I'm more for Latitude and Longitude:

- Latitude/Longitude have been around for a long time, established, proven reasonably reliable.

- Ultimate more calculable, no need for lookup/conversion

- No language issues (three words seem to be primarily English) also unless it becomes an international standard whats to stop someone making a similar service with different words...

- Latitude/Longitude could be added to map legends (even with decimals, it still is quite understandable)

- Letter codes can be more confusing then a general numeric coordinate, get one letter wrong and you are off the map and not sure which letter is the one.

I use Lat/Lon in my apps and can't see how these would make things more efficient or as independent on external resources. They all seem much more arbitrary. (edited for formatting)

>One day the young man’s manager called her in a panic. The manager had asked him if he would like to complete a task that needed doing, and the young man simply said, “No.”

>Later, when asked why, the young man said he’d been working on another project on a deadline and didn’t think he should take on extra work. Scheiner explained to the manager that he needed to be more specific and directly tell the employee that he wanted him to set aside what he was currently working on and start on the new task.

I gotta say, I'm surprised that this needed to be explained to the manager. If someone asks a worker whether they want to do something and the worker say "no", the manager's instinct is to panic and escalate before trying to clarify anything?

I guess it's a good example for the article - it's easy to empathize with the person whose manager got confused, and easy to understand how dealing with those kinds of situations on a daily basis ends in the workers quitting or getting fired.

Everyone feels uncomfortable when a conversation goes off-script, but we as a society expect the 'abnormal' people to be the ones who bear the consequences of that discomfort whenever it arises. It doesn't seem fair, especially since the 'abnormal' people are expected to bear their discomfort in silence, but that's life for you.
In this case they weren't mutually exclusive, both the needs of the few and the many could've been met.

> Based on data, some sports are showing that women are becoming as competitive as men

Which sport? I know that they can compete in shooting and some other dexterity based competitions, but other than that men outclass women in every sport I know. Men just have more energy and power per body mass in addition to having more body mass, so for everything where you have to move around yourself or something else men have a huge advantage.
>because in this case killing doesn't serve any purpose. Revenge comes from an emotion, that's why I'm saying it's not really rational.

Rationality is a means of achieving a goal. Rationality says nothing about what the ultimate goal should be. If one's system of ethics places value on punishing those who misbehave, then it would be perfectly rational to launch a revenge counterattack. And I think it is quite plausible that humans evolved to behave in accordance with a system of ethics that places value on retributive justice. Viewed from the perspective of game theory, being able to credibly pre-commit to punishing defectors even at one's own expense can be quite helpful in the long run.

Perhaps you think that launching a revenge counterattack is wrong. But I contend that that is a question of ethics, not a question of rationality.
From the article: "People with Asperger’s syndrome, the term still commonly used for one of the most well-known forms of autism spectrum disorder, bring serious advantages to the financial markets: extreme focus, a facility with numbers, a willingness to consider unpopular opinions, a strong sense of logic, and an intense belief in fairness and justice. But, like other autistic employees, they often feel alienated from their managers, colleagues, and clients. Sometimes they simply get fired."

I wonder if these people were always fired, or has something in the business changed that made immoderate instances of these traits a liability? Tech has changed in the last decade, to where I don't think someone "on the spectrum," could survive very long in a west coast company without being preyed upon by people who trade on other attributes.

Using Pfeffer's triad of "Performance, Credentials, Relationships," businesses seem to evolve to where success becomes weighted to the latter two instead of purely on performance. Arbitrage, startups, and other asymmetric, high risk plays could seem to benefit from high performing people on the spectrum, where people in later stage businesses that have more linear growth or stability benefit from the latter two.

To me, the trouble with the most functional edge of the "spectum," view as presented is it seems to both normalize groupthink and some of the more shameful characteristics of political operators, and pathologizes clear reasoning and principle.

I get that expecting others to be accountable to my or any other general ethical rules is to choose suffering, but the tendency to pseudo-medicalize people as "on the spectrum," who lose politically feels ominous.
I agree that this is a refreshing take, and while I'm not fully sold on his argument I will play devil's advocate. The large part of any excess margin WeWork earns will not be necessarily for their operational expertise, but for the optionality for the customer which has real value.

With respect to utilization, there are some small businesses which are seasonal, or which have lumpy staffing requirements, for which we work might fit the bill.

What would be the alternative for small companies who want to have some kind of space to co-locate? If they feel like they can't afford something like We Work, they probably aren't willing to commit to a dedicated office space.

Also, it isn't just tiny startups that are using We Work. The article stated that 40% of their revenue comes from large enterprises. The money will be much slower to dry up for the large, established companies.

If they have a lot of capital available, maybe. But the likely scenario (my opinion): they're stuck with big multi-year leases to property owners, most of their existing customers do not renew their short-term leases because of the economy, and WeWork's existing cash reserves can't come close to covering the short fall until the market picks up.

EDIT: Grammar.
The problem is that they are heavily leveraged at current prices.

Like if WeWork had a great business model after a massive recession, so would a competitor that didn't have an awful legacy portfolio to deal with.

Short version: the FIPS is for enterprise. The Security Key is for consumers. The 5 series is for enterprise or power users.

This might be more useful for you: https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-pro...

You want the Yubikey FIPS if you're using it in a context where FIPS compliance matters, such as US government. If not (such as for personal use), then don't bother.

The Security Key series is the budget minimal "works as a FIDO authenticator". It lacks the bells and whistles that come with the 5 series. AFAIK it is not "less secure," it just lacks bells and whistles.

The 5 series works as a FIDO authenticator, but it also includes PIV capabilities (smartcards, PGP, etc.), which allow you to do stuff like this: https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/SSH_authentication/.* The PIV capabilities matter more in the context of enterprise/government applications where smartcards have been in common use as a 2nd factor for many years, which makes having an all-in-one smartcard+FIDO device very convenient.

* Caveat: I recommend against using your Yubikey for SSH private/public key authentication unless your SSH setup also requires a password. Single physical factor is worse than having a password protected key pair in your ~/.ssh folder.

Sourcehut has Mercurial support. It's open source and community maintained, and will remain supported for as long as the Hg community wants it to be. We recently took our Hg team out to Paris to meet the Mercurial community at the first Hg conference, and discussed how we can get involved in the future of Mercurial and committed to continuing to improve our offering into the foreseeable future.

I've whipped together a script to help you migrate your repos to hg.sr.ht, for those interested:

I lived through the dot-com bust. In Silicon Valley, there were scores of "technology parks" that were completely abandoned for years afterwards when the bust hit.

This is a company that can thrive in a Fed-fueled ZIRP economy that only goes up. If we don't dip into recession and keep growing for the next 15 years, this company will be genius.

But if there's ever a stumble in the road, it's also the type of company that immediately collapses on itself.

I also can't stress enough how detrimental Softbank has been and will be to Silicon Valley. They are dumping billions into companies that have no business being alive and if/when the econonmy collapses, it's going to be bad for the entire world. It's like preventing forest fires that clean up dead brush and instead sets up for a huge uncontrollable forest fire.

I'm personally trying to figure out how to protect myself, whether it's through buying US Treasuries, or gold or diversifying my cash in various currencies. But personally I don't think the fund is going to survive and there will be terrible repercussions from it.

TN absolutely has Lyme carrying ticks. In Tennessee, between 2004 and 2016, there were 5,950 tick-borne disease cases, according to CDC data.

While those number are not high, there are other reports that indicate the number of infected ticks in TN is growing. And considering that many cases of Lyme go undiagnosed in TN, it is likely that number could be substantially higher.

Be safe out there!

Thanks all for the upvoting and positive feedbacks for Crawlab. The reason why Crawlab is mainly focused on Chinese is because it was initially promoted in mainland China tech sites (Juejin, V2ex, etc). Due to the GFW we cannot access the info outside China, therefore it would be difficult for us to know the feedback from non-Chinese developers.

We definitely would be happy if more contributors can join Crawlab development, so we will be working on the improvement of multi-language support including English documentation, Code of conduct, Contributing.md and English communities. Our team is small (please check out the Contributors section) but from top companies in China and we would be happy to share knowledge between Chinese and non-Chinese developers.

Btw, what is the best tech community? (In China we have Wechat group)

It’s owned by Atlassian but who knows if revenue generated exceeds costs incurred for that specific product. Somehow doubt they’re going to disclose that.

Would be nice if companies were transparent about which products and services made the most money, rather than (best case, public companies) stating earnings for the whole company and breaking it out fairly opaquely through categorizations.

On the flipside I could see this being useful information to competitors, and instructive on which parts of your business to attack.

And I appreciate your comment and you. Thank you.
However I remember seeing studies by Italian television which showed that fruit markets in cities had very high levels of pollutants that stuck to their surfaces. This was related to how busy the road in front of the fruit market was, but will be compounded by the long grow period. So the produce will need to be cleaned very well.

That's a pretty glass half-full summary of the data. I'd recommend reading this retrospective (linked from the article) for more detail: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/52/suppl_3/s253/444754

It's also a vaccine that, among other things, probably required multiple shots and maybe annual boosters.

To be sure, Lyme has become a bigger problem since that vaccine was pulled and, with the benefit of hindsight, it probably should be available for high-risk adult populations in spite of the risks.

Of course, it would probably have to be added to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program so the manufacturer couldn't be sued. Probably academic anyway as there is hopefully a better vaccine from a French company in the pipeline.
Just some observations:

- In my country, Lithuania, tick-born diseases have been increasingly becoming a major problem. We had them for some time, but I think the problem has been amplified by the climate change in the last few decades. At least, the summers got hotter and the winters certainly start later than they used to in my childhood.

- Ironically, cleaner environment and stricter EU regulations on the use of pesticides and other chemical compounds also played a role: tick population is flourishing. The government doesn't have or at least cannot come up with some means to control it. Spraying forests with some chemical compounds would certainly produce serious side effects and would do more harm than good (unless something new gets invented). There have been some discussions in the parliament to raise the issue at the EU level.

- There are essentially two main diseases: tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme disease. They are both very nasty. There is a vaccine from TBE. Unfortunately, vaccination is not universally funded or compensated by the government. Only for certain groups (forest rangers, members of the armed forces, etc). Nevertheless, a lot of people
(including myself) get vaccinated and it's one of the most popular vaccines.

- Apparently, there is also a vaccine from the Lyme disease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#Vaccination . In 2000s, it was tried in the US, but then subsequently pulled out from the market. It is unclear whether the vaccine really had side effects or it was due to anti-vaxxers.

IMO, more effort should be put on: 1) large scale vaccination 2) research on possibilities to control the tick populations.
Yes, and - to certain extent - it is understandable, but I have seen similar (conceptually) messages expressed in much nicer ways.

This one sounds to me plainly rude.
