Eh, just talk to him?
Don't erode on his privacy. I feel that is pretty anti-HN to install backdoors and tracking an adult.

You own the house, make it clear you don't want this on your network. Other than, open up to therapy if what you find is truly too far off and you think he is not good from a mental health standpoint.

Remember, your role is to help him. Not punish him or make him feel like a criminal. Connections are hard to make without being honest or upfront about the problem, it's going to take effort. Don't take the easy way out by avoiding to talk. If you damage the trust by snooping in or secretly doing something, then he is just going to feel more alienated.

> The demand is so high he just rejects work.

I think as we advance in the information age, maybe degrees are less about helping you actually get the job done, and more about serving as a mean for companies (and countries) to roughly filter high surplus of candidates. Add the fact its easier today to apply for job posts, its very hard for recruiters to filter intelligently at reasonable time.
My guess is if everyone would have first degree, the recruiters will require a second degree.

This has less weight on jobs short in candidates (i.e specialized nurse, plumber, welder, proven AI expert, or whatever is hot right now).
Can someone tell me what the phrase "fixer-upper" comes from?

I'm just working through the math in the paper right now. To me, it looks like all of the formulas could be expressed in a probabilistic PL and MCMC could be used to estimate the probabilities of both latent state and parameters. Would there be some particular roadblocks to this approach?
Can someone explain what's going on with that project?

There's is a conspiracy, just like there's a conspiracy regarding global warming. In both cases academics use science and math to advocate for, in an unfortunately obtuse manner, policies that are politically infeasible if taken at face value. And academics being academics, they won't get behind watered-down, compromise measures as that would seem like capitulation on the truth of the matter. While none of this is secret, these groups definitely do plot, both formally and informally.

Also, the anti-vaccine movement seems more leftish than rightish as it seems to correlate with higher incomes and education (paradoxically), and over the past several decades higher income and college educated brackets have strongly shifted Democratic.
Probably the same thing that happened, and mostly in the same frequency as happened, 6 months ago. This article highlights the shittiness of Sonos's "implementation" of a recycle program, not the customer's experience or results (discounted purchases of new products) of initiating the program.
Man, I feel like the Linux world is moving to systemd but this whole process has been like pulling teeth. I'm totally unaffected by this but even I'm feeling worn out on it. Feels like brexit, honestly -- nobody's enthusiastic about either systemd or sysv init, ok, fine, its happening but... ugh.

I have to say I'm shocked to hear that Pininfarina could have designed something so ungainly, dull, and almost ugly.

I wonder what happened.
I can't think of anything less controversial in international main-stream politics than copyright. Pretty much every country in the world has signed up to at least the Berne Convention, even certain so-called rogue states. When was the last time any country reduced the length of its copyright terms? Are there any large political parties, anywhere, that even advocate it?

Countries step out of other treaties occasionally, even major things like the EU, climate change and weapons limitation, but copyright is sacred.

I suspect that some form of state secret law is also found in practically every country, and any political controversy is only in the details of how its used and misused, not in the concept.
Sounds like they already have, with their response being "Nothing we can do, so sad. You'll need to buy a new set of gear".

Most people in the military are not in combat positions. Only 1% of their forces are combat and out of those only 10% actually see combat. That being said, the lack of age gate for the military should spark discussion about increasing the age of enlistment rather than justification for lowering the age people can buy cigarettes.
understanding the world is a full time job. not saying the current crop of politicians are doing a great job of it, but the chances for Joe Random to understand the ramifications of his voting in direct democracy are slim

Moreover the risk of unmitigated populism storming the masses into voting some real shit is ever present; while a populist leader still have to work within the framework of the houses it would be extremely easy to con the people into, say, voting xenophobic measures during circumscribed but substantial crisis like the Syrian war.

"Rent control, no other changes" doesn't just disincentivize people from moving to your city, it disincentivizes movement altogether.

I see rent control as a fix for a symptom. Answering the question about the ideal living condition for a city and how to grow successful, long lasting sustainable, healthy cities is the real issue. Rent control is a bandage, and the collection of rent adjustment policies is not as elegant as just a strong set of policies to promote healthy cities.

Admittedly this is really, really idealistic, it ignores the fact that we have a lot of cities that need help right now, and it assumes that there is a standardized way to build great cities.
You are strawmanning.

1) Does Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" advocate a conspiracy? Quoting it Wikipedia entry:

"The book's central thesis is that when the rate of return on capital (r) is greater than the rate of economic growth (g) over the long term, the result is concentration of wealth, and this unequal distribution of wealth causes social and economic instability."

That is, there's no need for a conspiracy to get the results we see, and leftists like me don't need to appeal to conspiracy theories.

2) You mention "believing that free markets are better for public". But what's pushed isn't a "free market" - what's pushed is a lack of constraints on those who control capital. Few who push for a free market also push for loosening constraints on labor.

Taft-Hartley should be seen as offensive to a real free market. So-called "free market" advocates protest minimum wage laws, but omit mentioning that labor power, when not hobbled by restrictive US laws, would be the free market solution.

As an example, the Nordic countries don't have minimum wage laws. Instead, minimum wages for a field are set by collective bargaining, which is possible because of stronger labor unions in those countries.

As you can see, I don't believe that "price controls like minimum wage" are the right solution to that problem.
WhatsApp is as effectively free as it can be within the segment of the population that needs or wants it.

This is like arguing that free Wi-Fi isn't "free" because some people only use ethernet. If you don't already own a compatible device, you aren't their customer anyway.
I don't think that's being emotional at all.

I'm being emotional when I say I have a soft spot for it because of some nostalgia and occasionally dropping in to do some "rock star" programming moments with it. But that's the opposite of what I'd want if/when I was running my own ship.

I too almost always try to steer myself and others away from it now because of the licensing/customer hostility. It's absolutely ridiculous...

Zuckerberg and Gates would have been elite if they’d never worked a day in their lives.

Perhaps it's just me, but in the Zuckerberg case specifically, I'd think quite a bit of luck and timing had to do with it. If Zuckerberg had been born 10 years later after the obvious social network ideas were already created? Or if he had gone to a no-name college (or none whatsoever) and Facebook had never taken off the way it did at Harvard?

Or maybe you meant they were born elite, in which case, I don't know anything about that.
I've read that article before and really enjoyed it. I don't know if it answers the question, though. So, if I want to message someone I use Signal, if I want to send someone a file I use Wormhole, if I want to sign something I use Minisign, if I want backups I use tarsnap. Is this for "if someone compromises this machine there's still something else they need to do to access this file?"

Very true. But for every Cleveland Clinic there are a hundred other midwestern cities that lack a similar tier institution, but you might have three similar institutions to CC in NYC or on the west coast to choose from. Having to drive over an hour to see your specialist while you are senile is not ideal, but is a reality for a lot of people in the midwest by virtue of the sprawl and low density of services.
They are changing a core component of a piece of infrastructure used by a large a diverse set of people for a (relatively) diverse set of usecases; and said infrastructure has central governing body; while many of the big players have a public decision making process.

Sure, bazaars are nice, but times like this really make me appreciate cathedrals.
If you're not a party to a conversation, then one-party rules don't apply. I.e., in one-party States you can record any conversation to which you are a party, but you can't eavesdrop on conversations that you're NOT a party to.

This means you can't leave a microphone at a bus stop to record random conversations, say, not without a) owning the bus stop, and b) loudly announcing the presence of the microphone to all users of said bus stop. Replace "bus stop" with any public space. This also applies to private spaces as well, even when you're the owner. Thus you can have video surveillance at any office, but audio surveillance is generally a big no-no.
JBL Pro 305's:

I had the 305's one generation before (mk 1, vs mk 2) and they're the best sounding speakers I've yet owned.

Only had two of them (stereo, front left and right), with an old logitech 5.1 system making up the rest of a 7.1 system. Over time I was intending on replacing those logitech speakers with further 305's. :)
I have heard this described as “quantitative easing” for story points, and yes, hilarious.
MMU operations are a lot more expensive now than they once were.

In particular, one of the most expensive things about mmap today is actually munmap, that trashes the translation lookaside buffer ("TLB"), the cache of memory map lookups, on all the other cores that run threads in the same process. When you had only the one core, that didn't need to happen.

NetBSD used to have "UVM", where they played memory mapping tricks to get "zero-copy" networking. They had to give it up when they went to multiple cores.

Find a co-working space near you. I'm currently working two days a week at a local shared office and rent my own desk.

There's about eight desks in our room, and during the day, aout 4-5 are in use. It helps me a great deal to go out in the morning, go to my office, and have the luxury of a good desk with a big monitor, an atmosphere that encourages working and sometimes a little chat at the coffee machine.
GP refers to zero-party recording. I would be surprised if surreptitious (i.e., not announced) audio recording by non-parties were legal anywhere at all in the U.S.
The dumbest thing is that if I can sell my old Sonos rather than trash them in recycle mode then I am more likely to upgrade sooner since the sale of my used hardware can also help subsidize the upgrade regardless of whether Sonos offers me credit or not. And now Sonos has an additional user of their product (which in turn markets the product and is likely to build loyalty assuming the product isn’t shit) and a new hardware sale. I am willing to bet Sonos needs both growth of their user base and needs to demonstrate that some core percentage of their customers regularly upgrade on a ~5yr purchase cycle. And it doesn’t actually cost Sonos anything (relative to the BOM for a device) to handle the compute for the extra user so it’s not like the person upgrading is making off with anything of additional value to Sonos. So take the environmental concerns out of the picture: this is just short sighted nooby business.

This smells like some program cooked up by a hot shot MBA type that the executive team trusts to tweak the business because they don’t shut up about needing to focus on type of numbers investors care about. Never mind they don’t know the first thing about building a decent product. And to make it worse they’re probably actually convinced they’re helping the environment.
Of course there are institutions in the midwest. Some of the best universities are in the midwest. But practically if you lived in, say Lodi, it would take you over an hour to drive to the cleveland clinic main campus to see a specialist. That might be fine while you are 35 but untenable when you are 85.

The services are there but the density is low and the sprawl is wide in the midwest, and your only option is the car or to be entirely dependent on a relative to shuttle you to your appointments as public transit is anemic to non existent outside of chicago.

The functionality should either be built into the OS, or into Photoshop. Photoshop should support decryption of the file on the fly. It should best be paired with a "private" mode where it stores nothing about your activities (most programs store some artifacts of your behaviour e.g. vlc stores last opened files or kate stores which line you last edited or something like that).
Unfortunately not. With SAS I never used books and relied solely on having access to the fully licensed system at a previous job and all of the SAS PDFs floating around the internet and findable with specific searches.

That combined with a general computer science background and you can start to put the whole thing together.
