The timing and delivery of Dave's "I'm a creep, I'm sorry." mea culpa now seems more logical to me.

A person who has committed transgression B, which is one-level more reprehensible and more opaque than transgression A, will admit to A in the hopes of forestalling a deeper inquiry into B.

I don't know what to call this rhetorical tactic (fallacy?), but I imagine sex offenders must employ it regularly to mitigate public backlash.
It looks like Donald Trump made it.
Do mind that the concept videos of the boring companys product does include not-car carriages. It's still a step away from cars, even if it's a small step.
I agree with you. Thanks for bringing this up to the comment I made in rage and in haste.

Maybe victims' privacy can be protected while removing a predator from the setting.
Great for companies that measures productivity by keystrokes per minute. (sarcasm)
Most of new features are useless, so it does not matter that they are buggy.

Only consistently useful features require bug-fixing. It is better to spend more time fixing bugs on few useful features after they implemented and tested by users, than spend time polishing all features (including useless features) up-front.

I think you are misunderstanding my remarks in some way. Nowhere did I use the phrase "not taking no for an answer."

I am not talking about normal situations where it is possible for clear, unambiguous communication to take place. I am talking about a gray zone that makes it inherently challenging. I have written about this before:

http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-gray-zon...

And I am saying we need to work at fostering a culture where people in power default to an assumption that if there is any doubt, they need to err on the side of assuming "This is about business, not romance. Period." Because my firsthand experience and pieces like the one under discussion agree that, all too often, a woman just can't seem to adequately signal "romance is NOT on the table here" and also remain on good working terms with a man in power. That is exactly the point I am trying to make. It has nothing to do with asserting that men don't take no for an answer.
Or use a dedicated uid for the daemon. You probably want that anyway.
>The semi-forgotten term for the browser is user agent. Point is, it really should act on behalf of the user.

The user agent concept is long dead and buried. Modern web browser is more like a virtual OS, a platform for running arbitrary code loaded from the internet, a hosting environment for temporary lending computing power of user's device and its network access to whomever was able to lure the user to their website.

This is less a problem with the code being well commented and more a problem with it being difficult to understand. Comments can help clarify a difficult to understand block of code, but they don't make that code more readable, which doesn't really solve anything when you go to maintain it.

The fact that the code is unreadable is because it's written by a ML expert. I'd say it's actually higher quality than you'd usually get from academia, but nowhere near what you'd see outside of that. Academic code serves a very different purpose than production code. It's meant to prove a point and usually not used after. There simply isn't incentive to write well tested maintainable code.
I'm well aware that there must be an element and a selector for that element. But this is exactly how CSS works as well, it's separation of concerns. Only recently have inline styles become trendy, much to my dismay.

The total absence of templating syntax is a deliberate decision. It enables one to start from an HTML mock-up or static page, and build interactivity on top of that without changing any HTML.
A minor point, but "...because of things like online shopping, which has put hundreds of thousands of retail workers out of a job."

Makes me wonder... the method of product selection and delivery have changed from in store browsing and carry out, to online browsing and delivery. Instead of sales personnel and cashiers, it involves warehousing (to a larger degree) and delivery vehicles. Employment in sales/cashiers therefore would drop, while employment in warehouses and delivery companies would have increased.

What are the relative ratios? For every x retail jobs lost, how many y 'logistics' jobs are created? Once automatic warehouses and autonomous vehicles are pervasive, is it a 100% loss?
I've actually long been tired of the whole survivorship bias-based advice industry/PR technique.
Why is it a given that Intel have to be there? It maybe be a market that they are in fact not geared toward. Just because there is a market doesn't mean they need to be there, doesn't mean they can make money and doesn't necessarily mean their core market will go away.

Many times companies will try to get into new markets or channels as a hedge, just in case their cash cow goes tits up. I give them credit for seeing that it was right to bail.

Closing a $700m unit and laying people off is a pretty big admission of a mistake - they just see there's no viable course correction. Giving up is sometimes the best option.
For example, take a look at Cheryl's blog: https://cherylyeoh.com/2017/07/03/shedding-light-on-the-blac...

It was suggested on LtU that Girard explicitly addressed this connection, although it may still be somewhat rarefied; see the "Added in print" note at the bottom of logical p. 131 of http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/01680072889... .
> By the way: any analysis on how the victim of abuse made sub-optimal decisions is _always_ victim blaming, even if you add a disclaimer stating otherwise.

If I leave my car running with the keys in it in a bad part of town, and my car gets stolen, the thief is still totally to blame, but don't you think there are better precautions I could have taken? Is there a way to discuss that without immediately shutting it down as victim blaming?

FWIW, I do NOT think Ms. Yeo did anything resembling the car key example above. I think everything she described (having drinks in a group with friends and business partners) is absolutely something anyone should be able to do without fear of being on the receiving end of what Mr. McClure did. But I still think there should be a way to have honest conversations about taking precautions against crime, that we for some reason think are acceptable to have in all other discussions of crime EXCEPT sexual assault.
For a creator who is wholly dependent on ad revenue, The Algorithm is everything. It doesn't matter if anyone actually likes your content, just that they register ad impressions. You're naturally led towards clickbaity tactics and ephemeral content. The Algorithm has started to strongly favour topicality and frequent uploads, so creators who produce a small quantity of very high-quality videos are effectively being penalised. You need to follow every whim of YouTube's discoverability system and you're in deep trouble if CPMs suddenly decline.

If most of your income is from Patreon and merch, your incentives are completely different - your most profitable action is to convert a casual viewer into a loyal fan. You're incentivised to create meaningful content with deeper values than mere entertainment, because that's what induces people to buy a T-shirt or support you on Patreon. You have a stable and sustainable level of income, regardless of what The Algorithm decides to do this week.

I think that patronage and merchandising is overwhelmingly better for creators, consumers and the wider culture. You're beholden to nobody except your most loyal fans. You can make a living from doing something with very niche appeal, as long as there are a small number of people who are really passionate about it. You don't have to pay any attention to "virality" or "shareability", because view counts are practically meaningless to you. If you're doing something controversial or challenging, you don't have to worry about YouTube demonetising your content or sponsors pulling out.
Very engineer here. The office is in Chattanooga, TN but we're remote first. Roughly 75% of the company is off-site around the country.
Don't do this! Not only is pkill more competent, it is available on several other operating systems.

There is a killall on Solaris also which is very different but true to its name. You do not want to run it by accident.
Something to consider: women do not generally appreciate being called girls. They may consider that language infantilizing or possibly even sexualizing. It's definitely a word to excise from your at-work vocabulary at a minimum.
Very interested to see some sources for these things you mention in first para. Do you have them handy?

Nice of them to not even bother including any of the sex workers' rights groups who can talk about the facilities for making safer arrangements that backpage provided or about how rare actual child enslavement is and how often they're found because the customers report them because that wasn't what they wanted to pay for.

This is basically a PR piece for the puritan/radfem lobby that hates sex workers on principle and has allied itself with NGOs whose budgets depend on vastly inflating the problem and ignoring the fact that under the current system law enforcement are usually more dangerous to the workers than anybody else :(
How to do code reviews
People have different thresholds where the perceived (or real) danger of speaking out is low enough. For some people, they don't need any backup. For others, they need to see a lot of people talking about it. Most people are somewhere in the middle. The snowball takes a while to reach the bottom.
London most likely means Greater London. Lots of people drive if they live and work in the suburbs. Trains only really go in the direction of central London, so it can make sense if you're just commuting from one suburb to another.
Spanish conjugations are not harder for me than saying the right English verb (do/does, was/were, am/are/is, has/have). Yes, conjugation adds a bit more to learn at the start but learning English spelling and irregular verbs took me years at school. And I'm still not sure when to use many of the English perfect tenses.

(Editing this comment because I made a conjugation mistake for the millionth time – "add" instead of "adds".)

Wow, that presentation is pretty shocking. How on Earth did he get away with both the harassment and the crude commentary for so long? In retrospect, knowing how he was treating women for years and looking at a presentation like this, it seems almost as if he was taunting the general consumer tech public with his behavior.

No, I'm talking about the cost to own a piece of land. In most areas it is possible to compute what a piece of empty land costs. Even if that piece is right in the middle of a city.

If you want to have a car (or otherwise rely on cars) it is an extremely bad idea to rely on a privately owned parking supplier who can set prices at any amount. Additionally, if everybody reserves space on his/her own private property for visiting guests, you are wasting an enormous amount of space. Wasting space is bad because you want to have as high population density as possible within constraints set by your life style.

So the obvious solution is to pool all that space and then let the local government set the price for using it. And then of course, it is best to just pay that as property tax.

Of course, if you don't need a car, then it is better to live in an area where cars can not park. And that space is use for something else.
Amazon and Google share prices were wrongly reported down more than 80%
Here, let me tell you a story. It's past 3am in the big city, I'm returning from a night out. While riding up the elevator, i can't help but notice the guy I'm sharing it with is a sobbing mess. I've never seen him before, but he gets out on my floor and heads in the opposite direction. I go inside, but as I get ready for bed, someone bangs loudly and repeatedly on my door. It's the guy. I hesitate opening. He knocks some more. Worried something bad happened to him, I let him in and ask what's wrong. He's locked out. He quickly gets into a tirade, about how his girlfriend broke up with him. That's why he's drunk. He doesn't know where his keys are but probably left them at a friend's. I feel somewhat cheated for my sympathy, having assumed far worse. Instead it's just self inflicted misery.

I listen for a bit but try to make it clear I'd like to go to bed. Spotting a pipe on the coffee table, he suggests we light up instead and I let him crash. I firmly decline. I decide this person is the master of their own destiny, ask them to leave, and suggest they grab a cab or bus to their friend's place. Against much protest, I get him out the door and feel immense relief.

If I'd been a woman, just saying I'd felt unsafe would've sufficed. I could've just called the police about this dangerous man banging on my door.

Of course, it wasn't a guy knocking. It was a girl. She was drunk out of her mind, ready to get even more wasted, and she made it clear I was the bad guy for not immediately considering her problems mine.
> You assume a company should be all serious.

Except nothing about this is funny, and if you think it is, it only shows how detached you are from reality and humanity. It's like casual racism.
For cloud storage, Backblaze B2.

It has a sustainable pricing model with no gimmicks:

- .005 cents/GB/month for storage

- free inbound data transfer

- .02 cents/GB for outbound data transfer

- first 10GB is free with no time limit

- first GB of outbound data transfer each day is free

- for $99 they will Fedex a flash drive up to 110GB from a B2 snapshot

- for $189 they will Fedex a USB drive up to 3.5TB from a B2 snapshot

- there are no "delete penalty" gimmicks that make cost optimization impossible on objects with indeterminate lifespans

For backups, it's hard to beat B2 IMO.

I do Yoga.

Like a lot of computer folk I spent my days sitting with terrible posture, and I love how it makes my back feel.

If physical exercise is missing from your day, I can tell you that for me, adding it was trans formative. It's much easier to sleep well if you are physically tired too!

In a big city, meetup.com will have a lot of interesting things happening every week, so rather than pick a hobby you might want to just make a point of doing a couple of those a week until you happen on something you want to do again.
My friend updated Skype on her phone. I called her from my comp Skype when she was in a shower. Her new Skype got connected without her pressing any buttons and I head everything what was going in her room (TV)! I called 3 times and it happened every time! Seems that everyone can connect to your new Skype on your phone without your permission and hear all your conversations? What is going on? What they did? What for? When I told her about it she turned off her phone and we talked by comp Skype. BTW she lives outside of the US. It's dangerous for everyone, especially for businesses, and also for kids!
I suspect it's really difficult to an exhaustive analysis required to see the full implications. It's easy to say 'this shop has seen foot count fall and when we interview people this is why they say they come less' (though with all of the problems such surveys entail), but it's less easy to see the magnitudes involved in the full pipeline - e.g. delivery workers who now deliver to customers instead of shops.

It ends up being more productive to look at much broader economic data, but that allows you less ability to drill into the specifics because you are looking at a much larger population, and have less ability to derive why something occurred.
email of course, not only is it uniquely identifiable but you have a way to verify and contact the user
But those movies are clearly meant as comedy and everyone watching it knows that.

Some comedians say things that are accepted because they are comedians and anyone repeating their jokes in public in a setting where it might be taken quite differently than as a joke might get into some trouble for doing so.

The fact you are talking about MPEG2 shows that you don't know what you are talking about.
Correct

Your average set-top-box (cable or whatever) doesn't have an x86 and it runs fine. But accelerated video play requires proprietary software

Not sure how it works on Android, but I guess it's more or less integrated there (so you can have accelerated video play easily and "in the system")
Deliveries surely require more people though? Delivering to a store is less efficient than delivering to 100 houses.

This won't stop until harassers face consequences. We must make sacrifices and kill the ones who harass or assault. If we don't want to kill them when it occurs, then when we are in our seventies and eighties and about to die anyway we must kill not our harassers but others who are likely to harass. It's the only way to stop the problem.
just use email so that user doesnt have to yet again think of another customized username for your service.
So what's exactly the use case for this? I'm not entirely sure.

Let's say I deploy it. Users of whatever service I provide use this to login to Google, Twitter, etc, then what? do I need to also implement something on the servers I'm protecting behind a login? I.e. some "verification" method that checks whether the client's JWT tokens are valid so I can grant them access?
I think there are two sectors: home and industrial. So for home sector there would be things such as smart air conditioning, smart central heating, refrigerator. Industrial sector will probably have lots of use cases for small IoT devices with sensors.
PNG only, and I think certain types of PNG as well (e.g. you can't use the alpha channel).
Yes, but the expectation is "if this model is right, there should lots of aliens". It's not trying to convince you the model is right, but raising the question of what is wrong given that the model appears to be contradicted by observation.
There's a meme around that if you crowdfund the VC industry will see this as "negative signaling" and blackball you.

I have wondered first of all if it's true. Good numbers are good numbers right? Is a VC going to pass on a great deal because they crowdfunded a prior round?

Secondly if it is true it seems self serving protectionism, like taxi companies trying to scare you away from Uber and Lyft.

A lot of Games these days, especially in mobile and online, are focused towards giving players quick rewards and keeping them addicted rather than providing a meaningful experience.

On the other hand you have some excellent experiences available like Papers Please, Hotline Miami, KSP etc. So it isn't like games in the old days were better, rather you have more shittier stuff available today that is much better marketed.
The problem with GPG and the like is that the assumption is made that the end platforms are secure (where the message is generated or read). They are not.
Sterling doesn't take ad revenue of any kind, as a point of principle. It's a key part of his appeal - his independence as a journalist is unimpeachable, because he's funded solely by fans.
