So you don't believe a superior (her manager) was wrong to insinuate a question of whether she would participate in his sexual life?

What if she didn't complain to HR, rebuffed his advances, and he subsequently decided to demote her position, or cut her pay, or even just move her desk out of an office and into a cubicle?

Would it be alright then?

Bringing sexual advances of any kind within a situation where there is a power difference (ie, manager vs lower-level employee) is a recipe for disaster within a company. Ideally, it has nothing to do with being too sensitive about things sexual. While I'll agree with you that, in many cases, American views and such on sexuality are messed up, in this case it is pretty clear why this kind of thing isn't tolerated.

Between individuals on the same "level" within a company is one thing (but still frowned upon and should generally be avoided); provided the advance is innocuous enough (ie - asking for a date, for instance), and it isn't repeated if rebuffed - and the individuals aren't in any power difference (C-level to management, management to lower-level employee, etc) - then it may be permissible.

But even here - if I was an owner of a company - I would want this to be verboten, for the simple reason that should the advance be rebuffed (or worse, things go great - then something happens and things fall apart) - it can lead to strife between employees (at a minimum, the two involved, but it could easily lead to "side taking") - which can harm productivity, cohesiveness, and ultimately the image of the company should it become public knowledge.
This seems to be a pretty common trend with ad platforms. They start with the "dregs" (ie. diet stuff, teeth whitening, questionable beauty products, guru info products, etc.) and then leverage the revenue and benchmarks from that to ladder up and sell into larger more reputable brands. This is typically the case when there is strong direct response potential from the channel.

Once they gain major brand traction, there seems to be a big shift to catering more towards the big brands who care more about impressions and less about direct response, and who are fine paying very frothy CPMs for it. This typically coincides with a purging of the "lower quality" advertisers whom the big brands don't want to see their ads next to.

Happened with Google, Facebook, etc., so not really surprised to see it happening here with Pinterest.

Confusables are a real problem.

Some Cyrillic and Greek letters even look like Latin letters. And in some fonts '1' (one) and 'l' (ell) look the same even in Latin.

Dealing with these is much harder than with normalization forms. And confusables are a source of serious security headaches.

Funnily enough, one of the biggest issues I have observed with my parents using a desktop computer is "well where did that thing go that I was looking at yesterday".

Naked filesystems are intuitive to us as power users because we are in a mindset which many more casual computer users aren't. We understand that it's a hierarchy and that files have formats and extensions and file type associations and a whole list of technical details as to the how and why.

On the other hand, there are plenty of people who have no idea about this stuff - they will be thinking about the application they were using at the time and will expect that things they have "saved" are somehow associated with that application. They might not even associate a contact card or a photograph with being a "file"!

I feel like the iOS Files app makes a decent attempt at bringing features that we power-users enjoy - like tags, search, online storage - into an ultimately simplified model that is cognitively compatible with a much wider spectrum of users.

The ideal user interface to a filesystem is one that actually foregoes the idea of "files" (because formats and file type associations and extensions and things aren't intuitive to everyone) and instead treats photographs like photographs and contact cards like contact cards and emails like emails and webpages like webpages. It seems Apple are striving towards that. Did you notice in the keynote that, when dragging and dropping photos into an email, they were actually represented as photos and not as file icons?
Nah. I like working somewhere where ethics are taken seriously.

If you've been working for Uber for the last couple years (in an engineering role, and not visa-restricted), you need to have an answer for why you've remained someplace with so many serious ethical issues. And to be clear, "I needed to pay bills" is a real answer. But you need to have it and be willing to say it and defend it.
I think the Reuter's article leaves off important context. In order to explain what the blocking accomplishes, they say:

> Twitter users are unable to see or respond to tweets from accounts that block them.

But I don't think that's the issue here. I believe that if an account blocks you, you can still read tweets from that account if it's public: just log out. I don't have a Twitter account and I routinely read public tweets. The real claim, I think, is that the blocked users' comment is removed from the timeline of responses. In that sense, it is censored speech, since the blocked user was removed from the conversation.

I haven't thought about this enough to know if I agree with that claim that this is a valid First Amendment claim. But if there is one, I think it has to do with being able to participate in the overall conversation, not just an individual being able to view certain tweets while logged in.
I think the social conservativeness of the Midwest is also a huge negative for many.
From another FussyZeus comment:

> Well unless you plan to have a Startup that sells Time, the scarcity of time is rather irrelevant to Capitalism, no?
WHOA, NOW. Time is a zero-sum game. The scarcity of time is not even close to "irrelevant to Capitalism". Economists compare productivity gains as the ability to produce more widgets in the same amount of time.

The wealthy generally value their time much higher than the poor, so there is a spectrum. Are you saying that there's no value added in a company saving you time?

Tristan Harris even argues that there is an "attention economy". I worked at a tiny social media website in 2008+, which was effectively destroyed by the rise of Facebook. Hell, we even saw that as our users grew up and went to college, we lost their attention. The entire marketing industry is about competing for the attention of users, which is also a zero-sum game.
Does anyone know what minimum level of "homomorphism" is necessary to insulate the entity doing surveillance or analytics from legal action?

I ask this about the following contexts:

- government surveillance: does using a homomorphism remove the need for a search warrant?

- in-app analytics: does using homomorphisms allow a firm to consider data not disclaimed by the firm's privacy policy?

- research: when does a homomorphism eliminate the need for IRB approval?
You being in a relationship with, or having sex with, your direct manager isn't (just) about discomfort, it's about unprofessionalism.

There are plenty of people to have sex or relationships with. You don't need to look to your direct employees.
I've had IPv6 natively for 4+ years in San Francisco[0] on my residential cable connection. This appears to be one of the few things Comcast does right.

Without any extra effort the following sites (small sample from Alexa top 500) use IPv6:

* google.com

* youtube.com

* gmail.com

* facebook.com

* wikipedia.org

* netflix.com

Without IPv6 (no AAAA DNS records):

* reddit.com

* amazon.com

* twitter.com

* news.ycombinator.com

* imgur.com

* bing.com

* ebay.com

It's happening, slowly. ISPs who care are supporting it. A significant portion of my every day web traffic is over IPv6 and nobody has noticed. People on my local network are using it on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X and they don't even know what IPv6 is.

Google is clearly leading the IPv6 charge and has a statistics page[1] for those interested.

i surance is a big expense for a caregiver. getting a serious one off craiglist means he'll have to pay insurance out of that 25$ and individual bargain for those kind of things sucks. the only alternative would be to get an improvised caregiver, but that's worse under almost every other aspect
There was a time when running out of IPv4 addresses meant that ISPs and other providers _had_ to switch to IPv6, or they would run out of addresses (or spend too much acquiring them). With NAT and stuff, that risk has seemed to decrease significantly.

Google statistics show that nearly 20% of their traffic is over v6, which is honestly not bad. The USA itself is 35%, with no latency hit.

Someone converted our codebase into a multi threaded version, didn't realize that rand() is not thread safe as multiple threads were generating same random number from time to time.

PS: that someone was me
Background: I worked ~20 hours a week at a restaurant/grocery/greenhouse from age 15 to age 18, in addition to school, sports, and research.

When I have kids, they will not work jobs like bussing tables, or bagging groceries. I would support them taking on entrepreneurial activities like starting their own mowing/leaning/whatever business, but bagging groceries is a waste of time if you don't need the resources. If I was able to do it over again, I would do more to specialize in a skill set early on at the expense of less menial labor at 6.50/hr. Time is the most expensive resource we have, and the ROI on the current level of minimum wage jobs is little to none.
Not really. It's too long a drive from Denver/Boulder, so people end up moving north. It's got some stuff, but the Academy is really the only 'big' uni. and they don't really interact with local businesses as they are commissioned officers still. Different vibe from 'open' higher education.
I had a min wage job one summer. The work was grueling, and taught me that getting an education and working with my head rather than my back was worthwhile.

Speaking of the lack of education in proofs and popularizing math, do you (or anyone else here) know of good resources to practice and learn more about proofs? I've asked several professors and TAs in my CS program and they say "practice," but they couldn't point to any good tools for self-teaching and I don't really feel confident evaluating the material I've found on my own.

> The idea is that there should be a thread local random number engine – possibly hidden, but it might actually be exposed to the user; that’s still being decided. That will most likely be a Mersenne Twister – because that’s just the best all-round pseudo-random number generator, and it generates excellent “random” sequences.

I think this is a nice article, but this part stood out to me. I've heard many times here on HN that it's one of the worst non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generators in common use.

There's a huge difference between an article about the latest soccer match and an article like this: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/lionel-messi-is-impossi...

I feel this article exposes a monumental achievement that it warrants being of interest. I mean, the proof is in the pudding: it's gotten more comments and discussion going than 95% of the "Version X of [Piece of Software] released" articles (and I consider those to be semi-useful.)
The actual article does indeed address most if not all of the exact issues you just raised, for example:

Why aren't teens working?... They're being crowded out of the workforce by older Americans, now working past 65 at the highest rates in more than 50 years. Immigrants are competing with teens for jobs... College-bound teens aren't looking for work because the money doesn't go as far as it used to.

Perhaps the headline is asking a "willfully ignorant" question; but the reason is to get you to click through to the article, which does seem to be trying to put forth some theories.

Stay the course and tune out the fashionistas. We maintain large codebases in all three, and I can only remember one case where any of the languages got in the way (PHP's poor threading support). And even that case wasn't a show stopper--we just used fork() instead.

Great business idea BTW. If I lived in a larger city I would definitely try it out!

I tried to remove libcpre1 on SLES 12SP1 and install again to downgrade. We are using cluster management software which automatically send yes to all zypper commands. After hitting enter on cluster management system it deleted about 700 packages in a few seconds and we lost tools from ssh to rpm which is crucial to reinstall lost packages. We can only access system via console connection. The only option is left to reinstall from yesterday backup but I wonder why this package remove all software on the system
I don't see how it is any different then something like back country skiers, or base jumping. There are is a wide spectrum of risk in a lot of "extreme" sports.

Not trying to make this an attack either, I just see a lot of parallels elsewhere in other sports -- and it seems a little hypocritical to me that the climbing community would even be divided over this.

Furthermore, sticking with the BC skiing example, many people (resort skiers) would see it as irresponsibly risky. But we know that BC skiers take all the preparations they can, from monitoring avalanche reports and forecasts, taking training classes, learning how to probe and escape avalanches with partners. Similarly, Alex very much spends a lot of time preparing for his free-solos, in all aspects of planning -- which makes it much more calculated then "irresponsibly" risky to me.
Yeah pretty much just that:

rm @{g *.bak}

`g` returns a JSON array of file names and the @{} tells the shell to expand the array into parameters.

This way you don't need to worry about spaces in file names or other problems with escaping.

The first example

"She said "you cant do this", didnt she?"

Parses the same way in Bash:

$ for A in "She said "you can\'t do this\!", didn't she?"; do echo -$A-; done
-She said you-
-can't-
-do-
-this!, didn't she?-

So I'd have thought this would be a given. It doesn't look so unintuitive – though I'm not sure if the results are the same for the same reasons.

So I went to take a look at the Bash source code. Which is (expectedly) pretty hairy. Top-of-stack quoting characters are referenced through-out, to enable a `pass_next_character` which seems to me similar conceptually to `ignore_special_chars`.

> You mean the time when programming was done with plug boards?

Yes :-), my point was that we had this sort of open architecture for decades through the ability to run any program we like in our computers and these programs being able to use any file they want. Of course they need to know the files' internal structure (at least for almost all binary files and many text files), but this is a protocol issue - the files enable the creation of interfaces but what those interfaces look like is up to the programs. FWIW over the years, people move towards common formats - both binary and text based - that allow different programs to work together (from plain text files, to rich text, HTML, images like PNG and JPG, to Postscript and PDF).

I may offer you an angle here:

xpy uses x and y because x and y could be vectors, but can also be matrices

mm can not be used for vectors, only for matrices.

Of course, the main reason is that these are names used for the last 40+ years in the standard for this type of software, BLAS.
Fantastic. I can't figure out where are these taken from?
I guess sites like Homejoy have a fundamental problem: professional/customer meet face-to-face, so when they find a good fit they have an incentive to cut a deal off the site books. The platform ends up littered with bad professionals, abusive customers and lots of complaints to manage.
If you're talking about First Hill, you're comparing a single story standalone McDonalds in a neighborhood of highrises to a Starbucks taking up a single retail storefront in a full-block hospital complex. Not quite equivalent real estate.
> NAT, for all its problems, has more or less solved the IP address problem.

A bunch of very large-scale network operators (like Comcast, T-Mobile USA, Verizon, and Facebook) seem to strongly disagree with that, given how eagerly they've deployed IPv6 to get away from the hell that is IPv4 NAT and CGN.

Yes, IPv6 has lots of complexity/flaws/idiosyncrasies/weirdnesses (multicast, mobility, slaac, ndp, prettyprinting / the colons, extension headers, etc.) that mostly only look good through the rose-tinted glasses of the 90s and significantly slowed down deployment -- and in the end mostly ended up as "difference for difference's sake".

128 bits of addressing space and getting away from IPv4 NAT were unambiguously good. 128 bits is a lot, but memory/bandwidth is just going to get cheaper (for slow links you should use header-compression anyway), and it was better to go whole hog and skip 64 and go to 128 to avoid a future 64->128 transition. Given how the 32->128 transition is going, this seems like it was an excellent decision.
Some systems do up to 1mbps. MIDI for example is nowhere near this. It's not the right protocol for media or bandwidth intensive applications but for control systems or reading sensors its often enough.
Your experience is very unevenly distributed, at least for the second item. Around here, restaraunts, car washes, and retailers will hire anyone, they all have signs up. The car wash starts at $15/hr...good teenager money. I was just speaking to a an established restaurant owner who is raising menu prices so he can try to pay more to keep bus boys and servers as the market is so competitive. Which is what would be expected in a tight labor market. I do not see a lack of retail and restaurant jobs, or those jobs being taken by old people.
I really like DriveFS, it's too bad I can't run it on my PC with Secure Boot :(
And also: scripts evolve. People may well start combining various diacritical marks in ways not done before.

Also, it can be useful to decompose in some cases. For example, it's useful for removing diacritical marks, which can be useful for fuzzy searches. Hangul is really phonetic, not syllabic, so there it's the reverse: decomposed forms are most useful, except when you need to think in syllables.

I would say mm and mv name the types of the arguments, like a kind of Hungarian notation, which makes them okay. I think `ab`, `ax`, `axpy` make the problem worse: in the first two a and b are matrices and in the last a is a scalar. As for `kx`, anything named `k` is usually supposed to be an integer like everywhere else in mathematics (why not `ax` then?). As for scal-scale and nrm-norm, I have no idea why they did that, it seems wrong to me too.

Furthermore, it's a specialist expert subdomain—the names are already so standard that everybody who needs them already knows them or looks them up in a second. So I don't see "not guessable" as a valid criticism.
