In the case of U+1D42 Modifier Letter Capital W I was wrong about the cause, it was in fact specifically added on the rationale that for this purpose (phonetics) the presentation was semantic in nature, and so the plain text (thus Unicode) needed to preserve these symbols which could otherwise be handled by a presentation layer.

U+1D42 Modifier Letter Capital W was added in Unicode 4.0 as part of the Phonetic Extensions and Wikipedia provides a long list of Unicode committee paperwork regarding this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonetic_Extensions

You can see that initially it would have been numbered differently and then over the course of several drafts the proposal evolved until it was assigned U+1D42

Hey Parthi, do any of your pricing plans allow us to host the success page on our own domain?
>I have a master's degree in engineering and I found some of those word problems to be ambiguous.

I faced a similar problem when my son was in 3rd grade (I also have an M.S. in Engineering). All of the work seemed to be geared to helping kids develop an intuitive understanding of math and numbers, which is a great goal, but the way it was taught was to teach the same "intuitive" methods to all kids. We all intuit things differently and my humble opinion is that parents and teachers aren't fully prepared to understand and teach math this way. Attempts to promote intuition simply become methods that are different than the ones we learned.

I was able to work around those things and help my son, and he was able to develop a fairly good intuitive understanding of numbers. Where the approach falls down (again, in my opinion) is where structured approaches are required, such as in long division. By the time 5th and 6th grade came around, my son didn't have the reps at doing it and had some struggles.

It has started. They are doing actual tests of waste packages in actual final disposition tunnels. See the photo gallery.

> When all waste will be inert we may evaluate the sanitary consequences. Meanwhile the dangerous hot waste may or may not harm.

I don't understand how you can justify this statement. Again, commercial nuclear waste in dry casks has never hurt anyone and probably never will, yet nuclear power has produced ~5% of the world's energy over the past several decades, and it does so without emitting carbon dioxide, and it does so 24/7, and it does so with very little raw material and land impact. Meanwhile, fossil actually kills 4.3 million people every single year. How can you justify a nearly fantastical fear of nuclear waste future harm while 4.3 million people are dying every year from air pollution from the alternative? This is like Germany, who phased out nuclear plants while keeping brown coal plants on, thereby choosing literally to kill about 1000 extra people per year because of their fear of radiation. This feels wild to me, and borderline inhumane given the statistics.
Obviously the markets can’t go up forever without a correction, and overleveraging will happen and add up in the financial system. Negative interest rates are a sign of this insane stimulus.

The difference in the US this time around is that the public will have no say in bailouts of banks. It will be done all hush-hush with the world dollar reserves and demand for the greenback as the final backstop:

I'd rather not have to carry two mobile phones around which would be the alternative to BYOD.

BYOD is fine if the MDM software does profiles and allows the separation of company data and personal data. That way the company can only wipe its own data and not the personal data.

> In the end it’ll likely be difficult for them to prevail over Google

Why do you believe this is true? CA has arguably the most employee-favorable laws in the country, particularly wrt workplace discrimination.

I would withhold judgement until more facts come to light; an important one being which legal firm(s) they have chosen to represent them.

If I had to bet now: Google settles before it goes to trial; plaintiffs walk away very rich in exchange for signing a non-disparagement agreement; no one else will know the full story.
Right now that's because of my founder bias, but we're looking to include more and more types of topics across health, business, marketing, fashion and so on.
Indeed, one also has to install a root CA at Google to use the device for work. No thanks.
I think the duplication issue is probably overstated. I doubt tackling that would shave off more than 20% of the total backup size.

Most of my giving is to GiveWell’s top charities, to be disbursed at their discretion. I think that as an incredibly high-earning, incredibly wealthy person by worldwide standards, I have a duty to help relieve the burden of global poverty.

It’s not tax-deductible, but I do give a little bit of money every year to scihub. I’d like to start giving to someone that fights industrialization’s assault on biodiversity, but I don’t know who that would be.

I don't think GiveWell would rule out a charity because it considers the human element in a way that makes it less economically efficient.

The question is just, is it overall more efficient at broadly "bettering people's lives" in a way they can measure? That's it. If you can show that letter writing is a worthy trade-off by e.g. looking at long-term impacts, I'm sure they'd be for it.

Perhaps you object to the fact that they require measurement. Fair enough, the best things in life are free. But the "bags of grain" (really, "bags of malaria pills") approach is already at a disadvantage to the "give someone a flock of chickens" approach, because the latter tells a story and tugs at our hearts. That doesn't mean it's worse, but I think GiveWell's thesis is, that also doesn't mean it's better.

Yes, I would rather see Google accept/tolerate all political viewpoints. Google is mostly liberal but that doesn’t represent everyone. They have a significant influence.

We should all be free to form our own opinions, whatever they may be, and not fear retribution from anyone.
This isn't a product yet. Not focusing on safety when it's ferrying people is one thing, but not focusing on safety when the craft doesn't even work yet is another. I read this as an order of operations thing. First work out the concept, then get it to work, and then get it to work reliably. As long as nobody is in danger putting reliability last seems natural by definition. Once it's reliable, it's done.
All my stuff is backed up off my phone anyway, so I would only be mildly annoyed if my employer wiped it. I'm glad they have the capability, because otherwise they'd require me to carry a separate work phone, which would be super annoying.

As to the ethical question, under some ethical systems, voluntary agreements without coercion are by-default ethical. My employer doesn't force me to install a work profile. They're happy to supply me with a separate phone if need be. But I voluntarily take on that risk for the convenience.
No evidence that power posing works
While this person obviously didn't empathize with your concerns, it should be mentioned that bank tellers are often under pressure from higher ups to sell products to walk-in customers, regardless of whether they need them or not. And the easiest way to sell is to basically tell the customers that their concerns aren't valid.

The most egregious example of this is the Wells Fargo scandal, where new accounts were created for customers without their knowledge [1]. Similar complaints can be found with pretty much all major banks. It's a natural consequence of a culture where employees are ordered to upsell customers on lines of credit, new credit cards, and other financial products.

That's right. I have been using Debian GNU/Linux as my main laptop OS for about 13 years now. I used to have GNOME 2 desktop environment earlier but once GNOME 3 became the default, I switched to Xfce Desktop Environment. The fact that the Debian project still offers a CD image[1] with Xfce bundled as the default desktop environment is really nice.

Having said that, I have to confess that these days I also use macOS a lot. This has happened mainly due to my job. My employer provides MacBook Pro for work and I prefer not having to switch between operating systems too often, so my usage of Debian GNU/Linux as my main laptop OS has been on the decline. Despite that, I always keep a Debian virtual machine as well as a remote Debian system handy, so that I can log into it via SSH whenever I need it.

The claim is that Google wiped her personal phone.

Furthermore, companies like Google have worked hard to blur the lines between their employees' personal and professional lives. I'm not particularly sympathetic to them suddenly drawing hard boundaries when it benefits them.
The end goal with bpf is to allow arbitrary untrusted programs to load bpf programs. If you were just loading kernel modules you wouldn't be able to maintain kernel integrity and let arbitrary programs load code.
CBD being the main drive to get into hemp seems misguided. People have been pushing the advantages of hemp fibers in industrial use cases for a long time, but obviously it will take awhile for these products to build up steam since hemp was less common in the past.
What exactly does Google do for BYOD? I use my personal phone for work, but I've simply added my work GSuite account as one of the accounts on the phone, in addition to my personal one. I can access work email, use work's 2FA, but at no point in time (as far as I know) does work have the ability to, say, delete files from the device or from my personal backup accounts. Are Google employees allowing something far more intrusive, or am I underestimating my exposure when I have multiple Google accounts configured on my Android phone?
I agree. I use "What about?" almost daily. It can either be a gentle suggestion, or a request for information. Neither is aggressive, so it works out both ways.

This person chose to have their free phone from the company as their personal phone too. This is completely optional at Google, a really nice perk, and it's made very clear that anything under your work profile will be wiped if you leave.

They will not wipe your personal phone or your personal profile on your phone. This is completely avoidable and shouldn't come as a surprise.
I'd love to know how he literally shook hands over Skype video.
Yes, the parent approach is the same thing but with a decimal point added for convenience. The main thing is that the scale is fixed; it is effectively an integer count of 1s of the least significant index. It is impossible to truncate values or round upward and create money that didn't exist. This makes it perfect for representing actual money.

It's a great idea to use Firefox like Wirecutter, as a recommendation for the best of each service type. Combine that with some thin interface over the top, like an OS, to control all the services you subscribe to with unified billing. Password leaks, manager, file sharing, bookmark sync, vpn, dns, newsfeed. Now a new person starting out on the internet doesnt need to learn about haveibeenpwned, dropbox, mullvad, cloudflare, and facebook/pocket. They can let Firefox (hopefully) select the best of each product type, and white label it as part of the Firefox family.

I bumped into a guy I had just met on freenode, playing WoW Classic. He was using the same handle and starting the same conversations.. really I probably could have guessed who it was without the handle, lol- guy just has a certain tone and range of topics. It was nice to see someone IRC culture pushing moderated discussion in /trade, but it also illustrates why I don't spend much time on IRC anymore. So many people going in loosely predictable circles, and I'd be one of them, until some angry and drunk incel or political sock-puppet shows up to try out whatever misanthropic chat script. As if getting booted for being annoying and disingenuous is some kind of gold-star accolade. And for that to be the interesting part - ugh. I enjoyed IRC a lot more when I would have had a tall glass of whisky to go along with it. IMHO its still the best social network on the internet, too bad that isn't saying much. It's great for languages including the non-programming ones still, for sure. And reading that one russian guy tell stories about being a kid among the intelligentsia and politburo of the late CCCP era - wow I don't know where else I was going to get any related personal experience about that. Pretty cool.
Mozilla, because we need more than one web rendering engine.

EFF, because they fight for a bunch of tech issues I support.

Software Freedom Conservancy, because they do a bunch of legal legwork for open source projects.

Internet Archive, because they're doing a bunch of good work preserving our culture.

TPT (PBS), because we should have high quality non-commercial education and entertainment.

ACLU and ACLU-MN, because they fight for important legal rights for all Americans and Minnesotans.

Planned Parenthood, because they provide critical education and medical services for underserved people.
I definitely use IRC to communicate with users of open-source projects like Spacewalk or Fedora. Anytime I can't get decent help using forums or Google searches, I go to IRC and work with the community there. Works very well!
Walgreens did this to me, too. My package legally contained alcohol, with the right label, and they refused to accept it.
Absolutely, but the impact is definitely still there and I think we just need better metrics to capture the more complex results. After all, it's likely possible to do child sponsorship well and poorly.

As a side note airlifting in grain in often far more expensive than buying the grain closer to the target area, and causes significant economic harm by putting people employed in farming and the grain supply chain out of work (sometimes the very people the intervention was supposed to help). The main reason we do it is the domestic grain lobby.

> Two-thirds of food for the billion-dollar US food aid programme last year was bought from just three US-based multinationals.

> The main beneficiaries of the programme, billed as aid to the world's poorest countries, were the highly profitable and politically powerful companies that dominate the global grain trade: ADM, Cargill and Bunge.

For-profit capture of foreign aid is a much larger problem. For example, remember the news stories after Trump announced cuts to foreign aid saying many retired generals had signed a letter saying foreign aid was vital to protecting our troops? Most forgot to mention that that letter was organized by a trade organization of big defense contractors that regularly win foreign aid contracts (and employ ex-generals)

With the recent US tax law changes, I created a charitable giving account via my brokerage to bunch up donation contributions to the account and then parcel out this account balance during the intervening months. Edit: this also allows anonymous contributions, which tends to defeat some charities' tendency to send unsolicited commercial mail.
So when others treat you in ways that you don't like (or you misinterpret their meaning) it annoys you. Sounds like you are supporting the idea of the article, albeit from a contradictory starting point.

I see your point but allowing workers to decide the politics of a company is populism.

People feel confident because they have many like minded colleagues. What happens when the winds change? Are people going to be happy when the workers of Exxon decide that it’s in their best interest to extract from some wildlife refuge? It’s not a good idea. We have laws that should govern corporations and businesses . It should not be a referendum for everything.
Mullvad actually charges €5/month, which is about $5.54. (This doesn't take into account the 10% discount if you pay with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.)

The $4.99 rate would be a 55 cent discount over the standard rate, which matches the cryptocurrency discount and would likely help support Firefox financially.

I think it's possible to be a steal for both. Brian has the unique position of being able to leverage this business into something far more valuable than what he paid for it (a road that would have been much longer, difficult, and riskier for Josh), while Josh got a sum for the business that far exceeds typical super-early stage SAAS valuations. There are probably many owners of SAAS businesses generating up to, say $3k in MRR (obviously, exact numbers are impossible to pin down), that would be thrilled with such an exit.

It sounds like Josh also got to hold on to some of the upside while taking a bit of risk off the table. Seems like a win-win on the surface and with the experience Josh will get working with Brian, he may be able to grow his next venture to a later and more valuable stage. Kudos to both of them.
