That is a salient point. Learning requires a lot of humility. You need to admit you don't know something, you will probably do poorly when you first start out, and, as you've pointed out, you might need to admit what you already know is wrong.

I realized a while back that I tended to get defensive when someone presented information that I was wrong. Initially I felt that this was because people tend to disagree with other people in a way that can be considered, at best, a little dickish. However, I also felt attacked even when the information was presented in a fairly neutral manner. This was a bit of a shock to me, because I like to think of myself as open-minded.

After some self-reflection, I found the reason I felt attacked was because I felt that any time someone presented me with information that conflicted with my worldview, it attacked my self-identity as a reasonable and observant person. When someone told me something that didn't seem possible based on my worldview, I almost took it as if they were attacking my worldview itself.

This defensive behavior would present itself in how I told my stories to other people as well. So, while I felt attacked when other people presented information that conflicted with my worldview, I'm sure they felt equally attacked when I shared my worldview with them, even if I didn't outright say they were wrong at any point.

It took me a while to figure out how to avoid this behavior, since I was effectively putting up emotional barriers against what felt deep down like an attack. (Perhaps this step is easier for people who are in tune with their emotional side, rather than their analytical side.) I just started thinking about everyone as having their own world (myself included), and their stories being true in their world. In a sense, sharing knowledge was a bit like they were taking me inside a bit of their world.

It freed me from having to immediately evaluate whether what they said was true or false. I could keep their ideas in their world and evaluate them there, and compare them to how things worked in my world. Sometime other people's ideas explain what is going on in my world better than my own ideas. At that point, I ditch my old ideas and accept their ideas as the new truth in my world.

It sounds kind of weird, and it probably is a bit. I've kind of created a analytical system for empathy, which allows me to evaluate world views in a scientific manner. Regardless, I've learned so much more since I stopped worrying about whether I was right in any given situation, and instead worried about listening instead. There's always time to evaluate later.
> it might be because I'm mainly a contractor; I didn't try to get employed full-time.

I bet that's most of it. Can't speak for Ireland, but almost every country has a lot of extra burdens and regulations that come with "employees" vs "contractors".

This buyout is based on FUD, and FUD-based investment is a recipe for disaster.

From the OP:

>But for both Jet and Wal-Mart, Amazon’s frenzy of warehouse construction and fast delivery—as quickly as one-hour—have proved formidable. The retailer has logged three straight quarters of record profit while locking in an estimated 60 million members to its $99-per-year Prime service, cultivating a loyal customer base and giving consumers fewer reasons to shop at traditional stores.

The answer is not buying a unicorn startup with seemingly no fundamental advantage over Amazon. If I were Wal-Mart, I would take the $3B and try to build a great technology organization and/or fund Wal-Mart Labs more. So much of what makes Amazon better is the data accrued over the last 18 years and the insight mined from them by their super-talented team.

And Jet.com is definitely not going to give that to Wal-Mart overnight. If I were them, I'd focus on long-term viability, not a short-term hack to placate shareholders.
That problem wasn't apparent to the users, and that's probably why people disliked it.

Learning to choose what to learn and what to spend time on is a very very hard skill to gain but one of the best. It'll save you so much time but also make you happier because you will actually master what you really want to learn rather than know a bit of everything and feel stretched out.

Here's the original article:
http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-lau...

I would say that "mostly false" is fine, based on the photo. This is based on the concluding statement: "Hilary is an advocate for rapists" etc.

Now, we all know that defense attorney for rapists != advocate for rapists. Ethics Watch admitted as much. However, they seemed to leave out the conclusion, which really was the whole point of the photo. To me, the conclusion should be given much greater weight in driving the rating.

Yes, the beginning of the photo is mostly true, but if the photo's post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacious conclusion is the real point, it doesn't matter. If I create a photo saying "Johnny listens to (insert current moral panic music here), Johnny grew up to be a criminal. Therefore, (moral panic music) makes you a criminal", that would be just as false... even if the first two statements are correct.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-14/debunking-...

The source article from the blog states "In the autumn of 2014 reported the National Police for 55 neighborhoods in 22 cities around the country where "local criminal networks is considered to have a negative impact on the local community." It's about neighborhoods that are characterized by "open drug sales, criminal dealings that manifests itself in serious violence in a public place, various forms of extortion and unlawful influence and acting out grievances against society."

The blog post you mention (the author makes no mystery of his ideas), and the source article, seems to take an official report stating that 55 zones have seen a worrying rise in crime and mixing it with anecdotal evidence and unrelated quotes to come to the conclusion that there are 55 "no-go" zones where "swedish law no longer applies", to spin a particular story for their readers.

> As late as this past June, Uber was predicting it would pass its rival within a year.

This is simply <del>not true</del> (edit: not going to happen). I'm a fan of Uber, but using Uber is kinda like a exotic thing to do (while Didi is more common). Uber can be only used in major cities, on the other hand Didi can be used almost anywhere. Didi simply expand faster in China. (Uber is available in less than 20 Chinese cities while Didi appears in hundreds.)

Also I don't view the merge of Uber China and Didi as a failure on Uber's side. It's more or less a peace treaty or truce (edit: between Uber per se and Didi, yes I know Uber China was merged). Uber-like service is simply too cheap in China for a long time, (I Uber to work for less than $2 for example), and both side cannot hold it any more. It's as simple as that.

(Before the Didi-Uber merge, there's a similar merge of Didi and it's major competitor Kuaidi, thus the full name Didi-Kuaidi, in which both side are Chinese companies and it's just that after long competition investors decided to facilitate a merge. This merge makes Uber the second largest, before that they were the 3rd.)

The story between Google and Baidu is a whole different one. First search engine as a gateway to informations is viewed as vital by the Chinese government and government really worked on Baidu's side.

I have a theory about this, it happened to us when we bought some childrens books on Jet. They came in the mail from Barnes and Noble with a packing slip that had a price higher than we paid included with it.

It doesn't explain the Amazon example you mentioned, but I was under the impression they have special affiliate arrangements with 3rd party retailers and that they were somehow being allowed to invest their affiliate commissions into the consumer (which is typically not allowed).

So if they're making 15% affiliate commissions from B&N they're able to drop the consumer price 10%. They've been focused on scale more than margin since day 1, so it would make sense that they would just operate on something razor thin and continue to drive home that they have unbeatable prices.

For the 3rd party retailers it's a way to compete with AMZN on price without actually having to drop their prices and I can see how that would be attractive to a retailer that's losing market share.

No basis for this, just one man's theory.
Seems to me if you don't want a project to be public knowledge don't put it on the Internet. Private projects are what internal repositories are for. You can always transition it to Github once it's open to the public.

At the very least, the administrators at Github are going to know about your project, and you don't know who they all are.

Well it was a type of joke on describing the job with "sexy". The meaning is: don't get tricked. Job interviewers intentionally make the position/place/company appear and feel great, but the reality might not hold up to that. It's an expectation.

It sounds like the new city and the lowered salary of the job with "sexy" features is thus also a fine idea. Without more details it is purely up to your judgement on how "sexy" that job really is compared to the other.

Sexy.

I think that they can privately decide okay, this is worth rating because of implications.

In the presentation, though, I think the implications should be left out. You're a fact checker, and whatever implication you pull from a claim is not necessarily the same as what others pull.

Anyway, I don't want my fact-checkers pushing an agenda, or defeating an agenda, with anything except facts. Let me use facts to side with the truth!

Don't you agree that if you present the facts in the Hillary claim, the implication & agenda is defeated? Why undermine your own trustworthiness by rating the (literal) claim false?

For a professional programer, if Beck is deemed "unsuccessful", I don't know who among us you will call successful.

If you are a professional programer in 2016, you very likely are familiar with the term "refactoring". This term was placed in our vernacular by the book "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" by Martin Fowler [1]. In the Preface to the book, Folwer writes:

Once upon a time, a consultant made a visit to a development project.
The consultant looked at some of the code that had been written; there
was a class hierarchy ..

...

I must admit to some bias here. I was that consultant. Six months later
the project failed, in large part because the code was too complex to
debug or to tune to acceptable performance.

The consultant Kent Beck was brought in to restart the project, an exercise
that involved rewriting almost the whole system from scratch. He did several
things differently, but one of the most important was to insist on continuous
cleaning up of the code using refactoring. The success of this project, and
role refactoring played in this success, is what inspired me to write this book,
so that I could pass on the knowledge that Kent and others have learned in using
refactoring to improve the quality of software.

...

In this book I describe the fruit of a lot of research done by others. The last
chapters are guest chapters by some of these people.
....
I've left the final word, Chapter 15, to the master of the art, Kent Beck.

You might also have heard of xUnit style of testing. Beck had a hand in many of these frameworks.

TL;DR - pay heed to the history of your profession.

> You are not voting for the platform, you are voting for the Clinton dynasty and the predominant wing of the Democratic party at the expensive of true progressive reforms that would bring us more in line with European social democracies.

There's no other option. I voted and campaigned for Bernie, but he didn't make the nomination. I could vote for a third party, with the same issues (Jill Stein is an anti-vaxxer, the libertarian party is too idealistic to see reality). But there's a time for campaigning for personal issues and a time for campaigning for votes, and I've moved from the former to the latter. I still call my representatives, but I don't think pushing my ideal platform is going to help with the presidential election.

So, maximizing my vote means evaluating and voting for the platform I prefer because the alternative is to become apathetic. Nobody wins then. Clinton has a long history of campaigning hard for things, and I don't think her platform is a bad fit for that type of work ethic.

See, I'd have no problem with the BlackLivesMatter movement except that they denounce productive protests by their own members for not being disruptive. There was a protest that turned into a BBQ with the protesters and police and the movement denounced it as against their principles. They seem to only want to be mad at police and not fix things. They only barely aren't advocating black supremacy in that their lives matter more. Its just not a good movement (in practice).
That's interesting, I hadn't considered it that way. I was looking at it as, "We want this person to work here because they passed our tests, now we wreck the deal for no reason." You're saying the salary disclosure is just one of the tests. Makes sense.

Being acquired is always seen as this awesome thing but it can be terrible for a lot of people. I didn't have enough equity to make enough to buy a used Honda Civic. I don't care for the culture of the new company but I'm still working there. Pretty much everyone on my direct team left, found a new position in the new company, or were let go. The same thing happened in most areas. Our founders did take care of us by ensuring we get 4 weeks of vacation instead of having to wait 15 years for that, so that's something. Another plus is that I managed to double my startup salary.

Probably not much will change, because it's an internal culture thing, not an external "wish we had this tool" sort of thing. Yes, some tools/services can reduce friction to make it easier, but if someone still has a policy which is counterproductive, and will not remove the policy, you won't get the necessary change.
