Nobody gets to bring their "whole self" to work. Not unless “theirself” never steps outside social protocol for an office. It's a con. They want your mental investment, but what extra leeway do they give you to be yourself beyond what you already had?

Being yourself especially doesn’t exist in tech. Everything is so non-conformist conformist. I can't even have a conversation as myself at work. My roommates work in the trades, how I talk to them at home would get me fired so fucking fast if I tried it at work.
Wouldn't the parents die first?

If you define "right" as "you have the ability to do X and face legal consequences for having done it," then I an absolutely in favor of the right of free speech of the Pizzagate folks to get themselves arrested. So, great, we all believe in free speech for everyone.

What word would you like to use for "the ability to do X without legal consequence from the government"? Because that seems like a more interesting discussion.

Enhancing Magento Front-End Performance with ReactJS
Apple has never been very good about productivity IMO.

They have a lot of things they are good about, but productivity usually gets sacrificed at the altar of simplicity, or a prettier look.

If you look at how the Mac productivity apps have changed, every one of them has moved from being productivity focused to being more about the design and looks. The obvious examples are Mail and Calendar (although Mail has been decent about bringing back some of the features it lost). Contacts/Address Book has always been a terrible app, and the iWork suite of apps also took a disastrous turn towards simplicity where they ended up losing a lot of functionality.

What used to be really great about the Mac OS ecosystem was the plethora of productivity focused app makers, who also had a great sense of design. When it came to productivity on the Mac (or any platform, for that matter), the real strides came from 3rd party Mac developers.
Setting up reverse proxies with Nginx
> When people complained that putting microphones in your home 24/7 was creepy, the response was "that's nonsense, Siri is not sending anything unless you specifically ask for it".

This seems like a distorted representation, to support your argument, of what most the complaints and responses were. The gulf between 24/7 recording and "occasionally unintentional sending" is absolutely massive and you just merge them into "see, we were right".

The complaints were (and still are) conspiracy theories that they were streaming constant recordings and constantly listening; which they aren't; almost nobody is pretending this would be okay.

I've also not seen anyone who knows what they are talking about seriously claiming that /no person/ would ever listen to the audio samples - only that there isn't somebody _listening_ to your samples e.g. in a targeted, continual sense.

In fact the only part that does sound slightly worrying is that the evaluators get location information along with audio; this would probably be enough to reverse any ID anonymisation, and if the metadata is kept - requests by law enforcement, though I would hope the contractors couldn't control/request specific samples coming into them. In any case, Alexa is potentially worse than this because I can see a history and playback old recordings on my account, which means they are kept fully associated. Apple might do this with Siri internally, I don't know.
Your happy ending is subjective as mine in the end. I know if this happened to me, I would be dead because I have my AMD on file and everything can move on. Btw, what you wrote shouldn’t be against assistance in death but personally for your own situation.
Not all liquidity is the same. I've seen calculations that stated that HFT doesn't actually add valuable liquidity to markets because the moments you need that extra liquidity are price uncertainty moments where HFT traders disappear. I don't have the reference on hand though.
"What we have now is the bad kind of capitalism! There's a different, good kind of capitalism which in theory does all these great things!" is essentially the "communism works great in theory" argument.

100%, both systems are great theories. However, the last few hundred years of actually trying to implement capitalism has "most people have access to abundant food, cellphone in every pocket, access to a wealth of information, access to transportation, incredible medical advances.", if by "most people" you mean "possible a majority of people in the richest countries in the world". Unfortunately, the cost of that is that we've done irreparable damage to our environment, are causing the worst Great Extinction ever, and have caused a climate crisis that may cause us to go extinct.
I wish you much strength. The kinds of decisions you are facing (have faced) are the hardest you can imagine and can only be understood if you have been in the situation yourself. I believe that nobody has the right to judge them. Last October, I lost my then 61 year old wife to Early-Onset Alzheimers disease. I saw her slowly fade-away and losing all her abilities, returning to a baby-like state. People often asked me, if she still recognized me. I often explained that that was a meaningless question. For me, it was far more important, whether I still recognized her. And I did. Luckily for her and us, her death came rather swift. She died within one and half week after developing a high fever (possibly due to dehydration) spending the last five days under palliative sedation.
It bugs me to no end that green party is by majority opposed to nuclear power while it is, in my opinion, one of the best clean energy sources that works everywhere, without being subject to alternating weather or natural resources.

The process of storing nuclear waste is almost trivial and from what i've gathered from the current progress of nuclear reactors, one day most if not all of that waste could be used as fuel, leaving almost nothing left. Yet the same fear-mongering tactics as those used by populists are utilized to change public opinion to hinder its use. The modern nuclear plant is extremely safe and if built in stable geographical area (without earthquakes or tsunamis), it's fail-safe. The only reason something like tsernobyl happened was the massive managerial misjudgements and obsolete technology that would not happen in any properly run modern nuclear plant.

It's just... dumb. Instead of thinking rationally people are driven by irrational fear while there exists so many worse things, that might cause your early demise yet people do nothing about them. The probability of getting hit by car must be exponentially higher than dying by nuclear disaster yet i dont see people advocating traffic safety with same fervor.
Christian was wrong about this. Instead he should have had put his own copyrighted pictures on this domain and then scared them by saying that their site is illegally serving copyrighted material maybe he would would be met by different response. Exaggeration is the only way when you deal with technology ignorant individuals.
Dude, my sympathies. Really sorry to hear what you both are going through
That's true during the hotter months, but that's a benefit of why renewable energy comes from different sources. When it's not very sunny, it may be windy, the tide might be changing, the rivers are still flowing, the ground is still warm.

The same applies to nuclear, or when there's a shortage of oil or coal. You can't run one generator at full output, so you can increase the output of another.
No one's confused why it's happening. It's legal to make money through financial services, and it reliably makes money. The investments into fintech that divert more cash one way or another until others catch up also provide very little and ever diminishing value, mostly just sideways and upward redistribution of wealth. The actual value generating sectors of the economy are always getting more anemic, and they're due for collapse because of how much everything depends on oil, cheap 3rd world labor, and creating external costs we've avoided facing.
Not really worried about how 'mature' the thing that runs the scripts before I commit is, either it works or it makes a mess of my working tree.

I do care about how opinionated and collaborative the dev behinde the tool is.

>If you define "right" as "you have the ability to do X and face legal consequences for having done it,"

This is a completely useless definition, as it means literally everyone has a right to everything. E.g. I have a "right" to murder you and then face the legal consequences for doing so.

I very seriously doubt you'd lose any of those benefits by just trading on 10 second or even 1 minute increments. Everyone has a bunch of time to submit orders, the auction is ran, and then everyone gets the result back. I'd really like to see a use case in any of those real-world markets for pricing with sub-second granularity. It seems much more likely that trading on sub-second granularity is just extracting money from the actual participants in those markets into the pockets of financial firms with no value returned.
There used to be discussion forums by post too.

I've also seen this, but in addition—and also contrary to what the article says about curving being polite—from anecdotal examples in a lot of dogs, I'd equate curving with recognition/familiarity.

If I meet a dog I know well on the street after a long absence, the dog will beeline (not immediately recognising me, but just liking to engage with humans in general), and then after being stopped in their tracks upon recognising me, immediately begin curving.

Yes, the real aim and motivation of traders is to earn money and respect. What else should it be?

Why pick on traders? I know a lot of developers making well into six figures. I hear them talking about getting 3 new graphics cards for their gaming rigs instead of how they worked at a soup kitchen.

What is your point? That GS should be donating 100m to charity instead of reinvesting into their business?

Where do you think that money goes? Workers will be paid to implement their plan and taxes will be paid on those wages. In fact about 40% of that 100m will eventually end up being paid in taxes.

Yup. And since they can't legally do much to infringe on my privacy without asking for my explicit, informed consent, I can safely ignore most TOS updates, safe in the knowledge that if they hide some privacy-abusing bits in the TOS, then they have a problem.
I had to take a general ethics course at my university. It was a feel-good circlejerk. Complete waste of time.

HNers firing off "we need ethics courses!" just reminds me of the same naive, empty decision making that my uni faculty must've gone through before deciding to force students through a course that was obviously really just there to put a feather in the uni's cap. "See? We do ethics training! See how we're making the world better? See us doing this, everyone?"

Things aren't black and white ethically either. I bet there are people here who seriously think Facebook wouldn't even exist if only Zuck had to take an ethics course.

Circlejerking seems to be the real thrust of it because, without a doubt, someone always brings up Canada's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_of_the_Calling_of_an_En... as if it's some self-evidently amazing thing when all I see is more circlejerking: a private club with special purity rings. Yeah, that'll stop the bad people.

The Bizarre, Peaty Science of Arctic Wildfires
You guys are doing a great service to humanity, I work in anti-trafficking as well.

I have applied with you guys again, we will see how it goes this time.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up; if you guys are not already looking into it. Predators and traffickers are starting to encode exploitation material into blockchain technologies, thus being able to profit based on crypto payment for access to smart contract encoded material. It's getting to be a huge problem and the technology to find it is rudimentary at best.

I want to chase this, but I work via military funds for trafficking in general so our scope is broader than just child trafficking. That is why I applied with you guys, you are more focused on what I would like to apply my efforts to. I believe in your mission and I personally wanted to thank you.
This is my point exactly. My moto x4 is no slouch and does almost everything I want. Cost me $150.

Will easily last me 3-4 years.

50/year to own.

iPhone 8 assuming it lasts 4 years without battery/breakage means I could buy new moto x4 every year I own that 8. I get that its supported longer but these devices are heavily used and abused.

> There is also a complicated motte-and-bailey distinction between high-level waste (spent fuel itself, etc.) and low-level. High-level waste can often be reprocessed and is comparatively small volume. The low-level waste is everything that's deemed too dangerous to landfill, and there's a lot more of it. From used rubber gloves to the entire volume of decomissioned reactors.

There is already a huge amount of material underground that is too dangerous for landfill. Too dangerous for landfill is a very low standard.

I don't remember the exact volume, but I've been involved with an operation that probably excavated then entombed a volume of material that was of comparable volume to the nuclear industry's low-level waste. That material was not safe enough to go into landfill, we had to take special precautions with it.

Humanity already deals with 10s if not 100s of millions of cubic meters of material that is not safe for landfill. Annually. So far so good.
IKAROS used this technique. The bird was spin-stabilised and a section of the sail had LCD shades that could be dark or light. It could darken its, say, venus-side segments as they went round.

I assume this is because they’re published as plain text files. The HTML is styled to look the same as the plain text versions, including diagrams made assuming a fixed-width font.

https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc793.txt

Plain ASCII text is a very compatible format, and probably will be for a very long time. For example, if you were to pipe this to a TCP socket on modern printer on port 9100 unchanged, it’ll likely print out roughly correct.
> CliqZ and Pocket

Cliqz made their own browser based on Firefox, and a Firefox extension. Pocket started as a Firefox extension and even when it got integrated into Firefox it was technically still an extension. If anything these cases seem to indicate that the core is lightweight and extensible. What's your point?
Is there some back-story here that I'm not aware of? Otherwise this just comes off as borderline homophobic.
It's less obvious though, you need to know what's happening and why. Likely not a problem for somebody writing a lot of JS, but I rarely see similar constructs in PHP code.

What is the worst advice for the newbie?
I interviewed at three companies over the course of a few weeks once, not one asked me about anything on my GitHub profile nor about my blog (200+ technical articles). I was a bit miffed. At the last one I asked to see the CV they’d been given; the recruiter had removed those links from my CV. (This was in Austria.) So had I worked on open-source or blogged solely to get a job, it would have been a complete waste of time.
I try to keep them about 3-4 years, I'll do a battery replacement myself if needed as thats usually the first thing to really cause problems. Battery is maybe $30 and an hour of my time. This last phone I got was a moto x4 for $150, so if it lasts me 4 years with a battery swap, TCO ~$180 for 4 years, or 60/yr. To get that out of an iphone I'd have to have it for 10 years or more.

For comparison, the Giant Mine has 213,000 tons of water-soluble arsenic dust unceremoniously dumped at the bottom of a mine shaft, which is enough to kill all human life ten times over. Oh, and it's also off the coast of Yellowknife Bay. If that disaster in the making can be handled by just a billion dollars of remediation than we can also handle a small warehouse's worth of deadly bricks.

Hell, we could probably just toss them in with the arsenic. It's not like it will make things worse.
We're basically getting a huge Algol mono-language.

C is not really moving, but C++ is also converging towards this Java++ language.

Java itself is finally moving.

C# is a bit ahead of the curve, because it can follow the trail blazed by F#.

PHP started moving towards Java back from when PHP5 was introduced.

Javascript is moving towards Typescript which is following C#'s lead.

Python is kind of the only non-Algol mainstream hold out.

Did I miss any of the big enterprise languages? :-?
I would clearly choose to have doctors believe that I could feel no pain... That way there is no trade off.
It somewhat ends up in a best of both world scenario though. Java 15 years ago (in my opinion) was so strict and rigid and abstract interface jokes were writing themselves in real life. PHP was in a fairly dark (though very lively) place as well.

Here we get a pretty good deal, I guess time matters.

The world would certainly be a worse place without escape rooms existing too :|

Many people seem unwilling to admit what they do is bullshit. Not judging that at all, virtually most jobs are bullshit, I've done far more useless things for big companies earning good money too. Yeah it offers entertainment value but were it to disappear humanity would not suffer for it.

I'm honestly amazed at the number of people who truly believe what they do offers value, long lasting, real value to society. Have quite a few friends in advertising/marketing and they've drunk the kool-aid thinking that because they bring in X amount for bigcorp their existence is justified and if they didn't someone else would. Without this delusion it's likely not an easy thing to live with.
They say multiple times that this decrease was unexpected but it seemed to be pretty well telegraphed based on my read of the situation.

Is this article for customers that don’t know what interest rates are so they are not upset about a lower rate?
All that'd happen if you did that would be to increase the risk of any market maker having the wrong price at execution time (they have less data to make an informed price discovery), so you'd get wider spreads to compensate.

Wider spreads just makes it more expensive for everyone. Personally, I'd like my pension money going towards the actual investment rather than paying for a wider spread, but I'm just strange.
