Be careful during their interview. The interviewer will trick you (with a witty "all candidates fail on this case") in a corner case mentioned orally but missing from the written test cases to support.

Also, be careful, the while the code for the pre-interview features all the logic to run tests case, the "human" interview will miss this feature and you'll lose time re-implementing a makeshift system during the call.
I did this in December 2016…to this day all email addresses that were tied to that account are banned from FB. I recently created a new FB account using a totally virgin email address and FB locked the account once I started friending my "former" network. They do offer to unlock my account(s) if I upload photos of two government documents, which I decline to do.
As someone who does large scale computational work for a living, stuff like this is close to my heart. I often run into serious memory and run time constraints due to poorly written codes that have rather dumb understanding of the real underlying machine implementation that modern processors actually have rather than this imaginary PDP-11 that we've been brought up to believe.

I wonder how much I could save (and how many more sims I could run) if my codes were rewritten in a language that has an abstract system that is much more cleanly and simply translated to what the computer actually does in 2018.

No, I don't think it's OK to exploit people; I think I said as much.

I don't believe that it's exploitive to make an offer of salary that an employee is overjoyed to accept. If you believe that's exploitive, you should run your company differently or work for a company that doesn't do that.

If you are someone who charges your phone while listening to music on a regular basis, then I can see the lack of headphone jack being an issue.

The real solution for that problem, in my opinion, is to just put two USB C or two lightning ports on the phone. They have much more usage than a 3.5mm port. Two places to charge from, charge and have external storage attached, etc.
Well, not bodily. Transmigration is the term. It means that a human consciousness is said to separate from the person's body once they die (the body stops activities and decomposes); the consciousness is said to be able to remain indepedent by its energy being "installed" onto a certain amount of gas, however strange that sounds at first, and that's what they call a "spirit" or "ghost" in the East. Then when that energy disappears, if the person didn't destroy themselves through some kind of problem they got while being alive the previous time, they are reborn through what is in their "origin", which was composed entirely of what that person has done. They forget all memories from past lives because memories are according to Buddhist teaching said to be stored in the consciousness and once that consciousness deteriorates and disappears, they're are gone. But what the person has done doesn't disappear and it's said that a person can find teachings earned in a past life in their own origin again. That's their explanation for why some people are naturals at some things and others are not. They gain a new body through rebirth but their soul (consciousness) is supposed to stay the same unless they lose themselves and along with it, their ability to be born as a human.

Had a lot of time to read this stuff. It goes pretty deep.

They can vote.

However, any system that allows people to rent seek by creating building restrictions that protect their property values is not an optimal solution. So sure, they can vote but they should not be able to vote on zoning.

What about nuisances or factories or what have you? Well, that's easy enough to take care of through noise ordinances. Land use zoning is mostly a well intentioned but terrible in practice policy idea.
I feel the same and started working on an mainframe assembly codebase a couple of months ago. I'm very happy.
That's true, but potentially not enough. The fraction of the population that is renting now is still (by definition in the case of a hot market!) much smaller than the fraction of the demographic that wants to move to the area and needs to be served by a just housing policy.

I would much prefer censorship circumvention to be possible, but I have some sympathy for platform providers not wanting their customers and their platform to be conflated so easily.
I don't get it, how does sporadically deleting cookies help? Sites don't, I assume, store significant amounts of data in them that would get irrecoverably lost. And even for cookies identifying you it should not be too hard to stitch two histories connected to two different cookies back together on the server based on your IP or browser fingerprint. And if they were actually worried about negatively impacting the user experience, why would you not selectively destroy the cookies? Just keep my preferences and give me a new authentication token so that I remain logged in and don't loose my preferences, the browser already has a feature to delete everything. So what am I missing, how is this a useful privacy feature?

The quality of discussion around the GDPR here on HN was not up to the standard quality. Part of it was because, in my opinion, a lot of people here are entrepreneurs and this made them really subjective and almost blind-sided them to the benefits for users.

The GDPR is not perfect but it's a great long term measure, one I hope will be followed (and improved upon!) by other administrations.

I get the outrage over cheating, and it really bothered me in classes that graded on a curve that the cheaters would really adversely impact the people who didn't.

But there is a meta question here, why does a youtube "star" even succumb to the idea of advertising/promoting a cheating product, when doing so might put all of their Youtube revenue at risk? Maybe it is because they get crap Youtube revenue and 'several hundred dollars' is enough to push past their moral compass.

People put a lot of heart and sweat into their Youtube channels. Perhaps it is that Google is increasingly sucking more and more of the money that used to go to the channel in order to prop up their service which can't get advertising revenues to support it.

I wonder when the Screen Actors Guild is going to figure out they have another battlefront to engage on.
I frequently see the associate work longer hours and more consistently.

How are they going to benefit by working harder? And whatever that answer is, is it apparent to them? If the employee sees no benefit (money, or whatever) to working harder, why would they?

Have you told them that, given them support in developing those skills, and shown them a clear path to how doing those things will lead to a promotion, or some other benefit to them?

Repeal 13 and lower the property taxes from 1.3% to 0.6%.

Of course, about 80 to 90% of the existing homeowners (in many neighborhoods most people bought they're homes more than 20 years ago, you can verify this for yourself on zillow) won't like that, as they're currently paying about 0.1 to 0.05%! So, it's a pretty hard sell.

Google throws down a few hundred grand to get the .app domain, in concert with modifying their web browser to deliberately mark others' traffic as "Insecure" (it is not necessarily!), and reaps the fees now and in perpetuity ever year thereafter for maintaining a simple database of DNS glue entries which you literally could maintain using MS Access (by which I mean, the database schema and maintainence is bog-simple).

I am Norwegian and I believe we also have problems with loneliness in Scandinavia, but perhaps not this severe. While living in the US I did in fact feel very lonely. It was easy to make lots of friends, but most friendships felt fairly shallow. I felt people in America was so into putting on a facade all the time rather than showing their true self and their vulnerabilities.

It could of course just be a cultural difference, the place I was in or whatever. But regardless it was one of the reasons I left the US. I've been able to find deeper friendships in other countries. Although no place has it been so quick to make friends as in the US, getting invited to people's home etc. So Americans are easy to be around and fun to hang around.

But when you are alone in a country without family, you feel a need to have some really close friends.
Heh, apologies for not being more insightful! I was simply rebutting your point over the GDPR applying once you’ve made a few sales to customers in the EU which is not the case on those facts alone.

Obviously each case should be dealt with on its own facts to assess the application of GDPR. In the example you give, GDPR may well apply. Some companies may be worried, others may see it as an opportunity.

I know lots of US SaaS companies are embracing GDPR rather than being worried about it. Clearly if you are looking to get business from EU customers but want to argue GDPR doesn’t apply due to the fact you are not strictly speaking targeting EU users then that might present an issue for certain potential EU customers (or maybe they could offer a cost discount because they haven't had to go through a GDPR compliance exercise). On that basis lots of companies outside the EU are pro-actively looking to comply with GDPR.

Arguments over the appropriateness of extra-territoriality applicability are a separate matter of course!

Basket analysis. Performance comparison of most common algorithms
I used the Firefox extension Scrapbook, until the change to WebExtensions killed it.

I feel changes like this are incrementally making the Web "theirs" and not "ours".

Separately, someone replied on here to me, a few months ago, that archive.org's policy for respecting -- or not -- robots.txt was in the process of changing.

I don't think that putting up a robots.txt policy should be able to retroactively remove from archive what was previously public. All the more so when the domain in question has changed hands.

But I expect this nonsense to continue. So, I only trust local copies.

Unfortunately, for me, killing the Scrapbook extension made them less convenient to collect.

Wouldn't people who are poly or non-monogamous be less likely to have a relationship status of 'married' or 'in a relationship'?

They did explicitly state that they want to promote 'relationships' not 'hook-ups' so I guess that is the easiest way to achieve that. Maybe they'll add new relationship status descriptions if people complain.
Just because the OS is still supported it doesn't mean your software or new hardware you want is. I've been using RHEL or CentOS at my job on workstations for 10+ years. During that entire time it's been a struggle to get a "modern" browser working for longer than 6mo to a year (it was even harder when Flash was in the picture). I don't think I'd even bother trying to install it on a brand new laptop.

We are usually in the middle of update cycles for CentOS. Being an individual will probably make it easier upgrade more frequently. We're currently half 6.7 and half 7.2. We're only now looking to make our second serious push and take everything to 7.4.
Depends! Increased density should drive up the price of land.

However, if you are in a neighborhood of single family homes and a huge multi family building is constructed on your block, your home price will go down because there will be enough supply to meet demand, taking pressure off the single family homes.

If you are in an already dense city and regulations are relaxed so that more high rises can be built in more neighborhoods, the price of your condo all else being equal will be lower because there will be more supply. The land price may well go up but your individual apartment would likely be worth less.
What was it that convinced Google and Amazon to no longer allow this particular censorship evasion?
I'm sorry, but that's a dumb response.

There's value in producing a work that passes muster as an acceptable paper to turn in for an assignment. But there isn't a pre-existing reference good that has a defined market value to counterfeit.
Yes, I told them where we see areas for improvement. They have not taken any action. In our 1:1s they say something like, I still looking into it or I haven't decided what I want to do. My gut tells me they are not interested or motivated to learn new skills outside their comfort zone.

Personally, monetary comp is only part of my motivation. I think this person's main priority is monetary. I was wondering how else, can I motivate a person.

I am sure I worded my original response incorrectly, but I don't care about hours logged. We don't track that stuff, nor is it important. I am aware that their workload is diminished, because their junior associate is taking the brunt of the work. I expected my direct report to step up and play a more strategic role, naturally. Instead they micro manage the associate.

The more I think about it, maybe my employee is not quiet mature enough to take on new responsibilities. I was also hoping my employee would be proactive with their own career pathing - most everyone is. I guess that is a bad on me. I need to help them with a tactical guide to success. Otherwise, they might flounder.

Thanks everyone. You helped me think through this one.
The elephant in the room here is that this was announced at F8 - a conference for platform developers - yet this platform application was developed internally and is one that, because of the neutering of the API, no outside developer could have built. They essentially said “hey developers, look at this neat thing we built that you can’t!”.

I’m curious what the point of F8 actually is at this stage. The platform has become so restricted that social apps can’t be built anymore. Facebook should just acknowledge that outside developers have outlived their usefulness now that they have helped the service attract 2 billion users, and scrap the conference.
It looks like it, indeed.

I was confused because gandi and 101domains did not explicitly state the phase. And gandi took my money and deducted it from my account but apparently did not actually obtain the domain yet.

The part you're missing is:

They aren't spoofing the domain, they are just making sure that outside parties to an SSL connection will have a difficult time determining where that SSL connection is going. The two parties creating the SSL connection are not lying to each other, though.

Google won't get extra fees from sites running HTTPS. There is no indication that they will make any difference between sites on TLDs that enforce HTTPS and any other site with HTTPS enabled. Anyone running a new TLD can make it HTTPS-only if they think that's something domain-buyers want. Where's the problematic way of making profit for them? I don't think being HTTPS-only will do much for the success of .app.
