> this has the opposite intent of what you expect and like the Streisand effect

They are promoting it themselves, loudly, and trying to inject their ideas into mainstream political discourse. I see no problem in calling for people to reject it, and helping them identify them. You can look into american history and see that we have been through cycles like this before (example the 'Know Nothings' against the catholics).

I have myself clearly seen more speech in favor of segregation ("we just weren't meant to mix together") on many sites (reddit, facebook comments on congressman pages, etc). I can give you links to explicitly racist sites where they talk about organizing on popular websites to change discourse. You argue I'm giving them the Streisand effect, but we are already too late. They are here, people need to be aware today. These people intentionally prey on those who are susceptible and angry.

I have two (former) friends who have tried talking to me about how "cultural marxism is destroying western values" and that every muslim has evil in their hearts. They weren't always like this.

They don't deserve to be important, instead of ignoring them people need to be willing to say that this is unacceptable and their ideas are not welcome.
Can you offer some examples?
I second that. Also, we don't all have perfect lives. Sometimes an escape (TV, getting high, whatever) is the best use of our time to stay somewhat sane.
Interesting. And I assume that there's a lot of fudge room on the valuation as well with more of it being shifted towards hiring bonuses for those kept on?

I realize first employees will tend to skew young and/or unsuccessful and, as a result of being first employees, these people have FU money, but my point is that their success seems to be kinda random. There's no sense of inevitability about their success like you see with really great founders. And it seems like they never go on to do anything amazing in their post-exit careers.

The US News and World Report article is also a nice primer on this issue.

I have not seen this reported on by any major US news media. (FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS) Other than The Hill, US News, various right-wing sources, and VICE I don't see anyone writing about this. It reminds me of the first hour or two after Hillary's episode at the 9/11 event where the only major news source reporting was Fox News.

Is this something people are interested in? Is there an obligation to report on this nationally?

I think it's a bit rich of the author to advertise a bullshit- or jargon-free explanation of MCMC and then launch into a litany of definitions and theorems about directed graphs.

In fact, when I am looking for "bullshit-free" explanations of statistics concepts, I am emphatically not looking for a resource that reads like lecture notes from a graph theory class.
Technically it is a reference only to Orthodox Jews, who wear their yarmulkes to work.

Secular (non-religious or atheist or whatever) and Reform (not sure about Conservative, but I think they don't wear yarmulkes to work) Jews wouldn't be included.

I know both Jews who would laugh and those who would be offended by it.

If Obama were to pardon Snowden, and the US reinstate his passport, I can't see Putin keeping him in Russia. Why would he do that? As long as Snowden is a thorn in the NSA's side, Putin is clearly glad to have him, but a pardon would neutralize the benefit. It's not even like he could trade Snowden for some Russian spies; what sense would that make? The US intelligence community does not think of Snowden as someone they want back on American soil, except maybe to kill him.

I found an interesting Assange interview on the Morales incident [0]. The whole thing is worth reading, but let me just quote one bit:

Portugal, Spain and France closed their airspace. Some other things happened. Some preemptive extradition requests were sent out, for example, to Iceland, which we got hold of and published. So there was — the U.S. was pressuring countries where flights might go through or land or refuel. And as a result of that operation, then it became clear that in fact it was too dangerous to — at that moment, at least, to take any flight out of Moscow. And this is what then led to his eventual asylum. It wasn’t just the removal of the passport, which removed his ability to use commercial flights. It was that the U.S. was closing airspace and acting in a manner where you would have to assume that they — you know, if a flight went past the United States — not over U.S. territory, but past the United States — there might be some kind of interdiction.

Assange goes on to suggest that Russia had their hands forced by the US Government's willingness to pull strings to catch Snowden, and by the willingness of Western Europe -- France, Portugal, and Spain, at least -- to roll over. This put Putin in the position of either granting Snowden's asylum request or looking like another US patsy. Well, the last thing Putin would ever do is look weak. (I suspect Putin is not really too unhappy to make sure Snowden stays alive.)

Anyway, although Putin's cooperation is clearly necessary, the primary force keeping Snowden in Russia is, and has always been, the US Government.

When I interview for salaried positions one of the questions I always ask is, "do I have to clock in/out?"

If the answer is yes, I politely say "thanks, but no thanks."

Salaried positions are not supposed to be 40 hours minimum. They should be measuring your output, not your hours worked. That's the entire point of not being an hourly worker.

Sure but then you're a bad network citizen... That was the point I was trying to make... In your example you're getting the (high) packet loss and error correcting for those but right at the "fair share" point there is loss.

Yes! A great example of this is Social Security (US national retirement income). SS is not mean-tested, and enjoys the fiction of "you get what you put into it." So there's no stigma attached in receiving it.

I do not support means-testing SS because I believe in the program and want to see it continue. Means-testing will make it indistinguishable from welfare and thus politically vulnerable. UBI is the same.
UBI does not solve the basic problem that a good percentage of one's sense of personal worth is tied up in work. Giving people a check is not the same as giving them something meaningful to do with their life.

Personally I find it hard to support UBI on any large scale without more understanding of the unintended side effects.
>>All I can say is that earning money gives me the most concrete measure of achievement I've found.

You make money when you generate value for someone. It's OK to tie it to a sense of achievement, but at the end of the day you also have to remember to generate value for yourself.

For anyone confused and reading into it too much, it's really just a Chinese word for what is a universal behavior across all human societies.

When Elon buys SolarCity and the CEO is his cousin, that's guanxi.

When your boss gives a promotion to guy who plays golf with him, that's guanxi.

When you give your buddy a referral to a job because he helped you out with yours, that's guanxi.

It's a necessary social lubricant that also spawns nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, corruption, etc and can be found in every business large enough, especially the government.

And unlike what some posters seem to think, it's not a Chinese-only thing. It's a universal thing that has a Chinese word that nicely refers to it, and thus more recognized in Chinese society.
Yeah, they just sent me an email implying my hotel reservation wouldn't be complete if I didn't verify my email, but what they meant was my booking.com account wouldn't be complete until I did that. I've never used it before this but it was definitely unpleasant. Then again, I don't think that business revolves around delightful UX.

Not only feasibility, but having a GC enabled programming language with AOT compilation to native code (until Java 10, you will need to buy such compilers as the FOSS aren't as good).

After all the OP mentioned that only C and C++ were valid alternatives, hence why it is so important to implement such tools in other safer languages.

If people don't do it, as usual there will be a myth that only those languages are able to produce such type of applications.

Similar to the myth that C was the first systems programming language, when many of us were using something else before UNIX got widespread in the industry.

Not necessarily - for stock index futures, the seller of the contract can simultaneously buy the index of stocks. When the future contract reaches maturity the seller has to "deliver" the basket of stocks to the buyer. Banks and market makers make money writing (selling) such index futures by buying a smaller basket of stocks than are strictly in the index to get the same hedge effect (using principle component analysis, yay!), consolidating an entire portfolio of contracts and having a single hedge, and also by having lower transaction costs to buy/sell the underlying stocks than the clients buying/selling the future would, because they already have all the expensive exchange memberships, they also may have inventory, and they have dark pools, in which their own traders get first priority.

The most cynical government haters I know fall into two categories: they either receive handouts from the government, or they receive paychecks via the government. It turns out that in order to benefit from the government, you have to deal with it a lot. We should learn to accept that they can see problems with something that they ultimately benefit from. And such critics might actually offer some very important criticism that tends to go unheard because we're too busy making fun of their "stupidity".
This is wrong and a common fantasy among engineers (that they get hired exclusively to engineer), or at least it should be for healthy orgs. Businesses do not hire to have an employee who codes all day. They hire an employee who is expected to deliver value through a certain set of skills. Business acumen tied to their core competency is far more desirable in every employee than arbitrary skills (you mentioned design above) because knowing how to prioritize and drive value to the business is what counts at the end of the day.

But in order to happen, it requires the cooperation of the state and companies.

In the past, people had work. Each person was inextricably linked to his/her work power. In order for companies to function, they simply had to pay people to work, there was no other way around it. But after automation, most people will have nothing to offer any more. So people lose their self reliance ability and become dependent upon the state, at the mercy of political and economic games.

A horror scenario I imagine is if the state does give UBI, but it is too small. It would feel like communism in the Eastern Europe where everyone had a "job" (mostly posing to work) and everyone got a salary, but it wasn't much. The joke going around was "We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us!" What can people do if the UBI is too small? Start a revolution? I'd bet on self-reliance as a much more stable solution.

Instead of collecting tax in a big pot and then doling UBI to everyone, self reliance splits the single point of failure, and allows more experimentation and ingenuity at grassroot level.
You have kinda placed yourself in that position by trying to draw the line, though. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to do, but you can't both do it, and be ambiguous about where it's at, at the same time.

Also, you know how they say that one should listen to people's experiences, and that tone policing it a way to shut down inconvenient discourse and secure one's stereotypes? That's very much true, but it cuts both ways. If a black guy told you that he's seeing a pattern of dismissive and hostile behavior towards himself from white people, would you consider that a racist observation? I wouldn't, and I'd believe him, too. And that doesn't translate to "white people are bad", either, but there is clearly a cultural aspect in there that cannot be ignored. Such aspects exist in other interactions, though, and the oft-repeated assertion that they are only relevant when the victim belongs to a disadvantaged social group doesn't have any rational basis.

Because all of those things you listed are about passive consumption. Games are active consumption: they have you actively participate in them.

What happens in movies, books, sports games, etc. are determined by others. You simply watch. In games however the outcome is tied (sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly) to your own actions. That's why they can be addicting, especially for people who otherwise feel like they don't have any agency in "real life."
Three possible strategies:

1) Sell immediately and diversify.

2) Sell a smallish portion of holdings at a market price periodically.

3) Never sell anything, borrow against the portfolio to finance personal needs.

Strategy (1) is suitable for heirs and retired executives.

Markets really-really like it when active executives stick to (3), though. Because it's not the most rational financial decision and due to AMT tax bill incurred on new stock grants to such active executive, most people at that level stick to (2), which can be traced via tools such as Yahoo! Finance.

(2) also has a benefit of reasonable diversification and obfuscation in regards to internal signals, i.e. traders reading the insider filings for any signs of unusually high buy or sell orders.

after 6 years writing Android code I still struggle, specially with anything UI related.
I do as well web and Qt which I find vastly superior in terms of user interface creation.
If you stick to "material templates" you are ok, but as soon as you want to do things a bit differently is a pain in the ass... Theming is just horrible, and having xml files and images scattered everywhere using flat herachies is a bit annoying.

And the audio subsystem is still really bad, lots of lag which prevents android having any serious sound / music app... if you dig the forums you will find lots of really upset people complaining and willing to help improve the sound subsystem and the Android team just keep ignoring...
Just to give you an example, my raspberry pi gives me 3ms of sound latency while my current flagship Android phone with Android 6.0 gives me 100ms, totally unaceptable for music related apps :(

In terms of Android Studio I use it, but I find the interface really bloated which interferes with my desktop zen. I tweaked but still dont like it, somehow i miss my tuned Eclipse of some years ago.
Biggest thing since the transition to Android Studio is Gradle which I find it really good.

I just wish Android was a truly open ecosystem where we developers have more voice than asking for help in stackoverflow and using a limited set of tools. Web development might be chaotic, sometimes feeling overcomplicated but Im truly amazed and thankful by the quality, quantity and variety of tools that the comunity produces. It just feel fresh and you can do it the way you want, from a simple html and css in a single file with a notepad to the most advanced framework with linters everywhere.

at the $millions level, although technically you could, you generally don't "send money" like you or i or even a typical rich person would do as individuals paying a regular bill. you talk to a person at the bank who calls up another person at another bank, and they wire the money from bank to bank or some kind of intermediary, like an underwriter or escrow co.

think of it like financing a new car purchase, on a grand scale. how many people were involved in a $30k car transaction? you, your SO, maybe your kids, the sales guy, the sales manager, the finance manager, the underwriter at the bank, the underwriter's manager at the bank, etc. sure you wrote the dealership a check for the down payment, but did you "send" anyone $30k? no, you were the centerpiece in a large, coordinated effort to get $30k sent from a bank to the car dealership, so you could drive off in a new car without much hassle or cash. scale up from there.

so, yes, there are all sorts of checks in place. on a $millions deal, possibly a dozen people or more will be involved either directly or tangentially. bankers, accountants, lawyers, sales people, etc. deals in the $millions range get complicated, and everyone wants extensive, exacting paperwork to ensure both that they get paid and they don't get accused of fraud.

rich people do not buy expensive things in cash. they tend to hold on to as much cash as possible, because cash is the only kind of money with direct control. avoiding 'debt' is a middle class phenomenon, i assure you. the poor and the rich are drawn to it like flies to shit because it helps them achieve their short term goals fabulously effectively, however different they may be, and however expensive (one can afford it, the other can't. guess who.)

yes, some genius solo entrepreneur could just do all of this himself but in reality it rarely happens that way. more money means more people.
And, for the record, I still don't like superfluous statistics jargon :)

Well, how about a citizen's dividend[0]? Instead of making people jump through hoops to prove they're not secretly working (why do we want people to not work?) and that they're not doing drugs or buying nonessential goods (heaven forbid they buy a new phone!), why not give everybody certificates and paperwork explaining to them their rights as citizens of the country to a portion of the wealth produced from the bounty of the land to which they are entitled? Give them detailed information on the economy and the GDP, its growth, and show directly how it affects their bottom line in the form of a dividend paid monthly into their bank account.

It doesn't even have to stop there. The information can also talk about how they as individuals can get involved in having a say in the future direction of the economy, including what to do with future tax, tariff, and bond revenues. If you treat people like the owners of their nation and give them a real piece of the pie and a real say over how it's governed, their learned helplessness [1] is liable to diminish!

Yes the thread says that, but they are wrong. No lawyer in the world thinks that Microsoft Exchange is some sort of legal chain of custody or inviolable vault of perfect information.

The reason Exchange does not have the functionality to redact email address is that people who need to redact information usually prefer to do it by hand, so it would be a waste of Microsoft's time to build a utility to do it.

But to think that an Exchange DB can't be altered... I mean, if you have root on a machine you can do anything you want to the information on it. And yes, the legal world knows that.
