> In law, some firms have been experimenting with a blurring of the boundaries between associate and partner, so that there's a middle level at which women can enter into motherhood without tanking their career chances.

Of counsel[1] isn’t an intermediate rank, it’s a recognition that you’re almost certain never to make partner but that you’re capable of working with close to zero supervision. Non-equity partners[2] are closer, given that in some firms at least they get both a voice and a vote on firm wide decisions.

In academia the equivalent to Of Counsel is probably either a post doc or a Visiting Assistant Professor, both of which are contingent positions, like being Of Counsel. The closest to non equity partner is tenure track teaching faculty, often called lecturers in the US, or maybe staff scientist, which is more or less being a post doc with job security.

These positions already exist but post docs, adjunct faculty and grad students are cheaper, so they’re comparatively rare.

In law firms, partners are primarily those senior lawyers who are responsible for generating the firm's revenue. The standards for equity partnership vary from firm to firm. Many law firms have a "two-tiered" partnership structure, in which some partners are designated as "salaried partners" or "non-equity" partners, and are allowed to use the "partner" title but do not share in profits. This position is often given to lawyers on track to become equity partners so that they can more easily generate business; it is typically a "probationary" status for associates (or former equity partners, who do not generate enough revenue to maintain equity partner status). The distinction between equity and non-equity partners is often internal to the firm and not disclosed to clients, although a typical equity partner could be compensated three times as much as a non-equity partner billing at the same hourly rate.

Personally, I've seen a number of individuals (mostly Zoomers) upset by the void of purpose left by the deliberate aimlessness of postmodernist thinking turning to religion for answers. They can't articulate it like that, but they have consistent things they mention that led them to this, "I've been told my whole life to do what I want and I don't even know what I should want, let alone what I do want." "I feel like I've lived my life just laying around doing nothing, and now I feel like I suddenly woke up from a long sleep." Outcry against cancel culture has similar subtext to it.
Kean represents the ‘progressive’ side of the center right NSW State government.
The big problem is with the Federal Government. Even though Kean is from the same party as the federal govt, at the federal level the party has been taken over by highly conservative elements - the progressives are basically absent at the federal level.

This whole disaster is provoking a bit of an existential crisis for them
>That’s correct, we should ban the ability to profit from selling harmful products.

Can't tell of this is actually serious or not. There are so many products that can cause harm you might as well just make a whitelist of allowed products at that point.

>You are supposing that prohibition won’t work. But it is the easiest and cheapest approach.

Yet it's never worked and always just created dangerous unregulated black markets that causes more deaths and health issues than regulation and as far as cheapest, I think you're forgetting the cost of enforcement of prohibition.
Here's the thing, you can have journalists trying their best to stay in the middle and do good reporting and yet, a handful of corporate executives can completely shape the narrative of the day and choose to run one story over another, or one headline over another, and the journalists on the ground are powerless to do anything about it.

Only partially. Vendors will buy more to replace sold stock. If it never sells, the manufacturer will never get another order for production, and the total waste is capped at what's already been created.
Yes, and the most direct way you can hold a vendor accountable is to stop giving them your business.

If there are other legal, political, or regulatory avenues you wish to pursue, that's not mutually exclusive to taking your personal dollars elsewhere in the meantime.
How do you figure the latter? Redirecting resources elsewhere?

The whole idea of grey market products is shady to begin with. If the genuine product is available for sale elsewhere for less, I as a consumer should be able to purchase it at that discounted price. If Amazon is strong-arming manufacturers by sourcing genuine grey market products, that's a good thing for consumers and we should support Amazon. If Amazon is strong-arming manufacturers by sourcing counterfeit products, that's bad for consumers and we should not support Amazon.
1. The response isn't really relevant, because I was pointing out an argumentative mistake in my parent comment. They said, "if we don't do X the Chinese will"; I was not making a point about the relative positives / negatives of doing X.

2. I'd go with #2.

3. Even if #1 is right, jumping to the conclusion that Musk's project is a good idea is a complete non-sequitur. As far as I know, no one has argued that putting 10000 satellites into space is the only way to provide widely available cheaper internet. As you can see from discussions elsewhere in the thread, it's not likely to even do that. Will SpaceX provide service to China?
Well-stated.
I have a UniFi EdgeRouter-X and two UniFi APs. I'm happy with the APs satisfied with the ER-X. Once nice feature on the ER-X is their Smart QoS; you specify your broadband UL/DL rate and the router does a good job of preventing single devices from monopolizing your pipe.

I've been looking into replacing my router with something that can host a VPN that I can connect to on the go. I don't think the ER-X can fully utilize my broadband with L2TP/IPsec or OpenVPN so I'm looking for something that can run Wireguard.

Right now I'm eyeing a PC Engine APU2 [0] running OpenWRT. I think it's powerful enough to meet my needs and would also function as a pi-hole. This setup will require more setup than the ER-X but it also is more customizable.

My UniFi APs are upstairs and downstairs. Since my place isn't wired I am using some MoCA devices [1] over coax to get everything connected.

>> However, the power supply uses a more complicated design to provide electrical isolation between the spacecraft and the clock. I'm not sure, though, why isolation was necessary.

Because soviet spacecraft, as with all spacecraft at that time, were designed to survive all sorts of failures. The clock is an absolutely essential part of the spacecraft. It needs to keep running even when everything else is failing, especially when everything else is failing. A space clock needs to be both integrated into a dozen other systems, and able to cut itself from those systems when necessary. Cosmonauts in a failing capsule, waiting to fire the return burn necessary to get home, won't be looking out the window. They will be looking at that clock.
Yeah, that first list is just kind of a quick overview of the location, and then you get more detail when you click into it (as you found).

We worked with Andreas, the Pintips developer, on developing the Open Pinball Database (https://opdb.org/). The games on pintips and on pinball map both share an OPDB ID. On his other app - https://matchplay.events/ - you can automatically populate your tournament with the machines listed at that location on pinball map.
At those prices one is better off just buying a trailer and keeping it.
I am sympathetic to the plight these people are in and truly believe the only reason I'm in a house and not in one of these camps is that I somehow avoided the misfortune that has befallen these individuals. A lot of those who find themselves homeless are only there due to a precipitating crisis that they were unable to get out from under. That being said, they do not belong on the only east-west connecting bike path between two towns, where the only other alternative for cycling is to be on the shoulder of roads that are 35-55 MPH. They shouldn't be using open fires to heat tents.

Ever since the Boise ruling cities have been aware that they cannot arrest homeless individuals for camping on public land if there are not enough shelter beds for them within the municipality. The failure of the county to act on this in a timely manner is the big problem here; this camp existed in a smaller capacity in previous years and it should have never formed a second time. They should have made funds available proactively to have the temporary housing they are putting up available before the rain season began in November. Santa Rosa and the county waste time fighting over who is responsible for the camp, as its county own land within the Santa Rosa city limits.

I'm sure I'll get some hate for this but we need to cut our losses with the SMART train and not extend the $0.0025 sales tax in march. SMART is up and running and should now be able to operate on their own revenue. They should cancel any plans to extend further north the Windsor, Healdsburg, and Cloverdale as this expansion will probably cost close to a billion dollars based on the current state of the track through Healdsburg and beyond (failed bridges, completely washed out sections along Foss Creek, etc). We should develop a more efficient bus bridge from these locations to the airport and invest in ending the homeless crisis now.
Probably until < 5nm . Once we get there we are going to see a massive influx of engineering to things like quantum computation .

Yes, I would. Because that patch is a "style" patch. It's not important in the author's roadmap for the project.

People ask for different things and think their things are the most important, and when they don't get their way, screaming and kicking to force them in. They can always fork it or create a separate project if it's so important.

Without addressing the thing about the NIST P-curves being backdoored, which is an extremely dubious proposition, I'll just say that whether you trust NIST or not, nobody should be using custom curves with TLS. Cryptographers have spent an inordinate amount of time working out, proposing, and competing with each other about what the best curves are, and what the best mechanisms for generating them are, and there are a wealth of named curves to pick from.

I'd be happier if nobody used the P-curves (they're unsafe for other reasons). But that's got nothing to do with whether people should literally be plugging their own Weierstrass coefficients and base points into X.509.

Standards should immediately deprecate support for explicit curve parameters.

I agree with you that projects aren't required to do this. (And I also agree that developers often feel pressured to build up a community for their project.) But still - that's what they wrote.
They also had an effectively unlimited budget and hundreds of thousands of people to throw at the problem. You can often lay hands on some smart people under those conditions.
> city of 75,000+ and we have 3 public pinball machines.

That makes me sad. Perhaps there's a business opportunity, though? There are almost 300 pinball machines in my (admittedly more populated) area, and 150 of them are in a single establishment that combines a pinball arcade (that runs on nickels) with a bar (that does not run on nickels). It's been doing great business for 10 years or so now.

"We last raised an equity round in the summer of 2015 and haven't had a need to raise capital since. This is because we are very capital efficient and have been since our founding."

If you haven't had a need to raise capital since your founding because your were capital-efficient, then why did you raise an equity round in 2015?

Either your statement is worded inaccurately or you did need capital funding after your founding, indicating you also need it now or will soon.

Former Sonoma County resident from 2009-2017 here. Three break-ins in my last year and a half caused my exodus. A new skate park had been built across the street that included bathrooms and a bus stop. A homeless camp immediately sprang up in the woods behind it, and I started getting robbed.

That combined with the fact that the garden I had was 100% legal locally until the state legalized recreational cannabis and the county went for the cash grab. What Sonoma County did to their small cannabis farmers is another huge reason people are heading elsewhere.

It left me in the position of leaving or having an illegal garden that was being robbed. I can tell you that I didn't move to Northern California to grow cannabis illegally and I didn't move to the woods to get robbed, so the choice to leave was tough but unambiguous.

Known misogynist in LA venture scene – not sure what to do
Here's the facts.

There is someone who is in the startup funding scene in LA who hosts events for founders to network on their fundraising journey.

Now these events just so happen to only invite male founders.

These events also just so happen to end up in strip clubs where girls are paraded out in a line and the founders get to "choose" which girl they would like to hang out with.

I have to believe that this person has such a vacuous soul and deep insecurity that he doesn't even register that what he is doing is so beyond disgusting.

After the events this person then helps facilitate deals and is regularly given advsiory shares.

Now the question is. What to do?
A founder friend came back from one of these events and seemed to not understand how insane this was. I full on lost it at the idea that he participated in it. We are no longer friends.

This situation drags down all of tech and those of us who are inclusive champions of everyone and I've fking had it.

Do I anonymously message the culprit? Name and shame him? This pattern of behaviour makes me really concerned for any female founder that meets with him.
Not in India, it wasn’t..the English was impeccable. Newspapers was how so many people who didn’t go to school brushed up and learnt English grammar and spelling.
