Beyond the questionable / debatable social cues, this is a potential security risk, and not necessarily for you. One common social engineering technique is to gain credibility with a target's colleagues and friends before attempting to contact the target.

By accepting invitations from people unknown to you personally you could be unwittingly facilitating a social engineering attack on a friend, colleague or co-worker.
There are lots of highly unlikley edge cases that one could come up with... like seeing a crashing aircraft approaching you from behind and if you could only go 5 mph faster you could stay ahead of it before it strikes the ground, while if you go slower, you'll be hit by it or its debris trail or slam into the debris.
You're right, it's not illegal. However, I would say its dishonest. Let's be real. Corporations exist solely to make money. Why should taxpayers fund the winners? Who gets to choose that Google deserves taxpayer dollars and for what reason?

If you read the sales marketing pitch for new data centers they talk about billions in economic viability - if that were indeed true to the extent that the marketing material wants you to believe then corporations would fill that datacenter void and compete with one another to do so.

Because they're asking for incentives seems to suggest that the viability isn't there or that the corporations have so much control that they not only impose their will upon employees but not the governments and municipalities they operate in because there is potential for some long tail tax opportunities that Google doesn't take a risk on but the towns do. That's what ticks me off. Nothing in life is guaranteed but here we are guaranteeing google that they will win.

There was a time when a big city in NJ could do no wrong building HUGE telco buildings with no windows and huge tax incentives. It ended up building a downtown no one wanted to live or work in and the city has no money because the corporations exist tax-free and the city actually has to carry their liability even those services are being shut down, abandoned or aren't worth the promise they sold to the city to begin with.

Mostly because companies realized its cheaper to quit city and move to another if there is free money on the table
I find this argument rediculous.

We should not allow a huge negative behaviour every single day, just on the off chance that there’s a possibility it would restrict us in a very unusual event.

Hundreds of people should die because maybe we can save a few?

Makes no sense.
GPS gives you a 3D fix (lat/lon/height). A common use case in aviation, particularly drones, is avoiding controlled airspace. The height of controlled airspace varies with location - for example a rural area might be 7500ft while near an airport traffic zone it might be only 1000ft or lower.
Italics were still used though.

Like /this/.
Speaking about the theatrical and rock concert industry...

In some ways the cases are standardized around being a quarter, third or half the width of a semi trailer inside width in some dimensions. So once its in a case its usually okay.

Typically the cases are packed in layers based on depth and with, so if you have a set of thirds cases, they will go in a layer, if you have a cases with some odd depth, they will tend to go together. The weight of things is taken into account as well, heavy stuff tends to get packed towards the sides, near load bars (metal bars that keep the load from shifting) or the front sometimes. There are sometimes considerations for how it gets from the truck to the ground, because sometimes you get somewhere and theres no dock, or your in a smaller truck with a gate. So forklifing things is common.

What goes into each case is a complicated subject. Some cases are just full of all cables of some type, or full of lights or speakers. Sometimes a case will be built around being a kit for something, or around "this is everything that goes to Greenroom x". And you have an assortment of special cases, TVs, stuff like that.

You also sometimes have to consider who opens and sets up whats in a case, so rigging gear will need to be kept separate from audio gear, since those may be setup by different teams or different unions, even if that gear goes together when the show is setup.

Odd sized cases and loose stuff is often packed on top or "rides on top" of larger roadcases in the truck. Often this stuff is moved from the truck onto cases before its moved into the building, since pushing a case with some extras on top is not as hard as carrying the stuff all the way in. Sometimes carts are used, not as often as I would have hoped.

In many venues the people who move the cases from the show area (arena floor, stage, etc) are a separate team or separate union. If you start out in IATSE, the stagehands union in the US and Canada, you will often start by pushing boxes and generally doing physical work.

But at the end of the day the truck is loaded by weight, so theres often tons of volume left over when the truck is "full" as its now at its max weight.

Thanks for the great reply. Funnily enough, I was originally was going to say that females are better at math in grade school, but the source I chose didn't dig into that claim.

I think we're on the fluctuation - and the ways that we're taught in school. Anecdotally, I'm under the impression (based mostly on conversations with other now adults - and teachers) that "regular ed" likely wouldn't have unlocked the same passions that "gifted"/advanced classes opened in me.

To emphasize your note about failure, my education was so changed because I was allowed to fail (38% on a test in 3rd grade advanced math is a memory). Whether it's Mike Tyson, Wayne Gretzky, Lombari, Bruce Wayne, or parenting advice - if we take shots, we're going to fail, we're going to get punched in the face, but will we get back up, and most importantly, will our children, students do it again until they succeed their way.

[Though, after I type that, I remember the point of the OP, you don't have to like math, you often times don't even have to do it the prescribed way - but it's important to learn it, you'll one day apply the concepts -- even when dealing with babies or animals.]
One of the suggestions that came up more often from people who tried out Socket Wrench was the ability to connect to Socketio servers. However supporting socketio namespaces complicated the UX, so I decided to wait till I got a lot more people asking for SocketIO support to implement it.
> I wish it was "If you use it this month, we'll charge you $15"

Yes, or even "if you use it more than 2 hours this month, we'll charge you $15".

It's mostly impossible to do anything seriously meaningful in under 2 hours except minor edits and file conversions etc.

You can kind of "fake" ADTs in Go with interface{} and switches, but it isn't all that nice.

Rust on the other hand with first-class ADT and pattern matching makes it a pleasure! You also have all the nice advantages of the compiler checking that all branches have been satisfied which catches a lot of bugs at compile time.

Go has it's place, and works great in those places, but I don't think this is one of them. I'm pleased we chose Rust and this feels like a great use for it!
And, even if you don't go 'full platinum level proof' (proof of all the High-Level specs of your software) in SPARK you can still enjoy, without too much effort:
- proof of no read access to uninitialized variables
- proof of absence of runtime errors (overflow, underflow, array out of bound, incorrect conversion...)
- proof of type predicates/invariants, asserts, pre/post conditions...
- Less known, you can specify and verify 'data provenance' with 'this function's result depends on parameters a and b c' aspects, and you can also specify and verify global variables access (global_in, global_out).

This with a language that supports tasking, generics, and oop natively...

And proof on access types (pointers) are on the way.

Really amazing tech to work with.

https://www.taxnotes.com/editors-pick/google-seeks-20-years-...

that seems to be a much better article, but still doesn't elaborate on that "shortfall". The Taxnotes article makes this seem like a much better deal for the down, and a much more reasonable ask from google. They are effectively asking that they be granted a reduced increase in taxes on the proposed vast increase in property value from the value of their development"

>The county assessor valued the land at $1.76 million, and the city estimated that the property's market value upon completion would be $41.6 million. Local real estate taxes on the property are around $16,476 and are estimated to jump to $328,726 after the facility is built. Jet Stream requested property tax breaks for 20 years for the data center, but not school district tax abatements.
Dude I know this is weird but looking at your comment history I'd love to talk to you. If you're up for it, my contact info is in my profile.
I personally think the biggest problem is that people even track their "conviction rate", ESPECIALLY public prosecutors.

But it's worse for prosecutors: they get evaluated on it. Convicting people is all that matters. And then people complain the prisons are too full ...

If we replaced that metric by "how many years of freedom without serious crimes" did you create in defendants, using punishments ... and using just letting them go ... that would make a world of difference.
I'd be _reasonably_ comfortable doing just that.

What comes to mind is the stories about "parachute kids" with (relatively) wealthy parents that sent the kid abroad, ostensibly for study. They end up in an extreme form of latchkey existence - still Eastern in intent, but living largely alone and with few obligations, they tend to be adrift at a much earlier stage of life, leading to occasional news stories about crimes that earn prison time, or of "little emperors and empresses" that have been spoiled and have difficulty adjusting to interaction with the rest of the world.

The film "Better Luck Tomorrow" explored this - not specifically the parachute kid status, but the trouble that overprivileged Asian teens get into. It's fictionalized but also based on some real events.

It's omitting a lot of context.

Article 13 (and 11) is heavily inspired by pre-existing laws and drafts in Germany (and France), which are heavily lobbied by print publishers (much like US copyright law legislation is heavily lobbied by the MPAA and RIAA).

So while the changes aren't as controversial in Germany (although e.g. the Leistungsschutzrecht is still fairly recent and controversial) they're not likely to be as easily accepted throughout the rest of the EU.

Of course the obvious caveat is that MEPs don't necessarily vote in alignment with their country's population. Because of the lower voter turnout they have fewer constituents while they're also a more lucrative target for industrial lobbying.

A quick search shows that male doctors outnumber female doctors in the US by about a 2:1 ratio, so I don’t think that’s the best example. Your point remains, since there are fields where women are at parity or beyond.

I think that because it seems unlikely that we’ve managed to completely eliminate thousands of years’ worth of systemic sexism in such a short time. It’s highly improbable that, with so many things changing all the time, this just happens to be the moment when we’ve achieved a level playing field.

And to address the specific claim, why would being interested in people keep women away from computer jobs? It’s an intensely collaborative field. And why didn’t this keep women out of the field a few decades ago when women programmers were much more (relatively) numerous? If women are generally more interested in people and this drives sex disparities in different professions, why are there so few women in politics, the most people-heavy profession imaginable?

State social welfare spending has massively increased since 1950, both in real per capita terms, and as a percentage of GDP, so your narrative of states scaling back social programs is false.

And states do not have the power to "move people to SSDI". Eligibility is determined by the federal government, and the federal government has expanded eligibility over the last 70 years.

All broad-based measures of social welfarism show it has massively increased since 1950. I really don't understand how you can look at the spending statistics and claim social programs in general have been cut.

>>Tradional welfare programs really have been cut. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare#/media/File%3AWelfar....

Despite some instances of welfare reform and scale backs, the bigger picture, of total per capita welfare spending, and welfare spending as a percentage of GDP, shows welfare has been massively expanded:

Wow so it plays electronic music in background while you work. That's different.
> Why wouldn't the states then just collect 100% of income in taxes (and nothing left for the federal taxes), and then redistribute that back to citizens (proportionally with how much taxes each paid)?

Because if they did, the feds would just not exempt payments from that scheme from federal taxes (such an inverse means test wouldn't be exempt based on the current policy exempting need-based cash aid.)

So it would be essentially the equivalent of just not having taxed the amount paid out in benefits, including for federal tax purposes.

A bug by the same author (referenced in the article) that allowed anyone to undetectably upload a sitemap to any other person's website (and appear at the top of search results by claiming to be associated with the website) only got $5000, when it could have easily been sold for tens of thousands to blackhat SEO companies. So the answer is probably "way less than street value but still nonzero"

A lot of the major sites now use lottery systems. You have 10 minutes to enter the lottery and your enter time doesn't affect outcome. You could fiddle with % by having multiple entries, but you'd need a unique credit card per entry.

I'm pretty big into sneakers and have found the bot game to be really interesting, and how companies are fighting it by removing "first-come first-served" is a rational response.
> makes it seem that the standard model is pretty flexible

It's simply not true that these 500 papers are all "the standard model" and that can be verified by reading the actual papers. E.g.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.04027

"Strongly interacting dynamics and the search for new physics at the LHC"

New physics != the standard model

I don't know the origin of that "500 papers" list (it seems somebody simply made a jsfiddle out of who knows which list and smuggled that in Wikipedia) but they can't be interpreted as "all the standard model."
Nah. Her exposition is mediocre at best. What she did was simply give her readers a rationale for their innate selfishness and lack of empathy, wrapped in flowery platitudes. Those that are naturally self-centered read her work and the underlying message of radical egocentrism speaks to them. But since it's such an abhorrent message, they justify their attraction to it by claiming Rand was a compelling writer. She really wasn't.

What I guess you can say is that being a hypocrite and narcissist herself, Rand knew her audience quite well and wrote accordingly. There's a lot that can be learned from that.
#2 sounds most appealing. I live in Japan and don’t have a reachable phone #. Wife and I simply FaceTime if we need anything. Otherwise I have no mobile means of authentication. There have been several occasions where I simply couldn’t use the service because I could not authenticate via a phone number. I feel that companies that force this method of authentication have never considered my use case and could care less if they lose me in the signup process. Too bad. I for one actually have the money to pay them, but hey, if you don’t want it that’s fine with me.

Data centre placement is driven by a heck of a lot more than tax incentives.

If they're looking to build a data centre in one place its because it fits their huge list of criteria. Tax breaks are just icing on the cake. They want a data centre here regardless.
Those seem equivalent, just with a different limiting resource.

The thing to also keep in mind is that the bug bounty teams are typically centralized and not embedded within the product teams of the services being reported on. They certainly get prioritized attention, but there are still layers of communication to report the issue, follow up with devs or reporter if there are questions or difficulties reproducing the issue, prioritize the issue, fix the bug and deploy to prod.

Not to say that’s the way it is at Facebook, just what I’ve seen in the past.
Is this true even if I'm solving a problem for myself primarily? Would talking to other people fragment my focus on what I should be creating? Or would you say that this is not the case?
To my knowledge, almost all startup options have a strike price that is close to the last 409A valuation, which is typically an order of magnitude less than the valuation given to the company at its last private financing. Receiving options with a strike price close to the last private valuation would be highly unusual, but if it did occur, I'd advise people to value those at $0.

> What would legislation to address this at the national level even look like?

Any tax breaks offered to and accepted by a corporation reduce federal dollars provided to the state where the tax breaks were provided. Let the state deal with the accounting internally if you want to penalize locals directly for their actions.

This doesn't outlaw the tax breaks, but it does force states to feel the pain of doing it by making it net out. No different than when the federal government requires states to raise the drinking age to 21 by withholding highway funds.

If we can cap SALT deductions, this isn't much of a stretch beyond that.
From anecdotal data, yes - very true. I think you're seeing a wider spread than before. People who are trying to get homes with less % down than before and people who are using their parents' money. An article I read (that used anecdotal data from real estate agents) was suggesting that around 35% of new home buyers in SF Bay are getting partial to full down payment from parents.

Anyone in my social circle who bought their first home (anywhere on the west coast) and is in their 20's or 30's, they didn't do it by themselves. Their parents chipped in quite a bit.
The author gives two examples in Slack and Spotify and it's pretty apparent why Electron is better than a browser. During screen sharing calls in Slack, it can capture the user's mouse and control a remote user's desktop. With Spotify, it can cache gigs of mp3s to save on bandwidth.

I don't think either of these features are possible with a standard browser because of sandboxing, nor should they be allowed.

Why should taxpayers have to take the risk for Google if the opportunity and reason for Google to be there is already there? If it's already win-win for everyone, why even have the tax abatement?

Google being the extremely profitable company it is, shouldn't need to create liabilities for a market it's trying to promise jobs too.

a lot changes in 20 years and if its anything like the telco industry it will mean they will rely on these incentives for everything they do in the future because people seem willing to give it to them.
