I was deeply involved in the fledgling anti-spam industry in the early 2000s, by way of the anti-virus industry, and it was not a common term then. Wikipedia gives the first recorded use as '95, and that refers to it as "fishing", and as being AOL-specific.

This reddit comment by Hyroero:

>It's kids. They literally all have ipads or some other tablet (most of the children I look after even at the age of 1 or 2 have their own tablet...).

>Cars 2 was craaaaazy popular with children, it's the same as how frozen is crazy popular right now.

>That explains a few other entries in the list like Pocoyo which is a popular kids show too.

>These children basically watch the same video over and over and over (not sure if that gives additional views or not) then select what ever looks cool in related videos, rinse and repeat.

>Edit: Just felt like adding another example, one of the children I care for is obsessed with the Lego movie and is often watching random game play from the Lego movie video game as if it were a show. He doesn't understand it's a game, in fact his parents don't play games either so he's had no contact with games.

You can blame Germans and French if you like. It would be accurate, in some contexts. But blaming protestant Anglos here is factually incorrect. Would you rather they further misinformation and mischaracterize people and history just because they feel like it?
As a fellow short guy this definitely an issue I face too. In a way you have to appreciate the honesty of these women who make completely categorical statements that they will not consider anyone below their own height, or even anyone below the average male height (so roughly 50% of males) or sometimes even setting their minimum heights well above the male average. Height is simply a major factor of male attractiveness, the problem is that unlike other factors it's not communicated well beforehand and comes as a shock to some men when they realise just how important it is in the dating market.

The other issue is that sometimes the exlusion statement is phrased in a nasty or blunt way that wouldn't be socially acceptable at all if it were a man talking about a factor of female attractiveness. I am sure there are males out there who make nasty and blunt comments in their profiles, but I am also sure there are fewer of them and they get ruled out for saying such things even by women to whom the statement doesn't apply.

Finally it's even worse that on many sites the statement ruling men under X height out comes at the end of the profile! So you might see how much you have in common with someone and start thinking about a cool date to go on and then get to the end of the profile to find out you never had a chance to begin with.

I would suspect this factor plays a part, but is almost certainly behind better nutrition, in the general increases in heights across the board through the baby boom and sexual revolution in Western countries. But you'd need to explain why it was particularly strong in the Netherlands for it to explain their above average height increases.

Like everything else about Mountain View, the food at Google's Mountain View office sucks. That office is also in a swamp, and the "city" of Mountain View offers nothing of any interest to anybody, unless colossal, endless traffic jams catch your fancy. I have no idea why anyone wants to live or work in Mountain View, for Google or otherwise.
One crucial aspect of this is finding the right therapist. Really good therapists are actually somewhat rare, and a bad one can waste a lot of your time or worse. Finding the right therapist is like dating. You have to shop around a bit to find the right match but once you do it can be incredibly rewarding.

Many large companies in Asia will use First Advantage (previously LexusNexus I believe) to do background checks so ignore the previous commenter that Asia doesnt do background checks, the same incompetent company used heavily in US and EU. However I would be surprised if startups did background checks, and even if they did if you could put your cards on the table then I doubt it will hinder you, you seem to be upfront here (and with it only probation) so I guess it wasn't anything too evil.

Analogy doesn't hold up. The complexity of cancer research is vastly greater than cooking. But anyway, chefs claim that there is special, non-reproducible elements about their environment and creations, e.g., oven, ingredients, etc. all the time.

> none of them were able to make a dish as good

Defining "good" is the problem for both cancer research and cooking. You can have two experts saying this is "good" or this is "bad" and not really be able to prove who is right. Fine, maybe for cancer research you can ultimately prove who is right but its not realistic in most cases given the resource constraints of even top-flight labs.
Passable, but full of cliches. The race and sex references are also lazy and overdone.
As a (mostly ignorable) sidenote, TCC does support a couple of non-intel ISAs. At least 4-5k LOC beween arm-gen.c and C67-gen.c, compiled from an IR https://github.com/LuaDist/tcc/blob/master/il-opcodes.h If this repository's anything to go by: https://github.com/LuaDist/tcc

I'm not sure how well maintained those backends are, and I've read TCC isn't really stable enough to use in production, between the incomplete x64 backend and just general bugs... Solving those may yet push TCC a fair bit beyond 60k LOC.

Yeah, as Ryan said, no split brains possible in VoltDB for quite some time. We originally had split brain protection something you could enable for cloud deployments, but figured it wouldn't be worth the tradeoff if you had 5 machines in a rack connected directly. It turns out we made a bad choice and we fixed it.

Unless you're speaking of something else you heard about on a more recent version?

I have no idea why you keep going on about various other countries' naming laws, when the passage in question wasn't even talking about enforcement at all:

> Facebook likes to think of names as a one-to-one mapping. You have one name, and that name is how people refer to you at all times. It’s a very WASP notion of how names work, and the reality is far more complex.

Facebook, as an American company, inherited its ideas about names from mainstream American (i.e., WASP) culture. This was a poor choice, because those ideas do not also cover how some other cultures treat names. That's all this is saying. Your interpretation of this as "inflammatory" and "mischaracterizing history" is frankly baffling.

By doing really difficult and expensive medical research over decades, we will discover many things that help many of the 7 billion people, increasing to 9 billion, on the planet. Knowledge isn't something that stays locked up forever, and which only rich people have access to it.

Age related research will benefit over 10 billion people in this century. Most of us will get old.

I think you've just forgotten how things used to be. Like if you encounter BSOD or something, you'll get upset. But do you remember how often Windows 3.1 freeware / shareware apps crashed? I also remember sites which said immediately, that this site operates only using IE 6 or something similar, refusing completely to load without right browser.

When I create web sites, I'll always focus on performance. Like most of pages require just single item to be downloaded and no, I'm not inlining stuff. I'm just reusing already downloaded stuff. And even amount of that stuff is minimized. Benefit? On slow mobile connection my pages load in under a second, versus many sites which might take minutes(!) yes, that's right to load.

I'm sure anyone using NoScript has noticed how full of s*t many popular web sites are today. My sites all load from single domain using https, no 3rd part junk.

Remind me of poor peter
I was in a very similar situation. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life when I was 18, was angry about a relationship that ended (I had no skills for dealing with it at the time), so I got into drinking and drugs and made a lot of bad choices (which eventually landed me 10 years of probation).

I ended up working a string of minimum wage jobs before finally finding a factory job that was hard, but paid a little more ($13/hour). Since I really wanted to be a professional drummer and tour with a band, I figured that I needed to learn a skill that I could do on the road. I decided to start studying web development and graphic design. I worked a bunch of overtime, bought a used macbook, and started spending all my nights and weekends studying (I have a friend who calls this the Overlap Technique; google it). After a couple years, I had learned enough to get an (unpaid) internship at a small web design agency. That eventually gave me the confidence to start taking on freelance clients when the opportunities came.

The hardest part was learning to like myself again. By the time I was 20, I was overweight at 260 pounds (I'm 5'll). I started making small changes to my diet (stopped drinking soda, started eating healthier foods), and I started walking, exercising, riding my bike around town, etc. I lost 80 pounds over the course of three years, and I felt and looked really good.

I was also fortunate enough to find a group of cognitive therapists who were really smart and really kind who helped me understand the thought patterns that were making me fuck up my own life.

I had two major breakthroughs; the first was after taking shrooms (not a recommendation, mind you) I realized that I could make my life be whatever I wanted it to be. I had control over my decisions, and they would shape my life.

The second was that I had to stop giving a fuck about what the people who didn't know me had to say about the poor choices I made in the past. I understand why I made those shitty choices, and I won't be making them again. If someone wants to be a dick or refuse to work with me because of a bad choice I made in the past, they aren't someone I want in my life anyways.

I turn 30 in two months. I have a solid source of income from multiple clients who I have good relationships with (they've never asked for a background check), a nice girlfriend, and plenty of friends who know about my past and still respect me for the person I am today. They can't even comprehend the level of shithead I was back then because today I am nothing but kind, respectful, encouraging and helpful to everyone I meet.

I hope this helps.
If the leap second was really just expressed to the application as the 61st second of a minute, it wouldn't be so bad. But instead the second of 23:59:59 happens _twice_ (UNIX time steps backwards one second), which tends to confuse applications that assume time increases monotonously.
The smart-card vendors might be working with any number of people. You can't be sure and subversion is at an all time high. The reason he used our data diode recommendation was you can use arbitrary hardware for the send, receive, and network nodes. Receiver can't leak anything outward even if hit by malware. Sender can't receive attacks from Internet. And network can be toast without ill effect. This can be verified by looking at the wires you modified rather than giving ChipWorks millions to R.E. it. ;)

Later we told him OTP wasn't going to get takeup. I described my cascading cipher. That led to his multiple encryption etc version. I told him high assurance crypto NSA uses defeats covert channels with (a) fixed sized transmissions, (b) fixed rate transmissions and (c) not letting errors have a visible effect on that. Goes way back. He changed it to do that.

So, he was clever with the design and has been responsive to updates. Those are just a few I remember. He used Python because it's easy to read. He only has so much time for the project. Other stuff I suggested included converting it to a language like C, Ada, or Pascal for control over memory & extra visibility. Also, using the Dresden Nizza architecture (or MILS architecture) on transport and sending stack to further enforce isolation and secure decomposition. More work to be done but it's a nice executable specification of something that can give NSA hell with low end equipment.

Far as email, that must be a side project he started as a result of some of us suggesting he port GPG or something to the architecture. I'm not familiar with it. I only endorse main chat architecture with encouragement that implementation keeps improving. :)

A simple "no, I don't actually know" would have sufficed.

I'm not asking you what episode of Blacklist you enjoyed the most, I'm asking you about real life. The lavabit company was served a real warrant made by a real judge, served by a real officer of the court. NSLs are served by real FBI agents with real badges. I'm not debating the anti-liberty essence of an NSL, but the "men in black" fear is completely unfounded by the domain of things that are in the public eye.

The strawman of the "FCK agency" agents ordering people with the threat of jail time to put backdoors in their software isn't backed up by any credible fact. We can suppose and assume all day, but you shouldn't take it for granted that everyone agrees or should agree with you.

*the alleged RSA backdoor was reported by Reuters to be a $10M bribe, doesn't sound coercive to me. Not to mention the NSA has no arrest powers outside its facilities, but sure.

In a twisted sense, the shameless thuggery as you say, has now enabled people to mine / acquire information much easier since now if you want to bypass pay walls, you have to do it for a lot less places than before. The ideas that power sites like sci-hub will only get more resilient, regardless (or because) of the laws.

Kind of reminds me of how if you wanted basic info about any random person before the internet, one had to use a lot more resources to find such information and even then, you would have to first know where to look. Now you can pretty much get such information about a significant percentage of the global population with these three urls and some enumeration:

Needs much more specificity wrt the young white guy requirements; you're not optimising enough. You want young white guys, but that's way too general. You need them to be unmarried (no kids, either) with no negotiating skills, and into algo, dubstep, typography, and expensive road bikes. Low self-esteem is also crucial.
Well, it's not my analogy. But I think it's a good one, it just undermines the point of the person who made it.

If I go into Momofuko, I'm looking for a good meal. A good meal is one that tastes good, in this case. If I'm looking at a Julia Child cookbook, I'm looking for a good recipe. One of the criteria for a good recipe may be that it tastes good, or that it produces a healthy meal -- there's several different criteria you can use here. But one criteria for a good recipe is reproducibility -- in order for a recipe to be good it must contain enough information and be accurate enough for me to create the dish that the recipe is for. A recipe for a tasty meal that does not contain the right ingredients or enough detail in the steps to prepare it is a bad recipe.

By the same token, an experiment that cannot be repeated is a bad experiment. It may not be false. But its explanatory value is limited -- if a reaction can only take place in water that's treated a certain way or has/lacks certain minerals, then a paper that doesn't tell me that is leaving out important information. Regardless of whether or not you define the point of cancer research in purely scientific terms -- that is, to learn more about cancer -- or in more pragmatic terms -- that is, to allow us to create better cancer treatments -- omitted information about the circumstances surrounding the test that has a significant effect on the test result gives us less information and is less likely to lead to better cancer treatments.

Is the founder of FB protestant, or maybe the leadership? Does vkontakte, a foreign company, in a country with no protestant culture offer less restrictive naming policies?

Characterizing the issue as one caused (and the inference is only protestant Anglo culture would cause) this kind of names requirement is disconnected from reality. Companies in non Anglo and non protestant places have similar and even more restrictive policies. And also this idea of names is not an Anglo concept, as it was characterized.

Ding ding ding! That's me to a T. I'm in my early 30s, with a family, and just started in MTV this past Monday. I spent 11 years at a small company in Cleveland, and had reached the top of the engineering ladder there. Had the opportunity to move out to Silicon Valley, where I have much more varied career prospects if I decide Google isn't for me after my shares vest.

On my team are two very experienced engineers (one's been at Google for longer than all but 38 employees), and it will be a great opportunity to learn from some really great people and grow my skills, which had been stagnating due to lack of challenge at my last company.

There was never any pressure at my last job to work crazy hours, so that wasn't really a factor in moving per se; but Google is big on work-life balance, which is super important to me.
Is a fully voluntary transaction what's actually happening between scientists and journals in a majority of cases?

Most PhD programs require a single publication. It's called a dissertation. Sometimes individual chapters are formatted with an eye towards publication in a particular journal, but I'm not aware of any program, at least in the biological sciences that requires journal publications to get a degree.
