In Italy that’s basically what happened. Because each political party had its own trade unions, and there were quite a few parties after WWII, pretty much any unionised workforce is split between three or more unions.

The results differ by sector. In some cases, this plurality allowed for classic “divide & rule” strategies from management; in others, it produced chaos because each union can (and will) call for strikes at different times with little or no coordination, or refuse to agree on deals that everyone else has accepted.

The best outcomes have been consistently obtained in companies and sectors where the plurality was reduced to one or two dominant unions. Some competition is good, but it significantly increases complexity in all related processes.

Sure lets eliminate the massive, burdensome, complex financial regulatory environment, dismantle SWIFT, disband the FED, and remove prohibitions on crypto-currencies.

This framework is still fledgling, however it is very exciting for a .NET developer, not because it's a shiny new thing to learn, but because it's the opposite ... it's allowing you to reuse existing skills to code for the web, while seemingly allowing you to create a React-like architecture of components / state. All using a decent language C#. This is simplifying things if you are already doing a full stack and working half the time with JS/TS and the other half with C#.

I hope MS really get behind this and see it through to a production ready version.
Many times the offers are a thinly-veiled attempt to get rid of their older (more expensive) employees. People nearing retirement age are most likely to have many years of service, making a severance package that pays per tenure especially appealing. And there’s the threat of layoffs if you don’t accept the offer. If you’re in your 50s or 60s it’s hard to get a new job regardless of how qualified you are, so this makes gambling on your continued employment risky.

My mother went through this exact exercise two years ago. Management was clear that, if not enough employees took the buyout, they would start layoffs with less generous terms. From previous rounds of layoffs she knew older employees were the first to go, so she took the buyout and got 52 weeks paid severance.

The day she resigned, she received a termination letter offering only 40 weeks. Fortunately the company stood by the more generous offer. But it took her the better part of a year to get a new job, and it pays much less than the one she invested 30+ years in. She’s from a generation when you worked at a single company for life, but companies don’t operate like that any more.

It's very unlikely that a drone would hit an aircraft wing at combined speed that high - but certainly possible. I'd be more concerned about one going through a windshield at a slower speed and damaging the pilot.

In US airspace, there's a speed limit of 250 knots (around 290mph) below 10,000 feet. Most light aircraft cruise significantly slower (~140 mph for a Cessna 172) and closer to the ground, whether on approach, takeoff, or other, most aircraft are likely to be going slower than that - so this test is at the high end of that range, even if you add the maximum speed of a DJI Phantom (~40mph) and assume it's flying directly at the aircraft.
The hybrid F150 will sell well based on one feature alone: using the vehicle’s engine and electric motors to function as a powerful worksite generator. Of course most people won’t use it for that but it gives them the excuse to buy it.
Thank you, good example. 175 is indeed beyond what one could reasonably consider "around 120" and Abraham came after the 120 years proclamation.
Maybe he just doesn't like what you're selling. Find out what direction the company wants to go and help them get closer to that.

I would recommend temporary feature branches, that frequently merge into master and also release branches for the code that you want to push to production. You can always do hotfix branches off of the release branch.

There's always that wet dream of no branches at all, every edge case automatically tested and pushing right to production if the tests pass. But this is really not practical for most places of business.

But if you can promote some meaningful amount of:
1) Unit tests
2) Integration tests
3) Functional tests
That automatically run when code is pushed, that's a good first step.

Also, if you can get them on a regular release cadence of monthly or better, that would also be preferable, and you should be able to release code to pretty much any environment with the click of a button and with little to no manual intervention.

Oh and use Vault. :)

Stick with the basics and it will take them a long way.
Features that add extra security are great, but I am against any feature that lets you stop paying attention. When it comes to self driving, it must be all or nothing. Half self-driving doesn't work.

So year or two - and that's exactly around 2020

Let's say the rogue system is 4-40-400 light years away (nearest star is 4 ly).

What's a reasonable ∆v? We get some free ∆v from Earth's orbital velocity of 107,000 km/h, or 29.7 km/s. Our fastest spaceship (which is around sun, https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vehicle_speed_records#Spa...) is 252,792 km/h, or 70.22 km/s - which isn't including the ∆v to cancel that, ∆v to return to Earth, cancel again.

This 70.22 km/s is about 2 ten thousandths of the speed of light (70.22/299,792). It would take about 20,000 years for alpha centuri (4 ly) to arrive at that speed, and 200,000 years to travel 40 ly, 2,000,000 years for 400 ly.

Of course, maybe we can go faster in future. but propellant is a problem, you have to come back, and a manned mission is orders of magnitude heavier.

Space is big.

funexercise: propose a means of propulsion that could do this.

EDIT a new one is going 692,000 km/h, over twice as fast. At that rate of improvement, maybe we'll get closer to it sooner than I thought. https://www.space.com/41447-parker-solar-probe-fastest-space...

The one killer feature I wish Syncthing had was untrusted peers like Resilio has. There has been an issue[0] open since 2014 but I guess there are still major challenges to this feature.

It would be great for me to be able to specify a certain node as encrypted and read-only like I can in Resilio. If a friend wanted to store his files on my machine and vice-versa, we could do so without being forced to give access to each others plaintext files. Likewise, if I wanted to spin up a VPS and host an untrusted node to help facilitate syncing but didn't want my unencrypted files to be sitting on the disk, I could do so easily.

Wow, main stream society doesn't want to associate with a company that harbors extremists. I'm shocked.

So many commenters on this are jumping to a slippery slope fallacy as if Stripe has any moral imperative to uphold free speech. They are a private company and have their own reasons to disassociate from any client they wish. That is their prerogative, and as long as they are not discriminating against anything that is a federally protected class (and last I checked, hosting porn is not federally protected) they can cut off services to anyone.
Thanks, this is fascinating.

How is error rate being defined in this case?

I took your explanation to mean: Cancer is common, so the genetic blueprint for Cancer risk factors should also be common. We have a higher number of samples to verify against which increases the detection accuracy.

For less common diseases, we have a smaller pool to verify against, so our blueprint is less accurate. Lower detection accuracy.
Consuming irrelevant information is its own form of procrastination.
My suggestion is similar to the ones specified here.

Part of the DevOps concepts is to try to take a scientific unbiased approach that is to experiment, measure and make more changes. You could always treat implementing these changes as experiments to see what works.

Simplicity, trust, team rapport and support from top down really helps in order to implement change.

If the team, founder and manager aren't really interested in changing you can either work on influencing and correcting their mindsets, fight them on it or move on.
Bans are economically inefficient because they allow for zero flexibility. There will always be cases where an ICE is more appropriate, and it's very costly to try to lobby for an exemption.

A carbon emissions tax is the right solution. Just keep raising it until one gets the effect wanted - a wholesale switch to electric.
The shortcut app is a single thread. Send a message to an existing application (capable of receiving a message), wait for a response, send a message to the next application in the script and so on.

There's no logic, no timer.

The script is:

* Send message to {contact} with text (some templating done with location)

* Take video (Front)

* Save to photo album

The camera app has two messages you can send to it: take photo and take video. That's it.
And one I'm entirely in favor of.

Additionally, if the basis is faith, and people no longer have that, what then?

My wife and I spent a lot of time deliberating between getting a Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid) and a Model 3. We have an 09 Camry Hybrid. FWIW, our Camry Hybrid is nice, but the battery halves trunk space, and the accel is sloooow compared to a normal Camry (which we owned before that).

Fully loaded, the Prime is ~35k, and theoretically has more or at least equivalent features, can travel about 25 miles on EV alone, with smooth switching between EV and ICE modes. However, it feels like they threw all these systems in as feature creep. There's a HUD that's really hard to see or get used to, a lot of your EV info is on top of the middle of the dash in a very cluttered manner, the NAV system / phone system is tough to use - you end up trying to go thru a phone tree to make a simple call, and the phone sync is so bad that the sales guy who tried to demo it with my wife's iphone 8 spent 15 minutes and couldn't get it to work. The same holds true for almost every feature on it - the autopilot was hard to get to engage because there was also the standard cruise control features, and so on.

The Model 3 is amazing for its elegant simplicity. The early iPhone metaphor is remarkably apt here - there are things that could be better, it could be cheaper, and little idiosyncrasies like the door handles are there - but in the end it's a night and day difference, like you're getting Something New, and not just next year's model.

There's a list of hard factual reasons I could go into that played into the decision, but I'll try to cut the gushing fanboi talk short. In the end we dropped the extra 30k on our Model 3 and are ecstatic with it.

I think we'll find there's a lot of early Prius owners, even up to '10 or '13, who have enjoyed their car, bought it partly for green reasons, and when looking for a replacement will choose to bump up to the Model 3.
That's a fair point, which is why I avoided playing those games in the first place.
I haven't tried partially disabling Siri (always completed disabled it or fully enabled everything), but I thought the "Hey Siri" feature worked only when plugged in? Maybe I'm confusing it with a different feature.
Air movement is a rounding error in this test.

Suppose the curvature of the wing's airflow could in fact push the drone 15cm up or down in the time it takes the wing to advance 30cm forward (a tiny fraction of a second). That would require such a high G load exerted on the drone, it would disintegrate even if it didn't hit the airplane.

But of course, the air density and curvature is not nearly enough to affect a drone so dramatically. Mooney M20's wing generates only about 15 pounds of lift (down force) per square foot of the wing at cruise speed.

If instead of the drone we had a feather (small low density item) and the speed was 5 knots then yes, that might have worked.
Yep. It even imported my old workflows into it on my first launch.

The content of the comment wasn't that of a personal project. It was the context of an organisation, so I'm addressing that concern directly.
The proudest bug I've ever fixed came from working with the team using our software. They had a task that should take 5 minutes that the have to do several times a day but it was taking 30 minutes, 25 of those minutes was spent finding the right item in a massive list in a combo box (think medical codes). The only fix required was to an an order by clause so they could find what they were looking for, but they couldn't get approval for it. I took up the cause for them but couldn't get approval either, I couldn't get this two second task to be deemed a business priority and had to sneak the change in, risking my own ass.

The woman who had been wasting this time for years came up and hugged me in tears. No one was getting fired but I'd just freed up enough time that she didn't have to work overtime everyday. It was such a simple change and lifted such a weight off the users shoulders that went undone for years because nobody actually watched them using our software.

Unfortunately someones authority was undermined and I was let go a few weeks later.

The rear ones actually. If your rear end slides out its a lot harder to recover than front end slippage. Many people mistakenly put the best tires on the front.

I agree. Especially when the boss starts talking about "trust" and not listening to your proposals. Getting blamed for other people's decisions when you've already warned about the consequences is a flag that you've already lost the battle. Some people just can't be reasoned with.

Granted, saying leave is easy to do but the OP might not be able to due to their financial situation or other circumstances. So maybe leaving is not the right option but I don't believe this relationship can be salvaged so checking out(either mentally or physically) is the only way forward, as I see it.
> The majority of new vehicles being fully electric will happen pretty soon.

No? Not even remotely close to true. The Model 3 broke into the best selling sedan list. That's great, but it's not even in the same ballpark as an EV taking the top vehicle sales spot much less EVs being the majority of new vehicles.

Just to return to reality here there are more F150s sold in 6 months than Tesla has sold in its lifetime (450k; https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America... vs. 300k; https://electrek.co/2018/02/14/tesla-delivered-300000th-vehi...)

In the first half of 2018 there were 8.5 million vehicles sold in the US alone. The Model 3's accomplishment of 40k vehicles is a rounding error.
Hey guys,

CEO of Gab.com here.

Here is our full response to Stripe:

Hello Stripe Support,

To our knowledge no one is using GabTV to specifically livestream adult content and certainly not charging to access this live content because that is not possible on Gab. Can you please cite any specific examples for our review if you have discovered any? Currently only GabPro accounts can livestream content, but Gab native video uploading can be used by anyone including free version users. I think you may be conflating GabTV livestreaming with Gab native video uploading. Further, anyone can view and access any native video or livestreaming content for free on Gab without processing any payments through Stripe or anyone else. We do not offer any form of "exclusive" video unlocking access features via GabPro.

Secondly, we have several protocols and user guidelines in place to prevent any illegal activity on the site. We work with law enforcement regularly and see to it that any illegal content is reported to the proper agencies. We also have several technical features in place such as PhotoDNA to scan for and report any illegal content, machine learning systems that detect nudity which is not properly labeled NSFW, and user guidelines that require any adult content to be marked as Not Safe For Work; which is a setting that is on by default for all users and public-facing links. Both our User Guidelines and our GabPro Content Creator Agreement state that we do not allow any illegal activity on our service.

We believe these guidelines and our user agreements already cover what your own guidelines require and we will certainly take action on any offending accounts if you can point us to specific violating examples. We will also work to add improved reporting features to GabTV videos to make it easier for users to flag this content in the future.

We are happy to jump on a call if it is easier to discuss because some of your requests are not clear. For example your demand that we remove all adult content from the entire site, which is a bit unreasonable considering the many technical and user guidelines we have in place to ensure the specific Stripe guideline you cite is not violated and that no illegal activity is happening on the site.

Please advise

1. Why would it frustrate you? I do the job in the field everyday. I am frustrated that my back and knees hurt. That I have to work in the sun and can’t find enough markets.

2. There is already a lot of technology in what you eat. Mechanization in factory style farms, cold supply chain, blockchain for lettuce at Walmart..the stock system..the inventory..everything. Not to mention that your food chain is owned by agri fertilizers and pesticide companies..and gmo seed. Bayer owns Monsanto now. The company that used slave labor in nazi concentration camps bought out the company that made agent orange. And that’s who is making your food and medicine.

3. I am also frustrated that farming methods aka hard work meant to feed a lot less people is now expected to feed close to 10 billion by 2050. On less land.
