Depending on your assessment of society, being merely useless isn't good enough. If you estimate society to be generally harmful (whether through wars, environmental destruction, causing mass-exinction, ect), then its morally desirable to be parasitic and drain some of the "power" of society from engaging in harm-producing activities.

Universities receive public funds to operate in the public benefit. Our society has laws to ensure that we don’t just leave people with disabilities behind.

If bootcamps can’t “disrupt traditional education” without providing the same social benefits and complying with the law, then that’s a house that (metaphorically) needs burnin’ down.

That sounds like a great idea. Right now I'm using an app that just blanket-blocks area codes. I got a number in an area code I never go to or know anybody from. Almost all the spam calls are from around there and I block them all. It's not ideal.

I really wish they'd just make some kind of system or authority to keep VOIP from spoofing numbers. It's ridiculous. There's gotta be a way for them to secure that shit. I guess they're just inept.

I'm not even saying it's a 50/50 split because unless you're exceedingly well off, or perhaps consulting from home, it is not going to be that initially - if you want baby to be breastfed, which is ideal whenever possible, someone's got to bring in the income.

I merely took objection to the exclusionary term that is motherhood, because in this context I deal with screaming babies a lot - as a father. That is not "motherhood", it is "parenthood".

Unless it's all about single women bringing their babies up alone? I saw no reference to that in TFA.

It's a bit like craftsman vs craftsperson, not that I really wanted to go there. But there are real reasons for using more inclusionary terms even when the traditional "feel more natural" (to the speaker / author) or whatever.

I suspect that many schoolchildren in the South can also remember the echos of segregation -- even though I started school 1 year after schools were integrated, there were a lot of remaining signs of the segregation era. The elementary school that I went to in 1st grade was torn down a year later because it was falling apart: that was OK for a black school during segregation, but having half the toilets and water fountains broken wasn't OK for an integrated school.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the link provided by another user. "Scant" is read by me to mean 'yes there were in fact videos, just not in the proportion to what should have been" in direct response to "they would not play videos"

There is no room for 'sides to the story'. It was a statement made and countered by this source. We can take issue with the source if you like, but I looked them up and didn't see anything partisan about them.

When MTV debuted on Aug. 1, 1981, at least one black face on the network was a mainstay. It belonged to J.J. Jackson, the sole African American on MTV's roster of video jockeys, or VJs as they became known.

Despite Jackson’s presence on MTV through 1986, the network faced allegations of racism for giving scant airtime to videos featuring people of color. MTV executives have denied that racism was at the root of the network’s “blackout,” saying that black artists received little airplay because their music didn’t fit the channel’s rock-based format.

“MTV was originally designed to be a rock music channel,” said Buzz Brindle, MTV’s former director of music programming, to Jet magazine in 2006. “It was difficult for MTV to find African American artists whose music fit the channel’s format that leaned toward rock at the outset.”

With so few black rockers, adding African Americans to MTV’s roster proved difficult, according to the network’s co-founder Les Garland, whom Jet also interviewed.

“We had nothing to pick from,” Garland explained. “Fifty percent of my time was spent in the early days of MTV convincing artists to make music videos and convincing record labels to put up money to make those videos…”
Java's verbosity made us all hate type systems in the early 2000s so many of us migrated to dynamic languages such as Python, Ruby in the mid 2000s that allowed us to work fast and loose and get things done.

This was actually a replay of what happened with Smalltalk versus C++ in the 80's and 90's, which was a part of the history of how Java came about. And even that was a replay of what happened with COBOL and very early "fourth generation" languages (like MANTIS) from a decade before that!

Those tiny fractions of people matter too. I understand that it's a challenge for the bootcamp to provide, but put yourself on the other side and suddenly you're affected by this dilemma on a daily basis. This is a one-off for the bootcamp.

How do you even formulate the policy? Sure, you can ban/annotate the ads that are specifically about Clinton or Trump, but where do you draw the line?

The fascinating thing about these ads is that most of them plucked on the political strings of the audience indirectly.

+1 for Ramda -- I've been using it for around 2 years now and once you get comfortable with how to compose it's various functions (and some of your own) it's super powerful. Might not be the best choice if your team is allergic to FP though, some people have a difficult time wrapping their head around it (or just getting used to the syntax). I've gone out of my way to document everything thoroughly knowing people who are mostly unfamiliar with FP will be looking at it though, and that's kept everyone happy.
What's interesting is who they targeted - they targeted right wing patriotic movements as well as left wing gay rights groups and minorities who may feel disenfranchised like Muslims and blacks. It's as if they looked at America's very polarized and heated political environment and saw it as an opportunity to create division.
One of Perl 5’s big flaws was not having an object system in the language. Different people wrote different modules on CPAN, which was deservedly popular in those days, but it often meant you’d have to kludge interfaces between multiple third party systems and other things people hacked together.

That and the syntax were why I added Perl to my bash policy that any program big enough to require scrolling would be ported to Python. Usually the richer standard library also meant that the new version ended up considerably smaller, too.

Can it work in a box? Does it work with a Fox?
The current issue of The New Yorker also covers the publication of Zora Neale Hurston's _Barracoon_[1], and what I found most interesting was that Mr. Kossola was not the last survivor of that slave ship.

> “Oh!” she exclaimed toward the end [of a letter to Langston Hughes], “almost forgot”: she had found another survivor of the Clotilda living on the Tombigbee River, two hundred miles north of Africatown. The woman was older than Kossola, and, according to Hurston, a better storyteller. But there can’t be two lasts or more than one only, so Hurston, perhaps believing that Kossola’s story would be more valuable if people thought it was unique, told Hughes that she planned to keep this other survivor secret: “No one will ever know about her but us.”

> Tragically, that proved true. Abandoning her training by Boas, and ignoring the dictates of both honesty and history, Hurston forsook the opportunity to record the story of another survivor. Later scholars have determined that the person Hurston “almost forgot” was most likely a woman named Allie Beren, but no film footage records her face, no known photographs document her home, no oral histories capture her memories.

The loss of Ms. Beren's story is tragic; that its loss occurred through Hurston's intentional neglect is infuriating.

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albon is a light-weight book with a genre of life-advice(I would not use the word self-help here). I think it would suit you.
There's no description of what's actually being tested but you can find it in the formulas.js file: https://github.com/dg92/Performance-analysis-es6/blob/master...

Even on one of the first lines, there was already a mistake with how reduce is called:

let avg = 0;
console.time('js reduce');
avg = posts.reduce(p => avg+= (+p.downvotes+ +p.upvotes+ +p.commentCount)/3,0);
avg = avg/posts.length;
console.timeEnd('js reduce')

The way he's using it makes it no different from a forEach. It should be
`posts.reduce((p, accumulation) => accumulation + blah, 0)` instead.

Also the timing isn't very sophisticated. Doing microbenchmarking right is basically black magic but the mistakes he's making are really basic (only running each version of the code once, not preventing dead code elimination, etc). Someone mentioned elsewhere that the timing for the large case is faster than the small and my guess is that the entire calculation got JIT'd out since it's unused.
> Really, people in AU don't pay 14$ per kWh making 14$ per MWh meaningless.

Agreed that consumers don't pay wholesale pricing - but disagreed it's meaningless. Consumers do (of course) end up paying an amount that includes the amortised cost of wholesale power over the course of their contract.

Additionally, there are a range of incentives that result from these kinds of significant, if ephemeral, variations in wholesale pricing. Some of these incentives are bad for consumer, planet, etc.

> They are really paying to keep generating capacity online not for actual power. A backup generator that's never used costs infinite dollars per W, that does not make it useless.

A backup generator that's never used actually is useless.
A human might average 100W per hour...

This seems like the wrong unit to use.

[EDIT:] I mean that power is already a "per time period" measure; there's no reason to say "joules per second per hour".
how are these any different than the standard appeal to emotion arguments that groups make in good faith? e.g., why is an ad trying to raise awareness about black lives matter from russia any different than an ad trying to raise awareness about black lives matter from black lives matter?

Two others that look like bugs:

1. The CPU does a buffer overflow when reading the array of bits used to determine IO permission for instructions like "in" and "out". Every OS which supports the feature has to add an extra byte of 0xff beyond the end of the array.

2. Returning from a 32-bit OS to a 16-bit process will only update the low 16 bits of the stack pointer. The upper 16 bits can still be read, leaking info about the kernel stack. Linux has a complicated work-around called espfix.

The problem with that is, there are fewer people capable of attacking their countermeasures and so they don't get a strong test before being deployed. I'll always remember Christopher Tarnovsky's talks at DEFCON.

I've worked at several companies and I've never really seen culture fit used in the way that you're describing.

Human civilization originated about 10,000 years ago (more or less).

The oldest surviving human writings date back to about 5000 years ago.

Ptolemy lived about 2000 years ago.

Copernicus lived about 500 years ago.

Newton published Principia 331 years ago.

Darwin published Origin of Species 159 years ago.

The Apple II was introduced 41 years ago.

The Aspect experiment (the first experimental test of Bell's theorem) took place 36 years ago.

I would go farther and say that rates are uncorrelated to skill. Like actually zero.

Rates have much more to do with how in-demand the provider is relative to their ability to deliver. And a big part of "in-demand" has to do with how you market yourself, the quality of your network, and other non-work product factors.

Some of the ads I was reading were would take extreme stances that make the other side get a distorted view of a group. I saw an LGBT ad from Russia that suggested we make it illegal for heterosexuals to adopt. This would do damage to said movements in that people will ignore their legitimate messages as well when them deem them extremists.
Playing devil's advocate, it's possible that someone winds up getting a PhD or publishing crypto research after finding out that they really like doing math, after initially choosing it with the intent to teach.

I agree, and I'd also point to women becoming full members of society, as individuals, citizens, and workers, after thousands of years of human history (though with much work remaining).

But let's also remember that fixing an evil eventually means that we are committing an evil repeatedly in the interim. Generations of African-Americans lived and died under slavery and segregation; that it was stopped eventually did them no good, and more generations continue to face discrimination right now. It's similar to when a person is freed after decades of imprisonment for an unjust conviction: It's better than leaving them in prison, but a great evil was committed.

MLK put it well:[0]

It certainly can be. At its core, the term basically means oen of three things:

1. We don't like you and we don't know why

Or

2. We don't like you and don't want to tell you why because the reason is against their law/might lead to a lawsuit.

Or finally:

3. We don't like you but want to sugar coat it a bit because we don't want to make you extremely annoyed/upset.

In some cases, that can really be a codeword for discrimination, since telling someone they're not hired because of their race/gender/age/nationality/whatever is against the law. But in other cases, it can often just be that the company has one way of working/prefers one environment and the candidate has another. If someone just doesn't get along with the people already at the company, well that's not necessarily discrimination if they don't get hired by that company.

So yeah, it depends really.

Quite so. I toyed with it early on and fairly quickly lost interest. I only came to truly despise it back in 2013 when I was having a conversation about potential employment with $company_who_shall_remain_nameless_but_whose_employees_all_seem_strangely_listless and the person I was talking to said I'd need to share my Klout metrics because "that's what it's all about".
