Focusing on quarterly goals or the like just glosses over this as an issue. It is important that men be willing to say "that isn't how we talk around here" or "man, that is a pretty crude thing to say to someone in a professional environment." If you have the power, comments like that should be met with "you're fired" because honestly, if someone in my workplace can't maintain some sense of decorum around women, how should I expect him (in this case, always a him) to behave around clients, investors, etc.

This is not something around which to dance lightly. It is far too common, and it only takes a few people willing to stand up and say that this isn't acceptable to break the norms of a bunch of guys just laughing along while a few say crude things.

Since the author quotes prices in GBP, I'd say to everyone - skip the Apple Care! In UK consumer electronics state-enforced-warranty (or whatever these particular consumer rights are called) is 6 years. That's not a typo, it is 6 years and I've used it twice for my Apple gear that was outside of manufacturer's warranty and without Apple Care. Save yourself £329 and know your rights. And dont get my word on it, check it out yourself, it's even on Apple web pages ;)

You can colorise your own photos by using this web form on Algorithmia: http://demos.algorithmia.com/colorize-photos/

In my experience most colorisation looks very smudgy, does not "colour in between the lines", and generally seems to make things look sepia with low contrast - however I'd like to see this problem investigated more to see how good it can get - perhaps we could end up doing similar things for astral objects?

In my mind, one of the most critical factors to make a memory palace work is essentially hijacking your very skilled spatial memory, and heavy expertise in some spatial location (e.g. your home). This allows you to use that location as a contextual cue to reinstate memories.

Without tapping in to existing spatial locations (or structured things you are very familiar with) I'm not sure it will have much punch.
Or just do it with open code & hardware on an ASIC whose process node is verifiable by eye with a microscope against a reference image after samples of it are decapped.

Serious question (I've been exactly the guy that planteen described -- wrangling code into submission for multiple static analysis tools and compilers, for warnings, MISRA compliance, etc.)

So my question: do you remember what tool would complain about such a construct (e.g. casting return value of printf() to void)? Reason I ask is because printf() returns a value; the cast to void is explicitly and deliberately -- right or wrong -- saying, "It's OK, I got this. I am choosing to ignore it." So a static analysis tool complaining about such a construct strikes me as a bit odd.

I really hate to defend a CEO with a devil's advocate response, as I generally say only bad things about executives, but I feel I must here, but note that I really know nothing about Uber's corporate culture or very much about the facts in this case. What I do know, from my work at some corporations, is that the people in the executive suite can frequently be very isolated from what's going on below them. So if the misogyny was kept at the lower levels, I think it's quite possible the CEO just didn't know. I've also noticed that, frequently, HR departments act like they're the ones running the company, and don't actually tell the execs what they're doing, so it's quite possible too that the HR goons were in on it, but since they have Napoleon complexes and liked to act like they're really in charge, they didn't tell the CEO anything.

So while I have little love for CEOs, I have far less love for HR directors, and if this ends up getting blamed on the HR people and their whole department is sacked, I'll by laughing my ass off. It's ridiculous how many horror stories I've heard about insane HR directors.

Software products can have a surprisingly long life. (Which can also mean a surprisingly long time of providing customer support, too.)
Uber undoubtedly previously had a code of conduct that states this behavior is unacceptable but oh, look; here we are.

Changing a couple words in the policy doc? Not good enough.

If Uber actually wants to change, then heads need to roll. By which I mean fire a bunch of people and take away their options. A manager or three for inappropriate behavior; a bunch of people in HR, either for hushing up the problems in the first place ("Oh, this is the first time we're hearing about this." lol, really?) or for being incompetent at their job (specifically, opening them up to a huge lawsuit).

Whether Uber is willing to go that far is entirely up to them, just like it's up to me to determine if I'd even bother reinstalling the app.

If you read me as disagreeing with you or defending Holder, you're reading me wrong.

Why did you post your comment on HN? I believe it was that you believe Eric Holder is a criminal and want to let other people know. Who is your audience? If it's people who already agree with you, you haven't told them anything they don't already know.

If you're trying to reach people who aren't aware, you've given them nothing other than your angry words to make a decision. They're likely not inclined to look up any additional information based on your comment: there's plenty of angry posters on all variety of issues, and a lot learn to discount them given no additional evidence.

If you're trying to reach people who disagree with you, you've already picked a potentially adversarial audience already inclined to dismiss you.

As for why I posted my comment, is that I really want to see substantive, constructive discussions, and often see people include in their comments references to potentially receiving downvotes, and perceive them as due to the content, rather than the the presentation. On contentious issues in particular, presentation is so important to productive discussion.
>This indicates a broken culture not just for the company, but for Silicon Valley and the industry as a whole.

Well, we've been hearing about "brogrammers" now for quite some time. There definitely seems to be a giant amount of misogyny among the under-35 programmer crowd, according to numerous sources and stories. So I don't think that this incident at Uber is unusual for the industry, sadly, but rather the work culture at SV companies is broken.

>It is likely that Uber employee demographics closely match Bay area. Are we to believe that for all the talk about liberalism, & progressiveness, when it comes to real action, SV employees will choose stock options instead?

I think your assumption is faulty. While there's certainly a lot of tech employees in the Bay Area, I think it's faulty to assume that the vast majority of the population of the Bay Area works as programmers (or in closely related fields). No economy can work that way. Yes, there's a lot of progressivism among the Bay Area population; I think it would be ridiculous to deny that. But I think it's apparent that SV programmers only give lip service to it, at best, and they're a small subset of the overall population there.

Ask HN: Leaving Big Company for Startup
First, thanks to anyone who reads this and gives their honest opinion. I know this audience includes some of the most experienced people out there in the startup and large company realm.

I am a Statistician/data scientist for a large energy company. I have my job down to where I have written programs to automate most tasks and my company allows me a lot of freedom and time off to do what I want. I am taking courses during the day at a top 30 university in computer science. I have done a lot at my job, but feel it is in a traditional space. I fear working in this traditional area may not get me where I want to go. My goal is to work as a data scientist for a top tech company, i.e. Google, Facebook.

I have a masters in statistics and my bachelors is in math and economics, however, most of the people I see at top companies in my field hold PhDs. So, while working at this company I have been taking the necessary courses to get into a computer science PhD program, specializing in machine learning.

A friend from grad school approached me and asked if I wanted to work as a data scientist at the startup he works for. I would have the chance to co-lead a data science team and really influence the company. I would get a raise and would have more responsibility, but would have to stop going to school. He works at a fintech company similar to Affirm (affirm.com); smaller than affirm but established (~100 employees).

What route do you think would further my goals, staying at the energy company and working towards a PhD, or taking going to the startup which offers more responsibility and the chance to really impact the company?

Thanks again for any honest opinions.

> smattering of pseudo-security

That's a good description of the state of my knowledge.

To answer your question: the Google account that my phone has access to doesn't have anything important, so I'm not worried about any related keys leaking. The TOTP secret would be for something more important, that the phone itself doesn't have access to.

In other words, I'm wondering whether a generic Android phone is safe to use as an over-sized hardware security token (or rather, as backup for a more convenient hardware token). It seems the answer is no.
Have you tried asking a few non-STEM folks (whom you don't already know) what they think of your attitude in the video? To me your attitude was very much the condescending "well, ACTUALLY, you're wrong because..." or "well, TECHNICALLY, I'm right because..." attitude that a lot of us nerds have at some point in our lives (been there). People who are successful learn how to convey the same thing without that attitude. It seems like you're just not realizing it and you're stubbornly refusing to believe others when they tell you you have attitude, despite the fact that it's hard for people to tell when they're acting like jerks. For your own sake, ask a few random people whom you don't know, and no, the people commenting on your video (including me) do not form an unbiased sample.
Agreed. Too many people confuse basic BI for data science.
Which is why I tend to support languages with stronger type safety, although I also enjoy C++ a lot.

Type systems are not optional and are the same regardless of the compiler, vendor, customer or willingness to use them.
From everything I read about it, Pao was hired (knowingly or not) as a scapegoat. Reddit had started to get a bad rap in the media due to certain sections of the community (eg. /r/fatpeoplehate, various racist subreddits) and had been told by investors that they had to clean up their image. So they hired Pao, had her make the changes (banning a few obnoxious subs, updating site code of conduct), and then fired her (without rolling back the changes) to appease the more vocal members of the community.

> There is a lot more going on there, and many more independent actors.

Quite true. I was only trying to make the point that the US/Russia conflict has had a significant impact on the middle east and strongly shaped US enthusiasm for invading Iraq when it had the chance. But there were certainly other reasons, though I don't think any of them were humanitarian.

Perhaps it's internal tooling/libraries? I wouldn't be surprised if derivatives of projects from back then were used in more recent games.
No, nonsense. Publishers keep everything, certainly the publishers I've worked for. Sierra is one of the oldies that, to my slightly out of date knowledge, still curates an archive of almost every asset for every game they've released. I'm certain the source for some of the earliest titles have been lost due to their hobbyist nature, but I've personally seen a raw list of the available archive that included games released from 1980 onward.
I've also been a Mac user for 20 years and can totally relate to the conclusion he made: I felt betrayed by Apple's pricing on this machine. I decided to not get a Mac for the first time since 1996 and so far haven't regretted the move.
The OP's comment was a politically charged statement that sterotyped all white males. This is the same argument that Trump uses to de-facto ban Muslims.

Can you elaborate? I'd be interested to hear more details, and I think others might be as well
Can we trust the Rorschach test?
I'm not clear on why coroutines or an explicit state machine are necessary to implement network protocols. We have been doing it for decades by writing straightforward imperative C code and for years by writing C++ template classes that are templated on the downstream type (CRTP). Both of these approaches result in near-zero overhead (computers are good at fetching and decoding consecutive instructions) or even negative apparent overhead (if the compiler sees caller and callee, inlining and dead code elimination can potentially eliminate lower-level protocol handling irrelevant to the higher-level protocol).

I would guess that transforming coroutine-based code into state machines hampers performance over the long term by scaring the programmer away from wanting to touch it. However, I would also guess that the direct cost of a coroutine context switch (save and restore all callee-save registers and stack pointer then indirect-jump somewhere unpredictable) outweighs the direct cost of a state machine transition (update some variable).

I do not want to pass judgment on the approach beyond saying that its attendant overhead is too high for some workloads.

Removing this last sentence from your comment would make it a lot stronger.
Your CDs with the playable binaries were "pressed" in a factory with industrial equipment. The source was stored on the hard drives of ancient workstations and/or file servers and maybe a non-archival CD-R or a Zip/Jaz drive. Either way, the physical media were lost in an office move or layoff 3+ reorganizations ago. Some ex-employee probably has a copy in their garage, but good luck finding them.
Ditch the garlic press and get a rocker [1], it's so much better. Instead of putting individual cloves in the compartment and pressing together, you just press the rocker onto every clove until you've collected everything. And instead of having to dig the remaining unpressed stuff out of the compartment, you just scrape them directly into the bin. Much easier to clean, too.

There are cheaper versions on Amazon, but I believe Joseph Joseph is the original design.

You do realize that Uber is heavily subsidized by their massive investments. Notably from the Saudi Arabians princes recently. They are literally burning other people's money in the hope that someday they'll get self driving cars and eat the world for lunch.

Gm/cruise/lyft is well on their way to make this a reality next year. Tesla has their eyes set on their own network. Future doesn't look good for Uber.

Sure you'll get cheap Uber rides now but their entire business model is not sustainable as it is.
True. Love everything physical about the car but the infotainment system has poor UI and bad latency.

I have seen that list of incidents that you shared (http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/rideshare-incidents). That list includes regular driving accidents too which could happen to anybody.

After seeing that website, I think the first few questions I had were: (i) During a given time period, how many rideshare trips were taken? (ii) How many rideshare riders were affected (killed, assaulted etc.)? (iii) During that same period, how many taxi trips were taken? (iv) How many taxi riders were affected?

That website only answers (ii), and not the rest of the three questions which makes the presented data meaningless (and also misleading, IMO).
I'm happy to hear it, then. Do they also keep copies of the toolchains needed to build all of them? What is their storage infrastructure like, and what do they do to ensure it survives employee turnover and corporate reorganization?
I tried using a really fast and expensive 128GB card as extended storage. They're pretty much unusable, slower than a fast USB3 stick, and less practical than a Samsung T1 SSD or something like that.

I don't mind the lack of an SD slot, but I won't buy another Macbook Pro until there's 32GB of memory. I have a late-2013 Haswell MBP with an OWC-upgraded SSD, and I prefer it over my work computer, a 32GB maxed-out Thinkpad running Linux... in pretty much every aspect.

My late mother was a executive secretary (old terms) in a corporate chemical engineering department [1].

She could type tables and such like a demon ... on a Royal manual typewriter, no less.

She also could knock out quite decent Gregg shorthand, and I took a stab at learning it from a textbook I picked up used somewhere.

I'd pick her brains for help when the book left me hanging. I achieved a decent proficiency for a moderate effort off-hours attempt at self-instruction.

It certainly required some patience and effort but I found it fairly natural and well conceived, elegant even. Someday maybe I'll pick it up again. In fifteen years it will seem like alchemy to the young'uns of the future.
