Yahoo shared the following statement with TechCrunch:

“We’re working to get auto-forward back up and running as soon as possible because we know how useful it can be to our users. The feature was temporary disabled as part of previously planned maintenance to improve its functionality between a user’s various accounts. Users can expect an update to the auto-forward functionality soon. In the meantime, we continue to support multiple account management. ”

The headline heavily implies it's permanent and intentional as an obstacle, which are not supported by available evidence.
My guess is the answer is "no, it doesn't scare many off".

I didn't know about the Facebook open-plan office, but I just went through the interview process for a similarly well known company, and everything saw at the interviews and on videos of their offices was the opposite of good.

But it never occurred to me to shy away from the job because of that.

I am sure they know these offices are bad for productivity, but for some reason they like to buy expensive real-estate, the inefficiency is paid for by the savings on rent.
...But can't you do the same thing with any REPL? Run NREPL (Or your local equivalent in your Lisp dialect) on a port for internal use, and then just connect to your server with SLIME/CIDER/Geiser or whatever you non-emacs-using folk use (although why you would use another text editor for Lisp code is beyond me).
In the map for Boston, two of the four core T stations are connected by a pedestrian tunnel. That tunnel isn't shown.
>Well that's definitely strange. Why would the developer do such a thing when Dash is basically the best app of its kind out there?

Because few people care to check it out / buy it?

Being the "best of its kind", belonging to a popular app genre, and actually selling are three distinct things.

My company was part of the prerelease program and its basically just like using a more professional version of Facebook. Like linkedin but internal only.

it's actually great to have a more social way of catching up with people. The main driver for us was pulling all the 'coffee machine is broken' type emails out of our 'work system' (email) and also let people share pictures of their pets and different social events going on around the world.

Plus the advantage is that there was massive uptake super quickly since everyone already had built in knowledge of how to use it from facebook.

Plus I can say stuff on there without my parents commenting on every single post i ever make which is nice...
Interesting they say they attribute it to stigmatization and judgement.

What I have observed among family in the medical industry is a reluctance to use the care they provide: not just Do-Not-Rescusitate orders but a tendency to just suffer through the sickness instead of seeking medication, and to let the illness take its course rather than seeking second opinions and treatment.

Of course, these are with regards to physical ailments. Family has been much less public about mental issues. But I wonder if these same fears and proclivities also translate to mental health problems.
Facebook launches intra-office ‘Workplace’ network
That was my first thought as well... Even if in this case it was actually Dash putting up fake reviews, this seems like a slightly dangerous precedent to set.

It would be a big risk, but one could potentially buy 'false flag' reviews - throw some negative reviews on your own product, and positive reviews on your biggest competitor - It would hurt yourself in the short-term, but could pay off if you can get the competitor banned. Again, super risky, probably stupid strategy... But with the state of the 'app' market, I wouldn't be surprised if people would try it.

Having dealt with nefarious characters in a pretty active community that was quick to defend their own members (even when they were being very naughty) I'll give my guess as to what's happened, basically assuming good faith in Apple, mainly to counter a lot of the questions here around "what if a competitor bought these..."

In cases where Apple is this certain (or seemingly certain) they usually have a smoking gun. That is, they have some kind of heuristic or action/event that is unquestionably tied to the developer. Perhaps a bunch of the positive reviews came from installs that used a developer freebie code, something only the developer could give out.

Also, smoking guns, when you're dealing with fraud and systems that people can manipulate, are the kind of thing you don't share with others.

I expect that Apple has seen _a lot_ of competitors trying to screw over other apps, and they would have exhausted that possibility before banning a popular app.
I don't know much Clojure, but it sounds like this is exactly the use case that context is meant for.

If you were to use dynamic scope, how would the variables be restored if one of the descendants updated via setState? It doesn't seem to me like it would work.

Also, not sure what "context hacks" you mean or what "web worker call stack serialization" is.

Wait a minute... Im a doctor and I disagree with this.

> They put the students through hell because that's what they had to go through...

True. But the reason is that it toughens you up and winnows the wheat from the proverbial chaff. The forced marches through the wards at 2am in the morning prepare the budding doctor for the real world where he can be called upon as say, the sole doctor for miles in a rural area to attend to a mass casualty event.

>In most other countries, doctors don't have an accreditation board. ...

I do not know of any country that does not have an accreditation board. The difference between countries is the process of accreditation. Sometimes it is direct: the student takes centralized a board exam; sometimes indirect: the student takes a uni exam approved/supervised by the board.

> it doesn't require years of school to set a bone or put in some stitches

Maybe. But it requires erudition and experience to anticipate that a poorly set bone can heal with complications(malunion, non-union,infection etc.)
Fun fact: when Admiral Nelson was wounded in the battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797 field surgeons had his arm amputated but mistakenly trapped his nerve in a ligature that caused him great pain until the mistake was corrected )

> it doesn't require years of school ...(to) diagnose the flu or pneumonia

That pov is exactly how people get misdiagnosed and killed (by quacks).

There are many different diseases that present alike and even subgroups of the same diseases that have different management regimes.
While it may seem obvious for instance, that a patient has pneumonia, one would also do well to ask what kind of pneumonia he has, why he has it (immunocompromise?, zoonosis?) and what the alternatives could be( the differential diagnosis). More than once has "ordinary pneumonia" been found to be lung cancer.
It takes years of post graduate training and practice to become proficient enough to identify different disease conditions and manage them with confidence.

Medical school hazing is not done because the seniors are sadists. Some aspects of the process could be improved but the rigor works and makes for good doctors.
Sorry, that was hastily written and poorly worded -- more accurately, we would AT LEAST, need browsers that support TCP connections in order to connect to the p2p networks that we already have. In practice we would need a lot more, as even apps like BitTorrent and blockchains still rely on our centralized internet infrastructure to some degree.

You mention the BitTorrent DHT, but I don't believe that it's necessary to connect to a centralized super-node. You do, however; need the address of at least one other peer to start. Unfortunately, the only way to assign an address is through our ISP system which is centralized. For true peer-to-peer architecture, normal people would have to connect the internet at the same level that ISPs such as Comcast and AT&T connect to each other... think some sort of large scale mesh network.
Compared to previous generations (and the change is quite steep -- I am talking about students today vs. students 5-10 years ago), a growing proportion of medical students have entitlement issues.

Those issues are roughly two-fold : (1) feeling entitled to a "balanced" lifestyle; (2) feeling entitled to help people. The first one is obvious: student want to leave early, they don't understand that patients always come first, that, sometimes, you have no choice but to be sleep-deprived for days, and so on.

The second one is a kind of "Mother Teresa Complex" when students experience uncontrolled anxiety and distress upon seeing a fully competent adult actively undermining his own care. I see it all the time when they try to talk a lung-cancer smoker into stopping for 30-40 minutes, come back almost crying that he's not interested, and can't believe that their "trying to help" means they are now late, and I'm not happy at all.
So, now we have a "He Said; She Said" situation. Who do we trust? Apple? They've made mistakes before, and need to protect their integrity. The Dash developer? It's in his best interests to paint himself in the best light.

What's worse, by coming out, the Dash developer has forced Apple into a defensive position, ensuring that Dash will never appear on iOS again. Dash has now lost revenue and exposure opportunities, and Apple's consumers are reminded once again that they don't have the right to control their devices.

Both sides want to come out of this looking good, and right now neither side does.
There you have it! Your avarage liberal is indistinguishable from a simple markov chain.
Where did you do your internship, and what were you asked to do there? How many hours did you work and study while in school? Were you expected to work much longer hours as a junior employee to "work your way up the ranks?

I think these are the sorts of elements of a hazing culture that GP is discussing. Not necessarily fraternity-prank style hazing.
According to Gruber[1], it's not Dash itself, but it's the apps that the developer had created on his other accounts.

[1]: http://daringfireball.net/2016/10/apple_dash_controversy
It also sounds like he didn't get those attempts. It's easy to assume good faith on the part of both parties here.
And what if he believes it?

I have little reason to doubt that Dash really posted lots of fake reviews. It's not like Apple goes and accuses people of that all the time...

I'm a Rails developer. I work on pretty standard web apps for a living. Some more complicated than others, but still, web apps.

I still haven't found a person that was able to give me a concrete reason why someone like me should invest time and resources into learning React and using it in my projects.

This is an honest question, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. It's just that there are so many frameworks that come out that it's very hard to know where to invest your time.
I'd imagine the job prospects for ex cons specializing in cryptography aren't that great anyway.
The barrier to entry to becoming a programmer is significantly lower, so hopefully the pressure will never be as bad. But as a recent CS graduate I certainly feel a lot of stress about my skills or lack thereof. Coincidentally, my twin brother is applying to med schools right now (on the order of 40). I applied to exactly 2 jobs, got an offer and took it.
What you said is something I had in mind. While nefarious corporations might not even bother, I don't doubt that there are plenty of businesses out there who can hypothesize a high likelihood that a study will work in their favor and, therefore, it might be worth facilitating the research in a way to try and limit their influence. Granted, this is assuming a best-case universe where enough people actually care whether a study was done this way or not. Then again, maybe it's one of those things that should be tried to see what happens.
Food is NOT like software.

If you make software, and your customers lose data, time, or money because you sold them buggy software due to lack of testing, you'll probably be OK. You can iterate quickly and break things regularly as you improve the product, and your customers will put up with it.

But if you make food, and your customers get poisoned because you sold them poison due to lack of testing, you're going to get in trouble. Federal and state government agencies will want to have a serious chat with you and possibly will shut you down. You cannot iterate quickly and break things regularly to improve a food product; you cannot experiment with the health of your customers.

If poisoning from Soylent bars was due to lack of careful testing prior to releasing the bars to market, shame on the company.

FYI, the "web" link is exactly for this. Paywalled sources get penalized in Google's search results, so most of the time searching for the article's title and clicking the Google search results link gets you the full article.
That's a "fun fact": it makes complete and total sense to wear helmets while driving.
Fair. At least in my own experience, I have succeeded in making myself sick more frequently from stupid decisions in the kitchen. I think this was part of the appeal of Soylent to me :-P.
The last time there was a recall on food that I had purchased, I got a notice from the grocery store at checkout. With my receipt came a warning that I had purchased product XYZ during the time when it may have been subject to recall and that I should discard it and follow the process for a refund.

Yes, this is the type of hazing I am referring to. Call it "institutionalized hazing" rather than fraternity style hazing. The bar exam for lawyers is one good example of hazing. Most law grads who apply themselves will pass, it's just a form of hazing for new entrants. Other countries with common law have just as good, if not better, bars and they do not have postgraduate law degrees and bar exams to become admitted. I don't buy the "it reduces supply" either, because of the high pass rates, but even if it was used for this, it would simply be injustice. If you want to filter people out, do it before they waste three years and $150,000.
Interesting...seems like all the content is available. Last I remember, you needed a CMU ID to access the course materials.
This is Jim Dalrymple's site (I might have the spelling wrong). He is well-known among Apple bloggers to be well connected to Apple people. I've seen sites like MacRumors use a "Yep." confirmation from Dalrymple as evidence of a rumor, so I guess folks have some reason to believe he's connected.
Interesting, I assumed that the field would become more selective over time. Or is it because just getting accepted to medical school itself is already extremely competitive?
The benefits are part of an employee's compensation. It's something they earn by working there. It contractually belongs to them, not to Hobby Lobby.
For me noise isn't the only problem. People moving around, and walking by my desk is just as distracting.
Its very interesting that they only have one shot or two of the actual offices that people work, and the rest being the architecture.
The staggering level if debt accumuliated to get all the way through is another factor, you could invest a huge amount of money and still fail out 3/4 of the way through the process. That's incredible pressure.

> just like in SQL.

Which SQL dialect are you using where you can ROLLBACK after COMMIT? That isn't ANSI SQL-92 or SQLite behavior. Quoting the standard:

> An SQL-transaction is terminated by a <commit statement> or a <rollback statement>.

Perhaps you were thinking of savepoints?
What question is that? I'm apparently not smart enough to come up with a question that would enable me to distinguish between reviews from agents paid by competitors versus those paid by the original developer.

Edit: Seriously, what question can I ask? This sounds like a fun brainteaser, like the one where half of the people on an island are liars and half are truth-tellers, and the explorer has to figure out which fork in the road leads to the village. If there's an answer, I'd genuinely like to hear it. Downvoting me is just a way to shrug your shoulders and admit your bluff has been called.
Using neural networks to generate images from Blade Runner
I don't disagree with medicine being hard. I'm not going to get into the difference difficulty between learning medicine or computer science.

I guess I should have mentioned my point first, which is that just like you don't need a star computer scientist to write an app for a restaurant, you don't need a doctor with all that training and theoretical knowledge to diagnose a sprained ankle.

I'm sorry about your condition, but that condition probably is fairly rare. How many of your other health issues couldn't be diagnosed by somebody with less training?

> however I think you are using an imprecise term "rent-seeking"

I don't see how I am. Can you please elucidate? You have to pass boards to practice medicine in the US, which requires a huge investment of time and money, and after you do that, you want to restrict supply so that you're in high demand. That way for the rest of your career you can coast on your laurels and keep collecting a paycheck.

I didn't realize it, but you're right, they removed the UI option. And that's probably a good idea, because anybody who isn't capable of turning that on with the Terminal probably shouldn't. It's a good bit of security. And you don't even need to change that option to run non-signed apps anyway, since you can always right-click the app and select Open and it will allow you (after a warning) to launch it anyway even though it is unsigned (and IIRC it only warns you for quarantined apps, so once you've launched it this way you can launch it normally afterwards).
I always wondered if forking a giant processes (i.e., large memory footprint) to create a small processes caused a lot of needless memory to be allocated, but now I understand why its no big deal:

For example, the fork/exec combo creates transient virtual memory usage
spikes, which go away again almost immediately without ever breaking the
copy on write status of most of the pages in the forked page tables. Thus
if a large process forks off a smaller process, enormous physical memory
demands threaten to happen (as far as overcommit is concerned), but never
materialize.
