This is exactly what my company went through just a few months ago when we hired an IT security guy whose first order of business was setting up a Palo Alto Networks firewall. Before turning on the MITM functionality he gave a presentation to everyone about what it did, and nobody (support staff, developers, administrators, management...nobody) seemed to mind except for me.

This was what I sent to the HR lead immediately after the meeting:

I remember a while back we all signed some document regarding data security here. I don't remember what that document said specifically -- did it mention at all the possibility that all of our network traffic could be monitored? I ask because, while [new security guy] claims that with the new firewall "No data is stored or made available for other purposes," the fact is that it absolutely can be viewed and stored, and we as the end users have no way to verify whether it is or not. On Palo Alto Network's own website there are comments from other users of our firewall asking how to disable packet inspection in the logs because, "I can also see users passwords in some cases".

I understand and agree with the necessity of setting up a firewall that can inspect encrypted traffic. However, I also understand that this means everything we do or send on the office internet can be inspected by presumably anyone with access to the firewall's back end (including personal passwords and anything usually thought of as "secure"). I'm not sure how clear this is to some (or most) of the employees here. If the agreements that we signed don't reflect this, I think they should be updated and re-agreed to.

[some back and forth ensued, where she reminded me of a line in the agreement that does say we can be monitored at any time]

That may be fine then. All I know is that I heard some concern over being able to go to facebook and whatnot, which seemed to be relieved when we were told it would still work. I just don't know whether or not people realize that while they can still go to facebook, theoretically anything they say or do on it, including all of their login information, chats, and posts marked to be shown only to friends can (though not necessarily will) be viewed by the company as well.

I could be making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be, I just tend to take online privacy matters pretty seriously. Assurances that the data will be treated responsibly (not viewed or cached) are all well and good, but at least for me, aren't good enough. I won't be going to any personal websites on the network here at all.
I wonder if there is a similar guide for Scilab.

For me the lesson here is "use unambigious language"
rather than "{always|never} use an Oxford comma".

The 29-page decision shows that the "Oxford comma" is only part
of the court's interpretation of the law, and shows that
the court examined several paths to reach an interpretation.

Erm, let's say I saw it recently.
I get your point, but with a kiosk they could dynamically give special deals, like "add fries for $0.18" if it is profitable for them at that moment (maybe they are about to toss the batch of fries). Honestly I wouldn't consider McD's cashiers to be good salesmen.
I feel like star ratings, if just given in general, are pretty useless for anything that has multiple qualities. For example, maybe I like the cinematography of a movie but I think the acting is shit, or maybe I think the taste of the beer is nice but it's too acidic or sour and wouldn't work with specific foods because it's overpowering.

Airbnb does this pretty much spot on, in that they ask for 1-5 stars for five categories, rather than just "did you enjoy this Airbnb?" I also think that Untappd does this wrong, because in general beers can't be described in just a 1-5 star rating without deeper explanation.

I think that moving from a pure star rating to a thumbs up and down rating is better overall, if only because it makes me, as a watcher, not have to think as much and therefore give a rating where I might not have before. If I want to go more in depth, I can explain more too.

I like McDonalds and have been to quite a few. I have never, ever been asked if I want fries with that or otherwise upsold. Not sure where this meme comes from.
>Do they mean that same capitalism that brings >1,000,000 Chinese people out poverty every month?

The idea that by pointing to some successes, it justifies the whole system of appropriating labour for profit is utterly falacious and false. I hope you can see that it's not sound reasoning.

A system can have merits; Marx was very clear that Capitalism has various merits, especially over its predecessors. His idea was that there is a further reachable goal. You have made no effort to dismiss this other than by saying "what we have now is pretty ok".

>Try talking to someone who lived through one of them.

Why would their experience be relevant to reformulations in theory? To be clear, I'm not advocating for Soviet-style Communism.

That assumes that the person has opportunities they're giving up. If they don't have them, or can't see that they have them, it's not nearly so expensive to them.

(Belief that you have opportunities, and motivation to take them, is very valuable. You can't just tell people this though, humans don't work like that)
It's market driven. There is no formula.

Special categories would also be nice. "Would probably be funny if I was high". "Don't watch when high - will freak you the hell out".
I really like what they've done with progression here. You still kind of get the standard RPG linear progression with armor upgrades, but it's the preparation aspect of the gameplay loop that really shines for me.

ex.: You get to a new region, something in the environment prevents you from exploring easily (for instance, cold). You can either tough it out and spend a lot of time/resources, or return later once you've acquired some meals/weapons that help you deal with the situation. I see this system as a really clever alternative to classic logarithmic power creep curves.
Yep, I can still feel myself 15 years ago in my old loft apartment sitting in front of a CRT TV with my brand new Gamecube with the boat out on the water and the zelda dawn theme playing as the sun rises. The game has really stood the test of time, I really enjoyed playing the HD re-issue on the Wii U too.
There is another solution for having citations and references in figures: use Inkscape as suggested in the OP. In particular the save to pdf+latex feature. Any text elements in the figure are generated using latex. This means the correct font and the ability to write any latex you want as text. I still like hand editing figures to add complex annotations so I like being able to use Inkscape's GUI.
To be clear, that crash in Queens was 100% pilot error (and the plane allowing insane inputs). There was a little turbulence, but it was the extreme rudder movement that threw the plane around and tore off the tail.
Why? Marxism refers to the work of Marx and Engels, who are forefathers of the criticism of capitalism (along with other 18th century anarchists and socialists). I see no reason to get rid of the term or use other terms; I base my reasoning of Marx's work and Engels's formulations and I'll be sure to give the great men their credit.
Holy hell, totally forgot about that one. Thanks!
I watched until the T-1000 showed up. Can't see him as an organic lifeform. But in all seriousness it's a huge UI improvement that they give you a few weeks heads up now. I've narrowly missed the ending to some damn good shows and all I needed was a few days to get to a spot with some closure. I get that the rights aren't entirely in their control, so at least it's something.
The entire back-half feels like an unfinished rush job.

The music is cool and the setting is refreshing. The FLOOD gimmick is fine; it's nice to have some variance in Mario's move-pool. The weird tone can actually be endearing.

But it's not enough to make up for the in-intuitive level design and wild difficulty swings. A Mario game is expected to be one thing above all else "Fun Running And Jumping Puzzles" and Sunshine simply doesn't deliver.

The 5-star rating system is archaic. It's just natural human psychology to rate things they really like or really hate, thus a ton of 5 or 1 star ratings.

I'd like to see it replaced with the tri-state, 2-star system:
2 - loved it, 1 - meh, 0 - hated it
(Replying again because it's too late to edit).

If you want some numbers to back up the intuitive argument I made in the other comment, take a look at this article by Branko Milanovic[0]. It shows in explicit detail where all this resentment is coming from. Juxtapose this chart against your suggestion (as presumably a member of the 95th percentile) that these global upper-middle-class people (between 78th and 90th percentiles) be reduced to the level of Indian domestic servants and you get a good sense that might hate the idea.

> Air does not behave like a bunch of bullets hitting a wing

Yes it does. And those bullet impacts are the very definition of pressure.

The aerodynamics snobbery that you're trying to invoke is that those bullets also hit each other, so you can't make ideal gas assumptions and must model the whole system as a giant system of differential equations (c.f Bernoulli) if you want numbers out.

That doesn't change the fact that air pressure at the surface of the body is what causes the force on the body. That busybodies feel the need to argue against this bleedingly obvious point says some very bad things about the way the aviation community has tried to teach aerodynamics.

>Users would rate documentaries with 5 stars, and silly movies with just 3 stars, but still watch silly movies more often than those high-rated documentaries

That's not incongruous to me. The stars are not about "enjoyment" factor, they are about perceived quality. I may have a go to cheap ice-cream and rate it 3-stars but rate a good affogato 5-stars and only have it once in a while.

They are diluting the meaning of quality and instead are opting for a saccharine "enjoyment" factor.

This binary choice does not sit well with me and I hope they abandon the idea soon.
Interesting. Was this data loss of CrashPlan announced publicly? Did it affect more users?

It's concerning to hear, since I know people using it for backups.
The way I read it, the intended meaning is as if the comma was right after shipment. A list like that requires a conjunction before the last element. "Or" serves that function. If "or" was merely internal to the final item, it would be grammatically incorrect.

Here is the full context, with the only grammatically correct place to put the comma:

The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment[,] or distribution of:

(1) Agricultural produce;

(2) Meat and fish products; and

(3) Perishable foods.

But there is no market risk, because the project says so.
At my last McDo visit, in Switzerland, most of the ordering was through kiosks and the staff was repurposed toward table service. The restaurant was especially clean and friendly, and there seemed to be a lot of staff. So there is hope for complementarity.
This is an excellent project, thank you so much.

Is it possible to parse and edit embeds put into the articles via custom widgets? I see in the example how to add a widget to add something to my page. But I don't see how to parse markdown to present an editing to an 'old' widget. I also see that images are non-editable (both image file and alt) once placed into the article.

Is this is a hard limitation or rather widgets are half-baked?
This is less black and white than you are making it out to be. Taken to the extreme you praise the millionare who is up to his eyeballs in debt and living under a bridge because all of his money is tied up in investments and he's going to die with the biggest fortune possible.

Having tons of money is pointless if you don't eventually spend it on improving your life or the world around you. Obviously blowing all of your cash on frivolity is also bad, but you need to strike a balance or you will end up being Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserable old rich guy with nothing to show for his life but big numbers on a piece of paper somewhere.
Wouldn't that be what a thumbs up/down would be? Thumbs up - loved it, thumbs down - hated it, don't click the thumb - meh.

Give an example that doesn't use parentheses or a bulleted list.

It seems clear to me that if you are listing multiple items in a sentence, a comma should separate every item in the list.

Alternatively, we could use the semi-colon for lists. This is what I do sometimes at work, especially when the items in the list may contain commas.
Larger airplanes are also much more capable (better instruments, things like anti-icing systems, ability to fly above weather), far better maintained on average, fly into better airports, have better flight planning resources, and more.

Note that when looking at airline safety, you'll get misleading numbers if you go back too far. Safety has improved remarkably in the past couple of decades. In the 80s and 90s, a couple hundred fatalities per year was about typical in the US. In the last decade, the typical number is zero. There hasn't been a fatal crash involving an American airliner for over eight years, and you have to go all the way back to 2001 (November, not September) to find one involving a major American airline. Even if you include foreign airlines operating in the US, that only adds one fatal crash and three deaths to the recent total.

But as soon as they double the size of the machine there is no reason for them to not have an instance type that is the size of the machine minus the host layer.
If we become reliant on robots to survive, it would be relatively easy for those robots to kill us off very quickly if they somehow decided to do so. Why would they choose a slow way instead? You call it a "rounding error", but it's still a measurable amount of time and resources wasted.

I can imagine such a scenario occurring by accident (e.g. because the AI only values individual humans' happiness, not continuation of the species), but I can't imagine an AI choosing to kill us off in such an inefficient way.
"normal Zelda's" being the other 3D ones?

Breath of the Wild has far more in common with the original Legend of Zelda than with the more recent games.

Some may consider that this game approaches the difficulty of the NES/SNES Zelda titles a return to form. Though, I suppose that those are not really 'Normal' Zelda games anymore.
There's a markdown-it plugin that implements container blocks as described:

Not an official part of the spec, but certainly something this CMS could support since you'd just parse the markdown it saves with whatever parser you choose with your static generator.
Well if we're gonna be pedantic let's not forget the vocative comma:

Unfortunately, that PR has another name: Propaganda.

Progressives in particular are sensitive to the idea of the government messaging them and tend to worry about the perception. Meanwhile, private interests have no compunction against advertising heavily and constantly to get their message across. It's a huge advantage for industrial incumbents over the government.

Hmmm... I vote for writing English in direct AST syntax to avoid these ambiguities.
I agree, this is different from the classic Oxford comma ambiguities and I'm surprised more people aren't pointing this out.

That being said, omitting the conjunction is a thing that people actually do (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asyndeton), not just a grammatical error. Were I making legal arguments on this case, I would research whether this kind of asyndeton was a common construction in Maine state law.

So, if I want to run an daily analysis of every record in your system, does that processing happen on your system, or do you somehow replicate the data to me?

I guess my point is... it's likely that you may want a "single source of truth" for the data, but farm out copies for other applications. And once you do that, you probably want some kind of "replication protocol" that sends updates, rather than making a full copy of the data every day.

And once you've done that, aren't you right back where we are today?
also, how do you get to your gate?
Curious about this as well. Otherwise, it's like a car salesman saying you shouldn't buy a bike, rather, understand mpg before buying a car.
You touch on a good point, but this isn't about a good sentence. This is about a law. Laws aren't meant to be good sentences. They are meant to be clear and exacting regardless of style. They must also be consistant with other laws, most all of which were written long ago by very different hands. Exacting and consistant punctuation matters far more than recent development in the use of commas. If adding one makes a law more clear, you add it regardless of modern trends.

I don't enjoy the default Skyrim game all that much. However, the Requiem mod which gives it more of an old school feel allows for more emergent stories. Because it's not on rails and combat is intense you will spend 15 minutes running away from something and not always make it to safety.
