Nope it does not.
It calculates the number of offenses per age group and it's perfectly NORMAL the percentage increases as the percentage of older people increases as well:

What you need to prove me I am completely wrong is a subset of 65 years old and older over time, as a single segment, and show me that in that segment there is large increase in percentage. That's not at all what the graphs shows.
True. But I don't think it's a like for like comparison. It's more "these are the kinds of things that sound like they'd be part of an exciting spy story". I mean, if you were to add "beautiful tuxedos" or "high stakes card games" it could be the dust jacket for a James Bond novel.
Again this article shows absolutely no evidence of this. None of the graphs support this hypothesis (since they can be explained in other ways). See my other comments.

There is a difference between a security flaw and insecure by design as with Android. One simple example is how third party keyboards work on both platforms. First the user has to install the keyboard, then explicitly go to settings to use it and even then it doesn’t have network access by default. The user has to go back into settings to give it network access and iOS gives you a big scary warning.

Even then, iOS will switch back to the standard keyboard when you type into a password field.

Every time "design thinking" comes up the responses around here are similar: That's it's an obvious and somewhat natural process.

I think that's part of the point. It's a natural process for creative people with development experience and critical thinking skills. But those people are often not in charge of projects. Those people in charge need these concepts formalised into a process to even consider it. In my experience, many development frameworks come from developers trying to get average managers to sort their shit out.

Bing pays well for anything that drives it traffic, just to stay relavent.
Honestly, I have a hard time with the norms around "worker visas," internationally including the US.

I can't understand the liberal (both right and left) preferance for something that seems (to me) at odds with freedom (as in speech).

On one end of the spectrum we have thingslike middle east guest workers, almost an indentured service arrangment. On the other end, we have SV tech workers and similar elswhere.

What protects the higher earning workers is their higher earnings, which gives them more options and leverage.

Regardless most are bound to an employer, one way or another. They inarguably have much less freedom. They can't make the same choices (eg. work part time, career break). Other choices require bureaucratic approval (change job, start a business, go to uni).

If citizens were subjected to these sorts of restrictions, it would be considered a liberal travesty. Since when is liberty subject to citizenship?

To be clear, I'm not against skilled migration. In practice, i think there would be almost no negatives to allowing skilled migrants (same criteria) their freedom.

100 years ago men were forced at gun point to put on a military uniform, and fight and die in wars. The agency of individuals during world war 1 and world war 2 was nothing like today.

Womens right to vote in the United States was largely pushed around 1910 because the government ran out of men to send to the frontline and wanted to create a draft for women. In order to do so however the argument went that it would not be fair to force women to fight the war unless they also had a vote. If I remember the dates right, in early 1914 the changes was put to the house of representatives but the decision but was postponed and then the war ended. The discussion of a draft for women ended, but the right for women to vote continued and in 1920 the nineteenth amendment was ratified.

If I lived 100 years ago and had a choice between voting and being forced at gun point to the trenches to die, I would not pick voting. Dieing in war is not my cup of tea and the probability of survival was not great during world war 1. A mans life a 100 years ago was that of extreme variance where we remember the few individuals that had many children and lived a long life, and the rest died horrible with no agency and is long forgotten.

I don't really know how that could be done
without massive human rights violations.

At least in my country, there are certainly non-coercive options that could make having children more attractive.

For example, house prices are extremely high in areas with good employment prospects. In London there are literally people in their late 20s and early 30s who can't even afford to rent a flat to themselves. Let alone buy a property with a spare bedroom.

Interventions like lowering house prices in high-demand areas would allow younger couples to start having children with no human rights violations needed.

I think you may have missed my point. What I'm saying is, between a horrible prison and the Ritz, what's the optimum point so as to treat prisoners as humanely as possible without becoming an actively inviting environment? It's only logical to balance the moral responsibility to preserve human dignity with the risk of creating perverse incentives.
My impression is that this is geared towards those trying to enter the industry, that have no academic experience with CS, and not for those already established.

Realizing this, I'd say it's enough. There are plenty of companies that don't even give coding questions, and many more that don't go beyond what's listed in the article. The only exceptions would obviously be what are considered top tier companies such as FAANG, Airbnb, Uber, etc.

> The US tax code has gotten more progressive over time, not less. The very high tax rates from the past were quite narrow in scope, they covered few taxpayers.

That's not how that works. The U.S. has become massively more disparate in income and wealth, which alone would explain why more taxpayers fall into high tax brackets: the middle class is evaporating, leaving a somewhat larger upper class (more high-income taxpayers paying a lot!) and a massively larger lower class (also more low-income taxpayers paying very little), thus shifting the balance of how much the wealthy pay for the poor: with less of a middle class, the wealthier are the originators of a higher percentage of the tax revenue just by mathematics. That's not the tax code becoming "more progressive over time," that's the US having more inequality over time.

But it didn't happen alone. It also happened under repeated tax cuts for the wealthy. The U.S. tax code has become demonstrably less progressive over time, just as the U.S. has become demonstrably less economically equal.

> The US spends the equivalent of 20% of its GDP on social welfare programs. That's higher than Canada and Australia, just slightly behind the UK at 22%.

Right, but that's because the health care system of "no preventative care for the poor, but massive spending on medical procedures once you're already dying" is incredibly inefficient. Single-payer healthcare is cheaper than what we have, demonstrated by almost every large country with it spending less (while often getting better results). It's not because the tax system is progressive, or because the social safety net is somehow better or larger than countries with free healthcare and cheap higher education.

Either the work is done in your country, where you:

* control minimum wage laws etc.,

* collect the taxes,

* benefit from most of the money being spent locally,

or it’s done abroad, where a foreign government collects all the benefits.

Import duties don’t do much to fix that. And if you have most or all of the workforce, then you get to lobby against other nations’ import duties.
I’m not on about the “collusion” accusations (I agree we have still to see hard evidence of this though I’d suggest it may be forthcoming). I am specifically talking about the idea that a Kremlin initiated campaign of influence is the stuff of memes. I also agree to a degree with your assessment of Mr Putin and I am not seeking to imply or promote the simplistic Bond villain caricature (read above, I am not saying this at all). Finally, ref your point about “histrionics”… the concept of “fake news” and its use as a rhetorical tool is, I believe, insidious and I would classify as dangerous in the way it is being wielded. I’m obviously not saying challenging a point of view is dangerous!? Where did you get that from? Why would I come to a site like this if not to have my views challenged? I’m very interested in having my viewpoints challenged, thank you very much. Shutting down discussion with accusations of “fake news” is exactly my point.

> Customers ask providers for a quality product

It's not even the "quality" thing. It's that tests help at delivering the product.

Of course if they tell me, "I need this tomorrow" because of some emergency there is hardly enough time to code for the happy path and manually check that it looks OK. No tests. I make sure they understand it will be full of bugs and we'll fix them later on. This happens rarely but it happens.
I did tests for a keyword I'm interested in and DuckDuckGo definitely doesn't rely only on Bing.

I've brought this discussion up because at that time (4 months ago) the results on DuckDuckGo were worse than Bing's:
https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/9j5f1p/duckduck...

But nowadays they are better for that same keyword. Whether somebody on their side noticed my issue on Reddit and manipulated this particular result, I don't know. But they definitely aren't just a shell over Bing.

Google provides the best results in this case, without doubt. For a software company of their size, hiring some of the best engineers and specialized in ML, I wouldn't have expected otherwise.

I still use Google's Search for double checking whenever I don't find something, but as I said, I increasingly find that for my search queries Google can't help me in finding anything that DuckDuckGo can't.

I don't search academic papers so of course we have a different experience.

I have to admit some confusion here.

Is it that the media companies are going broke because of FB and so they hate them, or is it media companies have vast amounts of capital at their disposal to try and bring them to ruin.

My understanding of media’s situation is quite different, and the downswing started occurring a longer time before FB came around.

First hand I can tell you that they don’t expect to take FB down and return to former glory.

Some are even looking at buyouts to return to more of a startup/reboot phase. Not a conspiracy to stick it to anyone else.
I do frequent a couple of subreddits but I found the quality of discussion to be fairly poor. I might've been in the wrong ones though.
But that stuff isn't mainstream. SO is but not answers like that.

All this fun and weird stuff lives on separate disconnected islands from a practical point of view. Maybe it really has to do with coding becoming more elite - although by all rational means it got easier. On the other hand hardly anyone would dare to upload static html websites anymore without non-trivial css/js. That's a shame.

Maybe this also has to do with the general obsession for super clean and lean code. This design has to be like that as well, same goes for the whole gist of the endeavor.

FWIW shitty forums always have been there, but there used to be a lot actually useful forums. Now those have been eaten up by streamlined and polished high quality web or native apps.
It is very sad that Google+ is going to shut down.

> How would you isolate something like this?

On Navy ships you have a slew of EM radiating emitters, not only from your own ship, but also from other ships that may be close by. For that reason, a lot of time and effort is spent EM-hardening equipment and cables from being susceptible to EMI and also ensuring radiating emitters don't exceed spectrum and intensity limits - whether they're intended to radiate (e.g. antennas, radars, range finders, etc.) or not (e.g. generators, motor controllers, etc.).

Mil-std-461 (downloadable here (1)) tells you how to test equipment/environments to ensure EM radiated emissions and equipment susceptibility are within standard/tolerable limits. If problems arise on a ship, there is shipboard testing that can be used to pinpoint the culprit and then you can mitigate (e.g. ferrite beads, shielding, proper grounding per Mil-std-1310, removing cable loops, etc.).

Sounds like these folks could use some good old fashioned EMI testing.

I understand this is a sensitive topic for you.

The root comment (by your comment's parent commenter) did say that "advocating for direct physical violence" should be the exception to free speech.

And more generally, incitement to crime/violence is generally accepted as the exception to the rule by people who advocate for free speech.

That said, I'm sympathetic to the notion that some people can perceive even speech that isn't outright threatening violence as an implied threat, so I understand that it's a complex issue.

I do think the parent commenter was inflammatory, so please don't think I'm defending everything they said.
while that's generally true (I'm a big believer in the idea that belief is action), trolling is clearly a case where people break away from their usual behaviour. Though in this case it reads to me like the employee is being sarcastic in the face of accusations that FB employees are knowingly and cynically engaging in unethical behaviour. Not that I know for sure, intent is tricky to judge especially over a text medium.
