Yeah, it's the one thing that nearly put me off buying one - I'm six foot and it didn't quite feel right. I'm glad I took the plunge though: I got used to the slightly more upright driving position, and I love the car. The upside of the slightly more restricted seat rails, btw, is that rear passengers always have great leg room, even in such a small car.
What shocks me is the talented engineers still putting in hard work for the benefit of this system that they all hate. Companies blackball employees all the time, but the employees are happy to go the extra mile for an antisocial management structure and a megalomaniac boss? What's wrong with you people?

As a lazy Debian user, I checked all of these and found none on Debian repositories, which due to Ubuntu and other direct or indirect derivatives is probably the best way of making such software widely available and known.

Immediately upon learning of our deaths the executors of Dick's estate (his two highly computer literate kids) will post two files on our www.compmngr.com web site and will send out a broadcast email advising our customers how to download the files. The first file is a small standalone computer program called RegisterEvent.exe, which allows you to create your own registration files. So you won't have to register with Douglass Associates and you won't have to pay a registration fee. You can read more about RegisterEvent and how to use it below. The second file is a ZIP file containing all the source code for COMPMNGR and its supporting programs. This file will only be of interest to those few users who want to continue COMPMNGR development and who either know C++ programming or or willing to hire a C++ programmer.*

>Growing up, even as far back as primary school, we would do the Hitler salute, quote the man, or make jokes about jews or gas chambers.

If that kind of disgusting behavior has been normalized then it really does need to be called out. Dutch and Swedish culture aren't beyond criticism.

>Other popular edgy topics include loud homophobia, and ironically anal fixation. It was mostly the guys who did this, but it was rampant nonetheless (and IMO not indicative of deep-seated isms).

As a gay person I can tell you that it's not very comforting to know that loudly homophobic people don't consider themselves to be homophobes. You might want to consider the effects of your actions on other people from time to time.

> including overt endorsement of the Nazis and gas chamber jokes. As far as I can tell none of us are anti-semites or fascists.

So your Jewish friends are all laughing along with you at the gas chamber jokes?

edit: I was foolish enough to take the word of you and other posters regarding the wording of the initial WSJ article. In fact, the article does not say that PewDiePie is anti-semitic, and it mentions that he was "joking". So I really have no idea what you guys are complaining about.

Why? Things break. Critical things act up. You patch it up and work towards automating the fix or fixing the problem during business hours. Maybe you are focusing on the "often" part? Depending on the stack you work with, I think often has a different meaning.

Have had one for over 10 years now, used it for bike commuting in Seattle, motorcycle commuting in Rwanda and a grocery shopping in Ecuador.

For roughly $400 you can get yourself a setup that will make you better latte's than 90% of coffee shops. I have a souped up PID'd Silvia with a super fancy burr grinder as well, which is also great, but the bang for the buck of the Gaggia is hard to beat and it is serviceable, so you can take it apart and descale or repair it for decades to come. The hand grinder has enough adjustability for this class of machine, produces a super consistent grind and adds a fun routine to your morning.

I love the odometer on the blendtec. I think we are something like 1600 blends and it still powers through anything we throw at it. It's been about 5 or 6 years. It better not die the day after the 10 year warranty runs out!

The only complaint would be sometimes we wish it had the integrated stir stick that the Vitamix comes with. If there's not enough liquid in your smoothy it tends to not blend through everything without a bit of shaking the carafe.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I didn't think testing for radio compliance would be too tricky.

The license agreement bits do have me a bit perplexed. I'm not sure how that works out. I was admittedly rolling with conjecture and surmising a bit in my other comment, although it did sound plausible.
This was an oversight not removal. If you read the bug report they have already resolved this by putting the option in another place to disable this.
The UK already refuses to extradite for criminal proceedings where the death penalty is a possibility. It must specifically be denied as an option for sentence prior to extradition being arranged.

Having said that, what I've heard about the federal prison system makes me think that a coupe of injections and a permanent nap might actually be more humane. /s
Your points reveal the nature of NZ how I found it after living there. It is a nation of well-mannered, and sometimes incredibly friend people, yet with far-more-corrupt-than-you-would-imagine institutions. They have the highest per-capita War on Drugs in the world that includes selectively-enforced laws and no progress on the harmful impact to society of drug abuse. Yet with all that money spent on law enforcement, one at a hostel who was mugged could not even get police to investigate the crime.

NZ ranked as the #1 least corrupt place in the world is some major bullshit. They have government-sanctioned monopolies in everything from office property to ski resorts. Telecom industry is even more of a joke than Australia or US.

Nowhere else in the Western world have I seen such a disgusting display of sex workers as I did in NZ. Of people mugged and beaten up for no reason. Of overt racism. However, there's also some of the nicest people in the world there, and it is a beautiful country.

Anyways, Kim Dotcom's case just adds to the list of bullshit to what should otherwise be a utopia.

"It is illegal to shoot down an aircraft in such a situation in Germany."

No! The Verfassungsgerichtshof ("supreme court") ruling, makes it illegal for the government to give an order to shoot down the airplane (i.e. to make a decision on actively killing some people to save others). Most lawyers, however, agree that the pilot of the nearby fighter jet would face none or minor legal consequences if deciding to shoot down such a rouge airplane. IANAL which is why I refer for details to the following German blog (by a well renowned judge): http://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2016-10/ard-fe...

Doubtful; I feel quite the same about the Pentel Twist-Erase III, which, in a variety of lead diameters, has been my implement of choice since high school. This is not least because it excels among mechanical pencils in having the eraser be other than an afterthought - as hinted by the name, the upper barrel contains a twist mechanism which houses an eraser that's a quarter inch in diameter and over an inch in length, and which is immediately available rather than requiring partial disassembly to access. It's also, like that on the Ticonderoga, made of rubber that does its job, which you'd think would be the only criterion but go figure.

Those are mostly orthogonal concerns to the ones raised in the GP. If the GP are correct in the details (I am not familiar with the situation), then the civil service acted purposefully to circumvent and undermine the government. No matter how bad they perceive the government to be (as described, we're not talking about crimes, but deep and probably reasonable disagreements on policy and execution), that's not what they are supposed to do. This is exactly what a "deep state" does: It opaquely keeps the power in the bureaucracy to "protect" the nation against the government, and that is obviously not compatible with democracy. Protecting against bad governments is what term limits and the electorate are meant to do, the civil service is supposed to loyally staff (within reason, of course -- civil servants are also citizens) the actually elected government.

The article isn't about the legitimacy of any individual leaks, rather:

Even if each individual leak is justifiable, as insubordination becomes more sustained and overt, it inches deeper into the gray zone of counter-democratic activities.

The distinction between deep-state meddling and acceptable protest is difficult to draw in the United States, Ms. Zegart said, because this degree of opposition is so unusual.

Since HR is far from a typical tech company's core competencies, they often don't focus on it and don't realize the damage these employees can do, both by turning off potential hires, and by pissing off employees. You could argue that you would not want to work for anyone dumb enough to let clowns run their HR, and I wouldn't fault you, but you might miss some otherwise good opportunities this way. I have had at least a couple of experiences where HR was not in any way indicative of the quality of the company and colleagues, except for the fact that they were too busy to put much effort into it.

There are many less sinister explanations, and one should generally go for them before resorting to conspiracies:

– The leaker had listened to discussions, but did not see/have the actual transcripts

– Leaking documents carries much stiffer penalties

– Leaking documents feels worse than talking about them in general terms

– Copies are strictly limited and can only be seen in a guarded document room

- Documents may contain hidden markers to identify leakers

Are you saying victims of harassment have some duty to seek out and tell people who are unlikely to believe them or care?
There was a new judgement a few years ago:

http://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2013-04/verfassungsge...

Shooting down an aircraft is legal, but only if the cabinett gives the order. Which is still unrealistic, as the Minister of Defence can't order it alone even in an emergency. The judges recognised that this is suboptimal, but a change would need a change in the constitution. Some former ministers of defence are though on record they would still order it and deal with the legal consequences fallout later.

Then there is the question if the pilot alone (I guess that what the tv movie was about?) could make a decision? For example if the aircraft is flying towards a stadium or nuclear plant and the jet pilot has to make a decision in a split second.

My mum hated it, of course, to always have to relearn new interfaces etc. And yes, one day our perfectly good microwave with just these two dieals was replaced by an abomination: tons of soft-touch buttons, digital clock, what have you. None of us could fathom why anyone would want such a UI/UX for this simple device... and we lobbied hard to get the old one back. Which we did.
It's not necessarily really a blacklist, but when the court case comes up when the employer googles your name... companies like to claim to be pro-equality since they get good press for it, but they're not actually going to put that to any sort of test.

Sex addict is the term that comes to mind.
Interesting that they intercepted after only 15 minutes. Maybe the aircraft had crossed the border without making contact. In the US, airliners accidentally lose contact for close to this time period quite frequently. To reestablish, the controllers will sometimes have a fellow company ship relay a message with the correct frequency via ACARS, or the lost aircraft can listen on 121.5 until someone calls with the correct frequency. I suppose in Europe this would be considered a more critical issue due to the frequent border crossings.

They both yield the same results when your knowledge of the given probabilities is exact

But Frequentists will look at a "top down" view, Bayesians will look "bottom-up", more importantly, as based on Bayes's theorem, they will look at "if a then b" kind of probabilities.

This sounds like a good explanation (the 1st answer) https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/22/bayesian-and-fr... also obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1132/

We don't know enough about your circumstances to advise specifically but here are some of the factors I would consider.

Are you more concerned about short-term income or long-term earning potential? freelance if short-term income is priority.

Where are you at on your competence curve? If you are early the rate of learning and improvement is usually pretty steep. This means investing some time in learning will rapidly improve your skills. Once you are more mature in your core skills the curve usually flattens out and the value of each increment of learning is less.

How good are you with client/customer relations? Marketing and selling yourself? If those areas are currently lacking you should do freelancing as much for the opportunity to learn these people and business skills as for the the opportunity to make money. In the long run good customer service, negotiating and selling are master skills that will greatly enhance your career.
There's an obvious test of whether your claim that, if she's caught lying, she'll become a massive pariah: Ellen Pao, whose claims fell apart in a court of law thanks to evidence she was lying. Look at how the publications like the New York Times and people in this thread treated that case. Here's some quotes from the NYT article about her losing that is linked from this one:

"One of Silicon Valley’s most famous venture capital firms prevailed on Friday over a former partner in a closely watched suit claiming gender discrimination, but hardly got away unscathed."

'"This case sends a powerful signal to Silicon Valley in general and the venture capital industry in particular,” Ms. Rhode said. “Defendants who win in court sometimes lose in the world outside it."'

Neither the fact that her claims were found not to be true in a court of law nor the evidence contradicting them mattered as far as the press or public opinion were concerned. Just the fact that she made them in the first place was sufficient justification for condemning the company she accused and their entire industry.

I had one of these for a while, but came to much prefer the Leatherman Squirt S4, in large part because the blade on the Utili-Key is extremely sharp and ideally placed to slice fingers if the tool is not used with the most exquisite care. Ask me how I know.

The Squirt won't pass security screening, but I've never had trouble with it in checked baggage. The closest I've come to having an issue was when I forgot to take it off my keyring before reporting for jury duty last year; I was of course relieved of it before being permitted to pass the entry checkpoint, but was also able to recover it when I departed, with the thanks of the city and no panel assignment (again, dammit!), at the end of the day.
This is 2017. How bloody hard is it to treat everybody the same and with respect?
After 35 years working as an engineer one of the main things I've learned is that HR is there to protect the company from its employees. Sorry if that sounds cynical but it really is the bottom line. Even still, the fact that HR was unable to step in and even mitigate the destructive behavior (let alone doing the right thing) really speaks to the culture and ineptness of Uber's HR.
