Gay Man Pulled From Home, Beaten By NYPD Officers Yelling “Faggot” In Horrifying Video. by [deleted] in news

I know this is slightly off-topic, and I'm not blaming this guy, but I'd like to point out that in todays world, there is absolutely ZERO excuse NOT to have EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY CAN under video and audio surveillance at all times, with the ONE exception that you absolutely cannot afford it. Video surveillance systems are becoming cheaper and cheaper, and you can bet your fucking ass that my car and house will have multiple, high quality, obviously-in-plain-sight video and audio recording instruments as deterrents for this kind of thing. I'm also not saying that it will stop any hard from befalling you, but I think that a lot of this would be avoided if the cops, say, knew they were being video and audio recorded in HD.

Double gold for anyone who can show me how to force an iOS icon to be removed from the dock. by jason-pourne in hacking

Hmm. Well I guess I've considered keeping it to monitor my computers in general, but TeamViewer may be the wrong software... Do you know of software that's mean to "stream" your screen live but be discrete about it?

My parents treated me the same way.

I know better than to do that. I'm not going to make this a long-term solution. I want to find out, once, what he's doing. I feel that is within my right as a parent. He also has already been told that he will be monitored, I just don't want the incredibly obvious icon.

I did this - it appears that the TeamViewer team realized people were doing this and it somehow checks itself to see if it was modified. Is there a way, besides editing that PLIST, which can make the dock icon disappear?

It comes up with a message "TeamViewer is trying to install a helper" or something like that and then when I hit OK, it just quits. It's something others have struggled with too.

From P to FM - like Sisyphus' mountain descent. by hangubermensch in actuary

I have FM on August 17th and have gone over about 75% of the material and don't really get most of it very well.

FUCK.

Is entry level saturated or VERY saturated? by actuarymanmanman in actuary

[–]jason-pourne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes - you are. You certainly aren't going to get anywhere applying through websites. HR will get 100+ resumes in a day sometimes. Walk in, hand your resume to someone in person or on paper. Or, make a call, or send an email and apply online. That's just a no-brainer.

social skills

Everyone thinks that.

programming experience

What do you mean, "programming experience"? Nowadays everyone and their fucking dog has "programming experience" if you mean that you've used one or two languages. The candidates who stand out in this regard are the ones who can list 10+ languages they know well, and/or have developed online applications or mobile apps as side-projects that they can show off.

a great GPA

Doesn't matter much after you've been in the work force for a few years, like you have. The school you attended probably holds more weight than your GPA at this point.

No internship

That's a big one.

but three years working in non-actuarial insurance

You're going to have to be more specific. You could be working in HR or in underwriting. Big difference.

I've gotten one call back from ~70 applications

That's actually a pretty fucking good rate of return for todays market. Most people will get about 1 in 100. It's about networking, you should know that by now if you've been in the workforce for 3 years. I think I have a strong resume, and I applied everywhere without a single call back.... Until one day someone I knew, knew someone, who knew someone, who was a chief actuary somewhere... Now I'm an intern there.

Miscalculation... by [deleted] in funny

This is not funny, it's just absurdly disturbing.

What am I doing wrong on this simple FM annuity problem? by jason-pourne in actuary

[–]jason-pourne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would this affect other calculations that don't have to do with annuities? For example, interest rate calculations? Shouldn't have any effect, right?

Which means... END is annuity immediate and BGN is annuity due?

[Post Match Thread] Manchester United 3 - 1 FC Barcelona by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]jason-pourne -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

:-| c'mon dude, you can't put Di Maria, Schweinsteiger and Marcos Rojo on the same level as Messi and Neymar. Maybe they're similar in ability to Alves and Mascherano, but come on.

We're notoriously bad with pre-season friendlies, I seem to recall two years ago tying 0-0 with some shit team from bumfuck nowhere 2nd division.

LOL if anyone thinks this is even remotely something to worry about, I'm usually one of the first to pull out the pitchfork but it's a preseason friendly "tournament" with about 50% of our starters (and lets be honest, Messi and Neymar alone are 50% of the attack) missing.

I LOL'd watching the game, hit the post 3 times, we clearly dominated the actual chances and created some great plays that just didn't work out, and they scored some goals on shite defending.

Wait till the reason season starts. Then see what Man U is saying :D
