And I find all non-serif fonts harder to read. Serif fonts are harder to read on the low-resolution devices, but easier on paper and high-def devices, that's why I always searched for other kind of displays, and considered the Apple's introduction of "retina" screens as the biggest event in years in computing, as everybody had to start "me too."

100% the same and I agree. getting fired and being worried that my next decision will get me fired has caused me all kinds of anxiety issues.

I recently decided that given my personality I'm not well suited to working as an employee for an employer and have gone solo. I don't want to feel like a victim to bad management or that my future and personal worth are tied to a single company as good/bad as they may be. I want my efforts properly remunerated, I want my reputation to speak for itself.

So while these traits may make you less hirable as an office worker, they may make you more hirable as an expensive contractor.

Chiefly that owners have the cattle's best interests in mind and will tell them the truth.

> The HR rep began the meeting by asking me if I had noticed that I was the common theme in all of the reports I had been making

That's such a meaningless thing for an HR person to ask someone, that it clearly only serves to be patronising and hopefully stop them bringing problems up. I mean, how could you as an HR staffer possibly justify your inaction with an argument like that?

"We didn't act on any of their complaints, as we noticed that in all the cases of harassment that they reported, they were the victim in all of them!"

I believe your points were already well addressed, but lets take another stab at this.

A number of studies have indicated that media displayed substantial bias during the primaries. That bias was directly in line with Clinton's campaign strategy, as stated in another child to the parent comment.

https://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-presidentia...

I'm not sure what else you're looking for. More on the causation front? Studies on the effects of media coverage on candidates in political races have thoroughly discussed here and elsewhere since the election.

More on the media bias side? I'm sure you can review the DNC leak as well as other post-election frequency reviews.

There's a reason why people were outraged at the media post-election and subsequently why the 'fake news' scapegoat was trotted out as a narrative to salvage the worth of mainstream media's reputation.
The Great Moon Hoax
In case anyone isn't sure why the original interaction is harassment: relationships within a reporting chain are generally prohibited, for both legal, ethical, and practical reasons. Sex becoming part of the effective job description crosses both legal and ethical lines, and team effectiveness is hindered when people wonder whether someone is getting special treatment because they're sleeping with the boss.

A manager propositioned a new employee on her first day on his team -- asking not just for a date but for sex. That's way over the line.

Also, this isn't just a gendered thing -- Google the story of Keith Rabois resigning as COO of Square.
so says you!
I think you're railing too much on the "obvious victor" point, which the OP didn't even say. In fact, given your statement "Longtime establishment Democrat operatives acting on behalf of a longtime establishment Democrat against a non-Democrat", you've established the collusion yourself. The press part is their long-standing and equally unsavory relationship with the [DR]NCs to begin with.

Indeed, the burden is on you to show how they ever lifted the tiniest finger to NOT do what we all knew they were up to from the start: coronate Clinton as heir apparent.
Advocating violence and denying a historic fact are two completly different things. You're not allowed to threaten someone with murder either, but that's not a restriction of freedom of speech. Threats of violence are neither ideas nor opinions.

However denying the Holocaust is very much an opinion and freedom of speech would mean that I could freely state this opinion and have it judged on the free marketplace of ideas.

In my job I sometimes conduct software usability research. One of the first things you notice when you do this is that without connection to demography, and almost without exception, men will blame the system under test when they can't use it, while women will blame themselves.

Can you clarify/defend this? I realize the USPS is not a government agency in the usual sense (it's an "independent agency of the United States government"), but I don't think it's accurate to say that it's not a government agency.

But I do wonder what the bloody hell is going on in Vanuatu! Maybe Polynesian populations have metabolic adaptations that don't work with high-sugar diets? It does seem so:[0]

> Pacific people (especially Micronesian and Polynesian) have some of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes in the world that largely developed since the introduction of western culture and diet. Recent studies suggest that much of the risk relates to the excessive intake of sugar (sucrose) and carbohydrates, leading to a type of fat storage syndrome (metabolic syndrome). Here we discuss some of the environmental, genetic and epigenetic reasons why this group might be especially prone to developing obesity and diabetes compared to other ethnic groups. Indirect evidence suggests that the higher endogenous uric acid levels in the Polynesian-Micronesian population may represent a predisposing factor for the development of obesity and diabetes in the context of Western diets and lifestyles. Pacific people may be an ideal group to study the role of “thrifty genes” in the pathogenesis of the current obesity epidemic.

That's arguably a good enough reason to ban junk food imports.

What I don't get about the positive feedback loop argument is that it seems completely at odds with what the IPCC is saying, namely limiting emissions in order to stabilize global warming at 2 degrees.

If we were in a positive feedback loop, then global warming will just continue to accelerate no matter how small our emissions are. In fact, we'd be equally screwed if we magically stopped emitting CO2 in 1950, it would just take a little bit longer before we're screwed.

Can anyone explain how to reconcile these arguments?
You warn me not to claim that taxes are theft by using examples of failed socialist utopias. My argument was that once people have paid their taxes, they deserve something in return, like the ability to take advantage of the infrastructure that they paid to build. If you simply take peoples money, and use it to subsidize the rich, then that is theft. This is a very different argument than that of Proudhon, who says that "property is theft", or of Thomas Paine who claims that:

>Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated lands, owes to the community ground-rent (for I know of no better term to express the idea) for the land which he holds; and it is from this ground-rent that the fund prod in this plan is to issue.

http://rationalrevolution0.tripod.com/articles/capital_distr...

Though I agree with both authors in general, my claim of theft was not the same as theirs at all.

> The main purpose of public transport is to enable those living in the outskirts to get to the center in the morning, and go back in the evening. The drive to separate out work from living quarters goes back to the industrial revolution when work suddenly became noisy, dangerous and polluting, so the old model (working and living in the same place) had to go. This required mass transport, be it cars or public transport Anyway, there is nothing wrong with living in the outskirts. Many prefer it, especially those with children.

In Prague, most people don't work in the center, so the commuting to the center argument is a mute point. The center is literally only for tourists.

> Yes, and why is this interesting? The minimum wage in Malawi is ... what $1 per year? The cost of accomodation always correlates strongly with the average income

The reason why it is interesting, is that a €50 flight to Brussels, and a €8O AirBnB stay for two nights, would be a third of a months salary at Czech minimum wage. So it is totally unrealistic for people on the east who make that kind of money to travel west. However, westerners have no trouble traveling east. (Some eastern students are able to travel west, but they are among the wealthy).

> economies of scale

Economies of scale do not exist in the urban housing market, because supply is pretty much fixed. The more demand, the higher the price.

I'm not %100 against AirBnB. But I feel that the use of AirBnB to rent out whole apartments is unfair in cities where taxpayers heavily subsidize infrastructure and common spaces. Especially when the investor is a foreign one. Then the money from the west flows east and then flows right back out again.
How much bandwidth do you provide? What is the transfer limit?

Your server comes with between 200Mbit/s and 800Mbit/s
of internet bandwidth depending of your server. Checkout
the pricing page to find the exact value. The internal
bandwidth is only limited by the speed of your network card.

There is no transfer limit, transfer is unlimited.

That's the bandwidth policy. I've never had them crack down on me using the bandwidth I'm paying for, never heard anyone else say they've had a problem either

No, they're not inherently repeated blocks of code. You can repeat bits of code if you like, but for many common cases you have options.

1. both cases have identical code: just fall through from one to the next

case A:
case B:
// code for A and B
break;

2. one case's code is a prefix of the other: have the first case first, let it do its thing, then fall through to the second case

case A:
// code for A only
case B:
// code for A and B
break;

3. both cases have a shared suffix; have them separate, then use a goto to get to the suffix part.

case A:
// code for A only
goto AB;
case B:
// code for B only
AB:
// code for A and B
break;

4. code is somehow parameterized by the switched expression - just reuse it in the code however you need to. This is the most flexible, of course, as it lets you do anything you like.

switch(x) {
case A:
case B:
printf("value is: %d\n",important_array[x]);
if(x==A) /* something */;
} else if(x==B) /* something else */;

Belgium is the highest taxed OECD country by a substantial margin when looking at total tax wedge. Far higher than the Scandinavian countries for an overall tax wedge of 55.3% of labour costs (2015) [1]. For comparison the next two are Austria at 49.5% and Germany at 49.4%. Sweden 42.7%. Norway is at 36.6%, Denmark 36.4%.

The thing is you obscure it with an unusually high employer social security contribution.

But even looking at "just" income tax and employee contributions on an average salary, Belgium ends up at 32.4% of total employee costs (so these numbers are lower than the percentages paid of gross salary) vs. Norway with 25.2%, Sweden with 18.8% and Denmark at 35.8%.

If you instead of looking at total labour costs, you look at gross wages, Belgium is at 42%, vs Denmark 36%, Norway 28.4%, Sweden 24.7% (for comparison: US: 25.6%). This also places Belgium as the highest taxed OECD country,

Denmark is the extreme opposite of Belgium, in that Denmark has extremely low employer social security contribution and no employee social security contributions (it's baked into the income tax).

Homebrew is rather limited in what it can control, i.e. in Linux almost everything is under the control of your package manager, there's no tracking, updates roll faster if you're on something like Arch and the overall user interface makes more sense.

I've also found that homebrew packages sometimes don't contain the necessary header files for development, (i.e. imagemagick), so you're forced to switch to MacPorts just for that and it's altogether more painful than on Linux.

It also simply just doesn't feel like a lot of the tools target macOS, there's an outdated bash shipped by default and Apple even broke curl recently[1].

Better online banking and mobile apps, and two-factor auth, are advantages of big banks with large IT budgets.
Sue. Sue them for all they're worth. I was at Uber for six months, and I had enough - Mostly because of the blatant backstabbing and shell games managers were trying to play, rating their worst performers highly just long enough to get them transferred out, pointing out only the negative aspects of what their better workers were doing. There were some good people and some bad, but ultimately the culture was toxic, and the rampant sexism was just one (very large) part of it.
Hard drugs, drunk driving, driving without seat belts are not legal options that make people better off. Buying food below certain levels of quality for cheap is not an option.

The more formulaic the movie, the more it becomes a vehicle for the novelty of its premise, precisely because the familiarity and shallowness of a formulaic film serve to focus your attention on the symbolism that distinguishes it from other formulaic movies. In this case it's destructive aliens, massive walls (albeit of limited effectiveness), heavy manufacturing, and nuclear apocalypse (for the bad guys). The actual plot of a movie is often a sideshow to the iconography the producers wish to put on display, and reflections of a film's ideological environment are often unintentional.

It's kinda like the way all zombie movies explore a basically similar political question about the relationship between small groups of resourceful individuals vs a hostile unthinking mob that threatens their survival.

Re capitalism, don't you think people have heard that argument already many times and that many of them have decided it's not going to work out that way? It's not lack of awareness that things are materially far better than under the alternatives, it's the disillusionment that sets in at the lack of a credible alternative. You're essentially arguing that people should forget the odds and play the game as if they didn't know them, which is absurd.

I've always heard HR works for the company's interest first and foremost. Go to a lawyer first and have them communicate with the C-level execs. Although Uber sounds like it has a pretty toxic culture all the way up.
This research is flawed. There is a connection between social and environmental sustainability, but they do not work independent from one another.
What we know is, the most environmentally sustainable cities, are also the most equal. This has to do with a 'culture', or less corruption, more collaboration, and governments that work.
If you want to improve sustainability, it starts in the culture.

As a developer who moved from Java and JavaScript (IntelliJ IDEA) to Swift and Xcode about a year ago, the experience has been horrendous. How is it okay for a company as big and serious as Apple to have an IDE and tooling as bad as Xcode? The IDE frequently crashes, there is no refactoring support at all, practically non-existant code completion, syntax highlightning frequently stops working, etc etc.
As far as I've been able to tell, Apple engineers use "file a radar" to mean "I'd rather let someone else triage that, or even better yet I'd rather you get lost in the system, so here's a quest for you to go on so I can get back to work", particularly as we all know that at the end of that quest the result will be "marked as duplicate", past which point Apple refuses to give you any more information or even a follow-up. I would honestly rather there just be an e-mail address bugs@apple.com to which I could shoot off random issues I run into, from which I know I'd get no response, than Radar.
er.. you should probably move. Bitflips aren't the only things radiation does. Bitflips in DNA for example.
The headline seems a bit sensational given that the actual ban applies to government and tourist establishments. Seems reasonable that any government should be able to setup standards that have only the jurisdiction to apply to their own entities and/or functions. This doesn't prevent individuals from consuming things as they see fit.

Additionally most of these imported items inherently cost more than local foods in a lot of places anyways so it's not completely out of the norm.
The word "reputable" does not match the rest of your post.
Exactly. For example, I don't consume alcohol. When I do so on the rare occasion, just a little hits me very hard. Regular drinkers don't have this issue. I would never think of going from zero alcohol to consuming a bottle of vodka every day.

I also enjoy a pretty healthy diet/lifestyle - low-salt, low-fat, fruits, veggies, plenty of fiber, regular exercise... I find that my body reacts very badly if I "treat" myself and indulge throughout the day in whatever everyone else consumes so freely. No such issue if it's just a single meal.

I need to taper in (ie, the Holidays are a good example). High salt, high-fat meals are especially hard hitting. I can counter this with lots more water, fiber for example. I also know that if I remained on these richer diets, eventually my body wouldn't react so strongly but I would also need to make other dietary changes. Damon Gameau admits he did not make other changes to his diet.

The experiment was a non-stop, high-dose, sugar binge (40 tsp is incredibly high) that went from 0-100 mph in a microsecond.
Yeah that was my question - I was under the impression putting code up on github carries an implied license with it.
