I never had the chance to meet elephants.

Now, from what I've learned/read about their behaviours, I have no doubt on the depth of their lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_cognition#Elephant_so...

And I wouldn't call that "some sort of language". That's language. Species-specific. Not "human" language.

Even language that another species can grasp more or less perfectly. You can get that with minimal observation of dogs, cats, even birds. And obviously, animals read us as well.

Now, the complexity of an other species language may be partially out of reach because we do not have the same senses, abilities, history, memories.

So they might even engage in activities we cannot grasp or identify (and reciprocally) but for great patience, observation, study, understanding, and luck.
The inevitable consequence is absolute despotism. Without privacy, there can be no freedom.

I don't think that is a worthwhile price to pay in order to preserve an obsolete system of government funding. Especially since it won't work anyhow.

>So yes, they didn't seem to be stigmatized.

Or the grandparent (1/2) and parent (1/4) just happened to be female (which is likely, see also: Haldane's rule) in which case they probably had little problem getting laid (side effects include pregnancy which if not treated can lead to children) no matter how stigmatized they were assuming modern humans behavior is any indication.

Having a kid is no guarantee they (and presumably their kid) weren't the lowest status person in the tribe (i.e. stigmatized) on account of who their parents were. That said, it's entirely possible the people in question were too concerned with month to month and year to year survival to care about that kind of thing.
The original FedEx, now called FedEx Express is a fine service. This sounds like FedEx Ground/Home Delivery which was originally Roadway Package Systems and acquired by FedEx in the nineties. I’ve had more trouble (as a recipient) with that service than any other shipper. Last mile delivery is contractors. It really tarnishes the FedEx brand.

UPS and USPS have yet to lose or significantly delay one of my packages.

UPS can tell me what home delivery truck my package is on and where it is on the road. With FedEx Ground, I count myself lucky if they even know what zip code my package is in.

These “evolution of money”-type stories always miss the financial instrument that enabled the gold standard to function in the first place: the Bill of Exchange.

A Hungarian math professor by the name of Antal Fekete offers a much more convincing explanation of the journey from gold to paper money: http://professorfekete.com/articles/AEFMonEcon101Lecture5.pd...

In essence, the Bill of Exchange was required for gold to work as money by it acting as a means of payment between producers. If one producer in the line of production of steel, say the producer who digs up iron ore, requires payment in gold when delivering iron ore to the steel producer, the gold standard does not scale as the division of labor increases, as more gold would be required (for payment of semi-finished goods) for each additional step added. The Bill of Exchange solves this by acting as a means of payment between producers of increasingly finished consumer goods.

It hasn't happened to me yet. Must not be matter!
That's going to be one of the main issues for these types of phones. The applications people really do need vary enormously. I basically just need two applications, both for work, Google Authenticator (or similar) and a specialised app from our telco that manage our on-call number. The rest I can do without.

Perhaps it's worth remembering that these "smart feature phones" aren't meant for people who just doesn't want a smart phone. They are meant for people who can't afford a real smart phone, so the feature set will creep towards being a full featured smart phone.

For those of us who genuinely do not want smartphone, there's currently not much on offer, unless we truly do not need a single smart phone feature.

I have a small set of features I'd like to see in a phone:

* Hotspot support, so both WiFi and 4G

* A TOTP application

* BlueTooth, for wireless headset and writing SMSs and managing the contacts from an application on my computer

Other than that the screen can be a black and white LCD for all I care.
Employees who can answer a phone call are cheap and a dime a dozen. Employees who can type and appropriately communicate their intentions in written form, not so much.

Also, unless the phone calls are recorded by one party, telephone calls don't leave a paper trail for later accusations to be verified/denied, etc..
You have to host with them to use it.
...honestly, I don't see much complexity here. Understanding of reference types and the difference between deep copy and shallow copy makes it pretty straightforward - the result is the same as it would be in python or java.
As mentioned by other comments, we will likely end up in an arms race of adversarial neural networks. Which will be opposed by neural nets driven by manual classification of spam/not spam entries. However, I think the spammers have a decisive advantage. What you are dealing with here is an asymmetric situation: while sites must spend money on people to do classification, the spammers have an oracle against which their neural nets can verify responses. This means improving their bots to fight new anti-spam tech is easier. I can't say what the solution is here.
Not sure why this is down-voted. It's spot on albeit devoid of the usual literary bubble wrap used when discussing this kind of thing in polite company.

That there exist other similar species that we don't (yet) have a fossil record of is the interesting part here.

All these sliders can be automated with the UI.Vision browser extension and its visual XMove command: https://ui.vision/docs/xclick#xmove

The target audience are web testers. The advantage of this approach is that it requires no Javascript knowledge, as you automate the task visually. It is similar to the well-known Sikuli tool, but works inside the browser.

The "drawback" of this image-recognition driven approach is that it is much too slow for spamming... which is actually another advantage from my point of view.

It's a central integration point for many workflows these days: code review, CI/CD, issue tracking, code quality metrics etc.

Hi everyone,

We wanted to see if we could create an email tracking blocker that appeals to "normal" non-technical people. Creep Alert is based on Trocker, the open-source project. The main thing that's new in our version is that we have added a "NOT OK"-button. This button opens up the reply field with a prewritten, polite message asking them to disable the tracking in future emails.

I'm all ears if you have any feedback or other ideas for things we should add :)
Exactly. To avoid contact form spam I added a simple "Fill in this number (123):" to on of our forms. The number is even hardcoded! But that was enough to reduce contact form spam from ~10-20 a day to zero.
A little more info from the KaiOS website (https://developer.kaiostech.com):

> KaiOS is a web-based mobile operating system that enables a new category of smart feature phones. It is forked from B2G (Boot to Gecko), a successor of the discontinued Firefox OS.
KaiOS brings support of 4G/LTE, GPS, and Wi-Fi, as well as HTML5-based apps and longer battery life, to non-touch devices. It has an optimized user interface for smart feature phones, needs little memory, and consumes less energy than other operating systems. It also comes with the KaiStore, which enables users to download applications in categories like social media, games, navigation, and streaming entertainment.

Look everyone! We found a product manager for the Boeing 737 Max!

How was your tenure at Equifax?

Seriously, though... A workplace with this mentality has a high-turnover rate from burnout. Things keeps breaking, things are perpetually behind schedule, and a toxic work culture usually clouds the office. This perspective drives companies into the ground and pushes engineering teams towards mental breakdown. This is not a sustainable model.

However, there is a reckoning happening (right now) for all of these shitty businesses in the form of security breaches. Your lie "Quality is important" will bitch-slap you in the face when there are serious economic penalties for bad quality. GDPR is that reckoning and the US will soon follow.

And you need to change 3 lines in total (also you need to make changes mid-lines, too) in order to simply view the data in between, vs only 1 line.

And by the way - if you paid attention in the first place my post actually has exactly what you've just written.
So what's the point of having let, then?
Yes there is a huge shortage for good coders. But just completing a coding bootcamp alone does not qualify you as a coder.

Furthermore many graduates from coding bootcamps are not really good coders - they are just there for the money. Once you are able to demonstrate that you are a level or two above the bootcamp-graduate group, then yes it is a very "hot job market".

So while it may be the case that bootcamp grads have to send out 300 application, for developers with 3+ years of experience it is an entirely different horizon. Many job postings that ask for 3+ years experience get less than 10 job applications on job sites. There are very few other industries where having just 3 years experience puts you on such a high level.

EDIT: The way break into coding as a career, is not only to do a bootcamp but demonstrate you are capable of coding without having your hand held. A couple options are: contribute meaningful code to open source projects, do low-wage freelance projects on sites like upwork.com - you might not make much money but you'll have demonstrated you're capable of doing real-world commercial development. Once you get your first job, stay there for about 2 years, after 2 years try applying to other jobs, it will be WAY easier this time round and if you get offers you can either move to a better pay/company or demand your current company matches that rate.

EDIT2: Pick a stack and stick with it. It might be stupid but many employers ask "how many years experience with framework X" do you have? If you change tech stack a lot in your career it will be harder to be reach a "senior" level.
Money is not solving our problems any more. Adam smith argues that the optimal decision making structure consists of the entities executing the transaction. They have ‘perfect’ information on value and utility for themselves. This was clearly shown by the ‘failure’ of communism and central administration in an attempt to add ‘fairness’ across all members of the economic community who are not involved in the transaction. Today we are exploring the illusion of fairness with taxation and entitlements on an increasingly granular level with the help of deep learning, large databases and subscriptions. Still no one has addressed the elephant in the room - economic inertia. Even with perfect information and frictionless transactions there is a strong disincentive to ‘improved’ products and services. The profit centers are intent on maintaining the transaction patterns even tho they are destroying the infrastructure that they require - examples include the irreversible change of the climate through Using the short term decisions without modeling long term consequences as well as the homogenization and ‘dumbing down’of our civilization through lowest common denominator strategies.

Even with perfect information and perfect short term utility, we are not mentally equipped to sense, evaluate and act on long term effects of our choices. Although this shortcoming has little impact in the ‘linear’ regime where we are a trivial component of the ecology, at current size and growth rate, humanity significantly destabilizes capitalism’s ability to succeed.
Simply false. In every case of my personal knowledge, and there are very many, it has been to protect the right to privacy, and no taxes have been evaded. I find use of cash in all amounts to be increasing as surveillance increases.
If you use let it means you intend to use that binding "later", up to the end of the scope, and within that scope the value shall not change: that's the Whole point.

That a corporation worth multiple billions of dollars can't keep our information secure despite one individual.

That is the message here.

IMHO, the "punishment" trajectory should aim toward Capital One. After all they are the ones who ultimately fucked up.

Frankly; Oh dear my ex-employee, or someone "trusted" who was pissed off because I/We didn't think I/We did anything to piss them off is not an admissible excuse.

Why anyone should weep for a multi-billion dollar company while crowing "throw the bitch in jail" for exposing their lacking security practices is beyond me.

Who is the criminal. A large mega-corp who could not keep their shit straight or an individual who proved their security perfectly invalid, and then told us!

FWIW, learning about this stuff completely burst all my preconceptions.

Even as a geek utterly opposed to most all use of computers for tabulation, I came to believe the biggest threat to election integrity is change. We just have to stop shaking the ant farm every few years. Whatever changes are warranted, they need to be slow, deliberate, methodical.
