Ah, the "never fire anyone" approach. You can train all low performers into being excellent employees!

That is far more detached from reality than stack ranking is, and far more destructive than stack ranking is to a large organization.

Stack ranking is exactly intended to deal with the fact that hiring a spotty, error-prone process. It says, "No, you can't only hire high performers, whether by having brilliant hiring processes or by training low performers. What you need to do is fire the low performers and roll the dice again. Because eventually the dice will roll high."
???

On what devices? Home routers, probably. Things with an extensible stack based on bsd or linux, no, they have very good firewalls. Better I would say, since you don't have to deal with NAT crap.
"...folks gotta work on something" is exactly the attitude that unicorns with too much VC money take and end up tanking.
The Smalltalk-80 VM is certainly interesting but as far as I know it wasn't allowing users to run untrusted, possibly malicious code. Taking security seriously came later.

Java was a pioneer with shipping untrusted code to users in a sandbox, but it turns out its sandbox wasn't secure, and there were other UI issues as well. (Similarly with Flash, though that was more of a mobile performance issue.)

To be fair, the early web had a lot of security problems. What we have now is what's left after a lot of hardening. And we still have a lot of security issues.

But anyway, if you use JavaScript this isn't really your problem. Browsers take care of sandboxing and deployment for you. Nothing wrong with building on the hard work of others.

Can you elaborate on this question further? It may be more interesting if you can give more details.

What does 'efficient' mean to you? Why is $500+ considered the 'highest possible price tag'?

What are you really trying to get at?

Of course, the 'most efficient' way to sell something for $501 is to sell something worth $502. If efficiency is meant as something you can sell quickly.

If your definition of efficiency means efficient use of capital, then selling something for $500+ that costs you nothing is the best way to go. Does that make it easy? You could probably easily and quickly sell all sorts of illegal things, and for more than $500, and you could steal them, which means you are capital efficient.

So without further context of what you are trying to accomplish, the question isn't very valuable as it stands.

The other thing that comes to mind is, why? You'll get the most satisfaction not from the easiest/efficient/expensive item you can sell, but rather from something you are best suited to be selling.
CRUDE OIL: Retains Its Recovery Tone
"For highest profit always lean towards the less regulated areas of commerce." and "Big man pay big bucks for big talk." My grandpa always said.

Not really. But off the top of my head luxury car after market parts might be a good advanced setting. Selling art? Solving a problem that rich people have?

What do you have lots of access too? Sell that. Rocks? Clean 'em up and put 'em in a cardboard box.

Oh, wait are you talking about software? Month rentals seems to be the soup du jour. Give away the milk for free, but charge for some really cool glasses to drink from.

Stay honest, stay engaged with your community. Because what you're selling is kinda less important than how you sell it. A good salesman can sell anything. A mediocre salesman can sell a terrific thing. But a poor salesman can't sell anything.

This may be the case in Melbourne - in Sydney cops aggressively breath test anyone who looks "suspect" (eg. P plates, any visible modifications, male w/ long hair, athletic wear) or who is "the right person at the right time" (say, if you're driving a utility around 4-5pm - many tradeworkers have a beer or two after work before going home).
Not at all. I'm not calling for the government to arrest white supremacists just for spouting their garbage. However, I am stating my support for Twitter and everyone else to be able to exercise their free speech rights to not associate with them.
I don't even know where to start. At the 10,000 foot level, a description of a page fault might sound like an index miss, but the similarity ends there. Data access typically doesn't work at the page level at all - pages only move if the underlying virtual memory system doesn't have a requested address - so it is almost a coincidence if page faults occur at the operating system level when data isn't being found by higher level applications. They are two different systems. I realize that my description is very poor - but these are two complex systems which are being conflated. I don't know of any easy way to describe them both.
That's certainly an interesting take. In all of my dealings with small banks, it was always easy to get an EVP on the phone to sort out problems. That's now virtually impossible dealing with large banks. Frequently I find that even people whose titles indicate they should have power to solve small problems frequently don't. They need to get committee approvals for anything that isn't already governed by their procedure manual. As with any organization, as banks get bigger and bigger, they have less ability to self-regulate and quickly fix mistakes.

BTW, it's not that anyone who has problems with things like the CFPB is necessarily ANTI-REGULATION. It's just hard to grasp how much regulation exists if you're not involved in this industry. And you need to consider the consequences of this kind of regulation. You can't complain that banks are too big to fail if you're simultaneously implementing regulation (even with the best of intentions) that is directly driving banks to get bigger and bigger.
My programmers? Who the fuck do you think that you are? These are human beings; you, not so much.
The driver is agreeing to be paid a certain amount for every ride, based on some formula involving miles, minutes, surging, bonuses, etc.

What the user sees is irrelevant.

The driver has accepted X rate for driving and the rider has accepted Y rate for riding. That those are different may sound bad but isn't fraud.

What you pay for a stock and what the buyer sells it for are not the same—brokerage fees, exchange fees, etc.—but that isn't fraud. The buyer is agreeing to pay a certain amount and the seller is agreeing to sell for a certain amount. They may feel bad if the difference is huge but that isn't fraud or evil, that's capitalism, markets, etc.
> How is this different than tabloid celebrity citing?

How is it even similar? One is about shallow celebrity worship, and this is about new, upcoming technology. Would a leak of any other anticipated technology (Apple product, game console, VR kit, etc etc) get a different reception?

If it were a selfie with Elon Musk then you'd have a point, but it's not, and it seems clearly on-topic to me.

The 500 was picked to point towards a 'high ticket' sale vs a $10 ebook. The question came to mind after working on a ton of sideprojects. Instead of buulding a tool that people pay $5/mo for I wanted to find product types that would be more profitable pursuits.
Not every opposing argument is a fallacy. I observe the grandparents [1] as trying to put things in perspective, which is a very reasonable followup on a decidedly opinionated original article.

It's hilarious; if you're out creating and inventing doesn't matter what subject area, you will always run into somebody who is dissatisfied with their own life and is out to crap on your creativity. You sir are correct, it does exist, because I've created the only one ;)
The article does this:

Here's the KDF for that (in PHP):

$round1 = hex2bin(md5($pwd . $salt));
$round2 = hex2bin(md5($round1 . $pwd . $salt));
$round3 = hex2bin(md5($round2 . $pwd . $salt));
$key = $round1 . $round2;
$iv = $round3;

It still defaults to that (I'm on Ubuntu 16.04):

scala-maven-plugin allegedly supports this: http://davidb.github.io/scala-maven-plugin/example_cc.html

That said, I remember trying it and not sticking with it years ago, but I also don't use it in SBT. I remember if it was particularly broken in any way that caused me to abandon it in Maven.
I believe the opposite, that so many who deliberately conflate the two do so to make it easier to do the second by trying to frame discussions in terms of the first.

If you're going to learn TDD - then I suggest you learn who "Uncle Bob" (Robert C. Martin) is.

Watch a few of his videos, read his blogs, etc - it will all become clear.

It will also sound completely insane, if you are already used to coding and writing tests.

But give it a shot. Once you get past the awkwardness of it, you will be amazed at how well it works.

Is it the be-all-end-all for testing and development? No - it isn't. But if you're going to learn it, getting it from Bob is not a bad way to go about it.

Just for yucks, I took a look at some old purchase orders for Sun engineering workstations (single-user). They used to sit on everyone's desk at a well-funded engineering outfit.

I saw an Ultra/1 (170MHz) for about $15K in 1996, and a Ultra 60 (360 MHz, 1GB RAM) for $19.8K in 1998. It's gotten a lot cheaper.
I agree with what I think is your main point. Specifically that:

>As long as the code is good, noone should give a damn if it comes from a Hindu, a Muslim, an agnostic, a homosexual, someone with green skin or someone who enjoys the consensual presence of their prefered gender in leather.

At the end of the day, the code eventually shipped is what an open-source project exists to produce.

However, I'm more hesitant than you are to blame what happened here on diversity advocates. I don't think we want to live in a world where software is produced by homogeneous groups developers of the same age, race, and gender. And I'm not sure diversity happens by accident either. Surely being open and honest about diversity issues helps us build more accepting groups?

In my opinion, what happened here can be considered a failure in diversity, as the leadership of Drupal project decided to discriminate against one of their developers for his lifestyle decisions. This is where a diversity advocate should step in to provide education about consensual BDSM and demand that the leadership not discriminate against someone for their sexual preferences. What happened here is no different than shaming someone for who they sleep with.

I certainly am willing to recognize that projects can be damaged by individuals who push diversity issues too far because, as you said, they want "to be a part of something bigger" but are in fact destructive. But we need to find the right balance, not pretend like diversity will happen automagically.

As a member of the BDSM community I can honestly say that I would no longer feel comfortable participating in the Drupal project. So an advocate here would be perfectly acceptable to me.
That's true. However, maybe the people you do want to interact with--or the people you should interact with in order to advance your project, whether or not you particularly "want" to interact with them--will also go away and leave you alone.
It isn't? I do that regularly here in Germany (although of course I coordinate my appointments to not conflict with important meetings etc.).

FTA: The Broadcom chipset contains an MPU, but the researcher found that it's implemented in a way that effectively makes all memory readable, writeable, and executable. "This saves us some hassle," he wrote. "We can conveniently execute our code directly from the heap."

How in this decade, with all we know and have learned about security and exploits, can this kind of thing still happen?
I think it's because the person is emphasizing that they view something in a positive light in spite of a generally negative opinion of the entity doing the thing. I say "I think" to emphasise that something is my opinion in contrast to a fact read somewhere.
Free software is explicitly a political movement.

This is about the worship of a new upcoming technology. What does this article add? specifications? details about dates? change log? Some guy driving and taking pictures which is possibly unsafe if anything. What exactly about this new, upcoming technology am I supposed to learn from this article?

What Is GNU Social and Is Mastodon Social a “Twitter Clone”?
I mean, on some level I totally agree. Having enforced quotas is highly problematic.

I kind of feel like managing a very large organization, on the scale of Microsoft or even larger, is a matter of choosing the marginally less highly problematic approach than all the others.

Telling everyone to "fire people when they don't meet expectations" works pretty well in a 100 person company where the execs can more-or-less check the work of the line managers and intervene when someone is avoiding firing their low performer. It's not a solution in a 120,000 person organization.

What happens instead is some managers tolerate their low performers. And then low performers flock to their team and high performers escape it, and their team becomes dysfunctional. And then it infects all the teams around it with dysfunction. And by the time this bubbles up to a level where you can be reasonably sure that everyone's aligned and high performing and able to effectively intervene, you've got rot throughout entire departments, and fixing that causes incredible morale problems of its own.

So you adopt some kind of policy that you believe forces your line managers to have some kind of accountability.

Now, is stack ranking the least-worst policy? I dunno. I've never been in charge of Microsoft. They certainly weren't at their best during their stack ranking time, but you could plausibly point fingers in a lot of other directions to explain their overall bad performance in that time period.

But what is the alternative? I don't think you can just give everyone the Netflix culture deck and tell them to go to town. Netflix is 3,500 employees, not 120,000. It's pretty unlikely that Netflix's solution scales to Microsoft's size.
Apparently I missed the news, I hadn’t heard about https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ipv6-support-for-ec2-in... yet. But it’s only in one region still.

Full IPv6 support, for everything, in all regions, is the plain minimum.

Sadly, OVH recently removed their IPv6 support, for whatever reason.

Still not IPv6 everywhere.
Sorry, I must have misread your post. I thought you were lumping "garbage speech" in with threats of violence, which are illegal.

Yes, it's Twitter's platform, and so entirely their choice whose speech happens there.
Immediate thought - the network didn't learn sentiment in the training phase, it just clustered the data. The last phase was so quick to train because it was labeling already-clustered data, so a few data points in each cluster was enough to make it 'obvious'.
If your points #1 and #2 were in isolation, that would be fine. But the issue at hand is that those fares are justified by a evidence-based pricing policy, and the evidence in question are facts that Uber knows to be wrong.

If I'm a trader in the highly volatile Celery Stalk market, and I sign a contract with a restaurant that I'll sell them celery at a 5% markup over what I'm paying, and I actually take 7%, that's not "free trade", it's fraud.

Now I don't know exactly what the details of Uber's pricing calculations are. So maybe it's not quite like celery skimming. But it sounds close enough, and is probably worth a law suit to find out.
I think many miss this point, in particular about claiming to be employee of USCIS. I could see complications to the "free speech" defense because of that. Will be interesting to watch.
And it's the extreme that matters. Free speech is a human right.
You're describing a completely different scenario without any deception going on.
Please name a prominent left wing celebrity who was banned for similar behavior. That would make your argument much more persuasive.

But doesn't that mean twitter isn't a platform for free speech, since only twitter-approved speech gets through, and therefore can't defend free speech rights of its users since they do not exercise such speech on twitter?

Nah, sorry. Too much black-and-white thinking. The "I think" is not unnecessary in general. There are definitely situations where it makes clear on what grounds a conclusion is drawn.

Just like the original statement: "Not a fan of twitter, but..." might be seen as a side-note and unimportant to the main point, but it certainly adds information.
What's more disturbing is how normalized it's becoming to frame any criticism as hate-speech. That should scare you.
I would rather this happen now, peicemeal, so vendors can respond, than 5 years later as part of a coordinated attack. State sponsored actors are on the rise, and industrial IoT has always been a juicy unsecured target.

I mean, my view on the switching nodes thing is. It's not like you can just switch emails. Sure you can install a shim in there to forward everything, but there is no way to actually switch it. And that is the design GNU social uses.
Hmm. There are mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows that allow you to browse store. The store is also online via the web and the Xbox includes edge browser so you can search the web for game reviews..
