We've had this happen as well, with that same company.

A different company tried to pull a bait and switch on us: excellent screening interview, but they sent an entirely different person to the second round.

It's crazy out there.
Sure, I get a lot of value from those emails. But I'd prefer the company that is sending them to be paying for the right to do so, and not circumventing the restrictions of a free email service.

I have no doubt Google will discover this and block the service, and we'll all be better off for it.
Well, kind of. One could argue that you can't un ring a bell. Your child can always publish all their childhood stuff if they decide to later on.

Not really. Jurassic Park is a good movie, the framing, editing, script, fx work, performances, music all come together really well.

Birdemic is a bad movie, in that none of the individual components are good and they don't complement each other well at all.

I'd argue that both are interesting

FWIW, I wrote up an alternative proposal for hooks that was based on pure functional programming patterns.

It's more complex but doesn't resort to the impure functions like hooks which cause the same order/conditionals rules.

Interesting... this post caused me to finally look up what "delay" in the user settings does. As you might assume, it delays visibility of your comment for that number of minutes. I wrote this 2 minutes ago, see you in the future!

In a professional capacity they are. As individuals they are not, but even still they toe the line.

While we revere the Founders for being outspoken of the status quo. Contemporary leadership relies on it.

And note where I said it’s hardly scandalous.

I was really just contrasting it with another posters view of their culture. American culture relies on hewing to what leadership finds emotionally true.

Nice of y’all to white knight for SCOTUS though. And get all technical with me, as if you’re educating a moron you don’t even know.

Like I said this forum just plays to its emotional biases like the others.
You should be doing this anyway as part of your integration into the culture. East Asians are smart - they name their children Jason Wu, Lucy Wang, Winson Ho from birth.

It is, in fact, a self-replicating unit of behavior.

I vouched for this comment — previously it was flagged and you had to have showdead enabled to see it. The last sentence is a tad aggressive, but no more rude than statements from the person they're corresponding with.
Haha, you are right. I think there is clear proof that it is more complicated than a simple ranking involving points and time. Anything beyond that is mere speculation without clarification from the mods.

I am surprised that the Indiana Supreme Court ruling basically upheld that the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to states in the absence of specific SCOTUS rulings. Can you imagine if individual states felt they have the right to suppress free speech or the press?

I read the official decision from the state court[0] but it's a bit dense for me to get through. It seems like a legal punt, of sorts, in the hopes that SCOTUS would pick up the case.

I'd love to hear someone more qualified break down the state decision.

The Anticompetitive Effects of Low Interest Rates
Do you use text processing to identify spammers or can it spot things like forum slides (inflammatory comments designed to trigger a reply cascade and push other content aside)? Any API for researchers?

It looks like an excellent Disqus alternative and goodness knows we need more of those.
What is the "US big market"? We have developers on the East Coast, West Coast, South Coast, North Coast and even in the middle of the country. To be fair, we also have digital nomads, and we do not really know where they are just that their code shows up in the repository, and they are present in the video conference, albeit sometimes with some odd background noises.
We cannot imagine anything more of a perk than be able to work from anywhere in the world. Compensation is based on home office where ever the programmer chooses it to be. There are some sweat shops, some average 80/20 shops, and there are some posh, research programming jobs. Perks, salary, and QoW very much depends on company.
This may be true, but also it's one of the most dangerous times to invest in S&P 500: there hasn't been a recession for more than 10 years, which is pretty unique. Of course this is not a problem if somebody really takes a 50 year view.

The legal fiction of corporate personhood does not grant them all the rights of a natural person. For example, in SCC Acquisitions, Inc. v.

It's more like having considered it, I have no idea why they would care. A picture of me as a kid is essentially a picture of some other person who is five years old. When I see a picture of some five-year-old kid I don't think "Wow, they might feel terrible if they knew I could see this."

Maybe the sleepy baby girl from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTCQpjUrCe8&index=147&list=L... will grow up to be really shy and feel that wasn't her best angle. That strikes me as a personal hangup, not some constitutional right we should all be protecting her from.

It's funny how heated I can get about the notion "there are people whose reaction _isn't_ 'meh, why not?' What's wrong with them?" I'm like a militant meh-why-notter.
Yeah, it's super uncomfortable for me when I see religion mixed with/imposed on politics. I cringe when I hear someone quoting chapter and verse in a political context, having that be the whole basis of their opinion, because a lot of that knowledge they rely on is ancient/dead.

Your spoonful of sugar observation is just human nature; people love to spout memes like they're so clever. :)

Where we might disagree though is that I believe society, laws, and justice need to be predicated on moral codes. And so it follows that we all need to be able to speak the same moral language fluently.

We should be informed by relevant moral teachings in the bible, primarily, and then great philosophers and legal scholars secondarily. What's "relevant" needs to be hashed out through extended civil discourse; it can't be imposed and have any hope for acceptance.

I mentioned the bible specifically because it is a high quality doc and liberates the reader rather than shackles with its moral codes and message, which to me makes it unique and worthwhile.

This isn't being priced not marketed at the masses. This is for technophiles; people who like to be on the bleeding edge. Not everything needs to be perfected and 100% utilitarian. Sometimes people just want something because it's interesting and for now I think this falls into that category.

Also, it's basically a phablet taken to the next level. Some people will find the use in that.
I really like cVim[0] for this. Think there's a couple of extensions for Firefox that accomplish the same thing.

Also, I've met quite many office workers in France and Korea that would be very interested in your service. They regularly have to make powerpoint slides in English. This kind of presentations can have a big impact on their careers, but they struggle because of the language. They sometimes call proof-reading services. They are high-quality but not flexible. You have to send them the finished document and cannot make last minute modifications. Maybe, the companies could even pay to make it accessible for their employees (or embedded in an powerpoint). Foreign branches of international corporations could be a good target because the communication between local workers and the HQ is always problematic.
The NBA is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. We have this article that talks about the refs not making the sport fair. Franchise players are given leeway that would not be shown on a peewee court. And then this is complemented by last year’s article about which plays the players say they are actually going to participate in.

The NBA has become an entire Randy Moss organization: I will play when I want.
Drupal Patch Critical Remote Code Execution Flaw in Its Core – Update Now
"The issue is that China is pursuing an independent foreign policy instead of following America's lead."

The issue is mostly China grabbing international waters like the S. China Sea as sovereign territory, grabbing Taiwan, pressuring Japan and neighbouring states, and building what will eventually be a string of military bases throughout East and South Asian oceans.

The US, in comparison, makes sure that everyone - including adversaries like China, Russia and Iran - can navigate the Suez, the Panama Canal, Red Sea, Arab/Persian Gulf, S. China Sea, Straits of Taiwan etc.

There would be zero problems, and US Navy presence in Asia would be minimal if China wasn't trying to hustle this outside it's borders.

And FYI Americans do care about authoritarianism, and there is constant pressure on places like Saudi to reform (and FYI there are steady reforms), though yes, it's very secondary.

The paradox is that China is pursuing a macho 'we're the local king' strategy much like Russia, when for it's own benefit, the military escapades are not fruitful. Maybe in China's case there are some advantages, though almost none in the case of Russia.

The new Belt-and-Road strategy is an example of a good project that will have immensely positive results for most players - shenanigans aside. Nobody is against any of this, we are all for it, except for the shifty things like debt-traps to grab ownerships of ports, which will eventually be Chinese navy bases.

China will continue to pursue the authoritarian entrapment of the citizens of HK and Macau, and of course Taiwan, which isn't good for anyone really.
Hi had heard a few stories like this here too but I figured it was people doing spamming or gambling or something like that. We are a biotech startup and also around $1k per month with our usage, and it was completely shocking.
That’s like claiming any knowledge is a meme. Kinda destroys the meaning if it just means any time someone repeats a fact.
State Supreme Courts can't incorporate parts of the constitution against their own laws, this is the role of SCOTUS. It's not a matter of will or desire; it's a matter of jurisprudence.
These days there is so much statutory law in the developed world that this distinction is fading away. Yes, it’s technically possible for a common law court to grant a new form of relief that isn’t derived from legislation or binding precedent (eg. the Mabo decision in Australia), but these days the common law is really a ‘god of the gaps,’ and if the courts aren’t satisfied with the common law remedies available 200 years ago or created later by statute, they have very little power to create new remedies. Of course, written laws are always open to interpretation in both the common and civil law system, and that’s what happened in this case (the written law being the U.S. Constitution).
I find this argument a bit weak. Ratification of an amendment is a big process and I find it hard to believe that no-one realized the implications of the 14th amendment beyond it's impact on former slaves. People realized the implications, and went forward with the text anyhow. Otherwise, you have to assume that everyone involved was just completely ignorant to the implications of the text written as is, which is a claim you'll need to provide a great deal more backing for me to believe.
Are they going to pull ads from the Oscars which celebrate an actual child rapist like Roman Polanski?

Also, Nestle peddles sugary drinks to children and Disney peddles toxic movies to children. Since when does either company care about children?

I guess this is a win-win for children. Youtube cracks down on pedophiles and Nestle/Disney stops peddling their toxic product to children.

Edit: Also, Nestle and Disney have children in their ads. Are they going to stop exploiting children and using their ads to lure pedophiles?
Eh, having others edit comments attributed to us is weird, regardless of the context, I can see why people would get defensive. At least SO shows the editing user pretty clearly, on Github it's almost invisible.
Hello author. Really interested in checking your page but, 504! So here is what you can do:

Copy all your static assets to another server[1]. You can use a cheap digitalocean server or any vps really. Have them served using nginx.

This will relieve your main server from all those extra connections and it can focus on your application.

And use some caching mechanism. Memcache drivers are available for many languages.

Good luck

> East Asians are smart - they name their children Jason Wu, Lucy Wang, Winson Ho from birth.

Most examples I know of that actually have both a westernized and a non-Westernized name, and quite a number that I've known who used the Westernized name primarily in public as children now use the non-Westernized name as adults.

(Also, a few that I know that use Westernized names have stereotypically Black Westernized names, which retains the advantage in parsing/pronunciation of Westernized names in general, but not the social advantages of stereotypically White names.)
Can equilibrium not exist in a dynamic system? Think vapor pressure - the particles can agree on temperature but still be trading positions between gas and liquid.
I don't know about other providers, but I don't how the handling of any false positive from flagging is to not give any warning beforehand, destroy all instances, and not even give a courtesy mail after destroying all instances and locking accounts.

Amateur machinist here. I don't care about guns, so it would probably take a mistake or two, but I have zero doubt I could make a rifled barrel on the tooling down the block at my local makerspace. It isn't hard at all. (QC and repeatability are different topics, I'm not talking about commercial manufacturing.)

I can't do it in my garage, because I don't have one. My machines have to go up stairs in an urban walkup, so they're too small, and as mentioned, I have no interest in making guns anyway.

But yeah, a lot of people have both the skill and the means. Remember that people started making rifled barrels in the 1500s, a little while before we had CNC or overnight commercial-grade metal delivery.

Are the digital nomads all Americans too living outside the country? I've noticed most American companies only hire American citizens for remote work -- due to tax or similar issues.
This is the original meaning given by Dawkins in The Selfish Gene. The word ‘meme’ is more than a repeated fact – first, it doesn’t have to be a fact, and second, it suggests that our culture is the result of evolution in an environment where memes are selected for reproductive fitness (‘virality’).
The cost of "just being honest" over learning some subtlety.

I'm smart, I'm competent, I know what I'm doing, and, most importantly, I know how to get you to come along with me willingly.

If that fails, well, I know how to say something that only becomes devistating once I leave the room and I'm better friends with all your co-workers anyway. Come at me.

The people you saw fired lacked that final quality. They bought into the narrative that our field is a meritocracy and that's a downright lie. They poured all their effort into their skills and ego and left zero room for learning to navigate office politics. They deserved to be fired.

Various websites, shady forums, tor sites, and 'hacker spaces'. Sometimes that includes white/gray hat haunts for exploit code. Pastebin like sites, github.com, etc. 'darkweb' and OSINT searches.

I am sorry if this sounds dense: But if you are sending the emails from server side, how are you getting to the user credentials / gmail login 2 step verifications etc.?

I am assuming you mean you send from the client UI but the extension talks to your server for scheduling the future sends etc. in which case you shouldn't have that much network bandwidth.
> agree with the child posters but they don't really answer the question of why $1B is important for the valuation in a way that, say, $990M would not be.

Brand value / free marketing. Hitting the 1B threshold unlocks a lot of publicity that 990 million doesn’t. The buzz that it generates aids both sales and recruiting efforts.

I wonder how some nervous passengers might react if they learned the pilot decided to enter a turbulence area on purpose.
My problem has been with people assuming a context, and an intent. I keep repeating myself, but a comment on a cat playing with yarn ball video linking to another cat playing with yarn ball video doesn't seem different to me than comment on a girl eating lollipop video linking to another girl eating a lollipop video.

These videos exist, people like to watch them, but I don't see people assuming the intent is for people that have some cat with yarnball fetish to share it with others that do, as the context. Nor were the children eating the lollipops intending for anything else than having fun. There's nothing wrong with either, other that people assuming why people upload videos, watch them, timestamp them, or share them.
Also often links that get mentioned in the comments of the original one.
a company's valuation performance has always had a causal effect on business, even though academically it shouldn't.

banks found that out the hard way at the end of 2008, when companies wouldn't do business with banks with falling stock prices. even facebook found out the hard way after IPO when its stock was tanking and many tenured employees where questioning whether to stay. stock / valuation performance matters a lot.
The US Supreme Court decided many decades ago that the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply wholesale to the states. Instead they held that each right has to be analyzed separately to determine if it should apply to the states. This principle is called “selective incorporation”.

At this point most of the rights have been incorporated and only a few have specifically not been incorporated, most notably the right to a grand jury indictment. The excessive fines clause was one of the stragglers that hadn’t been decided either way. (The third amendment probably never will be decided.)
>Thomas Jefferson advocated for a system that would allow future generations to reasses it’s Constitution and laws, and adjust as necessary

And that’s exactly what we got. I urge you to look into what the legislative branch does and look into constitutional amendments. The system changes all of the time.

Based on your description of the GOP, you sound upset that the country isn’t more socialist. That’s hardly related to the representatives having the ability to change laws.
