This is honestly worrisome. They could wire out your monies and leave your account with zero balance. I hope major tech publications pick this up.
Honest question: How many plastic straws do you have to save to offset the CO2 cost of building a steel straw? Also, are paper straws really better, CO2-wise?

> Put companies out of business that produce or import said goods

Good! Good. If you are actively contributing to polluting the earth and making it uninhabitable for future generations, then losing your business is probably the least horrible thing that can happen to you.
Puppeteer seems needlessly difficult to use on a VPS. I'd prefer an easily dockerized version but there seems to be nothing robust and they make it VERY hard to connect to a docker instance just running Chrome for the websocket/9222 interface sadly.
Well apparently a 5p charge resulted in a 14x decrease in usage of plastic bags, so despite your anecdote, it does make a difference.

I guess it's the difference between what they're calling "authoritarian states", the mustache-twirling dictators of the 20th century targeting their political opponents (a fetish in papers like this), and the _new_ form of corporate-driven mass surveillance and resulting fascism that is emerging.

There is no need for an evil central power targeting threats to itself, but instead we have seen/are seeing the rise pervasive blanket surveillance and classification of _all_ people in a society, even non-political actors, from many different for-profit companies. The is combined with a new type of society that is entirely dependent on corporate services for almost all functions in life (food, travel, healthcare, communications, travel, work, housing, etc). It's a recipe for disaster.

This kind of state is a _new thing_^tm and we have to be aware of it. We're the ones who are going to be oppressed by it, not just the people living under the Saddam Husseins of the world.

It's not an idea. You are already 5 years too late.

You don't need to scour online personas. Companies such as Acxiom and FullContact are just two of many which house identities of 10s of millions of individuals.

Then all that's needed to do is plug into twitters firehose and facebooks stream and voila. Real-time data based on what they are thinking/doing online.

Oh and connect to an RTB stream and get real-time where they are clicking. With enough data, you could forecast where they are going next.

Finally, have AI compose the content in the sales funnel to secure that conversion.

I can guarantee you, this is actively being worked on as I type.

Within 5 years, the entire marketing aspect will be mostly automated.
> This doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men, especially not by specific men.

In any instance where women fall short of or fail to perform as well as men external factors even amorphous ones can always be blamed. Since powerful men have been in charge of crating social conditions under which womens' identities have developed. Identity which in this case "tends to have far more doubts about their abilities and accomplishments", like you pointed out.

"doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men" is only possible if either of these was true

1.Current society wasn't created/shaped by men in powerful positions.

2. Women are biologically predisposed to have 'far more doubts'

I don't think either of those positions is correct. Whats your logic behind stating "doesn't imply any wrongdoing by men".

In order to be effective, yes, they do.

If developers are left to work on whatever they want, they end up creating projects that either have no value to their parent company or have value but don't get sold to anybody. Developers need managers to redirect their efforts in the most profitable direction. The main issue is that bad managers have a strong negative impact and most managers on software projects are bad.

If you truly believe that managers provide no value, then wouldn't a manager replacement tool also provide no value?
It seems that everyone here think of white space as actual white colored wide spacing.

> There is no time to think about a redesign, and changing a layout may just confuse an employee who got used to the previous one.

I very much disagree and have experience with such tasks.

One of my main task right now is to manage an in-house ERP. Before I started to work here, there were no front-end developer, no UX expert and no designer.

Every screen was a pizza. The previous developers simply piled on changes and everything quickly became a mess.

Last year, we changed half of the screens (early 2000 style) to modern user interfaces. Out of the ~150 employees working with the software, only one was resistant to change. It was one of the newest hires and had just been trained with the previous version of the screens.

Two months in, she admited that the newest version was way easier to use and that she would have had an easier time training on it. Everyone else simply adjusted easily from the cramped design of the previous version.

Smart use of white space isn't about making everything like one of Apple's websites. It's about managing your negative space in such a way as to guide the eyes of the end user.
Could you please elaborate on the degraded experience?
> -Better group support.

To go along with that-- Support for exporting group messages. I recently moved to a new phone. With the latest versions of signal on android, I had to export a plain text backup of my messages. The problem? All the group messages were removed from their groups and threaded into the individual conversations with the person who sent it. So not only did it ruin the group message, but it also ruined the individual conversations, too.

I ended up downgrading to an older version of signal, creating an android backup of the data and then copying that to my new phone.

I'm really not a fan of this architecture. I think it would be pretty depressing not to have a clear view over the horizon in some direction.
Amazing work. I am sure it will help some people in need for leads or ideas.
This is the weird elitist argument again. I've done my share of native UI development, and it's total pain compared to HTML/CSS/JS. The tools are crap, the compile cycles too long, the languages to restrictive, the APIs too ad-hoc, the layout engines too crappy, the technology support (eg. multimedia) lagging too many years etc etc.

The native libraries had decades to fix this mess, yet they're still by and large the same as decades ago. Will not miss them.
Oh please. This is not a fucking courtroom and it's not a structured debate.

People saying "what about X" is useful for adding perspective.

Furthermore, adding "ism" to normal conversational mechanics just because you think it's "a bad thing" is pretty cringe.
This is off topic. But what do you use to generate the api documentation? It's very clean, love it.

Yes the science has a long way to go, but you're ridiculously generalizing. Some people stay on antidepressants long term, but most don't. Many psychotropics are used only short term. I think your test/cure paradigm is a bit of a "red herring"... maybe it would be nice if it were the case, but symptom (and impact) based diagnosis plus subjective improvement to symptoms, functioning and quality of life still counts to people actually suffering, as well as their families.
Or people have laptops and because they don't waste it on bloated crap like Windows and instead use linux a single 256NVMe SSD is enough. I use 50GB right now for the Linux installation with everything I could possibly need for work and another 50GB for two empty Windows VMs with nothing in them except a browser.
npm is one of the few tools that I am afraid to have on my Laptop, Because unlike most tools I have used, When npm does something wrong, It'll ruin not just itself but a lot more directories on my pc which is annoying to fix.
Part of this difference is also the fluctuation in exchange rates.

Around 2014, 1 CAD was worth about 1 USD, but since then, the loonie has plummeted in value relative to the greenback.

That doesn't account for the entire difference, but it does account for some of it.
Guitar Overdrive Pedal Shootout: BOSS Blues Driver BD-2 Review
Some actual expert was on TV talking about space, a European space probe I think, wearing his Hawaiian shirt with ludicrous SciFi babes on it, and a certain type of person kicked off declaring that somehow SciFi babe Hawaiian shirt is misogyny incarnate or something.

The main outcome for me was that now two different friends own sofa cushions with the identical fabric pattern, they're a bit... garish? Both these friends are women, one of them is a bona fide scientist with a PhD and everything, so evidently the "No to SciFi babes on Hawaiian shirts" misogyny claims were less "mainstream feminism" and more "I'm just looking for reasons to be angry", but whatever, that's culture for you.

The point is not putting them in a system that can leak them right alongside the login identifier.

If someone wants to go exercise 9384828388 GPUs on your list. Fantastic, at least the other piece of their auth username/etc isn’t sitting right next to it.

Putting them in a separate system can be a simple REST server that sits in front of another database, LDAP or even something like Vault.

Don’t set them right alongside your ecommerce app you’ve got 30 juniors hacking on trying to get something out ASAP.
That's broadly where I'd go with plastic bottles - £1 deposit, rising to £5 and compel supermarkets and manufacturers to take the returns. I'm old enough to remember the 20p(?) deposit on glass bottles of fizzy pop. Also when supermarkets were selling milk in glass bottles - and provided crates in the same section for customers to return the empties.

This used to be a solved problem.

The reason the causality sounds backwards is the GP is talking about secondary effects of what you are talking about — the other half of a vicious cycle.

We are already a decade into neglecting native app technologies in favor of web app technologies, because web apps were much easier to write and deliver than cross-platform native apps (and largely still are). It’s to the point where even big companies with lots of resources are hiring web programmers and web designers to build their UIs.

It’s interesting to me that mobile changes the trade-offs. The quality gulf between web and native apps is greater. The web sucks more on mobile, and expectations for native apps (animations, touch, etc) are higher. Mobile OSes also make it much easier for users to install and manage native apps than it is on desktop (because of the app store, no custom installers, no users locked out of installing apps by their employers as far as I know). I’m excited about React Native for addressing the cross-platform part.

We’ve learned since Java that even if you don’t have “write once, run anywhere,” you can still have “learn once, write anywhere,” a la React. Also, we expect apps to come with their own systems of UI widgets these days, not necessarily “native look and feel.” It really changes the game.

> It's not an idea. You are already 5 years too late.

Story of my life ;)
Maybe it's an anecdote, but I've noticed that over the past year or two, most bars and clubs have stopped giving me a straw by default and instead I'd either had to grab one from the jar or ask for one.

This is good, I don't need or want a straw in my drink. Even with the introduction of bamboo straws they should keep this policy. Obviously there are reasons to want a straw, such as wearing lipstick or having sensitive teeth, but for lots of us it's unnecessary.

The distinction is pretty much the same as the distinction between "tech" and "other" companies in other fields

Technology is more fundamental to how a company aims to be better than the competition (or at least how it markets itself as better than the competition). Which in practice often means having software doing exactly the same thing as software in other companies, but less bricks and mortar, customer service and established reputation.

Everything Morgan Stanley or HSBC does depends on computers and their bottom line is hugely affected by the quality of things like their trading algorithms, but "better software" is less intrinsic to why people would consider using them than, say a "Fintech" oriented challenger bank, or a HFT fund, or a stock recommendation report marketing itself as being purely "Big Data" driven.

Back in December; my stress levels were pretty high. I'm a can-do kind of employee; I really enjoy the adrenaline of sorting out an interesting unexpected problem on a short timescale.

But I was faced with multiple deadlines and some unexpected work came up and I was called up for jury service ( a not very nice case). I took my laptop home and tried to finish the projects after a day in court.

One day, at lunch in the court, I was thinking about a project and found myself silently weeping. So I got straight on the phone to my boss and explained that I;d just found myself crying, thought that this was probably a bad sign and thought I should stop on that project.

I'm lucky in that I have an employer that values me, trusts me and takes their duty of care seriously. It probably helps that I'm a man in my 50s. They told me to knock off the project completely and commanded me to stop thinking about it until after Christmas.

So, IF

* You have a good employer.
* You have the courage to admit weakness

The most effective thing to do is to tell your boss asap and ask for reasonable accommodation until you feel better.

I'm back to doing stupid amounts of work, but my boss trusts that if it feels like it is causing me problems I will tell them, and I trust that they will deal with me reasonably.

A lot of the hangover effect comes from acetaldehyde, a somewhat toxic product of the metabolism of alcohol.

A big part of the hangover is waiting for your body to get rid of acetaldehyde. Drinking more reduces your awareness of the effects of acetaldehyde, but increases the total amount of it in your body, prolonging the hangover.
A lot of people do it that way. Anyway I rinse the dishes but I'm not sure I'm using less water that way.

What I meant is that we should be skeptical about the claims made in an article that appears to be about education, posted in 'The Chronicle of Higher Education', but which in reality has a different underlying message. It feels to me as if letting gender issues seep into articles on different subjects and claiming things like 'men have it easier than women' hints at sexism. Just as letting prejudices about gender or race determine who you hire, for example.

By pointing this out I want to highlight the possibility that the author at the very least is prejudiced with regards to gender when it comes to interpreting how others go through life. Which leads me to the conclusion that the author's opinion on why people get burn outs should be taken with a grain of salt.
