What? I don't see how electric versus petroleum drivetrain has any impact on esthetics and brand. People buy BMWs because they want to be seen driving BMWs, or they like the styling and performance. It's the same reason people spend 10 grand on a Leica camera and lenses when a $500 Fuji will do just as well if not better at the actual photography.
We might not be crushed in machinery as children or poisoned by the products we produce at the same rate as in the industrial era, but that was seen in the same way as humans living today to be an acceptable cost of making a living. The question is of the acceptance of compulsory discomfort leading to potential harm later being an unquestioned norm.
I chose not to have kids. Was a great call becauses kids are like 1,000,000 each (when you factor in investment returns).

How can you think India got screwed? There would be nothing but sweatshops without protecting own market, instead India got Tata Group which owns Land Rover/Jaguar and Daewoo car business. Look what happened in eastern Europe after "progressive" governments opened to the west and sold everything for pennies.
Core focus, competency implies being competent. With this I’m less convinced.
"Uber recently placed an order for 24,000 Volvo cars that will be modified for driverless operation. Delivery is scheduled to start next year."

Wow. The other driverless car players should be all over this lobbying to shut Uber down. If Uber massively deploys a commercial service with subpar quality in order to "win", and then those cars start getting into accidents, the entire field is going to be delayed by 10 years. The general public is not going to just think "Uber is bad", they are going to think "self-driving cars are bad". Politicians will jump all over it and we'll see very restrictive laws that no one will have the guts to replace for a long time.

And honestly if that happens, that's probably what we would need anyway. If the industry doesn't want to be handcuffed they need to figure out some really good standardized regulations on sharing data with law enforcement, how to determine fault for self-driving vehicles, and what penalties there should be. That are fair and strict.
That’s quite a bit of historical revisionism.

The Germans bombed the hell out of civilians indiscriminately all over Europe, including London and most other large cities in the UK years before the allies bombed German cities.

Retaliation-in-kind during open war isn’t the same thing as terrorism.
> The fact that several members of the Trump campaign have been indicted and made plea deals indicates that there is a lot of criminal activity there to unpack. Most definitely not business as usual.

It was most definitely business as usual. DC is dirty at every corner and most administrations are overflowing with it, including the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Obama's was cleaner than both of those, based on what we know so far.

You also need to look at what those Trump campaign members were indicted for: absolutely nothing to do with colluding with Russia to rig the election. They got them on rather routine political corruption charges, which you can probably get half of DC for given the way it operates, if you look. It's the Xi premise of cleaning up China's corruption: they're all doing it, you can get any of them if you want to investigate closely enough.
Which contacts are you talking about? The ones where CNN reported the wrong date on an email?
i forgot the most important part, this helps makes the decision of when to actually commit to making the change. instead of setting aside bandwidth to address debt just on principle, you can make a reasoned argument that says 'new feature y would fall out naturally if we reworked x, and is going to be a disaster if we don't, so maybe we probably should'

>One large tree can lift up to 100 gallons of water out of the ground and discharge it into the air in a day.

This won't forest the desert. It may supplement a couple areas which could almost sustain trees, but trees are some of the most water-thirsty plants around.
You know your audience, well: they supplied the downvotes, but no contrary bibliography.
Isn't this just as easily explainable by older workers having been there longer, and therefore having higher salaries, and therefore having the most to save by firing them? The fact that they fired more older workers isn't, in and of itself, proof that older workers were targeted.
People also act like everyone has access to good lawyers or ones that would take on a case like this. The aforementioned 'lying in business' part comes in to play here where instead of 'we don't hire [race x]' it's 'The candidate did not meet the qualifications' or some other bullshit excuse.

It would take some hard evidence for me, the unemployed or in the less powerful position, to really make a go of proving I wasn't hired because of some discrimination.

The fear of blackballing on the employee side for many things and the fear of lawsuits (which, when you sign on at employer, typically includes some language about arbitration these days) on the employer side are overblown, I agree, and makes everyone cut throat.

I want to make enough to pay for rent, food, and have some time off to chill. Your company wants to stay and business and make money. Let's make a deal that benefits us both.
The title is a tad bit misleading. The article itself states that there is no smoking gun but a lot of anecdotal indicates that IBM is targeting older workers. So nothing was confirmed.

But it is an industry-wide open secret that tech firms want to get rid of their older workers and replace them with younger workers or possibly offshore the position. Startup scene is outright hostile towards older tech workers where the vast majority of the work force is in their 20s.

I don't see this getting any better. IBM is a special case because they have been suffering during this tech/economic boom we are in right now. So they have been laying off lots of people while most of the tech world has been hiring. I think many corporations are waiting for a recession to provide them an excuse to "trim" their tech workforce and I suspect most of that "trimming" will be done at the older end.

I'm just asking you to back up your assertion that "Russian Intelligence is responsible for helping to expose a significant criminal conspiracy in the US" with evidence within the leaked documents... or by actually describing the specific conspiracy that was exposed.

What election fraud? What is "subverting the will of the people and the authorized government" supposed to refer to?

I'm not assuming anything, but bold and unsubstantiated assertions of conspiracy are just noise in threads like this.
This looks quite promising. However, I'm burned a few too many times buying and trying to use tablets for drawing.

I had the iliad, a Dutch tablet in the very early days of e-paper. Slow, unworkable latency in drawing, buggy software, low support for digital book formats. I tried a few other e-paper devices since then, but they didn't improve on a lot.

The Microsoft Surface 2 seriously improved on this space. But it was still not feeling well - still too much lag. And then there is the huge problem that Windows is not suitable for tablets - it's a nightmare to work with compared to Android.

Surface 3 got it right enough, the feel is good enough to do some serious drawing on it. Microsoft OneNote is pretty much ideal for many usecases but has its cases where it becomes unbearingly slow. I have not yet tried the Surface 4 or the iPad Pro.

The ideal of an android device with a OneNote version which supports plugins and an app-store on a color latencyless e-paper display is still a decade away it seems.
I would start by recognizing that the physical and mental health of your employees is also a "limited resource". Many companies, from scrappy and small to profitable and mega-huge abuse their human capital because health and wellness of human capital doesn't show up in a P&L.

And if you feel with your limited resources that you need to push your work environment to an unhealthy point to survive, you'd better be sure that you're doing that only after exerting the same shrewd force to get the unreasonably good pricing from your vendors, squeezing your investors for as much money as they'll give you, cut-throating your competition to the same ethically-questionable level, and red-teaming your model and roadmap to be sure you're not wasting one breath on anything superfluous.

Beyond that, if you have truly arrived at a point where you are asking things of your employees that could jeopardize their physical and mental health, be honest and open with your people about it. Candor goes a long way. And then, identify the exact things that are taking a toll on physical and mental health, and address them one at a time.
I don't mean being promoted out of your level of competence though.

Like in my case I make a good manager and a good programmer. But the skills needed to be a good manager are not rare. You need to have N years of experience, be a good communicator, and take responsibility.

To be a good programmer requires a lot of willpower and discipline. You have to constantly work hard and be on your toes. It's not something most people can do.

So in some regions, like Asia, someone who would be good at both would probably have a much more lucrative career as a star programmer than as a star manager.
But it wasn't what "they" said. Because Trump never got any dirt on Hillary. I mean, how could there be any? Hillary would never do anything wrong.

Carbon-dating and other forensic methods should be able to nail that down much more precisely. If nothing else, at some point, national DNA databases will pinpoint the fetus's relatives.

The examiners don't judge that. They just check that you meet the educational requirements, that you did an apprenticeship under supervisors who have a good safety record, and that those supervisors think you are qualified. Then you get your license. If there's a safety incident relating to your work and you were acting recklessly, you may lose your license.

That's the whole process. Repeat that over a long enough period of time and you tend to select for a more competent, safety-conscious group of engineers.

Over the long term, its survival of the fittest. Reckless engineers have safety incidents and get barred from both working and from supervising new engineers. So, it tends to be the safer engineers who get to pass on their work culture to the next generation of engineers.
It still falls under "one swallow does not make a summer" - even though a lot of days of winter preceeded that bird sighting.
I see, so the relatively low bandwidth of a static QR code is mitigated by a high frame rate.

What your saying is that these machines don't log at the operating system level, in the fashion of a tracelog, but count on bad actors to use COTS implementations of those system level calls, and log the high level events?

Its a good thing that there isn't much overlap between people who understand penetration strategies and people who can write their own software.
Wow, didn't even know about the Fetch API. XMLHTTPRequest, the API that changed software forever by igniting a wave of more powerful browser applications, is finally going to be replaced. Funny that the last 20 years of the web were all built on this ridiculous API that Microsoft came up with to try and make Outlook work in a browser. Good riddance, but you will be missed. Not that any of us has used that disgusting API directly in the last 10 years.

Kritas first name was KImageShop, which got legal threat from a German lawyer for being too similar to Photoshop. They renamed it Krayon, which the same lawyer threatened over it being too similar to Crayon. So they then went with Krita, because it wasn't a name already associated to a popular brand having anything to do with art in Germany.
No kidding, it just kept going and going.
My personal way around this is that a democracy using state power to interfere in a dictatorship, with the goal of bringing democratic reforms, is net better for humanity than doing nothing to oppose them. State power includes sanctions, embargoes, tariffs, and the promise of lifting those measures for the preferred candidate/party.

I do suspect we only disagree on the degree of influence.
My measure of core competency is capability + capacity. (Tesla and Ford, for example, do not have the same core competencies, and to your point, have core focus in each of the others.)
The claim is that campaign spending is so determinative of election results that we have to throw people in prison for spending money to express their political opinions in unapproved ways. Both the primaries and general election in 2016 are strong evidence against this. (Sanders outspent Clinton: https://www.npr.org/2016/04/29/476047822/sanders-campaign-ha.... Jeb Bush spent a fortune: http://time.com/money/4231669/election-2016-money-spent/).
''Dressed in faded, threadbare GoreTex, a couple of months shy of his sixty-ninth birthday, Pete was a gangly, slightly stooped man who had returned to the high reaches of the Himalaya after a long absence. In 1966 he’d made the first ascent of the Vinson Massif, Antarctica’s highest point. In 1958 he’d made history as the driving force behind the first ascent of Hidden Peak, a 26,470-foot mountain in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan—the highest first ascent ever achieved by American climbers. Pete was even more famous, however, for playing a heroic role in an unsuccessful expedition to K2 in 1953, the same year Hillary and Tenzing reached the peak of Everest.

The eight-man expedition was pinned down in a ferocious blizzard high on K2, waiting to make an assault on the summit, when a team member named Art Gilkey developed thrombophlebitis, a life-threatening altitude-induced blood clot. Realizing that they would have to get Gilkey down immediately to have any hope of saving him, Schoening and the others started lowering him down the mountain’s steep Abruzzi Ridge as the storm raged. At 25,000 feet, a climber named George Bell slipped and pulled four others off with him. Reflexively wrapping the rope around his shoulders and ice ax, Schoening somehow managed to single-handedly hold on to Gilkey and simultaneously arrest the slide of the five falling climbers without being pulled off the mountain himself. One of the more incredible feats in the annals of mountaineering, it was known forever after simply as The Belay.*''

It's occurred to me lately that we probably need to get autonomous vehicles on the road even a bit earlier than this, since delaying how quickly the safety learning curve is mounted has a long-term cost in lives, too.
Yes of course, but not with a previously agreed cause of action.
> In fact, they specifically said employees were not waiving their right when it came to age and could pursue age discrimination cases against the company.

> But, the new documents added, employees had to waive the right to take their age cases to court. Instead, they had to pursue them through private arbitration. What’s more, they had to keep them confidential and pursue them alone. They couldn’t join with other workers to make a case.

Forced arbitration means they were aware that this would appear to be an age discrimination case... And chose to continue with their actions without trying to dissuade that idea.
How exactly does one enforce in the code a policy of "you can use the data you've collected for the purpose you stated, but you can't use it for any other purpose, nor share it"?
Luxury is the wrong word for the segment Tesla is competing in. “Premium” is closer, but still wrong.

“High end” feels a lot closer. A kitchen aid mixer isn’t a luxury item, but it has a good profit margin and people who love mixers will buy it.

Tesla is more like that... there’s no hand stitched Italian leather or whatever, but the software is top of the line, the drivetrain is top of the line, it has unique features that make it a better car, without competing on who can make the prettiest mahogony inlay.

Like, not having to stand at a smelly gas station in your heels and pump your gas is a luxury. But Tesla doesn’t sell you a wall charger with gold accents.
You've added something that was not in the article. The IP address was not necessarily in the GRU HQ. The IP was in Moscow. The IP allowed the agent to be identified. That might mean the IP was in the GRU HQ but not necessarily. Once the agent was identified, they knew (possibly based on other intel collection) that he works out of (has as a "home" office) the GRU HQ.

its absurd to imagine that the US would limit the sale of its own devices, on some sense of fairness; its much more believable to think that every other country would limit sale of US devices in their own country, should they see fit.

And if the US has an lucky, unfair hand, it would be irresponsible and downright stupid to not make use of it.

Imagining countries as rational operators, having seperate (maybe moral) expectations on export vs import is exactly what you should expect

It has the chargepoint reservation system, but I'm the admin and it's easy to see that it's not contended enough for anyone to worry.

Sorry, not trying to be a put down. Just a lot of code smells that I see reviewing other people's go at work. Things like the abundance of interfaces, defining your own IO and error handling, use of reflection, and using third party libraries for simple tasks. I'll definitely say the code is at least clean and well documented, so kudos there.
Yes workplaces are broken. I have been in those that are broken and in some cases I have persevered because of mortgage and other bills. But, I made choices to leave, even in the face of not having a new job to go to. Yes, it can be very difficult to do this.

However, if you stay in a job that is killing you in any kind of fashion, health, mental, emotional or spiritual, then you are staying for the wrong reasons.

There is always some kind of work available, even if you have to move to get it that will be better for you than what you may be in now. If you are in a horrible high tech job paying great money but it is killing you, then you may be better off riding the back of a garbage truck or cleaning the local municipal toilets.

Too many people fall into the trap that they have to stay in a soul-killing job because they have to pay the mortgage, the school bills, etc, etc,etc.

You don't have to do this and if more people actually bit the bullet and left, the reputation of those businesses would filter out into the broader community. As long as more people don't stand up and challenge the wrongness of these systems then they will continue to perpetrate.

The older I get, I have more and more peers and friends who are from all walks of life and at every socio-economic level. All face problems of some sort or another. It is a matter of what and how you do things. There are many situations that are extremely difficult to "get out" of. But you can, if you are willing to look beyond where you are and seek help. It is just that people don't seem able to do this.

When I first read the words "Fear is the mind-killer" in the Frank Herbert novel Dune, it struck me as having significance in everyday life. People fear many things. This fear stops them from moving forward. There is a solution to this fear, but for many people that solution is more troublesome for them than the fears they face, because it means giving up a lot of things (individual to each person) that they hold dear to themselves.

Seeking and knowing Jesus Christ is that way, but on His terms not ours. He never promised easy times or prosperity in the here and now. He did promised freedom and peace of mind in the troubles of the day. But of course, for those who rely on their own capabilities and knowledge such words are of little meaning and no effect.
It's really convenient to use easily debunked stuff to prevent people from looking into other things. For example, "flat earth" is not designed to convince any normal person Earth is actually flat. Paradoxically, you just "fell for" the actual utility of the "we didn't land on the moon" stuff, sure you can find genuine people that believe just about anything, but that's just a side issue. This is very common if you study disinformation a bit.
