It's not a presumption of guilt, but for social censure, the bar should be far, far, far lower then it is in a court of law.

If anyone's been following, for instance, the Jian Ghomeshi trial, any reasonable person should conclude that he is quite probably a rapist, and is most definitely a predator. (As he himself admitted in the Kathryn Borel trial). However, the jury failed to conclude that he is a rapist beyond reasonable doubt.

Sending someone to jail when their odds of being guilty are say 50%, or even 75% is unconscionable (Although if you don't have a good lawyer, that most can most certainly happen). On the other hand, say, not banning that same person from your conference is grossly negligent.

Additionally, in many environments, the consequences for reporting that you were a victim of sexual harassment are far more serious then for being an actual perpetrator of sexual harassment. By default, we bias ourselves to favour attackers.
It did start in the mid-90s with people buying and renovating townhomes on Milton and Liberty Hill. I'm sure the riots slowed it down, but the article does inaccurately assert the speed of the change as well as where it came from. A lot of the residential turn-around wasn't corporate sponsored.
I know regarding HIPAA, Aurora isn't supported but mySQL is. Maybe there's a reason why it's not HIPAA compliant that made it unusable for Netflix? And cost?
The author uses first-hand experience as a source:

And criticising something important as "boring" is very dismissive.
Criminal law uses the "beyond all reasonable doubt" burden of proof.

Civil law uses the "balance of probabilities" burden of proof.

A project kicking out a member doesn't have to meet any burden of proof, they just have to show that they're not being discriminatory.
Those two qualifiers don't change anything, and since I never specified anything relating to either...
I've always given notice, but over time its been much more acceptable for employers to lay people off without notice/let people go without notice/walk people who give notice - in that environment, I feel no loyalty, nor obligation to give notice myself. It's also perfectly acceptable to quit without notice in the first two weeks of work. Quitting because of severe malfeasance on the part of the employer is also somewhat obviously OK.
If L.A. is worried about housing affordability, the real solution is to build more housing.

That's a nifty opinion to have, I guess.

Are you saying that violations of the Ellis Act aren't really a problem -- and so cities shouldn't pursue Ellis Act enforcement cases, then?
> I always called those top programmers rockstars

That was a well known usage for the term. This blog post is trying to redefine "rockstar" but you/we don't have to go along with the language policing.
Whoa, nearly 90 million followers. That's nuts. Pretty impressive.
> You'll rarely see something enormously simple and stupid happen.

Because our society trains all people in this area very deeply. If the society would mainly train people really deeply into mathematics and computer science instead, I believe the situation would be exactly opposite.
Rock stars are good at what they do and most of the time earn that label. Don't form a gang and hurt productivity of your team/company. If someone is working hard to earn a rockstar label don't penalize them.

You will probably need rock stars and plumbers getting along well. If someone is a bad employee rockstar or otherwise that needs to be dealt properly.
> The top of the SUV analogy is nice, but realistically most burgers are not terribly subtle flavor experiences coming from the brilliance of the meat substrate.

Are we talking about fast food burgers? Then yes, flavor country lives in the lab, not the burger. But this article seemed to be strongly hinting at a meat substitute, not just a burger substitute for fast food chains (which I agree with you, would be wonderful). If the flavor experience isn't coming from the meat, than why is it so hard to find a widely excepted meat substitute?

That's why it seems strange the author loaded up their burger with exquisite toppings to taste the meat.
Every major tech company has deletion SLAs and treat them seriously.

Curiously, I just found this today:

It seems to be a full featured package manager to use with C and C++.
To add to this, APIs like Twitter's streaming API, have been sending a JSON blob per line for forever. No need to break up the line any further IMHO.

If you see something happen yourself, then you should call it out. You just saw them do something so you know they are guilty (or maybe they just did something to you!), so it is your responsibility to call them out immediately. Don't let it slide or wait for later or wait for the police. Right then, right there, do something.

If people do this as often as they see things happen, no matter how big or how small, then the problem people would soon become obvious to everyone. Each individual can decide for themselves who to believe, based on the full availability of the evidence, that is now right in the open for everyone to see.
So, perhaps that would explain the extreme jump from jerk to sexual deviant and the clear tone being taken in the opening.

However great first hand experience is for ted talks, it is generally relegated to very low on the quantifiable scale for corporations and the business community in general.

Perhaps they should start with no assumptions, thoroughly investigate the issue, and let the evidence speak for itself.

Why does this 'rule' applying to organizations make it any different? It is always morally shady (at least, unfair) to assume by default that someone is guilty without any sort of process.
Oh, my ignorance and the questions I now have -- I wish there were some up votes on this, because I'd love the knowledgeable people of HN to weigh in.

Does this mean the "cat's out of the bag" forever more? If they encrypt the final release, does that provide any benefit, anymore, or was obfuscation the only benefit of encryption? Did the prior encrypted kernel simply make exploits more difficult to find? Was there any other benefit to encrypting? I assume jailbreaks are more likely (to be frequent) now? Does this mean the federal government is less likely to need Apple's help to break into phones or install their own software? Is Apple now any more worse off than, say, Android, where the kernel has been open all along?

How conceivable is it this was a terrible blunder? Wouldn't there have been safeguards in place to prevent this in their build system, like an encryption step? Or, like whatever stub does the on device decryption failing, and preventing install? Wouldn't they have had to intentionally work around that? And if it was a colossal mistake, will it likely be beneficial in the long run, anyway? (More eyes, more reports, more fixes?)
Somewhere in between.

For example:

We recognize that false reports are very unlikely, but we also recognize there is currently an enormous social bonus awarded to victims of harassment, particularly female victims. Let's examine all the facts, and even if we can't gather enough evidence to take any action, we'll keep a record of this report for any future incidents.
Wow, that's hugely insensitive. Why not try it from another angle and save on typing: "Don't abuse people. Problem solved!"
It's useful for situations where CSV output is a requirement. Actually, this seems like a great candidate for a CSV standard since JSON is so widely implemented.
I'm talking about the people with high IQ. Most of them are guilty of the same "from A straight to Z" mistake, unfortunately.

How Do We Achieve an Open, Secure, Trustworthy, and Inclusive Internet?
Are you sure that being available for law enforcement isn't just a side-effect of being available for "undelete" or a general "undo" mechanism, for when the user inevitably fat-fingers something?
Yes. That's what I'm getting at. In fact animal size and storm size are probably predicted by a power law curve to the surface area of the environment
Or if you don't use them to commit crimes.
Even more than "a couple of years". About 15 years ago I worked at a day trading firm and we were writing models that used machine learning. At the time we thought of it more as "computational statistics", but its basically what is called ML now and taught in ML courses (although we didn't use Neural Nets).

BTW, even in 2001 we were far from the first to do this.
I'd say my biggest complaint about the term "rock star" is that its nonstandard. This article uses a definition, which describes a set of people I know in tech communities. Your comment is probably referring to something else.

Regardless, the article is spot on in describing what to do to produce healthy environments, whereas most uses of the term rock star that I've found come from unhealthy ones.

The wealthiest leave early thinking they might be getting the best and the first.

Poorer people leaving later get better and faster transit.

The only advantage of leaving early is the guarantee of getting a transit, instead of waiting for a better one to arrive later and find you got nothing at all.
Never don't be sensitive!
One problem with rockstarism is that it can create safe havens for abusers. But there are all sorts of other concerns. I'm surprised to see people defending it here; HN has always struck me as a community that is pretty cynical about rock stars.
Well I agree with that statement as well. However, it never hurts to take preventative measures in one's own life, instead of letting yourself get screwed over and then wondering why it happened and who to blame.
Given the total lack of loyalty given to employees by employers, combined with an unwillingness to give references (limiting the impact on professional reputation), why would anyone be surprised by this?
Algorithms/data structures classes are a good start.

I hear that the Coursera algorithms classes by Prof Sedgwick (Princeton) and Prof Roughgarden (Stanford) are very good. I think the Princeton ones might not be available after the Coursera switchover so would recommend downloading the course content if you can. There were some threads on HN in the last week about it.

Also MIT OpenCourseware has Intro to Algorithms which I hear is good too.
No, they are getting paid by someone who is creating the problem.
I think it makes sense if you interpret it as having rules against seeing someone if you're in a position of power over them. If you happen to be in same organisation but have no power over them, there isn't a conflict.

Sounds like an interesting idea. I would be even more excited to see someone leverage Gradle for this. Assuming you publish your custom jar artifacts from your build server, your "deployment artifact" could be a single Gradle file that acts a your JAR dependency definition and execution wrapper. For deployment, sync the Gradle file and execute the wrapper to launch the service with Gradle handling all dependency updates and caching.
This post is using "rock star" in a far more conventional sense than programmers do. To these authors, a "rock star" personality is someone who receives frequent media attention, who is given numerous slots to speak at conferences, and who cultivates an active fandom. It happens that most of these people don't do much real work, but "not doing real work" probably isn't as central to the definition as those other things are.
You're the lawyer, but how does Gore v. BMW of North America, Inc. fit into that? Even after the decision by the supreme courts, the plaintiff got $4k in actual damages and $50k in punitive damages, even after the SCOTUS found no evidence of bad faith. What makes this case different?

In fact, what's the point of punitive damages in general if not to punish the defendants in civil suits?
What social bonus is awarded to victims enough to justify speaking out? I'd say any negatives greatly outweigh the attention they might receive. Countless victims never come forward for good reason.

If any corporation used your suggestion as an official statement including the "but we also" segment, they'd be thrashed mercilessly in the media, and for good reason.

Why not just start with: "All complaints will be investigated, and regardless of outcome, records will be kept for future reference."
"In the process, it has earned the ire of longtime residents and homeless advocates, who say their desires, suggestions and dreams for the neighborhood—until recently 80 percent African-American—are seldom consulted and rarely implemented."

Yup. "Urban renewal means Negro removal", as James Baldwin once said.

Silicon Valley did this in Whiskey Gulch, the small piece of East Palo Alto that's west of 101. East Palo Alto was Silicon Valley's one black city. In the 1980s, Whiskey Gulch was mostly liquor stores and bars, hence the name. When I lived a few blocks away in Menlo Park, I'd hear automatic weapons fire from there most weekends. (This was the era of the MAC-11 machine pistol, "the gun that made the 80's roar".) It's the only place I've ever seen a fully armored fried chicken outlet; you got your chicken through a turntable in the armor glass.

That problem was solved in 1997 by leveling the entire area and building a Four Seasons hotel and an office building full of lawyers.[1] Amazon AWS recently moved in there. No more black people, and no more gunfire.

I remember him from the late 1990s, I think. One of the various usenet weirdos I have somewhat fond memories of reading at the time. "Wow, who the hell were those freaks", I'd think, as I left a computer room at university, blinking at the sunlight (since the room I'd usually go to, on account of its good-sized set of underused HP9000s, had slightly dim lighting and zero windows), having just spent half a day of one of what would have been potentially the better years of my life reading what these people had to say. How could they find the time, I'd wonder. Didn't they have anything better to do? ;)

Still fascinating though. Usenet was like a crash course in seeing how people can be dicks. Still can't decide whether I regret it or not.
Also, instantiating the dict on each call to the `parse` staticmethod is not very efficient. Why not create the dict as a static/class variable and place the method in a classmethod instead?

I was under the impression the accepted way to fail-over with mysql and DRBD was to fail out the old server, and then start repairing tables, because you couldn't be sure they were in a valid state. That's about a decade old info though.

I always just set up master/master replication with mysql. You can get free distributed reads that way if you architect your application right.
1. Create an account 2. send the login info to all your friends 3. Upload whatever files you want to share. Now you all have access to download or upload. Its semi private because the files never leave the account.

Similar to when people use an email account and only ever save drafts. Two people have the login info, connect to the account and write draft emails but never send them. I think I saw that in a tv show, not sure if it's a real thing.

> the accused should have a presumption of guilt

That may be how social media work, that's absolutely not how justice should work. Anybody can be accused of sexual misconduct on social media. It's not justice when one can't defend himself.
Slavery has been illegal in the US for about a century and a half. The answer is, of course, "yes." If an employer doesn't like that, then they should make sure their people are motivated to stay. Warning: this may involve paying them more.

Certainly you shouldn't unless you have a really good reason. If you just can't agree about the new product name, you should definitely give notice. If they handed you a gun and ordered you to kill a customer, quit on the spot.

A lot of employees are loyal to companies, not so much the other way around. They're both quite similar: when a loyal employee thinks about quitting, they worry about the impact it'll have on the company. When the company sees someone quit (or fires them), they too worry about the impact it'll have on the company.

But JSON won't match the quoting rules of any existing CSV parser, so it won't actually work in a situation where CSV is a requirement.

As far as I can tell from reading the abstract, this process was described in Hansen's book Storms of My Grandchildren.

Sometimes, he wrote, we do get temperature increases in the geological record right before we see the CO2 go up. Historically, that's happened on a regular basis due to orbital variations. The fact that CO2 goes up afterwards is not reassuring, it's a positive feedback that drives the temperature even further.

That's why climate change is so worrisome; it's not just the direct heating effect of our emissions we have to worry about, but the additional heating from the extra CO2 released by the planet.
Rock star abusers are a subset of abusers, so your proposed change doesn't work.

Try to give the piece the most charitable possible interpretation. Leigh Honeywell knows more about Daniel J. Bernstein and Theo de Raadt than most people on HN. There's an interpretation of this post that suggests she's claiming that DJB and Theo are abusers, but common sense --- we don't even need charity! --- tells us that's probably not what she's saying.
What a strange coincidence, this seems related to two new hobbies of mine:

Excellent answer. Feature propagation & saturation is also a reason to offer/develop a version that doesn't require an OBD port.

Your customer base consists almost exclusively of those who are both willing to spend $499 on an accessory and who don't already have a reverse cam. Many potential customers won't have an OBD port in their car because OBD-I wasn't around until the '90s. Muscle car enthusiasts and parents (happy to spend $499 to prevent an accident) passing down an older car come to mind.

It would be great to see a second generation version that works without OBD.
They could set a pretty small window prior to auto-delete in those cases.
When you say usually you probably mean "currently, usually" or "in the last x years usually".

Netflix has super smart people. They arent just picking random tools off the shelf and implementing things without constraints for the sake of it.
This is one of those 'it depends' questions (like most important ones are!).

I've quit on the spot once and I think it was ok. I was consulting (paid hourly), had multiple disagreements with my 'boss' (CEO) about major work behaviors (wanted to literally sit behind me while working and watch, critiqued my work despite not being technical and tried to control everything). No loss, had plenty of work elsewhere, wasn't going to use him as a reference.

Other times I've quit from places I've worked at for > 6 months I gave at least 2 weeks notice.

So, use your judgment :)

The key here is they feel that Tesla customers will be interested in solar, and that Solarcity customers are interested in Tesla. Offering new products to the same customers works great - the core of every business is acquiring customers, and selling more (and related) products to the same customers conserves that core effort.

The disaster is when a company takes on a new product for /new customers/. That is when a company's efforts are diluted.
