And, excuse me for saying that, that's why you're not a CEO of such a large company.

Consider these alternate (admittedly extreme) realities:

A. CEO is an asshole, but manages to bring in $1M/employee in revenue for a company with 500 employees.

B. CEO is a nice guy, but doesn't manage to bring in enough revenue and has to fire 250 of 500 employees.

In reality A, those people who don't think they are paid enough for the abuse, will leave, as they should. In reality B, the choice of who leaves and stays is almost random.

What you say is that firing a reality A CEO is "the right move". The problem is you're extremely likely to get either a reality B CEO, or an asshole with reality B revenue. HP's history since Carly Fiorina would give you a good case study.

So, from almost anyone's perspective, armchair generals excepted, it is NOT the right move.
I got a WeWork tour a while back, and it seemed quite interesting, being not only what it says on the tin, a coworking space, but also a nice location to meet interesting people.

I suppose this is as good of a place to ask as any, are there any good coworking spaces in South Bay, preferably close to Cupertino?

Great post. I disagree on using the concise form of the if statement, however.

if [ "$var" = "find" ]; then
echo "found"
fi

Is far more readable than its equivalent

[ "$var" = "find" ] && echo "found"

I understand the upside of readability. What does concision get me?
Ah you're right. I'm on iOS.
OK, I did not know that. Thanks :-)

Why is anyone using Facebook for chat at all? (Real question)
That may have been the plan you were on but there are all the kinds of plans available. A remote hydro electric plant I worked at got some kind of malware and burned through several thousand dollars of bandwidth and the ISP forgave the bill on the condition that they upgrade to a more expensive plan, probably from $700 a mo to $1000
because many of their friends they want to chat with are.
I'm counting credit cards as part of "banking". Financial services would maybe be a better name.

As far as insanity, I mean more little things. I can't speak for most US banks, as I only have accounts at BMO Harris. But for one thing, the statements I get from them are nuts. They list deposits, and withdrawals - the amounts, but not the dates, and not the resulting balance. And then separately they list a record of the balance throughout the month - not the amounts of the changes, but the new balance after each change, along with the date.

So in order to determine wtf actually happened, you have to compare the (potentially long!) list of undated transactions with the changes in balance throughout the month (which you have to calculate yourself) to find out what happened when. I mean... it's seriously like it's intentionally as convoluted as possible.

My statements from BMO Canada on the other hand show a sane account listing with transactions, dates, amounts, and resulting balance.

On the other hand, BMO Harris will mail a physical check (not a cheque! :P ) to anyone in the US for me, for free. Coming from Canadian banking, I was shocked that such a service existed, let alone on regular accounts with no usage fee. It's hilarious that you can do that but you can't send electronic transfers, but it's still extremely convenient, especially when doing business remotely from Canada!
Because a lot of people use it for chat. The network effect is powerful.
I have a FB account but rarely login to it. I've never installed the app on my iPhone because I don't want notifications and generally find FB distasteful.

If there was a higher class crowd on FB I would probably use it more but for me it ended up being a bunch of people from my hometown / high school who are angry, usually at other ethnic groups and don't seem wildly successful in their own right.

If I do want to login, I just wait until I'm at a computer. The standalone Messenger app is horrible for permissions and should be avoided at all costs. If you can muster the strength to delete FB, even better. I'm able to very easily not feel tempted to login to that cesspool so I haven't needed to delete mine.

I find it kinda sad we can rocket around the universe but we can't put out a fire in our backyard. Airports should be built and staffed like fire departments for our wilderness. Wouldn't take a lot of staff except for the pilots of course. I think the money spent, taken from the military budget, would work perfectly.

It's not a problem to the majority use case of using Instagram. Desktop use is declining.
Yeah completely agree. This makes sense for them to lock it down and offer business incentive. Good on them honestly.
Because everyone has it. And it doesn't need a phone number. So it's almost as ubiquitous as SMS, without distributing your phone number. Win-win.
I use the facebook app quite a bit, and its never used more than a few precent of my battery in the battery stats on Android, and usually significantly less than my mail client(K-9 Mail) so I never understood the meme that the facebook app uses a ton of battery. Just having the screen on is going to use more battery than the facebook app.
All publications of a certain size pre-write obits. This isn't unique to the Times.
Most of Retail stopped accepting checks about 15-20 years ago, iirc. It was about the time laser printers and copiers came about that everyone realized how insecure they were. Now, banks are one of the few places that accept that form of currency.

I believe e-bike (along with the quantity) is one of the secrete that contributes to the huge eCommerce success in China.No media mention or notice that yet. The cost of the last mile delivery makes a big difference, the competition is flatten along with the whole China, the market is extremely efficient.
it wasnt said... it was the official reason Google gave for shutting it down.
Huh, I didn't know that BMO Harris would mail checks. It could have been useful to me... is that the 'business bill pay' feature I've never figured out on their website?

I agree that the printed statements are weird. I'm guessing this is an American thing? I don't have experience with any other US banks to compare against.
The saddest thing about Ali's life IMHO is that he lived in a world where the best way he could make his living was hitting and being hit by others.

however in my case verbosity slows me down.
on android at least, you can always globally disable notifications from an app: long press on a notification, tap the little i in a circle that appears, and there should be an "allow notifications" box you can un-check.
I happened to take a vocation in China now. I have a bike with a battery of 2.4 kg weight.So bring it back home to charge everyday is not a problem. Not every bike have small battery though.
So if its main selling point is being ubiquitous, why the fuck wouldn't they force everyone to the same platform?
"It turned out other Android services including Android system and Android OS showed reduced battery consumption when the Facebook app was uninstalled. Those services act as a buffer for many apps to the outside world when running in the background. So while Facebook didn’t look like it was using that much power, it was actually just being displayed elsewhere in Android’s statistics."

Chrome has perfectly acceptable push notification support.

I am an occasional user of Facebook Messenger, and using the mobile website was perfect: I don't care if notifications are delayed or even lost (I'll see the messages eventually anyway). But there's no way I'm going to install a separate app for something I use maybe once a week, tops.

If it stops working from the mobile website, then I just wait until I'm back at my computer to read fb messenges.

Although Canadian banks, at least 2 years ago, were unable to issue a VISA debit card linked to my business account. They wanted me to get credit, and appeared to be totally confused as to what a VISA debit card was. When I asked how I could go about registering, say, domain names, or purchasing stuff overseas, they said "Interac". It's almost adorable.

I'm similarly lazy, but hopefully this paragraph captures some of the ideas:

> Caplan suggested that giving Josh the drug through the compassionate-use protocol might endanger its approval by the FDA. In the worst case, Josh would die after taking brincidofovir, and that outcome would “be held against the drug and the company until they can show the drug did not kill him.” In the meantime, other patients would find their access to the drug severely restricted. What’s more, an online campaign powered by photographs of a sick little boy raised hard questions about fairness. “Those who are not very cute get less attention in their pursuit of unproven drugs,” Caplan wrote. “If Josh had parents who did not understand how to use social media, he would already be out of luck.”

Some people don't want any Facebook software in their phones for legitimate privacy reasons.
Right. They're waving that around like they're saying the stuff is open source, and it's very much not open source. Building a bunch of stuff on top of an open source project and then claiming your source is open because some base amount of the source forced them under its license to be open is a total cop-out. No, Vivaldi is not open source, and no they do not have plans to ever open source Vivaldi.

I deleted my account the first time they changed their ToS, still pre-Facebook, when they added to the ToS that any photos you uploaded to them could be used in any way they wanted (or something like that) unless you deleted from them.

So I went ahead, and deleted my account (that was new, but already had about 100 photos or something).

They later "unchanged" the ToS, but I won't make the same mistake twice ;)

I have stopped using Facebook (Twitter and everything social) half a decade ago. I don't use messaging apps and turn on my phone only when I really need to.

Result: more free time to do interesting and productive things and people aren't bothering me as much. I have taken control of my life and I'm not being pushed around to do things based on notifications or desire for artificial status(likes, retweet, stars). Stop using these services that sell your privacy, control your communication, make hostile changes and in the end do not care about you.

> Terms often lose their meanings as they become religions and more rigid choices and styles. The two in question here are certainly "object-oriented" and "functional programming"!

Absolutely, especially when they're vague. But I still think that the synchronous or temporal-logic based languages (which I love!) are very much distinct from FP (at least in the Haskell "tradition"), although they share with each other -- and not with the classical imperative approach -- the explicitness of state transitions: the synchronous/TL model with its clocks/steps, and the FP model with its (hideous) monads. They also "feel" very different (Esterel/Céu and even TLA+ feel more imperative than functional). It is not surprising that the killer-app for the FP approach is compilers (and other code analysis tools), while the killer-app for synchronous/TL approach is reactive systems, two application classes that are at the opposite, extreme ends of Pnueli's (I think) classification of programs (transformational, interactive and reactive).
Can you cite any examples of where Apple has eschewed standards or interoperability without a good technical reason? I suspect anything you list will be either:

• No interoperable standards were available at the time;

• Distinctly better than / more capable than contemporary interoperable standards;

• Maintaining a legacy decision made for one of the above reasons.
What happened to LoadAverage.org
This is wrong.

Even if the 3-4 stories currently on the site are 100% true (they all read as if they were written by the same person; perhaps the same editorial voice?), they don't appear to constitute rape, or even sexual assault. Boorish, offensive behavior, but not criminal acts.

I've known Jacob for 13 years, and he doesn't strike me as a rapist. A raconteur, sure; a bit of an egoiste, sure. But not someone who would be predisposed to force himself on anyone for sex, and not someone who is possessed by the callousness, rage and desire to subjugate which characterizes rapists.

If anyone genuinely believes she was raped or sexually assaulted by Jacob Appelbaum, she should file criminal charges and consider suing him, as well. But this kind of online vigilantism and anonymous, virtual mob 'justice' is not how civilized people ought to behave.

The whole thing smacks of orchestrated revenge for a perceived slight, real or imagined. And it isn't right way to handle allegations of serious criminality.

My first job out of University was working for a credit card processor and debt collection centre. It was just after Check-21 passed. I learned a lot about ACH, IRDs and credit card ISOs.

After leaving the US, I realized how terribly behind our banking system is compared to every other country in the world. Most of the EU, Australia, NZ all have direct person-to-person transfer via account number. Any bank to any bank, via web or phone app. Germany and other EU nations go further and offer TAN numbers (1-time use numbers, sorta-2-factor, but not really).

The US ACH system is absolutely terrible. The Federal Reserve need a supplemental system with 1-directional person-to-person transfer numbers. Our tax numbers also need to stop being used as a secret. No other country does that.

What you described is a "symptom", not a "definition". However let's say that you're correct and think for a second. Where do you pull out this notion that something has to be a technology to be disruptive? Here's the real definition of disruptive: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disrupt There were many cases in history where people came up with disruptive invention, philosophy, business model, or any idea. Anything is disruptive if it renders the previous approach obsolete. Napster was disruptive, but both illegal and a failure. Based on your definition Napster is not at all disruptive. What else would you call it then? Being disruptive is not just about a small number of successful case studies mentioned in Christensen books.

You do propose HP as a case study, but why is it "extremely likely" to lead to that negative outcome?

Also, isn't it possible for a "nice guy" CEO to also bring in high revenue?

I don't think "nice" necessarily equates with "ineffective" in a CEO (for some definitions of "nice").
