Managers have a lot less power in decisions like firing and compensation than you might think. Note that by "manager" I don't mean the entire management unit. Of course executives & directors have influence, but at a standard software company a staff+ engineer will 100% have more "power" than a regular manager (and will be paid a lot more as well).
At this point I'd consider the government more competent than Equifax.

It's just basic supply and demand
The Nord is also all-digital, so it should never have tuning problems.
That's what I'm guessing, but I know basically nothing about cargo ships. I'm googling around to see if there are any potential prevention methods along the lines of "just add a bit of rice to your ore..." 0_o
You should level incoming candidates based on their performance during interviews, their prior projects and portfolios, not what level they were labelled as at a previous company. I don't care if you were a Level 38 at Foo Inc., I'm going to interview you and compare what I think you're capable of to the levels at my company and make a recommendation based on that.
Tracks what? The fact that you exist? That's public record.
And Facebook supported Obama. It’s not like Silicon Valley attempts to be impartial on any level.

https://ijr.com/ex-obama-campaign-director-fb/

> A former Obama campaign official is claiming that Facebook knowingly allowed them to mine massive amounts of Facebook data — more than they would’ve allowed someone else to do

https://www.rt.com/usa/421808-obama-facebook-mine-data/

Carol Davidsen, former director for media analytics for Obama’s 2012 campaign, has poured oil onto the fire by reveling in a series of tweets that Facebook allowed them to do “things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do.”

That reportedly included “suck[ing] out the entire social graph” – an individual’s network of friends on Facebook – in a bid to target more and more potential voters through friends’ friends on social media.

...

After Facebook “realized” what the Obama campaign staffers had been doing, they preferred to turn a blind eye for one simple reason: “they were on our side,” Davidsen claimed.

They came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.
That’s exactly how it works currently, but 9 numbers isn’t enough entropy to protect against a brute force enumeration.
And speaking of capitals: York, the capital of what would become Canada at the time was also burned down.

In fact, it's the reason the capital of Canada is Ottawa today. When the Province of Canada was established, it was deemed that York (which is now Toronto) was way too vulnerable since a US army could get there from Buffalo in less than a day and ships from Rochester even faster. By contrast, Ottawa (then called Bytown) was surrounded by swamps, further inland, well away from any US city, but still had access to rivers so it wasn't excessively isolated.

That and the fact that it was halfway between Toronto/Kingston (the English cities) and Montreal/Quebec City (the French cities) also made it a good political compromise.

So without that war, Toronto would probably be the Canadian capital and Ottawa would be a glorified rest spot between Toronto and Montreal.
I don't think "war with the US" was meant to imply...

Since I wrote it I'll clue you in. The phrase plainly means a "modern" "war", in which USA decides, usually after extensive government and media gaslighting, to violently invade a nation that did nothing to provoke such invasion. We've done this many times since the early 1950s. This entire WWII sub-thread is a quivering mass of willful cynical misreading and look-how-much-irrelevant-history-I-know posturing.
This is pretty clearly not the case. I rented in relatively hot markets --- there was actual bidding for the SOMA loft we got back around 2000! --- and I had bad credit (put differently: when I was renting, I would have had better credit had I no contact with the consumer credit system whatsoever), and my credit score never once kept me from getting a lease, or even changed the terms of a lease.
This is my experience as a staff dev in an org with this type of org chart. Staff devs are considered lead engineers with no reports and sit in most of the lead meetings.
Again, it's not about the regulation or privacy. It's about how the regulation actually works and the processes and procedures it requires that are being debated, with the current implementation being a poor example that isn't really having the intended effect.

> "adtech is right there with selling hard drugs on street corners, and factories polluting rivers"

Those aren't industries and the trillion-dollar market caps of advertising companies speak to commercial value. The world is more than just you, so you don't speak for everyone and your singular interests do not matter at all in this discussion and you use an adblocker or stay off the internet if you want.

I always take the time to have in-depth conversations about adtech here but you haven't said anything other than state an emotional position about what you want the world to be like. That leaves nothing to discuss.
It would seem that the first step would be to delegitimize those election results and any ensuing laws or orders from those officials.
Yupp. Genders would help here.

In languages where the gender for government and the one for company differs it would be possible to by succinct and clear.

In Russian e.g., the "it" could be neuter if refering to breaking up the government, or feminine for the company. In Russian it's common to insert the word like company which has an obvious gender, so they would write: a founder of company (fem.) "Facebook", which allows you to then refer to it later using a feminine pronoun. Though if transliterated Facebook would be masculine. (его vs её, though this wouldn't work transliterated since the masculine and neuter accusative share the same pronouns)

French resists this as they don't normally give words like Facebook a gender.

For German it could work. Though I don't often say "the Facebook", if I considered it neuter (the ending being book -> das Buch), I would think my thought process would be obvious to the listener, and therefore you could make this succinct and clear in German too. (sie vs es)

For English I'd include a noun describing what I'm refering to, so: Chris Hughes, a Facebook Founder, Is Working With the Government to Break Up the Company (though maybe slightly stilted?)
My current job also offers unlimited time off, and this is a similar approach that I took when evaluating. I basically wrote it off as break-even with my last job's time offering, as it seemed reasonable to assume I shouldn't get less.

Reflecting back though, I think much of this has to be determined by the manager who looks at these things. I've been fortunate to have good circumstances with a very understanding boss who seems to be content with whatever time off is needed as long as things are moving forward. I worry many others won't have the same luck.
What does this mean
Seems like an effective solution to this would be to intentionally "thump" the hull at calculated nodes within the structure, resettling the cargo at calculated points in time when the ship is undergoing a motion within certain predicted bounds.
You can absolutely do both of those things. I book and check in with debit cards routinely, and there are major carriers that rent cars on debit cards.
Lulzlabs/AirChat: Free Communications for Everyone
This is true for primitives but not [completely] true for messages. Message still have the "hasMessage" semantics. So if you truly need to differentiate between unset and default for primitives, you can box them in messages.
The system appears to have been architected for purely offline use and that constraint would need to be lifted - otherwise, I agree, whatever method is used to associate a phone number with iMessage could be used to issue an “Airdrop token” also.
More importantly, who cares about campaign ads when the election coverage that’s supposedly impartial is larger age more frequent. The relentless focus on the Republican candidate we hate most by the US media did more to elect Trump than any ads.
Eh, both.

You demonstrate commitment by surviving the hazing ritual.
That logic is literally ridiculous. Midtown Manhattan used to have single family homes too, now a half acre costs a hundred million dollars.
Are technical details on what they actually did publicly available?

Was this just a portscan and someone logging into an unsecured database? Did they use a zero day or was a system unpatched with a known vulnerability?
It was not all US citizens. It was ones who were also UK citizens by Great Britain's laws.

That said, there were a lot of problems with how impressment worked. But that was separate from the question of whether becoming an American citizen made someone no longer a British citizen.

I didn't know we were talking about hobbies.
There’s a difference between disclosing “I am phone XYZ and I want to AirDrop” and “here is my phone number.” I would call that an information disclosure.

With that said I agree with you that it’s an intuitive and non-serious disclosure, but it appears some disagree.
Every single homeowner I've talked to here has complained about the housing crisis, yet has been opposing development near their house.

Incredible that people can be so willfully blind that they don't see how their own actions are contributing to the crisis. It's a real tragedy of the commons
There's an entire research field that works and publishes on this.
You’ll notice he now apparently has the luxury of becoming all moral and do-good after he already made his millions erecting Facebook.

In the best case he is truly disturbed in what he did and the other, more likely case is he is desperately trying to stay relevant, get attention for himself and stay on the cusp of “I’m doing good for the world”

It’s just too perfect a narrative to think this guy is anything other than a phony.
Having to file paperwork and dealing with every state's tax office where one remote employee works. https://twitter.com/Shpigford/status/1152296035533905920 has a great rant
The US (well, the Continentals) invaded British Canada early during the Revolution for some of the same reasoning-- rally the ethnic French and deliver a blow to British North America. That effort failed as well.
PEG

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEG_ratio
I don't understand why companies don't just let there stock price fall. This makes no material difference to the operating of the company, right?
I didn’t flag but it’s obvious why: the title and introduction paragraph is comically misleading. Without the hyperbole it would be an interesting discovery, with the hyperbole it’s obnoxious fear mongering.
Yes, and Apple still has lots of cash on hand, >$200billion. $1billion is a small price to pay in order to solidify a strong bargaining position with a multi-billion dollar vendor contract that has been a legal and financial thorn in their side. Especially given their long term roadmap for i-devices has been one of gradual vertical integration.
Why does this same problem never occur with USB flash drives? Is it just that a USB device is usually large enough to have room for some power capacitors?
I have a question relating to black holes. The equivalence principle in General Relativity says there is no way to devise an experiment to determine if I am in a craft accelerating due to thrust from "engines" of some g or in that same craft on the ground being accelerated by the same g due to gravity.

But wouldn't this break down inside of a black hole?

Imagine I fire a beam of light directly at a black hole. It would never been seen to come out on the other side, because it would become trapped in that black hole.

But if I fired that same beam of light normal to the path of my craft accelerating at the same g as that black hole, wouldn't the light be able to pass right through it?

So doesn't that break the equivalence principle?
Pretty sure her campaign wasn't charged for ads that weren't shown. If you buy a Superbowl ad and it wasn't shown and you weren't charged for it, it isn't a breach of contract.
No padding, just lots and lots of organelles.
How is it an intractable political problem when a large majority of the US, and a larger majority of the world, is in favor of strong governmental action to stave off climate disaster?

A political revolution against the corruption of our democracy by extractive industries is
much, much easier than going to other planets. It might get a bit bloody or require you to march in the street, but it will sure as hell be easier and cost fewer lives in the long run.

It is cowardly to assume that our political situation can’t change; it’s merely a matter of what kind of action you’re willing to take.
Let me reword what you said so that I better understand it. Is this what you're saying: "Also, there is some merit to the idea to torture children, these facilities are hugely overburdened and have procedures to follow"

I think that's the gist of your argument, even if it is putting words in your mouth.
Can not agree more.

Anyone wonder why IC starts at level 3 but managers start at level 5? It's not because they're separate but equal.
Career and compensation growth is a function of scaling your output.

The more senior you get and the higher your compensation gets, the greater the expectation is that you accelerate the work of others around you.

Historically, this has been easiest to do through management. If I make a team of 10 each 10% more effective, then I've effectively doubled my (individual) output.

Software engineering is different than most traditional roles. It offers other ways to accelerate the velocity of others; ways that don't require being a manager.

This is why compensation can be decoupled from management in these roles and why parallel tracks can truly exist in this role.

But the tracks remain parallel only as long as you're continually scaling your output. This takes effort and discipline. It happens more automatically through management promotion (though not for managers that never get promoted to lead larger teams).
It wasn't always a requirement! They had other heuristics before they had credit scoring databases, like, "do your parents have an account here", and, "do you have the correct skin color and religious affiliation".
if it has an ssh client, you can reverse proxy out - since that machines lives on the internal network as well, then you have access to everything else. You can even forward ports to other machines over the reverse tunnel and stuff...
Then de-legitimization might become a weapon of its own right...
The problem is that if/when the Democrats win, the Republicans will use the same tactics and delegitimize those election results. We are effectively living in two forked realities with no way to rejoin them.
This is a weird title given the content of the article, which is that researchers observing a supermassive black hole got a result completely consistent with general relativity.
> It wouldn't be weird, though it might be hard, to create a regulation that says, "'veggie burger' means burger made without meat".

This reminds me of the time I tried to Google the difference between jam, jelly, and marmalade and wound up on the FDA website. After reading the "Requirements for Specific Standardized Fruit Butters, Jellies, Preserves, and Related Products"[1] I'm of the opinion that these sorts of regulations end up costing the government a lot of money and do absolutely nothing to clear up consumer confusion in the market.

I'd even go so far as to guess it causes more confusion. For example, I've Googled "the difference between jam, jelly, and marmalade" twice now and I still don't really know the answer.

That is entirely possible but I don’t trust Russia Today as a source, and, I have never heard of IJR before. Would like to see other sources saying the same.
Yes, but now look at their growth as well and you'll understand Amazon's valuation is not wholly out of line.

Maybe it would have been better to say, the younger generation needs to be better represented by politicians as they are the ones who will be suffering. There is only one way this will happen, I am not asking for anything other then nature taking its course.
Maybe I was somewhat crass, but wanting a culture shift in a very natural way is neither alarming nor repugnant. If older generations didn't go away, we would still have slaves and society would be run by kings, and countless other out dated policies.
The baby boomer generation is larger then most so they have more votes and there out dated views are keeping us from being the best we could be.

I think those numbers are for passenger flights carrying large amounts of people, not private jets carrying very few.
That's because nobody else (in the streaming video space) is trying to serve ads based on who's watching the content. YouTube is in a different advertising market that nobody else has yet attempted to enter.
I don't know if you're technically-and-therefore-the-best-kind-of correct about this, but something like FOIA broadly applies to local governments as well, which I know because my friend 'bpchaps has been applying it at scale to municipalities all across the US.
For this to even be remotely viable you also probably want to touch the third rail of Prop 13.
The a logical equation assuming perfect rationality and an infinite timeline with a company that is only growing. Reality is clearly much more complex and there are thousands of reasons why someone would sell their shares.
First off, WSL and MSYS2's startup time isn't really fair to compare, since if you're running on windows you're probably going to be running native python. Especially if you're using the kind of application that has scripts/plug-ins. I don't currently have a windows machine to test that, but I imagine you do since you just timed it.

I also don't agree that 10ms is ridiculous. That's barely any time at all. That's less than a frame, at 60Hz. And, how many interpreter instances are you going to start up? Surely, no more instances than you have cores; that means, worst-case scenario if you have a ryzen threadripper or a maxed-out POWER9 (both have 96 cores), a second. For most people, it's going to take under half a second; considering most programs take tens of seconds to start up, I think that's fine.

Not to mention that if you have 'complex initialization code', that's going to take a long time regardless of language; what we're testing the the language core baseline startup time.
When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s (Illinois, Florida, Alabama) I remember teachers buying supplies out of their own pocket. I suspect it's a perennial issue. Expenditure increases usually go straight to salaries--ideally to teachers but these days increasingly to administrative staff.

Living in California and observing (but soon to be participant) in how parent participation works here it seems to me, pretense and motivations notwithstanding, that the sociologic function is really about keeping parents engaged with their children's school. Private schools are even worse in this regard, both the cheaper Catholic ones and the expensive ones drowning in cash.

My point is that we should stop looking to these things as agents of change. Among other things, it causes us to cyclically attempt to disrupt and revolutionize the system, when what such systems need most are stability and consistency. But education in particular sits at this wierd nexus of public policy where everybody thinks they're an expert, everybody has direct experience with the system, everybody thinks it can do more than it can, and it's a politically neutral subject. And for all our supposed expertise and concern, we invariably have the same ideas--more money, more accountability, etc. Given what we know empirically, the feverish focus seems very counter productive.
I admit that I don’t know the details of how citizenship was handled after the American revolution, but that was only about 30 years prior. My understanding is that the vast majority of American citizens were considered by the Crown to be British citizens.

It was definitely pitched to me that way in grade school, that until 1812 England basically considered the US to be a self-governing piece of the empire instead of an independent country.
"This bad" is a value judgment, and so the answer to the question necessarily depends on what your values are compared with the values employed in using the technology.

This applies to broadcast media as much as it does to social media. TV and Radio can be used to educate, or for thought-provoking news & commentary, or high art, or for pandering entertainment, advertising, or even propaganda.

I think social media was in a different place 10 years ago, essentially in its inception and somewhat less directed but essentially driven by the values of its early adopters and best ostensibly vision of its creators and boosters. I also see the values Obama was campaigning with as better than a lot of the values behind some social media now, but that's my own value judgment.

And as other interests came to understand it as medium that could amplify their message, and came into understanding of specific dynamics, and social media as an enterprise has therefore become legible to and influenceable by business and political interests, it's definitely suffered.
Not always. Managers sometimes like the people on their teams, and don't want to fire them. That's when someone else notices the team needs shaking up, or overhears conversations that are unsettling, etc. Also step-over meetings, too: that's when a manager's manager (or higher-up) will have a meeting with someone the manager is managing....good orgs have all these types of playbooks.
