That's a very interesting idea, although it would be pretty tricky to implement in a way that didn't require self-reporting. The main obvious benefit using a smart contract could provide is automatically making the donation unless you actively lie (or tell the truth) that you didn't smoke at all, and the UI could play that up by asking you if you're sure you aren't lying.
Browser vendors always have the choice not to implement, or to delay implementing, standards are are seeing little uptake. I know, I did this work for over a decade and made many such decisions.
There's an infinite number of functions that can go through two points in cartesian space. What's the simplest? Generally, the simpler the function, the more plausible it is.

To be clear, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hierarchies. I implied that when I said that ‘cogs’ are necessary. Hierarchies are a good way of organizing work.

But, I do think there is a problem with social and economic systems that encourage animal hierarchies - ones where a person’s birth status directly affects their future social status. That is very inefficient.

I don't get it, nobody needs to be discredited, peoples memories and descriptions are imperfect to begin with. All this is doing is providing a sketch that might vaguely look like the suspect, and since they already have that persons DNA, it should be easy to rule people out who get falsely identified, so no jury would be involved yet.

OP - I'd listen to what you've been told so far. I can sympathize with your position (needing the job), but this sounds like bad juju in the end.

You have a choice here; you already know a couple of them. But there is another option:

Talk to the recruiter. This person sounds like he's a hustler; you treat him well (telling him what is going on), well - you'll probably lose the job offer, but what you gain with the recruiter may be much more. You'll be known to that recruiter as trustworthy - and he'll likely convey that to others.

Ultimately, it's up to you and your choice - good luck, whatever you decide.

I think the EU ruled that Apple's deal violated Irish law, not EU law. The 0.005% effective tax rate should of been a fair bit closer to Ireland’s 12.5% corporate tax rate.
Rats aren't just sitting around waiting to be shot. They're very cautious and often hard to spot.

Where you can see them scurrying about there's often lots of people and other distractions, equipment or other obstacles that would make shooting them impractical.

I don't think the NYC subway crew would take too kindly to people shooting up their equipment to get rats.
From a technical perspective, that seems like a sensible compromise to me.

For now, you might be right. But parallels could be drawn to the first dot com boom, junior mining markets etc. So much of new innovation is funded by speculation and stories.

Even the current public market interest in the blockchain space, regulated as is is, is mostly driven by a good story and a hope for the future.

This is how things work, and given a longer time horizon, the market will sort it out.

Your definition of conservatism is at odds with reality. Rich people are actively trying to live their lives with minimum effort, so it is hard to argue that they are the most talented. Poor people have a hard time making their freedoms worth anything, and they're not been helped by any conservative. The main problem here is that conservative reasoning is circular: if you're rich you must in some way deserve it (explanations will be made for sure), and if you deserve you need to keep the wealth.
That is usch a big oversimplification it nearly makes the comment pointless.

Congrats on the project! It's hilarious, probably useful somewhere, and it made my day.

Something in the opposite direction would be interesting as well. As a student, I was selective with where I invested my energy, according to my level of interest in the topic. Like many students, I developed an obnoxious flair for elaboration where it was no longer necessarily required and, as I thought, I actually became quite good at making sentences twice their original word length and sentence length from what they were otherwise required by my instructors to be. I would have welcomed a more automated process for the task.
That's awesome. Next step: circuit bending.

I mean, that's ... not true in the US. The burden is on you to prove it in a way the government is happy with first. You can't say it and simply be prepared to prove it if called out on it; you certainly can't say it and know it's true and not have public proof.

If your position is "things widely acknowledged in the US as perfectly normal are actually unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech," that's fine, but please say that up front so we understand that you're taking an unexpected position.

One way or another the recruiter is going to find out. But in this situation it seems like very much not your problem. What I would do is accept the job but inform the company that while you're not going to go out of your way to inform the recruiter that you're accepting, you are also not willing to lie either. And if the recruiter asks you will be honest about your new employment. That should assuage your own conscious and leave the issue over finders fee where it belongs, with the company and the recruiter.
I just tried using Animojis with the TrueDepth camera covered. After a second the frame rate drops significantly (to roughly 10 fps) and the character's eyes glitch out. I'm convinced Animojis are doing something with the TrueDepth hardware. It still tracks head movement with just the camera, but its significantly slower and more error prone.

Many countries have done terrible things and then lost wars and empires. How many of them unambiguously and thoroughly confronted their past, memorialised it, sought to make amends with their victims, and then built an entire state centered on protecting those principles whose violation was their business a few decades ago.

No, don't.

If he desconstructs his favorite electronic toy and isn't able to get it working again, that's an opportunity for a lesson on how to take things apart without causing (more) damage, how cheaply and non-repairably many things are built (and the value of good design), how anything is repairable if you're cussed and resourceful enough (and when not to be), or any number of other lessons, limited only by your imagination.

Yes it is. It is common in Yorkshire and Derbyshire at the least - so roughly the north Midlands and up in England. Probably several other regions use it as well. The North of England is often referred to as t'North by pretty much everyone.

It is sometimes pronounced a bit like "tut" with the second t silent. The following word is often affected as well. Actually its bloody hard to try and describe. Your best bet is to find something on Youtube spoken with a Yorkshire accent. Good luck trying to understand it!
My son attends an excellent preschool. Almost every day this year, the room has been set out with activity tables that vary without repeat. Drawing, painting, fossils, construction toys, etc. I cannot imagine the repository they pull from to continuously provide such unique options.

At home, my children have more than enough toys, to the point that when presented with the full set, they loll about listlessly and overwhelmed by choice.

I've tried to follow the preschool's lead and select a few that are out at any one time. I think it helps, and also makes for a quicker clean up.

We have a lot of incidental toys that are essentially rubbish; they get pulled out and scattered around each play time without actually being played with.
They already have pledge(4) with C.
Sure. But if we're going to go that far down the path of pedantry, why not get to the even deeper problem with that statement, which is that, strictly speaking, your alternative hypothesis is never supported; you can only fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Always great to see numbers. The running cost is 10X a typical deployment. Does that include any time you would have spent patching traditional servers?

Can you talk about the cost of your development time (one of the premises of serverless is increased developer productivity)?

Again, thanks for the real world numbers--always nice to see them.
Agreed on all counts. Iron Dome appears to be a vastly better missile defense solution than the Patriot system, but that's basically because they deal with different problems.

Iron Dome is a realistic reaction to short-range, unguided rockets which can be intercepted with proximity explosives; it's entirely suitable for defending Tel Aviv against the West Bank.

At a nuclear level, the Safeguard system may have been a reasonable variant of Patriot defenses to stop ICBM attacks, I wouldn't really know.

But in the gap between the two, defenders have to shoot down guided, high-velocity conventional warheads near the target site using near-impact or impact interceptors. That's pretty much the worst possible position to be in, and as far as I can see no ABM system is actually effective at it.
Hey friends,

Eggshell is an easy way to store scripts you execute often in a neat library in your Mac's menu bar. I realize it's very niche - most devs have better solutions - but I wanted to dip my toes in Swift development and this was the tool I needed at the time. Would be very happy if anyone else found this useful!

Nonsense is perhaps a bit strong. What people mean when they say Bitcoin is "backed" by energy, is that there is a certain cost associated with producing one BTC. That cost is primary the electricity consumed and electricity has a spot price (barring distribution problems which might skew the price). Miners are not likely to sell under the price of production, at least for shorter time frames, which creates a supply elasticity.

It is not backed by energy in a literal sense of course, that would be obviously meaningless. But the price of energy, BTC and mining difficulty are connected. A change in one variable affects the others.
If it's priced in USD then the SEC can act. To my knowledge, clearing any type of security with dollars as a denomination requires SEC approval. Due to the status of the dollar as the global standard currency this gives the SEC considerable power.

If you trade GBP/USD and then USD/EUR then you have to abide by SEC regulations.

If you sell PLEX/USD then you have to abide.

So anyone offering PLEX/USD has to comply with the freeze.

And if they have any accounts in dollars that will be frozen.

Yeah, I think that is extremely likely to lead to subconscious bias. In the good case, you find something worth talking about with that person, and you have a productive conversation where you go deep onto a topic they should be familiar with and you figure out whether they're actually familiar or not, yes.

In the not-so-good case, you find that they were accused and then cleared of charges for something odious, or that they sued their former employer for entirely justifiable reasons, or that they're an ardent supporter of a political party or religious view you just can't stand, or that they just tweeted that they're pregnant, or whatever.

And even in the good case, you're asking this person something very different from what you're asking other candidates, which means you're likely to be influenced by something as irrelevant as other candidates not having a public record. (e.g., one candidate worked somewhere with an oppressive OSS policy, one didn't, you got to have a good conversation about a project the second candidate's GitHub but did not get as far talking about an internal project the first candidate did.) Which doesn't actually seem that good.

I am incredibly curious to see data, if anyone has it, about who interviews most effectively (in the sense of saying "yes" to candidates that do well, being the one "no" on candidates who left the company quickly, being the one "yes" to candidates whose LinkedIn implies they ended up being successful, etc.) I suspect - but have no data - that asking consistent questions to each candidate leads to higher accuracy. But perhaps you miss out on the rare, extraordinary candidates.

This is totally false. Not only can you negotiate with them, but you can also set up very reasonable repayment plans based on your ability to pay. I was surprised how easy it was to do this and how willing they are to work with you to actually resolve everything. It does take a couple of hours to get an agent on the phone, though.
Such a petty and childish thing to be upset by. If Mercurial is soo great, then surely nobody would switch to git. Mercurial's extensibility has served some people, but in large part people prefer to work with git today. If that's what constitutes a betrayal, I don't see how there was much of a relationship to betray.

Mercurial, Bazaar, Darcs, CVS, and even Subversion are all now barriers to entry for a project. Git has won the vast majority of mindshare and good will by being straightforward, ubiquitous, and well supported.

You're not a conservative. You're either a classical liberal or a libertarian. Conservative means preserving the status quo at all costs. The rich in America do not desire equal opportunity, if they did, they wouldn't support anything short of a 100% tax on inheritance (I know that's unreasonable) and an inability to start life in debt. It's not reasonable to think that the rich should give up all their money, nor is it reasonable to think that our current system is in any way fair. Capitalism is highly biased towards those with wealth staying in wealth. It's why even though there are a lot of very well paid coders, there aren't that many people who are making it from coding to the top 10% of the income pool. It's hard for even the best and brightest to break through.

Unless there was a contract signed between the company and recruiter, I don't see a moral issue with it. He was spamming them with resumes (that apparently he took from elsewhere, since you've never heard of him).

If I were the company I wouldn't want to do business with a spammy rent-seeking recruiter like that either.
