If these people are so easy to fool and manipulate, why do we allow them to vote? If all it takes is some post on Facebook to change their votes, there will be dozens of other easy ways to manipulate them. Are the other ways better because they more opaque or tend towards one ideology or another?
Almost all of these arguments boil down to "People are dumber than me so I should be able to control what they see". Dress it up however you want but ultimately this is about feelings of intellectual superiority and a desire to control outcomes in favor of those who wish to control the narrative.
Don't forget to account for the total lifecycle in a building. Companies will fit out a new office space with company branding, furniture, etc. I suspect this happens far more often than myself making equivalent changes to my home's interior design. Which is to say, I don't move houses much and I'm not in the habit of arbitrarily rearranging partition walls.
Yeah agree. The only reason I use a smart phone is for everything besides a phone. Sometimes I'll browse on the web, but it's usually because I see so many drones doing it and it looks fun. I don't instagram, tweet. Mainly just reading eBooks, music, and wasting time on youtube, but I've been a good boy lately and have cut down on that dramatically. If only someone had created something where I can upload my music and my books to something without all the connectivity. I can't touch on what I'd call it.

They changed the data type on the shares_owned field from int to floating point. That's about it. You never owned the shares in the first place, and their maximum risk is the unallocated fractional amount of 1 share of each affected stock (I do wonder if BRKA is disqualified).

I had this same thought.

We were building a HIPAA compliant app a few years ago. OSM looked like a good option and fit a lot of our requirements. Then I looked into actually using it and ran.

To me, it seems like there's a huge opportunity for OSM or a third party to run a managed OSM instance.

Safari's tracking policy is in large part intended to protect users against the Facebook ecosystem (even though, yes, it is not specific to Facebook or any other domain and just establishes policies for technical behavior): https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/4/17427000/wwdc-apple-safari...

> Cross-site tracking is tracking across multiple first party websites; tracking between websites and apps; or the retention, use, or sharing of data from that activity with parties other than the first party on which it was collected.

I think that having Facebook share tracking information with Repixel and in turn with Repixel's customers counts as "sharing of data from that activity with parties other than the first party on which it was collected," no?

I still write quite a few things in VBA.

Blue light lenses fake marketing – Doctor says companies are exaggerating
What's really rough about the steady stream of bogus reports is that they're injecting noise into a channel you really need to read, because amidst all the garbage CAA and Clickjacking and cookie handling and CSP header and Firefox 2.x open redirect nonsense are occasional serious reports of things like XSS, and the important reports aren't any better written than the bad reports so you have to read everything kind of carefully.

My experience has been that you get the decent reports regardless of whether you even have a /security URL, but if you open a formal bounty program you instantly and permanently ratchet up the noise, because this is a way for people in lower-income countries to make money in their bedrooms with a laptop and without much thought. You shitcan the bullshit CAA record reports, but other companies without people who are good at triage on staff don't; they'll shell out a couple bucks for them, even though they're garbage.
OMG. Got stuck in Prince of Persia but I am not much of a prince anymore without the "megahit" :)
I scanned a document today with my Canon N607U from 1997 on Ubuntu 19.10.

I still remember when I plugged it in into a Ubuntu 8.04 laptop in 2009 and Ubuntu told me nothing about it. Trained by years of Windows and countless popups and notifications I assumed it didn't work. I even looked for Linux drivers then I tried the OS scanner program: the driver was already in the kernel and the scanner was working, no need to bother me with messages. I never had problems with anything else (printers, webcams, etc).

On the sad side, my laptop from 2006 is still working (actually it's resting in a drawer most of the time) but it can't use a kernel more recent than some old 3.x version because anything newer won't support its ATI X1600 graphic card. I should try to boot it from a 19.10 USB stick but I'm not confident that somebody bothered to readd support for something that was dropped along the way.
Huh, I was part of a study during my brain MRIs at NYU Lagone. I wonder if my brain is in there.
My company manages a little over a hundred (and growing) microservices running on .NET Core a bit of Python and NodeJS in AWS. I don't think there is anything dated or boring about .NET in comparison to say Node. The tools are a pleasure to use. The code is a pleasure to write, test and deploy.
On the topic of work attire, one interesting argument/explanation in favor of professional (read: suit) clothing is for the compartmentalization; like Peter Parker becoming spiderman, you only do work in that set of clothing. When the suit is on, you're in work mode. When the suit is removed, you're in non-work mode. This way you don't associate work with your casual clothes. I thought it was an interesting point in favor of a specific set of work clothing.

I am not trolling, and I am insulted that you would insinuate that. I'm offering an alternative categorization of Prolog which I have found, over a decade of using Prolog, to elucidate its pragmatic difference from languages which more directly reflect the sort of first-order logical reasoning for which @wruza wishes Prolog would see more use.
In general, yes, it tends to be looked down on, particularly if it's most of your history. Obviously there are exceptions, but as a general rule, people will assume you are contracting because you could not get a full time position. This is more true at big tech firms that don't hire contractors for "core" engineering roles.

Many VB developers found C# easier to transition to than VB.Net; one reason is that some of VB.Net's syntax and parameter orders changed and became unintuitive when bouncing between the old and new.
I have a hard time believing that Hungary, Malta and Slovakia have comparable gender equality to Indonesia or Arab Emirates.

I understand the arguments against BASIC, e.g., ingraining impractical paradigms, but I do wonder if I would have ever gotten so deep in without exposure to it. I doubt that I would have jumped directly into asm, c, or fortran as a child. Even Pascal was a major leap ahead and probably somewhat inapproachable without help.

Maybe that was only the case in the '70s and '80s. I'm sure that if I had Python as a kid, it would have been just as easy to experiment as it was with BASIC back then.

Most of the teaching at the office involved the regular processes, like giving appropriate tasks, recommending learning materials, and collaboratively reviewing work (their and ours). And of course, answering their questions.

I never tried to teach, or have been taught, something like a course (even a mini-course) in anything in the workplace. But then again I don't believe most developers are qualified to do that (I don't mean "credentialed").
I'm both disgusted and amused by this. Thank you for sharing. I love hearing stories like these on HN, random windows into the lives of people on HN.
Wearing a suit is armor for race specifically because of its association with money. Race is dangerous as opposed to merely inconvenient for some because of the association with poverty, desperation, and crime. I still remember the term super-predator when it was the hot political term.

Thus any symbol of class will always be a suit of armor for race in the way you describe, including Apple hardware. But the reason why Apple hardware is as much the same armor is because of thoughts around race and its connections to poverty, desperation, and crime.

You can wear Apple watch in and out of the office. But why shouldn't t-shirt be the status quo culture of the office? Because those who are judged by race need extra symbols of wealth to wear so they don't end up wronged? So let us band together and create sufficient distinctions of class so that those who make it out can show how they've made it out? How else do we know the Trayvon Martin from the thug?

A lot of public code not related to their job being produced by the employees of a company suggests that the work there is not interesting enough and challenging enough and deep enough to keep them occupied.
> No one argues that water in the best case should be free and that it’s in the public interest to provide it, but that’s just not realistic in a lot of cases.

I disagree. I don't believe there is a single good reason for why our world has both trillions of dollars of wealth but also people without access to clean drinking water. It's just not right.
Redux adds complexity as well, but I agree that the code looks to be much more repetitive than is necessary. I have never seen multiple calls to setState put one after another like that and it does seem disingenuous to make it look like people write React class components that way.
It's a no-sell because in-person offices are still the main push and people want to be able to enjoy the slick meeting room thing. If remote work was pushed to the fore / was the main effort, I think they'd care less.

Firefox is willing to add specific technical countermeasures to specific domains that are attempting to bypass the tracking policy: "If a party attempts to circumvent the technical solutions we’ve outlined in this policy, we may without notice add additional restrictions to that party to prevent the circumvention."

(Safari, as far as I can tell, tries to avoid having site-specific policies, so maybe the question is "What is Repixel doing that is exploiting a security bug in Safari, and how can Safari fix it?")
I think that line of reasoning is wrong, because it implies that social media has resulted in some kind of "pulling back the curtain". What it's really shown is that, while the media might be able to spin lies people believe, the only thing that kept that power in their hands exclusively was infrastructure. What happens instead when "nobody controls the narrative" is that people go pick their own narrative, and not in a way that's necessarily any closer to the truth.

Maybe you feel great wearing a good tailored suit.

I personally find suits uncomfortable, even when they fit well.

But it doesn't matter. Wear what you want. I've worked at a bunch of places where people would wear suits to work sometimes, despite most of the people wearing jeans and a t-shirt. You'll just have to put up with the occasional "Oh, are you interviewing somewhere today?" jokes.

Intel did not lose their process lead during that period, it was a design problem; NetBurst was a bad idea.
From the wikipedia page [1]:

> The third party should be permitted access only under carefully controlled conditions, as for instance, a court order. Thus far, no system design has been shown to meet this requirement fully on a technical basis alone. All proposed systems also require correct functioning of some social linkage, as for instance the process of request for access, examination of request for 'legitimacy' (as by a court), and granting of access by technical personnel charged with access control.

The social issue is a significant problem. How do you make sure court officials are not bribed? Who has access to the key escrow service, and what sort of checks make them trusted? Employees snoop on things all the time [2, 3, 4]: how are you going to ensure this does not happen with all communications for an individual?

You don't have to use hooks and class declaration syntax is not going away. If you don't like a paradigm, you don't have to use it. I was quite skeptical of hooks at first, but after using them for a bit, they grew on me. It is not as simple as the class-based approach, but I also haven't found it to be a giant mental leap: my "warming up" to hooks took about a week.
I’m genuinely wondering why the fact that the order of hooks needs to stay the same between successive invocations of your function component is considered a bad or confusing thing. The complaint comes up a lot, so I know that it bothers people, but I haven’t been able to understand why.
What you are saying is that since you prefer something everyone should do the same.

And what you prefer is the correct choice for everyone ...
It's easy to forget just how corrupt government and law enforcement can get. In America, try to bribe a police officer and you'll quickly find yourself in jail. Other countries, it's almost expected that you bribe police (and indeed, the true reason you just got pulled over might be to shake you down)
Vanguard has fractional shares because it supports DRIPs. (Robinhood does not support DRIPs.)
He should make this effort a marketplace like zapier but let the finance side come from SAAS that let them offer the opportunity to share revenue through a resellers agreement. For customers in zapiers model this would mean zapier would be for free solong there is a resellers agreement in place. This would decouple the adaptation friction on using the service and for zapier this would bundle every SAAS contract on their infrastructure. Even Google offers resellers of SAAS GSuite a whopping 20% revenue share.
>Why do you bring in the left/right partisan divide into this?

Because the right has been complaining about these specific FBI agents biased conduct in this investigation for years now and trying to turn this into a 'we all know fisa is bad' comes off as epic gaslighting.

>The IG report did not find any evidence of political partisan spying, it only faulted the process of getting the warrant.

This is beyond a white washing. He absolutely found evidence that line agents were biased. He did not find clear 'evidence' that the outcome and leadership was biased. The key part is that confessions and a paper trail were not found to lead him to make that conclusion. He stated he made numerous referrals to the doj/fbi about misconduct. If you actually listen to his hearing statements on the 'evidence' for bias he is walking a fine line.

'we did not have documentary or testimonial evidence that (the mistakes) were intentional, but also make note the lack of satisfactory explanations (for the mistakes), from there i cannot draw any further conclusions' - this is during a line of questions from senator whitehouse, but there are many others like it.
Not really, there's no stable in-kernel driver API/ABI, so unmaintained drivers get broken quickly.
> I work from a shared office space and share a room with people in a variety of industries, and so I get my daily fix of "people" through that.

I did the shared coworking space a lot. People are nice, but it's hard to have calls discussing PII with folks from different companies, even different industries, around. Plus I can't really build any shared commonality with them in a work sense.
...where's the turbo button though?
Gender equality means you can enter into whatever profession you choose and not be discriminated against. It's about equal rights, equal treatment, it does not mean that men and women are the same, it's not a mathematical equality.

Seems to me people are confusing conformity with social/political equality.
I’m thinking more about a battlefield like Afghanistan, where the opponents aren’t firing anything larger than a stinger, and there is already air superiority. As buoyancy is a function of volume, which increases to the third power, and armor just needs to increase proportional to the surface area, which is the second power, a heavily armored floating aircraft carrier seems possible.
Yes, but with high people density, it is much more efficient.
As a man, I'll say I absolutely agree. I went to an all-boys high school, and teenage boys simply do better without girls around. Boys are more likely to engage in not traditionally masculine activities when girls are not around because there is no need to impress. Furthermore, girls often mature faster than boys, and this leads to unnecessary stress for both girls and boys at this stage. Furthermore, a lot of what drives teenage boys is competing against other boys for attention from girls. This dynamic is messed up if there are girls around. This damages girls too. Girls often complain that boys are uninterested in competing with them. This is because beating a girl does nothing for boys. They want to compete with boys. If each gender has their space, they both get to flourish.

I don't think single sex environments harm future gender relations either. If anything, they make it better. Both genders need friends of the same gender uncomplicated by romantic feelings. Furthermore, from my own experience, the boys at my high school, and the girls at our sister school, found no trouble getting married, having kids, etc.

Speaking of our sister school, the women they produced were independent minded, competent, competitive, and had leadership experience. Without the need to compete with boys, the girls developed their own leadership and competitive structures that they excelled at.
I believe the main aim of this project is to accelerate the imaging process itself and not diagnostics.

It's a natural research direction to accelerate imaging; MRI is fundamentally limited in its data acquisition rate. You are essentially giving protons a wack into an excited state and extracting spatial information by listening to how they decay. There is a time constant associated with this decay that just comes from the physics and can't be reduced, and you have to wait for the decay to be more or less complete before you can give another wack and acquire another slice.

MRI already relies on classical compressed sensing to overcome this limitation and make imaging feasible at all, but there is good reason to think that you can do better than classical compressed sensing by making use of prior knowledge of the physics of the imaging process and the structure of natural tissue.

How Hackers Are Breaking into Ring Cameras
The most important thing that matters is ability to earn a decent living. Decent living is essentially ability to afford most things like a property in good neighborhoods, personal identity (clothes), transportation, quality education for children, and safety.

People are really smart and they optimise for their own survival. Essentially - decent wage -> better options for partner -> better standard of living.
In some countries, like Norway, a teacher makes a decent wage. Not as much as a software engineer, but good enough to support a pretty good lifestyle.

Where in some countries, like India, a stem graduate makes a LOT more money than a teacher. I made more money in my third year as a software engineer, than my father who worked in public sector as a civil engineer with 25+ years of experience. Comparison with non technical workers with stem fields is really lop sided when it comes to earning potential. Plus if you are possibly the first generation which can break out of poverty cycle for your entire family, then that adds another layer of pressure to choose certain fields. Hence men or women tend to choose these fields.

As wealth creation in some of these countries reaches to a point where non stem fields receive similar earning potential, already happening in India, we will see lower number of women opting for these fields as well.

We would really like to find a non economic reason for some of these disparities, like patriarchy, gender discrimination and so on, but it is probably mostly economic.
