I would characterize that differently: they are security products — that’s how they’re marketed – but they aren’t perfect and are only effective against certain behavior. That means you can’t rely on them alone for everything but it doesn’t mean they don’t have a security function.

This makes me very sad. How do these individuals look in the mirror? How do they justify the compensation for their work? Why did they do nothing to protect these girls from a predator?
I hear you. Management is one of those areas I have come to truly appreciate.

I just dont think a stint will get you what you need. I guess it depends what is meant by a stint. 6 months - 1 year? I dont think its enough. Your just getting started.

If you go into consulting for the experience my suggestion is plan on a 2 - 3 year stay with a strong start (clients paying you money before you leave your 9to5)

Is there anything spies do that doesn't reduce to or is ultimately in service of blackmail of one kind or another? I'm negative on spy stories these days.

From everything I've read it's just, "find adversary's source of power, co-opt or subvert it, run adversary as your own or neutralize them." Where "adversary" is basically, "everyone" these days. As though their job is to physically embody a foundational lie of state power, and be the provisional wing of bureaucracy. A kind of bizarro world anti-aristocracy that props up a kakistocracy.

Spy fiction is full of self pitying people, and they aren't really admirable or role models, probably because they are created by writers, but it's a real theme. If you spend a great deal of time in bureaucracies and in security you encounter spooks from time to time, and the gross vibe they have is because they appear to operate on deception as a basic premise of all things, and I suspect some are just trained that deception itself is power. One of many tells is they often add a reflexive lie about something trivial so they have something to distance themselves from others with and manage, and as a honeypot for scrutiny. I'm unimpressed by stories about them now, as I've seen the results of tolerating them, and someone should balance the romanticisization of them by calling it what it is: propaganda.
I run a small, free browser-based persistent strategy RPG. We've had a forum for about a decade, and for a time, it was extremely popular.

A few years ago, the usage of the forum began declining significantly. In mid-2019, we created a Discord server for the game, and people started joining immediately.

It's been nearly a year now since there was more than a single forum post per month.

If you want to engage your community, you need to go where they are—or where they want to be. I'm not at all thrilled with the fact that the major out-of-game community hub for my game is now hosted on a proprietary platform still looking for proper monetization, but I am thrilled with how much people love interacting with each other on it. And more importantly, I don't have a realistic alternative to offer them.
The parallels we see in abusers across cultures and institutions likely indicates that this is a dark face of human behavior that needs extreme mitigation strategies (there are documented cases in essentially every institution with a power structure).

There are a lot of ways forward that will improve the lives of children, the biggest hurdle is getting adults to listen and then implement.
You can open Discord in a private window in you browser to get another identity. On Linux, I can also recommend firejail with the --private= flag which allows you to have unlimited instances (well, limited by your RAM).

AJAX was a catch-all term meaning “the page does things without reloading the whole page” if I remember correctly - or that’s how people were using it.
It has basic job control, e.g. Ctrl-Z and fg work. Full job control will probably have to wait for a contributor (I use tmux instead of job control, and job control is very hairy). If the rest of Oil becomes popular I'm sure that will happen.
I never had an instagram account and nerver used it until recently. I had to create and use one for a project I am working on. I was sadden by how generic most of the photo on the service are. Most of them are either black and white with slightly pushed contrast, or high contrast with a shift to either red or blue. Now those are common photo practice but instagram seems to have really standardized them (I guess the filters have a lot to do with that) in a way that make every photo look like the next one. And when there is a human subject, they tend to always use the same kind of "sensual" pose that you could find on the cover of a fashion magazine.

I am definitely sure that in this service use by millions of people there way more originality and diversity than that, but holy molly do Instagram tend to push those very generic profile down your throat and give very little visibility to original content. But I guess thats the issue with anything popular, it tend to aggregate around the most common denominator.
"Shift"?

It's been around long enough that seminar works on management calling the practice out are disregarded by some as outdated just by age

Never work in a job you're not prepared to quit.

The people who talk about their harrowing experiences have had a lot of less harrowing experiences that should have made them quit much earlier if they weren't living in a fairy tale.

I saw it first hand when the head of my school, a woman, started berating me for trying to get into a more 'prestigious' program than the one I was in at the time. The whole meeting was so weird I started asking around for career prospects of high energy physics - two months later I dropped out and moved to be a quant and saved myself a wasted 20s.
That's what's underlying always. But the whole app really skewed my motivations.

Transparency. People in power intent on abusing it can only be disincentivized by the possibility of being outed. Hence why I think it should be legal to record any audio you are privy to. There are far too many places with all party consent laws about recording audio, which only serve to help those with power take advantage of those without power.
Neither, it's just fairly clear to me that this is not the sort of feature that a third party client to a service can typically implement if there is no support for it in the official client (completely separate from this being Twitter).

As another example, Gmail has an "undo" button on sending an email, but other email clients don't (mostly). Why? Because email doesn't have the concept of un-doing a send, so the only way they can implement this at the "protocol level" is to... not, and to implement it entirely in the client with a delay.
People will see what they want to. The fact that they can't identify this is what is leading to their bias.

People just need to be honest with themselves and say they like eating meat and don't want to change.

When it is stated that the American economy is "free-market", I find that to be a non-starter.

Yes, a certain amount of the price of goods and services is determined organically, but the market is by no means "free" in the way that people think it is. It's heavily regulated, influenced by powerful industry lobbies, and substantially dictated by how the federal and state governments want to trade with other nations. It might not be overtly communistic or totalitarian, but that doesn't make it Laissez-faire, and it never really was in the first place.

If we had a free market, then we wouldn't be allowing a small number of corporations to drive down prices, invite regulation, and collude with the press so as to snuff out meaningful competition. Some would argue that this is indeed a free market by the virtue that it is what the market has chosen, but not really. It's hardly different from feudalism.
It certainly seems like this agent was wildly negligent in his duties but I wonder if part of the slow and insufficient response might have been induced by the way in which the CEO handed over the complaint. One of the hallmarks of this case seems to have been large amounts of willful ignorance of the part of USA gymnastics leadership. I wouldn’t be surprised if less than 100% of the full import of the accusations made it across to the FBI from the CEO. Of course the FBI ideally should investigate everything professionally and thoroughly no matter the framing and how powerful the people involved are...
People on this thread are lamenting the loss, but really failing to grasp how much money was spent on a fairly simple thing, and that is for a very narrow audience/use case.

The economics for that are really, really bad and likely the only way it's even good, and that some people know about it is via their funding.

Genius is really not well known outside a demo, and they don't rank hugely well in interactivity.

While there is definitely a 'core user base' and a legit value proposition, it's nowhere near the valuations they were talking.
Medical residency for newly graduated medical doctors is another academic training program where abuse runs rampant.

Basically, the residency program owns you for at least 3 years (often more) and the only protection you have is that you can’t work over 80 hours per week averaged over a 4 week period (gee, thanks).

The issue is that people are afraid to report their hours accurately because if they do the program director will meet with them and ask, “sooo it seems like you’re not as efficient as the other residents [who are all lying to evade the ire of higher-ups]. You really need to work on that, or else you might need to be held back or even dismissed.”

If you’re dismissed, you can’t work as a doctor. No one will hire a doctor without residency training. You’re completely screwed.

There was a resident anesthesiologist at the University of New Mexico who was allegedly raped by her boss. She reported it to the program and was dismissed. She later settled a lawsuit for only 800k, essentially two years worth of salary as an attending (fully-trained) anesthesiologist and she likely only saw less than 100 or 200k of that after lawyers fees, taxes, and paying off her medical school loans (mine are 350k, and that’s only because COVID has stopped the 7% compounded interest rate).

She now teaches anatomy at a community college because no one will accept her into their residency program.

And then people wonder why many doctors lack empathy. It’s hard to have empathy when you’ve been essentially tortured for years until your spirit has broken. Hurt people hurt people.
Some people like a flashy UI, the modern look is important for them. It's ok to have aesthetic preferences, let's not pretend we don't all have them.

No it's not. You don't get to control what how the people of countries treat you and others with this mindset.

It feels like the trend right now is that developers are more expensive than managers. So if they’re a commodity, it’s the most precious kind. If the power dynamic keeps shifting that way though, I bet we’ll see some more like artists and less like cogs in the machine. Maybe not so much artists and more like other professionals.
Why should you choose Decorative Concrete in Edmonton?
If you want to have a pavement or sideway that fits the aesthetics of your house, you can get Decorative Concrete in Edmonton. It comes in different designs that you can find. You can also look on the internet for their designs, such as zebra crossing, marble design, and much more. This way, you can make the right choice. Not only will it provide the strength of concrete, but also a beautiful exterior part of the house.
And very slightly nicer syntax in clojure, at least to my eye (i'm talking about the vector arg list vs list, and i believe the use of a keyword as a function to pull a value from a map is a clojure-ism too.

Both could be added to common lisp though - the vector arg list would be a short reader-macro and my lisp-foo isn't yet strong enough to say how to implement the keyword as a function thing but i'm 100% confident it can be done...)
What kind of logic is this? The people got caught did get caught. It does not indicate all of them got caught.

Also, those people got caught for falsifying one piece of evidence, but it does not mean they only did once in their career. There are just too many things can’t be verified anymore.

Unfortunately, you can’t tweak it to customize the keyboard shortcuts. For any extension (due to the post-2016 API), the changes only take effect for a given tab after the tab has loaded. Which excludes reloading. So there will be noticeable lags where they don’t work.
automation is just going to take jobs and the higher level jobs will be unobtainable by the working class who won't have the income or childhood stability to afford obtain the education necessary for the jobs not taken by automation.

people talk about UBI (which i used to be for, but upon deeper investigation I feel is problematic) and about living wages for the lowest of jobs, but the USA is wholly captured by capital. We have two right wing parties that are controlled by industry. Neither of these things will never come unless its to hold off a violent revolution.
> while also protecting good people from ‘revenge’ unsubstantiated accusations

It's important to note that such accusations are incredibly rare, and that the presence of multiple accusers (as in the Larry Nassar case) leaves little room for doubt.

Of course there have been cases of false allegations of crimes against children (as in the Satanic panic), but those were due to mishandled interrogations of young children, not to adults attempting "revenge."
Saving face at all costs may be a reason, keep up the outer appearance and do business as usual. Cowardly, makes me sad when i think about it.

(edit) Well, i guess it is better for the own career, rocking the boat seems to be frowned upon a lot. Maybe we need to create an atmosphere where dissent is allowed instead of ostracized? Where people are fine with differing opinions. Where we can accept differences. And do the right thing when it is needed. Is it our biological wiring that disagrees? The dog-eat-dog scarcity mindset? The conservative "As long as my car is bigger than the neighbours everything is fine." frame?

I am very familiar with every trick to game the system for more likes (well, upvotes in my case) mentioned in the article.

The right wing have been sending troops and tanks and other kinds of hired thugs out to keep miners in their place and force them to accept pay and work conditions that were often illegal for a long time. Generally with the benefit of hindsight, the miners were in the right.

So its probably ahistorical to suggest that Margaret Thatcher, only attacked the unions because they went too far. Maybe she just wanted to keep the money for herself and her political connections rather than pay the people risking their lives to mine it a fair wage.

What we need now is a search engine that weeds out sites that have been SEO optimized for keyword density.

I’m tired of searching for “generic keyword” and getting a page with an extremely low signal to noise ratio written like this:

“Many people search for generic keyword. That is why you can find all about generic keyword here. In fact we specialize in generic keyword and slight alterations of generic keyword.”

It’s like Google stopped caring that people were gaming it.
