I somewhat agree... There's definitely a different response you get when you say you have two decades of experience... Some strong assumptions come with that. The harder part still is when you don't even get any response at all. You just don't know, and it's hard to tell for certain. Legally age discrimination isn't allowed, but proving it is nearly impossible. Of course given the background of the people behind the suit, it's pretty easy to show given the number of times they reached out and only after face to face interviews declined to offer a position.

As someone who's not getting any younger (42), fat, and doesn't have a formal education, three things that shouldn't be a factor in my job. They really do count against you.
It wasn't my arguement. Care to clarify which argument you're attributing to me?

>The point is that either you need a new argument, or you actually believe all of those things.

No. I can't find one arguement in the thread above that requires 'believing all these things'

-children being able to work in mines(appeal to emotion) is tangentially related we aren't even discussing child labor here.

-fast food workers should absolutely be able to work for minimum wage, I did. Should it be raised? I think so, but again this is a tangentially related appeal to emotion.(seriously what did you mean with this one other than 'feel bad for poor people'? How is minimum wage relevant in this context?)

-Employees should be able to sign off on all employment rights?

Look a relevant point, and generally I agree they shouldn't be able to.

Can you please clarify exactly how this arguement of mine can be used to show the three things you've outlined?

Edit:
The funny thing is I don't even disagree with you or the grandparent on the underlying issue here, I just find this constant strawman bullshit so grating.

I don't know how to defend 4Chan, but not everything is racist or offensive on it. Reddit was like 4Chan for a while until they started to ban users and subreddits, and the users hated it. Free Speech means that even offensive and racist and sexists things can be said, if you censor that stuff then you don't have freedom of speech.

The Feminist, SJW, etc movements want a safe space on the Internet and that includes censoring and banning people. They will get companies not to advertise on a site that they don't like. Reddit had to do that to get more advertisers, 4Chan might have to do that too, but they are losing revenue and haven't done it yet.

Sure I'm against sexist, racist, offensive stuff. I used to be a troll on some sites, and a mock conservative using Poe's Law that people thought I was a real one. In a way I am still a troll on some sites, just not as bad as the ones on 4Chan and others.

I remember Republicanville was founded to compete with the Daily Kos, but a lot of racists got on there and ruined it, and it shut down. It was because The Daily Kos had a censorship and banning policy and Republicanville did not.

Until very recently, installing a solar system came with a great big helping of extra taxes!

Thankfully that was just fixed by a landslide.

But all is still not well. Our state government seems determined to protect us from "big solar". If only that were truly a problem! If you live in Florida, make sure to go vote even if you can't stomach either of our partisan candidates for president, if nothing more than to support solar power in Florida.

Its pretty embarrassing for the "sunshine State" to get its ass kicked in solar power by New Jersey.

CNN is a liberal leaning news media company. 4Chan is a target for them because CNN is allies with SJWs and Femiists who are criticized on 4Chan.

It is sort of like The Amazing Atheist on Youtube, he's negative and attacks Feminsts, so the Feminists attack him back. He's a Liberal, but he finds what Feminists and SJWs are doing is like another religion that makes females superior to males, and he says they should be equal with no one being superior.

I think if they added a provision for a fixed fee that needs state congressional approval to change would at least clear things up. In the end, at least here in AZ, roughly half the electric bill is separated to "delivery" fees, which are supposed to cover infrastructure and maintenance. If those were a fixed fee, then it'd be easier to calculate the advantage or not of solar.

Another risk in Florida, is the solar panels are effectively wind sails in a hurricane, and raise the risk of property damage, which is another thing that may be offsetting costs in terms of raised property insurance.

I'm actually more in favor of wind farming than solar currently. The costs to create the panels have other environmental impact beyond the displacement of other resources for fuel used in electricity creation.

File this under "more evidence that hiring is broken". It's just so silly that companies set up elaborate HR departments and job postings and internal recruiters that collect resumes, and then when you look at how they actually hire it's through popularity/celebrity, friends of friends, and stunts like this.
It makes no sense. FSF treats employees better than most companies and are very open minded as well. It is very progressive and open to GLBT people, etc.

I think it is some sort of politics, like trying to attack Linus because he rejected some SJW's contributions to the Linux Kernel because it caused a Kernel panic and asked if she bothered to test the code before submitting it. Then he is accused of being sexist towards her because he used cuss words.

This is just another way of framing what the article states. Which is that retention will be low in home services because both the homeowner and the contractor prefer direct relationships over using a platform for future work.

Dude, no need for this style of conversation.
When I was looking at other people's github accounts during recruitment, I didn't care what the code is for. People have different interests - games, web frameworks, fun research, anything... As far as I was concerned, all that mattered was: does it look usable, does it follow any conventions/patterns, is it made to be used by others. I didn't care how advanced it is, how many features it has, most likely won't even try to run it - I just care whether the author cares.

For example if someone published a library that they expected to be used, there's a whole spectrum of quality. On one end there's a dump of messy code that's not even indented properly with a single commit "Done". On the other there's a project with a proper license, documentation, version tags, "how to use", potentially some travis-ci integration and other source code scanners.

Examples:

- throwaway project I don't care about: https://bitbucket.org/viraptor/cmv_encoder/src

- (mostly my) proper project I care about a lot: https://github.com/openstack/anchor

So I guess my advice is - just do something you actually care about. If it's only for people in your field - great!

You have to remember it was in the 1970s before free and open source software existed.

Back then if you wanted to use C or UNIX you had to license it from Bell Labs. If you wanted BASIC you had to license it from Dartmouth, if you wanted COBOL you had to license it from The navy and Grace Hopper, etc.

Over times things have changed and free and open source versions of those languages got written. But try to make a free and open source version of the Intel Mac BIOS, try to make a clone of MacOSX, try to make a version of XCode that runs in Linux and submits apps to the Apple App Store, etc. You need an Intel Mac for that and Apple's MacOSX and XCode. So not everything is free and open source or has an alternative to it.

For example Microsoft made Windows that basically stole the Mac GUI IP without permission. Windows sold so well that Apple started to have financial problems. In that case it was taking money away from Apple.

> No, I'm assuming that hillary would be very similar to obama and bush.

It's worse than that. If Hillary was going to be similar to Obama, I'd be ok (not happy, but ok) with electing her.

Based on the available evidence though, Hillary is actually far more hawkish than Obama. She was the one pushing for intervention in Libya, Biden was entirely against it - and IIRC Obama has mentioned that as possibly the biggest mistake of his administration. She's also been repeatedly posturing for more intervention in Syria, as if that place isn't enough of a clusterfuck already.

She appears to lack any kind of introspection whatsoever about use of force (look up her comments on the aftermath of Libya...), and worse, appears to view it as some kind of a dick measuring contest (remember the whole "under sniper fire" thing? She clearly has a need to be seen as appearing tough...).

Frankly, I don't know which of Hillary or Trump is more scary. As flawed as Obama has been, I would vote for him in a heartbeat over either of them. Or Romney, for that matter (and I was a Bernie supporter, so that should tell you something).

I think a fundamental way to think about on demand is that the worker/service provider/driver is the real customer not the end user.

So, if you are uber and the only trust factors are solved by technology (i.e. where the driver is and how soon theyll get to you) it can create a new class of workers.

if you are in skilled home services, trust is built by the provider not the platform, so the only current value is lead generation for the worker...which doesnt require a platform.

The argument of this post is that there is an opportunity in home services for a platform to really cater to the service providers in a way that they always want to transact on the platform and thay they can use to manage and grow their steady customers...with on demand being the leadgen side of the platform.

Friend who is perpetually on her Galaxy S6 was getting very frustrated with battery drain. She found a case with integrated battery that made that go away. Yeah, it's bulkier and heavier, but she doesn't complain. And when she's not on it, and she's not at home, it's in her purse, anyway.

Another friend added such a case to her iPhone. Again, if/when it travels, it's in a bag.

I've looked for a such a case for my Nexus 5x, but it's apparently much too small a market to attract such a third-party product.

Maybe with the enhanced commercialization of the Pixel, it will get such things. But, it's a risk you won't face with a Samsung S series nor an iPhone.

(Plus, the S7 takes a microSD card, once again.

Yeah, the headphone jack. But I think now most people are going to just start making do with Bluetooth. The minority who care for the quality and features Bluetooth lack, are just that, a minority these manufacturers can afford to ignore.)

P.S. The quick charging is nice, though. My 5x can go from 40-ish percent or maybe 50, to over 90 percent charge during a 20-30 minute car ride, using a Pleson brand car charger that supports quick charging.

I used to let my phones drain more thoroughly, or at least drain steadily through a full day, before recharging them. Trying to reduce charging cycle count. Now, I've kind of given up on that and taken to her behavior (somewhat or substantially erstwhile, now that she has the battery case), charging several times a day, when I have the opportunity, and whether or not I have time to let it reach full or near-full charge.

We'll see how long its battery stays in good shape.
Understood. I am leery of the article because they're trying to conflate two studies, and statements like this:

TFA: Things weren't much better for the middle class: Only about 20 percent of people in the middle fifth would rise into the top fifth over the course of their lives.

Isn't that expected? If you were to just randomly toss names into a hat, and pull out people who would be ranked on the order in which they got pulled out of the hat, wouldn't that be what statistics would say would be the case?

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

My start in marketing was as a professional actor - where you spend 98% of your time doing marketing. If you do that well, you get to go to an audition. If you do that well, you get to go do your real job and get paid. (Eventually I moved into the tech world.)

You may be better off with a used Macbook Pro, The prior gen (core 2, and earlier i5/i7) had more key and touchpad travel. I would still be using my c2d based macbook with SSD and memory upgrade if it weren't stolen.

That said, any modern computer with at least 8gb of ram and at least a 256mb ssd should be enough for most front end work. Print and Video is a different story (more ram will help a lot). SSD will make a much bigger difference these days, especially if you're doing web front end work, as modern node/npm based tooling touches a LOT of small files when building, which running without an SSD is painful by comparison on the same system. Going to 16gb of ram will help if you need to run VMs, or will be doing more image manipulation.

Computers have been fast enough for the past 6-8 years now with enough ram and an SSD... Only higher end gaming, video and print editing really push things to need even a higher end machine these days imho.

Valproate is unpleasant, and has a high incidence of side effects - I wouldn't be in a hurry to self-medicate to improve neuroplasticity.

The beneficial effects of Valproate are likely mediated by increases in VEGF, BDNF and GDNF. Cardiovascular exercise has also been shown to increase expression of all these genes. Exercise has also been linked to increased neurogenesis in the hippocampus and neocortex, and that has been backed up with demonstrations of improved memory and learning. It will also help you stay lean, make you feel better and extend your life somewhat.

If you read or watch TV/movies, just start doing it on a treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike at a leisurely pace, instead of sitting around. An hour or two a day of relaxing exercise really does make a world of difference.
