Yea, that's what you say. Someone else will have different standards of what counts as a compliment or unwelcome advances, etc.

I personally just never engage with work colleagues in those terms. Keep everything formal and polite.

If you think I'm cold, well, too bad. But you can't accuse me of any kind of harassment.
I sunk > 1000 hours into Warframe. It's an excellent game in my opinion and I'll return to it at some point (haven't played with the latest changes).

For people that like crazy movement in a shooter: Give Warframe a try!

Perhaps you could reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15692577 and explain how this is done?
Your phone will probably turn up in a botnet soon enough, but atleast you had the moral high ground.
Yes, we are also collaborating with them. The HW is the simpler problem to solve. SW life-cycle for creating tags, embedding them in the code and ensuring that teh binary has not been tampered is the challenge and to ensure portable tag semantics. We have a dedicated security group working on it. Unlike US universities we have carte blanche for hiring faculty and scholarships for MS/PhD. Funding is not the issue, getting good faculty and students is ! Some of you should head over here for an MS or PhD.
How many direct supervisory relationships does each manager have? How bushy is the supervision tree?
Yeah, you want to be in control of the company making the horrifying robots.

If you aren't controlling them, somebody else is.
That's short sighted.

Work out more = eat more.

Overtime your metabolism goes up. Then you eat even more. Since energy can't be created or destroyed, you're technically just letting it pass through you –in and out. Since over time, the amount of energy going through your body increases, I'd argue that you gain more energy, both in and out through exercise.
Well the context in this case (per the article) is the workplace, and the article appears to focus on the US, to disambiguate the laws and norms expected.
As someone who identifies mostly as a libertarian, monopolies are inherently bad and almost exclusively caused by government. If a company has nothing but market share and reputation to keep users or prevent competition from stepping up that is not a monopoly. I think you meant simply that being a popular service is not a bad thing. Corporatism and government kick backs and protections cause the economic issues and stifle small competition.
I can't say "hey nice haircut"? Just because there may be an ounce of sexual undertone? There's a line not to be crossed, but Jesus you're talking about neutering our humanity here.
China is building a DMV branch powered by AI
I'm very confused as to if you believe that to be fast or slow. That seems incredibly fast for "an engineer"...
Just read reply. I'm confused then because both books are about different things. I guess we could also say it was "mercifully shorter than Leo Tolstoy's book".
The flaw in that plan is that they'll share it in the most unhelpful way possible. See: Patents.

I'm guessing they mean because it may be related to insulin resistance / sugar consumption, but I'm not sure.
Is Expressif firmware still required to run µp on ESP8266/32K?
I have a far more mundane use case - you have friends over, play songs off of youtube all night, after the fact, would like to publish a playlist on youtube, but it's not simple using browser history. I always figured I'd have to write a plugin and find clusters of short youtube sessions and go from there, but as a backend guy, I might play around with this stack instead.
So you're saying that the Women's Suffrage movement changed nothing? The Civil Rights movement didn't have any effect? The Sexual Revolution did little? What about the unions? I can go on. Are you saying that none of our bloodless revolutions made any changes to the social order?
i wanted to make one of these but in the form of a watch you wear on your wrist. its interesting how some people are fascinated with these kinds of countdowns and others hate looking at them. me and my other cs buddy both think its interesting -- he has the tim urban poster on his wall. another friend of mine doesnt even want to look at it.
PostgREST looks fantastic. Anyone used it in production?
Oh no, not a month's allocation of mobile data down the drain!

An impersonal passive botnet would likely do less damage than status quo "apps" that are built to siphon as much personal data as possible.

Never mind these few Mifi devices that I have - default configs that listen on wan telnet with static passwords! Well known domestic manufacturer, not worth attempting to report - the manufacturer obviously did not care, has long moved on, and there's countless other models with the same problem.

The panacea of every node being secure with an identifiable owner fell apart long ago. You can either cling to that belief in a fundamentalist manner (and prop up the totalitarians who wish to track communication ever more). Or you can work on understanding how non-technical people actually attempt to moderate their own exposure to these insecure-by-design surveillance devices.
I ride motorcycles, could die anyway!! pretty cool project though
Do they yet have a use case for these things that doesn't involve military?
If only Android devs only had to think about 3-4 of the most recent OSes...

There are outliers in either direction, but these days the minimum supported version tends to be either API Level 19 if you're conservative, with a stead shift towards ... API Level 21. For reference, Oreo is API Level 26.
>What do you think is going to happen?

Most likely, nothing. Less likely, it would be received as some level of "creepy", either at the moment or at some future HR review. It simply does not feel worth it to take the chance. I suspect that most of the feeling is the result of anti sexual harassment propaganda rather than actual consequences, but that is not a minefield I feel like dealing with on a daily basis.

>of course you have to use complete strangers as an example, because we're attempting to determine if the gender is the variable of concern, not your relationship.

Gender could be a variable of concern in established relationships. For example, if it takes women on average 4 times as long to reach a given level of interaction with me compare to men, then gender is clearly a variable. Empirically, I can tell you that the gender of my co-workers is highly predictive of how personal I get with them.
Started seeing AppImages more and more. Seems like it might be pulling ahead in the AppImage/Snap/Flatpak cross-distro-packaging race.
DFvakso has the outside world / big picture. A height map would handle this just fine.
I think it’s absolutely conceivable that a male manager might fire a male employee for making a lewd joke.

The other things? From both men and women I would guess the appropriate response is to inform the commenter that their remark is no ok. If it keeps happening you might want to get rid of them, sounds like a bad workplace environment.
no the context is the specific workplace and the specific people involved from what i am discussing.
Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that's just how it is for you. It does depends on the context, but when you interact with others outside your circle (or hire outside your circle), you have to be somewhat sensitive to their perceptions. I think that is just "human interaction 101."
I have seen it argued that the reason for this is that employers are prohibited from using intelligence tests to evaluate job applicants, so they use years of education as a proxy for intelligence.
The word you're looking for is "harassment", not "abuse".

Married couples call each other "sweetie", as do parents their children. It's not an appropriate term to use with co-workers (either male→female or female→male, both of which I've heard).
> 2. Consider the potential negative ways something you may say could be perceived.

Number 2 is the problem, there are just so many ways that something innocent could be perceived as negative. Rather than expend that mental energy it's easier to just avoid saying anything at all.
Well, on this they are dead right.
Your problem may be more your choice of vendors than anything else. HP's big printers (e.g. M600 family) are still pretty nice, but I've started to avoid them for anything smaller, and god help you if you look at the truly low print volume stuff from them.
Sounds pretty unfriendly, but no, no suggestions really - it's up to the company what they want to give you and some companies are just stingy like that. Wish I had something more for you.
A long and perhaps terrifying article. With all the statistics, a strong case is made that Australia is in deep, deep trouble. What I'm having trouble with is understanding why this is not talked about more in more main stream avenues?

The AI for humans series is some reasonable, high level approach. http://www.heatonresearch.com/aifh/

After you've got a grasp of what these things are doing then you can move into the how. For that you will need some math background, with emphasis in calculus and probability.

After that, you can take a look at PRML. https://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Recognition-Learning-Informat...

Good luck.
For a lot of these, it's not the individual events that's the problem - it's the volume of it. A lot of your examples are things that I don't think you should want to do for anyone, if you value fairness.

- Telling someone they look good would be fine, except that person hears it repeatedly every day, everywhere from walking down the street to when they go to a restaurant to the extent that it greatly exceeds comments on the quality of your work. So it leads to a lot of doubt - "I get few comments on the quality of my work, but a ton of comments on my appearance. How does society value me?"

- Often lewd jokes objectify minority groups, and while they can be funny in the right context, when the minority member is the only one, or there is a power relationship, it's not appropriate. Imagine you were the only man on a team of women, and your boss kept telling day in and day out (really funny) jokes about how men are useless, only sit around and watch sports, get fat, etc. At first, sure, you might laugh but when you heard this day in and day out, it'd get old pretty fast - especially when you were going for a raise, or asking for a project. "How are husbands like lawn mowers? They're hard to get started, they emit noxious odors, and half the time they don't work." Ha. Ha. Ha.

- Inviting someone for a drink is fine. If it's work, make it a group thing, there are easy ways to make this comfortable for everyone. And apply this to every outing - it makes it more comfortable for everyone.

- If you want people to dress better, make a dress code and refer to that.

- And don't tell people they are too uptight, it's not actionable. Address specific behavior.

- Telling someone to be nicer also isn't actionable - assume good intent in people. Address specific behavior.

- Parties, again just invite a few people. And invite their partner, if they have one.

Following this model, I have great friends from work - men and women. But it starts with treating people fairly.
Under-reporting of Lyme actually shouldn't impact a finding of no link as as far as I can tell. Despite the under-reporting, we still know where Lyme is more or less prevalent in the US, and I believe there will be very big differences due to climate and where ticks who carry Lyme tend to live. If prevalence of Alzheimers doesn't correlate with those big differences, that seems pretty clear.

(edit) Thinking about it more, I think the anecdote you mentioned is a bit different from the parent posts. The anecdote is about a misdiagnosis (he only had Lyme, not Alzheimers), while the parent posts are about people actually having both diseases.
I mean, a lot of it can just be people are different and will find they need to do different things in order to interact with others successfully without problems, so if you need rules, I suppose that's just you.

An aside, but regarding your "coldness." I don't think that's a problem. Most people I think even when they are "warm" aren't necessarily naive and too willing to trust although society stereotypes them that way.

Check printer specs first and select something with built in PCL or (better) Postscript support. With native Postscript you may even be able to just get a PPD file as the "driver."

Won't help as much if you want color though, particularly inkjet color.

And for your parents, see if they're putting the current year on searches - on Bing and DDG that ends (or did end recently) in much worse results because the original sites often don't include dates but malicious ones have all the same keywords plus the year. In my recent experience adding the year meant > 90% malware results on the first page.

Google was much better about this a month or two back.
Because Sydney barely had apartments until recently. Cross the bridge and it looks like a country village 3km from the city. Not many development sites and houses are very tightly held so it's tough to acquire houses for demolition and agglomeration into a development site. If Sydney is going to be a real city it needs the development that's happening now.

I've also noticed cranes here are used for midrise apartment block construction which I'd never see for comparable building in the US. There's a lot of safety rules and a strict building code so maybe that's why.
Yet another company driven out of China by government-industry collusion.
Among other things, this seems to carry the implicit premise that prosecuting Google for antitrust violations is a populist issue. I would wager that if you polled it, you would find the exact opposite.
It does seem strange to have a schizophrenia medicine as the starting point. Is there a biomedical reason which makes the drug to be digitized well?

Improving adherence is the whole point of a digital drug but they don't have any data?
I made one of these as a watch face for the Pebble. https://github.com/beala/death_clock

Pebble is defunct, but I'm sure you could do something similar with one of the current smartwatch offerings.
of course but the problem obviously arises when someone new come on board. do they adapt to the culture or walk away or do the culture respect the subjective opinions of the newcommer. in my world that should be up to the culture as long as nothing illegal is going on.
It's a bizarre premise, because US productivity has outpaced both the EU and Germany over the last 25 years.

In 1995-1996, US and German GDP per capita were almost equal, at $30,000 to $31,000. Today the US is about 40% higher.

US manufacturing has grown substantially over that time. The vast gains in productivity are precisely the cause of the employment plunge in manufacturing. Real manufacturing output is up 78% since 1991.

Germany has maintained its outsized manufacturing export base in part through high degrees of protectionism and riding an artificially cheap currency (cheap for Germany, not for Spain, Portugal, Italy or Greece), to the detriment of Eurozone rivals.
The problem is max pooling, a common technique, which destroys such information to gain some invariance in the representation.
You should install security updates. Period.

You don't help anyone by feeling better because instead of having the vendor maybe sniff on you, a hacker can do it instead.

I also haven't found any apps yet that intentionally waste my monthly datacap.
Again, I don't see that as a problem. Instead of paying their employees in cash and dreams, they're forced to just pay in cash. If employees are less keen on the same amount of cash without the dream, too bad for companies too marginal to pay a prevailing wage.
Indeed.

Really I want a decentralised system where I have my cake and eat it too, with a single mechanism for accessing my content while also not giving a single company control over and profit from the entire industry.

Oh, and this hypothetical decentralised system has to, well, not completely suck. Which means it's never going to happen.

No matter what you say or do, someone will find a way to call it sexist.
But the money's good while it lasts, right? And you can always 'fake it until you make it' on the job too, right?
When I was in the military, between boot camp and going to our first school, we were en masse "volunteered" to be patients in a mass casualty drill at a hospital in Chicago. I'm not sure if it was really worth the trouble. Most of the triage staff rolled their eyes and looked annoyed when we showed up. It was a lot of effort - probably 20 busses full of 19-25 year olds staged in McCormick place all day, trained, made up to look wounded - I can't imagine what it cost to put on, and it seemed to only piss off the staff.
Containers are different from Profiles.

Containers only separate Cookies and login data, to make you look towards the internet like multiple people.

Profiles on the other hand separate everything, as if you had two completely independent Firefox installations. Different browsing history, bookmarks, themes, extensions.

They work very well for allowing multiple people to all have their own Firefox, even though it's the same installation. But also really well for single-person use, for example I have a normal Profile for everyday browsing and then a webdev Profile, where I don't put in content/tracking blockers.

You can manage Profiles by typing "about:profiles" into the URL bar or with this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...

I have used FreeOTP, Google Authenticator, Authy, and LastPass Authenticator. Of those options, I use Authy because it is also free and has hands down the best UX.

However, I think that current solutions for soft token two factor authentication (2FA) generally do not provide a good user experience for end users. When trying to login and get work done, it is frustrating that the typical 2FA login flow requires a context switch to a completely different device, especially one that will likely distract you with non-work related notifications and content.

That is why I am working on a project called Two Factor Buddy (2FB), which integrates directly with the browser to automate the entry of 2FA codes during the login process with all of your favorite third party services (e.g. Github, Google, AWS, Stripe, etc). This means you can maintain the 2FA level of security on your accounts and get to work more quickly.

If 2FB sounds interesting, check out a short screencast of what the login flow looks like using 2FB [1] and add yourself to the email list [2] if you want to get notified when you can try it out.

Options in a private company are a terrible compensation structure for employees. They're horribly complicated, and even under today's laws taxes are due before any profit is realized. If we want to keep the idea of ISOs as an alternative incentive structure, they should be taxed later rather than earlier — at the time they can be converted into some liquid asset (cash or publicly traded stock).

Practically, ISOs today are used primarily for two reasons beneficial to founders and investors: to pay employees in dreams rather than cash; and to claw back compensation from employees who leave the company (most employees who leave will never be able to exercise their options).

I approve your message.
Another idea, indirectly related, is to simply stop treating all university degrees equally.

The whole reason student loans are so broken right now is because they cannot be dismissed, so lenders are incentivized to lend with reckless abandon. In the worst case scenario the loan converts into a lifetime rent on an individual that automatically adjusts for inflation. On the other hand, the idea behind creating special rules for student loans is easy to see. By removing any risk in lending, that 'reckless abandon in lending' removes any real up front financial barrier to education and investing in your society's education is as good as investing in your society.

The problem here is people are then using this to get degrees that are more recreational than productive. In high school kids are taught that the key to a good life is to get a college degree. And so many people, who are otherwise unmotivated or unambitious, simply choose easy and interesting degrees. The 'soft' degrees absolutely have a purpose, but a person coming from no means choosing to major in a soft degree is not going to meaningfully change their expected earnings. All they're going to do is remain a person of no means who is now also deep in debt that can never be dismissed.

So the idea is to maintain the current system, but restrict lending just to degrees that are statistically likely to 'substantially' effect a student's expected earnings. When you remove the illusion of 'any degree is fine' you start to bring the connection between education and earnings back to reality. And you also push students towards a path of greater capability which is not only good for themselves, but also for the nation as a whole.
