That's also completely in line with Stoicism.

I've found that quite often, the people suggesting that "they way we do it" mitigates a risk don't understand either aspect. Their goal is to achieve the feeling of having made it go away . They only want to do the thin

CA, ND, OK, and DC seem to be the ones of note. A slew of other states have thresholds under which non-competes are invalid, but above which they are. Washington's, as an example, are here: https://lni.wa.gov/workers-ri

Glancing at the Gemfile, it's a Jekyll system. That's a Ruby package that does all the markdown to markup conversion. This seems like relevant documentation: https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/04/02&#

I am not so much conflating them by accident as expressing my belief that the two are the same. I am not convinced that we can make sure the people from which their jobs where taken by an AI will be able to live from its proceeds. There&#x2

I fear you may misunderstand. A "job shop" is a company that has a staff of full time employees where the primary form of work the company performs is taking on contact jobs from other companies. This in many cases is websites, we

Look at job shops - thoughtworks, thoughtbot, etc.

If anything, I think you're overselling it. Most authors make at best a very small amount of money from their work and are nowhere near being able to make a living from it. Most books simply don't sell much at all (200-300 for an

You're making it sound like this is more useful for money laundering than any desirable purpose.

I agree, but we should pay attention when we are asked for empathy. In this very thread we have an excellent demonstration of how easy it is for an appeal to feel empathy for people's position to change into an appeal to protect the sa

At the risk of demonstrating a total lack of empathy and failure to identify, we long ago passed the arrival of it being impossible for a very large number of people to get a career in something they enjoy (making images by hand). Art has b

We can and should have empathy for all those people. The question is perhaps not if we should have empathy for them. The question is what we should do with it once we have it. I have empathy for the cabbies with the Knowledge of London, but

What's going to happen if technologists collectively come to the table and engaging in sincere discussion rooted in kindness, compassion, and empathy? I fully expect there will be zero reciprocation. There will, instead, be a strong ex

Airtags and similar can work, but there are downsides. For one, AirTags specifically have a series of anti-stalker features. That means a thief knows the bike is being tracked. Second, any tracker you hide on the bike can be found by a th

As per their own documentation, Electron is not a web browser and should not be treated like one. I understand that some may experience differences of opinion, but I regard it as sufficient warning when the developers of something warn that

by Kalium 4y ago
For my own part, I find the introduction that specifically warns that Electron is not a web browser and should not be trusted to handle potentially malicious code from over a network to be clear enough. I understand that this is an opinion

This is such a good idea that a number of high-end bike manufacturers agree with you and do so. VanMoof is one example, but they are not the only ones.

On the contrary, it makes a significant difference vs Chromium. Using Electron means having jettisoned a number of security protections that Chromium offers while exposing the system to the attacks those are designed to stop. In design term

It's not particularly challenging to set up a cache layer over a webserver. No new protocols or innovative techniques from smart people are required. Nor is it technologically difficult to accept that sometimes HTTP requests won't

The answer is: no and yes. No, in that you're completely correct that network positioning and exposure does not inherently increase the vulnerability a computer has. It does not introduce new flaws. Yes, in that it's not just abou

At this point your average person does a poor job of securing their home non-server. So while people might be pretty handy with their computers in some ways, I think it's reasonable to consider that they're very much not handy at

OK. Let's take it as read that ranges discourage the uncertain and nervous. How should companies go about posting ads that treats those people compassionately and puts them on an event footing with confident people? Preferably while no

That's a wonderful goal! In practice, you can either have a secured computer or one that offers useful services over a network. Through decades of sincere effort and many billions of dollars of investment, it has turned out that you ca

by Kalium 4y ago
That depends. How well-equipped do you think your average person with a smartphone (or pocket computer) is to manage and secure a server? This is not a snarky comment. The thing in your pocket can, today , be convinced to act as a webserve

You don't, but obligations under GDPR include taking "reasonable measures" to protect the private information you're obligated to collect. The point I was making is that this underscores is how difficult it is to define

Can you define "private informations" and "need" in unambiguous ways, please? In my experience it's shockingly hard to do so once you get beyond the basics. Even when you have clear legal obligations to collect a bu

It is, but generally reasonableness comes with useful legal context to help you understand what it means. In the context of GDPR? I was left guessing what a regulator in Brussels might consider reasonable when their path to career advanceme
