This is unconstitutional way of limiting movement, even by Japanese Constitution which is lax, and not allowed by statute for police operations.

Restraining movement does not require enclosure or other technical means, yet is still illegal. Police can literally stop you for a few reasons and no more.

If you literally tell the police to move away because they're illegally preventing you from moving in clear terms, if they hit you while you push through they're committing assault. Treat it like any other police brutality in court.

The first thing you have to do in this abuse of power situation is to get evidence, and by stupid Japanese law you're not allowed to take photographs of policemen I think, so get something else, like sound recording.

Suing them would be a fun pastime for someone rich, and a way to get the prosecutor to throw the case.

Of course of they really want you for something illegal, they will get you in some other way.
Hi there - I run product for dbt - happy to chat more about Oracle support if you're interested. There are a handful of community-supported dbt plugins out in the wild. Oracle could very well be one of the next ones. Check some of these out to see what's involved in building a database plugin:

Yeah I do have a domain I could use for a WordPress site potentially
For privacy, I use first-party isolation. The effect is that all domains get their own container. In day-to-day use I haven't seen any sites that don't work with it enabled.

News Flash:

- Rich person muses about things they want

- Some number of people, reading of said musings assume it is a viable business because "PG wants this..."

- Someone rushes it to market

- Turns out the rich guy wanted something that is largely already available (if not exactly to "spec") in a myriad of offerings from a companies large and small

- Rich guy goes on, unconcerned that his whims just wasted several hours of several people's lives

- Several people who did not ship this "solution" watch, waiting for the next kernel of greatness the rich guy will drop for the peasants race towards

note:

- I don't know PG

- I don't know (many) Rich Guys

- I do understand why people hang on the words of people like PG and Musk, it's just not something that I do myself

- I have nothing but admiration for someone who can hear a suggestion and execute on it with any degree of precision and quality this is not a skill I possess
The tactic that worked for me was to bring it up to my boss. I set up a 1:1 with him, and said "In 2-3 years, I want your job. How can I get there?" (and "want your job" obviously means "to do what you do" not literally take their job)

If you have a good manager, they'll set you up for success, working with you to create a roadmap to get from IC to Manager. The steps in between would probably entail taking on larger projects, mentoring others, leading a project with multiple developers on it, and then after demonstrating all of that, you get the promotion.

In my experience, you get the promotion when you're already doing the job. In other words, you do the work and the promotion is recognition of the work you're already doing.

The other thing I'd say is that you don't get what you don't ask for. If you want to be a manager, ask for it. If you want more responsibility, ask for it. If you want better compensation or a new title, ask for it.

Unless you have a FANTASTIC manager, you will never just magically be recognized for your work. They will assume you're happy doing what you're doing and focus on greasing the squeaky wheel. To further your career, you should be a little squeaky. Ask for what you want. If you can't get it now, ask for help getting to that point.

I, as a manager, really appreciate it when someone gives me direction on what they want. Otherwise, I have to guess or try to pull it out of them, and I feel like I'm pulling teeth. It's hugely beneficial for a manager to have proactive direct reports. Be that person.

Good luck.
Updated 5G Hype vs. Reality
> It's easy to get the basics shell up and running but the details can increase the time and cost more than you expected in the beginning.

Yes, and I think this is particularly true in the real estate world. It's ripe for disruption in many ways, but there also seem to be a lot of domain- and region-specific issues to work through.

I am not too familiar with the real estate world, I've just been through the process of buying and selling a home a couple times, and I've read a few articles about the role of realtors and realty software in the process.
Then I'm not sure I understand you. The proposal is clearly proposing new fields that are less susceptible to abuse (whether intentional or not). Your idea of parsing a "$BROWSER $VERSION $OS" string seems inferior to client hints that use structured headers.
Meanwhile, Google is forcing this massive change across the web right now by defaulting cookies to SameSite=Lax, something that breaks a lot of login scenarios. The only way to fix it is to start emitting SameSite=None. BUT WAIT, a lot of fairly recent browsers (e.g., iOS < 13, Chrome 51-66) don't support it, so you actually need to do this crazy user agent sniffing to not break things: https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site/incompatible-clie....

I find it ridiculous that one part of Chrome is forcing me to add user agent sniffing while another part is trying to deprecate it. They need to get their act together: their decisions have massive consequences across the ecosystem and they need to be more responsible.
Oh, yup, I see that now. That was the next point after the headers one in the spec.
> nominally has a meaning of merely being aware of, and responding to, the environment, but this is not the self-aware consciousness that is currently unexplained

By this do you mean we've explained how "what is it like to be a bat?" works? (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_It_Like_to_Be_a_Bat%3F)

If so, can you point me toward that explanation?
On the other hand, an effective leader can

- usually tackle bigger problems/projects than they could ever address as an IC

- make sure their team isn't wasting time on the wrong things

- accelerate the development of inexperienced team members

- make sure that the team is more than the sum of it's parts; hopefully very much more

- avoid getting bogged down on technical details that will not be relevant for long. Some of the skills you had that will atrophy aren't very impactful, just necessary at the moment.

Some people will find those things rewarding, and may not find your 1000x factor at all realistic.
I would argue that religious experience is really an exploration into consciousness framed imperfectly in religious terms.

My personal approach to 5G security is simpler. This is easy for me, as 5G doesn't bring anything I want to the table -- but it may not be so easy for others, so I'm not actually recommending it across the board.

I won't be adopting 5G at all until I absolutely have no other choice. Hopefully, enough years will have passed by that time that we'll have a better handle on what the security risks are and how to mitigate them.
The very hungry caterpillar is timeless and I shall hear nothing bad said about it! :)
Hm, how should this work? If I'd ask you, 'How many direct reports do you have', what would you say? You need to use the term 'direct report' again.

If you fuzzed around with 'my team' while I try to understand you team structure, your direct report count, their profile, which and how many reports they again have, you'd drive me nuts with a fake 'my team' humbleness.

Using the term 'report' is absolutely ok, you shouldn't talk all day long of your reports of course or trying to impressive anyone.
I think I disagree with that. The labor pool isn't unlimited and there's laws in place to protect workers. Reading this article as someone that's worked in banking it seems unfair to treat this company a different way that all others. We all still go to banks despite the horrible ways they treat their workers.

Ruling by mob means the treatment is unfair across companies. I think people should argue for laws that are broadly applicable when the market fail. And in this case I think the market (even like glassdoor, reviews, etc) would tank the company's ability to hire it it was not a place people wanted to work.
Thanks for the advice about blogger vs WordPress, I was considering blogger for a while but guess I'll pass over that one

There are problems and problems. I think the reader needs to adapt to their reality when reading the blogspot. Sometimes the reader needs to do some work and contextualize a piece of advice. I think the blogpost made total sense to me, in the context of my work. There is a (not-so-fine) line between embarking into a intractable or incredibly risky task and a hard problem that nobody wanted to do solve. Keep in mind that a hard problem is not necessarily what you find hard but what your colleagues find hard, that is the point. Go after something that you know can be done but nobody has ventured into. I enjoy a great amount of freedom at work because I've been tackling these hard issues. You see, when you address an elephant in the room, even after being solved, people will not venture to go there and they are happy to leave you alone since you are working on the elephant in the room.
What would happen if, for example, all advertising was made illegal globally?

That was specifically a key escrow-style system, so you're right there. Lotus Notes wanted to provide strong encryption abroad, in the bad old days of ITAR. they used a hybrid of an exportable-sized key (~50 bit encryption) and a stronger, backdoored key (MiniTruth.)

They were very public about it, though. It sucked they had to water down their encryption, but that was the reality until PGP challenged ITAR head-on.

Cloning scientist gets 12-year prison sentence
It doesn't really address why one plugs it in wrong more than 50% of the time. John Siracusa had a great analysis on this on the ATP podcast a few months ago: Even if you have it in the correct orientation the first try, it inevitably catches a bit and you think you've done it wrong. You don't want to break anything, so you flip it to try the other way. That is now the wrong way and won't fit at all. So you flip it again and it goes in. So, 3 tries if you had it right the first time, 2 tries if you had it wrong the first time.
I’d rather each bank purchases an API provider who has the appropriate security certifications to integrate with the bank’s backoffice systems, than have each bank attempt to implement OAuth themselves and fail in all the usual catastrophic ways. Their specialty is banking, not OAuth, and they already pay vendors for many other services that aren’t their specialty.

This also hints that a not-Visa competitor will appear in the credit union space, since credit unions often have a shared provider for banking websites (and bill pay, and etc.) and would presumably set up their own competitive API provider on top of that.
Are you talking about mobile ? Sure there are less pixels but the size if my phone (i.e. the size of my pocket) is between 15 (laptop) and 25 times (desktop screen) smaller in area. My pocket will be smaller than my arms or my desk. So a different site presentation will be in order.
Right on. I'm 71, self-employed, successfully evaded management, have coded all my life and would never have done otherwise.

There definitely needs to be infrastructure changes to catch up with the new technology, but as you've highlighted we've allocated valuable space to car parking spots instead of bike/scooters. For dense urban areas it probably makes more sense to allocate multiple parking spots per block as "dockless" parking than it does to have it taken up by a couple of cars
That's reductio ad absurdum if I've ever heard it. People often follow behavioral patterns, or respond somewhat predictably to various events. That is all.
Also true of the people you choose to associate with outside of work. But it shows up in character, not in money or work impact.

> If I walk on snow, does it experience deformation, or does it just deform?

For me, some of the "making sense" about a position like this is in terms of such dichotomies. The important part is that this description applies equally to all members of the continuum, e.g., "if 'I' like a song, am 'I' experiencing happiness or is 'my' electrochemical clump of 'me' just reacting?"
What I think can happen is cities taking over and designate good amount of space for parking these things everywhere. And commission the scooters as a form of public transportation. I don’t see private enterprise ever making a profit here
> sort of objects are ranges? In Python they would be iterators, and that works out fine. In Haskell they would be lists.

In Haskell they are lazy linked lists! Which in theory is more efficient than vectors (in terms of space).

This comparison always gets made, but at least car parking is done is officially sanctioned places, as opposed to dockerless bikes where they're dumped wherever.

Ha, much more likely is that in your dream the person was nonspecific, and when you woke up your brain "altered" the memory to be about the person who texted you.

There is well documented evidence that human memory is extremely suggestible, and I think that is a far more likely explanation than... information time travel.
I don't see much discipline, good hiring practice, or clear goals in history. Why would it suddenly help now?
Nothing that Common Lisp or Smalltalk aren't capable of doing as well, and they have quite capable JITs.

Is it possible for you to switch your license to something more like MIT or BSD?

> And their ads generally relate, in some way, to the demographics who read the publications. There's no reason that approach can't also work on the web.

That's how it USED to work on the web and still does in some parts. Until Google (and others) started selling increasingly accurate demographic and behavioural targeting. Now advertisers are addicted to targeting 50+ females who like baking, cats, have at least one grandchild and who have recently shown an interest in Easy Bake Ovens.
Taken in the context of Uber, Lyft and Lime scaling back their markets due to low demand, it's becoming pretty obvious that the market for this is a lot harder and smaller than originally thought.
The author seems to only look at a narrow case that supports his argument. Imagine you start out with 2 shapes and 4 directions, but you eventually get additional requirements for 20 more shapes and 4 more directions. Now you have much more code, introducing room for errors, making it harder to change, and making it harder for new employees to understand.

I agree that he should have told his coworker ahead of time, but I also think his coworker should be open to understanding why his code may cause problems and be ok with it being changed.
So how exactly is using the WSL using Linux more effectively ?

Is that not the same as claiming that : Using Wine so I can use Windows more effectively ?

I'm really not sure from your article what you were missing, on either Windows/Linux side.. You didnt mention any Windows/Linux specifics, just that you tried the WSL and it worked. Which is cool..

But if you're just worried about using linux more effectively.. Just use linux ?
I found it quite confusing. Some sites wouldn't be opened in the right container, probably because of some domain shenanigans.

Cities Where H-1B Salaries, Filings Are Highest
Exactly. People love to bitch about Excel but any other product I've tried fails miserably handling the many large files we have at work. I'm talking "epic failure" level performance from any other product I've tried. Most either can't even open the files or outright crash at some point along the way.

Excel is also extremely powerful and, in my opinion, pretty fast when you consider it's basically an extremely advanced REPL software that also checks cell dependencies and evaluates/updates on the fly. Not to mention extended functionality through scripting (VBA).

The theory doesn't purport to explain internal models nor awareness in any sense that we're used to it. That is a separate question. If you are looking for those answers, they will be found in how the machination of "conscious" behavior accumulates sufficient complexity to look like directed actions from the outside.
Same here. I have a work GitHub account, and a personal GitHub account, and am signed into each in a different container. Saves constant logging out and in, or using different browsers for each.
Most of these colleges that are closing or merging are small private liberal arts schools, many have a religious affiliation. The main problem is not cost per say (as the article points out some of these schools are only $12,000/year), it's that many of these schools have not updated their curricula for decades. The degrees from these institutions offers little in the way of preparation for a 21st century career that could justify even their modest cost. There are plenty of small schools in the Northeast that are thriving, schools that have changed with the times that offer competitive programs in technology, science, medicine, business, politics, law etc.

CVE-2020-0601 – Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing Vulnerability
At that point though, I think it makes more sense for the city to operate them as part of a larger urban planning initiative rather than offer it as a subsidy to scooter companies. There's also no guarantee that people riding the scooters will be aware of or use dedicated dockless scooter/bike parking, hence the docks make the most sense for cities looking to optimize space usage.
