What? 100,000+ people marched in the street against it[0]. We knew the UK Government stole a student's essay for their "Dodgy Dossier" and tried to re-package it as intelligence before too[1].

We knew full well it was false before invasion. It didn't stop them.

The problem is that there is no feedback for when we fail to hire top talent.

How would I know that during a round of interviews I failed to give an offer to Top Talent? What can I do if someone I think is Top Talent gets another offer we cannot match?

Sure, I can try my best to work against those very costly situations, but I never know how good someone is going to be until they are hired, so I don't have enough data to determine if I'm failing to hire the best.

I can, and we do, determine which candidates we hired that we really like and talk to them about why they choose the company and try to appeal to and find more candidates like them.

I wouldn't use this, for the same reasons other people have said.

Though I would say props for trying to do some market validation and getting real feedback rather than letting an idea fester in your head without telling anyone. You will find an idea worth working on eventually.
While I agree that there is room for both (callbacks make sense in some areas, promises/async/await in others). I feel that promise-based async should be the default, since it provides so many additional benefits.

>A middle ground is to have both Promise and callback, eg. if(!cb) return promise.

This works in many cases, but becomes ugly in some. The 2 ways of working have subtle differences (callbacks and promises both trigger at different times, and there is some interplay with "microtasks" and queues and schedules and other things that make some situations hairy). There's also the problem of Promises being hard to use when additional closures are involved (it's why `.forEach` sees much less usage in async/await codebases, because it's a lot more cumbersome to "wait" on iterating over an entire array with `.forEach` because the inner `await` can't escape the function in `.forEach`.) So most users will end up choosing one or the other for the whole library, and at that point why not just have them be 2 different libraries?

It also makes documentation harder, and makes the implementation of the library a lot more complex (now it needs to do EVERYTHING in both a promise-friendly way, and a callback-friendly way), and some things just can't be easily split (how do you support both async iterators and node.js event streams at the same time in the same interface?)

Open it up, and allow anyone to earn money without being hired.

Before hiring someone, or being hired, meet them first, so you have a vested interest in them succeeding, and if they mess up, you take it as a personal tragedy instead of just burning through people.

Otherwise it's just sadism and unrestrained cruelty.

A "strong assertion" versus a "weak assertion" has no bearing on the burden of proof. An assertion requires evidence.

This isn't a communication issue. If I make an assertion, and someone asks me where I'm getting that information from, if I can't or won't provide an answer, it's not worth your time to debate.

If you make an assertion in a debate, you need to be able to back it up. Period.

I don't get why Google hasn't cleaned up the Pinterest spam in Google Images:

- Using Google Images search for: fun crafts.

- Results loaded with Pinterest hosted images.

- Visit any of those Pinterest hosted image pages

- The page on Pinterest may not include the image you are looking for (anymore)

- Or the Pinterest page may be an intermediary page that links to some other external website with the original image (Google doesn't give the original website the traffic)

- After 5 seconds you start getting prompts to create a Pinterest account

The UK may have wanted to be a world leader in software and may have heavily invested in education, but then they failed to keep their programmers by creating jobs that paid those developers a competitive enough salary to stay in the UK.

A huge portion of us left the country to take our software skills to countries we would be paid competitive salaries and have a high quality of life. Those countries are exploiting the UK's investment by offering a high quality of life and a streamlined path through their immigration policies, pillaging UK developers and negating the billions of dollars the UK spent to get ahead.

Having kept a close eye on the development market in the UK for the past 20 years, it's becoming apparent that there will never be an opportunity to bring our skills back home.

It's no good investing in education if you don't provide the opportunity for that education to bring long term benefit to the UK. You need to keep the people once you've trained them and they're just not going to stick around while other countries salaries and immigration policies make it easy to take those skills where they're going to be guaranteed easy access to a high quality of life. Those developers are never going to come back if they face the prospect of losing 80% of their salary and their partner not being able to work for for a period during the immigration process.

This is a huge gap that the UK seriously needs to look at. There's no point in having an industrial policy that trains people if you're just going to lose a huge portion of them at the end of that training, never to see them again.
I'd opt out.

They might be but it's possible that the percentage of such interactions that result in a marriage won't offset the lost potential marriages that came from more "classical" forms of interaction. And when I say "lost" I mean when people start focusing more and more on online dating having expectations other than meaningful relationships/marriage.

The question isn't if online interactions can produce meaningful relationships but rather what is the expectation of people that do it this way. Because if the expectation is that online dating is just for one night stands and "fun" then the increase in such interactions won't bring an equivalent increase in marriages.
Here's a declassified guide from 2001 for US government employees of an US agency:

https://www.wrc.noaa.gov/wrso/security_guide/bughotel.htm

> It is sometimes said that "All hotel rooms abroad are bugged for audio and visual surveillance." Of course it is not true that all of them are bugged, but a great many are -- especially in major hotels frequented by foreign business and government travelers.

> Most foreign security and intelligence services have various means of screening incoming visitors to identify persons of potential intelligence interest. They also have well-established contacts with the hotels that commonly host conferences and meetings with international participation. For convenience, some even maintain permanent offices within the largest hotels. If the local intelligence service considers you a significant intelligence target, it may arranged for you to be assigned a room that is already prepared for the desired monitoring.

Another declassified guide:

https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=225...

> In your hotel, assume that the room and telephone are being monitored. DO NOT try to play investigator and start looking for electronic listening devices. This again could send the wrong signals to a surveillant. Just make sure that you do not say or do anything in your hotel room that you would not want to see posted on the Internet.

This guide's from the NASA:

https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/FOIA/newsletters/CI-CTNew...

> The bottom line is this: When traveling over-seas, in particular for official business and where accommodations are provided by the host, assume that your hotel room and work spaces contain clandestine audio and video surveillance devices.

These are all US government sources meant for their own employees. The US government is good at this intelligence stuff so I presume they know what they are talking about. And you can expect that they are doing the same to foreign guests staying in the USA.

You'll will find similar sources from the UK govt as well (search for "site:*.gov.uk hotel room surveillance").

Was Reddit preaching against copyrights? Or even against "corporate selloutism"?

I mean, banning watch-people-die is obviously because they are trying to be somehow attracting more advertisers, being more profit-friendly, but they never condoned copyright infringement as far as I know.
76% of UK households have a vehicle, as opposed to 91% of US households. More than vehicle-ownership, however, significantly higher petrol prices in the UK inhibit usage by a fair amount (2018 averages: $2.50/gal in the US, $7.00/gal in the UK). Finally, most US cities have much better-developed intra-urban motorway networks, rendering the car relatively more effective for commuting. UK urban roads saturate at lower volumes, on average.

So the net result is that the while the UK population has moderately lower rates of actual car ownership -- actual spatial accessibility via the car, in generalised-cost terms (travel time * value-of-time + monetary cost), is substantially lower than in the US.

I've "finish[ed] more correct programs on time" by planning all of the details in a Design Document before writing a line of code, than I ever have by planning at a high level only before implementing, but that's just my personal anecdote. Although, I do take the MVP-then-iterate approach if I don't have a tight deadline, because the early feedback loop can be invaluable in that type of development process.

Every day I see sad examples of eternal September's march to the written abyss.

I had a dream of writing a significant open source project but the reality of entitled user disruption, lack of clear economic benefit, lack of even personal benefit makes me think its a terrible idea. I wrote a closed source software that sells on the Apple app store. Despite nearly a million Downloads, and thousands of reviews and some real money too, the level of serious entitled bitchyness found everywhere in the open source world is non existant with my product. I even sell it for $19.99 well above typical app store prices.

I love open source, I wish I could contribute but as of now there are more downs than ups.
> M.M.T., Mr. Alpert said, “successfully debunks 40 years of misassumptions of how markets and public credit work.”

Roughly contemporaneous with the rocketing financial inequality, failure of productivity gains to be seen below the C-suite level, drive to extract private profits from public goods and the almost pathological drive to strangle government in the bathtub. We've already seen MMT applied for the benefit of the wealthy in the form of asset-value-pumping QE but they don't spend. Better our government should run deficits to improve infrastructure and health put cash in the hands of folks whose spending will increase monetary velocity.

We got completely bait and switched as they assured us some feature was 100% possible, now we're partly in GCP and the feature is "impossible" now, so we're rolling back to aws. Our need is pretty unique, and it was a move that no engineer supported, but let's say gcp doesn't have any fans over here.
Can anyone speak to the UX difference as well? Not just feature comparisons but what it's like to be using GIMP vs Photoshop.

I used Photoshop regularly for a few months in 2009 but that was a public school computer so I'm sure the version was one or two behind. My GIMP use is more frequent/recent but very irregular and for a variety of tasks that are never critical to my livelihood. Today I feel like GIMP is much nicer to use than when I started using it (~2006) but I still remember Photoshop being a nicer experience.

I don't know if that's well shared or has changed.
FreeIPA.

It supports a lot of features, has a lot of documentation backed by Red Hat, and a fantastic mailing list that helps usually within hours. It also can create a 2-way trust with active directory if that is also desired. It has integration with multi-factor authentication too if desired.

I've been running a several hundred user development environment with dozens of LDAP authenticated services, for about 4 years now. It has been great, the web UI works really nicely, and it has active development.

I recommend it without hesitation.

If there was an existing AI solution in place anywhere in world capable to detect a suicide, I'd agree - but there's nothing even close to that at the moment. You can't blame a company for not using something that's technologically probably not even possible to make reliably today. And what if it's not "morally scalable", you shut it down? You break it by force like it was done with Bell system? Would having "Face corp." and "Book corp." really solve any of these issues, which are fundamentally a problem of human nature?
Something I discovered when working in technology is that anyone who said "just do ___" in a planning meeting was either brilliant, or drastically underestimated the scope of a task. Either way, the solution was the same. If you're the only person in the room who thinks a task is easy, you're assigned to that task.

How exactly do you plan to find identify all the hosts who do this?
Indeed, and it would also explain why it happens for young men in particular - as people get older, they start prioritizing monogamy, it being likely the better structure for raising kids (according to current social standards, at least) (technically, marriage doesn't mean monogamy - cheating is common - but I imagine not many men would sign up to raise children in a couple without having sex with their partners).

> Taxes are the same here in Norway as is in Australia, but it’s such a richer country.

This is not a sensible comparison. Norway produces 313,661 barrels per day per million people, which is higher than all other countries besides Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Australia produces 12,010 bbl/day/millon-people, i.e., just 3.8% of Norway's per capita production.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_produ...

The extreme amount of mineral wealth that each Norwegian citizen has inherited makes Norway very difficult to compare to non-Arab countries on any issue connected to economics (i.e., basically everything).

Relatedly, the cost of living in Norway is much higher than Australia, despite Australia's extreme remoteness.
