Last summer I remember a coworker telling me he was writting bots to counteract what he belived to be bots employed by republican polititions. I already felt like the signal to noise ratio on twitter had gotten pretty bad but at that point I realised there isn't enough left to ever justify exposing myself to it again.

“The Wire” in its last season thought-provokingly explores this topic. What got me was the big lie was comprised of a mesh of micro-decisions, not a big monolithic deception.
I think it’s quite appropriate in this context, where tons of them come out of the woodwork to defend this bullshit.

> It's currently in-vogue to be scared of and hate nazi's. For some reason though that sentiment never took root against communists.

It did, there was plenty of paranoia and hatred of communists during the Cold War days, we just never fought an actual war against communists (edit: except in Vietnam and Korea, I forgot that for some reason...) Of course, a lot of that Red Scare stuff was just a thin coat of patriotic paint over anti-semitism and anti-gay bigotry, but I digress.

Also, it's not in-vogue to hate Nazis. Everyone other than Nazis has hated Nazis consistently ever since Nazis were a thing.

What is in-vogue, however, is to be a nazi (little n, colloquial meaning, because I know sometimes people like to be pedantic) amongst the American right and alt-right, as the current American President's election has coincided with a revival of right-wing populism and white supremacist identity politics. No, I am not calling Trump a nazi nor am I calling all Trump supporters nazis so they can stop clutching their pearls ... that white supremacists decided to turn the populist movement that brought him into power into a narrative of racial identity and purity has been well documented, and it actually depends little whether Trump has sympathy for them, or is just their dark horse.

And that is why America is currently concerned about nazis (little n) and not communists. Because the nazis (little n) managed to meme a President into office, and the communists did not.

>It's almost like that type of political ideology took root in american institutions thus paving the way for this new narrative to take hold that communism is good and facism is bad.

There is no such "new narrative." Communism has never been trusted in the US, and fascism has always been "bad."
I visited a friend in South America. The city was, and I just checked still quite clean. My friend said the reason was city took over the trash service (which got them in trouble with the IMF) and put out dumpsters every few blocks. Soon as it was 'free' people stopped dumping trash on the street. Two answer the question people at least there would carry a bag of trash a few blocks.
A kernel's interface isn't necessarily syscalls. On macOS libSystem's C API is the API of the kernel, because syscall stability is not guaranteed.

On the other hand, pretty much every kernel has a C API.

This is a lesson to not assume you're good at investing if otherwise intelligent.

The Intelligent Investor, by Graham, brings up the archetypical example of a doctor/dentist and his financial misadventures. His (or her) disadvantage is that they're obviously intelligent which pushes them to be overconfident in a field in which they have zero experience. Overconfidence breeds poor risk management and eventual trouble.

Since Google isn't actually deploying the cell networks and they actually use a mixed set of providers, I am not sure if this assumption makes sense.

If the mobile network T-Mobile is overloaded with T-Mobile customers and has a small fraction of Google ones, then Google will tell T-Mobile to throttle the customers that exceeded their contract limit?
I have actually started buying movie codes off those dodgy looking sites Disney hates. You can usually own a movie for the cost of a rental from Amazon, Google or iTunes.

I have never had a failure but I once had an issue with a purchase porting to Movies Anywhere from Google Play. Google was beyond useless in helping me out, I actually spoke with someone on the phone and it was as if they had never even seen the Play Store before. I emailed the seller about it and got an immediate email response with a couple suggestions to try before refund, the first suggestion worked.
Ten Misconceptions from the History of Analysis and Their Debunking
This is not productive. I have opinions about the tone here because I like reading comment threads here. "Hurt" is not something I can speak to.
for anything involving concrete deliverables and obligations, I really like having a written log. Like you say, it also forces communication to be more explicit. It's easy to handwave details away in voice.

OTOH something like story ideas sounds like the kind of thing that would benefit from voice. Situations where things aren't already spelled out nicely, where rapid feedback and iteration are valuable.

Political ideology is NOT like incest and necrophilia at all. It is our history and needs preservation.

I never said kids were dumb, but they absolutely are curious, and forbidden knowledge is an incredible lure. The absolute majority will realise it's messed up, but there will always be that few who become radicalised from what they see.

Rather than burying our past we should and need to teach them why it's wrong. This trend of rewriting history is extremely worrisome.
Weird how you argue that people aren't stupid enough to fall for nazi bullshit, yet you still didn't argue against banning it.

So which is it? Are people capable of making rational decisions or do people need to be protected by those with the (current) correct ideology?

That's unfair. Engineers don't always get to exercise their skills or best practices if their CTO gets in the way. Or if other external obstacles block the CTO. I've worked with very talented people who are totally wasted because the company just doesn't care to get the tech right when it comes down to making that investment.

Autonomy to get things right when it's the right call is sort of a rarity and a real luxury in my experience. I've built a ton of things I knew could have been built better if the rest of the company saw the value in doing so.

When given the option to do your job as asked or quit because you don't have your way, I'd rather just do my job and wait for opportunities to improve things if they present themselves.

It's a cliche that the kids from the rich side of town, who didn't put dirt in their mouths growing up, are the ones who get mono in college.

This is true but not necessarily for the reasons you think. Epstein-Barr is largely harmless in younger children, showing up largely as a common cold. It's not that the "farm kids" didn't get infected; it's just that they were infected long before they got to college.

(And to preempt a common question: No, we shouldn't proactively expose kids to Epstein-Barr when they're young. While they wouldn't get mono, Epstein-Barr has other long term effects; for example, it has been implicated as a trigger for autoimmune disorders.)

I did that to an overzealous sysadmin who wouldn't see the light about why a 30 minute password lock policy after three failed interactive tries with horrendous complexity requirements was a bad idea.

Typed in his email address in front of him, hit enter three times, locked him out. Since this was a military base, typed in the commanding officer's email address, started to do the same thing, and suddenly the sysadmin saw the light shine down from heaven.

I think theres two possibilities that are believable for me. I dont think its 'aliens' or other extraterrestrials.

Either it is completely fake, made up by the navy to hide something else that they wanted to cover up, and could also serve as a confusion tactic for other countries aerospace programs, some sort of fake internal thing to tease out a mole or another situation like that.

The other possibility is that it really is some sort of new propulsion device being tested by a top-secret government agency or some other private party, and somehow they made the fatal mistake of being sighted by the jet. I simply dont believe the us military would release this video if it was actually a new secret technology they were trying to hide.
There is more than one incident. In one incident (2004 Nimitz FLIR1, west coast), the object is static and then initiates non-newtonian acceleration. In the next (GIMBAL, undated, east coast), the same behavior of static hovering with non-newtonian motion.

In another, your example (2015 GOFAST, west coast) a slightly different elongated object is cruising at Mach 0.5 at low altitude, close to the water.

"We are a startup that inherited a 15 year old website" was one of the things that resonated when I worked there.

Facebook is Alexa #5 in the US and has ~40,000 employees. Reddit is #6 and has ~500 employees. Twitter is #17 and has ~4,000 employees. (Numbers taken from quick Google searches)

They have some super talented engineers that work miracles with band aids and bubble gum.

Edit: Yes I understand not all employees work on everything. I was trying to give a sense of scale. Reddit is a tiny company with a massive website and no way to make money. If you have ideas - they are hiring.
Personally, I think the solution is just to give users options to censor others from their perspective instead of just trying to create some utopia that is free from hatred of any kind - which is impossible.

Personally, I prefer having these disgusting people out in the open. When they do something horrendous, the paper trail can be long and damning - making it much easier to convict them. These people are usually proud of their deviancy and advertise it without shame.

The notion that if we just ban all the sick people they will just go away and never do anything evil is ludicrous. The evil is already in their hearts, hiding it won't heal it.
It's cute that you think you're scoring points.

I think President's Trump overall strategy here is:

a) remove ability of states to set national policy on environment regulations

b) pull the 'global warming discussion into the constitutional courts ( where it might (or might not) get cleansed from the claims that are impossible to confirm, or asks that impossible to implement constitutionally.

I suspect the 54 Mpg average for a fleet, will specifically go into questioning from the above angles.

c) get the courts, potentially rule on relative power and scope of Federal agencies (eg EPA vs NHTSA) (as before these kinds of things were set jointly).

d) Conspicuously Remind California, that defecating on Federal laws about immigration, federal elections and other national/constitutional matters, will continue to have negative impact on their ability to get special treatment from Fed gov.

---

This specific set of actions, and the ones that will be coming on this subject -- seems to be result of multi-year review that President Trump and his team are conducting on all of ex President Obama's admin 11th hour executive actions (there were a slew of them). [2]

The letter [1] from automotive industry alliance, is asking this in 2016:
"....
We urge EPA to reconsider imposing such a far-reaching mandate on entire industry without adequately considering the consequences, and without
giving stakeholders a meaningful opportunity to comment.

The MY 2022-2025 standards threaten to depress an industry that can ill afford spiraling regulatory costs.

If left unchanged, those standards could cause upt to 1.1 million American to lose jobs due to lost vehicle sales. And low-income households would be hit hardest

The Alliance is not asking EPA to make a different Final Determination at this time. All we are asking is that EPA withdraw the Final Determination and resume
the midterm evaluation, in conjunction with NHTSA, consistent with the timetable embodied in EPA's own regulations. We believe that, if carried out as intended, the Midterm Evaluation can lead to an outcome that makes sense for all affected stakeholders and for society as a whole..."
...."

By the way, personally..., this letter might have a merit, but reads a bit like the coal mining discussion (where coal mining owners and execs are warning about job losses in the industry ..... but mowing down whole mountains, and causing lung deceases is ok....)

>"High-speed data up to 22 GB/person & slower after." is not unlimited data when the "slower after" speeds can barely load google's search page. It is, 'high-speed data up to 22 GB/person & slower after". Do we need to start throwing around a dictionary definition of the word unlimited? This is getting old...

I use Freedom (previously known as Wind) in Canada, and their "slower speeds" on the unlimited plans are more than satisfactory. I don't even notice that I'm throttled until I check my text messages.

As a result, I reach 12GB+ on my 6GB plan almost every month.

So for me, their unlimited plan is very much unlimited.

You're missing my point.

Those most likely to be radicalised are already isolated.

If we scrub content about Nazi ideology from Internet Archive (and everywhere else), these people will find it elsewhere and likely be even more radicalised than they otherwise would be.

Nobody is arguing it should be mainstream politics, only that it should be archived and preserved as lessons to the future generations.
I'm not familiar with SlideShare, but from Wikipedia that seems to focus on sharing presentations rather than building them.

Here's what I mean, specifically: advisory work done by the big consulting companies and Wall Street M&A shops usually consists of lots and lots of Excel files being carefully massaged to create certain outputs that are then dropped in as images into PowerPoint with some text around them, mostly following the exact same formatting guidelines, which are then printed, bound and shown to clients.

Currently, you have to train people to not only know how to come up with the data (i.e. corporate finance, accounting, management consulting) but also teach them how to use powerpoint, think about formatting, make sure they memorize the right color palette, etc. Sometimes formatting alone is 50% of the work – your boss will always tell "you used the wrong shade of blue"...

A lot of these pages are the exact same across assignments. One example is a standard page with valuation multiples over time, comparing client company against a set of peers and/or the S&P500. Or a stock price performance chart.

Annoyingly, you have to set up pages manually virtually every time, and there's no separation between presentation and content.

With RMarkdown + RStudio, you can write Markdown code and embed images into your resulting PDF. Banking / Consulting is doing the same thing, except using PowerPoint. But PowerPoint is a slideshow app, not a PDF authoring tool.

My hypothesis: creating a PDF authoring tool that embeds data from Excel / other sources with formatting kept separate (think a separate CSS file) would be a game changer and revolutionize the industry (though admittedly Wall Street hates changes and convincing people to use this would be an uphill battle)
