Did you read the article? It talks about how Koch donated to an economics department at a public university in return for having a say in who gets selected as a professor every year. That's a different form of donation than the common citizen's congributions to political campaigns.
A newspaper which is pro the right-of-center government, pro big business says that there is no need to reign in big business; because despite their winning streak over the last few decades and the mounting criticism of mounting inequality, things are going to turn against them any day now, honest!

Helping people with problems is absolutely the best thing to do. When people offend us, we tend to write them off as an "asshole" or general bad person. But they're still a person with the same motivations as everyone else.

It's entirely possible that most other staff aren't showing him as much respect as they do each other. He may feel miffed when he does something great and nobody compliments him while others doing seemingly lesser things are publicly congratulated. People responding to "assholes" in this way only perpetuates the hostile feelings of everyone involved, and even makes their behavior seem more justifiable.

Something to look for in a company when you're applying is how they treat people with problems - either poor performance, not fitting in with coworkers, etc. Some companies try to help the people with problems while others try to get rid of whichever party to the disagreements is most powerless. I've even seen a case where many coworkers were rude to one individual and antagonized him into aggressiveness, then he was fired after taking a vote and finding he was unpopular!
fully agree, stability first. mine story is similar. one can travel for rest of his/her life if wanted, but friends from childhood/teenage years are often something special and irreplaceable in life. if you don't nourish those relationships, usually they fade away.

you're not doing anybody any favor dragging kids around the world because of your crappy career goals, it's just being selfish.

If you want to be super good parent, take them each year for a month long vacation somewhere far and exotic (ie very different than their usual environment), that's more than enough.

They don't.

To sum up the situation, you have a co-worker that you can't work well with because of their behaviour. Your manager is aware of the situation and tried, but failed to get the co-worker to change their behaviour.

To make life easy for you, I'll lay out your options:

- Go to your manager with a plan for improving the co-worker's behaviour. Any other conversation about it will be pointless because the manager has shown that they are unable to fix the problem without help.

- Go to your co-worker and find a way to convince them to change their behaviour. Remember that the manager has already tried and failed at this. You will have to try an approach other than saying "I would really like you to change your behaviour".

- Engineer the termination of employment of the co-worker by means fair or foul. (Note that going above your direct manager or to HR is essentially an attempt in this direction).

- Find a way to be happy in your work, despite your co-worker's behaviour.

- Engineer your own termination of employment.

I think only one of these approaches is easy and none are without risk. If you are willing and able to help your co-worker, this is likely to have the best possible outcome. The chances for success, though, are vanishingly small.

Improving the quality of the team by engineering other people's termination is something that is not so difficult if you know how to do it, but it rather paints a big arrow at your head with the caption "I am evil". Whether you want to go down this route is entirely up to you. It often makes your team happy at the expense of the person you are targeting.

Finding a way to be happy despite the poor behaviour of your colleagues is a very nice outcome for yourself, personally, but it doesn't do much to help others who share your situation. Still, if you wait long enough, the co-worker in questions may gather enough rope to hang themselves.

Finally, you can leave. Knowing when you have had enough is a wonderful wisdom to have. There are risks, as you have said and nobody can evaluate them for you.

It's not a good situation to be in. It's not entirely uncommon, though, given the short period of time people tend to stay in groups in this field, you are likely to encounter the situation again sometime in the future. Building your own skills so that you can help people who suffer from being assholes is something that can be quite valuable (and even marketable). Alas, I have never learned the knack myself.
The Economist has been free-market oriented for 100+ years and conceives of itself as classically liberal, so I don't think there's any recent turn to the right. The main difference with some other free-market-oriented media (like some on the American right) is that they more fully adopt the European liberal tradition, including quite a bit of social liberalism, and acceptance of things like social safety nets, the need for good public schooling, openness to immigration, etc. That can sometimes make them seem progressive in an American context, but only in specific senses.

> As the networks currently pay a subsidy they're effectively Android's customers, at least in part

The networks have nothing to say in this in 90% of the world. They're not phone-vendor's customers. They merely want the latest data-gulping phones on their network so they can charge their real customers (people like you and me, which are also the phone-vendor's customers) money for consuming bandwidth.

I get that things are messed up in the US, but don't generalize this to the rest of the world.

Most networks and cellphone operators around the world sell generic phones, with unmodified software, unlockable bootloaders and carrier-provided SIM cards.

And for those phones, which you will find in big parts of the world, having Google responsible for software-updates would work just fine.

So, he is using an example of traditional media-heavy web sites in this specific case, but the general case still holds for many web applications such as:

- Google (you hit many search nodes to get the results for a single search, and Google goes to some effort to make sure you get back both accurate and fast responses)

- Facebook (there are many distinct services that have to be queried to render any FB page)

- YouTube (union of the above)

- etc

Now, I hope the engineers building these sites understand the points he is making, but they stand true either way.

First of all, you seem to be thinking of gender as a binary. If you think of it that way, "gender quality" might mean "men and women are equally represented everywhere" to you.

Gender is fluid, though. That leads us to a better definition of gender equality: the same opportunities for each individual, regardless of his/her gender.

You're right that people with an extreme female gender will gravitate to certain jobs/industries and people with an extreme male gender will gravitate to others. That will maintain a wage gap one way or another, among other forms of inequality.

The goal we need to reach is for children of all genders to have all possible paths open to them in their careers, lifestyles, and recreational activities.

He's taking a very pragmatic position that you will experience directly if you're ever responsible for the SLA of a "web scale" service.

His 5% / 95% observation is simply that you should not be focusing on the average, or even majority case if that's not what your users actually experience. One interpretation of the specific example you don't like is that more requests fell into a given range, thereby giving a distribution that the graph reflects. Another potential interpretation is just what he describes, where you have a set of especially poor performing requests at that point in time which effectively skew the distribution so that the 95th is "pulled up". His broader point is that you don't know based on this graph what you're dealing with, and he demonstrates a better visualization technique to determine the precise distribution of responses without having to look at every request.

? From what I've observed, people either don't know much about Reddit (usually over 40 y/o), or they talk about Reddit like an established site. See Bloomberg's interview with Sam Altman posted today. See the consistently incredible turn out of famous figures to Reddit's AMA series.

I mean, how can a website with 200 million users be considered a "dark corner"? Absurd.
... and by providing kids too much you actually spoil them easily and make... worse people out of them? or more likely they don't reach their potential as human beings, at least not that easily.

I mean, look around you, there are usually plenty of people who had it damn easy in life. this generates weakness. I am very happy I had to work my way up by myself, no cash cushion, no free apartment when turning 18 etc.it builds character to rely only on oneself, a priceless and one of most important lessons in life.

I say give kids good sporting equipment, give them free quality education (tricky bit in some places, but more expensive isn't automatically better for them), love them, support them and give them freedom, and you are excellent parent. rest is up to them.
In my opinion, don't involve a tier. You can't report a problem that has no solution: it's nobody's job to change the toxic co-worker.

Go talk to him, tell him how he makes you feel (not "you do this, you do that", but "I feel like shit when you say X"). And ask him to be kind/patient to less experienced devs.

Make him feel important by requesting his mentorship instead of acid complaints.

Tell him he can help empower others instead of belittling them.

Talking to a manager will only make things worse.

Except that at this point it's IMO worrying too much. Being afraid of having your name discovered is a bit on the paranoid side for most people. Hell, it's usually trivial to get that data off-line and dangerous people will likely target you directly.

By the way, some people don't even try. Few days ago I saw a girl on the tram carrying her CV in such a way it would be trivial to shoulder-surf her name, email, phone number, date of birth and home address.
As a former mathematician, I found it quite entertaining :-)

Plus, not only I would not find absurd the claim that a proof is simply "an argument that convinces someone who knows the subject." I actually agree with it!

For an egregious example, look at Perelman proof of Poincaré conjecture. According to a few experts, it is a complete proof, and it is just a matter of sketching out the details. According to Yau, it is more like a plan of attack, and the actual proof is due to his students.

We are talking about two field medalists talking about one of the most famous problems in mathematics and disagreeing whether something constitutes a proof

So you're OK with very rich people having more say in your democracy? I find that somewhat disturbing.
This might be true for high-skilled jobs, yes.

But the vast armies of uneducated, second-or-third-generation-jobless people will have their jobs slaughtered by automation. Truck/cab/freight delivery will be automated, freight handling and shipping will be automated, cleaning of public and private areas will be automated.

The only field I can see which will depend on low-skilled worker armies is construction.

And with the refugee crisis we just magnify the problem because the refugees will have to be integrated, they have to learn German and still lots of them will be lower educated than the rest :/

Since bigotry lately means "anything the person that call the other bigot don't likes" it is still quite broad.

A direct insult is easier to enforce.

The reason trolling succeeds is that it is extremely easy to induce powerful cognitive dissonance into people with strongly held unprovable beliefs. (Human life has value, god exist, humans are equal and the likes) And the only answer is aggression. The right are as easy pray as the left - mostly because there are large logical holes in any ideology.

That is because we use some axioms when we build our social order - but any attack on the axioms leave us unsecure and that the virtual tribe is under attack.

The more a person has allowed himself to degrade to a single identity - the powerful the potential blow is.

Probably one of the best (unintentional) trolls I have done is reducing old communist to tears by stating the rumors that Che was betrayed by Fidel with Raul as the organizer of said betrayal.
Shouldn't you try to invite him for a beer and talk about it?

Also, be careful when stamping the "toxic" label. I'm not saying you're wrong in your judgement, but maybe you just don't know what's happening with his personal life. I have a fellow colleague which I always considered at least "cranky" since I joined my current company (half a year ago). Last week we traveled to work abroad and had some free time to talk over beers - he confided me that his mother was and still is very sick. Tough stuff, which reminded me clearly how frivolous we all can be when making judgements.

These bit jumped out at me:
>Furthermore, national security, public interest and law enforcement
requirements of the United States prevail over the safe harbour scheme, so that United States
undertakings are bound to disregard, without limitation, the protective rules laid down by that
scheme where they conflict with such requirements. The United States safe harbour scheme
thus enables interference, by United States public authorities, with the fundamental rights of
persons, and the Commission decision does not refer either to the existence, in the United States,
of rules intended to limit any such interference or to the existence of effective legal protection
against the interference.

>This judgment has the consequence that the Irish supervisory authority is required to examine Mr Schrems’

whether, pursuant to the directive, transfer of the data of Facebook’s European subscribers

an adequate level of protection of personal data.

My reading (not a legal expert) is that data residency is the important bit here. Which in my view is a small step but not sufficient.
