"Sadly, it's not possible to replicate the pop-up mouse-overs from the "Special Edition" - though I was able to append the "deleted scene" presented in that version. If you want to see that version - or the "Fire BAD!" flash video game where you attempt to extinguish flames on James Hetfield (tragedy + time = humor), you'll have to find the original .SWF files and have a way to play them."
Yeah, we had to wait until our Apple Music subscription expired too.

In general the country switching experience seems pretty sub par: if you had just purchased a year long app subscription (I believe some apps can offer that), your options for changing country would either be to forfeit your purchase by calling up to terminate the subscription, or wait an entire year for it to expire...

Apple Music seems to be the only service that handles uploaded music and syncing well, integrating uploads seamlessly into your library. I think it has an edge with anyone who downloads albums that are too obscure to get licensed to the streaming service or unofficial releases. It probably partly accounts for the popularity of Apple Music with younger hip hop heads who need to integrate mixtapes in their libraries.

Per the article the EU already banned gender discrimination for insurance rates in 2011. Catch up Canada!

I wonder why it is that car insurance charges higher rates to young males(who on average cost more than young females), but medical insurance as far as I can tell is equally priced for young men and young women, even though young women generally have higher health care costs than young men(primarily through childbirth and greater use of health services).

I don't want to be cynical but I imagine if a health care company in the US or Canada actually did start charging more for some class of young women vs young men, it would make international news and lead to new anti-discrimination laws for health insurance

What does that mean? Some companies have no physical presence.
Yes, because the risk factor isn't that you're a young male, it is because you are a dangerous driver, which is correlated with young males. But it also means that there are safe driving young men out there who are subsidizing dangerous female drivers.
This has nothing to do with AI. Men have been charged more for car insurance (at least in America) for many years. I mean, when my brother got his license almost 15 years ago, he was charged more, and so was I when I got mine.
Cross-Platform Language Design – The PhD Thesis Behind Scala.js [pdf]
Men measurably impact the bottom line of insurance companies more. Actuarial math is not 'AI', there's no 'magnification of bias'. The whole point of the calculation is to eliminate bias so that the company makes sound decisions. Please don't generalize things that you haven't made an effort to understand. When you say stuff like this, you're making it harder to fight actual bias in the world, because you make people not take your point seriously.
Intentionally building Chatdog (https://chat.dog) to not require a phone number.
It seems that each time a discrimination is in favor of women, there is no debate about it. It’s a strong hint that the self-named gender equality movement is not what it pretends it is.
The problem isn't that large companies are doing illegal things with taxes and aren't getting caught for tax evasion, it's that they structure arrangements in such a way that are legal but problematic, and as soon as a problematic method of doing business outlawed, a new one is put into place.

Yeah, I see what you did.

"it's because of the insurance!! I swear!!"
No, the equivalent here would be saying "vote for me or my opponent will force a stranger into your house". The ads are lies targeted at people whose xenophobia is stronger than their grip on the facts.
Catch up Canada!

No thanks. We understand that men are more reckless than women and we refuse to needlessly harm our insurance companies.
You can choose your wifi card and antenna setup so I have a big card (500mw) with a large antenna that covers my house easily. Before I got the bigger card and antenna, I had a TP link in bridge mode in a bedroom for extra coverage. That also worked fine.
That isn’t really germane to the grandparent poster’s point.

Feel free to replace his or her shorthand “learning style” with something like “personal preference, past experience, and miscellaneous psychological factors”.

I've been using Google Play Music for years now, although it wasn't my only music app until the Songza acquisition in ~2014, its now become the only thing I listen to, except for the occasional XM radio in the car when I'm bored. The YouTube Red thing seemed useless at first, but I've found myself consuming more YouTube content these days, and while I wouldn't pay for it on its own, as an add on feature its pretty useful.

At this point there is no way I'd go back to listening to music with ads in it, and unless google ruins it, I don't see any reason to even try to switch.

Getting people to vote leave because they don't like some foreigners (Turkey or Syria) is quite literally the definition of xenophobia. This is especially true when Turkey is not even close to joining the EU.
Taxing budget would be akin to penalizing employment. In that a company would be incentivized to decrease spending in your country. Which is why it's more politically palatable to tax profits.

That said, this isn't rocket science. As the article points out, it's simply an unwillingness by the host countries to hold multinationals who utilize tax havens to account.

> It used to be that all of your advertising was public, so it was possible to see what promises are being made, what kind of terminology is being used, etc. etc. In the Facebook era you can hyper-target your ads to only show to a small subsection of people, without anyone knowing what you're saying.

If say, before the 1990s, a national candidate sent out targeted mailers to some little town in flyover country, no one would have ever seen them.

We're in a similar but imo potentially not much worse situation because if anything it's easier to publicize that it happens.

It seems strange to you because the person getting a targeted ad is in the next room over instead of next voting district, but it's the same principle.
Wow, I had no idea they discriminated based on race, that sounds kind of wrong to me. I mean for medical purposes it makes sense, do they also do it for auto insurance, where, in theory, your race does not make a difference?
BTW in the EU it’s illegal, since a EU court sentence of 2012, to use sex or gender as a rating factor in insurance.
Academia is not the same as industry, so total comp is not comparable. Tenure, more work freedom, social prestige are intangibles that would need to be factored into academic pay.
"And since we're wishing each other things, I hope you will realise one day how much your employer is hurting our societies and realise that you were right there helping and defending them."

Sorry, that was a cheap shot on my part, i apologize.

FWIW: I am the type of person who if i felt what you say was true, i would just quit. So i suspect we just have different perspectives on reality here. Which is fine.

I think you also would find i am not in general a fan of corporations and corporate form.
For example: I think LLCs shouldn't exist (They aren't needed to promote innovation), and in general, that corporations exist to serve society and not the other way around. I think that's definitely gone off the rails in the past 100 years or so.

But this thing we are talking about, even looking back with the benefit of hindsight, i would say it was a good thing for society overall.

My employer in general, well, again, I think our perspectives are just different. On what my employer does, it's motivations, etc.
Oh, good point. Let's also recognize that blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes and have violent crimes committed upon them, so we should be charging them extra for health insurance relative to whites.
Yes I know, that's why I said "even though it has nothing to do with AI".
If I could only upvote this more. I still want someone to take signal's protocol and do a BYOK approach. Let me use Keybase or something similar to handle identity management. Additionally, each device (or app instance) gets its own key. Signal and WhatsApp already do encrypted group messages. Treat each of my devices as different "users", who present with the same name.

It's a tractable problem.

(NB: Not necessarily keybase, but they do have a technical solution to the problem in place already.)
Why not?

IIRC, in Canada, its illegal to ask those questions during the application.

Then, when HR is doing their diversity calculations, he boosts their employed woman trans numbers.

Atlassian exits business communciations space, surrenders to Slack
These laws, though well intentioned, seem to sometimes struggle in the modern context.

In this case, President Obama flew over to London in April 2016 and advocated very publicly, that Britain should remain in the EU. This act by a foreign leader was converted into headlines, videos, tweets, etc. which were shared roughly a bajillion times.

President Obama is an extremely popular man. In any list of the world's most popular and influential leaders he ranks in the top 10, probably the top 5. His endorsement, if equated to USD or GBP, would equal roughly several bajillions.

As far as I am aware, existing campaign finance laws do not address this kind of "free media", and that is a problem. Sometimes you need to be able to muster the resources to advocate your position with equal reach to that of your opponent, and that costs money.

I share the sentiment. Sadly it appears as if Spotify is pulling a Snapchat - "We know what's best for our users, their opinions be damned".
But this is something you that they never really had to deal with before. Previously, graphics cards were not really correlated with any kind of market. And sales ramped up and down predictably. They had no reason to put money into being able to quickly ramp up production within a few weeks or a month. And now it’s no surprise that they can’t keep up with the fast paced crypto ups and downs.
Would this advice apply to JavaScript (ES6)? Can anyone speak from experience?

Strange quote.
So the simple solution to this type of manipulation is adding a part to the gender change request that says "I swear under threat of legal penalty that I identify as [gender]". Doesn't hurt trans people and makes abuses of the system like this clear cases of legal fraud.

Am I the only one who sees this as anti-competitive? This is basically collusion - Atlassian agreeing not to compete in chat in return for a payment from Slack. It almost seems like we're intent on making literally every mistake we made with traditional businesses, but with electronic products.
Hipchat took standard IRC, and added some interface fluff, youtube links, and emojis. They achieved great market footprint.

Then Slack starts up later - makes literally the same exact product, and manages to surpass, and eventually subsume Hipchat.

Crazy.

If you are an EU citizen, no. If you are from elsewhere, then yes. But many of these companies have the possibility to get you a visa. The question is if you have very strong credentials, so that a canton (quotas are assigned by canton) gives up one of the allocated visas for you.
And whoosh there goes another option for non-cloud-based enterprise chat.
It won't harm the insurance companies, as it'll be a level playing field, and they'll all have to simply quote new rates that work out for them given the new data they're allowed to consider. The parties harmed will be, on average, women, whose rates will go up, and the beneficiaries will be, on average, men, especially young men, whose rates will come down.

It took me years to break my "Dings and Dents" module addiction. Some weeks I'd even send in multiple orders while telling myself this will be the last time. It was too entertaining trying to figure out why each board didn't pass QA and how they could be fixed using parts from pervious orders.

I learned a lot.
Okay, so 1 out of 5. Is there explanations for the other 4? The other just focus on those countries being poorer.

But 2949 is also there. 2963. 2966-68. 2990. 2991-94. 3018-19. etc...

2926 followed by 2927 is pretty funny.
2966 and 2968 are about what the new borders of the UK would effectively be if Turkey is allowed to join the EU. Regardless of your thoughts on the Middle East, it is clear that there are dangerous people in Iraq. Given that the EU has open borders and markets (for the most part), isn't it a germaine discussion if that supranational entity wants to enlarge its borders to include ports of entry from a somewhat unstable country? I mean... britain wouldn't be the ones policing the border, it would be turkey. Yet, those crossing the border would have some rights to enter and work in Britain, right?

I mean, in the US, the Mexican border is a rather scary place. For a long time, some of the American border towns were the kidnapping capitals of the world mainly due to their proximity to the border. Who you border certainly matters to your country's security.

2924 makes sense to me in the context of the other statistics. It does seem strange to include two countries with such large wage and economic disparities in the same 'federal' system (which is effectively what the EU is).

EDIT: I find your claims of xenophobia even less compelling after I viewed what the British have to say about Spain (bullfighting), Norway (whale hunting), France (unemployment), Portugal (unemployment), etc. Unless you claim that any kind of criticism of an outside country is xenophobia, the Leave campaign seems quite comprehensive in its criticisms of EU member countries (and potential members).
Sure,

When we originally got it running on Android (without the chat view since that component is native in the iOS app) we found that it performed quite poorly due to most of our pages being heavy on data and UI - as well as being very reactive (a typical discord server might have hundreds of permissions, messages and users all changing/updating in real time). React Native is single threaded and while iPhone’s have great single threaded performance, Android phones are more reliant on multiple cores and RN as I understand it mostly can’t take advantage of that.

On higher end Android phones the performance was actually fairly acceptable out of the box, but our user base has a lot of gamers who are running very old Android phones from many years ago - and in those situations the lag was unacceptable. For iOS, most users tend to only last one or two hardware generations behind.

Additionally, at the time React Native for Android had just been released and there were a whole host of other issues at the time - bugs and lack of Android specific components like the Navigator (which have since mostly been ironed out).

Today I think it is possible to build a fast React Native Android application and I would recommend someone starting from scratch do so :). However now the challenge is that we have an existing Native Android app so our users already have a baseline expectation of feature parity and performance. If we switch over we must meet or exceed that bar.
We were using hipchat, worked fine with our custom integrations and workflow. Stopped working when they switched to stride ( had to do with version of jira we are on)
Now that my integrations are all most working again I have to probably look at using mattermost.

My favourite quote from the piece:
“If you have a bunch of self-motivated and smart people and you put them together they’ll produce something incredible. But you can’t minimize the importance of management.

It’s a dirty word. It’s prosaic. It’s not vision. It’s not dream. It’s not technological excellence. But unfortunately, it makes all the difference.” - Joanna Hoffman, Head of marketing at General Magic

Good management in technology environments is akin to tracks for a train/monorail.

Boring: yes, but they provide the 'connective tissue', the velocity and the direction for everyone in the organisation to leverage, the support infrastructure for everyone else to produce great 'stuff' (products, services, outcomes, whatever). They should also build upon years of experience and/or brilliant thinking - which is what tracks do!

Great tech management teams also help (all) staff understand why the tracks are there to begin with: to solve problems for users (relevant to the Andy Hertzfeld 'put the user first' and the Tony Fadell 'understand your audience' quotes).

And yeah, reframing rejections and criticisms (the Marc Porat quote) is great advise for any entrepreneur.
Yes it is. Should the cost of car insurance, health insurance, or life insurance vary based on the measured risk from your skin colour, or height for example?

A “lucky” individual has reduced premiums, while an “unlucky” individual has increased premiums, and neither has any control over it! Comparatively, someone benefits and someone suffers (both are undeserved).

After thinking about it, I want to hear from someone who thinks the opposite to me - that it is perfectly fair for someone to pay more and, thus, someone else to pay less, due to a factor that neither has any choice about.
It took me a while too, they should have put "leave" in quotes or at least capitalized.
