Chief Diversity Officers (CDO) might make corporations superficially diverse, in a purely demographic sense.

But I'd argue that it's not so easy to make a company truly diverse--in the sense that people are friendly (or at least congenial on a professional level), equally respectful of each other, and able to hold and tolerate varying/conflicting perspectives without respectfully, without animosity.

That makes for a truly enjoyable place to work, if you can find a company with such a culture. But it's much more rare than one might hope. It's just not human nature to treat each other that well, in general, by default.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, it takes truly gifted/talented/experienced leaders, and they must cultivate a culture like that from the top down. It just isn't likely to evolve organically, without guidance.

Sad, but true, I think.

Anyway, companies that do succeed in that regard tend to be extraordinarily successful.

I once had a really incredibly great boss. He went to Georgetown, was very sharp and was an exceedingly shrewd business tactician, so that certainly helped. But this company succeeded in a way that seemed so effortless, in comparison with other less pleasant places I've worked.

It was a team effort; we had several developers who were very good at their jobs, so I certainly wouldn't attribute our success to anyone person. But I do really believe the way this guy treated us and motivated us the critical factor.

All this means is that we will inevitably reach a point where separate titles are used, and 'data scientist' will means about as much as 'engineer'.

We will distinguish 'machine learning specialist data scientist' from 'database specialist data scientist' just like we distinguish 'electrical engineer' from 'lab systems engineer', for example.

Then, we might have a term for generalists like 'data science technician'. And by then, the people who 'aren't really good at any aspect of it' and can't really function as generalists will be naturally sorted out because they can't really fit into any of those titles

I'm exactly the same.

I just can't get myself worked up over most stuff, annoyingly though people around me end up getting annoyed at me becasue I'm not getting upset or annoyed. This can be very frustrating.

The way I see it is if something is happening and it's outside my control, why let it bother me. 1 of 2 things can happen.

1) I get upset and angry and my life, temporarily, gets worse.
2) I don't get upset or angry and my life doesn't change.

In both those cases I can't affect the root cause incident so the only thing that changes is my own happiness.

Why on earth would I then voluntarily reduce my own happiness / state of mind.

If someone flips me off, cuts me up in traffic, sends me an abusive message online etc Why should I care?

So when I have people around me getting annoyed because I'm not getting upset or annoyed by it, I feel like they just want to make sure I'm getting miserable with them. Which is a shitty thing to do to someone.

You should talk with your local US embassy or consulate. They can provide whatever help to clear up the process for your partner. If they are doing their job, they can greatly simplify everything.

It was the same for me, growing up in rural Australia in the mid-70s and 80s. However, my parents were working class raised in Sydney.

I think they should only retaliate on US officials (elected and who work for DHS). Ask them to reveal passwords to national secrets when they enter the country, then detain them for hours when they refuse.

The general population should be welcomed with open arms - retaliation on them achieves nothing. It's not their fault.
I think it should be the other way around - some hours of cycling on busy roads should be required to get you your driving license.

Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe: http://airindex.eea.europa.eu

I am from southern Poland, where in winter time some regions experience visibility range of less than 200m due to smog.

This is due to many factors, including people burning trash to heat their homes, industrial pollution, building over natural green corridors, as well as simply local geography (lots of valleys and basins)
I'm always surprised when I see another Western European religious movement that is so similar to Zen. Why do we look so far for solutions if we have some in our own history?

But one thing I feel is lacking in most western movements: The handling of emptiness. If you really think about consequences of actions and how small one is compared to the whole, one cannot avoid realizing how meaningless and heartless the world is. Facing this void and not running away is one of the hardest challenges a human can cope with. We have a very deep desire to see some meaning in life, even if there isn't.

Zen at least admits this and offers ways to interact with this void and one's own growing understanding of it. I think these monks don't because they simply assume the meaning is to show how good you are so you can receive redemption after death.

So I think that would've been a great point three of the article instead of handling boredom, which in some way is also about handling the meaningless, but on a less deep understanding of it. If you are bored you still believe other people are doing meaningful things.
What kind of precautions did they recommend?
It seems there's no such thing as objective journalism. Was there ever, is this new, or just worse? Philosopher-based journalism might be an improvement, but sometimes even philosophers seem to be committed to a point of view.
> These kinds of people have no choice but to be "difficult"

Then they don't get in. Things like company secrets or client-lawyer confidentiality just doesn't apply here. You have a choice to give all that up and enter, or just return.

The solution as others pointed out is not to travel with the data, but that's just cumbersome. You can always just use whatever cloud service you want, and delete the local copies, downloading the encrypted info again when you have entered the country.
Businesses in Ontario and Seattle were handed a perfect opportunity to raise their prices. Normally a price increase would cause a loss of business to competitors, but a price raise blamed on the minimum wage hike would have been tolerated much better.

- competitors should be raising their prices too, so there shouldn't be competitors to desert to
- opponents of the wage hike will blame the government instead of the business for the wage hike
- supporters of the wage hike should be happy to support the higher wages

Yet businesses in Ontario have responded by cutting employee benefits and increasing tip splitting, resulting in significant negative publicity and boycotts.
It's not the open source stack that has that track record though

> If humans aren't exceptional, do we acknowledge some sort of responsibility to provide for ants?

Acknowledging human responsibility for non-human parts of reality is surely a legitimate moral position, whether or not it is one that you hold?

My understanding is that some (or even many) societies have maintained more holistic moral positions, that don't elevate humans beyond other parts of the world, so it seems like a viewpoint people may even be predisposed to, given the right conditions.

Have you considered using wget to e-mail yourself the webpages you want to view?

https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

>I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
In this one. If you really don't care about feedback and (polite and constructive) commentaries are unsolicited - you deserve hateful feedback.

Last time I checked the US had elections, so yes, it pretty much is their fault.
From an Australian heritage, I would say that dinner and tea were, more or less, used interchangeably. Some families used one, some the other, but pretty much everyone understood both. Over time I get the feeling that dinner was the winner in that choice war, but that might just be an east coast/west coast thing.

That Wikipedia section needs a rewrite. It does mention that that usage is a class marker but then conflates it with the pastry-and-tea afternoon snack practice of upper classes. They are two radically disjoint uses.

The origin of the “tea” being the term for evening meal are pretty well attested to lie the poverty of the English lower classes who could not afford much more than a cup of tea in the evening.

I grew up using the word “tea” to refer to the evening meal in Australia (actually my parents were at pains to avoid this usage, but the rest of my dad’s family still does). My father, the only one in his family to attend university, clearly saw it as a dangerous class marker.

Interestingly my mother grew up using a chai language (Marathi) in the home but te languages (Cantonese and Fujianese) in the street. These usages of course were all for the drink.

(And btw your comment was funny to me because on of the all time greatest linguists of English was a Dane, Otto Jesperson).
Any Vietnamese know why Vietnam has "tea" in the middle and "cha" in north or south on the map?
I spend 2 months in the north then lived for a few month in Saigon. I never came across people using anything other than "trà" (cha).
Are you sure? I thought the English brought tea to India after stealing it from China in the 19th Century.[1]

Was there another source in India which the Portuguese had earlier access to? My initial cursory investigation via Wikipedia seems to indicate China as the initial source.[2] I'd be really interested, from an historical point of view, if this wasn't the case.

You have your definition for Enterprise Value flipped - it should be (Equity Value + Total Debt - Cash & Equivalents + Non Controlling Interest). If you are subtracting debt and adding cash, you are typically looking to get equity value from EV.

Your Box multiples look to be correct - looks like they trade at 6.1x on a trailing twelve month revenue basis, and ~5.0x on a next twelve months revenue basis.

Given that Dropbox has a $10BN valuation and a $600MM line of credit from the big banks, I would expect that their trailing revenue multiple is ~10.0x.

Not sure what happened here, but on gentoo I still have sound in firefox 57 without having installed either pulseaudio or the apulse shim. Probably some patching by the gentoo devs, but I was ready to install at least the shim, and maybe even pulse itself to get sound, but so far it has not been necessary.

On all sides, sure, but saying that "violent reaction to opposing views" isn't necessarily the result of holding "extreme opinions" seems a bit oxymoronic. Or what exactly do you mean by "violent reaction"?

So as before you would say 'dumb' things to your inner social circle of friends, with an occasional stranger overhearing. Today you can say those same things online, but instead of it just being your friends it's effectively on the public record and everyone can see and comment on what you said.

This reminds me of a story that Clay Shirky told about how one of his students/coworkers wanted to announce the breakup of her engagement. She carefully configured her settings on the FB, then changed her relationship status. But even so everyone knew in real time and she was deluged with questions and messages.

The reason both of these situations are so jarring is because everyone instantly sees this information, where as previously it took a lot longer to filter through the social graph.
It's not actually much about Social Media and the internet in general but the fact that some person/entity dictates the course of discussion, and you obviously can blame the people who follow them but at the end of the day most people like to conform themselves and associate with a group because that's how we evolved, in groups.(or better said tribes)

I surely wasn't around when the TV appeared, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't so much about the technology or the time spent on it, but more about the fact that the number between the people who come up with the content and the topics discussed and the people receiving the information is highly disproportionate.

The fact that you have NYT say, what in essence is alt-media,that is "making people dumber" it's kind of hypocritical.The article it's just a rage about the simple fact that an academic figure is more edgy than the vast majority.
I would rather stop decaying the quality in the selection of topics through politics.

If you mean "kobieta", from what I understand, it used to be offensive until about the 19th century, but the etymology of it is unclear and contested. I have no idea by what process it ceased to be offensive.
2FA is overused term in these days. I thought like Cierge+U2F with some physical device like Yubikey or Google Authenticator.

Edit: If my email was breached (and I would know it) I would probably reset password and logon to change all services to populate them with brand new credentials. Then I will try to minimize the threat (i.e. by making impossible to use my accounts - bail out emails, resting credentials or even removing accounts and e-mail) and then find out the best solution for specified scenario and recover after breach with implemented better security.

> Zen at least admits this and offers ways to interact with this void and one's own growing understanding of it. I think these monks don't because they simply assume the meaning is to show how good you are so you can receive redemption after death.

In the Christian tradition, it isn't how good you are that gives you redemption after death, it's a free gift from God that you can never be good enough to deserve.

This is probably also why the Christian mystical tradition doesn't engage that much with the void and lack of meaning (although see Ecclesiastes), since a Christian believes that fundamentally there is a huge amount of meaning to life that comes from relationship with God.

I never want my social media connected to other sites, and I never use the same email address for different sites.

How would this ever work for me?
Yeah, my first thought was "Oh, so Gmail will be much slower then?"

Intel seems to be trying as hard as possible to define narrow scenarios in which the performance drop isn't too big and only mentioning those. In its first benchmarks, for instance, it only tested a six-core 8700K, one of its highest-end consumer products, because obviously the percentage drop would be lower on high-performance machines than on slower ones.
We are doing this as well and I agree that there are a number of nice things about it. I find that the closer to HTML my code is, the more I prefer JSX whereas if I am using mostly components, it starts to feel silly.

In addition to your points, a nice thing about pure JS is that you can optionally add an element with a simple ? operator without having to "break" things with curly brackets. createElement excepts null/undefined as something it will just skip.
