I dunno, after playing EVE for even a month I think you could easily get a job in administration based on that experience alone.
The "smoking gun" here is, I suppose, that the person in question was fired from _another_ project in quite a public fashion for engaging in the very same sort of harassment the OP reported to his supervisors and was rebuffed for.

There really doesn't look like there's much wiggle room here.

Now, that said, I think this is brilliant because this sort of thing happens _all the time_ -- typically, if you report a Higher Value Person(tm) for harassment (no matter what the field) you may as well just be shouting in the wind. You'll get told "oh, you don't want to ruin their life, do you?" or "I've spoken to him, he won't do it again, please won't you take one for the team?" And if you persist, well, you're just disgruntled and unhappy and maybe you should go somewhere else.

Nice to see someone held to account for once!
What is the difference between ack and ag? I use ag a lot, and it seems, on web, whenever ag is mentioned, ack is also somewhere in vicinity (or vice-versa).

These accusations may be true and they may not be. Whether or not they are is something you (and I) are in no position to offer an opinion on. What is unacceptable, however, is to demean someone telling a personal story like this. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.
Sure but now try the same thing with a piece of metal.

No one questions whether the Bernoulli and Venturi effects actually exist. But airplanes are heavy and it's pretty obvious that the Bernoulli effect does not produce sufficient lift by itself.

As proof that most of the lift comes from deflecting air, I offer the fact that airplanes can fly upside down.
EHR is not difficult. There's a lot to the required data model, but building a working system doesn't require mental gymnastics, just time and effort.

Selling isn't particularly challenging either. There is a tried and true model for selling to medical practices and hospitals that works. Customer acquisition is expensive and resource intensive, but it's doable with the right team and right investment for any product.

There is risk, but HIPAA is a lot more of a risk than a logical failure. With every HIPAA violation, there are fingers pointing in every direction, and that means that resources are required to respond to everything - even when it's painfully obvious the software isn't at fault.

I would say that the biggest challenge to creating a market for a new EHR product is that there are generations of people resistant to any real user interface changes. I'm not even talking about adding tabs or checkboxes. If an EHR product logically maps to one of the legacy powerhouses like EPIC, it makes sense to people. If it logically maps to health care instead - No dice. People are entrenched in a system that was designed by engineers for health care because that's all that was available for a generation. They've gone to classes to learn how to work in that environment, they've worked in it for years, and it works for them. A major shift of any sort means retraining doctors, nurses, call center operators... anyone and everyone up and down the food chain. Even in a small practice that's a lot of time and energy to invest. There is resistance every step of the way.
tl;dr DJB was approached with a complaint, and thought it was a situation where he would give advice and his counterparty expected he would maintain his confidence. After he heard about the frustration the complainant was experiencing, asked the person to file a formal complaint, or at least send a self-contained email (explicitly acknowledged as not confidential) that he could use to move forward, in order to not break that confidence.

Seems that's where things broke down. There's another complaint related to Tanja that seems separate (he says that she urged him to not file a complaint immediately), but that's orthogonal to DJB's side of this, I think.

EDIT: It seems, from context, that the complainant wanted the confidence revoked, and everything put on the record (not unreasonable). But DJB doesn't _keep_ records of confidential things -- hence his insistence that they start from the beginning.

EDIT2: I'm trying to summarize "What is DJB's side of this (as communicated in the linked emails)?" not the whole scenario. I don't know anything about this situation directly.

It's true that of late, the police do seem to look the other way when anti-intellectual thugs assault political dissidents (e.g. Murray, Milo). They do obey the orders of the ruling class.

But why would the cops side with a bunch of layabout gamers seeking only to pillage and plunder?
That's pretty disgusting, and the kind of "sneaky" you'd expect from an overly precocious child. Then again, it actually does match the combination of passive aggression and thwarted control-freak that I've come to expect from academia.
I don't think it's a straw man at all. Some people are wonderful at manipulation and organization on the internet. Certain places on 4chan are wonderful when it comes to organizing people.

I'd rather an industry with 0 women than one where mere allegations (let's not pretend there haven't been some rather high profile false allegations) are career ending.

On balance this guy does sound like a creep, but I don't think issue's like this should be tackled in public with people named.

The rape allegations in particular, are a matter for the police and should be prosecuted.
I would love to see that first bulldozer at work. I'm a little amazed because snow becomes incredibly heavy and hard to move/push when it's packed. As the blade moves forward, that dozer will quickly have to use incredible force to move forward.

I experienced this first-hand last summer when I was driving my old Land Rover across the country. I was solo, way up in the very remote Henry Mountains [1] of Utah, about to reach the crest and continue east. I came around the bend and there was a massive drift of snow covering the trail. [2] Foolishly, I thought I might be able to drive through, or at least ram-reverse-ram-reverse-ram my way through. I should have known better. I drove into the drift and my tires sank and the face of my front axle compacted the snow ahead and just stopped. The entire front of the truck was encased. It had been a warm day and was rapidly chilling in the evening light and the wet snow froze around my axle and my truck wouldn't move an inch. I spent the next hour digging out the front of the truck in fading light and by some magic, was able to free myself and back down the precarious cliffside road to a spot where I could turn around. Lesson learned: snow is really heavy.

I have to ask, do you have anything to say regarding the content, or just the style? You seem so passionate about that content, but you never address it, just lament that it was hard done by.

That strikes me as either myopic, or dishonest.
Ah, yes. "No true Scotsman".

Nope, not going to play that.

Edit:

At this stage, enough so-called "Marxist" governments have descended into slavery, starvation, and mass murder that the burden of proof should lie on those who advocate such governments, and that burden should be heavy indeed.

But nope, it's always "but that wasn't REAL Marxism".

After a century of trying, with dozens of attempts, it is quite clear that either those hellhole governments are "real Marxism" or, conversely, that "real Marxism" does not and cannot exist.

Otherwise someone would've gotten it right by now.
The MMO Eve Online partnered with the Human Protein Atlas to embed a protein-mapping minigame in Eve. It was fitted into the game's overarching storyline and gives in-game rewards for participating. A month or two after it was introduced they released some numbers; something like 37 man-years of classification labor had been performed. And because it's in a game with an existing playerbase and provides reward as long as it is played, it is still continuing to yield results (naturally it slowed down after the first peak of interest) in contrast to the tendency (they claim) of most standalone crowdsourced data science projects to struggle to gain traction and dry up fast.

The (current) top thread in the comments section references the reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_vertical_separation_mi...

It appears that there is a section of air between 29,000ft and 41,000ft, where flights are allowed to be closer than is normally allowed. Instead of 2,000ft apart, they are allowed to fly 1,000ft apart. In order to operate continually in this airspace, a plane must be "RVSM approved". Otherwise they have to either request special permission or make a continuous climb through said airspace while complying with their usual 2,000ft requirements.

The article mentions that the A380 and Challenger 604 were 1,000ft apart. So, I would assume they were both RVSM approved. This event could call the RVSM into question.

But I'm a wooly liberal and I agree with that, if you keep the BI high enough to truly replace the need for it. I would rather everyone had a basic, flat rate that had basically 0 bureaucratic expense to dole out. Maybe you could have a pension-like program where if you are over retirement age or can't work you get extra pay, but any more complexity than that is probably not worth the wastage that comes with it.

On the contrary, the emails seem very credible and do not in any way shake my confidence that the entire story is fabricated. The accuser refuses, when asked, to put any accusations into a formal statement, instead relying on making blog posts such as the this. To me that sounds very much like (a) someone deliberately making false accusations and/or (b) someone in need of help for mental illness. I can think of no other reason not to put one's concerns in writing at the first opportunity; can you shed any light on that decision?

Presumably they don't let a 40 feet of snow or whatnot accumulate at once. If they just clear 1-2 feet of snow every night all that involves is having a plow that can throw up the snow high enough to the sides and out of the way, which seems plausible. I say this because I presume clearing 40 feet of snow is rather impossible.

So I've been taking online courses on the side for the last little while, including the author's often recommended, Learning How to Learn. I guess I was spurred on because I felt like I wanted to use my spare time doing something outside of playing games during the winter.

I have to say that watching lectures on Khan Academy, Udacity, or YouTube rekindled my love of learning. Now, I look forward to a block of spare time when I can watch a video and test out my knowledge by practicing on various quizzes from university sources, or by picking up a book with harder examples. And of course, one major advantage is that if I get stuck on a term or concept, I can rewind the lecture, or search on Google for more explanation, or find yet another YouTube video with another take on it. And if I get stuck, I recognize to take one step back and take a refresher on more fundamental concepts.

I think that's why I prefer it over being back in school where the quality and personal connection to the teacher varied so heavily, and the class/course just kept going regardless of your comprehension. We all know those one or two teachers growing up who were so exceptionally bad at teaching a particular subject that it's quite probable some students stopped going in a certain path because of that struggle. Just look up popular math or biology videos, and you'll find students who leave comments like, "Wow you just explained in five minutes what my teacher/prof tried teaching me for x months." I know so many smart people who don't think they could excel in variety of subjects because of bad experiences in school, treating it like a mark of permanence. And it didn't help that some teachers honestly believed if you didn't get it then, well tough luck, you're hopeless.

I still much prefer in-class instructions, largely for the communal experience of learning with others and because the curriculum tends to be more rigorous than online courses. But I find online videos, and write-ups far more effective at teaching me complex things over the average teacher/professor. And one can sometimes make up the difference in difficulty by taking up personal projects or finding difficult quizzes/tests online.
Well, it depends. Some other addictions, while they may consume parts of you, can on balance be more contained (if they don't kill you first). Video games, on the other hand, are sure to eat away inordinate amounts of that which you can never get back: time.

> But DJB doesn't _keep_ records of confidential things -- hence his insistence that they start from the beginning.

I call BS on this, if we're talking about adults at university positions. The reasonable response in that case is: "I do not have any archives. Please resend everything you've got.", not starting from the beginning without communicating that fact clearly. If someone fails to act properly in that position, they shouldn't be overseeing other people.

He should not stop because of a technicality on his side in that situation.

(Edit: reasonable response == absolute minimum here, he could do much more)
But you need constant vigilance to keep the deserialiser secure. In JSON, any change to the deserialiser requires checking for security holes and DoS attacks. With this, you also need to check every method in every class in the set of possible deserialisation targets. If you don't have any methods and it's all just pure data (which would ensure equal security to JSON), then why are you using this instead of JSON. It is _absolutely_ security through lack of functionality. You simply grant less powers to untrusted inputs, as well you should. If you're designing a programming language intended to be written by hostile actors, you would not include primitives for opening files, running applications or spinning infinite loops, since they are all security issues. That's security through restriction of functionality. JSON is trivially secure, this is not. You need to maintain its security.

It's complicated... crude oil is a mix of hydrocarbons with carbon chain lengths between say 5 and 40+, plus various impurities such as sulfur. It is refined into gasoline (~7-12 carbon atoms per molecule), diesel (~12-18) etc, with bunker fuel containing the heaviest fractions. It is possible to crack the heavy fractions into lighter ones, and this is commonly done at most refineries.

However, what to do with the impurities? You can take them out, but then disposal becomes a problem (see image below for example). So, if possible, refiners tend to leave them in the product.
