you do realize that there were black slaveholders as well?
matter of fact, one of the (if not THE) first "officially documented" slaveholders was black (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist))
Hmm... I strongly disagree with your assumptions. But, hackers have long debated the meaning of the word "free", so who am I to say?

I guess we will have to update the Jargon file to include your curious new definition, "free as in free when compared to specific things that Slack Technologies Inc. sells".
I don't know if I entirely agree with the "fall on your sword" argument. Sometimes it applies, but not always. There's definitely a grey area. At some point, the leverage becomes coercive, and to deny that allows force to hide in the guise of distributed responsibility. It allows the corrupt to shift blame onto middlemen who are sometimes just as much the victims of force as those down the line.

Theory is what matters.
It was (arguably) the dominant way of looking at the world prior to the 1960s. It's possibly Biblical in its origins so it may have been around even before the Bible.
Meaning FB is too fucking stupid to hire a person who knows the difference between child porn and iconic war images. It's not that rare to find people with common sense who can discern the two, even in the US. From what I understand, all these decisions get made by actual humans at FB and therefore have nothing to do with algorithms. The algorithm may flag the initial image, but it's the stupid human that approves that decision.
They are spam accounts, not porn accounts. Please don't tell me you can't tell the difference.
Not just that, but it's "invite-only" at the moment. So it's all hype and advertising. I'm excited at the prospect of such a service on the horizon, though.
Too little too late?

You and I wish that was the case. This is a minor concession made by Facebook that they and their apologists be able to use for years to trumpet about how their content polices are oh-so reasonable, and that they're super duper flexible and thoughtful. That those very few rare cases where they overstep are reconsidered and rolled back.

If they fix all the high-publicity cases, then it's easy to sell the idea that they're always doing the right thing. Otherwise why aren't more people complaining?

Incorporated entities enjoy the benefit of "limited liability"[0], ie: if your company does something "bad" you can't be liable beyond your share capital contributions. For example, if you make a self driving car and sell it, and it results in harm, and someone sues the company, you can't lose any of your personal assets; rather your only loss can be the capital which you put into the company.

tl;dr: if you do something commercial as a sole trader and not as a company, it's possible for you to be sued for your personal assets.

Bullshit Jobs
Whether those needs ought to be satisfied is a question in its own right. How do we decide which needs should be satisfied and which shouldn't be? Not only that, but these needs arise out of attachment and clinging and a mind that has not been kept steady. Based on hate and delusion, in many cases.

I personally do not think that so much importance should be given to the mental state of people affected by trauma. I mean no offense to them, but due to inadequate training in dealing with emotions (which pretty much everyone lacks) their minds are often affected and not kept steady.

I suspect that this is one of the reasons why we don't let victims decide penalties. But judges and especially juries can be affected by outrage, hatred and delusion too. They also cling.
Extra steps? I'm not sure I follow.

Same in Denmark; you only need capital for certain kinds of limited liability companies.
Can you set up 401k and all the other "corporate only" type things with a sole proprietorship or does it just become a legal shield with everything else as passthrough?
Apparently made by Gretel: http://gretelny.com
For those of us who are uneducated / haven't seen this before: how do you use rebase to merge a separate branch? Are you suggesting you just `git rebase my-branch` from master / develop? How do you coordinate this with multiple team members. Merges appear to work better when you have multiple team members with separate feature branches that may have some overlap (conflicts may occur, but those can be handled as they arise).
Liability protection, if nothing else. If someone sues a company, they can't (in theory) take the CEO's house. Also, in the US, you can save a bunch of money on payroll taxes if you elect to be taxed as an S-corp. The short version is that you only pay those taxes (Social Security, FICA, Medicare, etc etc) on money you get in paychecks -- so, if you make $100k in a year and "pay" yourself $70k, you end up with the other $30k but didn't have to pay a bunch of tax on it.
Maybe not, but they certainly can have a human review every single potential image after the fact (which they do if I remember correctly) because relying on an algorithm to do this is simply impossible and therefore even dumber than not being able to hire proper content screeners.
I haven't seen IPAs drop in popularity (I much prefer darker, maltier beers), but I do feel like more recently IPAs have tried to use hops in more interesting ways instead of just going for XIPA/DIPA. I hope if hops stay around this trend continues.

I would have thought the hops shortage of 2008 would have forced breweries to try something else, so by now it's probably demand driven. I hear there's a new hops shortage coming up.
I imagine executives are technically innocent, in that they gave engineers very specific requirements within certain parameters, and asked them to get it done by any means necessary. And then the executives were more than happy to be kept in the dark about how it was done. I can't imagine that the executives would have even been technically competent to understand what had happened. But they also created a dead end set of objectives for the engineers to carry out, and no avenue for realism to work its way back up the channel.
It turns out --- I'm speaking for at least Erin and I, but I suspect to an extent Patrick too --- we don't have the stomach for the contingency recruiting model. Referring someone for an interview and watching them get turned down was, for me at least, about 80% of the psychic cost of applying myself and getting turned down.

Fuck that. It's a job that is possible to do and possible to do well and my life is too short (takes bite of ham sandwich) to spend it getting good at that.

So: I am still in love with the concept and still pursuing it, but I have fallen totally out of love with that particular business model and am happy to blowtorch it out of my life.

More writeup to come! Patrick's at Stripe now; Erin & I have more news coming. Ironically: expect more challenges from us, not less. :P
Note that this is also an American employee, and there is certainly still blame to assign at the head offices in Germany, to both technical employees and upper management.

Figure I might as well ask it here: how does it happen in Germany? If you go on reddit, you get inundated every day with tales of how strong their unions and labor protections are, and how seriously they take professional ethics and accreditation. Why didn't they feel they had the power to object to a plan like this?

Edit: I stand corrected; the DoJ release says he was working in Germany and so should have been covered by those protections:

"According to the plea agreement, from 1983 until May 2008, Liang was an employee of Volkswagen AG (VW), working in its diesel development department in Wolfsburg, Germany."

Maybe they'll learn how to augment their current manufactured products by integrating in high-tech features. Imagine all of the negative reviews of something really basic: CarPlay-type UI between vehicles and smartphones. Most car manufacturers haven't even gotten that right, despite partnering with tech companies. If automakers learn the correct lessons from tech startups, maybe they'll be able to start getting those right.

Depends whether or not you're going for that early harvest taste. If you want your olive oil to taste peppery, almost difficult to eat, then yeah. I find that flavor lasts a month or two in a dark bottle kept out of the sun, though I have no idea how long the bottle has been on my grocery store shelf.

A clean environment is a luxury good most people didn't even know they wanted until economies advanced enough to make them an option. To see a present-day version of this difference, one need only look at China. That's how Americans viewed the environment before WWII.

If you watch the evolution of, say, the Sierra Club, its focus has shifted to reflect the changes in values over time It's very interesting. One of the really fun! things about Micheal Crichton's "State of Fear" is his curmudgeonly way of bringing out the denial of the nearly axiomatic assumption these days of environmental purity being a path to happiness.

Can I suggest British Columbia, Canada? It's an English-speaking country, not in the middle of an existential crisis, and BC has very flexible incorporation requirements (you must have at least one director, who can live anywhere in the world; you may appoint officers but there is no requirement to do so; shares can be with or without par value, and if with par value that value can be specified in any currency; et cetera). Also, Vancouver's a great place to visit, for the occasions when Stripe would need to have someone on the ground here. :-)
15 Essential Packages to Get Started with Electron
The power of machine-generated channels
At least the first two on your list still use Visa or MasterCard under the hood, and still use the same infrastructure as paying with your generic NFC payment card -- and while I'm sure there are other companies providing such services, in practice I don't think I've seen an NFC payment card that wasn't Visa.

The issue here isn't so much getting the kit into the hands of the consumers, as into the hands of the retailers: if they can't use the infrastructure they already have, you'll have real difficulty getting any traction. See Also: Powa, which for all its other failings still had the over-arching failing that they were trying to facilitate two-sided transactions without having anyone on either side.
“Would you like to see an invisible sculpture?”
I am aware of the activities and achievements of the CIA. I think you underestimate slavery's importance to the US becoming a global agricultural and industrial power. That's not really the point I want to make, but rather that I think we could have a popular revolt against the CIA on a moral basis if the populace were better educated and informed. Sure propaganda has been enormously successful thus far but there's nothing preventing that from being overcome eventually.

Maybe not soon,it may take long but still. The horror of slavery in the US persisted for centuries but it still was eventually overcome. Same with women's rights, it took centuries to overcome, eventually making substantial progress by the 60's-70's.
Former Chariot corporate (non-driver) employee here.

This is a rescue acquisition, pure and simple.

I could probably write a book about how not to run a company based on my experience there. Coordination failures at all levels and constant managerial abuse. In the words of an Uber employee familiar with the situation, "That company has employees solely so they can be a clueless, abusive megalomaniac's captive audience". Just read the Glassdoor reviews- the ones that aren't the fake 5 star reviews the CEO paid someone to submit.

Another employee has set up a Former Chariot Employee Alumni support group, FYI. Message https://www.suggestionox.com/r/Q5EWLs with your LinkedIn details if you are one and you need help.

The huge problem with Sony’s PlayStation event (that Microsoft will fix)
Bingo.

It started with my laptop running incredibly slow. A bit of digging showed dropbox saturating an entire cpu core despite no recent changes being made to my dropbox folder. What was happening at the time is a lot of disk activity on a folder that Dropbox should know nothing about. I'm not 100% sure but it also seems to me that Dropbox is monitoring all FSEvents on my machine and doing something with them.

I've been a paying Dropbox user for several years, but this has tipped me over the edge. The only way to regain my trust at this point is providing an official explanation of what's going on, with technical details. I'm paying for a service to keep my files safe and sync them across devices, nothing more, nothing less. Now that I got the impression that Dropbox is doing something outside of that envelope, even if that impression is wrong, my money is going to go elsewhere, probably to a competitor.
Take a look at Drone (http://readme.drone.io, not to be confused with the hosted Drone app). It allows you to execute arbitrary commands after publishing the Docker image. You can tell it to run kubectl to perform a deploy, for example.

Drone can also run CI tests and build stuff in temporary containers, which avoids the need to compilers etc taking up space in the final image, and negates the need for squashing (which busts your cache).

Much faster than Quay. Quay starts a new VM in AWS every time it builds, which is super slow. Drone just starts containers.

(You have to self-host Drone, though. Since it requires running Docker in privileged mode it's not a good fit for running under Kubernetes, unfortunately.)

(Kubernetes on GKE always runs in privileged mode, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea!)
This guy isn't the "fall guy" or just a poor engineer hung out to try instead of an exec, he deserves to go to prison based on the material facts of his plea:

1) He was the central figure in engineering the device.

2) He understood exactly what he was doing and made repeated efforts to perpetuate the lie to the government and EPA.

3) He led efforts to damage control and roll out an update to consumers under the guise of improved performance, but really to cover his own ass when the software got stuck in "testing mode" and deteriorated engine components.

4) He lied to the US government when confronted and led efforts with conspirators to bury.

I am going to guess that his relatively short 5-year plea also comes at the price of turning state's evidence on his often mention "co-conspirators".

I'd say it's probably a little preliminary for us to assume that only a single engineer is going to wind up behind bars for this, just because he's first in doesn't mean he's last out!

Diesel soot doesn't cause climate change, that's CO2 which is not regulated.

"try a little array in the console, if Array.keys() returns the orders keys, I will assume it is"

That may work for some toy script you write for your own use, but must be avoided if you intend to engineer a program.

Certainly, that kind of thinking will lead to very bad results if you ever do low-level multi-threaded programming or try to write portable code.

For multi-threaded programming, "is this call thread-safe?" is not something answered in a test, and certainly not in a quick test.

For portable programming, you simply cannot run the test on all possible systems.

In general, when you program like that, you will not only rely on implementation details that may change (for example, this may change for arrays with lots of entries) but also forget to handle error conditions.
In theory, yes, even non-zero-interest loan can be good. In practice, I'd rather not bother given how easy it is to make a mistake and end up overpaying massively because you failed to read some fine print or account for some obscure rule of how purchases combine and accrue interest. Zero is easy. Non-zero is complex and you are not in the position of advantage there as they know their rules much better than you, so in most cases it's not worth it. You can do it right if you have the knowledge, but then surely advice from some random guy on the internet is not going to change your opinion anyway :)
You're assuming that sea distance is a constant.

For substantial periods of the past 50k years, Australia, Indonesia, and the South Indian subcontinent were joined or nearly so, due to lower sea levels. Much of the area remains quite shallow. At about 15-20kya:

Australasia[edit]
The Australian mainland, New Guinea, Tasmania and many smaller islands comprised a single land mass. This continent is now referred to sometimes as Sahul.
Between Sahul and Sundaland – a peninsula of South East Asia that comprised present-day Malaysia and western and northern Indonesia – there remained an archipelago of islands known as Wallacea. The water gaps between these islands, Sahul and Sundaland were considerably narrower and fewer in number.

Just a tiny correction: git reset <ref> defaults to --mixed, not --soft. The only difference is whether or not files are staged. Since the OP used --soft, I believe the subsequent `git add .` is unnecessary since the files should already be staged when --soft is used.

Regarding the case of an erroneous force push removing code, usually things can be recovered by looking through the reflog and doing some surgery via the lower-level plumbing commands... it's not exactly a fun process though :)
Possible interpretation:

Not enough people are trying risky entrepreneurial things; the market is begging us to quit our jobs and try more startups.

In other words, productivity gains are meaning that the world is saving too much money, and we need fewer workers and more explorers.

Alternate: Wages should be raised across the board.
Looking forward to working with you! I'm joining next week to work on Atlas too.
Open your finder. Every file that you see has just been touched by apples code.

Your OS does have access to all files that you have on your computer. It manages all network connections. It exposes all information that tools such as little snitch display to you. Apple signs and provides all software updates to you. They control SPI and app sandboxing. I'm not saying that Apple does access your files. I do trust them not to since they've shown that they at least attempt to step up and defend themselves and their users. Still, they could if they wanted to.
That is the point on which you and I will have to disagree. Theory is useless if it has no bearing on reality.
