There's also the possibility that her behavior was exaggerated in the article. Unlikely? Maybe, maybe not. That said, there are some especially nasty people who are often in positions they have no business being. This may be such a case. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I was also thinking of circumstances that may help explain her behavior. It's difficult, but here's what I came up with (this is merely speculation; I have no idea what may have been going through her mind): 1) She may have been afraid of getting fired if things weren't done exactly by the book, 2) she may have been afraid the airline would be liable for anything the doctor did (and perhaps, by extension, herself), 3) perhaps she knew something about the under-stocked medical supplies and fear or repercussions lead to her (re)actions, 4) she had zero empathy, or 5) simply distrusted the doctors.

In the case of #1, there's not much you can do outside rectifying the company's culture. If employees are so terrified of being fired for assisting, or allowing someone qualified to assist, in an emergency, there's something horribly wrong with that organization.

As for #2, the same may apply with #1, but if the airline is afraid of being liable for an in-flight emergency they shouldn't be in that business, and they certainly shouldn't place the burden of determining liability on the shoulders of a flight attendant when they can afford a legal team.

#3 is a bit of a stretch, but given the discussion above, it seems surprising to me that the medkit would be so sorely under-stocked. Possibly an extension of #2.

#4 is probably the real culprit, although your explanation of stress or life circumstances may be much more likely. Perhaps she was tired and cranky. (Still, not an excuse, but people do strange things when they're tired or ill.)

#5 is also a possibility, but if you're trapped in an aluminum cylinder tens of thousands of feet above the middle of an empty ocean, you really ought to reconsider your career choices if the only people who might be able to save a passenger's life are the very people you don't trust.

There's another point I read above that I agree with. If the flight attendants aren't letting you do what you can to help a passenger, perhaps getting the pilot-in-command to assess the situation might be a better option if time and circumstance allow. They likely don't want to be held responsible for someone dying on their aircraft, and they probably have experience with in-flight passenger-related emergencies. They can instruct the flight crew on an appropriate course of action, even if that action is to simply stay out of the way.

Oh, one other possibility is that the head flight attendant seemed overly preoccupied with other passengers' comfort. In a situation like that where someone might die, passenger's comfort probably shouldn't enter the equation. Sure, you don't want to endanger them, and maybe you don't want to inconvenience them (much), but if it's a life or death situation... give me a break!

Gosh, this post is a bit ranty. Sorry about that.

No real surprise. E-ink readers are still only available with black and white displays. Their screens are mostly shaped to fit a small paperback.

Physical books, in contrast, come in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes. Yes, tablets come in larger sizes and with high resolution colour screens, but they still aren't as comfortable to read as paper or even e-ink displays.

On my first aid training (UK) we were told that no court has ever passed a conviction based on someone trying to provide help in an emergency. It's only one data point, but it seems morally right to me.

I can't speak from personal experience, but my mum refuses to fly internationally to Australia with anyone but Qantas. From what she's related, US carriers are horrible, and I'd agree. Comparatively speaking, it's probably a coin toss as to who's better regarding Qantas/ANZ.

Though the bias of my heritage may be showing, I'd strongly suggest going with Qantas. ;)
It's probably not "rechecking" but having it replaced once it's used (it's obvious to the crew when that happens)

Lesser known is actually worse. Less work by the community on removing security holes vs an attacker who can concentrate efforts.

I know the inexorable pull of Godwins Law, but this is a reasonable fear - Trump is standing at the top of a slippery slope, Berlusconi is further down the same slope, and the history of the 20th C shows where the slope goes.

Putting up warning signs, even contentious ones, at the top of the slope is reasonable.

(I read the same article and it is worth noting that a decade ago, every Italian I spoke to began conversations with "I am sorry about Berlusconi ...")

I am not advocating ignoring all discussion of issues raised by Trump or (trumping?!) all his issues with the Nazi card, but it is a part of his background and appeal and should be calmly assessed along with other issues of protectionism, labor rights and more.
> You don't have a right to modify the device you purchased.

Under GPLv3 you have the right to modify the device you purchased if the manufacturer (or the person you bought it from) has the same ability. Linus doesn't like the GPLv3 for what appears to be I-dont-care-about-user-freedom reasons, which is why only parts of the kernel are under GPLv2-or-later. But that's the main reason why I make all of my projects GPLv3, so that users are protected in this instance as well.
Many (maybe most) languages are OK with changing behaviour/code between debug and release builds, e.g. disabling `assert`s and even the optimisations themselves. Of course, this is suboptimal in some cases, and thus providing a way to disable it is good and thus rustc has -C debug-assertions=on, and a currently-unstable flag to control just the overflow checks themselves. Seguing from that first flag, Rust makes it explicit when an assertion is OK to omit by providing both debug_assert! (removed in release) and assert! (never removed), so I guess Rust is in a middle ground that's the reverse of the middle ground of a language like, say, Swift, which removes assertions but not overflow checks in its default optimised build.

>faster and more stable than 7.

You tricked by update cycle. Each new version is faster because has no updates that fix holes. Test it, install new virtualboxed w7sp1 into w7sp1 with updates and feel the difference.

That's the reason why I never install updates (this forces me to be ultracareful on the web, but I'm ok).
Yeah people have the right to ne stupid.
The problem is that pretty much nobody used Windows 8 on anything other than desktop/laptop devices.

Microsoft had to start building their own tablets to push other manufacturers to build Windows tablets, too. They literally had to buy the only company making Windows phones exclusively to ensure that somebody makes Windows phones (even though nobody seems to want to buy them).
This is the kind of thing the EFF should be doing more of!
>I've never understood why U.S. is so protective in terms of citizenship.

The American electorate believes unemployment is caused by an improper ratio of people to jobs, and it can be solved both by increasing the number of jobs and decreasing the number of people.

In this theory, your friend's expulsion was a victory for the American who took over her job, and for the unemployed person who entered the labor market (if not directly, then via a domino effect).

We are comparatively loose with immigration statuses that don't permit work. Tourist, student, etc. visas are relatively trivial to obtain. We have programs that allow work which doesn't compete with Americans, such as international performing arts groups on tour. We even have programs to fill jobs that Americans aren't available to fill (H1B for highly skilled labor, seasonal farm workers, etc).

The moat is built around statuses that permit competition with Americans for jobs in general. It remains this way because Americans do not generally consider or believe Econ 101 ideas like that trade necessarily benefits both sides of the exchange (or they would not make it), more workers also means more consumers, cheaper labor => cheaper goods and services => higher standard of living, etc.

It's just one side of the big picture. If the economy had never recovered, that would be the only cause. However, it surpassed 1990 levels long time ago and in last 25 years there was investment in industrial capacity too (steel, cement, electricity). And there are 3 times more cars now on the streets which are the biggest source of emissions in cities like Moscow, but Russia - the biggest automotive market in Europe btw - is gradually applying European emission standards (currently Euro-5, one step behind EU). There is industrial policy in place which favors environmentally friendly manufacturing and mining and it works better than in China (e.g. just few days ago the Supreme Court confirmed the position of Ministry of Environment to deny construction of large copper mine near Chelyabinsk, which could bring thousands of jobs, because it could harm the quality of water).

The industrial revolution would most likely have never occurred in Britain without such reforms as intellectual property and land rights.
These loans aren't taken out to cover costs but to fund investment in new lines of business, or a 10-100x expansion of an existing one.

Since nobody in your industry buys millions of dollars worth of servers, you should consider doing it. You could create a new market which you own, or elevate yourself from someone who rents capacity to the company renting it out. It could be the business opportunity of your life.
Maybe not only because of that, but abortion was pretty common in Roman Empire. If you think it requires modern medicine to conduct abortion then you are mistaken.

If all you need is some quick command-line tools, Cygwin may be right for you (ask your doctor today!). You get POSIX abstractions around your Windows environment/filesystem/etc.

Yeah sure... "Poverty is the problem, not inequality". That's just lobbying and self-delusion into believing that improving the riches always ends up improving the poors. John Rawls where are you? Equality does not mean having the same amount of money. That's naive and uninformed. Equality means sharing everything. It means that the nids of the riches and the poors will go to the same schools, that everybody goes to the same hospitals, etc. Of course it implies that these services must be good enough so that the riches wont look for something else. But then you can have both poors and equality.
Ironically studies of mafia show that they win by providing government services to those without. Anarchy is desirable by no one and when government a not reach then we turn to any strongman to bring order and predictability - it is the essential definition of government.

Don't blame governments for being mafia, blame us for not forcing them to behave. We need a public debate on the meaning of privacy and the ownership of personal computing.
It isn't even just tiling managers. As a user of a "traditional" floating window manager I find the Mac window manager painfully inadequate. There are some programs that will help but they don't make it nearly as pleasant to use as KDE, GNOME or any other DE I have tried on linux.

I don't quite understand the other replies, or maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think you did wrong except maybe not kicking him out your office sooner. Since when is it okay to lie on your resume? Seriously, is that a cultural thing maybe? IMO, it's fine to word things so that they sound more impressive (also, many people would understate their real achievements otherwise), but to state actual untruths, falsehoods in your resume?

I'd say that's when the interview is over. What are you thinking, "well they may have proven to be untrustworthy and willing to lie to my face, but hey let's continue the interview and see if they have any redeeming qualities to make up for it".

I'd have asked them a few short low-ball questions about those three lines (just to have them dig a whole with some vague answers). Then confront them with the original, watch/enjoy the reaction for a short moment, and calmly tell them to get out of my office. No need to waste much more time on it than that.

Or are people suggesting that, maybe, this candidate might just actually have had experience with projects fitting those exact three descriptions, and merely Googled and copied the wording for its eloquence? Which would be plagiarism but not quite outright dishonesty. Kind of. Also I wouldn't believe it for a minute.
They probably do, but that doesn't mean they want to live there.

In Australia my understanding is that there are laws preventing exactly this. This comes from a relative who's a registered nurse.

I wouldn't call this a YouTube alternative. Like it or not a YouTube alternative would have to be able to pay the content creator while delivering their content to users for free. It's quite sad but for now we do not have other models than advertisement for that.

Otherwise, technologically, LBRY is interesting, it makes me think of IPFS and ZeroNet (which could have both been used as backend maybe?).
Do not take seriously doctoral dissertations of anyone in Russian government but few people with academic background. They are written not to make scientific contribution, but to get "d.something.n." prefix (doctor of some sciences) and a line in CV. They have nothing to do with their real position or policy they enact or implement. Actually, some dissertations may be even written by other people (see Dissernet data mining project to reveal corruption in this field).

In Russia the only policy you can know for sure is the codified policy. Public statements cannot be treated seriously until they are codified, because very often they are made as means of information warfare, messages to specific groups of special interests. Look at the laws, court decisions, government orders etc. Sometimes you can figure out what's really going on only retrospectively, by looking at statistics and filtered stream of the news.
No-one cares about not hiring a liar, or about calling that person a liar. People care about the needlessly provocative way it was done.
Once those companies start shipping at volume they will be at the mercy of price rises in the LI battery market, something Tesla will soon be insulated against.

Those other companies will need to build their own gigafactories to present serious competition to Tesla in the EV market. Tesla will soon control over 50% of the worldwide supply of LI battery cells. It's not a loss for Tesla if Tesla's EV competitors are buying the most significant part of the EV off of Tesla.

Its more than that - the thing is that America was the place where things "just worked". Thats why lots of people in the 80s immigrated.

This stuff is common sense for most agencies to deal with. Lived over 24 years here, born a baby - lets solve this.

Its tragic to be honest. More than anything else, seeing that crumble is disheartening. More than wars, more than Trump.

>Most people want to stick with 7 just because of nostalgia

Are there quality guides to customize Windows 10?

The inability to minimize and customize Windows 10 is really starting to grate on me.

Win 10 keeps making decisions for me and does not let me choose.

I have had to configure Windows 7 and Windows 8 Embedded for work so I am used to being able to configure Windows to minute detail.

I wonder if MSFT will even release Win 10 embedded.
There are a couple of things worth mentioning here.

1. "I have kids that I can use my vacation time for". If you think this way, you shouldn't apply for a job at a startup. You need to be prepared that there is a good chance for you to not spend a minute with your family, nor to have a vacation, over next months/years.

2. From what I learned, startups don't necessarily hire the best technical person. The are looking for the best motivated one. From what you write, it may appear that you are not really motivated/interested.

A few years back I was looking for a job and spent about half a year to manage that. Got rejected by, probably, 100 companies, and got only two offers. And not because I am a jerk or technically incompetent. It's just in most cases I was not really interested, and I believe people saw that. So, it looked really strange and unfortunate to me, but I totally understand why it happened, and don't blame anyone except for myself.

Usually, it's your fault, in fact. You might be not well prepared, you didn't sleep last night, you don't care about the company/product, you don't have enough skills that they require, you behave offensive, you are late for the interview, and so on.

You know, I am not defending the interviewers and hiring managers, but they all have their point as well. It's you who wants to change your job, so it's all on you. Regardless of how ridiculous the interview process may appear to you.
Intentionally changing vocabulary and grammar on such a scale, to achieve those goals is Orwellian in the worst sense. I hope people continue to express their ideas in different (and hopefully unique) ways, so that each piece adds a different perspective and helps us see and understand things a little better.

> penalizes legal residents waiting for their citizenship

How does another person receiving a benefit penalize your brother?

By the same logic, we should all insist on vicious assaults on new military recruits, because that's how it was done years ago.

As a society we should seek to improve the way we treat people, maximizing practical utility (tax-paying illegal immigrants are benefiting society) and seeking fairness. Chasing fairness as a primary goal is a fruitless endeavor.

I think it's awful for both your brother and society that he was required to wait so long to get his citizenship. Should we repeat the same mistakes out of a misguided attempt at fairness?
Only the original footage was lost. It was still broadcast to millions and there are multiple recordings of these broadcasts. If you read the article you'd find that NASA actually released a restored version of the footage. So no, they don't want you to forget what happened. Lastly I know it's pretty hip to be a conspiracy theorist, but there's a really good video rebutting common claims for it being faked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXTF6bs1IU

I must be misunderstanding you - you're not saying that US industry has a low environmental impact are you?
I'm under the impression that all US airlines are terrible. Really bad service and everything feels low quality. And they make you pay for everything.
In a VM the hardware is fake, and usually works on most OSes.
The real hardware is the problem here, because it only has official drivers for Windows 10. The CPU is fine.
Using a VM makes it more difficult to use some features of real hardware, even if it is still technically possible to pass real hardware into a VM. It's a usability issue.

What people want is to have their favorite OS or OSes on the newest hardware. But sometimes the hardware and OS makers collude to make older tech obsolete.
