Extending this thought: if you thought that the primary concern of so-called elite institutions was ever "fairness", you're mistaken. They deal in Influence.

And yes, it's highly ironic that the current fashion for identity politics and all the other "post-modern" ideologies were started and perpetuated by these institutions, which don't actually engage in said ideologies outside of hiring humanities professors that say whatever they please. Even within that behavior, the hyper-left trend of said professors is much stronger outside of the Ivy League than in it. The tip-top institutions are quite conservative when the rubber meets the road.

No, “interrupters” do not have to be “overpowered”. They just have to be interrupted, which is something they are expecting, and will stop talking to accommodate.

The back-and-forth of a conversation (including interruptions) is a collaborative endeavor, not a “confrontation”. Something like playing improvisational music together.

If someone often interrupts but will not easily allow themselves to be interrupted, or if someone completely ignores what the other person is saying, then that is just rude, not some difference in conversational culture. That’s not what we are talking about in this discussion though.

For people in an interruption-heavy conversation culture, someone who sits back and doesn’t say anything because there is never a long pause where no one else is talking – or who doesn’t jump in and say something when the interrupter starts saying explaining something they already know, leaving the interrupter to waste their time – seems cold and distant. The non-interrupter’s silence feels judgmental and antisocial. The interrupter will often interpret the non-interrupter’s behavior as an indication that that he/she does not like the interrupter or does not want to be part of the conversation.

Often this impression of standoffishness is inaccurate, a result of cultural misunderstanding. Just like the non-interrupter’s impression that the interrupter is confrontational or rude is inaccurate, also a misunderstanding.

* * *

There are many similar kinds of cultural differences which can lead to misunderstandings.

When someone from a culture where each person gets a personal plate to eat from meets someone from a culture where everyone eats from a communal plate, each person can interpret the other’s behavior as rudeness.

When someone from a culture without much physical contact meets someone from a culture where people greet each-other with hugs or kisses, again, each can interpret the opposite behavior as rudeness.
The theoretical site described in the article requires that every account be tied to a real person (e.g. by driver's license or library card). I think having something like this would produce a climate very different from those on the *chans
Amazon employee here that used this service or it's immediate predecessor. It's just a branded third party teledoc service for internal employees.

I described very clearly that I needed a refill of a common non-scheduled medication. They took my credit card info and charged me $50, transferred me to the NP who immediately told me they could not prescribe it.

A waste of time and money. I went to the NP at the local CVS MinuteClinuc and had the bottle of pills in 30 minutes.
lol. But yes, I do really want to abuse the spec. You could also do this:

var $ = (function(){ this.version = '1.2.3'; return this; }).call({})
console.log($.version); //1.2.3

But that's not quite as ugly so I guess I lose some points.
Skilled developers but unlistening management who didn't understand software development or how the software itself worked, coupled with proliferation of non-developers taking the helm and dictating deadlines, "procedures" and illogical mandatory time-consuming processes where "designers" were separate to developers but didn't know how to write any code, leading to dead-end development that had to follow said mandatory illogical procedures. Dysfunctional testing "department" that didn't know how the software worked despite being there for a decade and relied on "technical support" for basic computer tasks relating to the software being written, eg add an ODBC connection. Lack of any formal technical designs, specifications or comprehensive documentation. Constant criticism of developers for taking time actually doing their job or wanting to improve things versus the spreadsheet army surrounding them. Minute micromanaging and justification of all time spent doing anything. Lock down of development machines because someone somewhere once ran a dodgy exe they were emailed. Code reviews involving sarcasm and belittlement. Most over-complicated code ever known to man with focus on prior optimisation (eg ordering of class members to stop any padding). A billion COM objects. Confusion that developers never ever stayed!

I went part-time elsewhere. Who cares if I earn less. At least I'm not shouted and sworn at all day any more. I do miss some of the devs though.
$10/month if you factor in the need for a cellular plan for the watch?

$15/month for a fall detection device vs $399 + $10/month buys a lot of months. Yes, I know the Apple Watch does more, but I wasn't the one who tried to make the comparison.

Does the Apple Watch stay on the phone with you until EMS arrives? Is it capable of giving medical information to dispatch?

Another "Apple was the first to do this!"... "No it wasn't"... "Well, the cost is different!"... circumlocution.

I could care less, either way. Whichever device gives me less false positives (but not false negatives) works best for me as a first responder.
Contingent upon support in something like ceph or minio, yes.

> The poll you cite indicates a 4 to 6% support for cancelling Brexit. It seems... unlikely... that 90% of Remain voters have now switched over to Leave.

Why not? Losers consent is a part of democracy and life. However I will admit I cited a poor source, it was not my intention to be deceptive.

The thing is, the will of the people is what the referendum said at the time, nothing else. If it's changed, so be it, but the first result must be implemented first.

> If there was another referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, how would you vote?

The question is also extremely suspect. It's not asking what the current opinion is, it's saying if we do it all again. These are different. It'd be great if all votes could be done with the benefit of hindsight, but to my knowledge nobody has invented a time machine yet.
"It seems highly likely that these preferences are socially constructed."

People love to think this way, but study after study suggests that those preferences are at least partly biological. It's one of those cases where there is a disconnect between the scientific understanding and the beliefs of the general public (including policymakers).

See for example this research work: https://www.math.kth.se/matstat/gru/5b1501/F/sex.pdf:

"Results showed that the male infants showed a stronger interest in the physical-mechanical mobile while the female infants showed a stronger interest in the face. The results of this research clearly demonstrate that sex differences are in part biological in origin."

Chinese app files on my Pixel phone?
I don't have any Chinese apps installed on my unrooted Pixel phone (were installed at some point long time ago but since then deleted). I just connected it to my laptop through Android File Transfer and found 107MB worth of files from the following apps:

- alibaba
- alipay
- baidu
- bytedance
- taobao
- mobike
- tencent

https://pastebin.com/sNevkFQQ

Files are world readable on file system so I can write an app that would read these and presumably get my history from those other apps.

Why is Android not cleaning up these files from apps I've uninstalled long time ago? And why are Chinese apps writing files into shared space?
Ah, but they don't sell chiche phones, laptops, and watches :)
I lived in Pittsburgh for 8 years. It was eminently livable as a single grad student on a ~$30k stipend, but I wouldn't want to raise a family on that or thereabouts. Also, apartments may be cheaper but COL is an average over the whole metro area, and decent apartments or houses in a neighborhood you'd want to live in are a bit more. (Say $1000/mo for a nice 1-bed, or $300k for a decent house.) Keep in mind that cars, electronics, health insurance, and myriad other consumer goods aren't cheaper just because the city COL is cheaper. I'd probably want to make $60k or so to actually be comfortable and put some money away (edit: as a single person, and more than that with a family). (Fortunately, software engineers in Pittsburgh generally make quite a bit more than this, from what I've heard.)
Fwiw Chrome on OS X supports the zoom mode you are talking about. (I'm not talking about ctrl-+ text resizing zoom.) On a mighty/apple mouse, it's a triple tap gesture iirc.

So far, the comments here are seriously misunderstanding what Amazon is doing here, and are getting unnecessarily inflammatory just because it’s Big Bad Amazon.

It’s just a remote care benefit. My current employer offers it, administered by a vendor, and it’s separate from your actual insurance. You can call or video chat, send pictures, and even get prescriptions filled off-hours. It comes in handy for a lot of common quick scenarios.

The only news is that Amazon is big enough to self administer it.

It’s pretty much inevitable that companies of that immense size save money by self-administering or self-insuring many benefits like this.
If economists actually understood the economy, they wouldn’t be economists, they’d be billionaires.
Of course, one might also note that these institutions are only "elite" because of their connection to the, well, elite. The entire idea of "fairness" here doesn't really make sense. If Harvard committed itself to "fairness" it would no longer be an elite institution, and nobody would care how fair its admissions were.
From the article:

> The Apple Watch also alerted Gabe Burdett that his dad had fallen.
> I was up and running and working within 30 minutes of doing my tour.

Have you ever done workshare places before? I put my laptop down and start working. 30 mins seems a long time for that.
That is an interesting idea. What kind of performance could we expect, especially in the federated case of searching multiple buckets? Elastic has sub-second latency (at the cost of running dedicated containers).

Glad I left those monkeys even if it means paying 6x more to a different (business-grade) ISP but at least none of my money is used to finance cancer like this.

> match their own custom audience segments across Channel 4 platforms in a cookie-less, GDPR compliant way.

I don't understand how this can be GDPR compliant. It seems they are using the Facebook approach of "both sides have PII and only exchange hashes of such PII" but as far as I know whether it's the actual PII or the hash, as long as it can be used to uniquely identify the user it still falls under personal data as per the GDPR, and I don't think "targeting cancer on live TV" would fall under legitimate interest.
Also does Apple Watch require ownership of iPhone?
The feature has to be turned on and configured. The cycling group I am in has had dozens of people realize they were accidentally forgoing this feature while wearing the watch, so the impact of this article is potentially huge.

This aspect, I absolutely agree with - the differing markets for devices. I hope I would not need to buy such a device for 20 or 30 more years. But I do own a Fitbit. And may own an Apple Watch. Very different sets, with differing benefits.
My garmin watch has it, ~3 yr old tech
I just got my series 5 Apple Watch a couple of days ago, and the ECG functionality is a big part of why. There's history of heart disease in my family, and I've been to the doctor a few times with symptoms but of course when I get there they find nothing wrong. Maybe I'm a hypochondriac, who knows. Anyway, last time I went my doctor asked if I could share data from my watch, so figure I'd upgrade so I can get an actual
ECG – what a time to (hopefully) be alive!
I'd steer more toward "use it at your own risk" vs. "we're good because we'll be policing things for you".

> Why doesn't RH just let people use RHEL without support ?

They do: it's called CentOS. CentOS was acquired by RedHat in 2014, keeping an independent governance body. But the reason RedHat didn't release itself as open source was Oracle. They were rebuilding RHEL and reselling it, so RedHat closed up its process and did the bare minimum required to comply with the GPL. Brian Stevens confirmed it. So now RedHat exists in order to make money off a supported product [and fend off competitors [and enforce trademarks]], and CentOS exists to keep control over the open-source spin-off of the same. So if you want the real deal certified supported enterprise distro, you have to pay for it, and if you want an uncertified slightly-not-the-same open-source alternative, that's free.

> Merit students clearly get no benefit

You're basing this conclusion based on an earnings study? That's pretty questionable reasoning!

I received an incredible education from MIT (and I was admitted based on merit), but I took that education and went to work for non-profit research institutes, because making as much money as possible was not my primary objective.
"Competitive" is a curve, not a point.

Solar can be cheaper for daytime generation before it's cheaper for nighttime generation (when you need to tack on the cost of storage). Electric cars may already have a lower TCO, but if you already have an ICE car, it may not be worth the transaction costs of immediately selling it and buying an electric car instead of waiting until you would have bought a new car anyway, whereas it could be if gas prices were higher. The TCO is also affected by how much you drive, so the gas price that justifies replacing your car depends on how much you drive it.

There isn't a price level where $0.01 below it no one can justify buying an electric car and $0.01 above it everyone can. The higher oil prices get, the more people end up on the other side of the line.
It isn't my intention to build a strawman, so sorry if that's how you interpreted it, but I'll try and rephrase.

We may live in different regions or have had different conversations, but the trend in conversations I've had in the North across all age groups seems to be rejection of the EU because they're holding us back. The last part is key, because it's not destructive, it's wanting to be constructive but not being able to. Some (most? I don't know) Brexiteers don't hate the EU, they just think we can be a better nation without them.

Either way, I just don't think you can break it down to constructive and destructive mindsets. My argument is that those are entirely subjective depending on your viewpoint (leave/remain) anyway.
> you offer no evidence to support whether it is true or not.

The point is that it illustrates the study may not have taken such considerations into account. It calls to question the accuracy and efficacy of their results.

Despite other deficiencies, JavaScript devs are generally pretty good at writing async code, for the simple reason that you get burned suuuper quickly if you try to mutate state outside of an async context when doing things like adding click handlers. This is something most front-end devs learn pretty quickly since it's such a fundamental part of writing JavaScript.
Poor wording I suppose. My garmin is prior to that one, and has fall detection by using my phone via Bluetooth. Not sure who had it first, but definitely before that 2019 Verizon model.
I am entirely self taught. I have a degree in History but didn't do any programming in college courses.

Everything I learned I learned from a non-structured source.

I talked my way into my first technical job, then talked my way into my next, and so on. Many people denied me during coding test or on resume screens.

But for the few employers who didn't, I thank them for taking a chance on me and it seems they're keeping me around because I deliver valuable code to end-users.
There was a similar issue with EVE Online deleting boot.ini

TIL. So it is even easier and I don't know what's the problem with dvfjsdhgfv. I think unless Debian stopped adopting systemd nobody would be happy.
Hey. Google Keystone tech lead here. We are aware of the issue, and we've stopped the release. We're building a replacement that fixes the problem. In the meantime, to fix affected machines:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle
sudo ln -F /private/var /var

This deletes the affected version of Keystone and reinstates the damaged /var symlink.

The version of Keystone packaged with Chrome is not affected by this bug, so allowing it to reinstall Keystone will not recreate the issue.
I agree with your general point, but in the specific case of WeWork the benefit has to be tempered to a large degree by the fact that they are losing obscene amounts of money. They are definitely not running as a sustainable business right now and, while they might make it work long term, but I doubt many people will be shocked if WeWork doesn't exist in 5 years.
I have SIP disabled and Chrome installed…will my /var be broken by sometime tomorrow when Keystone runs? Can I just disable the launch agent to fix this?
From what I heard they were doing some notable data engineering - leveraging 4square data to decide where to put locations based on optimisation algorithms, profiling potential lessees based on known good ones, optimizing workspace layout based on camera and keyfob data, lease price elasticity tests... Lots of interesting domains. Sadly I'm sure this was/is one of the first departments to get downsided post backdown.
I think this could be a function of what you have been working on. If you're working on cutting edge/niche things, github might be better. For good ol' tech stack, Stackoverflow is still golden.
On windows and linux most installers are intended for system-wide instead of per-user installation. You can get most of the sandboxing functionality without admin/root.
UK petrol prices are ~65% tax, with the bulk of that being the fixed fuel duty. Prices in the US swing much more dramatically with oil prices.
Kinda. The part that they're referring to is it being Garmin's first device with cellular capability. But it's definitely vague around fall monitoring too.
It may be true for every other provider, but does that mean it isn’t still a problem?
> Same with both Linux and windows.

Could you clarify how this is the case on Windows? I thought Google Chrome installs and runs just fine without admin privileges. I'm not aware of any security downsides for doing so.

several garmin watches have had this feature since May (I think) of this year, requiring a paired garmin compatible phone, actively running garmin app, to work; sends text to selected contact about “incident.” Doesn’t appear to contact emergency services.

Headline is misleading.

The watch detects falls and calls 911 based on that, not based on "unconscious".
It has begun to, in favor of AMD64 - with the Epyc processors which appeared in mid-2017:

they've been generally competitive (probably much more so when you factor price in). Now, with Rome having come out, their market share is supposedly increasing quite rapidly, since apparently it trounces Intel's Xeon offerings.
Immaterial to the point, I think.
Or my preferred (gross) version:

It's as tasteless as watching Jerry Springer, or watching people gang up on someone over Twitter. Yes, that's my opinion and that's what I believe. I don't think treating Democratic candidates with disrespect is any better. There are many things I don't agree with, and it seems to me that even simplifying why I disagree with them is not respectful. People will claim that someone on the opposite side of any given spectrum is stupid, and that's really just an oversimplification fallacy most of the time. Yes, they could be ignorant in some ways, but mostly people just have different values. I don't think reducing the value of others is particularly beneficial.

"At the UH Cancer Center we routinely deal with datasets in the TB - PB range ..."

...

"Do you happen to have an S3 bucket with that data live?"

As someone not working in academia (or in this field at all) can you help me understand the question you have just asked ?

Specifically, wouldn't it be tremendously profligate for them to have that PB range dataset living in S3 ?

Given the resources that a university has (in both Internet2 connectivity, hardware budget and (relatively) cheap manpower), why would they ever store that data outside of their own UH datacenter ?

If the answer is "offsite backup" wouldn't it be glacier or nearline or ... anything but S3 ?
