> if you shared the account details with someone, it seems to me difficult to claim that the forum and not the user is the one responsible.

I kinda wanted to make a larger point on how even if someone logs in to your service you don't know who you are talking with and might be going against wishes of owners of the account which would be unethical if you haven't priorly obtained their informed consent to do so.

Here are scenarios under which third parties might try to unethically obtain access to your user's data, perhaps as you described by logging in or via some other means:

1) PC gets hacked and owner loses control over their email. It's easy for a hacker to replace password and log in. You can't blame user for shity state of this industry when it comes to security. You are talking to a hacker.

2) SIM card is cloned via social engineering and passwords changed if email is improperly secured. You are talking to a hacker.

3) People share computers. Persistently logging out from websites on spouse's computer seems shifty. You are talking with a family member.

4) Not all people agree or understand that for some services people shouldn't share accounts. You can't know which pieces of data belong to whom so you can't give it out. It's also unreasonable to demand from all services to require each account to be used by only one person just for the sake of GDPR to be workable. You are talking only to one user.

5) People trade accounts. It's unethical to give data to a new owner if previous owner wasn't aware of what data you store. You are talking only to the newest owner.

6) People can be forced to sign in to their accounts. You are talking with an abuser.

In all these cases I think it isn't ethical to reveal data that couldn't already be accessed by normal means. It seems to me that GDPR, ironically, weakens users' privacy.
Really? It seems that with the advent of Bootstrap and responsive design, website UIs are more consistent and generic than ever before.

Every corporate landing page is a jumbotron/full-width image, followed by three columns of bullshit, followed by a few rows of random glyphicons and more vague nonsense to cross the minimum text SEO threshold, and a footer.

The early internet was a much wilder place. Frames or no frames? Tables for layout or not? Dare we use an imagemap? Fuck it, let's do the whole thing in Flash. It was chaos.

Now, one thing that has also come to pass is websites with straight up cryptic UIs. Buttons no longer have labels. We have hamburgers and hieroglyphs. I think that might be more of a driving frustration.

Garbage review of a garbage book. Not sure why I spent all that time reading something uselessly long.

Calling a language "useless" is shallow and trite. Learning a language, wherever it ranks on the world's popularity list, is about learning a culture, opening new doors, conversing with a people and broadening your mind.

The only way to learn a language properly is to immerse yourself in it. The US-centric model of endless classes and then going off to Europe to party with a bunch of your friends with whom you only converse in English will only set you up for failure. The initial impetus to learn was potentially a romantic one, to learn a foreign language. But your dream was dashed by the actual difficulty and perseverance required to learn.
Can she play outside with other children without adult supervision? Do those children require adult intervention when a problem arises? Can she ride a bike without training wheels? I find these to be far more important skill-sets than being able to read prior to starting school.

I have two children - one going into 3rd grade and the entering kindergarten. Both of them up and outside by 9am playing all day without adult supervision. We can see them from our kitchen in the field and street playing; we are monitoring them.

The difference between the fields of biology and computer science, is that CS is way more abstract. It would be like asking, “what are the ethical implications of math?”

To this end, we need to distinguish computer science (theory) from technology (application) – it is the latter of which has direct effects on society.

And yet, it has no basis in reality. Point out the physics equivalent of multiplying two colors.

Those bands are arbitrary, defined by human color receptors. If we were dogs, would we be arguing that lighting should be defined as {a,b} * {x,y} = {ax,by}? Dogs can only see blue and yellow. So what's special about r,g,b, and why do we mutiply them together?

There's nothing special about them, and it's arbitrary and misleading.

Yeah, I'm with you. Saying a software package with over 300 different options and keeps default defaults that were depreciated years ago is easy to configure really is a stretch. Combine that with it being _very_ finicky about what x509 certs it accepts, requiring a directory of configuration files to set up the network and giving you raw openssl error messages, and I'd say it one of the harder things to I had to configure. IPSec is easier to setup, and by any measure IPSec isn't easy.

OpenVPN still wins over IPSec because it works over so many different transports, and there is only one implementation so IPSec's interoperability issues vanish. It maintains that advantage over WireGuard too.

> It's worked so well the only thing that I'm worried about now is maybe wearing out my knees or something.

Over-training is a thing. Pay attention to whether you are making gains or not (i.e., going longer/faster at the same level of exertion). For me, 6 days a week is ideal. For cycling, you can probably manage 7 days a week if you are putting in 2 "light" days instead (low intensity).

As you've been stationary-cycling for a while, you probably know the difference between "good pain" and "bad pain". "Good pain" is kind of misnomer -- really, if you get lactic acid buildup or something similar and you aren't doing your body significant damage, you can ignore the pain. But "bad pain" (which signals an injury) should not be ignored. Immediately get some rest. With over-training, you can get niggly injuries. If you think it is "good pain" and it doesn't go away in a week, or if it's getting progressively worse, then it could well be over-training. Make sure to have a rest day once a week.

If you still get pain even with a rest day, then look at your setup/form. For cycling, having your knees go out at a weird angle when pushing is a common fault. Concentrate on maintaining a good position on the pedals (usually near the balls of your feed) and having a natural angle for your feet.

But if you aren't getting over-training injuries or injuries cause by poor form, there is no particular reason to worry about wearing out your body. People cycle/walk/jog every day for an hour or two well into old age without problems. The benefits you get will vastly outweigh any problems.
I think in the case mentioned, the implication is that advertisers would be better equipped to target us with ads – which is a fair point.

But why must we burden the theorists with ethics, and not the programmers or companies who bring that theory into the real world?
One thing I liked about Jerry Pournelle was that whenever he reviewed something he usually gave a blow-by-blow description of all of the problems that he ran into and how he worked around them. Some folks gave him grief about this, but I could relate because I often ran into exactly the same problems that he did. Meanwhile other reviewers usually either glossed over this stuff or just ignored it completely, lest they offend the vendor or Microsoft or whoever. This gave unsuspecting users the impression that installing and running this stuff was a piece of cake, when in fact it could be a real nightmare.

If a company have contract in another country there are definitely taxes to be paid in that country. It doesn't mean that some of those taxes can not be claimed back, but the work is effectively done abroad (as opposed to tax domiciliation) and therefore the tax is due in that country according to its laws.

Maybe it's because I'm a rural Michigander, or maybe it's because I'm 35. Whatever the case may be, whenever I read a line such as, "It goes by many names: boot-strapped, solo-founded, self-funded, indie-hackers...etc... and it's pretty hot right now!" I have a visceral reaction. Around here that's just owning a business. No one cares about how it's structured or how it's funded. Trying to quantify your business to others in such ways is so much window dressing.

That being said, the rest of the article was a nice read.
First of all, not anglophone by birth. Second, my Asian friends (mostly Viet and Chinese) also find Japan inscrutable and weird. I've traveled to China multiple time for business and while it's not exactly my favorite place I get pretty easily why folks behave the way they do, I actually noticed that beyond some cosmetic differences the culture is very similar to southern Europe (everything is negotiable, highly transactional relationships based on feigned goodwill...). When I go to China or Korea it just feels like a different part of the world, when I go to Japan it feels like a different planet.
Depends a lot on the type of rice. A couple of rice varieties have a higher glycemic index than pure glucose. A lot of people where I live are diabetic and don't understand why because they don't eat sweets. But they do eat large amounts of jasimine rice and Thai sticky rice; both have GI > 100.

CLIs work well when the universe of commands is small or the user is very familiar with the application. Discoverability suffers, even with man pages. Where a GUI helps is for the casual user who needs help understanding the options. An interface that can allow both styles of interaction has the flexibility to give both kinds of users what they need.
"Multiply colors" in pure physics is ill-defined, but we're talking bout a rendering engine. Engineers are allowed to make approximations whenever they want, and approximations aren't restricted from introducing new concepts/terminology.

The closest thing to "multiply two colors" in physics would be taking a product state:

|ψ⟩ = |ψ1⟩ ⊗ |ψ2⟩

Here, we are expanding a Hilbert space to include both unentangled particles (color == photon).
Wiring the horn to the brake lights was supposed to be a prank. But if the driver doesn't acknowledge that it's happening, the prank backfires on the prankster.
In the case of online discussion in general, and of Twitter especially, there is zero motive to seriously discuss issues or thoughts. All the platforms I've seen (with the possible exception of HN irregularly, but occasionally) encourage those who can come up with the sickest burns, snappiest comebacks, funniest memes, etc. There is near-zero reward for coming up with intelligent, thought-provoking content in general and especially in comments sections (which I'd consider a twitter feed to be identical to a comment section).

I can't tell if this is a cultural issue or a technical problem, but it affects all of them almost universally.

I am proud of those Google employees who've taken a stand against the unethical practices of their employer.

10 years ago I dualbooted OS X 10.4 and Windows on a Thinkpad X60, and I remember searching for (and in some cases, even writing) drivers was the most difficult part. These days, if you need macOS for whatever reason and don't have a Mac, it's probably easiest to use a VM --- VirtualBox can boot, install, and run an unmodified High Sierra with only a few minor configuration changes to the VM's "hardware" to make it more Mac-like.
Again, I just pointed it in the previous message. It's attenuation of light. If you have a surface, which absorbs half of the light then you multiply whatever light energy that came in by 0.5 to get the light energy that escapes the surface.

>Those bands are arbitrary, defined by human color receptors.

Sure. And if we had monochrome vision then we could have used just scalars for light. If you are arguing against 3 component color model then you should not have been baselessly attacking such uncontroversial thing as attenuation. There are engines, which use more points to represent spectra yet they still use multiply.
All of them. That's what an employee is :-) You can find services to do most of these things too. However, all of these things eat into your profit margin. If you don't actually want to run a small business, probably the better idea is to invest your capital in somebody else's business.
I'm curious as to why docker is chosen for build artifacts but not for running the app itself. Any info available here?
People simply don't want to have an argument to learn something these days. They are dead set to either extreme. I regret every minute I spent online trying to bring things nearer the average, and I have deleted all non-technical articles from my site, because I am afraid that some opinion brings prejudice on me, and mostly because nobody reads them.

And I really regret not having created 4 pages ten years ago, with SJW, MRA, extreme left and extreme right themes, and secure my current retirement on this 4-pole perpetual motion machine of clicks and ads :)
It scales until it doesn’t. Depends very much on the structure of the problem as well as the size. Millions of variables is fine.
Definitely a cultural disaster. Just think what it does to people to have said all this shit online. They have to live the rest of their lives knowing they were stupid raging assholes online, and it will always weigh on them if they ever engage in another medium thoughtfully. And those tweets will certainly haunt them if they ever enter the spotlight or try to get a decent job with even a trivial background check (if the account if not anon).
This is mistaken. A correct renderer would look correct to whatever creature was looking at it. If we had monochrome vision, we couldn't simply use scalars because it wouldn't look right for those who could see more.

And how could it be otherwise? Real life looks correct to any creature that looks at it. And our renderers supposedly model real life.

This is a contradiction, and rather than trying to disprove what I'm saying, it's worth chasing down the logical fallacy.
Nothing to make it any different from any other computer store, except for one thing. It was 5 minutes away from me. I was able to run in, find the needed thing, and then go back to doing what was needed. Didn't need to wait for UPS to show up the next day. I was very thankful that MicroCenter has not been forced to close from websites like most of the other brick&mortar stores have had to do.

I hate working out outside. In fact, I trained for an entire half marathon - and did pretty well all things considered, my time was faster outdoors - on a treadmill.

I have a bedroom that I converted to a home gym with weights, a treadmill, an elliptical, and soon a mid range stationary bike. It’s well worth not having to schedule my workout at a time the gym is open or leaving the house.

Once I stopped teaching fitness classes part time, I really didn’t feel inclined to go the gym. At home, I just go to the next room, turn the TV on and workout.
Yes these are not comparable. Google favors user freedom and is diametrically opposite of Appples app store.
Right, target date retirement funds are never 100% stocks because only a crazy person would have a portfolio of 100% stocks.

You can't have a sane portfolio of admiral shares with only $10k because you would have to be invested 100% in a single asset class which is never a good idea.

The point is that Cython provides a nice intermediate stage between C and CPython. Most optimizations need the first factor of 100, not the last factor of 2. You can usually achieve that in Cython with an effort measured in characters changed rather than lines of code changed.

I've played with Julia. It's nice enough, but it doesn't offer me anything I don't already get through the C/Cython/CPython hierarchy.
Instead of focusing on Craigslist, have you tried Silicon Florist (https://siliconflorist.com/)? The site has a jobs board and posts about tech/startup related news which can help you familiarize yourself with the local 'scene'.

As you've worked contract jobs recently, I agree with the sentiment others have already mentioned regarding working on applications or open source projects to build a portfolio.

That only works when almost everyone agrees on things you want to ostracize people over.

The Command Line – The Best Newbie Interface?
I started reading Byte in the mid-80's, while at tech school. It was a great source of information on all kinds of computing subjects.

It began to lose it's attraction (for me) when they stopped publishing source code.

I still have a paper copy of Volume 5, number 11. The Huffman encoding article showed a very creative way of recursively writing out the code-tree for static Huffman encoding.

I can't remember which issues they're in, but a couple of other memorable articles include a fast CRC32 calculation which introduced the table-lookup to speed up the process that quickly became the norm.

The other article that I really enjoyed was the Circuit Cellar article where Steve Ciarcia had locked himself out of his house with brownies baking in the oven. He was going to have to break in to his burglar-proof house before the brownies began to burn and his high-tech smoke-detection system would automatically call the fire department. If I remember right, there's a picture of Steve in soldier gear, complete with a bandolier with IC chips where bullets would normally have appeared.

It was a great magazine.
None. I exaggerate a bit. I don't mean to be negative, but you always need to monitor, check, manage. Employees or third parties. In my experience, you never "outsource your worries", you just manage them better. Third parties execute what you want them to execute.
>This is mistaken. A correct renderer would look correct to whatever creature was looking at it.

I am not discussing "correctness" whatever it means, I am arguing against your assertion that "multiplying colors makes no sense". Are we done with that?
It does. The TrackPoint actually works pretty well under macOS on the X220. Not quite as smooth as it does with Windows, but definitely usable.
No, that is pure fantasy. Manhattan is already insanely congested with only 25% of commuters traveling by car. There is no way you could possibly get four times that number into the same amount of space.
Right. We already draw lines.

The following wouldn't be a strong argument for removing the laws against robbery:

What if I accidentally get accused of robbery because I pick up someone's belonging to return it to them when they had left it somewhere.

I would rather have robbery laws and deal with these cases as they arise than not have robbery laws at all. Same goes for harrasment.
