> Don't think it's fair? Interesting feeling, eh. Not very nice, eh. Be glad you haven't suffered it for literally your entire life.
unfortunately, positive discrimination also are discriminates against people who are negatively discriminated against, like asian men trying to get into college or get a good job.
but you probably don't really care about that because it doesn't fit neatly into your oppressor/oppressed classification system.
hey, at least you're honest about throwing people under the bus to further your social justice agenda though. i appreciate that.
seems like the way ikea classifies their furniture is merely a suggestion. for example i've always used their dining tables as desks, as their "desks" are too small and flimsy and relatively expensive.
rich people are susceptible to the same herd/exclusivity psychology the rest of us are.
to those who don't know, fund management firms have plenty of sales people, except they're not called sales people, they're called VPs, managing directors, partners, etc. but their job is to sell their services and bring new assets (MONEY) under management. they do this through social interaction and posturing. a lot of these people don't even actually manage the money, they just outsource it to hedge funds and banks with high end management services. they're constantly being wined and dined by bankers and traders, people they claim to hate yet they keep shoveling money in their direction. hmm.
why else do you think they have "minimum" asset requirements? there's no logical reason to have one -- once your client's money is in your pocket you can shift it around from a single pool of capital no matter how big or small the transaction. which is basically what an ETF is. there's software to keep track of all the individual deposits and returns. the truth is they market that exclusivity and they sure as hell don't want to talk with anyone who doesn't have millions of dollars. i can't say i blame them.
one thing they all have in common is they all look down their noses at "retail" financial services. it's just a big social game played by very smart people, like venture capital.
he's just another self-important code monkey who has deluded himself into thinking he's a an under-appreciated genius, if only these idiots he's surrounded by would recognize him for his true greatness.
yeah, sure he is. it's more likely he will end up like most unreasonably arrogant mediocre people, too afraid and self-deluded to do anything of consequence his entire career.
wait until he realizes how much mundane, trivial shit is required with taking a 'leadership position'.
funny nobody (yet) in this thread has mentioned "discipline", everyone is so focused on "motivation". as the saying goes, motivation lasts for a day, discipline lasts for a lifetime.
this is another data point that supports my personal, hare-brained theory that the expectation of privacy on the internet is simply naive, a fool's errand. it never existed, and never will.
this is despite (or maybe because) of my best efforts to secure systems as a major part of my job.
requesting a page with a specific combination of broken tags, when done through cloudflare, will cause neighboring memory to be dumped into the response. op suspects this is due to a bounds checking bug on a read or copy. one can imagine this can be potentially kilobytes of data in one go.
since anyone can put a broken page behind cloudflare, all you need to do is request your own broken page through cloudflare, and start collecting the random "secure" data that comes back.
i'm saying that legal and illegal immigration are two different things. the fact that steve bannon dislikes both types and probably (almost certainly) dislikes non-white people has nothing to do with my point.
let's say all your worst fears are true, and bannon secretly is literally hitler. does that change the fact that legal vs. illegal immigrants are different, and should be treated differently, with a different set of laws and social acceptance? because i would say that even if he is literally hitler and mussolini combined, that would still hold true.
i mean, what is your actual point here? that you don't like steve bannon? okay, great.
that's absurd. you should name the price you expect, and not go below your minimum.
would you hire a plumber that refuses to name his rate, and then when pushed, tells you a number 5 times higher than normal? why do you think any other employment negotiation is any different?
if you "never name a number", the person on the other end is going to know you're inexperienced and operating on cargo cult mythology, and will simply take advantage of you.
