This is an example of a more general problem with undercharging (or doing spec work) in any creative industry. If you don't charge what you're worth, perhaps because you're trying to be helpful or offering "mate's rates", then you may get one happy client but you'll also get underpaid. Then that client will happily recommend your (excellent value!) services to their friends and colleagues who are also looking for (excellent value!) services and will be happy to similarly underpay you. And so it goes on.

In my experience, there are really only two levels of pricing that work. You can work literally for free, or for some token payment so someone is an official client of your business. This is sometimes helpful very early in a business to start some sort of portfolio and establish a bit of credibility, but otherwise I think it should be reserved for genuine charity work where it's clear that it's a gift and not your normal working practice. Everything else should be charged at decent professional rates immediately, both so you don't undersell yourself and to dissuade potential clients who can't or won't pay decent professional rates and all the other similar potential clients in their network.
How tech companies are recognizing Pride Month
Where I live, and I assume in a lot of northern Europe, being on strike is not a valid reason to fire someone - if it's in the correct part of the contract cycle (the contract is 1,2 or 3 years and workers promise not to strike in return for the conditions in the contract). Strikes typically occur when the contract is up and a new one is being written.

Second - a company that would cross the unions by hiring new workers would be blockaded. First by the union itself, but very soon by other unions. For example a restaurant that doesn't pay the correct wages might not be able to get deliveries of certain products, garbage won't be picked up etc. Outside the entrance customers are handed flyers that the restaurant is mistreating staff. All of this is regardless of whether the restaurant staff wants to be union members and regardless of whether they are happy with their contracts.

And this is working very well actually - there is for example no need for minimum wages set by law. Strikes are rare, and "illegal/wild" strikes outside of contract periods are almost unheard of. Perhaps surprisingly, businesses are quite happy with this setup. Weaker unions would likely mean more unnecessary strikes, and definitely more regulation of things that are now covered by agreements.

I did research this a bit somewhat recently. People who have self immolated in protest have mixed results in realizing any change for their cause. I believe the guy who did this outside a powerful government official's office during the Vietnam war did manage to generate influence.
Use an app like the one we are releasing. It's specifically designed to solve this problem. People post what they want to do and others join. For now use meetup.com
I should add I meant for customers. They might well be treating employees like crap. But so does Ryan et.al. I suppose. As far as I'm aware they are at least not actively anti union and similar crazy things that Ryanair is known for.
Mayer is an amazing blues guitarist, and recognized as such. He tours with Pino Paladino as his bassist, a testament to his own chops!

And Jack White, while not a "virtuoso" has mastery of the rock guitar language. It's not immediately obvious to everyone, but his technique is flawless.
Those are quite different, as it is very easy to take a picture without seeing it, or take a picture and not notice something in it. You'd have to intentionally fail to reveal information.

And for that to carry any weight, the police should have to show that you had that information in the first place. If they knew you were filming a crime and you said you saw nothing, that should not be obstruction. It's just suspicious. It should be grounds for a warrant, which could be used to establish that you had captured the evidence and lied. Then it's obstruction.
Mathematics is usually taught as rote. Many, even at higher levels of academia, never realize that mathematics is a language. Truth be told, I'm not sure most are cut out to fully grasp much beyond rote.

I hated math. I hated it, with a passion. I was figuring out what area of right triangles was, when the teacher spoke from behind me. He said, "You know, you're just squaring the triangles and dividing that in half."

I realize how trivial and silly that is. But, it was that step that made me realize that the notation was telling me something. I realized that it was a language, one which I didn't understand and still hated.

I'd eventually get my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, all because I learned you could square a triangle, find the area of that, and divide it in half. I'm not sure how many folks can point to the exact moment their life changed? I can, and I am glad.

I don't know the solution, because math really can be hard. Not many folks want to learn that much. I am reluctant to say this, but maybe they don't really need to?
There will always be. What then? We stop producing cpus and wait for some magical new technology that prevents all bugs?
How many times can we effectively cry "The SOPA is coming!" before protest fatigue sets in? When the wolves are attempted into law over and again, something has to give and I'm not sure that corporate-congressional interest will be the first to blink.
> AFAIK the DHT routing protocol that CJDNS just replaced was not able to find optimal routes. Your packets would get to their destination somehow, but it's very unlikely that they would get there on the shortest path. Sounds like CJDNS has given up on trying to improve it, and is now purely a hobbyist VPN network with centralized control.

It's not really just about optimal routes. A pretty major problem with the DHT is that it is very chatty, and even edge nodes that might like to be "left alone" are often included in the conversation. This isn't ideal for any kind of low-power or mobile device. Plus DHT convergence is incredibly slow - not great for mobile devices or jumping between networks either. It actually turns out that sometimes a bit of centralisation drastically improves efficiency.
United and American fly to Newark and JFK respectively direct from Edinburgh, FWIW. And United fly to Newark from Glasgow, 50 odd miles away, too.
I've heard this before, but part of the appeal of the spreadsheet is that Patty from accounting or Joe from HR can modify it without having to ask any IT staff, including you.

So I don't think it's a foolproof scheme, unless your solution is also programmable/customizable, which is a lot of work.

Similarly: Kernel bugs! Once upon a time I spend a good week trying to reproduce a rare crash one of our users saw ever so often (just enough to get our attention, but not enough to get a repro case). Stack traces made no sense and just in general the whole crash made no sense the more I looked at it. Turns out it was a bug in XNUs pthread subsystem, a part where I would have never looked if it weren‘t for desperation, because, well, it‘s the kernel, it works, right?
Is this sarcasm?

It's pretty nice not having a phone at all, and checking on the internet maybe once a day or less.
>yes it happens, but software bugs happen every day where as if your system blue screened every day you know dang well you'd be on the phone with the hardware vendor for a refund / new system.

Well, since hundreds of millions of people use Skylake/Kaby Lake CPUs for 2 years now, and only now we learn about this, obviously this is not of the "system blue screens every day" variety but a very rare bug.
The alt-right is as much a reaction to a complacent, consistently-losing right wing establishment as it is to the rapid leftward shift of american politics in the last 13 or so years.
Placebos don't help. At best they provide temporary relief; on some people they don't even work. A placebo is like you car engine making a funny noise and the mechanic telling you to turn the stereo up so you won't hear it. Or, to make the analogy more appropriate, it's like the mechanic telling to come back twice a week so he'll turn the stereo on for you, while charging you $10 each time. Meanwhile the shop across the street charges $100 but actually takes a look at your engine.

Well, by definition the behaviour would be undefined so could go any which way. ;)

Modern day VM software has various levels of exception checking, and code to catch/mitigate/etc when bugs crop up.

So, a universe-capable simulator might have any kind of behaviour if/when a bug occurs. It doesn't need to be an unbounded, runaway scenario. :)
Are you implying anything?

This is not a good recipe for long-term stability or usability. Doing even simple things is horribly and unnecessarily complicated and feature creep is inevitable. This doesn't lead to innovation, just accumulation.
Not quite.

Back in the day the left-right thing happened over who backed the king of France or not, by where they physically stood in the room.

And it was very much a social rather than economical thing back then.

Keep in mind that right-wing has often been used synonymously with conservative. As in preserving the social status quo of classes and whatsnot.

Later on, with socialism/communism coming into play, workers parties and traditional leftist parties found much common ground.

In Norway we have this "hilarious" situation where we have two parties names Venstre (Left) and Høyre (Right), whole both are to the right politically speaking of Arbeiderpartiet (Workers Party).

BTW Venstre is a bit player in Norwegian politics these days, while the biggest parties are Arbeiderpartiet and Høyre (the two taking turns leading the government in cooperation with various smaller parties).

During the last 4 years Venstre has even acted as a underwriter of the Høyre lead government, even though they keep voicing disproval of their actual policies.
C'mon, innovation is clearly trickling down. It all began with Ken Parker:

I read a similar time saver quite some time ago that posited that if an article headline is asking a question, the answer is usually "no".
I live in the EU, and what I see is that the two sides ( progressives / modern conservatives ) almost say the same things with very subtle differences, and the real difference is the way they talk.

I saw a comment here that stated that a neoliberal won against a progressive which is right. But every poll shows that Bernie would have won against Trump. This basically means that the right wingers actually agree with the progressive talking points: global warming, health care, and a little bit of anti globalism. This also means that Hillary didn't represent these.

I've also seen here that there is there is no left wing push. Some talking points of Hillary are the best example of that, for ex. "vote for me because I'm a woman". Many people who think that there are no major differences between a man and a woman will think that this statement is sexist. There is a push to be kind with everyone and it is forced on people very hard ( NASA guy with the shirt ).

This is very real as you can see in many comments. This like racism against black people in the U.S: if you ask black people many will say that they never experienced it, same like conservatives, but this doesn't necessary mean that it doesn't exists.

My main point that the progressive movement has two sides: one with important issues which are physically influences our lives, and one which wants social change. IMHO the social changes they want aren't that great, and the means they try to achieve that are very very bad. The mainstream part of democrats turned to the social part, and that caused this change.

My question for liberals here, who just don't understand why 4chan changed: Do you think what I've stated here is true? Why not? If yes then why the connection between the alt-right and leftist push is wrong?
You'll probably have to mail the devs. The normal upgrade is $25 (half price) and I've seen no mention of further reduction but asking never hurts.
Yeah, Little Snitch shows just how much telemetry Apple macOS collects by itself. It's a bit annoying how noone ever touches on that - people keep Microsoft to significantly higher standard :(
Sorry, misunderstood when you said "Starting an airline is not a trivial undertaking, certainly not something you could hope to complete during a temporary downturn or use "market timing" like you would with equities.". I thought you were implying the founders of Norwegian spotted an opportunity and started-up during the downturn.

Outside of some state backed airlines, I would have thought any airline founded in the last 35 years will have started with 100% leased aircraft. For airlines that own their own equipment, in the first world at least, most of them tend to offload aircraft at the 17 to ~20 year stage (at which point they're usually sold on to leasing companies who then lease them out to charter/acmi operators or they find their way down to Africa or LATAM).

The problem with buying your own equipment (from a budget airline PoV) is that you can't benefit from newer model fuel efficiencies or improved pax capacity. They also put much higher pressure cycle loads on the hulls due to the increased rotation frequency of the short-haul point-to-point model (which reduces the serviceable life of the airframe and hence the re-sale value). Running a mixed leased/purchased fleet starts making more sense when your route network isn't dominated by short-haul.

As an example, Ryanair's average fleet age is < 6 years (across 300 aircraft).

No. I mean, there are still people in the industry today who think Java EE is the greatest, but I recall it making no sense the first time I saw it. The Java app server space was fractious at the time and I spent a lot of time with ATG Dynamo which was proprietary but had a fantastic design for the time and was very innovative. J2EE felt like a big step back. It got some adoption from IT architects who only know how to follow trends, but most of us just spent some time in the wilderness until Spring came along to rescue us.
Anecdotally, I see the reverse equally often.

Love the literate sql style. A lot of times we have to use temp tables instead of with statements though. In Vertica, all the withs of a query have fit in memory together. Using temp tables instead to create the logical sequence, you only need enough memory for each temp table and final query on there own. The cognitive effect is still the same. Define A, Define B based on A, Define C based on B, etc. but sequentially rather than recursively. When the queries are smaller, withs are more direct, a little less verbose, and usually more performant. However, with the datasets I'm working with, the queries are usually too big or I just don't know how big they will be as I start out writing. So I typically just use temp tables from the outset vs writing with withs only to have to rewrite it once I get "too big to fit in memory" errors.
Can you have it require both a fingerprint and password? Perhaps, requiring a different password for each finger? That is why you need open-source, so that you can program it by yourself.

Or to do like I, don't have cell phone. You can write notes on paper, even in code if you need to I suppose. Confuse thieves (including police, which count as thieves too in this case) by writing very confusing stuff.
I don't mind Intel keeping very quiet about fixed-in-microcode bugs that don't directly affect valid userspace programs, like

« Instruction Fetch May Cause Machine Check if Page Size and Memory Type Was Changed Without Invalidation »

or

« Execution of VAESIMC or VAESKEYGENASSIST With An Illegal Value for VEX.vvvv May Produce a #NM Exception »

but something like this should be announced clearly.

(I keep my microcode packages up to date, but I don't normally bother rebooting when an update comes in.)
While I prefer vanilla SQL to the current generation of ORMs, I think ORMs are trying to address a real problem--namely that SQL (despite being high level) isn't very abstraction-friendly. Abstractions in SQL can be expensive and often unpredictably so, despite how clever databases are today. I think part of the problem is the mismatch between the largely imperative OO paradigm and the largely declarative relational paradigm, but I suspect that there's some semantic impedance between SQL and a truly relational model which contributes to the problem.

It's pretty simple, we moved left too fast for even many on the American left, and there was a backlash. Most people want to do the right thing, and the left's brand is "nice for people" but past a certain point people need to have some social, political and economic stability and the changes just came too fast and hard for that.

I was a straight-up supporter of Occupy Wall Street. I know a lot of people who were. We all changed.
It normally helps "some", and rarely hurts performance. So you might as well enable it.
Premium != perfect. You pay for the extra speed, cache, etc.

And since a cheaper cpu can have the same or worse bugs, the point is moot.

You don't pay i7 vs i5 etc for better quality control.

For that you have to go to enterprise/server grade stuff that costs much more (Xeon). And even there, nothing is guaranteed to be perfect.

In fact, with the complexity of modern CPUs/GPUs it's a minor miracle that anything works at all. We have it better than ever...
Its why you can't treat hardware bugs and dismiss them flippantly like software ones.

LZ4 deserves a lot of respect, but it is merely a recent improvement on a very old idea.

It wasn't novel when Lempel and Ziv described it 1977 - the encoding idea itself is almost trivial, and was described before. However, they did prove the conditions under which this compression is asymptotically optimal, which was NOT at all clear or trivial at the time - and it is therefore named after them.

LZ4 is an implementation of the LZ77 idea that optimized run time first and compression ratio second. It is elegant and successful - but it has little novelty.
