"Taurus agreed to repair or buy back, for as much as $200, any of those models owned by people in the U.S. and its territories—an estimated 955,796 guns, according to the settlement. ..."

"In 2013, Taurus stopped selling the nine gun models alleged to be defective in the U.S.: the PT-111 Millennium, PT-132 Millennium, PT-138 Millennium, PT-140 Millennium, PT-145 Millennium, PT-745 Millennium, PT-24/7, PT-609, and PT-640."

For something that "can't be recalled", these are far more effective results than any recall. Some people are still waiting for their recalled Takata airbags to be replaced, for example.

Nobody said that unions form only when the employer is a monopoly...I'm not sure what "point" you're trying to make here.
For the first part, that mean we can make up a better thing. Also, many people have trouble seeing that's a decision we make, and thus many types of extremism/fundamentalism come around. For the second part, I don't have an alternative, and I believe I don't have to have one before discussing the flaws of what we have at hand.
The guys who work at Lockheed Martin programming vehicular data sensors, or who work for medical device manufacturers on MRI machine interfaces - they aren't directly involved in human lives and livelihoods? What about the massive security failures at Equifax? That's not putting people at risk?
Even better, if you can come up with 5 flippable distinctive items you can simply set each as a bit and shake and flip them at once.

Don't confuse gun control with banning guns. If we look at Australia for example, a country often cited in regards to gun control (and I live there), guns are not banned. You can buy a gun, I have family with guns, there are gun shops. But there are restrictions on the type of gun you can buy, 12 gauge shotgun for duck shooting is ok, AR-15 for people shooting is a no go.

But the big difference is the culture, most people in Australia simply don't want to own a gun, it doesn't define who they are. They don't feel threatened or unsafe by not having one.
I fixed it, as it actually does apply to all unions. Not just modern day ones.
>but my understanding is that people who know what to listen for can tell the difference on a suitably powerful/nuanced sound system.

Or at least they claim they can. I've yet to know anyone with any expensive systems who claims to be an audiophile who can actually pass an ABX test with any more accuracy than random guessing would have given them. Largely because they'd need superhuman hearing - able to hear things that are literally outside the frequency of normal human hearing. Not saying these people can't exist... just that it's extremely unlikely.

It might be good for the company. But the point is you need dollars and cents metrics that prove it is, not just righteous feelings that less bugs is better. Engineers at ground level are often well insulated from the actual business impact of the work they do. Because they aren't given any insight into the business side they instead optimize for measurable metrics like bug count and data accuracy.

Older systems tend to have a lot of business logic built into them. Use the time you spend going through them to learn the business domain. Learning to understand why you write code is just as valuable as know how to write it.

Nah, that sounds pretty simple - you just need to know how to walk a binary tree (basic knowledge) and how to write a string to a file (even more basic knowledge) - provided binary tree stores strings (and with right serializer, everything stores strings). Unless I am missing something. Don't think this qualifies as a puzzle. Puzzle would be something that requires non-trivial knowledge or exceptional insight to solve.

Bandcamp is good if you know what you want and they do pay out really, really well.

If you want a streaming service more like Spotify you might also check out Resonate Cooperative https://resonate.is/ which has a stream-to-own model.

Discovering new music is low cost, repeated listens double until the ninth, upon which you own the track outright. You can then download or stream that track for free.

Still ramping up but I'm excited about their prospects.
Not a Christian, but I spend a lot of time at church (long story). Anyway, self-sacrifice is one of the central tenets of Christianity, the idea being that Jesus Christ took on human form to suffer and die on the cross to save humanity from its grievous sins. As a result, self-sacrifice and martyrdom come up all the time in the Bible [1].

I'm not particularly good at actual theology, and I'm sure different sects of Christianity have different interpretations, but as I understand it, because of Christ's sacrifice, personal suffering is seen as something noble, or even venerable. I think it's easy to take this too far (e.g. people not accepting help because it's "noble" to suffer, or that they "deserve it"), but I digress.

More correct headline should be "China using big data to detain people who did not commit any crime". At that point you're realizing this has already routinely been done by many countries, including China, without using any big data at all. In fact, detaining people who didn't commit any crime has been done before people knew what "data" is.

I'm baffled at the amount of debate in this thread. Make is good for tasks that can be expressed as a directed acyclic graph of steps, where the steps' inputs and outputs are files, and steps can be expressed in a few lines of shell script. It works pretty well for such tasks in my opinion. Yes, it will look contorted for tasks that don't fit this model.
I've had some good luck with third-party recruiters. There are some truly excellent recruiters, often running their own boutique firms, but the quality definitely varies and frankly a good number of firms do feel like a used car shop. For me, the purpose of 3rd-party recruiters is to inform me of new opportunities within my salary range and to get me an interview (if you're into contract work, they can often help with that). When I use 3rd-party recruiters, I have a few guidelines in place that I use to ensure I have a successful experience. 1) If a recruiter asks that you take time off work and come in to their office then they better deliver multiple interviews or else the firm gets blacklisted (Goodbye Talener and Robert Half NYC), 2) If a firm is sending you completely unrelated jobs outside your region they get blacklisted (bye CyberCoders), 3) If a recruiting company ghosts you they get blacklisted (Goodbye appcoresolutions). Firms that are blacklisted, I won't work with EVER. 4) Recruiters are there to get you the interview with companies that fit your requirements. I'm ok with the used car salesmen schtick as long as you get me interviews with companies.

Some things that I take to be a good sign that I should work with a recruiter: they want to discuss what you want AND then actually use those notes. One of my first jobs came about because a recruiter called me, talked about what I wanted and then called me back 3 months later when he had an open req that fit my profile. Those I value.

In terms of money, if you just save enough and have low costs, it means potential financial independence.

Embedded developer here, ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers. I've been keeping an eye on Rust for the embedded space and although there has been a lot of movement in that area--particularly in the last couple of months--I'm not sure the value proposition fits the microcontroller market, where of course C is king.

While Rust has much to offer as a programming paradigm in general, the main value is in the borrow-checker (the linked transcript cites 'memory bugs' as the most common class of bugs). Embedded software practitioners long ago abandoned dynamic memory allocation and with it the 'use-after-free' and 'out-of-bounds access' bugs, instead re-defining the problem as one of latency (e.g. you'll need to process that static buffer before it gets re-used by your UART interrupt). Take away the borrow-checker, and Rust looks less compelling.

In time, Rust will find its niche in the embedded space, most likely occupying the high-level RPi/BBB/iMX SoC layer and perhaps working its way down to microcontrollers. As wiremine points out, it will require vendor support--moving away from your vendor's toolchain is a world of hurt that seasoned embedded developers just won't even consider. Pragmatism reigns: time-to-market and a cheap BoM are the main metrics, programming language a distant 10th.
> The OP complains about not having enough metrics in his assignments but do committees promote people based on stone-cold, anonymous metrics?

The answer, from what I gather, is yes. The hiring / promotion committees are essentially an anonymous collection of fellow engineers, perhaps a step higher than you, but somewhat random in composition. As such, there is no reliable way to grease hands or build meaningful relationships with the wide range of people who might be on your committee.

The larger problem OP faces is simple: his senior engineer projects are not being protected by his manager. And possibly sabotaged indirectly by executives above. In that sense, he does need an executive sponsor, simply to protect the project assignments he needs to build his stone cold anonymous metrics case.

> Having Rust support embedded is only half the story: we need to lobby/advocate for chip makers to support Rust.

So one thing I noticed from the micropython world is that chip makers are not going to support micropython. But there are third party companies that are supporting python on specific microcontrollers.

One problem the chip makers have right now is language frag. Rust is competing against go, python, kotlin/native, swift, javascript, and others. Rolling a tool chain is not free, because it needs to be updated over time for optimizations and code fixes.

The number of companies for whom Chat SAAS is a major expense is probably pretty small. I think the refund is more important for how it impacts Slack than how it impacts its customers. As long as the refund is substantial enough to significantly impact Slack's bottom line, then I'm more inclined to believe that they are going to make a serious effort to avoid paying it in the future. That said, I'm not sure that refunding at this level represents a sufficient incentive.

The vast majority of convictions arise from plea bargaining.

Prosecutors and law enforcement stack charges so that it appears to be a 'good deal' to just accept a plea deal rather than risk trial and spending decades behind bars on the slight chance you will be falsely convicted.

IMO this is the single biggest problem with our system.

Plea bargaining and prosecutorial discretion makes a mockery of due process.

Overloaded public defenders and the lack of competent and affordable defense attorneys shifts most of this problem to the lower income brackets.

2. Skips past the resume filter, HR phone screen, and technical phone screen. After you've gone through the TripleByte technical interview, you skip directly to on-site final interviews at the companies. If your resume is non-traditional (self taught, bootcamp, etc) this is pretty significant.
Probably not, but he would not dare join KFC for the fear that Burger King decides to sue him. Even if he wins the case, he will go bankrupt navigating the court.

And KFC would include a question on their hiring form "Are you subject to a non-compete clause?" to cover their asses. If he answers yes, he is immediately disqualified and KFC moves to the next candidate. After all, it's not like he has unique knowledge for which it is worth getting sued over, unlike Lewandowski. If he answers no and it is ever discovered he had lied, he is immediately fired.
Even if hiring from the union is not forced onto them, new hires are often glad to join in on the price-fixing.

Not after this: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2016/jan/17/briton-fights-ex...

I won't summarize that article, since it's all quite clear as long as you read to the end. The upshot is, that anyone diving in Malta is subject to bizarre legal risk if something goes wrong. It's a bit like stopping to help at an accident, and then being charged with causing it!

The whole thing raised a massive stink amongst BSAC divers, since it seemed (at one point) that BSAC insurance wouldn't support him. I think he's still 6 figures out of pocket.

TL/DR: do not dive in Malta.
