I don't think the part where signing the CLA is sometimes not necessary is apparent.
SSNs are generated by a not very secret algorithm. They were explicitly designed to be public information.

You don't need a data leak to get someone's SSN.

Also, malicious actors are almost never targeting you specifically. It is enough for them to

1) choose a birthdate

2) generate all SSNs associated with that birthdate

3) get all employment/salary histories accessible with that info.

4) scan the list for interesting tagets

5) ...

6) profit
You can definitely notice when a Hollywood film has decided to suck up to the Chinese audience, such as with Pacific Rim 2 or Iron Man 3.
Then I'd argue it's bad systemic change.
The last part doesn't work in almost any company where you're not directly working with the owner.

Middle managers can't approve any raise higher than say, 5%, and even that's after a full review cycle.

It's a lot more likely to put a bullseye on your head as "money driven" or something considered negative (yes, the irony is jarring!).
JIRA has a quite good keyboard support once you find the "." (dot) menu: press the . key, for example after selecting tasks or when looking at one, it opens a menu with autocompletion. This feature alone makes JIRA way more bearable for me, you can become really quick once you learn the correct keyword to complete for!
No. I have a notebook, desk, chair and a office room at home. Why should I move to another location just to sit in another office?
I think more than likely the majority of people have either a 1080p or 4K display, and if they do, they are using that resolution both when on their desktop and when in a game.

But if you remember back in the VGA days, it wasn't uncommon to have a game set an 800x600 resolution even though you had a 1024x768 display, so switching in and out of the game came with some delay to manage that.
Same on iOS.

Sad for a blogging platform.
>Both pieces cite a Sky News interview with Gates that ran this week, wherein Gates is asked if it would be helpful to change intellectual property law in order to enable "the recipe for these vaccines to be shared."

> Gates answers, "No," which by itself could be interpreted as him standing up for intellectual property law and refusing to share vaccine formulas with developing nations. But then Gates goes on to answer the inevitable follow up question: "Why not?"

> The reason, Gates said, is due to the complexity of manufacturing safe vaccines.

> "There are only so many vaccine factories in the world, and people are very serious about the safety of vaccines," he said. "The thing that's holding things back in this case isn't intellectual property. It's not like there's some idle vaccine factory with regulatory approval that makes magically safe vaccines. You've gotta do the trials on these things. And every manufacturing process has to be looked at in a very careful way."

> Moreover, Gates said getting COVID vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson to share vaccine formulas has already happened — such as the case with India.

> "We got all the rights from the vaccine companies," he said. "They didn't hold it back, they were participating."
To be fair almost every country does this, for obvious reasons;The main aspects to analyze considering that everyone does this are: how big is your industry and how this directly affects the efficacy of your exported pictures: the reach & perceived reality of your presented truth; and secondly: the degree you distort truth to positively assert yourself.

The second aspect is vastly more important, but then again some people believe in the concept of a 'white lie' or lying for the greater good, which is very dangerous, especially in a world where you cannot be certain that you're the only one who knows a piece of information.And on top of that people who seek to hide the truth or lie by omission often do a lot of worse things than merely not presenting the whole facts.
“[George] Creel urged [Woodrow] Wilson to create a government agency to coordinate "not propaganda as the Germans defined it, but propaganda in the true sense of the word, meaning the 'propagation of faith.'"”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Public_Informatio...

"Creel later published his memoirs of his service with the CPI, 'How We Advertised America', in which he wrote:

“In no degree was the Committee an agency of censorship, a machinery of concealment or repression. Its emphasis throughout was on the open and the positive. At no point did it seek or exercise authorities under those war laws that limited the freedom of speech and press. In all things, from first to last, without halt or change, it was a plain publicity proposition, a vast enterprise in salesmanship, the world's greatest adventures in advertising… We did not call it propaganda, for that word, in German hands, had come to be associated with deceit and corruption. Our effort was educational and informative throughout, for we had such confidence in our case as to feel that no other argument was needed than the simple, straightforward presentation of the facts.”"
The downside is that this clearly signals to the employer that you weren't making very much before and you are fishing for a big raise.

Calling it "fishing for a big raise" sounds like you're trying to scam a higher salary out of an employer. That just isn't true. There's no reason to think you're worth less just because your previous employer sucked.

Salary negotiation is about finding an amount that the employer and employee agree a job is worth. Any previous salary has no impact on that.
Not only programming languages. Tools does this too like GIT.

And that is understandable. But how does one leap from this fact to excusing a non-profit in a country without the underlying problem doing the same?
Pretty much. It’s no different that glorifying Gordon Gekko in Wallstreet.

Michael Douglas on why he doesn’t get why Gekko was an inspiration:

https://youtu.be/I8ruk8wjhuQ

We’re all vulnerable to this. Just here in tech we’ve deified the guy in a t-shirt/hoodie (zucks of the world) or mythical 10x programmers, built up and tore down people like Adam Neumann, all caricatures.

Propaganda works sadly.

With respect to war, it takes observing a war play out to realize how stupid it actually is. It took Americans 20 years of just watching Iraq/Afghanistan to conclude all that nationalism stuff is just not worth it at all. I don’t know how it’s all going to play out in the next 50 years, but I’m pretty sure in the aftermath of any American/Chinese conflict the conclusion of america-bad by the Chinese and China-bad by the Americans will just seem quite silly also.
Speaking of good-vs-evil, do you also see WWII veterans and military history in the same light? They got into war that no one asked for. I cannot imagine if US and allies had lost WWII. It is simply unimaginable.

Aside: I find the WWII era military training/propaganda videos pretty entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QgXuhv7-54
I would welcome a world where copyright restrictions ended 15 years from date of creation as this paper suggests, which would be a huge improvement from the status quo. Sadly the paper only seems to go over copyright.

But take the 3D printer example. Development by my subjective take seemed way more effective without patents. So why have them at all? More people did more work on them after the patents expired. Why have any period of limited growth if there will simply be more growth without the restrictions?

Well, I haven't proven completely that this concept is universally true, but I worry that "playing it safe" and just fighting to keep shorter restrictions is like loosening the rope around your neck when you really should remove it.

And your paper suggests they have a really nice formula ("99% confidence interval") for calculating the optimal term. But how would you calculate the optimal term for patents on AIDS medications during the height of the AIDS pandemic in Africa in the 1990's.[1] How much is each life worth? I question anyone who thinks their formula can calculate optimality on figures alone.

EDIT: I should underscore that there are a lot of natural reasons why someone would be in a position to invest in a particular innovation. We say we love free markets because natural incentives work best. No constraints but the laws of physics. IP restrictions are very unnatural.
Middle managers can't approve any raise higher than say, 5%, and even that's after a full review cycle.

They can ask their boss to approve it though, and if necessary it could go all the way to the top.
I love it!

Especially if in response to some claimed attack on the public logs the company would say, "hah, hah, JK, the stream has been xor'd with /dev/random all along anyway".
I just hope it wont be woke.
You trade questionable readability with readability window size though (also questionable).
Oh, I'm aware. I've had interviewers ask me questions that would make a lawyer wince if they overheard. It being a law should provide some incentives to not do illegal things, even if they are rarely enforced.
That's very useful, thanks.
Have you used it? If so, how was the experience comparing to BB10?

If it's something similar I'd probably consider moving to android
It's a great CV. Very focused on what matters. As you say the CV isn't the most important part, but it shows what you offer now and conveys your many years experience without the noise (e.g. details of what tools/frameworks you were using in 2010 - who cares!)
Stick it to the man! Good answer :)
I agree. It would be impossible to convince her into the first one. And the second one isn't available in here (if it were, I'd love to try it as well).
Can you buy a dataset for your entire company and publish it internally as a fuckyou to whoever disclosed it, or is it a b2b thing?

one graphic that stuck with me, that I saw a few years ago is this one (https://imgur.com/svsB0Ub) (question being: which nation, according to you, contributed most to the defeat of Germany?"

Being German and having Russian relatives the perspective on the war on the continent has always been interesting to me. The sheer scale and brutality of the Eastern front, the war crimes and death (The Soviet Union lost more than 15% of its population!) is astonishing.

I don't think popular media reflects this at all, not even necessarily maliciously or as propaganda intentionally. But that disconnect between the reality, and the recognition of it in Russia itself, has had vastly negative consequences when it comes to other countries trying to understand Russia even today. (and I suppose it's not by accident that in Germany for example, often only elder statesmen point this out)
Anything from Microsoft is at the top of my list. Google isn’t far behind.
Is he... advertising for America in a quote about it? This is some meta stuff.
I'm guessing you are from non-traditional background and work in it somehow. Having a track record is pretty basic when evaluating people for high level positions who have non-traditional backgrounds. Why is this upsetting to you?
Why would anyone pay attention to a CEO saying this when they have such an obvious conflict of interest?
And you can demonstrate that you are worth a higher salary and not accept less.
This reminds me of an old electronic organiser / PDA that was available in the 80s/90s that had just five (I think) keys for typing. Letters were formed by pressing the keys in combination. Skilled users could type very quickly on it.

I can't remember the name of it now. "Jaguar" is in my head, but I think I'm conflating it with the Atari console.

The man of action serenely regards ruin as the most likely possible outcome, mitigates it where he can, and leaps anyway.
Is the issue 'just' that they misgender trans people? That alone is already shitty of course. Or is the issue also that it makes later 'verification' by these agencies more difficult if the recorded gender does not match the apparent gender of the person?

If it's so massive, why aren't all workers at minimum wages?
So this is a prove that immaculate conception is a thing. Such a relief for a lot of women.
This argument always comes up. What makes you think you can... Bla bla bla.

When Google search came, they started their search engine by providing a clean search page with no ads, at a time when all the others had cluttered, ad-filled, shitty pages.

Users picked Google because it was the better experience back then. Today, if a search engine comes along that gives you great search results and privacy, it will become very popular quickly, because a lot of us are fed up with Google and want them to go away completely.
Is there a problem with interesting context?
Try to mute this way 10-20-100 domains in the same time, preferably on mobile. True, you can copy-paste this litany, but the whole process would be a misery.

More of them and more often - but mostly this looks like advertising for the "prepare your land to produce truffles in 10 years" company.
> The Russian military have been in the Crimea since back when there were British red coats stationed in New York City

By that logic, next time there's a protest or riot in NYC the British should send in some Royal Marines.

Russia signed a treaty with Ukraine respecting Ukrainian sovereignty and borders in 1997. It broke that treaty - and international law - in 2014 with the occupation of Crimea.

You could argue Crimea should never have been ceded to Ukraine back when both nations were part of the USSR and you may well be right. But if we start allowing military invasions to correct an injustice because part of a country was made part of another country, we'd have eternal conflict. Ask the Serbians about Kosovo, the Irish about Ulster, the Germans about East Prussia, on and on.
In a lot of elevators rez-de-chaussée is labelled 0. We just don't use that when communicating
A lot of my guilt around my job search is failing the trad "male provider" role and seemingly inherent status anxiety around being a man.

I would feel fine working at 711 and coming home to grind on code. I'm not an atom though. My wife can't pay the rent alone forever and my dog needs to seemingly eat every day. I've gone through this cycle previously before pursuing coding professionally, and this time I at least have the consolation of knowing my next salary will more than make up for my many strings of resigned couch tending.

I'm also now thoroughly convinced that our behavior can be chemically diverted. I don't feel like a piece of shit when I feel sad or unmotivated anymore, just more like a puzzle that's temporarily missing some neuromolecular pieces.
> I'm working my first job out of college and I really enjoy it.

As a (former) tech manager I'd stop right there. I take it as my duty to provide guidance, by means of code reviews and frequent discussions about code and architecture, naturally if the developer wishes so - usually something i ask for during the interview process for early career candidates. Furthermore I encourage the team to help in a friendly meaningful manner. Although it is the duty of the employee to try and brush up their skills (as their current job will not be the last, and training on the job for a specific job doesn't do magic for one's career) it is also our duty (those with a bit more experience) to pass on the torch. Of course there is nuance to everything.
Not really in the spirit of open-source, though, is it? Throwing bug reports over the wall feels icky when it should take the same amount of time to send a PR.
Americans love that stuff though, it’s not necessarily propaganda forced down our throats. We’d still want to see the badass, all American commando on a 100 kill streak.
And the front line critical infrastructure are out doing their jobs. Change your career and get outside!
Yup. I wish these were required in every business and public space, similar to fire extinguishers. Or even in every car, part of the mandatory first aid kit (I'm talking Europe here).

I think this is a chicken&egg problem: such requirement would be expensive initially but as the production of AED scaled up prices would drop.

Obviously training is required too, I'm not sure how feasible it is to get large fraction of population trained...
in a hypothetical world where your life depends on one company why would you lie about something that they can easily verify?

in the real world your life is unlikely to depend on the answer to this question. you can always say " i require X" in response to the question and if they probe more decide whether or not your situation requires you to divulge the extra information. i interview people regularly (and i don't ask about salary) but if i found out that someone flat out lied to me in an interview that would be a straight up pass/recommendation to fail a probationary period from me. i don't want or need those relationships on my team.
This is the sort of finding that would normally come out of a stage 3 clinical trial. It's going to be interesting to look back at the effects of these vaccines over the coming years. It's unfortunate that the regulatory trials lost their control groups so early, but it seems unlikely at this point that the control group on a population scale is going to be eliminated.
Usually, I solve this by making it the only thing on my list that day, and clearing as many hurdles as possible the day before. This can mean anything from preliminary googling to cleaning up my workspace and taking out the required tools.

This means that on the fateful morning, it’s the first thing I do after making coffee. No checking emails, no small chores, just a shower, coffee and getting to work.

I read somewhere that a lot of procrastination is fear of failure or fear of the unknown. Sometimes tackling the latter is the best way to start. I circle the problem late in the evening when there is no pressure to start working. I just read, take notes and draft plans. Making it easy to get started is sometimes the best first step to take.
I don't know anything about running a country but propaganda is something everyone does because it makes sense. Can't blame them.

I always (as an adult) assumed the countless war movies and cop TV shows are just that.

That said, a few years ago I stumbled upon some hideous cover of Offspring's gone away. Someone had turned that tune into a cheesy pop tune and made the video about young beautiful housewife and mother getting informed that her darling was killed in line of duty. No way some music production company just decided to do that on its own. Man, it was bad
Sorry for having "someone is slightly wrong on the internet" syndrome, of course it does not change your point about an overly broad patent.
>Another country that comes to mind is India - but I've never been enough of a Bollywood fan to be able to make any assessment on this topic.

Curious why India came to mind especially if you are not able to make an assessment of this topic as you put it.
> It's impossible, people are not rebelling after being forced in their homes for two years

Did you ever get the news that the world went through a pandemic and millions of people lost their lives? We all hate being cooped up at home but what's the alternative? What did you expect the governments to do when they had no other solutions?

When you talk about good countries, please remember that their citizens make them so. If you ever happen to move to one of these "good" countries, please remember that these societies are built upon a collective realization that rights come with a set of moral duties and obligations towards each other. By staying inside, we bought old, sick and immune-compromised people some time till a vaccine arrived.
I think it's absolutely fair, especially when the organisation of it goes to the literal heart of government.
From what I recall at my time there, banks use it as supplemental source of creditworthiness validation. The government also pays for the data to verify eligibility for welfare and other social services. Employers...I don't think were a major revenue source although I wouldn't be surprised if some used it to inform their salary thresholds.
I would advise not to make a big deal about it. Someone who looked at the project from far away made bad comments on it. This is actually very common. When things start working and sell, all this is forgotten quite quickly and life goes on.

Your boss feels like he has to act as a customer to his engineers. I am not sure this is the best way to manage engineers. Anyway take this for granted and act as a supplier towards him: defend your work, the team, blame unclear and changing requirements, hide your work from scrutiny and claim you will improve processes and communication, remain positive but vague on details.
I would buy this on a t-shirt, 'Fully vaccinated and boosted three weeks ago, caught it anyway.'

Does anyone else still believe the shots prevent infection or transmission?
Reinforcement learning is a better idea for games.
It is a pretty bold offer considering how completely awful their data security turned out to be after their enormous data leak. How are they able to stay away from law suits?
If they would operate in Europe, they would be fined tens and hundereds of millions USD in each country for publishing such private information...
On a related note: Audio virtual assistants, think Alexa, but more so Google Assistant, which are essentially glorified chatbots, are getting dumber in my arguably subjective experience: Phrases that used to work do not work anymore, only to be replaced with more obscure phrases. Simple information that worked earlier (When is sunrise? 7:13am!) now is being moved to third-party websites, which then don't deliver that information at all. Google Assistant only has the full feature set if my cell phone's system language is set to American English. Three out of four times GA answers with a variation of "I don't know, but I constantly learn".

GA was sold to me as "essentially an early version of Star-Trek-TNG-style computers, and we're improving on it's feature set constantly by using ML". What it is is an unreliable alarm clock (won't wake you if the Wifi's gone), a glorified voice-activated light switch and a constant source of frustration.
You don't have to, because irl it's:

But yeah, things like this you have to know in advance anyway.
This is great.

I am sitting in an Airbnb in Chamonix wondering where has good sunshine for skiing today?

Now I know.
> The other country that is doing this at Hollywood scale is China

The difference being that while state propaganda has infected Hollywood it does not wholly control Hollywood. You’d be hard pressed to find any rough equivalent to Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, All the President’s Men, or The Post etc in China.
I cringe every time I hear the US president being described as the leader of the free world, as if there were 2 specific sides and USA were leading it and as if USA was an advocate for freedom.
