I have noticed the same phenomenon. Since humans are social creatures I think there is an evolutionary bias to avoid decision paralysis and just follow whoever seems to be the most confident. We are better off in general if we just cooperate and take action instead of deliberating every decision so people seem to be wired to just accept the first thing that appears to be reasonable.

I considered the nuclear navy program in 1986/1987 as a college junior, looked like an interesting opportunity. There were 3 tracks (not the official terms):

+ nuclear operator on a ship or submarine
+ nuclear school instructor
+ naval nuclear reactor program manager

I qualified for the "naval nuclear reactor program manager" and went to San Diego to tour a nuclear submarine, then a few months later flew to DC. The local university recruiter accompanied me both times. Nobody told me much what the "naval nuclear reactor program manager" work involved because they really didn't know and couldn't say. I finally had a chance in DC to talk to someone who actually did the work, and the fit didn't seem quite right at the time -- I'd be traveling a lot to GE, Westinghouse, etc., and reviewing designs, change management, etc., -- not a lot of original work. The few days before the meeting I'd been wavering every hour or so. Had they caught me a few minutes before or after, who knows, I might have decided differently. I felt sorry for the recruiter.

Of course, I was naïve at the time -- nobody, especially in nuclear, starts off with original work.

I count that as one of the four or five big forks in my own "destiny".

edit: the naïve part.
I think you'll find the SEO community to be pretty scientific.

Web freedom have gone 'softly' which is the best way to do something outrageous I suppose. Softly and slowly.

Soon, posting articles about illegal states or economic boycotting will deduct your social popularity on social media. It really isn't too far away. Just replace points with 'recommendations' or 'popular' and it will be done.

Social points seems too draconian. Recommendations is better. What we thought was years away has already begun.

You can also get provider-independent (PI) addresses, which you can use and move between ISPs with BGP. If they're using Zayo and Level 3 at the same time, you would need PI-IPs that you can move to the other ISP when one ISP is down.

Or, another option is that they're doing CGNAT on all of their client traffic.

Sure, some businesses aren't going to work out / the economics don't work.

Others are like the wire manufacturer MLP Steel: there will (probably) continue to be a need for someone who can make custom stuff fast, and that requires you to be local so it's a couple day delivery instead of a month being shipped from China. But their claim is they pay "$12 to $20 an hour, plus health care and benefits", which means they start you at $12. The fuck do they expect for $12 an hour? That's under $20k/year after taxes, in an area where craigslist suggests it's going to cost you $700/mo to rent and heat a place to live. Again, my brother who runs pizza restaurants starts employees at $16.

How Hackers Are Helping Dating Site Users Find True Love
It's sad because NZ was originally on the track to be a socialistic paradise. At one time University was very low cost; almost free. Today student loans never gain interest .. until you leave the country for more than six months (NZ is trying to prevent losing talent with people moving to Australia).

AirNZ was once owned by the government. Many of the power companies were as well, until the John Key asset sales. Even before asset sales, NZ paid some of the highest rates in the world for electricity. ($200/month single occupancy power bills were not uncommon).

Wellington was the only city I lived in where someone broke into my house. Break-ins around x-mas are pretty common - lot of theft and people buying presents off TradeMe.

It's still an amazing country, great affordable health care and wonderful people. Software patents are banned in NZ, which is another huge plus. However a lot of the corruption is getting worse and the GCSB is allowed to spy on all its citizens now.

This is more of a small business and as employees are hard enough to find in the first place; drinking off the job is fine. DUIs are not. Heck, knowing my Uncle, I doubt that he'd really care if you smoked pot or whatnot, you just can't get courts involved as then the insurance companies will drop you.

For work, it's the addictive drugs that are the real worry. Addicts steal things out of cars, they don't come in because they are on a bender, they show up high, etc. Drunks do this too, but they stay sober for longer. Most people relapse though and then you have to fire them. It happens a lot and for a lot of reasons, but they still have to go.

I'll note: my uncle is very much a rarity in auto-repair. If you go into the back room of most auto-shops, you'll find a fridge of Buds or Coors. Guys may have one or two during lunch. Its not that big of a deal typically. Also, Crank gets it's nickname because the Hell's Angels used to hid the meth in the crankshafts of their choppers. Hallucinogens are not common as they don't take the edge off like opioids or booze. Hucking dirty transmissions in 100+ heat while covered in grease and grime is not a good idea for your back. Its a problem, yes, but the US fleet is maintained by guys on god-knows-what and has been since Al Capone's rum runners. Check the writing on your transmission or oil-pan, in yellow grease pen it'll have the initials of the guy that last worked on it, his phone/shop name, and maybe a lewd drawing of him smoking something.

There have been a few high profile incidences of fairly bad things happening over the last year; see the code of conduct introduced at some conferences after some of them. Some people just don't know how to behave appropriately, sad to say. This story being a poster child for how not to behave, and how not to handle the situation properly if you're in HR.

And regarding the last paragraph, I'm not talking about anything in the workplace between colleagues or otherwise. I'm talking about creepy strangers propositioning people they have never ever met or communicated with, on github. github is not a dating or hookup site for strangers. It's for sharing and collaborating on code. There are other, more appropriate, sites for dating- and hookup-related activities with willing participants who opted into it. No one wants or needs to deal with strangers propositioning them through the tools they use for their professional work. You should not feel required to hide your appearance or identity to be comfortable doing your job without being harassed, unsolicited, by strangers.

finding data about underreporting of sexual harassment in the workplace is by definition difficult, since it is by definition not being reported, so anecdotes are all we have in many cases.

If you want a source though, here is one: (https://hbr.org/2016/10/why-we-fail-to-report-sexual-harassm...)

In this case, the data is moot. It doesn't matter if 10% of women experience this, or 90%. Whether or not it is a problem is not in debate. It is a problem. Preventing sexual harassment is everyone's responsibility, even if you are not the one harassing.
Why are fewer people interested in doing IT?
The question is fingerprinting the monitor. In the HDMI world you can get the serial number from the EDID record usually. If you're in an adapter which is interposing as a 'virtual' monitor between you and the real monitor all bets are off. We had an old Matrox unit that would take 3 DVI monitors and make them appear as one monitor for example.

On the surface dock the dual monitors connect to the dock's DP connectors.

Well said. Those of us who have worked with folks in management at Uber or who have friends who have worked at Uber all know very well what Uber is like.

India to meet its energy needs from the moon surface by 2030
First off, I'm a man and I haven't fared a whole lot better over the years. You never go to HR for any reason. I once had an absentee manager whom the entire team complained about. Why the hell the company even protected that asshat is a mystery to me, but they backed him to the hilt while basically censuring all of us. That's not as bad as sexual harassment, but the state some of these companies are in and yet they still manage to operate!

And this is why so many working people are stressed to the max and basically just don't give a shit anymore.

This is great news. Is there sufficient interest in making a secure dumb phone ? If it's cheap enough, I think some people may be interested. The rough design for the phone can be something like this: It should not be a real phone. i.e., No baseband or actual cellular connection. It should work only over wifi (ath9k maybe?), and have provisions for always-on TOR/VPN. The rest of the hardware and software can be derived as some combination of Neo900, Replicant and copperheadOS

+1 for the fast-talking engineer phenomenon. I think quickness of thought is a fitness that can be exercised, mostly orthogonally to deep thought. We all eventually find someone who thinks and talks faster than ourselves, but indeed we also eventually become that person to another. If you find yourself feeling like you're 10 steps ahead, the best thing to do is give ample room for your conversational foil to express their thoughts. If they disagree, don't immediately assume it's because they haven't considered everything. You should go in with the good faith assumption that they intuitively see a corner case you haven't considered, and then work collaboratively with them to put their objection into words. After all, if there is a problem, it will rear its head eventually, whether or not you can "win" the argument!

Trouble with QB is how entrenched the CPA community is around it. Our CPA howled at the idea of Xero and was the reason we stayed with QB for as long as we did.

Things I’ve Recently Learned About Legislative Redistricting
This works for me With Win 10. At work I use a docking station with 2 screens. At home I plug a MiniDP adapter with a single monitor. At work screens are side by side. At home laptop screen is below monitor. Whenever I plug in it knows what configuration to go to.
These looks like some nice additions to the Windows 10 virtual desktop. I remember playing with Compiz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz) on SUSE Linux back when Windows Vista was still in beta, and thinking how futuristic the multi-desktop functionality was.
In a broader scope, if I may: If we suppose there are people that are undervalued by the dominant market process, where's the arbitrage -- teams seeking that talent out and applying it for gain (and competing with one another to correct the price)?

Is it the case we have a bear market for human intellectual effort and "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" -- the rare organizations capable of skilled-labor arbitrage can't form and thrive?

Or, are humans just that much less useful to organizations (and capital) than we are used to suppose (and than they are currently compensated)?
Ruby `reject!`
Do you actually expect to turn a profit doing this? Seems like it will never pay for itself.
I guess I was reading a different article, as there was no mention of slowing or stopping. I would say that companies should be taxed more when they use more efficient robots to replace workers for the simple reason they are more profitable. Most companies probably do not pay the same amount of taxes as inefficient human workers employed by them would but that is not an issue with the robots but corporate tax breaks. I don't have the answer but taxing robot workers is not realistic, where do you draw the line?
I also find ironic the fact that now that Bill Gates has made his billions by selling products that have done and continue to do exactly what he suggests cost jobs, should somehow be taxed. I agree that innovation disrupts the status quo and produces a redistribution of wealth that in many cases is very uneven but keep government out of it please.

The article highlighted four direct quotes from Kalanick's interview with GQ magazine, not "the 4 most awful true facts about Travis Kalanick."

Do you understand the difference between digging up and exposing embarrassing personal details about a person and his or her family, and quoting what a person said in a magazine interview?
Got excited for a minute when I saw "Virual Desktop" on Win10 and then saw it changes nothing about the desktops themselves.

Unless I'm totally missing something, is there a way to make Win10 believe the desktop size is larger than the video screen size? With or without device resolution indepdence, I don't care. Let it scroll or something.

It's just really sucky when I'm trying to debug an application that expects a large monitor (ala 1280x960 or something) and my laptop only has 1366x768. Qt literally says "screw it, I'm clipping your window" in these cases.
> we just don't bother doing large matrix multiplications, because they're so expensive

Sure, I agree. I'm not a specialist in numerical lin.alg., but I've heard it said that if you're spending a lot of time on large dense matrix multiplications, you're probably approaching the problem in the wrong way.
If Nim continues at the same pace, it may displace Python.

It is "as fun as" Python to start with, it has the knobs that made python popular in many niches. It has official JS, C, C++ and Objective-C backends (with perfectly compatible and natively fast FFI in each case). It compiles down to small, efficient executables like Go does.

It has some of the best metaprogramming facilities (in a non-lisp language), which makes it possible to introduce "source native" notation for e.g. XML and JSON.

It also has an LLVM backend, though it is not yet complete.

Nim is a big and complicated language, but so is Python. The size of a language itself is not a problem, as Python shows. Unlike C++, you don't have to be familiar with every small metaclass/descriptor/base-class-lookup issue to use the language. I believe Nim shares Python's "it's ok to ignore the details until you need them" feature.

My question asks if it is possible to use Telegram's API to communicate with someone in a way that does not require the user to create or authenticate with an account. But it may require a loosely permissive authorization token provided by the person with whom the user wishes to communicate.

Intergram achieves this (if I understand correctly) by using an intermediary server between the user and Telegram's API.

What I'm further asking is if the same behavior is possible without the intermediary server.

Even the title reveals the ridiculous conspiracy theories the author is going to spout: in their endless search for someone to blame for Trump's election, surely none could be less likely than 4chan!
I honestly don't see Signal and Matrix as competitors. I guess Signal is trying to position themselves as a chat service, but I see it more as a replacement for SMS, whereas Matrix I see as more replacing IRC and instant messenger products.

If we had to choose between them, I'd take Matrix in a heartbeat, but I just let them co-exist.
