"We have to work on the creatives to show to the client next week."
I just don't remotely agree.

Firstly, the military isn't one homogenous organization, and can be sharply internally divided in a way they don't often expose to the public. And to a large extent, their message is set by partisan civilian leaders.

Secondly, failures in one area doesn't negate progress in another -- and that the leader of the NSA immediately fired their IG when other IGs found an issue with performance is a big deal. That's a fundamental change in policy and accountability to civilian authority.

We can't be purely antagonistic to the military. We demanded they change course, and a few years later, they've clearly changed how they handle these matters.

For a bureaucracy the size of the DoD, that's lightning speed.

This. To provide context, we have a problem in France (I suppose we're not alone in that) with super rich people buying most press channels, to the point where we can't trust them anymore to do proper investigation job (when people wonder "why do billionaires buy press?", the usual answer is "to have leverage with politicians").

I think people like the poster above don't really understand what marketing is. It's essentially impossible to create something for other people and not involve marketing to get it out to people, even if you don't realize you're taking part in marketing activities.

What happens is people only associate advertising with marketing, which is really only one piece of it. Furthermore, they take one type of advertising, with data-hungry and sometimes intrusive online ads, and extrapolate their negative feelings towards that to ALL of marketing. Thus, anyone involved in marketing is a lesser person than them.

I found it weird that the article claims that the lack of the definite article is the only sign that makes the machine-translated version of the Hemingway worse. OK, that's the only clinching evidence, but it's easy to spot how it's a lot more stilted in other respects, too.

It's still impressive, mind, and a big improvement over the previous translation, but not perfect like the article wants to imply.
No, I absolutely agree.
But I do think developers in Germany have it a lot better (from a safety standpoint, work regulations, IP law, etc.pp.) than people in the US - it's just that we get paid less (comparing 60-70k EUR vs 120-140k USD as very rough estimate) and there's no hire & fire.
My point is that I think that's why we'd be able to peruse the advantages of a union a lot less. As long as the market is so that we can find a new job near instantly.
Maybe I'm also blind to our disadvantages (because I live here, but I think many EU countries are comparable) - but that's why I think the 'typical union advantages' are even less prevalent in the US.

Addendum: I think the job safety thing is bigger, who can predict if this will be a safe job when most of us readers here (assuming age 20-40) are closer to retirement. Then again I'm not sure unions really help against companies not wanting to hire 50+ people for normal (I.e. non-manager) jobs.
To clarify - your statement is, "this [talking to one's harassers] should always be the first step". It is an extremely broad statement and I am curious how you defend it.

> It might be more code, and it surely has a lot of tricky code and shit-to-maintain code (.doc import?!), but I very much doubt it's more complicated.

There are some articles of Joel Spolsky explaning why office document formats are so complicated (not my word) [1]. The spec for MS doc is like 500 or so pages. The spec is longer than my video game graphics book I had in college. I recommend some research before assuming.

> That being said complicatedness has little to do with compile time now, has it? :)

Actually there is a correlation [2]. Of course it depends on what you call or think complexity is.

Believe it or not engines may not actually be as complex because they typically are based on math formulas or combinations of simple algorithms. Math is often simple and doesn't require lots of branching (if conditions). The algorithms have to be fairly simple anyway otherwise performance would be bad.

Buisiness software or actual video games on the other hand are full of branching. NetHack may not have 3D graphics or any graphics but it is an extremely complicated game.

You're assuming electronic AGI would inherently be superior to biological. Yes machines are "fast" in some senses but are still much less parallel than the brain.

Whenever and wherever someone mentions Quake 1, there will be fists being shaken and bumped!

frantic, fluid gameplay, even on lousy hardware (heck, I started quaking on a 486 dx2 66 and it ran quite okay at 320x240), insane difficulty, clever map design and lots of secrets to be found... seriously, that game was soo frigging amazing.

Don't even get me started on multiplayer... although we old folks have played our share of deathmatches on Doom/Doom2 (Dwango, anyone?) or Duke Nukem 3D, it was really Quake 1 (together with the booming Internet) that started this whole frenzy. And oh boy, then QuakeWorld came and made it really playable at 300ms+ pings (28800 bauds dial-up!), then we got mods like Team Fortress, and from there it escalated.

So would be "everyone except Asians" but that would be considered racist. But "everyone except white people" is clearly not racist because you can't be prejudiced against someone who happens to be white. /s

> here are thousands of companies out there where people of color and women face harsh discrimination, so counterbalancing that with companies that favor them would just help balance the scales.

Why is the solution not more accountability? More policies in place to make complaints about discrimination more vocal? Discrimination against workers was outlawed decades ago. Why aren't we prosecuting it like the crime it is, instead of trying to discriminate against another group of people as though that'll fix the problem.
Ask HN: What if you had access to NSA database of customer conversations?
Suppose you somehow have access to a database of b2b and b2c customer service calls that are transcripted. You also have a log of all customer-to-representative conversations inside brick and mortar stores. Could be from NSA or some fictitous technology.

Saying "it happens to everyone, it's not gendered" is ignorant at best.

From article above:

> yes, people disagree and are jerks. But they also tend to be much bigger, nastier jerks to women, people of color, and folks in other marginalized groups. Women and people of color can shrug off harassment too, of course, and often do. But they also tend to face more, and more vicious, attacks

"Women .. face more attacks" is what I mean by not equal. "More", meaning "not an equal amount".
> I can't help but notice the contradiction. A man jumped to her defense, which was sexism, and then her co-workers got resentful, which she wanted to be defended from but wasn't, and that was sexism too. Somehow, we all need to display more empathy for her situation.

There's no contradiction. Sexism can express itself both in putting women down and in putting women in a pedestal.

Except if you read the entire article, she says that she didn't at first see this as harassment, only as an embarrassing situation. It was only after the harassment and intimidation escalated that she looked back to see where it really began.

> ...rather than a beneficiary of unearned perks. The empathy she demands for herself...

Your entire post comes across as something one of her harassers would write in retaliation, and this in particular sticks out. If a woman doesn't want white knights to come to her rescue, that's her prerogative, not for you or anyone else to dictate, and it's certainly not a character flaw or an excuse for continued harassment and intimidation.

Solidarity was by no means a normal trade union comparable to those in the west. It was directly supported by the US Government, not confined to any particular industry, was illegal rather than supported by pro-union laws (as is often the case in the west) and existed in an oppressive dictatorship not a democracy.
As a philosopher who also works in philosophy and frequently reviews for top journals, I have skimmed over this article and unfortunately have to say that these kind of loose essays who mingle together various unrelated issues in some grand tour de force without any stringent argumentation don't do our discipline much of a favor.

In my personal experience, roughly 90% of philosophy publications are trash (give or take), but the remaining 10% are extremely interesting and worth reading both by philosophers and people outside the field. You have to pick carefully. Moreover, if you look at the history of philosophy that has always been the case, although the percentage of trash might have increased a little bit lately due to the nature of peer reviewing and the overall state of the discipline as a profession (too many people, not enough room for originality, too much focus on number of publications and self-promotion).

Hawking's point was different, though, and he's essentially right. The vast majority of all professional philosophers simply don't have the mathematical skills and time to keep at pace with any developments in physics after special relativity and early quantum physics. But don't blame the philosophers alone for it, this is the result of our educational system and the extreme rise of mathematical methods in sciences in general. Who can afford, in our modern society, to master the latest developments of String Theory and what's going on in philosophy with its many areas and subareas, all of this at the same time?

On a side note, if you're interested in formal philosophy, exact philosophy, philosophy as a science or however you might call it, I'd recommend studying mathematics instead and philosophy only as a secondary topic or not at all. It's easy to get into a philosophy department as a mathematician, there are many examples, but the other way round? Not going to happen.

Just so people know, there are arrays used for text manipulation in Haskell in the Data.Text library, and bytestrings in the ByteString library. The language as specified does indeed have strings in a linked list of numbers, but if you even remotely care about performance you don't use those, and most libraries don't either nowadays.

I think she followed the correct procedure. A problem was occurring and she went to HR to inform them. Would of it been better if she had evidence? Of course, but it's HR's ultimate responsibility to conduct the investigation. Just like it's the police's responsibility to conduct a investigation after an incident, not the victims.

I dont think its about white males and brown females. Such behaviour in any corporate setting or any workplace setting is vile. No one has to go through harrassment of any kind and thats why big companies at least invest some time in setting up HR policies to prevent such kind of culture to develop but as we see its never perfect.
That goes for the rest of you useless cowards, too. Have a nice life reaping the character you sowed.
I disagree slightly - having been in management and having dealt with multiple harassment issues, the responsibility of the target of harassment is to report it, and it is the management's responsibility to investigate even handedly. As outside observers, we need to try to restrain ourselves and refrain from brash judgements.

Harassment situations like these can be difficult to talk about publicly for a number of reasons; respecting the privacy of all parties involved, readers' natural tendencies to issue a judgement, and so on. My take has always been that anonymized public stories like these are mostly as awareness raising not specific accusations - the emphasis is on the difficulty of the experience, not really trying to bring a specific person to justice (usually, of course there are exceptions). I do think that, if the reader is receptive, such stories are useful for helping to understand what this sort of thing looks like and what someone who is targeted by harassment is going through and perhaps provide suggestions to those who can help on how to help.

But as for placing guilt itself, I'd suggest that's not the business of stories like this or the business of those reading it. Even when you are in a position where it is your responsibility to address an issue of harassment, getting the story in a fair way is very difficult, and it's really unpleasant for everyone involved. Those who are responsible for others of course need to get over the discomfort of such discussions and work to resolve the issues, whether it's by correcting behavior or helping to explain misunderstandings, which can still be hurtful even if they are not meant to be.

It is unfortunate though understandable why many businesses take a handsoff position out of fear of legal reprecussions, since such actions just make the entire thing worse. Pretending it's not happening doesn't help anyone, whether it's based on a misunderstanding or not.
