> When an organization can operate without your presence for over 300 days, your role may not be very necessary.

For an alternative view: When an organization can't operate without your presence in that role, how can they consider promoting you out of that role?

I've seen people stall their careers by becoming the only person able to cover a particular role. I personally fell into this trap for a couple of years.

In hindsight, feeling like they couldn't do without me for a week or two for a holiday was a huge red flag. Since then, I've been conscious and cautious of this, and actively planned to avoid it.

Anything I feel I'm the only one who can cover, I make a point to properly document the process, have someone shadow me the next time I need to do it, and eventually perform the process themselves while I supervise.
Imagine tons of meetings about new/impending regulations that are unclear, poorly defined, restrictive, and enforced by regulatory employees who don't always understand the nuances of the businesses they are overseeing.

Imagine your compliance officer coming over to you or a coworker to give you news of an investigation of trading activity that happened months ago.

Imagine banks hiring compliance employees to keep up with a growing number of regulations, and firing IT guys to pay for it.

Imagine being quoted on the biggest trade of the year by a client who is screaming at your salesman for a price, and having to mentally iterate through a checklist of "is this over X dollars notional, does it surpass Y position limit, etc" because you have been in ten different meetings where compliance officers passed out Powerpoint presentations outlining new rules.

Imagine seeing an opportunity for a great trade, but doing nothing about it because you can't justify opening a new position in a subsector where you have no client positions.

Imagine having your emails and messages frequently investigated by regulatory bodies because they were flagged by a word search or some other unsophisticated screening tool, and being asked to write an explanation of months-old conversations that you have since forgotten. After a while, you don't feel comfortable putting anything in writing at all, even if you follow every rule in the book.
Mobile UX Design: Common Pitfalls to Avoid
My guess: being on one of the top lists in an app store is a ton of exposure. One of the biggest problems with selling apps is getting people to know it exists. Once it fell off the top paid apps list, it suddenly got far, far harder for people to find it, thus the dramatic drop in sales.
You're describing a fixed vs. growth mindset.
This applies both to your current perception of people (notably children), and also your perception of yourself when you're a child.

I believe in the growth mindset - to explain your example of sibling dominance, I believe that a child's mindset heavily influences their ability to learn. If it has a positive effect, the preparation they do is both more effective and more bountiful (this is usually classified as stubbornness / determination). But preparation _is_ necessary to perform a task at a high level. When you hear of 'prodigies', they often started whatever it was - math, music, sports, programming - at a very early age, and reaped the interest.
There's a difference between having the ability to tune out noise when you come across it, and deliberately seeking it out -- or not avoiding it if you are warned in advance.

Furthermore, this type of noise in particular is generally an excellent hint that the actual "educational" content is going to be less educational and more propaganda.

>Understood the double standards women impose on dating very well. Women want to have fun in their youth, date the hottest guys, explore their life and when they got old, end up in the arms of a great stable person....essentially, they want to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

This is known as "alpha fucks, beta bucks“.

It sounds somewhat crude at first, but as a guy dating quite a bit now in my 30s, it's an accurate description for many women these days.

I'm pretty sure it'll be a long time before you aren't any longer expected to take over your autonomous vehicle at any point and therefore won't need a driving license.
With all of these questions and nobody understanding it, I'm starting to doubt myself.

But my impression was that it's like a digital breadboard emulator, but in hardware. So you essentially have a digitally programmable hardware breadboard. So as one example, normally if you would need a resistor in a circuit, instead of physically putting a resistor there of the correct strength, you can do so digitally, and you dont have to physically mess around with a resistor.

I'm a gay female entrepreneur. I would be happy to work with, or take investment from, Peter Thiel.

I believe Peter Thiel is acting in what he believes to be the country's, or possibly the world's, best interests. I also believe that he's totally wrong. Lots of investors I've enjoyed working with before have been completely off-base about (and made much bigger investments in) major trends I've thought to be implausible, but I've been very happy with their guidance and support nonetheless.

My opinion might be different if he explicitly supported some of the specific insane ramblings the Trump ticket has dished out recently. I'm not willing to work with an investor who wouldn't respect my marriage to my wife, or who doesn't think I deserve equal pay for equal work. But he's not saying those things; he's suggesting that, on balance, the world would be better off with Trump and a Republican presidency than Hillary and a Democratic white house. Heck, he might even be right, time will tell.

Frankly, this whole thing has left me respecting Peter Thiel even more. He knew that the full weight of his peer group would fall on him when he spoke at the RNC and made this very public donation, but he did it anyways. Avoiding the typical VC herd mentality is child's play in comparison.
On my S7 Edge, the page is too small to read (except for the headline, obviously).

However, I can pick a column and double-tap it. The Android browser smart-zooms, and I can read the content just fine. If something's too small, I can finger-spread.

For instance, it's easy to smart-zoom the link list in the center column, scroll down to a columnist, finger-spread to increase the target size, and click through to his latest.

David from Sentry here. I've got a long history of talking about scale in the python/web ecosystems. I'll echo what some others have said: scale is fundamentally a business metric.

If we can do more with less machines it's no different than doing more with more machines. We added triple our infrastructure to handle the Python load while we resolved this CPU issue, and that wasn't "scaling" (literally, it causes other scale concerns).

Fixing the root cause let's us drop all of those new machines as well as some older ones. The scalability of the system has greatly increased because of this and other factors -- primarily that many or all systems aren't actually "horizontally" scaleable.

From what I've gathered from some (admittedly not in depth) research, the effective contrast of ink on paper for books tends to be around 12:1, and for long form text that tends to be what I shoot for. I find the as-high-as-you-can go contrast of pure black on pure white to be a (tiny) bit of a strain when I'm reading a sufficiently long article.

I see these "all the text on the web is a sea of grey" articles come up every so often, and I agree that the kind of bananas low contrast sites that they point to are problematic. But when I look around, these honestly seem to be outliers. Sites like the New York Times, Washington Post, The AV Club, CNN, and so on tend to be in that 12:1 contrast range or even higher. There are exceptions--Vox is only around 7.5:1 contrast ratio (which surprised me, since I find it pretty readable, but they're using big text in a highly legible typeface). But the worst offenders I find often seem to be sites that I suspect are driven more by engineering departments than designers: Google App Engine and Apple's system documentation are the big examples in this article, for instance. (Apple's consumer-facing web sites tend toward noticeably higher contrast type than the linked fiasco.)
I have a specific problems with the HS math curriculum I experienced (as opposed to the general problems with the whole math curriculum I had before my junior year of college). Mainly, there was just so much wasted time it was unbelievable.

I actually cannot remember a single thing that I learned in Algebra II because I either relearned it in Pre-Calc or never used it again. Similarly, we spent the whole first semester of Calc BC redoing all of Calc AB. What a waste!

If I could, I would replace all that wasted time with Linear Algebra (with proofs) and Probability (throw in statistics if you want). Calculus should stay, but teachers should motivate it better (this goes back to the general problems I alluded to). Those two classes are immensely useful and teach a whole different modes of thought compared to the regular pre-college curriculum.
“We care deeply about diversity,” Mr. Zuckerberg wrote in an internal Facebook post to employees. “That’s easy to say when it means standing up for ideas you agree with. It’s a lot harder when it means standing up for the rights of people with different viewpoints to say what they care about. That’s even more important.”

This could not be more on point. I respect Mark Zuckerberg more for saying this. We may not agree with what people say, but we should fight for their right to say it.
So.. like linear regression, and removing outliers to get a more correct fit?

LA wouldn't be any harder to teach than Calculus. In fact, if you wanted to teach proof based math that isn't Geometry, it's probably the easiest subject area.

I don't think you can get rid of Calc in HS though. It's just too useful. I think room can be made for both subjects, though.

From my personal experience, this is utter bullcrap. At my first real programming job in a somewhat large company, we were an Android team of 6 developers aged 20-25 (the 25 y.o. guy was the team leader) and one dude aged 40. It was very easy to get along with him, even though we couldn't really relate to the problems of having a teenage daughter. I wouldn't call these cultural differences problematic at all - actually having an older person's perspective on your team can be quite beneficial, young people are often too impulsive for their own good.

Most of us were juniors facing our first professional coding gig. The older guy's experience was invaluable because he already knew a bunch of languages, had used lots of different SDKs and had made a ton of mistakes, so we could and did learn a lot from him. The only thing that struck me as silly was that he was a 'Junior Developer' by job title since he also wasn't experienced in the concrete platform, even though he could code circles around us newbies.

Then it is still up to those people to make their decisions. This is probably hard to get for many people but the best way to address a problem is not by polarization and fomenting an 'us versus them' mentality but by engaging and dialog. If you want Thiel to chance his stance write to Thiel, don't try to cause others to severe their connections with Thiel in order to isolate him.

The best way to get someone that according to you is doing something wrong to change their way is by talking to them and arguing with them. The worst way is to isolate them, it will only cement their relationship with the party that you object to stronger because that will be all that remains.

GCC was largely ignored until the day SUN decided to split Solaris developer tools into a commercial SDK, and other UNIX vendors followed along.

>Earlier this week, Ellen Pao, the head of Project Include, an organization that is trying to increase diversity in the tech industry’s work force, said her group was severing ties with Y Combinator because of Mr. Thiel’s involvement.

Isn't this the same person that went on a fishing campaign for free money from her employer under the guise of sexism? IIRC it was shot down by the courts and Y Combinator should have severed ties with her then since false accusations do much worse damage to the fight for equality than doing nothing at all.

Where is the outrage over YC associating with her?

Ellen Pão has a history of shutting down her opposition with force.
> what if that person is a nazi?

There are no unpersons who still participate peacefully in the political process, and it's best to keep it that way—Nazis included, as hard as that is to stomach.

No-platforming isn't just morally wrong, it's tactically wrong too: it only "works" when your group is in power. The moment you lose power, you'll be wishing you hadn't pushed so hard to shut up dissenters.

The more odious someone's political beliefs are, the more important it is they remain in the company of the sober and reasonable: it's the only chance society has to bring them back into the fold without bloodshed.
I find that once you're trying to hide info or functionality it's because you don't know the users workflow. Understanding workflow is the key to usability, at least with LOB apps, trying to cram everyone's needs into a single table or building UI's that are essentially skins over database tables make for some awful UI's.
Then it is our privilege and responsibility as free-thinking individuals to make that judgment.

It's possible to respectfully and courteously disagree with even the most heinous beliefs. Characterization that prevents discourse is a danger to both the sides.
Absolutely, Ellen Pão is a farce. She represents everything reprehensible about the faux social justice warriors in silicon valley. A hypocrite is what she is

While this subject matter has been covered to exhaustion in a previous post, I believe it is a very dangerous slippery slope to boycott Peter Thiel. If one ostracizes a person based on their political beliefs (and contributions), then we will need to review every election going back decades. Just a few examples off the top of my head:

1) Woodrow Wilson -- An avowed racist and segregationist

2) Teddy Roosevelt -- Warmonger (War with spain)

3) Franklin Roosevelt -- Fire bombing of Tokyo as retribution for Pearl Harbor, among other major civilian cities (and internment of Japanese Americans).

4) Harry Truman -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki

5) Dwight Eisenhower -- Korean War

6) John F Kennedy -- Getting involved in Vietnam War

7) Lyndon Johnson -- Continuing the War (Gulf of Tonkin)

8) Richard Nixon -- Expanding war to Cambodia

9) Ronald Regan -- Nicaragua, and other smaller wars, bombing of Qaddafi in Libya as well.

10) George H. Bush -- 1st Iraq war

11) Bill Clinton -- Bombing of Serbia, and launching missiles at Tunisia

12) George W Bush -- Afghanistan and Iraq

13) Obama -- Increasing Drone strikes 10x fold.

Many progressives (Noam Chomsky et al) would consider the above actions corresponding to each president as rising to the level of war crimes. Hence, by this logic, anyone that voted for them is equally culpable. That's nonsense!

A lot of people conflate the right to free speech with the right to have no repercussions for your speech.

If people choose not to do business with Peter Thiel because of his political views they aren't infringing on his right to free speech. It doesn't really make sense for them to do, especially if they are making that decision on behalf of a publicly traded company, but no one is infringing his first amendment rights.

>>(a) and (b): taking away the autopilot feature from both airplanes and cars, an airplane pilot still has to undergo substantially more training than a car driver does, so imho the increased training for pilots compared to vehicle drivers is largely coming from the difficulty in controlling the machine and the more deadly consequence of control-loss to the driver / pilot and to the others.

But part of the training that a pilot of an "airplane with autopilot" has to undergo has to do with understanding what the autopilot can and cannot do and what the pilot has to do.

Tesla is not making this mandatory for their drivers to undergo rigorous training regarding this very feature that they taut so much. Then as you have pointed out they are opportunistically advertising that very feature and then when the unsuspecting user is caught off-guard, the Tesla is shouting "Gotcha, you didn't read the fine print. See, it is clearly mentioned here". If then the customer says that but that thing was mentioned amongst thousand other things and that too in font so small, Tesla will counter him/her "see, that's your problem not ours."
If that's what they want then be it so. If that's what is making them happy then be it so.

It may help Tesla win some law-suit. But they will clearly and surely lose big on the customer trust.

>>"YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD IDIOT"

Btw, It's not fair to say the user an "idiot" when the larger idiocy (and not just idiocy but a cruel practical joke on the customers bordering on criminal activity as it may be at the cost of customer's life) is committed by Tesla manufacturers.

Sad, I was a fan of Tesla but no more.
