EDIT: Twitter literally suppressed the leaks of DNC and Podesta emails hashtags and admitted to it:

Is that conspiracy enough for you?

How about this:

On October 31, 2016, The New York Times reported: "CNN has severed ties with the Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, after hacked e-mails from WikiLeaks showed that she shared questions for CNN-sponsored candidate events in advance with friends on Hillary Clinton's campaign."

And that's just off the top of my head.

EDIT 2: Can you explain how all these very similar headlines were possible without there being a conspiracy? And yes, those are real, I saw it when it happened.

Firstly Ethereum could only be considered "stagnant" from a price perspective as a great deal of development is definitely ongoing.

So a better question might be: why is Ethereum not experiencing the same levels of hype and price growth as Bitcoin right now?

My guess would be that rising ICO anxiety is causing enough flight from Ether to other currencies to suppress any hype-induced price bumps.

This is what some of the comments are missing. Telecommuting doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. There are obvious advantages to being in the office; but I'd wager those advantages aren't quite as severe by cutting office time by 1-2 days a week. Plus, it allows workers to feel refreshed from dealing less with of the negative stresses of commuting.

If this seems silly or not important to you then you aren't aware just how widespread the usage of digital government services are in Estonia.

As one example most government procurements over a certain amount od money happen as e-procurements with strict time limits that can't be changed and bids need to be digitally signed. If you can't access digital government services you can neither access e-procurment site nor digitally sign you bid.

I agree. This is a user-hostile trend that needs to stop. I really hope the phone does terribly so the company realizes that they need to listen to their users.

Almost all these jobs you've listed are on the list of things in the near future that won't require people (or at least as many). I called my electrical company with an outage, an automated system answered and I gave my customer number. They told me my meter could not be contacted. It then said other local meters could be contacted and it was likely a issue that just affected me, so they would send a truck. 20 minutes later the lineman/repair person gave me a call from their cell and asked a quick question about what my was going on. 10 minutes later they were there replacing the meter.

If your job can be done remotely, your job can be done by a computer in 90% of the cases. Good luck fighting for those jobs in the future (especially when they get sent overseas for 1/5th the cost).

holy crap. Does anything actually get DONE in this office? A whole lot of deciding and planing and interruptions and workshopping.

Sounds like your company lacks vision and leadership. It seems like a disorganized mess where there's no clear product vision, no clear leadership and horrible communication that requires a series of interrupting, impromptu meetings.

You described a day where code probably gets written for all of one hour -- the rest of the time is spent just feeling good about how much stuff you've gotten done. Meanwhile -- what have you actually shipped?

“Thanks Greta”- the first search engine that reads your mind
Hi everyone! Me and my friend we're partecipating in the Hackathon organized by Product Hunt!

Have you ever looked for something so particular to be really hard to type it in a search engine? You have to spend a lot of time clicking all the results without finding what you exactly looked for!
In this case, you probably wished that computers could connect directly to your brain!

For this reason we're working on "Thanks Greta": the first search engine that finds what you have in mind! You won't even need your keyboard anymore!

Strange, these things seemed absolutely self-evident.

Perhaps some combination of voice, gesture, and 3D could be useful specifically while in-game. But for productivity, I don't think there's anything better than a traditional workstation.

Voice has privacy issues. Gesture recognition is inaccurate and causes "gorilla arm" syndrome.

3D doesn't really add much, and in fact for productivity some people think even 2D Window-based GUIs are cumbersome, and that is the entire motivation for tiling window managers. From that perspective, 3D is even more chaotic and cumbersome.
Those are perspectives grounded in history, but I think you’d have to qualify socialism in that case as “market socialism” or “democratic socialism” as it’s understood today.

Marx did lay out socialism as the next stage to follow capitalism but didn’t provide detail about how it was to work, which led to the various types of socialism we have today. Still, many argue that these are all essentially vanguard movements for the communist ideals you laid out: the abolition of private property, social classes, and even the family. This is still the source of a lot of skepticism about the effects of these types of systems. Even without the revolutionary ideology, socialism as it’s implemented today seems to be breaking dependence on traditional social structures.

There is some value to commuting for work. I attribute it to hippocampal remaps when moving to the workplace, which helps you get into "work mode", associate your workplace with actually working and also give your "home" cells a rest. The solution to this would be "work centers" in every neighborhood where you can go to feel like working.

I think some psychologists should do some research on the subject , remote work is only bound to become more common.
Though the beauty of the English language is such that the word "modern" refers explicitly to now but the word "contemporary" can refer to any time period at all, depending on context! With the ultimate fun being that contemporary can mean exactly its own opposite: "DaVinci's work surpasses all contemporary art." Does that mean DaVinci's contemporaries or the writer's contemporaries?
Right, but point is, you can quite easily have Mobile-ID and your ID card, and if something happens to your ID card you can still use Mobile-ID. I think.

If there's no redundancy measure for the ID card system failing - for example, automatically extending deadlines - that's a problem, and an easily solvable one at that, since it's mostly policy. It's not something against the ID card system.

After using most CI/CD tools I can tell you that for your tech stack there is no reason to use Jenkins. It sucks, typical Java software that looks like shit, has a buggy interface but somehow runs well enough to be "Enterprise ready".

Go with Drone, you will thank me later.

I would implement the CI pipeline first, write tests afterwards and make sure to integrate with Mattermost/Slack, which will make you aware if something is broken.

I am currently on a Gogs, Drone, Mattermost stack and am loving it. Everything was super easy to setup and runs just perfectly fine for months now without me doing anything other than the initial setup. Jenkins was a pain in the ass and it was the best decision for me to get rid of it.

The beauty of Go is also that it isn't using any resources, this is why I run Gogs (runs perfectly fine with 512MB RAM) instead of GitLab (you need 8GB+ RAM).
How to Simplify, Accelerate, Save and Reinvest with Mainframe and Cloud
As a manager at a large corporate the process for incurring expenses drives me nuts.

There must be a better way. Even though I have a corporate credit card I still have to keep invoices and assign each credit card expense to the right spending code etc..

Really? Donuts seem like a pretty common office carry-in. At every place I've worked, someone would bring in donuts at least once a month. When I worked at a regional pizza chain, the morning shift would make donuts out of leftover pizza dough and dump chocolate syrup on them.

It feels like they are the quintessential breakfast food for feeding groups (much like pizza is). But maybe that's only a midwestern thing. But I'd be surprised because most major donut chains (Dunkin, Krispy Kreme, Tim Hortons), are not from here.
