I am not familiar with your situation, so the following questions you should ask her/yourself are:

1. Does she really want to learn to code, or does it come from you?
2. Can she write any code? Does she have trouble with just defenitions or coding in general?
3. Maybe JS isn't for her? Maybe show her Python or another language? What I mean is that maybe syntax is a bit confusing to her.
4. Has she tried any books? How does she learn other stuff most efficient?
5. Maybe just let her code and search for problems on the Web? Maybe you are trying to teach her too much stuff at once.

IMO give her more space and help only in the most critical errors at the moment. Let her code, code, and code. You could help her by creating some snippets or cheatsheet that she could print and use next to a keyboard.

When I was first learning Java (at college) I had trouble with understanding a lot of concepts and it took me a long time to finally grasp them. Don't think about that clickbait articles that are all over the internet about people that have learned to code in a few months. They are just clickbait articles, that's all they are. Learning to code is not easy, it takes time, for some a lot of time. If it was easy, a lot more people would be programmers and that's not the case.
Ahhh. They aren't keeping the logs, they're merely forwarding the logs to another "non-associated entity" (giving them legal cover), and storing the logs there. Makes sense. They can advertise "we don't keep logs" (we meaning the corporate entity itself) so they have legal cover, and they make the three letter agencies happy (and thus are allowed to continue to operate)
I agree with you, not only that, this kind of thing often happens with privately held companies.

I take "seeing beyond legalities" to mean ignoring the law, not changing it of phasing it out. Ignoring the law is bad, even if you think you are doing it for a good reason.

Modifying the law or phasing out a law is fine and smart people companies should do that. I felt like the OP was saying that when you think a law is wrong you should ignore it.

> The proposal of Marxists is that they take things away by force.

Breaking a law in most cases is taking something away from someone or some entity, whether it is rights or property. It is bad to take something away by force. But it is bad to take it away by stealing or cheating too.

I run Wireguard on my systems and to my knowledge it does not log anything on my Linux systems (not that I intended specifically to set it up that way, it is just something that I noticed). Can you tell me where I can find these logs which I am seemingly unaware of? I do know that my iOS app logs things but I'm talking about Linux.
Maybe, but it does open up the door to a lawsuit. What if the overweight guy was actually working for a recruiter who had a scam going on to get unqualified people hired. The skinny guy might not know that someone else took an interview for him because it was all a plan by the recruiter. In this instance you're punishing someone who was acting in good faith, but had the misfortune to find a corrupt recruiter.

Better would be to use the legal system to recoup your costs. This way you don't accidentally recoup your costs from an innocent individual with zero oversight.

This is a bad test. The alternative to algorithmically target ads is not totally blind ads, the alternative is direct ad-buying which targets based on context.

Buying ads on the NYT Health section is a form of targeting. It's also a much lower noise targeting compared to programmatic.

This is a perfect example of the original article's conclusion: you simply don't know what you're talking about.

You might be vaguely aware of hybrid vigor, which is of crucial importance for many crops, especially cereal crops, and is a major part of the 'green revolution'. Hybrid crops have driven much of the yield increases we've seen over the past several decades. This is due to a very specific phenomenon called heterosis, and is still fairly poorly understood but is known to be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. That is, it's not a magic combination of traits or more heterozygous loci, but a genome-wide phenomenon that affects gene expression in ways that are generally favorable to growth.

But! You're confusing this with sterile or semi-sterile inter-species hybrids like mules, or perhaps sterile triploids like banana. These are completely different phenomena that have nothing to do with 'hybrid corn'.

Corn of all kinds that see significant cultivation is perfectly fertile, Monsanto products included. What you don't get is any hybrid vigor in the F2 generation, only the F1. There's nothing about the IP or companies that make this the case, it's fucking biology. You can seed-save all you like, you won't run a farm like that because you won't make any money. Even if you aren't using transgenes (i.e. 'GMOs'), you'll still use seed made from directed crosses from parental lines known to produce hybrid vigor when crossed. Seed saving ended because of this, not some loony conspiracy about 'evil' seed companies.

One confounder: Terminator seed. This is a technology that does make F1 seed sterile. Oddly enough, this was done for reasons of environmental responsibility; if you make your transgene products terminate, the transgenes can't spread into the environment. Unfortunately this technology was never commercialized because of reactionaries like yourself.

As for genetic diversity, your impression has no basis in reality. Breeders have only become more zealous about gathering wild accessions to use in breeding programs, namely for disease resistance traits. These programs would be wildly more effective if, instead of back-crossing for many generations over many years, you could simply pop in the relevant loci in a transgene. But that's another foolish pipe dream due to the reactionaries.

Final point; you're aware traditional crops have just as much IP protection as transgene crops, right? Plant variety protections last in the 15-20 year range, are respected by most international treaties, and are ubiquitous in crop breeding, ornamental flower breeding, etc. Utility patents provide slightly different protections for transgene crops, but it's not much different. Those trendy apples or 'Sunshine raspberries' at the grocery store? 100% patented. Why is your trendy beer so expensive? Patented hops. It fucking boogles the mind that anyone thinks transgenes have a thing to do with this.
It's back now. Definitely worth a look. Been using bitwig for ages as it works beautifully on Linux and I'm really excited about version 3. Nice to see the project progress in such an amazing way.
here is a different perspective:

illinois should concentrate on not worrying too much about what consenting adults do in their spare time. Until recently, even happy hours were illegal.

The actual best argument against UBI is that if you used the total of US government Social Security, Other, and Nondefense spending (At least portions of them seem to be UBI-replacable) on it, divided by the population of the United States (326,000,000), you end up with about $7,000 per person, per year. If you take the entire budget (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#/...) of $4,000,000,000, you end up with $12,000 per each, per annum.

$1000/month?
I think everyone is tired of being ripped off by out of date copyright laws and industry shenanigans. The music industry is full of blood thirsty lawyers, big ticket prices, unjust YT algorithms, and death by a thousand cuts with all the monthlies from music streaming services. I for one am fed up with this oligarchy and am happy to see services like this pop up from time to time to remind me that technology will continue to displace these brokers until it murders the middle man entirely. I look forward to that day.

In other words, be like the soviet union, communist china, british empire and nazi germany? Governments should decide what is fake news? So every 4 or 8 years, we are going to have a new definition of "fake news"? No thanks.

I can't believe there are people advocating for government censorship. So we are okay with Trump shutting down CNN? And then in 2 or 6 years when another government comes into power, they'll shut down their version of fake news?
I don't disagree at all, but query languages like "SPARQL" and "Cypher" are no where nearly as approachable as the query by example like syntax of "GraphQL" (resolvers aside).

My feeling is that GraphQL has opened up a pathway and other than that I personally did not observe any other kind of sea change in the graph database landscape.

The original 1950s amp designs are FILTHY. Fender had to develop the whole blackface line to try to get loud, clean sounds. A Champ or a Tweed Deluxe cannot hit enough volume to play with other instruments without some distortion. The sound of rock records is often the sound of old 1950s small amps, cranked up.

I have a 1950s Supro 5 watt (similar to a Champ) that hardly has a clean sound in it. By the time the volume is at noon, it sounds like what you imagined a wall of Marshalls sounded like when you first saw a picture. Fantastic recording amp. It's that sound, the sound of rock.
I don't think most people think it through that well. I once had a guest stay in our attached guest house where we live and try to sneak in a dog (explicitly not allowed).

Depends on the workplace, and specific behavior.

At my current workplace it is perfectly fine to bring in your laptop and continue work in a meeting. The context is that this is an engineering organization and everybody is cranking on their laptops all day and we expect work to get finished. In a meeting you are expected to pay some attention though, and contribute. It would be rude if a high-level executive were running the meeting though.

It is rude if you are completely engrossed in your laptop when somebody is speaking to you directly. One fellow (now gone) would sometimes ask a question to me and then become engrossed in his laptop when I replied. That was rude, but rare. And it is just basic listening skills.

At my previous workplace we generally didn't allow open laptops in meetings, and that made more sense as there were more meetings with other non-engineering groups that didn't have the same work culture.

If you frame it as a simple question, then sure almost everyone would say tax someone else at a high rate and they will assume they will pay less tax. But, if you go by how it actually will work out in the real world... Ask if you support a 70% tax on the highest incomes, if it results in less tax being collected on high incomes and MORE being paid by the lowest incomes, then it probably would not get such a high percentage. Need to lower the tax rate for higher earners, so that everyone works harder, pays more tax and yet gets themselves into a LOWER bracket. If you want to tax something, tax luxury goods and contributions to political candidates.

Synopsis: In 1979 Iran entered into a deal to purchase arms from the United States. Then Iran had a power change and the United States reneged on the deal but kept the $400 million payment. Eventually the United States and Iran negotiated a return of the money for slightly more than an inflation adjusted value, around $1700 million.

Opinion: From Iran's point of view, this was an extraordinarily risky "investment". If the money had been in the DJIA it would have appreciated to $29000 million and been at less risk. Discharging the obligation for only $1700 million seems like a huge negotiating win for the US.
Laws are meaningless though USA has a law but it really just is a hurdle.

NIH Public Access Policy 2008 (Within 12 months the public must have access of all publicly funded research. (NIH = National Institute of Health)

The law is bellow:

"The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, that the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law."

The NIH Public Access Policy is an open access mandate, drafted in 2004 and mandated in 2008,[1] requiring that research papers describing research funded by the National Institutes of Health must be available to the public free through PubMed Central within 12 months of publication. PubMed Central is the self-archiving repository in which authors or their publishers deposit their publications. Copyright is retained by the usual holders, but authors may submit papers with one of the Creative Commons licenses.

Three times Congress has tried to over turn this rule and academic protest keep the law in place. Sadly I still think most don't know about it.
Because the article is not much more than an elaborate wall of buzzword bingo and name-dropping. Nowhere does it answer the question it imposes on itself, and explains how a "yes" could be a serious answer to the question. Where they mention 2018, they talk about the knowledge graph, not graph databases. Nowhere does the text go into depth about why traditional database might not be suitable to the task of "[combining] quantitative and statistical bottom-up analysis with qualitative analysis based on expert-provided knowledge". It's a text-book example for Betteridge's law.

Well in Sweden (which is where I live), at least one case I know of where I man video taped him having sex with women in his apartment didn't get any repercussions for it since it's perfectly legal to film someone in your own home without them knowing about it.

It is illegal however, to share that film without consent or video tape outside the apartment. You can video tape with your camera moving around in a public space without permission, but same here you cannot share it online or something like that.

I agree with these rulings and I think it should indeed be legal to video tape inside your own home. It's very illogical if that wasn't the case.

Which of them completely displaces means-tested welfare to provide the support floor for all who are in the eligible population. Social Security doesn't. Pensions don't. Being idly rich might, I suppose, in that that is just “living of capital” but ignoring all the people who don't have a lot to live on.

> And they're a segment of the population. To study the result of a population receiving a BI, there's plenty of data.

Not relevant to UBI there isn't. Some segment of the population receiving income varying a Ross indiciduals based on their past work and investments isn't even loosely similar to the whole population of a community receiving equal unconditional UBI, and there is little reason to expect the former to provide much insight on the latter.

> Oh, and now they decide they don't like you even though you've gotten to the stage where they flew you across the country??

Why is that surprising? E.g. Google flew me on my interview as a student kid with pretty much barely any screening (and yeah, as a student I also didn't have nearly enough money to buy a ticket home from Zurich airport on the spot at that time - with 150EUR of scholarship income, it's hard to have a few K EUR at hand on your credit card).

Skepticism is warranted here (it's entirely possible that the post is fake), but this isn't an impossible situation if I think of all the petty vindictive garbage humans I've met that led companies.
Yeah, it was definitely a set of images [0] that made git click for me, but even those are not necessarily the best pictures to use.

Git's mental model is basically:

> Ok, what if we took our SVN repository and the first thing we did was check in an SVN repository to that. So now you check out the repository, and you get a complete local repository that you can do anything you want with!

> So Pull/Push are the terms we use for the check out and commit of your local repository to the remote repository, and then Checkout/Commit works from your local repository just like you're used to with SVN.

And the real magic is what they did by building a system on top of this model to let you merge changes all the way up while looking at the code like you'd expect you'd need to.

The problem is that git's toolchain still feels arcane to use, and it requires that you have good working knowledge of the underlying models. It's confusing enough that you can't function unless you have that because you don't know where you are or where you're going. It's a fantastic tool, but it's like driving a car with two steering wheels, two gear shifters, and six pedals. Then you say to yourself, "How do I get to the market, buy some milk, and come right home?" and your brain starts to melt a little bit.

You shouldn't need to know the nitty gritty of how git works internally just to get it to work right any more than you should need to know how a disk works in order use a file system, but over and over we keep seeing that knowing that is really the only way to use the tool correctly and that it takes quite awhile for people to get.

We use a graph database at my company (OrientDB, having migrated from Neo4J). I don't really know what we need it for, aside from giving the graph database guy something fun to do. We also use Postgres as our main DB. As far as I can tell, we could implement our graph as standard Postgres tables, and it would work just fine if not better. Plus, there'd be more than one person who knows how to query it.
Solution: Disallow inheritance of company shares.
