It's to do with diet. IIRC, some farmers feed their flock flax in order to get more orange yolks. But free range hens that have access to insects tend to have a nicer flavour in my experience. Generally speaking, an egg with a hard shell and a very bright yolk will be nicer and that tends to correspond with free range hens. But, climate where you live will influence how realistic that is.

Depends who you ask. Some people understand the risks of junk food but still want it (same as with alcohol and tobacco). Junk food also tends to be cheaper per calorie.

Actually I lied Im a lawyer and have represented many class action lawsuits over my 50 years of experience and my assumption is that you are as well. Happy now?... Look, its very accessible to contact a lawyer and be professionally consulted about your legal options especially for someone who is compensated at the level of an engineer. Personally if I experienced the things exclaimed here Id be tossing in bed thinking about how to sue my employer. I agree that its personally challenging to pursue legal action... but I think supporting and encouraging people who may deserve legal retribution is responsible.
It is unbelievable because anyone with a brain bigger than a pea would realize that emailing (leaving actual records) of something so inappropriate would lead to terrible consequences, especially when sent to a female since females have much higher PR damage capability and media sympathy than males.

There is the underlying threat at the majority of tech companies that any small comment (see donglegate) that even weakly references a female could decimate your reputation.

The cost is huge for any rational actor and there is the assumption that one has to be a rational actor in order to be hired at top companies.

> HR within companies has never done anything for me when I approached them....

The thing you need to keep in mind about HR is this: they aren't there to help you, to have your back. They're there to protect the company from you. Incidental to that, they've traditionally managed the benefits the company is either required or chooses to give you, and acts as a place for you to take concerns such as sexual harassment. But even in those cases, their duty is to the company, not to any individual employee.
Also not enforceable.
HR fucked up and the manager should not have talked to her that way. Absolutely agree. I believe she has grounds to sue if she wishes.

Now, I think it's easy to take this type of situations and overeact. The behavior Susan described is not appropriate. That said, I think there is a trend to classify any romantic behavior or advances as sexual assault and innpapropriate behavior. Nowadays I would have a very hard time asking a girl out at work. Is it really that crazy that you might meet a girl/guy you might want to date at work?

I have had 2 girls ask me out at work in the past 3 years. Both times I just wasn't interested and politely declined. No big deal. I have also had girls approach me in professional settings such as conferences and ask me for my number and invite me for drinks. Come on people, we are human, we are attracted to each other and it's ok to approach other people as long as we are respectful and have some common sense. Let's not pretend we are robots.

I think the pendulum is swinging too much to the other side at the moment. It's easy to just generalyze and overeact. The opinion I just expressed would be considered very controversial nowadays and I would not dare to utter it in my office. People overeacted to drugs in the 80s and initiated a "drug war" that resulted in 1000s of people to be incarcerated for no good reason and billions of dollars wasted. Let's try to learn something from the past.
A number of comparative studies were performed during the primaries regarding the electibility of various candidates against their counterparts on the other side. Sanders performed very well against Trump on those metrics.

There are a number of people advancing the 'we have no evidence' banner in this thread, which is strange because studies of electibility were commonly discussed here during the primaries.
Where does one draw the line? Hard drugs?
Wow I just had a thought. Imagine if the WTO had been around when countries started banning the sale of Tetraethyllead.

The TEL industry fought very hard against such action first by attacking the science, then fighting in courts and political arenas. Imagine if they had access to a super-national court explicitly created as a way for large corporations to punish governments for creating laws that are bad for their business?
> the perception that they broke the recent anti-Trump taxi strike

Something, it's worth noting, no less true of Lyft. And I think it's a little weird to be demanding owners of infrastructure lock out workers "in support of a strike". That whole reaction was absurd.

This article gives me substantially more pause.
I've noticed this. But tempting as it is to #DeleteUber, am I not mostly just hurting local taxi drivers who keep 75% of the revenue?
A quick question item 13 (table-style formatting): the author proposes something like this:

static bool IsInterestingError(int errno) { ... }
...
if (!IsInterestingError(errno)) { ... }

Can you do that in a single file – assuming the latter errno is the one defined in errno.h (or cerrno). I was of the impression that errno may also be a macro, so could you say it's a good recommendation to have it as an argument's name – or in general even to reuse the name anywhere?

I agree that the option (of passing the helper function no arguments at all) is not perfect either, but... (I also don't like that you need to call your stored errno's errnums or the like, but that's what we have.)
The entire second half of the comment you've replied to addresses this approach at great length.
As someone that has dabbled in Android development, I have to say that Xcode is light years ahead of its competitors re: developer friendliness. It's realistic from a complete novice to setup their environment and create a full app in a few hours. Just getting your environment setup for Android can take a whole day or more.

I'm surprised by how few of these comments actually touch on the suggestions in this letter. Overall, they seem like small improvements that won't really move the needle on Xcode's effectiveness... Breaking up targets to make 15sec compilation times to <1sec would be nice though

Things I do with every project:
-Don't use the interface builder, easier to do all UI work programmatically
- Use Pods
That's an excellent proverb, and the way things are going in my neck of the woods, I feel like I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of it.
Thanks. I tried to avoid getting too specific since I knew Australian law would be different, i.e. in the US the normal form of protection would be an LLC or an S-corp (tax pass through closely held entity) and a consulting firm in the US would very rarely be a C-corp (taxable income at both corporate and individual levels).

What employment means is also different. A person consulting to a consulting company that consults to a bank would have no employment relationship with either the bank or its direct consultant. The person might have an employment relationship with their own company that was contracted to the bank's direct consultant.

All of which ought to be governed by contracts...which I failed to mention, but I'd not be surprised it they were in play here.
Without a fair equity package, none of those employees are going to get any kind of payout from an exit. And given the number of fundraising rounds Uber has undergone: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/uber/funding-rounds and their difficulty in actually turning a profit: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/uber-lose... it seems a little questionable that anyone from the rank-and-file is going to get rich at Uber.

A union is what gives you the ability confront management about these kinds of things.
Why can't that be an option on laptops? I'd take that trade off.
Ehh, when my previous workplace was voting to unionize I wasn't able to vote because I was a remote worker, and didn't have the disposable income to fly in and vote... being disenfranchised is a drag.
ditto. Came here to say the same. Excellent posts.
SpaceX has 5000 employees and they design, build, launch, and LAND rockets.
This is a really interesting observation and something I think doesn't factor into most people's calculus of company culture and execution.

I worked an early employee at a YC startup that was developing a hardware device and I think really ran into similar issues.

There were significant delays with shipping the device which meant that all the teams which had been built up to support its launch had _nothing_ to do for months. People in a "Customer Success" department with no customers. Developer evangelists with nothing to evangelize. Support departments twiddling their thumbs and the worst was the sales and marketing groups which devolved into a Lord of the Flies type environment where they tried latching onto any and every project they could just to justify their existence.

Timing really is everything.
In fact many current industries engage in illegal activities. Most often cartel behavior and price fixing.

Generally this behavior is not curbed already because it's hard to prove price fixing without having concrete information about the communication. Technically you don't need to have communication, but it's hard.

Sometimes all you need is one new vendor to enter the market place and not play by the old rules.
That was more true when it was introduced, and I think the taxation did succeed in slowing the mass adoption of cars in Denmark compared to in some other countries. But once Denmark got rich enough, much of the population bought cars anyway (now around 50%). It's a luxury, sure, but in a rich country, many people buy luxuries, even when there's a luxury tax. I think the tax mostly delayed the mass proliferation of cars to the 80s/90s, instead of the 60s/70s. And it may have also encouraged cheaper cars than would otherwise have been bought, since buying a $20k pre-tax instead of a $30k pre-tax car saves you $25k, not $10k.

Nowadays car ownership is popular enough that I'm not sure you could successfully introduce such a tax if people were not already used to it existing, and used to current new-car prices. When it was introduced, cars were seen as a rarer luxury than they are now, so a luxury tax was not too unpopular, and many people were also swayed by arguments that they had a significant negative social impact, on things like pollution and traffic and injuries, that should be paid for by taxing them [1]. But since it exists, if you cut it, you have to either raise some other tax, or cut some spending program, to account for the revenue; and you probably also have to build more roads and parking to account for the extra cars. That kind of change isn't so popular, and cars (especially new cars) are still culturally seen as not quite a necessity, so keeping the not-that-loved new-car tax remains less bad politically than the alternatives. Though it being lowered from 180% to 150% is a sign that consensus around it is not as strong as it once was, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more incremental cuts in the future.

[1] E.g. one 2009 analysis found that, even accounting for all the taxes, cars still have a 15% negative impact (costing society $1.15 for each $1.00 paid by car owners): http://www.copenhagenize.com/2012/10/danish-180-tax-on-cars-...
> I don't think I'd have seen the same blowback from an identically-acting male leader.

Let's take a step back and remove gender from the discussion.

My experience working with senior leadership has been to get results you end up stepping on toes. As such you get called all sorts of things.

It's also my experience that the way a person acts towards their boss is different from the way they act with their peers which again is different than the way they act towards their subordinates.

With this in mind are you sure it had anything to do with sexism?
Lawsuits cost enormous amounts of time and effort. A rich company has way more of both than you do.
Some Remarks on the Legacy of Madame Francine Descartes
Singapore, Korea, Japan and Thailand are as comfortable and air-conditioned as any, have access to similar motorcycles, cars, television sets and computers as others, and yet enjoy some of the lowest obesity rates in the world.

There are developed countries (with relaxed lifestyles) at the top of the obesity ratings, there are developed countries (with relaxed lifestyles) at the bottom of the obesity ratings, lifestyle change does not seem to correlate very heavily.
> Then how come most grocery stores have healthy food?

All over America there are many areas known as "food deserts" because stores do not stock fresh foods and produce. In those areas the only food readily available is shelf-stable, highly processed, very high caloric density junk food.

Now think about being on a Pacific island where leaving your food desert is not just a matter of a long drive or bus ride down the road to a different community.
I am overwhelmingly likely to save more on car services in the next 10 years than I am to pay in increased local taxes, leaving Uber/Lyft a net economic positive for me, even after considering that most of my Uber rides are expense-able to my company.

Uber is proving that car service is not a natural monopoly. If the dominant provider is taking too many liberties with pricing, someone else will come in to right the market.

I didn't intend to start a massive defense of Uber subthread, but to say there's no single thing positive about Uber I thought was a substantial overstatement.
I would use the consulting company's open door policy and go up the chain... right to the country lead partner and mention this to them in writing. Believe it or not ethics is extremely important to consulting companies as trust and future work depends on this - and bring up any fears of being dismissed for bringing this up to their attention.

Did you read the whole article? It sounds like you're only reacting to the first incident.

And yes, anyone in your management chain making moves on you is 100% inappropriate. There's a power relationship there. Most companies have explicit guidelines about things like this.

Methane doesn't stay in the atmosphere nearly as long which means that, in theory, it would cause some short term warming, but then the methane would break down and we would slowly return to more normal levels. There are alot of unknowns, and while a very worst case scenario involves runaway methane causing warming, we don't know how likely this is to happen. We do know that CO2 takes hundreds of years to dissipate and will cause the ice caps to melt which will lead to higher sea levels overall.
Well, I thought the same, then thought better of the kneejerk reaction and instead decided to learn something new today.

And Google tells me that yes, even in cases of rape, courts have found them enforceable.
Not if you use Lyft.
It doesn't help that there are little healthy options in local schools. Most schools have a single privatised canteen that offers a lunch option (typically chicken curry and rice or chicken chow mein) with the rest being soda drinks, chocolate bars or salty chips. I don't remember apples or bananas being an option unless you brought it from home. But you don't want to be the kid eating a banana when everyone around you is guzzling RC Cola (the supposedly healthier alternative to Coca Cola).

Pacific Islanders like to eat. I think it's ingrained in their culture. Before you call me out and ask for a citation, let me just say this is based on my experience as a Fiji Islander. But maybe there's no problem with eating a lot, if what you eat is healthy. So instead of reaching for the local produce, the cheaper and more attractive "Western" product wins out. Plus, it's just a tad more cheaper.

P.S. It's very easy to buy Singles or Loosies (sp?) in Fiji.
Existing tax systems burden labour more heavily, than capital. This is because capital can flee easily, but labour cannot. A dollar doesn't have a spouse, kids, parents, siblings, a social circle, it doesn't need to learn a new language or culture - it can be moved with a speed of light at a very short notice indeed. Since deploying dollars is cheaper than deploying people from the tax prospective there is a strong economic incentive to replace people with capital at workplaces.

Since Bob's productivity will increase threefold and the demand is finite it is likely Rob, Bob's mate, is going to loose his job. Now the two of them are going to compete for a single job opening and Bob will be lucky (and thankful) to stay employed with no real leverage in his salary negotiations (Rob is unemployed, lost his house and now very eager to get that job too!)

The extra profit will go mostly to the robot owner with some to the robot's inventor (although once enough people are capable of building robots the inventor will have diminishing leverage too, unless he keeps coming up with better stuff).

Then the argument goes that Rob would then become a robot inventor or a capitalist instead of working the mundane job at the widget factory. Not going to happen. He is 53, he doesn't have the capacity required and he is not going to develop on at this stage. No one is going to bet her money on Rob becoming a millionare through invention or investment or even making a decent living ever again. Rob is sad. Whenever Bob talks to Rob he is scared to loose his job to more automation.

Its much older. Kirbys admin is the big difference.

In Grav admin you have problems when you start to have more than 30 pages. Because of its design it shows pages as flat structure. In kirby its more like folders. In grav you cant say this type of page can have only these type of children. Basicaly you have to remember which page type belongs to this page.

Kirby comunoty plugins are awesome kirby-modular for exp.

Kirby also has permissions in admin, so you can limit users what they can do.

Its also way easier i think while achieving more. There is clear path of how things work and Grav is somehow overengineered idk why i would my simple cms to compile stylus or js... it uses twig which is fine but i found it to be wrong choice because in cmses like this you are traversing trough the pages (pages are your db). Twig is not meant to do that its for showing already queried stuff from db. So they are basicaly recreating more and more php in twig so you can actualy get the data.
Why is this getting down voted? Am I missing something in bootload's post? Seems pretty reasonable to me. Don't get me wrong, I like to drink, but drinking and programming don't mix well for me at least. I need my brain cells working, not partying, when I'm trying to write code. Maybe that's my age showing.
Sadly, this is par for the course for many women in tech and finance fields, and America in general right now. Look no further than our president for evidence of tacit approval of this behavior.

I learned how to "bro" at a young age as I went to an all boys super preppy high school. Even though I'm a minority, I'm one of the "good ones" <sic>, so they feel comoftable not speaking in pc terms to me. The things I've heard are so disturbing and disgusting that ....

Why should I even continue this sentence when we have a tremendous defender of women's rights in the White House. There is no greater advocate of gender equality than the President. He's the least sexist person I've ever met and the best deal maker on advancing the cause, without parallel.
There are some weird price anomalies at other price points as well for hourly. In my previous posts Lightsail ended up being a fraction of a cent more than the others.

As for the 1GB vs 1000MB, I assume it's as another poster mentioned, 1024 vs 1000.

For things like the overview, I pull that stuff from the hosting companies pricing pages. I assume each company has good reasons for why they price and word things they way they do.

Yes. Culture is CEO's responsibility. Period.
You don't track hours worked? Do you have more or less fixed working hours? Otherwise how do you stop people staying a long time to impress the boss?
As an individualist, I believe competent adults should be allowed to draw their own line. But if I had to compromise, hard drugs does seem like a more reasonable line.
I've not played much with extending it past writing a couple of hooks. It has a decent enough hook system. What would you like to try and replicate in it?

I'm reacting to some of the conversation going on here (very much a torch and picthfork crowd for some threads).
In all of the filebased cmses the admin and the core are separate. Core renders stuff from files. Admin is just for creating/editing filest. They dont know about each other.

This is true for both Grav and Kirby
Player's associations aren't companies, they're unions. They do union things in the unioniest way and do a pretty alright job.
We have a pro-drinking culture at my company due to the nature of the business and I haven't found that it's causing any problems. It's generally done outside of work or for specific events, and I've never felt unsafe on any gathering where a lot of drinking was going on.

This is a red herring, if anything.

I think there's a difference between a culture where people drink a lot vs a culture where people get black out drunk and irresponsible with it, though, and maybe Uber is more like the latter.
