Would you want to live in a world without Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is the real question. The journalist seems like he would. I wouldn't.
When light hits the metal, it imparts some momentum. Is it possible (and this is a stupendously naive mental picture and not what would actually be happening, I realize that) that the metal moves in one direction, kicking free electrons back the other direction? Like if you had a sheet of drywall covered in dust hanging from a rope and you threw a baseball at it. The drywall would move in the direction of the balls flight, but the dust would get kicked off back in the direction the ball came from. Is the amount of current created consistent with this sort of picture, electrons being kicked off as the metal absorbs the momentum and accelerates away?
I also get the impression that US shows were commissioned in longer runs— a typical season was 22 shows a year, delivered weekly, so it was impractical to plot out everything in advance. On any given day, the actors might be doing scenes for several different episodes based on location availability while contract writers were pitching unwritten episode ideas for later in that same season.
There are outliers, usually composed of individuals who are also outliers in terms of ability.
A tiny additional detail - sensor alternates not because of some arbitrary adhoc rule but because aircraft always uses sensor on main pilot’s side and main pilot’s seat alternates each flight.

Still boggles my mind how utterly incompetent and borderline malicious everybody involved in designing and implementing this system are. I wish we’d see some people jailed and Boeing hit with billions of dollars fines but chances are slim.
Robert Wilson
Hello everyone, my name is Robert Wilson from the states of Idaho I live in Colorado with my family. I’m a Truck driver and am always busy on the road. I want to appreciate SUDO HACKMAN for his monumental help recently on my poor credit I got to tell you this, my score was 524 I wanted to buy a house but I knew I was not up to the task of someone who deserves to have one. So I made a personal research along and came across a review on reedit about SUDO HACKMAN on how he fixed a Man's credit and increased his score in few days so I contacted him. Immediately he disputed my old accounts and increased my score to 820 within 2weeks i was so surprised, now I’m able to buy a house. I promised about telling people what he did for me... He is a very good and understanding hacker you can easily reach him on: SUDOHACKMAN@GMAIL.COM +1 (334)422-8741

This line of thinking can be expanded beyond copyright.

Exclusive access to capital assets are almost by definition rent-seeking. While there is absolutely arguments to be had for the efficiency and effectiveness of such arrangement I think we could do better in capturing the extra rent from those we grant exclusivity.

To that end all monopoly grants, such as copyright, but others too, should be tied to a cost. F.ex. one could perhaps find a proxy for the rent value of a particular grant by means of annual auctions. Such a scheme wouldn’t capture the cost of losing a resource as a commons though.

See Henry George and geo-libertarianism for more thinking in this direction. But I think there’s some need for innovation to address “commons based peer-production” as Yochai Benkler terms it in The Wealth of Networks).

I use Emacs and have been wanting to try spacemacs or evil because I suspect that modal editing is more efficient. Moreover my fingers hurt a lot and Emacs definately isn’t helping.

The only thing preventing me from switching to evil (I would never switch to vim because it honestly just seems strictly inferior) is that I use Dvorak on a Kinesis keyboard. I’m not sure how well vim keybindings work on Dvorak, but I suspect not very well (atleast the hjkl part). Does anyone have experience with Dvorak and vim/evil? Is it acceptable?
I completely agree and try to limit my usage of it. I am using it here to emphasise that it is only a different syntax for Python and nothing more. That is not to say that it is not valuable or interesting.

Visual Bayes: Is your partner faithful?
According to https://history.aip.org/climate/simple.htm, a region of dark terrain or water getting warmer was first suggested in 1875 by James Croll. The linked paper (PDF at http://eisenman.ucsd.edu/papers/Pistone-Eisenman-Ramanathan-... ) is trying to quantitatively "estimate the additional solar heating that would occur under the complete disappearance of Arctic sea ice", in their own words, and compare this figure to a certain amount of carbon emissions.

Their results are pretty worrying. Quoting again: "This heating of 0.71 W/m2 is approximately equivalent to the direct radiative effect of emitting one trillion tons of CO2into the atmosphere (see calculation in Appendix A). As of 2016, an estimated 2.4 trillion tons of CO2 have been emitted since the preindustrial period due to both fossil fuel combustion (1.54 trillion tons) and land use changes (0.82 trillion tons), with an additional 40 billion tons of CO2 per year emitted from these sources during 2007–2016 (Le Quéré et al., 2018). Thus, the additional warming due to the complete loss of Arctic sea ice would be equivalent to 25 years of global CO2 emissions at the current rate. This implies that if the Arctic sea ice were to disappear much more rapidly than in current climate model projections, it would drastically shorten the time available to adapt to climate changes and the time for achieving carbon neutrality."
The list is decent, and I really like the "buy me a coffee" icon actually. I think that's a fun concept.
How long do you want to stay for?

I'm by no means an expert, but when I looked at this recently (same scenario - remote worker for a US company), I found the only real option was to apply for a Residence / Long Stay Visa.

I was only looking to stay for ~1 year in theory.
These are only the stations built by H2 Mobility, which is a joint venture of Daimler, Linde, Air Liquide, OMV, Shell and Total.

I don't mind coding skill tests, I'm generally pretty clear about what I've cut corners on because I can't be arsed spending too much time on them and it's usually accepted (I don't think I've gotten an outright no following a coding test in my most recent wave of applications). That being said, I do point out that my github has other stuff they can look at.

What I DO dislike is ones which have failed to explain themselves clearly which will result in someone who probably wasn't a good fit for the role wasting far too much time on trying to get something to work that wasn't set up clearly enough in the spec. For this reason I think trick questions and crap like that are the absolute devil.

To me it seems like a big chunk of the reason for the tests is so there's something to ask in the interviews though. The technical parts of almost every interview I done in the last few weeks centered around the tests (in one case I had done them in such a rush I couldn't actually remember my code). I think a lot of interviewers begrudgingly support keeping the tests in their company so they don't have to become better interviewers.
Surely you must have an idea why the 5-eyes nations have applied their armed forces as a coalition, towards the destruction of the Middle East and parts of Asia?

I mean, you know that Iraq was demolished. Afghanistan too. Libya, Syria .. and now Yemen.

Why do you think the 5-eyes forces are there instead of defending their homelands? Its not xenophobia?

Cars getting safer is cars getting better at what they are designed for, I think it’s a rather poor comparison and the chart of them getting safer over time makes it seem silly in contrast with guns.

It’s also silly to say “guns keep you safe but from a birds eye view more people die” because it has to be viewed on a case by case basis, if someone was able to defend themselves or their family that was good, it shouldn’t be viewed as if it was at the cost of other people who were killed by guns unjustly.

"It's the economy, stupid", said a former US President.

It's the economic attributes of a language that contribute to its market share. Go is a very good language from an economic point of view. (Java was also a remarkably good language, from an economic point of view.)

As to the your specific point, I suggest a sufficiently large slice of software workers will include the sub-set that write long articles defending their theoretically so-so but economically superior languages: Those blog posts are a feature, not a bug, of economically viable programming languages.

The bottom line is no one has proven that "the bottom line" is positively affected by use of sophisticated languages. The killer app of ho-hum languages is their demonstrated economic value.
If you have enough money you can actually own and operate fully automatic weapons, cannons, flame throwers, artillery, etc.

... and if you're the leader of a large enough nation, the US will even sell you planes and tanks.

In our shortsightedness we are dismissing the future possibility of foreign invasions, domestic tyranny, and civil war. Let's consider the former; if the US has registration laws and China invades/wins, then all of a sudden Chinese officials have the addresses of every potential source of violent dissent in their hands. I realize the threat of invasion isn't really practical today, but with policies we put in place today we'd effectively be putting our ancestors in the worst possible situation in the event they ever had to defend themselves against tyranny whether foreign or domestic.

I understand that gun violence sucks, but regulation/registration has consequence - we may see benefit, some of it we may never see but our children will (for a rather recent example, see Venezuela). Our communities are living with these monsters, we are ignoring them because our lives have become so centered around live news, social media, and debating over the internet instead of talking to each other.

Banning guns, knives, bats, fertilizer, whatever isn't going to stop this epidemic - and doing so will just prevent ourselves from being able to prevent those who are determined to do so.
You frame it as psychological intervention to stop killers.

But media and audience live in symbiotic relationship with killers. Everyone gets value from the killings.

How do you break the profitable and addictive value chain?
This is so wrong since it implies that a decision is binary, thus taking the opposite decision of a "wrong decision" is well defined and automatically right.

Which is hilariously different to reality.
If there were no media headlines, then the amount of murders would fall if headlines were the causal effect. You're undoing your own point.

One of the things that is regulated is stick control forces.

They cannot be greater than a set level (essentially, an average strength pilot), particularly when performing critical manuevers.

This was actually the whole reason MCAS was engineered in the first place: to lower the effective stick force required to within the acceptable limits in certain scenarios.

So presumably Airbus in direct mode could still have similar issues flagged in direct mode, if the plane behaved in such a way as to require unacceptably high stick force to move control elements (even if it was a 1:1 mapping).
To your point, there's a quote I've seen with increasing frequency along the lines of:

Devoting your life to your family? That's slavery. Devoting your life to a corporation? That's emancipation.
Currently it doesn't matter whether they can pay for it or not as legally they can't have it (gov't tyranny?)

So let's ignore the cost; in principle, for defence against an out of control government for which guns are needed, are USAians who are pro gun also pro the idea private citizens owning serious artillery, explosives, tanks etc?

Totally. I fear the situation is economic and can only be fixed by occupying people’s minds with the idea of a better future and hope.
Do more interviews. It’s the only way to get used to it.
Yeah, the United Arab Republic turned out so well...

For the countries you list, the only time in history that they ever were all in the same country was a brief period during the Abbasid Caliphate, which quickly broke apart. There is a lot of bad blood between Persians and Levantine Arabs that is going to prevent any sort of stable long-term stability.

Cool! I wanted to do similar things, neat idea. These days i'm wanting to try something similar but with a nice UI - i'm so tired of the Terminal, but it's hard to get away because editors like Kakoune and Vim are just so powerful.

My wish is that you or I (if i ever have the time) will implement something like this onto XiEditor. Ie, implement this as a feature to a lower level editor backend, so that you get the frontends "for free".

It drives me nuts that there's so much work done for the frontend side of things, but the backend of editors are being reinvented repeatedly for little gain.

I hope Xi can make a performant, hackable backend to plug into solid frontends.
> The employer is almost always taking on more risk than the applicant—particularly in smaller companies.

I had my reservations with the “solutions” and reasoning proposed in the article up until this point. This is a “Sorry, you are wrong” moment for me.

Much of this article is based on the premise that this is solving for hiring Senior Engineers. If you are in need of one or one is interested in your company, then there is equally high risk for the engineer. They are potentially giving up a stable job, uprooting their family, putting a job hop on their resume, etc. That’s a lot of financial risk. There’s also the risk of your company not being as good as they hoped. Yes, that comes down to negotiations, but you are no where near that stage at this point in the evaluation process.

Again, I must reiterate that this is wrong because this article is geared towards Senior Engineers. Juniors and Mids, fine. I can accept that. However, for an article that started out trying to use data from interviews to understand both perspectives, it started skewing heavily towards the employer’s side by the end.
Elsevier threatens others for linking to Sci-Hub but does so itself
Knowingly hosting credible threats of violence I think carries some responsibility (although I wouldn't enforce it by law).

Beyond that I think it is a dangerous idea to take it much further.
Certainly, the search for meaning is the most fundamental human attribute after survival.

However, we tend to be fine for the search for bullshit.
When I think of a search engine I think of it as two things.

1. A web crawler
2. A search index

Or as a good boss used to say garbage in garbage out... the quality of the engine is as much a function of the index’s ability to rank as the quality of the input from the crawler... the fact that none of the other engines crawl with JS enabled is a huge competitive advantage for google

1) Why would I bother spending time "freshening up" on HackerRank? I don't do DSA, so things like binary trees are a waste of time for me; but they are a favorite of schools. Every second I'm doing that is a second that I'm not devoting to the driver work I'm doing (ONVIF stuff). I have a VERY full dance card. Writing generic driver code for a sloppy spec like ONVIF is...challenging.

I was interviewed a while back for a marquée corporation. Great outfit. Would definitely be a place that I'd like to work. I'd even have moved for it, and would have been happy to put aside my ONVIF work to work with them.

They had an HR "triage" person reach out to me to make sure that I was good for the next stage.

I sent them a link to my SO Story, along with links to specific repos that addressed the needs of the position (I have repos for multiple shipping apps on the App Store, and source for LOTS of stuff that is currently in use as industrial-strength infrastructure).

The triage guy didn't bother forwarding it, and the secondary interview was...you guessed it...a fifty-line binary tree test.

To add insult to injury, it was given in Swift, when the position was for ObjC, and the tester dinged me for not writing inscrutable, obfuscated garbage code using the nil-coalescing operator (think ternary, but worse). I deliberately try to avoid using it in a "chained" fashion, as it leaves unreadable code.

Basically, I was rejected for an ObjC job, because I didn't write ugly Swift.

All my work in open source has taught me to write extremely readable, well-documented code that can be taken over by folks; often with fewer chops than mine. I know that the outfit I was applying for takes that stuff seriously. They are a model that I like to follow.

2) You're right. I have figured out that "used to be a manager" is poison. I've had a number of times where I've made it to the techs I'd work with, and the process has stopped there. I assume that they are afraid I'd be hard to work with.

You don't last long at a Japanese company unless you are REAL GOOD at being a cog. I was excellent at it. I lasted for a long time.

I was actually looking at startups. I'd be almost ideal for a startup. I was willing to work cheap, and take risks, as my retirement was set, and I live extremely humbly. I have a huge array of skills and experience. I have management experience. I clean up real good and can get Japanese managers to commit (they make American VCs look like Santa Claus).

Ah...well...water under the bridge. More will be revealed...
/pol/ is not an organization. It's a loose community of people, almost none of whom have done anything worse than expressing terrible opinions.

Shootings are incentivized by /pol/ and frequently announced there, but they're not planned on /pol/.

I don't think "/pol/ operatives" meaningfully exist.
I think that controlling psychological rewards is more of a psychological intervention than a political intervention, but I'm agreed. (A political intervention would be called for if we were looking at IRA type events in Ireland, for example, with substantial networks devoted to providing practical support.)

One thing that I've begun to think is that as a nation our overall social climate has declined over the past few years, post-social media and iphones. It's hard to imagine that social climate issues wouldn't be related to a change in violence. (But maybe it's just my post-2015 family dinners and nobody else's!)
Other things we could do: Remove all cameras from schools. Remove police from schools. Remove metal detectors from schools. Restore ability for students to leave campus during the schoolday. Stop persecuting the most vulnerable kids on the basis of nonsensical 'warnings signs' lists derived from no rational basis or evidence.

Restore as much autonomy to especially adolescent students as possible while still accomplishing education. Stop driving kids into a corner and making them feel so desperate and trapped that they're willing to throw their own life away just to do a little damage and escape.
Android is typically the system that does not permit the workflow I was talking about. It does not make it necessarily the worst thing ever, simply it is an extremely different system than what GNU/Linux is. Now obviously it also uses Linux so it is useful to have some features even if they are (really) usable in one kind of system and not the other, but my point is that it would be better to have features usable by both, and we kind of know how to do it thanks to the pledge example: group the syscalls by theme, maintain the groups definition in (or at least shipped by) the kernel, done -- that virtually solves both the intermediate 3rd party library problem, and would have prevented that VDSO fail.

Really the Linux kernel being so decoupled from userspace is one of the point that let it be so successful. Having a technology which drops or reduces that characteristic so much is by definition not going to make that technology used everywhere... Which is a big opportunity loss compared to practical solutions.
Sure, they could even use it against enemies of America too. One of the other rights the Constitution gives Congress along with the right to declare war is the right to issue letters of marque, meaning it is still legal today for the US government to give any random citizen the right to raid a foreign state
