I understand that. My Facebook profile is mostly empty to an outsider, and even to many of my so-called friends. Hehe!

I said that because the more I think about it, the more I find social media platforms don't really help me stay in touch with anyone. I mean, yeah, I can see they got a third kid or that hunting season was great this year, but nothing near a real conversation around a coffee or a beer.

That's why I started using MatterMost ,an open source Slack clone, or like I tell my less tech-savvy friends: IRC on steroids. (IRC was the go to choice when we were teens)
For start, an indictment isn't proof. Though I find it likely that Russia was behind the hack, charging someone with a crime requires little evidence and there are countless examples of false indictments.

Further, though dcleaks is mentioned repeatedly, there is no mention of Wikileaks. All my questions still stand.
It doesn't seem like a stretch to me. We already have bikes on our footpaths where I live (NZ) and it's a non issue. Cyclists just slow down around pedestrians. People are clearly capable of sharing footpaths courteously. Maybe where you live people are just arseholes, but that's not the fault of the scooter they're riding on.
imho, if all you know are HTML and CSS, you are NOT a front end developer.

Knowing JS and some additional information can get you a lot farther, and to where I might consider you one... I happen to reach for node first in most cases on the server, so would say that a basic understanding of JS, node and build tooling would be sufficient.

Personally, I HATE getting cast into the "front end" box when I have a lot of experience across the stack, but am simple far more experienced than most on the front end.
Very cool - Airbnb feels like it got overrun by professional property managers, cool to see a more personal alternative with a genuine community.
For anyone reading this, Reed also worked with Kay on Croquet (an interesting project in its own right) which implemented this object-based idea of "time" via a framework called TeaTime [1].

You can try out Croquet for yourself in the latest version of Squeak -- see [2]

Maybe, but not for Apple, who could be in for a world of regulatory hurt if they owned a monopoly in the cell phone stack.

Apple wants to commoditize their complement to take the most profits for each finished device. This is why the quote from their lawyer is to not let Qualcomm walk away from Apple presenting a challenge to their patent legitimacy.

Right. I don't see why we need a step up basis at death. If you want to put it at $10,000 or something just to avoid a lot of paperwork for a de minimis tax loss, that'd be fine. But otherwise the tax basis of an asset should be whatever it was bought for, by whoever bought it.
> Having Facebook acquire them I think would be it's coup de grace

Fixed that.
The reviewer seems to say that he has a higher level of programming mastery than the author of the book.

Thats where I could not listen to him anymore. I would entertain the idea that theoretically programming languages that have features like contracts or specifications could be more robust or effective in some ways or for some applications. And actually I am interested in seeing examples of feature rich applications written in languages with these types of features.

But I am not convinced of the practicality of these languages or the superiority of the reviewer. The proof is in the pudding. I would challenge the reviewer who has clearly placed their knowledge and skills above the creator of Tcl/Tk and RAMCloud to show the useful projects he has created that prove this superiority.
Just one example: An awful lot of people are terrified of being around homeless people. They are just sure the homeless are all drug addicts and thieves.

If the street isn't full of smelly, desperately poor people with no home, you don't have to live in terror of being panhandled by them while imagining it will go much worse places than that.

If I make the world a better place, I get to live in a better place. Simple.

Somebody needs to start suing these providers for fraud like consumers did to RR Donnley publishing a few years back were they were caught regrouping their price schedules to maximize their profit while telling customers they were optimizing to give them the best cost. Consider McDonald's Dollar menu pricing. Same thing sold, how you group it matters on the bill.
Both IBM and Red Hat have fulltime participants working on Knative (as well as Pivotal, SAP, VMWare and Google).

Lyft I noticed has some decent algorithms to detect obviously bad behavior. One recent ride I called just started driving the opposite way entirely and it allowed me to cancel with no fee. So Lyft at least has a few ways to detect when a driver is obviously acting in bad faith.
My observation is that elites tend towards keeping around multiple forms of mutual blackmail in their pockets so that they stay in a cease-fire arrangement: e.g. all the conspiracy/cult stories where everyone is made an equal participant in some crime or disturbing ritual.

This allows them to avoid simply killing each other(too risky) while still allowing credible threats to power, and gatekeeping contenders who won't play by the same rules. "Civil" society is an expression that alludes to making that ruleset ethically responsible and cooling down the competition. It's tested constantly by anyone who wants to get ahead.

The behavior is everywhere once you look: If you have a poorly regulated sport, match fixing, cheating, dangerous play, and exclusionary collusion all become rampant. If you have a labor force with few protections and high competition, they start to climb over each other to pump up their image. And when organized crime structures break down, violence erupts.

Democratic structures, coalition-building, collective bargaining, and other tactics that negotiate rights and protections solve most of these issues temporarily, at least until a majority are satisfied enough to stop participating, by which time someone ambitious will have found a new angle for changing the rules.

If it feels like this era is more unstable or more violent, it's because there are some very broad changes hitting. Disruption worked.
> epoll is bad

Source please! I'm genuine - what is bad about it?
That sounds indistinguishable from being compelled to testify as a witness, which isn't absurd at all.
The linked NYT article states pretty clearly that she was accusing him of coercion, and that Google determined that accusation to have merit. This article by buzzfeed adds that there was a second such allegation, from a different woman:

> following an investigation into an allegation that he had coerced another employee to perform oral sex on him.

To not acknowledge these facts clearly stated in every article strikes me as bad faith rather than confusion.

I don't know how you draw the conclusion that Reddit is all gaming and gaming-adjacent unless you dilute the definition of "gaming-adjacent" past all meaning. There's never been greater diversity in defiance of the gamer/geek persona on Reddit than there is today, and I say that as someone who's been a regular user for more than a decade.

> my main OS for gaming is macOS.

My only OS for gaming is macOS. I don’t even play on iOS. If a game doesn’t exist for macOS, it doesn’t matter how much I’d want to play it — I don’t buy it. If a humble bundle[1] has games that are not on macOS, I make sure to give those developers zero euros of my contribution.

But I don’t run macOS for gaming — and it seems that neither do you — and that was GP’s point.

> I don't like their chances either way, management will persist in making management decisions even if they need to fire people to do so

I'm not sure this is true - Google's legendarily high salaries and retention incentives are high because management has high demand for good people and specifically for people who have been at the company for a while. They might fire people, yes, but they won't do so casually. They might give in to the protesters out of rational self-interest. So I think the protestors' chances are better with this approach than with politely trying to change management's mind by debate.

(I also suspect that there are plenty of other Rubins in management, and rational debate that Google was too nice to Rubin is not ever going to be convincing to other rich abusers.)
My NDA with a client of mine works the same way, they're very common.

The question is whether it's enforceable. For my NDA it doesn't matter because I don't want to go to court, but for this situation it's much more likely to go there and probably end up with an even larger settlement.
> Now, there's a separate debate about whether you should be compelled to name that person...

Maybe, but even in criminal cases (which traffic violations often are not) there is no general right to not give evidence against third parties.
Social Networking App Peachy Opens Waitlist, Promises No Ads
Your typical CRUD app is not going to be on the bleeding edge enough to worry about many fuzzy areas and vendor specific enhancements.

As to multi-select and the like... this is why groups of developers are now leaning towards tooling around React, Angular, Vue and others. If you want something not in the box, you either make it, or pay for a custom control... of find an open-source one.

Developing web apps isn't so significantly different from desktop apps from a UI perspective, it's just you get a lot more in the box. (like layouts that grow/shrink to fit with nearly 0 cost).
I see, was thinking he meant the "deactivated" thing,
>We can agree to disagree on which is more sensible, but we should definitely work to accommodate them.

Indeed, my point was that these devices make sense for a lot of people, but we aren't accommodating the needs of the users by throwing them either into the roadways, bike lanes, or sidewalks.

Also, a lot of my stability/maneuverability/acceleration points likely don't apply to your e-micro. The Lime-S I tried weighs a ton, and has a battery in the stem, pushing the center of mass way up. And I think that this kind of scooters (larger, heavier) , rather than micros, will be the ones we'll see most, since they provide more range.

All the more arguments to build out e-scooter paths. Or better yet, close streets to car traffic, and let the scooters roam free.
More than just my age is diamond after reading OPs post
I think their servers.

(This is my imagination and it might be completely wrong so please feel free to correct me)

they mentioned spam problem which leads me to believe that if enabled, the sending client will encrypt the whole message using the recipient's public key and put all metadata other than recipient's identifier inside this bigger encrypted envelope. The receiver opens this envelope with its key and opens the smaller box inside which contains the sender's metadata.

What we lose now with this is the server does not have much insight into who is sending messages (by design). This means if you allow sealed sender from everyone, someone could send you a lot of messages which you may not like.
I don't see reCAPTCHA use being limited to this sort of case at all.

On the contrary, many websites use it as an initial gate before I get to see anything.
VMWare and Pivotal are separate companies. DellEMC owns controlling stakes in each.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal.
Do companies apply any of that to employees unless they are a protected class? If they want you gone you're gone for whatever reason they make up if they even make one. You don't get to have a presumption of innocence or due process.

Why shouldnt companies be treated the same way by their employees?
If you're using macOS, you'll need to do sed -i "" ... (put an empty string argument after the -i flag). If the second to last argument on the command line is -i, I think on the version of sed that ships with most distros, sed assumes that the argument to -i is the empty string and that the last argument in the command is the pattern. The version that ships with macOS, on the other hand, always treats the argument after -i as the extension to use for the backup file.
DMD offers the newest features and is the easiest to get started with. So it's the beginner recommended option. GDC tends to compile the fastest/most optimized executables but lags behind the most in features.

LDC was my preferred frontend, when I coded D. It meets DMD and GDC in the middle with well optimized output code whilst being close to bleeding edge.
Is there something you enjoy about explicit stories of sexual assault and coercion that would make you want to force victims to see the intimate details of their trauma published for all to see?

Because that seems to go somewhat beyond the usual standard. And it wouldn't even be helpful, unless you follow it up with a demand of DNA samples and expert witnesses.

FWIW: the parent comment wasn't assuming anything–they just more or less gave you the definition of coercion.
Our work on PKS is whole-hearted.
You probably have the causation reversed, FWIW.

"Unreliable" - It's not. I've been using it since the early RedPhone and TextSecure days. The only times it's been remotely unreliable is because of my connectivity. I can say I've never had either a lost picture or file sent to me that I can recall. My family and circle of friends (~40 people) use it daily. I just transferred my backup from my old phone to a new one (which by the way thank you for implementing real backups Signal devs!) and I was surprised that my backup sat at over 300 thousand messages. I do leverage many group chats that are repositories of pictures, but I was actually surprised at the volume.

To say Signal is "unreliable" is bull shi*. It's a fantastic product and service that I would gladly pay for but am glad it's free. In the meantime I'll continue to donate as Signal has been very reliable in my years of use.
One area of complexity I constantly rail against is dependency injection framworks or IoC... In most cases you can use what's built in, or don't need it.

Layers of crap in "Enterprise" .net and java projects. If you actually have lots of complexity in the app, with lots of test coverage, or multiple target libraries, sure... but most don't have that.

Aside from that, it really is resistance to change.
> I also see it as insurance against bloody revolution.

Why do you believe that our government does not - like any government purported to be by&for its people - slowly and inexorably march towards needing a horrifyingly bloody revolution in order to escape from degrading into oligarchy?

This isn't a new idea, either; it's ever so slightly older than the Constitution itself:

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson
Not when the article says flat out:

> In its simplest form, the long game isn’t really debatable. Everyone agrees, for example, we should spend less than we make and invest the difference.

Which conveniently brushes aside the fact that there are good reasons not to play the long game.

Here's a very non-standard example: If I do not have nor can I afford health insurance, then I shouldn't invest the difference between expenses and wages:

As time goes on the probability that I have a bankruptcy due to medical bills approaches unity, so any money I save I will likely never get to see the results of.

He (or she)'s not disagreeing with the notion that unfettered funding produces innovation, he (or she)'s disagreeing with the notion that HHMI provides unfettered funding.

Part of the beauty of Bell Labs was that it wasn't necessarily all about fame and grandstanding- a lot of folks who were working there were just normal, unassuming New Jersey folk who put in a good days work messing around with whatever they were tasked with. The only analogous example to that sort of dynamic today might be amongst the workers at large government agencies like NIST and the NIH; it's unlikely that many of them will ever become rockstars in today's research climate, but they dutifully carry out experiments nonetheless.
Yep, total trap. The in and out is there. Be careful getting a burger and leaving, you need to watch it turning right to go back to 101
Get involved in grassroots politics, e.g. https://350.org/

Personal action (such as reducing your own CO2 emissions) is good but not enough. Collective action to put pressure on governments to regulate CO2 emissions is what's needed.

We already have the tech to reduce emissions to safe levels. What we lack is the political will to use it.

This is an interview with David Harvey whose Brief History of Neoliberalism is one of the best primers on the subject.

"Outline is for reading pages that:

* you own the rights to,

* is in the public domain,

* constitutes fair use, or

* you have consent of the copyright holder."

They claim their site is for the above, and people can submit a notice to have content removed that doesn't fit that description. However, the reality is they want people to post and share content from other sites, and they'll happily remove their advertising, and add their own.

I searched site:outline.com on Google, because I wanted to see for myself what people are sharing, and if I might be mistaken. The first result was this article...

https://www.outline.com/vF4aGL

The source is The Free Thought Project. Hmm, I thought maybe this is some type of public domain news source, so I visit them. Nope, they're not. When I visited The Free Thought Project, I instantly get a popup saying, "Thanks to a coordinated attack on independent media by the establishment, this website is at risk of shutting down due to our ads being pulled and our social media pages entirely deleted. We need your help to survive, click below to see how you can make sure we stay around." This is the first Google result for an Outline article, and the company being stolen from has a popup that literally says they're struggling to stay afloat.

I haven't previously heard of Outline, but that is definitely a disgusting business model.

Posts on my local subreddit asking where the next protest is are becoming increasingly common. They're not asking for details on specific protests, just want to know when there is a protest scheduled for pretty much anything. It's becoming mostly a social event for many. It'll be interesting to see how people whose social interactions depend on protest culture fare when the current trend fades away.
It's people afraid of others crawling their content.
Strange that you say the dedicated meme parts of reddit are gone. In my mind they're more active than ever, between /r/me_irl, /r/prequelmemes, /r/deepfriedmemes, and if you really want the old fashioned stuff /r/adviceanimals is still surprisingly active.
TechForCampaigns.com is also great.
As you say, Assange has never received the privileges and immunities, so I don't see how he can be expected to stay out of politics.

From my perspective, it seems an embassy's right to hold a refugee was shown in the Noriega affair. If they are allowed to shelter a refugee without losing their diplomatic rights, I don't see how they can apply diplomatic law to him.
Even worse, imagine if you're one of the direct reports or the teams below those reports, how confident do those employees feel?

I know that if it were me and I had a boss for two months -- someone I liked working with -- and we had a game plan and then my boss was promoted, that would make me feel relatively secure in where things were headed. But if two days later, my boss is no longer promoted, an outside hire is brought in (who doesn't know the team or the job -- and two months or not, that matters), and my boss has now left the company -- well, I'd feel a lot less secure in my job and in the company as a whole.

And honestly I feel for the new person coming in -- because if there is loyalty to O'Hara -- no matter how qualified Gorman might be -- that's an awkward staff meeting.

This isn't a situation where you had a few candidates in the running and one candidate thought they had the job and then didn't get it -- that happens a lot and that is uncomfortable too.

This is your CEO made an offer, told the staff, and then changed his mind. It's not speculated in the Bloomberg piece -- and this is total conjecture on my part -- but perhaps Gorman turned down the role or hadn't responded by the deadline -- then did, and Spiegel felt he had to undo his mistake. Even then, I don't know if that kind of about-face is helpful from an optics perspective or from a team morale perspective.

Even if this was the right move from a personnel perspective, it just makes Spiegel look out of his depth as a leader and manager. And in the case of Snap -- Evan is the face of the company and his perceived competency matters as much as anything else.
