You are quite simply wrong. When you negotiate severance in an at-will employment agreement, it will involve the same kinds of contractual documents you have to sign as when you are offered severance upon a sudden termination. There are usually documents relating to non-disparagement and possibly enhanced agreements about non-disclosure or non-compete that extend beyond things in the company handbook. They include specific language in which you acknowledge the employer is offering you something of material value, the severance pay, continuation of benefits, etc., in exchange for your agreement to those conditions, and generally also a waiver of ability to make claims for additional compensation.

These are generally legally enforceable, and severance is not merely a discretionary component that is up to the company. It's something you can (generally without that much trouble) actually sue for, similar to unpaid wages, if the company terminates you without paying.

I have never once heard of a company requiring a C-suite executive to get involved for creating these very routine types of severance agreements for regular employees, and I myself have negotiated severance in a standard at-will employment agreement at my three most recent jobs.

Web Components means the standards of <template>, Custom Elements, and Shadow DOM. There's an overview here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components

Polymer has always been a set of helpers for making Web Components. There are others like SkateJS and Stencil.

Vue is not normally Web Components, but they have an option in CLI 3 to compile to Web Components.

React and React native have basically nothing to do with Web Components, though React can use Web Components because Web Components are just HTML elements.
I'd argue that psychedelics aren't a no-effort solution at all. These experiences are at times very emotionally draining and uncomfortably introspective. The integration period then requires a further amount of the above. The interesting thing is, a guided experience tends to leads to the habits you listed above. In short, the experience can be seen as a catalysts to a maintainable lifestyle which facilitates recovery, not as the mode of recovery in itself.
"Around a quarter of the population is Albanian" - is this also your educated guess, or something you "read" online?

The FACT is that the last Census was done in 2002.
According to conservative estimates pulled from the Health Ministry, there are less than 20% of Albanians currently residing on the territory of Macedonia.

And a little free lesson in history for you:
The Slavs you are referring to, in the 6th century did in fact invade and conquer present day Macedonia and whole of Greece, all the way down to Peloponnesus.
Byzantine historians stated that the Macedonians did not disappear with the Slavic invasion but continued to exist.
In the 10th century Salonica is described as the "largest city of the Macedonians".
We already did :)

Another way to look at it is that what matters is the pioneering work that SpaceX has actually accomplished (and stands to accomplish) that none of their competitors has (primarily, drastically lowering the cost of reaching space while achieving high and increasing launch rates).

> What matters is that Tesla plans to bring EVs to every household in the future, not that it’s shipped about the same number of EVs as Nissan to date?

Further down someone points out a bank banned the purchase of guns. Let me be clear that I have no love of americas relationship with firearms. But to decide that a CC can't be used to make an otherwise legal purchase is the beginning of a bad thing. As we become more cashless banks need to be more neutral in their dealings.

> Are centralized servers, financial institutions and surveillance all required components of the anonymous, decentralized, peer-to-peer web?

Servers and financial institutions will never go away, no matter how hard we try. I'm hoping that we can make surveillance go away by sharing much less data with organisations who rely on surveillance to survive.

Hashbase is not "centralized" in the sense that you are always free to choose a different provider of its hosting services. You can host your own Hashbase: https://github.com/beakerbrowser/hashbase

You can even choose multiple providers at once, providing you with resilience in case one of your chosen providers violates your trust, eg. by losing your data or using it to spy on you.

Not really correct. The peninsula consists of two Mexican states: Baja California Sur, and Baja California Norte. The United States dropped the "Alta" from Alta California after the process of defeating Mexico. I consider us all Californians, though, despite the political boundaries.

> Web Components are just HTML elements.

Yup. And you can't use Polymer elements in React because React passes data as attributes whereas Polymer expects properties.

And then there's the issue of event handlers etc. etc. etc.

"Web Components" are now a largely non-intersecting collection of mutually incompatible frameworks and libs: https://custom-elements-everywhere.com

Good luck using Polymer's <custom-element binding="{{a.b}}"> anywhere

I have yet to see an informed discussion about this law anywhere. The "copyright" (if there were such a thing) reform is about regulating two things

- display of StackOverflow, Wikipedia, news, and other (commercial) info content full-text in link previews of search machines and news aggregators and discussion boards

- requirement for file sharing platforms to make an effort to check user uploads for "copyright" infringements.

I understand the latter is to fill a gap where file sharing platforms just shrug-away accusations of large scale copyright infringement by their users, yet receive all the economic benefit. Obviously, scanning upload content for infringement isn't technically feasible without also requiring publishers to somehow register content/hashes to claim commercial rights, and mechanisms in place for resolving disputes, etc. The law text as it is written seems also too broadly applicable. Because of these flaws, the content filtering part should maybe be unbundled into a separate law after further discussion.

I also believe the Web can come up with technical superior, more practical solutions. For example, using HTML metadata to tag content, embedding and linking content from an origin site, and/or exposing snippets as public syndication feeds. In fact, these mechanisms have been in place for such a long time that they might've been forgotten already.

I don't have a definite opinion yet. I guess if one accepts the EU is mainly an institution concerned with common economic market conditions, it should strive to make the Web work better for content creators than it is now with very few ad networks raking in cash. OTOH, link preview and content scanning laws are obviously lobbied for by big media (the former by German newspapers as it seems, the latter supposedly by Hollywood and music publishers).
> The only real missing piece is the concept of props over attributes

Plenty of HTML templating languages allow for setting properties declaratively. Polymer, lit-html, Vue, Angular, all do.

For instance, in lit-extended (an extension of core lit-html), properties are set by default, attributes have a '$' suffix, and event handlers have an 'on-' prefix:

html`
<my-element
aProp=${foo}
an-attribute$="${}"
on-click=${clickHandler}>
</my-element>

I don't think most people care about physical access exploits. If you did you would have some specialized software which would remotely wipe it upon being tampering with. Common sense.

What really matters security wise is who is this security for? If it's for state actors(vault7) then it's useless. It's known that copperheados doesn't do much to defend against them as the phones are exploited on a hardware level. All this extra security is pointless as the people you are most worried about, has access.

I wrote a Blockchain to learn the tech. I now have a pretty good understanding. Now that I get it I keep looking for legitimate reasons to use it and frankly I haven’t found many. Eliminating property title insurance via an immutable set of property ownership records/txns is one that seems reasonable. It fits because the txn volume is low. Many “forced” uses would be better served by more standard architectures.
P = V * I [1], and V = I * R [2], so P = I^2 * R.

So to minimize power loss in the cables, you want to minimize the current. In order to transfer the same amount of power, you need to increase the voltage.

Maybe the previously-Alta California should follow the Mexican example and split into separate north and south states? That would fix issues with federal political representation, at least.
That state was named in the 1500s by Spanish explorers. If it was a political name at all, it was probably in reference to Aztlan and Mexican politics.
I think the question is, what happens when we move away from this usefulness in physics? I didn't follow the paper, but some way of backdooring quantum uncertainty into classical physics might be useful, too
Not the greatest analogy, considering both the greek region and the republic were both part of ancient kingdom of Macedonia, and neither modern instance has (much of) any continuity link to ancient Macedonia.

I was there last year. It's a great country to visit as a tourist. There are much political issues still at large there. With Greece, there's that dispute over who has 'the right' to Macedonia. IMO, neither. There was no Greece and there was no (republic) Macedonia back then. There's an argument about language I've heard, that is that Macedonians spoke Greek. Could be, but things change. It's not like local populace disappeared when Slavs rode in. History is complex, yo and it's in no ones interest to bicker over it.
Hey Wes, long time no chat (I'm this guy: http://wmf.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$5703).

What timeframe are we talking about here? Maybe I'm late to the party, but even for "special interest" Linux in the late 90s was already kind of well-known compared to the BSDs. (I was in school back then, no internet, and only learned about Linux from some folks already studying computer science).
And I'm just using that point of data because when I came in contact with Linux there wasn't really much about FreeBSD, so either that was my bubble or it was technically competitive but had already lost the popularity contest.
I wasn't aware you needed full XCode. That is a burden.

You can also brew cask install macvim and symlink the console exe from within the .app bundle (which is essentially what the regular brew formula does as well).
Exactly. You're providing a service. The digital goods, once produced, can be replicated infinitely at extremely low costs. Nobody can create copies of you or your expertise.

In order to pay for your software development services and turn a profit, the digital goods you produce are made artificially scarce so as to enable their sale. However, that does not change the nature of those goods. Copying them is still trivial.

I'm assuming you have links or evidence to back those claims up. Or are you mistaking this for kids getting swatted[1], because I certainly haven't heard of kids getting in trouble with police for swearing on Xbox live and I feel like that would make national news.

I don't want to be overly pedantic here but Ketamine isn't a psychedelic. Instead it is a dissociative hallucinogen. In that line, Ketamine's mechanism for anti-depression is significantly more pharmacological than a classical psychedelic, which leads to a subjective experience that then leads to an effect.

Nope, sorry, you said all and I know people who voted for Trump and they are the nicest most helpful people around.

I was at WWDC last week chatting with a few folks about this (San Jose had tons of Bird and Lime scooters all over the place). One of the thing that these scooter companies (and deckles bikes) are doing is canalizing short trips. There were a few times when I would have taken an Uber from one place to another, but because the scooters had effectively 0 wait time and were 1/4th the price to cover the same distance in the same time, I opted for the scooters.
My definition of clinical setting certainly includes nature, though I don't think that's required. The important part is professionals that first screen people (weed out people deemed to be high risk for bad episodes) and guides the process. A captain to steer the boat if you will.
Maybe it's perception. I don't view ORM as a tool to make working with a database easier. In fact, it's harder to use but can have real advantages. For example, it would be nice to use raw SQL in our app but we have lots of reporting and data analysis functionality with support for custom grouping, filtering, etc... Composing queries on the fly with an ORM is trivial. On the other hand composing SQL strings or writing out manually the thousands of potential combinations would be very painful and brittle.

I also find ORMs are great for transactional updates where you are only modifying a few entities at a time. They really reduce the amount of boilerplate required (reducing errors) and allow you to use refactoring tools (find usages, etc..) to locate where a particular column is used in the code base.

So to me it's not about making SQL easier - because lets face it you have a complex translation layer there that requires full understanding. Rather it's about capturing those clear benefits.

It's funny you should say that. Bitmain has dealt very poorly with western miners and developers and repeatedly blamed those "misunderstandings" on "cultural gaps". In the short term they don't need to solve this problem, but one day I expect the pitchforks to catch up with them.
I disagree on the third point. It was spam and scams that ruined self-hosted email. Gmail (and other large providers) became the solution to that because the network effects of centralized spam filtering made for an increasingly valuable service to users.

Yeah but the "standard" env is always behind(at least on the Go version) and on top of that you are even more locked in. The only real advantage of the standard environment is that you pay only for what you use. On the "fkexible" environment you must keep at least one instance live all the time. IMHO you should avoid GAE.

Accountability works for procrastination and things that, as you say, can be described as negative habits or character traits. Depression is a completely different beast.

Depression is like I'm sitting on your chest and tell you that breathing is easy and all you need is to do it rhythmically.

Depression is like that day your brain doesn't function properly after not sleeping during the night, but every day for years and regardless how much you sleep.

Depression is not a bad habit, just like the flu is not a warm and fuzzy feeling.

There's not much atmosphere on Mars (approx. 0.6% of Earth's) to get in the way of the sun, so there's not much advantage to beaming down solar energy. You might as well just have solar panels on the rovers themselves, which unsurprisingly is exactly what NASA did.
Yes, and people who are going bankrupt will also have their problems alleviated if they suddenly get a better job. That has nothing to do with whether or not there is a cashflow problem in the first place. I'm rooting for them, but Tesla is certainly in financial trouble.
"Resistance exercise training significantly reduced depressive symptoms among adults regardless of health status, total prescribed volume of RET, or significant improvements in strength. Better-quality randomized clinical trials blinding both allocation and assessment and comparing RET with other empirically supported treatments for depressive symptoms are needed." https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abst...

I can't read the full paper, but it seems like "weightlifting"/"lifting weights" may not have been the only exercise throughout the 33 studies. It also seems like any kind of resistance exercise, regardless of how you did it or how well it worked, made people less depressed. If that's true, you could lift 2-lbs weights for 10 minutes and feel better.
