> At least here, as a rule of thumb, as long as private internet use is permitted, the employer can't legally monitor traffic outside of very specific circumstances. AFAIK you can't get around that by prohibiting personal internet usage without generally enforcing that prohibition.

This isn't relevant here. ECHR has ruled that employers do have the right to read emails, as long as employees are notified in advance (which can include blanket notification as part of their employment agreement). ECHR has jurisdiction over all ECHR countries, which is a superset of EU countries and includes several non-EU countries, like Norway. Other European countries, like Germany, Switzerland, and the UK have also affirmed this right.

Email being roughly analogous to Slack, in the eyes of the law, there's little room for doubt that employers in Europe have the right to read Slack messages on the company's Slack account.

Weird superconductor leads double life
When I was a kid, they just called that "parenting". The generation that has been growing up locked away from the world under constant adult supervision is going to have a hell of a time leaving the crib when the time comes. 30 will be the new 18.

Maybe this will help Facebook and Google's surveillance towns take off, since these adult children would be able to move somewhere else where they'd be under constant supervision.
You'll keep coming up empty, so to speak, trying to nail down the result of spiritual disciplines into a concrete definition. Science's point of view is verifiability by repeatable, direct observation. With spiritual stuff, the healthy attitude that you'll usually get is, "try it for yourself!" The direct experience of the result usually precludes further need to verify from other perspectives.

All that said, I think understanding the science underlying the remarkable experiences people have during or as a result of "mystic" experiences (for which we have pretty decent scientific definitions; see the Johns Hopkins psychedelics questionnaires) is probably what's holding us back from spreading more and better healing. We're not going to move forward giving everyone the usual "Well, it's definitely weird, but it works, just trust me."

School shootings are almost entirely a US phenomenon. No other country in the world, religious or not, experience them enough to consider them a problem.

Mexico, one of the most religious countries in the world, where murder is a daily occurrence and the bodies are displayed on the streets in many towns as a deterrent from opposition to the cartels doesn't have a school shooting problem.

And after seeing the display of "morality" of evangelical christians in recent years, I'm not sure religion and morality are connected in any way.
Certainly illegal in Norway. Hell, I've heard stories of corporate networks up here that MITM all their computers for security monitoring, and where the admins routinely see evidence of searches for sketchy pornography, but can't legally do anything because this kind of surveillance of your employees is illegal.
Most young Europeans don't think that Christian practice is useful or relevant. They're not bulldozing churches or burning books, they're just deciding not to participate in something that they see as archaic. If the churches want to survive as living institutions rather than relics of history, they need to make the case for their survival. They need to put forward a coherent, plausible answer as to why going to church is the best use of a Sunday morning.

Indifference is actually the best case scenario for European churches. In Ireland, the Catholic church is widely regarded as little more than a criminal conspiracy. The church has done practically nothing to change that perception.

So employees can read your private slack right? F it’s really just about creating a safe space, I don’t see why management is exempt.
You may be speaking legally in your final sentence but in natural language terms I'd say there is definitely an expectation of privacy in DMs to a named account; and it's not an unreasonable expectation.

If one DMs "Alex Murdo" then the expectation would be that they alone would read it, or their nominated person. If one DMs "Graphic Design" department then obviously that doesn't stand.

I'd expect contracts and such to contradict this natural expectation however.
This perspective makes a lot of sense to me. My point is that some people are militantly against them and sometimes it's just not a big deal. A lot of companies have very narrow niches that you are unlikely to compete with anyway. If you work for a startup that makes AI powered baby monitors, it's unlikely that your non-compete is going to prevent you from working anywhere outside of the baby product industry (and you'll probably be fine in most areas within that overall industry as well).

Of course, there are people who are going to try to enforce crazy non-compete clauses. Many times, these clauses aren't enforceable if they are too broad. I'm not a lawyer, but when I spoke to one about this, he said that courts will generally not enforce non-competes unless it's pretty clear that the company you move to is an actual competitor (again, IANAL, so don't take this at face value). Still, it's a huge hassle and a big expense to hire a lawyer to defend you, even for a frivolous lawsuit. But this isn't only for non-competes. Companies can also sue for non-disclosure agreement breaches and the like which are nearly universal in employment contracts. Might be hard for them to win those lawsuits, but I'm sure it's a pain to fight them.

When I'm considering a new company, if I google them and see a history of litigation against past employees, I take that into strong consideration in my decision.
> I'm glad to see religion go, but I'm afraid if we remove religion and don't replace the moral component, we will see more societal dysfunction like school shootings.

The US is one of the most religious countries in the developed West and has an atypically high incidence of “social dysfunction like school shootings”.

Absence of religion is not the source of the problem.

Conceptually yes, but note that in Linux there is no such thing as a thread. Only processes. Some of those processes happen to share an address space and belong to a thread-group (TGID), but they are all processes.

This only really matters when you're trying to understand how PID, PPID, and TGID fit together and why there is no TID, though.

Disclaimer: I work at ScaleFT - we offer BeyondCorp-like access controls as a service for servers (SSH & RDP) and internal web apps.

Exactly right... BeyondCorp is more of a reference architecture than a product. Google's own internal implementation is what the research papers focus on, but we're seeing more companies adopt similar models by shifting access controls to the application layer, where a request can be independently authenticated (corporate IdP) and authorized (RBAC, policies) against more dynamic conditions - such as the security posture of the user's device.

The Identity piece is a critical component to the system as the user system of record, but really just one of the inputs in a BeyondCorp-like environment.

I'm currently working to bring my old Galaxy S2 back to life, but I have the Sprint-exclusive version of the phone: the D710, not the international i9100 that everyone else has.

Are there any guides on how to port LineageOS for the i9100 over to the D710? I imagine this is a common problem for anyone who has bought carrier-specific hardware, but I'm not familiar enough with LineageOS to intuitively know how to do it.

Thanks for your work on this project!
Totally agree. If harassment is a problem they'll find other ways, but that doesn't mean an employer has to provide an outlet for them to harass on.
A friend and I in highschool discussed the possibility of governments archiving and recording telephone calls and then using that data to figure out what people's political leanings were to tailor a manchurian candidate. This was years before social media.

I think you’re wrong. A subpoena would probably be granted for a situation where you know that the relevant evidence exists and exactly where it is. But it might not come to that in the scenario you describe, since the employer would also know that a third party has this incredibly damning evidence and would likely try to settle.

I'm always surprised by the amount of DMs people send in Slack. I've worked in 2 companies using Slack and, in both, about 80% of the total messages were DMs. It seems crazy high to me.

No lowpass filter or circuit attentuates any frequency to zero, including your example. The attentuation will be 10^(-huge number), but it wont be zero.

This isn't just pedanticism, you really can't just sample at 2x the corner frequency of your circuit.

I was just about to post words to this effect. The article is quite clearly making an argument for a small amount of violation of laws (but not too much). The claim is that 100% adherence to laws could be suboptimal, as that would prevent us from escaping from local maxima in the utility function.

For the life of me I can't remember where I originally read this quote, but it forever changed my perspective of FB. Paraphrased: "Facebook is 3 things: the wall, the messaging, and an automatically updating rolodex." Many apps fill 1 and/or 2, but nothing satisfies #3. There is no alternative.

For better or for worse: I want to stay in touch with people I've met in the oddest places. In the middle of bumsquash Uruguay, people who had barely ever heard of Europe, but they had Facebook. All of them. The only place on earth where this wasn't true was China, in my experience.

So, no, I won't #deletefacebook. I've stopped using it meaningfully a long time ago, but until something becomes a reliable, multi-decade spanning auto-updating rolodex, I'll have to stay here.

Mastodon will never, ever, not in a billion years fill that gap. And I don't need more alternatives for #1 and #2, so there dies that dream for me.
I googled "insurance fire caused by gasoline in garage" and found https://cpsc.gov/content/consumers-warned-against-storing-ga... as the third result. "CPSC also warns consumers that private storage of more than a limited amount of gasoline (usually five gallons or less) is illegal in many areas, and subsequent fire damage may not be covered by insurance policies."

although IANAL, storing a large quantity of lithium ion batteries seems likely to be considered negligence, which is generally not covered under insurance.

That's so broad and so ridiculous I'm sure it's unenforceable. They basically want to own every idea, every bit of copyrightable IP produced by you during employment but for a year afterwards too! What dirtbag company did this?

I once got the the offer stage with IBM, and they wanted me to assign all rights to any invention or IP produced by me during employment, including on my own time. It's quite common apparently. I have side-projects I work on, and I specifically asked for an exclusion for them. They refused, and I told them where to stick their contract - even although I was borrowing money to pay the rent at the time. But I like to tell this story about IBM to everyone who will listen so other engineers don't waste their time applying. I hope I've personally cost IBM more sharing this story than they cost me in wasted time.

This happened to my dad. He was with a company for 25 years, since its founding. He knew everything there is to know about the particular product they made, not only from being there for so long, but from holding a variety of positions while there including fifteen years as operations manager. He never signed an NDA or noncompete or anything like that. The company was bought by an "investment group" which did it's typical cost-cutting stranglehold to cash in on the name before driving the company into the dirt. I tried to convince him he could start his own company, on his own terms, creating those products with the highest quality craftsmanship. He thought about it, but on his last day when the inevitable came, they coupled his severance pay to signing a shitload of these typically overbearing, draconian clauses.

> The ECHR has ruled that it is not a violation of the convention on human rights, that does not override national law that limits employers if it exists.

It doesn't override national law, but national law is pretty consistently clear that employers have this right as well - that's why the case was before the ECHR in the first place.
I work in California, specifically in Silicon Valley.

What is the "Non-compete Clause" of which you speak? The only time I have heard of is a snippet of conversation that "Judges just laugh at them."

In practice, there a plethora of laws that provide legitimate protection to employers. Taking a copy of the software, copying the customer list, purloining the secret to creating nooks and crannies in muffins are all protected theft. You even have restrictions on your research if you are paid for research in one company and try to do the exact same thing for another company.

It works.
It is trivial to establish that the origins of these ideas are pre-Christian.

The citizens of Athens 500 years before Jesus' birth lived in a well-documented democracy. Democracy became widespread inside the last 350 years, but started at least 2500 years ago, before Christ, in a pantheist society.

In 549 BC Cyrus the Great freed the slaves and explicitly declared the human rights of freedom of religion and racial equality.

Eirene is the Greek goddess of Peace. Her name is 'Peace'. The Athenians were very keen on her in 375 BC.

Jesus himself was born and died in the Pax Romana (Roman Peace), which started before his birth and was so called at the time (reported by Seneca the Younger in 55AD). So peace can't be a Christian idea.

Individual freedom of action and expression, independent of a ruling king or other authority, seems to be more modern idea. The key statements of freedom are all modern, starting with the Magna Carta (1215 AD). So maybe you can score that for Christianity, 1200 years after they got started.
