful guide towards doing the right thing on occasions. Mottoes are necessarily vague.
Could the current general lack of appreciation for them be related to where they are located in the Jenkins UI?

In Jenkins 1.x and 2.x they are visible on the top level dashboard alongside the green/blue orbs and I often wonder if that's a source of distraction because I (as a user) am looking at both of these indicators now and wondering how to interpret the state based on both of them, when maybe I shouldn't.

Would it help if the top level dashboard(s) contained only one general build status indicator (vs two), and then the trend/health indicators were "down" on the pipeline details page alongside other health/metrics info (static analysis info)?
What are you talking about? Germany over the thousands of years has seen many immigration waves - as many as Germans were all over Europe.

You have zero knowledge of European history.

Carl Zuckmayer:

Vom Rhein - noch dazu. Vom Rhein. Von der großen Völkermühle. Von der Kelter Europas! Ruhiger Und jetzt stellen Sie sich doch mal Ihre Ahnenreihe vor - seit Christi Geburt. Da war ein römischer Feldhauptmann, ein schwarzer Kerl, braun wie ne reife Olive, der hat einem blonden Mädchen Latein beigebracht. Und dann kam ein jüdischer Gewürzhändler in die Familie, das war ein ernster Mensch, der ist noch vor der Heirat Christ geworden und hat die katholische Haustradition begründet. Und dann kam ein griechischer Arzt dazu, oder ein keltischer Legionär, ein Graubündner Landsknecht, ein schwedischer Reiter, ein Soldat Napoleons, ein desertierter Kosak, ein Schwarzwälder Flözer, ein wandernder Müllerbursch vom Elsaß, ein dicker Schiffer aus Holland, ein Magyar, ein Pandur, ein Offizier aus Wien, ein französischer Schauspieler, ein böhmischer Musikant - das hat alles am Rhein gelebt, gerauft, gesoffen und gesungen und Kinder gezeugt - und - und der der Goethe, der kam aus demselben Topf, und der Beethoven und der Gutenberg, und der Matthias Grünewald und - ach was, schau im Lexikon nach. Es waren die Besten, mein Lieber! Die Besten der Welt! Und warum? Weil sich die Völker dort vermischt haben. Vermischt - wie die Wasser aus Quellen und Bächen und Flüssen, damit sie zu einem großen, lebendigen Strom zusammenrinnen. Vom Rhein - das heißt: vom Abendland. Das ist natürlicher Adel. Das ist Rasse. Seien Sie stolz darauf, Hartmann - und hängen Sie die Papiere Ihrer Großmutter in den Abtritt. Prost.
Actually, Vector does support alternative auth mechanisms (although it's quite buried) - it implements the web fallback mechanism, both on web, iOS & Android, such that any unrecognised auth mechanisms can be handled by whatever webpage fragment hosted by the server, as per: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.1/client_server.html#fallb...

For instance, we have a workplace deployment of Vector knocking around that uses CAS for auth, and the whole CAS flow is handled by the fallback mechanism. (This CAS happens to be user/pass, but it could easily be 2FA or whatever instead).

That said, it's still beta, and not super-documented.

Yes, the burden to provide citations to add it back rests on the person who wants to reinstate challenged information. This helps to tend towards an article that has more cited content over time as anything questionable only gets reinserted with sourcing. I think this is the best balance between allowing anyone to add information and to have verifiable articles.

I had a really shameless colleague who flew to London twice a week. He never checked in luggage, stayed in his suit, and arrived at GVA about 20 minutes before flight departure. If there was no queue, he'd make it easily; if there was a queue, he'd use the final call as an excuse to skip to the front and said people always let him (hence my calling him shameless).

Without getting that extreme, there's definitely a case to be made for knowing expected processing time from arriving to the airport to being in the plane (and generally, the distribution of probable door to door time when you buy your flight). I've done LCY in under 10 minutes once, but was turned away at LHR because I arrived there 44 minutes before the flight and BA cutoff at 45. The biggest queues in Europe are usually going out, rather than into the flight.

Train is great if it is well planned. I did MRS-GVA by train and it took 5 hours as it was going 30kph between Lyon and Geneva. SNCF oversold the TGV and there were 10-20 people standing per carriage. The queue at Geneva Station customs added a further 10 minutes. Next time: Blablacar.
It amazes me how many people think that ending GChat/XMPP federation was the result of some kind of cigar smoking, moustache-twirling "evil".

I worked at Google at the time. It was killed for engineering reasons, that boiled down to:

1. Nobody used federation.

2. Except spammers. They used it a lot. Trying to keep federation alive whilst fighting spammers took a lot of effort.

3. It complicated the code a lot. Features that existed in GChat but didn't map well to XMPP were harder to implement.

4. The XMPP protocol sucked on mobile and sucked in web clients, and therefore Google's own clients were not using it any more. New extensions like Jingle were more like entirely separate protocols than small upgrades.

Federated chat protocols are the sort of thing that intuitively sound nice, but networks that implement them inevitably end up being killed off by closed, proprietary competitors that are simply a whole lot better. Email hangs on, kinda, but I passively await the day that the email system is killed off by a closed network. It already happened for personal correspondence (facebook) and I'm sure at some point it'll happen for work correspondence too.

Moxie Marlinspike has written some thoughts on why federated protocols are yesterday's solution here:

https://whispersystems.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

Put simply, in a world where clients are all free and the identifier of choice is the phone number, federation doesn't add much value.
"shell code" comes from back in the day when such code would usually "spawn a shell", essentially calling /bin/sh to yield a shell with elevated privileges (i.e., the privileges of the program being exploited; imagine being a normal user, able to call a program that runs with root privileges, then if you can trick the program into running arbitrary code, you can run code as root although you're a normal user). Ideally, when called across a network (say you could get Apache to execute random code you put into a GET header), such a shell should be accessible on some port so that you could telnet to that port and be 'logged on remotely'.

This 'shell code' was the 'payload' of other code that exploited e.g. a buffer overflow; the goal of such an exploit was always to trick some program into executing that payload, i.e. the shell code. So there were/are essentially two parts to writing an exploit - first getting the software to actually execute random code, secondly (if you actually want to use the exploit) write shell code that does something useful to an attacker, like spawn a shell or (as in the OP) drop firewall rules.

As a less objective side note, writing 'shell code' was always considered (in the circles I hung around in) as being less honorable and prestigious. The 'exploit writers' (exploiting the primary bug) were the samurais, the shell code guys the ninjas, as it were. Writing shell code was considered a bit dirty grunt work, and only script kiddies needed it anyway, because after the PoC for the actual exploit was done, the 'interesting' part was over. (I never 100% agreed with this, for some exploits you need some serious trickery to make your PoC actually do something useful).
Wait... if we select a 25 y.o. engineer over a 85 y.o. engineer it means ageism? We must pretend that cognitive functions doesn't decline with age? (Which has been completely proven as any biologist can tell you)
Precisely. There's already the beginnings of a WhatsApp bridge for Matrix (and indeed anything that libpurple can speak) at https://github.com/matrix-org/node-purple/tree/master/appser.... It just needs tuits for people to work on and finish off. Meanwhile, the IRC & Slack bridges are live and work relatively well today (although a lot more work still to be done).

i think the entire military spending in the U.S. was >650B. It is probably insanely hard to train a robot to walk around an unknown environment, pick clothes up, launder & dry them, and then have the dexterity to fold them. What percentage of people would buy v1 of this in america. A standard shitty top down analysis tries to capture 1% of a market. Here, your absolute max is 1%, likelely 0.01%. So, capturing 1% of the world market of people who could possibly even afford this is 80k people. assume this analysis is terrible, but you get the idea. many countries spend on military/security. This would branch into police dept ect. Obviously, this woud be terrible for humans, but a robonanny is less marketable than a military robot because the tech is there for a military bot but not precise enough to do chores, which aren't super valuable relative to en masse robot manufacturing costs.
Tax keeps your property protected. Don't like tax then you lose the military and police protection for your right to property.

Disabling firewall on an attacked host sounds trivial to detect. Is there any specific reason why wouldn't you deploy meterpreter instead?
There is quite big market for non-seated entertainment - Wii, Kinect, etc have shown that. It is a very different market from the people who currently have high-end gaming PCs suitable for VR, but the number of people who like and want full-room experiences is quite large.
I can see how is it disappointing.

However you can also see how broad inclusion can be disappointing for "German Germans". You see, as an Israeli you have more flexibility and perhaps specific community support and, being a minority, additional lobbying power.

Whereas "German German", while being exactly same German as you (or your son), lacks all that and therefore at a disadvantage. They become "just Germans".
These incentives lead to fragmentation of core German identity: everybody gains from declaring them as "German and Somebody Else". But fragmented society is a liability how we saw in Syria or Bosnia or many other troubled countries.

Therefore, while "German Germans" and "non-German Germans" should be equal almost everywhere, the former should have distinct weight at shaping society culture and policy. It's just more natural that way.

Disclaimer: I'm not a German but from a country that have similar issues.
Yup. the Synapse server implementation is still beta, and we are working away on the performance issues (yay, Python/Twisted). In the last few months we've reduced the memory footprint by about 2-3x (by string interning, better caching, and letting the cache size be configurable). The only stability issue we're aware of currently is the risk of being OOMed on small VPSes.

That said, we're really hoping that having almost finished fleshing out the whole ecosystem now, the future will be much tighter and svelter homeservers like Perceptes' ruma implementation.

Maybe Google Translate can help you getting the gist of it. Bottom line: Foreigners can only be employed if there are no negative consequences for German citizens.

Because it's an idiotic simplification, like writing that "people in power in today's USA understand the only kind of arguments - money. Money of different kinds, but still - overwhelmingly money. This approach shouldn't be underestimated".
Absolutely agree with the socio-economic bit being the main factor. I wonder, however, if a minor factor is the ability to skim, which is strengthened by reading young. My girlfriend is Brazilian who speaks English well and I observe her having much more trouble doing basic research and gathering random knowledge simply because she is much slower skimming in English. Whether it's looking for a restaurant or figuring out how to pay a parking ticket or whatever, while she does manage, it takes her probably 2x the time it does for me. Moreover, I think this is a barrier to acquiring more knowledge. If there is a question about something, my first instinct is to just hop on google and figure it out. Hers often times isn't, I think in part because there's just more energy and frustration involved in doing so than for me.

It generally doesn't require input from the target network being bridged, unless you're running a large public bridge like the ones we host on matrix.org. You do however currently have to run your own homeserver in order to run your own bridge (although in future we're looking at ways of getting around this for 'personal' bridging purposes).

If you run your own homeserver, and your own bridge to Rhizome/wherever, you can think of the end result being a bit like bitlbee or a pidgin-in-the-cloud... but decentralised, and with the richness of Matrix's conversation semantics (e.g. arbitrary data types) rather than being limited to IRC.
"Consider the types of societies one finds across the Arab world and Africa to the societies one finds in Europe"

Let's do that:

European societies are nationalist (with distinct nations) and also functional.

African and Middle Eastern societies are pan-Arabic/pan-Islamic and dysfunctional.

I'm not claiming it's casuation not a mere correlation, but we should probably not fix what's not broken. Call when pan-Islamic Caliphate or pan-Arab Federation happens and is a success.
Thanks. Apart from the mainframe systems, the ones having experienced commercial/industrial success in your list are either life-extension efforts to support niche users or are clones of the actual thing developed by hobbyists. Maybe they would suck less than unix if they had seen in the last 20 years a fraction of the development behind unix operating systems. By the way, you forgot to include FreeDOS (I don't know if DR-DOS is still alive).
GP comment was 67, not 85.

Can you show any links to reliable research ahowing cognitive decline is inevitable in 70 year olds? Or is that just something you know and think is obvious?
Synapse only runs serverside. In future we'd love to evolve things to be able to run clientside - e.g. our P2P Matrix GSoC project: https://github.com/matrix-org/GSoC/blob/master/IDEAS.md#peer...

I'll look into it, but my settings file always has a fake secret key in it (that will be overridden on production) to cut down on the amount of configuration needed for new dev setups.

I'll look into configuring it, but having to # noqa a bunch of lines isn't ideal :-/ Hopefully it won't get to that.
Strange thing is this was always the case and just recently started to change. MSN API was a joke, you needed a desktop environment on the server to run the actual client to use SOME of the functionality. Nearly the same with Skype. Gchat removed Jabber pretty fast. Facebook chat also removed the outside functionality of their XMPP clone. Whatsapp is not even able to provide a web client, but only a weired bridge because they crippled to xmpp they are using way to much. No experience with the Apple services but i assume they are similar.

Next to that we always had open protocols, that worked perfectly, had plenty of clients and apps and nobody used them.

It is a stupid market.
> What were your honest, visceral, reactions to each of these statements?

Let me add some:

Attractive white woman says that low income white man stole something from her. What will happen?

Black woman and white woman each comment that babies of their own race are the prettiest babies. What will happen?

Power dynamics are fluid and contextual.

> Helping groups isn't the same as discrimination.

It is. The only cases where it makes a difference are inherently zero sum or net negative, because if they weren't then the racial preference wouldn't have been necessary to reach the same outcome.

> Watch that video and tell me, with a straight face, that 90% of US prison populations are black men because they commit more crimes, and not because they simply are arrested more often.

90% of US prison populations are men. Less than half of those men are black men. Black men are, however, highly overrepresented in part for the reasons you suggest.

> Girls do as well as boys in engineering and programming, and yet many cultural pressures push them away -- not least of which are the attitudes of boys (and other girls) toward girls who seem to "geeky." Is it bad to have programs that encourage girls to follow STEM career paths?

It depends on the nature of the program. Does the program mitigate the cultural pressures? Good. Does the program make girls "special" and give them things not available to the boys? Not good.

> It was far easier for me to get where I am because I'm privileged, and I'm not going to poke fun at people who are trying to help those who aren't.

Which is why it's a lot easier to tell how much help someone needs based on where they are right now rather than the color of their skin or whether or not they have a penis.

I'd assume the problems will be fairly similar. The terminator will have to evolve in an unknown environment, be careful of not hurting civilians (or the wrong army) and will face a deliberately deceptive enemy. Either way there will be a v1, and a v2, and a v3, and it will take a while before it becomes a cheap mainstream product. But the civil use I think has a multiple of the potential.

Now the reality is that it's probably not going to be one or the other, both will advance in parallel and share technologies.

I have no qualms about OpenID Connect itself — it is a sound standard, using JSON Web Tokens is a particularly nice feature — but I dislike encouraging users to identify themselves for every service they use with Facebook or Google accounts. Way too much information about your digital life centralised with a single commercial party.

I'd much rather see the use of password managers become more common, or even better, stimulate user-friendly two-factor authentication standards such as FIDO U2F.
