If you don't have HR, find an HR professional for this.

Performance improvement plan is what your going to put him on.

Your going to want to document what is going on, and your going to want to be out about why your doing it. The HR professional is there to make sure you hit all the marks before you let him go. The last thing you want is to "fire someone" and end up in court.

Some people shape up, some people quit, some people you have to let go.

If you here there are issues "at home" then you may be more sympathetic, but stick to the plan and be a compassionate ear if you can.

> If Amazon's strategy is hugely successful, but everyone else already thought Amazon's strategy was going to be even more hugely successful and had priced that in, then you could be 100% correct about your question and lose money.

Yet, Amazon is about 100% more valuable stock wise in 2016 vs. 2014. The strategy is about the same.

The real question is: "How will stock X perform vs some baseline". I use a 90/10 VTI/BND portfolio as that baseline. If you have the time to understand how to answer that question, you can make a good return as an individual investor. (Either by identifying good investments, or reverting to the baseline)

For example, if as a tech person, you used your insights into the industry and ended up picked any one of Amazon, Apple, Red Hat, Oracle and/or Google as investments 10 years ago, as part of a diversified basket of 4-5 stocks, you would have beat a safe Boglehead portfolio by a significant margin, even factoring in the market implosion in 2008/9. If you picked Apple or Amazon, you hit a home run.

It depends on your needs though. If you're saving for college and your kid is 16, you need a portfolio with a lower volatility. If you're retired and need income, you want to minimize volatility and minimize tax impact. If you're a mid-career professional like me who won't need a dime until 2030, you can take more risks.

JACK doesn't have Bluetooth support, nor array microphone support. It is also terrible on battery, and doesn't perform correctly on a non-realtime kernel.

That's not to say JACK isn't useful; but it isn't a solution to the desktop audio problem, it's a solution to the professional audio problem.

JACK also doesn't have the semantics and auto-configuration code which makes Pulseaudio work out of the box, and it is considerably more difficult to make JACK control clients. These are more reasons why even though JACK existed before Pulseaudio, it was not integrated with common user applications.

Yup. This is note even a remotely surprising story. If you're building your business on Google, you're building your business to be arbitrarily shut down. You should not operate any business critical service or store any business critical data on any Google product or service.

Darwinian evolution only explains the propagation or elimination of random genetic mutations via sexual reproduction.

It does not explain economic/memetic evolution. Ideas can be created by one person working alone, or millions working in concert, even asynchronously, where someone might synthesize a line from the epic of Gilgamesh with a line by an 18th century poet, a drawing from a 19th century industrialist, and an article by a 20th century biologist, to create something useful to a 21st century customer.

As humans now employ that mode of development, we do not need to produce offspring to test the fitness of a new strategy. It is actually in our best interest to throw every conceivable idea at the wall to see what sticks, yet still preserve every failed idea on the off chance that it could be made to work under different circumstances.

We use specialist economics now. Every person, no matter how fit, can still advance human society as a whole by exclusively doing the one thing they are best at, and trading for everything else. The only limiting factor is the cost of keeping a human body healthy enough to perform useful labor. Because of that, the endpoint of specialist economics is single-purpose machines performing all labor, and humans inventing new labors for the machines to perform.

Stephen Hawking is fit enough by genetic evolutionary standards to have three children. But by memetic evolution, he has thousands of students that have read his work, and millions who know just a bit more about the universe--and black holes in particular--as a result of it. Without the support assistance of human civilization, he would have died long ago. It was in our best interest to hook him up to whatever machines were necessary to let him do the one thing that he could still do best: think.

Therefore, there are no unfit organisms to be culled in a civilization of generalists who may reprogram themselves into specialists. Every living human can dream up something new and unique that can be done. But our knowledge and creative capacity is finite. Every moment of effort spent solving and re-solving the problems of human necessities cannot also be spent dreaming up ideas not immediately relevant to survival or happiness and researching them into reality.

If we had more people allowed to dream and do, instead of pressing their faces to the grindstone, we would have more impossible dreams coming true. And some of those dreams will coincidentally benefit the Darwinian fitness of all Earth species, because they will become multiplanetary species.

This is why Social Darwinism is crap. We have not only horizontal meme transfer, but vertical as well, from written records. Every new idea may be combined with any, all, or none of the old ideas. This creates a combinatorial explosion of possibilities, where the unfit ideas must be culled, not the unfit thinkers. This means that it is in society's best interest to debunk lies, unravel obfuscations, and aggressively destroy deceptions as early as they may be detected, lest they become an immortal influence on all ideas that will follow.

> They’ll think I invited them to coffee because I have a crush on them.

This is so true. I'm an aromantic lesbian, so even though I'm attracted to women, I have no desire to date anyone. But I'm worried people won't know that I'm aromantic and will think I'm hitting on them when I just want to hang out and maybe become friends.

A few years ago, I pretty much botched any chance I had to be friends with one of my female coworkers, who was a really cool person I'd have liked to hang out with more. Unfortunately, I was afraid to talk to her, ask her to hang out after work, etc., because I was terrified she'd think I have a crush on her and was hitting on her. It doesn't help that I'm transgender and I knew her before my transition, so I was always afraid she'd think of me as just being another guy trying to get into her pants. Oh, and it didn't help that I was jealous of her, because she looks pretty much exactly how I want to look but will never be able to (dysphoria is a powerful thing).

As such, I was terribly awkward around her, and every time I wanted to hang out with her or anything, I either decided against it or was so nervous and awkward that anyone around me could tell.

I'm a little better at it now, thankfully.

And, yes, I'm the kind of awkward person who over-analyzes every conversation I've ever had with anyone.

There's no mediocrity there's just this illusion created by the very riches and powerful to make even more money, to create a crazy game to make us feel bad and always keep charging for the carrot.

Uh, no. There are a lot of medicore people (I'm one of them) and a few winners.

Life is a competition. Never, ever forget that! Those who are the strongest, smartest, richest, best-looking, socially-aware and most driven are the ones who will probably succeed. (There's always luck involved.) They will get the best jobs (or not have to work), the best mating opportunities, the best everything.

Every minute of every day you are not spending on improving yourself and your position in this world is wasted time. If you do not struggle, you will not succeed, period.

Now, having given you a motivational speech that a Chinese "tiger mom" would find barely adequate at best... the question is, what does this have to do with happiness and overall life satisfaction?

Well, almost nothing. Success can provide opportunities for happiness, but that actually has to be pursued on its own. And the things you need to do for happiness are often in opposition to the things you need to do for success.

What I really want people to do is to just be aware of the tradeoffs. If you want to coast through life, that's fine, as long as you have a good understanding of the costs and benefits.

But life really is a competition.
Be careful with machine translated Simp to Trad. Traditional to Simplified character mapping is 1 to many.

AArch64 is a very clean ISA. From an architectural point of view, I wouldn't be upset if AArch64 eroded away x86-64.

Of course, I don't want to sacrifice competition. It'd be awesome to see Intel and ARM competing in features, performance, power, and price on a simple target for compilers and programmers.

(Yes, I know as a practical matter x86-64 will never go away; it's simply that I like the direction the market is going.)
So uh, no actual experiment here. Even with the methods they're using we're not really getting causality. Seems like they're just saying cat people (or raw meat eaters) are more into BDSM.
I don't run that kind of extension [0], but that's the reason I included this line:
> That same entity compromised my browser, curl, my Linux laptop, Windows desktop, Android phone and 3 different networks.
At least 3 platforms, potentially different 3 browsers, plus command-line.

If I want to do this "properly" it's a lot of work. I'd get 3 or more independent VPN providers and run the test while connected to each, independently or in series. I'd run everything in a VM that I created from a verified source 5+ years ago on hardware from 10+ years ago[1]. I would have to categorize and confirm that every vulnerability in all software was either fixable via configuration, or couldn't contribute to remote compromise of the box. I'd run the test with and without Tor, hard-resetting the VM to its initial state for every variation and comparing the results across every run to detect abnormalities. I'd confirm the content at Archive, CommonCrawl, Yahoo, Google and at least one foreign provider, Yandex or Baidu or whoever else I could track down. I'd look for that same string in all places I could find it (web, newsgroups, torrents, friends, friends-of-friends), and confirm that neither those pages nor any linked pages contain invalidations, or if any of them contain further evidence to support the identity of said key. By "linked" I mean both links from those pages, and anything I could discover via search engine pointing to those pages independently. I'd go find some old torrents or archives of older versions of the binaries and/or signatures, and confirm that their content matches the published content. I'd confirm that the old key was in use before 0.11, and that the new key is indeed the one that signed release 0.11+. I'm sure there are some further steps I could take to invalidate any known or theorized attacks from state-level agencies, but at this point it's probably more difficult to fake than a GPG signature.

And obviously I'm a sockpuppet - nobody should listen to random strangers on the internet without verifying their identity as well! You could look at my keybase profile, but A) that's easy to fake and B) that's not the key I used to sign above - clearly something hinkey is going on. ;)

I've always wondered this. I assume it's because it causes at least a 10x increase in server load by changing the bid and reload dynamics, and with so many auctions going on at once it would have a material effect on their systems. So instead you are supposed to use the 'reserve' feature and not DDoS them.

Also, I think they found most people really don't want to spend all day sitting in front of a screen trying to buy something. 'Buy It Now' was a really big deal for eBay, it makes up an increasingly large percentage of their revenue. [1]

As the giant in the room, Intel has further to fall. Intel's market cap is more double that of AMD, ARM and Nvidia combined.

Intel's real competitors are TSMC and GlobalFoundries, who are architecture agnostic. TSMC's market cap is ~90% of Intel's; GF are private, but they're probably in the same ballpark.

Intel is in a unique (and uniquely challenging) position as both an IP and fab company. This vertical integration has proved highly profitable for Intel, but it is also highly risky. Their recent decision to start manufacturing ARM chips points at this uncertain future - diversification is a high priority if they are to reliably recoup the costs of <10nm fabs.

The desktop market that Intel dominate is dying a slow death. Intel has failed miserably in the mobile market and are under threat on several fronts in the server and HPC market. x86 has been a tremendous asset for Intel, but it could easily become a hindrance. Intel is really two very different businesses (IP and fab) that are shackled together.
I don't know that all of that is due to social media. It just used to be that people took their photos with Kodaks and forced their friends to watch slideshows of them standing in front of things for which they waited in line.

There are "pari-mutual" betting systems, for instance the system used for horse racing in New York State, which are very market-like by design. Instead of an oddsmaker as in the European or Vegas systems, the odds on a particular outcome (e.g. a particular horse to win/place/show) are determined by market activity: the weight of bets on that horse vs. others in that race.

http://thefinalwager.co/2015/04/28/horse-racing-parimutuel-w...

If you are honestly better at judging the ability of particular horses and jockeys to win races than the average market participant, it is possible (at least in theory, I don't know how many people do it in practice) to make money.

However, the house "takeout" is pretty high; most places are 15+% on straight bets and can be more than 20% on exotic bets (Exactas, Quinellas, etc.). If not for the high takeout, it would be a very nice system for the bettor.

The only time I've ever made money at a horse track was a time when I went with a friend who rode and owned horses, and we spent the entire day in the paddock area (not even watching the races), watching the horses and jockeys come in. She pointed out particular instances where she thought the favorite didn't seem likely to win, and in those cases I'd put down straight bets on the next-best favorite horses, essentially "shorting" the favorite. It worked pretty well, enough to get around the house takeout and almost offset the drinks we consumed in the process. Not exactly something you'd want in your 401k, but not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

The point of the policy is that you're responsible for budgeting your own time. If you need less sick leave, take less sick leave. If you need more, take more.

I think it explains the reason for your point: that people aren't being prepared for a career in software development (and particularly user interface design) by a curriculum that is overtly not focused on software development, and particularly overtly not focused on human/software interaction, is unsurprising, and not a problem of curriculum being poorly designed for its overt purpose.
