"Just be normal. Is that really so difficult to be?"

No, she doesn't like extroverts, and saying that is socially unacceptable, so she's going all "black vs white" instead.

Look at the comments along the lines of

"everybody did their own thing, did their job, and went home." (I love that kind of working environment, its unfortunately rare to have a professional working environment)

"I remember asking if we could do other outings that didn’t include beer and getting voted down." (despite not being a black woman, I feel exactly the same way as she does WRT this topic, so I suspect her and I would get along great, other than the whole we're both apparently introverts so getting along great would mean sitting silently, very happily, with each other)

There is an anecdotal aspect to her argument. As a white dude I've met and worked with a lot of really weird white dudes over the decades, and thats apparently ok. She met ONE weird white dude, ONE!, and that's a big problem solely because she's a black woman. I'm not impressed. I'm not saying weirdos are good or correct or shouldn't be punished, but I am saying that trying to portray weirdos as as "a black women problem" is extremely inaccurate. They are a PITA for us all, or there exist PITA weirdos that affect every ethnic or social group. And to be honest, management and HR are utterly ineffective at weeding out weirdos regardless if the people offended are white dudes or black women, which is fairness, in a way.

I'd argue that dealing with weirdos is an adult social skill. So a long time ago I sat next to a guy with a severe temper problem who would scream at me occasionally, usually just nonsense although sometimes I admit I'd provoke him a bit. Well, it was not exactly paradise, but I'm a big boy so its "OK". It did freak out people who weren't as tough as I was, which I found amusing (You're the one who's freaked out while I'm the one sitting next to him?) The ideal social interaction system might be all candy and balloons and girl scout songs all the time but adults can and should handle something a bit worse, a bit more realistic. Toughen up, basically. She is apparently under the mistaken impression that no weirdos ever bug white dudes magically because we're the oppressor, and that is quite inaccurate.
Well, the project for the kernel features is the same people, but I don't think it is really named "lxc", its just patches for Linux. In the kernel they are just called "namespaces".
The US tech industry as a whole has shot itself in the foot by being suspected of complicity with US spy agencies in providing back doors and overt assistance. Any government or enterprise that values autonomy relative to US policies would avoid US tech products.
This is why multiculturalism will never work. People are most comfortable living and working with similar people who look and think in similar ways. It's human nature and no amount of diversity brainwashing can overcome it. Clearly she rightly feels like an outsider in the white male group and even would if every white man made the maximum effort to be "inclusive". And the white men naturally felt uncomfortable with a black women in the group. In the current political climate it's not possible for people to admit their true feelings on the matter without being instantly labelled an "ist" (racist, sexist, etc.) but we can only go on denying human nature for so long...
I have one issue with Picturelife: it doesn't adhere to folder structure. A more minor one would be folder monitoring on iOS, but I can set something up with IFTTT to work around that.

Aside from that the service is wonderful and I'm really coming around to it. I want them to succeed and I hope they do.
Many of the physical jobs also require a lot of critical thought. There is a reason why accident rates go up significanly the more hours people are forced to work.

The difference is not that office jobs require more critical thought, but that physical jobs tend to produce actual value, and tend to produce value that is more easily measured.
Former Facebook intern here. Facebook the company is a lot more 'hack-y' in the right way of the word than what it looks like on the outside. The company and its products are extremely open, and the projects you do working there have extremely little management and corporate bs.

My experience was really similar to my Google internship, and probably even closer to a "cool startup". I know several people who worked on Google, Facebook, and X (with X another major Silicon Valley company) and say that the first two were a lot closer to each other than to X.

The answer is individual. Build skills in your spare time that will let you switch jobs, industries, and fields until you are in an environment where you can grow.

Then, once you're there, have side projects. Do personal stuff on work time. Spend less time working and more time thinking. Use your expertise to extract the time you need. Remix and refactor the insights you get from the stuff that you do. Network and build up a support group that will help you when it's time to spread your wings.
Have you looked into Picturelife? Their pricing is competitive and it has easy album sharing.
I assume that Mr. Baker is a competent attorney, well-versed in the subject.

But the rhetorical device he used, attempting to pin the demise of Blackberry on their choice to encrypt, is found waiting.

Blackberry was defeated by market forces, not a willingness to encrypt user data. The iPhone and Android changed the firmament in the market where Blackberry had been dominant.

His attempt at using this aside, his use of "law enforcement needs access" is also found wanting because the NDA, GHCQ, etc are not law-enforcement.

Sarbanes Oxley was created to prevent executives from looting their own companies (a la Enron) and then feigning ignorance and blaming their underlings when everything blew up.

The reason why it seems to be ridiculously onerous is because it gives the government the power to slam execs in jail if they do not have sufficient control over the company.

It's executive bullshit that ruined your day, which is caused by executive paranoia about going to jail which was caused by executives who stole from their own companies.
That seems like a horribly stressful way to work.

It also reminds me of 'the Feds' from Snow Crash for some reason.

Even a half-acre neatly mowed. I don't know if it beats a library debugged and turning over 50,000 calls per second, but at least you can look at the other ones, see the whole expanse of what you accomplished laid out under the sun.
Started using Brackets a couple months ago as I'm on a contract that requires me to work on a client's hardware rather than my own. Killer feature for me has been the inline CSS editing from html. Particularly as I'm stuck using a single monitor atm, this is nice as it lets me keep my css generally hidden instead of concurrently displayed as I often do in other editors.

Has it worked? I'm not supporting any opposition to SOX, however we all know of many processes that offer no real checks or value, but we have to do it...just because why not, you're getting paid for it. In the case of SOX and the like, the argument can be "well everyone else has to do the same illusion of control work, so the drag is similar".

Most businesses are filled with processes that everyone knows are done for absolutely no value to anyone, but we do them anyways and they absolutely sap our soul.

It's false dichotomy that you either get it or you don't. People will access things according to their ability. Where to draw the line on being inclusive? If some has genuine curiosity and motivation to ask a question and learn, then providing a few lines of overview doesn't clutter the board much and can be a positive contribution.
Having worked construction jobs, a lot of it is waiting. Waiting for someone else to finish their job, waiting for materials to arrive, etc. While it could sometimes be non-stop (once what you were waiting for is done, now someone is waiting on you), even then you'd pace yourself. No one goes all out for 16 hours.
Exactly the position I am in now. After a couple of years I am looking to move on but I am finding that no one needs the experience I have. Everything I have done for my current company is desktop development and the vast majority of the nearby jobs are web development. Companies these days don't want to hire anyone who can't hit the ground running so it's a rough situation. Better to get out now than many years from now though.
There's been a few React animation experiments (including my own: https://github.com/chenglou/react-tween-state), but I think there are two main problems here and this library, albeit nice, is mingling the two:

- Actual transition API (e.g. fade in over a period of 1s while moving in from left). Interruptible and composable. My lib and most libs I've seen are geared toward this.

- API for transitioning in/out and moving around. This is the actual hard part that TransitionGroup is trying to tackle. How do you express an "animating out" API (that's also interruptible?) when the item doesn't exist anymore at the next render? Can you stop the component from unmounting midway, and potentially bring it back through an "un-unmounting" API? I haven't seen a library that actually tackles this problem. We can debate about a good API all we want for animation but as long as this problem isn't solved, the whole animation problem isn't imo.

These two are separate issues. Ideally I think you should pull out the velocity part and create a wrapper API around it, and solve transitioning in/out independently.

(I'm actively searching for solutions, so please ping me in #reactjs if you have good ideas. Here are a few messy ones to begin with: https://gist.github.com/chenglou/40b75d820123a9ed53d8).

Unfortunately it's not enforced. Obama could slam half of the CEOs of Wall Street in jail with Sarbanes Oxley violations for wilfully looting their own firms exactly as was done to Enron, but he made an executive decision not to (a quick glance at who pays Clinton's $500,000 post presidential speaking fees might give a hint as to why).

Unfortunately the lack of any real enforcement means that it hasn't been all that successful.

That doesn't mean it's a bad law.

I'm a Non-mormon nerd who grew up in SLC, too. I felt the same way, with kids asking me which ward I attended, etc. I've wondered how much of it was from group differences and how much was from personality differences. It may be telling that none of my friends were Mormon (except for one whose parents were Jack-Mormon). There was definitely a sense of exclusion when I lived there, at least on the part of the kids.

Living in Florida now, where LDS are a small minority who are perceived as wholesome, friendly, peaceful, quaint, and somewhat like a more modern version of the Amish. People laugh when I tell them I was beaten up by groups of Mormon children. Being a minority of any type is tough.

BTW, if you lived in the Aves, or attended Horizons or EQUIP in the '80s, I might have known you. There couldn't have been more than a few hundred non-Mormon nerds in the valley, I think.

Guns, racial separation, extreme anti-liberalism and, to some degree. It's also a place that fosters people being proudly ignorant. Anywhere that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are so popular just freaks me out.

A quick story:

I was visiting in 1999 because my step mother was ill. She was at the hospital at Duke. Everywhere I went in the hospital the cleaning and cooking staff was black and everyone else was white. At least in the area I was in. I was hanging out in a lounge area once and there was a group of older guys. One was telling a joke and used the N-word several times. A few feet away there was a black guy cleaning the floor. It seemed like a skit in some comedy show. I looked around and no one gave a shit but me.

Everywhere I went in the hospital, when I would encounter black people, they would never look me in the eye. Always their eyes were down and they called me "sir." I was like 34 and no one had ever addressed me like that. And, living in the Bay Area, I had never witnessed people of color being so deferential. It was shocking.
This could be a cool way to visually "encrypt" messages. They're readable, but only by the correct tool. I wonder how these squiggles might be creatively arranged steganographicly in an image and still be "read" by the OCR tool.

> How can the voters exert punishment when who's even running for office is determined by the amount of money available for campaigning?

There are a few issues I have with this statement, hence I decided to slice your post. I hope it is ok. Here is what I can't agree on:
1. From the very sentence above my understanding is that you notice something very important here: is it that in your opinion democracy doesn't work? You see this point you make isn't about capitalism. It's all about Democracy. Your claim here is that (sorry for vulgar interpretation): democracy doesn't work because I see elections after elections that voters vote for guys with most money for the campaign. But that's issue with democracy. Not capitalism. As long as money exists, rich&poor exist -- democracy won't be perfect. I take different view than that on this. I think you need more than just money to kind of "cheat" in democracy. You need stupid populous too. You need dumb people who care just about 6-packs and entitlements. So whoever promises them the most for the vote casted, gets elected. And then that gets funded by cheap credit, forever low interest rates (FED) and public spending. No wonder both parties do the same. This is late stages of democracy though. Not issue with capitalism. Last time I checked capitalism worked fantastic for a country - namely China -- but without the fallacies of democracy.
2. You are not the only one who notices that. US Government noticed that as well. And compared to China, it seems democracy and capitalism aren't as effective as authoritarian system and capitalism. It's not only China. Look at South-East Asia in general. If you ask, why we have more militarization of police, huge prison population, NSA eavesdropping, etc, etc -- it's all about the elites in the US seeing on the example of China that democracy doesn't really work.
3. Another issue with the statement: would you voted for Hitler given he had the most money in elections in 1933 ? Right, democracy isn't idiot-proof. That's the real problem with it. You can't really let 6-pack-joe voting, that's idiotic notion. Again, nothing to do with capitalism.

>Add to that the fact that no ordinary citizen directly voted for the bailouts, how can you blame this on the voter? The problem is not the voter, but the system.

Democratic system that is. Ordinary citizen not knowing how to vote. Poor idiots. Almost like Jews voting for NSDAP. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). Your disbelieve in American voters is mind blowing! The distrust in democracy horrifying!

EDIT: voted <-> voting ; stop <-> help

A properly written vmm/hypervisor should have no attack surface. This won't be that since there's a rest api on LXD, which is one attack surface.

DoS is still a problem but containers should provide mitigation for that. You can make the vmm prevent DoS, but it's better to keep the vmm small and light.

As for local kernel privilege escalation, yes, it would still run, but it might not matter. In theory, the VMM can isolate all virtual machine resources such that rooting a VM only gives you that VM. I can't figure out how they extend that protection to containers yet since VT-x was made for full virtual machines and containers share a kernel.
> The only answer is to decouple them, and introduce something like basic income (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income)

Or finding work for these people that is a lot more useful for the society.
As always the written word is open for interpretations and that statement is no exception.

What I read from that statement, and knowing a bit about the author's background and sharing much of the same political ideas myself, is that it's in the interest of the ruling class that people do not have much time on their hands to actually start enjoying not working. Unemployment, and retirement for some, would clearly be more managable if friends and family were not working so much. Just to discover a way of life that's not centered around working. I also think that a working class with more time on their hands would inevitably become more organised with increased class conciousness as a side-effect.

So basically the idea is that less working time may be a "slipperly slope" that goes against the interests of the ruling class both in the short-term and even more so in the long-term.

The second statement is, as I understand it, that this is not driven by some organised unit of capitalist but rather by the idea that the higher classes are more aware of what is in their interests that no central organisation is needed.
