The biggest is that asking a company to provide parental leave means asking a company to pay somebody that they hired to do a job to not be there.

That means either, your value is low enough that you can be gone for that long without your company missing you OR that they have to pay somebody else to fill in for you with the knowledge that they'll be let go once you get back. Depending on what kind of work you do, this is no small task.

The types of companies who can afford to do this type of thing essentially boil down to subscription style, giant companies where the absence of any employee won't really effect anything from a business or customer standpoint...who also happen to be rolling in money.

If they're willing and able to provide that benefit...GREAT!

But different businesses provide significantly different cash flow models. Different businesses can't have their valuable employees AWOL for 52 weeks while paying them and somebody else to fill in for them at a higher rate.

You have to be in a money printing market position to even think about something like that.

Why not both? “Normal” criticism is boring and gets ignored; you have to add sarcasm to increase the likelihood of a response.
It's simple, you put it on your web page with some puffed-up credentials and then have a friend link to it. This works better for things that aren't commonly challenged as it often doesn't stand up to more than casual scrutiny as you do have to pass yourself off as somehow 'reliable'.
I don't think the fact that they're on Reddit is particularly interesting. Consider that we did, already, have a big moral panic over Satanic ritual abuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse

We already know that humans are susceptible to believing that people at the highest levels of power are participating in Satanic rituals and child abuse, despite a lack of sensible evidence. Funny that that's exactly what was insinuated about the Democrats.

We, as humanity, have got to get better at handling the cognitive biases of ourselves at scale.
The catch, which AMD are quick to gloss over, is that Caffes performance on Nvidia hardware largely comes from its use of Nvidia's proprietary cuDNN kernels.

AMDs HIP port is using the "fallback" open-source CUDA kernels, which are nowhere near as fast as the hand-optimized cuDNN code.

I'm skeptical of the value of electron-ified applications when fully native alternatives suffice. However, ignoring that, there are a few (pretty severe) problems with this release:

* The .deb package seems to install everything in /opt. This seems to be pretty common practice for electron apps and isn't a huge deal, except for the fact that a wrapper executable/link isn't installed anywhere else on the system. As a result, I had to go looking for the install directory and invoke hyper as a fully-qualified path (i.e., /opt/Hyper/hyper).

* Hyper tries to run `npm prune && npm install --production` on every startup, which (naturally) fails when the user doesn't have node (much less npm) installed globally.

* Most control modifiers don't work on Linux at all, making it impossible to work inside of programs like nano, alpine, etc.

* Throughput seems to be an issue. Running `cat /dev/zero` locked the entire application up.

These problems are understandable considering the (often unappreciated) complexity of terminals, but they're also surprising in a 1.0.0 release.

He couldn't do it today because there is a Wikipedia article already for pretty much every conceivable pastry, from Stroopwafels to Cronuts to Fudgie the Whale.

To me, this strongly suggests that if you just today realized that Wikipedia was lacking an article for, let's say, Red Velvet Cake, you would have very little trouble creating that article.

I’ve been using Hyper on and off for a while now. I recently returned to zsh in iTerm2 for the same reasons many others mentioned here. It _works_.

I still do toy with Hyper from time to time. A feature I do like is the hotkey-enabled pane-splitting. CMD+D to open a vertical pane. CMD+SHIFT+D to open a horizontal pane. CMD+W closes them — though I wish this option would prompt as I’ve accidentally closed panes a number of times by a poorly-timed keystroke. For somebody who doesn’t use swap files with VIM, this can be a killer.

I am very much looking forward to installing this on my Windows machine tonight, however. ConEmu is a beast, but sometimes I just want quick, simple access to a text editor or a few commands in a familiar environment.

Some days jumping into ConEmu feels like an alien world (especially when it comes to setup/options), and Powershell just so different from what I work in most of the time.

The bit of crossover, even if there are a few sacrifices, is appreciated as an option here.

I would think that having a resistance an antibiotic meant that a bacteria was losing out on a different advantage. This is why resistant bacteria only exist in places where having the resistance, hospitals etc., is more beneficial than what it lost to get the resistance.

For example if a cheetah developed a larger body at the cost of speed. It wouldn't survive as well unless there was a benefit to being larger but slower.
Well, you'd be wrong. A business has earned revenues that its owners can spend or use for benefits however they please. A business can't force people to pay for their services. A government can.
I think you meant to say that you switched to Angular 2 with Angular Material 2 which still considers itself in alpha status which I would not currently use in production.

I agree that the documentation can be improved in that respect, however once you have learned the convention it applies for all components. In angular 1 documentation you had the same issues of `ngRepeat` and similar directives being expressed as `ng-repeat` in the HTML attributes. The only explanation is in the directive documentation [0] which can be pretty exhausting to take in.

That's exactly the problem I think. If you're driven enough to get rich you're too driven to stop. If you'd be happy stopping, you're not driven enough to get rich.

I think you nailed it about his drive for successful serial entrepreneurship. Slide was sold for an ok price but was shut off. I don't know how Levchin fared at Google but I assume he probably didn't like working for someone else. I think he chose an area where it was almost guaranteed they would make a lot of money / perceived success. Affirm is definitely that, they will make a lot of money, but it is not far off from payday loans and rent-to-own furniture, no matter how good the PR is.

Sometimes I wonder if the solution to this isn't just to add a second tier of pages to Wikipedia, alpha (canonical) and beta (non-canonical): with pages starting in the alpha Wikipedia, then being moved to the beta Wikipedia if they're not considered sufficiently notable, where they can be worked on and eventually promoted back to the alpha Wikipedia once they've reached a certain level and combination of quality and notability. Deletions could happen for straight-up junk pages, but at least 'notability' would be removed as a qualification for inclusion.

If your organisation can't identify who is making a difference and do what it takes to keep them, then they're not going to win. That being said, most people asking for a 100% aren't being realistic.

Parents subsidize the people who don't have kids. You think investors would be willing to pour billions into companies like Facebook if they knew there wouldn't be a new crop of 18-25 year olds every year? In a developed country, each person contributes a lot more to the economy over their lifetime than the cost of raising them.

(And immigration doesn't really change the result. Then you're just externalizing the cost of raising kids to another country; you're not getting rid of it, and you're still benefiting from that investment.)

I hope this fixes some problems I'm having with CentOS 7 as a desktop. At home, it's fine, but at work, where I'm joined to an Active Directory server for authentication, it doesn't work so well. Winbindd will slow to a crawl with 100% CPU utilization. Various suggested fixes I found on support sites don't help. I tried sssd, but had other problems and I don't like the clumsy override mechanism I have to use in sssd to set the GCOS field to something sane instead of the mess that the AD server hands back (and which I don't control). If this release isn't a significant improvement, I may have to go back to 6.8 for my desktop, which would be sad. (I am limited by policy with regard to which flavors of Linux I can run, so switching to Ubuntu, or Mint, etc., is, sadly, not an option.)

Addressed the locking below. I'm sympathetic to rsync.net, and maybe I spent too long in the Wikipedia bubble, but what exactly is the argument for it having a Wikipedia article?

>rsync.net has been mentioned in the press widely over the course of over 10 years - everything from articles about our warrant canary to articles about our ZFS support. In fact, other wikipedia pages mention and discuss rsync.net.

So it's had some coverage related to first commercial use of a warrant canary and is discussed in that context. It commercially implemented a feature of rsync (the application) that should be talked about on the page about rsync the application. But what can be said about rsync.net? Maybe someone read about their warrant canary and wants to know more about this company...but no independent source has written about who they are and what makes them so savvy with opsec and rsync. Anything outside those narrow topics is original research or primary sources. I think things are working as intended.
I wonder if businesses and their management in Scandinavian countries, for example, feel they're getting the short end of the stick. I'm sure there's a diversity of opinion but they might very well look at the chaos of the United States and say "well, at least we don't have to deal with that shit."
Used to do the same for customer deliveries. At the beginning, it was embarrassing to even have issues come up at all. But then we realized that there was no way we were ever going to completely duplicate their environment, and something would always come up. We'd have to resolved by the next day, if not the same day. That's when you learn that customers don't care that there are problems; they care that there are solutions and that you are there to provide them.

Why would you assume that? In Canada and most of Europe the same system pays for both these types of care. Neither have any real negative affects on companies because:

Fruit tends to be healthy because the sugar (fructose) is wrapped in protein and fiber. In other words, it's very very distilled. That's the reason why eating an orange is a lot healthier than drinking orange juice. But we do know that fructose is VERY bad for you (high fructose corn syrup is much worse than sucrose alone).

Well of course it is illegal, you just don't want to get caught, and this allows you to have plausible deniability.
It's better to have it the other way around. Attempt to boot off the network and fall back to local drive. That will allow you to reimage a node without having to fiddle with the BIOS. For regular boot there should be no image configured. Network boot will fail and the node will boot off disk. However if an install image is configured for that node, you can reimage it at will. The install image should reset to having no image for that node, once it's done.

You'll need to maintain an association between - dns, ip, mac address, ssh keys etc.

>Because if something has even the hint of socialism, the discussion is considered over. It's why the U. S. doesn't have universal health care.

It is a complex issue and the socialism-word boogeyman isn't all there is to it--there is more than just the vocab.

From my anecdotal experience, I can say it isn't so much the socialism that tends to bother people, but the part where socialism is given to what are considered undeserving people. Those people might be immigrants that are perceived (incorrectly or correctly) of getting an unfair share of schooling and medical services. Those people might play off the older concept of the Welfare Queen. It varies from person to person that I speak to, but very few (zero?) people have told me they're against things like health care for all without also bringing up those parts as a con to why it either can't work, or shouldn't be implemented.

(then after all that, you still have regular politics to hurdle)
The pinnacle of human invention will be that which our (automated, intelligent) children invent. We will be indirectly responsible, but we won't be able to compete. We can already this happening eg in healthcare technology, or with AlphaGo. It's not hard to imagine many of the greatest discoveries will be via abstractions we can't even grok, and will need to be "translated" for us to even begin to understand, much like with the cutting edge of mathematics and physics.

For the vast majority of humans, what they can reasonably accomplish in their lifetimes is surpassed by automated systems today, at least that which pertains to the things that in the past were requisite for everything to function (farming, transportation, common services like cooking, cleaning, etc).

It's not hard to imagine the need for paying jobs will drop to zero as everything humans normally need is captured by monopolistic automated systems. From whence comes the need to take care of our own? What's to stop most humans from becoming like the horse, that which no longer has capitalistic meaning? Our overwhelming love for each other (/sarcasm)?

Sure we have, and they have nothing to do with the static site generator. You're talking about compromising the web server in general. Totally unrelated.

And you don't even need a web server with an SSG. I use a one locally and upload to S3. Maybe I "just don't know the weird ways things can be exploited", but I simply can't think of any conceivable angles on that.

Well. 100% is a tad high. I find 50% to be incredibly common.

It's not enough to identify the "talent". You have to identify it AND admit that you failed at identifying him earlier AND admit that other companies will poach him if you don't try anything AND you gotta know market-rate right (it can be really hard to find out, even for recruiters in your companies) AND you need to actually pay market rate (most companies don't) :D

By the way, if you get 2 bonus and 2 raises, if likely means that you were incredibly underpaid and it's possible that you still are.
