>All of the good stuff was created by people who worked overtime. What if those creations were largely responsible to lazy people who had time to think of innovations instead of grinding away? I think it takes all types, honestly.

My 82-year old relative is like this. She's so accustomed to working hard all her life that even when she could retire easily on alimony and pension, she's so wired to work hard in blue-collar work. She works at a natural foods st

I have a similar observation about Austin, TX. And there's every incentive not to live in a dense urban core due to absurd rents and not many folks are going to bike in a TX summer.

Strongly agree with this comment. ELK and now EFK using fluentd are fairly mature and the dashboards used to view the data e.g. Kibana, Grafana are full of useful features to get around the "endless series of greps" method of manu

In cases like HPC and other performance-centric workloads, mainline kernel just doesn't have the hardware support needed for more exotic stuff like Infiniband and Mellanox cards, high-end SSD etc. Oracle got tired of waiting for suffic

This analogy falls apart some since there was never a concept of land ownership (to my knowledge) amongst the various North American tribes, so there wouldn't have been "fenced-land" semi-permanent dwellings to take over to b

According to this site[1], the GDPR would likely delegitimize most of the social media checks. "The GDPR also requires that employers only view social media profiles when the information is relevant to the position being applied for. T

And this is my axe to grind - that these people exist and just one misconstrued, out-of-context quote and boom, career is over. And the degree to which this social-media-background-check crap goes - just see a recent entry from jwz's b

You make excellent points. I do not envy hiring managers, that's for sure. How to combine respect for privacy and freedom of expression with protecting a company from undeserved harm? Maybe this the problem LinkedIn was trying to solve

HighFive seems to be popular where I'm at. I like, it works. I have a couple of minor UI complaints but overall it's fine. I haven't seen it in use with large (say, >20 people) meetings, though.

Think about all the industries that profit from drug enforcement, incarcerating otherwise harmless citizens committing victimless "crimes". And where would hand-me-downs from the federal armed forces go!? Lots of cash cows...

Agreed, they also abuse their unconstitutional power. I'm just saying, they don't "protect and serve". They are just an armed force for the legal establishment.
