GGP comment observed that many people can't avoid using Java applets. Others have observed that the Java people have to use for applets is often quite old, so it is perhaps as old as the Java I used the last time I had to use Java applets. I'm sure that very few of us are "up to date"; that's kind of the point. Perhaps there are strange applet fetishists who keep their Java package installs at the bleeding edge of postmodern Java applet specialness. Even so, forcing normal people to use Java applets is harming your users, because normal people turn it off.

Yes, how about a histogram of the earthquake intervals? Is table 8 on page 102 of:

http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/pp1661f/pp1661f_text.pdf

...the raw data we are looking for? That data looks to have a mean of 530 years, and a standard deviation of 262 years, although it isn't very normal looking (well there are only 18 samples after all, so maybe it isn't too bad). See the histogram I plotted at:

http://imgur.com/4fv7jDJ

...any sources of data with the lower average for the interval? Here's the raw data that I used:

intervals = [250, 305, 446, 311, 982, 492, 415, 665, 661, 1189, 508, 715, 443, 548, 733, 195, 117, 577]

...as for the disagreement on the intervals, the only thing I could find was:

There's a built-in bypass in the site.js to allow the context menu if shift is held, though you still get the alert. Or it's just that holding shift allows the context menu to appear after the alert. I don't actually know.

Vesting Programs Are a Waste of Time and Money
How did Pao piss off the userbase? What are the charges on her indictment?

* She was CEO at a time when Alexis Ohanian terminated Victoria Taylor. But Ohanian was the chairman of the company, Pao's immediate superior. And the circumstances of Pao's accession to CEO didn't leave much time for the company to sort the problems of an operational chairman out: Pao was brought in as interim CEO at the same time as Ohanian was installed.

* She was a principal in a high-profile gender discrimination law suit against a giant venture capital firm where she previously worked. One wonders what this had to do with her tenure at Reddit, but it leads off the popular petition for her ouster.

* She presided directly over the termination of David Croach, who had leukemia. Croach claims he was terminated because he was unable to perform his job as community manager, and that he was unable because he was required to work from San Francisco --- a policy created by Yishan Wong. Reddit, through a spokesperson, disputed the veracity of Croach's story. We don't know why he was fired, but it seems like we do know that he was not --- as Pao's critics are very, very fond of saying --- simply fired "for having leukemia".

* She is married to Buddy Fletcher, who presided over a failed hedge fund and is accused of impropriety. This too is prominently recorded in the petition for her ouster, and, like her lawsuit, has little to do with her operational role. She is also accused of having deleted posts critical of her and her husband, but admins at Reddit later clarified that she not done that --- which makes sense, since we're talking about someone who couldn't even figure out how to send a private message on Reddit.

* She presided over a policy that banned the FPH subreddit. Reddit "free speech" advocates are very fond of suggesting that Pao was cracking down on objectionable speech at Reddit, and doing so selectively, so that white power subreddits were left to stand while FPH was banned. Of course, this leaves out the fact that FPH was banned for harassment, not for hosting hate speech.

What am I missing?

I don't know that any of these summaries are dispositive. Maybe the FPH issue is more complicated than I realize. Maybe Croach's termination really was mis-handled (if he was fired simply for having leukemia, he has a very straightforward legal case against Reddit).

I only ask that we do not accept uncritically the notion that Pao placated the board at the expense of Reddit's community.

>You think Tim Cook hears about even 1% of the people Apple fires, or that Craig Federighi can't fire a senior manager directly below him on the org chart?

I'm sure that she doesn't have to approve every dismissal, but there's a pretty big difference between Apple and Reddit. Last I heard Reddit only has a few dozen employees. I'd expect the CEO to know most of them by name.
I think the biggest irony of your comment is calling the article "anti-science"; a criticism they address directly in the article not just once, but multiple times.
The opposite problem sucks just as bad:

"Handlers for every UI control?"

Sure, for every piece of the UI that commits a change to the model, such as a save button, you need a callback to pass the updated model to.

You pass a "movie" object and a "saveMovie()" callback into a screen that allows you to edit the details of a movie. You edit the fields then click "save". The code that runs when the "save" button is clicked builds a new movie object then masses the new movie object to the the callback, like this "saveMovie(editedMovie)". The "saveMovie()" callback makes the API calls, database calls, etc, and the movie editing screen doesn't need to to anything else after that, and inside "saveMovie()" you can push a new screen, pop back to the previous one, or whatever. Does that make sense?

"Does this approach scale well?"

I don't see how it could be much worse than making API calls from UIViewControllers. If you do this, you're instantiating new UIViewControllers more often, so if you're loading a bunch of images on a certain view you may want to hang on to a reference to that particular view instead of building a new one each time. But, in my experience, the code ends up being a LOT cleaner than if you treat your UIViewControllers as mutable objects. So from an architecture and maintainability standpoint, it scales really well.

"Loaded with" vs. "contains a little".
> what level of involvement do you expect a CEO to have in personnel decisions of random departments? You think Tim Cook hears about even 1% of the people Apple fires, or that Craig Federighi can't fire a senior manager directly below him on the org chart?

Apple has what, 45,000+ employees? Reddit has around 70. (Assuming https://www.reddit.com/about/team/ is accurate, at least.) So I'm not sure how the the one is even remotely comparable to the other.

Moreover, my point was about key personnel, not all personnel. I don't expect Tim Cook to know or care if J. Random Genius at the Genius Bar in Tucson is about to get canned. I do expect him to know if, say, Jony Ive is about to get canned.

In other words, a CEO should at least have a cursory understanding of the status of anyone in the business who could throw it completely off track if they were hit by a bus. Given how much of its future Reddit has pinned on AMAs, and how completely non-functional the AMAs became when Taylor was fired, she would seem to have been a member of the bus brigade. Which to me at least would imply that (1) Ohanian should have known that firing her was a risky move, and (2) he should have informed Pao of that before pulling the trigger if she didn't understand it already.

Of course, if the management structure is already divided up into little fiefdoms that the CEO has no effective control over, none of this matters much.

Ironically, if the given example was written in pure bash, it would be violating best practices. You don't parse ls line-by-line because you can't make the assumption that filenames will map to lines.

Taking this contrived example at face value, imho, I'd instead place the "best of bash" for the particular task with file globbing.
The pension situation is interesting. First of all, let's look at the average retirement age, there's a useful graph here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31803814

As you can see, whist the average retirement age is lower than average, they're not that different from the average. So you have the Greeks retiring at 57.8 and the British retiring at 58.3, not that different.

Secondly, talking about the average Greek pension payment is €713, and 45% of Greek pensioners live below the poverty line.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/17/greece-pension-...

Lastly, costs of pensions is an issue for many countries, as we all live longer (on average). The most straightforward solution is to raise the retirement age, and I fully expect that to happen in Greece.
Remembering a lot of the video from Japan, it looked like most of videos were from people who went into parking garages (concrete)[1]. Regular buildings took a pretty big hit, but I'm not sure how the local building code / materials played in that.

1) I'm going with the logic that surviving video person uploading to youtube is probably a good sample of the "worked" side of the equation.
Why do you think people believe that? Maybe they are just trolls? Maybe they will just ask because it's easy to ask and someone might respond eventually.

It's not uncommon for a corporation to state why they are terminating an employee. GM terminates known engineers as scapegoats for negligence resulting in multiple deaths; many firms pre-announce mass terminations; some shut-down with no notice, save a publicly posted letter on the front door of their building telling the employees who show up for work that day that they no longer have a job ("sorry! but we tried").

Anyway, reddit left AMA out to dry by not arranging some kind of transition plan for the community, and instead created the perception of operating in secret to unknown ends.
Underground nuclear explosions are fairly well contained; done at the depth required to deal with a fault, they'd probably be unnoticeable. Also, perhaps impossible, but that's a different story.
Ruby scripts ultimately are processes, and there's much borrowed from Perl including `ARGF`. Just don't use the clever Ruby syntax stuff unless one wishes to be bashed <groan 2.0> over the head.

It becomes more of a "what should this program should consume, do and output and feedback" problem... Bash, Ruby, whatever... but aim for some standards, in general.

Furthermore, with Ruby, as a dynamic language with full network capabilities and add-on packages (gems) with other IPC libraries (zmq), there are other structured, efficient serialized service consumer/producer configurations possible rather than only shell commands. There are also background job processing frameworks like sidekiq and parallel job processors like celluloid, parallel and EventMachine.

The future, really (for dev &| ops tasks) in on-demand loaded, micro-services rather than giant, slow frameworks. The glue (say chef code) and one-ofs will likely still be a bunch of Ruby code and hopefully more Ruby code, respectively, too.

Point taken. Though, for better or worse, correlation can very frequently meaningfully improve the decision-making process, whether the organization employing said algorithm is lending to consumers or something else.
I really like this solution.

Critics might be able to say that Wikileaks BOTH hosts malware AND tampers with evidence - but if Wikileaks has a voice to respond it has a pretty good reply.

Filters and services sometimes block entire domains because one page hosts malware. So it might be that the excuse could still be used to block Wikileaks if they did host both - but again agreed that hosting both is pretty good.

It does increase the work staff at Wikileaks must do and the amount of data they have to host/manage.

But yeah overall if this becomes a problem for them doing both seems like a pretty good solution.

Nice!

No, don't accept unhappiness, rather, you should choose to be happy no matter what.
It's good to go for perfection but it's better to accept the outcome when you have put in your best. From the start, realize that, no single human being can attain perfection because what may be considered perfect by one would become imperfect when another finds a fault in or with it. Always set your goals, draw up your plans and your strategies, stay focused, be disciplined, give it your best shot and accept the outcome in good faith. However, keep striving to improve on your previous achievements, but refused to be frustrated by failure, instead, be inspired to start all over again and don't fail to make room for margin of error.

I think people believe it because they want to believe it. Knowing feeds drama. Not knowing starves it.

It is very uncommon for companies to reveal reasons for employee termination. It may seem like that's not the case because the only termination stories you pay attention to are the newsworthy ones where the cause was stated, but that's an artifact of selection bias. Tens of thousands of people are let go every year from tech companies and their stories are never told.

Also the human body spends all day killing most common bacteria, mold, and similar. You don't even know it is happening. If you got sick every time you came in contact with another person's bodily fluids then you'd be sick almost daily, you'd certainly never go out to eat again, or ride public transport.

My point is, your fears are entirely unfounded. Water fountains are fine.

Back in the early/mid 2000s I was involved with the PK Hack community, which was/is a group of people who focus on reverse engineering the EarthBound ROM (documenting and building editors for it, etc). I remember a guy named Flynman was actually putting together a sort of EarthBound scripting language that compiled down into the text engine's control codes. I'm not sure if that ever led anywhere, but it sounded pretty cool at the time. I might dig around to see if I can find it somewhere on the Starmen.net forums

edit: the original was called CCBasic, but I guess someone took the concept and reworked it here: https://forum.starmen.net/forum/Community/PKHack/CCScript-A-...

Update: I just tested it and fish 2.2 works great out of the box.

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I believe fish 2.2 will allow the baking to finish. Fish cleverly parses the prompt to figure out how long it is (vs bash which requires you to wrap nonprinting sequences in \[ and \]). Unfortunately fish's support for OSC codes was incomplete. This was a problem because shell integration uses them to report the current directory, hostname, prompt location, etc., so fish would wrap at the wrong location. I submitted a patch a while back, but I can't very well ask people to run a hacked version of their shell. So until a few days ago it was half baked. Now it's like 90% baked :)

Exactly, hence the preference for a partnership directly to get some more API access priority / infrastructure $ for dedicated scanner worker bots (virustotal is probably a bunch of internal VMs with COM instrumentation agents to WinRM or CLI Linux scanner versions, so more of those for private/dedicated users * ).

* I think virustotal could be easily monetized (without altering or cheapening itself) by freemium to orgs, nonprofits, govts that want faster, private, shared/dedicated access to the same "cloud" capabilities. There was HitmanPro which was good early on, but it didn't seem to be stay anywhere near as comprehensive as virustotal.
There was one tool which filled your gap perfectly in the past on Windows: It was called CorelDRAW, it was easier to use than QuarkXPress with its horrific (or beautiful?) shortcuts (or later InDesign) for the normal user out there.
Customers pay for services. Advertisers are customers. The only sense in which most redditors are customers is that they pay for internet access. So (assuming you watch TV), just as you as a TV watcher are a client of your TV company and the TV advertisers are clients of the TV networks you watch, you as an internet user are a client of your ISP and internet advertisers are clients of the websites you visit. There are exceptions, when users end up paying websites directly for services or products, but this is usually how the "free to visit" internet manages to sustain itself. I wish it wasn't like that, I want to search for ads not have them delivered to me.

Good design can always find a solution -- off the top of my head, integrating some kind of sterile recyclable mouthpiece dispenser would assuage most concerns
Ohanian was installed as chairperson at the same moment Pao was elevated to interim CEO, and at that time, in an unusual move, given "marketing and community building" as his operational portfolio. That, by the way, is something Ohanian has himself said more than once.

What you are now suggesting is that, having had AMAs delegated to her boss, the charismatic founder of the company, Pao should have micromanaged the operation of AMAs and prevented Ohanian from terminating Taylor.

This strains credibility.

I think we all think Taylor was a "key employee" because of the drama that happened after she was let go, but that very few of us would, in Pao's shoes, have known Taylor was so operationally critical. Even if we had, I think all of us would have found it difficult to override a decision Ohanian personally made about a division of Reddit he was personally managing.
