Isn't confidentiality a key part of your code of ethics? Why are you posting your clients guarded secrets on a public forum?
> So you think all claims should be dismissed as false

Why would you think that?

I think the majority of claims need to go into the “not really sure” bucket where they belong.

Acknowledging this basic truth does not mean you have to then do nothing.
"A commitment to end pay and opportunity inequity"?

I'm confused here. Are they demanding that preferential hiring and advancement practices and programs for women and certain minorities be stopped?
It's worth noting that one of their demands is dropping the binding arbitration that essentially forces employees to forgo their right to legal recourse for civil matters. Not every instance of unacceptable behaviour is a criminal matter.
Most of the purported cooling comes from the ashes of burning cities blanketing the atmosphere; so we would not expect any effect from tests.

Still I think the methodology of the studies that produced this theory have been widely discredited.
> China is a communist state.

Yet its market operates more like a capitalistic one.

It's also not entirely fair to point the finger wholly at China on CO2 output when Europe and the US have effectively outsourced their manufacturing and most polluting processes to companies over there.
Reminds of local towns buying expensive “smart benches” that really no one uses. Easy way to spend some tax-payer money and give the appearance of investing into sophisticated technology, when it's all cheap off the shelf components from China.
Green Gemstones: The Gemstones of Wealth and Money
That is the typical defense argument I keep getting from C crowd since the mid-90's.

The thing is,

Σ logic errors < Σ logic errors + Σ memory corruption errors

So while errors don't go away, the exploit area is considerably dimished.

Naturally it gets hand waved as errors are errors.

Which is why I really do look forward for harder lawsuits when security exploits happen.

When money starts speaking, more companies will take security more seriously.
I’m a huge fan of Node.js, particularly in the enterprise, but I question your “0 changes...” claim. At the very least you’ll have to update dependencies to deal with breaks on their part due to upgrades.
There’s substantial corroborating evidence for rape. It can be traumatic, but read through some trials of convicted rapists and review the evidence presented.
The first version did! But I removed it because I didn't want Blizzard to take me down for copyright infringement, haha. And to be honest it was getting annnoying while I was working on the app cause I heard it dozens of times a day.

But Heartstone? Ha! Go back in time another 12 years.

I used to play Warcraft III in highschool and that sound stuck with me for sure.
Do you realize that all the things that make your current job bearable like 8 hour workday, weekends and safe work environment are only possible because people in the past had the spine to strike and demand better conditions for themselves and their fellow workers?
Do the workers own the means of production?

No, therefore China is not a communist state. It is one in name only. Its economy is extremely capitalistic.
How would you remove any kind of negotiation though? Say that it's illegal for an applicant to say "You have to pay me X or I won't accept the offer"? Or for an employee to say "Give me a raise of Y, or I'm leaving"? What if they already have an offer from a different company for more money? Can they tell their current employer? And if they do, can the employer offer to increase their wage to keep them? And if they can't, can they offer the employee a "new" higher paid position so it technically isn't a raise/negotiation?
In short; yes. I think it's fair to say that google aren't going to run out of engineers if they implemented a completely rigid payment structure. Firstly, their pay is very high compared to the industry and secondly they attract the best engineers by reputation more than anything else.
It's silly of they have to rescan and process every time, a waste of resources.

how would that statistic look like if it attributed the carbon where the end product was consumed? At least China isn't calling global warming a hoax...
I don't understand why govt's aren't tasking their militaries with using their considerable resources to find solutions to climate change - they have, at minimun the following skills: science, tech, manpower, organisational ability.
But why is it flagged? That is a reasonable comment.

Also, what's with the rampant brigading here. Every reasonable comment here seems to get immediately and automatically downvoted.
I think there's a lot to be said for going vegan, but conspiracy literally is a conspiracy, and I'm usually not inclined to take conspiracies seriously.

But yes, things need to change. And yes, that requires changes by governments and corporations, but all of that is set in motion by regular people. Change your habits, even if they don't make a difference on their own - they show others that this is important, and will influence them to make their own changes. It will spread, not just to our regular behaviour, but also to our consumption and voting decisions. People are more likely to do as you do than to do as you say.

I used it heavily in production in 2013, for a dating site. I'm sure it has gotten better since then (or at least I hope so). At the time, it was really just a single node. The issue with graph databases where RDBMS doesn't scale is that the graph can grow quite quickly. I've kept a loose eye on the space since then and I think there is quite a few competitors.
Unsolicited tip. Something I find has helped me a lot with challenges like you are facing is to stop looking at them as difficult or choices and simply understanding it what you have to and are going to do. Remove the choice from the equation. I had some pretty destructive habits when I was younger and now people comment on my strong mental discipline. This approach has really helped. I recently had to cut all starch from my diet due to an auto-immune diagnosis and went through ketosis. The discipline has now become the habit. It never occurred to me to not follow through even in the deepest keto flu period. It's possible to achieve and once you've beaten one hurdle the next one becomes easier until you control fully your thoughts and not the other way around.
Nonsense. Grazing animals are part of the natural cycle that has produced grasses, the topsoil, and nutrients that tie them together. Vegetarianism breaks that cycle and leads to use of chemicals for growing edible plants.
I am not jsjohnst, but the only additional nitpick is that Heliox is any blend that is exclusively helium and oxygen and the reason why heliox is more commonly used for deep dive is that helium has less resistance compared to nitrogen, meaning that pushing compressed air through ones respiratory system takes a bit less effort. Helium in heliox is thus used to displace the nitrogen, with the oxygen ratio being adjusted based on health, depth, bottom depth, purpose, decompression, surface interval and so on.

How should we got about people saying: "It's too late. It's now an open bar and I won't shoot myself in the foot by restricting my lifestyle or paying more than others for the same goods and services to soften the inevitable coming disaster. If this is the last ride and I have a seat I might as well enjoy it."

> Some people don't have the ability to not be concerned with politics.

This is doublepg23's comment, despite where the conversation may have wandered, it was a very mild, general statement.

I guessed at what particular group doublepg23 was referencing, but with just a little imagination one can easily think of many non-LGBTQ+ segments of society that do not have the freedom to bury their head in the sand with regard to politics.
What I am finding in my road to eating less meat is that vegetarian food seems to take a lot longer to prepare. I can knock up a steak with mushrooms and brocolli in about 10 minutes.

I am finding to create something just as satisfying that's vegetarian is some form of pie or lasagne that is delicious but takes an entire evening to cook.

What would the vegetarian equivalent to a quick steak be?
That's why I specifically excluded deep learning stuff. I was imagining something much simpler only marginally more complex than title base salary + x * years experience + y * years at google. Where the factors are initially chosen to get close to the current state.
I have only used Neo4j for one customer project, but I experiment with it myself (I also use RDF datastores) and have used Neo4j in examples for two books I wrote. Good technology, and I am glad they are successfully transitioning from the open source community version to also making money with their enterprise version.

It is still a research thing, but I am starting to see occasional papers on inducing relations in graphs using deep learning. If this proves useful, that should help the growth of graph databases and the use of knowledge graphs.

However, as another commenter ‘hardwarsofton’ said, just using Postgres is very often all I need.
Run into similar issues working in Architecture over the years. Baking consistent approaches at the start leads to too much friction while trying to enforce them later can be too expensive. Companies then get deadlocked into a complex/difficult to change architectures and siloed behaviour as only they understand their systems.

No easy answer here, unfortunately. DRI's here sound like Architects in my terminology but it's not a popular position!
The mundane truth is that no-one collected any money, or even tried to. Despite the perpetuated claim that "this really happened" it actually didn't. Some fools said some stupid things on an IRC channel.

The reason it doesn't make sense to me is that there are clearly engineers in the UK who are as talented as the average engineer in silicon valley and are unwilling to move to the other side of the world. There are also many many many companies in the US that have offices in the UK. Given that UK engineers appear to earn no where near their US equivalent I would have thought there would be a strong incentive to hire more in the UK and therefore drive up wages rather than continually pump money back in silicon valley.

"We leave LOTR feeling for the most part satisfied by the story."

I leave LotR feeling terrible pain, loss, and sadness: the main protagonists are forced into exile to another world (planet), Valinor; they can never come back; the fate of the mortal ones (Bilbo, Frodo) will forever remain unknown, they have to forever part with their friends and family, and Middleearth remains behind bereft of elves, their beauty, grace, and intellect. How this is a satisfactory story I am incapable of fathoming, not because any one side won, but because the ending raises even more questions than it answers.

I think what's worth noting is that users in general are less and less exposed to the concept of files and directories. Let's face it. The computer most students use are their smartphones. Everything is sandboxed. You never ever select a file path. It's more about context than location.
Thanks, that's perfect for my use case!
Selling something before you make it is highly unethical. You have no idea if you can actually make it, so you run the risk of committing fraud. Additionally, such a strategy could only work if what you're making is very simple. If it's complex, is your customer really going to be okay with "please sign here and we'll get it to you in the next year."

Have a dream. Turn it into a vision. Make a business plan. Create an MVP. Then go try to sell it and listen to the feedback.

I'd you're wrong, then suck it up and deal with the consequences of failure. Failure is never fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts.
It's not capitalism because authoritarian states aren't cutting emissions either. Capitalism gives the people with money what they want, autocracies give the people with power what they want, and so on, and not one single distribution of getting-what-they-want is going vegan and cutting emissions to zero. The only remaining conclusion is that nobody wants to go vegan and stop emissions.

If you want a government that does that, you would have to give all power to a small group of people like you. That would never happen because there are so many groups with other immense interests that if you are going to let one "win" and control everything the odds of you winning are almost nil. The only option is to somehow get more people to want to change everything.
The one thing that gives me hope on this, is that lab-grown meat requires about 95% less land, energy, and water. If we can get it cheap enough we could put most of our farms out of business.
Ip based lockouts as opposed to account based lockouts do better against cred stuffing. Because there is a cost to getting more IP adresses. Maybe carrier grade NAT would lead to too many false positives?
Are you saying there is some qualitative difference there, or just adding work examples? Do you use the scare quotes to mean people who come to the US to work cleaning hotels are victimizing US citizens by doing so? Or that you disagree, because I’m wrong and people who prep sandwiches and clean apartments are more to blame for their unlawful employment than their employers?

Why would it matter that they're indoors? I’m really confused by what you choose to emphasize.

I find it unlikely that agricultural employees make up .5% of Central American immigrants in the US at any given time. That figure sounds low.

But it's not you who are releasing this version... Node.js calls 18 months LTS, then 18 months is LTS for Node.js. I believe Node.js does not follow SemVer, and if they do it's very, very strictly (like, a tiny change that affects 0.1% will be a major version, but there won't be changes that affect 10% unfortunately). So upgrades are very safe and shorter LTS are okay.
Story is much more complicated than that.

It takes far more fertilizer and irrigation to produce food for mass-produced meat. Well-maintained pasture has diverse plants year round soaking up a small amount of CO2 versus land for corn that is plowed under. And land for ethical meat often has trees to shade the animals. Mass-produced meat requires highly intensive cleaning of stalls. And for things like beef, it is still unclear whether one diet or another produces more methane, which is a huge portion of the climate impact.

Then there are things like what is done with the manure. In a well-managed factory farm, it is digested. But there are tons of stories about polluted rivers near factory farms that make it clear that often isn't the case. Those polluted rivers result in algal blooms, which is a whole other matter.

Basically, a statement like "more resources to ethically produce meat" confuses the price to a farmer of producing meat with a calculation that incorporates all the externalities, which is a whole lot less clear.
I do not have one on one as they are of no use. I believe in informal communication and trust.
All three points you mentioned are true for large parts of physics research. The point is: Not so for LIGO.

The data is open, the code is open.
They even had Jupiter notebooks doing the later parts of the analysis when they published the first detection.

And, one cannot overstate that while the black hole mergers might have been bogus for some reason, the neutron star merger as been observed by over 80 different experiments in all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.
My high school physics teacher escaped from the region fearing for her children's safety and future. I have to disappoint you that the story is not about a Uygur woman escaping from the horrible CCP re-education camp, it is the complete opposite - my high school physics teacher is a talented Han Chinese woman who escaped from endless Uygur terrorist bombings on Han Chinese civilians.

She told me that a full bus of students from her school were killed in a Uygur terrorist attack. Sadly, they didn't have access to any guns to defend for themselves. There was no government intervention under the banner of autonomy. For people like my physics teacher, the only viable choice was to leave the region and reallocate the whole family to Han majority places.

To be frankly honest with you, CCP has probably 95% support from we Han Chinese on those re-education camps - the other 5% are probably asking for even tougher policies. You can paint Muslim as a peaceful religion or whatever you want, Han Chinese don't buy political correctness. Your attack on the Chinese government on matters like those re-education camps are being considered as the proof that CCP is working its ass off protecting the interests of all those non-Muslim Chinese citizens.
This shouldn't be down voted. While photonic-bandgap fiber can approach speed of light in a vacuum (to ~99.7%) it is not commercially deployed in any volume AFAIK, and standard fiber propagates signal at only about 70% of vacuum. Starlink will of course involve a minimum fixed distance penalty of a few hundred kilometers on each leg and some amount of inherent constellation bounce penalty each sat. Even so over distances of a couple thousand kilometers or more having the signal go near maximum (even up/down, air is not vacuum but with an index of refraction of only 1.0003 is damn close) vs 70% actually looks to be quite significant. I see no reason while standard fiber couldn't be beaten even under optimal point-to-point conditions (like NY to London, around 5500 km) if they were able to get it up fast enough in the near term.

And that's point-to-point from an HFT viewpoint, whereas of course in most situations fiber will not be even close to taking a direct route between locations. Even if photonic-bandgap fiber got deployed for transoceanic or continental backbone links Starlink could still of competitive practical latencies if the satellites are orbiting low enough and impose a low enough overhead.
I've done all of the following at various points, and announced that it was for environment reasons:

- Gone vegetarian

- Bought a tiny used car instead on new one or one with more space.

- Moved to a neighborhood where I could walk to work.

- Declined for my employer to send me on an expenses paid trip to a conference 2000 miles away.

This has had ZERO effect on the behavior of any of the witnesses. And if I voice too much disapproval of people's ecologically destructive behavior, all that will happen is that I will be branded as some weirdo puritanical eco-prude, who's opinions and values are too fringe to be given any weight.
>I've heard speculation that women don't argue for higher salaries as much as men,...

It's not just arguing for higher salaries but being trusted to follow through when "the going gets tough".

Display of confidence is hard to distinguish from actual capability. Confidence is often mistaken for "can-do-spirit" or "positive attitude" and therefore always favored.

Women are more honest than man about their abilities in the workplace. They are more honest about previous experience in a job interview, and more reluctant to "fake it until they make it":

Excessive confidence displayed by men regarding their ability to follow through even their chances of success are equal to women, leads later to the assumption that the man knew what they were doing (and knew in advance that they will succeed) and hence men are seen as having been in full control the whole time. But actually it's hindsihgt-bias.

If that's the case, I'm not going to feel bad rejecting this offer.
People repeat this line ad nauseum but i find it hard to believe work conditions would not improve over time if not for the presence of unions, look at highly unionised countries vs less unionised countries and compare the quality of life / workplace for an example.

while i'm sure unions were involved i doubt they were the only reason we started reducing work hours and improving work conditions, here's a good history of the 40 hour work week: (https://www.businessinsider.com.au/history-of-the-40-hour-wo...)

My point is - there's zero guarantee that a "logical" algorithm would be "fair". Just like if you trained an ML algorithm on the database of people currently in American prisons it would most likely conclude that black=more likely to be a criminal, which is obviously an unfair assumption to make.
This. It's the reason why the heavy hitting products in this space (MarkLogic, OpenLink Virtuoso, AllegroGraph) are all scale out products. A graph can get HUGE very easily.

I don't think mass veganism is going to happen but it's clear that as climate change worsens, veganism will only continue to grow in popularity. Comments like yours are slowly convincing me that investing long-term in the vegan industry is a good idea.
