Exactly. Since the comment above you is flagged and removed, I assume he was flaming me? Case in point.

You're right - revision of strategy. If all these people beating their chests took half that energy to formulate a new plan of attack that actually worked with more people we could move forward. Instead they stamp their feet and say "no you come to me".

It's sad. So many people who could actually cause change just wanna be outraged...
Agreed. Most of us rely on driving to reach the workplace. It's not only a mere inconvenience to lose your licence, it's basically severing your access to your main source of financial support and could send you spiralling down in debts for a long time.

Sure, not meeting your responsibilities has to be dealt with and have consequences, but the consequences shouldn't have to be catastrophic and put you into an unrecoverable situation to act as a deterrent.
In the short-term, you are absolutely right.

That said, a lot of homelessness happens as a result of mental illnesses like drug addiction or schizophrenia, or degenerative diseases like Alzheimers. It might be a pipe dream, but I would like to have as much research as possible to help treat these diseases, to (hopefully) help reduce these issues, perhaps by developing a cheap medication to reduce or eliminate the effects.

It's not something any of us are immune to; any of us could develop Alzheimers when we get older. I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of really cool friends and family that would take care of me if that happened, but not everyone is so lucky.
This seems like a non story... The plane turned back because of engine trouble. Sounds pretty routine to me.
I do wonder if it isn't necessarily that the 'generalized person' loses empathy as their place in our economic power structures change, but instead that they are more empathetic with the people in their current position in the power structure? It seems natural that a person might do so.

I went on a quick search to see if such a thing as "Winner's guilt" exists, and while it does appear to be a thing to some extent, I found not studies on it in a larger context. It seems to me that relating to people that are like your current state would probably be a good defense against that, psychologically.
At your next jobs where? Other startups? If increased responsibility means managing people, I don't think that's a positive - the management experience is going to be discounted by the relative lack of hands on technical experience.

Even if more responsibility means more hands on responsibility, it's a mixed bag because your experience tends to be broad but not deep. Still valuable, but not really worth the comp tradeoff IMO.
Almost all US regional newspaper websites are blocking access from EU. Many other US sites as well but luckily most of them they just don't care to comply or enable geo fencing.

Again, I'm not advocating for this system, all the points you make are completely valid.

That said, this will move the needle for almost 50% of that population. Student debt is already non-dischargeable, and delinquencies are hitting record highs every quarter. Creditors are just trying to collect any way they can.

There's a lot of factors at work: the cost of education is insane, student loans are very easy to get, there is a ton of pressure to go to college, it's hard to think long term when you're 18, financial literacy is poor through high school, etc.
Taiwan is

- small, dense, and urban, which means that everything of value is close together, and urban warfare is extremely difficult and costly.

- forested and mountainous, which would present problems with guerillas after a main invasion is over

- across a sea, so they will probably lose people just trying to get to Taiwan in the first place

If China were to militarily invade Taiwan they would probably bleed quite a lot and be the king of ashes in the end.
I don't think it's about feeling wrong, but more if someone is super calm it feels patronizing to the excited person. It is like their emotion or problem is not important.
"Woman can't go outside because she has nothing to wear. In space!"

... not sure if I should make such joke in 2019.
Yes, it must be that.
So:

- this was (per FAA) a regular engine problem and seems unrelated to the MAX control issues. As such it could have happened to any flight.

- Since people have asked repeatedly: 737MAX can still fly, just not regular passenger traffic. Airlines now shuffle them around to where they want them (where there is room to store them, where they can get necessary fixes quickly once they are available etc. Typically a hub airport for the airline in question).

All in all this was a pretty uninteresting event.
I agree. The differentiation between open and hidden tab is appalling. I can't tell which tab I'm on!

I find Stylus extension to be a great way to unbreak the sites you regularly use. More and more, I find myself making ad-hoc userscripts to remove bullshit sites large and small send my way, and to fix the annoying trend of making everything uselessly large and full of whitespace.

Refuting legal arguments takes time and expertise I don't have. He's good at his job, and I have no knowledge about this case. So while I put no faith whatsoever in his analysis I can't tell you how it is wrong, and yes this is an ad hominem.

pretty much since early 2000s java has always had 'free' null derefencing and OS traps for addressing the zeroth page.

each dereference where NPE can occur has had 'metadata'. It's compiling metadata not object one.
Seeing through someone's half-assed attempts to use woo woo management strategy pablum is unquestionably infuriating. They don't have the integrity to just be wrong... they have to wrap it in passive-aggressive management talk. And then they do THAT poorly.

Meanwhile, putting in effort or even naturally just being someone that wants to empathize, find common ground and work towards a compromise is noble. When paired with good communication strategies and frankly when practiced through experience, you end up with highly likeable leaders who are the people you turn to in difficult times.

Don't hate the people who mean well but haven't learned to communicate like a pro. Save your anger for the people who are full of self-serving lies that don't even bother to manipulate you successfully because they don't really care how you feel.

The next time someone deploys Inexperienced Manager 101 aka "the shit sandwich" on you, ask yourself if they are malicious or just ignorant. It could be that they are just trying and failing.

Louis Vuitton Owner LVMH Is Launching a Blockchain to Track Luxury Goods
I work at the European Parliament, and in 3 years of debate about the law not a single person or organisation has brought up people putting content from other platforms on FB as something that this supposedly addresses.

In fact, it's all about the music industry wanting higher licensing payments from YouTube: At least as much per play as e.g. Apple Music pays. They call the fact that they're not getting that today the "value gap" – THAT'S the undisputed reason/justification for this law (just google the term).

(Facebook, by the way, also has a content filter: https://www.facebook.com/help/publisher/330407020882707)
In that case IMO it's not about the title but about the responsibilities and achievements. Don't just write "CTO of Waggletech (2018-2019)" and call it a day, but instead spell it out.

Example: "Defined the technical architecture of the MVP and implemented large portions of it. [Platform-specific stuff here]. Lead the recruiting effort to bring the company from 2 to 10, interviewing over 100 applicants. Participated in raising seed-stage funding from X VC and N seed-stage investors." IMO the thing the Bay Area does better than everywhere else is in the face of failure, the immediate follow-up question is "so what did you learn?"
Those aren't even the worst things they've done. Here are some questions everyone should ask about new standards:

1. Do they reduce complexity of the (already insanely complicated) web/internet infrastructure?

2. Do they reduce barriers of entry for new companies?

If you look at thing Google consistently pushes forward, the answers are almost always in the negative.
Yep. I think this might even be a symptom of the shortage of engineers. A "senior" title might often be the only way for the CTO (or equivalent) to justify what is perceived by the rest of the company as high salaries.

The U.S. Military Is Creating the Future of Employee Monitoring
There have always been disinformation campaigns. Ironically, you're probably the victim of one right now - the belief that there is some kind of vast "disinformation campaign" active in the west is a conspiracy theory that is routinely shot down by people who investigate the credibility of such claims in the media (e.g. Taibbi, Greenwald).

Luckily, we can read the articles written by people who investigate claims of vast online disinformation campaigns, and discover they are false. That's because there's not much censorship in the west. We can learn that the mainstream, 'official' narrative is false.

In China you'd never read about any claims that contradict the official narrative. You'd maybe suspect there was something wrong with it, but have no good way to prove it.

BTW I don't know what "stochastic terror" is. But you sound pretty scared. Maybe you've fallen victim to it ;)
The book has an appendix, labeled 'background' which lays out more precisely the formal prerequisites from point-set topology and algebra which you should review. The algebra is surely going to be a bigger obstacle than differential equations.

Wow California making sexist laws that adversely affect men over women? Color me shocked.
In 1941 Soviet Union:

1. Declared a hidden mobilization.

2. Increased term of military service.

3. Created ~20.000 tanks (hardly a defensive weapon).

4. Removed fortifications on old Polish-Soviet border.

5. Started to concentrate forces close to German-occupied part of Poland.

6. Trained a lot of paratroopers (again, hardly a defense material)

7. In June 1941 plans that were opened by attacked Soviet forces were all-out offensive.

That didn't look like defense preparations to me.
Meh, the bar has to be higher than that. If you call a hoard of people speaking up to reject the article's validity successful because it "promotes discussion" then I don't know what to tell you.
Kubernetes: Edge vs. Level Triggered Logic
Not necessarily.. I've been following him since Samsung's battle with Apple in early 2010's. His lopsided depiction of the legal proceedings (see his commentary on Judge Grewal's adversal jury instruction on Samsung and how he belittled Samsung's response) or the evidence -- the "guidebook" you cited -- that Apple was able to get away with, but not Samsung.

Just so you understand, the "guidebook" or benchmarking your competitors' product is nothing special in any industry. That piece of evidence was submitted at the last minute for the trade dress part of the lawsuit and Samsung also tried to present theirs in response, but was rejected on procedural ground (on "untimeliness").

Thank you! This is awesome
With respect, "anything that benefits corporations harms me" is a weird attitude.

AMP in email could, hypothetically, allow me to hit the "checkin to my flight" button for a Southwest flight directly from my confirmation email without having to bump over to their website. That's cool, convenient, and simplifies my life. It also benefits the corporation (their resource allocation is easier if they have a firm count of flyers) and it benefits Google (I'm more likely to use an email client that facilitates this).

The business world is full of win-wins, and this has the potential to be one of them.
> Stalin favored the "Socialism in one country"

Yes. Incidentally that one country had to have Moscow as the capital, but span across whole Europe and most of the Asia.
Yes but historically it was the owner of the trademark that was able to reap the bulk of any revenue. Normally the trademark was owned by the developers behind the project. Proprietary forks happened but because they didn't have the name recognition they were niche.

It seems the convenience of hosting services on the same infrastructure you already run everything else on (the cloud) outstrips the value of the trademark. This is new uncharted territory. So while it was always allowed by the license - in practice it was not as big a problem as it is today.
You've had 25+ years to come to terms with the reality of global warming. I'm sorry but it's too late for coddling these soft-denialists.

Under George W. Bush, the NASA Authorization Act of 2005 directed the NASA administer to "strive to achieve" milestones including "Return Americans to the Moon no later than 2020" and "Launch the Crew Exploration Vehicle as close to 2010 as possible" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Authorization_Act_of_2005

The Augustine Committee in 2009 determined that it would not be possible with the budget available. "The Committee judged the 9-year old Constellation program to be so behind schedule, underfunded and over budget that meeting any of its goals would not be possible. President Obama removed the program from the 2010 budget effectively canceling the program." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_of_United_States_Human_...

Instead, Obama wanted "a U.S.-crewed orbital Mars mission by the mid-2030s, preceded by an asteroid mission by 2025" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_policy_of_the_Barack_Oba...

Going back in time, the Space Exploration Initiative was a policy in the George H. W. Bush administration. "he described plans calling for constructing Space Station Freedom, sending humans back to the Moon "to stay" and ultimately sending astronauts to explore Mars." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Exploration_Initiative

So, excuse me while I screw up my face and point out that until I see a real political push by the administration for actual, serious funding, I ain't holding my breath. And the NYT piece says there is no such funding.

How is Qualcomm's approach supposed to work under US patent law? That Qualcomm made no money seems immaterial – either they licensed (e.g.) Intel to use their IP, or they didn't. In the former case, patent exhaustion should apply and Qualcomm is out of luck. In the latter, it again seems that Intel is the infringer, not Apple or any other Intel-using handset maker.

Put another way: I'm looking for a clear statement of what legal theory is Qualcomm using in its attempt to leapfrog the chip manufacturer and bring patent suit against handset makers?
>king of ashes in the end

At the very most, king of at least 2 generations of extremely politically active, very pissed off people.

These are the people that took over their government buildings back in 2014 because of a suggested trade deal with China. As the young people did so, local businesses donated food, water, blankets, pillows etc in droves, demonstrated a cross-generational political activism that would be an absolute fucking nightmare to deal with as a brute-force conqueror.

Oops, the water lines to your PRC bases all clogged at the same time, weird!

Oops suddenly the internet doesn't work for PRC government offices, huh, strange!
...and https://www.peloton.com and their oil & gas software.
I’ve worked with Mesos pretty extensively before and when Uber first announced Peloton last year I was intrigued. Peloton seems to be a wrapper around Mesos that allows for running smaller, unique jobs without having to write a Mesos framework for each. Writing a Mesos framework for every small job you have can get annoying when you just want to define how your job should run and don’t really care for the resources or task allocation of the job, and it seems like Peloton solves this on Mesos. It’s similar to YARN but not limited to Hadoop. It would have been useful for the project that I worked on because it was more geared for our use case and shifting from Mesos to k8s would’ve been a huge engineering project.
The GP is saying that Walmart avoided providing these benefits, instead paying it's employees so little money that they qualified for welfare, which is paid by th taxpayer, not Walmart. Since you are anyway subsidizing Walmart, might as well shop there.
Commercial airports usually have limited room for storing aircraft. Lots of airlines use the aircraft graveyard at Victorville, CA. It's a desert with very low humidity which helps preserve the airframe while it's unused, plus storage fees are much cheaper than those levied by a commercial airport.

This is good. A major problem has been that cities have been built to accommodate cars which then enforces the need for them. Cities should be human-scale. Obviously, there will still be a longer-distance transportation which can hopefully be picked up by rail networks.
Seems like there is a misunderstanding about the US credit system. Paying interest has 0 impact on your credit score. Plenty of ways to get a credit card without credit history (secured credit cards are typically easiest) and as long as you pay it off before the statement due date (typically 28-60 days after the charge) then you will not be charged any interest while building credit.

Here's a quick overview of how a US credit score is calculated -

I'm thourghly confused by your association of (a)GPL and commercial and calling apach/bad licenses more open. AGPL ensures that users always retain the 4 freedoms, by restricting developers. BSD allows developers to do whatever, including restricting the users. Neither is "more open", they both make trade offs and neither is comparable to proprietary except to say the BSD style licences allow for it if the developer chooses.

Look at the kurfuffle around mongo, redis, and elastic search because of their licenses. However, you don't hear the same issues coming from the postgres community. The licenses you're claiming will win the day cause problems for for-profit I companies, for exactly the reason you think they're "more open".

In the end, either entrenched proprietary software or open, community-focused, community-stewarded software will win the day.
InterruptedException is sort of necessary evil, esp. when it comes to concurrent data structures.

InterruptedException are rare (very) and used mostly to signal termination attempt. LockSupport.parkNanos doesn't throw the exception (unlike sleep, and sleep should never be used in code) but the interruption signal/flag has to be respected somehow. Most of the time is rethrow in library code or bailing out with IllegalStateException in 'userspace'
