Sam Altman's AMA
India has a culture of corruption, corruption is so embedded in the Indian way of life, India has frequent anti-corruption campaigns.

There is rampant corruption and greed in outsourcing contract firms. Resources are underpaid, often under multiple tiers of contract companies each getting their 30-50% cut. Occasionally who shows up wasn't the one interviewed. Some contract companies are body shops, farming out H-3 (training VISA) persons who are effectively slaves since it's illegal to work under an H-3. The H-1B managers strategically build teams of H-1B people and exclude others to grow their presence until some companies (VMware, VISA, etc.) have diversely lopsided populations of contractors.

Outsourcing needs to be outlawed, because it hurts companies, employees (training their replacement) and their families, victimized contract resource. Companies won't stop because they're looking to fill project resource slots, in many cases trivialize the need for quality and experience, and simply don't care about external corruption.
Inverse Problems Course, Lectures 2017 – University of Helsinki [video playlist]
With one-or-two exceptions, what the paper describes is very familiar and sounds like most software teams, but most teams don't achieve Google-like performance/stability/success.

The differentiation is in details that the paper doesn't explore.

I agree, this paper will just lead to more monolithic Git repos "because it's good enough for Google", without the appreciation of Google's other tooling and processes.
I'll second this. I routinely counsel clients to plan on spending 75/hr for a junior to mid level developer if they want someone competent, 100-110/hr for someone senior level, and 125-150/hr if they're trying to roll multiple skill sets into a single contractor or firm.

The biggest mistake you can make as a contractor is underpricing yourself. Not only does it hurt the market but you can find yourself in situations where you can't work enough hours to cover taxes, downtime, benefits like health insurance, much less a vacation. Then you start making mistakes like overbooking yourself to make up the difference and do a crappy job with all of your projects.

Well, I dint know what they decded the ethics were for biotechnology, but genetically engineering seeds so that farmers depend on the auxiliary herbicides from singular corporations strikes me as unethical. Not to mention that farmers are reliant on those same corporations for seed itself. Seeds that have been cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years are getting replaced with zombie varieties that disrupt ecologies. This is a crisis. We are losing our collective seed memory.

To me, capitalism is not about free markets, it's about debt markets. Maybe that's because the only capitalism I've ever known is ideologically restricted. Its champions are often hypocrites of their religion, where income from rent is deemed productive while work done by a mother in taking care of her children is consumptive and indebted.

WhatsApp turns on two-factor authentication for everyone
It's unfortunate that this guide is not presented in two columns, at least partially. It's hard to line up the Don't's with Do's.

For example in the Don't section it says "[Don't] Store sensitive information in cloud services like Evernote or Dropbox." Ok, but where is the corresponding entry in the "Do" section, which tells folks how to store sensitive information? Especially in a way that permits more than one person to access and use the information, which is key to how both journalists and activists work?

There might not be a "good" answer. But recognizing that people have to work, there is probably a sense of "better" or "best for now". Maybe that's the format:

Don't | Better
Don't use your fingerprint | Use a long passphrase
to lock/unlock devices | to lock your devices.

EDIT: This guide is very helpful and kudos to the folks to made it. I offer my thoughts solely in the spirit of "maybe this feedback will be helpful." My intention is not to sit on the sidelines throwing rocks at people who are actually doing things.

> I see this belief in probably about 80% of people I encounter, and it has little correlation with how smart one is.

The virtue he is discussing is humility vs pride, and I think you're right that it isn't really correlated with intelligence. People all over the IQ spectrum will exhibit both.

Pride may be a common stumbling block to those who don't often experience failure though (i.e in the smarter crowd), because failure teaches circumspection and trains you to question your assumptions and reasoning when challenged.
Great list, I'm glad the crew in the comment threads put it together. 2 observations:

* These lists are often made but are never kept up to date as recommendations change. Will this list be any different?

* Use Gmail? We can't pick some other web based, 2FA capable non-US hosted service that doesn't specifically use machines to scan your content for ad serves? This recommendation was the only one that furrowed my brow.

Questions and suggestions:

1. For "Do as much of your work as possible on an iPhone or iPad." -- as opposed to what? Android and Windows? Would listing device options be a possibility?

2. Possibly: add a set of suggestions for transporting device(s) across borders or acquiring them. I suspect mail or package delivery might be an option -- or if it's not, then clarifying the risks would be of interest.

3. Operating systems: A list of most to least secure might also be handy. E.g., WinCE, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Linux, TAILS, etc. Some indication of where "good enough" starts to apply.

4. Out-of-scope for document to include a full set of terms and definitions, but a glossary with links to additional reading might be of interest.

5. Providing "why" links might also be useful. E.g., Fingerprints (can be forced to divulge, fewer legal protections than passwords).

6. Formatting: A bulleted list would be slightly easier to read. A numbered list can be specifically referenced (e.g., "'Don't' #4 ...").

7. Define terms. E.g., "Long password" "At least 20 characters, 200 if possible", say. Tips on passphrase generation (e.g., xkcd passphrases, "correct battery horse staple".

Finally: thank you for setting this up.
biased self promo - foc.us/eeg
I'm not missing this, and in fact it ties right in to my core point. Wages are due to an equilibrium. The supply side of that equilibrium is dependent on how much the workers need the money. Any individual has a rough idea of how long they can comfortably go without income ("runway"). While this is modulated with how in-demand their industry is (especially apparent today in our hollowed-out hand-to-mouth society), the core of their power is how much of a buffer they have saved.

If a person has no runway, they are forced to be constantly worried about losing their current job, whereas if they have a large enough runway they have the ability to quit on the spot and worry about their next job later. This power relation effects every single negotiation, from salary to benefits to day-to-day working conditions.

Thus my assertion is that the real problem is that people have no savings. This gives them no economic power, and thus terrible negotiating power. This is due to an economic policy that prevents savings by the lower classes, especially liquid savings, and turns their life's accounting into one of debt and monthly rents. This further destroys their negotiating power (they don't have $0 to their name, but actually -$10k), and channels any of their surplus upwards to the parasitic banking industry through monetary rent.

> it simply depreciates the idea the the economy is based entirely on wage slavery.

Sure it gets rid of that specific slavery, but it does not get rid of the wage nor the reliance on it. The real mass frustration is due to a lack of opportunity and self-determination, for which signing up for low-paperwork welfare will increase. Reliance on the continued existence of a government program is going to make many people (rightfully) uneasy, because...

> If it has strings, it isn't BI.

This is like saying that we've never achieved true capitalism or true communism. In the real world, individuals have their own incentives. The incentives of politicians and "news" media is to play on people's prejudices to divide them into groups so they can be led, creating power for the leaders.

Even if we were to start off with a perfect BI program on day 0, it is only a matter of time until some group demands preferential treatment for themselves, or protests what they see as preferential treatment for others. The subject of having kids is fertile ground for this - if BI is truly uniform, this means that having a kid gets you immediately double the BI, and if it only starts at 18 that means you now have more to support. Either way (or even with a "ramp" compromise), this is but one of the clear contention points that will be endlessly politicized.
Well, it's hard to judge the algorithm. Some numbers are decent, if you are given "lead with lots of experience".

1) It's hard to tell how they assign rank. If they accept any programmer that shows up, the rates are fine. If they have Google level interviews to filter for only Google level candidates, who will join at "junior" level, it's terrible.

2) The numbers are in dollars, thus they are utterly meaningless. It's not a job, it's gambling with the exchange rate and the exchange fees.

You do realize that the employees have to do this. They spend hours and hours in training where they're told to always smile and greet guest. It's like strippers. The companies are taking money out of the pockets of crew by considering the gratuity included. Giving them cash is the only way to make sure they actually are rewarded for their hard work, but make sure to not do it in front of management. Actuaries are doing their best to pinch pennies, and many of those are coming from the pockets of these people.

Also worth noting: not every success story looks like 100M exits and millions of users. My market has about 4000 customers tops (or about 50 enterprise-level clients) and were a front-runner in the industry. It's never going to garner much in the way of investment but we feel pretty successful even so.
Even if your intended audience doesn't care about the why, you must necessarily provide justification so that another audience, which would want to make sure that you're not selling snake oil, could verify your why. Knowledge sharing only really works when there's a vetting process on some level.

Why I Quit Taking Notes and You Should Too
It's not some people. It's most people. Investigating claims rigorously is very difficult, even for highly skilled individuals. And it usually has very minimal direct impact on the mundane aspects of day-to-day to life. For many, there isn't an easy answer to the question: "Why should I bother, given everything else going on in my life?"

Honestly, it's pretty great how many people are willing to spend time and effort that doesn't directly benefit them (on a base material level) to care about this stuff.

It's also harder than one may think to do this well. You have be fairly skeptical 24/7, even of yourself and your own thoughts. I think that doing it halfway likely leads to lots of seemingly well-rationalized ideologies.

I like to think I'm getting better at being generally skeptical and slowly layering together a coherent, mutually supportive set of usefully accurate mental models of how the world works, but I find it very tough to know to what extent I'm fooling myself or not. One simple maxim I've found useful is to try to avoid allowing any idea from becoming "sacred" and above questioning. While not practical for daily life, I think it's a great fundamental background orientation for our thoughts and perception of the world.

My guess is it's because Google's security team is top notch and happy to share their threat intel with their users and that's much more relevant to journalists than using a non-US based service or one that avoids content based ad serving.

Working for a major tech company, just my wife and I on my plan and us being young with no health issues, I paid $500/mo last year. I switched to an HSA this year as I don't think we got our money's worth from the old plan, but you can certainly rack up quite a big insurance bill. The only time I've ever had it be under $100/mo is before I got married.

a) 5-6 years ago, devs loved them and were building all kinds of creative software on top of their platform. Twitter got too greedy and wanted to have it all and squashed that. Don't know if they can somehow get devs to trust them again, but that was an ideal situation for them IMO that they ruined.

b) Run Twitter like a business. Focus on making profit and piss off with the social justice warrior crap. Have a system in place to report abuse? Sure, that's great and necessary. But stop blocking random accounts just because of political correctness, throttling accounts, etc. All of the engineering and design effort Twitter places on this endless virtue signaling could be dropped and their workforce could shrink and they can actually try and make money. Run it like a business, because that's what it is.

Median tenure does not necessarily indicate retention issues for core roles at any company. It could simply be rapid growth or lots of roles that typically come with high turnover (e.g Amazon's warehouse employees).
While the circumstances of the original poster are different, this is a sentiment that I personally relate to. I have ties to the place I live in beyond my work and "cool tech. people".

"I'm sure all the major papers are solid choices. "

The problem is that they aren't. Without even getting into operation mockingbird style infiltration of the orgs, the state of journalism as a whole is abysmal, even on the previously well respected journals, and I get this from journalists themselves, at least the ones with integrity.

Honestly right now my method is to simply find the best journalists and writers, and then follow their work regardless of outlet or publisher, and then I smatter in main-stream-media so I understand what the Fox/CNN viewers and WSJ/HuffPo readers, and NPR/BBC listeners are thinking.

In the end though, the problem is all of them are so tied to the money they get from advertising and very subtle but real and powerful editorial influence from the owners/investors/advertisers, that even the ones people have learned to think they trust, like NPR for example, are shining examples of propaganda disguised as anything but, equivalents of Fox news. The oligarchy has infiltrated our mediums of communication because they are a threat.

The internet is the latest version of that threat, which is why we will continue to see attacks on the freedom of speech of the internet as well.

Major shoutouts to the outliers in this equation though who are briding the gap between traditional broadcasting and the itnernet, such as CSPAN, PBS, Charlie Rose, and the universities doing programs such as Conversations with History (UCTV) and Hoover Institute, et al.

PS: WaPo has gone way downhill in their journalistic integrity lately, I expect they are a major mockingbird pivot point. The best traditional source of news I have found? London Financial Times.

"Depressingly, the study also found that very few personal attacks are moderated. Only 17.9% of personal attacks lead to a warning or ban." I'm not sure, but it seems like 17.9% is probably close to the right rate for moderation, not "depressing" or "abysmal". Especially if there are calm comments from experienced users disapproving of the abusive behavior in many of the other cases.
