> In the US, you'd have to prove that they are lying which is obviously impossible.

It doesn't sound like you understand US law very well.

Proving that someone is lying is not impossible.

Holding an entity liable for defamation is also not impossible accordingly. See: the recent Virginia case, which Rolling Stone magazine lost by jury verdict. [1]

You can sue someone in the US for defamation at any time you like. During the process, you can show the lack of evidence on the other side, and you can show the evidence to support your case. In a culture that strongly favors free speech, there should be a high burden to criminalization of opinion.

If someone claims you sexually assaulted them on June 24th at 8pm, at Some Restaurant - and you can demonstrate you were never there, you're very likely to win that in court. In the US, the consequences of losing such a defamation case, are typically very punishing, which helps to limit any kind of actual free-for-all of false accusations.

>there's a huge psychological burden that comes with living for a long time

What is the burden?

A burden I foresee is that people are going to have to choose between life extension and assisted suicide.
Startups for the Rest of Us is one of my favorite as well. Lots of good tactical advice on there. If you find yourself looking for something that is more inspiration (at least in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey) I highly recommend Stanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series:

This was one of my talks that covers dropping out of college, a funny story about trying to figure our pricing, as well as goes over transitioning a business from charging for a product to charging for a service based on value:

When I lived in Japan I was told there are over 1,000 counters, and that one's mastery of them is part of how people determine one's level of literacy. Perhaps only about 20 get used all the time. And certainly you can get away with using only the default counter (but you'll sound illiterate).

Romaji is also used on signs and other material aimed at foreigners -- Japanese people generally can read romaji because, after all, they are taught English in school. Romaji is not much of a cognitive burden, I agree, since it's very simple, goes along with English, and there's only one romanization.
Pivotal | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin | Locations worldwide | ONSITE

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. We pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platforms available: PCF and PKS. We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project and we're a platinum CNCF member. There is a lot happening right now and there are greenfield platform opportunities. We dogfood the cutting edge of our technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services).

Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode, is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

To see open jobs, go to pivotal.io/careers. To apply, please go to my referral link: http://grnh.se/xiy346

You can also email me at jchester+hn-dec17@pivotal.io if you have questions. I won't reply to copypasta. I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here. These help me earn a referral bonuses, which I appreciate.

Work on what you want, within reason. Help define the company and take ownership of your chosen field.

Registered in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, we are a small, mainland China based, international team in the mid prototyping phase, approaching prep-for-manufacturing on a novel series of distributed food service locations supporting automated food preparation and retail. You can look at them as scaled down factories, robotic chefs or one large distributed just-in-time custom food manufacturing system including the associated logistics network. Fresh ingredients and personalized customer orders in, tasty cooked food out.

We are in perfect unison with the largest trends in the sector (convenience, personalization, mobile ordering, commodification of last mile delivery, Chinese 'New Retail'), are already oversubscribed for our next investment round and have recently doubled down by moving to Shenzhen. We have great experience with China, less in manufacturing, lots in complex systems and emerging technology, and multiple successful exits globally.

Mandarin speakers well regarded, but Chinese knowledge is not required. Clear written technical communication in English is mandatory. Skills and experience first, qualifications a distant second. We respect execution.

I don't know if there's a good resource such as TV tropes, but board games absolutely have tropes, usually in terms of mechanics. For example there is worker placement, card drafting, "coints" (coins are points), hidden victory point cards, etc.

tbrock gave the work-around, but as for the "why", it's probably because Debian uses glibc for its libc, while Alpine uses musl. musl aims to be a much more compliant libc than glibc, so when you tell it to look up a name, it probably always does so. Like tbrock said, installing a local dns cache should help (or, failing that, an /etc/hosts entry?).

Society often encourages and rewards sexual aggression and dominance in successful men - such behavior is symbolic of their status and virility, and has been since the days when sultans collected women in harems. Society is just an abstraction of primate hierarchies built on violence and sex with a thin veneer of civility applied, not that that excuses anything. But the point is, this behavior isn't unusual.

It's valid to ask what's wrong with these men, but you should also ask what's wrong with cultures which reinforce predatory masculinity and allow it to propagate.

Yes, he allegedly harassed an Uber employee, but he didn't work for Uber, the alleged harassment took place outside of the office, there is no allegation that he used his position as an investor in Uber to take any adverse action against the woman, and nothing in the article indicates that the harassment was ever reported to Uber, so there is nothing here that would indicate that Uber is at fault.

Meanwhile, the woman who was allegedly harassed refused to comment for the article, so with regards to that particular allegation it is just gossip.
ugh!

I've only had it for a week, but I managed to run the GPS for 12 hours and the battery was at 65% afterwards.

From that, I would say >30 hours is do-able.

I last charged mine 3 days, 16 hours ago (the phone app tells me). It is currently at 36% charge. That is with sleep tracking and constant heart rate monitoring as well as getting all of my notifications from my phone. 5 days is legit.
The article is from 2015, and it's tinfoil hat claptrap. Not sure how this made it to the front page.
If your app is opening a new connection for every query, that might be your problem. I would look into having a pool of connections.

Alpine uses musl instead of glibc. Maybe you can find a way to run nscd on it but it doesn't seem very idiomatic for a container platform.

I wonder how practical it is to create "thing" with no exposed face, no wireless, no connectivity. It'd provide continual heart rate and respiration monitoring. A few dedicated buttons that just log when they're pressed - when parsing the data you can map that to whatever meaning you want. Offload csv files via USB, and do with it what you wish.

perhaps bluetooth so the would-be hacker could write a phone app to present data

Donation based funding verses decentralized equity.. And we're not going to say one is better.. Crypto has become so politically incorrect on this forum that we now have to preface logical observations with these sorts of disclosures to avoid the downvote brigade.

If we look at the crypto market cap it becomes clear where early stage capital is going. To where the innovation is happening. But you'd never realize it based on this echo chamber.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

python, ruby, perl5 ... agile and fun to work with.

perl5 is the fastest. Being around for so long means there are a lot of libraries at http://metacpan.org/ . If interested, search for... "twitter", "google", "oauth", or any other technology/api to find out there are a lot of new and maintened libraries.

perl5 libraries have great documentation, ie:

- https://metacpan.org/pod/AnyEvent::Memcached

- https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Net-Twitter/lib/Net/Tw...

A lot of perl communication happens directly with developers over IRC. Yes, perl community runs irc.perl .. if IRC is not your thing, you can email the developer shown at metacpan (example in links above)

Also not less important is the fact every library uploaded to metacpan gets tested in multiple platforms: https://cpantesters.org/distro/U/uri.html And, what this means is the library author uploads the library and 2 days later its possible to check if library is broken in any platform.

And of course a lot of top notch sites use perl. Many dont promote it, but check metacpan.org home for example of some sponsors.

Too bad some people that never learned perl spread the wrong message.

It is a great language. And perl6 is another language that just happens to be named "perl" and was developed in conjunction with top perl5/other lang. developers.

I love the fact that this hits the heart of the feedback problem in today's super dynamic teams, who relentlessly focus on speed of execution. While that is not a problem in itself, it does sometimes lead to adjacent issues like absence of actionable feedback loops for team members, that'd help the organization much better in the long run.
How to Use of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Construction: In-Depth Guide
Thank you, I always find listening to startup podcasts remarkably inspiring, even though I'm not sure whether or not I want to work on one yet. The "you don't need to be perfect, but you do need to care" message a lot of them share is applicable to a lot of things I work on.

Anecdote: I was working at a restaurant this past summer and was cleaning up at the end of the night while listening to the AirBnB episode of Masters of Scale with headphones. When they brought up the presidential cereal boxes I laughed, and one of the waitresses who I had been hitting it off with recently asked what I was listening to. I said a podcast about AirBnB. She looked at me funny and walked away. Smooth. I guess not everyone shares the same enthusiasm.
I read it. Very, very low signal to noise.

Lots of innuendo, with few specifics. Seems mostly credible -- well known or unsurprising information -- but whispered in hushed tones.

The relevant function returns an opaque integer to signal failure/success. If this were typed properly — e.g. a type that represents either “Success” or “Failure” explicitly (rather than implicitly via an int) — the bug would be unlikely to happen, since it would require the function in question to explicitly return “Success” when in fact it had failed (as opposed to the opaque 0x01).
It's 2017 dude. C is weakly typed with a wholly insufficient type system. We're talking about statically checked type inference systems now.

A better type checker, better standards and practices, and better discipline around customer facing code are all required, but folks like you demand that every programmer must do it all by hand and then never make a mistake. It's ludicrous.

This is like you saying, "Well cars are so unsafe you can't expect to live if you ride in one. Look at these pictures of horrible car wrecks. These Model Ts are death traps. But we all drove to the talk in Teslas and we're not even sure what the heck you're on about.

Don't use your lack of (or refusal to obtain) familiarity with type systems and type theory as evidence of their inability to help with these problems.
