> Are gaps really that much of an issue? What about freelancers, for example? Are they filtered out?

Speaking as someone who alternated between freelancing and full time employment, no.

Simply include the period as another job. You can list the position as 'Freelance Web Developer' or whatever is appropriate, or even 'Sole Proprietor, CompanyName' if you actually used a DBA. Then, as per usual, list notable highlights of problems solved for customers, tech used, responsibilities & regular duties.

It may even be useful to list some accomplishments AS an independent business person (marketing campaigns run to acquire customers, customer growth or churn, NPS, niches identified, MVPs built, subcontractors managed, etc.), for the period, depending on the nature of the position you're applying for.

Lots of companies are pleased to get applicants that have a bigger picture of making a business work, and you might appreciate being able to identify (and eliminate from consideration) the other companies that are just looking for cogs to slot into their machine.
Moxie Marlinspike is a pseudonym. He co-founded of Signal Foundation.

As the article says, pseudonymous does not mean anonymous. The real identity of the person is in the legal documents and known by everybody how needs to know. The fame and credibility the person has acquired has been done using pseudonym.
If they directly stole copyrighted assets you could just send a DMCA request to have it taken down. They didn't do that so this is all probably frivolous.
Patchwork – Collaborative messaging inside Google Chrome
Patchwork creator here!

Patchwork was created after we developed some really cool technology that lets you tag friends inside of web pages (think Google Docs comments for the whole web!)

Send "patches," which are strings of text with messages attached, to other users. Click on patches to get taken to where the message was left. Access the chat inside of the extension window to send messages without ever leaving the page.

Patchwork works for research sprints, collaborative school projects, work group chats, and more!

Patchwork ended up being really fun when we tested it out, so we decided to release it to the world. Check it out and let us know what you think!

This demystifies something that had puzzled me. I got a nice wireless lav setup and I find it very annoying that they use alkaline cells. I thought rechargeable lithium batteries would be nicer because you can always top them up, but in a more professional setting it may be easier to just use fresh batteries every time. Of course using alkaline cells really annoys me because of the waste. Maybe I should get some good rechargeable AA cells, but I much prefer a device which can just be plugged in to charge without having to remove the cells.
the world of lenses have fascinated me since I learned about it after having to research why VR is blurry outside the sweetspot.
I've also heard that parking-lot delivery orders are causing labor issues. If you order a bunch of stuff from the store for curbside delivery, an employee has to spend a significant amount of time doing the shopping for you, likely in addition to their other duties. This is apparently VERY disruptive.

"Public Fit" was maybe bad wording, of course my dev team has no idea this is even happening and i did not waste a minute of their time on this topic. Public only in the sense of "in front of everyone involved in the redesign"

UK banned Huawei because US told us to, former minister
I worked at a company that had someone who acted like this (irrationally stubborn on design choices without providing data or reasons, having emotional tantrums and just generally super sensitive).

I liked the guy -- but everyone started ignoring him and then actively excluding him from all the business processes. Not inviting him to important meetings.

Eventually he got assigned a new project that was shortly "canceled" after and he was let go as being "redundent".

Fortunately, he got 6 months salary for leaving-- and time to find another job -- so I'd say it ended ok in that case.
> there's no data to support your belief

What belief? OP just hates looking at the colors. They've been very clear about that.
What part of the constitution protects the right to trade stocks?
Yes, it's a pretty widely-used term. Eg https://www.thebalance.com/real-estate-market-tiers-5207240

> Anyway, in San Francisco I order food and the driver doesn't move for an hour and a half. I call in to customer support, get another driver and he drives to the other side of the city before coming back and picking up my order (I paid for priority)

Oh wow, that sucks. Not sure how I never experienced that, though when I was in SF I used it a bit less often than I do now (NY). If anything, I would've thought it would be way worse in NY: systems/platforms seem creakier here in general.
If they're known to scam customers, I doubt that their community will take off. People will research you when they offer such sums. You can, of course, start anew, but it will take a lot of work to get back to the reputation level where people are trading 7 digits with you. Getting banned from the forum is more of a gesture, the impact is a lot larger.

Of course, it's a different topic if the decision was against them for clearly unfair reasons.
Flour is sugar, sugar is unhealthy!
I had a problem once but it turned out to be the restaurant's fault (they accepted my pick-up order, marked it as picked up and closed for the day before I got my food - all of this in the span of ~10 mins). I submitted a complaint via the app and Uber refunded me no questions asked. </shrug>
They could have a union to represent {!apple} and negotiate fees down. The threat could be uber and others chuck in a free android phone loaded with their app with their subscriptions!
Going back to "pass the biscuits pappy" and beyond, lowbrow salesmen have employed politics as the highest-risk-highest-reward advertising channel, the biggest risk being you just might win an election.
It sounds like the miner interviewed is realistic about his situation; he took a big risk and lost. I agree that the article is trying a little too hard to be neutral.
But...that's exactly what Go does?
Only if you accept the inherently emotionally manipulative absurd communist definition of "exploitation".

To be frank its economic ideas can only be described as certifiably insane. If I buy a large log from you for $10 and burn it the deal is fair. If I pay someone $100 to carve it into a statue for display or burn it as an offering it is fair. If I sell that statue for $450 suddenly I am exploiting parasitic scum who harmed both lumberjack and sculptor.
Looks like a simple typo (missing a 9 after the first 7). Later in the article the full number is listed.
"While Apple is not considered a monopoly and did not engage in anti-trust behavior on nine of ten counts, Apple’s conduct in enforcing anti-steering restrictions is anticompetitive."

Apple are currently appealing the anti-steering restriction.
I guarantee this is happening in every state in the US right now.
In a world with Amazon Prime, it seems hard to believe people couldn't understand subscribing to get discounts or upgraded service.
The situation is untenable, and as you can see, businesses who aren't scared of Apple are fighting back. Unfortunately, the smaller ones will easily get crushed by Apple and can't finance this sort of push-back without some grass-roots pressure.
Not just impractical, but was fatal. She was demoted until she figured how to make it not fatal.
While working for a US multinational I was given a list of countries that when visiting I have to have a formatted/new/empty laptop at the border.

The list included the US.
The Japanese did plenty. They cancelled festivals and sporting events, switched many schools to distance learning, widely wore good masks, got tested, traced contacts, closed entertainment venues, etc.

The government did not order this. The citizens did it voluntarily when asked to by their government.
The number of comments here saying batteries used to not leak, as if this is some kind of new phenomenon, confuses the hell out of me.

Alkaline batteries have always been prone to leaking and ruining electronics when left in them too long for as long as I can remember (I'm in my 40s).

It's worse in my experience if subjected to extreme temperature swings.

Rechargeables tend to be more robustly made in this department.
This isn't bad. There _should_ be able to be an Epic Store app which sells products without the Apple cut. Since Epic has done all of the work setting up the store and processing payments.

Steam gets their cut by developers listing their games there directly. Epic already has a store app and yet Valve still makes money because the steam store and ecosystem provide value that justifies the cost even when alternatives exist.
I don't understand the sentences that contain "observe and interact".

What does "observe" mean to you? It's a sticky philosophical question, but I think that consistency in definitions is essential.
I've spent the last 6 years advising clients on resumes, interviews, linkedin strategies. Pivoted to supporting companies hiring.

The vast majority of clients did research on the platform and then were "checked out" by employers. The submit by linkedin attempts seemed to go into dark hole. Better to make a contact at the company and/or apply direct if you can.

Tailwind is awesome.

Our CTO is crazy about green, like it's everywhere in our SaaS app.

I setup some env vars so I can swap out some colors to something more palette-able for me when the env is local.

This could be an option for you in local dev and even staging.

I doubt many co-workers are going to understand your aversion.
This article reminded me of years past when I would marvel at the Nokia 6110 and how easy it was to send text messages while exchanging message centre numbers that gave me and my friends the ability to send unlimited messages for free.
Not knowing where the money comes from is pretty normal. Not knowing where the money is going is generally a bad sign.
Good article: Reading the manuals and specs can give you super powers
No way, (1) would annoy the heck out of people. Plus what if you want to just save off your current status and log off for the day..
> the author themselves said in this case, that the reason to submit the malware was to give a "fuck you" to the big corps.

Yeah, so obviously he did want libraries that give a "fuck you" to the big corps (by printing blather in an infinite loop). Then it still can't be "malware" to put that in his own repositories.

And my point still stands: If other people -- you, big corps, whoever -- don't want that, then they shouldn't pull from his repositories. If they do that anyway, then that's still just as much their own fault. Because, still, nobody forced them to.
Just reading this comment makes me inclined to block visitors from the EU from my hobby sites. (Work is compliant; hobby/personal stuff isn’t worth the bother of even reading what Article 3(2) is.)
Facebook fuels Amazon’s fake reviews
I have observed over the years the IT/Tech tends to attract a lot of incredibly literal, grumpy people who do not like it when people take liberties with language.
That's a very fair point, but the smaller businesses probably can't bankroll any legal pushback and Apple can de-platform their App/Service with ease.
I think I recall reading that it bothered Newton greatly that gravity wasn't made of anything, but he decided that it didn't matter.
https://jitsu.com/ maybe
It's pretty clear from the original thread and the reply that the implication is that Postmates was the first to offer subscriptions through iOS without going through IAP, therefore bypassing Apple's 30% cut, not that they "invented subscriptions."
What does facial recognition have to do with it?

> Rust tooling is rather suboptimal

In what way? People seem to really like cargo.
In my fantasy world this is a useful screed.

The world I see is different. You have your dominant companies and their web apps. They set the standard and cultural forces (what's cool, modern, high quality) push everyone to adopt or get left behind (loss of user growth, status, money).

Because we are all competing for attention and dollars, this is capitalism after all, we'll keep trying to outdo each other. And the big kids with the cool toys will set the standards and everyone else will race to keep up.

Cultural forces will indeed change, new tech will distrupt and new players emerge... But the invisible hand will soon be at work again and we'll be writing WASM blackbox web apps with kubernetes and a few blockchains running on on our laptops.

That too will pass, but we'll always be pushing, adding more complexity than strictly necessary for basic needs. It's what the system demands!
I do feel like it's rather mild most of the time.

As I said, I don't really understand it myself. It's very strange to lay awake at night though. I feel like it's triggered by stress, but like... not stress I feel like I even care about. Sometimes my body decides it cares to be stressed but my mind doesn't care.

I'm probably just normal and didn't prepare enough /shrug
How about the surveillance security state that illegally watches over all our moves. I don’t care as much about annoying diaper ads as the way the government illegally snoops into our lives as Snowden exposed.
I've never seen anyone have such strong opinions that seem to completely clash with what I have experienced reality to be. I'd love to see someone that says this take their own advice and build a business based on those principles. Surely if its the best way it will outcompete and outsurvive othets, then we'll have something to replicate.
The Problems the Insurance Industry Faces in a DeFi World, Part 1: Oracles
There is a mention of WireGuard tunnels being point to point. This is true in that there is an encrypted point to point tunnel between each peer; however, the network model implemented by WireGuard is a non-broadcast multiple access (NBMA) model. Similar to X.25 or framerelay. A network model similar to point to point can be implemented via WireGuard by assigning a single peer to a WireGuard interface and adjusting the allowed ips for that peer to include multicast addresses.

The NBMA model is just one of the obstacles one faces when trying to implement dynamic routing over WireGuard interfaces. Honestly it becomes complicated enough that setting up IPsec properly and securely is much less complicated and error prone.
It’s interesting that things differ so much from one region to the next. I’m in the Midwest and everything is abundant, the shelves are full, and you can get pork for $1-2 per pound, usually on the lower end of that range, and chicken at moderate prices. Is shipping the bottleneck here?
Ha, touché.

FYI: I prefer iPhones these days but I spent years rooting android phones prior to that.

I just thought this type of corporate problem is funny.
And one of the seats doesn't recline.
There's also the flip bucket traps which are pretty good. If you want to keep them alive you can otherwise you can put some water in it.
But what about the profit that has already been made? Apple is taking 30% after all.
Say goodbye to that free App Store promotion. Honestly PUBG was all the App Store was pushing when they pulled Fortnite.
This is a case of “too old to be vulnerable”: the exploit only affects log4j 2.x

When I experienced similar situations, it usually was because the big picture wasn't right. Specific small details could irritate me to no end, but they weren't really the source of my frustration.

For me, these situations were resolved by moving on and/or changing some aspects of my life.

Not saying this necessarily applies to you; just something to consider.
Only because technically we have no obligation of any kind to feel anything for anything.

But if a human was being experimented without their informed choice we would have a moral obligation to try to inform them, free them, to enquire about their welfare. What's the basis for thinking it be so different for other animals?

And if you're thinking 'but we can't obtain their informed choice' maybe we have our answer.
iOS safety measures do not rely on the App Store. The whole sandboxing and permissions model is there to protect one app from accessing things it shouldn't.
I get the idea but it is really hydraulic fluid that the robot needs? It doesn't even look like the robot is using hydraulics, or that "containing the spill" does anything except keeping the fluid in the center of the room.

Unless I am missing something, there is no mechanism that actually disables the robot if it fails to keep the fluid in the center. I know it is art, but I think making it real would sell it better.
judgements from the usual court system are enforced by the police, who are authorized to use force - i.e. violence - in the event of non-compliance. this is not a unique feature of the drug trade.
The web scraping ecosystem is growing, with more libraries, frameworks and products available than ever before to simplify our web scraping headaches so the future is looking bright.
Whether Apple is a monopoly that is still to be determined and entirely different discussion. If it is it would have much bigger problems that the one discussed here.

This discussion is about where Apple as a private company has a right to charge 30% for the distribution on its platform and I argue that it has every right to do so.
This is like theoretically true but mostly useless.
There is filtration beyond even HEPA.
For example, MERV-20 is 99.9999% efficient at 0.1->0.2um particle sizes.
It is 99.99% efficient at particle sizes like 0.01um.

The bigger issue is not whether you can get filters to do it, it's whether your system was built for the pressure drop you'd need to do it.

IE UV's advantage is that it doesn't really drop pressure (but does require some dwell time), not that you can't filter air well enough.
> ...but if the evidence stands in contradiction to someone else's opinion, one is not to mention this inconvenient circumstance? That's no way to develop an informed policy on anything, or to become informed in the first place, for that matter!

I am not getting your point here, could you rephrase?

> If you think they do apply, please be more specific.

If my counterparty doesn’t consider the evidence sound, I wouldn’t consider them “confused”.
What’s here to be more specific about? There is hardly any confusion in rejecting a statement that one cannot verify and that came from an untrusted source.

If you wanted a group of people to cease considering your preferred source as untrusted, calling them “confused” strikes me as one of the least effective ways to go about it.

> Ah, an appeal to authority - yours, specifically.

You seem to keep using “appeal to authority” in some other sense. What you replied to was a statement of subjective opinion.

> They can, if they are sufficiently motivated to get to the truth of the matter, attempt to repeat the observations you have described, and, if they find a discrepancy, report it. This is a central tenet of science, with a broad basis in philosophy.

Is it feasible for a civilian to get to the bottom of things in case of a vaccine? How well-off must they be to have the necessary resources and time to get there from first principles?

> The plot of just about every sitcom and farce, and just about every stand-up routine for that matter, must seem bizarre (or at least pointless and humorless) to you.

In that case clarify what you mean by “staples for comedy”. Don’t forget, we’re talking about what people post on social media here, not literary classics.

> To recapitulate, it is the existence of strong empirical evidence for the efficacy and safety of vaccines, which means that when scientists point this out, they are not merely saying the equivalent of "I am right because science is right."

So you claim that I try to ignore the existence of said evidence and relevant scientific predictions. Not really. I’m merely pointing out that, even though I personally consider it acceptable in my circumstances to act as if they were true, they can be erroneous and wrong.
Yeah like Africa? Where else would 100$ buy anything
Checkout Tailwind CSS.

Specifically TailwindUI.com, it's paid but it's modular so you can build pretty much anything with it.

And it's way better to work with than bootstrap was.

It's a little tough to get on board with in the beginning, just give it a chance.

TailwindUI is well worth the money.

You'll have to swap out the default indigo, I usually just swap with gray for new apps till you're ready to expand the design further.

And if something you have does takeoff Tailwind has became really popular so you can easily improve the design in the future.
This does not resemble the way gravity works at all. The balls slow down well before they reach the ground and then suddenly jump up. It looks completely wrong to me.
FDA head says 'most people are going to get Covid' at hearing with Fauci
“Yes and”

- Unless 2.4 and 5 GHz are taken off the standard, my router will see me through the walls.

- At 60 GHz, if I have wifi, my router can see me

- To make our concerns clear to you, even at 125 mm resolution, you can tell if I like my wife to drill my bottom with a strap on. Or you can tell if I piously say my prayers at night (something that is increasingly political). Or if the immigrant next door spanks his kids. Or if his 15 year old daughter is “exploring” her body.

And for what benefit exactly?

So an ad agency can track me and know Im struggling with my diet, hovering over the fridge door?
University of Minnesota too, not long ago replaced their old boilers and main steam plant.
Thanks! I rarely hear from users, great to hear from you!
Good on you for the live traps! I've found that the green plastic live traps on homedepot.com work well (though quite annoying to clean).

Since my last winter with mice I went and got a ton of big thick plastic containers of all shapes and sizes. Helps organize, and keeps out other pests like moths, weevils, ants.
This isn't the first time they've tried this. They attempted a copyright lawsuit against Epic for Fortnite when it came out.

I don't recall all the details but I remember them implying that they owned the battle royal concept.
