Yeah I've heard the same sentiment. I think people feel rude phoning because they feel rude ignoring calls, so if they call they're making the other party feel responsible for answering. This is silly of course.
I've always had issue with this advice for this very reason. Worse, when people sanitize in and out of the database. Double encoded html just cracks me up.

I'm a big fan of not necessarily sanitizing, but treating it appropriate in context. This may mean removing characters, or mapping them, or just delimiting the entire thing.

To that end, I argue that you should not necessarily sanitize on the way to the storage mechanism. You should only sanitize at the boundaries. So, a web view should make sure any strings are treated as strings. A database layer should make sure query parameters are not able to alter the query. Etc.

(All of this is trying to simply reinforce your point.)
Looks like the story is misleading, as a forum post on the source indicates [1].

I don't like the use of the word "obvious" because of the pejorative connotations, but to me it seemed pretty self-evident when reading for effect (rather than the read-for-"content" that seems more common around here) that this piece should be taken as self-reflective and more than a little ironic. It's all the little things: word choice, framing of all the characters (author, father, author's husband, brother, brother's wife), and in particular the structure of the ending. It's the sort of thing you read in English Comp classes to recognize those signposts; if it's something that isn't regularly apparent to you, maybe it's a subject worth exploring further.
This is also merely anecdotal, but I don't recall having ever received more than a few spam emails in either my Gmail or Fastmail inboxes.
I'll do that. Thanks for the answer.
I know it's blasphemous... but wouldn't mind seeing Haiku as an electron target platform. But I've thought that would be a good way to go for many things since first playing with ChromeOS.
That's a samba vuln, not a FreeBSD vuln in particular ...

Further, if you were worried about attackers or hardening a system, etc., you wouldn't be running samba (or anything like it).

I'm talking about a remote-root vuln in the FreeBSD kernel or in any of the default system daemons that were bundled with an OS release (like openssh, crond, syslogd, etc.)
There does seem to be some source, as (now, not when you posted) discussed in that thread. Here's a pastebin (taken from that thread) with some filenames, including, for example, usb drivers

Yup, this one. It's a common tactic to bring up the significant other when it seems like the conversation might be going in a non-platonic direction and you want to head it off. It's a way to avoid taking on the personal risk related to giving an outright rejection.
But couldn't the contextual email data be used to supplement the global personal data google already has on you? I don't understand why they would willingly forgo this data.
Such systems are either signed, and thus barely used, or anonymous and thus easily exploited.

Journalists that could speak with people at length and confirm the story by further research still weren't willing to publish based on anonymous sources. This is in part because anonymous accusations can be a great tool in a defamation campaign.

Furthermore, publishing anonymous claims without due-diligence discredits future anonymous claims. It might even back arguments like "Those sexual harassment claims always turn out to be smear campaigns".
Except for... potentially... the chickens?
The change that occurred was a reduction in pressure and coercion for women to accept "traditional" roles. I think we can be confident that reducing that pressure is a positive step.

I just think the dollars aren't there: (1) email itself is fading vs text and various social media and (2) 98% of the population reads 98% of their email through the generic mail app on their phones that doesn't display Google's ads anyway.
I loaded 5 tonnes of sand into my 4runner and now it's ruined, Toyota claims a 4Runner is not a 5 tonne truck won't give me my money back or honor the warranty, I swear the mechanics were laughing at me.
I'm fine to let them scan my emails for spam filter, yet they use it as an excuse to justify their data collection and other things they do with my data, which is unacceptable for me. How would I know if they are going to do things against my interests one day? Ads targeting is already against mine.

I used to see Google as a stalker. How naive I was. There are billions of people being stalked, exploited, and the whole process is automated. It comes to me that users are not victims of stalking, they are lab rats.

Now Google stopped reading emails for ads, but they'll still read for other purposes, which still makes me as a user feel insecure. I value my privacy, I have my dignity, I shouldn't be a lab rat that they can just observe however they want only because they provide free cheese.

Even if I start using a paid account to stop them from reading my emails (assume paid account with better privacy protection is possible), I couldn't stop them from reading others'. Stopping the data collection of one user won't change the situation, they still have other lab rats' data they could collect and analyze, which enables them to learn or predict other rats' behaviors.

The worst thing is, Google is not the only company doing this right now. Surveillance technologies are developing, it's like every data company has grown their teeth and become more thirsty for blood.

There always seems to be misunderstanding about this - Vue only does "2 way binding" for local state within the component, and is purely syntactic sugar around you coding a setter/getter yourself. That's all it is.

Any cross-component communication is done with events/mutations/actions, ideally with a central state store.

This offers the perfect mix of readable, understandable, composable, testable state architecture without the constant verbosity of binding everything yourself.
Isn’t that assuming you are using the web mail and not en email client?
Even despite that, it's still better than coal. The costs are just more concentrated, and therefore more apparent. But the fact it's concentrated also make it at least possible to contain and cleanup. No one would even attempt to cleanup the environmental damage caused by coal, and it would cost vastly more than hundreds of billions. The estimated deaths are much larger than from nuclear accidents.

If we had invested more in Nuclear it would be less of an issue. We've invented much safer reactors, and more efficient ones that produce much less waste. Probably much more would have been developed if the investment was there.
I appreciate you not deleting your comment (so far I've seen two).

It is completely legit to see it differently and to have a completely different experience. All I can relate is what I have seen in the last 25 years in the Bay Area. Having seen the effect in action early in my career (both people opting out after they said they would and other sorts of moves which affected relationships) I sought to understand it and came to my current appreciation of the various points of view.

Before I posted I had checked in with a friend of mine who is a contract recruiter and they seemed to feel my understanding of the situation was both correct and that this effect is fairly universal. It doesn't mean that it is of course. The next time you have a chance to talk with someone, in a safe and informal matter, who is in the hiring 'food chain' of something you consider "good" startup, ask them what they think. Nothing feeds a discussion like good data.
That's fair. In many developed countries sexual harassment laws extend to any situation where there is a power imbalance such as in education or in housing (landlord vs. tenant).
A fascinating document, but I find it far-fetched that every programmer needs be intimately familiar with capacitor timing to use RAM efficiently, let alone write efficacious programs.

As languages without MMM become more popular, it's really up to the compiler authors (or at least a subset of them) to get all of these details right.

The support is first rate. I've seen their developers on Github helping to track down a synchronisation problem that could have either been with the open source tool, or Fastmail.

Normal earplugs definitely will kill certain frequencies and change what you are hearing drastically, however using Etymotic style earplugs are a lot better, as they negate the high pressure waves, but still let a broad range of frequencies through - and they still allow normal talking levels when away from the music so you don't have to keep taking them in and out.

I'm curious: if you were somehow in his position -- and were now actually genuinely apologetic, were actually blind to your own actions, were actually sorry for the harm you've done --

How would you word your apology such that it couldn't be interpreted in this (self-serving, not actually sorry) way?
There are sufficiently many aspects of air quality (NOX, PM2.5, PM10, O3, SO2, CO, CO2, VOCs, humidity) that a basic trustworthy monitoring station would set you back at least $500. I'd say get a trustworthy temp/humidity/CO2 sensor, since those are the only ones you really emit yourself, and get the remaining data from your local environmental info agency - check e.g. aqicn.org .

Edit: is your air filter a HEPA unit? (Does it look like a big car engine air filter?) Do you change the filter every 6 months? Those should help.

"the reconstructed audio sounded terrible" - I think this is referring to the amount of static noise in the reconstructed waveform. Indeed, the SNR clearly shows the reconstruction is slightly worse than the downsampled waveform. As mentioned in the post, I strongly believe this is due to the limited amount of training I performed. The number of epochs of training data in my case was only 10 while the paper this project is based on trained for 400 epochs. During training I noticed a strong dependence on training epochs and perceptual performance.

Disclaimer: I know nothing of Buddhism, I haven't even read the Wikipedia page

I believe some Buddhism teaches something along the lines of: personal possessions are bad, and freedom is found in not owning anything.

What is "proper software development"?

Front-end dev moves fast because the web moves fast. It's gone from simple documents to complex application delivery in a decade. Backend dev is perfectly complicated with build toolchains and deployment pipelines so why is the frontside somehow not allowed to evolve? None of this is really required and nobody is forcing you to keep up.
None of the things you mentioned exist yet, though.
You're arguing a point that's irrelevant to my conclusion, but it's difficult to see the rule of law as anything other than part of our foundation. Remove it and a whole lot of things stop working in a hurry.
Upvote! 'nuff said.
Looks really good: one possible suggestion would be to allow sharing/reuse of indexes. Let me commit the built index to git and then have someone else checkout and use the index that was prebuilt.

One (potentially paying) alternative would be to provide a precompilation service. Not sure if your index generation can be parallelized, but potentially you could take an archive of the code (or pull directly from Github or Bitbucket or any other repo endpoint) then spin up a large EC2 instance (or the equivalent for your cloud of choice) and accelerate the generation of the index. For large codebases it may provide a good boost.
Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, I'll put the code on github for the Flems module during the weekend. I think the intro might have been a bit confusing as there's actually 2 parts to this.

Flems the module:
A "js webapp / module" named Flems, which is a Web sandbox/playground that can easily be customized through options & embedded on any site (think programatically setting up playgrounds for example code in documentation etc.).

Flems.io the website:
Then there's Flems.io which was launched here, that is a website using the Flems module, and on top of that puts all the state inside the URL. This allows for easy sharing, forking & editing of code examples.

Hope that clears it up a bit

Don't know if it might make sense to do another Show HN for the module once it's up on github?

"applying a similar technique in the frequency domain", "Maybe training an image reconstructor on the short term spectrogram" - This is what I originally thought to do. However, this approach suffers from information loss whenever you transform from the frequency domain back to the time domain. Since the goal was super-resolution in the time domain, working in the time domain is more sensible.

By your logic, the NSA isn't recording your calls or emails, just filing them away for classification?
Of course access is the important thing.

But then again, in the context of the story, it doesn't change anything. Google still has access to your email. That it is not "reading" for the purpose of ads is just a minor thing that doesn't impact your privacy/security in any way (in the terms that you are describing).

You are right that it's not illegal because it's not within the scope of a company.

What I meant is that the EEOC decided to draw a line, and aside from the "in the context of a company" requirement, the behavior in the stories I've heard definitely crosses that line rather than just being an uncomfortable and sketchy situation.

I would argue however, that because VC's are holding the money and entrepreneurs are trying to raise, it might not be as bad as a boss/employee power dynamic, but the power is certainly held by the VC in the situation.
I didn't provide that to indicate a confidence level in the guilt of the accused, but to say that the reason we have due process is because serious allegations should be treated seriously, and the comments section of a tech 'blog isn't the place to act as judge, jury, or executioner.

Else we're little better than places that hold mock trials and summary executions.
workplace has nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately this isn't true, from a legal point of view; in many jurisdictions, the legal definition of SH is specifically tailored (and constrained) to "the workplace".

Mind you I'm not talking about what's "slimy", "invasive", or what infringes on one's natural rights as a human being or anything about that. But rather, the legal definition. Which doesn't always jibe with what people would or like it to be.

I agree my reply was not helpful, but there was a point I was trying to make:

Sometimes people who are keen to defend harassers might do so because they exhibit similar behaviours themselves or hold similar beliefs and want to defend themselves.

Here is an example from this very story: Caldbeck tweeted in support of Uber: "Also mob mentality w @Uber right now. Guilty before proven innocent on everything".

I genuinely think it's worth self-examining one's motivations if someone's first instinct is to defend the man in such a case. I say this without trying to accuse anyone, sexism is subtle and affects everyone, and it's through self examination that we can grow and improve.
While its reads snarky I kind of agree.
> I'm one of those people that already has a hard time hearing in environments with background noise for some reason.

I bet you're also one of those people who has high attention to detail in life, is aware of most things going on around you, etc. (aka highly sensitive person).

I find that moving to another country and NOT learning the language helps :). It makes the background noise non-sensical, and thus relieves a ton of mental effort.

And if they used the same people, they get better at playing the game, it gives the appearance of a game that is easier than it actually is.
it matters exactly because of what you are saying.

You do have protections against someone reading your email at Google. Both from a expectation of privacy, but also from a company perspective. You also do have some non-expectation of privacy (if, for example, the US government wants to read your google email, they can ask for it and they eventually will).

The day someone with a brain and an opinion on Kim Kardashian at Google reads your email, there is a HUGE difference from when Google is "reading" your email for ads/spam/spelling/whatever.

You don't want to blur that line being wishywashy with language. You want to know that difference. The fact that it could happen is why you need that clear separation between "machine reading" and "a person reading".

The article is well known and the author Ulrich Drepper is also well known in the FOSS world for his work on the GNU C Library. [1]

So I was surprised to find that he did not have a small English language Wikipedia page, even though there were pages in German, French, Norwegian, Japanese and Persian.

Oh, "that can't be right - I'll create one!", I thought. (By translating one of the existing pages.)

But I could not! The page "is protected from creation" [2].
