That a legitimate election was manipulated by powerful people to install the loser, and that the people who voted for the other guy need to stand up for what’s right and defend the “real” America.
I think you're misreading the reference to "raw milk" -- I don't think that poster is referring to pasteurization, just the cost of TPQ quotas.

For those not familiar with Canada's crazy system, farmers must own milk quotas in order to be able to sell milk beyond the farm gate, and this is very aggressively enforced. Quota prices are extraordinarily high; currently $24,000 CAD/cow in Ontario and Quebec, $36,500 CAD/cow in BC, up to around $44,000/cow in Alberta. The effect of this is that even opening a small hobby farm is impossible without huge investments (e.g., the upfront cost just to buy just the quotas, not the land or the cows, for a small 100 cow venture in Ontario is $2.4 million).

At one time long ago, this system was billed as protecting the family farm, but in practice now it drives the death of family farms, as people with quotas slowly sell out to large producers and new farmers cannot enter the marketplace because of the quota cost wall.
Does it also work with reMarkable 2?
> It’s unclear to me how HR is any different from the CEO here. If any employee at my company experienced sexual harassment I would expect them to come to me, and said Director would be out the door within minutes. No need for HR there. If anything they’re just another hoop the victim has to jump through.

I agree with this - if a CEO tolerates bad behavior (such as sexual harassment) in their company, having an HR department or not will make little difference.
Thats a good point, sticking with the OS the machine shipped with. I was on a sierra/high sierra machine for a long time and was recently forced to upgrade to Catalina. What a hateful experience. Everything I use on a daily basis as a developer broke. The worst was my oracle instant client which was now being stiff armed by the os every 10 ms when I tried to run it. I had to go in and open settings > security > allow some .so file to run. Rinse and repeat like a dozen times. What a joke.
Fantastic. Spreading the word would be great support to us. You can email to pradeep@highavenue.co or admin@highavenue.co to get the FBX files. I'll share all other info as we discuss in the email :)

Haha! "Contact us for quote" is current way for us now - sorry for that. Automating the purchase needs a ton of effort at the moment.

Windows app seems like a cool idea as well. Feedback noted!!!

Thanks a ton again for the ideas, comments & questions.

Pfft. Should have made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayran from that and market it as a rare speciality :-)
Unfortunately, there are functions where I know how to use them, and still can't reliably spell them correctly. Also it helps preventing confusion between languages. Is it length or size? Are the math operations qualified with type information or overloaded (e.g., labs/abs/fabs in cmath)?

Lastly, at least the auto completion I used in intellij and visual studio is a peak into the documentation, it lists the full method signature, including all other methods, and opens the documentation on click.
I'm on a powerspec right now. I couldn't build this PC with the same parts this cheap and it comes with a windows license and as you stated, no bloatware. They are fantastic little machines.
What was your goal with your side project?

If your goal was to create a company and sell your product, maybe you have a great opportunity here.

Maybe you can tell your VP: “I am building this tool, if you are interested, you can be my first customer. I give you the tool for free, and i can stay on as part time freelancer to integrate the product into your workflow while slowly phasing out my work here”.

Hopefully they understand it’s a win-win situation as it allows you to start a company while keeping some revenue, and for them they get a product they don’t build and get to keep you for a few more months/years.

Now they may also be greedy and try to screw you over, and honestly if they do want to screw you, they will. Big time.

May I inquire if you have ever worked for a larger company?

You are describing a union.

HR exists to serve the companies interests, not the employees.

As the name implies, the purpose is to manage, and maximize the efficient utilization of, the resource "human being".

This can mean preventing abuse because it's a legal issue or because it's bad for productivity and team morale.

But it just as often means shuffling people around and making sure affected employees keep quiet, don't cause a stir or actually sue.

This is not black or white, of course, there are companies and HR departments that value employees and try protect them, but there will always be a conflict of interest because the primary goal is to help the company.
According to Firefox I have 217 saved logins in different websites.

Even if I only used a fifth of them once a month, I wouldn't want to re-login 521 times every year. This is a big UX decline for pretty much zero privacy gain.
This is spot-on! It took a year to get our trademarks for our open source software, including negotiating with another claimant and waiting for yet another potential claimant to drop out of the race. It was not fun or cheap but totally worth it.

I just got our "ribbon copy" (with the gold seal) yesterday!
I think that's one of the main points of the article. And arguably, a point that perhaps every reader should take with them after reading it.

Not that "using some words give the listener implicit information about you", but that if some words activate some bias in the listener, than perhaps is better to avoid them, only for a while. Maybe wait until a common set of understanding has taken root before taking out the lingo.

This is only relevant if your intent is to actually reach across the aisle and understand where the ignorance/hate/whatever comes from; in essence to engage meaningfully for both parties, not necessarily convince.

If that's not your intention, then probably you'll feel offended at the discouragement of using some words. I'd say bias is the ultimate enemy here, and unfortunately, it's very hard to defeat bias head on, it's easier to lay a trap for it and slowly chip it away. I wouldn't say "patience" is a quality of any kind of discourse nowadays, from any "side".
You say a lot of "I would like" and "We must" - without providing any evidence of what this would entail - positively or negatively.

I lack the factual basis here to judge the wishes/demands put forward?

What would be the consequence of banning all such measures? Are there any studies, comparisons, etc. here?

> We seemed to have a better society back then for the most part?

Now here the question is, how do you define that? At least in Germany, the statistics say that society has become less criminal and much safer. So what is a "better society" in your definition?
Well, sadly this rule about password aging made its way into some regulations. We know it is idiotic, but it is the law.

Female fund manager opposes gender quotas for startup boards
I made a ton of money from fixed price contracts. Estimated at $100/HR average real hourly was $150/HR. You can't be constantly up against unknowns and you have to have a predictable cadence. If you stay focussed and can reuse deliverables it really helps. I did digital marketing so lots of landing pages and integration with crm and email marketing.
I'm not sure why you'd think you should make a statement on behalf of everyone. If you are happy with this trade-off, you are free to make it.

My claim is that the pro-privacy solutions are not good enough relative to the problems they cause (and their effect on improving privacy is also debatable).
BBC Micro – how it inspired a generation of coders
I think that’s a fair criticism. It’s certainly a harder problem than I let on. A CEO can be as shitty, or more shitty, than HR. I hope I’ll never be viewed as less helpful than HR to anyone I employ.

Still, though, most of those issues can still apply to HR. IME, employees rarely trust HR departments to be on their side in a dispute. They’re paid by the company to look after the company’s interests, after all.
I think a lot of this discussion hinges on two roles of HR:

1) Risk management and mitigation, in which it acts like a police department. There are few checks or balances on HR power, and having police often outweighs the benefits of that police. I've heard of organizations where HR was more than a little bit toxic

2) Support and help. As a manager:

* I don't know what to do if e.g. a high-performing employee with high-level access to confidential information embezzled the company. A manager will run into situations like that one perhaps once in their career. I'd like to turn that over to professionals who know when to call the police, when to turn off the keycard and shut off IT access, or when to have a stern conversation.

* If there's a sexual assault accusation, do I want to be the person who fires someone who might be innocent and has their kids lose their livelihood? Do I want to be the person who tells a potential victim there's not enough evidence.

* There's the daily load of questions about vacation policies, health benefits, disabilities, or complex immigration issues. Quite frankly, I have no idea here, and I really don't want to have an idea.

My experience is that I run into once-a-career issues perhaps every 6-24 months at my rung of the management ladder, and it's helpful to have people who have been through them several times. I definitely don't want to be in a position of making Tough Choices when Bad Things happen. I'm good at mentorship and tech leadership, not e.g. fraud investigations, and I don't want the emotional load those entail.

A good HR department is incredibly helpful (just so long as everyone remembers they work for the company; they're not your agent or some kind of neutral party).
Sometimes I feel like I have some cyber stalker who just instantly downvotes anything I say.. generally about 30 minutes after I post something I get 2 quick downvotes, no matter what I said. It is odd.
Texas Electric Bills Were $28B Higher Under Deregulation
I’ve always enjoyed micro center, other than a few of the employees trying to force their stickers on stuff. Similarly I’ll find someone I like to load up my items.

I’ve found they often have the best prices, even beating online retailers. At least on mobo/cpu combos.
No mandate from the board. CEOs shouldn't be kings.
In general you will write out pages to swap before evicting them from memory. The goal is never having to wait for a page to finish being flushed to disk to allocate a new page. This means you will sometimes access a page that had been written out to disk but is still available to memory. If you modify it it may be written out again before being read. So it isn't unreasonable to have swap writes be higher than swap reads.

However those numbers seem extreme probably some bad tuning or just neglecting to account for the full cost of writing to disk.
All joking aside though, it is more complicated than a "big dairy cartel" with strong lobbying power.

See what happens at least in Quebec is that we kept the family agriculture model with single family actually owning there farm and a hundred cows. In that context, they can't be competitive with US milk which has megafarms and can mass produce basically any animal product these days.

To solve this issue the government create the milk quotas and limited imports of milk from the US. While I agree that it creates a somewhat absurd situation, I disagree that it's necessarily a bad thing. I much prefer drinking milk from my farmer friend who takes good care of his cows than some megafarm in the US.

They scan everything- you have some settings in admin you can tweak.

Scanning looks for spam and phishing- attachments may be scanned for malware - you can enable enhanced pre delivery scanning. They don’t scan suite emails for ads.

If you want to let stuff through you can setup an mx proxy and then whitelist the ip in admin settings. Just be ready for the metric ton of spam and scam emails you’ll get
> How about assessing their work and that's that

It doesn't work well in our enviroment. The guys we use this for tend to do a real mixed bag of tasks from a day of small fixes to days on a job. Its not realistic time wise for me to go through their days jobs lists and see all that's done in a day and if it seems right volume wise.

> Are they bad at the job then maybe try another person.

That's what this does. In 10min a week I can see if someone is putting hours and turning over work in a reasonable way.

> It isn’t anybody’s business how I use my time as long as the work gets done.

Absolutely - peeps are free to turn this on and off. I'm looking at the total work, how they break up the day is irrelevant. In that way they are very flexible. Its not like this runs when they are not working.

> This reminds me I had a boss who was nosy and micromanaging. I followed his orders and became a lot less productive. It’s like this, you want control?

I think your putting a bunch of your experience in here that isn't fair. Our enviroment is very hands off and from my end I try to follow what a mentor told me "Tell people what you want, not what to do". You may have another experience but I find this tool helps us achieve independent work while offering that coverage from people that are looking to do less than reasonable.
The site operator may not ever tell you if they were hacked, or sold your email in a dirty cross-marketing campaign. It is possible that the people you would report this to may not even know if they did this intentionally. If it was from a cross-marketing dirty list, only the web marketing people may know, if even then. In my opinion, just flag that address as spam and set a rule to either discard their emails or put it into a "compromised" folder. If you want to give the the benefit of doubt, then find the legal/security/report-fraud links on their site and let them know. Maybe you will get an authentic human response.
What I think grandparent comment should think is: is it more important to convey my idea or to show that I'm part of a group?

Both do well for different contexts. Probably choosing one for every context is a terrible idea.

As that saying goes: "if wearing a tie or not is more important than to pitch your idea, then your idea wasn't that important to begin with"

Watching videos of "normal" people riding as passengers in fighter jets, you often see them pass out briefly. The pilots are have the training and strategies to push their G limits much much higher, but even so it's still a risk.

I wonder how long until we see a G-LOC accident in a modern fast accelerating electric car... I'm sure today's fastest accelerating street legal cars can do things to a body/brain that some people wouldn't be able to tolerate. (And also, if you consider how much ground you cover in the very brief 0-60 of a modern Tesla, it suggests that a poor choice with the right foot could lead to a very quick bad situation!)
There’s a short article here with a little more detail, sounds like it overrides pilot input as well (i.e. ‘nuisance flyups’)

> I'm stating the fact that other companies can't improve the same exact technology (as defined in the patent).

That's equivalent to saying Samsung can't improve the same exact technology used by AU Optronics. Rightfully so.

> So this isn't about other companies still being able to make improved eg. OSes in the general sense, but if they can build improved OSes that also leverage the same patented techniques where needed (and they can't)

I think I've explained my point clearly enough. I'll wait for you to give some factual evidence as to which patent you believe is giving rise to your statement of "they can't".

Octopus is very tech-savvy (especially for a energy utility company), so in theory it's doable, especially in their line of business and size. Note that 1200 is still small as large companies go, especially these days when you don't have to build everything yourself and you can use agile/lean techniques to organize yourself.

* a team to manage the cloud relationship for email/web/hosting for their own apps, and colo if needed.

* design their own laptop images (or get them designed by the vendor) and outsource laptop provisioning/imaging to a 3rd party. If you use virtual desktops you can use your cloud vendor for hosting them.

Both of those could be 5-10 people with the right skills (called it an "infrastructure" team) -- less than 5 is possible but would create key person risk. There's still people with the right set of specialized skills, but it hasn't become a huge bureaucratic organization.

Looking at their website, they appear to have a data science team, so none of this precludes them having other teams to address cross-cutting concerns like cyber-sec, reliability, etc. Or from having software developers attached to teams tasked with delivering new products, e.g. they have several API offerings[1].

The title is on point, that's cute! And elegantly done, too. That's a nice QML tutorial, thank you.
The challenge, as you suggest, is that "reasoning" about things gets really complicated and at least partially a matter of "gut feel."

There's a fascinating story from the 1990s when Massachusetts released anonymized state employee hospital records for medical research. They only included date of birth, gender, and zip code along with the actual medical information. An MIT grad student at the time--she's now a Harvard professor--Latanya Sweeney informed William Weld, the governer of MA at the time, that she had his medical records. She had done a linkage attack using voter database registration. (She subsequently did other research in this area and has a tool on her site where you can see if you could be uniquely identified in the same way. I can as I live in a fairly small town.)

Not really. I don't even have a camera on my car and most of the people I know don't either. Even with the accessibility of cameras it's hard to capture events that take place in a small time interval. That's why when someone sees something momentarily spectacular (like seeing a person throw a basketball into the hoop from behind their back at half court) they say things like "I wish I caught that on camera"
> Personally I'd be too honest to trick people like that, but people who are open to dishonest or bad actions on the platform seem to do well.

Yeah...not for me. Personal Honor and Integrity are a big deal for me.

It's funny. I'm open and extremely honest. Scammers see that as "gullible," but I've been swimming with some of the world's nastiest sharks for 40 years. It's actually kind of difficult to scam me.

I've just learned that I don't need to use nukes to enforce my boundaries. Even scammers react well to simple respect, and it's quite possible to discourage them without being a prick.

I've also learned that it's not a good idea to antagonize crooks. They can often be a bit vindictive.
