In my country people are being forced into the stock market by having to pay interests to the bank for already small amounts of savings. Also politicians are pushing for building pensions on stocks. This is going to pay off big time - but not for the retirees or small investors.

My CV not just prominently states my GitHub account - the CV's PDF even features links to repos to back up statements about my competences. Nonetheless - nobody looks at it and then I get asked during the interview: "Have you done something with Python?". That's frustrating - and the larger the company the less informed HR seems to be in general - while at the same time asking the most...
This strategy would only work if "bad employers" (in this context those who will lie during the hiring process) are in the minority. Even a lying employer can still end up being a comparatively good place to work - but nonetheless - your strategy will just repeat the situation and at some point you will have to explain why you are switching all the time.

Parkinson's Law states that work is expanded to fill the available time. The law I refer to is that the time itself with work to be filled is expanded - for the purpose of requiring more human and non-human resources - which again requires expanding the hierarchy - which expands the power of those who cause this process (as the newly hired people will be added below those "managers").
Maybe HR tends to complicate the process to expand its power and justify its existence.
There is this "law" that proclaims this is what happens in bureaucratic organisations - hierarchies tend to be grown for that purpose.
"Congratulations, Herr Schmidt, your 2014 taxes have just been spent on a chandelier for the rebuilt Berlin city palace!"
But ... would the right reaction really be to call it "terrorism"?
The question arises in context of every bearded muslim killing somebody will be referred to as "terrorism" while a white ahole killing nine people is just retarded and the whole affair considered a tragedy.
I think though that the thought process arising from this question would be to question the whole concept of "terrorism" in general. Why not in general consider people who kill other people out of hate or greed as murderers and then treat them accordingly - while skipping the whole media outcry campaigns that only serve fear-mongers and the news industry.
Taking half a litre blood from somebody suffering hypertension obviously solves that problem ...
... so great - now we have the solution to social phobia!

This report is characteristic especially when considered in contrast to the (overly?) thoughtful justification of the sentence given by a German court in the recent case around the killing of a Turkish girl named
Tugce.
This report is also characteristic when considered in context of the killing spree in Charleston.
USA is a country of institutionalized hatred. Hatred seems to have become a central aspect of the national identity and culture.
Seems to be a great project - but it is intimidating being required to be awesome. Evokes pictures of myself stuck in a group of awesome people making it obvious to myself how not-awesome I am ... so I am not going ... :-(
Schneier's Password Safe is the real deal:
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/
I use it on:
- Ubuntu
- Windows
- Android
Synchronisation of the password db files is accomplished by storing a master file on Google Drive (Multi-Fac Auth here). I only change passwords on Ubuntu - upload to Drive and download to Android and Company.
How do we know if that is true? I'd trust the article's diffing history, though. But that is gone - just as the text of the article is nowhere to be found.
Just watching documentation on people in none-1st-world-countries or even on wildlife animals clearly shows that we are eating wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much for the energy we are losing - that's one reason why I got into intermittent fasting (8/16). This hunger feeling we sense at times has nothing to do what so ever with actual hunger or nutrional depletion.

Well, this is a standard feature of any average Joe's porn site for about 5 years now
Stanford study finds eating reduces hunger (2016)
Not just interesting and relevant and well written ...
... also plaesently concise
so all the husbands in the world have weak muscles and mental fog ... ? :D
that's why I wrote my comment precisely as I did. the article is not about low T levels but comparatively low T levels (comparing to single guys)
I second this ... I actually even encourage my gf to flirt with other men - it keeps you mentally fresh and vital
It's odd that "low Testosterone levels" (as in "lower T levels compared to ...") is automatically considered to be something bad (by male readers). High T-levels are connected with higher susceptibility to inflammation f.x.
> ... names of neighbors and close friends.
Why for christs sake do they even collect this data in the first place? This is not a database on felons or potential terrorists ... why does the government care about the neighbours of their employees???
That would be true if at all times meant 100% all times. But I doubt that this rule exists and is assumed to exist to keep the pilot himself from causing harm. But rather to notice medical conditions as soon as possible. So from this psychological stance it is very likely that there will be moments of maybe no more than a minute of someone being alone in the cockpit - realistically.
> It is followed by a more advanced spark course (Scalable Machine Learning)
Is it really more advanced regarding Spark? The requirements state explicitely that no prior Spark knowledge is required.
Well, Escher's pictures are sophisticated and "beautiful" - I guess that's why
Escher? Why not Gödel ... or Wittgenstein ... or Kant?
Then again Bauer, Müller or Becker would be just as appropriate, wouldn't it?
