I'm a little suspicious they created a situation with a lack of emotional attachment to the toys, because of a short duration. Many kids seem to glob onto one or two toys as their favorite, prompting complaints from parents that they don't play with the new toy they got them.

A lot of kids seem to end up with an extremely dirty and damaged doll that they loved to death.
It's not really a "loophole", per se. It would be ludicrous to say that a bank should not be able to exclude someone from hiring if they have been convicted of a serious financial crime, or that a day care should not be able to exclude a convicted child molester.

Now, will other companies take advantage of this so that they defeat the spirit of the law? Perhaps. But the fact that they need to make an assessment means that might be subject to review at some point.
It does seem to be the case ...

What I would like to know is what cost savings were achieved by this process. I worked in their parent company's supply chain dept. I know for a fact that the shipping data they have does not reflect true costs. It is modified internally as a warehouse management tool (Eg. if you want to drain inventory from a warehouse, you set shipping costs as zero).

There are no true dollar costs anywhere in their databases. Also, instead of evaluating all the parallel combinations, they use a branch and bound heuristics.
Would you ever hire a convicted paedophile as your babysitter?

Thankfully, the law agrees that you shouldn't have to, and allows for the following:

"If an employer does decide to deny an applicant the position solely or in part because of the conviction history, the employer must make an individualized assessment of whether the applicant’s conviction history has a direct and adverse relationship with the specific duties of the job that justify denying the applicant the position."
Note that there is no ban on running a background check. This information will come out then. No reason to require people to disclose something you might not have cared about (as an employer) to begin with.

That works if you need to communicate with them one-to-one. But does Signal let you easily add any other Signal user as a contact? What about when your kid wants to talk to their friends on the app?

To me the appeal of what Facebook is doing here is that it lets you give your kids freedom to use the app while letting you as a parent create the whitelist of who they're able to talk to.

Poland as one example gets very upset from time to time regarding Germany and WW2. I forget the exact context now, I think it was involving the Penrose voting suggestion (or shortly after that).

The internet does not make countries obsolete. Who thinks that is inside a bubble that can burst horribly painfully.

The internet is a way to share information very fast and very cheap, but that's it. There are still countless of other dimensions that are more important, and they are often organized by countries.

Economic welfare of all regions and decentralized power over/knowledge about infrastructure such as software is important. It is very much not irrelevant whether a project is developed in Europa, China, USA, India or Russia.

I expect authorities to take into account where the majority of the development is happening. They should do that.

EDIT: Replaced the wrong word 'fairwell' with 'welfare'.

Cool.Yeah there are bits and pieces that I think don't fit right even after they flesh out why the character acted in a certain way. LeMarr's statue grinding was one. I get how the last episode kinda explained it, but it still feels 'off'.

> But they're not regular people, they're highly trained explorers

Part of what the writers seem to be doing is feeling out the purpose of the crew and ship. Their mission statement is pretty vague, but a ship like that probably requires a certain mix of specialists and generalists. So, I'm not sure they are actually 'expert explorers'. It feels more like a redemption story for a team filled with people that fell from grace in one way or another. Like Malloy is an amazing pilot, but dumb as a bag of rocks in other ways. The crew as a collective seems to oscillate between expert and idiot which I've seen happen plenty of times in group project settings, especially when you have a mix of motivations and drive. By all appearances to the the higher ups (reports, academy grades, etc.) they are expert explorers, but they have plenty of flaws that the show celebrates (sometimes too much).

I also think episode 3 was set up to be a kind of turning point for the seriousness of the show. They thought they could go in and argue like one of their beloved TV shows and received a tough smackdown. That might be why I let the trial scene slide but not the statue grinding.

> Am I really supposed to expect that the crew I saw in episode 3 is the same crew I saw in the other episodes? I could believe it if they showed that the admiralty was so disappointed...

That transition over the first 4 episodes is part of what sold me on the show. They suffered a big loss and stepped up their game afterwards without needing an authority figure to intervene or punish. The sense of taking responsibility because it is the right thing to do and not out of fear of punishment is quintessential Trek and relevant.

Cool. Cool cool cool...

For reasons of public policy, the state wants to rehabilitate offenders and make them into productive members of society. Making it harder for employers to discriminate against them serves that public interest even if it is against the interest of specific employers.

Yes, so true!

My wife is a Play Therapist with 2 masters degrees in the subject. The organization of a play space with limited and well chosen toys is key.

Additionally if you give a child an electronic toy that lights up and makes a lot of noise and does a specific thing, the kid will usually play with it less, because they find their options are limited. Whereas, if you give a kid a wooden spoon and a pot to play with they can find a 1001 uses for it!

She has a rule for herself to not have more toys than it would take to clean up in 10 minutes.

Here is a talk she recently gave to parents at our pre-school. She talks about this issue at the 33 min mark.

The explanation about it not being racist is simple: this has nothing to do with your race, and more with what your people and army did to them.

Others with the same race as you, but different nationality, wouldn't haven't gotten the same treatment, thus, not racist.

> co's like Facebook that not only has access to far more imagery of faces tied to sentiments and moments but have shown time and time again that privacy is a secondary concern

It's only a secondary concern in the sense that they're trying to find new and innovative ways to violate it. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be a concern for them at all.
So they're just making it more clear to potential employees that if you don't lie now, you'll lose the offer?

Seems either pretty useless and will just waste more of a company's time, or will just encourage more people to lie about prior convictions (as it will be literally spelled out that they'll rescind the offer if they have a criminal history).

> ...there was massive concerted lies and deceit from leave...

I assume you meant "remain" there. But in any case: from whom?

So far you've cited an American news network, financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Citigroup, and some UK journalists referencing hearsay. In what way did these commentators represent "leave" or "remain"?

On the other side you've got Leave.EU, an actual group campaigning to leave, misleading people with the NHS funding claim on their campaign bus.

You are conflating groups who actually actively campaigned for one side of the referendum with some random general groups who stated an opinion - some of whom are not even associated with the UK!

Of course you're going to be able to find some people who thought that bad things would happen; just as it is possible to find some people who thought that good things would happen. But the ability to find people who had some opinion is meaningless in any debate.

There's a long way to go from there to then claim that people who predicted bad things were "massive concerted lies and deceit" as if that's somehow equivalent to a campaign group misleading voters that at one point aimed to be the officially recognised electoral campaigners for the leave vote.

So no, your general point doesn't stand. You have not demonstrated FUD from the remain side.
You're right.

Sometimes it's very small.

I've read a few stories about the lack of confidence in America's missile defense systems. We have THAAD missile [0] in Asia as a counter punch to North Korea but from what I've read confidence in the system is pretty low.

Israel's Iron Dome [1] system seems to be effective but I would assume there are differences in the system and proximity of Palestine to Israel and the missiles fired that allow it to be so effective.

As a further point, the fact that our missile defense systems are so poor just emphasizes how reckless our approach to North Korea is, their missile technology is getting better and better while our defense system is unproven and yet top Trump administration officials talk about war as if it's not a big deal. Truly scary stuff.

On the contrary, Apple explicitly would never in a million years want to do that. That's a massive liability with no upside whatsoever.

Apple treats personal data as a liability and wants to have no more than they need to operate.
I'm interested in the right to be forgotten section but I'm confused as too what this article is saying...

How exactly do you "forget" the data on the logs?

One interesting solution that kills two birds with one stone is if you encrypt the personally identifiable information then delete the private key if there is a request to be forgotten. Has the added benefit of also effectively destroying the data in backup copies too.

A Raspberry Pi is usually just used as a Linux machine, with the addition of some libraries to handle the IO pins. If you're at all familiar with Linux, it's a relatively easy way to start playing.

An Arduino isn't a self-hosting environment (you'd do your actual development on a PC and deploy it to the Arduino), but the hardware's simpler and cheaper. I haven't done as much with it, but there are tons of tutorials to get started with it, and the default development environment will be comfortable if you've done anything in C before.

There are other ways to figure out someone's judgement and character. I've had a couple of interviews where I believe the interviewer was trying to trigger an anger response, I assume to see how people handle stress. I've had interviews where the question of views on sexual harrasment came up. I've applied at places that required passing drug tests before sending an offer letter. In other words, there are plenty of ways to detect bad behavior without discriminating against the 100 million Americans with a criminal conviction [0], especially considering this discrimination particularly effects certain minority groups.

Am struggling to understand the concept of Serverless Aurora and AWS Lambda integration - they highlight that AWS Lambda would scale on traffic and there by Serverless Aurora kicks into support this scale - but there is a limitation on AWS Lambda inside a VPC[1].
So in order to really utilize the Serverless Aurora fully - the Proxy fleet would have special permission to access Aurora?

Also, has anyone solved the issue of AWS Lambda (in VPC) scaling beyond the limited IP space ?

Your criminal history reflects your conviction history, not your propensity to break the law. Most people who don't abstain from alcohol have driven over the legal limit, been publicly intoxicated, and been a minor in possession. Many have been in possession of illegal drugs. Many older high schoolers and college students have committed acts that should put them on national sexual offender registries. If you've done any of the above, kindly show yourself the door so your employer can hire someone with better judgment.
In my experience for "good" salaried jobs, background checks come with or after the job offer (in NY it's after). Do these kinds of laws affect that? If I had a record, I'd rather know up front than accept an offer and then have it rescinded because of a background check.

I've actually had friends with a record accept offers, work at place for a few days or even weeks, and be asked to do a background check (and then told to leave!).

I totally agree with you and have been on a similar mental journey on the last few years. I used to read phenomenal amounts.

But I’ve found myself very disillusioned by the reading of books, to the point that I don’t actually do much of it anymore.

I’m too distracted by the fact that it seems pointless. Or I’m dispirited by the thought that to make it not be pointless requires large amounts of school-like study (notes, self testing, regular revision etc.)

I’m not sure what to do about this. I don’t think not reading is a viable life strategy, I just don’t quite get it right now.
