I'm good with olimpic gold medalists in rowing and i think there isn't much politics there. Especially between teams.

The truth is that those kind of companies have very little money and so they want to hire people that can be productive from day one. Of course this is utopia but that will not stop them.
I don't think Linux consistently going with the easy solution when it comes to potential power saving measures, is really what people want.
But it seems to me like 'ramblenode is arguing the exact opposite: that the law ignores the HTTP request and response on the wire to look at the actual interaction between Power and Facebook and the result of the packets Power sent.
Couldn't agree more. When I was implementing adaptive routing on NuevoCloud that was one of the problems I worked on. Ended up de-multiplexing http2, once the requests hit the edge node.

So there's still one connection between the edge and the browser (can't do anything about that), but once it gets to the edge node, each request is sent over a prenegotiated connection to an edge node near the server.. then it drops down to a more reasonable number when sending the requests to the customer's server. So if a packet is dropped, it only affects that one file/connection.

Don't think any other CDNs are doing this yet.. but I think it'll become more common as they invest more resources into their http2 implementations.

There's http1's head of line blocking.. and tcp's head of line blocking. http2 fixed the former.. the latter applies to any tcp connection--including http 1.x, http2, etc (anything that uses tcp).

In other words.. he's saying, because HTTP 2 is multiplexed, tcp's head of line blocking becomes a larger problem. Which is true.
Yes. Though they are different associations. They are subject to federal and state laws which don't affect personal transactions.

For example, they are available to the general public so are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of sex, race, and several other protected classes. California and other states place even more restrictions on their ability to discriminate.

On the other hand, you are free to discriminate as you wish. (Though not without risk of criticism; such is free speech.)

There's another difference in your example. Google provides services to the general public. You use their services. However, I do not provide a drinking-coffee service. I don't even like the taste of coffee. There is no reason I need to accept your offer to give me a cup of coffee any more than I need to accept a flyer from someone in the street. But if I were a company which provided coffee consumption services, then I would have less ability to turn you down than I do as a private person.

My wider contention is that we have plenty of historical examples of public/private space which help us understand what's going on. For example, can a company town prevent someone from coming to town to distribute religious materials? Decided in Marsh v. Alabama. Are AOL email addresses "public", so AOL cannot block spammers? Decided in Cyber Promotions v. America Online.

'Nothing is a more powerful inducement than financial incentives'

Actually there's a lot of research that contradicts this. Essentially as long as people have enough money that they don't worry about money ie a comfortable middle class lifestyle for country/area, and they don't think they earn significantly less that their peers, money is very inefficient and occasionally negative incentive for tasks that require a decent level cognitive ability.
Do you mean `:set paste` every time you want to copy something from clipboard?
Being a "cultural fit" just means that the person will fit in well with the process and people at a company. Whether the "culture" in question is a specific type of culture is irrelevant. If you approach it from that perspective, you're probably taking the term at face value and missing the point.

The idea being expressed here is that if you bring in a new employee, even one that has no previous experience with the technologies being used, they will perform best if they are naturally in tune with the company's ideals and methodology, and can quickly develop camaraderie with the existing crew.

On the other hand, if you hire someone that knows all the necessary tech, but is constantly at odds with how things are done, alienates their coworkers, or manages to clog up the process in other ways--in those scenarios, everyone loses.

It has nothing to do with a cultural hive mind; it's just a matter of keeping a team synchronized and efficient.

> The fact they are actively trying to hide it could also be because they are trying not to hurt them.

Eh, kind of doubt it. Most people would rather have their partner break up than cheat on them. It's considerably less hurtful to just leave someone than to carry on a hidden affair.

> The cynic in me also just doesn't think it's sane to expect that an oath to love forever could be relied upon anyway, and the statistics do bear this out.

I guess the optimist in me believes that if a partner is no longer in love and no longer interested in trying, they should break up rather than cheat. Similarly, I believe a business partner who no longer wants to be involved in the business should sell off their shares rather than purposely tanking the business.
I work for a software company very much like Valve in structure, who has been operating this way since the 70s.

Support still gets done, because when you hire you specifically hire people who love doing support. Those people exist, and they get tremendously emotionally involved in the quality of their work, just like anyone else.

In every department there are people who struggle with the flat hierarchy and free range to work on what you like, who have a strong emotional need to know who is in charge, and to be told what needs doing. Those people struggle, but they are by no means relegated to any one department -- plenty of them are engineers.

> Both of these served to discover the real market value of things

- Airbnb served to discover that someone always pays the cost of negative externalities.

- Uber served to discover the above, plus that in an environment with low interest rates and significant underemployment, a company can run losses indefinitely while paying peanuts. Calculate the net wage next time you take an Uber, accounting for their cut, depreciation, and a (generous) 75% utilization. That's only feasible at a loss while using funny money to pay desperate people. The Uber app is excellent, credit them for that. They were in the right place and time and executed very well on mobile+geolocation. But they've discovered nothing about market value.

(not interested in the "blah, blah, AI, logistics company" magical thinking. People who say that have short positions in Uber. Uber is Twitter: they could have been a profitable mid-size company making an excellent living selling all sorts of mobile service provisioning; in a capital crunch they cannot afford to pay drivers a market-clearing wage and pay back their over-inflated expectations)

The problem I have with the functional paradigm is that it's couched in the idea that all problems can be reduced to same kind of algorithms. It's better to accept that all problems can be reduced to some king of algorithm whether or not it follows neatly along with the functional paradigm. That's why OOD sometimes works better for some problems over others and vice versa. Plus, I think not all functional programming languages are equal in this regard. I have a bias toward Ocaml since it's fairly easy to get into it without having to abandon previous knowledge. You can learn Ocaml even if most of your professional life you've written code in C. Whereas Haskell you have to unlearn lots of old idioms which worked well in C to get a basic comprehension of Haskell. So, just picking up Haskell because you think a specific problem is easier within the functional paradigm is a bad idea IMO. Unless you have plenty of time to learn then go for broke.

Some games may never (for human-scale values of "never") be sold again, or only with unacceptable alterations, usually for licensing reasons. Goldeneye's[1] a big example of the former (Bond licensing), Crazy Taxi of the latter (music licensing—IIRC the only console release of it with the original music is on the Dreamcast, and it's unlikely that'll ever happen again).

Similar things happen with older TV, too, especially with music licensing. Failure to license for online/dvd distribution was common until pretty recently—I think Skins (UK) has that problem, for example. Only way to watch it as it originally aired is piracy.

[1] There was a "remake" released but it was an entirely different game. Basically a bad Call of Duty clone. Nothing at all like the original, and nothing like the excellent HD re-release of its successor Perfect Dark on the Xbox360.

"If you think my mentality is Dilbertesque, go ask your supervisor what kind of decisions they wouldn't let you make."

Maybe this is a little too personal for me.

Never been a manager, don't really want to be one. But I have been a developer for a long time, so I often have as much or more experience than my supervisor at this stage of my career.

The anecdotes that stick in my memory, is when I knew the right decision, explained the rationale for the right decision...and my boss made the wrong decision, without being able to explain why his decision was better. I distinctly remember one incident where, several months after going with my boss's decision, which turned into a bug generating maintenance nightmare, my boss ruefully smiling at me and saying "Yea, I think we should have done (jimbokun's original idea)."

Yea, thanks, now we're wasting who knows how many hours on the fallout of the original decision.

I appreciate those who are willing to take on the hard job of management, and OK with them potentially making more than I do. But good managers find and hire people who know how to do their job and let them do it. So if a manager has an inclination to change something, they should first assume they are wrong and their subordinate is right, ask the person doing the work to explain how they made their decision, ask for clarification if the manager still thinks a change should be made, and only then suggest the change if there is something clearly and obviously wrong with the reasoning behind the decision, making sure to explain the reason for the change.

Regarding moving from Dropbox to something encrypted, you might look into SpiderOak - I've not used them, but they've been around for quite a while and "encrypted zero-knowledge" is basically their selling point.

I don't believe they have a free tier, so I suspect they have a sustainable revenue model - basically everyone's on their equivalent of Dropbox Pro, with no free account leeches eating up their marketing budget.

edit: minor grammar
Did ARM ever get a formalized platform? I remember reading that one of the major issues with adoption of ARM was that there wasn't a common platform for the CPU to interface with external devices. It was all custom and proprietary which is fine for embedded systems but not so good for desktops or consumer grade PCs.

Is that no longer the case?
Nobody would survive that with today's technology. This doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I'm not surprised by that. In every company power/influence come from a mixture of politics and formal hierarchy, so it makes sense that if you remove the latter the former would take over. That said, with the right culture office politics might be a more effective meritocracy than a formal hierarchy.

I wonder if they have any internal initiatives to remove cognitive biases that causes many of the negative parts of office politics.
This at least points towards a coherent position. Before assuming that you hold it, let me clarify a little: we both understand that SQL is just an example, right, and virtually all other security vulnerabilities would be lawfully exploitable as well? The difference between SQL injection and memory corruption is simply that of two different programming languages being used to carry the attack.

So the position you hold is that people on the Internet should be allowed to hijack each others computers, lest the law begin determining the legality of contents of files or electricity on wires?

As I said: that's a coherent position. It's not one I hold or would personally find tolerable, and I think the long term public policy consequences would be surprising to people who hold that position out of a rooting interest for underdogs (people are quick to forget that money buys more exploits every year than principle ever has). But I don't know that I could rebut arguments based on it simply based on logic.
This chip was discussed on RealWorldTech a while ago: http://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=151566

Let's say it wasn't well received.
It's not strictly a matter of conservatism, it's a matter of US values being enforced as universal; or IMO in the limit as you approach maximum size for tech companies, the most conservative values of every important market being enforced in all markets. In the US, people are freaked out about fathers kissing their sons, but fine with teenagers having things done to them on video that wouldn't occur to most people to be possible until they see them being done to someone too young to drink legally. There's also been an escalation against depictions of cigarette smoking in the US, but constant depictions of drinking which are frowned upon in large parts of the world that have no issue with smoking.

Every culture has taboos, but because of giant US internet companies mediating the content of people's communications, US taboos are currently more important than everyone else's lack of taboo. Ultimately, I see this leading to everyone's taboos becoming more important than everyone else's lack of taboo; I've heard of some of these platforms enforcing Lese Majeste laws.
Furthermore, the semantics of a language should be tailored for its target. Some execution pattern works well on the JVM, some don't. Same for javascript and other targets.

Unfortunately that page seems to make a lot of big claims (and unnecessarily insult a lot of established work in the field) but seems to include literally no useful information about the book at all: no table of contents, no indication of who the target audience is or what prior experience is assumed, not even a summary of the topics it covers.

3. The image uses the david star.

I grant you that (2) and (3) in isolation might be forgiven and an honest mistake, but in combination, especially in combination with (1) they can't be regarded as anything other than an obvious antisemitic slur.

I feel like the logical outgrowth of an argument like this is that we could compel companies to allow certain types of speech and not others. This seems like a pretty clear violation of both free association and freedom of the press. You would never think to compel a newspaper to publish a certain type of news or a certain columnist, why should Google be compelled to publish anything it doesn't like?
I find the whole "You are a person who spend every waking hour optimizing yourself to become the best YOU you can be"-frame of mind very intimidating. Maybe it's because I'm not american, but even though I like to work with complex issues, I also like a 9-17 job with a decent income, and the ability to go home and relax when I'm not working. And by relax, I don't mean working on side projects, doing volunteer work or earning a second degree in something. But playing board games, working out/running or even just watching mindnumbing TV. I feel like the "100 % dedicated 100 % of the time"-thing has become the only way to really make it in tech-life.
