I love sheepdog startups which are like grandma sleeper cars with 1000 hp under the hood. Innovating in an area others dismiss, and killing it.

The used cars section in Consumer Reports is invaluable to avoid white elephants. Also, take a candidate vehicle to your mechanic before finalizing a deal.

In America, hospitals mostly charge whatever they want.

Bots and unthinking cyberdisinhibited people competively flame and troll whomever is the current punching-bag for brownie points, schadenfreude and negative attention seeking behavior.

For those actually needing scalable, resilient nosql, CouchBase ia worth evaluating.

Magical thinking apparently includes freedom from respecting laws and ethics, and cheaping out on family planning for more magical "reasons."

Samhain is less well-known but superior to TW, AIDE and OSSEC. (I've deployed both FOSS and commercial TW.)

I thought it was Breitbart, Danger & Play or InfoWars, but it's good to know Pando sinks below WaPo, BuzzFeed and Gawker levels.

This happens all the time. Twitter-dramatic people rachet up their Karpman Drama Triangle histrionics against celebrities to try to get something juicy to up their social media currency. Sama deals with this every day.

Effort and results may not be enough because real life isn't a meritocracy. Insecure manangers worry they'll promote someone whom could be promoted past them as their new boss instead of them getting promoted (promotions as win-loss), save some money on their P&L by BS under-promoting people or pigeonholed someone as a worker role instead of mentoring/trialing them for managing or leading. These and other nonperformance factors can high-peforming staff surrounded by communication major managers.

I jailbroke for these reasons:

GuizmoDNS - OpenDNS+DNSCrypt

TetherMe - free tethering

Pandora Downloader

Pandora Skips

Unrestrictor 3G - Remove IAS and other limits by fooling apps into thinking they are on Wi-Fi.

Bytafont2 with Futurama font

iTransmission - torrent client

Also nice were bandwidth meter in the status bar, Fake Carrier, Five Icon Dock and Freeman's work porting aptitude, yum and deb packaging to iOS to make installing tweaks and apps easy.

It's a shame that Apple doesn't provide more app/os integration, customization and middleware hooks.

Never be around or communicate 1:1 with a woman you don't know alone. Always be with other people whom could be witnesses or with a clear paper-trail. Furthermore, keep "getting to know" questions to safe, nonintrusive topics for anyone new. Strangers are potential liabilities until proven otherwise.

Yes and ask HR for honest feedback, specifically for improving one's professionalism. They most likely won't do it, but let them be the one to be unprofessional.

Anonymous sources can say you're a pedophile and I'm a canabal hatchet murderer, and face no consequences for making false claims.

Furthermore, for those with very thin skins (SJWs) whom see microaggressions everywhere, it's fine for them to use whatever tools are available because the ends justifies the means, as a person, in their mind, is guilty merely for being born with innate identity privilege attributes. SJW behavior is disproportionate retribution combined with stereotyping.

People aren't archetypes or labels; that's too black & white, un-nuanced thinking. Psychological and sociological reseach proved most people act however they're expected to within a given power dynamic circumstance, except for a few outliers which will go their own way, for anti- or pro-community.

This wrong "bad apples" analogy as it applies to police or genocide perpetrators also is dangerous because it's simply untrue. Well meaning people will commit atrocities if directed to by a superior authority figure; the Stanford Prison experiment and the Milgram experiments underscore this.

Instead, there must be social and business pressures brought to bear to prevent emboldened behavior with accountability. If there is boundaryless affluenza anarchy, spoiled brats will overtly behave however they wish. If there are consequences, the behavior will be reduced and become covert. There must be constant vigilance on the part of those stakeholders to enforce consistent accountability for professional/personal behavior.

PS: I'm currently shopping for an road bicycle headlight that takes repairable packs or individual cells made from 18650's so I can retrofit with NCR18650B's (or equally good cells) at some point.

If anyone knows: what's the production volume histogram across the spectrum from sawdust-filled / sloppy process batteries on one side to Panasonic/Tesla quality (or better?) on the other?

Pervasive IoT device deployment without in-the-wild security considerations and rapid updates is likely to add to DDoS bot farms.

Yes and spokeperson implied RoundUp was safe and nontoxic to drink straight, which is obviously and demonstrably inadvisable. What level of low-level, continuous exposure is deemed safe (perhaps from long-term studies not funded by industry) is the billion dollar question.

PS to anyone in the know: How does RoundUp use compare to the US in Scandinavian countries where there are much stricter chemical residue and registers chemical controls?

I think the point maybe spokeperson was lying with "it's so safe" talking points that were demonstrably false.

NO, wrong again. They boldly claimed with a direct, verbatim quote "You can drink a whole quart of it and it won't hurt you." and then refused to drink it when offered.

Watch the video! He claims "You can drink a whole quart of it [RoundUp] and it won't hurt you."

(It's ambiguous whether reporter means "glyphosate" to mean "RoundUp" product as to avoid advertising a brand name or the compound by itself.)

Containers != type 1 hypervisor with all-encompassing resource quotas, reservations and prioritization like VMware ESXi. The problem can be solved either using a hypervisor that deploys only one container per VM (with suitable paravirt/dedupe), or fix the OS to operate with much finer-grained resource contention and allocation knobs for each and every limited resource. The latter is superior when only a single OS is needed, because it reduces the need for virtualization as a crutch for inadequacies of the OS.

It's no surprise when corrupt regulators cozy with industry are ineffective. It's not that regulation is bad, it's the nuance of having sensible and effective authority, legislation and enforcement that is desperately needed to properly regulate chemicals as and how they are used in many industries.

This is almost as bad as Monsanto guy offered to drink glyphosate and then refused to drink it. https://youtu.be/ovKw6YjqSfM

At Stanford in academic dept, we had wine and beer social parties at work and at dept chair's house. No sexual harassment, no brogrammers and no calling the cops. Everyone went home sober enough.

Fuck Walmart, booze afterhours on Friday is de rigueur.

Exactly. Highest per capita incarceration rate in the world, save Seychelles. Slavery 2.0 meets prison-industrial complex and voter disenfranchisement. The US justice system is the opposite of reform-based systems like those in many Scandinavian countries. It's mean, expensive and reinforces a type of social apartheid.

Yup. This submission should be flagged because it's fake news.

Tragedy of the Commons happens without metering. Monetize all the things and give away almost nothing for free if there is an associated cost.

I had a problem with a chrome extension hanging DDG from displaying results, but otherwise seems awesome as usual on mobile and desktop.
