If you look at http://donttrack.us/, it says your data "can potentially end up" in those places, not "will be sold to..."

Also, however you slice it, it's kind of gauche to do that on a day with (in however a tepid and toothless fashion, by international standards) is specifically intended to honor regular working folks.

"Organic produce and meat typically isn't any better for you than conventional varieties when it comes to vitamin and nutrient content, according to a new review of the evidence.

"But organic options may live up to their billing of lowering exposure to pesticide residue and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers from Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System found."

Unfortunately they didn't bother to get the short URL to the original article right, so we can't go and find out what the authors of the original article were actually saying about the matter.

Being as he works so hard (heck, if you think about it, he's practically the only one who's really working) the other 364 days of the year, and has virtually no chance any upside as a reward for all his selfless toiling in their service.

In that sense, the totality of the censorship on the government's page around a simple matter of noncontroversial public history is simply astonishing. The irony is that it seems to exemplify the very ethos of left-wing totalitarianism that it's desperately trying to "protect" us from. Or as Winston Smith said it best himself,

"The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth" (Book One, Chapter VII).

BTW, here's a good recap of the actual political maneuverings around the time of the federal holiday was enacted:

Besides, face it, coming from an R and Perl background, you'd never be able to grok the nuanced complexities of PHP or Zend.

Yeah - don't mess with those $12, $14 an hour shysters. That's the ticket!

"We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write F-U-C-K on their airplanes... because...? it's obscene!"

-- Colonel Walter E. Kurtz

Now, that's not fair.

The candidate may have had a weak stomach, or lacked a sufficiently preternatural sense of cool to people-skill his way out of each and every awkward social situation. But that doesn't make him a "nut."

"Visual interfaces for writing musical notation means anyone can be a composer."

"Drag-and-drop interfaces for text composition means anyone can be a writer."

"Magnetic poetry kits on every kitchen refrigerator door mean..."

Basically, their thought process seems to go about like this:

"Hmm, slow day. I think I'll just go spam 3,000 inboxes of random developers in an attempt to fill a position in some faraway state most of them not only don't live in presently, but would never consider moving to in a million years. They'll be so glad to hear from me! And it will make a great impression not only for our firm, but especially for the Client we recruiting for."

(2) sounds intriguing, even though it's "just math." Care to elaborate?

(3) it's always better to pick your own problems if at all possible. makes you unique, and besides, given all the attention dolloped on "problem-solving ability", the ability to identify important problems is just as important, if not perhaps more important.

Even if he's done more than his part to play into the interests of this perfidious campaign. Had he gone to face his trial in Sweden (like, you know, a man) he probably would have acquitted, or at worst, been made to face a comparatively light penalty by now. And perhaps salvaged some credibility for himself in the process.

Not that the campaign against him wasn't overzealous and clearly politically motivated, etc. Of course it was, but that's not the point. But it's safe to say that the juggernaut of vested interests behind it can be more than pleased at the fruits of their efforts, thus far.

Excellent analogy. If best practices and incremental development are like good ice cream, then Agile is like Tasti D-Lite™. What's not to like?

While I tend to sympathize with his case, for a grievance letter that was just way too long and rambling. So it puts the addressee -- who already faces considerabilities legal liabilities, as well as pressures from above if they respond the wrong way to such a letter -- in a position where they feel justified in seeing silence as a prudent response.

Plus, it just takes lots of time to parse and construct a response to such a torrent of TL;DR like that.

Much better would been to have spend some extra time coming up with something no longer than 1.5x as long as the letter he was responding to. You know, something readable. And then, for political as well as strategic reasons, open his wallet to have it professionally translated into French. Now that might get him the kind of traction he wants on this issue.

Yet another incredibly poor litmus test for assessing one's suitability as a data scientist, engineer, or anything else.

All they have is this fleeting impression of how you "performed" in this one weird, pretentious moment. Which doesn't have much to do with anything, really.
