Many people here have echoed the fears and complaints I've heard on this topic. Simply that somehow taking parental leave at all puts you at a disadvantage. Or puts you in a position where you have to explain yourself.

I feel like what is being done here is to [ironically] force an equality of outcome on every metric _except_ the one that swings the argument.

The very nature of equality of _opportunity_ means to me that it doesn't matter at all that I took time off. Am I qualified? Do I have demonstrable expertise? References? Education? A unique perspective?

You may be generally curious about my year off but the idea that it somehow invalidates _any_ of my other qualifications feels silly and limits my opportunity based on external factors which don't impact my ability to do the job. It's just that you don't seem to fit the world view of others so it's suspect.

_This_ is the complaint: that a talented professional coming back to the work force loses out not because of ability but because of violating social norms.

Re Ellesmere port. We will have to see. Brexit is a massive unknown. But hopefully wont be by 2020 (ha). But 2020 will probably be an election year so I'm not sure that the Torys will want the factory closing 'due to Brexit', so I'm sure some big juicy 'grants' will be offered.

With good tooling, it is arguably a lot easier to understand than a synchronous microservices architecture, because of the persistence of events.

Begging for money in the street is even more flexible — no car required — but I doubt you’d say those doing so are satisfied.

Whenever money is involved, free will goes out the window. It’s naive to think of all these people as rational actors.
Comparison-based sorts have O(1) complexity on the size of the elements being sorted. I.e., comparison between two numbers is a single instruction assuming numbers fit within a word. Even if you assume very very large numbers then comparison would be O(k), where k is number of bits needed to represent a number. So a more accurate runtime of O(nlogn) algorithms should be O(k.nlogn).

The runtime of this algorithm is O(n.2^k).
I think the point was more that Explorer is a single program doing two wildly different things with little overlap. While what should/shouldn't be divided into multiple programs is very subjective, I doubt you'd find many programmers that agree that the functionality of the file explorer and the taskbar should be the same program. It's also confusing to users who tried to access a non-existent network share, and their taskbar locks up [ignoring the fact that neither of the programs should lock up anyway].
For the Wizard of Earthsea books, there's an afterword (at least in the later editions I have around the house) where she says she just sketched out the map first even before any characters, and filled it in with the stories as she went.

If anybody wants to do this to their own GMail account without putting trust in a third party, this is pretty easy to do with the little-known Google Apps Script. You can write JavaScript that will run on Google's servers and do whatever you want to your account. (I use this to archive various automated emails if I haven't bothered to look at them, to keep them from cluttering my inbox after they're obsolete.)

Here's a script which I think should do the job, assuming you have a filter set up to move all incoming mail to a label called 'hidden_mail' (warning: untested!):

function checkMail() {
GmailApp.moveThreadsToInbox(GmailApp.search('label:hidden_mail'));
}

Just create a new project on https://script.google.com/ , paste in this code, and then Edit > Current Project's Triggers and add a trigger to run checkMail() on whatever schedule you want.
I love the design (or lack thereof) of this site. Courier font plus the old scans of photocopies make it feel like i'm reading an old xeroxed white paper (in a good way).
I'm confused. Can you identify where I didn't do that in the comment that you decided to disagree-by-downvoting?

I'm quite tired of being warned of drawing conclusions I did not draw, while taking 10-15 karma point penalties. From my perspective, I'm receiving overwhelming feedback that even questioning these programs at the level of efficacy is unwanted and I should be silenced.

I can't really work out how these votes are actually reflective of a disruptive presence in the conversation, unless the idea is to avoid asking that question in any capacity.

> There exists many theories as to why this is happening, we should identify the data we have and determine the most plausible theories based on evidence and research. That's the only rational way forward.

Then I find your response to be disappointing. If the goal is an open debate, shouldn't we actually question these base assertions that underly and inform the statistical machinery of the study?
Tail call optimization is more or less unimportant, because you can express any recursion with iteration and most of the time the explicitly iterative version is even safer and better. TCO only adds zero-cost for recursions based on tail calls, that's nice to have but recursion is a bit of a hobby-horse of CS professors anyway. It only makes sense in languages that have their own stack, i.e., have no hard stack limit except for your main memory, otherwise you will run out of stack space soon. Iterative versions of functions are often easier to understand, too.
Well, it's subtle, right? That presupposes they're an incompetent idiot, and if they are, I agree: you should just publish a full disclosure.

A lot of projects/companies fortunately are not staffed by incompetent idiots. I'm also not saying "never disclose to the company/project". It's what I do 100% of the time if it's worth disclosing and I don't have prior evidence that they'll react poorly. I'm saying researchers have no moral obligation to do anything.

What you learn from failure is to move on, to not get stuck when something fails. You can't learn that from successes.
I've looked into this myself. Unfortunately it's not practical.

Firstly, there are a number of different chemicals you might test for. Secondly, for chemicals that are dangerous at 1ppb only gas-chemotography / mass-spectrometry can detect that, which would cost upward of $500 per test per chemical and be done at a university lab.

Might be more practical to only drink filtered or distilled water. Normal water filters do a shockingly good job with most chemicals, not sure about PFAs.
Those, in my experience, are the same people who can't switch browsers. They aren't capable of learning new things, and can often barely keep going with what they have.
I'm curious about that too. We use a RO system, and so far I've only replaced the carbon sediment filters. I'm a year or two away from replacing the RO membrane cartridge. I cut them open when I replace them, I always wanted to do some kind of chemical analyses of the filters. Visibly they're just brown and saturated with rust from old galvanized pipes our building uses.

Some of the advantages vs using your Mail app to do this are:

1. it works across all your devices (as works at the gmail server level)

2. you can set exceptions (e.g. email from mygirlfriend@gmail.com should always arrive immediately)

They lose the entire notebook. The thing is, they only need login credentials a couple of times a year or so. Things like social media and email are apps that are logged in all the time so they only need to reauthenticate when something is wrong or when a special event happens (like buying a new phone). So that only leaves a thousand different boring things that they only rarely access, like the government ID, the utility company account, the insurance company account, etc. So every time they have no idea where that particular notebook is among their tens of other notebooks, pieces of papers etc.

> * If a site stores password data in cleartext or weakly hashed, your master password/passphrase can potentially be cracked.

It all comes down to the threat model you are defending against. The threat model I'm defending against is automated attempts to catch me reusing the same password with different accounts.

Even if you were defending against a motivated actor putting human eyes on your passwords, something like`XXXXXXsXXXXXXsssXX` where the X are reused across sites and the s is a derived, site-specific chunk is a) as good as completely random until your adversary is manually correlating multiple leaked passwords for you and b) not trivially obvious to derive once they are correlating multiple leaked passwords.
> Philosophy is not science becase it does not work.

I'm slightly amused by this statement, as modern science is descended directly from philosophy. Indeed without philosophy, I could easily argue there is no science as we know it.

The only thing our world needs now is a reorientation away from growth at all costs into a mode of life that values the simple, the close by, the cheap.

I don't see this guy giving a damn about that problem. Instead he tosses off bon mots about Popper and Gödel, and intones comfortably that in his view his peers have the right idea because they converge on atheism/agnosticism. Wow. The world is saved.

There is a class of people who value a "small life," the kind we all need to adopt: zen monks. Unfortunately, such people are afflicted by the disease of irrationalism in their ideas about God, or some similar concept that offends the sensibility of the excessively rational so much that they can only paint Belief in the most lurid colors.

Highly unfashionable to study such people. Instead, a professional philosopher keeps giving interviews, attending conferences and publishing papers. I'll be glad when we can no longer afford them. I also apologize for my lack of charity but there it is.

It can harm small organisms at the very least. Things like zooplankton can have their bodily processes interrupted by ingesting the materials. This indicates it can result in death: http://www.ices.dk/news-and-events/symposia/zp6/Pages/Effect...

I'm really glad that you pushed out this app, I was looking for something like this. On the other hand, I'm really curious about how you'll make money. I signed up, but if you were asking for some money (either monthly or app purchase fee), I'd feel more secure.

We test for things that are really dangerous (e. coli, arsenic, heavy metals, etc.). If microplastics were dangerous like those things, it would be pretty obvious by now.

I think that blames the victims a bit too much, it's analogous to "people need to stop buying food in single-use plastics" - I would put the onus on the manufacturers to fix their products and their distribution, rather than the end users.

Carbon filters clean up "some" of them, but not all. Reverse Osmosis is better if you can afford it.

The filtering really should be done by the city / government on an industrial scale (like CG did in the article) where it's not only more cost efficient, but also their responsibility.
My point isn't that we should just accept this, just that it's already in the food supply.

I don't see the confusion. I'm saying its inconsistent and arbitrary. You're saying it is not.

I'm providing an example as to how it is inconsistent (friends experience) as well as an a priori rationale for why it's arbitrary (e.g Googliness is a fuzzy criterion that allows interviewers to make any arbitrary call).
One useful difference is that you can set exceptions (i.e. email addresses that you want to receive emails from immediately).
The question about which concepts you should use and why (and the arguments supporting them) might be a decent philosophical one.

"Too much baggage" isn't particularly well defined, though, nor is it a strong argument to say that some people relate consciousness to spirit or soul (some people also use terms like "momentum" or "norm" in imprecise ways but it doesn't keep practitioners for whom those terms have precise well-defined meanings from deploying them effectively).

"we should use different concepts... All are concrete and well defined"

Or perhaps we should use concepts from clockwork engineering or mill machinery. Very concrete and well defined.
OK, technically. Maybe. In reality Softbank worries about their reputation as managers of other people's money.

PLUS, Softbank wants to raise more funds in a year or two. So Saudis do have a lot of say, IMO.

Song lyrics are not safe https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/there...

I don’t know exactly where the breakeven point is, but there is some point where a song lyric or other phrase provides less entropy than a relatively short password.

Bottom line: use a lot of random ascii characters(at least 14 or 16, or 4 random words) and you’re probably set. Use less, or a found phrase and it’s not good.

Why I like passwords (and various key locked/unlocked with passwords? Simply because I can change them, I control them.

Biometrics is unsafe by design because our body can change outside our control and our body is public enough and unchangeable enough to be a REALLY unsafe authentication system for anything but human being interacting together.

External other-factor auths like OTP, side verification, port-knocking, ... are good, but they still need a password somewhere in the chain.

So no, it's not only a matter of reactionary users not willing to change but also a matter of rational safety reasoning.
Hustle != Struggle. The original meaning of the hustle culture is that you creatively find your way into an expected result, often creating value along the way.

For example, instead of simply spending money for advertising, you create a valuable piece of content and share it in places your audience hangs out. Then repeat this and be consistent until you get to a result.

Instead of using quick and lazy methods, you achieved something, often creating value for others along the way, and the whole activity was a 'hustle'.

You can hustle 9 till 5 and be done with it. Though, I do get that if you were more persistent and focused on a result, this can easily become 9 till 7 or 12.

So yes, while the term in my opinion was a positive one, it is worth being cautious when explaining it.

The age of the spectacle was roughly 1900-1970, the years during which there were World's Fairs that captured the world's attention. The 1964 New York World's Fair was probably the peak. The 1960s had the Apollo program, probably the biggest spectacle operation in history. "We choose to go to the moon... Not because it is easy, but because it is hard." - Kennedy.

Today, spectacle, such as it is, is on screens. Watching the CGI Marvel Overextended Universe doesn't really compare. We see some exuberance in Asia, with fantastic urban buildings. (What do we get in SF? The Salesforce Tower. Oh well.) Shenzen has a celebration going on where all the big buildings downtown are lit up with LEDs all controlled together. It's very Blade Runner.[1] The closest thing we have in the US is Elon Musk's Space-X stunts.

this... makes no sense strategically (though i understand your apple fandom). apple is a consumer electronics company. banking is a completely different industry, and a heavily regulated one at that.

apple's move here is to use applepay as a platform to allow other companies to do those things. they're executing that strategy quite competently. they won't (i.e., can't) ever become a bank (consumer, lending, commercial, or any other kind).
