Those USMC principles are fine principles; they exhort leaders to care for and develop the juniors under them. In my experience, in a political corporate environment, behaving that way will hold you back. Instead of "know your marines and look out for their welfare" you should "know your manager and look out for his/her welfare" ie "manage upwards". Instead of "keep your marines informed" you should "keep your manager informed, and only share information with your juniors selectively". Instead of "take responsibility for your actions" you should "ensure failures can be blamed on some scapegoat". If you're "managing out" a weak team member to avoid a payout you should "ensure the task is not accomplished" to build a paper trail justifying their later dismissal.
I'm also very interested in i3-style tiling instead of pre-configured layouts. I like being able to manage the splits more dynamically. I also really like i3's concept of hierarchies, being able to nest the splits. And being able to switch a particular group between tabbed and horizontal/vertical organization.

Regarding your $3 price for the paid version, I think you should be careful not to set the price too low. I happily paid $18 for the professional version of AquaSnap.
Thomas Frank ("What's the matter with Kansas, "Listen, Liberal (2016)), is an American journalist who was kicked off MSNBC and writes for The Guardian instead and not US MSM.

Not only did US MSM (NYT, WaPo, ...) ignore Frank, they ignored the fact that Trump and Sanders were better at protecting STEM jobs by combatting H1-B Visa abuse than Clinton. (See ComputerWorld article below).

https://www.theguardian.com/profile/thomas-frank

He was warning the Democrats not to ignore the affects of globalization on the working class:

After BrExit (July).
The world is taking its revenge against elites. When will America's wake up?
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/19/reveng...

The first article I started sending to people in early June.

He explains very clearly that the Democrats left drifted away from the strategy of FDR of supporting the working class and protecting American jobs. Hilary was for trade which decimated working class and for H1-B visas and illegal immigration which depressed wages for STEM and working class respectively.

Trump was anti-trade, anti-illegal immigration, and anti-H1-B abuse (he complained when Disney of FL replaced 250 American IT workers with H1-B). Notably, HRC was more like Bush and Rubio wanted to expand H1-B.

http://www.computerworld.com/article/3008726/it-careers/bern...

"Sanders doesn't go into great detail about his work visa proposal, but at least he brings it up. His main opponent in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, doesn't discuss the H-1B visa at all in her "comprehensive" immigration platform.

Among the leading Republican presidential candidates, Donald Trump, the billionaire developer, has emerged as the chief H-1B critic for his party. Like Sanders, Trump wants prevailing wages increased. Another candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), is on the cusp of reversing his previously supportive position and is working on reform legislation.

Republican candidates who are seen as H-1B supporters and would likely back an increase in the annual cap on the visas are former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

Hillary Clinton may be more aligned with Rubio and Bush than she is with Sanders on the H-1B issue. While serving as a U.S. senator representing New York, Clinton traveled to Buffalo in 2003 to mark the opening of an office of IT services provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). That was 12 years ago, but the H-1B issue was very much a subject of controversy by then. TCS is one of the largest users of the H-1B visa.

The Clinton links to the IT offshore outsourcing industry have continued since then through the work of the Clinton Foundation, where Tata has been participating in its STEM education efforts. In 2011, former President Bill Clinton was paid $260,000 by IT services provider HCL to deliver a speech."

The wording of this principle is probably the one that gets talked about the most internally. People always bring up changing it, but when they rolled out a new revision of the principles two years ago or so, this one stayed the same. It's a shame, because once properly explained it's probably one of my favorite principles.

I have two volunteer gigs that I work.

In one, I'm a member of the board of directors for my condo association. There is a certain amount of growth involved, but ultimately there are a lot of politics and personalities that affect how the board works. We've accomplished a lot, but you can really see who's in control and who's just there because they thought it would be cool or something.

In the other, I volunteer as a stagehand (jack of all trades, master of none) for a community theater. I've learned a ton about the world of theater and have a new appreciation for the effort involved in putting on a production. There is a huge culture of making do with what you have, and the things that we've accomplished are incredible. Everyone involved is willing to teach the volunteers new skills, provided that they're willing to learn. This is definitely the one that's given me the most growth.

I know there are other proprietary dbs out there. I was speaking of FOSS/open databases any cant they come even without an order of magnitude of commercial offerings. Quasar would be included in that commercial group.

I'm only slightly familiar with Quasar, but I believe it is just a key-value store with document characterists, not a general database. The comparisons on their website are mostly to other KV stores and document systems.

It is clearly a bit of both, and a little of neither. The bias on both sides grew leaps and bounds recently. Both sides are attempting to capitolize on it rather than come together. The issues seem like little more than hills to fight on, rather than families to fight for. I feel like anyone who is not firmly in either camp is derided by both and it undoubtedly stifles discussion and accord.

Cdecl 3.0: An English-C/C++ translator for type declarations and casts
I interviewed with them a number of years ago, and particularly remembered after the initial wave of interviews asking what they felt about their moral obligation to protect users data because they had full read/write access to emails. The response was overly vague and generic, so I wrote them off and immediately removed myself from their service. I wasn't expecting them to be a company a number of years later, and I didn't expect them to have been tied into this. It's mind boggling to think that had I not asked that question, I likely would have continued for my onsite interview and could very well have been an employee with them at this time.

Thanks for asking. I am planning to write another blog post dedicated fully to the setup of the cluster itself. For now, I will answer here your questions:

- Since the Pi boards are not so powerful (4 cores/1Gb RAM) just the monitoring takes most of the resources. But still I can deploy small Golang/Python apps. Currently I have 3 OrangePi Boards and 1 RaspberryPi as master node. I have still about half of the memory available in each node so ~450Mi free RAM. On the CPU side, only the master node is constantly using more than half of the available CPU cores.

- I actually run into problems due to the amount of logs done by the Kubernetes components. The partition dedicated to log files was constantly getting full. Then after proper configuration of logrotate it started to be health. Another interesting problem I had was Orphaned Pods. I still don't know the reason for that. To fix this, I had to add some `rm` commands cleaning the directories of old Orphan Pods.
Nor is a government. But the founders thought the principle of free-speech was a good one and so we have the 1st amendment.
Funny thing is, this is approximately where CIA was with similar technology in closer to 2000. They did some demos for politicians about how they can given anyone's fake their messages. That stuff is golden for propaganda means, and for confusing stuff like military chains of command. Today the CIA probably has worked out all the robotic artifacts already, and their output is really indistinguishable.
I define facts as structured piece of the information, which I need to extract for specific domain area automatically. I do hope extraction to work automatically in order for the project to make sense.

Eventually it will be measured for precision and recall using human judgement. The quality of that judgement would impact greatly on improvements and sustainability of the algorithm overall.
Interesting tidbit at the end of the article about LSD microdosing reportedly fixing twelve female subjects' irregular/painful menstrual cycles.
While this is a really interesting article, there may be some issues around the "placebo effect" of taking a microdose vs physical effects of the microdose. (Granted, the impact of "having more creative moments" may be the same either way, which could be a win in itself)

https://www.gwern.net/LSD%20microdosing this article was posted on HN a few years back, and talks about an self-administered blind study of microdosing, which found limited benefits of microdosing, counter to most anecdotal examples.

I agree that blame should go to people who care about privacy and then don't read privacy policies.

However, blame should also go to companies that hide important privacy info in privacy policies, with the full knowledge that most of their users will never see it.

Given that the company here is a single entity, while their users are a disorganized mass, I think the company should bear much more responsibility for fixing the situation. They can unilaterally fix it for everybody, while their users can't.

The company also exists with the sole purpose of running its business. That is all they do. Their users, on the other hand, are quite busy doing many other things and dedicate perhaps 0.1% of their time to doing business with this company.

In a relationship that's this lopsided, we should not hold both sides to the same standard. The company should bear far more responsibility for hiding important information where nobody will read it than their users should bear for not hunting it down.

Edit: it occurs to me that this is basically like getting conned. Somebody spins a story at a gas station about how they're trying to get to Cincinnati and they just spent their last $5 on money for their sick kid and can you just help a guy out, and they manage to con some poor sucker, do we focus our ire on the con artist or on the sucker? I'm OK with telling the sucker that they should be more careful and they shouldn't have fallen for the story, but they are ultimately the victim here, and the culprit is the scammer.
I've seen worse in 'normal' companies, where managers get apathetic about fighting other layers of management so everything moves at a snail's pace.
We can. =)

I credit HR to sharing them and making sure people hear about them on the way in, but I think a lot of their success has to do with the fact that they're easy to relate to and understand. They're not meaningless platitudes. Lots of companies have "values" like "integrity" and "commitment". But what does that mean? In what context? It's vague.

Customer Obsession is pretty obvious. Earn Trust. These are simple. And while the descriptions of them can get pretty wordy, everyone can tell you what they mean because they're easy to identify with.

I also thing that what they do is give people a lot of empowerment to make decisions, and that makes them attractive. 14 principles that are easy to understand and appeal to people's good will. If you're acting with the principles in mind, you cannot go wrong.

If crowdfunding has taught me anything it is that the existence or state of the prototype is not predictive of the success of your campaign.

> In explaining the thinking behind this rather novel approach to recruitment, Mr Timpson, 74, says that while you can train someone to do a job, you cannot train their personality.

Timpson are good in the UK because for a long time they've been happy to interview ex-offenders.

> Timpson really are an equal opportunities employer. We consider anyone for our vacancies as long as they are able to do the job. This includes ex-offenders and other marginalised groups.

I guess you could think of a hovering helicopter vs a circling aircraft, both having the same weight and hence same lift. Both have to accelerate some air mass downwards. The lift comes from the velocity x mass = momentum of air, which has to be the same with both.

Since the airplane wings affect a larger air volume than the helicopter blades, the airplane accelerates a larger air mass, but to a lower speed.
The helicopter: smaller air mass, higher speed.

Since energy required is proportional to the second power of speed, the helicopter requires more power for the same lift.

You could create a helicopter that was quite efficient in hover, with really big blades. It would then have some other problems, like limited speed.
What about them do you find evil?

I had a Huawei Ascend P7, and while its performance was a little worse than advertised (not really flagship power, more like a midrange phone), I was extremely impressed by its battery management (and the build quality was pretty good). It lasts up to 2 days without any special care, it has an app that aggresively monitors and throttles background tasks though.
I agree. In general, I aim to never use emojis within a post like this because that leaves too much up in the air for interpretation. I did find it a bit high horse, and subtle jabs, albeit still jabs at the original article's author.

Left a bad taste in my mouth when I finished reading it.

I can understand the author's frustration when the user's criticism is unfounded in many areas but his points could've been made without the tongue in cheek comments.

It's a double standard for sure, but it's the same concept as when you're responding to a potential troll on social media. You don't want to add fuel to the fire.

IMO, there's almost too much focus on the really sexy research areas of "AI". Everyone wants to work on self-driving cars and chat bots. But there's huge opportunity in just applying basic models to business processes with normal data.
I think the key factor isn't "how valuable is she to the company", but rather, "how valuable is she to the economy". There's a significant difference between the 2. Someone who is slightly important to Google, is still a lot more valuable to the national economy, compared to someone who is very important to {random_mediocre_business}.
So much potential for mischief!!
Yeah, my problem with these sorts of microdosing stories is that, like drinking, LSD can really screw with your perception of things.
