> I ended up having to quit.

wow. that sounds like a really bad situation. i mean, did you quit because of an ongoing threat of violence from this individual? the company should have offered other remedies before it came to that.

I've used this strategy consistently for things I don't like, works great!
Don't understand why more people don't consider it.
They aren't there for you but for the company. They are really only there for you in any way that protects the company. Having a neutral third party would be one idea. It would have to be funded by employee and employer contributions though. Outside of that you have the EEOC in the US that has some authority.

which isn't bad because all the processing is done client side anyway.
Isn't this like the one component of an application design where you really do need it to be instant? People get confused because invalidation doesn't happen often. But you also don't use a fire extinguisher often, and you get those checked all the time to... wait, bad example.
For those unfamiliar with the tech can you give numbers to frame your scaling challenges. Performance issues is too broad for me to rationalize in a meaningful way without more specificity.
The touch screens are horrible, but their resolution is more than fine. You need to press harder for your touch to register.
> I also think no one would object to Saudi sheikhs if they were to immigrate.

Considering the amount of distaste for anything Saudi in most people I see across several countries around here I very much dispute that.
Anything other than a static site for a personal blog is madness imho. Personally I found writing markdown and using a Makefile and pandoc to generate the site to be good enough.

If the lag of pushing to Github to see your changes is annoying to you, you could just install jekyll and a simple web server locally to generate the site on your machine without having to push and wait for Github's magic to work.
> We evolved to adapt to our environment and we are not some kind of 'final form' that we are stuck with forever, we are still evolving.

As a species we are evolving, as an individual you are not. You can argue that humans might become herbivores in the next few 10,000 years, but don't expect to see it in your lifetime.

I also would argue that the individuals who are trying to consciously work against where we've evolved from will face some negative effects, even if their intentions are good.

> the two incisors do not have to determine anyone's diet.

We actually have 4 incisors and 4 canines, for a total of 25% of our teeth. In general teeth are a good indication of what a species eats, since the teeth and the rest of the organism evolved together. Teeth are also a fantastic indicator of the health of the individual, anthropologists use the rate of cavities to tell how healthy the individual and society was.

Coincidentally, vegetarians have a higher rate of cavities than the population at large.

> Now if you don't want to be be a vegetarian fine but don't tell me it's impossible because that's just not true.

I would kindly appreciate you not making up what I'm arguing and putting words into my mouth. I'm not saying humans are obligate carnivores, I'm saying they're omnivores. That means that we can survive off plants, I just think it's a bad idea.

> Firstly, this isn't some weird ploy to boost ad revenue.

Everything Google does is a ploy to boost ad revenue. That's the whole business model.

> Without a doubt, it's being enforced for the first time due to some large account hijacking attack that has proven impossible to stop any other way. After so many years of bending over backwards to keep support for JS blocking users alive, it's presumably now become the weakest link in the digital Maginot line surrounding their network.

You're doing two things here:

1. Reasoning from no evidence, and ignoring a much simpler reason in the process.

2. Acting like the honest web users, the ones blocking malware-laden JS, are the ones who are wrong.

It's much simpler to conclude that Google engineers simply got lazy and decided to punt the hard work of security to some JS library, instead of looking at it honestly.

Your counterexample is an unrealized future hypothetical utopia. I am not sure where you are going with that, but I am sure that isn’t a “success” because it doesn’t exist yet. That is just a simple question of logical validity not of empiricism.

10,000 data points is well within the range of what Excel can handle without needing PowerQuery. What type of analyses are you attempting?
Opposite perspective time.

Dr. So and So sometimes is a local. A local who has hard data collected fairly regularly since ~1950 that shows that Chesapeake oyster/blue crab/whatever populations have been in steady decline due to a combination of over-fishing, and massive increases in nutrient levels due to runoff. And yet many water-men resist any sort of limits on catch and fishing methods tooth and nail.

You are probably right in some cases, but "locals" are nearly always the bloody problem. And when you leave them alone, without intervention, they tend to completely destroy whatever resources are near bye. Look at the coral reefs in Cuba for instance vs the protected reefs off the Florida keys.

I'm not saying the having a PhD makes you correct. There are tons of arrogant idiots out there and some of them are definitely wrong, but when the two sides of the argument are leave it alone vs don't leave it alone (and also maybe stop dumping so much chicken poop on your crops), I tend to think that leave it alone is the healthier option a good percentage of the time.

I made this post because I have seen this attitude before so many times, and it is so often combined with a willful ignorance of the situation. The government doesn't spend an obscene amount of money raising and releasing oysters so that "natives", who are often no more native than the people raising and studying the oysters, can scoop them out of protected areas, inhibit the process, and claim that nothing is wrong and they know the bay better than those arrogant scientists.
violence is a part of human nature, too, but the technology of the atom bomb multiplies the danger for us all. So too with these newsfeed algorithms, which favor engagement above everything else, no matter how base and degraded the content is.

I've been thinking a lot about this interview with Jaron Lanier, and I'll just share an excerpt because I think it provides some insight: "The problem, however, is that behind the scenes there are these manipulation, behavior modification, and addiction algorithms that are running. And these addiction algorithms are blind. They’re just dumb algorithms. What they want to do is take whatever input people put into the system and find a way to turn it into the most engagement possible. And the most engagement comes from the startle emotions, like fear and anger and jealousy, because they tend to rise the fastest and then subside the slowest in people, and the algorithms are measuring people very rapidly, so they tend to pick up and amplify startle emotions over slower emotions like the building of trust or affection." https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/delete-your-account-a-co...!
The government is creating issue after issue for themselves.

Just another example: EU citizens in the UK automatically get "permanent residence" status after 5 years (if the meet a few requirements). They can apply (with a fee) to get a certificate from the Home Office.

It would have been very simple to decide that these would automatically convert to the new status with the existing certificates accepted as proof.

But, no. They will have to apply again as described in this article...
Success is the selective measure. Not the prerequisite. The prerequisite is a population that changes over time relative to the selective pressure.
>Then after the forest service or BLM phds have fucked things up

>The PhD environmentalists came to dominate the forest service

What forest exactly? Because this reads like a really bad forwarded email.

Most BLM "PhD's" are from the area they're protecting. They don't shift them around all over the country. Like, I'm not even sure what lead you to think that.

Your arrogance is not as good as someone else's knowledge. And that's all your post really gets at. "I've lived here my entire life, so clearly without devoting any actual effort to studying the ecosystem I know what's best because hey, the trees look pretty good to me!"
If you cannot lie to law enforcement it makes it a lot harder to overthrow a fascist regime for example.

"Do you have any intention of overthrowing the government?" - "No" - beep, and now you're in a forced labor camp
I wonder if the comment about "selling our users" is a swipe at Yahoo!, Google (https://www.google.com/photos/about/), or both.

Does anyone have data on how Google Photos generates revenue? Is it just a mechanism to upsell Google Drive storage quotas? Or are they also mining the photo meta data?
hi ;)

I guess that depends on exact use-cases. Below-a-minute is fine for tightly controlled environments, but publicly-used web-apps usually have a sweet spot with TTLs between 10 and 60 minutes. More requests = shorter TTL, less requests = longer ttl (as it would be counter-productive to have more auth-requests than data-requests)
Do a majority of public high school teachers still enjoy pensions, three month breaks a year, and legendary job security, or is that going away as well?
holy shit. i hadn't seen that before. HR seems to have been completely captured by the forces it was supposed to resist.

I agree. Hadley Wickham (a very prolific author of important R libraries) wrote a great paper about this method using one of his libraries. I'm a Python + pandas user, but his paper really helped me understand the approach better: https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/plyr.pdf
Plastic-busting fungi may help tackle pollution, climate change: UN Environment
Yes, rickjr85 is right, in the way that a single point can occupy one side of a Venn diagram.

What's funny to me is that even your response I read as very negatively conveyed. But just reading it word-for-word, there's really no sort of animosity whatsoever.

But to the main point, I didn't mean to imply a side to the argument the article makes. I didn't even read it. It was meant to be isolated to the context of the parent comment. Yes I know that's nonsensical given we're all commenting ABOUT this article.

We should never do something so stupid as to get rid of Google or Twitter. Forces will act as they must to create these technologies. People will run them as they will, and they'll be influenced by other people, which may direct the impact of the technology in question.

That's a long-winded way of saying next to nothing. Rather than there being some kind of alternative technological method, it would go farther to address the issue if people just all implicitly understood that free speech is built into all technology, and built under the constraints of law.
Google dominates search, but also dominates e-mail, mobile devices (less so, but still a major player), and is heavily involved in many other tech verticals. That they dominate isn't the problem.

That they are leveraging their hegemony across all of these verticals to drive their main source of revenue, advertising, is where the concern comes. The fact is it is nearly impossible for a non-entrenched player to enter into the market without either being drowned our or bought-up by one of the big players is where the monopolistic concerns arise.

Hi if you loooking for good solution for extract data. I can recommend https://parserr.com/
No. The discussion here is about using JWT for sessions with web clients.

If you’re registering a dedicated client id and secret for each web client, they you’re doing something wrong. If you’re doing this and then also using JWT, then you’re doing something really bizarre, and still wrong.

Id/secret pairs can make lots of sense for integrating partner services with your API. They make no sense for web clients, where you should be authing a user and not a client.
> Bakery

> multinational baking conglomerate

> keeping other developers from ever being paid for developing the software in house

Sorry if miss-logicing in these quotes. Please do correct if you thing they're taken out-of-place.

A bakery is commercial. They software they use is baked into the oven and POS. 'family bakery' - do you mind a family member in the store, do you mind them logging it with your name? Do you mind them using a camera to recognise when you come in? Do you mind a staff member recognising you when you come in? Is tallying today's weather vs sandwiches sales OK? Credit card promotion? Different level of Personally Identifiable Identification.

> What I do mind is someone using my software in their multinational baking conglomerate without me ever seeing a cent for the work

Why not? What's the license? Assume in Github. Ask for comments. The people in these companies are hackers too and not cold-blooded fuck-the-customer. If you're got good code for baking, contribute.
What if we created a new government organization to fill where we find that the police is not the right party to address illegal behavior. We could call them peace officer which mediate in disputes with power to fire and discipline people with the exact same requirement and behavior that we want out of the perfect HR department. This way we would raise the standard to be equal for all people that are employed regardless of company.
HTTP basic authentication (of course over HTTPS)? Very simple to use and all the tools, such as curl, support it.

It is used even by fairly large scale services like Twilio[1].

Also their "desire for education" could play a role somehow. In french migrants suburbs the scools are battlefield because the parents dont teach them basic discipline.
No, you don't control the client. The attackers do.
Is there any discussion about making it easy to sell prints? I'm an amateur photographer and have had several people inquire about prints, but I never know what to say because I have no idea how to make prints, nor do I have a lot of time. I know Yahoo had a WallArt program, but it seems to have failed, which is strange since it seems like most pro photographers sell prints.
Jin Yong is Louis Cha's pen name, which is most famous name amoung his readers. It's also a split of words in Chinese of the last character of his real name 镛. He was born in a famous Cha clan in Zhejiang province of China. SCMP's article[1] has richer information about Louis Cha if he's unknown to you.

Essentially, he is the biggest influencer in modern Chinese martial artist literature, pop culture, entertainment, TV shows, movies and online games in the last half century. Gen X and Millennials in China almost all have read/watched at least one book/movies/shows originated from Louis's 14-novel creations.

His novels has deep connections with Chinese history from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty as well Chinese traditions, this is probably why he doesn't have many western readers even though his works have been sold 300 million copies worldwide (mostly to oversea Chinese).

Looks like the commission is running this as a pilot.

As always your contact will be via your MEP, who appoints the commission president (based on the fact the EPP was the largest party in 2014 and Junker was the presidential candidate of that party)

I kind of want to build one of these amps and connect it to a set of speaker built with these cheap exciters... One of the Youtube channels I follow messed around with them https://youtu.be/zMCyF400l1c but he got that from this other video https://youtu.be/zdkyGDqU7xA where he goes into all sorts of experiments he ran on the exciters to find the right design.
If you haven't noticed humans are yet to value facts over emotions.
I think it is poor judgment to create an organization that does nothing to secure its people from sexual harassment. Not sure why you would disagree but if that is what you intended I do not want to work for you.
