I don't think that he will but the risk of him doing so while low isn't insignificant.
I'm out of context: Was this paper an impactful one? Does it have any ideas that can be applied today?
From having read the article I know that exactly that situation is likely the case. This guys some kind of executive engineer and several other executives were charged and just haven't gone all the way through processing yet.

Kubernetes also has a built-in configmap and secrets api. You can inject them as env vars or even mount files inside the container filesystem via the pod manifest
If the CEO ties your employment to unrealistic expectations of delivery speed and builds a culture of recklessness, sure.
Absolutely right! If you think you can avoid the tentacles of the beast, just look up "facebook shadow profiles" and think again.
The catch with cling and the derived libraries is in that you have to download a whole bunch [1] of CERN stuff and then build a customized LLVM as part of the build process. That's a bit too heavy for the nice reflection- and REPL-like features that you gain.

Boost.Python is better in that regard since you "just" have to build boost; on some platforms, you can just snatch that via a package manager; that being said, you still need to build it. SWIG, aside from being ugly, requires an extra build step.

> This means that there is absolutely no need to maintain a compiled C++ part for your bindings, and so the problem of keeping the interface up to date is greatly mitigated

I tend to disagree. I would never consider the raw (swig or cling) 1-to-1 bindings of C++ code satisfactory for end-user use in Python. Ideally (in my subjective opinion and previous experience) Python-side bindings would closely mirror the C++ API, to the point where downstream code in either language looks very similar, but they don't reference any C++ stuff, be it vectors, or maps, or template arguments, or anything else. This implies you would have to maintain a set of higher level bindings on top of swig/cling ones anyway -- and these are the ones that'll break as the code evolves and that you'll have to maintain manually. As such, I'd rather maintain one set of bindings than two.
Yes, WR currently considers subdomains as a part of the main domain.

Most users like to know the full tech stack of a website. If there is a blog at blog.company.com and if it is using Intercom, it can be a useful data. I hope this makes sense.

Anyway, we will definitely address this concern and think about adding an option for subdomain separation.
I hope all my competition believes as much.

I can't tell if the author has identified a straw man or a weak man, but I don't think serious, accomplished people give out the advice that successful networking = acting like a pest and creating hollow relationships.

Maybe we need a better way to describe networking, right now we use the same work to describe establishing credibility and rapport with like minded people and attempting to become a barnacle / remora on a successful person.

I don't know if I've ever consciously networked, but seeking out like-minded people and engaging them with interesting discussion / ideas has served me well. Though I work in a technical capacity and it does seem as though people-management is qualitatively different but not completely divorced.

I've seen talentless hacks rise up (or fail up?) but the success was never sustainable and for some reason, all those people never saved enough money for the inevitable rainy day: they blow something up or lose a game of executive musical chairs, leave, and can't swindle their way into a comparable job.

However, it's been my experience that the vast majority of executives who have held onto their executive position for longer than 2 power struggles are very deserving of the position. Sure, a lot of them let off the gas relative to the performance that got them into their role. But they're extraordinarily capable people.

The only way to really sustain positive career trajectory is through accomplishment (and unfortunately, accomplishment isn't a guarantee of a successful career). And if you can't do that, you have to skate by on 'luck'.

Cronyism seems to ebb and flow, I think there's a lot of it right now because most businesses aren't that competitive. But if we get some creative destruction going, we'll see the balance of power shift more decisively towards makers and doers.

One trend that I've seen in the past 3 years that I like a lot is more salary growth opportunity for technical employees. 5 years ago, I saw a lot of companies stall people out, "if you want to make more money you have to become a manager". But a lot of companies lost a lot of talent and now they're correcting their dumb policy.

How is this related to network? It's just a consideration and optimization problem (and maybe a problem that maps well to your sociability) but networking shouldn't be a 4 letter word. If you're not enjoying it, you'll probably be well-rewarded to find a way to make it more enjoyable and that's pretty easy if you enjoy some element of your profession.

I'm reminded of The Last Psychiatrist's article, "This Is Why The American Dream Is Out Of Reach". It's also about a NYT article.

http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/08/this_is_why_the_ameri...

there's a deeper problem: people see personal connections and favors as key path to prosperity. Sure, they help. But the most lucrative opportunities aren't the chance to meet someone important, the most lucrative opportunities are those that involve solving a problem. How much time do parasites put into networking? I bet it's more time than they put into starting a new business or doing something.

It's more than annoyance unfortunately. RFEs can delay the process significantly and can impact the continued employment of those in F-1 OPT status - and in the end, I think that there will be more denials.

Kindly tweak or update to fix any mistake in this process. I think it will be of great help to many and benefit everyone.
But in this case, the function of the tool is very similar. It's more like switching from one multi-tool to another. Both have a screwdriver, a knife and maybe a bottle opener. They're more than just superficially different for all tasks, but for web development they're only superficially different.

My company is working on pocket-sized routers/firewalls/DNS servers.

These sit between the "smartphone" and the untrusted, e.g., public, wifi router, acting as a user-controlled gateway.

The user makes a one-time change to the settings on their smartphone to use the user-controlled gateway. This enables blocking ads and other unwanted outgoing connections without having to be physically at home or work, i.e. in a location where the user can "trust" the network.

The pocket-sized router runs open source software chosen and installed by the user. Users have a generous choice of operating systems, from Plan9 to BSD to Linux, as they do for the RPi. Baseband is either absent or physically disabled.

The main advantage I see to leveraging old "phones" for this is the power supply.

While I have seen small form factor routers made for travel, they are generally not rechargeable.
Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by ripped off.

Teacher here. Good teaching materials are incredibly valuable.

One would think that some big company like Pearson would have cornered the market on teaching materials. Turns out, most teaching materials out there are just complete garbage.

Most materials made by a company are easy multiple choice and fill in the blank worksheets rather than engaging activities.

Most materials made by teachers are better, but usually have some kind of glaring flaw (like just too short or not modified for students with accommodations) because a teacher created it out of desperation with little time available and never went back to fix it up.
Yep, I'm a US citizen with an American PhD in CS. I did a five year stint at a research lab in Iceland, and after two years back in the states, we're in the process of moving back to Reykjavik now, for most of the reasons you're discussing (as well as the bleak outlook for US science funding, and well, the overall bleak outlook for the US as just a suitable place to live at this point, but hey).

How do we the title changed so it says this guy was an executive?

At the time I write this post many comments are claiming the execs will go free and this guy just took a fall. The article clearly says this guy was a low ranking executive, other executive were charged and this guy plead guilty, implying he rolled on them (but not stating that).
BTW how does that "LTE SIM" actually work? I have a few of their pre-LTE "global" SIMs. The MNC is actually some UK company, and it actually does route through the UK. Horrible latency (and they marketed this for VOIP, lol), it's NATted, and the IP address actually ends in 0! (not wrong under CIDR, just unusual). But it does roam onto both AT&T and T-mobile towers.
I'm in favor of punishing the people in charge, but I'm reluctant to overlook rank-in-file just because they were just following orders. It feels hypocritical, as an engineer, for me to say that engineers should be recognized not just for raw technical experience but for their ability to be creative artists and humane leaders, and then argue that senior engineers and their ideas and work have no agency or worldly responsibility beyond a requirements document.

According to the OP:

> Federal prosecutor Mark Chutkow countered that Liang was a "pivotal figure" in designing the systems used to make Volkswagen diesels appear to comply with U.S. pollution standards, when instead they could emit up to 40 times the allowed levels of smog-forming compounds in normal driving.

This wasn't just someone who wrote some code that he didn't intend to be misused. This is someone who used his expertise to direct the implementation of an unlawful system. To be successful in that, it seems you'd have to have a decent understanding of the law that you intend to break.

If the customer is happy and all the pizzas get delivered on time the Pizza Hut execs will get fat bonuses too.

However, no matter how unrealistic the delivery estimates are, the execs are not responsible if I run red lights or speed to meet those requirements. There is obviously no legal liability on the CEO unless he explicitly instructed or encouraged me to do so.

From the world of politics, and government relations, it is nearly impossible to get anything done, or rapid career advancement (save getting elected to public office) without networking. My world is built on who you know, and being able to reach other people you don't know when you need to.

What helps me cope is that in Visual Studio you can type the extension method's name and ctrl-. to get an "import namespace" quick fix suggestion. It even works when you type it with wrong casing (which happens to me a lot because I'm a really lazy typist). I'm really glad the VS team has been putting more of those in.
The article called him an executive, it might be wrong.

If the article is wrong then we should be talking about that (and the other executives that the article claims were charged) and not just presuming things.
Type classes in Scala typically entail a mix of features: implicits, traits, and higher kinded types.

Sorry to nit-pick but perhaps try

- "they" instead of "she"

Much more gender-neutral this way - no implications (intentional or non-intentional) about someone needing help because they are female.

Cliptomatic: A Web-Based Clipboard Manager
I'll share this with my GF. I'm a bit amazed how much of a dedicated fanbase the bachelor/bachelorette series has. And most of it is enabled by newer apps. For every hour my gf spends watching the bachelor she probably spends another 3 or 4 listening to podcasts, watching youtube, and watching snap stories about it.

If you haven't already, you should try advertising with one of these snapchat users. As I understand it, they use their snap chat stories to provide commentary on the bachelor with some paid product advertisements. They get hundreds of thousands of views.

I dont know much about extension development - can a finer permission like - reading browser url is not sufficient to achieve functionality ? or better - a button in extension options to read only current url ?

Having said above - compared to extension wappalyzer (which I had) this gives so much more information!! Really cool.

Interesting. I like the idea of smart metering devices. A lot of people, especially in Mumbai, don't track consumption at all. Do you see changing the mindset of people w.r.t. conservation of water particularly challenging? Some areas in Mumbai receive stable, 24x7 water supply while others barely receive a couple of buckets twice a day.

Quite a few areas and apartment complexes utilize a wide range of hacks to ensure their area receives adequate water supply. Distribution of water from the authorities is anything but uniform because of devices such powerful water pumps and larger than sanctioned storage tanks. Much of this, although illegal, is with the blessings of local political leaders.

Any insights on how these issues could be addressed?
Much appreciated.
Designing a Tree Diff Algorithm Using Dynamic Programming and A*
the standard, American theoretical response to an individual with a low standard of living is: "lack of talent is not the problem. lack of education is. these individuals simply need more education in order to access better opportunities."

one might argue, on a national level, that because lack of education -- not talent -- is the true limiting factor, there are plenty of existing US residents who are capable of filling these jobs. the US can simply train from within and promote from within.

at the same time, the standard American theoretical response for the lack of expertise and trained labor required to grow the companies is: "we can't find anyone here who can do the job. period. we absolutely have to import people from foreign countries."

one might argue, on a national level, that there's no point in spending government money to further the education of US residents. they'll never be able to do the work anyway. instead, America might as well write these people off and import different people who already have the talent, expertise, training, education.

don't these ideas contradict each other? which theory is right?

That's a really good question with a not so straightforward answer. I'll start with some stats. Public water utilities lose 50% of it's water due to leakages. During monsoons, India gets enough rain to fulfill it's drinking water needs (but as you can imagine, it's hard to store that water for the year). As energy gets cheaper and cheaper, technologies like desalination will get more affordable, and pumping water will be very cheap. (Just as a reference, California currently spends 3% of it's energy on pumping water!)

Overall, with the confluence of technological interventions, we think that India (and the world for that matter) has enough water- and can harness it. But right now, we see a lack of water data in the ecosystem, and we're using IoT devices to start tracking water in different forms. We believe that humanity can solve it's own problems, but it needs the data to do it. That's what we're starting to do in the private water sector, first by tracking demand, and withdrawals, and next with using data to model aquifer health. That's how we want to contribute to making sure all 9B people on this planet get clean water- make sure humanity the data to make the right decisions.
