Would they pursue something like counterfeit software licenses or gift cards mailed via USPS, if the scale isn't as large (like <$100)? Asking since it's happened to me on smaller scales before, but the amount is smaller and I'm not sure how to prove I received whatever I received...
I obviously understand all that but you have to understand is that I've been browsing with this feature for over a decade. It's fundamental to how I use browser -- even now I have over 40 tabs open and they're all nicely visible.

I've tried to use Chrome for the performance and stability but the lack of multi-row tabs always kept me on Firefox. It's just such an amazing piece of usability.

Imagine if Microsoft just removed the ability to copy/paste in the next version of Windows. Despite the improved performance and security of each successive version of Windows -- would you be so quick to upgrade?
Don't you think that, considering trying to get women into STEM fields is a pretty recent effort, jumping to the conclusion that "it must be because of biological reasons" that they are not interested and then we "shouldn't be doing anything"?

Would you have held the same opinion, had I said "well, there might be biological evidence that African-Americans are not interested in going through higher education, so we should not worry about trying to help poor black kids go through university" 40 years ago?
The third world and first world version of these problems are similar in form but completely different in magnitudes.
Invent something besides free software, you mean?

I think it can be sustainable if we can change the culture in tech so that it's normal to support open source. There are 20M programmers in the world. If 10% of us each had a budget of $1,000 from our employers to spend on open source each year, that would be $2B/yr for the open source community--equivalent to another Red Hat.
AFAIK they sit through a lot more pitches then they show on tv, so they can probably afford to be picky.

I mean, it's conceivable that this was a pedagogical technique or a strange dialect of my teachers, but when they modeled pronunciation, it was clearly with an "n" sound. Or perhaps when they spoke each mora distinctly and somewhat separately, they unconsciously reverted to the "normal" pronunciation of ん instead of a modified pronunciation.

Now, maybe having modeled that, when they spoke at normal speed it was an "m" sound and, not listening for it, I never heard it.

(Also: They never corrected my pronunciation of ん, which was consciously an "n" sound. They did correct my pronunciation of other things, like failing to subvocalize vowels between unvoiced consonants (I remember a long and arduous exchange in which my professor pronounced "hito" (人), and I tried to mirror it back, imagining that my problem was in not emphasizing the second syllable enough rather than failing to subvocalize the "i"). And I think that I say "input" with an "n" sound. But maybe I'm incapable of saying "input" the way I normally do in speech when I'm actually thinking about it. :P )
> there isn't sufficient market activity to build a real value for Libor so it's basically made up from whole cloth

The least active currency-tenor, since deprecated, traded once a month. Most currency-tenors trade many, many, many times a day. There's plenty of market activity to build Libor-esque metrics.

> It's a distinction without a material difference

It's a world of material difference. The Fed Funds rate in the United States is based on the same kind of wholesale unsecured interbank lending as Libor is supposed to be. The metric, and the market it's based on, work.

We can have something like Libor based on market activity. It just won't be published every day for every tenor and currency.

If you just read Taibbi, the answer would seem to be to scrap any attempt at measuring the market because you cannot measure something that does not exist. If you understand the nuance, you walk away better appreciating what (a) went wrong, (b) we should do to improve future metrics and (c) one should look for when evaluating other metrics purporting to do similar things. You also gain an understanding for the kinds of scaling problems financial markets run into, which are quite unlike scaling problems in other contexts.

Haha, that would have been totally awesome!

And that reminds me of two more turbulence stories I have.

Once on an international flight from Spain to the US, we had a single turbulent drop. They were serving coffee, we were over the ocean and only a couple hours from home, and suddenly in a split second no gravity and then WHAM! A bunch of coffee spilled, they stopped the coffee service, and everyone got quiet for the rest of the ride fearing another drop. Someone breaking the tension would have been sweet relief. There was no other turbulence either before or after, and it's probably a real thing, but because of my YEEHAW experience, I've always had a small suspicion that the pilots did it on purpose. Maybe one of them liked one of the flight attendants or needed a second coffee. :P

We did get a tension breaker on a flight into Maine a couple years ago during hurricane season. The half hour before landing was just awful, we flew right into the hurricane and there was so much turbulence everyone was completely freaked, the plane was bouncing all over the place, and the tension made worse by crying babies. (My fault, half the crying babies on the plane were mine and my cousin's crying babies, btw, I have nothing against crying babies unless I'm on a plane and it's turbulent.)

When the plane touched down and stopped shaking, suddenly it got real quiet, all the babies stopped crying and you could hear a pin drop. Just long enough to be uncomfortably quiet, when one of the flight attendants hit the PA and with all the vocal fry he had announced "...aaaaaaaaaand that's how you do it, folks." The plane exploded in laughter, and a few people actually cried with relief.
But religious freedom, being applied as the ability to employ, be employed, or to provide service without fear of religious violation or indignity, is something American conservatives are arguing for at the moment, and that includes the ability to fire or not serve homosexuals.

How else am I supposed to create a Christian establishment, such as school for K-12 children? What if it's part of my wholesome Christian values and worldview to create a healthy environment where children can learn, free of homosexual influence?

I don't think it's a shame personally. Cryptocurrencies and especially ICOs have enabled economic Darwinism at a scale rarely before seen.
Before you make that judgment call, make sure the problem doesn't have to do with the way you're communicating.

For execs who are coming from a technical background - especially first-time CTOs or those who have previously worked on teams where other execs were technical or at least savvy - it can be challenging to learn to communicate about technical topics in a way that non-technical people understand. I'm not saying that this necessarily is you, just that it's a common problem, and an important one to rule out.

Even if you're explaining the situation in a way that the CEO can understand the concepts, you may not be explaining the urgency or the repercussions in a way that makes sense to him, or in terms of stakes he cares about. Alternatively, he may be the sort of person who thinks everything other than negotiating with VCs is below his pay grade and it's really [the COO|the office manager|the CEO's personal assistant] who runs the company and get things done.

Tactic 1) try wrapping up your conversations with something like "in short, we need to do X within Y timeframe or risk losing $Z. What I need from you is to get the Acme contract signed by Friday. Can I count on that?" Then follow up about it Thursday, Friday, and Monday.

Tactic 2) talk to people who have been there a while and try to (not too overtly) work out who it is that really gets things done around here, and how they make that happen.

Tactic 3) find someone who's hungry and has lots of potential and initiative, plus involvement in a broad subset of departments (in a startup, the office manager or a senior person in operations is often a good candidate) and empower them to be the person who facilitates interactions between people and departments, makes sure people have what they need to succeed, and Gets Things Done. So that you don't have to be that person, and can concentrate on your own job. Only do this if you're willing to invest a lot of energy in what's still likely to be a crash-and-burn situation. If it succeeds, this is a huge win for your career, but the chances of success are low.

If that doesn't work and there just plain aren't good people in the company, or everyone at the top is clueless or doesn't care, there's no win to be had here. Get out. Go work with sane people.
Some (more than a few) years ago I was in the position of reading slush for Tor books. This was back in the day when it was all mailed in on paper. Unsurprisingly, many of the fantasy submissions came with the author's own, generally hand-drawn, map. They varied quite a bit in terms of quality, but were generally recognizable as being in the tradition of what was usually printed in fantasy novels. ("Land of the pointy mountains"). Since they were sometimes disposable copies, I took to keeping the maps in a binder. For all I know, it's still there.

> But DBs and FSs operate on pages of data and not individual records, so you will be reading that row anyway, and likely much more.

Yes, when dealing with database performance understanding this goes with the territory.

The "game" here is to organize data in such way that the stuff you read inadvertently is something that you will need eventually (as in in a few microseconds). This is where things like CLUSTER and BRIN indexes become important, and this is also why partitioning is a win.
Hey, not to butt in, but would it be possible to get in on the email discussion? Very curious about all of the above questions as well. No worries if not :)

> If they want higher quality they can ask me or hear it when I play out.

This defeats all the practical advantage of the internet removing limitations.

I can't ask you because I don't have an account and will not register one to do so (I actually did once to get in touch with the artist and he gave me shit) and I can't hear it when you play out because I have no idea when and where you play out and we don't even live on the same continent.

Defeating the whole point of its existence points to a non existent future. I used to use soundcloud because I could discover music and artists and download hiqh quality files. I don't go there anymore and am back to discover music and artists on file sharing between people which I've been doing since before the democratization of the internet.

It'd be pretty hard to ever prove anything, it's not like they can really go hundreds of miles off the flight path. In my case, the cockpit door opened completely on accident, or at least because of what the pilots were doing, the turbulence is what bumped the door open. Now that the doors are locked, it wouldn't happen again. They blushed and shut it as quickly as they could, and later offered an apology that didn't openly admit to doing it intentionally, but reading between the lines was as close as they could go.

It wasn't particularly enjoyable at that moment, but it is really funny, and I'm glad it happened.

Given all the years and precedent of access (throughout the State of California), I would hope that any stay of the order pending further litigation would be denied.

In my own little childhood hometown, I've watched public beach access (to a lake) become more and more locked up behind fees and limited hours of access and upscaling property values and home ownership that wants to keep things quiet and for themselves.

The quiet part, I appreciate. The "keep out" part, not so much.

The childhood memories I have of times spent there, are simply no longer possible. It's all on lockdown. Something lost in that -- something significant, in my opinion.

> I'm a hardline free speech dude, but I find it difficult to justify "We changed around your copyrighted work to remove stuff we decided we don't like."

How can that possibly be hard to justify for anyone that even believes vaguely in the notion of freedom, much less someone "hardline"?

Do you think I break the law (or ethics) if I take the ads insert out of a newspaper I buy without reading them? How about if I hire a secretary to do so?

> The horrible work-life balance in early phase academia, at the exact point when you are usually trying to start a family, is a much bigger issue.

It is unpleasant for both genders. As a male this horrible phase was a factor in me not keeping on the academic track, though not the only one.

> Especially since women in academia are often in relationships with men in academia, the question of "whose career do we down-prioritize" is answered as much by biology as by the wishes of the couple in question.

That sounds like a trade-off made by two intelligent adults working in tandem to better their family's place in the world.

I watched my wife perform with a professional ballet company 3 months after giving birth to our older child.

If the couple wants to prioritize the woman's career, certainly post partum lecturing, research, and mentoring can be resumed with full gusto in a similar time frame.
It sounds from the article they likely do know where the antennas are based?

If not, is it possible to use direction finding to obtain the location of antennas propagating shortwave frequencies?

(I assume this is more difficult due to the use of the ionosphere)

Also is there any remote chance the hardware attached to the aerial (power amps etc) could pick up unwanted RF or other interesting electrical interference and re-broadcast it, which may give some useful information.

1. He is saying that biological differences explain why fewer women go into tech. That is not true, here is the best point-by-point analysis I've seen on it: https://www.quora.com/What-do-scientists-think-about-the-bio...

2. If you are a manager, and you ignore this analysis and agree that there is a biological difference, you can use that to explain why you aren't hiring/promoting women: it's not you, it's biology!
That's basically how America works, though. We still have witch hunts - hell, we had the original New World witch hunt in 1692 - because we're human and humans are little shits to people they don't like. The beauty of America is that you can always find a bigger shit who doesn't like the little shits who are beating you up, and nobody will stop you from going and hanging out with them (well, except in the public school system, the most fucked up part of America).

I'm quite surprised to find myself disagreeing with Gruber on this one. I like the way safari works currently, I don't want a bunch of loud little icons crowding up my screen.

That may come from using Safari as my main browser for 13+ years, but I'm certainly quite happy with things the way they are.
