I can't agree more with point 2. If you're looking for change without going to a new place then it's likely that your manager will be more then willing to try working with you. This is a tactic you should employ when approaching your manager with any type of grievance (interpersonal problems, project issues, etc). Coming up with potential solutions gives your manager something to begin enacting immediately. It also really reframes the discussion by showing that your a person looking to solve problems instead of just complaining.

Finally providing your own solutions also moves the locus of control internally. In my experience one possible contributor to burnout can be lack of empowerment.
Are you sure? A survey in 1977 showed that just 6% of farmers bought or sold crop futures (i.e. insuring a price for their goods). And apparently 3 in 4 of these farmers were buying futures (i.e. speculating on crop prices) rather than selling them.
That sounds like an excellent accomplishment if so.
I see it as helping myself future-proof myself. If I know I have inherent risks as I age, or worse, genetic mutations that could passed to my children, personally it's worth the possible data abuse to me.

It would be very unfortunate if this turns into Gattaca though.
I think this refers to the branding. Is google making an app for football and baseball teams to collaborate on playbooks?
All of these will probably mean Facebook might have an opportunity in Videos. Recently Youtube screwed up with Gaming which cannot compete even close with Twitch, older attempts to provide a premium service also failed now this is just pissing off everybody.
Which also means not always available inside the US, as Google's geo IP has to be the worst I've experienced. In Denver, they located me as being in France. After a while that got fixed. Now Google thinks I'm in Hungary. Despite multiple requests to fix it, it remains the same over months They could even automate it to some extent just by pinging. Use speed-of-light to determine that my system definitely cannot be in Europe.

A lot of things do not properly de-localize, when you select English or no customization. Menu text, alt text, logos, etc. all remain localized. It's a terrible implementation.

Chrome was (is?) worse. It'd "auto detect" the language to use based on IP, then refuse to remove it once running. So you'd have an English OS, sending "en" in the Accept-Language language header, and Chrome would decide you actually wanted Spanish or Russian or whatever, using .ru sites, etc.
> there should be a way for me to see all the requests

In my (Android) version of the app this is what happens if you click the button in the upper right hand corner.
"RedTube" makes this something akin to product mis-placement.
> While everything you said is true, I feel its worth pointing out entanglement is stronger than simply being able to generate the same number in two locations, a feat easily accomplished via classical means.

Really? That's not random, that's pseudo-random, so the secret is still just the seed distributed before hand. True randomness would be entirely uninvolved from other state, including location or time. This is really just combining the sharing and the generating into one process so you CAN share true randomness without sharing other state.
Thumbs up for this sorta reaction from managers. A boss should be a mentor and not someone you are afraid to go to, especially when times get rough.
We differ greatly in our definitions of "nightmare," "stupid," and "reasonable."

But that's ok.
When I think of "tube" and "red" the association is more unfortunate.
It is true that FB routinely breaks the APIs. It is also true that they will kill your app if it gets too big and they don't like it. It has happened to me 2x, and I have seen it happen to other apps as well.
Wind Tunnel brings developers back to the future
This comment made me less cynical.
Okay, I'll say it. When I see "Red" and "Tube" so close together, my mind jumps to the porn site, RedTube. They can't possibly have been ignorant of this
How do you feel about developing Clojure in Emacs, as a Vi guy?

I'm also more at home in Vi, but I ended up going with Cursive when I began learning Clojure (and I highly recommend it), but I've always been curious about the Emacs option.
I don't understand, can you explain?

Increased automation definitely decreases the per capita need for working-class people.

We would probably have a lot more automation already (especially in low-end agriculture/service-industry) if not for a seemingly inexhaustible supply of cheap labor from south of the border.

Woah. Quite interesting! Thank you. I've been increasingly interested in bioinformatics and your project seems quite nice. I will definitely give it a try.
I supervise developers. This is easy: talk to your boss. Either way, this solves your problem.

Outcome 1: it goes well. Your boss listens with empathy. Your boss works with you to find ways to help you feel better. You take some vacation or etc., and then come back to work feeling renewed. Success!

Outcome 2: it goes poorly. Your boss blows you off. Now you have an easy next step: Go find a better place to work (e.g., email me). Success!

I'm 24 (which is still weird to say) and so solidly in the target demographic and I'm constantly amazed by Snapchat. Both the app and the company. I literally checked out snapchats discover feature for the first time yesterday. I had no idea what to expect and honestly I loved it. I couldn't see that ever being the main way I consume media but it was enjoyable and relevant, so who konws. The ESPN story for example started with Mike Golic just ranting on the ridiculousness of a star player getting ejected from an MLB playoff game for arguing with a ref. I had literally had that exact same conversation with people a couple of hours earlier. This is obviously a huge coincidence but the focus on up todate relevant material is what allows this serendipitous interaction. And this has been my experience with Snapchat since the very beginning. I question why I would ever use a feature up until the point I finally try it and realize, damn this is cool.
I'm surprised you didn't note that Venmo forces you to carry a "Venmo" balance instead of paying out immediately to your bank account. That to me is the biggest area of superiority for Square Cash.
1. Survivor benefits: If someone is in a >2 person marriage, does that mean all of their spouses can continue to collect survivor benefits until the last person dies?

Survivor benefits continue as long as there is a surviving spouse. It doesn't matter if there are 1 or 3.

2. Tax-free inheritance: Similar to the above, but does a >2 person marriage mean everyone gets tax free inheritance?

Every surviving participant in the marriage inherits tax free. Just like now.

3. Healthcare benefits: Could you put 5 spouses on one employee-sponsored health plan?

Yes.

4. Tax laws: Tax laws would need a total rewrite because all brackets/amounts just support a single person or a 2-person marriage.

Married or Single are the current choices. That wouldn't be any different. It would actually incentivize multiple person marriage.
No, entanglement does not produce FTL. Entanglement is nothing more than (the first step of) a measurement.

> This is labels playing brinksmanship games with Youtube

While labels certainly need taking down a peg, this isn't just about labels; much smaller channels can take part in the YouTube partner program. I've seen channels with just a few thousand subscribers get offered partner status.

That said, I don't see any issue with this; YouTube is offering an ad-free option, and that only works if it means no ads, not fewer ads.
Not to mention the kids who grow up thinking that's just normal to constantly have your phone in your face.
Luciding – Induce Lucid Dreaming Through Transcranial Stimulation
In an anti-trust sort of way. A $2-$3 mark up is essentially inconsequential and could be due to the store cost or infrastructure, but if it were $9.99 for Android and $1,000.00 for iOS then there would be a pretty good case that Google isn't engaging in "fair competition."

Just something companies should watch out for. Even if campaign finance considers money to be speech and a founder or company might want to make a bold statement, doesn't mean that there aren't repercussions for acting unfairly toward competition.
None of the options are good.

They could have a modified version of Option 2, which is make the ad supported videos discoverable if the user chooses to allow id. They could also have a button to 'tell the content creator to support ad free mode'. It would essentially spam them into supporting it though.
Maybe it's because of age, but I don't know of any of my friends using any of those.

> We don't need more human drones; when properly funneled, increased immigration can mean a better economy.

Agreed. Importing millions of unskilled laborers is insane as automation picks up. Those jobs will be made redundant in short order. (They probably already would have been, but a massive pool of cheap labor meant little incentive for automation. Similar to the first steam-engines being unused by the ancient Greek ruling class http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/HeroAndLoon.htm)

Bringing in the select best and brightest from other countries is certainly wise though.
The gold standard was once seen in the same terms- a necessary check on government power. It was supported by economic theory, moral principle, and countless examples of currency disasters in the absence of the gold standard. But eventually we got rid of the gold standard and very few economists want it back.

Even a system as old and battle-proven as trial by jury is not necessarily the best possible system today. Personally, I think it is still a good system, but that questioning it is still worthwhile.
Why should there be a few lessons by someone impartial on the subject matter? At the moment the system relies on expert witnesses who are called by one side or the other with an agenda.
> Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the whole "work in our offices or quit" memo sent to virtual employees a while back not paying the dividends she had hoped.

I really doubt it. The "no work from home" edict applied to about 150 employees total; and the vast majority of them were deservedly kicked out. There were a handful who were doing a tremendous job, and the were allowed to WFH.
>> Then post your name and address.

I almost do. You should be able to locate my real world postal address inside of 10 minutes. Probably 5.

I'm not saying there should be no anonymity online. I think the default should be identifiable, and sites and services can strip that info and provide locally anonymous environments. That way you can't get anonymous attacks unless you're participating in those places. It's easy to strip ID, but hard to verify it if it's not built-in.
Twitter only has this problem because Twitter's earliest users were developers, who's development on top of Twitter also happened to be a significant part of why the company grew in the early days. So the perception is largely that they've screwed over the very people who helped them grow. Thus the frequent public outcry from those developers while Twitter reaps the rewards.

On the other hand, Facebook's earliest users were just college kids snapping pics of each other.
Any ads are inappropriate for my kids (and myself, for that matter). It's distracting, misleading. There's zero benefit, only potential negatives to thought processes and attention. I don't subscribe to any ad-based services and make sure they have ad-block properly setup on any devices (on Android this means Firefox with uBlock).

And in general, stupid content is far, far more worrying than "inappropriate" content. I'd rather have my kids see some nudity than many of the "kids" shows out there.
> Replace "white" with "jewish" and you'd fit right in with holocaust deniers/apologist.

Exactly, or "white" with "American Indian" or "aboriginal" and you can see exactly how people in the past supported such atrocious policies.

It's scary how far some people will go to achieve political goals.
6 metric tons of peas per hour per machine. The machine examines the pea from all sides while the pea is in free fall. A human would have to pick up each pea to do a comparable job. A kilogram of peas is about 4000 peas, so 1000 humans would each have to examine 24,000 peas per hour each, or 6 peas per second, to keep up.
That's a pretty subjective viewpoint there. Even after losing several cast members, it was still very highly rated and I personally thought the job Harmon and crew did to push through that was amazing.
Option 6: take advantage of whatever "we can change this agreement at any time" term in the partner agreement to just say "this is our new approach to getting revenue, and we'll give you a cut of that just like we give you a cut of ads".
Well I have a [conspiracy] theory that they knew his identity before the hack - perfect way for the director to leak information without being brought to book, send it to an account that can be easily accessed with social engineering.

Or we can go deeper, the CIA director was preparing to do this so the subject-to-be of the docs he wished to leak had his account hacked to expose the flaw and prevent the leak-to-be.

I don't think WD has any motivation to increase prices. The point isn't to stop SanDisk from competing with them. They need a SSD product and acquisition is easier for them than developing their own.

What I wonder is if WD will continue the green and blue lines. The writing is on the wall for spinning disks. They may reduce the number of HDD models they sell and make SSDs the new green.
How to Save an Ancient Language Before It Disappears
It depends on how tightly you define "Hadoop alternative" and exactly what you're trying to do. But generally speaking, the answer is "yes". There are technologies for doing large-scale distributed computation on clusters of commodity computers that don't require Java. In fact, many (most?) of them predate Java. You can, for example, build a Beowulf cluster[1] using something like Rocks[2] and program using MPI[3], OpenMP[4] or PVM[5].

The one big difference is that you don't get the advantage of the (relatively speaking) easy to understand and code against Map-Reduce API. Programming in MPI requires a bit more low-level fiddling... something like the difference between, say, programming in C vs programming in Java. Which is, I suppose, quite appropriate since most MPI programming is done in C (or using the C bindings from another language).

There are also some Map-Reduce implementations natively written in C++ floating around out there.

Note that if you do something like a Beowulf cluster you still need a distributed file-system to serve the role HDFS plays in the Hadoop world.

There's also this:

What are the reasons of your burnout, and is there a plausible way to recover without changing job? How much can your responsibilities, tasks, working environment etc. be altered? Improving your situation might be impossible, even if your boss and your colleagues care for your health.

Well, former US Attorney General Eric Holder took back his old job at the white collar law firm that represents these guys. Here's the money quote:

What's the difference between charging a super high amount versus simply not shipping for that platform? Should Google be forced to develop apps using Apple's tools for Apple devices? For Microsoft? Blackberry?
I'd recommend a flat-file CMS like Grav (http://getgrav.org).

It can run on any shared hosting, plus it does not even need a database, which makes managing a website super easy. Think making the site locally and updating it with a simple git push.

I don't think a simple website needs Heroku or another PAAS or even needs to run on Node.js, which introduces unneeded complexity.

I like how this response shifts the viewpoint from 1st person to 3rd person.
While it can definitely be perceived as bullying, what reason would someone have not to want to support the new mode? They will get revenue from their content, and that revenue doesn't get killed by ad blockers either. Where is the down side?
It's harder for me to get upset at instances of alleged corporate bullying when the result is clearly pro-user. If YouTube allowed video authors to opt out of Red, their only reasonable option (short of turning into a charity for said authors) would be to show Red subscribers those videos with ads. For a user, a service that's only "mostly" ad-free is only a pale imitation of the real thing - especially if labels decide to opt out en masse as a bargaining chip, and "mostly" starts to look a lot more like "largely" or "partly". Not a good way for Google to keep subscribers (who might turn to ad blockers instead), obnoxious for subscribers, and probably ultimately detrimental to the creators.

This is something I've struggled with and did discuss with my boss after listening to this podcast. https://www.accidentalcreative.com/podcasts/ac/podcast-two-t...

I shared the podcast with my boss but first with a disclaimer to not panic. I didn't want them to think I was on my way out. I found that the podcast addressed exactly what I was feeling in regards to burnout. I suggested a 1:1 with my boss after to discuss direction and how they can help me make my way out of my slump.

It ended up being a really productive conversation and my boss thanked me for giving them the chance to discuss this with them. Since then my boss has been throwing more challenges and opportunities my way to mix things up and help me avoid burnout but also find new directions in the company that I like.

So my advice is if you like your day job but feel stuck and have a boss you feel you can trust, bring it up. But delivery is key.
That was me up until a few months ago. A combination of a good track record and not wanting to be "that guy" caused me to switch. Don't make me regret it Venmo!
Yah, Google did the right thing here. You can't say "this service has no ads, then include ads", and you can't say "if you subscribe you see less videos".

They really had no other good choice except force them to sign up, or loose revenue sharing status.
Not entirely. There are platforms such as Google TV that can't block ads.
No ads but 240p for anyone not in the program. Or really just no-HD.

What would you want your boss to do?

Let's say this is a perfect, magical world where your boss will do everything possible to help you. What actions would she take? Would she switch you to another team? Reduce your workload? Allow you to work from home? Let you take a month off?

Basically your boss can't make your burnout magically go away. Figure out what you'd ideally want her to do. Then figure if that's even possible. If the concrete action you want is within your boss's power, then you may as well ask. But understand that your boss may say no, and you may end up quitting to get what you want.
