I don’t think I’m going to forget how.” Well actually, Dirk, in your NFL career your teams have had a winning percentage below . So it’s not that you’ve forgotten how to call plays, but rather the fact that you never learned how to call them to begin with. By the way, the Bucs were this season’s designated Hard Knocks victim. Let’s see what kind of EXCLUSIVE ACCESS we’ve been given into Koetter and his coaching methods. Christ. Honestly, it’s like they just draw slogans out of a hat every year. Your quarterback: Congratulations, Jameis Winston! Your sexual battery case was finally dismissed after reaching an undisclosed settlement with your accuser!

Some people are fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the. What a hardship it must have been. For YOU. Now Jameis is free to be a “leader” who “absorbs the playbook like a sponge” and “routinely commits turnovers that belong in silent comedies”: Every time I gotta read some horseshit about Jameis’s uncommon maturity and growth as a passer, it’s like people completely forget that, at least once a game, he will take the snap and proceed to re- enact every Nordberg scene from The Naked Gun. By the way, Jameis has been the showcase star of this season’s Hard Knocks. Here he is killing a cockroach while it’s mating: Technically, that’s ALSO sexual assault. And here he is acting like Taylor Swift in the front row of an award show: I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Jameis Winston may not be the most genuine (or mature) fellow in the world. Fresh off beating the rap, he had the balls to lecture a group of schoolgirls about being silent, polite, and gentle. Fuck his phony ass with a pirate flag. Thankfully, the Bucs imported a MENTOR to help him become 5. That’s right. It’s Harvard Man, in the flesh! I could be dead in the ground 5. I swear that Ryan Fitzpatrick could still be holding down an NFL roster spot for no reason whatsoever. This team now has not one, but TWO Harvard grads on the roster. I swooooon at the potential for elevated sideline discourse. Oh, nothing coach. Just sipping some Gatorade and discussing the impact on South China Sea trade routes should a preemptive strike in North Korea take place [FARTS]” What’s new that sucks: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU CUT THE KICKER. Yes, after trading up to draft Roberto Aguayo in the second round, the Bucs had to cut him and replace him with Nick Folk…Priceless. That’s what you get for FSU- ifying half the roster. No one should ever let this team forget about the Aguayo draft bust. This was already one of the worst picks in draft history before they released the poor bastard. They should put a monument to the trade next to the stadium bathroom. GM Jason Licht should have to walk around with a sandwich board that says I TOOK A KICKER IN THE SECOND ROUND LIKE A MORON all day long.“I’m owning up to it by releasing him. It was a bold move and it didn’t work out. I don’t know what else to say.” “Bold” isn’t the word I’d use there, amigo. Elsewhere on the roster, De. Sean Jackson is here! On paper, the arrival of Jackson and absolute stud TE OJ Howard (drafted to replace the drunk driver they originally had at that slot) make the Bucs one of the best young passing teams in football. But, as someone who has watched De. Sean Jackson over the years, I can assure you that every accidental fumble Winston makes is one that Jackson can make deliberately. Doug Martin was suspended for the first four games for Adderall, and will be suspended four more after he beats my ass for screaming MUSCLE HAMSTER at him from a nearby balcony. Mike Evans drops passes as swiftly as he drops visible Anthem protests. Jon Gruden is getting inducted into the team’s ring of honor this season, even though Bill Callahan’s playsheet should have been inducted way before him. One of the linemen dined and dashed on a five- figure club tab. What has always sucked: Miko Grimes claimed that she deliberately got her husband cut in Miami so he could come to Tampa. You played yourself, lady. Only an idiot would scheme to leave the glistening shores of South Beach to go to live in the middle of a Dog the Bounty Hunter fancon. She must have thought she could avoid the tax man there. I may be biased here because a jury of Tampa tattoo artists bankrupted this site’s former company, but for real, Fuck Tampa. Tampa is the Arizona of Florida. Tampa is a seething mass of divorcees and wannabe pirates deliberately living in the cheesiest possible area. The Bucs stadium isn’t even the most popular building on its block (that honor goes to Mons Venus). There’s a reason that Jon Gruden has a completely unironic love of Hooters. That’s 1. 00 percent Tampa right there. I’m surprised they don’t blare Hoobastank from air raid signals all day long. I took my family to Tampa for Spring Break once. Seagulls tried to eat our dinner every night and some lady brought an entire hi- fi system to the pool so she could play Bon Jovi. Tampa is the worst. It’s the only city in America aiming to REDUCE mass transit. Nazis are everywhere. Local sports teams had to give money just to get a Confederate statue taken down and it still hasn’t been taken down. A local middle school tried to sell kids a $1. The Scientologists are the most normal people there. Fuck Tampa eternally. VIVA GAWKER, MOTHERFUCKER. What might not suck: They’re good enough on offense to score 4. Did you know? HEAR IT FROM BUCS FANS! Matthew: Robert Aguayo. Robert Aguayo. Robert Aguayo. Anton: There is nothing worse than waiting for decades for your team to get a potentially elite QB and then have him be an alleged rapist. Who tells groups of young girls they need to shut up and let the men lead. Alex: Fuck Josh Freeman. Joseph: In two season Jameis will be the Bucs all=time leader in passing yards, surpassing Vinny fucking Testaverde. Jeb Lund: The problem with Why Your Team Sucks is that, every year, I strive to think of something uniquely bad about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, some suck- property that grounds the team athletically and geographically in a characteristic awfulness that other people can point to and say, “I get why thisteam blows.”But I’m starting to think that’s misguided, like writing a negative review of a flat, sad Big Mac. It’s a mediocrity expected, universal and unenlightening, as dissatisfying as you want it to be, assuming you need to buy it at all. Apart from the pirate ship, Raymond James Stadium is unlovely in the way most stadiums are unlovely. It’s not exiled to some featureless exurban hinterland, but it’s not in a downtown core accessible to walking or convenient public transportation. Before games, the neighborhood food carts and stalls are all pleasantly above average; afterward, the hassle of finding a way to get to something else to do is what you’d expect. Are the owners soulless profiteers using the NFL revenue stream to underwrite more exciting pursuits while relying on die- hard, underserved suckers? Yes. Does this distinguish them from most NFL owners? No. A Bucs fan gets grifted like everybody else. Dirk Koetter seems like every other NFL coach without a defining malignancy or singular gift—destined to answer the future announcer trivia question, “What coach last led the Bucs to the postseason?” with, “They lost in the Wild Card to Atlanta/Dallas/Green Bay/etc.” He’s Steve Mariucci with the chance to become Dennis Green. James Winston has a future of game- killing frozen- rope interceptions gifted to marginally better teams in that same Wild Card round, punctuating a career of inept local commercials, canned answers and occasional bursts of narcissistic self- exculpation and pity. Google Removes 3. Apps Used to Launch DDo. S Attacks From Play Store. Google has removed roughly 3. Play Store after security researchers from several internet infrastructure companies discovered that the seemingly harmless apps—offering video players and ringtones, among other features—were secretly hijacking Android devices to provide traffic for large- scale distributed denial of service (DDo. S) attacks. The botnet, nicknamed Wire. X, caught the attention of security researchers at the content delivery network Akamai when it was used to attack one of its clients earlier this month. Akamai’s client, a multinational hospitality company, was hit with traffic from hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. We identified approximately 3. Play Store, and we’re in the process of removing them from all affected devices,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. The researchers’ findings, combined with our own analysis, have enabled us to better protect Android users, everywhere.” The nefarious apps provided a variety of apparently legitimate services, with malware hidden underneath that could use an Android device to quietly participate in a DDo. S attack, so long as the device was powered on. It’s not clear how many devices were infected—one Akamai researcher told journalist Brian Krebs that that number could be around 7. After noticing the attack on one of its customers, Akamai brought in researchers from a handful of tech companies including Cloudflare, Flashpoint, Google, Oracle Dyn, Risk. IQ, and Team Cymru. The group believes that the infected devices are spread throughout 1. In one instance, a Wire. X attack was accompanied by a ransom email, Cloudflare’s head of trust and safety Justin Paine told Gizmodo. Once the larger collaborative effort began, the investigation began to unfold rapidly starting with the investigation of historic log information, which revealed a connection between the attacking IPs and something malicious, possibly running on top of the Android operating system,” the researchers wrote in a joint blog post. The best thing that organizations can do when under a DDo. S attack is to share detailed metrics related to the attack. With this information, those of us who are empowered to dismantle these schemes can learn much more about them than would otherwise be possible.”This is just the latest example of apps containing malware making their way into the Google Play Store. Earlier this month, Google booted several apps that contained hidden surveillance software. Just last week, researchers found banking malware in the Play Store. With all these apps sneaking into Play, it’s up to you to protect yourself and your Android device.

Using Java for Serial Communication[edit]Introduction[edit]Because of Java's platform- independence, serial interfacing is difficult. Serial interfacing requires a standardized API with platform- specific implementations, which is difficult for Java. Unfortunately, Sun didn't pay much attention to serial communication in Java. Sun has defined a serial communication API, called Java. Comm, but an implementation of the API was not part of the Java standard edition. Sun provided a reference implementation for a few, but not all Java platforms. Particularly, at the end of 2. Sun silently withdrew Java. Comm support for Windows. Third party implementations for some of the omitted platforms are available. Java. Comm hasn't seen much in the way of maintenance activities, only the bare minimum maintenance is performed by Sun, except that Sun apparently responded to pressure from buyers of their own Sun Ray thin clients and adapted Java. Comm to this platform while dropping Windows support. This situation, and the fact that Sun originally did not provide a Java. Comm implementation for Linux (starting in 2. Rx. Tx library. Rx. ![]() Tx is available for a number of platforms, not only Linux. It can be used in conjunction with Java. Comm (Rx. Tx providing the hardware- specific drivers), or it can be used stand- alone. When used as a Java. Comm driver the bridging between the Java. Comm API and Rx. Tx is done by JCL (Java. Comm for Linux). JCL is part of the Rx. Tx distribution. Sun's negligence of Java. Comm and Java. Comm's particular programming model gained Java. Comm the reputation of being unusable.
Rx. Tx - if not used as a Java. Comm driver - provides a richer interface, but one which is not standardized. Rx. Tx supports more platforms than the existing Java. Comm implementations. Recently, Rx. Tx has been adopted to provide the same interface as Java. Comm, only that the package names don't match Sun's package names. So, which of the libraries should one use in an application? If maximum portability (for some value of "maximum") is desired, then Java. Comm is a good choice. If there is no Java. Comm implementation for a particular platform available, but an Rx. Tx implementation is, then Rx. Tx could be used as a driver on that platform for Java. Comm. So, by using Java. Comm one can support all platforms which are either directly supported by Sun's reference implementation or by Rx. Tx with JCL. This way the application doesn't need to be changed, and can work against just one interface, the standardized Java. Comm interface. This module discusses both Java. Comm and Rx. Tx. It mainly focuses on demonstrating concepts, not ready- to- run code. Those who want to blindly copy code are referred to the sample code that comes with the packages. Those who want to know what they are doing might find some useful information in this module. SSC (Java Simple Serial Connector) should also be considered. There is also another library called j. Serial. Comm that includes all its platform specific files in its jar, this makes it truly portable as there is no installation necessary. Getting started[edit]Learn the basics of serial communication and programming. Have the documentation of the device you want to communicate with (e. Set up all hardware and a test environment. Use, for example, a terminal program to manually communicate with the device. This is to be sure the test environment is set up correctly and you have understood the commands and responses from the device. Download the API implementation you want to use for your particular operating system. Read. the Java. Comm and/or Rx. Tx installation instruction (and follow it)the API documentationthe example source code shipped. Installation[edit]General Issues[edit]Both Java. Comm and Rx. TX show some installation quirks. It is highly recommended to follow the installation instructions word- for- word. If they say that a jar file or a shared library has to go into a particular directory, then this is meant seriously! If the instructions say that a particular file or device needs to have a specific ownership or access rights, this is also meant seriously. Many installation troubles simply come from not following the instructions precisely. It should especially be noted that some versions of Java. Comm come with two installation instructions. One for Java 1. 2 and newer, one for Java 1. Using the wrong one will result in a non- working installation. On the other hand, some versions/builds/packages of Rx. Tx come with incomplete instructions. In such a case the corresponding source code distribution of Rx. Tx needs to be obtained, which should contain complete instructions. Many linux distributions offer a Rx. Tx package in their repositories (Arch. Linux - 'java- rxtx', Debian/Ubuntu - 'librxtx- java'), these packages include only the platform specific parts of the library, but are generally ready to use. It should be further noticed that it is also typical for Windows JDK installations to come with up to three VMs, and thus three extension directories. One as part of the JDK,one as part of the private JRE which comes with the JDK to run JDK tools, andone as part of the public JRE which comes with the JDK to run applications. Some even claim to have a fourth JRE somewhere in the \Windows directory hierarchy. Java. Comm should at least be installed as extension in the JDK and in all public JREs. Webstart[edit]Java. Comm[edit]A general problem, both for Java. Comm and Rx. Tx is, that they resist installation via Java Web. Start: Java. Comm is notorious, because it requires a file called javax. JDK lib directory, something which can't be done with Java Web. Start. This is particularly sad, because the need for that file is the result of some unnecessary design/decision in Java. Comm and could have easily been avoided by the Java. Comm designers. Sun constantly refuses to correct this error, citing the mechanism is essential. Which is, they are lying through their teeth when it comes to Java. Comm, particular, because Java for a long time has a service provider architecture exactly intended for such purposes. The contents of the properties file is typically just one line, the name of the java class with the native driver, e. Win. 32. Driver. The following is a hack which allows to deploy Java. Comm via Web Start ignoring that brain- dead properties file. It has serious drawbacks, and might fail with newer Java. Comm releases - should Sun ever come around and make a new version. First, turn off the security manager. Some doofus programmer at Sun decided that it would be cool to again and again check for the existence of the dreaded javax. System. set. Security. Manager(null); Then, when initializing the Java. Comm API, initialize the driver manually: Stringdriver. Name="com. sun. comm. Win. 32. Driver"; // or get as a JNLP property. Comm. Drivercomm. Driver=(Comm. Driver)Class. Name(driver. Name). Instance(); comm. Driver. initialize(); Rx. Tx on some platforms requires changing ownership and access rights of serial devices. This is also something which can't be done via Web. Start. At startup of your program you could ask the user to perform the necessary setup as super user. Further, Rx.

GM's Buick Motor Division in Flint, Michigan was celebrating its 50th Anniversary at a time when American car companies were flush with cash in the post-war early. Today, Volkswagen’s former head of U. S. regulatory compliance, Oliver Schmidt, pleaded guilty for playing a key role in the Dieselgate emissions scandal. We knew the 4. 8 year- old German native would take a plea deal, but now, thanks to Reuters, we know the approximate damage. Schmidt pleaded guilty today to a single count of “conspiracy to defraud the U. S., to commit wire fraud and to violate the Clean Air Act,” and also to one count of violating the Clean Air Act. His plea involved spilling the beans on his involvement in the scandal. The Department of Justice says Schmidt admitted to meeting with other VW employees to devise a way to carefully answer the California Air Resources Board’s questions about VW TDI emissions discrepancies. The aim, there, was to convince CARB to approve the sale of vehicles Schmidt knew utilized a defeat device to circumvent regulations. Schmidt’s plea also involved him admitting knowledge of two reports sent from VW to the Environmental Protection Agency that were “fraudulent and misleading,” and he professed that he was aware that VW’s “Clean Diesel” marketing campaign was all a bunch of bogus. Though, upon his arrest in Florida, Schmidt faced 1. Reuters reports that the plea agreement will put Schmidt behind bars for up to seven years, cost him between $4. Jean E. Williams, Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division Deputy said her organization isn’t playing around with sentencing violators of clean air laws, saying: Schmidt participated in a fraudulent VW scam that prioritized corporate sales at the expense of the honesty of emissions tests and trust of the American purchasers.. Schmidt along with each and every official involved in this emissions scandal will be held fully accountable for their actions by the Department of Justice as this investigation continues. Schmidt was indicted earlier this year along with five of his peers. He now joins VW Engineer James Robert Liang and a South Korean VW exec by the name of Yun in the club of VW employees staring down the barrel of multi- month prison sentences. We’ll know the full extent of Schmidt’s punishment when Judge Sean F. Cox of the Eastern District of Michigan sentences him on December 6. Until then, watch the pre- dieselgate video above of Oliver Schmidt discussing his role at Volkswagen, and actually providing quite a lot of insight into the world of fuel economy certification.

Page Anti- Diversity Screed Circulating Internally at Google [Updated]Update 8/5/1. ET: Google’s new Vice President of Diversity, Integrity & Governance Danielle Brown has issued her own memo to Google employees in response to the now- viral memo, “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.” Brown’s statement, obtained by Motherboard, can be found in full at the end of this article. A software engineer’s 1. Google’s diversity initiatives is going viral inside the company, being shared on an internal meme network and Google+. The document’s existence was first reported by Motherboard, and Gizmodo has obtained it in full. In the memo, which is the personal opinion of a male Google employee and is titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” the author argues that women are underrepresented in tech not because they face bias and discrimination in the workplace, but because of inherent psychological differences between men and women. We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism,” he writes, going on to argue that Google’s educational programs for young women may be misguided. The post comes as Google battles a wage discrimination investigation by the US Department of Labor, which has found that Google routinely pays women less than men in comparable roles. Gizmodo has reached out to Google for comment on the memo and how the company is addressing employee concerns regarding its content. We will update this article if we hear back. The text of the post is reproduced in full below, with some minor formatting modifications. El centro ofrece, a lo largo de todo el año, cursos y programas variados de enseñanza y perfeccionamiento de hasta nueve idiomas.![]() Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted. Reply to public response and misrepresentation. I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and don’t endorse using stereotypes. When addressing the gap in representation in the population, we need to look at population level differences in distributions. If we can’t have an honest discussion about this, then we can never truly solve the problem. Psychological safety is built on mutual respect and acceptance, but unfortunately our culture of shaming and misrepresentation is disrespectful and unaccepting of anyone outside its echo chamber. Despite what the public response seems to have been, I’ve gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. ![]() This needs to change. TL: DRGoogle’s political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety, but shaming into silence is the antithesis of psychological safety. This silencing has created an ideological echo chamber where some ideas are too sacred to be honestly discussed. The lack of discussion fosters the most extreme and authoritarian elements of this ideology. Extreme: all disparities in representation are due to oppression. Authoritarian: we should discriminate to correct for this oppression. Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 5. Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business. Background [1]People generally have good intentions, but we all have biases which are invisible to us. Thankfully, open and honest discussion with those who disagree can highlight our blind spots and help us grow, which is why I wrote this document.[2] Google has several biases and honest discussion about these biases is being silenced by the dominant ideology. What follows is by no means the complete story, but it’s a perspective that desperately needs to be told at Google. Google’s biases. At Google, we talk so much about unconscious bias as it applies to race and gender, but we rarely discuss our moral biases. Political orientation is actually a result of deep moral preferences and thus biases. Considering that the overwhelming majority of the social sciences, media, and Google lean left, we should critically examine these prejudices. Left Biases. Compassion for the weak.

A software engineer’s 10-page screed against Google’s diversity initiatives is going viral inside the company, being shared on an internal meme network and Google+. Disparities are due to injustices. Humans are inherently cooperative. Change is good (unstable) Open. Idealist. Right Biases. Respect for the strong/authority. Disparities are natural and just. Humans are inherently competitive. Change is dangerous (stable)Closed. Pragmatic. Neither side is 1. A company too far to the right may be slow to react, overly hierarchical, and untrusting of others. In contrast, a company too far to the left will constantly be changing (deprecating much loved services), over diversify its interests (ignoring or being ashamed of its core business), and overly trust its employees and competitors. Only facts and reason can shed light on these biases, but when it comes to diversity and inclusion, Google’s left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence. This silence removes any checks against encroaching extremist and authoritarian policies. For the rest of this document, I’ll concentrate on the extreme stance that all differences in outcome are due to differential treatment and the authoritarian element that’s required to actually discriminate to create equal representation. Possible non- bias causes of the gender gap in tech [3]At Google, we’re regularly told that implicit (unconscious) and explicit biases are holding women back in tech and leadership. Of course, men and women experience bias, tech, and the workplace differently and we should be cognizant of this, but it’s far from the whole story. On average, men and women biologically differ in many ways. These differences aren’t just socially constructed because: They’re universal across human cultures. They often have clear biological causes and links to prenatal testosterone. Biological males that were castrated at birth and raised as females often still identify and act like males. The underlying traits are highly heritable. They’re exactly what we would predict from an evolutionary psychology perspective. Note, I’m not saying that all men differ from women in the following ways or that these differences are “just.” I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership. Many of these differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions. Personality differences. Women, on average, have more: Openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas. Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things, relative to men (also interpreted as empathizing vs. These two differences in part explain why women relatively prefer jobs in social or artistic areas. More men may like coding because it requires systemizing and even within SWEs, comparatively more women work on front end, which deals with both people and aesthetics. Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness. This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading. Note that these are just average differences and there’s overlap between men and women, but this is seen solely as a women’s issue. This leads to exclusory programs like Stretch and swaths of men without support. Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance). This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs. Note that contrary to what a social constructionist would argue, research suggests that “greater nation- level gender equality leads to psychological dissimilarity in men’s and women’s personality traits.” Because as “society becomes more prosperous and more egalitarian, innate dispositional differences between men and women have more space to develop and the gap that exists between men and women in their personality becomes wider.” We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism. Men’s higher drive for status. We always ask why we don’t see women in top leadership positions, but we never ask why we see so many men in these jobs. These positions often require long, stressful hours that may not be worth it if you want a balanced and fulfilling life. |
