That is also not true (except that it is an up-hill battle -- I agree with that). A "Tameny Claim" is an exception to at-will employment, and the rules around discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and discharges in violation of public policy are different. California follows the "McDonnell Douglas" burden shifting process at the summary judgment stage for identifying where the presumption is, and who has to show/prove what.[1][2]

Ultimately, at trial the burden of proof is on the employee, but the standard of proof is low -- more likely than not, which is basically 50.1%. If the employee survives summary judgment, their chances of winning (or settling favorably) are probably pretty good.

[1] See, e.g., https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?q=Diego+v.+Pilgrim+U...

[2] The burden shifting process is:

"When a plaintiff alleges retaliatory employment termination ... as a claim for wrongful employment termination in violation of public policy, and the defendant seeks summary judgment, California follows the burden shifting analysis of McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green (1973) 411 U.S. 792 [36 L.Ed.2d 668, 93 S.Ct. 1817] to determine whether there are triable issues of fact for resolution by a jury. [Citation.] In the first stage, the `plaintiff must show (1) he or she engaged in a "protected activity," (2) the employer subjected the employee to an adverse employment action, and (3) a causal link existed between the protected activity and the employer's action.' [Citation.] If the employee successfully establishes these elements and thereby shows a prima facie case exists, the burden shifts to the employer to provide evidence that there was a legitimate, nonretaliatory reason for the adverse employment action. [Citation.] If the employer produces evidence showing a legitimate reason for the adverse employment action, `the presumption of retaliation "`"drops out of the picture,"'"' [citation], and the burden shifts back to the employee to provide `substantial responsive evidence' that the employer's proffered reasons were untrue or pretextual."

The "randomness" of QM is merely an aspect of the discipline humans have designed, in order to digest the predictable parts of the systems examined.

We know, that due to differences of scale, and due to the fact that we must make predictions about systems in motion, as they exist, we must divorce ourselves from the concept of control.

But, the "randomness" is not assuredly an innate component of reality. It is simply how we deal with the circumstances as they have happened to confront us.

We have a tool that we use, in order to inspect reality. The information that the tool provides to us is practical and useful, but still represents only an estimate of unknowable facts.

All cryptocurrencies are ponzi schemes. The early adopters get richer because more people come into the market later. Eventually the increasing values due to more interest will have to stop, whether because people lose interest or because everybody's already in the pool. At that time whether the late comers are totally screwed or just don't make a profit like the early adopters depends on what exactly happens.

Cryptocurrencies are the baseball cards of a new generation of wealthy libertarians (they have no inherent value like a useful commodity, and they have no backing of a powerful government. They just have value because some people decided they are valuable.) How badly the next financial crisis effects those people will determine how much cryptocurrency values are adjusted.

In addition to what others have said, perl also directly exposes errno via $!:

$ perl -E 'unlink("/etc/passwd"); say (0+$!)'
13
$ grep 13 /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h
#define EACCES 13 /* Permission denied */

Of course $! is a special dual-val so if you treat it as a string you get the nicer strerror(3) equivalent:

$ perl -E 'unlink("/etc/passwd"); say $!'
Permission denied

I think this is right. If not a deliberate poison pill, implementation of the ACA was a strong "foot in the door" technique for those who want single payer. Though, even before the ACA, the government is deeply involved in the system (employer based tax incentives, Medicare, etc)

I don't find that surprising though. I think Obama himself said that ACA was just a start and would have to be revisited. (Citation needed, I know.) What's amazing is just how bad conservatives have been at articulating the free market case for health care and insurance.

When you commit your changes, it's similarly easy to inspect package.json changes, and only commit the lines you want [1].

This change increases the chance that what you have working locally is reproducible from "source". IMHO that's a very important goal, while debate over convenience of omitting --save vs --no-save is superficial. Obviously there are 2 groups and one will be unhappy either way, but does that justify calling it "beyond stupid"? (I could maybe see that if you had actual data that 90% people want --no-save...)

Also, seems you can config old default by `npm config set save false` (with the risk one day you'll work on another machine and be surprised by uncustomized defaults).

It's an interesting comparison.

With IE, Microsoft was influencing what the web was viewed with via its control of the client - Windows.

Google is influencing what the web is viewed with by simply being such a key part of the web itself, and using its weight from that direction instead.

(One could argue that they have Android for the client, but as a percentage of web users it's still far from what Windows had in the IE6 days.)

Firefox won back the web by having a great product, grassroots evangelism, and a Microsoft who badly neglected their competing product for many years. They left an opening.

Chrome might be losing its lustre but it's certainly not being treated the same way. I think Firefox's new battle for market share might be harder than it was vs IE, simply because Google is still so active on this front. In response, the only real new thing in our arsenal is hindsight, which I guess is what the VLC example above is a result of.

If we stopped all emissions instantly, temperatures would still continue to rise for decades due to the CO2 that is already in the atmosphere. We are going to need some kind of carbon capture technology especially considering that emissions are not likely to decline let alone stop any time soon.

Incidentally, it is my understanding that coal use is already declining rapidly. In many cases, it is being replaced by natural gas: certainly not ideal, but better.
> The front page had this interactive realtime story of how Hillary is supposedly winning by overwhelming margin, when it was very apparent that that's opposite of the truth.

I don't remember that at all. I remember the chances of winning, but that is not in any way a claim that she is winning by a large margin. In fact, reading the articles during the campaign and during election day, there was a lot of talk about even though polling data read one way, Trump wasn't out of it.

As a long time Perl programmer myself who has been doing Python for the last three years, I have to say that it is much easier to write unintelligible Perl code than Python. Not that you cannot write some gross things in Python if you try, but the language defaults towards readability and the community strongly encourages it.

I recall a great talk a couple years ago at OSCON that Damian Conway gave about how you could essentially turn Perl into a custom language that exactly fit your needs. I walked out of there thinking "wow! That is incredibly awesome, and yet I would never consider it for a business environment." Perl is an appealing language for people who like languages. I count myself as one of those. But I cannot deny that Python makes so much more sense for teams of more than one person.
I get 165ms for my 8-bit homecomputer emulator which is 534KB compressed asm.js (http://floooh.github.io/virtualkc/), and it seems the first call into the code takes another 500ms on Chrome (probably for JIT warmup). Bigger apps like UE4 or Unity demos are several times bigger and can take seconds to compile.

I'm pretty sure Tesla is referring to her position vs her qualifications here. A company won't usually hire people into senior positions if their qualifications aren't adequate. It's then a case of the employee being promoted up the ranks in line with their performance.

It sounds like Tesla is saying she was promoted, even over others with higher qualifications, precisely because of her contributions.

In jobs that I've had over the years, I've also corrected mistakes made by more senior colleagues and made suggestions that they have not made. But I had no expectation to suddenly be paid as much or more than them.
Wikileaks – Vault 7: Pandemic
I used to use perl regularly. It was installed a lot of places and was superior to the other common options. The tooling for things like python,.net langs, and C++ are decades ahead now. It's just less error prone to use those. Part of that is because of Perl's grammar; part of that is the culture of the language.

Also, a lot of the CPAN modules have been orphaned for over a decade and npm/matt's script archive level quality on average.

Interesting, curious specimens, but not quite "normal", not quite... human.

He is Mexican himself, of course, but like myself and other privileged Mexicans, also a bit of an outsider.

I don't think you see my point. There is a reason why I wrote "due to battles in Congress that simply a small government would not have (or be able to sustain)."

Mandates, turf battles, happen in large corporations as well as government. Chiefdoms, out of touch executives, in large corporations are as common as partisan battles in Congress.

Small governments, like small businesses can operate with a certain quickness and laser focus that larger organizations do not operate under. Which was a point of the article, large banks were ignoring small business lending in these small towns.

> I would be utterly shocked if they didn't have some advantage that existed purely as a result of them being a government agency

I believe you shall be shocked. The state of Tennessee actually barred them from extending service to other towns because Comcast lobbied/bribed the state.

The reason they put in fiber is because the locally owned power municipality needed the fiber to monitor for down lines. The municipality claimed the cost savings for having employees drive around every time the power was cut paid for itself in a few years. The fiber broadband itself is a profit center.
