capitalism trades work for capital in an infinite loop, as long as it is free to bargain as little work for as much capital it is exploitative. The only non exploitative capitalism is a non-liberal capitalism which limits the bargaining, but since greed and corruption go in tandem, whatever tries to govern capitalism, eventually becomes just another bargaining iteration for capitalism itself. therefore the only implementation of non exploitative capitalism is capitalism ruled by an incorruptible system, which is utopia, or maybe AI overlords.

It doesn't and that's true, however, no business should have to constantly fear their own employees gutting their business from the inside either - and it appears that the above mentioned non-solicitation agreements cover that as entirely reasonable.
"Silent compensation" is no compensation at all.

An ordinary person would rightly believe that 100% of their job compensation is in exchange for doing their job, and that any additional bonus compensation for doing something else must be explicitly laid out in a separate contract.

In order for what you say to be true, jobs with non-compete agreements should in aggregate pay more than jobs without them. I do not have that data, but I believe that they actually pay less, due to the tautological competition-suppressing effect of non-competes.
That's a point in favor of banning it, because we have minimum wage laws and piling on disadvantages would allow employers to effectively get below the minimum wage.

In practice that probably isn't necessary because the employer doesn't see much benefit from having a non-compete. Workers are no more qualified to work for their competitors after having worked for subway for a year than they were when they were first hired.
It seems detrimental to the cause to simply say "You are wrong, your evidence is wrong, and I'm not going to tell you why.", let alone the unnecessary insults.

Complaining that there are no nice keyboards when you're determined to buy an Apple laptop is like complaining that there aren't any clothes you like after you've decided to only shop at GAP. You can either shop elsewhere or put up with the limited offering.

Or use an external keyboard (for your laptop, not your clothes).
If you're going to accuse others of politically motivated interpretation of data, the least you could do is abstain from the same activity.

http://mashable.com/2015/11/03/nasa-antarctica-mass-gain/#bN...

TL;DR:

1. This is one measurement among many. The honest scientist considers the whole of the data, rather than cherry picking the 1 among N measurements that support his hypothesis.

2. Existence of conflicting evidence is a good reason for more, not less, research.

3. There's nothing to suggest that one set of measurements reflects a trend. The global system is complex, and the existence of surprising phenomena should be a reason to try to understand better, not an excuse to bury our heads.

4. The relationship between stability and total mass is probably not strictly positive and is certainly not linear. So even in the best case scenario, the risk of destabilization should still be studies.

This is why big countries suck. They are slow to change and a wrong move is horribly damaging. Look at the US or China, no matter how I or all my countrymen live in Sweden it won't really matter if climate change deniers get in charge in the US for example.

I just think it's so sad to see everything go to shit due to some greedy assholes that won't invest in solutions that are effective AND sustainable.

I plan to become a climate change prepper in the future because shit will hit the fan sooner or later.

That's what's meant by "breaking the Web": releasing a browser that, from a user's perspective, just doesn't work in some fundamental way.

In addition to the inconvenience to site owners and users, it would also lead people to blame the browser if the sites still work in other browsers, which would make it hard for any one browser to unilaterally distrust a CA.
Unfortunately, yes. As long as your employment agreement is legal.

"That means coastal cities will face more severe storms, not ending up submerged. [2]"

How does that work? Coastal cities will have more than half a meter more water to deal with and additionally have to face larger more powerful storm surges on top of those 50cm. Don't forget at certain times of the year we see stronger tides.

I also wonder if in 2007, the IPCC were more optimistic about our ability to curb emissions and took into account some of the feedback looks which are kicking in?

The title and abstract of the paper makes it seem like their approach can assure some form of absolute privacy. However, when you get down into the weeds of the article they really only have probabilistic guarantees. This seems like a problem because (1) most people will incorrectly assume the stronger form of privacy and (2) there is no objective way to determine the threshold required to be considered "private enough" for a given application. This is exactly the same as the issues I have with differential privacy.

In the end, I could see this being useful for protecting private corporate data where the concern is that the company does not want to lose the perceived value of their datasets just because they have released an external model using internal data. Theoretical guarantees that most data will be private should be good enough for this case. On the other hand, I would worry about using it on truly sensitive data (such as medical records) where even one compromised datum is of high concern.

"Once again they paid for a finite duration of your time and labor not the contents of your brain."

+ Absolutely false. Whenever you work for a company, you will gain knowledge that is their property - almost always. It doesn't matter who/what/when/how you work for - that knowledge is theirs. Even McDonald's workers are subject to private info such as operating details.

+ "For you to somehow by dint of experience BECOME employer property in whole or in total is a truly bizarre perspective."

Nobody is anybodies property. If nearly everything you know about a subject is a trade secret, then you obviously cannot use that elsewhere.

+ "If you can't own them forever as slaves then preventing them from freely applying their learned skills for a period of time isn't coherent and logical."

Would you children stop talking about slavery?

If your skills and experience are tantamount to trade secrets than you cannot use them elsewhere.

The idea that some company is going to let you in on their $1 Billion dollars and research, so you can walk across the street and hand it over to another company 'because you think it's your right' - is not coherent or logical. Put yourself in the perspective of the manager of that IP.

I've taken to using bookmarks as an 'aging' chamber. I used to plan on "going through" my bookmarks, which was an imposition. A this point, I bookmark interesting-looking things I don't want to read presently.

If they're still interesting later, they get read. If not - and this is maybe 80% - they get deleted. Storage is easy, so it's pretty satisfying to keep things and just not worry about deleting them later instead of organizing.
I've given up on task-specific tools -- because of both lack of structural flexibility and lack of data portability (several computers at home and work, mobile devices, family members you need to share a list with). Now it's all just text files in dropbox, with the occasional Excel spreadsheet for budget/money stuff.

Over time I've figured out a good organizational system (folder hierarchy) that makes sense to me so I know where to find things when I need them.

The "safety" of plain text files feels good to me for such personal / important data (after years of trying different apps/services, only to have them go out of business or cease development or not work on a different platform or have sketchy privacy policies).

Changing gears to Production Readiness
I work at an organization with about 75 employees, and I'm the only person who can program. Half the time I go out for drinks with coworkers, someone corners me and wants to tell me about this awesome idea they have. Unfortunately, they can't tell me anything because I haven't signed an NDA yet. So they spend a few hours being coy, and I spend a few hours trying to politely decline. It's always an iPhone app too. I've never worked on mobile development or Apple products before. This does not discourage them in the least.

Half the reason I want increased computer science education is because I'd like this madness distributed across more people.
Dude, you don't even read your own sources.

"It's also fascinating you criticize their whole product line for not having all the features. Yes, the mini is "mini". It does not have optical, but happily they build a different computer that does!"

The interesting use-case for a mac mini is as an HTPC. It's the best HTPC that has ever been made and the models with an optical drive allowed you to cover every use-case including edge cases with one nicely designed box ... no cable or peripherals.

An all-in-one mac isn't a candidate for an HTPC.

"If you don't like it, there is an extremely simple solution for you. Don't buy their stuff."

Agreed. I bought the very fastest, maxed out mac mini that still had the optical drive and have not purchased anything since (after having refreshed my HTPC mini every two years prior).

I still run my 2009 mac pro and would love to throw money at apple to make a new, refreshed tower for power users ... but alas.

And now I will buy a maxed out 11" macbook air (which is what I am typing on right now) as a spare laptop so I can continue with the form factor I prefer, even if this one dies.
> 1) deontological: freedom to contract is always a good thing.

A good thing for whom? It is good for lawyers and others who benefit from writing contracts.

Imagine for a moment a world in which you sign a non-compete before ordering a burger. It sounds silly, but sillier clauses are signed in order to purchase far cheaper consumer goods every day.

Is the world really a better place because two parties are hypothetically able to achieve their longtime dream of finally combining a legal instrument and a sandwich? Are you excited that you "have local knowledge" and are ready to exploit this knowledge to review legal terms with counsel before ordering your burger OR is this hypothetical benefit dwarfed by a very real huge volume of people who aren't going to hire a lawyer to negotiate a contract of adhesion for a $10 purchase when under social pressure while they're dining with someone else?

Freedom to contract is not always a social good. It introduces complexity, and complexity creates friction which prevents people from participating optimally in a market and prevents the market from clearing. Contract innovation is not optimal for the burger market.

What is optimal is common law, which is mostly the same everywhere so that an entire society understands how it works. It's how the police know what to do when facing a diner who didn't pay their bill, it's how you know what to do when the order is wrong, it's how a business can hire employees who know all this stuff without training them on custom procedure. Standardization is optimal for the vast, vast majority of transactions, so that people can get on with whatever they do when they're not negotiating legal instruments. The benefit of designing something bespoke for some marginal case is dwarfed by the cost of increased complexity of the transaction and the deviation from the established standard.

If you believe that job contracts are so positive and innovative, insist on reviewing one as a condition of doing an interview. If it is really about local knowledge, surely it will be positive for all involved to develop that knowledge early and comparison shop. In reality people will look at you funny and probably decline, because the real function of that contract is to appear after you've decided to take the job and exploit social pressure in order to get a stronger deal for the company.
"That isn't trade secrets, it's experience"

No.

100% false.

If that information is key to the nature and success of a product, then it's called 'know how' and it's both legally and rationally protectable.

You people need to grow up and grasp that fact that once you go to a company and they teach you what they have spent $100 Million dollars on developing, that you cannot walk across the street and spill the beans on 80% of the materiality of that R&D which happens to be such details.
That's funny how that works in Norway. In Switzerland, if you ignore all the letters of conscription you get fines and after some years, you will be visited by two very kind policemen who put you in prison.

Hmm, that is interesting. What is the benefit of such a social year, as opposed to having the youngsters start either an apprenticeship, where they can learn a trade, or continue and finish their education, and then get into the workforce? If such social labour has to be done, it should be paid accordingly and people should not be forced to do it in my eyes.
If you're to take the article at face value, I find the following interesting.

>"You have to let them save face," he told the group. "escalation will not end well."

Why is it these so called Russian friends always encourage everyone to do nothing, it's always something like "best not to do anything and just let it go".

Seems like that would just encourage more of the same.

Now who knows what was really said and this is just an article that isn't any official report. Its not like the Administration is going to tell Esquire their plans. Never the less if that is what he said I would be hesitant to trust such a person.
The caller still holds a pointer to the element and can free it. I would argue that delegating the responsibility of freeing the element to the caller is more performant, since that allows the code to reuse that list element and insert it into a different (compatible) list.

That's the kind of performance/ease-of-use trade-off that sounds reasonable in an open source project with strict code reviews (but in very few other places)

They have a pretty strong incentive to not backdate certs after all the attention this has gotten.

Distrusting future certs punishes the company, distrusting all of them punishes all past customers and their users, and encourages people to just switch browsers.
I mentioned the above comment because spending on ads (which have links to the direct product on product hunt) would not do too much good (PH algorithm seems to take vote count, vote origin, time of vote and time density of votes into accounts).

That said, one of the startups I interned at, had a massive internal doc (and tools) on how exactly to game product hunt (which I believe was extremely effective) - The startup ran out of business and is no longer around, which is why I was trying to recreate that document + tool.
Oh, sure, they're out there. I work in SD, so we do have access to talent (though we also struggle competing against SF.) My problem has been finding someone who is a software engineer first, e.g., not solely an academic type. We need them too as they're the people with depth in the computer vision arena, but I'm looking for someone who understands digital microscopy, image processing and analysis, but who will also write robust, production level software.

It's a bit of a niche and I was fortunate enough to be exposed to it early in my career.

"Unless you have a noncompete clause. That's exactly why they're a problem. You can't develop your professional skills. When you leave, you have to start from scratch in a different industry."

Buddy - I'm saying there should be no 'non compete' clause in that situation. Obviously - there's no basis for it because there is no IP involved. Which is a case of over-aggressive application of these protocols.
1: We have very limited ability to change educational outcomes in this country and the differences between schools have little to do with external inputs (systematic differences in per pupil funding, teacher quality, etc). https://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2016/05/09/my-r...

2: Years of schools have essentially no explanatory power at an international level (even in lesser developed countries that should have much more "low hanging fruit") Other research shows that without improving test scores, which are strongly influenced by genetics, education is basically worthless for economic development.

3: Poor people in the US, especially net of taxes and transfers, are quite wealthy by broader international standards. US poor vs Somalia? LOL that's not even a question. The poor in some of the more economically successful nordic/northern european countries might have somewhat higher material living conditions, but the differences are much more modest than you might expect and as compared to what you find in other developed countries (especially larger, less homogeneous, less cherry -picked countries), say, France, Italy, Spain, etc it's far from clear cut. The US also has significantly more diversity in multiple dimensions, especially as compared to an extremely (traditionally) homogeneous country like Denmark.
