I think it's also important to point out the auditing and spying the government is asking the universities to comply with including the whistle blower section and things like - "report all requested immigration and related information to the United States Department of Homeland Security".

It appears that because it's easier to bully, punish and disappear individuals than an institution the Trump administration is doing everything it can to find out who these individuals are so they can be targeted.

Generally these kinds of clauses should be viewed as red flags. I had one contract that was something like "We reserve the right to buy all IP from anything you work on while employed here for $1".

I got it removed before joining but looking back it was one of the most toxic placed I'd ever worked and this was just one of a number of red flags.

If I am tired and snap at my daughter then I feel guilty to hurt her feelings but that's because I love her and I'm grateful she is in my life it reminds me to focus on and share the love and gratitude. Guilt is the indication there is something I value that I am not appreciating or respecting enough. The idea being instead of the feeling dragging me down it moves me forward.

* At the root of jealousy is a goal that can inspire me

* Feeling guilt indicates something I can be grateful for

* Fear can also be a challenge to learn something new

It seems to me they should send each student a device for the test with it's own mobile internet so they can use it and turn it off / send it back after.

One thing that might help is doing some personality tests around finding your strengths that might give you a starting direction in which to dig deeper:

c7DJTLrn - unfortunately this is totally normal for us human animals. Negative thinking is hardwired to be the dominant thought process. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-019-0560-0 https://www.verywellmind.com/negative-bias-4589618

Luckily it is well studied and there are many old and new techniques that work for many of us with the most recommended seeming to be Mindfulness.

For me Visualization is also an amazing technique because if done right the brain remembers what we visualize so we can rewire our default thinking.

Try checking out Mel Robins her YouTube channel has a lot of great free stuff and her books are great as well. But if you don't gel with her style there are a ton of alternative people trying to explain more or less the same concept.

Stop buying things from China - look for alternatives. Next time you buy something major look into where it is sourced. If there is something you buy a lot of from China look for an alternative.

Leave one side of this transparent wood unpainted and termites would be easy to spot.

Take a look into Chinese and Uighurs and Tabetains. Look into Scientology and other cults. Look into ISIS and radicalisation. Brainwashing is definitely a thing that works and a lot of energy is put into making it happen. It is indeed scary.

As a hiring manager the test that I believe works best is a code reading exercise. This helps reduce anxiety or the effects of anxiety (fear has a very big negative effect on creative thinking)

I take a small fairly self contained function from the existing code base. Give them 10 minutes to read the function.

You can also add a few actual bugs into the function if you like to see if they are picked up.

I then generally ask them a couple of questions. First to step through what the function is doing. Then what the larger context of the function might be and finally if they have any thoughts on improving the function.

It's a quick test usually under 20 minutes you can even hand it over to non technical interviewers if you describe what kind of answers they should be looking for.

Realise there is often a fine line between friends and friends with benefits. My advise would be let them know you find them attractive like offering compliments. Occasionally make a move to get closer, massage, touching etc. Spend time with them. It is likely they will be in the mood sooner or later and you will be the most convenient option.

Basically let them know your interested and ask. If you don't ask you won't get anything. But keep it light and occasional. And remember people can change their mind - so its ok to ask more than once.

This article keeps describing how much password sharing and piracy cost but is only proposing a solution for password sharing without talking about which issue is bigger. For all we know piracy might be 99% of the problem.

tl;dr: First 5 pages to show he understands why law enforcement wants to weaken security, last 2 disagreeing because cybersecurity and nation state threats are the bigger risk.

I love they can just use google docs and publish a "site" like this so easily to share. No html required. I hope Google doesn't start getting political and pulling these kinds of docs.

Very brave @blitzchungHS hope your message is heard.

Nobody coerced her. She is autistic in a way that makes her unable to ignore the truth. Without the same filters of ignorance and denial that most of us have she is suffering more than most people.

I think we are all suffering somewhat trying to deal with this truth and work out how to find our place in the solution.

In Australia I have always respectfully told the truth. It is no secret some companies have terrible management and IMO It can come across well to the type of employers you might want to work for. In this situation I might say something like - "Well I had some great ideas on ways that we might improve our technology stack but unfortunately the manager there seemed threatened by my ideas and shot them down without further discussion. In the end this friction seems to have lead to them deciding to let me go. I learnt a lot from my time there and look forward thriving in a more constructive environment!"

Just make it an option duh!

Does advertising do anything - if it doesn't why do companies spend so much money on it?

This is basically a type of pro health advertising. We have anti smoking advertising which has shown to be effective (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-19/australias-plain-pack...).

I think with a good advertisement strategy it can be very effective.
