That is true for all humans, including children, men, women, and people in every range of mental ability. The path of least resistance is to walk away from that sort of fight. Men generally prefer the path of least resistance. The exception is when men irrationally debate with other men. That’s a type of sport. No one expects opinions to be changed as a result.
Of course, not necessarily because of the pay but because she is unqualified for the position.

My anecdata is dozens of these relationships with nothing done, and one with the manager being officially warned and moved to a different department.

The scandalous thing about the case in which something was done was that he was supervising both his wife and his lover. He ended up divorcing his wife and marrying his lover. That was the level it took to get an official warning. He retired a few years later, with no negative impact on his career (he was promoted after the incident).

Do firings happen over these types of relationships? Sure. Is that the modal response? Very much no in my experience.
It should at least be an option for those who want to opt-out of it in return of not expecting social security in return.

My old internally sprung mattress did me great for years but finally sprang a spring and that was that.

Got a modern foam mattress as they were all the thing, a very well reviewed one, and regretted it ever since. It rapidly developed a sag under my quite moderate weight, and it keeps in heat rather well so in summer you cook. My advice is, don't. My next mattress will be the old fashioned sprung ones again. IME, YMMV.
There have been a few other studies besides those two pointing to the 70% figure. It seems to be a curiously persistent figure, and I agree that it's not just about C++.

> scans the faces of people pictured in other users' posts

Why is this wrong? You're just scanning a bunch of pixels, and the data was given to you, so any liability or violation of use of someone's likeness is on the person who gave you the data.

Autonomous cars scan the poses and faces of people even if they didn't agree to any ToS, to try to determine what those people are about to do based on their physical expression. Autonomous cars track the movements of strangers over a short time as well by re-identifying a person that moved behind an obstacle and emerged on the other side. It would be silly and unsafe to say they are not allowed to do that, because human drivers do exactly that.
People in the free market are paid based on the value they are expected to contribute.

The reason is pretty simple - supply & demand.
Are you thinking about exFAT?
Does this mean that people who get married and later decide to run a business together should get divorced? Does this mean for example that the sqlite.org creators wife is evil because she is (technically) his superior, being the CEO and owner of the company he works for?

I really do not like such generalizations. Yeah, when there is a direct supervisor/underlying professional relationship and a romantic relationship develops, then things can get murky. And yeah, there is potential for supervisors to abuse their status to attempt coercing the other person, sure. And this has to be carefully considered and recognized so such abuses can be detected early and stopped. That still doesn't make any and every professional relationship that turns into a romantic one "wrong". The number of romantic relationships that originate from workplaces is 15-25% depending on survey and locale; I wouldn't call all those people "wrong" (or at least half of those people).

Moreover, this guy from the article didn't even have a professional and romantic relationship at the same time. He had one then the other.

I have to chime in...
Mozilla seems to pull back on its investment in web standards and browser engine development for revenue reasons.
Instead focusing on Pocket, VPN services and similar stuff, all the while keeping up a dubious privacy-advocating public image.
Pocket, Mozilla VPN etc might look like they promise more short-term revenue.
My view is that Mozilla wants to complete its metamorphosis into a near-irrelevant Opera clone.
Gecko/Servo, Firefox and MDN are the valuable parts of Mozilla (to me). Introducing paid premium membership to MDN would have been acceptable. Now I fear that I have to revert my Chromium->Firefox switch.
Also, people might not be as gullible as Mozilla thinks regarding their pro-privacy stance. They recently did a billboard and train ad campaign in my area (germany) about tracking and how they claim to prevent it. I doubt that won over significant numbers of users.

Sure, they struggled to survive going down the developer-centric "poweruser" road. I don't dispute that.

What they're missing is revenue-generating consumer products on a large enough scale. Still, I fear that on the basis of their current portfolio and corporate image they won't be able to become competitive in that area.
Introducing paid products focused on more niche markets (e.g. developers) would have seemed more sustainable to me.
You're right, but to be fair, you can have such a conflict of interest within privately held companies as well, where it would be well outside the scope of the SEC and entirely at the risk of private investors. Also, in some very notable examples of public companies where executives hold too large of a share of equity (primary example: Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook), public shareholders are unable to hold management accountable for decisions which public shareholders consider to be against their interests.

So either one or both are true: such a scenario is better handled by corporate boards, and/or the SEC needs more teeth to prevent the consolidation of ownership / control of public companies.

I didn't get super far, but far enough to see that an alternative to HTML/CSS was very fast and certainly viable. I also haven't been able to figure out if it's a cool software project or a business.

The style works for All Gas no Brakes because he wants to give people an insight into a niche subculture and often it is humorous, so that's no problem.

But Joe Rogan fails horribly to actually call guests out on their bullshit given the amount of crazy people he invites. He simply let's them talk because 99% of the time Rogan doesn't know what they're talking about in the first place. Guests on Rogan frequently opine on serious questions as if they're speaking from a position of authority, and Rogan doesn't live up to the task of keeping them honest or contextualising what's going on, which is the basic function of an interviewer in such a situation.
They make motorized hand carts ("dollies") that make it easy for a single person to move large safes. Either with motorized wheels, or a motorized actuator that lifts a second set of wheels up and down which makes it possible to go over curbs and other obstacles.

It would still probably be "fun" (not easy) for someone who hasn't done it before, but not impossible.
I've always found it much more challenging to pretend to work than to just work.
It varies by billers, and how much fee they charge on using cards. I prefer autopay for billers on their website where I can add credit card and forget it (for ex. telecom and internet bills). For others, such as electric or rent bills, I prefer to pay using ACH but cannot schedule auto pay as I want to make sure I have enough balance in my bank account before making a payment. Plus, ACH has risks of NSF from both sides, which I don't like. I have tried using my bank account to directly pay bills, but not super convenient.

Recreation.gov is the best! They do a great job at stoping bots from reserving campsites. However, there are many services that charge ($40/mo+) to do the same thing we do. We believe that leveling the playing field will help drown the paid services out and make it more accessible to everyone.

I never had the opportunity to use a N900, but I'm still using a N9 as my daily phone (though it doesn't have a slide out keyboard). My older N97 works rather well as a SSH terminal using PuTTY for the Symbian OS (S60 version IIRC).
I would not normally try to summarize a long complex explanation, but I would think that this section would also be crucial to include in any summary:

> First, some background. A few weeks ago I asked readers of this blog to suggest a topic they would like to see me write about. The topic that got the most up votes, by a landslide, was something called Men’s Rights. Obviously the fix was in. Activists had mobilized their minions to trick me into giving their cause some free publicity. In retrospect, the Men’s Rights activists probably should have done some homework on me before hatching this scheme.

> As you can see, I thought it would be funny to embrace the Men’s Rights viewpoint in the beginning of the piece and get those guys all lathered up before dismissing their entire membership as a “bunch of pussies.”

I've found two approaches that seem to work quite well, especially when both are exercised.

1. Brainwash yourself. Taking the cookie example this would mean brainwashing yourself about the evils of sugar to the point that you really don't want the cookies anymore. This has to be consistent though, we're very good at forgetting uncomfortable things.

2. Building beneficial habits. If there's something that takes willpower to do, try building a habit of doing it. Takes around 40 days to achieve, and there are plenty of apps that can help. Once a habit is set though, the activity takes no willpower whatsoever. It's just something you do.
Consider the social impact of the way digital marketing works today: it is completely based on surveillance. This creates mistrust and it is the reason conversion rates are so small. Makes people feel used.

Based on my research while doing my postgrad at Cambridge, I figured out a way to scale empathy: no need for personal data, no need for intrusive technologies, no need for excessive details.

Today we work on this social impact if you will: make people feel understood.

Recently played with https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook as well and was very impressed.
It actually does, though I didn’t mention it in the blog post. Here’s how you write it:

data EvenList a = EvenNil | EvenCons a a (EvenList a)
deriving (Functor, Foldable, Traversable)

But that isn’t really the point of the example. As the blog post itself points out, it’s likely more useful to use a list of pairs in most situations, and that choice would still be a constructive representation.

The example is not about exactly the way you choose to represent the property in question. The example is a demonstration that it’s possible to capture these properties using your type system even if it doesn’t have any first-class support for constraining list types this way. You can choose whichever representation you like the most/is most natural in your language of choice, of course, and you should! The blog post is just pointing out that you shouldn’t give up altogether on being able to capture these properties without changing the type system itself.

According to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_South_Korea

The three last nuclear reactors have taken up to double the time of the previous ones between construction start and producing power. The last one took ten years, instead of mostly 5 years for the previous ones.
Yeah so this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about:

-----------------

The syntax of the property is pretty straightforward. You can specify it as:

- A length (12px, 15pt, 13em, 4in, 8rem)

- A percentage (50%)

- A compound of the above, via a calc (calc(12px + 4em + 20%))

- An absolute keyword (medium, small, large, x-large, etc)

- A relative keyword (larger, smaller)

The first three are common amongst quite a few length-related properties. Nothing abnormal in the syntax.

The next two are interesting.

-----------------

I've been doing front-end web dev for nearly ten years, and I've never even heard of those last two, much less used them. That's the kind of thing a new browser could defer support for until after the MVP, while barely detracting from the average user's experience.

Though this does remind me that i18n is a thing, and how gnarly of a problem it must be for a piece of software so concerned with text flow/layout, and ideally it's not something that a theoretical upstart browser would punt on.
The article makes it pretty clear that they have the evidence to support their hypothesis about the history of bedding, so there's no question about that part :).

My point was more focused on your example about footwear and on the fact that just using deduction or other reasoning techniques without starting from real archeological proof can easily lead one astray.

So I'm not trying to compete on which hypothesis about footwear is better I just gave that example in support of the point I just mentioned above.
I'd expect some cases it's about customer development and long-term relationship development.

If you sell me a $200 basic steel bike, you might be selling near or at cost. But if you've earned my trust and comfort as a customer, I'll be back to buy my spare tyres, oil, replacement parts, and eventually the higher margin $800, $1500, $6000, and $20,000 bikes.
Yeah, they're all in the Wayback machine already.
> Communities and societies should absolutely work together and cooperate for the benefit of everyone

I'm interested in exploring how/why or if at all, the zealous pursuit of one's individual rights have made us lose sight of working together for the benefit of everyone.
Not sure what you "should" do but I suppose it would be more ethical to use an alternative service than google photos.

Somewhat similar to what you describe, the "Access Contacts" permission usually present in mobile operating systems essentially leaks the contact information of everyone stored in ones contact, if permitted.

The names and associated phone number can be used to build advertising/tracking profiles by apps.

The problem is that even if someone does not use those apps and instead chooses privacy-respecting alternatives, it only takes another person who does use these apps to have their information saved in their contacts.

I would imagine it to be quite similar with these photos and also with the facebook case.

It seems unethical to put other people who might not be on facebook and have not read the terms of service or privacy policy through these algorithms.

I think the contacts example illustrates how hard of a problem this is, I definitely don't have a viable solution. Even if you ask someone for permission, they might change their mind or not fully understand.
What is quality of life? Sounds pretty subjective. One person may rank weather at the top, so Northern Europe sucks. Another may rank parental leave at the top, so the US sucks.

Probably the most objective way is to measure how people vote with their feet.

If you buy them from the store, it's about $10/lb. I usually make four 1/4 burger patties out of it.

Granted, that is still about 2x - 3x the cost of beef locally (depending on which quality level you want to compare it to). But the price also seems to keep coming down over time so I imagine it will eventually be competitive on price.
