Most likely what will happen, and I believe this is the case already in most businesses, that the cleaning functions will be outsourced to a separate company. Therefore the limit won't be the cleaner earning 10k/y, but some office admin person earning 30k/y (just guessing that one).

Now then a CEO might want to outsource those jobs as well, so the company would officially only employ the highest income people.

Either that or split the company up based on earning bands, and have the CEO be the CEO of each company, so even though they could only get paid 500k for the company with the cleaners, they would also be paid 1m for the company with the office admins, and more for each other company in the bucket.

There are ways to work around whatever limitations will be created.
Indeed. Organic beef has more CO₂, because it is about twice as long on the field (and releases therefor more methane into the air). Things become questionable - chickens are way better on CO2/kg of meat, because they are cramped into small cages. Trade-offs...
Ya!

I only recently noticed this when Google chrome started marking even gmail.com as insecure on my dad's laptop.

Turned out that the Bitdefender license had expired and somehow this made certificate validation to fail?
you aware that your brain needs carbs. even tho fat can be transformed it is also musle that is converted to carbs when you dont eat enough carbs
Do you use Vue.js with Phoenix Channels? I've been very curious how one would integrate a javascript framework on top of Phoenix.
I see this repeated all the time but I consider it to be completely wrong. It is always in my interest to keep $X rather than give it to someone else. Even if they use the $X to buy my product, that's still less favorable for me than to just keep it and not sell the product. And the chance that they would buy my product with that money is almost zero anyway.

Giving people money in hopes that they will buy your product is mathematically a losing strategy, in short or long term.
I'm in the middle of a project that uses.NET Core. It's been great so far but Microsoft is in the middle of changing the tooling for it, which is a major pain point right now. They are essentially changing the project file format that defines dependencies and build options, and SDK tools and IDEs don't all support both formats yet.

.NET Core has almost all of the features of the full .NET framework and C# is a pleasure to work with. My team is very productive and we are able to iterate very quickly. Since it is a compiled language, most errors are caught at build time.

Deploying is another pain point. You have to install the framework on Linux and ship all of your dependencies. They make it easy with the `dotnet publish` command. I'm excited for .NET Native which will package everything into a binary.
And then there's seafood, which can be perfectly sustainable, as long as there's sensible enforced fishing quotas.
Actually: I did not ask for numbers.
Thinking about Thinking about Seymour: Livestream [video]
In Race Against Fake News, Google and Facebook Stroll to the Starting Line
Yeah, I also fell into the "someone who operates like me, but of the opposite sex" trap.

For years I was looking for another engineer (I have a bachelor's in general engineering, masters in SE), or at least someone mathematically/scientifically inclined. Ambitious, constantly working on personal projects, likes to travel, go to conferences, pick up new hobbies, etc.

Now I'm married to a social worker who's had the same job for 12 years, dropped out of music school, didn't have a passport (never even considered getting one), doesn't know math beyond basic algebra, often sleeps until noon, and generally doesn't have any hobbies besides "hanging out with friends."

But you know what? I love my husband, I think we work really well together :) He was really the first guy I ever dated after I decided to get out of my bubble and stop looking for "male versions of me" and I wouldn't change anything for the world!
Agreed. With traditional tools, I do have a netlist and schematic available for every circuit I work on. I've never reached for the netlist when studying or debugging, it doesn't convey enough information. Sure the netlist technically tells you how it is all connected, but a properly done schematic can give you a deeper understanding of the workings of the device much more quickly due to its layout and utilization of common symbols (instead of part numbers, which are often unhelpful).

All that said, I would love to see this kind of thing as a feature built into a schematic editor.

I'd also recommend uBlock Origin or similar. The number of fake download links you see otherwise is scary.
What you refer to aren't conclusions, they are heuristics. An awful lot of processing reduces the value of food, avoiding it in general is an easy heuristic that can help you eat better. Is it the only way? No, of course not - but it's easy.

Here is another one: If you are buying from a supermarket and it was shipped a significant distance, the quality is probably mediocre regardless of organic labeling etc.

This one is hard to do much about for most people. If food is out of season and/or shipped significant distances the quality almost always suffers quite a bit. We have made significant technological and breeding advances on the shelf life, ship-ability, consistency and color of a lot of fresh foods, but most of those advances have had costs as well - typically in flavor and/or nutritional value.

"Organic" labeling isn't very helpful for food quality or taste these days. It can tell you something about pesticides etc. that you might care about (e.g. what might be in the lemon skins you are zesting into your cookies). It's largely a marketing exercise.

Which isn't to say this is right or wrong, exactly, after all people vote with their dollars. However you have to be aware: you can have fresh tomatoes all year long but the reality is that you can probably only have really good tomatoes for a few weeks.

Somewhat depressingly because of wholesale distribution contracts etc., you may not even be able to get those really good tomatoes at your usual store when they are available. Nothing sadder than a bunch of bright red watery tasteless tomatoes being all that is on offer in the middle of your local tomato season.
> dial in a calorie goal that lets you lose weight without feeling like crap, it actually works.

This greatly describes why so many people have a problem with the blanket statement "Eat less calories than you burn and lose weight.", because it implicitly contains the crux of the matter.

There is no such thing as a single, straightforward "calorie goal that lets you lose weight without feeling like crap". It varies wildly depending on the composition of your diet (which is even different from person to person) and accompanying factors like amount of physical excercise, sleep patterns etc.

And those are the deciding factors. The calorie deficit is a prerequisite, but the difficult part is in finding a way to sustain it. (I mean, you go there yourself in the following paragraphs.)

But the statement alone is borderline useless and actually quite condescending to anyone with a modicum of diet expierience.
It's like saying "Answer enough questions correctly and you'll pass the test." Duh, No shit, sherlock.
So? If the 1000 best candidates are Asian then you should admit the 1000 Asians.

I can see giving extra help to historically marginalized races at the expense of whites, but why ding Asians? They weren't responsible for racism in the US. They weren't the ones stealing resources from other people.

Do correct me if I'm wrong but your post seems to amount to "a lot of Asians work hard and are smart, so let's have a quota on Asians because they're hardworking and smart in a way I find boring".

By the way, as a matter of policy, it seems fine to me if people can become doctors who are smart and who only worked hard because they wanted to become doctors. When I go to the doctor I care mainly about whether they know their shit, not whether they were subjectively "well-rounded" at age 18.
You talk about facts like you don't live in a post-positivist world! You have no idea what you are talking about. "Facts" and "truth" are part of philosophy, but bear very little value in the real world. Just get used to it.
No, you've misunderstood the phrasing, it says "which runs on currently shipping iOS devices", in other words, it is compatible with.
People tend to conflate a lot of different things when they say food is "bad for you." Processed food of all varieties is definitely bad for your stomach. It usually has high sugar, high fat, and will generally contribute to heart issues if you aren't exercising enough. (Here there's a question of whether the food is bad for you, or it's not exercising that's bad for you. I'd lean on the latter rather than the former.)

Preservatives, etc. also may be bad for you, depending. But processed foods are just plain bad for your stomach. Your stomach is better off eating things that need some digesting. (Veggies, fruits, etc.)
Alphabet to Sell Terra Bella Satellite Unit to Planet, Talked with Climate Corp
I suspect it may be more on the side of the game code than this since FF runs games that look much more advanced much faster. See their recent WebGL 2 demo.
> Edit: that said, if there are - in fact - simple ways of achieving this goal I'd like to hear so I can share them.

Here are some things which aren't too hard, but which provide a reasonable improvement in security:

1. The easiest thing to do is replace your current SMS application with Signal, and to encourage your less technical friends to do likewise. You can still send regular SMS messages, but if both people have Signal, it will switch to encrypted messages. I've talked a fair number of non-technical, non-paranoid users into doing this and they all seem pretty happy.

2. Tor is surprisingly easy to set up and use these days, it works well, and it uses DuckDuckGo search by default. Again, it won't provide flawless protection against a sufficiently powerful adversary, and it's obvious you're using Tor. But still, launching Tor and using it is pretty easy. And it will definitely keep, for example, web advertising companies or ISPs from building detailed dossiers on your behavior.

Again, if you just want something easy to use and you don't pay attention to the fine print, you're not necessarily going to be well-protected against sophisticated adversaries. But you can improve your security a lot for relatively little effort.
The claims are true as far as I know. The police did get (or try to get) data from TomTom. In addition the tax office got data that was collected to check if people pay for parking.

There are license plate scanners in lots of places. The total number of taps is mostly undisclosed. The police routinely tap conversations between suspects and lawyers. Those are supposed to be deleted but sometimes end up in a file anyhow.

There are limits on what the police can do, but by and large there are only very vague limits on what intelligence agencies can collect.

So it is safest to assume that all information that is collected in digital form is available to the government in one way or another and only occasionally are there enough protests that some data is not used anymore (such the tax office using information related to parking)

Note, the government has no problem restricting what companies can do with data as long as gets what it needs.
Of course, many small - and still influential - unions are actively made up of their members. For instance, teachers unions (outside of large metropolitan areas) commonly vote their presidents and other officials directly from the teaching ranks. These leaders often receive little/no compensation for their additional duties.
No, that won't lead to inflation. Quite opposite, it would lead to deflation, since you have same material value, represented by a lower number of bonds/money.

The value of money, each month would go up, and printing money could be use to counter act the deflation, creating a stable currency.

Keep in mind that if you use your money before it expires each month, you get more value than if you just sit on it.

Nice! Some feedback from a Three.JS contributor:

- I notice you are using Collada 3D model files inside of a zip file: https://play.freeciv.org/3d-models/models.zip It may be better to store the models in glTF format. It would be smaller and faster loading. Although to be honest, the last time I checked converting to glTF with high fidelity was very difficult to do.

- You should probably have cache forever on your game assets (3d models, textures, etc.) but have version numbers or hashes (my preference) associated with them -- it will load faster.

- Even if you do not switch to glTF, it might be better to have each Collada 3D model as a separate resource, so that as you change things it doesn't have to redownload the whole zip file.

- It is weird that you have *.zip file. You can likely just serve the collada assets using the built-in HTTP gzip encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression Thus it will be handled by a faster path in the browser than using a JS unzipper.

- You may want a proxy scene of boxes to raycast against. Hit testing my simple scene takes 5ms and I have a top end computer. Ray casting against THREE.BufferGeometry in Three.JS is just unreasonably slow. And THREE.Geometry is just slow all around, even though raycasting is a bit faster than with THREE.BufferGeometry. Another approach is to render the scene a second time to the offscreen with unique colors per object. Then hit testing is just figuring out which color was at the pixel under the cursor. This is highly scalable and is a very commonly used technique in games.
Exactly. The thing that everyone is shitting their pants over is a nothingburger. NOAA once had a verifiable mission. The problem with government agencies is mission creep--they all got on the "climate change" bandwagon because that's where the bucks were. That is now over.

The people with black money will never again use the rupee as a storage medium. They will convert it into gold or US dollars or euros or <insert fungible thing>. It might lead to a "dollarization" of the black economy. It seems to me, in my opinion, that all this is Modi and the BJP posturing before their base. They are "doing something".
Some people over analyze whey they don't have a girlfriend, or find love.

1. Forget about love. If you ever find it; consider yourself lucky.

2. Forget about beauty. If you get the chance to sleep with a person your culture considers beautiful; those of you that succeeded will, most likely, walk away with mixed feelings. Concentrate on "chemistry". Average, and below average people all have different "chemistry". You will never know unless you sleep with them.

3. Forget about perceived intelligence. Does anyone really want to be with anyone who had the ego to take the Menza exam? Not me! I've met two guys who claimed to ve Menza members, and I was happiest when they were far away. Find someone who gets you. And believe me, they will change. Don't expect them to always "get" you.

4. I feel in love one summer in a national park. She was the perfect ninties girl. Cool chick! Smoked, and partied! We had the same inner values. She was the one. I made the huge mistake of being too nice, and telling her how special I thought she was. Even though she was stunning; I was not that attracted to her. I don't know why. I will never know if we had "chemistry" because she never let me in, so to say.

I ran into her 17 years later. She called out my name. I walked up to a woman I didn't know. She kept on repeating her name, but I couldn't place her. Then it finally hit. I hugged her, and said she looked great. We made small talk. I left because I had to go. We did the, "I'll Friend you on FB." I knew I was using a pseudonym.

I've thought about that encounter for a few years now. Why wasen't I still crazy about her? Was it because she rebuffed me, or gave me mixed signals that summer?

I honestly don't know, but just figure I'm not the deep, sensitive person I thought I was.

I do know this, if I ever find anyone who accepts my horrid ass; I will cherish the ground they walk on. Would I marry if given the opportunity--hell no. I think that's my generation though? My parents just fought and fought. The idea of marriage has always looked just aweful. I don't think being monogamous has much to do with marriage?.

In all honestly, I once found love at first sight. She was sitting on a bench in San Rafael. She literally had hands that looked like they had Henna Tatoos on them, but it was just dirt, and grime. She was obviously homeless. She had some sort of mental condition, but seemed to really care about the wrongs of society. I can honestly say I have never felt so close to someone in less than 15 minutes. She asked to stay with me, but I chickened out. I found her a women's shelter that night. To this day, I can't get her out of my head. She is the only person I fell in love with at first site. Maybe not? Why didn't I bring her home? To this day I think it was my biggest mistake. I did hear she moved back to her parents home, and is doing much better. I was so glad she was doing better. I truly wanted more for her than myself. According to Eric Fromm that was love. I guess I have loved once? Besides family of course, and the occasional friend.
Felony Charges for Journalists Arrested at Inauguration Protests

That said, America's place in the Democracy Index been downgraded based solely on some people(?) losing trust in the government rather than actual hard data. Personally I think this is no more authoritative than a Facebook survey.

Their method deserves investigating though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#Method

Example questions:

* "Whether national elections are free and fair";

* "The security of voters";

* "The influence of foreign powers on government";

* "The capability of the civil servants to implement policies".

This poll reeks of the same polls claiming 98% chance of Clinton winning the Presidential election, namely fudging it by sampling only folks with a certain political leaning.

Measuring the impact of code reviews on developer productivity and code quality
Steam has an API for that. The game needs to expose the in-game actions directly. Then, when showing a button reminder, they can query Steam for which buttons are actually bound to that action. I'm aware of Portal 2 using that API, but not who else supports it.
I always think its super funny when a fucking ad pops up on someone desktop. Usually done by anti virus tools. And how casually people click it away is just amazing.
I've run many other Electron apps - they all suffer from the same problems. Ugly non-native UI, DPI scaling that doesn't quite work right, poor platform integration and massive binaries.

Additionally, with something like this, I'd imagine it would be quite possible to port to a simple Node based system with OpenGL support without the need to embed a browser. Would probably improve performance too due to removed sandboxing.

Part deux: What Asian students go through once they get their degrees from American Universities.

They go down the rabbit hole of America's broken immigration system, starting with OPT visa, then H1B (read lottery luck, not based on skills) & then the country based quota for green card currently 7 to 9 years for EB2 categories for India & China. Did I forgot to mention the exorbitant out of state tuition fees and the loans they took for it in their home country ?
Tangential Asian-National Students in US University Anecdote Time:

I attended a rather prestigious Graduate School program in the Liberal Arts at a state school. Education specifically. Campus population in the tens of thousands.

In some classes, I actually felt like part of a minority. There were consistently large populations Asian nationals in the field. Many nationalities, mind you, such as South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and maybe one or two others. Teachers in their home country, they were attending to get the US Masters/PhD with every intention of returning home and getting a raise.

Yes, they did participate well in the learning environment, language issues aside, but more than one got homesick and would quit the program due to culture shock of living in the US for 2+ years. I can sympathize.

My takeaway was that the University was very happy to take the (presumably) higher tuition from foreign students primarily interested in the Degree for status advancement than turn them away. It could help keep a department going in a way, and, in turn, the University didn't worry that these graduates were going to stick around and try to get US jobs on those degrees. It kind of wasn't the bargain.

It is worth noting, I think, that most of the Asian national students in my program or field were in their 30s or 40s. They had life experience, families, professional careers...I guess the point of the reflection is the University got a good revenue stream and the Graduates got their Degree for status back home. Win-win? Ehhhh...

How Mail.Ru Reduced Email Storage from 50 to 32 PB
With cloud reputation service all AV user base (provided sufficiently large) turn into global sensor network, along with honeypots vendors maintain separately. This allows (at the cost of users' privacy) to detect new emerging threats within hours, then acquire samples, analyze them and deploy new signatures within days.

Google can of course react equally fast. But "signal delay" may be much higher, as users report only URLs they can immediately link to their troubles, e.g. malware that crash browser.

And second, what Google can do now is to block only one attack vector, namely web page.

Thinking rationally, chances are high that Google is seriously considering to enter the AV business. They are in highly advantageous position to do it successfully, with their user base, resources and AI tech.
