I know this might not be a popular opinion. But I've basically instituted a modified version of this rule for myself.

Billy Graham and Mike Pence are definitely not a fountain a good ideas, but that doesn't mean this rule is that bad, despite the nonsense place it comes from.

Whenever I need to have after work dinner/social communication with a female associate after 5:00pm, I just go out of my way to invite another woman so she won't be alone. If that is not an option I will try to make it a bigger group with men and women. I never shut the door to my office when I am with a woman. If we need to have a private conversation, we do walking meetings around the block in public areas.

This may be shutting some women out of the intense bonding that some male colleges have, but I'm not interested in friendships with men from work either, so I don't think I'm being unfair to anyone.

I also don't stand too close to women. I don't ever comment on their physical appearance even if they got a great hair cut. And I don't need to hug anyone I work with ever.

Maybe this makes me a jerk. But I feel like it keeps the relationships I care about most (those with my family) safe.

Not to mention phantoms, where you can see other players's ghostly images occasionally moving around the world.

Other subtle cross-over features exist too. In Dark Souls 1 you are able to hear other players ring a bell after defeating an early boss. A rare mob can also spawn in your world when a player dies with many souls (currency), or loses a powerful item.

It definitely does much to make the world feel less lonely.

This is a fake feedback report for an interview, to show what companies and candidates can expect.

Thanks for your comment. I do think it's important particularly from a feedback perspective. Since companies don't give feedback, this is one of the first things to attempt to help candidates learn about what is being evaluated and how to improve.

I'm hoping this is a first step to finding out a better way to correlate those things, for now I think that things that help candidates find jobs are a good step :)

I agree, and I'll explicitly add "history" as a part of "science" in the research sense you meant. I'm having a heck of a time trying to access historical records of medieval England from here in Silicon Valley because, although the information I need (land deeds, court records, etc.) was uncovered & translated by Victorian historians, and much of it exists in both text and image form and is ALREADY ONLINE in Google Books, the various English universities & their presses, English historical associations, libraries, etc., all jealously guard the information instead of releasing it, even to the point of preventing Google from showing it.

Example: Cambridge Univ Press takes books that were Victorian databases of medieval records, and in the name of "protecting our precious history", they just photocopy the Victorian pages, reprint them on newer paper, and put them under new copyright. If you want to look something up in the 10-volume database, then either blindly buy the $300 set of books and hope to find some items of interest scattered therein or go to the nearest library that has the full set, which turns out to be on the other side of the planet at Leeds Uni in Yorkshire, which will allow you to see these ancient texts printed in 2013 if you pay for library use and make an appointment at least 2 days in advance....

Meanwhile, the full text of the books is on Google Books at Google's expense and available in any browser, but Google is forced by the "protectors of history" at Cambridge to cloak many of the pages of 1000-yr-old data, because history is too precious to allow the unworthy to see their photocopied Victorian texts without first going on an old-fashioned quest, bribing the boatman, answering the troll's three questions, etc.

My hope is that at some point there will be a cultural change among "historical preservation" organizations where they decide that the greatest thing they can do to promote their field is to find every original document in every collection, carefully photograph it in hi-rez using whatever optical frequencies bring out the most faded detail, and contribute it to a free online host. Next step is then to create and freely post transcriptions, translations, and indexes, so that ANYONE can use the data for research, not just those who have enough gold in their purse, time for the quest, and can "answer me these questions three".
Here's a good book on it, "Triumph of the West" by Roberts.
None of this has actually proven to be the case though, with the only notable exception being the Duke lacrosse player fiasco. At best you can try to extort settlement money but when/if it goes to court, the alleged victim is always at a severe disadvantage.

In every case lately, we're well beyond a solo "he complimented me about my breasts at the Christmas party one year and it made me feel uncomfortable" and well into molestation, sexting with minors, drugging, public masturbation and beyond. Their claims are validated by the sheer number of claimants involved, scope of claims, number of repeat offenses, and even evidence gathered.
> The game limits multiplayer interaction big time. It's no more than 3 parties allowed in an instance at any one time

Just one quick correction. Destiny 1 limited instances to 3 parties, but Destiny 2 changed that up a bit. Patrol areas are now 5 parties (up to 15 players) and social spaces are 9 parties (up to 24 players).
Where is the evidence?
Hmm, that's a good alternative. Do you have a link to the F-Droid version? I can't seem to find it there.

That is an extremely simplified version of what happened. She did far, far more than just say, "He touched me." And those in the company felt the accusation credible enough to choose to no longer associate with him.

I'm sorry, but the "What about the men?" take is quite childish, and treats women like they have cooties or something.
Interesting. Do you know where he works now, or is he at the same role.

Its interesting how these days things got tad better. When I worked for a few big tech corps, you always got these people who were there because there always been there, and they never cared to moved on with technology/people/you name it, but because of who they knew/what they knew/how long they been there, noone wanted to touch it. Nowadays it seems so fast paced that there is not enough room for those type of guys even at the top corps.

Started late 18th century, after several decades of European countries and US states abolishing slavery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slave...). Why, when do you think it happened?
Probably not much of a risk if you're outdoors.

Personally I've found it to have an effect when indoors, even if there's an open window. (I don't live in an especially warm climate, though. Windows are not typically open all that far.) I had a friend who was a very heavy dope smoker and I'd often feel a bit stoned after leaving his house. Nothing major, just as if I'd had a few drags on a joint.

(I used to be a heavy smoker myself, years ago, so the sensation is quite familiar to me.)

I don't know why it's such a strange idea that this could happen. You are after all breathing in marijuana smoke. Second-hand or not, over a few hours it seems to add up.
Why then did Oppenheimer (not a Christian, BTW) say that science could not have begun without Christianity?

How much of your example is survivor bias? How many roman aqueducts didn't stand to this day (and in fact failed in use)? Well, we'd only know if someone made a record of it, and the record survived, or if we found the remains in an archaelogical exploration. Did they have the science to build aqueducts (and bridges, and buildings) that survived, or did they have some experience and some rules of thumb, and some of it was done well enough to survive 2 millenia?

And you point me back to the Greeks as originators of the scientific method. A quick glance at Wikipedia reveals the claim that Aristotle originated that way of thinking. But that would be the same Aristotle who claimed that it was philosophically or logically obvious that men had more teeth than women but who, despite being married twice, never actually bothered to check. (That may be to say, induction via observation is fine, but I think the real scientific method requires experimental verification, and I don't think Aristotle was very big on that.)
Understood. I don't want to deter you; I will instead suggest taking a little more time to learn about telecom, SIP, and running telecom infrastructure. Just glancing at your repo, I see you are trying to send/receive the SIP yourself, which is ambitious. SIP interop probably accounts for a larger-than-it-should-be percentage of support issues; non-negligible amounts of time are spent arguing with other carriers and phone manufacturers about interpretations of the SIP RFCs.

Spend some time trawling the various soft-switch mailing lists. Join the VoiceOps mailing list and trawl through there. Read the SIP RFCs and curse their use of MAY and MIGHT and SHOULD! :)

There's a lot of wisdom baked into the projects about how to handle phone calls; I don't know that there's money to be made redoing their work to be honest. Scratch the itch for sure! But be honest in your expectations - you're probably looking at years before your project becomes viable (unless there's a JS/Node SIP stack out there you could plug into already?) in a commercial sense.

Best of luck!

Not in all states. The states where billboard advertising is illegal is due to the consent decree.

Wikipedia:

“Passed in 1997, the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement bans outdoor, billboard, and public transportation advertising of cigarettes in 46 states. It also prohibits tobacco advertising that targets young people, the usage of cartoons (such as the Marlboro Man or Joe Camel) in particular.[69] In the states which have not signed the agreement, billboards are a major venue of cigarette advertising (10% of Michigan billboards advertised alcohol and tobacco, according to the Detroit Free Press[70]).”

How Is Compass Real Estate Scamming Investors?
In practice, RSUs already work that way: you're taxed on RSU delivery, which in the case of a public company is almost always the same as the vest date. Usually the company will sell a portion of the RSUs vested to do tax withholding on the spot, and then you're immediately free to hold or sell the remainder.

I the case of a private company, RSU vesting/delivery means you owe taxes but (usually) can't sell them to pay for it, which is (also) no different from today.

For those paywalled out, here is the meat.

> The dilemma is laid bare in a recent study by Uber, conducted in cooperation with a New York University assistant professor, that found that no matter which direction fares go, drivers inevitably take home about the same earnings over time. That is because of how easy it is for drivers and riders to jump on and off the system, according to the study

> When there is a fare cut, drivers’ pay per trip falls but riders flood the service, offering more business. A price hike eventually lures more drivers than Uber needs and scares away riders. The changes are short-lived as an equilibrium is reached after about eight weeks, and drivers’ average pay comes out the same.

> All of this means Uber, and other ride-sharing services, must lean heavily on pricey incentive payments—cash for completing a certain number of rides a week, say—to bring driver earnings above what typically amounts to around minimum wage

I can't stand Destiny 2 because its a game built around having a social group (most the content after a certain point requires a group of 3-6), yet provides zero tools to meet people and even makes design choices that inhibit any kind of communication with people you don't know.

It was a small company, sort of a family feel, so things all ran differently. He wasn’t actually related to anyone though.

No I don’t know what happened to him, and neither do the other people who worked there that I’m still in touch with. We are all curious to know if he’s doing a similar job somewhere else or is doing something else entirely.
That's not supporting evidence; your believe is incorrect. Vesting is unrelated to liquidity and can occur without the ability to sell shares.
I'm torn on how useful this kind of comment (or gossip?) is. On the one hand: it's context. On the other: the witch hunt Has Begun™.

God forbid I ever end up in a situation, and find people telling similar, about me. Even if completely true, this could still be irrelevant. How would I feel about my past self indulging in their consumption, as I am tempted to, right now?

How do others feel about this?

Edit: And: does it matter whether it turns out to be a false accusation, like he claims, or a real one? Because if it does (which I think it does), shouldn't we withhold these stories until the verdict is definite? But if it doesn't, then... surely, that can only mean that this comment is irrelevant?

I’m not convinced that "career death due to fraudulent sexual misconduct allegations” is a ramptant problem in tech. Based on nearly 100% of women I’ve ever known in tech, the vast majority of sexual misconduct either goes unreported or gets reported and ignored. Maybe you have some better data about this, though. If so, do share.

And besides, I have a hard time imagining that a large VC firm would fire one of its founders on a flimsy claim. He’s obviously extremely valuable to RFJ, so you’d expect they’d have done some basic cost-benefit analysis before getting rid of him. To me, firing him sounds more like “preemptive damage control” in the face of very credible claims than it seems like “overcautious PC policing”.

In many cases, Java actually can't give you near equal or better perf. "Our optimizer is smart enough, you don't need to care about stack-allocating things" has been the promise for as long as Java existed, but it doesn't really deliver that outside of fairly simple cases (which are also the ones that are typically benchmarked).

One thing that's particularly cool about a lot of these earlier recordings is the amount of automation that's used. Obviously you can use MIDI in realtime for automation, but a lot of the studio use of these early synths didn't take advantage of it very often. Probably why you're way more used to hearing filter sweeps and the like in analog synthesis.

Chowning's "Sabelithe" (on Spotify and Youtube) makes really cool use of synthesis to transform percussion elements into melodic elements over the progression of the piece.

> We’ve seen that Android devices appear to be getting more out of date over time. This makes it difficult for developers to target “new” Android API features, where new means anything introduced in the past few years.

This used to be more of a problem, but the support library deals with this more nowadays. Not for every change and new feature, but for most of them.
And if you're that afraid, you need to ask yourself why.
The typical argument in that favour is that a product comes with certain intangible benefits, be it social signalling or personal actualisation that helps explain why firms with strong brand identity can push higher margins in otherwise competitive markets. This is a partial explanation to the extent that it doesn't play nicely with another prevailing theory that mindshare and niche dominance enables market power through greater information asymmetry. The presence of a larger car market curtails how market power can be exercised, to the extent that your hydrocarbon cars are substitute goods for electric ones.

I have no real issue with Tesla from a competitive perspective. I'm simply making two fairly seperate points, that monopolies are always bad, and Tesla has accrued many more benefits from the state than penalties, on account of its size.
