Implying that those who disagree with you are "crazy leftists" might be one reason for a downvote, for a start.
My experience hasn't been anything like this. Countless upgrades, rarely a change to configuration. Any changes that did happen were communicated.

Nor with gitlab-runner (and I even fork it to add stuff), and use docker-in-docker.
5G – If You Build It, They Will Come
With all the world's knowledge at our fingertips, including detailed information about political fundraising and voting records, people have increasingly realized that politics isn't the right place for thoughtful discussions about real issues. It's like going to Nike headquarters and asking why everyone's so focused on sportswear.

As far as I can recall, when Tinder first came out it most certainly was explicitly for hookups and casual sex.
> lots of cash-strapped organizations whose Web presence depends on .org continuing to be operated as it was

Actually, this is the problem. Cash-strapped organizations should not be forced to pay rent for something that should be owned by them, or the people or the internet at large.

This is something Handshake addresses.

> If the problem was as easily solved as setting up and running an alternative DNS root, we wouldn't need Handshake. We'd just run an alternative DNS root, but with a governing charter that is less prone to corruption. No need to introduce a blockchain to solve a fundamentally social problem.

"Less prone to corruption" is an interesting phrase. We've tried, and tried, throughout the history of mankind to create organizations that are "less prone to corruption." Ultimately, it's hard to solve if you choose to do it a social way.

Blockchain uniquely solves the issue here and, for the world, the way Handshake approaches the replacement of the root zone, will be the birth of the first time, in mankind, a actual system used by all people is powered, at the core (root), by blockchain.

There are a lot of made up problems that people are trying to solve with "blockchain" projects, and then there's Handshake, a consensus driven decentralized dns root and certificate authority, that helps the coordination of the internet namespace which isn't owned by any one person, but the collective of us all.
>Are anyone going to be fooled by this?

I think that is a lot harder to know and an eternal debate I have.

Yeah lots of media is buying a lot of attention...in the end someone chooses to vote for that person, or not, or stay home.

I strongly worry about the influence / advantage of such money, but folks still pick them and provided they're not illegally ... imprisoning candidates (extreme example of course)... it's still an election.

I don't know how to tell how much these things really change people's minds or if they really do just get extra attention and folks pick the person they want.
A big difference is Bloomberg currently is 100% self funding his campaign while the '16 Hillary campaign had a lot of money yes but it came from donors supporting her. Bloomberg is self funding and is only where he is because of the massive amount of money he's throwing around from his own pocket.

Also it's not about explicitly buying votes but there's a lot of lower information voters out there who currently are principally hearing from Bloomberg because he's spending lots of money in later states where the more traditionally funded campaigns haven't because they're on lower cash reserves.
Yeah it's really sad, Bloomberg essentially is Democratic version of Trump.
You're thinking that I label the behavior sexist because the manager propositions only women and not men. I am not. I am labeling the behavior sexist because it contributes to both a work culture, and the wider culture, which excludes women from status and power.
It works profoundly well. As documented in the experimental trials, chronic PTSD, in a majority of cases, was cured after three sessions + therapy.
Perhaps, though not easily. You could be looking at getting harmonics on the physical components of the microphone from the ultrasound which would bleed all the way through the normal sound ranges. Plus, with enough sound pressure, the microphone may be physically maxed out (that is, physically/electronically unable to register any further sound pressure).
He didn't enact and he stopped it. I assume you aren't from NYC, stop & frisk pre dates Bloomberg by a decade.

>Your theory that sociopath executives only exploit people for money and not for other things they personally enjoy is not one that matches my experience.

I think I wasn't clear enough: I'm really pointing at HR, not at general company management. You're absolutely right: corporate executives definitely do exploit people for things other than money (such as sex). I'm only looking at the situation where some manager is sexually harassing someone, and then HR protects the harasser because he's high-up in the corporation. HR isn't getting anything out of this harassment, other than keeping their jobs and furthering the financial interest of the corporation.

I do get your point about the boys' club thing, but I do think it's pretty common for female-led HR departments to also protect abusers. To me, it's just pure sociopathy: HR wants to protect the corporation at all costs, and the person running HR simply doesn't care about the victims at all.

>- Travel ban, which for me is a litmus test as to whether you are a "crazy leftist" by whether or not you actually think it's a "muslim ban."

Can you elaborate on this? While it's not a literal ban on muslims, it does disporportionately affect muslims.

>- Bring back jobs to US

What Trump policies can be attributed to this? AFAIK there a bunch of reports that a bunch of companies that "brough back" jobs were planning on doing it anyways (eg. carrier/honeywell, couldn't remember which).

>- Efforts to remove US from middle east

Sure, he hastily pulled out of Syria, but earlier this year we were on the brink of war with Iran. What gives?

I'm not aware of any of these. Can you elaborate?

> So being extremely wealthy and successful now disqualifies you from being a good President?

I don't believe anyone is saying this. Bloomberg, for example, is spending more on TV ads than every other candidate combined. It's not a level playing field at all. Bloomberg has a war chest nobody can compete with. His having it isn't the issue we're talking about here. The fact that he's able to use it in this manner should worry us all.
I pretty much reject your false dichotomy of dating vs hookup apps. The difference between a date and a hookup is what exactly? But even if we let that stand - the app in the article that was turned down is called #Open and it's very much a dating app like tinder/bumble/hinge not a hookup app (https://www.hashtagopen.com) - it just has a bunch of features focussed on non-standard relationship models (polyamory, open relationships).

The other site mentioned in the article, ashley madison, is literally just a scam (https://gizmodo.com/almost-none-of-the-women-in-the-ashley-m...), so I have no problem with it being banned.
Thank you for highlighting these examples, they've been very insigntful.

Management gives different people different raises. They do regular reviews to decide how much those raises will be, and not every person gets the same raise. Therefore management two levels above me does in fact believe there are differences. They show up over the years both in how fast you move to the top of your level, and in how fast you move up to the next level.

In a factory union shop you get a raise based on years of service, and promotions are tied to new skills. (If you currently put tires on and become a certified welder you will get a raise even though you don't weld anything). Again, not all unions force pay scales like this, but unions that don't lose one of their reasons for existing.
Sure if they don't know how to interview, they're going to waste their own time and still not get good candidates (or if they don't have much to offer as most companies don't). Our interviews were an initial phone screen of I think half an hour followed by an interview with the team for one hour followed by the take home test followed by another half hour to an hour interview to discuss the code and allow for further candidate questions. All interviews are conducted over a conference call with screen sharing for the code review.

You're right. I don't like it because what you're describing is generally how shitty companies operate. Often they won't even look at the coding test. Those companies deserve to get the worst of the worst candidates that they're optimizing for. They fit into the category above: nothing of value to offer the candidate.

You're right, he was a QA person. Thanks for the assist.

The other story I remember was he found that defective parts, which had their own area so as to be separate from good parts, so they wouldn't be used, were going missing. When he confronted a manager they told him to not worry about it. The parts were clearly going into planes so they could ship them out.
If that were true, it wouldn't make any sense to write a 'wow this is a cool hacker news reader' title.
There are limits to what the state can and should fund individuals which chose this path. Those choosing to take time out to educate themselves and contribute to human knowledge should consider those limits and their own person financial situation when choosing a graduate program. Those now striking could have chosen to pursue their studies at a school where the cost of living was lower and the combination of state contributed funds and their own personal finances were a better match.
i think the moral limit should be set in a way that all citizens benefit from a growing economy equally. I view it as a moral failing of a society that the upper x percent are steadily increase their share of the output of the economy while a majority doesn’t benefit much from growth.

Plus, in my observation, there is often a dismissive attitude towards Excel among the generic developers which blinds them to the risk of this “re-implementing Excel’s features” cycle.

I worked on a team that helped business users who had "outgrown excel", i.e., they had hung themselves with the rope Excel provides. Almost always their scaling problems were solved simply by better Excel practices: better management of the calculation mode; setting the RTD throttle interval to 1-2 seconds; replacing Bloomberg's streaming data function (BDP), with the native alternative {=RTD("BLOOMBERG.RTD...)}; optimizing the division of labor between what is done on the sheet with formulas versus with vba\xll code; meta programming, i.e., creating all or part of your calc sheets and formulas with code so that you get the understandability and observability of Excel formulas while avoiding the things that are hard to do with formulas, such as grouping, joining, filtering, looping; making 3rd-party add-ins workbook-specific such that they're not always on (many of these add-ins listen to application-level events like selection_change and on_calculation which can diminish the performance of all open Excel models, even the ones that don't use that add-in).
I thought the main issue was now heat dissipation.

Mueller's indictments list a stream of evidence from leased VPNs in the US that the GRU was using with images from their servers made available to the Feds. You've been lied to. There's copious, rock solid evidence. The single piece counter-evidence (which fooled Binney) re transfer speeds/times was later shown to have been faked and originated in Russia.

You're not familiar with it, but it is there. Also CrowdStrike was not the only independent InfoSec firm involved in the analysis. The DCCC et al were also hacked by the GRU. SecureWorks & others attributed those other attacks. You should look into the real world information and expert opinion - you're spreading Flat Earther-class propaganda mostly fed to you by an intelligence agency.

> That's called curryfication

I believe this is how it's called in non-English languages, but all my instructors and PL/semantics textbooks referred to this process as "currying" [0]. Which, if that's what you meant, is not what your parent comment was talking about. I believe they were talking just about syntax, not semantics, i.e., they wish in Python you could do `foo x y` instead of `foo(x, y)`.

Upon rereading your post, your point makes more sense. But don't you at least get discounts on the exams and eyewear? I would assume there's some justification for why vision insurance exists beyond the serious conditions you mention, and thus be an additional benefit from employers of workers who experience ocular wear and tear all day.
This is true. I suppose I was being a bit hyperbolic.

Having said that, it still seems like a bad deal even for students who get jobs. If the curriculum is not up to par, it's likely that successful students would have also been successful with self-teaching or less-expensive online courses. There's also the opportunity cost of being out of work for 9 months.

It seems unfair to treat your students as guinea pigs for iterating a startup - especially when you're already often targeting desperate people.

Linking to an external image and then making a conclusion here isn't profitable to discussion here. It'd been better if the op had said, and here's Bloomberg with Trump and Clinton (I forget the 4th guys name: I'm oz)... all of them clearly golf buddies.

I found his constant Twitter boasting distasteful and cringeworthy. It always came off like an infomercial.

Coding bootcamps are not all bad, though, it's just that I think if you are going to do one then 1) you really need a solid financial cushion (either parental or own savings) and 2) you should really do a top rated in person one. I can't imagine doing this through a Zoom for 9 months in my apartment alone. The value of having social support you get from instructors and being around other students in the same boat as you can't be understated.
