Yeah, that's a good point. For some reason I was thinking of the Bolt with more like 200 mile range, which could still make this trip, but it would be close once you add in the bit of driving she did at the destination.

But I think the larger point is still valid: the charging infrastructure is still not nearly as widespread as gas stations and charging still takes longer than re-fueling. For us, the compromise of a range extender is still the best of both worlds. We can run electric most of the time, but we can still use the Volt as a "regular car" for road trips.
It's one thing to be inexperienced. It's entirely another to be this incompetent.
Are you sure about that? When I profile it in chrome, about 50% of the time is spent in the garbage collector and "(program)". Randomly pausing the debugger most hits the ad code, which I think is what is causing the problem. It seems to be constantly loading and displaying the same ad over and over again, or something dumb along those lines.

The irony is that there are only two small, mostly static adverts on the entire friggin page.

Anyway, debugging this webpage was much more interesting than the article itself :)
That's basically the goal, yeah. I think it's very difficult to prevent people from being tribal and emotional at all, but I think the bigger issue right now is that existing platforms for political discussion encourage people to ensconce themselves in bubbles of like-minded people. I'm hoping to create a platform where people will at least be exposed to representative members of the other tribes, rather than whatever strawmen manage to make it through their bubble.

Your beliefs notwithstanding, I think that there are a fair number of people who do identify as either unambiguously right-leaning or left-leaning, and I intended the blue and red categories on the site to be for them. I was hoping that people like yourself that don't feel comfortable with either label would be comfortable choosing "neither". It's meant to include both people who are confused about their stances, as well as people who are sure but don't identify with either the right or the left.

However, it looks like people didn't interpret the categories the way that I expected them to. I'm going to rework the signup page to try and make the third category more appealing to people like yourself (and like myself!) who have strong views but don't see themselves on either the left or the right.
Heh, was playing Overwatch with this tab open, frames dropped by 50%. Wondered what the hell it was.
It'll also have a disruptive (sic) affect in VDI where you won't need high end nVidia or AMD GPUs to do VDI but can use decent intel ones and just carve them up. Then again you'll likely not get the performance that a dedicated high end GPU like the aforementioned ones provide with an integrated chip.
>I'm curious to see what the performance of that heatsink would be with a suitably-sized squirrel cage fan inserted into it.

Surprisingly poor. A large conventional heatsink like the Noctua NH-D15 has far greater surface area. The densely packed fins of a conventional heatsink perform poorly if you're relying on convection, but they will dissipate a lot of heat with even modest airflow.

Seriously, this paper really surprises me. I find ambition very attractive, especially as a signal for a bunch of other personality traits (intelligence, seriousness, drive, etc.).

I understand that there's men who don't, but it really feels like they're either hung up on weird gender norms or trying to find a method of asserting dominance.
You are extending a lot of good will towards the "ask my female employees for sex on the first day" boss in this situation. "a desperate person having a very bad day"? I encourage you to reflect on your investment in extending to this person such an excuse. Why should that person not endure whatever scrutiny would follow from an HR inquiry into that behavior? Why is your instinct to shield that person, by suggesting that it might be the author's responsibility to brush it off?

"sex is handled extremely differently than the rest ... [is there] reason for that[?]" I mean US internet culture is the place where this baleful notion of the "friend zone" exists: men who complain bitterly that being nice to women does not secure for them a sexual relationship. Denigration or retaliation following sexual rejection is a well-documented practice. From what history do you think sexual harassment laws spring? Women fought for them because they survived regular abuse, manipulation and retaliation from men (especially superiors). Have you read any of this history? for example: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2011/1114/The-evolution...
Sure, I'd love to hear your ideas!
That's because it's mostly wing. It dates from the Dash-80 era of slim, pure jets and low-bypass engines. Today's high-bypass engines are big shrouded fans with a jet engine at the center to spin them. Fuel economy is much better, but the engines look bloated.
Appreciate your politeness in a such controversial topic.

Apparently, when the both persons are already in a romantic relationship, or are spouses (which can happen in a family business) it's not harassment. Thus, whether such offer is harassment or not is based on a subjective judgement of each party, rather than some hard-coded rule. In the case described by the author it was clearly harassment because one party perceived it so.

Even when it's not harassment and wanted by both parties, it still can be undesirable from a professional ethics perspective as it can affect morale of other employees. So it leaves very few cases when it's acceptable, but they do exist.
Awesome! I'm very excited for native Linux support on the Pine64 boards with this release.
I've been doing a lot of stuff with DL4J lately and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. The API seems very sane, it's very flexible, but yet it's easy to get a basic network up and running. The documentation is pretty good and there are a lot of videos from Adam up on Youtube showing off aspects of it. And it has native support for running on Spark with iterative parameter averaging, etc.

I honestly wonder why DL4J doesn't get more love... I'm guessing it's just the halo effect of being associated with "Java" which is no longer cool with the hipster crowd.
Is this a good option?

If you do contract development, it's really not that risky. If anything, I'd argue it's riskier not having that option available. Even though I've taken full-time jobs on occasion, always having the option to fall back on contracting is an amazing safety net.
We should teach our sons to truly respect women. We should teach our sons to be respectful honest decent human beings. We should teach our sons to not be assholes who think they are entitled to a woman’s body. We should teach our sons to be humans with emotions and empathy for others. We should teach our sons to not be toxic despicable entitled pathetic beings. It’s on us (men). If we behave badly, it’s squarely on us. No external factor (law, regulation, social status, etc) would have any effect if we don’t know how (or don’t want) to be good.

> The first detection of the isotope came during the second week of January, via an air sampling station located in Svanhovd.

Both of the above quotes are from the article.

Trump didn't assume office until 1/20/17. The THIRD week of January. If this was US testing of nuclear arms, it came under the direction & instruction of Obama, not Trump.

In a lot of countries, it is easier to enforce a public ban than it is to collect taxes.

A high tax on imports may simply lead to imports being smuggled in, and tax stamps being forged. A total ban can be trivially enforced---see a junk food container, its illegal.
I'm unsure what difference you see between "a plus" and "marginally positive" except I'm specifically pointing out it's probably a secondary consideration to profit.

"Is it really that crazy that you might meet a girl/guy you might want to date at work?"

Yeah it's really, really crazy if you are in the position of authority over whomever you are harassing. It's still a huge problem even if you have the other person's consent. Uber HR is a real shitshow for not even realizing the basic fact that this is not just bad for the employee but is colossally
hurting the company's interest too. I have worked in companies in third world countries and don't think this level of hostility and lack of principle is even present there.
It's really just a criticism of dependency injection /frameworks/.

Manually wiring dependencies by calling constructors is still dependency injection. This also has the upside that the compiler will check you have satisfied all dependencies, and you can more easily trace execution.

Frameworks like Guice/Spring are often used to hide lots of wiring boilerplate but come at a price of losing typesafety, adding more magic, and hiding some code smells. If your wiring is getting complex perhaps you need more modularity.
Regulations are based on how we can account for profits, net revenue, capital gains. These companies don't record profit (an accounting term). They record net revenue to avoid income tax. See the chart in the essay.

You can give the user the option to self-identify, and then basically ignore it and use an internal index for the actual determination based on their voting patterns, etc. I think that's better than punishing people for "being open-minded", i.e., identifying as left-leaning but playing devil's advocate for the right, or finding their political leanings beginning to shift.

I honestly wonder how people here would react if a blog posts like this came out about a company that hasn’t necessarily been in the news for this many past bad behavior. Would we still condemn that company or would we blame the victim, as is the case usually?
> It's the first time this has come to my attention

the guy must be asleep at the wheel.
Aesthetically pleasing:

- The Palm Pre (1st edition). It is an absolutely amazing, brilliant piece of hardware (especially back in 2009) that fits just right in my hand like a pebble. The curved screen is brilliant to the eyes and to the touch. It also has an interface that is not cluttered and busy like shit in other mainstream OSes then, and now.

But I mainly like things that are designed for ease of maintenance:

- The iPhone 4s and iPhone 5. Like the iPhone or hate it, but the iPhone is a marvelous engineering feat. First, the amount of components it could hold. Second, how strong and robust it is for such a small body. Third, how easy it is to replace the most vulnerable component, the screen.

- The iPod Nano 2nd Edition. It is such a timeless design that is extremely small and practical. It is really easy to open up the iPod Nano should you need to replace the battery, too.

- Dell Chromebook 13 and Acer Chromebook 720: It took 8 screws to open them and get to the battery, CMOS, RAM, SSD, CPU, WLAN card.

- Sony Walkmans. It was an eye-opening experience to see a player that is barely bigger than a tape, with features packed in it in the era of tapes, moving motors, pulleys, cogs and such.

But my most admired understated design has to be the Thinkpad line.

About 10 years ago, when computers were hot, clunky, and easy to break; I had a friend asking me to look at her coffee spilled Thinkpad T42 or T43 (I think). I just moved to the US for college for a month and had only a screwdriver toolset. Thankfully to its brilliant design [1], it only took a single screwdriver to lift the whole keyboard and touchpad up and get to everything, including the CPU. And the keyboard was spill resistant, so not that much liquid leaked either. I asked my roommate to take me to the nearest Radioshack to get a tube of heat spreader, and dried the whole thing with a hairdryer. It worked like new.

I could still remember the horror of opening Dell D6x0 laptops at my college IT department. What a fucking joke of a design - there is nothing good I could say about those "business machines" on the inside. It got to the point that if anything went wrong with those computers, the IT department just called the "Dell guy" to go fix it.

5 years ago, I even bet my roommate to pour a cup of water on a running Thinkpad. It survived.

And the Thinkpads now are barely different from the Thinkpads then and the Thinkpads from the beginning. It says something about the design, does it?

Maybe because it is more of a clear-cut case of sexism and workplace intimidation, than, say, ones about “watching your co-workers hula-hooping” (https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/15/julie-ann-horvath-describe...) or “making a joke about dongles”? (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/how-dongle-jokes...)

Those cases invoke skepticism because they twist otherwise innocuous situations and try to blow them up into witch hunts where people lose their livelihood. No one should lose their job because an accusatory party happened to overhear them making a stupid juvenile dongle joke.

Susan's case on the other hand has clear, well-defined accusations of people acting in what sounds like unprofessional and sexist behavior to anyone with common sense. People should get fired if they ask their subordinates for sex multiple times. No wonder it (rightly) gets a lot of support.
Arguably one of the benefits of marriage lies expressly in the expense of divorce. It's a way of precommitting people to working through the rough patches in a marriage instead of splitting at the first sign of trouble. If you look at it strictly from a game theoretic viewpoint, there's definitely value in having a contracted cost of separation. The tough part is in making sure this cost isn't too high (as it used to be) nor too low (that people run immediately).
> I do have to complement the authors of this article.

Why? for blatantly lying and misrepresenting facts such as Trump was president when these "tests" took place?

> It presents the facts and leaves out political rhetoric and noise.

It does the exact opposite: it portends to lay out facts, but instead it lies about which president under which these "tests" occurred, so everything else they state is suspect.
Was my comment so ambiguous?
i recently started brushing/flossing/shaving/etc in my kitchen, which has a better view, and is larger, and usually pretty damn clean.

maybe not an exact match, but the "dark triad" traits are shown to be effective for individual career progress, but negatively correlated to organizational performance.

The older we get the less we put up with bullshit, the more we trust our own intuition about when it's time to get out. Unfortunately this only comes (at least for me) after many painful experiences. (Nothing like what OP has had to endure tho.)
I think it'd be cool if instead of left, middle, or right, the user was allowed to drag a dot that approximated their leanings onto the graph that these fancier tests usually display. That'd give the user a lot more flexibility and would provide more information about their self-perspective.

The most important thing to remember in all such engagements is that self-reported values are never reliable. People are always subconsciously biased to report themselves as more like what they want to be, and what they want to think of them as. A real evaluation of their place on the political spectrum would need to be compiled from data on their history/expressed opinions.

Though it'd be difficult, an interesting potential use of a site like this is helping people realize that they are more left or right leaning than they previously thought. You'd have to be careful about the messaging since a lot of people would be offended if the computer told them "I know you said you're a lifelong Democrat, but we think you agree with Trump 75% of the time". But if it's done right, this type of tool could open a lot of minds and neutralize the poisonous, vindictive political discourse that people often use to pit groups against one another.
Yes, but the article immediately acknowledges those are fringe theories:

> A more likely possibility is that some sort of limited nuclear material storage, research, or power generation incident has occurred
Organic systems fare better when decentralised, that much is true (bacteria are inarguably more successful than man), but the politicisation of media in any direction is dangerous. SMTP didn't try sell you on an ethos.

Social and content silos, our natural tendency to create filter bubbles, and adversarial machine learning 'curating' your experiences and thus effectively, your culture; this is the danger.
No reference, but I'm pretty sure I remember it from DOS 5.
Did you just discover a new saying or phrase?
That's silly. There's plenty of information that's not news. Have you heard of history?
In early versions, DOS pipes weren't real pipes. It would run the first command and save the output to a temporary file; then once that was finished, run the second command with the file as input. I'm not sure when it gained real pipes.
To be honest, I didn't detect any slant at all. There is basically no suggestion anywhere that the US might be involved in this, with all probabilities pointing to Russian involvement; that line about Trump seems added more to dismiss any US involvement than to point fingers.
Really? Alright I'll bite. They only promulgate the regulations that are enforced. And if you're being pedantic enough to insist it's the DoJ, then my point still stands under one led by Sessions.
It's used a ton, everywhere.

Encryption uses random numbers throughout for salts, nonces, IV's etc...

Machine learning using neural nets is basically based off of random numbers.

Numerical approximation for compilacated problems usually has a starting point that is random.

Bitcoin is all about generation of special random numbers for coins

Randomness make its way into network protocols because the routing infastructure of the internet is non deterministic

Relatedly, many wireless and wireline protocols use random numbers to avoid collisions when multiple transmitters share the same channel.

Many hash algorithms rely on the strength of random numbers to guarantee good storage properties.

Distributed systems usually distribute loads randomly. Including round robin DNS, many high level load balancers, and anycast routing decisions.

Many wireless protocols use the statistical properties of random numbers to "scramble" data in a way that lowers interference, makes data harder to intercept, increases reception sensitivity, or a combination of these traits. See GPS signals for a famous example.

Random numbers are incredibly important for so many systems, but it sounds like your teacher stuck to the ones that didn't need additional explanation.

Did i miss something? The only mention i can see to Trump in the piece is:

> There has been some talk about even the US restarting its nuclear testing under President Trump, but this is largely speculation mixed with hyperbole.
The line is drawn when you make a site, test it, notice that it runs like a pig, and then think to yourself "You know what, this is fine". There's an obvious difference between an honest mistake and just plain incompetence with a dash of lazy.

I'm all for equal opportunities and whatever, but when the bar gets set too low then we all suffer.
There are plenty of cheaper CDMA phones that don't support GSM. Most of the higher end phones support both.

And then there is another scenario like I believe some of the Google Nexus tablets only support LTE on Verizon and won't work at all if there is no 4G on a CDMA network. It will work on 3G/3.5G GSM networks.
> Please try to get better at conceiving things, it's important.

Snotty replies probably don't have the effect you intend.

The author was brave to write this, and the article is important.

My negative post was probably unwarranted, but it was only meant as stylistic criticism, not to cast doubt on her credibility. There are several quotes that seem paraphrased in a way that benefits her point of view. Another example: her manager says he won't order the women's jackets because they cost "a little more than the men's jackets." Did he really say they cost a little more? Or did he say they cost more? People rarely add superfluous adjectives that weaken their own argument.

This probably seems like I'm nitpicking, and I am. Maybe her manager really did say they'd only cost "a little bit more," and maybe HR suggested the idea that her manager would probably give her a bad review. I don't know. But if not, my point is this: if you're writing as damning an account as this, you can afford to write it neutrally, particularly when a sentence that begins with "He said...", "They said...", etc. It will actually come off stronger.
Around windows nt/95 when multi-tasking was added would be my bet.
