Have a paid contract with Glassdoor and they're exceptionally strict and make it known they'll only take down reviews containing blatant falsehoods or proprietary information.

You can flag them, and they'll get looked at - and their definitions of falsehoods or private info are obviously subjective, but it's been made clear to us they can't do anything just because we've paid.

Will see how the contract plays out, but I'm minded to believe them, part of the sales patter is that negative reviews actually help you weed out people who wouldn't fit in so they're already lining you up to think about having negative ones up.

That being said, and though I find their business model disgusting, we definitely weren't a hard sell for them.
I’m not sure how it is at APS-C (I use a full frame DSLR) but I don’t think there’s much room in the workflow of a lot people using DSLRs for more computation I’m the camera itself.

I know if I want a _great_ picture I

- shoot raw.
- shoot on manual mode (often still with auto exposure).
- put the photo into Lightroom.

With a huge sensor and a fast lens there’s no need for a lot of the computational photography phones are doing:

- “portrait mode” - unneeded when you have a fast lens and can get more real bokeh than you could ever need.
- “night mode” - with modern sensors you can get usable images even at 6400/12800 ISO. This lets you get a solid image even at a reasonable, handheld shutter speed.

The real improvement other than sensor dynamic range and pixel count has been in autofocus. I still miss some some shots with my Canon because I didn’t react fast enough to nail my focus.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to fill those gaps. The process typically goes like this.

1. Realise I need to learn x, out of interest, necessity, etc.

2. Start reading a book on x, the book assumes I have an understanding on y and z as well, which I don't, so I realize I should learn those first.

3. Buy a book on y or z

4. Repeat step 2, but for whatever I just started reading on.

I worked for Amazon until earlier this year. They worked everyone hard as fuck. Even principal engineers worked nights and weekends. It was the worst experience of my life.

For people reading these comments you need to understand these people who say it's blown out of wack and FUD (lmao no) it isn't. And typically the people who get themselves into positions where their job is butter at Amazon is because they threw a bodies on the fire to get there.

It's an awful company to work for if you're a deg. It's even worse if you're a warehouse employee.

When people go on the record stating they have to piss in Gatorade bottle because they don't get sufficient bathroom breaks it's not FUD it's a shitty employer. /Rant
Ah, I understand the first part now, thanks. Makes sense not to want to support Disney. Not sure what's with the "I make sure my content is gratis" part (someone always puts time in it, and how does it help not to pay/donate to the indie artists that make it available for free? That doesn't help the lobby), but I can see how they're trying to avoid them the same way as others avoid Shell or Nestlé. Not sure if GP pays for any service in the industry though, that's kind of necessary to create a positive change.

> basic human right

IP protections are also not basic human rights. When Ug invented fire, he didn't get an exclusive right to license it out to other Neanderthals for 20 years.

Now, I'm not saying that infringing on copyright is right or moral, or that IP protections are wrong, but that it's a valid debate to what extent these things should apply, and what morality is attached. Our laws as they are today are not necessarily an embodiment of what is true morality. Just dismissing it as "stealing is wrong!" is not a strong argument. Most of us agree with taxation, but in a way that's stealing as well.
Our culture seems to have just gotten angry all the time and at everybody. Probably not healthy. Definitely a waste of emotional energy.

Exactly.

There's a problem here, though. If there was only a single distribution channel, that would be a monopoly with corresponding prices.

So this means that there will never be a distribution channel which is satisfactory. Unless perhaps a non-profit organization runs it.

There are old Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny) cartoons from the 1940's, when America was at war with Japan - there's an episode titled "Bugs nips the Nips" that includes some very politically incorrect Japanese caricatures. They're working overtime to make this one disappear as though it had never existed.
I have not found this to be true. I suppose it depends on your use case and deployment.
The disproving technique of lateral thinking: brainstorming big ideas
Easy. Civil law operates on a concept called "preponderance". It's not absolute in nature it's a measure of likliehood as measured by non subject matter experts(a judge and some randos). Imagine a person has fallen on your property and injured themselves. If you are known in the neighborhood as a person that takes care of your sidewalk(shovels, patches broken concrete, etc.) and can produce evidence(character witnesses, testimonials, visuals) to that effect your case is strengthened.

No one ever got directly hacked because their password was too strong, but lots of people have had passwords guessed by brute force.

So put the two together. Its beneficial to have strong passwords because they can be presented as evidence of due diligence and there is no security risk to enforcing them. There may be some business risk(people fleeing because they don't like your password policy) but someone needs to quantify that its a problem for it to be considered in the calculus.
Unless it is data about political stuff like religion, race or gender. I bet someone has even gotten fired for believing in evolution.

I use T-mobile now, so I suppose switching wouldn't be to much of an issue in terms of coverage. I'm currently grandfathered in on an old pay-as-you-go plan that gave 100 minutes a month (I don't talk on the phone much), unlimited texts, and "unlimited data" (5GB then basically nothing). However T-Mobile makes it increasingly hard to stay with that plan, like eliminating the ability to refresh your plan earlier than 30 days, and for the few times I use it as a phone the service is spotty-- full signal, data works fine, but it might take a few minutes for a call to connect, sometimes failing and requiring multiple attempts. Mint might be an improvement.
> This is a strange sentiment to find on a board that is at least a partially targeted at aspiring company founders.

It's not a universally held belief that a company founder must try to make as much money for themselves as possible.

Entrepreneurs, like everyone else, have values, and some of the values are in conflict with some of their actions. I have a hard time imagining anyone (excluding sociopaths) who legitimately believe their actions don't create any conflict with their values. Discussing the conflict between "I want to start a company" and "I believe there's a maximum amount of wealth that one can morally or ethically acquire" seems super relevant to the audience here.

> He signed some paperwork, then later 500 million shares (or however many) came into existence and he had them. Who did he take them from?

I don't think it's worth getting hung up on whether anyone "took" wealth versus created it, because I'm not sure those are mutually exclusive. I would argue MS "took" money from people via unfair bundling practices, many of which were anticompetitive and landed the company in hot water. If you want to be simplistic, MS under BG took money from everyone who was forced to buy a windows license despite not wanting or needing one, at the very least.
Apple requires bitcode submissions for tvOS and watchOS, this has effectively meant that you needed Apple’s toolchain to build and distribute binaries for those platforms.

Bitcode is an intermediate format produced by LLVM, which allows for optimization passes to be applied to it across different languages. For example, C, C++, Swift, ObjC, and Rust can all benefit from some of the same bitcode optimization passes.

In theory Apple wanted this so they could improve the performance of applications when distributed on some of their platforms, though the benefits and potential of this has been a bit dubious. It did mean that Rust (until this) couldn’t easily target those Apple products.

Why Some People Become Lifelong Readers

Everything available everywhere for $12.99/month isn't feasible so folks are going back to piracy, even though signing up for a handful of streaming services one time is easy. Folks just don't want to spend the money per month it would take to watch everything they like.

This was always the inevitable outcome of trying to do a la carte TV and approach the original cost of a monthly Comcast bill.

... what? `rebranch` isn't a command in git? I think you mean rebase, and sure, if you were rebasing the entire history it would be slow and awful. But don't do that. Rebase at like `HEAD~10` (or whatever) to only clean up the last 10 commits. There's no performance issues or even management issues. Maybe go read the rebasing section (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing) of the git manual...
this guy runs a really popular tourist photography show in Yangshuo, China, which is one of the most popular tourist destinations within China both for local Chinese and foreigners. He uses a bird to catch fish for him. The birds throat is clamped so it cannot swallow the fish. I think it reflects an old way that fishing used to happen, but nowadays it’s purely a show for photographer tourists and you have to pay him some money for the show.

The low light performance seems like a genuine leap forward compared to previous iPhones, so your low-light shots will probably look considerably better with no effort required on your part. But to get the rest of the benefits and take pictures like the other, you’ll need genuine photographic training/experience.

Interestingly enough, I didn't write “litteraly” but “basically”. You are attacking a strawman here("figuratively" so ;).

And you probably should check what's Godwin's law again. Godwin had nothing against calling Nazis Nazis. If I say “Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrent are Nazis” do you have a problem with that too because they don't have their Nazi parti membership card? Maybe we should stop calling Hitler “fascist” because he didn't belong to the Italian Fascist party either…

Stefan Molyneux writes and talks about the superiority of the “white” race, believed that there's a conspiracy to erase it from earth (the white genocide stuff) and that something (guess what…) must be done to stop it. If that doesn't count as Nazi in your book, I am sorry.
Is Program Analysis the Silver Bullet Against Software Bugs? by Karim Ali
How is this supposed to work?

What decides how often my ad is shown?

Who pays the ad reviewers and the infrastructure?
Well -- I was comparing Perl to Python in this case. There is roughly the same amount of boilerplate and both are easier to read than bash's redirection.

The wart is that you need IPC::Open3 or equivalent because Perl's intrinsics can not synthesize the pipe operator (though you will think that they can) if you need to insert yourself into the middle of a chain of commands.

Nowadays there are decent wrappers for calling Open3 but more commonly you just find people running one half of the command, buffering the output, and passing it to the second half.

> Our 96-hour deadline was fast approaching — with compliance demanded by 2am on Saturday — by the time the M&G print edition hit the streets on Friday morning. Fridays are traditionally the biggest days for online traffic at the M&G. This is when what appears in the weekly paper is published digitally too. [...] But, shortly after 8am on Friday morning, Linode informed us that our account had been suspended for failure to comply. They’d jumped the gun. [...] The M&G Online, a national news publisher and the oldest news site in Africa, had been taken down.

Even if Linode really didn't have a single recourse, they still chose to go beyond their legal obligations and shut the site down early, with timing that at least looks deliberately calculated to cause the most damage. They don't deserve your advocacy.

I pay for Spotify, but then the week after I bought a new Smart TV Spotify turned off access from the official Spotify app on the new TV, and told me they were revamping it. Years later, I still can't listen to the service I pay for on the device I paid for, and as far as I can tell I've only been lied to about it. But MP3s on a flash drive work great. I used to pay for FloGrappling. First weekend I had it, I wanted to watch 3 fights and they lost sound or partial video for all of them and had spotty service the day of the event. I had the results spoiled for me before I could watch any of them. They refused to refund me any money. YouTube had videos of the same fights, recorded contrary to venue policy, so I just started scouring YouTube a few hours after fights. NBC pays tons of money to get exclusive access to sporting events and then offers inferior coverage. But I can get on a VPN and get it elsewhere, or I can torrent it after the fact.

Media companies steal from me all the time through breach of contract and anti-competitive behaviors. I'll pay for the service, and then the minute they break their end of the contract and don't care about it, it's on. I'm not going to spend money suing them or calling for charge-backs every time - someone has been offering me better service for less money this whole time.

Agreed. Currently reading the biography of Disney, and it’s so depressing to hear he was the punching bag of every writer, journalist, critic, and university professor throughout the 60s.
