I have made this mistake all the time in life as well. Even with some things that seem to have no political, religious, etc. angle to them, and are just very easy to Google and verify in a heartbeat.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I thought I'd open up for example. In university I adamently refuted the moon landing conspiracy of a group partner. I didn't realize this would offend, but it did. She did a lot of extremely vindictive things after that, and even tried to (with some success, I might add) incite anger towards me from other group members.

Some people become extremely defensive and then aggressive, perhaps it is especially so if you are the nerdy-humble-well-intentioned-Alice-low-gravitas type...

Knowing when to correct someone and when to keep quiet is something I have become a lot better at with age. It took a lot of learning the hard way though.

I would hope others are understanding that not everyone who is perceived as a jerk, actually intends it.

I was under the impression that unlike MySQL, Postgres can use two indecies at once when doing a query. So in MySQL you could do a query like `SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE a = 1 ORDER BY b` and you'd want an index on (a, b). But in Postgres you could have a separate index on a and b and you'd get the performance gain. In fact I thought in Postgres land you'd be better off creating them as separate indecies.

Is this info now outdated?

Considering I work in the Irish Government, Dept of Foreign Affairs, I would appreciate you providing what it is that HMG has offered, that we the Irish Government have accepted and that you claim the EU will not allow.

The users speak with their actions... If they do the thing you want them to do more with a 'bad' UX than with a good one logic dictates they prefer the bad one.

It would be morally presumptuous on my part to say that what I find to be annoying is not what they prefer.

"with alarmingly ambituous and and political breadth"

what is your excuse for making this comment? it's alarming and ambitious for "china" to have ambitious politial "breadth"

your grammar is good enough that you aren't an idiot. but someone with that "level" of "grammar excellency" cannot say that on this website without there being something going on. and it looks more in the direction of bad for you than not.

you are saying china should be literally taken over and forced to have no military against anybody. historically your a raving moron. but what gets me is that "futuraly" you ARE a raving moron too. in physics

you don't get that even if you were "all there" AND you "didn't like china"; the MOST you could do, without literraly being a moron, is say like tarrif or embargo or whatever.

your arent there dude, literally. your "level" of grammar shows you ARENT "way way not there." but you ARENT, ALL THERE
Do you mean original as in first-as-a-series, or original as in something that hasn't been made for tv/movies yet? If the latter, there are tons:

- The Expanse

- American Gods, Good Omens

- Kingkiller Chronicles (being produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda)

- Wheel of Time

However, if you mean the former, then I agree, although there are new shows, they just don't have high budgets like those with followings already.
The Silmarillion is by far my favorite book in that set. The story of Beren and Luthien alone would make a fantastic series. I hope that's the route they go as well.

It's about family dynamics. Parents who can focus on providing for and raising their kids will have a better outcome than those those that struggle to put food on the table. If the parents have hope and a means to deliver, the whole outlook of the kids changes from a life of coping with hopelessness to looking towards a future that they have influence over.
Firefox containers are awesome. Once you've got a GMail account it's really easy to fall into the trap of letting Google track your everything. GMail, Google searches, Google Maps, You Tube.

Containers splits them out beautifully, with minimal tracking.

With Chrome / Chromium, Google wants you to log-in using a Google account, so you fall into the trap again.
I know many early stage employees that achieved significant financial upside by working at early stage startups. Working at an early stage startup is probably the only low-risk way of achieving that. Creating your own startup is of course always an option but requires significant upfront capital, a huge opportunity cost in terms of how much you work and a significant cut to your salary. (if anything).
Even today, he's the obvious standard for what a great high fantasy novel is as well as the standard every other fantasy author will be and is compared to.

That's exactly what's happening right now. It's no coincidence Tech barons are pushing this concept before Congress cracks down.
To my mind Google had only two choices. They could either fire the guy or use the viral memo as an opportunity to be a thought-leader. There was no way for them to pretend it didn't happen and no other 'quiet' way of handling it. They should have challenged the content of the memo while applauding the courage it took to write it. They had, in the author, an employee willing to think critically about something they say they give a damn about and someone with demonstrated capability to generate discussion. Why not leverage that opportunity to work towards making the (tech) world a better place for everyone?

I'm going to say something that may be unpopular. Hopefully my karma can handle it.

The latest analysis I saw of this from Fenwick says that this is only applying to non-qualified stock options. Employees get NSOs when you vest too much to get ISOs in a calendar year, based on the vesting schedule and value at the time of grant, not fair market value at time of vesting of the option. That limit is $100K, for people who didn't know.

[edit: clarified the issue of cap calculation since my original post was in error. The point doesn’t change.]

Who else gets NSOs? Non-employees, like directors, for instance.

This tax bill is pretty awful. However, it's not obvious to me that it destroys startup compensation -- ISOs will still be given to most employees, until you are getting too big for them, when you get RSUs, just like today. If anything your average tech employee will potentially do better -- I had to sell a ton of stock simply to pay AMT on the rest of the stock I exercised at my last startup. AMT goes away in this plan, so people won't have to deal with that issue.
Liquidity is not a requirement for a transfer of an asset to be considered income. If your company paid for your apartment, that's income, despite the fact that it may be impossible for you to sublease it.

Certainty of future value is not a requirement for something to be considered income. You get paid in dollars all the time, but that's just an asset with fluctuating value.

There are several loopholes that get around the definition of income to defer or avoid taxes for certain types of income, but that's exactly what this is: a loophole for the wealthy. And I have no problem with SV employees enjoying tax breaks. I just can't reconcile SV's love of taxing other people, avoiding it for themselves, and still claiming this is a moral, rather than selfish, stance.
Assuming you believe free markets work (and assuming the UBI is paid for by tax increases instead of just printing more money), the answer to "how universal basic income would result in something other than a proportionate increase in the cost of living" is: that's not how markets work.

Increased demand will result in increased supply except in markets/locations where the supply can't increase.

They should require voxel video of a subject going through various motions as part of the passport photo and or checkin process. Maybe updated automatically when you get your boarding pass. Have the user repeat various lines from a teleprompter while a time of flight camera records a 3d scan of their face. If the lines to be repeated are well crafted enough, the eye dilation and pulse response should determine if they are patriotic enough.

I enjoy .NET a lot, but as polyglot consultant we currently are only focused on .NET for straight Windows development.

For us to consider to use .NET Core instead of Java or C++ for UNIX-like OSes, it still needs to catch up a bit with its bigger brother.

Some might argue that at this point, it’s their only real relevance, yet a hugely valuable (and legally protectable) relevance. And they know it, if their recent advertising messaging is any indication.
Yeah, this works better in one on ones, but usually I don't think it is that hard, particularly if the other person respects your opinion. The trick is rather than shooting down ideas, present alternatives, and guide the other person through finding the flaws on their own.(Note: Doing this without sounding patronizing can be difficult)

Sweet, maybe we'll get book 3 on TV before in print like Game of Thrones!
As someone with a budding interest in this, are you finding this stuff on the web? Any specific sites or books where you're finding these implementations?
So from reading this over it sounds like you are enabling an endpoint on your site with both CSRF protection enabled that also sends CORS headers to allow for cross origin ajax calls. This could be a workable solution for cross domain calls on the same subdomain (like a.example.com and b.example.com but not malware.com). Since you can scope cookies to domain suffixes, you can have a csrf cookie that can be read from javascript from a number of subdomains and included in a header but can't be read from other domains. Same origin policy prevents domains from reading cookies not scoped to their domain so this should not have any security issues. Note that if you care about confidentiality, you would have to put your CSRF protection on the GET requests (which is a bit abnormal) with CORS since Access-Control-Allow-Origin allows for reading data cross origin (in addition to making requests).

On the other hand, it seems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy#Security_Ap... is flawed and should be fixed. The section seems to be directly describing a CSRF attack and then saying CSRF protections are not effective which doesn't make sense.

Agree totally.

In an idealized "intellectual-only" world, humans would be Spock-like and be pure rational actors.

But we aren't, not even close. (And I would argue that that's a good thing, but that discussion is waaaaay out of scope).

As soon as you accept that humans, including yourself, primarily make _emotional_ decisions and not rational ones, it becomes easier to steer decisions in a healthy manner.
This hits close to home for me. I've received feedback (never from management—from peers) that I've exhibited some of the "brilliant jerk" behavior (hopefully more Alice than Bob, but I'd rather not be a jerk at all...). A few reflections I've had:

1. Part of it is personality differences. I often default to taking a fairly aggressive approach to discussions, and appreciate a spirited debate on the merits of a particular issue. Depending on who I'm talking with, this can be a good experience, as long as neither side is taking it personally—and I have plenty of colleagues that seem to enjoy working with me. However, this rubs some people the wrong way, and I can come off as domineering if I'm not careful, especially to people that prefer to avoid confrontation. Of course, how I am perceived by others is my own responsibility—but my default personality seems to be more compatible with some people than others.

2. When paired with a strong personality, I tend to take an approach to balance them out. All of the times I've been called out for being too negative, it's been when I've been working closely with a person that is overwhelmingly positive. I feel that I tend to be more critical when I feel that others are not properly vetting new ideas. On the flip-side, I've also noticed that when I'm talking to someone more negative, I tend to take a more positive approach, especially if I feel that they're ignoring the positives in an idea or situation.

3. I tend to be more harsh on people that I perceive as at or above my level—I feel that honesty is something that everyone deserves from me, but I'm direct to a fault. However, with people that I perceive as junior, I find I'm naturally more diplomatic and constructive—I don't want to demoralize them, and I am thankful to be able to play some small part in building someone else's career. I need to remind myself that all people—even those that I perceive as senior to me—benefit from affirmation and constructive feedback; it's easy for me to underestimate the power of my words.

The hard part for me is to identify which parts of my personality are jerk-like, and which parts—when channeled appropriately—are useful (a team lacking critical voices is also going to be ineffective).

I fervently believe that the greatest challenge in our field is not technical—it's interpersonal. Rarely do projects fail because of technical reasons; instead, they fail because of communication breakdown, interpersonal conflict, and other "soft" attributes. I hope that I can be part of the solution, rather than the problem.
If it is indeed style recalculation that is causing the problem, then Quantum (57) may well solve the issue, as Stylo both improves the dynamic restyling behavior (the style sharing optimization is more flexible) and accelerates the slow case in which restyling needs to occur from scratch (via parallelism). I can't promise anything without being able to reproduce, of course.

Naturally, like all browser engines, Gecko takes performance on popular sites such as Facebook very seriously.
Yes, as a startup founder I'm quite worried about that exact effect.
Hm, I disagree. Usually when you read a book/watch a movie, you do have a pretty good idea who will survive. I mean, even in the original trilogy, most people knew how things would go down since the books were well known. I would say more interesting is how it goes down, and you can still have tension even if you know the final outcome. Same thing with folk tales: you know the hero is going to win, but it is still enjoyable to hear the tale told.
That is another hunch that I was considering posting but personally I'm skeptical of this. While immigration reform may have fell on its face due to opposition from tech firms, I find it hard to believe the Trump administration would conceive such an effective means of targeting them.

It stands to reason that they recognized NSOs/ISOs being used heavily (perhaps more than anyone else) by tech firms but this just seems like a recognition that wealth taxation woefully needs reform. The estate tax is being retired so this seems to balance it out.
The USA had the WPA, which did something akin to my proposal. Its budget was 1.3bn in 1935 (23.5bn in 2017), and relative to the US military expenditure (521bn in 2016), it's just not that much money for an incredible amount of public good.

Wikipedia has an excellent page about what the WPA administration accomplished over 8 years -- I think it's an idea worth reviving.
But that's the thing: you can do that today: live minimally for a year at big-city wages, then buy a trailer in rural Alabama. If people don't consider that a viable option now, neither will they with any feasible basic income level.
Wouldn't flying imply a much higher energy usage then driving ? Because then weight is carried by the roads and only one directional force is needed ?

And flying being faster implies even more energy because moving slowly is generally more efficient ?

Especially on shorter distances I wonder how the energy needs compare for flying vs driving.
Maybe they could do the "Tale of the Children of Hurin," but the Silmarillion covers thousands of years and hundreds of characters. It would be like a multi-season adaptation of the Old Testament, i.e. a disaster.

Not's not just outdated, its wrong (in context of question 2) which is about indexing both, `where` and `order by` clauses. In that case you must provide a single index to benefit from the index order (so that the database doesn't actually need to perform a sort operation).

I think it's pretty weak to assume that because MS isn't supporting your extremely rare and complicated scenario they are obviously malicious.

.NET Core has been a huge rewrite of the old framework, focusing on common scenarios which are easily cross-platform first, then the harder ones later. E.g. System.Drawing, which they eventually included (in 2.0 in believe) via incorporating several implementations for each target architecture, including one from Mono.

They'll probably get to AppDomains eventually, assuming it isnt outright impossible on linux/osx or introduces a massive security hole.

But not doing it right now cause you want it isnt evil: which is more important? Full support for System.Crytography, or say Oracle Ado.NET, or runtime loading/unloading of dlls? Hint, the answer isnt dll unloading.
You jest, but I think one day we'll discover something that looks a little like socialism, a little like "Star Trek-style" communism, and a little like free market capitalism. And it won't be ideologically driven, but based on all the little experiments that worked combined with all the things that technology and social changes have enabled.

Ideologies are epistemic pathogens.
I've never come across this problem, at least not in software 'engineering'. I have met the odd jerk from other departments, but 99% of people who try that stuff will back down when you push back. Dealing with jerks is a good skill to cultivate (one that I've only recently got the hang of).

Denying someone's access to his own email inbox can have dramatic consequences on his life. Not as dramatic as being detained and tortured obviously, but still pretty serious.

There is already a case where private companies can't shut down their service to you as they wish, it's utilities (water, electricity, gas). I hope we can recognize at some point that Internet access should count as a utility too, and some core services like email service too.
How about using a VR display to give them a mediated representation of the world that constrains them to the allowed route?

> A.I. Health Care

Actually near to affecting real customers. For some narrow tasks (e.g. melanoma detection) we can start to get the cost down to ~the cost of harvesting the tissue. More and more of these tasks could start to become cheaper and start taking more of the guess work out of Health care.

Other than usable phone trees I haven't seen success here. Lots of work was poured into this last year and very little really lasted.

The non invasive stuff just isn't that interesting and the invasive stuff is so far away from even the horror stories of early adopters.

If there isn't wide adoption then this is just a toy for the rich, maybe it could improve some emergent care situations if it's more usable than helicopters for hospitals. If there is wide adoption it's a public safety nightmare. Living with cars that are stuck to the ground is dangerous enough.

> The Quantum Computer

There are many extremely hard problems between now and quantum computers affecting people's lives beyond breaking RSA. Quantum computers aren't a panacea, they aren't better at every problem, they won't recreate the amazing doubling of power per cost that existed for most of computing history.

The thing is, when debating, it's useful to think if your opponent has a falsifiable claim. Since you don't, this conversation is useless. I literally cannot provide any evidence for country comparisons, because it's literally impossible from your point of view. So I'm done.
While I agree that it's better not to be rude to people, I think it's common for intelligent people to become impatient when forced to share their understanding in what is to them excruciating detail. It is correct to overcome this frustration, but it's also important to acknowledge its existence and accept it as understandable, if only in order to overcome it.
