Good advice, but honestly I disagree regarding LinkedIn, it's a waste of time. The job listings are junk in my experience. It's for HR to pointlessly spam people.
But German company selling to US customers can, right? Does that mean the company needs to defend itself on US court?
Needless to say, the government has committed to it's role:

1) the expert won't be named, "to protect his children", I kid you not, that's the reason stated

2) he evaluated all reports that decided if children would be "placed" (kidnapped by the authorities, and placed). None of these reports are being called into question.

3) "there is no sign that the Norwegian authorities are planning any general review of cases the convicted expert was involved in – or that they believe his disgrace has any wider implications for the system."

4) "the Board of Health Supervision, the body which has now withdrawn his licence, said it was not planning to investigate his professional practice. It says there is no information that the convicted expert had committed any crimes in his work, or any medical malpractice."

5) "One journalist has calculated, however, that children with a foreign mother are four times more likely than other children in Norway to be forcibly taken from their families." ... the head of the Child expert commission explains: Katrin Koch says: “Maybe the level for ‘good enough’ in Norway is different from other countries.”

6) Needless to say, for the person caught abusing child porn for 20 years ... "She and other parents who’ve lost children are also surprised by a family court decision that the disgraced expert can keep custody of his own young children."

because ...

"there is no evidence to suggest that people who download child pornography are more likely than anyone else to commit other offences against children."

(but apparently a neighbor reporting you "smacked" your children ONCE is enough to take away an immigrants' children)

7) let's not even mention the question for redress for anyone harmed by this person ...

They're not even allowed to know his name !

The idea is not a deterrent. The idea is if someone spends most of their life in prison they are not going to be able to commit crimes outside.

Effective or not, the reasoning is fairly straightforward.
I was once walking down the street in the middle of the day. There were 3 young men very cheerful and little bit drunk walking towards me. As I was preparing to pass them, bit worried if I'll have any trouble with them one of them in drunken cordiality looked at me and opened arms for a hug. We briefly hugged smiled and continue going our separate ways. Experience was very weird but pleasent. I think bit of positive human contact with no strings attached is missing from my usual daily life.
AMP is terrible and it is ruining the web for desktop users. I frequently get linked to AMP pages while on my desktop, and have never come across one that provides a link to the non-AMP version of the page and often the URL to the non-AMP version cannot be derived from the AMP URL.

What's wrong with using CSS media queries to have a responsive design? Or if you absolutely need a separate mobile site for some reason, at least give a link back to the full desktop version of the page..

I get that AMP is supposed to help optimize page loading for mobile devices, but for most sites I don't think it is necessary to go to the extremes of AMP in 2018. Most places in the world have decent enough internet speeds and mobile data allowances that pages do not need to be super tiny all the time.
Weird. I’ve always done ‘y’ for archive.

I am from EU and have similar attitude, I mean if child would be hurt it would start to cry, if it ain't really hurt they just expect from parent what to do - I just say to my child "it's nothing" and it continue playing, if it hurts a bit child call me to blow it without crying and cry really only when has reason to cry. Then I see other children who just fall down, nothing serious, they seem fine but their mother arrives saying oh you poor thing, did you hurt yourself etc pushing and pushing child to start crying making drama out of nothing. It's basic psychology child repeat reaction after parents, if you make it big thing child will make it big thing too.

Sadly I can't say this would be really national thing because I see way too many people with approach I don't agree with. But you can usually see difference between more laid back fathers and stressed mothers and also overprotective grandparents (which ain't really bad considering their physical abilities, but sadly despite being overprotective they just don't realize some real dangers like my mother thinking when it's 33C in shadow and i prefer to stay in AC place with my child instead of baking outside).

Brief note on the Turing Test
The basis for my arguments are from English law. Who is guilty of what has been fine tuned over centuries. It's not enough that something bad happened. There must be either intent to harm or gross negligence.

The modern trend both in law and society of statutory offenses and ex post facto "something bad happened so let's see what we can charge him with" is something I find deeply disturbing. I find the original articles proposals as yet another step upon that road.

Our forefathers accepted the universe was unpredictable. We seem to feel we have enough grasp now that if bad things happen someone must be to blame.

There are other methods, no doubt. But last time I was involved with the field, software verification was still an experimental thing, that kind of worked in some niche cases, while SAT based verification was applied to every new arithmetic hardware design. Not to disregard other methods, but I'd say SAT still qualifies as being _the_ component.

Yeah, I agree, except "relevant to everyone" is not accurate enough, I think. It should be "relevant to reaching the sprint goal", because it can be relevant to everyone on the team but completely irrelevant in relation to the sprint goal.

Our stand-ups are strictly about stuff relating to the sprint goal and hence the success of the team in the sprint. So the 3 points are all suffixed with "... to help the team meet the sprint goal". Sometimes we'll spend 3 minutes on our individual updates and 10 minutes on discussing an issue brought up in point 3 because it affects the whole team and threatens the sprint. Sometimes stand-up is over in just 3 minutes because there's nothing new and no issues.

The real-time feedback at stand-ups is super important, IMO. When doing point 2 from your list, there may be other team mates with valuable input. E.g. if someone is planning on working on X and someone else have worked on something related to that, then they may know of some gotchas and other stuff to be aware of, where they can simply interject that they should maybe talk a little about that after stand-up. We do that in my team all the time and it's saved us countless hours because we managed to catch problems long before they became actual problems and a a topic for point 3.
For the most part, I think Linux has moved from a thousand cuts to just a hundred or so and those hundred will persist. A Fedora installation covers alot of the hardware out there, but there will always be new machines where support is incomplete (Surface, MacBook, etc.)

It's tempting to compare Linux with MacOS, but also (in my opinion) unfair. Apple appears to be making conscious decisions about what goes in their machines and not simply picking the cheapest components. I think Windows is closer to a fair comparison (they have to try and support everything out there) I have had no more hassle under Linux than I've had with Windows.
Anecdotes are weak as data. One-off instructions are good, and presumably repeatable.

Lol yeah. I was looking up similar stores and nothing popped up. Thanks for the correction/knowledge.
I use Windows 10 exclusively at home and it's indeed pretty good but there are unfortunately a few things that would stop me at work:

* There's now a major upgrade every six months and Microsoft still hasn't figured out how to make the process reliable.

* Chocolatey is good but the available packages are sometimes lacking. Linux distros have always been miles ahead in this regard, and nowadays with snap I can even find third party software that wasn't packaged before.
Chinese construction leverages concrete by a fairly unskilled work force. To make up for the safety problems with that, they overbuild a lot, so precision isn't very necessary, but the building will deteriorate a lot faster without much more maintenance. So a newish building in China that is only a few years old will often feel much older than that, but at least it won't fall down.

Similar construction is utilized by India, and exported to other countries that utilize Indian construction labor (Singapore, Dubai, ...). Really it is just a trade off that soaks up cheap labor, which is very much in these country's best interest ATM.

The video ends saying that trying to fit a 4D cube in a 4D hole is like a child playing with toy blocks. Hypothetically, if a child was raised with regular VR simulations that allowed the child to manipulate 4D objects, would their brain "learn" it and in a way unlock the 4th dimension?

This does a hemisphere but doesn’t map lng and lat. Gives an example of the kind of maths involved. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1334241/interpolate...

It’s not a simple linear x0, y0, z0 -> x1, y1, z1 because you kind of want an animation like a square blanket is wrapping around a ball, stretching the right amount in different places such that it becomes a sphere.

I tried to find a single magical equation that would give a x0, y0, 0 -> x1, y1, z1 based on param t that goes from 0 - 1. I’m sure there exists one but I tried all sorts of fancy math I knew for a day or two and still had major trouble writing it down as a single equation function.

Then I thought about it in a different way after I ate a fruit and realized I need an orange analogy. What if we cut slices of orange. The ends are crescent shapes. Now it’s a matter of animating the crescents into rectangular strips where the pointy ends stretches but the middle part remains the same.

Since in computer graphics, a sphere isn’t really a true sphere, but an approximation with triangles the strip analogy works well. We just need to animate the ends of triangles.

The gotcha is the pointy end of sphere expands from 0 to length of mercerator projection (flat square) so they cut a tiny bit of the top and bottom otherwise you have infinite stretching at the end

So you have three little functions. For an x,y in a square you figure out what slice they go into and what side of the slice. The further to the poles, the more you squeeze towards the center, so you get something like this https://blenderartists.org/t/producing-a-12-petal-gores-from...

Then you have a blanket wrapping function I.e morphing a line into circle and that’s a line -> arc -> circle animation. That’s not too hard. The arc of a very large circle is almost flat. So you divide the line into two and animate the left and right segments into two hemicircle arcs that then form a proper circle. Kind of like curving the lines from the end to bend it into a circle.

Now longitudes and latitudes both go through this line to circle animation. To get the z, we take the x arc position, the y arc position, the point on crescent strip and we do matrix rotate transforms to get final x,y,z

So rather than it being one single equation (which i’m guessing is possible using super crazy maths), we take a piecemeal approach and animate lots of little segments that add up as a plane to sphere animation using simpler maths and matrix transforms.
Whats interesting as well is that Japanese culture is very traditonal. The cultural mindset to not adopt technology was there in the past. One example that comes to mind is Japanese houdewives and dishwashers.

The reason for this is they take great pride in their housewife role, and dishwashers take away that.

This might no longer be true but according to articles Ive read it was from year 2000 to 2012 when i first heard about it.

Meanwhile in America this stigma never was as prevalent as in Japan during the same timeframe

I'm not sure. Your vision looks oddly alien to me. It is human to make accidental mistakes, be tempted to break rules and similar. Half of our folklore is about praising deception, playing around the rules, outsmarting or outright cheating. I don't mean those are good things (they're generally not), but those are part of the human nature. Please don't take this personally, but the ideal world of your description would be boring and... I think "sterile" is the word. Not like this is inherently good or bad (I can see both aspects I think) - just alien.

It can be a bit of a rabbit hole. I wasn't happy with any of the window managers or desktop environments for Linux so I wrote my own. I didn't like the way any of them handled multiple monitors, but it ends up being more than a multi day project. I still don't have what I want, so now I'm trying to find a way to get rid of X or at least fix XRandR, because it doesn't support multiple GPU's the way I would like (Wayland is not a solution either).

>UI is hard

How many people are actually putting effort into their UIs?
How many people do usability tests? I know Microsoft has done them before, but what about Slack? There are a lot of complaints here about their UI. I'm sure not many free software projects do usability tests.

You can't just slap things together and hope for the best, you need to have tests, and you need to run the tests again when you make changes. We've already learned this with the software itself.

I've been reading "Designing User Interfaces for Software" by Joseph Dumas from 1988. It enumerates common usability issues at the time, but many of them are still common. Inscrutable error messages, inconsistent terminology, unexpected interactions, the list goes on. These are solvable problems by they require a departure from "worse is better".

I'm not sure that UI is hard, it seems like it just requires effort to be put forth.

A sentence has always a correcting, an deterring, a protecting and a vengeance component. (Not very educated on law though. That's what I learned in my mandatory philosophy of law class as an undergrad long ago.)
I agree with the article in that designers can be too focused on the shiny and non-functional aspects of interfaces.

Personally I would treat design as being purely about function and anything superficial is about aesthetics.

But I think the author is throwing the baby out with the bathwater by wanting to restrict all animations. Fast, subtle animations, especially in the form of transitions between states/screens are extremely important for keeping the user informed about where they are in the context of the system.
So as long as it is legal, everything is ethical for a business? This isn't meant to be a snarky comeback, I just really don't understand your point of view. If a business could legally get away with selling guns to an obvious terrorist organization, should they?

This is an interesting read

While profiting off inmates may seem predatory to some extent, it does offer a service that was not there before the dotcom age.

When we look at prison communication back in the day, it was through locally wired telephone systems. The loved one or family member had to physically be present to speak to the person, but with technology something like an ekiosk (essentially the same types you see at newer airports, olive garden, etc), this does not have to be the case. You can be halfway across the world and still have more than just a phone call with someone who is incarcerated using the internet.

Prison phones are a commodity but now it seems to be legalized in a sense with this type of kiosk gateway for buying news, watching TV shows, etc.

I've done a bit of work with prisons before, the restrictions for equipment inside of it are absurd. Everything is considered a weapon in prison. I can only imagine the amount of censorship involved with this gateway though, its like bigbrother 1984

Pournelle I always hated, because his column was soooo loooong and rambling, and it was inevitably an advertorial for some super-expensive not particularly interesting product he got for nothing and then received exemplary support for, usually directly from the CEO. And then, just as inevitably, there would be a prominent mention of his next and/or last books.

Considering how much money Byte made from ads, I suspect Pournelle was incredibly well paid for his efforts - in addition to all that free hardware.
