Makes the conspiracy theories regarding journalist Michael Hastings' death in 2013 seem more plausible. [1] Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard A. Clarke said that wha

As someone who still occasionally has to write Perl 5 for a living, Perl 6 really is a new language. And because Perl 6 isn't as mainstream as Ruby or Python, there is a bigger culture shock when trying to find resources or figure out

I don't want to heap the blame entirely on him. Other people I work with also hold the opinion that emails should be responded to as soon as possible, so he has support. It's all relative, and they certainly pay me well enough for

Some of my team have fought this battle and lost. If you don't respond, you get a tap on the shoulder which is even more distracting. Unfortunately, the number of people who find this annoying are in the minority, so it is what it is.

When my manager stops freaking out when an email goes unanswered for 10 minutes (or I get a new job), then I'll stop checking my email so often.

It sounds like we could've used something like Aleph to centralize the queries that were coming in, as opposed to the case where somebody copy and pastes a query to someone who adds a column and then emails it to someone else, etc etc.

When I say raw data, I mean the data that's already been processed from original sources and stored in the data warehouse (that is, the warehouse data as it existed in our database and not how it was presented through third party tools

At a previous gig with an open data warehouse, we had problems with teams pulling data incorrectly (e.g. counting visits without using the correct combination of filters to get the "official" count) and using them in company docum

The most prominent example I've seen has been with abortion. People say they voted for Trump because of Hillary Clinton's policy stance on abortion, so they end up being accused of racism because making abortion a bigger dealbreak

This doesn't work because there are medical reasons to have an abortion outside of unwanted pregnancy.

What I'm saying is that no matter what, a woman gets the final say over what happens to the undeveloped fetus that's inside of her. At the extreme end of that position, if one of them has to die, the woman gets to make the choice

We shouldn't have done it with senators though. The original system was designed that way so as to minimize the influence of populism on the Senate.

I think you missed the point of my analogy on abortion. Let's say there's someone you know who's going to die in 24 hours if she doesn't get a kidney transplant. She's too far down on the list to get one in that tim

The Republican Party has failed to field a credible candidate for quite some time. If you believe in science and equal rights for women and minorities, those damn "elites" are all we have.
