You don't need facial recognition for that, just passport data and passenger manifests. People who didn't break the law aren't going to be evading detection when they buy an airline ticket out of the country.

From my comment. Again, I specifically addressed this. Did you read my comment?
>>I really don't think misogyny or harassment is connected to nerdy-ness or introversion/extroversion, in either direction.

When was the last time you witnessed an introverted/nerdy person proposition a coworker, or even a female friend, for sex? Or even a date?

Introverts by definition aren't socially aggressive. They also tend to not hang out with socially aggressive people, from whom they could learn such attitudes.

They've already had Dragon flights where they've said "if there were humans aboard, they'd have been just fine", i.e. the Dragon's life-support capabilities have been tested.

You don't have to have flown humans to test whether you can fly humans, you know you were able to maintain a breathable atmosphere, and you know you have enough fuel to launch a few hundred kilos of meatbags, food & water.
I was in the same camp as you until the results from the Bullet Cluster were published (https://arstechnica.com/science/2006/08/5058/). Essentially, for the first time astronomers were able to observe the separation of visible and dark matter. In other words, there was evidence for a gravitational force where no visible matter existed.

That said, I think you're wrong about alternate hypotheses being quickly dismissed. Alternatives are regularly proposed and evaluated. Many are eventually found to be lacking in the face of the evidence collected, but some remain viable candidates (for example: https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/new-ideas-on-gravity...).

Perhaps trend was the wrong word. I simply meant that for all the female employees and coworkers I've had over the last few years, almost all of them have confided a story such as this to me when we discuss women in tech.

Now, maybe that's part of life. I'm sure most of the males I've worked with have a story about being bullied or getting into a horrible fight with a coworker at least once, and perhaps by putting women experiencing these things into a certain category we're also part of the problem..

>There are clearly cases in which attempting to stand up to abusive behaviour has the potential to cause more problems (at the very least in the short term) than by staying silent

You seem to be confusing "standing up to abuse" and "indicating that behavior is abusive." The second is very risk-free and what I demand from anyone who wants to call themselves a victim.

Again, it doesnt have to be verbal. But if youre making a special effort to hide it, I dont sympathize.

In other words, if your "abuser" is reasonably unaware, for whatever reason, that you view their behavior as abusive, then you lose victim status.

I want to go further with this. Just because youre uncomfortable, doesnt mean its unreasonable discomfort. Youre getting paid to WORK, which is by its nature uncomfortable. Often times "stop being a whiney bitch" is accurate (although obviously usually inappropriate.)

Just as the choice to put AD before or after is a style issue, the choice to use AD or CE is essentially a style issue since the two systems are numerically equivalent. They probably feel that more of their readers prefer or understand AD than CE.

I don't know why you're getting down-voated. In American culture, people feel trapped. I wrote about this a few years back: http://khanism.org/perspective/trapped-in-the-cubical/

And I also wrote about the dangers of job loyalty a few years later: http://khanism.org/society/loyalty/

It's like the Milgram experiments: people often don't realize they have options. They don't want to be one of those people who "keep switching jobs." My longest job on my CV is 2.5 years. Most are only 1 year. I worried a bit about job loyalty until I realized no one even read the dates on my resume. Average turnaround in our industry is 13 months.

You can get a new job. If you're afraid of jumping too much, don't have more than three a year. Surely 1/3 of those is going to be tolerable/not-horrible enough to get a nice 13 months on your CV. If you're in IT as a dev, admin or some kind of engineer, there is a ton of interesting work. I agree with you totally. There is no reason to stay in a shit job. There is plenty of interesting and challenging work in good places for both men and women in our industry.

I didn't say they shouldn't use it - I'm saying pro-Medicare shouldn't be part of their political dialogue if they're opposed to Obamacare on different principles. I've heard a lot of folks who think Medicare should expand argue against Obamacare on the premise that anything but a free market is morally wrong in that case. It's just a case of "this thing that benefits you is morally wrong, but this virtually identical thing that benefits me should grow because it benefits me". By all means use it if you qualify and paid your taxes, but don't be a hypocrite when it comes time to campaign or vote.
It definitely works, and you might argue that when it comes to forwarding humanity, then what of a few exhausted engineers! But in other contexts perhaps not an elegant methodology.

True as long as you intend to fly your rocket within the troposphere, the lower ~10 miles of the atmosphere. Above that, water vapor seems to stick around a long time and is currently understood to be quite harmful[1]. This is also an issue with high-flying planes (not that flying low is better, due to the decreased efficiency). However, more research is needed[2].

I wonder who the people going on this trip are. Are they billionaires, a rich couple planning a honeymoon. You'd have to be rich to do this right? I also wonder which kind of insurance both Spacex and the individuals have for this.

It's amazing that private companies are now doing things that were previously only one by governments and nations.

I don't know how this will work out but congratulations to Musk, Spacex and NASA.
> At review time, get all of the group in a room, including the manager, and vote on who should leave. Because in a toxic environment, people are discussing that privately anyway, so let's be open and transparent.

This a genius idea. That way you push the liability of discrimination from the company to the employees at an individual level. It's like mob rule but for companies.

> The person voted isn't necessarily made to leave. It's an opportunity for them to focus on improving themselves personally, possibly in a program.

I can't begin to imagine how awkward it would be to be voted off the island and stick around anyway.
Taking a high-paying job, hiring your already well-paid ex-colleagues, and working on toys for the upper-middle class wouldn't strike most people as 'giving back to the less fortunate'.
That's a completely different matter, I just meant to say that Elon Musk's estimates are often extremely optimistic.

You know (if you're a developer) when you're working on a very exciting piece of code that will do wonderful stuff, and you have clear in your head what you're doing and how to do it, and think "it'll take me an hour, can't wait to see it working" and then at 4 AM you're still there, always in the same state of mind, with half of your brain asleep and the other half still perfectly focused on the result? Yep, I think that's Elon Musk. Still in the splendour of his early twenties :)
Thanks.

If we assume that you can actually scare the parents into paying a ransom, in the end the impact is... a lot of stress + financial loss. And this assumes that the parents can't get in contact with the kid, the police can't get in contact with the kid and the scammers have enough savvy to accept untraceable money. All of which points to this being more of a movie plot than something that will happen in reality.

And even if this were a credible threat, logically we should be more concerned about direct financial theft since it has the same impact, but is far less elaborate (but still far less common than other types of cybercrime).
Yes, the investigator's _reputation_ is put at stake. But, reputation in the eyes of whom?

They link to the text of the bill in the article, and that "participating in a demonstration that ends up becoming violent" isn't supported by that text. The law is addressing participation in a conspiracy.
Most shark attacks turn out to be attacks of people surfing, boogie-boarding, or otherwise making themselves look like seals or similar mammal from the shark's perspective.

I sort of want to engage with this. I understand that people have good-faith qualms about the fairness of hiring practices intended (implicitly or explicitly) to increase diversity and access. There are problems to wrestle with here, and it's inevitable that some bad actors will take advantage of attitudes like Pike's (or mine).

And yet: I don't have the sense that I'm going to get anywhere by acknowledging the problematics of the thing. There's just too much committed misogyny embedded in this community as a whole.

I just searched zotero in the App Store and got nothing, so because every morning I save stuff from Feedly into Pocket and I have no idea how I'd do that with zotero.
I do agree that lots of IoT products have terrible security, but is having insecure bluetooth or the likes really a terrible thing for most of these types of products?

I understand that this leak is related to mongodb... and that is terrible, but mostly referring to your bluetooth example.

I mean take bluetooth headphones they are notoriously insecure, but the range in which eavesdropping could take place is pretty small, and for most of us you would just be eavesdropping on our annoying music. Seems reasonable that they save bandwidth on secure transmission of data for higher audio quality. That said I could see an argument the other way, but I'm sure there are more examples where it doesn't seem like a big deal. It would be interesting to hear from someone who thinks I'm dead wrong.

I have been working in HRTech for ~8+ years. "Most" of the tech companies operate that way - regardless if they are explicit about it or not. 9-Blocks, 360 degrees, etc are all exercises that have to fit a pre-defined distribution - i.e. "we expect at least 20% of the employees to be low performer". All the exercises of "team and department calibrations" are about to make sure the distribution fits the pre-defined/expected shape. Then some companies "act" on their low performers (stack ranking + policy of getting rid of the bottom 10% every year), some companies use perfomance-plans/other to "talent manage"
That's really stretching the definition of private company considering NASA is the major provider of both funding and infrastructure.
I'm less worried about this mission, and more than it's going to give people an (increasingly) false confidence that we're ready for Mars.
Watch this three minute video or view the concise notes below it for some very nice tips on handling buffers.

http://vimcasts.org/episodes/working-with-buffers/

> You can quickly jump between the active buffer and the alternate buffer using the command <CTRL-^>. Pressing it again takes you back to where you were before.

If you don't like the <CTRL-^> command for this, you could map it to something else, such as the tab key, with a line in your .vimrc:

nnoremap <TAB> <C-^>

----

> There's no single de-facto manager that's used by 90% of all vimmers.

Most recently updated plugins work with each of the managers. I use a handful of plugins with Pathogen, but the same plugins could be used with another manager.

However, the latest release of Vim now includes a built in plugin system, does that satisfy your need to have one blessed version?

https://shapeshed.com/vim-packages/

----

> 20 different buffer navigations

Keep in mind, all these commands can be shortened to the smallest unique prefix. So with `:bn` and `:bp` you can go forward and backward. But if you don't like typing three characters, just sacrifice something else by remapping it in your .vimrc!

> toggling between two open files, a pretty common use case

When I am working on two files at once, I'll usually put them both up at the same time. If I have "a.txt" open and I also want to work on "b.txt" I can type `:vsp b.txt" and now I have them up side-by-side. I can switch between them with whatever command I have set up to do that.
1,2. Why is racism considered a fireable offense, but sexism they should get a warning first? Either give them a warning on both or fire on both.

3. I think many would argue that we shouldn't have to live in a world where long days with no breaks is the accepted standard. I've worked that way, 10 hour days, 6-7 days a week, it's not sustainable and leads to burnout, poor quality work, and grumpy employees.
Racism isn't limited to locals. Foreign born people can be just as racist as everyone else. For example, it's suprisingly common to hear immigrants complain that there is too much immigration now.
Committing suicide over something like this seems a bit extreme. Don't want to trivialize her suffering, or the gravity of what happened, but infantilizing people also doesn't help in making them stronger.

Of course it's not up to me to decide when committing suicide makes sense (does it ever?), but this is the issue I see with the word "survivor": it seems to want to portray what happened in terms of a life threatening situation. As far as I can tell, it wasn't.

Now, back to the main issue, i.e. sexual harassment at Uber.
sorry, but those people are just not on the same level.
But the moon isn't at a fixed distance. It's possible that one of the other cislunar or landing Apollo missions was more distant, geocentrically, even with their standard 69-mile lunar orbital heights.
I wonder if there's an altitude you could do a "landing" at that would be thin enough atmosphere and weak enough gravity to get close to Martian conditions.

Energy usage is not the only consideration, and it certainly does matter what it exhausts. Exhausting an inert gas is definitely preferable to a greenhouse gas, which would be preferable to exhausting anthrax, etc.

The composition of the exhaust is going to affect the positivity of the public reaction to a billionaire burning it into public air space for leisure.

There's a long history of precisely such individuals doing precisely this sort of thing.

Perhaps an uninformed question, but what is this doing in a journal for biologists?
Even the ones that don't operate that way seem to be filled with people who are convinced that it's all a zero-sum game... leading to the same essential result. The problem mainly seems to be that far from making any attempt to limit or corral that kind of behavior (and far worse) Uber either tacitly encouraged it, or almost psychotically ignored it.
