Probably because things would break in subtle and confusing ways if they did.

E.g. you have a build server and chose to use live DNS to point at it artifacts on an internal network because it was simpler to just edit a single zone file.

> But a degree is a useful shortcut in many cases. Or maybe I've just not worked with any non-degreed experts yet.

When we were trying to find new developers in our team, we didn’t make that observation.

When I worked with other developers as colleagues or partners, I didn’t make that observation.

Basically, there were only good and mediocre people, without any correlation with the fact they hold a degree or not.

Yeah, if you don't want to lose the protection provided by a firewall, then all you have to do is avoid running any web browsers on any devices on the LAN...

This should be a huge scandal. For some reason we tend to give browsers a free pass when it comes to security.

My claim is that empathetic people can be dishonest and still be virtuous, not that no empathetic people can be honest. Concretely, I know people who do not express preferences directly on such things where it may harm me, out of empathy for me. I don't consider these people morally corrupt despite not being completely truthful. An app like this (or any tool like this) which removes the conflict between these values seems productive since unhappiness stems from not being able to live according to our value preferences.

I'm not sure who the "you" are addressing here, I'm talking about this problem from a game theoretic perspective which abstracts over all people.

It some situations there will be no lack of clarity - for example, if two people prefer honesty over empathy (shorthand for "will people be more honest even if they are concerned it will not maximize utility between the parties, or they are aware such utility is not at risk"), there will be no source of moral confusion. It's when there's unrevealed information about value judgements this problem manifests.

to be fair, they needed to scale to roughly a thousand concurrent users (where concurrent is used very loosely here). so I wouldn't say that scaleability was really a requirement. 1000 users is nothing.
On their website, they list their plans Enterprise through Community, left to right. That's the opposite of what's standard and immediately makes me wary.

> uMatrix I run in a much more restrictive mode (block all 3rd party, along with first party scripts and XHRs). Then I selectively unblock to unbreak sites.

That's exactly what I do too. You get better at knowing the likely candidates for what you need to unblock, but payment on a new site (or a modified since you last used it site) can be annoying.

Incidentally it has also led to me being both undercharged (client-side upping of the price wrt quantity) and double charged ('failed' transaction, unblock something, try again, turned out they actually both went through).

I am definatley "struggling to read this comment." Is there some way authorative source that I can use to verify which company owns which?

Is this somehow presumed to be common knowledge? Because if I accept every claim like this that is conveyed by slapping a new title on someone else's article, I'm going to believe a lot of incorrect, if not crazy, stuff. I mean, I have no love for any of these companies, but is it too much to ask that if we go around accusing people of things we show our work?
* Could this become a "don't hire married people in their late 20s and early 30s" incentive?*

No. The only real way to avoid this is to just not hire folks who can birth or father children. You'd be mostly safe hiring folks over 45 (Though men over 45 would be more risky than women). This probably isn't a good strategy for an employer.

Marriage doesn't lend itself to children: Having sex does. Having a stable relationship does. Adoption does. On the other hand, lots of married folks don't have children, on purpose or by circumstance. There is no real way to sort folks out.

Great questions!

Well, Jesus says “I am the way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father (YHWH or God) but by me.” (John 14:6) So, he is essentially denying that there are other gods other than YHWH and that He is the only path to YHWH.

Christianity is quite unique because it is not a faith based on one’s own good works. So I find it extremely interesting in that regard.

I also think it’s extremely important to be skeptical of all “religion”. Religion is process oriented behavior while I believe faith is not. Church is often confused as a building where people listen to a boring sermon and sing a lame song. The Bible says church is anywhere there are two people who have faith in Jesus as their savior.

Also, there is no way I can convince you of any of this. That’s not the point. I would highly recommend reading the ESV Study Bible’s Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and learning more for yourself. Not necessarily to be saved but so that you can be edified on this perspective. I would love to talk more about it!

I'm slightly confused by the last part in the article

"Even though free public transportation has existed in Tallinn, Estonia for over six years, there has been no indication that mobility and opportunities for low income residents have improved."

Following the link to the study:

"Almost a year after the introduction of FFPT, public transport usage increased by 14 % and there is evidence that the mobility of low-income residents has improved. The effect of FFPT on ridership is substantially lower than those reported in previous studies due to the good level of service provision, high public transport usage and low public transport fees that existed already prior to the FFPT."

This is strange reporting

No they don't, that's what being a warlord means. Private property protection is not 'whoever I like or pays me gets to keep their goats', private property protection means protection under the rule of law.
It's an issue for everyone. When you can expect any younger woman to suddenly take a year off they become a larger hiring risk compared to men. Equalizing the parental leave time changes things also for those without children.
From another comment, it looks like the father only gets half, but I assume you get weekends off too. Sweden also has 25 days of vacation.

I have a kid about every 600 days. (have 12 so far) Out of that 600 days, it looks like I'd work just 164 days. It would be 2-day weeks for decades.

That is quite a way to run a country. I think it only works because there are very few births in Sweden.
I wouldn't either, but I'm gonna hold out for some evidence before I start telling people they are :)

Even if you're in France working for the worst staffing companies, the lowest bill for a developer is 400 E a day, times 218 working days per year so roughly $100k a year.

So we're already starting at almost double what you planned for and there are much more costs to cover than just staff. Large scale projects are insanely expensive and hard. It's not just mismanagement.

I do not know where you are coming from, but our surroundings must be extremely different. This is why I am saying you should not project your assumptions on everyone.

Why do you assume that daycare staff are minimal wage workers as opposed to well paid professionals that know more about intellectual enrichment and child psychology than the average parent?

Why are you assuming a career means "slaving away for corporate masters" as opposed to a myriad of ways one can work to enrich the world around them while at the same time being paid (academia, small business, art/design work, community work, the vast majority of lifestyle business, social purpose work, solving intellectually interesting technical problems, etc)? There are people that love their creative jobs, and we should not pretend they are unicorns or that they have to sacrifice their child's upbringing.

What you describe sounds borderline selfish to me. I get you are trying to suggest something good, but a person can make the world better (and even be paid for it) without compromising how much they care for their child.

Maybe I am talking like that because I am privileged and have an easy life. But then why not advocate that our communities try to make more people's lives easier?

The thing about processed food is that it came about in the 50s, at a time when many Americans still remembered the dust bowl. Processed food could be shipped long distances and stored for long times without spoiling and was available at any time of year. It was, among other things, a hedge against starvation.

It's not high quality food, and you should, by all means, prefer fresh food when it is available and you can afford it. But the jihad against processed food may have unpleasant consequences the next time famine conditions arise.

OCaml has first-class modules & functors (functions on modules). I can write something like:

let f (type t) some_arg (module M : Stringable with type t = t) = M.to_string some_arg

This will have the type signature

val f : 'a -> (module Stringable with type t = 'a) -> string

In this case the module type Stringable looks like:

module type Stringable = sig
type t
val to_string : t -> string

Functors are just module types so can be used in the same way. Module types fit in as normal values, you don't have to pattern match on them. This works:

let id x = x

id (module Int)

My use case is that for the past 5 years I’ve built several API integrations in a vendor agnostic way. We never changed vendors.

Actually, we did once and we found that our abstraction was so tightly coupled to the underlying API that we had to remake it anyway. The core concepts between those APIs were just too different.

And I’ve had at least 2 cases where our attempt at being vendor agnostic made the integration completely fail and never work right. To the point the vendor told us “You’re holding it wrong, please stop”
In my opinion, the best protection is to have valuable skills. I personally see no good reason for employment protection. I live in Germany, however, as a freelancer I get no protection at all. Why do some people deserve it, and others don't? What makes an "employee"?

I can understand having to "insure" against the risk of becoming too specialized. Like if you work for one company for years or decades, it might be difficult to find employment elsewhere. However, that insurance should be factored into the contracts "employees" are willing to accept. Likewise as a freelancer, I have to ask for a certain minimum amount of money to cover my risks.

Even for employees the protection might have downsides. They are stuck with inefficient coworkers who can't be fired.If you are young, you'll have to leave before people who are older. And employees might stick to jobs where they are not doing their best for too long. And overall, creation of business is hampered, which hurts everybody.

Just some thoughts.

Besides what’s in the article, some Bluetooth low energy SoCs can operate on a power budget of less than 50 µA. Also keep in mind that with components like super capacitors, power can be “charged up” (very roughly like filling a large bucket with a small water hose so you can get one big toss of water) in order to get a larger pulse of power.
We know that people in most developed countries aren't even hitting replacement rate, so I don't think that 6 months of leave is going to break the bank.

In my experience, employees who are bad employees and blame it on time commitment to their children have usually been bad employees to begin with. I have a child, spend upwards of 4 hours a day with them on average, and work at a FAANG, while hitting promotion tracks more quickly than my colleagues without children. I know a bunch of people doing the same.
> This would be a real challenge for some companies.

Tough. If a company can't do it the right way, they shouldn't do it at all.

Well, I guess that depends on your point of view. I see no good reason for this, but I have no doubt that the various companies do see a good reason by their definitions.

You're right about the current state of the industry, but the current state of the industry is a travesty.

The analysis and results treats then separately:

"processed meat: you would increase your risk by 0.4% over 10 years, 1.02% over 20 years and 1.74% over 30 years
red meat: 0.17% over 10 years, 0.41% over 20 years and 0.62% over 30 years"

> The additives in the latter have been shown definitively to do harm, whereas there is less evidence about the former.

The article is evidence of their relative risk, and it does sound consistent with your prior.

I'm fully aware of this, and this, at heart, is why I'm certain that the day will come when I can no longer use the web at all.
But the correct play for empaths in this app is for both to pick bail in case the other person decides to pick bail. But now they've bailed on something they both want to do, but were okay with not doing. Not even sure if this app had a "pick 1 to 10 how much you want to bail" it'd be able to address this

Causation: if I do X, what happens to Y? For any well understood physical situation describing X and Y, the laws of physics tell you what happens to Y when you do X. If I swap out a mass on a spring for a heavier mass, physics will predict how much lower it hangs. The cause is me swapping one mass for another. The effect is where it now hangs. That's the whole point. If it wasn't this way, we'd say our physical understanding is wrong.
I work in deep learning research. In my opinion, pose estimation with one human centered in a frame is nowhere near the level of difficulty of constructing an accurate model of a complex a scene with multiple people and moving objects of various sizes. For instance, it wouldn't be so hard to detect that there is a train in this video, but to do upscaling correctly, you need a 3D model of this specific train. Yes, there exist deep learning models that try to do 3D reconstruction, and so far, I haven't seen anything that works robustly. Combining this information with an upscaling model is another challenge. It's not as easy as just plugging components together.

Sure, and nobody who talks about "natural monopolies" is anyone other than a telecom lawyer. The fact that we have different working vocabularies doesn't mean we can't communicate. I'm not a Marxist, and I'm reading TFA with interest.

A careful reconsideration of how the Law adjudicates questions of property and how it changes hands might lead to a complete Bolshevik confiscation of all the McMansions. That's unlikely, however. It could be that nothing comes of this line of thought. What I would hope, instead, would be for small improvements to be made, so that some of the vast advantages enjoyed by well-lawyered capitalists might be eliminated in favor of a more just and fair system for everyone.
