> You can still be a citizen of the 21st century world and not be on social media. It does not put you at any disadvantage to not have a twitter account. If you believe that it would, reconsider your priorities in life.

This is analogous to all those arguments that "If you have nothing to hide, you have ", or, "If you want privacy, you always have the option to become a hermit and live completely off the grid with no contact with friends or family" What if I want privacy and to participate in modern society? Why should I have to choose?

It's the same here: Twitter, for all its faults, is very useful. Why should I have to choose between not using it and enduring a bunch of abuse on it, if Twitter can fix that? To protect the "right" of some anonymous shitheads to have victims be forced to listen to their harassment? Please.

You keep replying in this thread but you keep making the same error because you're starting from the axiom that "blocking is bad" and deducing forward from there. I reject that axiom.

> Nothing you can say or do, no policies twitter puts in place, will ever eradicate them. At best it will slow them down. There's always some work around and they have lives sad enough to dedicate to finding these work-arounds.

First of all, this isn't true: plenty of platforms have "good enough" moderation that harassment is either eliminated or at least reduced to a tolerable level. But even if it were true, it would not be a reason for Twitter not to attempt anything. Again, you're starting from entirely the wrong premises here.

10x Genomics | Software Engineer | SF & Pleasanton, CA | Onsite, 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company developing novel software, chemical, and microfluidic systems to allow better understanding of biology and our genomes. We're looking to grow our software team of currently six engineers (including myself) to support the rapid adoption of our technology. We've seen a growing number of high profile publications that use our technology (https://www.10xgenomics.com/publications/).

Recently, we released Loupe Cell Browser, a multi-platform native app that @jeffmellen and I have been working on which allows scientists to visualize and make discoveries in single cell gene expression data (https://support.10xgenomics.com/single-cell/software/visuali...). It was recently demoed at AGBT with our 1.3 million single cell neuron data set! Turns out visualizing 1 million points and allowing for interactions is a non-trivial task.

You can also read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines at https://support.10xgenomics.com/. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux (previously Angular 1), but we're always open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of computational biologists here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious. You'll work with a group of humble engineers that are alums of YC, MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Google, Facebook, and more.

We're currently hiring for several software roles, but specifically for generalists, UI engineers, QA engineers, and infrastructure engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

Simple solution to the danger of filling up on the side of the road: Don't run out of gas.

How many times have you run out of gas where the reason was not "I'll skip this station and hit the next one since I still have 1/8th of a tank"?
> And that's the problem that twitter needs to come to terms with and attempt to resolve, not the end user. I personally don't have faith that it is a solvable problem

So your advice for Twitter is to throw up their hands and close down their business?

I mean, it's easy for those of us outside the company to say "your product is fundamentally unfixable." But if you're inside the company, and the product as-is has giant problems that are keeping potential new users out and driving existing ones away, you have to try something. Your job literally depends on it.

Maybe the things they're trying now will work, maybe they won't. But as long as Twitter has employees and enough cash on hand to pay them, "just tell people to not use Twitter" is not advice anybody there is going to consider useful.
And don't forget the rumble pack on the N64. It cracks me up that Sony still calls their controller the "DualShock", since that was a direct "2 is better than 1!" response to the N64 rumble pack.

On the other hand, Sony's one-upmanship also added the 2nd analog joystick to controllers and that turned out to be incredibly important.
Blogger did not start as Google platform but was acquired by it. Or what was the irony?
Maybe you'll have to show Twitter your state ID with the official potato picture identifying you as a potato.
>Stop normalizing evil. Doing so literally-not-figuratively arms those who would do harm to the people among us who need our support. Show them the door, not their victims.

To be completely fair, they will remove people for blatantly racist/sexist/homophobic tweets, and often do, where "f* white males" talk is completely allowed there.
SEEKING WORK - Toronto + REMOTE (GMT-5).

Tools of the trade: Python/Django, JavaScript (vanilla or with a framework such a React)

I work with clients to provide full stack solutions to their real world problems. I try to use the best tool for the job and deliver cleanly-written applications that are well-documented and should be easy to maintain into the future.

Some of the work I did last year:

Sites get to set the captcha security. There's 3 tiers. The highest one will always bug the user, the lower one will almost never do it (unless it's a specific flagged IP). Default is somewhere in the middle, but I'm guessing that site has it set to the highest.

The person you're replying to has a different issue. The way the one button captcha works is by using your cookies to try to figure out if you're a real human user or a robot. If you clear your cookies, you'll almost always get the captcha.
What success rate have you seen? Google intentionally fuzzes parts of the audio and tries to induce false positives.

Also, does google offer an audio captcha every single time? Even for very high risk profiles?
Tenfold Traffic | Search Engine Marketer| Denver | http://www.tenfoldtraffic.com - http://www.davidmelamed.com

Tenfold Traffic is a rapidly growing Digital Marketing Consultancy looking to scale into a full blown agency.

The business is currently a One person consultancy, leaning on 3 contractors to help service the accounts. We focus on Search, Native & Paid Social and offer some SEO and ABM.
I am looking to make my first full-time hire and bring most of the outsourced work in-house.

The role requires a strong handle on SEM and Google Shopping best practices, with clarity about how to think about account structures and a unquenchable thirst for knowledge, experimentation and pushing the limits.

Initially, the role will require account management, client communication, report creation and account build outs, restructures and optimization.

I need someone very well rounded for this initial hire, but hope to build a team around and under them, so the role will become more defined and focused over time.

I need someone who excels at asking the right questions of clients to help develop a truly unique strategy for them.

Our main differentiator is deep targeting strategy. We consistently hear from our clients that they never heard ideas like ours from the other agencies they speak to. This is core to our offering. A deeper, more meaningful understanding of the clients, their goals, and their internal decision making processes and mapping that to the channels we are using to deliver a strategy that truly moves the specific needle that needs moving.

Must haves:

• A clear understanding of all the available levers within Adwords and AdCenter.

• Clear understanding of Google Shopping strategy, ideally with experience segmenting campaigns by search query intent.

• Semi-Technical - Know enough to troubleshoot tracking problems, manipulate an XML data feed, tweak css, tweak adwords scripts (javascript, etc... The more technical the better, but a bare minimum of being able to google an issue and troubleshoot it on your own if necessary.

• Experience with Excel - Specifically, Index Match, Pivot Tables, Vlookups, etc... A HUGE plus is someone with VBA experience,and using tools like Supermetrics in Excel.

• Some knowledge of statistics is important.

• Experience using Google Analytics, setting up custom reports, and building many different audience segments for retargeting.

• Experience using Unbounce is important.

• The ability to tell a compelling story from data.

• Strong communication skills.

This isn't true. The N64 had more graphical power than the PSX, and the Gamecube had more power than the PS2.
Why not get a modern (Haswell or later) Intel CPU and a motherboard with DisplayPort output? You don't need a discrete GPU unless you're MLing or gaming, and you can splurge a bit and get something with DDR4 and/or NVMe. Having faster IO is the best way to make "productivity" software like spreadsheets and editors faster.

For Christmas I got a new CPU/motherboard combo with a Samsung 960 EVO SSD, and it's ludicrously fast, decently cheap, and a noticeable improvement over my old (heh) SATA SSD.

This is bullshit. I spoke about it with Edgar Leitan, who is native Latvian speaker, born in Rezekne, and is Professor of linguistics specializing in oriental languages, in Vienna University. Ask him yourself. http://edgar-leitan.livejournal.com

Latvian as a language never lived better under the USSR, because Russian revolution performance was much ensured by Latvian soldiers hired by Lenin, and that was never forgotten. Among the highest Soviet officials there always been Latvians. Boris Pugo being the last.

Learn your own history from professionals, not from tabloids full of hate speech.

UPD: By the way, its Latgalian that is PTE. Latvian is simplified Latgalian. It may look as a bit of exagerration, but truth is worth discovery.
Noticed a factual error: You say that Vue.js "demand[s] the latest javascript spec for development and all its advantages." -- this is not true, all vue.js demands is ES5.1 (IE9+). It can take advantage of ES6 and modern tooling, but it doesn't require or demand it (you can just plop a script tag onto a page and be off to the races without any kind of compilation).
> Citadel recently got rid of Keven Turner, Microsoft's ex-COO, from the CEO position at Citadel Securities.

It makes you wonder what The Goverment's agenda is, does it not? I mean, either you base you actions on science or you base it on something other than science. It's a shame politics so often lead to uninformed decisions. To me, these days, politics seems like a grown-up version of the high-school game you used to play when you wanted to become popular. But of course, the real issue here money. Everyone wants it. Need it. Live for it.

I call shenanigans on society.
No engine is guaranteed to be maintained, not even the UE/Unity. Look at CryEngine, once a big, popular engine. Now with all the CryTek's problems, I would not bet it won't get dumped.
This is not an issue at all anymore. Fibre coverage is very good, and almost all ISPs offer an unlimited plan. I pay $130NZD a month for unlimited 1gbps down / .5gbps up.
Agreed. It'd be quite difficult to measure whether or not someone learns something new, anyway, because of the variety of things available to learn (large and small). If we're talking about learning entirely new skills, though, yea, obviously a cashier will probably not need to learn any significant new skills over the course of their career.

As always, people who do make learning new things a part of their life's rituals will generally be more successful than those who do not.

Nice username, by the way.
I've tried using spark but unfortunately video calls don't seem to work at all when I'm on my corporate VPN (which is Cisco, btw). I really want to use it because it otherwise works on Linux (compared to webex...) but I need to be able to use it on the VPN.
Well, then Nintendo really learned the wrong lesson from the Gamecube versus the PS2, because the lesson should have been "people want to be able to play DVDs on something that costs that much and hooks up to your TV, and they don't like switching discs to play a game."
State of Dev as the author saw fit. No one can come up with State of Dev that will accommodate everything ,not even the ThoughtWorks tech radar.

Maybe we have drastically different use cases, but dynamic and weak typing are a disaster in the data space. Not sure why people build production systems in such languages.

If it matters anywhere it matters in the data space. We don't see the disconnect between decimal and int, but when you're expecting a character and you get varchar, (not sure about the apostrophe case, but I suspect your talking about quotes and embedded commas) and the number of fields or composition of fields changes (e.g. col1:sttring "jack, dorsey" col2:int 156 and the parser sees col1:string "jack" col2: "dorsey, 156" you want to know that is broken ASAP.
We're giving away a full conference pass to DockerCon 2017 in Austin
When a tool insist on you cast char fields to varchars before you can test two fields for equality, or keeps changing all your decimals to floats, how is that helping? I'm saying that if the underlying language was loosely typed, those kind of productitvy saps & bug fountains would not happen. In the few instance where you cared about type, a loosely typed language can usually offer something.

Last time I checked, enterprise ETL tools were sold as capable of a lot more than simple OLAP to OLTP. I find the reality provided is somewhat underwhelming. Given that facebook can tell the difference between a photo of Dave and one of Jim, why do I have to manually provide a mask for every single date field flowing through an enterprise?

That's interesting.

I would bet rollercoasters could be as or more effective as tylenol for milder pain too, at least while you're distracted and pumped full of endorphins.
I never said I was a doctrinaire libertarian and I think it's fine for the government to spend on things which pass a stringent cost-benefit test, which genetic engineering would be able to considering the many positive externalities; and I know Headstart doesn't work, but if it did.

"I think your solution cannot happen because those with money and tech, and who don't have a cultural squeamishness with the idea, will get the genetic engineering first. The ultrarich."

In some scenarios, not in others. With embryo selection, the gain is small enough that it will not create new elite classes with high solidarity, and in iterated/synthesis scenarios, an elite could try but the core technologies are widespread now and the end result gametes are easily stolen and replicated (imagine trying to do nuclear arms control if every single atomic bomb was walking around, having kids, and regularly shed skin cells which could be turned into new atomic bombs).

That said, this is of course good reason to oppose regulation, as regulatory capture is common and we already see a lot of self-serving hypocritical behavior by elites.
I don't care if by some fluke my job gets out sourced and it would be a fluke if they could find someone working remotely with my architectural and soft skills.

My financial stability doesn't come from my job, it comes from my skill set and my network that allows me to relatively quickly get another job. I work hard to keep my skill set from being easily commoditizable.
