Why would anyone need to hand over their credentials to sci hub if it weren't for this purpose? Neither the BBC nor the police present any evidence of this "phishing" that I can see.

If I still had access to my university creds I'd totally give them to sci hub. They're doing God's work.

Totally agree, although for myself personally the other piece that chews up my time is customer support. In previous jobs with standard SaaS applications the support load was there but it was easy enough to just file a bug report in the backlog. Now I’m building managed managed infrastructure and there’s so much that can go wrong that it’s hard to not get sucked in, especially for more senior and tenured folks.

20 hours a week of meetings, OTOH, is brutal amd I don’t miss it. These days I’m much closer to about 5/week average.
The article explains it perfectly: Understandably, male names still do not spot the “woman” radical (女, nü). 女 explicitly refers to women, whereas the “man” radical (亻, ren2) is more flexible, as it refers to humans.

This is also consistent with my understanding. On a cultural note, many ppl call Westerners with PC leanings “白左” and view the PC movement as a bit ridiculous. So definitely don’t apply modern PC standards to China.
Truly open culture does not accept tracking

The purpose of the tracking matters, though. Truly open culture also doesn't attempt fraud, DoS attacks, data breaches, and all the other nasty things that some people who are hoping not to get caught and punished do online. Unless you can prevent all such threats, it's unreasonable to expect websites whose operators might be held responsible for the consequences not to monitor how their own systems are being used and who is using them.
Glad someone brought up the residents. Guarantee any IM or surgical resident taking care of you at SF general, Columbia, NYU, Mass Gen, UPMC, etc. is spending at least 80hrs/week in the hospital and probably at least 10 more a week studying when they get home. They even grind the pediatrics residents into dust and there is no payout on the other end for pediatricians who only make 180k on average.

Hospitals are hiring more and more nurse practitioners, who study for 18 months, part time, online while working full time as nurses, who are only required to get 500hrs of "clinical experience" aka shadowing (only 3mos at 40/wk...), and have somehow managed to get independent practice to harm you in >20 states. Schools have no requirement to be a nurse beforehand (not that experience being a nurse is the same as coming up with treatment plans as a doctor...) and have 100% acceptance rates. A quarter to a third of the credit hours they take are courses that boil down to how to lobby state governments for independent practice. Hospitals love them because, to make up for their complete lack of experience, they order a ton of imaging, labs, and referrals which all generate more $$$ for the hospital at your expense (and they don't know how to interpret). You pay the same for an MD/DO vs an NP/PA, but only one group is trained well. All of this is to say, that the payout at the end of residency is going away quickly for a lot of specialties, particularly ones like peds where mismanagement isn't as obvious to lay people as it is in neurosurgery.

Resident salaries are more like 55-70k nowadays but minimum wage at $15/hour would mean a pay raise for a lot of residents.
Yeah I used to be on android, I had less issues there. This is my first iPhone (version 11) and I'm not sure if I will keep with apple. The tracking of google is bothering me big time though so I might just accept a worse user experience to avoid that.
You're being sarcastic with the "mind boggling" part, right?

I always assumed it was obvious to anyone who was paying attention and didn't intentionally have blinders on, that this was happening across pretty much every cryptocurrency exchange, and has been for years.
I am SO happy they did that. Choosing 4 digits by scrolling two pairs was a nice looking stupidest idea from the beginning. The fact that you had to wait for animation to complete didn’t help. And if you didn’t wait and hit “save”, it silently used a former value. I was late at least once because of that. I also had few predefined alarms to not deal with that crap too often.

I know many ways to improve an old control, and I believe Apple has a pile of folks smarter than me who did the same, but someone stubbornly retained that and that is a win that they finally gave up.

How should one distinguish Georgia as U.S. State vs. eastern European country?

It’s one of the few contextual proper names I’ve not ever seen have to be differentiated, though it seems it would need to be when speaking to a global audience.

For that matter, as an author, under what circumstance should you need to differentiate, if all audience is global?

Is it adequate to assume that since Google filters and has been filtering content by language for years, that Georgia in search results and relevant pages is almost always the Georgia they seek?

So this behavior has a name... I'm sick of this nemawashi thing used by people as an instrument (in the context of cross-company working groups).

It's not about building consensus together, it's about sneaking your "consensus" into the group by the means of divide-and-conquire. It's very hard to build a solid alternative consensus (or a defense strategy) if all the opposing points have been voiced independently, and whatever one you can think of ends up with "oh, we discussed this with the other party, and it wouldn't work".

Please respect your team and don't use nemawashi. If you are on the other side, learn to recognize it and call it out.

TL;DR: nemawashi considered harmful

> This is literally abuse. It's also not normal.

I agree it's abuse, but it's more normal than people realize when there is a lot of money on the line in high stress situations. The solution is to remove some of the stress, but I'm not sure how easily that can be done when so much money is on the line since they naturally go together.

I remember working in a 'startup' in the 90s with people routinely yelling at each other. I remember hearing the owner stomping around, slamming doors and yelling at my boss (who was awesome). Then my boss came in and asked me if I could build a client demo. After I responded sure, he said we needed it in 3 hours so he could present it and hopefully get the next check. Let's just say I may have then yelled at the computer while coding. Fun times :)

Heck, one of the owners decked the other one in a meeting, walked out, and we never saw him again.

> If we can save one life, it’s worth it.

I don’t agree. There is a point where privacy outweighs life saving. Otherwise, let’s put cameras in toilets just in case some slips and falls, let’s just put ankle monitors on everyone just in case they have a accident and need medical help. Oh ignore that fact that it’s always recording what you do and wear you do it. Here have a gamificated app to take your mind off things. Oh look your 4th in safety rating across your street…

Drivers should be driving. They should have their attention on the road and roads are dangerous places. But I feel that Amazon have done more harm than good in that regard when you hear stories about their “contractor van driving partners” peeing in bottles in the van because stopping for a break is too costly for them.

Although we are pretty much already there anyways. Almost every company owned van I know of has fleet management devices monitoring location and driving behaviour, and more recently every one of these vans have dashcams running 24/7 even if it’s for use case of catching the number plate of the car that did cause the accident / prove it wasn’t the van drivers fault (not sure how many of these vans also have a camera looking into the cab).

So while I dislike this idea, it also feels like just another battle in a war we have already lost as the van in question is a Amazon owned and branded van.
Seriously, their "bear" case is pretty laughable too. The worst scenario they can imagine is Tesla increasing vehicle production and revenue by 10x and making >$40B/yr in ride hailing revenue (up from $0 today). In less than 4 years?

I did think about that issue. In this case, the word Georgian is immediately followed by the phrase African American in the title. That should be sufficient to make it clear it's the US state we are talking about, not the country.
>Funnily enough, I can't count the number of times I had an interview and the interviewer described the company as the 'Google of Finance', with an emphasis on work-life balance. It couldn't be further away from the truth in my experience. Management in the financial industry is unfortunately still plagued with people who think that more working hours is perfectly correlated with more productivity.

Some HFTs are better in this regard, as developer quality/productivity matters a lot more for high-frequency trading than it does at a slow-trading bank or hedge fund, and mistakes are more costly, so they have incentive to treat their developers better.

We have passed the “look what cool effect I can do in a browser”. Hopefully soon we will also pass through the control-your-car-entirely-via-proprietary-touchscreen phase, as it is a dangerous user hostile system. (Edit: yes, small tangent; apologies)

Boring is good if your thing had real content, utility, value. Fancy and sparkly is what you do for a one-off show or when your thing has no real substance.
The difference, of course, is that if I message someone about an iPhone in messages.app, I'm not inundated with "targeted" ads for phones everywhere I go. Or, if I'm talking to someone about a recipe, my devices don't suddenly start displaying recipes (looking at you, Echo). Anonymized analytics, the type that Apple are informing you about in that document, are fine. Searching the App Store for a productivity app and being shown a single ad for a productivity app at the top of the search results is fine. What you are doing is trying to convince the world that the Emperor is naked, when in fact they merely have their top shirt button undone.

> but at the end of the day it's just abuse.

to this day, im not sure how i feel about this topic. I saw the US Navy undergo a lot of changes in this regard while i was serving. historically, various forms of hazing and abuse have been a part of the culture and advancement process. this has fallen out of favor and policy has either eliminated or taken the teeth out of these older practices.

im not convinced it has been a net positive. there are certainly some positives, but there are also some negatives. having abuse in the pipeline means that the only people that make it through are strong enough to withstand abuse and this strength is a positive quality. however, good people that might otherwise have performed well are sometimes lost.

ive known people that have had psychotic breaks or jumped off the ship in the middle of the ocean, but i also knew concentrated forces of willpower, warfighting engineers that inspire me to this day. would more or less hazing have changed either one of those groups?

That's what I figure, but how does that work for e.g. Cookie Consent? The user has a plugin that just clicks "Accept" on the consent overlay. They don't read the consent, they're not aware of what they consent to specifically.

Is their (or their plugin's, acting as their agent) consent valid because they know about the general framework (tracking cookies)? And would that consent depend on the overlay not including any surprising terms (e.g. "you're also buying a washing machine", "you're also allowing us to mine crypto in your browser" or "we may also use browser finger printing, not just cookies")?

> it never meant your ISP would never throttle data based on content type [...]

Accurately classifying traffic as video streaming vs bulk downloads, or gaming vs VoIP, etc. is a technological impossibility. Any scheme to do so is trivially defeated by things like VPNs and at best devolves to a cat and mouse game with ever-more draconian deep packet inspection. A good Net Neutrality regulatory regime must prohibit ISPs from being lazy and only prioritizing the most popular VoIP protocols and services they know about, which means in practice that Net Neutrality has to go all the way to prohibiting discrimination based on content type.

If ISPs want to throttle, they have to do it on the basis of actual traffic patterns. If you want to deprioritize heavy traffic flows, you have to identify them based on the observed pattern of sending lots of large packets, rather than classifying it based on the notion that a certain port number means a certain kind of traffic.

This is the income-based speeding ticket discussion but for companies instead of people.
> stuffed it into rich peoples’ pockets

They did no such thing. Most money being "printed" is used as a swap for bonds held privately in banks, and that makes banks more willing to lend out money. So a lowered interest rate makes it more profitable to invest in stocks, and kept the financial system liquid enough to not collapse.

Then the gov't borrowed a bunch of money to send to all the low income people (the $1200 stimulus cheque), which is the opposite of stuffing it into rich people's pockets.

You can argue you need that info for the operation of your site, but it's been established that you would still need to ask permission in that case, did you do that?

Where and how was that established? There are obvious operational and security reasons why the operator of a website might reasonably log access information, and there are lawful bases for processing data under the GDPR other than having the subject's explicit consent.
Thank you for the trust in Saleor jconley - Brava looks great! Mirek from Saleor here. While we originally started with the idea of fork-it-and-make-it-your-own, a huge part of our effort over the last 2 years was to provide enough API and structure to help avoiding forking. Extensibility through our plugins and extensions system (Saleor Apps) has became one of the big goals of the project and most big brands today don't take the forking route anymore. It's all about front-end development now with Saleor (where we recommend using NextJS or Gatsby as a "glue" for a JS/TS app). To further free developers' time we also developed Saleor Cloud and the burden of maintenance, upgrade and performance are on us.

How the media grotesquely distorted the Atlanta massacres
I belong to Shi Lang’s clan and, traditionally, my clan has the second character following a poem bestowed by Emperor Kangxi for the recovery of Taiwan. It’s really cool when I bump into random Shi people, even some from Malaysia, and we can tell who is senior (generation-wise), by comparing our second character. :P

Also, in case anybody is curious, this system is called 昭穆.
Meetings should be about consensus. Not hashing things out. Senior folk have experience, and that reduces options to a few. Pre-meeting helps narrow that down further.

So at the meeting, only hitches to the (expected) plan are expected. Not building a plan from scratch. Its more like a standup than a bull session.

Elon Musk denies Tesla cars are being used for spying in China
While we're on the topic: YouTube, which is inherently a video content viewing service, goes out of its way to obscure the video content. The TV app, the mobile app, and the browser app all insist on overlaying the content with random garbage that no sane human being could possibly be more interested in that the content that they launched with the intention of watching!

Heaven help you if you open a popular live feed. The wall of random teenage stream-of-thought noise streaming down across the video is just unspeakably crass. Why was this added, you ask? Because some overpaid manager at Google saw that Facebook was doing more video, so turning a video streaming service into a social network seemed like a brilliant idea. I mean why not? Why wouldn't people watching NASA feeds want snotty little kids spaming swearwords on their television?

PS: products slowly morphing to become nigh unrecognisable is a pre-Internet issue. The MTV channel used to show just music videos!
Isn’t it? Michael Lewis’ book Liars Poker describes much the same in his experience at Lehman Brothers.
