"Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and Denmark are all unlikely, as she seemed "foreign" to the Nordic region."

One of these countries is not like the others… Switzerland is not a "Nordic" country by any stretch of the imagination.

Not that it's likely that the Swiss secret service had any business in that region.
I think the response is rescinded offer. The reasons will likely be along the lines of litigation risk, flight risk, culture fit, etc.

Not joking btw. It's rather amazing that employers who expect rational, logical decision making on the job want applicants to suspend their reasoning and good judgment when it comes to negotiating compensation and employment terms.
It's not hard to imagine. But "easy to imagine" does not equal "success".
If it's an unreasonable contract and they refuse to make the contract reasonable upon request then having the company walk away probably means you dodged a bullet.
Exactly. It feels even easier and more reasonable if you do the work for them; copy the document, make the changes, export as PDF and send it back. Everyone worth their salt understands employment agreements to be negotiable.

First, math (linear algebra in particular) is not at all about equations. The format you said is very limiting, because most of the important things in linear algebra are not equations: vector spaces, basis, norms, orthogonality, diagonalization, eigenvalues, etc.

Second, if you crave for applications, check out this free linear algebra book: Linear Algebra Done Wrong by Serge Treil (https://www.math.brown.edu/~treil/papers/LADW/LADW.html)

His book has a lot of applications, and has been written as a response to Axler's book, which does not (even though I think that Axler's way is the best).

Finally, No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra tries to do exactly what you want: the presentation aims to be

(I)here's a concept
(II)here's a real-world application

Dutch investigative journalism about Trump's ties to Russian mobsters
Piketty's idea that r > g leads to wealth inequality just makes me shrug. You can't really have it another way.

If r (the rate of return on capital) is less than g (the growth in output) that means that people have no incentive to build wealth or become more intelligent to deploy that capital more profitably. If I'm never going to make more than the growth in output, why bother with capital?

The logical conclusion to that would be that everyone wants to be an employee and nobody wants to be an employer.

If I can grow my wealth more quickly than the nations output, I'm grabbing a bigger slice of the pie. The hope with capitalism is that I'm grabbing that pie because I've earned it and the market hopes I'll be able to steward that wealth.

So yeah, capitalism may be inherently inclined to wealth inequality because some people outperform. But do you really want it another way?

There certainly is wealth inequality in the world, but it isn't actionable to blame it on r > g. It's more effective to look at things on a micro basis. Does this person have a child that is prohibiting them from saving? Why is the person being excluded from jobs? Do they have a proper education?

Not a lawyer, and the Wikipedia was hard to follow. What do you think the implications of this in writing would be?
I think that argument would also imply that you don't need a copyright license to write a sequel to a book (assuming you don't quote the book, but the sequel includes characters / plots from the original book), and I think it's the case that a sequel is a derivative work. So by contradiction, it doesn't matter if the patch to the source includes a nontrivial portion of the source; it's still based on the source either way.

Alexa wasn't a big sell to me before I looked at the home automation side of things. Alexa + Hue is pretty fantastic. Settled down for a movie "Alex, dim the lights." Or lying in bed. Or setting a program while on vacation. That plus hooking it up to spotify is pretty great. If you're cooking, "Alex next." etc. The classic "Alexa how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon" comes up from time to time as well. It's 100% a thing no one needs, but certainly has a use.

If the other side sees ordinary negotiation as 'confrontation', walk away.
I had originally assumed that the Leave vote in the UK EU referendum was a protest against neoliberalism, but now I'm beginning to wonder. In a few weeks, voters in the UK will have the option of voting for a party (Labour) which now opposes neoliberalism, but it's well-behind in the opinion polls. Even if all the progressive votes (Labour, Lib Dems, SNP/Plaid Cymru, Greens) are aggregated, they're still outnumbered by the combined Tory and UKIP vote. I'm beginning to wonder if support for Brexit was mostly just xenophobia, but not many people like to admit to that.
I'm 100% with you, an email is all it usually takes, but most people don't realize that. When your life and blood depends on competing with the people you work with, it's very simple to say "no."

But when you're just getting a start and think that "this contract is life or death"? It's a non-starter, you would never think of negotiating it.

It makes more sense for them to simply be illegal than negotiable for that very reason.

Blame the fragmenting US population identity-wise, which has been accelerated by rhetoric on the left. Fewer and fewer people identify as an "American" with each passing year meaning that it is harder and harder to push policies that benefit "Americans".

I lived in China for 1.5 years in 2005 to 2006 and culturally, once you pull back the facade of language and food, it wasn't terribly different than how America felt in the 80s (earliest decade I can remember and the last decade where there was still a semblance of cultural uniformity and support for pro-America policies)

IMHO, major wars will only happen somewhere in Asia...between China, Russia, India and Pakistan (all nuclear powers). They all have border issues are relatively large countries and China and India have potential to be local superpowers. China will need Lebensraum and move into Siberia and that might start it all.

>>That's an appeal to authority.

Argument from authority is not always fallacious. Please read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority#Struct...

I posit that the argument I made uses the valid form: people who are established authorities on a given topic are more trustworthy when making claims about that topic, because they are more likely to be correct. Pruitt himself has proven the opposite to be true as well by being repeatedly wrong about science and rejecting scientifically established facts.
Well, I think that in most cases, a fair amount of that knowledge qualifies as general knowledge about the problem space, notwithstanding that employers would like to paint it all as proprietary.

Still, there is a little truth in what you say. But we in California think that that is a price very much worth paying in exchange for the more vibrant economy afforded by outlawing noncompetes.
IMO It's better to hear out the concerns of the hiring manager and ask for their side of the story regarding why the clause is there.

That way they feel like they've been heard and their concerns are taken into account which makes them feel better when/if you formulate a new clause.

Sending back a printed list of demands could be interpreted as unnecessarily confrontational.

To me the first sample sounded like some subway passing by but when you're still far away yet.

That said, after about 15 to 30s of attentive, continuous listening, it started making me increasingly uneasy, as I perceived the sound as being extremely oppressive and ominous, in a very chthonian way. I'm not going to try to listen to that any longer because I'm half sure that could almost turn into a panic attack of sorts or something. Really unsettling.

The second, fractal one didn't produce that effect unless I turned the volume way up, and even then, not as much.

What software is that? There is a 32-bit version of Windows 10, which can still run 16-bit Windows/DOS programs, and IE11 still supports ActiveX, Silverlight, Java applets and even (in IE10 compatibility mode) VBScript.

So AFAICT 32-bit W10 can run most anything 32-bit XP can (likewise the 64-bit versions, though neither can run 16-bit programs), and IE11 can run most anything IE8 can (with minor configuration).

Is it software that relies on undocumented APIs? (I can't imagine why hospital software would require exotic methods of poking at the kernel or hardware).
Conversely, though - if you're completely unwilling to accept a clause that limits your employment after leaving the company, your starting point should be an agreement that doesn't have such a clause in it. Don't give them the impression they can talk you out of it. By giving them a new document to sign, they are the ones who have to confront you if they want to re-add the noncompete.

This is a your-mileage-may-vary thing and there is no easy answer for all cases.
Your "argument" is not as profound as you think. Since humans have been on this earth, some are obviously more successful using technology than others. Also, some are better at communication than others..

Piketty's argument is based on the assumption that, broadly speaking, low income inequality is a desirable trait of a society, and does in fact spend some time going into detail how technology accelerates inequality. His analysis is on how to create a more sustainable society in light of this.
The size of the position only depends on the order book. You assume that the position should be large, but in markets that are not very liquid that's not necessarily the case.
I think it would mean that it would be more likely for a court to scrutinize the terms of the contract with an eye toward whether they were reasonable and fair, rather than simply enforcing it as written.

(ETA:) This might not help very much, because in places where noncompetes are standard, a court would be sticking its neck out a little to rule that one is unreasonable. But maybe it would help a little, if one couldn't get the provision struck from the contract altogether, and had no reasonable alternative to accepting the job. (Again: IANAL, and I'm just speculating -- no one should take this as legal advice!)
That's actually even way too much code for the Rust version. A wrapper type declaration is as simple as `struct MoveOnlyInt(i32);`, and construction is then just `let foo = MoveOnlyInt(42);`. (And of course, the wrapper type is only necessary because integers in Rust implement `Copy`, opting out of move semantics.)

Why do you think noncompetes are the hallmark of a free society?
The election at this point is about nationalism, and is being compounded by an Us-vs-Them narrative as played out (and played up) with the dinner debacle. People who wouldn't normally vote Tory will vote for May because they want to rally around what they perceive as a strong leader against the Other.

Obviously with the dinner debacle the EU side's motive was to inject some realism about the weakness of Britain's hand, but May played it the only way she could have.

Britain didn't learn the full lesson from World War II: that nationalism is actually a bad thing. Its approach to Europe has been wrong all throughout as a result, and it's compounded by being joined at the hip to US foreign policy.

But everywhere else in the world is growing economically, and the West is shrinking as a slice of the overall pie, and this will naturally add to the continuing decline in the US's ability to project its will. The EU is also about creating a larger centre of gravity able to negotiate as an equal to China and the US. It'll take some time for the UK to realize how lonely it is on the outside, especially as protectionism increases - fewer friendly ports on the open sea, and bigger sharks - it's not the best time to be setting sail alone.

Something I've seen a few times is a disclosure mechanism that allows you to declare any side projects that you're working on in your own time and carve those out from the IP assignment rights usually found within NDAs.

Now, you can argue that it's not your employer's business what you do off the clock, but it at least provides a way to protect yourself from falling foul of the agreement and having the company later claim ownership of your work. The key though is to ensure that you don't do any personal work on a company laptop - I believe once you do that all bets are off.

Is that true? If I have capital wouldn't I want to allocate it for the best risk/return/effort. That my percentage of the pie is shrinking doesn't mean I would allocate my capital inefficently to accelerate that shrinkage.

For example, imagine today you had 1 million dollars. If interest rates were 0.1% would you say no to that risk free $1000 a year? I wouldn't. I would click that button. Perhaps it would encourage me to spend more but I wouldn't sit on cash.

You implicitly admitted that HFT does provide sub-second liquidity benefits elsewhere in this thread, but questioned why we'd want sub-millisecond liquidity. Can you illustrate why we'd want one and not the other (what is especially beneficial or harmful about one versus the other)?

"Lessons learnt by ransomware developers..."

If you are suggesting that developers, regardless whether they develop mobile apps or ransomware, will start relying less on DNS, I respectfully disagree.

Someone else in this thread commented how reliance on DNS makes systems "fragile". With that I strongly agree.

The same old assumptions will continue to be made, such as the one that DNS, specifcally, ICANN DNS, is always going to be used.

How to break unwanted software? Do not follow the assumptions.

For example, to break a very large quantity of shellcode change the name or location of the shell to something other than "/bin/sh".[1]

Will shellcoders switch to a "robust statistical model" instead of hard coding "/bin/sh"?

Someone once said that programmers are lazy. Was he joking?

1. Yes, I know it may also break wanted third party software. When I first edited init.c, renamed and moved sh I was seeking to learn about dependencies. I expected things to break. That was the point: an experiment. I wanted to see what would break and what would not.
