>It's not like you can walk up, knock the door in with a battering ram, and then have access to everything inside.

Well, I mean, yes you can. The actual doors/gates used aren't 'milspec' intrusion rated. They're `better-than-home-depot` doors (all steel, steel door frames, reinforced). Cage door are often hilarious flimsy (thing metal sheet/bars).

Certainly breachable by even modestly equipped attackers.

The reason you pick real DCs and not the basement of your fortified house is because there's human security in addition to the physical security measures. Which means, some one will notice if you try to bust down the door
Can I setup MS Teams without IT Admin?
> I see ton's of people in daily life who have cultivated modesty (eg: politicians, ceo's ect) . It is so obvious that its fake,

No. You have seen tons of people who have cultivated modesty-signalling. Signalling is cheap, but it stops passing for the real thing when overused. That's where the fakeness feeling comes from.

The more advanced manipulators are already practicing anti-modesty-signalling: Open disregard for courtneousness, plus some other subtler signalling that people subconsciously correlate with real modesty. Onces these tactics get widespread, they will feel fake too.

But all this does not mean you cannot practice the actual thing. Being mindful, thankful, etc does require practice... and it is harder than just signalling for it. It does not come naturally to human beings, at least not in our culture, but it does not make it worthless.
Ah yes, forget the Microsoft of 4 months ago. The Microsoft of today would never do that!

Ideally, yes, and while in my small city of Dayton, Ohio I have limited options for produce close to home my local meat producers aren't at all close to me. It's certainly not a stop on my way home. They're setup more for people with chest freezers buying half a cow at a discount to have meat for months at a time.

We're just not the agrarian society that would be conducive to providing "hyperlocal produce / butchers".
Dell XPS 13 has a special "developer" edition, which comes with Ubuntu 14.04 pretested and preinstalled.
This is Signal jumping the shark. Why is searching gifs their responsibility? Non-essential features should be skipped there is a single shred of security concern, which we can see there is.
Our hiring process at Argo
Message from Slack to Microsoft
Well I think we can agree to disagree on regulation as the method of fixing the issue. Of course we should do something. I'll admit I'm not sure what though and have no better proposal. I just believe regulation is too blunt an instrument.

While I have not, I have had three experiences recently that I would like to relay for whatever it is worth. In the past years that I have responded to these monthly posts, three of them have progressed into multiple phone/Skype interviews and two of those multiple phone /Skype interviews have progressed to on site interviews one in San Francisco and one in Berlin.

The one that consisted solely of multiple rounds of phone/Skype interviews went on over the course of a few months and had positive feedback each time. Very recently one of the cofounders emailed me and said they have decided that they aren't going to hire for this role at all. So it was interesting to see this company advertising the same position yesterday. The cofounder emailed me a week ago.

The two interviews I had that progressed from multiple phone/Skype interviews to actual on site interviews were very similar. I felt that the onsite went very well and the feedback that I got from the recruiters was that "everyone really liked me" and "thought it was a good fit" and "how did I feel about it. In each of those I had mutual positive feedback and said I was interested in moving forward.

What followed in both of these was unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Recruiters responded with "Great, you will hear back from me by the end of the day" and we talked salary and relocation issues. And then days and weeks would go by with radio silence. Needless to say this puts the candidate in a really awkward position. Feeling that enough time had significantly passed I reached out to the recruiters and new assurances would come about they are waiting on something and they would be getting back in touch asap, by the end of the day or latest tomorrow etc. Then the dithering and silence would be being anew.

All three of these companies had postings yesterday for the exact same positions. In fact all three perennially post these same positions on the "Who's Hiring" threads.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share.
Would like to point out, unless you are running on non-x86 hardware or a tablet, the term pc still applies to linux based hardware.
> The only reason not to implement the Wealthfront Equity Plan is greed, and greed seldom leads to a good outcome.

Is there a more diplomatic way of saying that? Employees aren't in a position to question the "generous privileges" or "large equity stake" they are being offered.
Could you post your blog article? I've though a similar thing for years and have never been able to communicate it.

Perused that link a bit. Cool job on the guys writing all that up for others to read.

Personally, I found GitLab's approach (also documented over at their site) more pertinent to my situation—starting with the fact that apart from remote, GitLab are also multicultural, which adds a whole other dimension.

One remark: Zapier mention they use a website called HelloSign for electronic signatures. I have checked them out, and that's a total no-go. Although they claim to comply with EU law on electronic signatures, they most definitely do not: what they offer is a “paste a PNG of your handwritten scrawl on this box” kind of service, which not only does not come within a mile of being an advanced electronic signature, as per Regulation (EU) 910/2014, but also follows the inanely dangerous precedent set by, I think, Adobe, of affixing an image in the likeness of a hand-written signature or seal to a document. This causes people to just assume that if one such image is present, the document is valid, without actually checking the signature. So, although something like that HelloSign website might be fine for private contracts, at least in the EU those “signatures” have no public effect. Just thought I should mention.

> there's issues which need to be solved

Yes, and some people think that pro-employee laws make these issues worse.

Again, you don't need to agree with them, but you don't get to dismiss them as simply not caring.
In my opinion yes. In fact I would tell you to wait because prices may become even lower.
The horses had no skills that were useful in the post-automobile world - at least, no skills that justified the expense of paying^Wfeeding them.

The market for oil was competitive. You should read the book Titan by Ron Chernow.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUDGHG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...

At no point was Standard Oil the only purveyor of oil products in the world. They enjoyed a dominant position akin to Microsoft's, but were unable to hold onto it forever.

What Rockefeller eliminated was the refining industry. And he did so starting out as one of those refiners. Just as Amazon was at one point just another online retailer, Rockefeller was once just one of the many many refiners dotting the Cleveland countryside. He did it through his pure, amazing business acumen. He made better products than his rivals, and managed his money better. He built such good relations with the banks that they would pull up to him as he was walking down the street and offer him loan terms.

Industries go through periods of consolidation and breakup all the time. It's just a necessary part of the evolution of the economy and society.

The microwave oven was actually invented by a guy who walked in front of a powerful radar with a candy bar in his pocket, and had a eureka moment when it melted.

It seems that they figured out modern microwave cookery very quickly. The first thing they cooked on purpose was popcorn, and the second was an egg, which exploded.
No. Wikileaks isn't interested in revealing your emails. They go after people in positions of power who have demonstrated the willingness to abuse that power.
Similarly, if they don't want me viewing their content without paying, they can setup a pay wall.

I built a few small adult sites early in my career when I was more a designer than a backend / ops guy.

When asked by a recruiter for more portfolio I said "Well, there are more, but they're adult". Her response was "Wow, I've always wondered about who does those and how that all works!"

and:

"That must be great, you'd have all the passwords!"

Mind you, this is in the more liberal Australia.
Like the others here, I'm not sure. My guess would be something to do with the archival requirements for museums.

I’m looking to replace one of my VPS at digitalocean because of stability issues (need to reboot the VM every couple of months, it just entirely drops off the network apparently).

Linode seems like a good alternative. My criteria for this application are ≥ 1G of RAM, SSD storage, fast RTT to my other VPS, native IPv6 support.
So as long as you either see the ads, or are inconvenienced by them, it's OK?

How about if my friend hits the mute button for me?

no this wasnt a election debate, thats why i failed to see why brought Trump into the conversation. the Hatred between Christian and Muslims can go back all the way to Crusaders. Regardless of how much Anti-Muslims comment Trump made, Radicals wont hate him more. The more neutral and logical comment Obama made, wont make Radicals like him better.

911 happened during Bush administration, but i m sure Bin Laden spent years during Clinton administration to plan. Point here being, who leads the supposed free world doesnt matter, Radicals will hate you. Its in their blood, flow though their veins though generations of unfair treatments from western world.

Look back how western world treated them, ever wonder why there are so many countries in mid east, and wonder why there are so many conflicts happens there every year?

I guess my points are that at this point, your simple existence is enough to provoke the radicals, regardless who is head of govt. Bangazhi didnt happen cause whole world like Obama better and Bush less. Hands of Jesus Christ are just as bloody, he sent just as much people to meet their maker.

The Dairy Industry Lost $420M from a Flaw in a Single Bull
And this is the problem. There is zero thought being given to different usage scenarios, and when it is, it's a chaotic solution that works some of the time. How do you middle-click-paste if you are on a trackpad with only two buttons, for example?

I'm only picking on this to illustrate the point: things are hacked together at almost every level for a workstation. This is why "The Year of the Linux Desktop" never happened.

In stark contrast, I am much, much happier with Linux as a server machine than as a workstation, and prefer it to any others.
Agreed, and not making me create a new account every time I join a new team. Now I have to remember which account I used for which team. It's silly.
It's the hardware that is making people look at jumping (back) to Linux.
There is a tremendous amount of development in the healthcare industry right now. 2015 Edition does not specifically name FHIR but is does hint that it may be named in the next iteration. FHIR does seem to have the promise of unification and interoperability.
Do most companies when contacted by future prospective employers disclose which of these 4 was the reason for termination?
Wow, those are rather interesting "concepts". It's surprising most of the top results are all totally subjective (and yes highly opinionated): 'unrepentant liar', 'gas bag', 'ruthless and totally corrupt politician'...

Clearly those associated concepts didn't come from the nytimes or wikipedia, so how can they ensure accuracy when scraping these unauthoritative sources?
As a job-hunter, I always write a well-researched cover letter, and I don't care if some employers ignore them.

As a hiring manager, I love a good cover letter.

So no, I don't see it the way you describe.
~$100k is not unheard of
Doubtful.

I like text interfaces as much as the next nerd, but most people want to interact with a computer intuitively: see a thing and interact with that thing.

In other words, "point and click". (Or just "point" if it's a touchscreen.)

My 2 year old doesn't know the first thing about computers, but he'll jab his finger at the screen when he sees something he likes.
Agreed. I've seen Senior be anywhere from Level 2 to Level 5 Software Engineer, depending on how the company assigns the wording.
I'm one of the authors on this paper, and was so happy to hear this thread was going! I've heard about HN from my hacker friends, and it's hilarious and flattering to be here!!

Seems like you've been having a great discussion. Thank y'all and stay curious! I'll go through the comments and respond where I can.

[Edit: thanks to @upen for posting this!!]
Not, In fact I'm trying to start some critic discussion.

If somebody claims that a vegan diet is healthier and better, I would expect some facts that support that claim at least. Do you know somebody that became centenary following a strict vegan diet? I think that we can discard directly all historical data of "vegan" people living before 1945 or so, because some vitamins weren't still industrially synthesized. This people either faked their veganism or were really very ill. History after 1945 is relatively well documented; thus should be possible to find inspiring stories about actual vegan people living until 100 Yo.

On the other hand, reaching 100 years with a mediterranean diet or a Japanese diet based in marine food has been proved as uncommon, but perfectly possible, with dozens of cases reported at least.
Eye lenses and testicals are the the things that are effected most quickly if I remember correctly.
Ah, interesting. I always just took it for granted that the old Office codebases were huge beasts, but maybe not. Thanks for the info!

Still, no matter how nice that codebase is, I assume they can't beat Electron for ease of X-platform compatibility.
In case anyone else, like me, assumed this was comedy, there's no Politifact on it, but Bloomberg claims it's true:
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-06-20/trump-... (last paragraph)
"It is very common to send out 20 resume's and maybe get a single response or two. It is very time consuming to write a custom multi-paragraph cover letter with every application."

If you're a programmer and you're approaching problems this way, I most likely don't want to hire you. Strike a balance between automation and giving a personal touch where it's necessary.
How can I enable flash in electron to make it work?
From this comment, I can get a sense of why you were fired.

"The reason I emailed was because we were just in a scrum meeting where management was asking us for feedback on how the sprint went."

They wanted feedback on a sprint and you complained about overtime? Pretty easy to see why you got the axe.
I just returned here from that thread. Fascinating and time consuming. Well worth reading.
I don't know about you guys, but it still doesn't explain what a block chain is, it just seems to describe it

Email: cyorir@gmail.com

====================

I am currently looking for my first full-time job. I have been programming for 8 years now; that includes 4 years in high school, 3 years in college, and 1 year out of college. You can see a demonstration of some of my skills on my hackerrank profile at:

https://www.hackerrank.com/cyorir

My preferred language right now is Perl, but I have experience with a lot of other languages from VHDL and Z80 assembly to Ada. If you need me to code in a language not listed in my "technologies" section, then chances are that I can pick it up quickly.
Maybe they're just OK with being "closed, conspiratorial and inefficient." It's not hypocrisy unless they insist on choosing something they're denying others, and they aren't necessarily.
Intresting, Im suprised this hasnt gotten any coverage or attention really. This is the first time Ive heard of it, but it correlates with a recent change in attitute with some of my contacts there. Some outright dont respond to messages, others reply with "Things are fine" etc...

Do you anticipate this getting more coverage in the comming days/weeks? When was the last missed paycheck if I may ask?

Thanks again. Your doing good work informing people.
How well does that work? I love the hardware, but I'd love to run ubuntu on my MBP even more.
it opens them up for lawsuit because they could have slandered you resulting in you losing a job opportunity. It does not mean the former employee will win but if you did say something that is grounds for the lawsuit which you will have to defend and prove what you said was all factually correct. It is cheaper to just settle with the former employee rather than pay lawyers to defend the suit even if you have 100% chance of winning. This is why no company will say anything other than yes that person worked here from x date to y date and maybe a handful of other benign facts about your employment such as your title
Epiphany uses Webkit, and Gnome and Elementary are clearly emulating OSX. Also, unlike Chrome, Epiphany is well integrated with GTK3 apps - for example you can drag/drop text from Epiphany to Nautilus. And Firejail+Epiphany should be similar in terms of security.

Of course, Chrome is still better feature wise, however, Elementary or any other distribution would need Google's permission to distribute Chrome.
Whether I have to do porting work in practice (which I do, a lot) matters a lot more than what a consortium from 1996 says.

The fact is, Darwin gives me trouble a lot more than Linux does when using POSIX APIs. If there were a comprehensive, up to date POSIX test suite, Darwin would fail it.
Color phtography was hardly easily available from the early 1900s. It would be theoretically possible for them to have shot in color, but it would have been expensive, inconvenient, and much harder to reproduce; most images were shot in black and white well through the 60s, and people were used to the format. It's like asking why they didn't preserve all their galleries in 3D VR starting from the 2000s; it would have been possible, but not worth it.
What about video editing? I mean, I can live with Audacity for my basic needs, but I can't find anything simple as iMovie. Or should I just bite the bullet and learn Blender? Does it have preset screen transitions and stuff like that?
Public and other regulated companies are subject to minimums on the retention policy. They do have to keep them just because they were created.

The standard enforcement protocol is to block all non-company webmail (and other messaging systems) and SMTP so everything runs through corporate Exchange or IM configured with the appropriate retention policy.

I expect that as creating and dealing with wiretap recordings gets easier, we'll see email retention policies extended to voice communications. Currently that only exists for certain highly sensitive positions that interact with the public, AFAIK.
I don't know, language seems fairly intuitive but it's not in style. The only people who really struggle with it are illiterate. (ex: very young children) In those situations you really do need a special UI that will be frustrating for normal people.
I wish social media sites had Gmail's anti-drunk posting safeguard. :)
Karaoke is not nearly as prevalent in, for example, America as it is in Japan. Maybe Korea or the Philippines can come close.

Insightful conclusion:

"If [Apple’s] future is going to be characterized by such hostile decisions as the removal of the headphone jack from the iPhone or the scything off of the beloved MagSafe and SD card slot from laptops, maybe Apple isn’t your best friend anymore. Can this company continue to claim it’s looking out for its users’ best interests while discarding some of their most necessary tools?"
