As someone who grew up visiting the Vancouver aquarium, I struggle a bit with this decision. Vancouver's​aquarium has always tried to brand itself as research focused, and I have concerns about the loss to research if we stop allowing the aquarium to work with rescues. Personally, I have no problem with keeping rescues that are unreleaseable and injured by humans.

A friend who worked there shared the following, which is worth a read if you're n interested in the topic:. http://vanmag.com/city/how-working-at-the-vancouver-aquarium...
I don't know if Firebase has a reseller program, but for other cloud offers from Google, my advice is: if you want someone you can scream at, buy from a reseller instead of buying directly from Google.

Last week at thegoodfellas.com.br a disgruntled ex-employee managed to erase all their Gmail accounts and change the administrator account in order to prevent recovery. You can recover a deleted account in 5 days, but you need access to that administrator account. Unfortunately they could not recover access to the administrator account in time and lost all their G Suite data - you may blame them for their flawed firing process but shit happens and when it does a reseller can be fast enough to prevent a tragedy.

Disclaimer: I run a G Suite reseller operation
I'm waiting for the followon - I stirred it up, I got good results, and now I can't seem to reproduce them again :-(
I remember going to the Vancouver Aquarium as a kid 20 years ago or so and watching the dolphins do tricks. These might have been rescued, but they were still trained to for entertainment. The Vancouver Aquarium isn't totally innocent.

I highly recommend the Honda Fit. I second hand one with 10-30K on it can be had for four figures. And it will go for 200K without major service, 300K if you live outside the rustbelt.

I recently switched to electric. I could not be more happy with the Nissan Leaf (mostly that the first service item in the manual is to change the Fob battery at 30K)
Many of the conservation efforts contributed by zoos would disappear without the funds generated by the thousands of people visiting.
totally agreed that it wasn't google. people signed up for firebase and expected whatever level of service they had with firebase to continue. google acquiring them, then changing things for the worse for existing customers with little-to-no documentation/warning/etc - it's inexcusable. but people will stay with them because "we're already here", and they'll continue the abusive cycle for years.

And yes, on the comic - ok, not everyone "knows" everything up front. But... you have search engines (google, even!) to do actual research beforehand.

I see small business folks and small consultancies do far more research on comparing various $7/month hosting plans via hosting review sites than I see people researching their decisions to use AWS vs Google vs Azure.

My point was that there are use cases where you are probably going to still want driving. E.g: having control over the pedal and the steering wheel is a bit easier than telling your car to stop and start, or crawl along at 3 miles an hour.

Driving is a magical experience. We don't think about it at all, we just do it. The issue is that a level 5 car will still need traditional input devices for things that are harder to describe with voice than just, you know, doing it. And because you still need traditional input controls you probably will still need insurance.
Indeed!

It's like if I'd invested $100 in Amazon at IPO, which is worth around $64K today but Jeff Bezos could now but my stock back for the original $100 as long as he offered me half-price on a new Kindle.

That's some nice snarkiness about how modern machine learning works. But let's not forget that this apparently "dumb" approach has beaten out much more intelligent seeming systems on many tasks. To me, this means we shouldn't be so confident that we know what an intelligent system looks like. Maybe effectiveness in AI doesn't have much to do with human interpretability, and even less to do with whether humans find the approach intellectually satisfying.
Hopefully, she doesn't disappear, but uses her popularity to stand up and fight for what she believes.

Your analogy is flawed, that's not what "lifetime warranty" means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warranty#Lifetime_warranty "A lifetime warranty is usually a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that has no time limit to make a claim, rather than a warranty that the product will perform for the lifetime of the buyer.[6] The actual time that product can be expected to perform is normally determined by the custom for products of its kind used the way the buyer uses it."

Over here, at your neighbor to the east, it IS rather expensive if you visit just once.

But most locations offer a ticket for a year, sometimes even for a family for a year, and become very affordable all of a sudden if you visit four to rive times a year or more.

Since most of the zoos over here also offer mundane attractions for kids (fancy playgrounds, petting zoos and whatnot) it's a decent deal and in my experience something that works quite well.

How likely would that be to lead to a better outcome than both the slaver or the slave being deported?

Any solution that grants immigration status to people (who are often, as the woman in OP's story, not even literate) "just" on the basis of them having been enslaved is probably not politically tenable in the US. The most you can hope for is some sizeable amount of damages to be paid, and depending on the legal framework of the source country they subsequently get expelled to, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the slaver could just reclaim the money once they are back.
I think I exempted the exact scenario you mentioned.

Windows, like Linux, is a great OS, IF you know what you're doing and a terrible OS IF you don't.

My point is, hardware matters and abstracting it has real cost in terms of control, performance, and dollars as the OP has now learned.

So what, Manning did go to prison. If you do the crime, get some integrity and do the time instead of being a poster boy for a dictator.

>That's what happened.

No, what happened is that he flew from Hong Kong to Moscow. The fact is that we don't have direct flights to Equador from Moscow, so if he wanted to go to Equador, and not in Moscow, he probably wouldn't end up here.

I think that is hyperbole. They are only banning the whales, not all the other animals that are helped by the aquarium. I was at the aquarium this last summer. There's much more to it than the beluga whales. Sure some people will choose not to go once the whales are gone, but there's still tons of other things to see.

The author talks about using their own infrastructure and open source alternatives but that's a revisionist fantasy. They would have never gotten off the ground as a start up by buying a bunch of servers and spending time spinning up infrastructure. Not to mention they would have been paying the full costs of their bandwidth from the start.

The real lesson to learn here is to never hit a paid service going through a domain you don't control. DNS and proxy tricks would have saved the day.
Advice for working with recruiters?
I may be looking for a new job soon. Any advice for working with recruiters? There have always been lots of recruiters reaching out with "amazing" job opportunities, but I was never looking for a new job. Should I let all of them know I'm looking? Should I work with just one? They all want to have a phone call. Is there a faster way to fill them in without having a phone call with each and every one? Any other advice? Thanks.
Well...even then (especially then!) Windows is not the right platform for this, I would say. Too many moving parts and stuff - one would have thunk that the GWX popups were enough of an disincentive.
Glaring Omission: Location of work is advantageous to the Workforce from a Standard of Living perspective.

As in, there's a reason Toyota took 5 years of study and careful evaluation then picked Plano, Texas for its US HQ and got a significant amount of transplants. Other companies moving to Texas have similar stories. I've caught a few on the local PBS broadcast "CEO" if that helps cite sources.

On paper, Plano and the surrounding areas have an exceptionally appealing set of conditions. No state income tax. Large sprawl for housing. Cheap gas. Plentiful good schools, public and private. High end everything available.

It's obvious that these conditions, chosen by the employer, had the employee's life in mind. At least that's my takeaway, and I think it's a positive one.

Just because it's their favorite, doesn't mean they do it well. Some of your examples are perfect for a surface look at identity. They focus on how our concept of identity affects our day to day life and how we can manipulate that to help or hurt. Others, like Frozen, really have little to nothing to do with identity and instead are that tired plot of "figuring out who I am" which, yeah that's kind of what identity is but it's not really looking at the concept of identity.

But that's not what GitS is about.

I'm referring to a more philosophical approach, even an abstract one. GitS specifically is looks at identity as a malleable thing. To a "western audience", in the original film, The Major is no longer The Major at the end. Or at least, they'd be reassured by her familiar voice and reassure themselves that it really is still her and they haven't lost their protagonist. "Well, she sounds the same and seems to act the same, must be the same person."

This is again a very surface look at identity. I'm not saying this is bad subject material or even wrong, but it gets very old when every movie throws in you face how deep and interesting they are because they're about "identity" when really they're just about "stuff people do in situations" or applying a rigid concept of identity to some character's struggles.
Well, the point is that, as with any deal, you hopefully intended to keep up your end.

If you ever read stories about internal political wars at those places, you will realize they aren't so great to work there.

Specially taking into account the type of assemments being done to the employees, or which R&D unit is driving the main products (e.g. WinDev vs DevTools).

Yes, places like Microsoft System Research are great, but that is just a unit from the whole corporation. Same applies to the others.
Manning did expose war crimes which is an act of heroism. She had similar motivations to snowden. Unfortunately the means of whistleblowing was careless in comparison to snowden which ultimately damaged her goal and public understanding of her cause.

Maybe the lesson is if youre choose to take such a big risk for a moral cause you need to take every possible effort to not cause collatoral damage along the way.

I think the "having been a whistleblower in the most powerful government on the planet" part of Chelsea's story is considerably more risky than the "is transgendered" part. There aren't many people running around "gunning for" trans people in the same sense that there are people "gunning for" informants. Primarily in the sense that in the latter case they use actual guns.

Not really. Sure you can most likely tell a Brahmin by their surname. But anything below that in the caste hierarchy and hard to tell. For example in Gujarat, many lower caste people have last names that are same as Rajputs. They changed their names to avoid discrimination.

What? No. I don't see how those two things are at all comparable.

A lifetime service contract isn't an investment vehicle with variable valuation over time. It is a service contract.

Moreover, lifetime service contracts sold for a one time fee should always be regarded with a fiercely critical eye: without recurring revenue, how is the service provider realistically going to be able to provide that service at a profit indefinitely? At some point, they ARE going to drop it, or they've figured out a way to use that service to drive additional profits.
>irresponsibly put their government in an embarrassing position wrt every other country, friend or enemy

Did they put them in that position, or did they simply reveal the reprehensible position that the government had assumed?
> distrust of all government officials also elected Trump

I think that if HRC had immediately addressed the potential corruption revealed in those emails and stood behind her past actions boldly she'd be president now. She tried to ignore it and blame Russia/Wikileaks for her own words and deeds.

So I think the blame for Trump being elected is HRC's flawed strategy in dealing with the leaked info. It made her seem arrogant and above-the-law.

> anti-science culture

I'm curious what areas you'd point to where you think this is most prevalent. There's been a general decline in enlightenment values in our culture over the past 20 years, replaced by a preference for communities of shared belief. For all issues where science meets policy, holders of power have an incentive to simply create armies of believers rather than rational beings who can weigh the issues for themselves.
Shifting from Manual Mobile Testing to Automation
Walkability and density is a giant, giant factor, and no one seems to want change the status quo. Anecdata, but most of the 60+ year olds I know that spent their lives in the suburbs can barely walk, all of the 60+ year olds that live in my city walk faster than I do.
The problem is that there are only positive examples in the article. Of course that tunnels may collapse or be damaged during an earthquake.
This is a strange comment. I think many of us do a lot in the best interest of customers, whether or not it's the most profitable option. There's always a financial element involved, but I don't think it's a matter of "selflessness" to decide to put your customers and employees first and figure out how to make everything else work around that.
> ... as she is obviously inexperienced/mentally weak

Unless you can read mental states from behind an internet comment, there was no need to resort to ad hominem to characterize the OP.
it's on a different scale of threat though. It seems like a weird inclusion - the idea that being trans considerably increases the risk profile of someone who was an informant on the US military complex.
Looking over your program at Utrecht, it feels like the Business Informatics program is more geared towards general business processes with respect to technologies. The closest course at Utrecht to what we're envision with the Master's of Product Management is your Software Product Management elective.

It also seems like the expected roles for people coming out of your program would be general kinds of managers, consultants, or researchers.

There's also a certain underlying style and set of assumptions in the coursework in your program that, for lack of a better term, is European. Have you noticed that in the US that computer science theory usually means complexity theory, but in Europe, it often means automata theory? Sort of the same thing here. There's a strong emphasis in your program on knowledge networks, methods and processes, and so on. It's not that one is better than the other, it's just very different underlying assumptions and starting points for a curriculum.
It is possible with global or contextual error state.

This approach is used in iostream for example, and in a broken way in C library via errno. (Which does not work unless you check it very near.)

Similar approach is often used in databases and file systems, marking an object as dirty or broken.

Like the above, it is prone to ignoring errors and attempting to manipulate such object.

The order still matters. If you have $20 in your account and get hit with three debits for $6, $10, and then $30, processing them in order means the $6 and $10 debits go through, leaving you with $4 in the bank, then the $30 debit causes an overdraft and a single fee. Comparatively, processing the $30 debit first immediately causes an overdraft, and the $10 and $6 debits cause two more overdrafts for three total fees.

Either way, you're trying to charge $46 against an account with $20, but one method results in 1 fee and one method results in 3 fees. The issue of credits vs debits you mentioned can compound this issue.

Actually, the point of organizations like PMRC and MADD are for outright bans. As in, MADD espouses prohibition now as a goal (nobody can have alcohol because some people make bad decisions). PMRC wanted / wants all obscene material to simply not exist in music, and if they can't get that, then burnish them with a SCARLET LETTER (or sticker) so those who wish to live the Pure, Unstained Life of High Virtue should never have to engage with Low Class Expressions like Rap or Comic Books.
