As far as I'm aware, I have to use the official server if I wish to communicate via the platform.

If this isn't true, I'd be very interested to learn more.
Maybe I missed some details but it appears that the people responsible for the pay gap did not close it. They created legal risk for their company and lost two presumably high performing employees. There is a strong case that some employees at the company are overpaid based on that performance.
I am telling you that "They also refuse to open source their server software." is false.
Looking at page 13, they talk about their harassment list for at-risk youth, and mention these as 'identifiable risk factors':

- Hanging around in public

- Being a victim of personal crime

- Coming from broken homes

Page 72 show that they use records of children who experience physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or witness domestic violence to put them on lists. Page 73 shows the "At-Risk Youth Spreadsheet" which is both terrifying and strikingly banal.
I used to think this way and realized there were two key things I missed (these are game changers).

1) There are places where the appreciation on the primary residence is not-taxed or taxed at a low rate. I.e. In HCOL areas, people who just bought a house and did nothing much in life (say, drove an Uber just to make ends meet), are worth 1-2 million dollars after tax.

2) When you buy real-estate through a mortgage, you are getting massive leverage on your investment. Would I borrow 5x my principal to buy shares? No! Why is that? If prices go down on shares and I bought on margin, I can get a margin call. If I have a 25-30 year mortgage, I can ride the ups and downs.

These are all my personal experiences .. I followed blogs like greaterfool and totally missed out on some key aspects in life. Owning a home was a much more pleasant life experience than renting for me personally. It is certainly more risky (with respect to restricting job mobility), and more expensive in some respects (utilities). I just want to provide a counterpoint to your argument. Not a financial advisor so pls don't take stock in anything I say :)
It's not. Note that these threads are a few years old, but in recent research (stay tuned!) it has if anything gotten worse.

Doesn't Mac OS only do integer scaling? Is scaling to 250% or 300% an option? Day-to-day use I keep my Windows 13" laptop with a 3.5K screen at 300% scaling (nice and big), but for certain situations I will bump it down to 250% or 225% when I feel like I need more "space".
What in detail? Ok.

> This is itself an example of "art imitating art" as per upthread.

In contradiction to your comment, this is an example of my correctly using Sifu's title, exactly as he spells and pronounces it.

> English speakers use the word "sifu" as part of its own independent cultural tradition.

In contradiction to your comment, I am using the word "sifu" as part of a cultural tradition which came to America from Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong. I'm an English speaker; you are wrong.

> They use it even in contexts where it makes no sense, surrounded by Mandarin references - notably in Kung Fu Panda and less notably here: http://gowdb.com/troops/6582 - because they are sure it's "Chinese".

This may be true, but in contradiction to your first sentence (which I may fairly consider the rest of the paragraph to continue), this is not an example of that.

> But if you learned the word by studying Chinese you'd spell it shifu.

In contradiction to your comment, if you learned the word from a Cantonese speaker you would spell it sifu, which is how it's pronounced. Cantonese is one of the languages called "Chinese", so you are wrong here.

> The English word comes from exposure to southerners who make no distinction between "s" and "sh".

The "southerners" you're referring to include the Cantonese, surely. Who pronounce that word /sifu/, not /ʃɚfʊ/, and spell it accordingly. This is precisely like saying gyoza should be spelled gyatze, or gato should be spelled chat. Meaningless!

> But distinguishing those two sounds is not a problem for English speakers.

Irrelevant.
> Bot armies don't work on Hacker News, but false flagging does. My assumption is that the threshold for taking action is low enough to be reached by an innocent-looking number of brigaded complaints.

I think it is this plus I believe hacker news penalizes 'controversial' discussions, so by ensuring that there are a large number of 'controversial' comments the trolls can kill off discussions they want suppressed.
This sounds like a much better sport.
There's recent footage on Reddit ("rocks falling from the cliff" + /nextfu**glevel/ ) showing the enormous energies of a rock slide in Himachal Pradesh which was just brutal (people died, although footage does not depict that directly).

It was impossible not to think of it when seeing the above; you really wouldn't want to be anywhere near the impact site of a larger meteor if you could help it.

During the 1990s, former Boston firefighter and researcher Charles Kenney discovered that a highly flammable gas refrigerant, methyl chloride, had been used as a substitute for freon, which was in short wartime supply.[18] Kenney reported that floor plans, but not the fire investigation report, showed air-conditioning condenser units near street level on the other side of a non-structural wall from the Melody Lounge, and that these units had been serviced since the start of the war. Kenney also reported that photographic evidence indicates an origin for the fire in the wall behind the palm tree and suggested ignition of methyl chloride accelerant by an electrical failure caused by substandard wiring.
Self reported happiness is notoriously unreliable. Check out “Are you really happy?”

Here is a basic primer on the subject:

Given that self-reports are unreliable, we should instead focus on what people actually do. And since 2008, the USA has seen a rising number of “deaths of despair”:

If you look at peoples actions, and ignore their words, it would seem the USA is suffering an epidemic of despair.
You’re confusing fixing the underlying cause with fixing the resultant effects. Your statement is about the former while HR is trying to do the latter.

You can’t fix sexism with just a hiring policy but you can absolutely fix the effect of your company having no diversity with one.
Very much this. Most martial art studios teach over confidence and methods that fall flat on their face in the face of real assailants.

Preaching martial arts as a form of discipline or structure is fine as long as you don’t attach “self defense” to it. As soon as you’re teaching self defense, the content needs to change and very few studios tackle it well.

If your curriculum doesn’t teach:

* Pre-incident indicators

* Local law, when is violence justified

* De-escalation branching into explosive violence with maximum damage

* The goal is to escape safely, not submit your opponent (your opponent likely has friends, even if you don’t see them)

* The difference between defending blunt weapons, bladed weapons (don’t put yourself in the blender), and firearms

* Avoiding training “scars” from drilling (like handing a gun back to your opponent after a disarm, which I have second hand knowledge of someone doing in a real confrontation and dying)

* Coarse motor skills > fine motor skills (your adrenaline is pumping, relying on a technical fine motor skill to save your life isn’t going to go well)

You’re not prepared for street violence. Your self defense class is liable to get you killed if you ever need to use it.

So far my favorite honest take on self defense is Kelly McCann’s street combatives series. I’m sure there is better content out there.
Not disagreeing with you, but this statement seems pretty false:

As provocative as the person you're replying to was, this is a complete strawman. No one mentioned agreeing with his conduct, only treatment. You're only making the person you're replying to more right.
It's not that bad IMO but the Guardian sure has rolled way downhill since Snowden.
I'd buy that. I just didn't know that it was relevant or comparable to modern state backing of the rentier rich. wasn't sure how to judge such a comparison. I know that modern governemnts will send uniformed guys with guns if you mess with a rich persons property. But I wondered if aborigines beat low status members and women for economic reasons, or for mating reasons, or for something else?
> Like many other freemium services the free tier is limited and just a means of getting you to upgrade.

The part that makes it a scam is that the trigger to start extracting money from you happens once you have something to lose by not doing so. Think about cloud storage providers with a 2GB free tier. Now imagine if instead of just forbidding uploads that would put you over your limit, that once you hit your limit, they held all of your existing files hostage until you paid them $100. Wouldn't you then consider them a scam?
German-perspective news for an international audience (including Germans living elsewhere) about international topics in a large number of languages. Or, to quote the law creating it, its programs

> [...] should provide a forum for German and other perspectives on important topics, predominantly in politics, culture and economy, both in Europe and in other continents, with the aim to foster understanding and exchange between cultures and people. While doing so, it especially supports the German language. (my off-the-cuff translation, but should capture the gist of it I hope)
A scarey thing about cultural movements is how they take the law with them. A system of law is only as just as its layers judges and juries.
My neighborhood in Washington, DC recently replaced a number of old sodium streetlights with new LED streetlights. The number of lights was doubled, but power consumption was still halved. The ballasts on the LEDs angle down at about 45 degrees—light pollution is reduced by 80% as a result.

The LEDs are a much brighter color temperature but I worked with the city to get them reduced from 4000K to 3000K (which has very little blue light).

All in all, a big win. There are technical solutions these days, and they pay for themselves. However, municipalities often operate on auto-pilot; let your local officials know where you want them to head.
So, carbon emitted in the low troposphere takes between 15 and 30 years to reach high troposphere. CO2 in low troposphere have small grenhouse effects (some climate denialist use it to justify their ideas). CO2 in high troposphere, however, is a nightmare of a greenhouse gas, and have a half-life of hundreds of years.

By the way, methane have a faster effect, but desintegrate quite fast (i think its half-life is around ten year, not sure though, you should check yourselve). However, it turns into CO2 + 2H2O at stratospheric levels, so in the long runs it is not at all better.
> who cares what the letters alternatively stand for?

Lots of people, in fact the letters don’t even need to stand for anything they just become part of SV tech culture and spread from there. For example look at all the tech companies that utilize .io without any real reason. Or from an eastern perspective .cc (cocoa island) has become popular in China because 1. simplicity and 2. repetition is culturally meaningful.
> but nobody at the company knows because they only ran it once when they first joined and have just kept the same local dev VM ever since?

Lol. I've got a blog post for exactly this, and is the reason why I try to push the opposite - Dockerise everything and treat machines like git branches i.e disposable. Life's great when you don't have to tread on eggshells around a pristine environment and you're only a single `apt-get install` away from disaster!
You don’t need to trust the government. You can do your own research by starting with some biology textbooks and then progressing to immunology, the history of medical science, etc. Then you can read a bunch of papers on mRNA vaccines and learn exactly how they work. There is a ton of international clinical data available too, which at least means you don’t have to trust just one government.

Note that nowhere did I mention YouTube videos, celebrities, or talk radio blowhards.
Ammonia was never used in home refrigeration, except in absorption units (where it is still used today); the other toxic one that was widely used is SO2 (sulphur dioxide).

As I understand, the byproduct of a carbon-air cell is carbon dioxide. This doesn't mean such a cell can't make sense, but it has some fundamental downsides that are hard to mitigate. It will requirement a very specific form of carbon capture where the result is hard carbon for such cells to make sense.

That might be partially true. Especially in the case of hydrogen-to-ammonia where the process of conversion is much more straightforward. However, storing hydrogen in salt caverns for years at a time is already proven. So further conversion steps might not prove any real value except where volume of storage is important.
People living their life completely without money, can teach us all a few good lessons. If some people can live completely without money, then the rest of us probably spendt too much time hoatding money. Happiness is possible without money.
This is exactly right. UTF-8 is the transmission format that your HTML gets sent in, but it is not the format of strings in JavaScript at runtime.

The problem being discussed is about runtime interoperability between JS (with WTF-16 string format) and WebAssembly.
I don't know, I feel like people love to pile on PHP nowadays. Do people actually think those who are learning PHP by searching Google for tutorials are going to be creating production ready applications that would be so critical that a simple SQL injection attack would be so catastrophic to? There will be a million other ways mistakes can be made before anything is up and running with actual users. Better a simple attack to wipe out their db early on instead of a more nuanced bug somewhere down the road that is so hard to catch because they're trying to figure out what stateless composition of a single purpose component means. At least PHP makes it simple to write some code and start thinking about what you want to do instead of total BS React style esoteric f*ckry.

Let the poor newbies learn to code by seeing the simple beauty before drowning them in security nightmare scenarios.

Thanks for that. I was intending it to be an honest reflection of what some people actually think.

Electric cars are between 2 and 20 times better than the status quo. The end result of opposing electric cars won’t be that cars get banned but that we’ll just use internal combustion engine cars.
I make a lot of slides. I went from PowerPoint to google slides and hated the transition, but then I went back to PowerPoint and I barely noticed. Google slides used to have some interoperability problems with other google docs (there were objects you can't copy/paste between slides, spreadsheets and docs). I don't know if those still exist. But otherwise, I don't see a huge difference anymore between google and PowerPoint. And if you have to use the web version (because you have linux e.g.) google might actually be a bit better.
Reddit skews young, and I’ve definitely noticed the younger generation likes to commiserate. There’s also this pervasive sense of doom that the environment and the economy is going to collapse.

You’re being generous. If the prompt is agreeing with Assange or being a fascist, a claim OP explicitly made, the middle ground has been dismissed.

FTFA:

I think you failed to see the "professor of public health policy" in his title. I would expect a professor of public health policy to understand how to read results of studies and then translate them to public health policies.
Long after PDO was a thing, the official docs still included the old insecure jank.

Is your contention that Google is to blame for indexing them?
I think the real value is the Pi Zero W. Stick them in appliances wall over the house. SSH into them if you like. Send them over the air updates. Program them with the same Linux tools you know and love.

Also, as far as I know there aren't a ton of Pi clones, since it's not fully open hardware. I believe the Broadcom chips in there are pretty closed.

Smango is a platform for people to teach, attend and discover live classes in any area of interest. You can think of it as the twitch for learning.
Yes, when US fabricate crimes,witnesses should you:

- A try to find asylum and fight to bring to light the truth

- B be a retard and trust in the justice system that fabricated the crimes and evidence

- C kill yourself

I understand you prefer Assange should ahve chose B, would you also chose the same if it were you?
Well, that we know of. It's not that unlikely that there are a few hundred more that we don't know about.
Right… in B2B they can help align basically the entire revenue funnel. OP’s view is a bit myopic.
I still feel bad about the image of people towards PHP, but given the amount of bad tutorials and packages that are outdated out there I understand that most enterprise / startup wants to avoid having to code in PHP again.

For the past couple of years I have been working with laravel in a small company, and I really enjoyed it. The environment that it provides honestly is amazing. Documentation is super easy to read, laracast is amazing to bootstrap your knowledge in couple of weeks, and community is huge that you can find almost anything already built by them.

However its hard to find any big companies here that uses PHP, jobs popping up is mostly python, java and c#, thus sadly I have to leave php and learn java / python for the new big tech job (also for my own future). Its not that java / python community is bad, but I'll surely miss the laravel ecosystem.
Yes you do. You install something with all privileges on your system that claims to keep the baddies out.

Hopefully you choose wisely on what to install on your system. Hopefully you even know what is "wise" to install on your system.

If you find out what is wise to use on your system, please let us know.

I saw that same connection myself. Gifts, aka favors, aka "you owe me one", aka debts.

> This gift based economy just sounds like a passive aggressive debt based economy, and it doesn't sound real.

I brought this up initially (near the top of this thread) in response to someone who couldn't imagine an economy without without money. Such things have existed, as per anthropologists.
Why stay in the Bay Area in that case? A good number of tech companies will allow you to work remotely, and even with a moderate cost of living pay cut you can go from not being able to afford a house in the Bay Area to being able to buy a nice house in a great neighborhood with good schools somewhere else.
I don't think so. In Canada (e.g. Toronto), we don't have proper access to pricing data for houses (some kind of real-estate agent monopoly but I don't fully understand it). That lack of pricing data makes things worse.

The threat posture of both networks is quite different. As a user, as you rightly point out, TLS means it doesn't matter to you much!

But if you turn it around and thinks about the problem as a business user, where you have some ancient legacy systems that can't do TLS, you can set up a private APN for authorised users, and connect that APN over a VPN or dedicated private leased line to the insecure service. The mobile network itself has a different set of security assumptions that make this possible.

Client isolation by default prevents other devices from probing your device like they can on a wrongly configured wireless LAN.

The authentication keys to join the network cannot be stolen by a compromised phone or phone firmware. An authorized user can't let another unauthorized user access the network using credential sharing. Swapping SIM into another device can be detected and the join attempt rejected.

Long term authentication secrets sit in hardware protected storage in the SIM and core network - radios and base stations never see long term key material. If you join a roaming network, key material remains secure and the roaming network gets scoped keys that only work on their roaming network.

That's not to say any of this is impossible to do with radius and other systems like 802.1x, but it's the default in cellular. As an end user though, TLS is most probably good enough for you, as you say. Put your DNS over TLS and if in doubt use a VPN. A cellular network will offer you much more protection against ARP spoofing by another client device peer, a sensible modern system won't be bothered by this. It's a different threat model and perspective where cellular is more secure - as an individual you might not be too bothered.
> I assumed that translated to the popular in about the same way as the US

Not quite sure what your suggesting here - I’m having some trouble following your logic.

You seem to be implying that the US vaccination rate problems are because Trump was anti-vax, but that’s not remotely accurate. In fact, during the last presidential campaign it was the opposition who were skeptical of a ‘trump vaccine’.

Trump also got the shot, and encouraged people to get it too - he saw the vaccines as part of his presidential legacy.
Keep in mind there’s a CRO in the Series C plan and that person is effectively a COO less back office.

There’s two issues then - where do you put HR/People Ops and then effectively CFO needs direct communication with HR to properly resource the org.
Here's a few of my reasons:

* Patching/attack surface. I don't want to maintain a full Linux OS, and I expect (hope) that the network stack on something like an Arduino or ESP is both secure by obscurity (I know...) and by lack of functionality.

* Some things are much easier on a simpler chip as well, like bit-banging access to a NeoPixel, due to the lack of a multitasking OS.

* Bootup times on simpler chips are mostly imperceptible. They power up and begin running your code. (Arduino includes a short pause you can remove, or you can bypass the Arduino boot loader entirely and program the AVR directly.) Even the slimmest of Linux distros can't beat it.
AFAIK, At that point in history “kidnap foreigners for their labour” was a feature of every settlement over a few hundred people in size.
Ancedotal evidence suggest insects are indeed disappearing. Driving my car in the 90s I would have to clean off the dead bugs off the front regularly. These days now I only see a few splattered on the windscreen. Extremely worrying and I'm pointing the finger at the new insecticides that the Americans developed during the 90s.
