Maybe the employee gets their lawyer involved, and then the company gets their entire cadre of highly-paid lawyers specializing in exactly this thing involved and regardless of whether the law's on the employee's side, he gets a legal fight that will just drain his resources for years and years (or until he's broke).
We call this actuals. So, you put an estimate then you track how long it actually took. I've done it before. If it's accurate and used responsibly it's a somewhat useful metric. But getting accurate data is hard and tends to cause overhead.

This is different from tracking ticket age. A ticket may be open for 3 weeks but that doesn't mean it was being actively worked on for 3 weeks. That's easy to calculate and can actually be more useful for tracking velocity.
I think it is companies prerogrative to find a way to have cheaper qualified labor (within legal boundaries). Where companies fail in most cases is a qualifed/quality part of equation. Unfortunately I was in situations where given a pool of applicants I wouldn't hire any but stupid head count game is you snooze , you lose and no, management doesn't always understand addition by substraction priciple :-)

also I see a lot of developers overestimating how good they are and demanding compensation that is not realistic to what they can deliver but they are within their rights to ask and if they get it more power to them
Thanks! Will keep a close watch
You made something that was already hard to read, harder to read. Congratulations !
"The problem is that this cash is essentially their
entire savings. Which means their ability to fight the forfeiture is limited"

You're implying that people with reasonable documentation for the source of their cash can't just fill out some forms, but need to hire lawyers or something. Have you seen news articles or other sources describing such a situation?
In the same sense that flying to orbit is a step to getting to the Moon. We did Mercury before Apollo.
People are complaining that this is painful to read on Twitter, so I expected it would be painful.

Then I actually followed the link and it was delightful! I'm not really a fan or a detractor from the medium, but I don't understand the hate in this particular context.

PS: What a lovely thread about the reality of peeing in space!
Does this kind of action actually absolve them of GDPR responsibilities?

If an EU citizen/resident/etc accessed the site from a country that’s not blocked, or via VPN, are they unable to ask for their information or have it scrubbed?

What if a person later becomes an EU citizen?

What if they are a dual citizen?

I don’t understand how these geo blockers are able to make anyone compliant.
This doesn't even touch Chinese coal emissions. The latter are easily visible from space, and unlike ours are recently deployed and continue being built.
Meanwhile the 20 year old office building I work just had extensive repairs to the concrete.
I have noticed that flash is very popular with Chinese community - as per my observation of how widespread it is in Chinese top streaming companies. The industry which they operate is in streaming Chinese TVs shows and game streams.
If were Chinese and use their website to watch game streams or TV/movies, you will need it.
I don’t disagree but only on the concept of chattel slavery, there are other forms of slavery. The idea that there are better jobs for every single employee there isn’t true. Amazon knows that, you know that, the parent knows that. And since people have to work to survive, it is a bit of a trap or a form of wage slavery.

But then if you sit around on welfare, you’re demonized less than a worker that undoubtably contributes to society. If you ask for a pay raise and a union, the propaganda goes in full affect.

Resistance to improving working conditions seems to be almost as strong as resistance to ending slavery in the south as well.

Regardless of the use of the word slavery, I’m all for supporting the people who actually work on the bottom rung. Wage competition between union and salary jobs are the main reason things are as good as they even are in the US today.
* Except, annoyingly, for Netflix and Amazon originals. I waited a year for Stranger Things Season 2 to come out on BluRay. :(
This is a distinction without a difference. The "trunk based development" has exactly the same issue with merging when it comes time to submit: what you're submitting onto may have moved. All you've done is change the name.
Didn’t they try to get Amazon to pay a fee for each item sold through their app?

We use ES for our searching data within our application. We store about 20,000,000 rows of data in the primary table, with plenty of dependent and secondary tables. ES takes the load off our MySQL cluster for generating reports and fulfilling searches.
That's my favorite graphic now, too!
I'm not saying the employee would win, but nor would your scenario occur, in most cases. They'd just pay them off. It's easier to avoid that entirely and offer severance. To get back to my original point, being a real employee rather than a contractor means there's a cost to arbitrary termination, which provides the employee with some additional job security. This is one of the many reasons why one might prefer to be an employee, rather than a contractor, even if there are tax implications.
It seems like every day there's a new Startup I've never even heard of reaching insane valuations out of thin air.
The new crop of wannabe autocrats call every inconvenient fact a lie. They imply a vast conspiracy to undermine their "always right" supporters and the one and only leader who can fix things.

In democracies with bad leaders you might get "it needs more study" or "we can't afford it" or just silence. At worst opponents are labeled "misguided". But the new autocrats end all conversation by turning facts and those who believe them into conspiring enemies.
A lot of the landfill is unstable, and some of it is falling apart. Like the stuff under the millennium tower.
first thing: your form should open through a web server, FormSubmit will not work in pages browsed as HTML files.

second thing: please don't forget to check your spam folder as well. Sometimes FormSubmit emails get in there.
I have owned cars for over 20 yrs so I have a pretty good sense of just what a hole in my pocket the whole thing is :)

There are all sorts of costs associated with car ownership beyond mere purchase cost and repairs...things like fines associated with cars that fall more heavily on poorer people...there is just A LOT of cost associated with cars.

Looks like this article is trying to reconcile the multiple conflicting studies on this topic, especially around some of the wording of the questions. Here's the key takeaway:

"Many of the people who have $400 or more available to them likely have already earmarked that money for another obligation (and so, in other words, the cash isn’t really available to them)."

So if you're not in a good position, what little money you have in savings is already going to go somewhere else by the end of the month, and adding an expense on top of that would require an additional debt of some kind. It's still not clear to me, though, how credit cards factor into this since many people put any significant expense on their credit card rather than writing checks/handing over cash.
Here is Scarborough, an eastern suburb (with the suburban neighbourhoods you'd expect) in the City of Toronto.

> Incidents in Scarborough have accounted for more than 46 per cent (or 19 of 41) of pedestrian deaths this year, despite the eastern borough containing just 23 per cent of the city’s population and about 26 per cent of its road kilometrage.

Why? Pointing SSL Labs at my bank, it's what they use (ECDH secp256r1). What does your bank use? Or is there a site that you consider more important than that one?

Would you fire the folks at Let's Encrypt, who only offer certs of RSA and P-{256,384}? Gmail, where they do offer x25519, but where most browsers use secp256r1?

Define ruinous. I'd expect car ownership to be someone's 2nd largest expense. I could see how it could tip someone over the edge.
Going grocery shopping is not similar to moving. If you can't shop at one grocery store, you can go to the next. Finding a new place to live and moving is a major undertaking.
Not everyone owning a given company has a risk/reward preference that matches some hare-brained acquisition.

However, the S&P 500 is approximately the same as the stock market, and so I think it's arguable that "everyone" together does have about the same risk/reward preference.

Buybacks, even if better in the best of all possible worlds, make it difficult to change your mind, whereas an index fund could simply be sold, rather than having to issue more stock. It seems like a lower-friction alternative to accomplish something economically similar.
The section about calculating the availability of hard and redundant dependencies ignores the fact that systems often fail in tandem. For e.g. you might have a primary and secondary database in different AZs, each with 99.9% availability. This gives read operations a hypothetical uptime of 6-9s. But hidden SPOFs like operator error, VM infra failing, load balancer or other networking outages can make the 0.01% failure time overlap, blowing away your 6-9s dependency guarantee.
the point of cloudflares service is to make content faster to access by hosting it closer to you. that requires that the content is available on a different ip address. this is not obfuscation but purely a side-effect.

obfuscation would be to put the content on a different location without any other benefits. that's what the use of a vpn achieves (in the other direction). people use a vpn to obfuscate their ip address. cloudflare does not provide their service to obfuscate a hosts ip address.
Lots of privately funded things are run in an arrogant, press release, “look at us” fashion. That doesn’t make them useful or interesting.
Poor people experience even deeper existential crises, but they usually don't get to write novels or essays in influential publications.

If given the opportunity to do so, the words and metaphors they'd choose would be alien to most people who aren't in poverty.

Metaphors are the easiest, quickest way to evoke empathy, but when you're poor, your daily life is significantly different, and finding shared metaphors to convey your feelings is harder. Then there's the language barrier (style, spelling, vocabulary, grammar).

Speaking of the US alone: most born again Christians emerge from some kind of existential crisis. I don't believe the underlying crisis ever goes away, but it's turned into some kind of tool/resource.
> Owning rental property isn’t a tidy math problem.

I'm not talking about owning, but about encouragement of building. If income is limited to CPI, regardless market characteristics, what incentive is there to take a risk and build?
Good call. I think the discussion comes down to the difference between Uber being in the market vs Uber being a marketplace. The former is where subsidy and oligopoly belong. The latter is where Uber superficially resembles a market but is not.
You can put the blame for Trump, Brexit, Bozo-naro and other populists squarely at the feet of the previous administrations.

The political elite alienated the population.

By spying, failing to prosecute financial criminals that decimated economies, stealing several billion dollars, failing to pro-actively prevent a human calamity in the Russia x US proxy wars in Syria, squabbling amongst themselves as the non-politicians gained in popularity.

Can you blame people who’s savings and jobs were annihilated by the GFC and saw no major arrests voting the incumbents out?

Can you blame the underprivileged domestic populations in Europe from turning right and nationalistic when they see spikes in homelessness, criminality and culture friction when their small towns are flooded with desperate immigrants?

Can you blame people voting out de-facto organised crime from power after they rob billions from a third world economy?

I don’t think it’s right. I think Bozo-naro is an embarrassment of a human being. But I empathise with the people who threw the previous job out.
I don't think I started with a playlist like that. It's been a while, but I think I started with specific artists/music (albeit from the 90s) that I liked. I don't think you can expect individually satisfying suggestions if you request generic music in the first place.
Hosting an exit node is not illegal (in the United States), and generally you cannot be held liable if the network was used for illegal actions as a consequence of being an exit node and not committed by you (this is not legal advice); however, you have to be able to prove that and it does not necessarily mean you are protected from being investigated, having your door kicked in, and/or your equipment seized.
That's a fantastic graphic. All the intersections are called out. [Perhaps we can give those last four just missing one ingredient names too.]

It's subtitled "A reason for being" with hit me with two-sided feelings of fulfillment and dystopia. The positives are readily apparent and the negative is where my mind goes to examine the flip-side. One problem in Japan seems to be that there's a sort of monoculture of success that is damning. Sort of like if everyone follows this exact formula in a the top select endeavours we could end up with everyone being fulfilled but dying off as a group. I guess this could get wrapped into (3) to prioritize what isn't being done/enough.
The article repeatedly mentions credit cards as debit but not mortgages (or rental expense). But it seems unlikely that credit cards are the biggest debt/financial-obligations people hold.

That’s the algorithm, sure. The tiles aren’t marching squares though, and calling them after how they were generated is confusing! If they produced rectangular or other non-square tiles would you still insist on not calling them Wang tiles?
Spending over 5 grand and leaving the NVMe slot on the motherboard empty doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Even if all the SSD does is run the OS it will make the machine much snappier. Is there some reason?

Otherwise, this is a solid example of a high end build.
In a more traditional SCT AD like Tapenade, there isn't really anything that corresponds to recording of program operations at runtime. Zygote arguably does something semantically equivalent to recording a trace (at the interprocedural level), but of course the idea is that once you've optimised that away we approximate Tapenade – so the line is a bit blurred.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your core point: "tape-free" conflates multiple things, and none of them really capture the AD design space in a useful way. Hopefully as the field settles down we'll figure out more useful axes for comparing these tools.

I see, the point is that you want to extend someone else's protocol, without their cooperation, and without conflicting with any future protocol changes they make.

That is indeed tricky. With protobuf you could claim some high-numbered fields and hope that no one else does the same thing -- with some randomization you can probably be pretty confident. With Cap'n Proto you can't really do it at all since fields are identified by offset, and making structs arbitrarily large is probably not what you want. With JSON, because fields are identified by name, it's possible to choose a name that almost certainly will not collide with anyone else.

I'd argue that the right answer here would be to ask the spec owners to add extension points, which hopefully would not be controversial. Conceptually this could take the form of something like map<string, any> (there are cleaner idiomatic ways to do it in each of Protobuf and Cap'n Proto but the details are beside the point of this conversation).
Regarding 2: Probably impossible. Regarding 1: hold websites and ad networks legally culpable for delivering malware from ads. Probably also not possible.

The graphic linked by kybishop includes 'vocation' as well as the other intersections and descriptions of the four unnamed areas of overlap.
> No, you were not -- you were (and still are) trying to pass your biases (Farage "patriotic" and unfairly portraited while being "uncontroversial") as objective, by attacking straw men in how public debate arrives at objective conclusions about him. I pointed you at one of many examples of why that is not the case, and you doubled-down on it while completely ignoring the bits of my post that are inconvenient to your biases.

In my original post I said something along the lines of "He was less controversial than Bolsonaro" not that he was uncontroversial.

You didn't point me at anything objective. The best you linked me to a guardian article about an ad-campaign that claimed it was racist because one white person was removed from the photo. I think that sort of logic is ridiculous.

As for me ignoring parts of your post, yes I ignored parts of your post because I thought they were irrelevant to the point I was originally trying to convey.

> Because there is no argument to make: Farage's "policies" are just a hodgepodge of badly-thought-out slogans designed to appeal to the worst instincts of the electorate. Like on Brexit, which he campaigned for but for which (like all "hard brexiteers") he has no practical or coherent plan.

Well UKIP's manifesto of 2015 is a 76 page document according to the BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32318683

I chose this because this is the last time I believe they fought a general election with Farage as Leader. So this would be indicative of his policies (as he would have had a fair amount of input in the process).

From the BBC summary it seems quite comprehensive. It seems to cover a similar number of areas as Labour's manifesto of 2015.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32284159

So I think your characterisation is quite unfair.

> As sad as it might make you, dog-whistling is a widely understood term in political debate, and there is little doubt that it is precisely what the likes of Trump and Farage do. (Well, to be fair, Trump has gone beyond that in recent days, turning to out-and-out discriminatory language.)

I know what the term means. However many of those that use the term do so as an accusation. They don't mention who they are whistling at and what terms they are using to do that.
While natural languages and mathematics are two important formalisms by which technologists communicate, it seems to me that we also use a much broader set of visual symbolic systems. These include tables of data in various formats and figures that incorporate drawings, diagrams, charts, pictures and videos. These are now as important as the text and formulas. Problems with tables and figures are one of the main reasons for retractions.

It seems that philosophers like Wittgenstein deal with all text communications (like a law book) or at most with text and formulas (like a math book). It not clear how their work relates to something such as a complex, detailed structure diagram of a molecule like a enzyme, such as are frequently published.
> "... For example, if a system makes use of two independent components, each with an availability of 99.9%, the resulting system availability is >99.999% ... "

This does not seem correct.
For some reason, I am reminded of the paradox of more hard disc space. Or more lanes on the highway. Any time to capacity is increased, it seems to get consumed and before long, you're out of space again.

This presents a difficulty that perhaps researchers and pollsters can tease out: How many of these cash-poor people genuinely are earning enough to live comfortably vs. don't know enough or don't care enough to build savings, and instead, spend up to their income? Increase their income and they'll just increase their spending and be back where they started.

It seems likely that we could take these numbers down substantially by improving financial management education. Or, simply accept that a large percentage of Americans want to live their life to the fullest that their income can allow.
Do you have any benchmarks or anything? It seems like this article was "I picked the best things and got good performance". I would argue that if you are going into deep learning that AMD'S new cpus that they just released is something that should be considered.
I appreciate your concern and don't worry we never stop this service because this is the best product of Devro LABS so far. And also we had several acquisition requests as well. However, we decided to keep this service with us. With FormSubmit 2.0 we introduced the sponsorship program.
So you can help us with this valuable service.
I was drawing a parallel to the way the inefficiencies of the 'Oligarchs' eventually drew so much capital from the USSR'S system that it collapsed. This happened in the past with the UK as well and looks like the same low efficiency management system is/has drawing/drawn so much money out of the system that China risks collapse from all this money stolen. Tens of thousand of 'loyal party members' have arranged boltholes in hundreds of safe havens and have exported whatever cash they can grab to these safe places, with all manner of pseudonames being the account holders of record. Here in Canada many local propertye markets have been disrupted by this cash - the buyers over spend by factors of 2 or even more - why not? it is not their money, it is just play money. Canadian are fighting back and have emplaced rules that have cost these oligarchs 50% or more of their profits or even their total investment.
More will be written on this, but all involved are going to the cleaners, and some to the organ donor facilities.
None of these people dare visit China any more, or even travel through a country that is friendly to China in case they are kidnapped and sent home.

I think the problem is that poor people transferring money typically don't have such documentation on them. (As was the case in the situations I just googled, which are easy to find. For example: https://www.vox.com/2015/6/17/8792623/civil-forfeiture-charl...) Most such seizures are also tied up with "suspicion" of drug trafficking, which means it's no longer a matter of proving the money is yours. You must now prove the money is not involved in your supposed drug trafficking.
