(a) A person shall not, as a condition of employment, continued employment, the receipt of any employment-related benefit, or as a condition of entering into a contractual agreement, require any applicant for employment or any employee to waive any right, forum, or procedure for a violation of any provision of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) or this code, including the right to file and pursue a civil action or a complaint with, or otherwise notify, any state agency, other public prosecutor, law enforcement agency, or any court or other governmental entity of any alleged violation.

> (f) This section applies to contracts for employment entered into, modified, or extended on or after January 1, 2019.

So, note that arbitration could still be mandated for violations
of your employment contract, but not for litigation concerning employer violations of the California Fair Housing and Employment Act. If your employment contract has a defined end date, then renewal of that contract after 2019 will be under the provisions of this new law. For ones that don't have a defined end date, I'm not clear on whether they could be considered continually extended, or if it would just be a grandfathered-in contract.
I put a lot of effort in my undergraduate thesis, but none of the professors on my committee had much interest in advising me; and after my defense, the only professor who really gave me his undivided attention came to me and said “I’m glad you’re not staying here for grad school; you’re way too good for this place”.

Profiles capture only program brhabiour under test Data and sssumed that that pattern is prevalent. If the actual runtime behaviour is bimodal or worse, then only one mode will be optimized at most. A CPU can keep statiatics at runtime (the branch predictor does) and thus adapt ever so slightly to the actual current program behaviour.
I'm not sure you could do that in a completely secure processor though; at least not the way you're describing. More ideally the delay would at least be /simulated/ even IF the units were already powered up because of prior instructions. It would be /per thread/ tracking of slow/fast/powered before paths.

Orcas aren't the "average" mammal. They have one of the most complex known social structures. [1]

Should we assume that solitary mammals – say, tigers – feel grief? Maybe not – they do not share the social structure humans have in which grief plays a part. Though we might assume they experience emotions related to maintaining a territory, such as pride and anger.

My employer sent me a form asking me to sign on to an arbitration agreement for my already existing salaried job a year or so back. I considered saying sure, so long as you're willing to offer me an employment contract, but eventually I decided to ignore it. Looks like that's moot now.

If you're doing it mostly for fun with a side benefit of recognizing a few characters here and there, go for it. Just know you're choosing to learn in a way that's not really recommended for most.

If your learning goals are mostly focused around reading, it's helpful a bit.

If you want to actually understand and use the language, hiragana, katakana, vocab and grammar have much higher utility.
I think you mean rocket waving, although the idea of weaving rockets does sound interesting...

More substantively, my understanding is that while the space race turned into a PR exercise, it started out as a serious military exercise in demonstrating ICBM capabilities; "we can put a man on the moon" is more politically acceptable than "we can put a big bomb in Moscow" but it is understood just the same.

I gave a talk on this topic at a recent RISC-V conference (slides here: [1]).

I think this can entirely be hidden below the ISA abstraction, but it will be a lot of development work to do this and unfortunately getting new hardware into the field is a slow process. One part of this is buffering and killing speculative updates (or flushing on "time domain" switches). The other, and harder part, is to manage/avoid bandwidth contentions caused by speculation.

I think the better, long-term solutions will involve address IDs/capabilities to better denote security boundaries to the hardware. But that requires a lot of buy-in across many layers of the compute stack(OS/platform change for starters).

I am appreciating this comment, not because I agree or disagree, but it contains some views I had not considered and they may be important for others who I might want to attract to a mastadon instance if I set up one.

I've been keeping on eye on this project for many months, and it's been very interesting. A recent post about moderation and mastadon was very nice to read, but I had only considered the info there from my personal perspective.

I had not considered the network affects of shared blocklists, and now I wonder if this is put up front and center on each instance - are people who sign up notified of the blocklists each instance has?

It's also interesting to consider the end user who does not care about the tech and it's possibilities, and instead just looking for a social network that is easy to use and different than the other big networks in one way or another.

I do not see how creating an instance is like IRC, and I have not seen anything about joining small instances and how that would be like IRC. To me IRC is like a download and run, with mastadon you have to host an instance. I guess it could be just run on someone else's though.

If it was self hosted as an app or browser extension, I suppose it could run something like scuttlebutt and just re-sync when it re-connects - that would be interesting.

That makes me wonder what it could be like if it was installed on a million routers like nextcould is doing(?) - not sure I read that recent post correct.

I am still interested in mastadon, my idea is to somehow make it, or something like it has various bouncers you can follow / make part of your stream. So rather than depend on or have one block list server wise, you could have open servers and subscribe to different bouncer lists, kind of like the adblock lists - and that way some people could choose bouncers that block certain types of material they may want to avoid and be comfortable with certain people or groups making those kinds of, for example left or right leaning, or even block all trump and kardashian news, or all kinds of neat bouncers that could be created.

The future looks interesting and more possible to be less non-federated, I think the world is more ready for that now.
Those are awesome tips. Could you give a bit more detail into the actual process you follow, beyond those tips? What is your process / do you have a specific routine you follow with the cards?
>Delete cards when they give you trouble. Language learning is a marathon, if the word is important you'll see it again. If you keep getting a card wrong then you probably didn't actually learn it in the first place, or the card is written in a confusing way.

Anki has that feature built in actually, they're called leeches. By default I believe it's set to 7 mistakes. The idea is that if it happens, you need to either remake the card or do as you said, and wait for it to come up later.
The argument is not really whether it’s easy to get up and running with some trivial app. Clearly it is easy in purging. Parent’s point is about the longer term development cycle, when you have more dependencies, more project complexity, and more potential for small errors to ripple and affect your production systems.
Yes, but "designing complex technology" has little to nothing to do with capability to feel emotion.

Well, one good thing about this article being three years old now is that we've had three years for some things to have become much more clear since then. I could give you the details but I won't unless you ask because I don't want to waste your time or mine.

"despair in the experts and scientists themselves"? Yeah, it's called "believing your own press", and it's almost always a bad thing. Of course, usually said press is too much on the positive side instead of the negative side, so perhaps in this case the sentiment is better expressed as "believing your own garbage data and models built on that data".

“calling this stuff out" means calling a lot of this climate stuff out as being the doomsday-cult type thinking that it is. Said thinking clearly should be treated with disdain instead of being encouraged.

The barrier reef will generally be fine. It may change a bit ("adapt", as it's called), and its size and location may shift a bit, but it's been doing that kind of thing for eons now anyway.

Since supposedly the poorest and most populous among us will be hurt the most here anyway (that probably isn't really true, but whatever), then the "human consumption" problem will probably be self-correcting, just as long as we don't do anything to interfere with that process.

The last I read of it, the plummeting fish stock issue was being blamed on the fact that the Chinese were taking something like 7x the number of fish out of the oceans than they're supposed to. So maybe we should be doing everyone a favor here and shipping a lot of those invasive Asian carp back to them, huh?

If by 2008 you're referring to the economic collapse, quite a few of us did see that coming! In fact, the economic modelers at the big company where I worked at the time not only saw it coming, but they thought they'd positioned the company well enough to sail through it relatively unscathed. It turns out that they weren't quite right about that last part, though.

The environment is going to be fine. It's been through a lot worse than anything we could ever put it through. Our ancestors lived through it, too; remember that.

>startups try to be selective; but they're really desperate to hire

That is a paradox I am still trying to figure out LOL.

Ostensibly, startups are huge on culture fit. But also at the same time they want someone who knows a certain stack in and out, and can't attract those people all the time.

So startups and large companies are selective, in different ways?

And that is really gonna be a game changer for me, in turning my interview strategy into something that satisfies subjective needs.

I guess it's because so many candidates, as you say, can do the job because they perform well on an objective basis that larger companies have to reach into other less objective criteria to filter them out?
For me it's going from knowing the syntax of a language to actually designing and building something useful. No one really gets this right as far as I can tell. I can solve lots of stupid little puzzles in several languages but when it comes to building something without a tutorial giving me step by step direction I'm completely lost.
I use Dvorak (5 years total, vs 25 with qwerty), and IMO Dvorak is clearly superior for the specific case of vi motion (hjkl). Dvorak places these keys on 4 separate fingers rather than 3, and their relative positions make just as much sense as with qwerty. I've used vim since 2005, but before that I used emacs for 11 years, 3 of which was on Dvorak keyboards. I similarly found qwerty vs Dvorak to be a wash in the context of the editor.

The only combination that has given me trouble with Dvorak is OS X hotkeys and mouse (can't reach some hotkeys while right hand is on the mouse). OS X and trackpad works fine with Dvorak.

These days I use Dvorak layout even on my Android phone, and my family's computers are configured to easily switch between layouts, so I only rarely find the need to suffer qwerty. This is a strong contrast to 2001, when I last switched back to qwerty.
The energy consumed from bitcoin PoW is used as a frequent rebuttal against the legitimacy of bitcoin, and it is an incontrovertible fact that the energy demands of bitcoin are non-trivial.

According to annualized energy forecasts extrapolated out from bitcoin PoW energy demands back in December 2017 (i.e. at the height of the recent crypto bubble frenzy) BTC miners are expected to use 8.27 terawatt-hours this year. That's more energy than 116 countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo.

On the other hand, the amount of energy bitcoin is forecast to consume in a year would only last the U.S. 19 hours. Additional the production of the global cash and coin supply will consume an estimated 11 terawatt-hours this year while gold mining will burn the equivalent of 132 terawatt-hours over the same period - and that doesn't include armored trucks, bank bank vaults, security systems etc...

I'm not saying it's worth it to burn all that energy to keep bitcoin (arguably) decentralized. I just want to provide some (now probably outdated) perspective to temper arguments, and stimulate others (on both sides) to advance their arguments beyond headline quotes.

I had a friend who's advisor made them make everything longer the way you describe, theirs was in excess of 100 pages. (IIRC this advisor had suggested that while the guidelines say ~50 pages this was the bare minimum sufficient for a pass).

I guess it depends a lot on your advisor.

Ah, I believe I'm familiar with this thinking. I have discussed it with other writers of shorthand. Were you aware that you can extend Quikscript into a shorthand system with some simple steps?

In my case, I have added my own extensions to Ford, such as representations of words and phrases, and have added on some conventions from Gregg as well.

IMO the distinction some draw between "shorthand" and "script" for example can make it needlessly difficult for beginners to get started.
In theory the re-ordering should only happen in the presence of packetloss, which is exactly what you want. Could be worth an experiment, anyway.

Your suggestion is how some "WAN optimisation" network middleboxes work (transparently terminating the TCP in the middlebox itself). To do that with Wireguard you'd have to implement that in the Linux kernel.

Maybe. To the extent a case involves a purely intra-state contract (e.g. your typical employment contract), it might be viable. I’d argue it’s unconstitutional to apply the FAA to a preempt state contract law that has purely intra-state effect.

I’ve definitely noticed software development salaries for both “full stack web developers” and mobile developers peak in my local US metro. Companies seem to have stayed in the range of $105K - $130K [1] since around 2012 when we were coming out of the recession. Web development has become somewhat of a commodity and companies can outsource it or “rural source” it to cheaper parts of the country.

Moving into “team lead”/architect role seems to change the range to $125K - $155K. The only way to make more is by being a billable consultant. That ranges from $145K - $175K.

[1] These are the salary ranges for most cities outside of Silicon Valley/West Coast, DC, and New York where the salaries and cost of living are a lot lower.

A while ago I read a 2010 New Yorker profile on Mark Zuckerberg [1], which still had a relatively exuberant "make the world more open" rhetoric. How things have changed.

I think it's a really good thing that the world in general is lashing back against the share-everything tendency of modern network-platforms. This isn't (or isn't just) about the trails of data that you're putting out because everyone else is also doing it (shameless self-promotion: [2]), but also pushing back against the implicit societal pressure to putting effort into maintaining online presence as "performances" of the self, as Alice Marwick [3] and danah boyd [4] have analyzed, among others.
