That's pretty much my philosophy, I have 2 full sleeves and a few other pieces. Both of the sleeves were not much more instructions to the artists (both close friends) than "I am a fan of X style or Y artist, a sleeve in that style would be neat". Then you go from there (make sure you have lots and lots of money!).
From the review, it sounds like our current political problems receive no attention/treatment, and that Pinker advocates a future-dependent technological solution (better/more nuclear power to increase clean power generation) to a political problem we currently face (no will/incentive to enforce taxation scheme to reduce the status quo of carbon emissions) :

> What, for instance, about climate change? Pinker is no climate-change denier, and admits that “the challenge is daunting.” But then he quickly pivots from his position that things are getting better and better to say that we can avoid the looming doom if only we start taxing carbon emissions, increase the use of nuclear power, and engage in deliberate climate engineering to lower global temperatures.

> He largely disregards the fact that the political will to move in any of these directions is wholly lacking and will remain so as long as the party that controls the White House and Congress refuses to admit that a problem even exists. When it comes to his favored technological solution, nuclear power, Pinker also seems determined to ignore the problem that the people who manage plants do not always follow their own safety procedures and cannot plan for every possible natural disaster (as Fukushima showed all too dramatically). The industry, he insists, has learned from its mistakes. But has it?

I’ve been 100% remote for two years with a trip to the office every 5 months or so and this is roughly the same strategy I use to stay connected during those visits.

“What are you working on? What’s next? What do we need most?" 1-on-1, less than 30 minutes, we're a pretty loosely structured org so it’s all self-initiated. Works well, I’m more comfortable with my colleagues and they’re more comfortable with me, we know roughly what each other are working on, and bandwidth is so much higher in person than on video or text chat.
I use it mainly on the interstate.

There is a section of interstate near my house with a long, sweeping high speed curve. When I first got the car, I'd have to take control on that curve, as AP would drift too far to the outside of the lane. Now I can leave AP on.

When I first got the car, driver initiated AP controlled lane changes (using the signal to tell AP to change lanes) took a long time to initiate, and when they finally started, they were very abrupt. They now start sooner, and are much smoother.

In the earlier versions, if you didn't hold the the turn signal long enough, the lane change would abort in a terrifying swerve back into the original lane. I have not seen that in quite a while (then again, I may have trained myself to always hold the turn signal long enough)

I don't get this kind of purchases. If McAfee intends to just let TunnelBear be TunnelBear, then what they're after must the business (as in the profit). In that case would there be more business sense in not selling, from the TunnelBear perspective?

Edit: Also TunnelBear isn't joining McAfee, or I doubt that they are. McAfee BOUGHT them. Joining implies that you merged the two businesses with no money changing hands.

Tell the difference, no. But being sure that the difference really matters might cost you even more. Note that anybody can already see whether a diamond is natural or artificial with their naked eyes: by looking at the certificate that came with it (or didn't). The problem is deciding whether the difference matters.
Clinton was vocally pro TPP through ~2012 but gradually flip-flopped during the run-up to the campaign and actively opposed it during the campaign. It's absolutely possible that she would have flip-flopped again if elected, but I don't think you can really say that with certainty.

2012: "This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements" [0]

2014: "Because TPP negotiations are still ongoing, it makes sense to reserve judgment until we can evaluate the final proposed agreement." [0]

2016: "I will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages – including the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I oppose it now, I’ll oppose it after the election, and I’ll oppose it as president." [1]

Useful stuff! Any other hacks you recommend?
Well this time is different. There is just one planet. Inevitably someone will pipe up that we need planet scale 'Geo-engineering' and faced with a system so far out of control already inevitably someone is going to fund some 'academics' to do something drastic to "save the planet".

Problem is in science 99% of the time in complex systems the experiments turn out something unexpected. Odds we'll accelerate doom instead of postponing it are pretty significant.

And all that just because we refuse to reign-in a socio-economic system in which the safe and assured solution, abstinence, is impossible to achieve as there is no single party making 'a profit' on it.
Could we maybe adjust the title to say something like, “A Career Cold Start Algorithm For Managers”?

It’s somewhat applicable to individual contributors, but it’s intended more for managers, which I didn’t realize until halfway through it. Might just add some clarity for folks opening it up without any context.
Yea, but it will not open up this topic for a discussion. Stripe has been recommended here to newbies a lot of time, there is lots of risk in going around and accepting credit card payments from people you barely know.
Some might end up foolishly thinking that they can just charge any amount using that API, withdraw that money and walk away.
I thought that De Beer had changed their approach to one of promoting the imperfections of real diamonds. And the news this week regarding "deeper" diamonds having exceedingly rare minerals embedded within could further this cause.

"Rare" still has status and therefore a price premium.
> Totally ordered request processing requires waiting for global consensus at each step, and thus fundamentally limits the throughput of each replica-set.

really? such global consensus increases latency (network round trip plus fsync write), with a fully batched and pipelined concurrent design, when CPU cycles are being saturated in those benchmarks, why throughput is fundamentally limited by such increased latency?

In this thread alone you've already expended more energy than it would have taken to just do the right thing with your blog.
Feel like diamonds are such a great example for the 'a free-market' people. They typically argue that in a truly free-market everything is better.

Well diamond trade exists largely in a free market until it hits some of the countries they sell in but before that we basically have blood being spilt over them and companies existing outside of strong regulated countries to funnel the diamonds into and control the price.

A truly free-market seems very scary in a modern world.

Clojure is an opinionated Lisp whose focus on simplicity, and orientation around data, may draw people away from the nested language approach.

You certainly can use macros to build DSLs in Clojure (the Midje and Korma libraries make heavy use for them, for example). But over-heavy use of macros is discouraged when common library functions operating on simple data structures will do.

For a very different approach which feels much more aligned w/ PG's comment, have a look at Norvig's "Paradigms of AI Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp." Reading it changed my notion of what Lisp is / can be; you can write Clojure programs that look similar, but it seems to be rare to do so.
Companies like Facebook and Google are setting the agenda for the web. They can afford highly trained staff, high development costs, high failure risks, etc. because they have nearly unlimited budgets.

"Free" tools have crowded out the market for commercial tools that make money based on web creators succeeding at their goals.
This point is mostly about looks, not skeuomorphism.

Yes. And I think the article is also good advice for coaches / consultants.

When I come to a new team, I always try to find out a lot of things during the coffee breaks. But the approach from the article is more structured.

So, I guess I will try a mix of the two approaches next time ;)
Joining implies that you merged the two businesses with no money changing hands.

Not in typical usage because that typically doesn't happen.
I think you somewhat hit on this when you mentioned Facebook and Twitter. It seems to me that any business that connects people in more rural areas with the masses is a potential winner (consider how rural areas grow quickly when they're connected directly by rail or an interstate). Maybe some sort of marketplace app or website that expands the reach of rural businesses; Etsy for the best mom and pop shops across the country?

Well let's think about this a little bit, because I like the intention, if not the execution.

I think the fundamental issue here is that this site doesn't have a clear concept of "bias," and perhaps because there isn't a useful clear-concept of bias.

For example, If you throw out all subjective claims, well then you throw out morality too. If you throw out speculative claims, well nothing is known 100%, so you ultimately draw an arbitrary line.
There's a bit of conflicting verbiage around this, but the 'copyright notices' that are mentioned in the linked article aren't actually DMCA takedown requests; they're Content ID matches.

The Content ID system is a private arrangement between Youtube and various rightsholders, and it allows them to assert control without the legal repercussions involved in DMCA claims.

The EFF has another article[0] which goes into more detail on the two systems, but I found that to be a bit confusing as well - it seems to conflate the two systems at times.

Vendoring in your dependencies is definitely not hard in a dynamic language, just for some reason most projects never bother. I doubt it's a significant reason why they've been moving to Go.

I think it's more prosaic reasons, like that's the language their job uses. People who use dynamic languages tend not to think of themselves as specialists in their stack.

I wish this is how all managers thought. Most love to stay on their level, and know nothing of what is actually going on a step below them. They take pride in pushing information up or down the chain without an inkling of how anything actually runs/works.

Does the shanghai subway now require IDs to use? That doesn’t sound right, they do spot checks for sure but...foreigners use it also.

And you don’t need to buy a ticket if your RF transit card is filled up, so the point of the kiosk checking ID via facial recognition is even weirder. Maybe they setup that condition for expository reasons? There is no way kiosks are going to screen everyone during rush hour, even if they work perfectly.

On the hitlist of “Project CAMBERDADA”, an NSA-led initiative, were Russian giant Kaspersky, Finnish firm F-Secure, Romania’s BitDefender, Germany’s Avira, Slovakia’s ESET, South Korean giant AhnLab, as well as Czech vendors AVG and Avast. Some firm’s may have been on the list purely because of their association with Kaspersky. Israel’s Check Point, which licenses the Kaspersky anti-virus engine for its consumer product, ZoneAlarm, was also a target. Older versions of F-Secure also used the Kaspersky signature database, which contained lists of blacklisted malware.

GCHQ appears to have targeted Russian anti-virus provider Kaspersky, whilst the NSA has led an initiative to expose the tech of various partners and competitors.

But American anti-virus leaders McAfee and Symantec were not on the list. Neither was Sophos, the UK’s best-known anti-virus provider.

not on the list because they don't need to be on the list? ;D .. makes u wonder why they want a vpn provider... maybe it was too secure :P

It doesn't justify her frustration at all. There is no indication she tried to help (e.g. by teaching, explaining the superiority of her method, etc.), ever. Her frustration would be justified if she'd been acting like a senior, experienced person and constantly met with ambivalence or incompetence, but there's no indication of that in this blog post. Her frustration absolutely does not justify her actions anyway so I'm not sure it's relevant.
Right, but what's wrong with that? you can't win the suit if the people who issued the request are acting in good faith, so you can't trick them into issuing a takedown if they are not acting maliciously.

in the early days of the do not call list, you could make quite a lot of money off of bad actors who ignored it. there was incentive to get your number on both the do not call list, and cold calling registries, and very quickly made malicious telemarketing untenable.

Lamarkianism claims animals manipulate their own genome to achieve a purpose. Intelligent design claims evolution exhibits purposeful change, which can be scientifically detected. Darwinian evolution claims all purpose is illusive, and merely a function of random variation and natural selection. Consequently, if Lamarkianism is true, then so is intelligent design.
It has to be more than just "is aware of harmful effects but continues to use", otherwise anyone who is aware of the existence of hangovers (or other negative effects) but continues to drink alcohol is "abusing" it.

Depends on the size and life of the project and average term of service. If your project is a decade old and massive, where many on the team have been on the project for 5+ years - Yes, a 'newbie' needs a (non-trivial, 1 year could be too long or too short) amount of time to ramp up on why things are like they are before they can make a nuanced suggestion for improvement.

A smaller project that's in a constant state of flux? Of course suggest giant overarching changes when they appear to make sense. What's proper depends heavily on the context of the group and project.

A Quick Easy Guide to Deep Learning with Java – Deeplearaning4j / DL4J
That article was so hard to read. He jumps to so many conclusions without any logical path like the use of TLS will stress the bandwidth of providers, claiming its like "unauthorized taking of the provider's transport network resources". How will TLS vs not TLS meaningfully impact amount of traffic on a network? He doesn't say, just claims it. I'm guessing he means the provider can't throttle/control traffic based on packet inspection as easily? Regardless, this is like saying everyone in the neighborhood running all of their faucets at the same time is like stealing from the water provider. That's literally their only job, to be a pipe for water. People aren't stealing by stressing the network, if anything the network would be stealing for not running as advertised.
