It's a story. For a minute try to take it as it is; a story about bears and foxes and let's try to distinguish if the bears are treated justly.

The point is to establish common ground. If we can't agree about what is just within the boundaries of our fictitious little story we'll have little hope to agree of what is just in the real world.
Science, the Endless Frontier
You're not going to have much political influence ("travel") if you don't have readership.

TNR has been floundering for an ideological voice since the end of the Cold War, and took quite a few hits to its credibility under Peretz. Readership was down for a reason.

A sympathetic view would be that Hughes wanted to go for a technical solution - invest in TNR's digital presence - rather than completely purge the staff as Peretz did in the 1970s. Too bad the effect was the same.
I hope you're not referring to Brendan Eich, because he was not fired: he left Mozilla of his own free will, in spite of the board's request that he stay.

It was his non-apology apology and his stubborn refusal to transparently and honestly explain and justify his actions, which did the most damage to Mozilla and his own reputation.

He decided on his own to leave Mozilla, because he didn't believe he owed anyone an explanation of why he paid to destroy other people's marriages, and that wasn't compatible with leading an organization dedicated to openness and inclusiveness. That's not getting fired.

I think you should be more worried about the politically incorrect right wing religious zealot hate machine firing people for watching porn, not the "politically correct machine" that you wouldn't put it past.
>The worst part is that the people who are in control of really fixing these things and the entire system itself don't seem motivated enough to do so

I did this for a while a few years ago. I'm not adverse to fat and so I was all in on the butter. Bought a little hand blender/frother from amazon and went all out for about a month.

First off, the Aero Press didn't really impress. I got rid of it - it just wasn't worth it for me. I could never make it 'work', coffee was always thin.

As far as the Bulletproof coffee, it was too 'light' for me. I know Dave was talkin about making a darker roast, but at that time his roast didn't really appeal to me. I was doing French, Italian, or Espresso roasts via drip funnel for a while and I had it down pretty good. I felt like I had a pretty rich and big flavor, but I was willing to try the low toxin approach. Didn't hold me for very long.

Also, Dave says he can thrown down multiple cups of this stuff and after the first cup (I would even thrown 1/2 stick of butter in), my stomach was not happy.

I get where he is going with all this. I've been to Tibet, I've had yak tea, I've had Chai in India, etc and the Bulletproof method just didn't do it for me.

But back to fat. I've actually moved to a high fat diet (more or less). I don't do anything low fat. I do veggies and meats and for the meats, I want the fat. My morning always consists of some sort of fat - only grass fed butter with eggs, full fat yogurt, etc - and it works for me. Nothing processed, whole foods only.

For my coffee I love Weavers. They have fair trade organic and their French roast is really good. Prob one of the darkest roasts I've tried that just has this really killer smooth, nutty flavor. I use whole cream and a little sugar. I love it.

My weight has pretty much stabilized. I'm not super lean, but I'm not super lardo either. If I hopped back on my bike, I could prob drop 20lbs in a few months. My LDL checks in at normal and my doc said nothing is crazy out of balance.

Everyone has theories and Dave's are interesting. I guess it just boils down to trying different things and seeing what works.
I didn't down vote, but the inherent bias in the test is a possible reason but even with that factored out, the relevance is a more reasonable objection. We're not talking the difference in between being able to grock quantum physics or not, we're talking a few questions on the exam. And IQ happens to be a pretty sweet bell curve, so if you're an average white guy, then you're still dumber than 49% of the black guys out there, and dumber than 54% of Chinese guys.

So we should give up on Africa because the average black guy didn't answer the 2 train question correctly? Should we also give up on Europe and North America because the white guys didn't answer that correctly either?

The use of this stat, were it even possible to be accurate, really only serves racists. No meaningful outcome could result from the number.
I also recommend "Evolutionary Psychology: A Critical Introduction" which echoes many of the themes in "The Selfish Gene" from a different perspective.
I don't think he's proposing a micropayment system, more like a universal system to keep track of who worked on what song.

I think he's saying Katy Perry sends a song to Spotify along with a bitcoin-type address and at the end of the month they send the payment to that address, which divides it up between all the writers, producers and rights holders.

Why would you link to some third party javascript if you could tag it with an sha256 hash?

The idea of third party javascript hosting is to make caching across sites possible. But the hash is a better way to do that. And unless your visitors are all international, they're going to have a better cache miss experience.

> A regex benchmark doesn't tell you much of anything…

And yet, the programs don't all perform the same.

One regex task doesn't tell you much of anything because so much can be different with a different task. Then again, people are usually surprised by V8 and Irregexp.

The GHC version has been updated so many times since the last programs were contributed, that I hope the code would look better if it was written to use the latest greatest Haskell.
It was a nightmare for me and several other local users on SuSE/openSUSE as well, so I think we're down to just Debian and Mandriva as major distros of that period that might not have had serious issues (Slackware was very conservative about integrating it). I suspect @adestefan used other distros minimally if at all and got lucky as far as PulseAudio went and I'm a bit envious. Problems with PA were a frequent topic in our LUG for 3-4 years and only a fraction of that was distro devs testing it early. Really they should have just used "PulseAudio: More powerful than OSS and more stable than Flash!" as the slogan.
Where can I find out about what information is monitored (ie the Event ID information.)
The free version doesn't come with wild card. So if you run multiple stuff off your VPS you will have to upgrade. I currently use self-signed certificate for everything except when I serve content to public I switch to http.
That sounds like a fun hack, thanks! Wonder if it will work, will play with it later. :) Do any clients have it on by default?

Identifying white and black keys
Yesterday we added two improvements to www.ripbeat.com
1. Blocks that belong to white keys are colored with a lighter color shade than blocks that belong to black keys.
2. White key blocks are thicker while black key blocks are thinner.
This combination of changes will allow you to easily differentiate if a block in the piano roll belongs to a white key or to a black key even when the block is far from hitting the piano keys.
Go and check it out.

I joined Google after being at a big, soulless enterprise software company.

Google is not the same. However, it is undeniably a big company. If you want to be at a startup, it's not the place for you. But it does "big company" better than most. We are treated amazingly well, we are well compensated, and we are surrounded by smart developers (all pretty unusual for bug companies).

And, in general, people have a pretty wide latitude in heat they do -- especially engineers. And if you get tired of a particular project, movement between teams is encouraged.
Everybody is trying to make a buck out of selling magic potions.
Recursion is a tool. It can be misused, but it is just a tool. And sometimes it can be very useful.
It doesn't just make housing more expensive.

1) It creates a supply-side surplus for labor, which lowers the value of labor, which

2) Causes people to be paid far less, and

3) Causes people to have to work harder to keep their jobs, thus

4) Causing the greatest slowdown in wage growth ever, with record-setting productivity numbers

I don't have any data on it, but my supposition is that most households have at least one, if not two individuals working jobs they would rather not be doing, but have to for financial reasons.

A basic income would solve this problem by taking workers out of the system who would rather be doing something/anything else, all the while, jacking up the cost of skilled labor immensely. A wild ass guess? By 3-4x, judging from trends before wage increases flatlined.
As much as I'd love that (seriously, not advertising per se of course but most types of cross domain tracking), something tells me that initiative is not going to originate from the Chrome team...

This is the perfect example of the "it's not germans is that Germany is better" meme that permeates the German culture directly from the words of a German guy :).
The hidden implication is that Germans engineers are better because they grow up in a better environment.
I'll leave it to you to judge.
Let me just add a small note: it's not uncommon to see IT companies in Germany employing a lot of people from Eastern European countries.
"OOH man, we have all these tools that no one understands anymore! I know, let's make a tool to abstract this away!"

git hooks are another option, as are shell aliases, SCM integration, CI/CD systems, etc. This seems like yet-another-layer-of-abstraction to cover for bad / misunderstood / underutilized abstractions under it.
If this is all it takes to demoralize you, don't go into gaming. I put it off for years myself because of the EA spouse scandal in 2004. When I graduated, I went into web development instead. Years later, I had a convenient opportunity to work at a gaming company and only stayed in the industry for 3 years.

When people say only work in gaming if you can't imagine doing anything else, they mean it. The work is hard, the hours are long, the people are "colorful" and most gaming companies are completely disorganized, even by startup standards. Read "masters of doom" and realize what is depicted in that book is practically industry standard, including the egos, yelling, screaming and off-color humor. Some see those things are a bonus. Some don't.

The upsides are the technical problems and the coolness factor. To a certain extent, gaming has ruined me for web development. After coding a solution to efficiently visualize an EXPLODING PLANET, it's hard to get excited about creating yet another social network.
There's a reason for that. :|
Cato Inst – Bitcoin Will Be Displaced by Cryptocurrencies with Superior Features
I'm not sure if the question is if they're unreasonable people. I think it's more where they want to take the publication:

“vertically integrated digital-media company”

and

“We also have to do videos. We also have to do interactive graphics. We also have to be increasingly smarter ... about how we use social media.”

That's completely at odds with what the publication was, and with the reasons long term staffers worked for it. If I was working for a digital media company and it suddenly wanted to be a print only magazine, I'd look for work at another digital media company.

Or, if I'm a die hard low level C++ coder with a deep understanding of the language working at the same company for 20 years, and now suddenly that company wants me to write html templates and javascript glue code for web framework x.

> Just about the only useful takeaway from this article is: don't try to manage a politically sensitive situation by video conference.

More like don't expect your staff to stick around if you shift your company into something that they hold disdain for, have not much experience in and have no desire to have experience in.

A bunch of people leaving at once looks similar to groupthink, but in this case I think it's only correlation, not causation.

It would be interesting to administer these algebra tests to junior/mid/senior level programmers currently in the field.
As i said, on average. For every company that tries to copy the american outsourcing model and ends up with a crap heap because they're too cheap to pay for good code, i've seen two that actually care.

Also, i don't get where you get the "hidden implication" bit from. I'm outright stating that it is a fact that while german engineers may not be better people, or developers, or engineers, they have a lot of advantages pushing them beyond peers from less fortunate countries.
I guess that frying pan should've been placed on a fire instead :p
Oh well, I always get Danish and Dutch confused. And I'm Danish!

The Netherlands is also pretty Scandinavian for a Benelux country.
>Fat has a lot of calories but it doesn't produce an insulin response

So? Why are people so fixated on insulin?

>isn't digested nearly as quickly as carbohydrates, so it keeps you satiated

And yet potatoes are the highest satiety food. The whole "fat is filling so you eat fewer calories and lose weight" thing is just a hypothesis that was put forth to explain why people eat fewer calories on low carb diets. It is not fact.
Yeah, I tried the same and came to same conclusions. Someone who knew what they were doing could implement a new-k impl from the lang def on kparc. That is all you would need. Alas, I am not that guy.

There was an article a while back questioning the oft-parroted "kids this generation are wizards of technology" along similar lines; while young people now /use/ more technology vs 10-20 years ago, it doesn't mean that they understand HTTP or file systems or distributed computing at a higher percentage vs back then. Would love if someone had a link to that article.
Hm, I like subdomains more than url stubs. I like more 'atmosx.github.com' than 'github.com/atmosx'. So I like having mail.domain.com, www.domain.com, ftp.domain.com, shop.domain.com, blog.domain.com, etc.

But I don't think it's such a big deal. Especially if you're not planning to use all these subdomains... Then http://domain.com is more than fine, as long as you setup a rdr.
But in actual tests, potatoes are the highest satiety food by a wide margin. Frying them makes them less filling.
That's pretty horrible (about the expiration). What brand was that? I wouldn't be surprised to see pod-based coffee machines go the same route (e.g. Keurig).
Sounds like an opportunity for a startup if I've ever heard one.

In Roberts' theory it's crucial to avoid taste or smell at the same time, while the time of day you take it doesn't matter -- so this wouldn't be the same, unless you drank your coffee with a noseclip on. I wonder if anyone does that.

If we could simulate human cells completely, we could try to simulate an embryo's initial formation and see what falls apart if you remove various sequences.

Besides that... we need to understand how a cell recognizes its purpose in its local environment - some kind of local communication probably. If we knew what the various environments that control cell responses are, we would have the basis for something like unit tests... and then we could try randomly removing parts of the DNA and see if its failing to perform as expected or not.

> With this proposal, there really are no small scales.

That's not my understanding from the article. For example,

"There are lots of experiments that will tell us something useful about the risk and efficacy of [geoengineering], and these experiments are so small that their physical risks are negligible."

He's not suggesting launching right into full-scale geo-engineering, but rather to start with small-scale tests and related research.

It doesn't exclude "idiomatic" versions, but the data is presented so as to make them useless. How do I compare "idiomatic" rust to "idiomatic" haskell? All you can get is "here's the fastest versions from each language". If you want to compare any other version you have to do it on an individual basis, one at a time. So there's absolutely no reason for people to bother adding "idiomatic" versions.
> We know that people do not generally perceive the absence of a warning sign. Yet the only situation in which web browsers are guaranteed not to warn users is precisely when there is no chance of security: when the origin is transported via HTTP.

That is a very strong point. User perception of the browsers' current UX treatments of the various security scenarios poorly represents the true level of security. An insecure HTTP site (no warnings) looks safer than an HTTPS site which happens to reference a single non-HTTPS image (mixed content warning). The absence of a warning for the HTTP site is not fair, because despite the mixed content, data submitted in a web form to the HTTPS site is still encrypted, yet the UX treatment affords it less trust.

Separately, how should Extended Validation (EV) certificates fit into this plan? Especially after the final proposed transition phase, T3: Secure origins unmarked. Personally, I think EV certs have become kind of a racket in the CA industry. But they exist nonetheless, and we should push for more consistent browser treatment of site security in general, including consistent treatment of EV certs.
if you use an agent, you can turn on confirmation for usage of the key with "ssh-add -c" it will prompt using SSH_ASK_PASS... I always do that and i think its always a good measure. of course always turning on agent forwarding is non the less a bad idea :D

Why on earth would the code change because of a new compiler release? Do people rewrite the C one every time a new GCC is released? And the code looks fine, what "better" do you want?
