> Talk about life with your candidates

> I have one simple rule: I don’t want to work with people whom I wouldn’t invite for coffee. When hiring a remote team member, I always talk to them about their life plans or favorite books. This small talk shows me whether a person will be a good fit for our team.

This is fine, so long as you recognize your own biases and don't expect to be mirroring yourself on to other people. Humans looking to make an honest living are not your personal canvas. If you look for people who can get along with you without necessarily expecting them to be your "bro", then being chummy with candidates should be acceptable. Be sure to accept people with different interests and personalities.

They could destroy the money collected from the tax and it would still improve the environment: the tax will discourage people from flying and encourage people to use alternatives, which helps the environment.
Thanks for linking the PDF, which says this:

> Around 50% of these emissions meanwhile can be attributed to the 10% richest of people around the world, who have average carbon footprints 11 times as high as the poorest half of the population, and 60 times as high as the poorest 10%. The average footprint of the richest 1% of people globally could be 175 times that of the poorest 10%.
I don't see a problem with the "traps" mentioned, which are only a mean to check whether the candidate has read the job description in full before applying and/or that (s)he can follow simple instructions when applying.

So not really traps at all, and not aimed at tripping candidates up.
Does the new system really stop those shenanigans though? I see notifications for what major areas an addon requires. I don't get notifications if an addon tries to reach out to the internet. Has anyone seen such a notification?
Ross Perot was a very significant third party candidate, which makes his appearance on the debates much more understandable.

Ross got 19% of the popular vote in '92, which was just shy of half of what Clinton and Bush got. Pretty remarkable showing honestly. Most 3rd party candidates never get more than a few percent.

I'm imagining magmastonealex found it useful for things like working with each of 10.0.0.0/16 without having to manage the digits of those base-256 numbers:

for (var i = 0; i < 2 ** 16; i++) {
work("10.0." + i);
}

as opposed to

for (var i = 0; i < 2 ** 16; i++) {
work("10.0." + i / 256 + "." + i % 256);
}
A few rules that are sorely missed

- Remember to check out local work culture.(Americans stick out like a sore thumb in many western European work social situations)

- Always, always, always have a good leader on site.
That assumes that NeXT did not undergo any dilution post-1987. Not sure this was the case — IIRC, they had to raise several more rounds of investment.
They are not the same thing, but they are close enough most of the time.

The issue with floating point arrises when comparing very close numbers.

I was born in the mid 90's and didn't start programming until college, so I missed out on all the 'evil Microsoft' fun and am probably missing something - but I thought the main issue was that MS was preinstalling IE and making it a pain to uninstall it. But for example - Mac's and i-Devices's all come bundled with Safari, why doesn't Apple also have this bad rep?
Did they "break" - ie some bug caused a problem - or did they change the framework add-ons used after giving months of notice? Most users use no add-ons, and wouldn't notice the change, and many of those who do were aware of this ahead of time even if the add-on developers were slow to wake up to the reality.
Hey, thanks for your feedback. It definitely shouldn't say "early" 2019 anywhere, just 2019. I'll update. Private beta had begun already, with the first invites having gone out, so do sign up if you're interested.

Ilograph is for system, software, network and other engineers looking for a diagramming platform that is more robust and precise than existing drag-and-drop offerings. In fact, the multi-perspective capability of ilographs lets engineers from different disciplines share their unique views of a single system.

By default, text isn't selectable by design; this was done so things like buttons and nav elements don't get highlighted. You should be able to select most text in the diagrams themselves, including notes and the source, but I'll look at making more things selectable.

I'm not sure I understand your last question. I can't make the AWS resources themselves public for browsing, I don't think.

Anyway, thanks again for checking it out and for your feedback!

>>"[..]you can't speak publicly against it, you can't act openly against it,[..]"

By this, I suppose you mean that, if you do it, you will get some angry answers in your direction, but, is that not true about anything deserving to talk about?

It works in the other direction too: I have heard pretty harsh insults against ecologist (yeah, sometimes they are even called fascists).

Yes, but all economic organization is forced through the power of the state, starting by property rights. So, nothing new there.

As a manager, motivation is one of the primary things I focus on. Every employee is different ... some people want money, some people want autonomy, some people want to be mentored, some people want to work on massive systems. I try not to get philosophical (or personal) but I at least try to get a flavor from a candidate as to what their motivation would be and how that might fit into the team.

Handwashing and bathing are very different things. Frequent bathing with soap is a new phenomenon in many cultures. Weekly baths were more common than daily baths in the US 50 years ago, and I have heard that many people bathed once or twice a year. Daily or twice-daily showering is extremely recent in almost all cultures, although many cultures had the equivalent of a sponge bath once or twice a day in antiquity.

I think in the past we not only were more comfortable with odor, we also used it to recognize people. And some people suffered from malodor and were rejected by society while others were blessed with good fragrance and benefited.

I quit soap (except on my hands) and it has helped my eczema tremendously. In my experience, I have been able to wash off excessive odor without soap if I feel like I smell, but my normal odor is inoffensive. I wear undershirts to wick the sweat away and clothing (cotton, nylon) that has better properties for keeping odor at a minimum. Polyester clothing (Under Armour) gets that "gym" smell and it's hard to get rid of. The polyester fabric promotes bacteria that create foul odors.

Yeah, like if there's a contract between them or a regular amount of spending, that's an amount of money that IBM's saving each year, but that's also money that RedHat won't be earning each year. I don't know how important, percentage-wise, that number would be for either side. I imagine any amount of money would be a far bigger deal for RedHat than IBM.

All levels of engineering and engineering management for the most part. I agree that it's easiest with senior people but I really do expect junior people to come in with some sort of portfolio as well. Being self driven and hacking on side projects (the code of which, I can ideally read somewhere) is by far the strongest hire signal to me.

There are a lot of young people with the time, energy and passion to develop stuff on their own. They are the juniors I try to hire.

The idea is to make hoarding data "just because you can" a liability. If you think it has value you should also protect it likewise. If you think data has less value than "move fast and break things" then simply delete the data ASAP after you don't need it anymore.

It is a law in the regulatory rather than scientific sense, in that it was adopted as a coding rule in the Demeter project.

You can call him "goofy", but he was anything but. I got to watch him give a speech in Fargo during the 92 campaign and it was amazing. At the time, I got into the habit of reading each candidates "book" they put out during the election. His was short, to the point, and very specific on what needed fixing. He was a serious man that ran into the establishment and got hammered.

Won't happen in this climate. Or any climate. This current clan is too business-friendly.

I could see someone like Elizabeth Warren or Ron Wyden getting behind it, but not really the rest of the pack (it's not a popular enough issue when you weigh it against things like student loan forgiveness, or universal healthcare).

I do wish it would become law here. It would make my professional life a bit harder (mostly on the security front, we already steadfastly refuse to "monetize the data" or even give it to any third party, to the point we've rejected those questions from investors) but it's definitely the right thing to do since the benefit for consumers is much more important.
That's nightly though.
How Each Country Contributed to the Explosion in Energy Consumption
Ignoring leap years, the pattern within a century [1] is that the calendar for year Y, where Y is the 2-digit year, can next be reused in:

Y+6 if Y is of the form 4N or 4N+1

Y+11 if Y is of the form 4N+2

Y+5 if Y is of the form 4N+3

If you start at a 4N year, this takes you to a 4N+2 year, then 4N+1 year, then a 4N+3 year, and then back to a 4N year, so you'll step through the century in steps of 6, 11, 6, 5, and repeat.

So, for 2019, 19 = 4x4+3, and we at at the add 5 stage of that 6, 11, 6, 5 pattern, and so (ignoring leap years) we get the same calendar in 2019+5 = 2024, 2024+6 = 2030, 2030+11 = 2041, 2041+6 = 2047, 2047+5 = 2052, 2052+6 = 2058, 2058+11 = 2069, 2069+6 = 2075, 2075+5 = 2080, 2080+6 = 2086, and 2080+11 = 2097.

Now it is time to stop ignoring leap year. 2019 is not a leap year, so strike from that list any leap years, leaving 2030, 2041, 2047, 2058, 2069, 2075, 2086, and 2097.

Note you can also go backward. 2019-6 = 2013, 2013-11 = 2002.

Another way to do this, perhaps simpler, is to note that two 2-digit years, Y1 and Y2, in the same century have the same calendar (ignoring leap years) if Y1 + Y1//4 == Y2 + Y2//4 mod 7.

The smallest year for which Y + Y//4 == K mod 7, for K=0,1,2...,6 is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 9, 4, 5.

So, back to 2019. 19 + 19//4 == 2 mod 7, which we see from the prior paragraph first occurs in 2002. That's a 4N+2, so we start the 6, 11, 6, 5 pattern at 11. Get the next three years that match 2002 from that pattern: 2013, 2019, 2024.

You could continue the cycle from there to finish off the century, buy perhaps easier is to note that the whole pattern of calendars and leap years repeats every 28 years.

28 years added to 2002, 2013, 2019, 2024 gives 2030, 2041, 2047, and 2052. Another 28 years gives 2058, 2069, 2075, and 2080. Next is 2086 and 2097.

Let's bust out of our confinement to the current century. Century C has the same calendars as century C+4, so our 2019 calendar will work in 2402, 2413, 2419, and so on.

Using 2000 as the base, whenever we cross a century boundary within the current 400 century span, it is like adding 5 to the Y + Y//4 value.

For 2019 we were using 19 + 19//4 == 2 mod 7 for our target. When we cross into the 2100s we pick up 5, and so need to subtract 5 from that 2 to compensate. Remember, we do all that mod 7, and the result is 4. In the 2100 century, then, we are looking for years with Y + Y//4 == 4 mod 7. As we saw 6 paragraphs back, 2109 would be the first such year.

2109 is a 4N+1 year, which puts us at the second 6 in the 6, 11, 6, 5 pattern, giving us 2115, 2120, 2126 as the other matching years in the first 28. Repeat those every 28 to fill with the 2100s.

Don't forget to delete the leap years!

Note: the calendars for the leap years are only off during January and February. You can go ahead and use, for example, the 2019 calendar in 2024 for March through December.

[1] for our purposes, century == fullyear//100, in Python 3. E.g., the current century is [2000, 2099].
This seems like a strange question to ask. I don’t encounter many libertarians who support UBI, nor UBI proponents who claim to be libertarian, so I’m not sure that the people who advocate UBI would agree at all with the beliefs you listed.

As for me personally, I’m open to the idea of basic income, but I specifically like Milton Friedman’s “Negative Income Tax” idea more. As for why, I think that (1) we can afford and have shown politically for several generations that we do want a basic social safety net for everyone, and (2) the current way we provide it is pretty mediocre. The idea of replacing the current system with simple cash payments seems to me like a potential cost saving and efficacy improving move.

But since it hasn’t been done on a large scale before I’d rather see that idea thoroughly tested and researched before I’d have confidence that any nation should fully adopt it, and IMO its not very easy to design a good test.

Thus I’d say those ideas are more of an intellectual curiosity than a position I’d advocate.
The point (not very well communicated) is that the comparison is pre-tax when it should be post-tax.

That's fair, although even if they still only focus on breaches I think it might improve privacy indirectly: the database that's hardest to hack is the one that doesn't exist. If companies get in the mindset that storing client data is a big liability they might decide that archiving everything and anything forever might not be such a clever decision after all.
They've just spent $34billion for what is essentially a culture and a customer base (all the software is open source, and the building are leased), so yes they absolutely can do whatever they want but burning it all to the ground is going to cause some interesting questions about exactly how that increased shareholder value. It could all fall apart but IBM management have a massive incentive to make it work.
> insistence on bureaucracy is merely (intended or not) a codification of conservatism

That's actually the point. You get a group of people together to agree on who are the good people. You put them in place. You then install mechanisms to ensure that original view of "good" propagates, with changes being heavily guarded until a consensus similar to the original one re-appears.

Governing isn't about good and bad. It's about amongst whom consensus must be formed to produce action. Expanding the pool of necessary votes is what checks and balances accomplish.

How does UBI square with libertarian values?

This question is meaningless in the abstract. UBI doesn't inherently square with, or fail to square with, Libertarian values. You'd have to be asking about a specific proposal to get an answer to this.

That said, a UBI proposal that funds the UBI through purely voluntary means would, indeed, square with Libertarian values, which are their core reduce to "you can't initiate force, or use fraud, against others. Force is only for self-defense".

Free markets are the best arbiters of truth, including how it determines what each person is worth.

A UBI scheme which was funded through entirely voluntary means would actually be part of the free market, so there is no conflict.
UBI is the least complex, most "small government" compatible way to redistribute wealth. It also introduces a minimum of unintended market distortions, compared with targeted subsidies and means tested programs. It seems like an appealing option if you lean libertarian but you accept the necessity or desirability of at least some wealth redistribution. Assuming it can be done in a way that's both financially feasible and provides an adequate replacement for other welfare programs, which isn't obvious.
"Mentally stable" does not really capture the American electorate's impression of Perot's candidacy in 1992. He was significantly damaged by his choice to drop out for a few weeks in the middle of the summer—while leading in the polls!—blaming shadowy Republican operatives for threatening his daughter's wedding.

It's not clear what you're asking. Mozilla changed the add-on API, and the new API does not have all the features that the old API had. Two add-ons that I liked very much died during the switch.
