Agreed. Trump's campaign isn't inspiring fear. As you say, it's using and amplifying existing fears to form and strengthen a relationship with as many people as possible -- to establish itself as a member of the voter's in-group.

Expanding on my earlier premise, notice how this activity resembles a sociopath who is attempting to control a target or, perhaps as a more concrete example, an abuser in an new relationship. The isolation and alienation map fairly well. This then proceeds on to the campaign then making policy promises that sound like very good things to those it has captured all while moving the goal posts to ensure those promises needn't be kept.

Of course, because they needn't be kept, these promises are distractions for whatever goals the campaign might actually have, if any. It would be refreshing to have, in office, someone who simply wanted the power of it and wouldn't know what to do with it once gained. Actually, that's terrifying.

The methodology is clever, if you can call it that, in that most it targets of it are willingly blind to it, but it's also quite transparent if you know how to interpret it. Ever spent some time with a couple who have a terribly manipulative co-dependent relationship? Much of politics is like that. Sadly, those who buy into the charade will have the dismissive statement, "you're too cynical," or, "you always see the worst in them," ready for use if you have a moment to talk about it with them -- no matter the party or policy, so long as it's their party or policy. Such is humanity. I may be cynical, but since when has that ever been a reason for dismissing an argument?

Of course, most campaigns (read, sociopathic entities whatever they may be - be they a corporation or a single person) work this way. It's the easiest and most efficient way to gain control in, around and over any group of humans. The really terrifying thing is, once you've realised what's going on, you can never unknow it. I suppose that learning to cope with that realisation is something most people never really have to do whether through ignorance or, well, not coping with it.
It comes down to Conway's Law [0]:

> organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations

If you are a single team producing it, then build a monolith. If it is a diverse set of teams collaborating, then build microservices.

interesting to see the comparison between ESP8266 and CC3200. However, on a quick glance it is hard what Smart.js is about and what platform it supports best. This might be interesting to know in the context of a book that I am working on, see http://embeddednodejs.com/chapters.html
It's hard to know what happened without hearing both sides of the story.

In this case, what we can guess it looked like from her manager's point of view was: she kept taking days off, with excuses that didn't seem to make sense (can't find car keys), and now she wants to take three more days off.

Without trying to blame anyone, I feel bad for her and hope her boyfriend recovers.

Interesting - very much not my experience. I think part of this is a question of typed languages (and structured build systems) vs. dynamic - with a typed language you can have strongly enforced separation between different parts of the codebase without needing to split them across a network connection.

> Even with a small team, microservices allow us to make small iterative changes to services without touching other parts that are working as they should be.

My experience is this should be the case anyway. Having the ability to "find usages" in the IDE, and lots of compile-time enforcement, gives me a lot of confidence that changes haven't affected anything unrelated.

> It's easier to find and patch bugs when they can be pinned down to a smaller codebase and fixed in isolation (most can be).

True but not something I find microservices help with. Any decent debugging/introspection tools are going to give you better information than a network sniffer.

> Local development becomes easier - you can spin up just the services you need for the feature you're developing instead of the entire system.

Don't forget the overhead of the network layer though. Particularly if you're using service discovery (and if not you have a config problem), I find running two or three microservices locally is heavier than running a monolith that contained the equivalent of ten of those services, and it's a fiddle to start the right ones during development. As long as the codebase remains a size that can be comfortably run on a single machine (and start up reasonably quickly, and all be open in the same IDE at the same time, and so on), it's much easier to just run the whole thing.

> It's easier to get "up to speed" when you need to add a feature when you're working with small codebases (and often only need to touch one or two at a time).

True up to a point - there's an intimidation factor, but I don't think it's actually any harder to understand a folder in a repo of ten folders than a repo that's separated from the other ten. And separating creates a barrier to organically expanding your understanding. If you have distinct build modules then project encapsulation is enforced just as much as for microservices.
Thanks all for the comments.
Wow, I checked it out, I didn't realize it but payday loans can be up to 400%: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/1567/what-payday-loan...

These posts in a nutshell: "I am bad at managing my finances. Also, it is much easier to blame big companies than to introspect and try to improve myself."
Which just makes me wonder what the point of it is. I guess if you really love Windows and want to build an embedded system this would be the way to go. I'm betting that most people that build embedded systems are not Windows developers and I'm not sure that this IoT offering changes anything.

Sure. Though the Zero-hours contract is the modern loophole that's being enthusiastically exploited: A person on a zero-hours contract may not technically actually be an employee. And even if they are, the employer can just threaten to withhold paying work, since no work is guaranteed.

I was under the impression that her trial period, or the american equivalent if there's such a thing, was long since finished. If that assumption is incorrect, I agree that taking sudden unpaid leave during one's trial period is dangerous.

That being said, it's happened in my company and we most definitely didn't fire the person for that. I can see how it could happen, but I don't think it's a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination.
thanks

Is "single mother" some kind of minority status she keeps repeating at every sentence?
Single mother is a choice of an independent woman and if she cant afford it she should probably not make it.

The father of her child might have died, or left 10 years after the baby was born, etc. Saying she shouldn't have made this choice is completely idiotic. It's highly unlikely she chose her situation.

I wont hire such a person.

You will, because you have to. Deep down everyone is this person. We will all take time off to look after our families and prioritise things above our jobs if they're important to us. An employer has to understand this, especially when you get to the size of Yelp and you're employing call centre sales staff.

> It is possible that she has a long history of staying absent from work.

She did. She'd only been working there from December, used up all her sick-days while still in training, and missed even more days in the following months. One time she missed work because she couldn't find her car keys. It sounds like her manager got fed up and that was the end of it.

Being a single parent is hard.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. In my mind also, her early risk of a low salary is equally equatable to the up front investment of college/university.
I agree with your point that writing this post could be a red flag for future employers, however:

> Single mother is a choice of an independent woman and if she cant afford it she should probably not make it.

With respect, this is a very naive and simplistic view of the situation which displays a lack of empathy. I doubt many women make the explicit choice to become single mothers. There are many reasons she could have ended up in this situation. Perhaps her husband died, or ran away when he discovered she was pregnant.

You might as well say that being in a car crash is the choice of an independent driver, and if they didn't want to experience pain they should not have chosen to be in a car crash.
They are not treating employees like replaceable 'trash'. They are treating employees like replaceable workers.

And this relationship goes both ways. Employees can treat their employers as replaceable. Although I haven't seen an equivalent loaded word for 'trash' in this scenario.

And there is no reason to believe that the only reason she was fired was because she wanted days off. Based on her own testimony, which is the best version of the events for her, she had many times used leaves to care for her children and put her manager in a 'difficult position'. So she would have been marked as a bad employee.

As for the union. A union of sellers of anything is called a cartel and is illegal, but if it's a union of sellers of labour then it is suddenly the shining beacon of equality. The only real difference is that union of sellers have way more voting power.
It's stories like this that cause everyone in Europe except the blind SV worshippers and libertarian fundamentalists to just shrug and shake their heads every time a rant comes up about how the US is so much better for startups and entrepreneurs.

And this thread is just full of sociopaths blaming the victim. SV culture disgusts me.
Surely this isn't worth it in the long run for Yelp. I understand if someone was constantly absent in a way that looked like they were abusing goodwill.

Surely though, the loss of morale from fellow employees over an incident like this is not worth it, unless you want to reinforce some kind of authoritarian workplace where people better keep quiet and stay in line if they want to continue being employed.
> they got paid higher wages, and got treated with a lot more dignity over it

This. But I guess working conditions will need to go back to early 20th century ones for people to find out how low can things go without bargaining power.
Let's not downvote a guy for asking what appears to be an honest question. I'm curious about this too. I suspect the question comes from a different interpretation of what 'social conservative values' means, so an explanation would be valuable.
Oh, sure, I wasn't really commenting on the original story but on the parent's assertion that it'd also get you fired in Europe, which I think is either untrue or too general a statement.

Firing a single mom for needing to take time off to take care of someone close to her, especially when it would appear her performance has been at least acceptable (if maybe not her attendance)... right or wrong, it's still a bit of a dick move, wouldn't you agree?

Well, this is protected by law in the US, resulting in a similar guaranteed win if sued, the caveat being "boyfriend" not included under "family".

Isn't that what a lot of sales environments are like? High pressure to perform, constant turnover, management who only care about the quarterly numbers?
There are cases when people wear things simply for how it looks.

I think that applications in industrial safely is rather the opposite of these.
Firing somebody for not working is clearly sensible. Your opinion of whether Yelp's action is reasonable is irrelevant.
There are enough "studies" (Buffer, Gabe N, ROWE etc.) that demonstrably prove that treating humans like humans, and not like machines, measurably increases performance over longer time-frames - instead of eking out unproductive work over the paltry 3 days while she worries about her boyfriend.

> Its relation with her is that of business

Her relation to the company is that of employee and not slave.

Henry Ford dreamed up this current work environment where people are treated like machines. There is absolutely and utterly zero science to back up this business methodology. Managing people with fear is nothing more than a morally bankrupt global religion that people unwittingly buy into.
>Society does not owe any special treatment to a single mom

One of the measures of a civilised society is how well it looks after its most vulnerable members.
Having ground and vcc swapped is very different than just shorting ground and vcc. USB protects against overcurrent and transients, but if you are applying something above 5V or below 0V to any of the USB pins, all bets are off. Since the chromebook was ungrounded, 5V became ground. This means that from the laptops perspective, -5V was applied to the VCC pin. that's 10V out of spec.
True - those were the days...

This is ridiculous.

Society does not owe any special treatment to a single mom, not more than any other mom

That's not true, in the US provides aid packages and grants to single mothers.

Single mother is a choice of an independent woman and if she cant afford it she should probably not make it.

Do you think all single mother chose to me single? Don't you think her previous boyfriend/husband could have dumped her/died/...?

Instead of being thankful for an employer to have given an opportunity in first place she is ranting against her employer.

May be because said employer is terrible and it's worth sharing so other people would not make the same errors?

I wont hire such a person.

No worries, she probably has no intention to work for you.

You seriously need to leave your cave and experience the life in a modern society.
I would much rather see an implementation of the Web where by default websites need to ask for your permission to load and execute scripts. This would prompt the creation of a widely accessible "reach web" which would never break screen readers or URLs, wouldn't invade your privacy, and could be accessed with a text-only browser. Then there would also be the "rich web" - parts of sites which behave like an app and consequently need user approval to run, rather like you need to "approve" an actual app by downloading it. Many challenges to consider but I think this would solve a lot of problems.
We all got problems.

Why should Yelp be responsible for her problems?

If we made a list of every large company that violated a reasonable code of human morality.. the wheel was spun and today's public outrage is at Yelp. This stuff happens all the time. Sure we get outraged at the random story we come across every now and then, but largely we are numb to it.

I just think the most valuable thing we can do to prevent these situations is have deeper discussions on the macro level instead of micro-analyzing single cases that have all sorts of bias and obfuscation.

> Large corporations (this one has north of 3k employees and is pulling in hundreds of millions in revenue)

The statistic 'revenue' is well chosen to support your point, because they also posted a net loss in 2015, and 2013, and 2012 and 2011, all in the order of tens of millions of dollars, so while they have a lot of receipts they don't actually have any spare cash.

Companies, big or small, have some quota of instances where they can engage in charity instead of business (that is, make decisions on the basis of their humanitarian value rather than how much they increase net revenue), sometimes they literally engage in charity outside of the company (sponsoring good causes) and sometimes they engage in charity inside the company.

However, if they exceed their quota, they go bankrupt, and then they are incapable of engaging in any future charity and also everyone who works for them gets fired. Companies who consistently lose money (like Yelp) have a lower quota for charity than companies who consistently post profits.
theyre actually still probably net negative - it costs money to train someone

innocence is brilliant

one of those rare occasions where the sequel is just as good as the original but for completely different reasons

> I don't have any idea of what it was trying to say.

i am guessing this is in response to the way the characters have entire conversations with only referencing abstract quotes.. and to this i have to say i like this kind of dialogue

if you do too, i would recommend the mid century new wave, specifically jean luc godard.. there is a sac episode in homage to him as well so perhaps my seeing similarities is more than coincidence.. stuff like pierrot le fou and notre musique are heavy with these quotation dialogues

if you dislike this sort of writing style, may i suggest some ways to enjoy it more:

you could watch the film like you would read a book, maybe a chapter a night spread out over a few nights to give you time to digest your mind's philosophical ramblings, and allow you to flip back and forth to track context

also, or, you could get a list of all of the quotes used in the film from their original authors and read them, considering their meanings, before watching the film

it can be frustrating to try to keep up with abstract concepts and poetic structures when you have the time frame subtitles afford

by reading the quotes before hand you will recognise immediately what is being said and be able to consider the context of your understanding of its meaning within its placement in the film

having one character dismiss another by answering a question using a quote from a 19 century poet, then later have another character, absent from the original scene implying omnipresence, recycle that quote in a completely different context and then also finish the rest of the quote altering its meaning is masterful writing

spoilers from the original 1995 film ahead:

it is rare to see someone take something as brilliant and successful as the 1995 ghost and decide to make a sequel completely abandoning the original's main character and themes to focus the main thread on a support character from the original

innocence is the story of how those left behind deal when a respected person leaves and how that void pulls all of them around

batou in innocence is a different batou from gits, in the absence of the major he begins to take on the inquisition that made the major so powerful, and this worries everyone else in the same way batou was worried about the major in gits

batou's mirroring of the major's personality is only able to be relieved to his own personality again due to the event at the end of the film

what oshii did with innocence is commendable

i think all of the ghost material is masterful and great fodder for staring out of windows

If she was a top-notch performer Yelp would have bent over backwards to keep her around.

The fact that they didn't would imply that the trouble of keeping her is less than the cost of firing her, which says a lot about the performance of an employee.
> people take out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in loans to go to college

I also do not understand this when there are many cheap or free options [1] in the US, and most private colleges have excellent scholarship programs (i.e. free rides) for those smart enough, but not rich enough to attend (much better than anything in Europe). Especially when the cost of education has skyrocketed and its payoff is so low - hell, I usually ignore the education part of the CV when hiring.

Having the right to live and study in the US, being eligible for these opportunities is a treasure by global standards (even if some European countries have it a bit better). But that's a separate discussion.

> It annoys me that you are focusing on the things she did "wrong" rather than asking whether Yelp is culpable for some of the blame here.

This position you implied for me, but it was not what I was stating. I am attempting to understand the reasons behind the displayed pattern of decision making (and you indeed provided a plausible explanation), not passing any kind of moral judgment.

The tool is cool but in practice just detecting that DOM is violated and notifying the user in one way or another (like reducing functionality of the site) should work better. Also it is much harder to defeat especially if detection takes into account the layout.

Update: the detection-only also helps with accessibility as obfuscated DOM makes it impossible to use with screen readers etc.
