Well, except for "going Dutch" and "Dutch oven" all those phrases have fallen out of use, or in other words all the obviously denigrating phrases about the Dutch are gone. So its not surprising that if there were any similar expressions in the Dutch language they might be gone too.
What risk? That you have to wait a few days for your bank to send you a new card if it is compromised? There is no accidental charge risk as you then just call the bank and have them remove it. If your bank makes that difficult then switch to a reputable one.
Lookback | Devops | Remote | Full-time

Lookback is a cashflow positive, remote first, tech SaaS startup from Stockholm, with headquarters in Palo Alto. We are growing and now we need a hands-on operations person capable of working in a devops organization to help us figure out how to move forward.

This is a senior role. Basically, what we need you to help us figure out, and do, is:

* Improve and maintain our hosting environment on AWS.

* Work methodically with monitoring, alerting, logging and analytics

* Work with developers to improve shipping culture and tooling.

To to be able to do this, we think you should have solid experience in at least Linux, AWS and Docker, or similar technologies (…and tell us about that super important thing that we don’t even know about yet). Also you’ll need curiosity and a genuine drive to keep developing and improving our systems.

Nothing is on fire, few things are set in stone, so this is a great opportunity for someone who knows what they are doing to come in and show us how it is done.

We offer competitive salaries, stock options and benefits.

We have a small but highly competent team of engineers and a hands-off management culture. And we love building tech.

The position will be based remote in Europe or North America.

Why are we still debating whether women can do physics?
> many people that want to pursue solo development of a game are unlikely to be good PMs once they bring on others

When I went from being on a small independent consulting team, to working for a company with project managers, it really blew my mind just how important a good PM is. I had that cocky developer attitude of "We don't need no stinkin' PM", but now I see so many projects that, if they only had a good PM, would have gotten so much more done, faster...
As if criminals as a class are smarter than the average. Oh they will be caught by this! Example: The amount of people that have felt the urge to show me pictures of their baby marijuana plants is scary. They carry those pics everywhere on their phone! And it's not even like they need those for work.

Don't go around saying how it doesn't work. It makes the life of criminals harder. So it absolutely works. People will be caught by this. The question is: Is it worth it to lose the right to remain silent over it? In my view: Never.
Twenty years ago, Nicholas Negroponte pointed out the irony that when he passed through Singapore customs, they searched his atoms but not his bits.

Is being searched before you get on a plane or enter a customs checkpoint some kind of hideous infringement of your civil liberties? No!

There’s no problem with this in principle. The problem is that it’s silly, and it causes a privacy and security violation while not accomplishing anything.
Why do they even bother making macOS server anymore? They clearly don't care about the corporate enterprise. They keep stripping away features. No DNS, no DHCP, no VPN, what is anyone gaining using macOS server? If you use it you likely are going to have to hack together a bunch of services just to get it functioning.
I'm hoping we see color e-ink displays integrated into TV displays so they're not such an eyesaw when not in use.
Location: Gainesville, FL

Remote: yes, or local to Gainesville

Willing to relocate: sort of; I am willing to relocate to certain areas, esp. Jacksonville Beach or similar, provided some form of relocation assistance is available... Other areas in the US are currently not an option, for personal reasons. Unless you have an extremely tempting offer... ;-)

Technologies: Python, relational databases (MS SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL), web crawling, GUI development, scripting, automated testing, SQLAlchemy, some web programming (in progress), ETL, REST APIs, parsing. Languages: Python of course, Scheme, Prolog, Lisp. I have some familiarity with many other languages, like C, C#, Ruby, OCaml, Elixir, Clojure, Haskell, etc, and in most cases I can probably quickly become productive in them, if you have an existing projects in one of these languages. (I am always eager to pick up new programming languages or technologies.)

NGP VAN - Washington, DC and Boston, MA - ONSITE

Just posting one position today, though we do have more (including product management) on our website.

DevOps Engineer - Somerville MA or Washington DC - Apply here:

Equality political correctness maintains that the male brain and female brain are equal.
Evolution has built the male body physically different to the female body. These physical differences are obvious, and mainly deal with their roles in procreation. Overlaid on this are mental optimizations that deal with existential aspects, such as child nurturing, hunting, combat etc.
These overlays, over time, have led to the larger male physiology - we can see this.
Are there mental differences that are not visible, but show up in some metric.
One aspect of combat is the ability to co-ordinate the muscular aspects of combat. (here I include such aspects as fist fighting, stone throwing, spear throwing etc).
Does the male brain have a superior functional ability in this area? There is some evidence of this. Most ancient armies had more men than women in them. Why? - I suspect it is due to the fact that the average man can defeat the average woman in assorted forms of combat, which would cause army selection to be slanted towards men. This holds true in modern armies where physical combat is a factor. Many armies, most notable of Israel, have found modern combat has a lower need for strength, and have added women to almost all roles. (Elite tactical units, like US Navy Seals, tend to still be fully male - as far as I know)
Now this CERN scientist is alleging that some aspect of the male brain shows up in the mental capacity to master particle physics.
It is true that if you count heads, or count papers, that men are more highly represented. Is this true to a difference in capabilities, or a physics culture so hostile to women that it is an effective barrier?
If it is a hostile culture, we need to change it to level things, as why waste the potential abilities of women in this field.
Lets not get too excited. There were about 40 million passengers transiting NZ airports last year, according to Wikipedia.[0] The article says roughly 540 devices were searched in the same time period. That's 0.00135% or basically a dozen people per million being searched.

That hardly seems like totalitarian overreach. In fact it seems quite restrained and pretty reasonable - and presumably must be intelligence led, since I rather doubt they are doing this at random...!

Blackvue Dashcams are livestreaming car audio/video feed as well as GPS publicly
Riddle me this - what is the alternative? Don't look at a phone? Why do we look inside suitcases? Why have the concept of customs?

We search things across borders for things our country does not want. We don't want drugs. We don't want fresh fruit (which will trip up more people than drugs).

We don't want child porn. And if a phone is a container for that content, we want to be able to explore the container.

Of course, there's a million different ways around this. Get burner phones. Store content in the cloud. Have seven firewalls. Whatever. But that doesn't change the concept of inspecting things across a border to make sure things we don't want, don't come in.

And if that's a totalitarian purgatory, then name a country (or external border for the EU) that isn't a totalitarian purgatory.

Springshare | Intermediate/Senior Full Stack Software Engineer | Remote / NY / FL | Full Time

We're an established (since 2007), international (customers in 80 countries) SaaS provider to libraries (academic/public/special) and education (colleges/k-12 schools) - https://springshare.com. Our market is niche so we’ll never go public i.e. we don't promise equity worth paper millions. Instead, we provide a supportive small team environment where your work will have a measurable impact, competitive salary & benefits, and that great feeling that your work matters because it is improving the worlds’ libraries and schools.

5+ years professional experience with PHP or Angular, or both, is required. Experience in OOP/MVC concepts is a must, too.

You must be highly productive working remotely as we're a remote team. We’d prefer if you live in one of these states - NY, CA, FL, PA, MA, or KY. If you’re international, the working hours must overlap significantly with US working hours. Send resume to jobs@springshare.com or contact me personally (I’m the founder/owner) at slaven@
Is this a fair criticism? Western philosophy is highly interconnected, and the design is apparently intended to focus on those interconnections. Some Western philosophers were influenced by Asian ideas (particularly Buddhism), but does it go the other way around? Were modern Asian philosophers influenced by or commenting on Western philosophers? I don't know nearly enough to say one way or the other, except to know that a number of modern Indian philosophers attended English universities.

Moreover, the data set for this is clearly not a fixed, immutable thing. It can and should be evolved (I immediately thought it needs a wiki-like editing ability), and connections to non-Western philosophers could be added there.

I'd also like to see the data popped out into another dimension, where broader concepts of metaphysics, epistomology, and morality can be linked to the philosophers that addressed them. (For example, look up "murder", and see links to the philosophers that have talked about it).

But honestly, complaining about how it's just "Western philosophy" is suspiciously close to content-free moralizing. I'm strongly leftist and "SJW", but this feels unfair to me.

Event Wrap: Chaos Conf 2018
I have a counter proposal:

Demonstrate a model election. As in show what it looks like, explain all the bits.

Voter registration, candidate filing, ballot production, poll books, signature verification, tabulation, ballot summary reports, etc.

This will equip laypersons with the knowledge of what to fight for as they reform (improve) their local elections.

FWIW, the gold standard is paper ballots cast at poll sites, tabulated when the polls close. Variations may be desirable, eg postal ballots to enfranchise, but know the tradeoffs.
Phishing attempts on 2008 political campaign staffers
I think you're thinking of cases where there is a search warrant and the potential harm to third parties has been weighed against the needs of the investigation, which should be predicated on a robust assessment that determines that this particular case justifies the harm.

I don't think leaving the decision up to the agent at the point of entry, or basing it on some kind of random selection, is as robust as a good quality court issuing warrants. Though I'm contradicting my point elsewhere in this discussion about being generally skeptical of such courts.
I don't think the number of visits has dipped that much.

Only the rank relative to other web sites has dipped,

If you don't want to do work understanding someone's argument then I'd suggest not participating in a debate; there is no way to present an argument that makes consuming it completely mindless. And really, it doesn't take that much work to understand "if we really believed that principle was true for ANY political philosophy then it'd be just as true for the Nazis as it is for whatever group you're supporting."

As far as logical fallacies go: I don't like the Internet style of just rattling off a bunch of logical fallacies to dismiss an argument, but I think it's fair to say "this argument is such-and-such a fallacy because of X, Y, and Z."

If we took your suggestions I don't know how anyone would have a substantive debate at all.
