Sorry mate, you have good points but they don't justify the reasoning.

If a person is being harassed by a colleague and they're not cool with it, then the next step is reporting it and trying to get that person out of their life.

> You cannot be physically violated by words, but I don't see the value in making that distinction.

Maybe I can point out the value for you... Americans and humans in general have an inalienable natural born human right to say, in general, whatever they wish. There's value in human rights. On the other hand, any kind of physical touch can be interpreted as assault if the recieving party doesn't consent.

> Why does it matter if he hasn't escalated to committing the acts he threatens yet?

Because expressing their rights to speech isn't illegal. Not only is it not assault, but it's not even close to assault. You're miles away from actual physical assault. In terms of logical progression.

Edit:

> for some women a physical assault can be far less violating than a daily campaign of verbal harassment.

Can you explain this, because I'm entirely unconvinced.
That commenter should've said the yield is driven down. The US government wants to borrow at the cheapest rate of interest. If more people want to lend to them, they have more options and can pick the cheapest option.
That's pretty dismissive? I know loads of smart people that run stuff with web apps, even headless, and do just fine.
It's not a cause for alarm per se, but the inverted yield curve means that the bond market is feeling pessimistic. Rate inversions often happen before recessions, but they're not a fool-proof indicator.
What US is doing with Saudi Arabia is a travesty of its own. All that effort we're spending to goad other countries into an Iran embargo should really be a KSA embargo.

Here's a graph plotting the 10 vs 2 year spread:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y
Treasuries (i.e. bonds) are issued for different terms, such as 3-year and 5-year terms. Typically longer term treasuries have higher yields because you're loaning your money for a longer period.

The Yield Curve™ is the difference between the yields of two treasuries -- in this article it is the 5-year Treasury note minus the 3-year Treasury note. When this difference is negative that means the 5-year note has a lower yield than the 3-year note.

Investors typically want the highest yield possible, so they'll invest in the 3-year note rather than the 5-year note. A negative spread (difference) can indicate that investors are more confident about the short-term than the long-term.

Note there isn't really a single "Yield Curve". You can take the spread between any two terms of a Treasury note -- e.g. the 30-year and 10-year or the 10-year and 2-year notes. The Federal Reserve provides a spread for the 10-year minus 2-year: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y

I think the post was referring to individual projects, not group dynamics, but your point is certainly true of group situations. Sometimes aspects of the group harm the group's ability to reason or behave rationally.

I'd argue that even in a one person project, information becomes available gradually and one must learn to re-consider old conclusions again in light of new information, even to re-consider old questions that might have been easily dismissed earlier.

Human rationality is biased by our use of the heuristics that take a few milliseconds of brain time and work pretty well, but have failures when trusted too much when we have the luxury of more time to consider the information. Even things like a member of the group asserting something confidently can throw off the rational faculties a bit.
I came across this yesterday and have been quite impressed with its customization. My previous attempts with automated time tracking through programs like rescue time involved lots of fiddling and not getting much work done. With this, after reading some notes in the documentation on Effective Use of arbtt (http://arbtt.nomeata.de/doc/users_guide/effective-use.html) I've got a pretty useful time tracking app that's not distracting and only gives me the information I want.
If milk or honey can be considered to be part of a vegetarian diet, then presumably unfertilised eggs can too. Roughly speaking, at least in the UK, if you don't eat dead animals you are vegetarian, and if you avoid all animal products where possible then you are vegan.

Mind you, the only people I know who have eaten human placenta all classify themselves as vegan.

a better way to understand the causality between yield curves and recessions is to look at it from the perspective of the banking sector ... banks/lenders primarily borrow short-term and lend long-term. They pay depositors short-term rates and earn the long term rates on loans. If this carry trade turns negative, it makes it difficult to make money lending, they get more conservative and collectively they tighten credit conditions on the economy as whole.
Very Bad Wizards and The Black Goat. Both are oriented around the intersection of science, philosophy, and psychology, if you're into that sort of thing. (VBW also will occasionally do a "just for fun" episode where they philosophize about popular films and such.)
I don't think it's that - US Treasury Securities are always regarded as being nearly as safe as cash.

But, in a recession, the stock market tends to nose dive, which prompts a lot of people to flee to fixed-income securities because they're viewed as being safer. Which would also drive down yields.

I think the more interesting question is how fast Apple can get its own radio hardware online. I think the switch to Intel is just a softening-up tactic in the battle with Qualcomm, which is really about licensing their patents at a reasonable price-per-chip for Apple's own 5G (or 5G+) implementation.

It's not clear how long Apple has been working on a baseband controller, but it's not something that can be done quickly. I doubt it'll be 2021, or even 2022. But it's a significant non-Apple component with plenty of room to innovate, so it seems inevitable that they'll tackle it sooner or later.

In the meantime, they'll use Intel's hardware until they get a deal with Qualcomm. No-one buys an iPhone to have the latest-and-greatest technical specs: the lack of 5G won't hurt them in the short term.

I mean, there's no "requirement", but historically their movements correlate with each other closely with a small amount of offset.
b might not be so insane if you consider that tumblr is used by a lot of people who posts selfies. That would include a lot of teens/tweens. The problem with selfies is that they wouldn't be in anything like photoDNA and thus impossible to catch by any of the modern day algorithms except for the ones designed to catch porn in general. They might not have any better solution (of course they would ban stuff as it was reported, but that might not be good enough) and apple's move forced their hand. Guess the question is what caused apple to do what it did now.

Senior Software Engineer - The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js, with work in progress to switch to React). There's also growing amounts of Python, particularly for endpoint scripting, and a tiny bit of Rust.

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

(Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but Director TAM is not a people-managing role.)

The Mythical Man-month has:

- aged extremely well in some ways (it still takes 9 months to make a baby no matter how many women are assigned to the project)

- aged poorly in others (disk space is no longer an issue when deciding whether to comment on code)

- remained ahead of its time in others (its a good idea to have an architect to ensure the conceptual integrity of a complex system, rather than to have developers hack it out a bit at a time in a series of scrums)
Quite the stretch. Ok, I give up: if it is demonstrable that a given person has traveled near the speed of light and thus aged significantly differently than the rest of us, that person should be allowed to legally change their age.

That's happened zero times thus far, so I stand by my original argument.
Except people who watch porn also buy Cheerios and Volvo's - I've never understood why such a massive market is always immediately ruled out in such an ad hungry world.
"Good" and "bad" aren't nuanced enough terms for the discussion. What has happened is a classical indicator of a recession has emerged, because investors are demonstrating pessimism about long term bond yields compared to near term bond yields. This does not mean we are presently in a recession, nor does it mean we are necessarily entering one soon. But the indicator has historically correlated with recessions (consistently since 1970 if I recall correctly).

A better question for you to ask is this: what does my investment portfolio look like and when do I expect to withdraw from it? It's healthy for economies to go through credit/debt prosperity cycles, but this will be concerning for you if you (among other things) plan to withdraw a nontrivial amount of your investment fund(s) in the near future. If your employment situation is stable and you're not planning any large withdrawals, this is probably not something to immediately worry about. If you work in an industry which benefits from greater volatility, this might actually be beneficial for you.
