Yeah, she could have.

There's often social pressure to shut up, sign whatever they put in front of you, and take the severance money. It can be extremely difficult to go against this pressure, especially if you're not particularly well paid or powerful and the company is throwing resources at trying to fire you.

I'm not suggesting that she should or shouldn't have done what she did here, I'm just trying to push back against all the commenters blindly stating that "she violated her contract! what did she expect would happen?"

It's true, that's what happened, and that's what one should expect. But there's more nuance to how this interaction works, and I think it's a little disingenuous to leave it at just that, especially if you're going to bring morality into the picture.
That payout is indeed quite low, especially because access to an authenticated client session could lead to compromised Google servers when the vulnerability affects web services used by Google employees.

How would this compare to aparapi? I think aparapi worked by converting java to openCL, which could then run on GPU and FPGA.
We know that the sum total of what Hong Kong is doing is effective: rates of all infectious diseases in Hong Kong have dropped precipitously since emergency measures were put in place.
I have bi-weekly 30 minute 1:1s with my chapter lead and manager. I also have a 30 minute sync every week on each of my project(s) I'm leading and daily standups with my squad.

All in all, I'm probably spending anywhere from 2-5 hours per week on meetings, on average.

Our organization is pretty distributed across a variety of timezones, so the expectation of having face-to-face meetings is not always feasible. That means project spec reviews and other planning-related discussions are typically performed asynchronously over Confluence and Slack.
I personally find Next easier to use than Gatsby, but I don't think I could really make a strong technical argument for choosing Next. It might just be familiarity and personal preference at this point. I think it might be easier to use Next for mixed static and SSR sites than it is with Gatsby?

And I think at the time I tried Gatsby I wasn't as familiar with GraphQL as I am now.
I feel like it's less a matter of normalcy bias, and more that people reasonably distrust a Falun Gong newspaper written in a language they can't read.

I think the real test for retail innovation is whether or not it manages to impact Aldi's, since they're already a skeleton crew. I don't doubt that JWO can eliminate some labor but can it eliminate enough to reduce employee count from 3 to 2 or 2 to 1?

INAL but I wouldn't mention anything to your employer.

They will either want the IP and/or use it for free and most likely let you go if it replaces your job.

If you think your product has legs I would co-found with a marketing person, you can handle the tech side behind the scenes, keeping your name off the public facing side.

Make sure you're not developing, testing or using your product at work.

I would let your cofounder market it and be the face of the product. Oh and don't even offer it to your current employer.

Good luck.

I heard the same about h.264 vs VP9 and it turned out that patent licensing wasn't a long-term issue. For a while you got that license from Flash (if y'all remember when Flash was the way Youtube worked, and I recall mention that it was one of the primary reasons Flash Player was never opened sourced). Then the license for h.264 it was included in every copy of Windows 8 (IIRC). Nowadays no one even mentions the h.264 license.

I'm no expert on the new license but it seems the restrictions on HEVC are relatively light. I'm pretty sure it is free to compress and distribute media but the license affects hardware and software encoders/decoders. So maybe your HEVC enabled video card with built-in decoder will be a dollar more expensive. I know that every Apple device shipped comes with HEVC hardware standard for the last few years. I would wager most Android devices too.

> they were right in denouncing racism against Chinese people living in Italy.

In my opinion there was no actual racism, just common sense measures. That work against any strain.

> I am not sure how you can say the government's response is worse than other countries

I am thinking of our prime minister, for instance. Two weeks ago he was on TV 16 times in a single day, to denounce the emergency. Then we went into the 'business as usual' phase, and the situation slipped out of hand. Today he was quoting Churchill, and I had the impression that it was more to inflate his ego, rather than to do something useful for the country.

All in all I see a very amateurish management of the crisis.

That's a debated point, on live versions of the song you can clearly hear "Fulvio". On the booklet they write "Furio".
Well you can be fucked by your employers 401k manager. The day my wife quit, she was locked out of here 401k for 2 weeks. They divest everything during that term, and you have no control over the timing. She quit near market peak last year (and began re-investing this week), but say she quit this week? It's volatile enough presently that you could lose $$$ of they decide to sell at a low to boost their stock, and you can't re-invest in time.

Well, the most obvious is selling that data to competitors (store-level and product-level) and governments.
While true, you do have to ask how the hell there could possibly be 100 MB of just code.

Consider Windows calculator. In Windows 10, it consumes 15+ MB of RAM. When desktops have 8+ GB of RAM, 15 MB is essentially nothing. And yet, 15 MB is an astronomical amount of RAM considering the functionality Calculator offers. There's really no reason it should be more than a couple hundred kilobytes.
Seems like the https://www.vector.com/int/en/products/products-a-z/hardware... has some similar functionality. I have never used it, but by reading the documentation I'm not sure if it would have been useful here. The frame with ID 65 which needs be overwritten, actually contains 4 different messages indicated by the last byte in the payload. To properly time the modification you need to sync up on that, which the Vector box can't do.

Also price on request, so probably not in the price range of our target audience.
Just a shot in the dark here ... but maybe the person you are responding to got the idea that this is a VM from the fact that TornadoVM literally has VM it it's name...
>The opposite of normalcy bias is overreaction, or worst-case scenario bias, in which small deviations from normality are dealt with as signals of an impending catastrophe.

The question is to which one we are closer? That's what I think no one knows. Like how reddit says "2 million will die in the US" and some people say "it's just a flu" the truth maybe between the two half way there or so
To help adopt a sober approach, it's worth watching this interview with Warren Buffett who shares his thinking re: market and Coronavirus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvEas_zZ4fM&t=21s

One of the points he makes is that you should think about stocks as businesses. Instead of "I bought a stock" think "I bought a business". That puts you in a better frame of mind and perspective for the long term. i.e., You don't buy or sell a farm based on today's headlines.

The real question is whether things have changed on a 5, 10 or 20 year time frame for the businesses you hold.
2% is the Case Fatality Rate (CFR), not mortality rate. Case Fatality Rate is deaths/confirmed, and confirmed is not the same as number of infected. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_fatality_rate

In most outbreaks, "confirmed" usually means those sick enough to seek medical attention and get a diagnosis. If asymptomatic testing goes up then CFR declines, but then CFR ceases to be a useful metric for comparing and contrasting outbreaks. Arguably it already has diminished utility in this particular outbreak because of inconsistent testing criteria around the world.

I think what most people want to know (and what they believe CFR means) is the percentage of deaths among the infected. But AFAICT this sort of number isn't very common in the literature as ascertaining the total number of infected for most outbreaks[1] is very difficult, and presumably something that can only be deduced post hoc with modeling.

[1] Ebola being one possible exception, given the extremely high lethality and distinctive symptoms.
Please can you then explain why the font fingerprinting bug and window decoration/css leak hasn't been addressed since the last 3/4 years since it has been recognized by your devs as a issue?

That Chinese girl (sorry don't know your name) explicitly said it's too hard years ago but 4 years later you sat it's possible yet the bug is still left open?
Thank you for posting this. I am also in a situation where I am a mid level manager for a globally distributed team. The advice of "just have less meetings" or "force an agenda for all of them" has already been followed -- you really do have to talk a lot of people in certain roles.

I love the idea of a regular "defrag" process. I haven't done this consciously but it's happened that way because I'm in Pacific time zone and we have a EU headquarters, so as a result there is a chunk between 7am-11am Pacific that is almost always booked. Leaves the rest of the day for working time. Not perfect but works for me.
Why is VC funding expected to dry up?
We all read the Sequoia letter. Nobody can question their wisdom. Their advice is obviously based on decades of experience. But what are the underlying dynamics to this? The crisis isn't expected to last more than a couple years. VCs have horizons of 7-10 years. They have already raised from their LPs and need to invest over a certain period of time. It would make sense for MicroVCs and Angels to be fearful of strecthing their small bank accounts, though not the best ones I would think. So what's the logic here? Are VCs gonna take advantage of the fear for tougher terms? At least for early stage hardtech companies in development, the crises shouldn't matter. They can spend next 18 months in their labs or garages building while the world recovers, taking advantage of cheaper talent to hire if needed. Thoughts?
What's the difference between pandemic, epidemic and outbreak?
Jordan from Standard here. We absolutely believe that retailers will prefer to get this new technology from providers like us as opposed to Amazon, their biggest competitor.

So far Amazon has also not shown their technology deployed in an existing store, rather than an Amazon Go. We're actively working on being the first to demonstrate this. Stay tuned over the next couple of months.

> So.... this is just a fancy name for the advice "give your functions a name"?

Not quite: "defunctionalization" is a name for replacing functions with not-functions (data structures). (And IMO it's the most unfancy name one can give to that activity, as the name literally just indicates "removing functions"... I can't think of a less fancy name for it: maybe "un-function-ize"? But that's pretty much the same as "defunctionalization".)

BTW I recommend reading the 3 linked articles in this order:

1. https://blog.sigplan.org/2019/12/30/defunctionalization-ever...

2. http://www.pathsensitive.com/2019/07/the-best-refactoring-yo... (with accompanying video)

3. https://www.gresearch.co.uk/article/defunctionalisation/ (this one actually shows how you can incrementally adopt this)
Then appeal it. Child porn is definitely the realm where the correct answer is to shoot first, and ask later. The "damage done" by incorrectly taking down a single adult film video is not significant. The damage done by keeping a child porn video up, available to millions of users for several weeks, is immeasurable, especially to the victim.

And I am sure in those several weeks from the article, PornHub was not actually conducting an in-depth investigation on whether or not the video was, in fact, child porn.
It is the flu, what's different is not the threat but our response to it. So far there have been 95,000 flu deaths since October and just shy of 4,000 nCoV-19 but nobody's shutting down China, Mecca or Italy over influenza A.
I believe you may be confusing "stand up" from scrum/agile with a "standing" meeting meaning a meeting with a weekly or some other recurring cadence.

A stand up done right is IMHO not a problem and effective. Various other status and weekly meetings generally just waste time.
Hi IanCal -
Really appreciate you taking the time to test Datasaur out and provide this feedback! Responses below:
- We took the risk of launching before our tutorial is in place to get feedback, so I do apologize for lack of clarity for first time users.
- Good point, we'll try improve error messages for users.
- We've been taking import formats on a case-by-case basis, but we're looking to improve/expand our import/export format flexibility further.
- This is probably one of the highest priority issues for us to fix - making sure expected format and input is clear to the user.
- Happy to send you additional sample files and instructions on how to get autolabelling working. We can accept your own models/api endpoints as well!
- Hotkeys for labeling should work - this bug seems odd. What kind of project is this for?
- Search and label should work as soon as labels have been uploaded, sorry that it wasn't working for you.

Happy to discuss any of this in further detail. Thanks again for leaving such comprehensive thoughts!
This feels like the ultimate outcome of both companies' lax moderation policies. Ironic that about a year ago there were several articles about how Facebook will suppress misleading anit-vax content but will not remove it [1]. I imagine a lot of managers saying "let's just treat this virus misinfo. the same way."

It’s more like 18 or 19 confirmed now. 30 of 120 in the facility as of 19 Feb have died. Usually 3-7 per month die.
Awesome, thanks for the reply! Yea, I was trying to find a way to have a permanent high-fat keto diet for BJJ but it just wasn't happening. It was kind of a personal experiment and I was pleased with the outcome. Great way to drop a few extra pounds before weigh-in, though. Discrete carb-loading is unavoidable, though.

>The kicker about BJJ is that after class, these guys who are much stronger than me are winded and I'm walking around upset no one wants to keep training. Everyone is doing crap like sitting down and resting!

As you probably know, they are Doing It Wrong. Most of the higher belts I've known are skinny (sometimes barrel-fat) and not mega-huge muscular because their technique is orders of magnitude better so they don't need to rely on muscling everything. My main professor always skips the heavy warmup on his days and just does enough to get the blood flowing and joints warm which is funny - he's really good.

I really started to think about this once I got my ass handed to me by a teenage girl purple belt who couldn't have weighed more than 90 lbs wet. I was trying on purpose not to use my size and strength but quickly realized my technique was much worse than hers. One of the great benefits of BJJ is this kind of instilled humility. Not much room for silverback gorilla bullies.

Now, competition, particularly no-gi, is a whole different ball game in my experience. There, maximizing strength to weight ratio is of crucial importance because the other person is supposed to be of roughly equal technique and when it comes down to it, whoever's stronger usually has a better chance.
Ok cool! So I went through the signup flow and got to the last step that creates the docs and charges me a $100 setup fee, but I'm still not clear on how the program works.

Will this be deducted from their paycheck or from my account? Where will that money come from if I deduct from their check? Do you integrate with Gusto?

I'm just not at all clear on the logistics of how the money moves from my company to their health insurance company and what the steps in between are, especially since they already have post-tax personal health plans.
I think the dynamic of the US equity market has changed. In the old days, you can balance your portfolio between stock and bond. This is portfolio advice from Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor. We can no longer do this because interest rates are heading to 0. Bond investors don't make money from interest rates. Bond traders benefit from rate drop. Bond was an investment. It's now destroyed. We end up with cash and equity.

There's a lot of money pumping into the market by central banks. Markets are no longer free. Central banks manipulate their markets. With these kinds of manipulations, we get diminishing returns. Let's say the economy gets back on its feet. Where does it get the leverage to invest? We're overloaded with debt. The interest rate is probably 0 or negative at that point.

Tell me how the fuck Jeff Bezos can charge me for 2 liters of milk in my corner shop, without installing some freaky app or device that keeps track of whatever.

Fuck that. And fuck Jeff too. I don't want him to know what I shop. I don't want anyone to know, perhaps except Visa because that's like inevitable.

In Europe at least we have checkout counters where we can check out shit ourselves, from store, without some big corporation in between. Because we don't want that.

These fuckery companies don't pay tax here, they don't add to the community. All they fucking do is take and take.

At a place I considered very dysfunctional I once had a record of 8.5 hours of meetings scheduled for the day. I went to my manager and said "we have way too many meetings" and he replied back "if you don't like meetings maybe you don't want to be a manager..."

Where I am now (generally quite functional IMHO)- I have a few monthly meetings that are an hour in length.
