You're right he does not say that. But realistically if he saw it fit to go to war (and unless he's a pacifist) any involvement in war would involve the above, whether intentionally or not. You cannot honestly go into a war and think you can avoid that.

Maybe Trump really is looking forward to a conflict to commit such things, or he's realistic in that if his admin did get onto one, he's willing to admit the consequences.

The one I'd fear would be Cruz who is/was or wanted to sound like a warmonger.
Summary: A 15 year old Canadian boy, William Gadoury, discovered a lost Mayan city after three years of work. He realized a novel correlation between Mayan constellations and their city placement. Using Google Maps he matched 117 cities to 22 different constellations. Applying his theory to a 23rd constellation revealed possibly one of the largest Mayan cities ever discovered. He named it K'aak Chi, or Fire Mouth. Here is the Canadian Space Agency's satellite image of the site: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2016/05/10/97464...
To be fair, the practice of flying in fish from Tsukiji could easily be more related to prestige than quality. There are three major fish markets in Tokyo, and nobody cares about two of them (Kanda and Koto).
I think compelling someone to be an employee of a company is stupid and governments are basically doing this. Not everyone wants to be an employee which forces you to be managed by the company and have less flexibility with your lifestyle.

But I suppose those drivers that want to remain independent contractors could just register an LLC and then contract with Uber. Probably the most sensible so they could use multiple platforms too.

Then California gets $800 per year per driver for the privilege of running an LLC. Not a bad strategy for the state. Squeeze the company, the employees and the contractors all at the same time.
A huge amount of the Hello work was really WebRTC, which is a standard--and an important one. Hello is a front end to that.
> I wonder if we should have men/women segregation in the workplace.

That assumes all of your employees are heterosexual.

Once you assume some employees may be homosexual, bisexual, non-binary, asexual, etc. you quickly get a graph where employees are nodes are edges are "could possibly have unwanted attraction towards" that is not bipartite.
Agreed. Facebook is pretty irrelevant with the High School crowd. Every has smart phones with apps that offer far less friction for communicating.

And teen pregnancy. You know with all the warming they're more tempted to take their clothes off.

It's interesting that TFA also points out that increased CO2 makes the starchy parts of the plant grow faster, which is why the percentage of protein is lower. CO2 - good for plants.

Not sure why your comment's light grey, but dang is... a/the moderator or the guy who runs HN or? I know it's something like that, and I just tried to look it up so I could tell you definitively, but I can't seem to find it stated explicitly anywhere here. Seems fair that a casual site user wouldn't know, if I'm not even entirely certain, and I'm on here every day.

edit: OK, I found https://blog.ycombinator.com/meet-the-people-taking-over-hac... which says he's "in charge of the HN community". (I kind of wish I didn't have to turn to a 2 year old blog post to see that stated.)
How many 10 year old software projects on the scale of Firefox don't have 10 year old open bugs?

The 4 things you mentioned are still false.

She made it clear to the FOUNDER that the conduct was unwelcome. Did she tell it to the new employee? Did he repeatedly talk to her in the same manner after being told it was unwelcome? We don't know.

I have no problem calling a coworker an "asshole", especially on my own time while taking a beer with him.
Without context, that the new employee said "milf" doesn't convey anything other than he found the lady sexually attractive. His seducing techniques might be abyssal, or she might be the kind of girl that likes a little spices.

Again, we don't have near enough information to make a judgement here.

One could make the argument that having our healthcare and basic social insurance be administered via company payrolls is insane. I might even join your party to reform that.

I don't see how taking on downside risk improves the wholesaler's position (in fact, I think the rationalization is an even more degenerate case).

The fact still remains that the wholesaler has fabricated an order on the knowledge of a customer's pending order, which affected the execution price of the customer's order, before the customer could even know that it happened.

Even if the wholesaler sent their order to an exchange and still matched with their customer, it is still front-running, as the wholesaler is using knowledge of their customer's order to, essentially, eliminate all possible price improvements.

So, what is being called a "limit order" is just code for "we might just fill your order at your limit [when there are no market orders], if we think we can make money off [front-running] your order with our own".

It would perhaps be acceptable if the wholesaler offered some kind of kick-back on any profits made, but that would need to be a different kind of order and I'm not aware of anywhere that does it.
Interesting, had not considered that at all.
So basically, to ensure the old reference is not released, just naming it would do the trick? AKA:

He has said before that key changes in the wild are an extremely common event. I imagine even just the notification that chats are now encrypted caused a lot of confusion and upset given the enormous size of the userbase.

Spamming users with warnings that 99.9999% of the time will not be understandable let alone actionable is a quick way to get another SSL warning dialog scenario.
I could have, although I've owned a few Roku boxes and they've all been slow, unresponsive and crash-prone. We actually upgraded from Roku to Chromecast.

Amazon would prefer I buy their Fire TV stick thing, which they would then use as a hook to sell me more Amazon stuff. Given Amazon's attitude towards Apple and Google's streaming devices, chances seem decent to me that if Roku ever increased its market share then Amazon might cut them off.

I'd rather just use another streaming video store.
As a professional educator (at many different levels -- a college TA, a museum educator with K-12 programs, and working in an elementary school) the expectation I was given was to never be alone in a place that isn't publicly visible with any student under the age of 18, of any gender, ever. With students over the age of 18, there was still a strong expectation to keep student-teacher interactions semi-public. (I am male, but female instructors were given the same expectation at every stage.)

Using Facebook messenger as a free intercom replacement
Facebook hasn't destroyed the web - it's still there and functioning fine. Hyperlinks still work.

What FB has done is made it easier for the lazy to connect with and stay within their own interest groups. FB has made it easy for people to ignore negative information with tons of cat pictures (I am as guilty as anyone for that) and cheerful little meaningless quotes. It's made it easier to post misinformation and spread it quickly.

But none of that has destroyed the internet. The internet (or more specifically, information) was going to get harder to find and navigate anyway, once you turn it loose on a few billion people.

Sure, in the early days, you could encapsulate 75% of existing websites in one directory, but thanks to the efforts of spammers, link farmers, and other lowlife, in addition to the efforts of well-meaning people, and faulty and well-working search algorithms, it's a mess.

But it was going to happen and FB is not to blame for it. If they are to blame for it, we all equally share the guilt.

The thing is, the world is full of people who are abusive or terrible when in private or one-on-one, yet adhere to social norms when in a group. Every woman I know who has reported her rapist or her harasser has had this said to her in some variation--it couldn't happen here, because we're not like that. It doesn't work that way.

I've had conversations with male friends about this that eventually boiled down to, "well, I just don't want to think the people I know and like could be capable of that." Yeah, imagine how much we hate it.

Sexual harassment is always a big deal due to it being illegal according to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/publications/fs-sex.cfm

You will need to insure your company, employees and yourself are legally protected by visiting an attorney as soon as possible. As it appears you do not have the standard company guidelines and procedures in place for investigating and terminating employees found violating law. Your attorney should be able to help you draft the proper paperwork and procedures to accomplish this in your company policy and employee training.

When you talk with your attorney there may be more things that are required to do legally (filing a police report, filing charges, having the employee harassed file charges if she wants too, etc.). The attorney will be able to walk you through everything you need to do. As it may not be a big deal to your employee now, but that could change down the road, especially if it unfortunately picks up again or escalates. Now would be the best time to resolve the issue while it is only at the texting phase, as things would go downhill for your entire business quick if it were to escalate in the near future.

I hope you are able to get this sorted quickly as it is very important to have something like this in a well known zero tolerance policy that everyone knows about on their first day on the job during their on boarding process.
No, I'm just saying that this name is taken. Uh, better. It is already taken, better. :)
I have no sympathy for the "boys will be boys" side of this argument. I am a male in my early 20's so am familiar with the mindset. Sure maybe zero tolerance is a bit far, but every woman I know has a story like this. Every one has had to deflect some strange workplace advance or some uncomfortable proposition by a superior. The problem is magnified 10 fold when the workplace is so heavily skewed male (as it is in tech). Retroactive sensitivity training isn't going to fix this problem.
I get some of my best work done on a plane. I flew out of LA a few months back and a family of five (mom, dad, daughter, and two young boys) had the rows behind me. They made a lot of noise and were just being kids. The dad apologized and offered to buy me a drink. I told him no need, because that activity allowed me to focus on what I was doing. I think that I added a new feature that I was mulling over during that flight.

I love coding in public spaces. Life acts as a very good white noise
Agree. I would definitely not want to work at the kind of place you mention (it actually sounds a little bit like modern academia in the liberal arts). But third-hand information aside, I can't imagine a context in which someone would feel it's okay to act like this at a brand new workplace.

I wouldn't call the discussion here histrionic either. I think it's a progressive dialogue of really differing opinions, which I find are illuminating issues I hadn't thought of. Also most people here are pretty intelligent and would be treating it like a thought experiment, as we know we do not have all the information at hand.

That's a good point. Also, in the process of solving one problem you may discover a more interesting, more relevant, more general, or more universal problem you could be solving instead.
If you don't have the younger markets, you don't have a future. Once their parents are on a service, the younger market isn't if they don't need to be.

Facebook is delaying it by playing big in International markets and in developing countries but the social aspects can't be outrun and won't change, as I said, it's a BIG fad but it's a fad and it will die a fad's death in due time.

Why do think Zuck is pushing the Facebook private Internet in the developing world so hard? He's not stupid, he sees the writing on the wall.
I'm glad that you exist.

From what I get reading these threads on this post, many people with power to fire and hire people know a big glossy nothing about human interaction and psychology. Not even one person gives a thought to whether the guy knows what MILF actually is. Not a single consideration was given to his age, his background, his experience. No chance to make a single mistake. Is it mostly like this in the US?

And after all, if the woman thought that she was sexually harassed, I don't understand why she didn't tell that to the guy himself first, or didn't go to police, before telling it to her boss. We're talking about a bunch of adult, employed people here, why does the boss have to act like a primary school teacher overseeing interactions between adults?
Slither+Hack
An awful lot of people here are ready to fire the guy without due process. And you cannot say "third hand information aside." You cannot set that fact aside. It is all we have to go on.

A lot of what has been written here does look histrionic to me.

This is very confusing and the argument don't hold very much.
It looks sadly more like a justification against making the effort, which he has a right to not want to attempt, but doesn't make sense.

The real issue is how can we have an open governance model that moves protocol forward a lot faster and it seems that with a little imagination we could tackle most of the pain points. So maybe we should fix the infrastructure instead of celebrating silos that don't talk to each other even when using the same protocols?
Because intentionally misleading people is a problem.

Indeed. I learned this the hard way.
I've read the "blogs were great, FB is bad" article a few times in recent years and put it off as whining. I was a whiner myself when Usenet gave way to blogs but got over it.

However, it might be different in emerging markets where phones are the primary platform and FB may be dominating, not really sure if that's true but certainly different from the US.
For those interested in the teaching philosophy behind contextual electronics you might be interested in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_9Q4DoUlT8

He favours diving into a teaching example where the student has little background knowledge and expanding later. While my interests are more in the fundamentals I can appreciate the motivation behind this approach, especially in an online environment where keeping your students engaged is key.
But everything will depend on the padding module.
Well, to a certain extent, they do exactly agree to that. You cannot post objectionable content on Facebook.

Additionally, the Facebook feed is not a linear display of content. The feed has been manipulated for a while now. So users have known for a long time that Facebook changes what they view according to Facebook's whims.

Definitely part of the short release cycle, we'll probably focus on getting modules done and the features already pending into "unstable", and a few more minor stuff, and release it.
For the example given I am not primarily interested in controlling how many results I get: when filtering by price I want to filter by the precise amount money I am willing to spend.

Putting in weird non-linear mappings between slider position and slider value is ok if the slider value is in some meaningless units, but if I am to filter by something that has meaning to me, I usually want to control it predictably...
She did the correct thing. She went to her boss. That is where she should seek remedy before going to the police.

It is typically dangerous for a woman to try to assert herself directly with a man she feels is harassing her. I am particularly savvy and I confronted him and also copied our two bosses and I was well aware I was taking a serious risk. But I also was 100% clear that if I did not take a firm stand with the first incident, it would only get harder.

This is a problem space I have studied for a lot of years. I am unusually well equipped to deal with it. Please don't start talking like the guy must be innocent. That is as bad, or worse, than the people ready to hang him high with zero due process.
Yeah. Back in the days of 2012 when schools used Macs, some of the kids caught on to the fact that SSH and Terminal existed because I was using them. Now NOBODY is safe.
:-D
Where did this 10,000,000:1 number come from? Why 10^7:1, why not 10^100:1? I can't find evidence that men are millions of times more likely to lie in harassment cases.
Thanks for your comment, and fsociety's as well. More substantive and well thought-out than my original comment.

I admit I'm annoyed by a lot of fashion. Obviously I wear clothes -- not only are they practical, I wouldn't function well in society without them. But I'm annoyed by the way some people seem to go so far out of their way to brand themselves part of some particular subculture. This takes many forms. I'm annoyed by die-hard Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, meat-eaters, vegetarians (the die-hard ones who use it as yet another tribe to be a member of.. not anyone who eats meat or doesn't), punk rockers (it's my favorite kind of music, but the attire at a punk show is much less individualistic than that of the general public), bumper stickers, etc. And when this homogenization is sold as being rebellious or individualistic, it annoys me even more.

I could go on at length about why I have a problem with homogeneity and why it's a little more than simple annoyance, but I suppose I've lost my chance. I could go on at length about how important I think it is for every person to express hisself/herself however he/she chooses, even if it happens to annoy me, but this is also not too relevant. Most people probably wouldn't agree with me, but that's hopefully okay in the marketplace of ideas.

My original point, which was understood by basically no one (this is my fault, of course), was that I feel this technology would lead to more of homogeneity, which I would consider a bad thing. I said it poorly, and then acted poorly afterward as well.
