In high school we had a P.C. tech class where we learned how to build computers which were donated to the school from various churches and businesses doing upgrades in the area.

All the hardware was about 3-4 years behind current tech at the time (2001-2002, so computers were from 1998ish), however it was a great way to learn the fundamentals and this was back when you could fry a motherboard by connecting the PSU to it incorrectly.

Long story short as one of the exercises we would break workstations that other students would then have to troubleshoot and fix.

Some were annoying, pop off keyboard keys and put back in proper positions.

Others were simple but annoying when you are learning such as finding the jumpers in the wrong spot on a hard drive.

One kid in our class definitely did this 'trick' where they turned the Monitor brightness off. It was the last workstation to finally get fixed that day and this story reminded me of that day I had forgotten about.

> And if you stand up against them, as the Panthers did, well even the NRA will suddenly support gun control.

.. lets not pretend that the Panthers were some mild group either. A group of people advocating along race lines for the end of capitalist exploitation of their race and releasing of all incarcerated people of their race walking around with fully automatic weapons 'for defense' is not exactly 'moderate'

which is not to say that i do not understand the rationale behind the group given the zeitgeist (and really, why do i need to put a parenthetical here)

Data scientist here. I'm surprised nobody here has yet mentioned the false-positive issue with trawling a large dataset: even a tiny false positive rate leads to a very high probability of convicting an innocent person if you mine a large enough database.
The problem being that most everyone thinks they're fighting for the truth.

Person A will complain that "SJW types" are being hired, the complaint being that they are biased against the truth.

Person B will complain that "SJW types" AREN'T being hired, the complaint being that people biased against the truth are being hired instead.

I don't know the answers, but I do think the "let's present both sides" of journalism has left journalism doing a terrible job of effectively presenting the truth. Finding a path that embraces objective reporting AND denies efforts to exploit the weaknesses of systems designed to promote objectivity is something we've not figured out yet.

The problem with explicit leadership positions is that people have no downward mobility. If you are bad, then the organization loses a great resource. I like the model of dept head in academia. Professors really want to be doing research, but they also need a dept head who handles administration. No one really wants to do it, so it rotates through the department. There are some perks like a pay bump, reduced teaching, extra grad assistants (or whatever).

Many more people get a chance to try out a leadership role to grow, but it is expected to be temporary so people can go back to being technical with no repercussions. Individual contributors get better perspective on management. People that are good at it and have an affinity for it stay in the role longer.

Self organizing teams still have a leader, but the team selects the leader.

The requirements I've read (obvi not comprehensive superset) all require this only for, as you say, access to their data. If you're not accessing the customer data via mobile device, you don't need MDM.

I say my view of it isn't comprehensive, but a requirement that all devices be under MDM even if those devices don't have access to customer data, is quite an overreach.
All it needs is a "reloaded" or "evolved" and it'll be just like every other design-wank "reimagining" of a desktop UI I've seen for the past 20 years. Show me -- with data to back it up -- how this makes me more productive and I'll give it a closer look.

Best stick with "reloaded" for now, you've already got the word "Neo" in there and "evolved" is Microsoft's thing.

"Performances" by dolphins at the Vancouver Aquarium for several years have been feedings, and demonstrating research techniques (e.g. attaching and removing suction based sensors and tools, demonstrating how the animals have been trained to allow blood and other samples to be taken safely, etc). I still maintain my membership at the Vancouver Aquarium because I approve of pretty much all of their rescue programs, even though the breeding and in particular the Beluga program has been problematic in the past.

I am not a fan of keeping wild animals in captivity, but I am very much in favor of the types of rescue programs like those run by Vancouver Aquarium (and of captive breeding programs for at-risk, endangered, and extinct in the wild species).
> it's fair game for people to observe you traveling to your friend's house

This is true, but if you follow someone consistently enough then it is considered a crime--stalking.

Exemptions for special cases (PIs, bail bondsmen) were put in place with the expectation that those groups would not abuse the system, being "professionals." And of course the police have been allowed to track people under investigation. But private individuals and businesses do not have the right to stalk people.

It's time to put to rest this notion that occasional incidental observation of other people has anything in common with the persistent surveillance enabled by modern tech. One is expected and is fairly low risk, the other is ripe for abuse.

AC power has a voltage that (in North America) oscillates high and low at a rate of 60 cycles per second.

Three phase AC power sends power along three wires. The timing of the oscillations on each wire is shifted by one-third of a cycle relative to the other wires, so they all reach peak voltage at slightly different times. We call this a "phase shift" between the voltages, or that the voltages are "out of phase".

If these wires were connected to a 3-phase AC motor, the motor would spin because the current is drawn in succession along one coil and then the next, leading the rotor to follow. The motor coils are also called "phases".

Each wire is sometimes called a "phase" as shorthand.

Most flat org I've seen are not flat. The people naturally organised in tribes that are only known by themself, and that are in no organigram.

Each tribe have an implicit leader that bears no title yet influences all decisions just by regular social interractions.

Tribes communicate, negociate even, through the implicit leaders even if not directly.

Some kind of overuling bdfl also oversees all tribes, like a king, in case of conflict or emergency. Often the CEO.

It's not "flat org", it's just good ol' human society.

Rules are less clear, social skills are more required and if you get there in the early days you get a big advantages over the newcomers.

But if you get a nice tribe, things rock.

Bicycles are simple, efficient, light, long lasting and human-powered. That’s their charm.

While the word in common use has evolved to include “electric bicycles”, these are in my opinion no longer simple, efficient, long-lasting or human-powered.

An electric bike is imo uninteresting. Looking at the Jetson Bolt, it’s just another scooter. It doesn’t even have pedals so it doesn’t qualify as a bicycle.
Others have pointed out the shallow connection to Taoism. But even the discussion of the lambda calculus does not seem to be insightful. For example, recursion in lambda calculus does not need names.
My point was that "broken" feels like the wrong term. I think the site owner should be blamed if content the user needs is not either on the AMP page or accessible with an easily found link.

Ehhh.. no, not really. Not to anyone watching China beyond what appears in the mainstream headlines.

Things have been on a strong downtrend since 2012 and alarms have been ringing loud since around 2014.

Edit: Anyone writing a business plan including sensitive technology sales to the US government should DEFINITELY have seen this coming in 2016.

Edit2: Also, candidate Trump had loudly been yelling about China for over a year at that point

Actually they've made several. See BeOS and WinFS, for starters, though the idea is even older than that.
You are vastly over-exaggerating. According to https://aviation-safety.net/statistics/period/stats.php?cat=... , even when limiting to the period between ~1970 and ~2003, it is about 2 per month on average. The total sum of fatalities is just over 1000 people.

This is nothing to justify the massive surveillance.
Writer of the article here. Totally get the frustrations with paywalls. Bottom line is feature stories like this take weeks, months, sometimes a year or more to produce. Sites without paywalls have to go for clicks (which are worth close to zero now that Google/Facebook gobble up most online ad budgets). If low value clicks are all you have, you end up like dailymail.co.uk.

If you want high value news, you have to pay someone a reasonable salary to report/write it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy and here's another fun part of the story:

The FBI office has conducted hundreds of briefings for companies on cybersecurity threats and economic espionage. It discourages people from using their regular smartphones and laptops when traveling in China and warns male U.S. executives to avoid “honeypot” espionage attempts by attractive women. “If you’re not a 10 in the U.S., you’re not a 10 in China,” officials say they’ve told the executives.
To be honest, the Wheels in particular I thought were just kind of silly looking. I also didn't want to sign up and give my credit card to another random company, when I could use most of the vehicles around through other apps. I didn't know that they were cheaper than scooters -- I don't think I ever paid more than $2 for a scooter ride, and most were less than that. Next time I'll try the Wheels.

If I was going longer haul, I tended to use one of the electric pedal assist bikes instead of the scooters, but they were slightly harder to find than the scooters, which were everywhere.

According to the Cato institute, the most free countries in the world are mostly in Western Europe:

> The jurisdictions that took the top 10 places, in order, were New Zealand, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Denmark (tied in 6th place), Ireland and the United Kingdom (tied in 8th place), and Finland, Norway, and Taiwan (tied in 10th place). Selected countries rank as follows: Germany (13), the United States and Sweden (17), Republic of Korea (27), Japan (31), ...

So, yes, I would call what they have free speech, in any meaningful use of the word.

Decision making is fraught with lack of knowledge and uncertainty. I favor rough consensus. Face it - you're never going to get the best or "right" solution in most cases or practically ever. It's good enough to get something that most people involved think will work. I emphasize "involved" because there are always individuals who don't really care about the decision at inception. They sometimes complain if the idea doesn't work out, but then you can point back to the discussion and tell them they had a time and place to give their input.

I feel exercise of decision making is mostly about having stakeholders be aware that a topic is being discussed and making a space for open discussion. The outcome of the decision is largely irrelevant.
Probably from oxidative stress which can be caused by psychological stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, social stress, smoking, irregular blood glucose, viruses and bacteria, etc. Pretty much the already known risk factors for heart disease.
Here is one:

The scene between (actors) Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise in which Tom tells Jack "I'm not your son, and you're under arrest, you $#%#%@^!" is a good one. I forget the name of the film though.

Another one is the scene in the movie Julius Caesar (maybe based on some classical novel about him, possibly by Shakespeare?), which occurs just before his death. Powerful performances by both the actor playing Caesar and other Roman officials of the time.

If you want to see Orcas in their natural habitat, take the ferry between Vancouver and Victoria. I do it frequently and we see Orcas somewhat regularly. It's not as convenient or predictable, but that much more amazing when you see them in the wild.

Also, if your very lucky you can walk around the sea wall in Vancouver and occasionally see Orcas and other aquatic wildlife.
Don’t move the goalposts. Your original claim was proveably false, and needlessly flame bait.

Better to admit that was wrong if you’re interested in having a discussion, and maybe even influencing some people’s opinions.

Gun violence is a absolutely a big problem in the US. The interesting twist is it’s a Constitutional right to bear arms in the US, so this is a case of a limitation of government power leading to an adverse outcome. It’s a difficult and widely debated issue in American politics, and in fact the American people will ultimately decide how the rules around gun ownership will evolve over time in the hopes of reducing that number in pursuit of a safe and free society.
> The US "commitment to freedom and human rights" rings a bit hollow, IMHO.

Another example of this is how many governments we overthrew during the Cold War, and how many dictators we installed in their place.

>Google doesn't have to do any of that shit themselves and can gleefully put themselves at the top of every search (and are doing with an ever expanding array of search terms).

By that logic, there is nothing wrong with having a flat memory address space. With access control, the OS can ensure that one application never access another’s memory area. Why do we need isolated virtual address spaces so that application always believes it is the only application running?
Yes! I've already signed up, but have yet to take one out. The only thing is that it's not a bike -- it's an actual motor vehicle that you drive on roads at normal traffic speeds, which seems vaguely terrifying to me, as I've never really driven a motorcycle of any sort.
