Look at the Old Testament for descriptions of too many genocides.

If graded on a curve, the 20th century comes out as a pretty nonviolent genocide-free century.
Let me offer an opposing point of view.

In all the people I ever hired and worked with over the years (data entry, devs, bizdev, sales or otherwise), attention to detail was the single most predictive trait for good performance. "Conscientious" is a better word perhaps. People who can't be bothered to understand how things work rarely produce amazing "high level" work either. It's a fallacy to assume you can "skip the details" IMO.

It's like inspecting a house: if you see shoddy plumbing and the walls are crooked and all the details are off, it is still possible the construction is amazing in all the attributes you CAN'T inspect so easily. But it's also quite likely the construction company didn't give a shit and were cutting costs left and right, and buying this house would be a safety hazard.

Also, you can pay attention to detail in strategic jobs as well. "Attention to detail" and "complex spaces" are not mutually exclusive.

What happened was HCL and Cognizant were going to provide IT consultant work for Disney, but the consultants were based somewhere else other than Disney that had a lower prevailing wage.

Sponsoring employers are supposed to report the working areas on the LCA applications, and the USCIS is cracking down hard on the tech consultant firms trying to exploit that loophole this year.

This implementation is an optimization of leader-based protocols like Raft. It removes the leader from the critical path using SDN.
And be incompatible with the universe of Lua programs.

The problem was that Lua reified 1-indexing into the language when they optimized to make arrays faster and then created length operators. At that point, 1-indexing got baked into the language.

It's for their job title; Disney is happy to pay 150% of an Associate Junior Technician's $30k average salary compared to 100% of a Senior Systems Administrator's $150k.

Exactly, it depends a lot on the kind of person you are. I know my daughter is not a perfectionist. If I offered to reward her if she did badly at school, I'm pretty sure I'd be buying her gifts every week.

She does well in school by the way - because we constantly nudge her to. We don't put pressure on her for perfection though, just for decent results.
>yet you're likely a member of the race and demographic who hasn't had negative experiences because of their race/demographic.

If we're going to look at historical figures through modern lenses and discredit their works if we find they don't measure up to our modern morality, we're not going to have much left. It's more than likely that Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle engaged in sexual acts with young boys, for instance - in our world, these philosophers would be on a list and couldn't live within 500 yards of a school, let alone found one, but in theirs, pederasty was common, accepted, and even lauded.
Interesting. I work in education in the UK and the way we assess pupils is a relatively complex calculation based on a number of factors.

So schools, teachers, pupils and parents are all aware that attainment is a complex beast and requires an open, yet complex calculation.

Which leads me onto STV and other ways of counting votes, none of these are as simple as first past the post, but these are all far simpler than what we do in our schooling calculation. So I think people are ready to make voting a little more complex and a lot fairer. If we educate them and give them a chance.

Considering ongoing expenses are hardware replacements and colocation costs, profit margins are very high.

The trick is the H1Bs are not displacing American workers at the company they work at (the outsourcing company), the company is just expanding. Nor is Disney replacing it's workers with H1Bs, they're just outsourcing to another company.

And apparently, this loophole works, because a judge just dismissed the case.

"The outsourcing companies successfully argued that the law did not apply to them because the plaintiffs who were displaced were not originally their employees."

In Japan perfectionism is not encouraged. The rough translation kanpeki shugi (完璧主義) will bring up more ways to fix it than become it on the first page of google.

What the Japanese culture and other Asian cultures similarly encourage however is discipline (majime, まじめ), and the proper way (matomo, まとも）. This means parents instill time management (basically they force kids to take the time to study) and procedure (study environment, tools, focus, resources). This is the true cultural advantage.

With regards to suicide, this too can be correlated to culture with statistics, but it has nothing to do with perfectionism. I would attribute it more to their naivety when it comes to mental well being, and to self sacrifice. In other words, they think it's okay to suffer and sacrifice their mental health far past the safe line, and fare more than most would permit in the west. In Japan, your "self" takes a back seat to the onus of being the majime and matomo Japanese citizen.

The answer is to learn time management, discipline, and procedure, but while staying healthy, both physically and mentally. That's what OP's father did. He made sure his daughter's mental health was okay. That's what parents ought to do, and he deserves all the credit in the world.
The correct way to handle this in Scala is to wrap the possibly-null reference (which I assume you're getting as a return value from some Java library) in Option(), not manually checking for null.
Trump specifically attributed it to Curie's "Mexican heritage" when he made the comment. The organizational link is an after-the-fact rationalization. (And, also, mostly false; that is, he's a member of a lawyers group with "La Raza" in the name, but that group isn't connected at all with the advocacy group -- the National Council of La Raza -- that right-wingers who don't recognize that "La Raza" as a name element is about as distinctive and unique as "People's" think of us the organization called "La Raza".)
out of interest - as hjkl are one offset from the default jkl; home row position, do you opt to use the index for both h and j or shift your hand one key over to the left?

I notice from observing other people type that there is an aversion to moving hand position, whereas the idea of moving hand position is not unfathomable to me, perhaps as I have played piano and violin. For example, I generally use middle finger to hit esc to exit escape mode. This may seem counter-intuitive and could well be thanks to the dimensions of my hand, but I am able to reach esc with middle finger without moving the wrist. That means I can hit esc and find the home row while still touch typing. Similarly, displacing my entire hand for hjkl isn't that uncomfortable and is certainly more comfortable than trying to use both h and j for h and j.
Yup. Significant signals amongst the noise. Lots of references to primary sources.
You're right, I don't and didn't mean to overstep.
> It seems like a system built to produce accountants and actuaries more than a new generation of entrepreneurs.

Perhaps that's because (a) nobody knows how to educate people to become entrepreneurs, and (b) the kind of people who will make good entrepreneurs are the kind of people who won't be very happy in a one-size-fits-all education system like the one we have.
A warm, diverse, welcoming, and accepting technical conference that contains no interesting technical content is less a technical conference and more a purely social gathering. There's really nothing wrong with that, but at that point it's no longer meaningfully a technical conference.

Perhaps there's a desirable balance to be struck here.
The simplest explanation is that the Democrats were only briefly in power in Congress and going after the Bush administration didn't make political sense — Obama rather famously called to move forward rather than fight over the past.

In contrast, a wide range of right-wing people have spent three decades and many millions of dollars going after both Clintons, with considerable personal demonization over that time. When Obama was elected, the GOP's goal was to limit him to one term. That means a bunch of people had angles to exploit anything remotely plausible: it kept the base riled up and voting accordingly, it helped attack the sitting president by association, and maybe damage his most likely successor. The entire email story was only discovered as part of the endless attempts to trump up a scandal from the Benghazi attack, by which time the pattern of relentlessly litigating everything was just the assumed default.

There just isn't an equivalent on the Democratic side. Yes, there are people who don't like Bush (or now Trump) but there aren't rich people pushing to scrutinize his private life and the members of Congress don't seem to think that's a good use of their time.
The First Step
Loving yourself is an act of giving and receiving, giving yourself patience and forgiveness, while receiving the utmost respect for yourself. Using daily affirmations, for example "I am strong," "I am safe," I know my truth," "I can handle all situations," "I am smart." After saying these or others every morning, for about a week, you will notice how much better and stronger you will feel. Staying true to yourself, you will see miraculous changes in you.
There has been a new leak daily for the last 10 days and signs seem to indicate that is not stopping. They even released today despite all this drama.

They release daily to participate in the 24h news cycle.
> the world only needs so many entrepreneurs.

This might be true in principle, but in practice I would say our current world suffers from a huge undersupply of entrepreneurs, not an oversupply. Far too few people see the purpose of their jobs as creating wealth.
One interesting means of doing this is grammar induction[0]. NMS's appears to have a defined pattern for say a spacecraft IE wings go here, cockpit goes here, engine goes here and then choosing a block for each of them. With grammar induction one can learn more interesting designs by learning the relationship between parts. IE cockpit A tends to connect to hull C, wings N tend to connect to hull C. This lets us make spacecraft that have different topologies that still follow the same sort of style defined by some exemplars.

Crowdstrike et al are more likely to support Clinton. They benefit from having neoconservatives (who unanimously oppose Trump) in charge at State/DoD, because their business depends directly on tense relations with Russia and China. They're just another part of the MIC at this point.

Those are not 'stories' so we believe that medium would not be appropriate. Or is it?

Personally, I don't understand the brouhaha about all the Trump tapes. If you had even a remote inkling of fact about the man NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE.

While I'm definitely in the opposing camp, I have zero respect for those who are now abandoning Trump. You stuck with him on superficial grounds and now you are leaving on superficial grounds. Nothing about the man has changed.
Why would Assange, a confirmed Anarchist, support conservative, capitalist Republicans? That doesn't make any sense.

If anything, Assange would want the third party libertarian to win since he is the only guy advocating to stop the wars and reduce American involvement overseas, which is what Assange wants. He sees America as a menace and wants to stop the brutality of American "peace" in countries they have no business being in.
Lots of holidays though, and no overtime.
That was the point I attempted to convey with my last paragraph:

this isn't an argument for accepting any old talk so long as it fills some demographic quota. It would be a strange conference that replaced quality of ideas with demographic diversity in their talk selection criteria. Rather, it just means conferences have more than one criterion to optimise for. Multi-objective optimisation is complicated and involves tradeoffs, but "all or nothing" is unlikely to be optimal.

Hopefully we can agree that a conference which had interesting technical content and was welcoming to a broad range of people would be better than a conference that had only one or the other.

How much do you think parents should be involved with kids' homework?

My wife and I got tired of the daily battles with our 3rd grader over homework. Until a few days ago one of us would review it at home and point out any mistakes. The response to any mistake was a fit of rage. Our daughter gets extremely frustrated whenever we point out she did something wrong.

So we decided to try a different approach. We told her we won't review her homework anymore, unless she explicitly asks us to. Her end of the deal is that at the end of the week she has to read her teacher's feedback and take note of what she got wrong, and figure out how she could have gotten it right.

Do you think it might be a good strategy?
I didnt think about that. Good point. Counter would be BSA. They tip employees to reveal stuff like that. They could visit each Global 2000 to pay employees for info on what software was used and how often. Plus network fingerprinting. Just collecting first years fees as payment would cover cost of BSA and payouts.
