Anecdotally, I found that within my niche, Facebook was much more effective than Twitter. A subculture was associated with my niche and Twitter was home of the impossible-to-please elitists, who really just wanted to live in their own vacuum chamber and lashed out at practically anyone who was trying to hold a real discussion with them. Facebook had a much better response.

There's just something about Twitter that makes it even more hostile than your typical online forum. Maybe it's because it's so easy to isolate a tweet external to its context and get people worked into a lather over it, maybe it's that people are forced to truncate their thoughts such that they can't possibly add all the expected niceties and disclaimers and thus inevitably offend someone whenever they make any substantive statement, or maybe it's something else.

Whatever it is, Twitter is usually not a nice place. If I were primarily interested in product updates, I would probably follow the company on Facebook (the layman's feed reader).
The article says that Milo didn't deserve what he got, and I agree. You may not agree with his politics but people of all stripes have done worse.

I guess we'll end up with a conservative twitter clone, and a liberal twitter, and no-one will ever face the "danger" of seeing viewpoints they disagree with.

I did speak rather harshly in my prior comment, and for that I apologize. Worse, I did a very poor job of expressing the concern that motivated me to respond. But I think it's still fair to ask whether your initial comment has value.

I understand that, as a user of 1Password's browser extension(s), you may well feel some concern that a similar vulnerability exists, and I don't think it's unreasonable to want reassurance on that score.

But I think your phrasing and framing of the question feels a lot more like a "gotcha" than anything else, and it's that feeling which motivated my prior comment - I'm not an AgileBits dev myself, but if I were, I'd feel strongly inclined to shy away from that question rather than trying to frame an answer that doesn't leave me open to a potentially hostile followup.

You'd think what is very clearly a paid advertisement for SFCU and SoFi would leave out the scariest details.
I've found the opposite to be true. There's lots of mid-level developers around who are capable of handling most common stacks. Even mid-level Ops people are few and far between. Truly senior Ops people are a rarity and in very high demand, even if salaries aren't matched to that demand. The difference in responsibility in those roles that you are entrusting an employee with makes the comparison a bit difficult, but generally speaking far more is expected of Ops hires than Developer hires at most companies. When you hold the keys to the kingdom you have an extraordinary ability to cause damage to the company purely through innocent mistakes, much less malicious behavior.

Why did you jump to ML as the solution to a vague product description (and then proceed to outline how it'd be difficult to do with ML)?

Twitter 2.0 could do something as simple as forego the linear timeline (and the restrictions that that imposes re: filtering) and still achieve all the goals the author outlined.
This sort of thing really merits a judicial investigation. It's not appropriate to place these issues in the eyes of the public until then, and I've never appreciated these sorts of articles in my feed.

Some will be swayed by the fact that the internal investigation turned up some legitimate claims, but if the judicial system disagrees then this guy's life is already ruined, and I don't think that's appropriate. The whole situation reflects poorly on everyone involved.
In any case, surely no game developer is going to make DX12 a hard requirement to run their PC games any time soon.

Even today, Steam's hardware and software survey puts DX12-capable hardware at around 70% of their users but nearly half of those aren't running on Win10. That's after a year of Microsoft literally giving it away and it being the default OS you get preinstalled on most new PCs in stores. The pattern of adoption hasn't been entirely surprising either: a fairly rapid shift over the first six months or so after 10 came out, but then a much slower shift since then.

It's going to be a long time before anyone running a modern GPU on Windows 7 can't run the latest PC games with decent results.

I don't see the surprise there. I'd wager most senior Google employees have around 50% comp in stock.
I don't think of the bounty as a reward for choosing not to break the law. Staying out of jail is the reward for not breaking the law; the $1000 is just a token of appreciation for someone that could have otherwise not bothered to report the bug.
I think people have a weird distorted view of what a "tech worker" is then. Like watching medical dramas and thinking that's what being a doctor is like.

I'm a tech worker, and I can assure you I'm not an "American elite". I don't get white glove treatment at the bank, have a butler, chauffeur, or financial advisor. I schlep it 2 hours to work each morning and 2 hours back, and if I lose my job, I'm N paychecks away from ruin like everyone else. My "N" may be 5 where others may be 2, but most of us are in the same boat. Does that really sound elite to you?
It sounds to me like your recruits have a background in sales. (All of mine do.)

Try telling them that you respect their ability to trick people (don't phrase it like that).

Pardon me, I haven't checked this link, but based on the title, I think it might contain content that would help you get in the right mindset. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/32vsua/whats_you...

Remember, sales people think that they have a special skill. They think that customers (victims? marks?) are not self aware. So if you demonstrate that you are aware (like a sheep making eye contact with a wolf), they might have a conversation with you.

Plan B: don't try to talk to recruiters.

According to the Model 3 announcement, the base model will have at least 215 miles of range. The Model S was never announced with any specific range for the base model afaik, it was always marketed that the 40kwh model would have low range. It didn't sell very well, which is why they ended up being software restricted 60kwh models for initial reservations and never sold it after that.

"It's not helped by organizations such as the BBC who report on what happens on Twitter as if it is actually news."

Ah. That's a trick used by 'credible news outlets' to promote an ideology when they're supposed to remain 'neutral'.

When a journo wants to say something ideological, but is limited in editorial scope by supposed 'neutrality', all he needs to do is find a Tweet somewhere that says what he wants, and can then publish it and say 'people are saying XYZ' - as though it represents a 'popular view' - even though it does not.

I am not ideological or political, but it's far more common among left-ish leaning editorialists. About 85% of people working at the BBC, CBC, CNN are left of centre, they are professionals and are pretty good at trying to remain neutral, but the biases come out one way or another. The editorial chiefs don't care because they're cut from the same cloth - so as long as the veneer of professionalism is there (and they're not offending advertisers) it flies.

80% of news - even at the 'reputable sites' is total fluff. They need to keep writing about something. So they invent the news.

In another sense this is not a new phenom: in the old days everyone read/watched local news. They report on the most inane thing: cats stuck in trees. But people loved it because it was super local and relevant to them, i.e. 'gossipy'. Twitter is the 'gossip' for the new urban types that don't have strong local social networks to gossip within.

At my grandmothers house, people would stop in, chat for 20 mins with Gran, and after they were gone I had no idea why they stopped by! It was just gossip. That's the 'old timey' Twitter!
If its neither cyclical nor anthropogenic then what can we do about it other than adapt to higher temperatures? If it's not human caused than there is nothing we can do short of geoengineering on a mind boggling scale which makes no sense. If centuries of industrialization haven't caused climate change then what's the chance that we can reverse a natural process on a planetary scale?
Ok, we changed the title above to say "some tech workers", which seems accurate enough.
Yesterday, I saw this chart [1] from Twitter's Q2 2016 earnings report, and noticed that US users are only 21% of Twitter's 313 million monthly active users. Presumably, other anglocentric (ie. posting in English about topics relevant to English speakers) users push this figure much higher than 21%, but:

Does the kind of posting culture the author writes extend to the international, non-anglocentric portion of the audience? I'm not entirely convinced it does.

For example Twitter is very popular in Turkey, where it's part of social culture [2][3], and while a great deal of 'western' content is consumed, most of the user-generated discourse is either casual or latently political. Trying to find English-speaking media covering abuse on Turkish Twitter only lead me to this article [4] about a political clique harassing users about political stances, and that was a sponsored effort, not 'organic' acts by self-organizing users.

Twitter is also fairly popular in Japan [5], where pop culture phenomena drive much of the engagement.

While I agree with nearly all of the points presented in this analysis, I'm just not sure it represents most of Twitter's non-US userbase, which is significantly larger in aggregate than its US users.

Perhaps this helps:

1. Landing page with your names, contact info, and experience/skillset. Answering the usual questions like what kind of work, etc...

2. Email everyone you have worked with or talked to, say "hey hope you don't mind this email, we're available for consulting, here is some more info, do you know anyone that might be interested? If so would you mind sending an intro." Also call some people if you know them well, calling will likely work better than emailing. Trick is: don't ask THEM to hire you, ask them who they know that might want to hire you.

That should get the ball rolling.
Exactly, people in the tech world just have to get rid of their own unrealistic expectations of infinite growth - which doesn't exist anywhere else either. Twitter may be useful for some people. For others like me, it's as pointless as Facebook.

I think the real promise of Twitter is that it offers a platform to engage directly with movers and shakers. The short form makes it possible to exchange ideas with high-profile people that otherwise would never be able or willing to read all the long-form mail they get. @pmarca has addressed a tweet I made before, totally unsolicited. That's the only element that I feel it really brings to the table; it's digestable for busy people, and busy people actually sometimes engage on it (though often to their detriment).
IMHO you can skip most of this except #2. Key-only login is very important, blocking access with fail2ban not so much. But you definitely need to send your logs to another box so you got a copy (that is unreachable for the attacker) of the logs that this guy definitely removed from the hacked system.

Congrats - you've just disproven the just world hypothesis as a hard and fast, 100% true for every person rule. That straw man is now just a pile of hay!

The problem with the just world hypothesis is that it goes backwards from the successful outcome, then asserts that this outcome is proof that the world is fair.

Ok, so you have no problem with a statistical just world hypothesis like what Dalio and I suggested? Namely, good behavior causes good outcomes, but only probabilistically?

Someone born into a poor area, with bad schools, poor economic opportunities, and crime problems is simply not playing with the same deck of cards.

It's far from clear that this is true. Consider a statistically typical American born into such circumstances. Now consider a Gujurati, born into far worse circumstances who then shifts into American "bad circumstances" at age 12.

Do you think the Gujurati will have the same bad outcomes as the American? If not, then it's not really a defensible claim that circumstances (at least as far as variation within the US goes) matter a lot.

(We know from historical experiment that the answer is no, the Gujurati will perform quite well.)
While I would have no problem paying $10 for a year of Twitter, I think it would kill it.

For a brief moment, I thought Google had a chance with Google+. The discussion model is better, the moderation tools are better, but it just doesn't have the users. I wonder if they had launched with a read/write API and good developer libraries, would Google+ have achieved critical mass? I'd still love to see Google try this since they really have nothing to lose at this point.

>“Tell all the truth but tell it slant,” the American poet Emily Dickinson instructed herself

Do you look at the universe in Engineering / CompSci terms and frameworks? That's not a normal method of interpreting reality, but due to our context we extend it via our jargon and experience. Can you consider future life choices framed by a meat-algo tempered by back-propagation? What does that mean (to you?).

Half of the issue with the sciences/engineering is that a sense of absolute correctness and process is drilled into the student over a few years. The code you write may be pretty, understandable and modular but look at this benchmark. Scrap it, you're wrong according to this measure (excluding any others such as future maintenance, interop requirements, etc). There is freedom to solve a problem in a unique way, but the path there is fairly railroaded, although this is where programming gets creative. Save for end results, creative/flexible/nonlogical/associative thought has little place here.

I worked on a project a few weeks ago called BlackBox that explores this Engineering/Art space (an arbitrary divide or synthesis, lines are handy alright?). I'm a fine arts painter and while the meat has been loosening up slowly, the conceptual "baggage" of my Engineering context follows me. Analysis, Analysis, Preplan, Observe, Direct relation, Justification, Analysis, Blank Canvas, Paralysis. When I'm with fellow Artists what amazes them is my ability to systematically break a problem into smaller manageable bits, yet still keeping them non-modular. This baggage cannot simply be shed, it's part of the identity and story of SuperPaintMan/BlackBox so I use it as an arbitrary line in the sand. Fine Art / Engineering (What that means is a exploratory process).

Associative thinking is a strange creature, trusting the non-justifiable conclusions and straws we grasp allows our works to breathe in new and innovative ways. My line for having gone to far is opening a bakery whose principal ingredient is engine oil. [ https://xkcd.com/452/ ]

> For instance, like for like (new construction in the most desirable neighborhoods), Boston housing is just as expensive as SF

No it's not. It's not even close. The median home in Boston is less than $500k. That's a gut/teardown in SF, where the median is $1.1MM.

If you pick brand new construction in the most desirable neighborhoods in Boston, I'm sure you could easily spend north of a million. If you pick comparable new construction in the most desirable neighborhoods in SF, I imagine you're looking at multiple millions.

That must be a ton of fun. How do they incentivize you and your operation to be conservative? Because they presumably only make money if you hit the number, which was the big problem with home appraisers in the housing bubble.

They only way I can think of to cause correct behavior would be to ensure that your operation maintains an interest in the loan after the deal is done.
We (with my dev hat on) don't bother complaining about the App Store. Apple's deal is what it is.

I just read the whitepaper (I am a long time Dashlane user) and they have a section on security of their javascript/browser extensions. They say that their extensions all use c++ so execute entirely outside of the javascript context. This would not have prevented the Lastpass exploit since all that was required as a malformed URL, but it is nice to see that Dashlane is thinking about this stuff. Also, had Lastpass not used js this exploit would've been harder to find (though not impossible).
As opposed to the Windows approach (unless you enjoy being stuck with preloaded malware, such as Superfish, McAfee, or Mac OS X):

* WTF, why isn't my NIC registering? I thought we had a standard for this stuff by now.

* Download NIC drivers from secondary computer

* Put NIC drivers on a USB stick

* Install NIC drivers

* Nothing happened, turns out you found the drivers for the wrong revision of the chipset, go back to square one

* Download Nvidia drivers

* Try to install, nope, you need to find the Intel drivers first

* Download and install Intel drivers

* Install the Nvidia drivers again

* It's 2AM already, go to sleep

* You forgot to turn off Windows Update, and now you're stuck with Windows 10

* Reformat again, and start over

It's not practical or feasible to block all of them. So people should delete their accounts because they get brigaded?
