I used something similar to this in the past to evade traffic manipulation on a controlled network. Iodine gives you a full tun/tap connection and encapsulates an ipv4 connection over dns null requests and responses. I'm not sure it is stealthy as such countless random requests to a single wildcard domain look a little suspicious even in the high noise environment I was testing in the blue team caught on after a few months.
I ran mosh and ssh over top to secure the connection

As someone who has edited since 2007 (pseudoanonymously, about 13k edits), I appreciate the continued investments that Wikipedia has made into various initiatives, most importantly technology. It's not cheap or easy to stay on top of technical trends (e.g., upgrading to PHP 7) while shipping feature improvements. For example, I use Visual Editor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor) all the time.
As someone who will eventually have to deal with this, is there an advantage to using "Buy Me A Coffee" over just implementing a Stripe/Pay Pal interface for myself (assuming I have the skills and time to do so)?

I'm mostly interested in payment workflow discussions. I actually don't care about sales/marketing possibilities.
It's not that hard with a phased array. Not trivial of course, and there are lots of subtleties (like handoff) but it's known engineering.
A version using vi bindings would be amazing.
It's not subtle at all. Anyone who knows the current state of affairs (i.e. Sundar being CEO of Google) will have deduced this based on the myriad of titles on this topic alone.
That is a interesting idea, but if implemented it should be user-configurable what URL patterns (and sources of URL patterns, so that you do not have to enter all of them by yourself if you do not want to) and to enable/disable such function, and maybe should be an extension. Anyways there are other purposes for Incognito mode too that you might want such a thing (which is possible whether it is "explicit content" or not).
Government employees don't legitimately recruit civilians without making them sign a mountain of paperwork and lots of tedious travel through the bureaucracy. Anyone who asks you on the spot to do something that makes you vulnerable, or doesn't explain its full purpose, doesn't have your best interests at heart.
Just flew from LA to Boston on JetBlue. Woo free WiFi. Boo everyone is on it, literally unusable.

Then I flew NY to LA on Alaska. Woo WiFi that isn’t free so there’s bandwidth. Boo it’s $40 for the flight.

How’s 20 bucks sound?
This is pretty cool, congrats on shipping! What stack are you guys using?

This is anecdotal, but I have noticed this pattern in several large (multinational) companies at which I have worked.

In a particular well-known American tech company with a large office in Tokyo, our recruiters were in part responsible for the pipeline of new recruits from abroad. I began to notice the recruiters feeding the pipeline with people that were essentially cookie-cutter templates of themselves.

I would say 90% of the interviewees had the same background: 30s-40s white male with a Japanese girlfriend/wife that wanted to move to Tokyo for family reasons. At one point, it just became a cliche.

I have no opinion on whether this was a good or bad thing, but it definitely overfitted for that particular persona and shifted the company's internal culture and diversity.

So while the source of the pipeline is definitely skewed, I would argue that whoever is doing the recruiting and subsequent hiring need also be evaluated regarding their criteria for employee selection.
The article says that.

> If we want to avoid disaster, we need to start shrinking the cancer now, before it is too late. We should make spending transparent, publish a detailed account of what the money is being spent on and answer any reasonable questions asking for more details. We should limit spending increases to no more than inflation plus some percentage (adjusted for any increases in page views), build up our endowment, and structure the endowment so that the WMF cannot legally dip into the principal when times get bad.
Looking it up, there are many usages of the word bias that support your definition, so I'll concede that point.

However, I think GP was using the term bias in the way I tend to think of it which is measurement bias; that is evaluating male and female candidates differently from each other, so I was pointing out a way in which the candidates that show up to interview can be biased in a way which is definitely the fault of the company.
Definitely a lot of tyre kickers. Every time I've marked something I'm selling as e.g. '$500 negotiable' I get tons of messages saying "what's your best price" or "what's your lowest offer?"

That's not how haggling works. My lowest offer is $500 until I hear yours.

Aside from that, I've had good experiences selling old video game consoles on Gumtree.
Your point is a fair one, and I admit unfamiliarity with Corretto, specifically. But they're telegraphing, right on the tin, that this new service will indeed recommend solutions of the form "we see a problem pattern in your code; try Amazon _____". The fact that Corretto is actually open source further muddies the waters.

I don't think trying to select for an ethical core really works. Ultimately, you are either going to go along with the people around you or you are going to stick to some principles that aren't shared by everybody, and in the latter case, you're going to be unsuitable for the job, because you're not running the company.

So looking for evidence of ethics in an interview is just looking for a smooth talking hypocrite, even if you think you really want to.
The other point of the article is that WMF has zero willingness or ability to restrain its spending growth (demonstrated over a period of years), much less cut back by 23x.

Wait, "cout" from C++? "Clout" is a real English word, I always figured it was pronounced the same minus the "l", which is neither of the versions you have there.

My understanding is that, in general, it's not possible to send a fax via cell phone audio because the digital compression applied does not pass enough information to sustain a fax modem connection.

That’s a laudable goal, and to that end I imagine it would do a world of good to stop the constant exaggeration of how disenfranchised those groups are (NOTE that I’m not saying these groups are fully enfranchised, only that the disenfranchisement is exaggerated). At some point, advertising tech as a bunch of rapey, Nazi frat bros is probably more offputting than whatever discrimination actually exists. Let’s ditch the boogeyman and see what happens.

That's how it will have to be done in any case. The only question is whether they'll split the phased array transducers in one large array to look at two satellites at once, or have two separate smaller arrays. Both approaches can be made to work, and the first is probably better aerodynamically.

As a person without a CS education but with 30 years of industry experience, including several of The Bigs, I urge young people to get an education in anything but CS. The number of CS degree holders, even the masters and doctors, who struggle with statistics, linear algebra, or even thermodynamics and basic accounting is pretty dispiriting. Get an education and learn to program computers. Two separate things in my humble opinion.
They recently acquired Fitbit so I expect we should see some brand new product developments within that category soon enough in the future. I do feel they have not participated as much within the IoT market which still has so much potential unrealized. Perhaps the market is not ripe yet without 5G availability? It's incredible that we have all these new AI and ML tools and still they don't really have a lot of meaningful impacts yet in improving our daily lives if we really think about it. The main opportunities still remain mostly unexplored.
"maybe not really the best for coming up with the next big thing"

But does any huge successful company that ends up having a second act really do that, go and find a visionary* to rejuvenate the company? With Nadella, wasn't it more like, Microsoft did a lot of random things, and when one of them was particularly successful, then the leader of it (cloud, Azure) rose to the top? Not that they picked him and then he decided the direction of the company.

*Jobs isn't really what I mean, because he was the original visionary, not a replacement.
The "aaaahh man!" reaction seems way too casual/jokey for a criminal setup that could have serious consequences for everyone involved. If I realized my scam target wasn't playing along, I'd probably nervously pretend that's completely fine and thank them for their time (something like that).

Lizardman's Constant Is 4% (2013)
I can see the argument for say 175 employees and a reduced scope, while building up an endowment to better weather down-years is better for WMF's long-term goals, but there's also the risk that reduced spending would cause reduced donations.
Small suggestion, but I wish the gifs spent more time on each image. When I'm trying to make out small details in screenshots it takes longer than the brief amount of time allowed. Better yet, click to zoom screenshots.
FWIW I have Udemy at work and from time to time, typically in the weekend, I follow a random course. Generally 2-4h max, typically 1.5-2x speed. Last one was on screenwriting, though I'll certainly never make a movie. :)
We should also distinguish between statements of fact which do have truth value vs statements of opinion which don't.

"Is Hillary a bad person?" asks an opinion and has no objectively wrong answer.

"Did Hillary run a child abuse ring from a pizza parlor?" is objectively either true or false regardless of how many people believe it.

Relativism may have started with the intent of pointing out this distinction (eg the 19th century firm belief that "Primitive societies are bad") before being over generalized.

I think people are missing your point. As we all know, removing unbiased and false information is an unsolved problem, so I find it a bit odd that they claim to be able to do this. Not only that, but now they will be held accountable in this regard. I can't see how this statement made it through PR.
Removing the “firewall” between Google and Google Health will prove to have been a big mistake. They should have stayed separate under Alphabet.

malfeasance is an unlawful act.

They were negotiating with the government - who writes the laws.

I was curious about the malfeasance - but if this is the the claim of criminality - uh... not a good look for the folks yelling at amazon.

I think MUCH stronger claims may be possible around just their fake product volume and consumer harm there, but good luck with these claims - are they being litigated anywhere?
Reading this back it might seem like I don't think women compete, on the contrary, women's MTB series seem to be just as popular and competitive as the men's series and they seem to get just as much television time. I remember being impressed by the coverage the first time I watched the Enduro World Series coverage online. My main point was just that MTB as a whole is much less competitive and more welcoming overall than other cycling disciplines.

Accenture [1], BHP [2], Dell [3], and that's just a cursory glance at those that have made public commitments to 50% women "sharp" by a target year. My comment had nothing to do with software in particular (I explicitly call that out), just the utilization of the metrics themselves by any company.

I have nothing against companies taking a moment to reflect on how their hiring practices may be unintentionally (or worse, intentionally) stifling diversity. Rather, I'm invoking Goodhart's law here, in that "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Drug abuse and obesity are generally a response to chronic stress. America has a chronic stress epidemic due to our work culture and lack of social safety nets.

"J&J, the world’s largest producer of talc powders, said in a statement that it recalled the 33,000 bottles of Baby Powder out of an “abundance of caution.” Eleven days later, the company announced that tests by labs it hired had determined that there was no asbestos–other than some contamination it said came from an air conditioner – in samples from the one bottle tested by the FDA and the batch it came from.

At this point we rely on our community to flag harmful content. In the long run we want to rely on our community more and more to help us not only flag but also remove content. Hopefully even police departments may be able to play a role here.

To some extent we may not be able to verify every person's statement which does not mean that it is invalid. Instead, we want to ensure that the most accurate and verified content can be surfaced while other content is pushed further down while still having some role to play in the conversation.

Has our work culture recently become more stressful or our safety nets diminished?
I suspect that full refunds for user mistakes aren't entirely typical.

Not everyone has a high spend account and a rep who brags about their policy of refunding mistakes frequently enough to snipe them with "If you have a policy of refunding mistakes, then why didn't you?" in front of customers.

I would like to emphasize that I've chosen my words carefully: I don't know for certain that the rep intervened, but I made trouble, emailed him the information necessary to resolve my issue, and then my half refund became a full refund. Any connection between these dots is pure speculation on my part.
Good point. The developer tendency to resist fixing bugs caused by our tools just leads to complacency about broken tools.
Leaked data shows Amazon workers get 2.5x serious injuries than average
I totally agree... it's like over-roasting coffee beans. You trade bitterness of flavor but get consistency. That's a legit process control approach to manufacturing. And consistency of brewing beer is a huge deal... it's not that hard to make a decent home brew (it helps that it's usually fresh like home baked bread), but it's REALLY HARD to make the same beer (that people are coming back for and paying money) batch after batch. You need control not only of ingredients (and the damn things change), but also the yeast, time @ temp... and cleanliness!

It's a lot easier to add lots of hops.
"Negotiable" is the magic word that invites bargaining. Just list the price alone and people will assume it's negotiable, unless the term "firm" is included somewhere near the price. Even then, some people don't read, so that crowd just comes with the territory of selling things online.

I have a simple rule. If the offer is less than 80% of the asking price, then I assume it's a lowball and simply ignore it and the offeror.

TBH, that 3x increase in expected hosting cost (33/11) doesn't seem bad to me. Maybe Wikipedia has a lot more redundancy now, maybe their pages load faster in more countries, maybe they're using external cloud providers instead of running bare metal, maybe they host more stuff that doesn't get as many page views, etc. (For example, I'm pretty sure I could host HN off my desktop computer, but I'm sure it's hosted in a safer way than that.)

How many employees is the right number? Is "1" the right number, is "300" the right number? How does Wikipedia's growth compare to other well-known companies?
