> This is just another way of attacking someone else's position, with the added bonus of letting you be intolerably smug while you do it.

Ah, yes. The author is so intolerably smug, the way he didn't advance his own message to the woman, and asked her to speak more of her own experience. I know that I, for one, can't handle it when someone ask for more information without expressing any statement of judgement - I mean, the sheer smugness of it is just intolerable.

> This, on the other hand, is a way of reconciling the fact that you obviously don't have a good reason to believe the things you do

Even though the author clearly and concisely explains why his own opinion is different to the woman's? It's not like it's a complex or hard to read article.

There's a considerable amount of projection going on in your comment. I find the commentary about smugness quite ironic, really.

If I really want to convince someone of something, its the last thing I do. The first thing I do is befriend them. They could have wildly different opinion on a subject that I think is dangerous, and its the last thing I would talk about,if we even got that far.

I establish first the common ground,not even touching on hot button topics. I find anything we can agree upon "those are cool shoes" and start up a normal conversation void of any intent. If people have their guard up "convincing" is never gonna happen. Too many want to try and force their opinion on others through weight of logic and debate. I find that very lacking and unfruitful. I get to know them,make them laugh,listen to them,ask questions,actually care to get to know them. The little personality traits they display will help establish a raport and know your angle of approach. They will see I am funny and want to make them laugh and have things in common. No rush to convince them of anything. Its like you dont rush trying to get someone to sleep with you by pressuring them. You make the experience pleasant and make them want to engage while you pick up little things about them that will help you get your point across. Its easier to convince a friend to do something than an enemy.

Rush nothing and let things play out, if the correct opportunity doesnt arrive then let it pass. When or if you see them again they will remember you in a positive light and you can continue in that way. When the time is right start with the smallest of things to get them to agree with you. Something or anything you know they will like "those are cool shoes arent they?". Them agreeing with you on the smallest of things primes the pump for them to agree on larger. Their mind is already agreeing with you and sees you as friendly. Then ever so slowly start to build on that, all while being content to walk away having "proved" nothing yet always building towards it.

As some would say, be wise as a serpent.

Yes, I was of course nitpicking. The only reason I did so is that others in this thread already seemed to be commenting based on that interpretation of your post, and in the followup comments you all seemed to be talking past each other. I don't disagree with the content of your original post in general.
Saying "Yes" to one thing equals saying "No" to other things. Make the cost of the Yes-Es explicit and have the requesting parties prioritize whenever possible (or request prioritization from the decision makers).

For the PM and boss: "to attend to this new task, I'll have to postpone these other tasks which you asked me to do. Which one is more important?" + paper trail + "this week we focused on Y and are pushing X one week" in status reports.

For the peers and subordinates: if the request is legitimate, discuss, brainstorm, "Here's how I'd approach finding a solution, try it and check in when you find a few possibilities. Google and SO are your friends."

And, for subordinates: teach them to think for themselves and to lead

Well... not disagreeing, but... when I turned on CNN at my sister's house, her 4-year-old toddler said "Donald Trump?! He's gonna kill the world!" And then when Trump said he's gonna Make America Great Again™, "He's gonna make America killed again!" My sister doesn't care about the news, or watch it, or anything of that nature, and she's Canadian, so... hmm! If only Canadian toddlers could vote
Aluminum exposed to air very quickly grows a thin passive layer of aluminum oxide (unlike steel rust, this layer is stable). Anodizing forces it to grow a thicker layer.

I know that Sumerian numbers were written in a combination of bases 6 and 10 (symbols represented, e.g., 360, 600, etc), but how do they get 29,086 out of those symbols?
Traditionally history is said to start where we have written records, the time before the being relegated to anthropology and archeology. But they say that the scope of economic history is larger because we have accounting records before we have written records. Before we had any clay tablets telling legends and recording the events of kings, we have the exchange rate between fish and barley, records of indebtedness, estimates for how many customers a shop might get in a day. Writing in the near-east was essentially developed as a more sophisticated accounting tool. So before I even clicked on the link, I was placing all my bets on a shopkeep. However, as a nitpick accounting as an individual profession really didn't develop until the industrial revolution when large corporations requiring high investment costs to leverage economies of scale led to changes in corporations and bankruptcy proceedings, establishing accounting as a specialty and profession in it's own right, rather than a skill that a business person was expected to learn. So Kushim wasn't an accountant, that's a very modern idea of a job. Kushim was a businessman who kept books to keep track of trade.

Does this line of service target solely the lack of connectivity, i.e. ISPs will not service you, or other issues like a slow/congested networks?

My main point is figuring out where the other end of the line is, at the original ISP, or beyond that. And please forgive my lack of vocabulary, I have limited networks knowledge.

What gear are you looking to deploy? What I have seen most WISPs deploy is either the Canopy (Cambium Networks) hardware, or the Ubiquiti hardware.

>Pre-agricultural hunter-gatherer societies were non-patriarchal and patriarchal societies only later became the norm with the rise of warlike/raiding and settled agricultural societies which co-evolved and co-depended on higher population densities.

I think that is unlikely, especially if the support of the entire social dynamic changing is the introduction of warlike/raiding and higher population densities.

For example, there are ~5,500 species of mammals, and only 3 species of mammals have female dominated social hierarchies, and the theory on those is evolutionary not social. Therefore, your statement would make humans only the 4th mammal having a female dominated society and the only species to change the power dynamic for social reasons. I can't refute there are and have been matriarchal societies as you mention, but like the mammal population that would be the exception not the rule.

Beware – Instapage Subscription Scam Tactics
So I signed up for the AppSumo 6-month promo plan a while ago, and I was not informed that my subscription was expiring. My subscription was auto renewed and card auto charged for 3 months (all without sending any billing email and no it's not in the spam box). I finally found out about all the charges and now they're not honoring a refund.

Is this how SaaS services get rich? To scam unsuspecting people who simply forgot about the subscription and have no idea that their account would be auto renewed and charged with zero notification?

Yeah, I suppose I'm just unhelpfully poking at the disjunction between my perception of time and the poster's, as illuminated by the phrase "still play with". From my perspective, VR was a thing that got massively overhyped the minute it was dreamed up, a beautiful idea that never had a chance to grow because there was such a stampede to get in and make money before anyone had figured out what was going on or what the limits were. It blew up and died, and that was a long while ago. It's kind of cool to see people taking another crack at it now, and I have some hope that the smaller, simpler, less ambitious version of VR people are talking about now might actually fly, given improvements in technology since. It's just funny to hear someone referring to this second wave of VR, which to me feels like something that is just in its beginning stages, as though it is something in the past that one might already be done with.
Sure. Those who haven't modernized their money-making technologies yet should stop relying on this security hole. There are alternatives.

I've been an atheist all my life, and as such have hung around on the fringes of the atheist movement. Over that time I've observed that the best way to get people to move away from faith is to let them question it themselves. I've seen so many flamewars where people just dig in and lob grenades at each other, and no-one moves. But the people who do rationally question their faith themselves - those are the people who move around. They don't change themselves because of an opponent's "perfect logical statement". It's also a slow process - most people moving away from faith take years to do it, at least, the ones I've seen.

I remember an episode of The Spirit Of Things, where they were talking to an atheist who used to be very christian, and was going to an adult Sunday School. She turned herself atheist by simply asking a lot of questions, like "wasn't it wrong of God to ask Isaac to slay his son in the first place". The more questions she had, the more she said the answers sounded more like evasion than solid moral grounding; that the priest was only able to excuse biblical actions rather than explain a real moral lesson from them. So she asked more questions and grew more and more dissatisfied with the lack of internal consistency.

Long story short, it means I see a point in asking people of their histories, and getting them to think about why they're where they are today; why they do the things they do today. I don't think that that means biography excuses bad actions, but that getting someone to give something deeper about themselves rather than just rote talking points... it brings something else to the table. It can also be interesting in and of itself.

TL;DR: You're more likely to win people over by inviting them than by opposing them. :)

A personality affectation characterized by the adoption of outmoded fashions, faux nostalgia for things and eras the hipster never themselves experienced, ostentatious self-awareness and histrionic introspection designed to showcase the hipster's own moral superiority relative to mainstream society, and above all irony as the sole mode of existence, the denial of the possibility of authentic non-referential experience, and the pervasive implicit and explicit ridicule of those who think that authentic, non-ironic, non-referential experience is possible.

The language used on this page is surprisingly poorly written. Can someone explain what this paper is actually demonstrating? I assumed that phd holders knew the rules for writing paper abstracts, but this abstract doesn't follow any of those rules?
Non-patriarchal != matriarchal. (I had originally written matriarchal but changed the comment quickly as I realised had conflated multiple possible prior scenarios)

In any event, humans are a known special case for lots of other stuff, as we have advanced cognitive function and predispositions to social reasoning and inter-generational cultural preservation, so to my mind your statistical argument is obtuse at best.

Thanks to the awesome plugin from Luke Hoban, VSCode has been great for writing Go. The best feature is the integrated debugging. Granted, it still relies on Delve, so you have the associated madness with taming that beast (self signing certs on OS X? Although that appears to gone now with the homebrew package).

But just being able to type some code, set a breakpoint, run to it, and inspect some locals makes me so much more productive than the Printf driven debugging that so many masochists still cling to.

> Your genes have a 'selfish' desire to propogate themselves into the future.

Common misunderstanding, but this is not true. Genes do not have any desires at all.

Dawkins wrote "The Selfish Gene" to explore a metaphor, not explain how biology actually works. He thought it would be an interesting way of looking at evolution, and he was right. It was so interesting that people started taking him literally.

Anyway, it seems obvious that taking care of kids is not a genetic inevitability, because of the large numbers of parents who fail to do a good job of taking care of their kids.

I'm not currently building a WISP, I'm building an auxiliary business for WISPs (Email in my profile if you're curious what it is - not really trying to promote here just yet) but since you asked I'll answer from past experience:

1) I've used Cambium and Ubiquiti and several others. Ubiquiti is hard to avoid because it's so damn cheap and it does work reasonably well, although Cambium is noticeably more robust. The latest stuff coming out is fixed 4G LTE, several companies pushing that gear in to the WISP space and I suspect that's where things will start to take off.

2) 30-50 for Cambium and Ubiquiti APs. Fewer if possible. On a large network the APs tend to be the bottle neck.

3) Fiber to primary POPs and then high capacity licensed wireless backhauls 2 to maybe 3 towers deep in the network. Depending on the local weather it's not unrealistic to get a licensed link that can support 800mbps to maybe 1.2 gbps over 3 to maybe 5 miles.
The techniques are interesting and clever, but isn't this "attack" only possible on websites that fail to properly protect against unapproved cross-origin requests, meaning they would be vulnerable anyway?

I re-read the specs to make sure [1] but isn't it on the server to alter the response to potentially nothing if the cross-origin response didn't come from source the server expects?

The paper says:

"Similar to the defense of blocking 3rd-party cookies, the web server could also block requests that are not legitimate. A popular way of doing this, is by analysing the
Origin and/or Referer request headers. However, it is
still possible to make requests without these two headers, preventing the web server to determine where to request originated from. As a result, this technique can not be used
to prevent attacks"

On the contrary; the cross-origin access control spec (last edit in 2014) has an entire section on how to prevent malicious cross-origin requests like this, with verbiage like:

"This extension enables server-side applications to enforce limitations (e.g. returning nothing) on the cross-origin requests that they are willing to service."

If the server properly implements cross-origin access control by, say, returning nothing, the malicious cross-origin requesting script can't perform reflection attacks, and there's nothing interesting to measure with TCP windows and compression and the like.

Open Letter to David Kalisch of the Australian Bureau of Statistics
I think it's sad that you think that "a lot of forgiveness, compassion, patience, and courage" is the hallmark of a hero, rather than the hallmark of a mature person. The article never said anything about heroism.
That's all well and good, unless you are the one being taken from. Why should someone's effort be rewarded with thievery?
If this would be so simple you would not see flash anywhere in the web for years already. Unfortunately it's not the case.
"Mastery can only be achieved through practice."

Try saying no to smaller things first.

Also, to get over the natural (for many people) social anxiety involved in saying no, try saying it a different way. Example: "Okay, I'd love to do this. Help me prioritize here, though. I've presently got to do X,Y, and Z. I can't do a good job with all 4 and stay on time. Should I cut X? Wait to tackle this? What do you think is best?"

Eventually you'll work up to speaking up and creating preventative measures. Eg "if we're going to frequently face interrupt-driven task priorities, we need to move to some Kanban-like and also give up on concrete milestones."

But yeah.. just start trying. Practice makes perfect. As long as your not a jerk about it and take care to explain yourself and not make a requester feel dismissed, nobody will hold saying no against you. (Unless you're just not as productive as others, or unless it's a crappy environment/culture, in which case you should bail if you can.)
