I think it's not something you can fake. You have to genuinely understand and value the other persons's opinion.

Also, for this to work in the long term, you have to allow yourself to lose the argument from time to time.

Sometimes you have to fold on purpose (even if you think your idea is better). Of course you have to do so strategically - You have to fold arguments when the consequence isn't very important - That gives you the ammunition to be very firm in your stance when the decision is important.

You don't want to be perceived like a 'cunning mule'.

I had a boss who used this trick of agreeing first and then disagreeing but they did it for EVERY argument - After spending a few months with this person, you notice the pattern. If someone wins every argument, it becomes noticeable and the trick doesn't work anymore - The workplace environment becomes tense.
libtiff.org is a major release behind.
The point of article is if you start any discussion with outright declaring someone wrong, there is no chance of you changing their thoughts. So you are right we have to start by conceding some points. Like in any negotiation you win by little bit of give and take.
Are you not using the isp provided router as a modem only? Why not do pppoe (or whatever) on your dd-wrt?

The NY Times probably would be uniquely influential for fine-dining because it's likely one of the few sources of shared information.

If you invite someone to an expensive restaurant that's just had a bad review, your invitation must mean either cluelessness or defiance. If you don't mean either of those two things, you should not choose that restaurant.

You can't "opt out" of this system. It doesn't matter whether you believe the reviews are accurate. It doesn't matter whether you believe the other party believes the reviews are accurate. Because the review constitutes shared information, the logic of pluralistic ignorance applies. It's not clever to ignore shared information. It just leads you to communicate badly.
I'll assume that you didn't mean that to be as snarky as it sounds.

The bastion host is not strictly necessary in the process. Although mfdutra didn't spell it out explicitly, they clearly have a means for accessing their core servers without needing to get on to the bastion - that's where the signing by hand comes in. The benefits of using LDAP in that case justify the cost of having an external dependency - by integrating with the central password store, the bastion provides a path into the system that delivers the desired security features (centralised identity management, auditing back to individual user accounts), but other paths can exist if needed.

That trade-off isn't applicable to core servers. If they use LDAP (exclusively) for authentication and the directory is down then you're hosed. There's no other path into the server that you're trying to admin other than to get onto the server.

You could use LDAP with a fallback to some other scheme (like signed certs, or a small set of locally defined users managed with a password vault, etc) but then you've got 2 different paths onto each server and both paths needs to be maintained, tested, and regularly audited. That's certainly possible, but why would you want to when you can just have 1 authentication mechanism that has zero dependencies.

Hit Reply – Episode 2: Productivity [audio]
Hey all

In the startup world, people seem to be judged on the number of hours they work each week, but is that the right metric to be tracking?

In this weeks episode we talk about productivity. How productive are we really being? Does time spent equal productivity and how can we increase our productivity?

As always we'd love to hear your thoughts, so Hit Reply and let us know
I hate Launchpad. You can organise any of the icons by name or date etc., just manually. Clicking around a grid of many icons is no fun (I am sure it is easy on a fresh empty Mac).
I use my Desktop for putting files I am working on before I have truly finished with them (sort of a TODO area). If they are out of sight, they go out of mind and I forget to deal with them.

Why is this? It sounds like having recognition of your model numbers is a bad thing, if you need to keep revving them so much.
M-. takes the last argument by default, but it can grab other arguments by using numeric arguments (M-1, M-2, etc.) that usually has the effect of repeating the next command.

I tend to be somewhat suspicious of any 'traditional' basic food getting too much bad press. Rice, bread, pasta. White rice tends to get some bad press here as well, along with white bread. Rice itself probably isn't a big deal. It is probably on par with the bread/pasta eaten in the states and Europe as far as health is concerned. There is healthier rice (brown and unpolished) and healthier bread, but we tend to eat the opposite.

But it tends to be a bigger problem if folks are also overweight - and folks aren't doing it by eating rice or bread alone. Large portions and simply eating too much and so on, adding in fast food and convenience food and all of the snacks. And it is a huge problem if you develop T2 diabetes because of the blood sugar spike.
* A poem works best, for me, when the writer doesn't tell, but when he or she invents combinations of specific words to show us old facts in new ways. *

I have a similar saying for philosophy; that it is to put the wrong words in the right order. I guess it applies to poetry too, or only.
1. Go to All My Files and order by date in list view perhaps?

2. Dependent on the application. Eg. for wxWidgets (which wraps Cocoa) you have to supply the default directory when the dialog is created. If you are a poor coder, you'll put a dumb value in here instead of remembering the CWD or recently used dir, hence the dialog showing the wrong dir all the time. It's basically down to each app to tell the dialog where it should start.

3. Not sure on this one - I thought it was a preference.

4. You can remove and add stuff - what else did you want to do? You wouldn't want that horrible places/links area of Windows 10's Explorer would you? It's horrible.

5. cmd-' I think, to switch windows inside the current app. Alternatively I map my bottom right screen zone as "show all windows", and map ctrl-up to do the same.

6. Daft isn't it? The menu font should decrease perhaps. The difficulty is I have loads of stuff in the menubar top right (sort of like Windows taskbar) so what can the menu do if it runs out of space?
With hardware you don't always have a reproducible known good state. Many changes aren't reversible. Certain tests can irreparably damage things.

This assumes that investments made with premiums are precisely equal with the margin kept by the insurer. Considering the variety of insurers, insurance products, seasonal variation, etc. this is a pretty wild assumption.

That said, insurers do make a profit on their income and make a profit on their investments. They may tell you that they have a negative combined ratio, but it's a misrepresentation, mainly for lobbying reasons. They only include base premiums in that calculation, not all the extras they sell (alloy wheel insurance, key/fob insurance, no-claims protection, etc).

Again though, it's worth pointing out that smart contracts aren't going to get regulator approval any time soon... and will probably never have access to re-insurance markets. Customers are also going to have a hard time trusting smart-contract based systems them after recent events.

The value of optimising for decentralisation over optimising for disruption* seems negligible in this case.

If you can create a crowd-sourced insurance pool there are tons of real tangible benefits, mainly coming from the fact that the customers and "insurer" are economically aligned (unlike a conventional insurer) so the incremental value (and cost) of making it decentralised doesn't seem worth it to me.

(source/disclaimer: I founded a p2p insurance startup)

Edit: added asterix and list of genuine benefits

- Since the "insurer" isn't on the hook for paying it doesn't need whitelists of "permitted" tradespeople, or price lists.

- It can share information freely about crime hotspots, health issues, etc. It can act on the customers behalf in order to keep them safe, and a happy customer.

- Customers in a pool can work together to solve problems

- A pool of safe (and lucky) drivers might see premiums drop to 25% of market rate, which mainly covers re-insurance costs

- Knowing the repurcussions of your actions will affect you and your pool group fairly directly may change some types of risky behaviour

- Lower incidence of fraud

( * By disruption I mean the proper sense of the word. It's an entirely different business model rather than just being an innovation. )

I thought XP's Explorer was the best, and it went downhill from there. I would have to agree with your appraisal of Windows 10's Explorer, which puts those stupid Action directory shortcuts back after every update, which I then to remove by forcing a registry key. I do not understand why you try and give users access to Documents and Downloads in 20 places and then hide the actual drives and directories, instead of educating users. Nobody struggled using Win 3.11 File Manager.

Calculator and Pictures are the big UniversalApp failures. Thank goodness you can use the bundled older Photo Viewer as it doesn't take minutes to start. Weirdly, UWP apps are just COM apps like everything else so why are they so slow????
x86 is really the oddity here -- it has its no-explicit-cache-maintenance design because of wanting to maintain backwards-compatibility with self-modifying code that was written for x86 cores that had no caches at all. Almost all other architectures have explicit cache maintenance because it's more efficient (and requires less hardware), at the minor cost of requiring the very few bits of software which do odd things like JITting to explicitly tell the CPU what they're doing.

An instruction for flushing an entire region would potentially have a very long execution time, which is awkward because you would want to be able to interrupt and resume it. So it would need "how far have I got" state stored somewhere. The obvious observation from a RISC-architecture point of view is that you can get the equivalent effect without the pain of making a long-running interruptible instruction, by having an "invalidate one cache line" instruction plus an explicit loop in the code, and that's what most architectures do.
Hi mjn! I am living in the UK at the moment, and I'm occasionally experiencing the very same issue. My OSX device randomly drops packets (for 30s at a time), while my Android phone has no issues. I am connecting to the internet via a broadband wifi router.

I tried rebooting the router, but that does not always resolve the problem. However, when I reboot the Mac, the problem goes away for at least a couple of days.

There's also the problem of working within technical limitations. Even with standard file formats there can be much more involved than just dumping files into a project.

I would imagine artists need to be involved in technical discussion and would need to learn & bug-test custom software for importing and processing assets. It seems like a different skillset to traditional art & design backgrounds.
Could this training actually produce some harmful organisms or will they be out competed by their antibiotic susceptible counterparts.
A related question that I've been grappling with is how do you tell someone that they don't understand something, and that they really need to work a lot harder to do so? That an attitude change is required in order to get to where the actual experts are.

That sounds like the NAT table has filled up.

Incidentally, this is often the cause of problems with "routers" that people experience --- it's not the (IP) routing part that's giving trouble, as that's stateless and involves not much more than packet forwarding. Things like NAT do involve state, since the router has to assign a port mapping and keep track of (TCP) connection lifetimes. If connections aren't closed correctly or the router misses detecting them for whatever reason, the port mappings will stay in the table until they time out (which may take hours or more) or the "router" is rebooted. The problem becomes more frequent the more devices there are on the network which are making connections.

The day I met Rob was one of the best days of my career. It was my first day working at Blizzard, and I was totally in the dark about what the game I was going to be working on, other than it was the "Next-Gen MMO" project. So imagine the excitement of going to work at Blizzard, plus the anticipation of finding out what this mystery project is that you didn't even find out about during your interviews.

So on the first day, the other programmer starting that day and I sit down with Rob Pardo and he starts pitching the game to us — laying out the vision, the origins and the goals for what we were building, with considerable enthusiasm and imagination. Surely, this was the same pitch that convinced the heads of the studio to approve the project. It was tremendous. I wanted to get to my desk and start working right away so I could bring this vision closer to reality.

In contrast, at most places I've worked before and since, I showed up and found out about the project I was working on by way of some random demo, reading outdated documents or a process of detective work. Having a reveal and actual presentation as part of a threshold event like the first day on the team was really powerful. I felt like I was carrying the fire now. The inspiration from that first day provided us a full tank of gas and directions for the long journey we were going on.

Everyone talks about how crucial it is to hire well, but then we only grudgingly find time for interviews. In the same way, even though we know inspirational leadership is essential for creative work, it's not easy to plan to meet that need in each team member's experience. Even though it's far less in-depth than, say, the multi-week process at Facebook, that one presentation Rob did on my first day at Blizzard meant a huge amount to me, and I'll never forget it.
There is a particular video of Feynman about scientific method where he describes the dual slit experiment. He notes that the "scientific method" should have been able to reproduce exactly where the electrons will go, in different experiments. The experiments are not reproducible in that sense, but only "statistically" which is a completely different thing. Feynman beliefs are irrelevant.

There is also the argument that if you yourself do not accept evidence that creationists do, that does not mean that evidence is not there.

You might also want to read/see Hamming about science and how mathematics is not exactly free from presuppositions.

And there is also the Goldbach conjecture where you find that a system generates facts about itself that can be demonstrated only by going outside the system - ad infinitum.

I did not read the paper you mentioned but God does not exactly work like people regularly assume, that is "you pray and God will do you good".

At least in Germany we had the so called "Routerzwang". Some ISPs allowed third party equipment, but many didn't. You'd get a modem / router / AP combo device and the ISP had complete control over the firmware. Since there was no competition, most ISPs didn't care about the quality of their software or even security updates.

Interestingly, none of the two Bash versions in the comments are equivalent to your code, which kind of prove your point with Bash being tricky. `while sleep 1` means the script will sleep once before running `df`, while it should only sleep after. The other command also won't work because it's missing colons between commands.
The point I wanted to make was that OP sacrificed compatibility with all major distros for being rid of "; do", essentially.

I just don't see the point. Bash might have flaws, nothing is perfect, but it's one vital piece of software that most distros have installed.
