You don't forgive someone who has wronged you for them; you forgive them for you. It is part of healing.
The Chevrolet Volt handles this much better. It will fit two 5' 8" people fairly well with a little effort.
A real apology requires a clear statement of what you did wrong, why it was wrong, and what exactly you'll do better in the future.

This apology doesn't even say what he did wrong. (He "damaged trust," "caused pain," "behaved in ways that were inappropriate.") He didn't admit that he sexually harassed anyone, say nothing of sexual assault.

Without a clear admission of what he did, I have no idea if he knows why it was wrong. He's done this many times! Does he think sexual assault is a bad thing only because it would "damage trust" in him, because it tarnishes his reputation?
While there are many that share your view, the legal situation is far more complex. While disputed, there is in fact legal precedent for considering "grazing rights" to be private property, with the annual fees being paid for the administration of the program rather than being a rent designed to be equal to the free market value of the grass.

Did you know, for example, that grazing rights aren't something that is available on the "open market", are specifically attached to piece of private property, and are generally transferred (and inherited) along with it? That the IRS considers grazing rights such an integral part of the valuation of a ranch that they are subject to estate taxes?

Here's a simple introduction:

And some legal theory:

And a recent update in central case that's been ongoing for decades, alternating between many (mostly Nevada district court) decisions favoring the ranchers, and many (mostly California circuit court) reversals:
https://www.fseee.org/2017/03/08/nevada-rancher-hage-loses-i...

This is unsettled law, and calling it "an effing joke" doesn't do it justice. You are welcome to disagree with the ranchers' arguments, but if you care about truth, fairness, accuracy, and respect, I don't think you should call it a joke, at least until you've looked at the situation more closely.
I think once a company settles in a place, they like to keep their talent together and glom people from different places --and it's only after they have distinct subsidiaries that they can geo-diversify (as GOOG slowly is, and IBM has done).

I still think for the most part, it's people coming after the companies rather then companies coming for the people. At YC talent goes to YC, rather than YC going to the talent, for the most part)

Occasionally, you get companies having satellite offices to accommodate some people (like Japanese auto opening design offices in the US and US companies opening offices in IL, to have access to some hard to get talent) --but I think that is a minority.
If you will do me a favor, you can read all the comments that I've made in this thread. I have already explained that and answered those questions.

I support all legal speech. That's the line. If it is illegal, don't do it. If it is legal, you can do it. Just because it is legal doesn't make the speaker a good person.

I do not want to limit speech more than it already is. I'd like to expand it in a few areas. Specifically, they have been making use of free speech zones since the 1980s. This was done by the DNC. Yup. The DNC were the first to use free speech zones. Outside those zones, speech wasn't free.

Now, the front steps at the SCOTUS building are no longer a free speech zone. They moved the zone away from the public entrance. I want that fixed. I want all of them eliminated on property owned or paid for by the government. I want all public areas to be free speech zones.

I love me some speech. I really do.

I feel the same way about the government forcing me to house troops. I feel the same way about firearms. I can go on...

All lawful speech should be permitted. Nobody is obligated to provide a platform and nobody is objigated to listen.

Really, take five minutes and read my other comments. It will probably help. If you still have questions, I'll try to help.

I don't expect to change your mind, by the way. I just give you a point where you can pick a direction. These same rights I mention, they are also your rights. I am positive you say things that people think are offensive and hurtful. Well, you have that right. I aim to make sure you can keep that right.
This seems to abolish the right to be "innocent until proven guilty". It's always possible to allege a crime that no one can prove didn't happen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot), so without a presumption of innocence, the system essentially puts the accused at the mercy of the accuser.
What does "atleast" mean in this context? What else would metadata you like the submissions to have?
Seattle is very limited with the amount of land available. It's not feasible to build the 18 lane ultra freeway required to allow everyone to drive to their destination.

For better or worse Seattle city planners have taken a car-hostile approach to try and force people onto public transit. Unfortunately they also can't figure out how to pay for enough buses and trains to get everyone where they are going.

Also, my understanding is that there will be a surface street where the current viaduct is which combined with the tunnel will allow downtown access and increase capacity beyond what we have today.

The EMP seemed like a keyframe in the story of Seattle's underground culture's death. It imitated the cool and usurped some intangible thing that had been lingering in the mist for years. It was like your parents joining Facebook and driving you to Instagram. It was a 4chan meme in its iFunny phase. It's the joke, slapping you right in your weary face.
You have inspired me. I'll torrent his most recent ISO and spin it up in a VM over the weekend. I will give it an honest look and be objective.

It was declared ready for "experimentation" about a year ago or so, so not very mature. If you are on current upstream versions it is not too bad, I'm using it here and there on not very important things.

It is a bit hit and miss with kernel/nftables versions on release distributions. I probably would not use it with any kernels older than 4.10 for example. So any current LTS kernel is out.

At 32 feet, it does seem like they have plenty of width for 3 lanes each way with no shoulder. 12 foot lanes are the standard for 60-70 mph interstates, but Aurora's top speed limit is like 45 mph or something and I think it's even lower in the current tunnel. So 10.6 foot lanes seem pretty reasonable.
And what, put in a car elevator to get from the tunnel to first avenue? The tunnel is 200 feet underground at the location of the current ramps.
Would also like to know more about this since I want the best performance from my Kinesis :)

If the speech is lawful, then I support it.

Some speech is considered unlawful and that I don't support. That is a longer subject, however.

I don't think we need 'free speech zones' at political rallies. The DNC started that. I don't like how SCOTUS moved the free speech zone away from the building. Things like that.

Lawful speech should be the default. Unlawful speech is afforded no such protections. I'm happy with those limits. Some speech is legitimately harmful.

Read the whoe thread. Even read the people I replied to.

I'll try to help you out, if you want.
Yeah I agree with that. I guess we could extend the "Thank you"s down beyond Git to K&R and those before them. Because without C Git would not exist.

But Git's invention was recent enough, in the context of Github, that the real merits should be directed to Linus.

But yes, Github slapped a nice Rails webapp + UI on top of Git and basically changed how software collaboration worked. Pretty much overnight. Sourceforge, Bitbucket, and Launchpad were all a nightmare. Github changed all of that.

Amends and penance are not the same thing. Amends are about reparations for the victim. Penance is about suffering for the perpetrator. These things are mostly not related.

Given there aren't a lot of citizens randomly stopping officers to accuse them of crimes... I don't see a problem. The ISSUE right now is exactly what you've described - officers accusing citizens of crimes they didn't commit without proof beyond "their word".

As someone who has been falsely accused by an officer (fortunately a minor traffic violation that I was able to make go away by paying a small fine), I've lost any faith that officers are there to serve their constituents.
The same principle should be applied to web design as well. Keep it simple.
It's my understanding the first tunnel plans were for a six-lane tunnel. I have not seen the elevation/depth info on the tunnel, but even at 200f, you just need a longer ramp to ascend.

I can overlook a lot of coding issues, but seeing so many in a few lines is a sign somebody doesn't know what they're doing. Just using a linter would probably find some of these automatically, so the fact that they're there is a strong signal that the dev didn't even know/care to use one.

I'm making assumptions based on experience with C# codebases and I think my argument on double vs float is solid. I don't think I've ever seen floats used in a production C# codebase because there's no point.

Overboard maybe :) but I still think whoever wrote that is very inexperienced.
Australia isn't big enough to have a car manu, it has been a ridiculous politically driven process and was promised to have ended over a decade ago after one of many payoffs. We paid subsidies in excess of the total wages etc of the people employed in the industry and built cars which were sold cheaper oseas than they were here. Good riddance.
I was actually thinking of it as an extension of the presumption of innocence on behalf of the citizenry and keeping the burden of proof on the government as a check against it's powers. Cops are citizens too but there is some level of surrender of your individual rights e.g., when you join the military. It'd be similar to that.

Another thought is the panopticon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon . You don't necessarily need to stream and record every cop's cam, just randomize it without indicating to the cops who's getting recorded or when.
No, I'm pretty sure I can say that I never sexually assaulted a woman when drunk (or, of course, sober) 7, 10, 15, 20, or 40 years ago. So, I think, can most of us.
And if police catastrophically fail half their interactions, we should criticize them, too.

We only end up discussing the tiny fraction of police cases where things go badly.

How can it be an apology if he doesn’t say what he did? This almost looks like he has been blaming alcohol.
Http 2 handles loading multiple files better. So bundling isn't that important anymore.

On the list of public apologies, I give him a B+. he could have done better and he is not going to make everyone happy with his effort. It looks written by him. It looks sincere. It looks honest.

Yeah, a good apology should be several pages long but this was pretty good and well above some of the others we've seen.

'I am sorry that you felt abused and that your friends encouraged you to humiliate yourself in public...'

So, yeah, it's pretty good compared to some of them.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question here. Unless you didn't catch the sarcasm of my original comment?
I'm curious what the "highly educated" part has to do with anything. Would anything be different if they weren't?
This makes me feel that no matter how reasonable ppl seem, once in power there is always a high probability of abuse of that power.
I admit that I'm quite curious about determining exactly what features could be left out of maximally-explicit Rust, because it would determine the obvious MVP for an alternative compiler, that could technically compile all Rust code with the caveat that you would need to first losslessly and automatically transform the source (which theoretically shouldn't be too hard to add the Rust compiler, e.g. it already has the capability to print Rust source post-macro expansion). Without macros, you'd need neither an implementation of pattern macros nor syntax extensions; without inferred types, you'd need neither a trait resolution engine nor anything of Hindley-Milner; with every identifier fully qualified you wouldn't need any name resolution rules... and we've already established that a borrow checker is unnecessary to implement if your goal is to merely compile Rust code that has already been typechecked. All that together means that you could have a legitimately useful alternative backend with so, so much less work on behalf of the implementor!
Could you be more specific about which details give you this impression, and what you mean by it? I haven't interacted with Gelman personally, but having read both the NYT article and his response to it (as well as reading his blog and regularly his papers occasionally) I see him as someone who cares about "the truth" more than social niceties, but not as someone who gets any joy out of causing harm to others (which would be my definition of a "huge asshole").
You're giving him a B+ for an apology that doesn't even state what he did?
Looks pretty bad to me. Null conditional doesn’t really matter because the code likely predates its existence. But...

1. Knows how to use "using" but doesn't use it for myConnection.

2. myConnection.CreateCommand would be more idiomatic than new SqlCommand ... cmd.Connection = myConnection;

3. Doesn't know how to use "using"! using (DataTable myDt ... then goes on to "return myDT"

4. Also just noticed the oddity of myAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd although cmd is immediately disposed after that, then Fill is called later.

That's one function although the rest seem to repeat similar sins (CTRL+C, CTRL+V).
> I support all legal speech. That's the line. If it is illegal, don't do it. If it is legal, you can do it.

Legal where? Speech that is legal in one jurisdiction is illegal in another. I live in Australia and you sound like you live in the US, and every country (and even states/provinces/etc within the same country) has different laws about what speech is allowed and what isn't.

The law is not fixed, it changes over time. (Even constitutionally entrenched laws, such as the US First Amendment, change, albeit more often by evolving interpretation than by textual amendment–however it is interpreted now, a future Supreme Court majority could always broaden or narrow that interpretation–and I'm certain that to some degree it will change.)

Part of the debate is not just what the law is (in whatever jurisdiction), but also what the law should be. Saying "I support all legal speech" doesn't do anything to answer the question of what the law should be.
I suppose it’s possible to get a pretty good env with vim (you’re losing a lot without a mouse), but damn it’s a lot of work to get there...

Before you tell me how it’s totally not, all the things you listed require specific knowledge, configuration, and then custom non conflicting keyboard shortcuts (unless you like manipulating your tools 10x slower than ide users). For me it’s just not worth the work. Vim is best for me in its default state, and I can still take advantage of it being available everywhere that way. Ides make crazy configured vim portable by being the default state of the ide and downloadable to any pc (with limits) from the internet. It’s a much lower maintenance approach for me. I’m glad vim works for you, but I find it hard to believe it’s a very practical choice (unless you’re extremely attached to your custom setup).

Also vim seems less discoverable to me. If something’s not a keybind you already set up, you need to look up plug-in docs, or tab through all the hundreds of possible commands. In ide land you open your command Paulette and type a relevant word or plugin name and everything you could do along with keyboard shortcuts is displayed. Not to mention it’s displayed in a way that doesn’t disrupt what you were already looking at. That’s a nice advantage of a GUI.

When I picked up vim and committed to it it’s because I read online it was better and probably thought it made me more badass, but eventually after a few years I returned to IDEs, because they’re genuinely better suited (imo) for programming. Vim is a headache for a second rate ide, and continues to be headache to use as you go (ctags for every language? Official language plugins? ...)

I get you like vim, but using vim seems stubborn to me.
I can only think how to disable it using uMatrix. Sadly, that's not a setting to apply anywhere in a browser, like Webpage Media Size Limits or something. Perhaps uMatrix developers could help by adding a feature in its Options next to Privacy tab for Media.
Yes, because I'm comparing it with the apologies we usually see.
Putting Sundar Pichai in this highly public position was a great move for the founders.
Sorry, I was being intentionally obtuse.

ISO's are options on shares of common stock, which have a completely indeterminate value in most start-ups, because they likely don't exist outside of the company's ISO pool and the founder's stakes, and they never trade.

Investors are all buying preferred shares, which carry a liquidation preference, sometimes a multiple of their share price. Any exit below the sum of the outstanding preferences mean that any common stock is worth $0.

Companies take advantage of this to file 409a's saying that common stock is worth a fraction of the latest share transaction for preferred stock. I've seen ISO's with a strike price of 30% of the last preferred shares at Series B. Certainly, they are worth less than the preferred shares, but are they worth 70% less? Who can say? But - it's in the best interest of employees to keep that value as low as possible.

On the day of an IPO, all preferred shares convert to common stock, at which point the value has to be 1:1. In order for the company's prior 409a's to pass an audit and not get the ISO plan disqualified, the values have to converge smoothly leading up to the IPO.

I was being obtuse by pointing out that if you judge the gap between the value of common shares and preferred shares to be smaller than what the 409a dictates, then you are "in the money" on grant day. Also, a lot of start-up employees don't understand nearly as much as I've written above about ISO's (I know, because I was one once), and so it just looks to them as if they were handed free money.
> A real apology requires a clear statement of what you did wrong, why it was wrong, and what exactly you'll do better in the future.

He might have apologized directly to his alleged victims we don't know that. I don't think he should admit anything to anyone else, but to his alleged victims on a personal level.

If I read this forum, it sounds like nobody has never done anything wrong, behaved inappropriately in anyway, ever. I don't believe it one second, harassment(or even assault) isn't just sexual, it can manifest through other sorts of psychological violence at work for instance, and nobody is ever called out for it.

I'm not talking about leniency or understanding, something despicable happened and anybody can judge, but it should not be about one name or one guy everybody can scapegoat to mask their own shortcomings and wrongdoings, in a way to expiate them, as it happens way too often when things like that get public.
That's a hell of a curve he gets to take advantage of, but also, even Harvey Weinstein did better than this.
