If this bothers you, consider fighting back. Submit as many DNA samples to as many firms as you can find. Send each sample from a different [consenting] donor, and ask that they do the same and include you among their donors. This action at scale dirties the data sets of all the companies involved.

So in your view who are the principle agents pushing for the backstop?

As of today? The EU and particularly Ireland, though I think it's a fundamentally flawed strategy that probably will not result in the outcome they are hoping for.

The practical problem for the negotiators is that it was an idea that originated from the UK, so it's very hard for the UK to now turn around and say they don't want it after all, even though it has become the true red line for getting the proposed WA past the UK Parliament and into effect.

US Labor law doesn’t allow tip theft, and changing pay rate dependent on tip value is clearly tip theft.

Restore your Credit
I want to sincerely thank Ghost for a great job which he delivered on my bad credit report. I applied for a mortgage loan couple of weeks back but wasn’t qualified. The issue was that I had bankruptcy and tax liens to dispute, and the companies dropped it off my record. After surfing through the internet for help I read about GHOST on a credit repair website and other blogs. I contacted GHOST and explained everything to him to cut the story short he fixed my credit raised my scores to 740, removed tax liens, eviction and bankruptcy off my report, He also increased my credit limit and credit leverage. Still surprised at how it just happened within (6 days) and easy to push the dispute button at the credit agency website with this Specialist. You can get connected today and start your repair via text (205) 418 0498 or mail at GHOSTVIRUS@WORKMAIL.COM and worry no more on buying a home with low credit scores or getting a job with bad credits.

I work with Azure daily, my company uses tons of IaaS on all cloud providers, very dynamically. I'm mostly concentrated on Azure.

First I want to say, thank you for your service, keep it up, there is a lot to be done, but I see progress.

Secondly, please, get your teams together and start communicating. We encounter a lot of issues with things that should just work or should be much simpler. Sometimes we contact support and just get handed from team to team without actually finishing something.

Third, please, oh, please, get your SDKs (especially the Python one) fixed. It looks like every new build breaks something, sometimes even the same version on multiple installations since there is a lot of variable versioning done under the hood...

Sometimes I get a feeling a lot if things are "leaking" towards the customer. Wanna change an instance type? You get a "instance not available in cluster" error, or something similarly undocumented. Wanna copy a snapshot between regions? Good luck with that, and hope you've got some retry logic and a hell of a timeout.

Keep pushin'! :)

Job Interview with Virtual Recruiter
I am the founder of a startup. We're making AI solutions for enterprise customers. We are currently working on a product for candidates. This is a virtual assistant that can interview the candidates, answer their questions, tell about the company, the team and much more. The interview takes place through video via a browser or mobile app. The candidate can practice before the interview, pass a test interview. As a result, they will receive feedback from the assistant: which questions they answered correctly and which did not; the analytic report of their speech; where they had long pauses; the moments when they looked confident and in opposite quite shy, etc. We are using different machine learning algorithms for doing it well. What do you think? Does this kind of tool look useful for you?
How would it let you frame convenient suspects? Surely you would need to place that suspects DNA at the scene, in which case you already have it...? Where does the database come into this?
Here's the bad news: there is no such thing as unbiased news. For example:

> I don't want to subsidize the stories I don't care about.

You, as the chooser (or editor) of stories are introducing bias already, before any reporting is done.
it is wild to me how many people are in this thread saying "Snopes is partisan" or "Snopes is biased" or "Snopes is not a real fact checker" and who are also entirely unable to provide any actual evidence.

A link to an article on the Federalist (laughably partisan) is not "evidence" any more than pointing out that they have fact-checked satirical sites is. https://reddit.com/r/atetheonion is a thing for a reason, and in every post about Satire Snopes goes out of their way to highlight that they are responding to Satire.

Your own biases are showing and it's kind of a bad look.
I can kind of see where you're attempting to go with this, but even then, it seems more like the fault is on Facebook and not Snopes. At best, maybe create a "false-by-means-of-satire" (to differentiate true or true-ish ones that are satire) flag so that if a site is going to just scrape the result ("false"), it doesn't screw with perception, but again, that's on Facebook.

> The part that says a satire article is "false."

it doesn't say that a satire article is "false", it says the "claim" is.

> The part labelling the following sentence a "claim":

> "CNN invested in an industrial-sized washing machine to help their journalists and news anchors spin the news before publication."

I'm confused here. Why is this an issue? They are going to fact check whether the claim is true or not. In this case, appears rather than prove CNN didn't, they're going with the "it's satire, people" approach. As is a vast majority of their content, it isn't about the site hosting the content so much as debunking the "claim" to include the initial purpose of debunking/confirming urban legends.

> The part where they instructed FB to stop allowing people to see this satire piece because it would spread misinformation.

They instructed Facebook? Seemed more like Snopes funnels FB data and FB does with it what it sees fit.

> The part where they knew their actions would go a long ways to potentially destroying the ad-based satire publication.

They provided data. Again, kind of on Facebook in this particular case.

> That's not fact checking.

I think they do a fine job fact checking. Where they probably overstepped was in thinking or at least agreeing to the prospect that their data was ready to be made sense of by a non-human user: I can go onto the linked article and can easily infer that CNN bought a washing machine to spin news is bogus and I can also get from it very obviously that the original post it comes from is a joke in the spirit of The Onion, Hard Times, or any other parody site.

And actually, back to the "false-by-means-of-satire": I don't think that'd work. Reason being is that I imagine it is the message "CNN buys washer to spin news" that is labeled as false. Whether someone linking to the original parody or if I created jsgosnews.cc and copied the original's content as a quote (with attribution. Actually, just kidding, because most of these "fake news" sites don't include original attribution as it'd probably expose themselves as bogus too easily) and linked to that. We know the original was stated in jest, but what if mine is claimed as if it was dead serious and that CNN really did this. How does the false, but satire work now?

Again, at least in my opinion, Snopes is doing it the right way. Maybe they need to rethink how (or even if they will ever again) be a fact checking data aggregation service, but I don't see a solution to allow it to truly be the be all, end all solution. So as such, I think they should just continue doing what they're doing.
They just solved the murder of a child near my house using a technique like this.

My understanding is they asked everyone they could find in a specific ethnic community if they would volunteer a sample for a kind of dna dragnet.

The killer was related to one of the many people sampled.
I've had some iffy experiences doing that with FB, Google and Azure.

Azure wouldn't even let me use my actual main number because it happens to be a google voice number and they actively block voip numbers (seems they look up the CLEC info somehow).
But they do say “all tips goes to the driver”, and the worst part is that they _aren't lying_. Some MFA was reading that statement thinking "how can we claw that one back", and came up with the clever idea of guaranteeing a minimum rate. In other words, they can now say "all tips go to the driver" and "drivers are always at least paid X amount" and not be lying. They just don't disclose that they only pay the driver _if the tips don't cover the minimum_. It's a very clever way of taking two positive statements that sound good to consumers and employees and finding a money hole between them.
They also change the HTML structure. There's no selector that works well when the data, structure, class names, and IDs can change between page loads.
I am writing this from my personal Windows 10 machine and I am not a big fan.

Random things that have aggravated me just in the last
few days:

* For some reason I suddenly had to create a pin a few days ago to login instead of my password. why?

* skype is now magically in my list of background programs.

* There is news in the start menu when I want to launch an app!?

* whenever I want to do something a little hard, like copy a large number of files, things tend to go pear shape very fast.

* It's very hard to find basic settings from the start button search thingy. Chrome OS and OS X are way better at that.

* windows shell still is unpleasant, and the goobuntu subsystem just isn't convenient due to the incompatibility of windows file paths. Also it's very ugly for some reason

* More generally dealing with Windows drives drives really sucks. I'm always shuttling things around trying to fit them into particular drives. Linux LVM is so much better.

I could go on. I wish they'd just go back to being an operating system. Now that they're not considered a monopoly anymore they're taking the opportunity to jam their whole 1st party ecosystem of crap down Windows 10 users throats. It's not fun for me.

The only reason I pay for Windows is to play games. I prefer Linux as a user, but the hardware and display issues are a pain. I also agree that Windows feels snappier and prettier. Chrome OS with Crostini would actually be pretty perfect if it didn't crash on me every couple of hours.
That's true. Carrier Grade NAT now records NAT log and sends them to tracking servers.
Laws and governments change. They can change radically very quickly. That DNA database isn't going anywhere though.
Right. You've made me do it.

Obviously. I'm asking what you do before that. Do you just throw it away? That's going to piss people off. Do you overwrite the local data? That's going to piss people off. Do you try to reconcile it? That's hard to do and messy, and probably will piss people off.
Options, in the vast majority of cases, are worthless. We can trade anecdata all day, but each individual's personal stance towards options is shaped by their own experience and the experiences of those who they've worked with. I've never met anyone who made any money off options.

With that disclaimer/explainer out of the way, I can say with confidence that I don't factor options into my comp. When an employer gives me options, I say thank you. When they don't, I don't feel upset.
First image alludes to something. Near freezing slightly warmer water is denser. So convection is reversed.

Cooltrax | Senior Engineers | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA | ONSITE but flexible

Cooltrax builds IoT hardware and software to monitor temperatures, control fridges, and track trailers as they transport goods across the country. That might sound simple, but Australians alone buy $120bn of groceries each year and our services provide an increasingly critical piece of the supply chain infrastructure that makes this possible. We operate in Australia and the United States and have a small engineering team with their home base in Melbourne.

We run a global real-time temperature monitoring system covering some of the largest supply chain partners in the world, where you will face daily challenges and demanding timelines that will be your problems to solve. But we’ll give you the autonomy to choose the right solutions, the flexibility to work in the way that suits you (working from home or abroad is possible, some of the time), and the support to handle everything a rapid-paced start-up environment can throw at you. Most of our front-end and back-end software is in JavaScript (or increasingly TypeScript), we’re moving from an Ember.js application to React, our firmware is in C/C++, and our infrastructure is defined in code and orchestrated with Kubernetes. Other technology keywords we use include: MySQL, CouchDB, GraphQL, Redis, node.js, Azure, git, and Jira.

For a more thorough position description, or just to have a chat about the sorts of projects we have here, please contact me at: tom.allen@cooltrax.com. I'm the Engineering Manager here and I'm passionate about building a workplace culture that supports high performance engineering. We have our fair share of problems and legacy software to deal with, but there's abundant opportunity for interesting greenfields work too, with a board ready and willing to invest in new areas of the business.
Can't see a problem here, the car folds down its seats, the warehouse loads a de facto standard mini shipping container before the car arrives, throws it in the car, off it goes. It might even ascend to an ISO standard, not just a de facto one, such things happened before.

What about if I'm more of a folk-rock mini-phenomena? Is this restricted only to rock musicians?
Sure. I shouldn't have termed it as all of the ice melting. I believe the term the paper uses is actually ice-shelf destabilization which is a combination of wash out, melting, calving, etc. leading to all of the ice winding up in the ocean or floating due to retreat of the ground line by melt underneath the glacier. It's happening much faster than previously thought because we didn't have a good way of measuring or modelling it until recently. One of the major concerns is that we don't have a way of preventing melt of the under ice that is causing this because it is caused by oceanic effects. Warming oceans will exacerbate this.

However, Here is the main take away from the abstract. "Antarctica will irrevocably contribute at least 3 m to global sea-level rise during the coming centuries to millennia." That's very fast on a geological timeline but not on a human timeline and it assumes a total loss of the West Antarctica Ice shelf. There are plenty of problems we should be worrying about, many of which are climate related, but there is no use in people here worrying themselves about this specific problem unless they have an interest in glacier science and certainly it shouldn't be impacting their assessment of whether they want to move to Miami in the next 10 years.
Here, I'll break the trend: they are underpaid

It's all relative to how much things cost. Suppose one of these engineers wants to buy a home. Here, somebody of similar skill could afford any one of:

a. new McMansion

b. waterfront property with a boat dock and canal access to the ocean

c. canal access for an airboat

d. a condo literally on the beach

e. 11 acres, sheep, goats, can fire an AR-15 in the backyard

For each of the above, I've had a coworker get it. For half those prices, a house within a couple thousand feet of work can be had. An actual house right on the beach seems possible too, perhaps requiring a 30-minute commute in low traffic.

That is single-income by the way.

So, are these things available? If these would be unaffordable, you're underpaid, no matter how big your dollar figure may be.

My personal model for how to handle the relationship of tech manager vs lead developer (actually all developers) is that the manager should definitely supervise and understand the decisions made. If she has concerns about them, be straightforward with the team, saying "I like x,y,z about your plan but I am concerned about whether we are getting in trouble on A or B". Let the team work out the problem and respond.

If the manager ever feels they simply must over-rule a team lead, it is probably better to replace the lead than to impose a dictat as it indicates a problem working with that person.

When you start to hear the team discussing options and they raise all the concerns that you would have yourself without you saying anything you know they've heard you and are modeling your thinking. That puts the team miles ahead.

I'm a software developer with solid full-stack development experience, focusing on front-end development for the past 3 years.

Currently seeking a Front-End Developer role to work with modern JavaScript technologies.

I'm also willing to work in a position related to Functional Programming, but since I lack commercial experience with FP stacks, a more introductory position would be acceptable.
It's been a while since I have done web development, but to me it sounds like this is a project that will take a year, and you'll never be more than 50% done because the requirements will keep changing.

My recommendation would be not to agree on a fixed price for the whole thing beforehand, because there are too many uncertainties.

First, come up with a rough timeline for the project. Split the project up into smaller parts.

Together with your client, assign priorities to the parts (eg. payment integration: highest priority; user dashboard: lower priority).

Then pick one or two of the most important subprojects, and make a detailed quote for that part. Build the first part, charge your client for it, then build the next part.

After each part is built, reevaluate the timeline and plan for the next subproject. As you work on the project, priorities might change. If you do it a step at a time, you can adjust to changing circumstances.
One reason that high-speed rail in Texas failed was because Central Texas Railroad assumed they could use Eminent Domain to acquire land. Maybe elsewhere, but not in Texas - the legislators lined up against the plan after it hit the news.
It might? Your OP was very specific on the subject and you seem aware that the side is inappropriate:
Few hard taps on the bottom detach the CO2 bubbles and cause them to all go to the top
few hard taps on the bottom (not the side),
few hard taps on the bottom of one (finger-tip with almost painful force)

The actual claim on the site:

Think about all the transitions of "stuff" that an average family with 2 kids will need. Maybe one of those kids is a toddler, maybe another one is a little older and plays baseball. Somehow you gotta pick up the toddler from day care after work (diaper bag, maybe a stroller, car seat), and the older kid from school (books, projects, instruments) and get the older kid to baseball practice (bat, glove, maybe a couple balls). Plus you have your own stuff, maybe a laptop bag. You've gotta transition all this stuff all over the place without ever leaving anything in a car? You're gonna carry your laptop bag, your kid's school stuff, and all the toddler equipment to baseball practice? God forbid you have to do some grocery shopping on the way home after baseball practice. That sounds like a nightmare.
For the small companies because of compliance they can rarely afford.
100% have the team involved. I recently hired for a manager to take over one of my dev teams, had a couple of candidates I was on the fence about, but after hearing the development team's feedback, removed them from the running. A person's manager is one of the most influential people in their lives, like it or not, and it's very important to give people a say in that decision whenever possible.
