I think it's fair to say that in the vast, vast majority of multi-story buildings, people are only really be interested in visiting a single story (for their destination) and maybe the basement (for parking). The exception is shopping centers, which use escalators or stairs for most traffic rather than elevators.
From what I gather, the founders were plowing ahead despite clear signs of failure in store. Looking at it that way, this is not a scam, but instead a story of the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship. It's unfortunate that a proper learning lesson has been turned into a laughing stock, but I guess that is also part of the lesson.
I'm afraid you'll have to put up with the discussion of their "amazing culture", and what innovators they are. Even non-Tech companies give speils like that these days.
No, this is because in Germany "university degree" is used in a more narrow sense (it is a higher standard than, say, US college degrees).
Yes and no. I don't use mosh these days, mostly because SSH is perfectly fine for my current use case of occasionally having to log in to a remote server and perform some quick one-off task. When I did on-call shifts for large production systems, often with complex tasks that took a while to complete - that's when the combination of Mosh and tmux on a remote machine came in very handy.
This is a good idea! I wonder what other simple data points people are willing to log
Post production security is notoriously strict, well for visual effects and finishing at least.

there are regular audits, that test physical and software security.

the most notable being that all areas dealing with content must be on a separate air gapped network, with physical locking capable of logging.

> Though many people clearly believe that racial and ethnic classifications are somehow linked to science, I observe that their relationship to genetics is a lot like astrology's link to astronomy.

He was right about that, just one year before the Human Genome Project started and fourteen years before it was completed. Today we know that humans lack a well delimited genetic clustering like the one we see in cats, dogs, horses, cows, etc. and that there are a large number of inter-group genetic distances that are shorter than intra-group ones.

Denmark here. November 21 2014 instant clearing 365/24/7 between danish banks via the Danish Central Bank was started. I can transfer money from bank A and have it be there on my account with bank B when I alt-tab over and refresh the browser with netbank B. Oh and its free(although a few banks have started charging a minor DKK 1 or DKK 10 fee for initiating the transfer, not mine though).
At least minimum wage. You can aern a lot more as a computer science student and probably in other fields.

There are a few problems with resumes:

- Job candidates are often not good at building resumes that market themselves to a specific role.

- Job candidates have an incentive to write the boldest resume, while still being technically honest.

- Resumes are typically 1 or 2 pages and are missing a lot of data about work histories that span years to decades.

On the other hand, the academic world has a similar, but much more interesting dataset:

- There is a very narrow culture that defines what a good CV is.

- CVs are filled with verifiable accomplishments like publications. The existence of the publication can be verified with a Google search, and a publication's usefulness can be approximated by the number of citations proportional to similar papers.

- CVs are much longer than an industry resume, giving more data for an algorithm to parse.

I think there is potential for academic jobs to programmatically find candidates based on analyzing CVs and publications for qualified job candidates... but the academic world is also small enough that automation may not be necessary.

For industry jobs, I think programmatically-administered work-sample tests are the future, even if candidates hate them. Senior candidates have the bargaining power to avoid work-sample tests, but everybody starts off as a junior candidate. Everybody may end up taking work sample tests for their first job in industry--much like (nearly) everybody takes a standardized test for undergraduate college admissions.
I'm not sure how that's related to 'kids who have a run-in with the law supposedly have a worse time than kids who got sent to camps'.

Portland Oregon has pretty good food (and beer) festivals regularly, and I think the key thing is that there's a pretty heavy organizational overlap with city-run yearly 'county fair' type festivals - down to repurposing the same ticketing schemes from rides for food instead - just with the higher-class restaurateurs involved replacing the usual 'fair food' grease-and-fries types.
I enquired a bit for a friend. There seems almost no danger of the phages adversely affecting humans. The bigger danger is probably that they can't find a phage that works and you get ill when other treatments may have worked better. I was enquiring for a friend who has a drug resistant urinary tract infection. You can fedex a urine sample to Tbilisi and for $200 they'll check if they have phages for the bacteria.
Well what were the odds of that, eh?
> This specific breach highlights a risk posed by the weak security practices in the postproduction studios that manage the release of proprietary entertainment content. While companies like Netflix and Fox might invest in state-of-the-art cybersecurity defense technology, they must also rely on an ecosystem of postproduction vendors, ranging from mom-and-pop shops to more sophisticated outfits like Dolby and Technicolor, which may not deploy the same level of cybersecurity and threat intelligence.

I'm guessing that "they must also rely on" means that they outsource to non-union shops to cut expenses.

Not necessarily post production but the security at Discovery Channel was pretty poor when I worked there. Massive open directory where everyone tossed files. Didn't want to snoop around and get in trouble but I heard from some people there it's pretty laughable. It didn't even require a login...
Not in post production.

I have been through the industry body audit, and it sucked.

We had to remove internet access for the entire staff, and give them locked down RDP instead.

How widely adopted is QUIC outside of Google? If Google (including DoubleClick, etc) sites are the only ones using QUIC, it's a little unusual IMO to enable an experimental protocol by default

For example: this technology looks cool. How can I take advantage of QUIC to speed up my personal hosted content? Is there a module for nginx or an Apache mod_quic I can install? The code is out there of course, but it seems prebuilt options are limited
it's true though, the self-absorbed Americans dominating the top thread with an argument about (the USA legal definition of) free speech and how it relates to US specific racial tensions... because they'd rather loudly proclaim their position in a known argument they've had before than sit back, shut up and maybe learn something new about a country they don't know about, with a big problem that can't be explained as "just like in US except for XYZ so they should just PQR" (if only, in reality three comments down in the top thread everyone's forgotten Turkey as the main topic of discussion)
Even non-union shops have to be audited.....
I think you are overestimating how good conventional medical treatment is. Things like phage treatment are far more likely to help than harm. The reasons they don't happen are much closer to too much hassle, don't have time to bother.
While I think it is good for both Germany and students, it probably has a bit of geopolitics mixed in. All those young people, if they return to their home countries, will be naturally more oriented toward German products thus indirectly making German economy stronger. I saw a similar theme in Russia, where there is even a specialized university for this [1]

Oh. Thanks! I was expecting the imperial ton to have a different name like most other metric/imperial units. TIL.
You are spot on. Chinese food in china is good and different from what you get in Chinese restaurants in US/Europe - you really have to look for restaurants there to get real Chinese food. Also the Turkish food, your writing is spot on. The same can be said for Italian, Austrian, German, French, etc food. An "Oktoberfest" copy-cat in another country is usually a lot different to the original. To really cook local food on another continent you need a cook, receipts, species and ingredients from the original country.

So you are basically saying that if I see a Ford TV ad featuring a black male with a white woman, I'm justified not to buy a Ford because it signals they just want black males and white women as customers.

The article does touch on a large part of the explanation.

Ross Perot, running as a 3rd party Presidential candidate in 1992, called it the "giant sucking sound" of US jobs going to Mexico due of NAFTA.[1]

Not long afterward, US trade with China drastically increased.[2] Then China was admitted into the WTO. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The manufacturing jobs lost during this period of time were, for the most part, middle class. With the loss of manufacturing, we've seen growth in minimum wage service jobs and growth in highly paid knowledge jobs (e.g. HN type people).

It doesn't take such arcane rituals to find more "authentic" Chinese food in major US cities. Many Chinese restaurants serve both the Americanized dishes and traditional Chinese dishes. You just have to know what to order.
You just did the thing I suggested was insubstantial and said hurts and I didn't like. Please stop. Also it's a logical error to judge a claim by the site it's on, or by the claims surrounding it.

I linked to that page and specified NTBM. You could have substantially commented on the Los Alamos patents and their discussion on that page. But you chose to go off that page and to emphasize easy-to-ridicule parts. Please don't do that, thank you.

> becoming well-read suits me better than widely-read

I believe this is true simply because most books of the same genre rehash the same set of ideas. Author reference each others works and reach the same conclusions as their predecessors.

The benefits of reading outside your regular genre can't be underestimated.

Also, can you recommend some of your favorite non-fiction books? I've read most of the popular ones and while re-reading some of them is on my mind, would still love to have something new in the pipeline.
There is a lot of ego around food when it gets tied to identity. Your spouse is probably rejecting many restaurants that are run by immigrants cooking recepies brought over.

What you describe above would imply that everyone is falling out of the middle class rather than climbing up out of it - the data doesn't back that up though. FTA:

"In inflation-adjusted dollars, the share of U.S. households making $100,000 or more has more than tripled between 1967 and 2017, from 8% to 26%, according to U.S. Census data, while the percentage of middle income ($35,000 to $100,000 a year) has fallen. However, lower income U.S. households ($35,000 or less per year) have only slightly fallen over the last four decades."
Sadly Privacy.com - We're currently only available in the US

Privacy looks like a useful service if you can use it.

Interestingly Paypal had the same one time CC service some 10 years ago but it only lasted a few years.

Thing with alternatives to Paypal is that eventually they run into same fraud problems Paypal experienced 15 years ago and stumble.

I try to stay away from Paypal but often they are the only option.
Is there mandatory helmet use (other than for kids?)

The article in question is about mandatory use in bicycle racing.
The reason for this is people's palate and availability of the raw ingredients and spices. In most cases people replace raw ingredients and spices need to be homemade or replaced. The end result is nothing which is going to be authentic.

Sure there will always be places where someone native wants his home food and does all the hard work to put it together. But those are very few.

Well, Larson Studios apparently wasn't. Or at least, not very carefully.
> Turkish fast food, specifically Kebab, is as far as I know a German invention taken up by Turks

That is not quite correct. The Kebab ("grilled meat") is genuinely Turkish. To put it into flatbread was the invention of a Turkish immigrant to Germany, in Berlin in the 1970's [1]. From there it rose to prominence as fastfood all over Germany, and subsequently internationally.

can you explain what your mean by diverse in your situation and why it was worth the effort
that's a weird extrapolation, considering both "white" and "men" are represented in your commercial.

If a company was showing off that their engineers quit within their first week, would you consider that a justification against taking a job there?

There's information provided in promotional material lacking in women: the company isn't good at attracting and keeping women. If you're a woman then, it's reasonable to think that this might not be the right job.

>> “They are scared of losing their jobs to mechanization,” [..] “A robot is not going to rent a house, buy clothing for their kids, buy food in a grocery and reinvest that money in the local economy.”

A robot won't do those things, but in the long run the ex-farm workers will move to urban areas where they'll get jobs, rent houses, buy clothing for their kids...

That's what happened a century ago when the first wave of mechanization in the first world began a trend that reduced agricultural employment from >90% of all jobs to <5%.

Everything will be fine and the everyone's standard of living will rise...in the long run. In the meantime, let's try to avoid a populist revolution.

This only works with people who are already anti-corporate. A normal conservative would say "Because they're entitled to run their business and use their property as they see fit, and if you don't like what they're offering, you don't have to buy it."

The much better argument is that BigCos are seeking to establish a cartel for the primary purpose of excluding entrepreneurship and limiting consumer choice. Emphasize the importance of the internet as a free platform for the market and that net non-neutrality allows an undue influence over that market to whoever the local telecom provider is.

This is very real, because the main driver of interest for net non-neutrality from the ISP side is the possibility of protecting cable subscriptions. On that front, it's tech giants v. telecom and entertainment giants.

Over 30% of Disney's gross revenue comes from ESPN (yes, really!), and most of that revenue comes from cable subscriptions. Anecdotally, typical-speed internet access will only consume around 30% of the average consumer's cable bill, meaning a cancellation results in ~70% monthly revenue loss from that customer (bundles, contracts, and packages are used to attempt to control this).

Cordcutting is a very real threat to the established players, directly conflicting with their interest in delivering stable internet services that are sufficiently reliable and speedy to stream videos.
Note that the article uses "middle class" and "middle income" interchangeably, but in some countries class is not directly related to income. So when it says "that the middle class rose in the Netherlands and Spain, and soared in Ireland and the U.K.", at least for the UK they mean "middle income" not necessarily "middle class".
The code seems generate to generate a very simple service worker that enables offline more for the web app: it puts the static assets in a cache that serves them if the network is down.

While it is a great start, and nothing wrong with that, I encourage people to check the more advanced features of routing and caching, where you have much better control of what is happening in the service worker. I have found the best JS library for that is sw-toolbox:
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/sw-toolbox

Shameless plug: I have also developed a Dart library for progressive web apps: https://github.com/isoos/pwa

One significant advantage of the library over the original solution is that you can have offline mode without sweating as much as 100-ish characters:
https://medium.com/dartlang/making-a-dart-web-app-offline-ca...

(Scroll ~to the middle, super-simple to setup).

Another advantage is that cache invalidation is really hard. Neither the linked quickstart, nor the sw-toolbox addresses this, but there should be a way to control your cache updates, invalidations, and making sure you don't leave it in a broken state. Also, these should make sure that you don't pollute the user's browser too much.

My pwa package does cover a lot of these edge-cases, and I'm happy to answer questions wrt/ pwa caching if there are any.

(Next up: messaging solution between service workers, web workers, isolates...)
for animated graphics no Turing language needed - true. However a Turing complete language can sure make things easier.

Also for animated graphics some things that are not interactive (if we defined interactive as meaning with user interaction) like randomness for example - need something similar to a programming language to do it.
It's still fine if you don't use the modern multimedia interactive Internet, that needs a large bandwidth and big data centers, and therefore big companies and therefore questionable monetization schemes.

Roll back to the nineties, when most of the traffic was made of text, and then a Cuban network is good enough.

But of course, you have to say goodbye to Netflix and Youtube. That's not a bad thing. When I was a student in the nineties, I decided I wouldn't have a TV or a computer in my room, because those where too distracting for me. So I ended up reading books and listening to radio.

The radio is a wonderful thing. It doesn't monopolize your primary sense. Making content doesn't require as much resources as for the TV. They don't need makeup. They don't need lighting. As a result they can focus more on the meaningful content. They just can't distract people with spectacular or pretty images anyway (even ads are better, because it's kind of difficult to sell stuff with boobs here).

But don't hope too much. People won't go back in the nineties. YouTube and Facebook not being available is a no-go for them. Net neutrality and openness will be undone piece by piece over time. But if you're OK with going back to the BBS era (or the too short Gopher era), the bandwidth you'd use would be so tiny compared to the rest that the Internet giants won't care about you.
it's a competitive advantage in hiring.

say there's five companies attracting just men, and there's one company attracting both men and women, all six are competing for the men, but only one gets the best women
