PDF is very far from an ideal format for the today world of different-sized screens. It is a horrible experience on mobile and even worse on eInk pocket books. I would rather advocate making everything available in ePub. Or even better - FB2, it is an easy to grok/implement (designed with manual authoring, simple scripted processing and low-end devices in mind) single-xml structure decoupling the content from the view even more. I often convert ePubs to FB2 (with Pandoc and Calibre) to make PocketBook render them in its native fonts (which always are better) rather than in the font specified in the ePub.

I would also mention that the text within PDFs often is not machine-readable (you copy-paste it and get text without spaces, with additional spaces or complete garbage) but I believe this is easily avoidable if you bake PDFs a proper way.

I could also suggest publishing everything in Markdown (with images embedded in a Base64 section in the bottom) but this doesn't seem practical because browsers, book-reading apps and eInk devices don't support nice rendering of them directly.

> “But how can I implement shiny whizz-bang features that will engage readers and drive conversions?!” You can’t. PDF is boring

It's not. It supports JavaScript, embedded video and other kinds of active content. Sadly.
Oh please. If the U.S. was so concerned about human rights violations they would stop funding Israel.

There's currently a huge push online to make Solarpunk a thing, as a kind of an optimistic counterpart to Cyberpunk, but I'm skeptical about whether it can attain the same level of cultural traction as the other big *punks.

Cyberpunk and steampunk both fetishize aesthetics from the past - 80's corporate Japan and the Victorian Britain, respectively, - there's a sort of nostalgic longing that keeps them culturally relevant. Solarpunk tries to fetishize sustainability in a similar way, but I'm not sure if there's enough foundation there to build onto.

No.

I'll say this though.

My mom sold men's clothing for Macy's and was guaranteed she'd never get a raise even though she was a top performer because the company had been through reorganizations and the contract said so. She felt unappreciated and absolutely hated the company.

We told her she could get a job doing basically the same thing at Filene's or some other store. It wouldn't be radically better but it could be a little bit better.

She was afraid to make a change.

My dad died and she never really adjusted. She had a chance to move to where her sister lived in Freeport, ME which is a mecca for retail, but she never did.

She died of a cardiovascular event within a few years.

Later on I had to confront my own fear of making changes and was furious at her for setting a bad example. But I miss her and think she might still be around today if she'd had more courage.
Are copyrights like trademarks? i.e. if you don't enforce them, they stop existing?

That's a ridiculous assertion. Any reasonable person would know that Assange is disingenuous and not a good person. I can point to his man years of agenda-driven public statements, but you can sum it up pretty succinctly when he tried to blame Seth Rich for the DNC leak. He's a fraud who did a few decent things many years as a complete coincidence.
1. He inherited that conflict

2. He called the Russians to make sure the missiles didn't do anything

3. Do you remember the context of those missiles? A possibly fake flag chemical attack (tactically the official story makes zero sense) used to goad him into intervening.
Actually I managed to find out the exact wording of the question, it was fairly different from what I remembered:

What affects the duration of a planned journey?

a) Length of the journey.

b) Maximum speed in few lone sections of the journey.

It uses checkboxes, so you can check both.

They expect you to check only a), but b) is in my view also logically correct answer as if at any section even if it's shorter than 1 metres, if your max speed nears 0, duration of your journey will reach infinity. But it is worded in such a way that most people will get the hint that B) should not be checked.

I'd be surprised if that was the legal view. If I take a picture of someone next to the Mona Lisa and then crop the Mona Lisa out of it, that doesn't make the picture of the person a derivative work of the Mona Lisa.

I removed a comment of mine saying Schuiten was a famous belgian comics drawer ("dessinateur de bande dessinee") and his style was kinda unique (and I love that style)... I removed it because I was thinking of Francois Schuiten, not Luc Schuiten.

To be clear, I don't know that anyone thinks that we need people to work in jobs where they are paid so little that they can't make a living. I think those jobs work very well for students and folks who need part time income.

What I am debating is whether raising rages simply causes inflation that then negates the effect of the wage. That's not a problem with an economy per-say, but rather just how an economy works. But perhaps I'm missing something.

All of that said, I share the concern about wealth inequality. A country will eventually collapse if the people at the bottom feel like the game is rigged and they will never get ahead.
HTML used to be a very nice format at the age of xhtml 1.1, very formally specified, and a tie with DOM was assured by vert strictly standardised DOM v3. And ACID3 was giving you a pixel for pixel repeatability during rendering.

HTML+JS today... now it's effectively a standard in name only, and Chrome is the new IE6. The standard is now "what has worked in the last stable release"

Now go to http://acid3.acidtests.org/ and see how the latest stable Chrome release can't render a decade old CSS testcase.

They do care, but they don't have a choice. Investing the time and effort it takes to avoid constant surveillance is far more costly than being under constant surveillance.

If asked, they would all prefer a functional government, rather than the ones we have now that not only refuse to regulate, but take advantage of lax laws for private date collection to get around slightly tighter laws for government data collection.
What to Expect from the Amazon Interview and Hiring Process
From Amazon Unbound, p.344:

> De Becker then commissioned an examination of Bezos’s iPhone X. The eventual report by Anthony Ferrante, a longtime colleague of de Becker’s and the former director for cyber incident response for the U.S. National Security Council, concluded that the promotional video about broadband prices that MBS had sent Bezos the previous year likely contained a copy of Pegasus, a piece of nearly invisible malware created by an Israeli company called NSO Group. Once the program was activated, Ferrante found, the volume of data leaving Bezos’s smartphone increased by about 3,000 percent.
Who cares if you don’t like my attitude? It’s my opinion. Should I genuflect for you?
That stat doesn't mean much to me though. I'd want to know about unjustified discharging of weapons. I'd imagine cities like LA, Baltimore, Detroit, etc are more likely to assign combat veterans to the places with higher crime, particularly gun violence, than anyone else on the force. I'd also expect former military to be involved in S.W.A.T. more than non-veterans. And for that reason I expect their likelihood of discharging a weapon to be higher.
Intend, or are aware it will happen?
My pet peeve is publications spelling NASA as Nasa. They've come up with some story to explain their decision that sounds just as bad as some of the lies Walter White told. I don't care how ubiquitous NASA maybe, it is and always will be an acronym. I accept removing the dots so it's not N.A.S.A., but I will only accept Nasa as a formal name if that's the name of a person.

I don't know about gun-permit tests, but people DO fail these kinds of screens. To a large extent failing a test like that would demonstrate how far out-of-touch the test-taker is.

I left it implied, but the logic of getting rid of gas hookups altogether, instead of keeping them and using heat pumps for heating, is that the emissions purely due to the distribution network are non-trivial. That's the proximate reason the cooking transition is being proposed. It's also why it mentions that there's a reasonable argument for a carve-out for _cities_, where the distribution network would be more efficient than in rural areas.

> Humans have an impact on the planet. Deal with it.

> Some of the big ways we do are summarily ignored.

That is, ironically, the point of the article (not that it's perfect). Let's not summarily ignore the emissions from the gas distribution network, just because we're upset that cooking will change slightly. Deal with it, and don't let silly resentment towards an individual activist or cynical campaigns by massive carbon emitting industries fool you into doing otherwise.

Saying "deal with it" is not at all how I would communicate the issue to the average consumer, but you don't fit that description. Never mind that individual consumer choices like your own, summed across all individuals, have almost zero impact compared to systemic changes like those proposed in the article. I say this as someone very similar to you (vegan, bike/walk everywhere, use renewable energy, etc.).
Allow me some pedantry as well : if people consistently make the same mistake with the name of a product, is the problem with people or the name ?

I'm not knowledgeable with this, but I think so, as it'd be a standard passthrough.

What needs to be kept in mind is that, as the standanrd passthrough, it's subject to the IOMMU groups handling (in best case, there's no other device in the same group; otherwise, one needs some trickery, which AFAIK is not 100% guaranteed to work).

> try to get a job after answering what you really think about Scrum.

That's providing an opinion, a very perilous thing.

Scrum can work, and it can also fail spectacularly. Often it just presses forward as well as any other process. By saying, "Scrum is awful" you're positioning yourself against the current trend in many businesses (similarly saying that about DevOps in many places, or DevSecOps if you go to the US gov't or DoD contractor). And since the value of Scrum is so dependent on the people doing the work and how they actually run things there's no universal statement that can be made about it anyways.

So don't, qualify it: I've seen Scrum at a past employer where they insisted on only code-based stories in each Sprint which led to massive technical debt, and eventually the project came to an incredible slowdown as they paid no attention to refactoring or other cleanup tasks until after they were bit by it. If the stories are a mix of maintenance and development stories then it seems to be more successful.

Such a statement is hard to dispute (it's about personal experience) and is non-confrontational (you're not entirely dismissing Scrum but you're not endorsing it either, only offering insight into what seems to be a problem feature and a potential solution). You aren't making yourself stupid, but you're opening up a potential discussion. If the Scrum Master is present you can get into a discussion about their specific process as implemented in their organization. That can give you more useful insight than saying something negative as if it's a universal truth, when it's not.
Cyberpunk is an explicitly dystopian genre setting so I'm not sure "nostalgic longing" is how I would characterize it so much as searching for a kind of catharsis or fictionalized escape from the things about it people feel parallel their own lives.
Ah, the dotcom era. I ditched a job offer from Silicon Graphics (remember this one?) to join a startup just as the bubble started to burst (late 99). The guy who's got the job I refused then went on to be one of the early employees at O[...] and then H[...] Inc., where he's now EMEA director of something (and rich, I suppose though terribly overworked).

My startup had most of its founding hopes in no other company than Enron. I suppose I don't really need to explain it went very, very wrong. However we managed to limp until mid-2003, burning through all of our cash. Fun times :)
Firstly, C being provably terminating is a problem dealing with the full body of C programs written in the world. The OP is dealing with their own self-published content. That's a different problem: if your analogy held it would need to be limited to proving that a subset of C programs written by the author terminate.

Secondly, the level of difficulty in making HTML offlineable is many orders of magnitude simpler than your C analogy: there's really no comparison. For the OP we only need to make HTML documents that they have authored themselves offlineable and yet people have written general purpose tools to do this automatically for most webpages. This is not a hard problem.

TL;DR your analogy is absurd.

you are correct that you CAN - but who does. That's no longer considered best practice. The arugment these days is that it's a lot easier to manage css if it's in a separate file, same with js, etc. So none of the serious web developers actually do anything inline anymore. The time it would take to convert a "best practice" website with separate files for html, css, js, etc. is just not worth it. The point he's making is still valid - why not have the option for something static.
If you create a gate that investigative journalism cannot cross, then all of the government's dirty secrets will be locked behind that gate.

Even just removing the audio entirely from the affected sections and providing subtitles instead should do, surely?

And surely this attempt to block publication will amplify any outrage.
Isn't the line due process of law, though? If NSO is allegedly committing a crime, then we can punish them in courts of law that are empowered and qualified to investigate the allegations fully and decide whether to deprive them of their rights.

MVC is such an overloaded term ... I don't think I've seen behavioral equivalence between any two implementations/frameworks in any language I've dealt with. As always, the devil is in the details. So going much further than "the model deals with data (either connected or unconnected), the controller usually deals with behavior, and the view usually deals with presentation" it's really hard to talk about MVC in general without some tighter constraints. For instance, are you models POJOs? Are they tied to the DB directly (i.e. something like ActiveRecord)? Do they process/send events (i.e. something like a model in Swing)? Etc ...

It get's complicated fast if you want to discuss more than very abstract generalities.
