definition of unemployed: over 16 and have been available to work full-time during the past four weeks. Most importantly, you must have actively looked for work during that same period.

civilian labor force: unemployed plus the employed, no one else. Military personnel, federal government employees, retirees, handicapped or discouraged workers, and agricultural workers are not part of the civilian labor force

Unemployment Rate = Unemployed / Civilian Labor Force.

I homeschooled my son in math and I found he was fascinated by the way repeating decimals formed cycles. I'm sure that this reinforced his skill at long division.

I think may be more fun to do than to watch somebody else do it.

This is how I approach it at work (a non-profit where we deal with sensitive data). Every new employee and volunteer goes through a 30-minute training webinar on security when they start: spotting phishing emails, choosing good passwords, 2FA etc.

At the end, I tell them that if something just feels off, even if they can't figure out why, I'd rather they call or message me on Slack than ignore it. It absolutely never bothers me when they do it - in fact, it makes me feel better. Maybe 1% of reports are actual issues, but I'd rather deal with 99% false positives than miss even one thing.
yeah, right, poor rich man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Ghosn#Arrest_in_Tokyo_a...

> In September, in one of the first legal accords of the saga, Ghosn settled with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over claims of failing to disclose more than $140 million in pay to him from Nissan. He was fined $1 million while Nissan was fined $15 million and Greg Kelly $100,000. He is barred from serving as a director or officer of a public company for ten years and Kelly for five years

Even in the US he was caught.

He used company funds for himself. It's pretty clear. If an average man would have done that he would have been paying it already, but he is a rich man so he could escape.
If you have the means to travel to Israel and neighboring Arab states, or to South Africa and neighboring Sub-Saharan states from Canada, you have the ability to get these passports and you really should know that you should.
You are right, but AFAIK they are running CentOS and Redhat have been back-porting security and fixes to major bugs at least until recently. CentOS 6 is in extended support phase 2 [1] Hopefully they move to CentOS 8 soon. I have no idea how this is implemented or if that parrot module has a flashable firmware. It is interesting that they say there is no support for NX. CentOS 6 which is based on the 2.6 kernel does support it. [2] That is not to say that things were compiled with the right options.

The bigger thieves are the Lebanese politicians who are the ire of the current protests in Lebanon. They have fleeced the country to the tune of billions... Multiples of what Carlos has been accused of.

I told my parents to contact me before responding to any unsolicited email, phone call, or surprise popup no matter how scary any of them may seem.

I started this practice when my stepfather got a fraudulent email pretending to be from me, claiming that I had been arrested in a foreign country and needed him to send a few thousand dollars. He called me, as he was confused about why I left the country without telling anyone, and I straightened him out.
I wonder if there's a way to find out which kernel version Parrot runs today.

It’s more likely that the “because” has to do with people claiming asylum.

If you don’t require transit visas it becomes fairly trivial to get into the US and claim asylum while supposedly in transit to somewhere else.
> As an example of undermining and disregarding rule of law, in the US no party has respected surveillance laws as far as 2001 and likely further back. As an example from here in Sweden, government officials regularly undermine and disregard the law in regard to how open contracts between government and companies. As a global example, we saw on Wikileaks how almost all countries classified information in order to hide political embarrassing facts from going public. All this is authoritarian behavior with varied degree of harm, and the laws they undermine or breaks are laws that got written in order to restrict authoritarian rule.

This so succinctly sums up my frustrations with what I view as the erosion of democracy as we know it the world over. The controls established to limit the awesome power of the state are being subordinated by the state itself, and in secret. The asymmetry makes it hard for the citizenry to do anything about it, even when it happens in the open.

Thinking more about it, the power of the people is only able to be exercised collectively, that is we require coordination in order to effect change. On the other hand, actors in government have figured out how to wield their powers unilaterally (in the US at least). This makes it much harder for the collective to effect change that restricts the actions of the individual actors, as the change is hard to make (collective action is hard) and easily undone later on.
I was going to make a quip about how you would probably fare worse in China, but at least according to Wikipedia, the penalty is 10-15 days [0]. On the other hand, legalization is probably imminent in the US. The same is not true of China.

Getting denied boarding because I am a citizen.

By lineage, I’m a citizen of an EU country.

And the EU is launching a “not a visa but sounds a lot like a visa” travel authorization program for visa exempt passengers.

Q1 will probably be: are you a citizen of any of these EU countries?

Legally, I’ll be obligated to trace all this lineage back, through countries that no longer exist and get a lot of paperwork.

Presumably I can’t renounce said citizenship until I prove that I have it first...

Seems like Google needs an executive leadership team where these types of questions are addressed and decisions are made. A human rights board sounds like a good idea to me but I can see why a company would not pursue one. We largely expect the US government to take the lead with respect to human rights. Not saying that I agree or disagree with that but it is how many businesses operate.

Googlers who disagree could voice to the ELT and then make decisions on their own if the ELT disagrees if they want to stay, leave or what not. They could unionize too and use the power of collective bargaining. It seems like the cafeteria workers figured out how to do it.

Yes, I tried to look for materials. I have an MSc in physics. I know what science is supposed to look like and what crackpot stuff looks like. Electric Universe is solidly in the crackpot section. I can expand on this if you like but the "qualitative explanation for humans" would be quite long and not really fit for a short post on this medium.
Most car manufacturers are reactive, like the Jeep hack a few years ago. Cyber Security should be on the forefront of their radar, but takes a back seat. So having outdated software is not that big of a surprise. I have a 3 year old phone that functions fine, but i might need to get a new one since it is full of security holes and no updates.

I find myself conflicted since i love the technology behind the new cars, but my paranoia about the lack of security and the inability of myself to do anything about it.

If only they had cameras in the cars so while they are applying the brakes when you are on the interstate they can collect that classic picture of horror on your face....
NATS is a simpler PUB/SUB system that delivers in the UNIX spirit of small composable parts. Apache Pulsar or Apache Kafka deliver the banana, the ape holding it and the rest of the jungle.
> Excluding, the Murdoch empire including Fox News, the entire RW media ecosystem,'access journalism' as practiced by such as the NYT, and the general false equivalence presumption of most large media outlets. Denying that there is any RW power in the media is a strawman argument at best.

Those are the exceptions to the rule, and they're also blatant extremist outlets. The right has a handful of outlets that almost read as parodies of new outlets, and the left entails nearly everything else, including nearly all media outside of the news. The lack of news outlets is not something I would "blame" the left for though, it's more a failure of the right, but it is reality. Casual media, which drives culture in a huge way, is entirely dominated by the left.

> In Academia? Seems to overlook the fact that when given sufficient thought, many RW concepts are justifications for policies that do not hold up to data-backed studies..., are simply outright denial of science..., or are straight-up anti-intellectualism used to support popular movements. Combine these trends, and there is sound reason to consider that academia being more liberal is not some crass bias, but based on well-founded reasons.

The meme that "reality has a liberal bias" is one of the things the left should be laughed at for pushing. The left is just as anti-science and anti-intellectual when it comes to pushing their agenda as the right (which is hugely anti-science, not contesting that). You need to go no further than biology to find well founded facts the left just outright ignores. These narratives are equally used to push (often violent and anti-democratic) popular movements.

Neither side of the aisle holds the high ground when it comes to holding true to science and research when they come up against narratives and agendas. If you believe your side does it's probably because you are in an echo chamber.

> But you don't get to call someone out for being prejudiced when they are literally following the advice given to them by specialists who are trying to promote diversity and inclusion.

"Just following orders" does not absolve one of responsibility.

If I "listen" to the advice of a specialist to call an African American the n-word, and then I scream the n-word repeatedly in front of others, then those people have the right to call me prejudiced. The onus is on me to prove my lack of prejudice, not on my accusers. The alternative is enabling racial supremacists to hurl vitriol so long as they "do a bit of Googling" and supply a PDF that says "expert says epithets are ok!"

Do you know the difference between authority and morality?
Technically yes but not practically because the temperature differential is what is needed and well as considerable logistical and engineering issues of making something which uses it large enough to deal with a moving and raging fire - let alone not interfering with fightint efforts or being accused of arson to not pay for fuel.

In my experience, autistics are very empathic. Sometimes in different ways than neurotypicals, and how it's displayed might be different as well.

Googling something like "quora autistic empathy" will give you plenty of informed posts about the subject. I recommend reading the ones written by actual autistics.

In Japan, confessions are intended to work as you suggest:

>Article 38 of Japan's Constitution categorically requires that "no person shall be convicted or punished in cases where the only proof against a suspect is his/her own confession," In practice, this constitutional requirement takes a form of safeguarding known as the "revelation of secret" (Himitsu no Bakuro, lit. "outing of secret")...

>...for confession to be a valid evidence for conviction, the Japanese court requires confession to include revelation of verifiable factual matter that only the perpetrator of the crime could have known about, such as the location of an undiscovered body or the time and place the murder weapon was purchased, a fact about the crime scene, etc. Furthermore, to safeguard against the possibility that the interrogator has implanted such knowledge into the confession, the prosecutor must prove that such revelation of secret was unknown to the police until the point of confession.

Comparing a population of ~329M to a city of 1M seems a bit silly. Scale that and you get 121 deaths / million. That's unfair the other way as we're comparing conditions a large city rural areas of the US as well, but since we began with a silly comparison I'm not sure how we fix it without starting over.

In Austin TX, population ~1M, we had 74 vehicle related fatalities in 2018.
How would you express that thought, to get through to a person I replied to who wrote he has 15 years of experience and he did not see any value in standups?

Do you think he is not a senior person? Is he a bad person for pointing out his years of experience? Maybe I am bad person trying to express in BOLD that there are people with less experience, social anxiety, assholes and we have to work with all those personalities. With strong emphasis that standups are good tool for getting rid of toxic work environment and getting teams together.
