That would seem to be a good thing, both for NK and the rest of us.

Basically, the term emotional labor gets used a lot to mean "women's work" and especially to refer to the largely invisible parts of what women are expected to do.

I don't like that usage, but I usually don't bother to nitpick it. I do understand why this is kind of a hot topic and why the term emotional labor gets applied to it.

I don't have a better solution. It seems like there simply isn't a good way to talk about these issues.

(FWIW: I'm a woman.)
The mortgage interest deduction is dumb, but it is marketable as a giveaway to "everyone." The state income tax deduction is both dumb and a handout to state governments and those evil "coastal elites."

I think a compromise that might work is similar to what happens with the mortgage interest deduction: a cap. Maybe you only get to deduct state and local income tax up to the top federal tax bracket.

My question is more, what if you don't know it has personal data? Say you're just a generic document storage & sharing service, and someone uploads a generic PDF or Word, but which happens to contain personal data. Surely you're not expect to treat any possible data you receive as personal, just in case?
Most of his behavior is junk behavior and can be ignored. Obviously, if he does something harmful, that should not be ignored, but most everything else can and should be. Give him no response that he can use to put in front of his people; Nothing he can use to spin to show how powerful he is. Ignore it. Take the control away from him.

But always keep an eye out for him doing something even remotely good and praise him for that. Send over food or whatever else his country may need. Reward the behavior you want to see. Ignore the behavior you don't.

They stay in existence mostly because nobody wants to take the responsibility for 25 million people that are stuck 70 years behind. The West is in no shape to do any nation-building, neither financially nor ideologically, South Korea has no resources to stomach such huge influx of the population with such huge economic disparity (it's like US would get 150 million immigrants from extremely poor country all at once), and China is completely fine with the position of NK being a permanent toxic dumpster fire and China being seen as the only power being able to manage it and thus being irreplaceable and everyone's savior.

They are as "successful" as cancer is "successful" - it's hard to kill the cancer without killing the patient, but that's not a redeeming quality for cancer. In the same way, it's hard to kill Kim's regime without subjecting 25 million people to extreme dangers, exacerbated by the fact that many of them are already on the brink of starvation, and a lot of them are thoroughly brainwashed. It's not a sign of "success" or regime's rationality, it is the sign that it is hard for us to find a solution for this without hurting a lot of people in process.

You could use it as a basis for an AR type 'virtual pirate' game, where you navigate your pirate vessel around the worlds oceans, trying to track and board actual ships. You would get points based on the types of cargo they contain, and success could be determined by statistics on actual piracy, proximity of naval vessels, public information about the owners previous responses to attacks etc. With the money you earn from stealing cargo you can 'buy' a better pirate ship, or 'employ' more virtual pirates to increase success...? Could be a pretty simple Android or iOS app to write?

You're right, doc is very lacking for now. As Gys assumed correctly, when you work in the SAT solving field, using gophersat is very straightforward, but for a more wider audience, it is really lacking. A complete documentation and a tutorial about SAT for end users is a priority in the short term, but in a nutshell:

1. You have a problem that can be represented as a propositional formula (i.e boolean values). For instance : you have three employees, and you must have at least one employee working at any moment, and a given employee cannot work both in the morning and in the afternoon. Oh, and employees a and c don't work very well when they are together. You can represent it this way :

- e1-m means employee 1 works in the morning, e2-m employee 2 etc.
- e1-a means employee 1 works in the afternoon, etc.
- all those constraints (called "clauses") must be checked :
- e1-m or e2-m or e3-m (at least one employee in the morning)
- e1-a or e2-a or e3-a (at least one in the afternoon)
- not(e1-m) or not(e1-a) (e1 cannot work both in the morning and in the afternoon)
- not(e2-m) or not(e2-a)
- not(e3-m) or not(e3-a)
- not(e1-m) or not(e3-m) (e1 and e3 can't both work in the morning)
- not(e1-a) or not(e3-a)

So:

- you have a set of clauses, and all clauses must be true,

- each clause is a set of literals, and at least one of these literals must be true.

2. In the DIMACS file format, you associate each variable with an integer value (so, e1-m is 1, e2-m is 2, e3-m 3, e1-a 4, e2-a 5, e3-a 6). A negative value indicates the variable is expected to be false (so, -1 means "not(e1-m)").

Then, each line represents a clause and ends with a 0 (for historical reasons). The above problem would be:

1 2 3 0
4 5 6 0
-1 -4 0
-2 -5 0
-3 -6 0
-1 -3 0
-4 -6 0

The file starts with a prolog, which is `p cnf nb-vars nb-clauses`, so the whole file is

p cnf 6 7
1 2 3 0
4 5 6 0
-1 -4 0
-2 -5 0
-3 -6 0
-1 -3 0
-4 -6 0

And, when given that input, gophersat answers :

SATISFIABLE
-1 2 -3 4 -5 -6

Meaning "there is at least one way to solve your problem, for instance both 2 and 4 are true, everything else is false". So, e2 works in the morning, e1 in the afternoon, and e3 stays at home.

We will add, very soon, a facility function, to let the user submit this problem not only in a text format, but by providing a list of list of integers. Next step is providing user-friendly, higher-level input formats. Because, yes, providing DIMACS files for a given problem can be tricky and/or boring.
Are you aware of how and why that functionality worked?
The article tells a story of a very clever person repeatedly disregarding other drivers' safety and legal obligations who apparently ripped off his employees and his main employer with side projects long before the Uber case, and whose "religion" sounds like either further evidence of apparent self-important fanatical weirdness or (as other users have pointed out) a tax dodge.

As soon as I indicated I would try exploring the leadership path (I had originally intended to only progress as an individual contributor, but I'm bored and I'll learn any skills I can at this point), my managers gave me the role and immediately I was swamped with meetings. I don't resent it, but I'm going to see if I can push to streamline the behaviors that lead to this. My time is now even more precious than ever and I have to find ways to reclaim it.

I dont get bitcoin. Whats the value? I dont really see where I need it.

Used to mine back in the days right after I heard about and had great hopes and fun. It was worth nothing back then, but since just had too many letdowns because of the community around this so called currency. You could literally replace "Bitcoin" with "Jesus" in any conversation online in the big bitcoin communities and it would seem just like a religious cult, which I am not too much into. Actually that would be a fun idea for a browser plugin now that I think about it :D

I transfer money regularly to asia, but Transferwise is a much better option for this. Takes 20 minutes to have the real usable money in the account.

I lost 3000 euro recently on an exchange that went bust and I almost lost 60 bitcoins on MtGox, where I was one of their 50 first users. Only saved it because I went crazy on their IRC, so I guess MagicalTux just wanted to get rid of me.

Those 3000 euros were for playing around with ETH by the way - no big deal - but I decided that was the last straw. Just had enough, I guess and I kind of hope that this will turn into the shitshow, I think it is going to turn into because these days there is really nothing I could think of doing with a bitcoin if I had one.

Seriously. If I had a bitcoin, what could I do with it except selling it??

And the blockchain? What is it good for except for bitcoin? It has been around now for 10 years and everybody has been praising it to the skies, but have we really seen any breakthrough tech come out of this? Its not super complicated tech - just an interesting solution to a computer science problem. If it was so valuable, I am sure everybody who wants to earn money would be all over it. Thats what we like, right? Earn money.

A certain story by HC Andersen comes to mind.
> NK isn't some rationalistic actor.

The way they're behaving is quite rational. They looked at what happened to Gaddafi and Saddam, as well as how the new administration is seeking to tear down the Iran deal, and came to the conclusion that the US/West could not be trusted to honor a nuclear disarment deal long term.

This means a credible nuclear deterrent is the only way to ensure the regime's survival.

Lest people think I'm engaging in apologetics, what they're doing to keep in power is reprehensible. But they're not mad men looking for a symbolic "win" at the cost of suicide.

Considering they have open sourced the server they run (Pushpin), they are betting that people won't want to do this. Infrastructure is expensive, but benefits from economies of scale, so providing things as a service makes a lot of economic sense.
> From the maintainer on that same issue thread:

...

That's the part that really makes me scratch my head. Why would you want to hide the option, especially if doing so requires a lot of work on multiple OSes? Add a menu option to force a sync, problem solved.

> Then lower down another user expressed interest in dev'ving that for one of the three supported platforms:

Which doesn't really help, because he was already told that's not enough, and the feature has never been added.

> So when you wrote, "I haven't touched Sparkleshare since," did you mean since reading that single post you quoted? Or did you continue reading the rest of the posts from that same day which I quoted, and then decided that you didn't want to contribute nor interact with potential contributors to help solve that issue in the way the maintainer offered?

It doesn't do what I need it to do, and I don't have a few hundred hours to figure out how to create a hidden menu item on three OSes, so yes, I haven't touched it since 2012.
The other pieces of advice are all good resources. Something that I am learning is that sometimes the "financial planning" advice you see has the goal of maximizing $$$. Realize that it is your money and you can spend it how you want to.

With that said, be realistic about the trade offs you make, you can spend $30 on food and $10 on coffee every day if you want or you can buy a $30k car in cash in three years if you eat on $10 a day[0]. Good financial planning allows YOU to make informed decisions about YOUR money.

[0] ($30 (expensive food) + $10 (coffee) - $10 (cheap food)) * 365 (days in a year) * 3 (years) = $32,850
That is almost a Tesla Model 3 ($35k standard)

> As a side note, 508(c)(1)(a) can also speak about politics while 501(c)(3) are forbidden from doing so.

Er, that's not exactly true. 501(c)(3) aren't forbidden from speaking about politics. There are restrictions on the ways in which they can (e.g. no overt party affiliation) and the degree to which they can do so. For example, they can spend time lobbying, but only 10% of their time and only 10% of their budget (I don't remember if it's still 10%, but that used to be the number). Oftentimes, 501(c)(3)s will have a separate, associated entity that they use for their political lobbying, to avoid having to keep track of their resources when mixed and prove that it's under this threshold.
While they area bit more expensive than that target, universities that focus on credentialing without doing much of the rest already exist (e.g., Western Governor's University).
"a distribution problem" is not a problem of how to physically transport something over a distance. A "distribution problem" in economic terms is how good are allocated to those who want it, or rather, how this allocation fails. It fails, for example, in places where there is no or insufficient government or rule of law. So the GP was already saying what you are, but in a more nuanced (and better) way. Saying 'it's all political' is just saying 'it's all the fat cat's fault'. But it's much more subtle than that; for example, endemic corruption also causes economic misallocation, and it's a cultural problem, not a 'political' one per se.
Ever since I found out about Lisp machines I've been a bit obsessed with them. When I got the leaked distribution of Symbolics Genera going in Linux I felt like I was in possession of a crashed UFO. The user experience of the Listener, with its rich output (almost a "scrolling desktop") was exactly what I wanted from a command line. As I imagined what that system would be like if development had continued I started getting so many ideas, it was thrilling.

And at that time I hardly knew Lisp! What excited me was the user experience of the Listener, the notion of programming being a way to use the computer, not just to construct software - and the way each piece of software in the system was practically an API for my own use. This was sci-fi stuff to me, extremely inspiring.

I don't know how we could move towards the creation of modern Lisp machines. Disappointingly for this old Amiga user, we don't really have regular computers that aren't ugly old x86 any more. But I think about trying to work these ideas into my software development all the time. Genera had such an impact on me I can't avoid it.
Nginx is a general purpose webserver/proxy.

Fanout is meant for pushing data only. It uses a proxy-based mechanism to interface with the sender, but it's not a general purpose proxy like Nginx. You might even use Fanout and Nginx together, for example if you Nginx as a load balancer in front of our open source version (Pushpin).

Nginx does have a stream module, called Nchan. The main difference is Fanout is fully transparent and can speak any API you define, whereas Nchan somewhat speaks its own protocol and may not be able to power arbitrary predefined APIs. That said, Nchan is far more flexible than most push systems out there, and you can probably get it to do Fanout-like things.
It's a conversation, not research papers ;-)
This is interesting, yes, but it seems immediately ... odd to me.

Do we use rubber to manufacture tires because the frictional coefficient between rubber and asphalt is established rapidly due to asphalt sweating? No, it's because the frictional coefficient is already rather high to begin with. Is this not the case with rubber-keratin as well? Why involve sweat when static friction is sufficiently explanatory?

> Perhaps China wants to annex NK.

No they don't. Why would they want this radioactive toxic dumpster fire as their full responsibility? They're much better it being within their sphere of influence - so that anybody who wants anything done has to deal with China and make suitable offers to get things done - while having pretty much zero responsibility for the welfare of the people and not being subject of criticism for any atrocities that happen there, and not granting the people there even minuscule rights that Chinese subjects have. Current situation - at least until it explodes into a hot war - is a huge win for China, they are indispensable as the only power capable of putting a leash on Crazy Kim, they look relatively good in comparison to him, and they don't have to spend anything on it or bear any responsibility.

I think about some things I said in did in relationships in my 20s and cringe.

I hope I have gotten massively more in-tune with others' emotions and desires, having read more, witnessed modeling aside from my parents, and gone through a more varied and extensive set of personal and interpersonal experiences to compare with.

While I have observed most people's personalities being fairly static, I do think it's possible to morph into an empath. Quickly, even, if tragedy or mental health issues strike.
I'm a tenured professor who is almost certainly on my way out. Academics is a mess.

I don't think getting rid of tenure is the solution. Tenure is almost gone in practice if not on paper, and the effects of this have been detrimental. The current crisis of replicability is a side effect of this. Tenure is often for soft money positions one way or another: the university might guarantee you a position, but what that position looks like is a different issue. If anything tenure needs to be strengthened.

People get hung up on tenure when it's really irrelevant.

Top-heavy administration is a problem, but capping salaries isn't really the solution. What is required is self-governance, where administration is voted on by professors and staff, policies are voted on by professors and staff, etc. Basically, things need to be more democratic.

I also think research funding and public financing is to blame. Basically more state financing has to occur, or more reliable federal funding needs to happen. Grants are underfunding things, and are too unreliable and fickle.

Finally, none of this will change until employers in the private sector change and stop mindlessly demanding degrees, or demanding overly specific degrees. E.g., assuming that you can't do X unless you have a bachelors or master's in X. In some ways this is most important. Employers don't want to train employees, or do research, or even be bothered to discern actual ability or qualifications, so they treat degrees like rubber stamps, and demand that universities do their research for them for free. The bubble exists because the private sector demands the bubble. You could cut government loans, but that doesn't cut demand for the degrees.

Like a lot of things, the crisis in academics is very complex, and a lot of proposed cures are actually worse than the disease.

I think what it is going to amount to eventually probably is some hard decisions as a society whether or not we really value education and research or not (from K-12 all the way to post PhD). Many of these issues are pretty similar to healthcare in this regard, and other public services.
I understand that TLS 1.3 is in draft stage currently. Is there an expected date of when TLS1.3 is supposed to be available in common libs and browsers ?

Also at current rate it sounds like it’s going to take years to phase out TLS 1.1. Would mordern browsers take a stand and refuse to initiate connections for older versions of TLS and its not just browsers right, there are other odd ball clients and enterprises using IE7 or something super old. I liked the way Apple had taken a stand with App Transport Security initially but even they backed down and pushed the deadline indefinitely.
