This is awesome!

As many others are sharing feedback, I thought I’d might add some myself: I would like to have better support for changing roles internally within the same company (ie promotions etc) and in this regard having the month available at least as an option would be great. LinkedIn uses the company as a higher level grouping, then the years/months spent in a certain position.

For me to use this regularly I would have some reason to check in; and I guess either building up “company profiles” where I could see people who work in a certain company or indeed an interesting way to find companies and open positions would be great.

I love the “features” section and the focus on adding people you’ve worked closely with.

As you are - it seems - involved in Quip too, I’m cheeky enough to add some feedback in that product: fix notifications (!) - managing and keeping track of them is close to impossible, make it easier to actually discuss higher level on a particular document (not per line, and the comments in the sidebar disappears quickly) and lastly please add support for collapsing certain sections of a document :-)
Taiwan never had a lockdown! See the discussion here:

Taiwanese policies were not just much more successful in containing the virus, but also much less draconian.
> In the US, treaties are law. The political offense exception absolutely applies when extraditing people from the US to the UK.

Sure, in the US they are. The judge explicitly contrasts the US’s “monist” system with the UK’s “dualist” system where treaties are not law. Correspondingly, in the US treaties require Congressional approval to be ratified. In the UK, at least prior to 2010, treaties could be ratified by the executive branch alone, but Parliament’s approval was required to incorporate the terms into national law. (As of 2010, Parliament has a greater role in treaty ratification [1], but AFAICT that still doesn’t make them automatically national law. Anyway, the treaty in question was ratified prior to 2010.)

I was too young to really get into case modding at the time, but I went to a Linux users group event at our local college around 2006. Up until that point I had only used Linux as a live CD on my dad's computer, so when I saw the rigs people were showing off my jaw dropped. They'd ditched the beige and black I was used to for silver, blue, purple etc. with lights glowing inside case windows.

The one that left the biggest impression on me had backlit tubes on either side of the case front with bubbles flowing up, and the owner was demonstrating the Compiz cube and wobbly windows. I was smitten!

Incidentally, I also got my first experience with Linux elitism when somebody asked me what my favorite editor was and I told him Abiword. He told me "Real men use emacs." Still a little embarrassed about that, but as a middle school kid I didn't have much need to know the difference between a word processor and an editor. In hindsight I'm sure they thought it was pretty cute/funny for a kid to visit a college event.
No, a US tariff on Saudi Arabia wouldn't matter for either country. Make it an embargo, with other nations coerced into cooperating, and it would matter.

The US was getting oil from closer places like Mexico and Venezuela. Some came from Africa. Saudi Arabia only mattered due to the overall effect on world price. Europe would buy from Saudi Arabia, so Europe didn't need to buy from where the US was buying.
> this difference can very well be mistakengly assotiated by the child with the visible difference of not having a penis.

No. It is taky stupid theory. Also, little girls of that age don't know much about penises. Unless you abused her sexually, she did not even seen that and knew very little about it.

Height and strength are easy more visible. Cloth are easy more visible. Different behavioral expectations are visible and accepted. Penis, not so much.

Penis is something young males are obsessed about as shown by their tendency to draw it a lot.

SEEKING WORK | Seattle | Remote OK

I am a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Google Style, with experience at both large and small organizations. I've been using Kubernetes since the very beginning, been actively working at scale, and worked across the stack and with diverse technologies. I'm looking to help small dev teams increase their velocity by implementing best-practices of Devops: CI/CD, Kubernetes Deployments, and effective Monitoring frameworks.

I'm available for consulting on your initial setup, for fixing your build, as well as on retainer for operational Oncall. I'm actually quite busy at the moment, but happy to have a conversation if you've got something small or forward-looking, or happy to forward it on to my network.

I'm glad there are others who are challenging the Russian narrative in here. I'm sure many of us watched the original SANS broadcast (which wasn't for public release; youtube-dl is a great tool. I download everything before I start watching it now before it disappears).

In the SANS report a research tries to discredit people who claim this is CIA or a US state sponsored operation, yet also claim there is clear evidence of a "signature" from "Cozy Bear" ... what is this signature? Shell code? A known compiler flag? FireEye and SANS have released zero information on this or anything that connects things to Cozy Bear.

Also from that report, there were excluded IP ranges that were all Microsoft IPs (not all of the Microsoft IPs, but all the ranges belonged to Microsoft).

Vault 7 shows the NSA and CIA are involved in domestic operations (and if you go back far enough Church Committee) and there is a chance this was a US based State Actor. Let's not forget about STUX.

The level of this attack was incredibly sophisticated. It had built-in delays for several days to avoid network sandboxing tests in the CI/CD pipeline. It was signed and released from Solarwinds CI/CD pipleine as well.

Let's not dismiss Snowden so easily and not realize this could have been an American state actor as well (or even the UK, the EU or any other "allay" or enemy).
But are any of those new properties at all related to its value or why it is being traded? At the end of the chain of speculation, eventually oil gets sold to a customer who wants to burn it and real estate gets sold to someone who wants to live there. If they didn't, those markets would collapse (and housing has done just that in the past).

I do agree that bitcoin (well, blockchain in general) has useful properties for certain types of transactions or record keeping.

But I think the points of the article stand. If a currency isn't useful to buy things, or is subject to wild value swings due to speculation, then it isn't a great currency. If an asset doesn't have any real value to any customers, then it's not a great asset. Bitcoin combines both of those into, a mediocre currency and a speculative asset?
Where are you that has laws constraining that you have to be a part of a particular union, sounds very Soviet (in the fascist, dictatorial sense).
>There's a big difference between 250 and 18000.

18,000 networks were backdoored, but the Russians only chose to actively attack ~250 of the most "interesting" targets. Avoiding detection for as long as possible was deemed more important than e.g. exfiltrating data from cancer clinics in Indiana.

While being between 4 walls might seem isolating, I would happily take a 20 second commute (i.e. opening the computer and voila you're at work) over a 160-minute round trip commute any day. Especially when the feeling of isolation can easily be mitigated by a 20 min walk in the city at lunch time.
It's still tacky, tho.
> In the US, treaties are law.

In Britain and Australia, they're not. (Except for the Tasmanian Dams Case.) Parliament has to, in effect, cut and paste the treaty into legislation, and only then will courts enforce it. Sometimes parliament refuses to do that, and sometimes they try but slip up.
There are a lot of things to complain about in the UK but the digital services bit of the UK government is really well run.

I guess that's how some people justify endless Internet arguments with creationists, conspiracy theorists, and what have you. You're never ever going to convince your opponent, but with luck you might be able to convince some of the bystanders.

However, I agree that as you said, to be effective you'd likely have to reach out to the bystanders directly, and with an approach rather different from the decidedly unkind manner that those discussions are typically conducted.
With how reliable I've seen location tracking anyway, I wouldn't bet my life on the device getting it right. I'd rather know that it is up to me, and be accustomed to updating accordingly.

> 1. Undiagnosed adults: This is a big issue because it can be hard to diagnose "primarily inattentive" subtype (common in girls), which fly under the radar. These are "spacey" kids who may just stare or daydream, not so disruptive compared to kids literally jumping on their chairs and screaming due to hyperactivity + other issues (happened multiple times to me as a teacher).

Right, this is kind of what I'm talking about. A kid jumping on his chair and screaming might have ADHD, ODD, RAD, PTSD, ASD, &c., or some combination of them (one of the more bizarre stories I have is a kid with dyslexia who would stand up on her desk to get sent to the principle's office to avoid her school work when she couldn't crib off of the kid next to her) . What happens in too many schools is the school psychologist diagnoses them with ADHD and sends them to a psychiatrist.

What happens next depends on the quality of the psychiatrist and the means of the parents. In, what qualitatively seems to be a large minority of the cases (I have no hard data to back this up, just a collection of anecdotes), the psychiatrist does little or no additional screening and prescribes a sequence of medications (Ritalin, then Adderall, ...) until something works or the parents stop bringing their kid in.

Meanwhile the majority of the "primarily inattentive" ADHD kids either fly under the radar, or do so badly academically that they get more generalized interventions involving tutors or assistants who either bug them to stay on task, or do 90% of the work for them.

I (also the "spacey" type, told by every therapist I've been to that my symptoms are quite severe) was only diagnosed when I got sent in for a generalized intervention due to terrible performance, and maxed out the WISC. If my symptoms were slightly less severe, (or I were born 5-10 years earlier) I probably would have just been the "lazy kid."

Again this is because the majority of the kids who enter the mental health "system" are due to behaviors observed by teachers in the classroom.

As an aside, I should note that at least in my lifetime, and possibly longer, we've asked teachers to take on a lot more jobs, while simultaneously eroding their autonomy to do any of their jobs, so I'm not blaming teachers for this, just noting what I've observed.

It's not speculative, it's literally what he and his lawyers said. The judge was persuaded on the balance of probability (more likely than not) that it was true.
Exactly. The case against Assange has always been political - it is not to the benefit of Justice or the American People, it is a case for protection of the surveillance state, and a case designed to scare away anyone who might emulate Assange. Same as the case against Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden.
> Another problem common to both democracy and employment is the restricted set of options which create an illusion of free choice and consent to what follows - "I chose this politician" or "I chose this employer".

This is what I take issue with. The restriction of options in democracy is a part of the design of the system and ultimately related to democracy's purpose as a decision-forcing mechanism. The losing side of the polity is deprived by design. In a market the number of options available is (subject to physical limits) a function of the number of people who choose to provide options. There is not a corresponding artificial limit on choice, rather there are as many choices as society and the planet can support.

> Unlike choosing a politician, you need to choose an employer.

Unlike choosing an employer, if you do not choose a politician, one will be chosen for you.

> This makes the stakes higher

The stakes are higher in politics because of their sanctioned ability to use force to modify the behavior of others.

> Choosing is not enough, the employer also needs to choose you.

This is a good thing as it ensures that the relationship is mutually satisfactory rather than a unilateral relationship like slavery.

> And despite that, most people believe in a just-world fallacy in which your job record and position in life is made out of your choices, and you deserve what you get.

To the extent that there is a free market in employment, that is true. to the extent that the markets are controlled by politics, that is a fallacy.

> Everyone gets what the class of capital-owners has chosen.

Wrong. We just established that these relationships are mutual.

> Quid pro quo is the going rate only in the most farcical sense for a large portion of the population where the quid is your finite time and energy, and the quo is being housed and clothed.

Its not a farce to suggest that they are being paid what their labor is worth. Also lets please be accurate, they aren't "fed and clothed" but given exchange media which they then choose to exchange for those things if they need and want to.

> I certainly can't choose no employer.

Quite the contrary, you most certainly can. You may not like the consequences of this choice but that's a matter of preference.
I think you are mistaken to lump China in those countries.

People are constantly underestimating the Chinese relationship with contagion. I guarantee that China would not be able to hide any major covid outbreaks. Word would escape to outside relatives.

Chinese people are extremely averse to contagion, coupled with a deep surveillance infrastructure and strong authoritarian government they are in a solid position to hold covid at bay.
I find this to be an odd statement as well (as someone who did not know Assange had autism until I read that sentence)

Although I think the ruling is reasonable if the justification is simply that US prisons are inhumane

Vaguely related: I heard about a thought experiment from Amanda Askell (in one of her podcast interviews), but it's kind of interesting: what would you give up in order to not go to jail for 5 years. What amount of money would you pay? Would you be willing to lose a finger instead?

This does not immediately imply that we should abolish jails, but at the very least we should consider just how serious the punishment is. (And then repeat the experiment for a federal prison Assange would be in)
