The only one I can think of is casting a part in a movie. You wouldn't cast Sean Connery to play the part of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, for example. But I believe there is already exceptions in the law for things like films.

And churches typically hire a younger person to be a youth minister, as the kids could relate to them better. Again, not sure about the legality of this though.
As a society we need to have a much more sober response to this sort of allegation. Immediate career-ending consequences based on a mere accusation are ultimately bad for both accuser and accused, because it raises the cost of making an accusation.
This is exactly the kind of comment that confirms my hypothesis of the anti-philosophical spectrum.
It's anecdata, but if I ask my teen daughter, Facebook is for older people, and the kids are all using things that I've never even heard of. So not sure how you can really prove discrimination. There is some demographic skewing if you advertise on Facebook vs. other channels, but not sure you can really call it an age issue. Not sure what to make of the social marketing guy in the article -- seems like if you are looking for a social marketing person, then Facebook would be a logical place to advertise...
What would happen in the physical world with, say, a classified ad in a newspaper? It's on the poster of the ad to follow the law, not the paper, is it not?

I concur. In my opinion, Windows 2000 was the best version of Windows. It had a very clean interface, and it was a very stable operating system. It also lacked the annoyances of later versions of Windows, such as activation, mandatory updates, and telemetry. It was everything I ever wanted from an operating system, and honestly, even though I'm a Mac user, I'd use an updated version of Windows 2000 if Microsoft ever decides to make one. I've been keeping an eye on the ReactOS project for this reason.
The merit is researching potentially existential threats against humanity. It's not testable science, but if it leads to the next manhatten project, we discover that another country has advanced tech, that we aren't alone, or get a null result I am OK with it.
The rhetoric reveals your biasedness: Where did I even mention attacks? Nowhere.

But, because you know that my statement is correct, that the majority of people in rural areas don't like having wolfpack-neighbors, you've seem to feel obliged to make ridicule of their fears.

Its clearly an overreaction. An impulse I just can guess what triggered it.

Is it maybe that I pointed out, that the romanticization of things ('yay!') is usually done by people who don't have to live with the outcomes of it? And precisely because they don't have to live with that are usually much more powerful and likely to get their romanticized ideals poured into legislation (e.g. wealth redistribution vs. not being dependent on entry level jobs, social housing projects vs. not living in them, promoting preditors vs. living in gentrified urban areas etc.)?

Is it maybe that at the core of the romaticizer's actions is the aim for Deutungshoheit (narrative control) via claiming "pureness", which is most hurt by showing its very basic inconsistencies?

Is it because applying a 80s-moustache statement glass wearing Hipster face to "Yay! Wolfes are back" lays bare the author's arrogance?
I'd argue the distinction is not as clear as you think. You use the words proven & true as if the word we use to describe gravity isn't "theory."

Considering Philosophy to be a superset, inclusive of mathematics but not exclusive to it, means portions of philosophy such as logic & applied ontology (aka statistics) fit within your axiomatic definition.
This motivated me to finally look up the etymology of palimpsest as I never remember how to spell it.

ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: via Latin from Greek palimpsēstos, from palin ‘again’ + psēstos ‘rubbed smooth.’

Same palin as palindrome. I wouldn't be surprised if the Latin pist (to pound) from where we get pestle is a cognate (maybe a step removed, given the difference between rub/scrape and pound) for psēstos, but I couldn't find evidence for that in the short time I looked.
The Saturn could send an M1 Abrams into space with 50 tons to spare for fuel and ammo.
One aspect such movies almost always get wrong is ease of protection: With only modest countermeasures (face coverings, washing hands, ventilating rooms etc), you can drastically cut down the rate of transmission. A scientist with advanced equipment and knowledge getting infected is extremely unlikely. In the real world it happens, but only to 0.x%, and only to hospital staff spending weeks with thousands of infected people, under often sub-optimal conditions.

It's completely possible to go years without catching a cold if you're willing to devote maybe 10% of your time and a little money to it, and avoid certain situation. We just don't bother because getting a cold isn't (usually) that terrible.
This kind of extreme "scientism," if you will, ignores the fact that 1) we can anticipate the likely effects of a policy using our powers of reason and a large body of evidence from the various forms of government in action all over the entire world 2) it is unethical to conduct experiments on human subjects whose likely result is harm.
If you find yourself impacted by these changes in your home lab (and chances are you will; taking ballooning out of Free is nothing but petty), keep in mind that you can follow the lead of the major hosting companies and jump ship to KVM via oVirt or some homebrew. KVM is better in a number of ways anyway, one of them being a lack of control by Citrix, not to mention when Linode switched they got ~30% more perf out of Linodes.

Xen has been dying for a while. EC2 is heading off it, and they've held out the longest. This change is evidence that Citrix would like to accelerate that trend by killing off the home lab users that stuck it out (read: me). Looks like I have a new Christmas project.

I would argue that, while Stripe is going with a scratch build, this could be motived by AWS's lack of a good managed Kube offering, which is changing in the next few months.

With a managed Kube offering, setting up Kube is much much easier than this jenkins setup you are suggesting. And, there's no overhead charge. Why would anyone go through the hassle of manually provisioning machines like you suggest when AWS/GCP will do it for you?

Its overkill in the same way using DynamoDB for something that only experiences a handful of writes every day is overkill; who cares? The scale is there if you need it, but it doesn't cost anything to not use it.
> because I figured people over a certain age probably wouldn't know the technologies I was looking for

This is precisely the kind of age discrimination the law is intended to prevent.
It so happens that the first Falcon Heavy will use recycled rockets for the 2 side cores.
This is a major issue - even if the current set of features in the free version are sufficient for a particular project, this action means that we can't rely on long-term goodwill of them staying that way, so any future-proof project should use something that's more free.
It was released; in fact, I actually have a Windows NT 4.0 CD that has a PowerPC version on the disk, alongside an x86 version.
Because the electron gun in a CRT moves primarily horizontally, drawing a thin vertical line was difficult. It would very often come out very blurry, especially on low-end equipment. So font makers often used double-width horizontal pixels to make up for this.

The Commodore 64 font is an excellent example of this kind of compromise.
Again, this is your own bias rooted in the fact that most SV/tech people in bay area think you have to launch a product as soon as possible and that's the only way tech has ever been developed. It's not the only way, and the agile model that works well for web stuff and consumer/B2B applications often isn't suitable for other kinds of technology development, where there is a custom hardware component.

While at a certain level I can't help but agree with you, I think some self-reflection is in order.

It is perfectly legal to discriminate against young people but not against older folks. Those laws were put into place by that generation you reference.

Not to mention that the likely reason to target younger employees is because they can be paid less for the same job. That is a manifestation of the ongoing depowering of labor and individual laborers that was again driven by...that generation.

Sometimes, a group reaps what they sow.
Paw can (fairly trivially) import well-constructed Postman collections.
I wonder if this one-way protection exists because otherwise it would be legally tenuous to post job ads seeking a minimum number of years of experience (e.g. 10+ years in professional Python development), which basically by definition discriminate against the very young.

Doing this lab was one of my more memorable experiences at CMU. It was tons of fun, but barely getting any sleep for 3 days because I put the assignment off was less fun.

I put in some horrible last minute hacks to optimize for the autograder and raise my grade, like doing a pseudo-bubble sort. Every time I coalesced two adjacent free blocks, I would compare the adjacent nodes in the linked list and swap them if they weren't sorted. That raised my allocation efficiency a tiny bit for certain test vectors- just high enough to bump my grade up a couple points. :)
Unfortunately, I agree that it certainly is a tendency to do that. But, again, I'd say that's just bad design. A good design with a mobile first strategy should not end with such an outcome. I'd also like to clarify that my tone was directed towards the people who mess it up, not the parent. If you start with a semi truck trailer full of stuff from your suburban mcmansion and try to cram it into a studio apartment, you're going to have a bad time. But you have to. What you don't have to do is say "We have all these widgets and need them on mobile so let's figure that out". Those aren't features. The feature is being able to get the information you need or do your task on any device. If you can't design an interface that accomplishes what you need in a small viewport, that doesn't mean cut it, it means maybe think a bit more. It's not a situation of fitting every god damn thing on the same screen and then giving up on anything that doesn't fit. When you have more screen real estate use it if you can effectively.

Again, your feature is what you can accomplish with whatever it is you're designing. If it's a database of information with tons of categories then it's an IA problem from the tightest box first and then using more space as it becomes available. If a user can't get to the same information on any device then the design ain't working. If its a piece of accounting software you'll have a bunch of crud operations happening and need to focus on designing great forms. I think most large companies basically decide to cram their mega menu into a side are menu, then expose the search bar and put their app in read only mode. Very much like slapping agile on your team to solve your efficiency problems, it won't work.
Things like this (terminal add-ons like graphical layers and image viewers and so on) are only going to end badly.

What's so special about the terminal is the immunity the user has to hostile character strings.

When I view a webpage in lynx or read an email in (al)pine, there is no string that could be injected to harm me - I am immune to viruses and javascript and weird CSS and so on. I can open up an infected document or view a phishing email.

In short, the well-behaved terminal does nothing but display text in your character set. It does not interpret and it does not execute and it certainly doesn't call GUI APIs to draw buttons and display videos.

This is a door best left unopened ...

Newspapers do review advertising both for illegal content and things that would negatively affect their brand.

If you created an ad with "over 40 need not apply" most newspapers would reject the ad.

However this case goes over and above. Facebook is actively adding a feature to screen users by age which increases their culpability.
Why not both? - https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin

You provide a scalable infrastructure underneath your jenkins install while not dealing with the issue of node/agent allocation. Plus, you get kubernetes if for your not-so-simple crons.
If you mainly advertised for employees in certain newspapers you'd get people of a given political leaning. If you advertised on the radio at 6 in the morning you probably wouldn't get anyone under 35.

It's not obvious to me why employers should be able to use the implicit filtering traditional media provides, but not the explicit filtering new advertising platforms provide.
IIRC they threatened to regulate and then manufacturers "voluntarily" agreed to use Micro-USB.
sure, but they don't need to show you any evidence. Only investors. In fact it's a competitive advantage to keep such evidence behind an NDA for as long as possible when you're creating fundamentally new tech?
For comparison, my Samsung phones have had CPU underclocking in the low power modes. I'm not sure if that's true of all Androids or not.
In your example, what do you think would happen if someone posted an ad selling drugs?
Putting employers and schools at the center seems like the wrong approach. If there is a victim and a perpetrator, why can't it be handled in court between them?

Asking the employer/school to handle it is a recipe for injustice. Their interest is to limit their liability and favor their most useful employees, in that order. Justice is a distant concern.

Someone quoted in the article does make the case that the federal age employment law does allow for other considerations to a "reasonable" degree when targeting age -- i.e. discrimination isn't as cut-and-dry as it would be for targeting race or gender:

> But some companies contend that there are permissible reasons to filter audiences by age, as with an ad for entry-level analyst positions at Goldman Sachs that was distributed to people 18 to 64. A Goldman Sachs spokesman, Andrew Williams, said showing it to people above that age range would have wasted money: roughly 25 percent of those who typically click on the firm’s untargeted ads are 65 or older, but people that age almost never apply for the analyst job...

> Pauline Kim, a professor of employment law at Washington University in St. Louis, said the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, unlike the federal anti-discrimination statute that covers race and gender, allows an employer to take into account “reasonable factors” that may be highly correlated with the protected characteristic, such as cost, as long as they don’t rely on the characteristic explicitly.

If the newspaper was somehow able to be physically manifested by or perceived only by white people, or people under 30, or in some way that excluded people of a protected class from ever seeing it if they knew about it and wanted to, then the newspaper should definitely be liable, as should the advertiser.

The material difference between newspapers and facebook is that anyone is allowed to buy a newspaper, but someone of a protected class cannot view ads on facebook that are not targeted to them even if they want to, thus they are excluded.
Perhaps it's different because it's actionable. For instance, there could be a class action suit on behalf of anybody over 40 who didn't receive the ad. Also, I'm not a lawyer, but as I seem to recall, the "corporate veil" doesn't apply to certain kinds of liability, and I think discrimination is an example.
This, exactly, you described it better than I could.
> It's anecdata, but if I ask my teen daughter, Facebook is for older people, and the kids are all using things that I've never even heard of. So not sure how you can really prove discrimination

Aren't they looking for young professionals (twenty-somethings)? Whatever teenagers are using right now will only become relevant to this debate in a few years, when they'll be the ones targeted by those companies*

Comcast just announced pretty much the same thing.

Comcast Celebrates Tax Reform, Net Neutrality Votes With $1K Employee Bonuses, Plans $50B In Capex By 2023 | http://deadline.com/?p=1202230881

Citing “the passage of tax reform and the FCC’s action on broadband” (aka the Dec. 14 vote to repeal net neutrality), Comcast chief Brian Roberts announced $1,000 bonuses would go to more than 1,000 front-line and non-executive employees. Roberts also announced that the Company expects to spend “well in excess” of $50B over the next five years investing in infrastructure to radically improve and extend broadband plant and capacity, and its television, film and theme park offerings.
I don't understand your point, much less why you're using the "first four words" thing back at me on my own comment.

The differences may be miniscule. They are syntactic. "Might be cool to" have this other syntax. You're just belaboring the obvious.
Probably because the filtering is too powerful and accurate? Anyone can get up at 6am to listen to the radio. If you don't show certain people job ads they may never see or know about the listing.
I'll just quote myself, since you seemed to ignore these counter points to your post the first time around, and failed to answer them

> are only those wealthy enough to travel and live near one be able to experience it? [...] where is the code (scanners are a thing; what about the bootstrap code running on the servers)?

A project can't claim to be "beyond" open source by having printed (unless they are using a printing press, that code was digital at some point) pieces of paper, especially while only being available to a couple of - by absolute standards - wealthy people.
As a foreigner, for me it is not a good news from the only country that dropped nuclear bombs over innocent civilians.
I think it depends on your personality. You can be more of a visionary (i.e. a Zuckerberg) and make a lot of money. Or you can be a numbers person (i.e. a Warren Buffet) and be good at investing. Or a speculator (i.e. George Soros). Or a good operator but not a visionary. Etc

A lot of it comes down to personality and personal preference of what you like. The path and approach to wealth building can be and is different for everyone.
Yep. I was hoping that sentence would end with "because I figured people over a certain age probably wouldn't be interested in entry-level positions," and I was prepared to think that was an interesting point.

A counterpoint where willful negligence and manipulation of investors exists is not a good counterpoint to an example of bold investments in technology.

Negligence like that is far far rarer than the technology not being feasible, at least in terms of startups failing.

Anyone could lie about their likes/interests or even age on Facebook. What's your point?
Could it do a single monitor at a decent resolution? That would be handy enough for me when I'm standing on the train and can't open a laptop, or just to avoid carrying a laptop around everywhere. If I could open a decently sized terminal at any time I'd be happy.
Because the pathological case was IIRC exponential in length range.chain.opertion.length and idiomatically D's `n` in those chain length is very large, sometimes large enough to crash `nm`. The compiler based on LLVM does support hashing the trailing portion of the symbol.

> I personally found the tube pretty terrible around heathrow and friends who studied abroad in various parts of europe complained about trains being late (Eurorail pass).

Really, both of our arguments on this point are anecdotal, but there is a pretty solid body of evidence that European mass transit systems are far more efficient at moving large numbers of people efficiently between important destinations.

> In my experience it seems Europeans are, on average, more willing than Americans to sacrifice personal comforts for efficiency. I saw this in everything from elevator size to hotel room configuration, and even road layout.

This isn't because of something essential about Europeans. It's a consequence of their urban infrastructure developing under space constraints, and doing so prior to the mass adoption of the automobile. Today, many American cities are approaching the levels of density of European cities without transit systems built out over time to handle the congestion that the density brings, largely because of the single-occupancy commute vehicle.
