> You are continuing to let your experience with a single, hostile work environment cloud your openness to something that... isn't even controversial.

I'm flattered that you want to talk about me, but really, I'm not the subject of the discussion here, and it's inappropriate to talk about what's going through my head or to try and psychoanalyze me.

> These are not high cost processes, these are basic, common sense practices we're talking about, that nobody really has any excuse to not have in place.

I've worked at a few different places on this spectrum in my career. Three of them have been fairly open, internally, like the way Google apparently operates. Maybe there are some high-value IP repositories you don't have access to, but you mostly have access to any source code you want to look at without getting access reviewed first. These companies were very open about the risks that this entailed, and openly discussed the fact that leaks were possible. The benefits became rather clear the longer I worked at each place. Whenever a system I worked on interacted with another system, I could follow what the other system was doing and even submit patches to other systems if necessary.

Saying that restrictive security is "common sense" or "not even controversial" is begging the question and argumentum ad populum, respectively. My argument here is that there are benefits to open access to most company IP, and that these benefits are important enough that the decision should be made on a company-by-company basis.

The access controls that would have prevented this particular case from happening would have to be rather draconian indeed. Anthony Levandowski's work was basically the genesis of autonomous vehicles at Google. Google purchased Levandowski's autonomous driving startup, 510 systems, in 2011. I don't know what kind of access controls you'd need to prevent a startup founder from accessing the technology built on top of his company's IP.
Exactly. I would expect the UK's media to use the shadow cabinet to take back the floor.
That explains a spike 1992-1993 and 2004-2005, but how do you explain that it has almost doubled since 2005? It's not really plausible that there has been a legislative change basically every year since then.
Another very happy customer since last year! I even like the UI of the webmail. Very snappy!

It's not the same thing, marine fossils make up many types of aggregate.

Pretty much any aggregate that is dug from places that used to be under water and is made out of sediment and marine rocks is made out of fossils.

If you go to Morocco, Utah, Jordan Valley and 100's of other places around the world you can just spend some time pick up pretty nice looking specimens and go home.
The 100 millionth dinosaur tooth or jawbone really doesn't add any value not to mention the 100 gazillionth coronoid that would otherwise end up in your parkway or your cat's litter box.

Like seriously visit Morocco https://sites.google.com/site/gemwanderings/morocco there and in many other places fossiles are litterarly the natural gravel in the dirt.

Thanks FastMail folks. I still use Gmail primarily (multiple labels per message feature), but I pay for an account so that you're still around when I need you to be.

Of course, they are just protecting the people from lies about the glorious leader, and from counter-revolutionaries trying to disturb with inappropriate questions.
I've just asked a question on what could eliminate harassment, and this could help. If a tool like this monitored Fowler's chat with a manager in the recent case, maybe it could make the fact of toxicity inside the company more evident and helped to collect data on occurances and initiators.
You mean softballs like:

- Golf, what does it do for you?

- How does your golf game hold up next to Tiger’s?

- What has enchanted you the most from serving in this office?

- In this fatherless world, where did you learn to love?

- Are you ready to call yourself the ‘comeback kid’?

- You definitely have some impressive accomplishments….And more than a lot of presidents who manage to get reelected. My question is, is it enough?

- Have you given up on the Republicans?

- I’m wondering if you think that [Republican presidential candidates are] uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?

I get different numbers. First, it was 6,500 CPU core-years comparable to a relatively recent Xeon that uses about 10.5 watts per core. So, 57 million cores, 600 megawatts, and about 11,000 racks (if you can fit 128 * 42 equivalent cores per rack). Wholesale electricity is about $50/MWh, so $30,000 for the CPU part.

The numbers they give for the GPU part are more confusing, and despite the time difference, they say it was the more expensive phase of the attack. However, it appears to involve considerably less physical hardware.

Still pretty impractical for what's probably limited value, but not out of reach.
Probably not, however I am not a lawyer.

The point I was trying to make is that it is in the interest of the company and it's users to make translated versions easily available.
It's possible to start the process with very limited English skills.
Is it better to use two different domains for API and static content then, in order for cookies to be only sent to the API domain/subdomain? That way, if there are requests to the static content that's served by a CDN (ie: Cloudflare), it won't contain sensitive cookie information?
I had to open in another tab as well.
I'm curious if people here that have issues with sitting are also overweight? Also possible issues with dehydration and not getting enough sleep / exercise?
> I've found their web client refreshes faster when inbound mail comes in than Gmail

Yes! One of my favorite FastMail features. Same is true for push notifications. I now get annoyed at the delay on my work accounts (G Suite).
The description seems curious. I'm not sure what the need for that would be? Retro-compat with existing stores/caches (but only in one direction) + mitigation against some collision attacks? hm I don't see the point. If you switch the hash function, I guess in the vast majority of cases you can switch it completely for something that is known to be really better, not a weird hack. Must fit a purpose in some Google software as a better than nothing quick&dirty temporary hack -- and I would not advice doing it in other contexts unless you know for sure you have no other choice.

To expand on this, immigrant visas in most (but not all) categories are actually what is limited; for people that don't get in on a dual intent visa like the H-1B first (i.e., the vast majority of prospective legal immigrants), that means entry is limited on that basis, not the status transition to an LPR from some other legally-present status.

Google's Zero-Shot Multilingual Neural Machine Translation System
If there's one thing I've learned about these types of stories in general, it's that there is no benefit to jumping to conclusions until all the information is in. I was also shocked by the sheer audacity of the behavior described in Susan Fowler's blog post, but the "good" news about her story is that pretty much all of the incidents can be backed up by either an extensive paper trail or numerous other witnesses or victims. All of that data should come out in short order.

The SEC has a policy of splitting fines levied for insider trading (among other things) with informers:

https://www.sec.gov/about/offices/owb/owb-tips.shtml

So, yes, I'd say that people with direct knowledge of actual insider trading have a strong incentive to report it. Quite different from petty crime in a town (or immigration), where nobody is really incentivized to do much about it until it gets really bad.
The complexity of creating a collision for both hashes is pretty much just a sum of the two complexities. Since the sha1 collision is more difficult, that dominates the cost.

Once you have the sha1 collision, making the md5 collide should only take a few seconds of CPU time.
I think it was Verizon, not AT&T. Some peering point in the LA area was overloaded, primarily due to Netflix traffic.

I've lived in Sweden since 2006. The country seems to have changed a lot since then, and especially since around 2014, although they seem to be in denial about it. That's just my personal perception. YMMV.
This is good practice anyway because it avoids the overhead of sending cookies for static content when they're not needed.
I understand your argument about how wireless Internet providers will compete with wired providers which would presumably mean NN becomes irrelevant - but that assumes the wireless providers are in competition with wired providers in the same way truck haulage companies compete with the railroad system.

The problem is: they don't.

There are 4 main wireless providers in the US (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint), the vast majority (if not all) of the other carriers are MVNOs that run on top of the Big 4's infrastructure. The problem is AT&T is also a major wired provider (U-Verse), as is Verizon. Only T-Mobile and Sprint have no horizontal-business interests in wired networks - but incidentally note that T-Mobile and Sprint also have the smallest service coverage areas compared to AT&T and Verizon - in some parts of the country AT&T is your only real option for wireless service, and AT&T has no compunction with simultaneously selling you a $100/mo wireless plan with a low data limit, a $65/mo DirecTV plan, and $70/mo U-verse wired home Internet plan - where they would gladly throttle Netflix to entice you to watch your DirecTV service instead. The invisible-hand-of-the-market cannot solve this problem because of the sheer start-up costs of physical infrastructure needed to set-up a competing wired (or even wireless!) Internet service - and as we've seen with Google Fiber and municipal Internet services the incumbents quickly drop their prices to prevent these newly competing services from becoming established, if not being completely obstructionist as we see with Comcast holding coax poles ransom. This is why we need to classify last-mile Internet access as a regulated public utility, not as a captive market for rent-seeking companies.

So in your example, at least, I don't see how competition from the wireless industry will budge wired services in consumers' interests, but instead corral us all into a much worse position.
Oh my god, it's literally the thesis from Idiocracy.

Which initial response?

My first comment in this thread was responding to a baseless comment about someone's own memory, so I didn't feel the need to put a lot of effort providing sources.

My first reply to billfor was a question asking for clarification on his comment.

I don't see in what way I'm being antagonistic. As to why would they choose to respond, I don't know, but they did choose to, so I don't see why asking for clarification is such a bad thing.
This doesn't really deal with the issues involved in "fake news". What it does is let you know with confidence that you have what someone is asserting - namely, that they say they took this photo at this time and place with that smartphone.

This doesn't touch on all the other ways of influencing the narrative that news organizations have. Editorial discretion is a huge factor. Someone high up in, say, the WSJ, can decide that manufacturing importance for a story is in their best interest, and now we see these facts brought to our attention instead of those ones.
I'm not saying we are not destroying valuable things, but these are not valuable.

If you go to places like morocco they sell the "nice ones" in large baskets on the market or on a side of the road, the ones that would end up in this kickstarted look like the gravel that is just naturally there.

I've worked at 3-4 startups ranging from 4 to 20 people for about 4 years and at a big co for about 3 years now.

Cons of big co:

At my current company (600+ people) it takes ages to get anything done.

Days full of boring meetings where you repeat the same info to the same people.

Company claiming to be agile yet micromanaging and not really being agile.

0 autonomy.

Design by committee.

Mostly boring repetitive work (if you can get anything done from all those meetings.)

Corporate "culture".

Very few leaders, 90% middle-managers.

Pros:

Stable job.
Extra healthcare + more benefits equaling to about 1/6th of your pay.
I'm in my mid thirties, and only play a few games a week. But I manage to stay at around MGE rank, and usually have good experiences.

The best advice I can give you is never solo-queue. Add people to your friends list as soon as you sense that they are a good communicator and are giving a modicum of consideration to the experiences of the other players. Once you've built up 40-50 such people, you should be able to always start a game by joining a lobby, even if it might mean a bit more of a wait.

The thing is that in a group of five people, having even two or three people being on the same page and taking the game seriously will tend to dictate the tone of communication. That alone will give your team a reliable advantage over others, particularly in silver and nova levels, so you should be able to rank up reasonably fast to at least nova 2 or 3 without needing to worry to much about your individual skill.

I don't see anything about next moves in either. The only thing I could get from the first one is that Trump will produce a lot of bullshit. That's not exactly next move, he's doing it for years now. The second one mostly devoted to mocking Trump's first press-conference, still no next moves.

Everyone makes their own priorities. I have many friends with kids that somehow manage to find time to play video games. I don't find the time anymore and I don't have kids so I have no clue how they do it but I see them posting about them all the time. One has 2 kids, and other has 2 kids, one has three kids, another has 2. They guy who has three also manages to play guitar and do photography and raise 3 kids. I don't know how he does it

The ancient Egyptians had a sort of after-life postal system, where you wrote a message and gave it to a priest and they stuffed it into a plaster mold, killed a dog, stuffed that in there, sealed it with plaster and gave it to a runner to take to the current crypt where it was unceremonially tossed onto an enormous pile. Did this many times a day, seven days a week for 500 years. The sites have dozens of buried crypts 8X8X30 or 40 feet, along a corridor, many corridors at a site, many sites across Egypt. During busy times they cut the dogs up into pieces (not enough dogs for the rush times) to satisfy the demand.

There's nothing particularly important or special about the animal mummies that used to be processed into fertilizer. Just enormous piles of plaster, bone and dust in underground chambers, enough chambers to boggle the mind.
I am currently in the process of getting that returns process to work for another ecommerce site (for a brand). We are hoping to move from a manual process where you have some friendly chat with a customer service person to what you get on Amazon, i.e. 'hassle free', everything automated as much as possible.

Believe me, you have it easy compared to the manual process that most smaller ecommerce players labour under. Only if things like returns are automated can you actually scale the business. I have been struggling on Stack Overflow with getting the returns process, it seems to me that not many people get that far, the answers are a bit thin! So a stellare customer service with the returns labels is quite a thing.

Why so hard? Well, if the customer can be from anywhere on the planet and their original order could have been fulfilled by one or more warehouses around the globe, where do you check their return back in to? Once that is decided there is again a choice of couriers, all with different 'API' access to the labels. The end result is probably the same label with different numbers on in 90% of cases, nonetheless some API calls around the globe have to happen to get to the 'obvious' label that you just print out and stick onto the box.

The label also has to be something that can be checked in at the warehouse with some means of updating stock levels if it goes back into stock. Then there is the small matter of issuing a refund - full or partial. Then checking that refund has gone through the following morning, just in case. Then emailing you all is good. Including some custom coupon just for you to tempt you to buy something else.

Then the thing has to be tested. How do you test an order to Namibia gets returned properly? Or Ottowa? Or just normal Germany, where all those labels have to be translated? Or Japan where there are some issues with addresses and non-latin characters. Or Korea? Or plain Ireland, where there are no post codes.

Getting an order to Namibia (for example) is one thing, returning it and getting the original payment returned, all automagically, 'hassle free', well, that is a fine art. From my readings of Stack Overflow few make it to that depth of the ecommerce sales process.

Obviously my code will do the returns label at 'web speed' (instantly, customer in control) whereas the humans had to take up to 150 hours to get back to the customer with a returns label. Invariably they would mess up the credit memo and the stock would go out of the realms of accuracy fairly quickly. Total overhead for a returns is something like 30 mins for the various people needing to faff about with this 'easily' automated stuff.

Now I know what I know I can see how the retailers are on customer service, only if you are doing it 'the Amazon way' are you really able to profit online, selling through them or not.

What's amazing is that honeybees will almost always choose the best option for a new home within an area where options are explored. They do this because scouts individually analyze an option before signaling their approval through a dance. In other words, they don't just take the word of another bee, they confirm and each "voter" is highly-informed. The idea painted in this article I believe is more for helping to resolve deadlocks when there are more than one high-quality choice. There are lessons even we can take away from the democratic process honeybees use to choose a new home.
