> we can absolutely make a case for "ripping families apart"

I don't see how that isn't a suggestion of a course of action -- one that that is a blatant misuse of a study (with small effects only measured over a small time period) toward ideological ends, i.e. supporting the seizure of children of disadvantaged parents.

Moreover, I refuse to have an evidence-based discussion about whether certain people deserve human rights. That shifts the Overton window to present such ideas as acceptable, when in a civilized society they should not be.
You misunderstand. It was my way of saying. I didn't necessarily achieve any milestones but I made it another month at least.

> I think it's way more complicated than this sort of snark makes it out to be

Well of course. Snark is just snark -- it's hardly intended as a supported argument. It's a chuckle & wink to the like-minded.
Well, yeah, it was mostly producing non-aloof and well-managed bureaucrats (and dealing with similar problems in the people to whom they hand off kids), but at that point you've created a solution that still involves forcible separation. You might as well try to address the problems motivating separation, since you you've posed a similarly difficult problem as a partial mitigation.
Please tell me you’re joking.

West Virginia is precisely an example of only the wealthy enjoying nature.

The wealthy retreat to Greenbrier or go skiing at Snowshoe Mountain.

All the while, the working class turn to nature to build squatter camp in the summer to pinch and save for winter shelter since the mines went out of business. In many valleys (not the wealthy ones), nature cannot even provide decent water, the result of contamination from modern top chop mining (by the wealthy). Things have only deteriorated recently, unless you consider not dying young of black lung disease “enjoying nature”.

I wonder if Linux could be hacked/tweaked to do something like that. If you replaced init with your own program and had exactly 1 process going on your machine, there'd be no scheduling.
> That Google took a stand showed they valued freedom of speech above their bottom line,...

And now their bottom line is getting closer to their top line so they re-evaluate these sorts of decisions. From an economics point of view it gives you a nice concrete way to evaluate how how much they value their principles relative to their profitability. Unfortunately you need access to some additional detail which you can't get from outside sources to put an actual number to it.
"Worth it" is subjective; it doesn't necessarily have to be about turning a big profit. In fact if it's a nonprofit, then the goal could be to just help under-served communities, and it seems like it could have a positive enough impact to attract some angel investors
This post is great. Kudos to the author for writing this up; it helped me learn about some things I knew the dynamic linker had some way of doing but I didn't have name for. One question:

> In contrast, on Darwin, the (somewhat) complete path to the library installation, known as that library's install name, is used. This has presumably been done that way in order to prevent dylib hijacking, an attack where a malicious dylib gets placed in the library search path before the real one, which allows the malicious dylib to execute arbitrary code on the behalf of the executable that got tricked into loading it.

Couldn't you just get around this by running the application in a fake root?
Director of Full-Stack sounds very awkward, you should think of a better title like Engineering Director or Director of Full-Stack Development.
Not sure what you mean that you are on a look out for talent, if there is no easy and efficient way to get through to you. You may want to think that you get what you need, but believe it or not -- best of the best almost never end up at the big companies.
This is pretty silly. If a TOTP secret had value outside of a single application/database, this would be worth thinking about. But they do not; they are a binding between a device and a particular application. If either the app or the device are compromised, so is the relationship, as is (most likely) all the data you were trying to protect anyways.
Hi, googler opposed to Maven here. I found out about this today, just like you. Fuck right off with your assumptions.

The forest is still composed by trees.

You are technically right, of course, but if humans were rational creatures we would have acted on climate change when the evidence was presented to the world.
This is why infinitely scaling pay-as-you-go cloud services terrify me.

I refuse to use a service like this unless it gives me the ability to automatically cap costs and alert me when thresholds are met.

All it takes is a rogue line of code in an endless loop or something, and you are bankrupt.

Their site seems pretty basic. I'm struggling to understand why they couldn't just run it with something like Postgres for less than $100 a month on AWS?
"but then try to tackle something like integrations or BI tools. The complexity of both of those is massive and there are great open source efforts already out there."

I would love to hear your suggestion for a great open source BI tool. We tried Superset and Metabase but both didn't came close to what we could do with Looker. That is why we're giving Meltano Analyze a shot.

With uber starting to do stuff like upfront fares and uber pool, it's pretty much over with. I've seen a LOT of new yorker trends over the past two decades, and I can safely claim that Uber has reached an indispensable point for the average upper class new yorker.

The last linchpin imo for uber will be something like uber pool with better dedicated routes. Like a bus, but without all the people that ride the bus. That will be awesome.

Well let’s take me. Stay at home parenting... assumes I make enough money to cover her, the child, and her retirement, and medical. Which is 70-80k that she is providing right now. So We either take an 80k hit or 30k hit.

It’s pretty simple these days. I’m pushing a household income of close to 200k and I haven’t been on vacation in 3 years.

I could make a shitload sure, drop the wife, move into a studio and eat ramen.

>This works everywhere in the world, there is nothing endemic to Russia in this strategy.

Yeah right, no[1].

My family moved to the US from Ukraine when I was 16, and I've been keeping tabs on the politics and media over there.

So no, you can't compare US media and Russian media. Just because 1 and 10 are both positive numbers, it doesn't mean they are close if you consider the interval [0, 10].

You know, from casual mentions that Russia is "the only country that can turn America into radioactive dust"[2] on prime-time TV news to, well, everything else - you just don't get this stuff here. (And please don't object if you haven't watched Russian TV in Russian! You don't have a point of reference to compare to!).

The US media has taken a large step towards Russian-style vitriol with Trump's campaign, which is when I started to suspect a Russian connection. In my opinion, that has been the largest (and, sadly, nearly irreversible) impact on this country - shaping (or, rather, destroying) the discourse.

To my surprise, many others have noticed it, and written about in major publications and blogs [3][4][5][6][7] - and yet it still remains largely under the radar in discussions about Russian influence.

Well, the wealthy get to take time off of work to go camping and hiking, and the poor people get to dynamite the hills their ancestors settled. Surely they're equivalent.
I can't agree more here. So far Whatsapp and Instagram hasn't been interfered with too much by Facebook, aside from FB completely turning off Instagram API and forcing everyone to upgrade to the IG Graph API way ahead of the deprecation schedule.

API support for Instagram DMs is also something that's been long requested for, but ever since FB bought Instagram, there hasn't been any work on the API side. Sometimes I wonder if Instagram would have been better off as its own platform free from the crutches of Facebook.

While I'm hoping that it'll stay that way, it's only a matter of time before core Facebook starts to go the way of Myspace and they realize that IG/Whatsapp is the future.

The lectures are good but I think the book is really unparalleled in it's original format. It stresses building the intuitive sense of deep structure, which I think other formats would have difficulty communicating.

I personally thought the biggest barrier was the mundane, so I tried to write up some tips, test cases and helpful utilities for doing SICP ( https://github.com/zv/SICP-guile ).
Yeah, I'm not even sure we can agree on the child labor one anymore.

I think the intent here was to stop an application from having access to all browser traffic for a purpose by bending the rules of system API (namely, that you should be using this to make a VPN).

I share _wmd's concerns here. The _last_ thing I want is to be "contacted by brands" on Signal. And while I know I can manage _my_ experience with Signal, I don't want Signal to become a place where my friends avoid because it turns into a cesspit of "brand engagement" like so many other services...

Pivotal | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin | Locations worldwide | ONSITE

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Denver, Palo Alto, Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney (pivotal.io/locations) and more. We have two main divisions: Pivotal Labs and R&D.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are rigorously agile. We pair program and TDD every line of code outside-in. Our product managers are focus on value and validation, our designers keep the user foremost in our minds. The goal is to teach the teachers. Our engineers pair with client engineers, often we pair designers and product managers as well. We have a growing data science practice. More broadly our services division includes field, data science, educators, app replatformers, even I lose track.

Not many people get to transform how people think and work. Why not you?

-- R&D is a big tent these days, encompassing two major cloud platforms (Pivotal Application Service & Pivotal Container Service), Pivotal Tracker, Spring Framework, Greenplum, Apache HAWQ (incubating), Gemfire / Apache Geode, BOSH and Concourse. We're adding Pivotal Function Service this year. We dogfood the cutting edge of our technology on our own commercial cloud, Pivotal Web Services, run by our awesome CloudOps team. We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project and we're a platinum CNCF member with rapidly-growing contributions to the k8s ecosystem. There is a lot happening right now and there are greenfield platform opportunities.

Not many people get to work on such systems. Why not you?

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. You'll work with competent people, kind people and go home at the same time every day. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

-- Applying

To see open jobs, go to pivotal.io/careers. To apply, please go to my referral link: https://grnh.se/xiy346, or mention my name in the application form.

You can also email me at jchester+hn-aug18@pivotal.io if you have questions. I won't reply to copypasta. I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here. These help me earn a referral bonuses, which I appreciate.
The title suggests that what you need to do is appear to be making an emotional decision but the article seems to suggest that you need to actually make an emotional decision. The difference is between Dukakis quickly saying no and instead revealing all the feelings he'd have before choosing principle over vengeance.
I think it's also because people who feel strongly on an issue want at least to see that you take the issue with the same gravity they do, and the best way to demonstrate that is that you, too, have a visible emotional response to the topic, that it gave you as much internal turmoil to come to the conclusion you did.

The worst thing you can do is to make a weighty issue seem simple or that you regard it tritely. That's what Dukakis did wrong, even though I have every belief he actually did think the issue through.
I also like this free HTML5 (and EPUB3) version as well. It just feels really clean.

Math education from the undergraduate level on is fairly horrible and not communicated well. Just go read the typical calculus textbook and realize that they reference a lot of stuff that no pre-calculus student would typically know, such as proof by induction, lemmas and so on. The textbooks are written to the professors, not the actual students.

Various non-intuitive concepts are handwaved, the foundations skipped over and students then start struggling because they don't understand the foundation of what they are trying to learn. Reading from the textbook is fairly useless and it ends up being used as a problem set source.

I argued to a few math professors about teaching things like calculus with the textbooks referencing concepts that were not actually taught until 5 classes later is a bad idea.

In return I got a shrug of indifference telling me that's just the status quo and the status quo is OK.

Thank god khan academy exists now.
I’m not an expert on top chopping but I’m pretty sure the employment opportunities for local residents are slim to none and that’s the whole point. I went to school in North Carolina where about a 2 mile drive around the side of a mountain would bring us to an overlook of a valley full of peaks that we gradually watched disappear over those 3 years I was there. The machinery was utterly massive. I think the logging crews employed more people than the earth movers but I think logging on those hillsides qualifies as one of the most deadly jobs in America. They made a TV show about it.
I kinda see this happen around me - it's pretty well known that one of the best ways of getting customer service these days is to have a million twitter followers then at-message your complaint to a brand account.

The rise of that, in my opinion, is exactly mapped onto my growing disenchantment with Twitter and while not the only driver, is a big part of why I left.

It seems to me, businesses have made intentional changes to ensure all other forms of contact with them are so poor and ineffectual, that you'll move those discussions into your family/friends public chat spaces because none of the private alternatives work at all.

Which context is that? Dokem thinks that getting to read about a heist is more "interesting" than having historical objects available for public viewing. The only other person who agrees with him offers no reason except that it's "hilarious."

Do you think the historical value doesn't count because it was on public display at a church instead of a museum? Or because it was on loan from a private (royal) collection? Or just that it's okay to rob historical displays as long as it entertains you? I don't understand your argument.
When will the state start to focus on fixing problems instead of regulating solutions?

"unfair" because they are much cheaper for the employer. If they would cost the same, then if would be fair and the employers would really look at the skills, the talent, and what each person brings on the table. I know, it's really just a play of words. And I'm not advocating for more regulations than necessary. But, I would like the companies that choose to hire offshore to be more honest and come out and say, "yes, we are in penny counting game, and we do not care about quality or what we are building as much".

It is common knowledge in law enforcement. In Europe, the larger crime families have traditionally kept caches of valuable art. These jewels will be under someone's floorboards, perhaps for generations.

Something similar happened with lower-ranking German officers towards the end of the war. Art, like gold, transcends boarders and language.
