No, you misread that. It's not the author breaking out into a rant. That illustrated the rhetoric used in the hydrogen pitch given by Bush post 9-11. The idea was to drum up hydrogen as a way to fight terrorism and radical islam which was being funded by oil. (edit: clarify)

That depends on the species. Some species tend to stay within a few hundred feet of their breeding grounds, while others can travel for miles (but even then many will still tend to stay very close by).
Back when the Motorola razer was the most popular mobile phone on the market, my sisters boyfriend had the sweetest tiny little flash drive sized dumb phone that I still think would be awesome to own every time I go on vacation and really want to leave reddit/Facebook/Snapchat and even hackernews at home without loosing the ability to call emergency services or fellow travelers when needs arise. Sadly that market is nowhere near attractive enough these days for anyone to care.
Absolutely. Azure? “We take care of technical debt as we go”? You don’t know your engineers retention off the top of your head, but half of the projects I’m supposed to interface with have lost their tech lead and you can’t replace any? I’ve asked a non-technical executive what is a rollback and they didn’t know?

It’s not me, darling, it’s you.

Yeah indeed, I've told my daughter that age 12 is the youngest we will consider getting her a phone, and even then it is contingent on convincing me she is responsible enough for it.

Well the reporting of the breaches is more strange than the fact they happened.

A platform like StockX should be a continual breach, because the information will let you make advantageous trades and time series against the customers.

Its pretty dumb to even announce a past tense on this as if it was a single event.
> Are programmers doing 60 hrs of work a week? Yes, if you count planning, talking about work to be done, thinking about work to be done, commuting (s/buying groceries, shuttling kids), mentoring, dealing with other people’s complaints & personal issues, dealing with red tape (forms to be signed, reports to review & give feedback on), etc, etc, etc

So, no then.
I've seen characters do this in anime, though it's usually presented as cluelessness.
Just a funny observation of mine:

When the lobbists have seen how effective this technology is at creating public opinion (brexit, USA elections) they immediately rushed to lobby laws against it, treating it as a weapon (GDPR).

They felt treatened for a second, making their wealth obsolete in comparison to few milions of $ spend on internet commercials.

Sword that they used to gain that wealth and position could be now very well used to abolish them.

First time I've seen world elite to be afraid.
I very nearly worked there in their engineering department, but once I got through the initial HR interview into the technical stuff, there were so many red flags that I got outta there as soon as I could.

A few higher level people who were all let go with me ended up going there, and having met up with them a few times, I've heard some absolute horror stories about everything ranging from dev workload, to security, to extremely unqualified devs being hired to fill seats.

I'm not surprised by this in the least, and frankly, I'm surprised it's not worse.

That is more one type of tax, being punitive taxes. Laws used in tax avoidance are generally designed to make things easier. The flaw isn't usually in the host country (the US is sort of an exception), but more a feature in the tax haven. A simplistic version would be that you say "we shouldn't pay tax here, but there" and then you don't pay much tax there either, because the tax haven is in on it. But you can argue that there are many parties also in the host country who are just as in on it. There are just plenty of people who support that powerful people shouldn't pay much tax, and sometimes they manage to convince everyone else.

But overall you can't really stop anyone doing almost anything. If people don't want large companies to pay taxes, or favor property values instead of building more housing, or reward working in finance instead of engineering so be it. Just don't come and complain a few decades later when everyone is greedy and things are falling apart. Because if moving money around is the way to make money successful companies are going to be just as good at that as anything else.

As an engineer I’ve resigned to making my resumes simple text files written in monospaced Menlo with manually wrapped columns at 80 characters. Very little adjectives are used, I stick straight to the facts.

People are stunned when they pick up my single page resume and see how simple and straight forward it is. In a time when so many people are making wacky embellishments and cover letters to stand out, here’s a page filled with dense information and a promise to not waste any time.
> realistically, a passenger-carrying aircraft would need large cylindrical tanks on the wings for safety reasons, but also with increased drag.

Precisely. Any weight savings of energy density per wt of hydrogen are offset by the poor energy/volume, plus the need for cylindrical tanks for stress reasons. Wing fuel tanks are roughly wing-shaped, meaning no increase to cross section. Hydrogen would require sets of cylinders, which add walls which add weight yet don't directly aid the engineering constraints, or exist outside the current flight envelope, adding drag.

Maybe some big advancement in construction methods could allow synergy of hydrogen tanks walls with aircraft structure, but you are still stuck with 1/3rd volumetric density of energy, meaning larger cross section, more drag, and more fuel usage.

The ones in Ukraine circa 2001 were the absolute best for that.

(Or, maybe being a teenager starting high school at the time makes my assessment biased).

Mivina. I was very excited to tell my US friends about The Very Ukrainian product they've all been missing out on (with a very Ukrainian brand name).

Until my grad school friend told me that it literally means Noodles From Vietnam in Vietnamese.

Turns out, Mivina was indeed created in Ukraine — and made its creator the richest person in Vietnam [1][2].

Deservedly so, I say.

Why can’t we complain about both the laws and the companies? I will complain when companies make low quality products, treat their staff badly or whatever. If our only requirement on companies is to follow the law I think we are setting the bar extremely low.
The well connected, paid, lobbyists, who need to register, are only the tip of the iceberg.

So called grass roots lobbying generally involves well funded groups organizing or convincing individuals to do the talking. Pretending that’s somehow different from paid lobbyists is missing how politics works.

Companies and Unions for example are often at odds on specific issues, but they both get sincere individuals to be doing some of the communication.
I used to work at a Dan Gilbert Quicken Family of Companies company, and I am not the least bit surprised by this, especially the abysmal choice to use MD5. Let’s just say, the engineering chops across the family of companies is... mediocre, at best.

Unless you presume that you know the salt your comment is utter nonsense.

The fact that the article says “believed to be” strongly suggests that things are not as simple as they’re “believed to be”, because if the passwords were easy to crack that’d be trivial to prove.
My take on this is "never attribute to stupidity what can be explained by greed".

It would be interesting to see if replication is really the glue that holds our greatest scientific achievements together. I suspect not. In my view a higher standard is progress towards powerful unifying theories, even if getting there is a messy business.

I'm thinking of something like relativity or quantum mechanics. Suppose a study in those fields fails replication. The whole thing still holds together, to the point where controversies at the part per billion level make it to the front page of the newspaper. Perhaps even most studies, taken in isolation, would be found to have problems when subjected to the strictest criteria for replication. Choosing replication as a silver bullet would be an unnecessary distraction.

Now, what about fields where there is no unifying theory on the horizon? If replication is all we've got, then sure. I can certainly see the point, especially if the results affect personal decisions (diet, medications, etc.) or public policy.

I suspect that "gold standards" can hurt science as much as help. Telling people that science is bunk because of the "replication crisis" contradicts the fact that messy science has produced results of astounding accuracy and predictive power. Learning from success should be at least as important as installing safeguards against failure.
"Other" is such a cliche "liberal arts" term.

How about "How the Japanese imagined Westerners in 19-Century prints"?
Ah, ever since I'm doing consulting prep (for a couple of weeks now), I have a new perspective on this. It's just a new perspective, that I happen to trade in in for my soul, not as a price, but as a side effect really, but whatever. I guess that had to happen if you want to know what game the executive suite is playing :D

The question is: why wouldn't they?

Big corporations exist for one reason which is brought about by a myriad of incentives from stakeholders (e.g. consumers, shareholders, employees and the state).

That reason is: to generate as much profit as possible. Some say it's about growth or revenue, IMO those are all indirect ways to potentially generate more profit.

That's it, that's why big corporations exist. They're quite mindless in that sense because this mostly comes about by the interaction of all the stakeholders.

So from Activision Blizzard its perspective, I applaud them. This is what they should be doing. There's less financial pressure on employees (aka layoff season is probably even further away now), shareholders see more signs of their favorite currency in their eyes, the regulator/state is simply picking a victim that isn't as savvy and the consumers can play new amazing Warcraft games for years to come! Oh, and the victim has trouble to organize itself, so that helps.

In short, they are doing well.

For the state and economics researchers I'd say: if you care about wealth distribution to the people, then figure out how to get their money.

I wonder, if the state wants tax money so badly and the state is represented by the public, then why doesn't the state compete or invest in companies? You can't tax Activision Blizzard, but you definitely can tax a state owned company (right? Or is there something I'm missing).
A better question would be: "Why would I use a generic title, if I dont agree with it in my own article?"

And the answer would be: " A click-bite title"..
I think they are asking a question about Python, not about mocks.

I was also very surprised Python does it this way. Normally I would expect "import" statements in a language to just rearrange the namespace and have no other effects at all. The author explains that it doesn't work that way:

> “from mod import val” means, import mod, and then do the assignment “val = mod.val”.

In other words, I would expect an import to alter a symbol table. I would not expect it to create a new variable and then perform an assignment.
>because the Japanese at the time (perhaps still today) thought Europeans had big noses.

Well, compared to Japanese faces, they certainly do.
I’ve recently learned that some actually do consider mocking harmful.

Where I work right now, there’s a really outdated and unfashionable fight over the benefit of unit testing in general. Existing engineers don’t see value in test driven development, exhaustive testing, unit testing, and mocks/spies are thrown in... and we’re a python shop. I’m utterly confused. I, too, grew concerned after reading–will I be hearing this cited/twisted as further evidence against investing in our dreadful testing situation?
Substance disorder, as practically all studies show, has very little to do with the actually drug being misused. Causes for substance abuse is often cited in research as genetic markers, environmental factors like childhood trauma and a lack of peer and family support, mental health, and stress with low access to stress management.

With crime it should be no surprise that public intoxication and violation of city ordinances is more common for homeless people. If we account for social economical status then theft, burglary, and shoplifting make also sense. If more men than women are homeless than those numbers will correlate accordingly, but say nothing about why people become homeless.

The initial claim is that men were more "violent or aggressive". If you want to make a claim that men are charged more often than women for murder or being in a violent gang then go ahead, but when it comes to initiating aggression or violence both women and men are fundamentally equal. The idea that men are inherently aggressive and violent while women inherently meek and passive is nothing but gender stereotyping, and that may be a reason for difference in homelessness.

God, as an Australian it irritates me so much to continually see Australia screw itself over for short-term gain, rather than long term vision, time and time again.

So, yes.

Unless you are very junior, you

2) are paid for the time spent doing them

3) will not keep your job long if you simply neglect them or refuse to do them

I'm honestly baffled by these responses.
It is probably nonsense if the whole point of "establishing an online presence" is to be marketable.

It is not nonsense if you are genuinely interested in participating in those online activities (or happen to enjoy contributing to some open-source projects).

And if you do participate, you will leave an online trail that will help your potential interviewer to get to know you better (what technologies you actually know and how deeply; what your coding style is; how good you are at writing code in general; that sort of thing).

Of course, much of that can be established during an interview. But every additional data point helps to better assess the candidate.

So the point is, it’s not that they should, but it helps if they do.

The important crux of the problem is that the current model for all “like”/“social” buttons is that simply including the link grossly violates your user’s privacy.

Why should I have to surrender my privacy to read an article on your site? Why do you think that it’s ok?

The only time a your site should be sending tracking information to someone your user’s have not explicitly stated they want you specifically to share is when they have actually interact with the bottom. Not a mouse over, not a resource load, not an invisible overlay.

The use has to consciously opt to do that.

If you can’t ensure that your site isn’t abusing users/readers you need to gate all your pages with a page stating that you will be providing other companies with tracking information that provides your browsing history. You should also list all of the companies you will be sending that data to.

If you don’t want to do that because it will hurt “engagement” or “conversion” that’s your problem.

Alternatively you could have a banner that says “you’ve used our site so we sent information about your browsing history to these companies, and there is no support for deleting that information. We recognize that you may not like that but we don’t care about your privacy, and have no intention to preserve it”

I'm self taught and have been doing this for 20 years. Most of that in a sort of survival serial startup mode that eventually stabilized into me having a clue around the time I turned 30.

I got hired a few years ago for a senior dev/architect/ops + engineering manager position at a ~5 person startup despite the fact that I was "a bad culture fit" because most of the staff was phds or masters level educated. At the time I found it really offensive that they'd even say that. The CEO said in the same breath "I think hiring you is the closest thing I'll get to cloning myself." Talk about mixed signals!

As it turns out, that assessment was solidly right. They were entrenched in policies and behavior that basically guaranteed a tragic failure. And because of those policies the rescue from mistakes always fell on my doorstep well past when it would be trivial to solve the problem. This created a horrifically unpredictable work environment.

All and all, it was a growth experience and I probably gave the company a year of life it wouldn't have had otherwise. I would never take another job where that was said to me though.

Presumably to thwart SEO spammers or something. But is this seriously an issue? If someone is looking at someone’s user page presumably they are already of some interest and you’ll probably also want to follow any links there. So why do we need to copy-paste these URLs to visit them, instead of just clicking?
I'm not sure what your objection is. People try to use mocks, and they don't work because they've mocked the wrong name. I explain this in the article. The article is about why their mock didn't work. How is this a misleading title? How is this a title I don't agree with?

Are we talking about the same piece and the same title? You seem to be under the impression that I am trying to tell people not to use mocks. Have you read the piece?
