Even the "non-penny" papers always followed their own policies. There was always bias and assumed "truths" that weren't. As an example, "big" media supported the "weapons of mass destruction exist in Iraq and are the good reason for war" story.

Some years before, Osama bin Laden was still "a good guy" of the media, presented as a former "anti-Soviet warrior" and a "Saudi businessman":

Then consider the support for the "moderate rebels" in Syria now.

If you want something almost 200 years old, Britain presented their wars in support of their opium traders(!) to China, after China forbade the opium trade, as the "enforcing" of "free trade." That's how Britain got Hong Kong.

There seems to be a conflict in the article. The writer questioned Uber's need to pay less in real dollars and more in funny money, but is happy to stick to Lyft "even if it costs me a few extra dollars".

I understand if one company is a better culture fit than another, but if the motivation is to make more money, then wouldn't it be better to work for someone who will actually pay more money?
Works has stalled on Pyjion and there's not a lot of contributors or money behind it at all. Don't let the hype get to you. As it was fairly obvious with Pyston, PyPy is still where it's going to be at.

This is what I love about PVS studio, it actually catches real life bugs like this one. They may look simple when shown in the spotlight but they do happen and can easily go unavoided. Instead of most other analyzers(or maybe I should call them linters) that only complain when you do something that obviously depends on UB like casting a pointer to an int, or missing paranthesis vs operator precedence.
"I was planning to tip him well, but couldn’t find the tip option like the one I’ve seen in the Lyft app. I felt kind of bad that I was not able to tip the guy after asking all those personal question, but I shrugged it off and proceeded to hurry up to my interview."

Thank god there isn't tipping on Uber. I hate nothing more than the American insane tipping culture. It's the responsibility of the company to pay employees enough salary and it's employees responsibility to know what kind of contracts they sign.

Making customers feel bad or guilty about not paying a tip is not the way to go.
Do you have an example what would you ask on an interview ? I am just curious.

There is a corollary of this which is underappreciated as well: your employer (the whole company, not just HR) is not your friend. No matter how friendly or helpful they seem, their job is not to protect you. It's to protect themselves.
My favorite story about DRM is how even Netflix's CEO would rather not use DRM but basically less than 1% of the users care about DRM while it's a requirements when signing contracts with movies producers.

Think of it as a slightly less insulting form of FizzBuzz.

I regularily used a similar exercise to weed out bad candidates. The task was to build a stack with based on a double linked. Looking up stuff was okay, but straight copy paste was not. I gave them half a day and told them to write the best code they can.

There where many discussions how that exercise is relevant to the junior PHP dev position we were hiring for (spoiler: it's not). But it gives you a good idea what the candidate considers good code (consistent code style, documentation, tests,...)
People complain a lot about basic CS assignments in interviews. Just thinking out loud: it's an important skill to be able to put together libraries and existing code to get a working product. But a lot of software is crap, and I think often one of the contributing factors is a lack of knowledge about data structures, design patterns, algorithms... in other words, the stuff that a CS education might actually teach you about. You can't look something up if you don't know enough to look for it (and to understand the answer) in the first place. So the "irrelevant" basic CS problem interview questions might be a way to check not only if you can build a product, but if you can do it well?
It's not about patents. It's about closed source blobs. Sure you can write an open source DRM module but good luck getting Netflix to support that.

> As a precaution, the German Air Force deployed its aircraft to ensure the safety of the flight and its guests.

Does anyone still believe this bullshit? Clearly there's nothing that the fighter jets could do to ensure the safety of the flight/passengers - the most they could do is to shoot the plane down in a safe area to avoid casualties on the ground, if it were e.g. controlled by terrorists.

And the media/institutions wonder why people don't trust them...
I disagree: even with purely factual information, neither lie nor rumour, it is possible to create a biased impression by leaving out related information.

Purely as an example, "The current US President ordered his troops to fire on American citizens" may sound outrageous, but make sense when enarged to "American citizens who have joined the Army, as part of a live-fire excercise in Texas". (I'm not familiar with how live fire excersises work, this may be a bad example, but I think it still illustrates the point even as a straw man — the point is only that withheld information can radically change the ethics of even true statements).
Your comment pretty much sums up the prevailing misogynist attitude that gives rise to the kind of workplace culture Susan Fowler is describing.

> if that didn't help, I might contact her husband as a retaliation

I honestly can't believe you wrote that. If it was an exact replica of the scenario with the genders reversed, the husband probably wouldn't mind anyway (well, maybe would be bothered by the inappropriateness of it, but open relationships are open relationships and you can't assume the husband would think that it was a bad thing because you don't know what his idea of relationship ethics is), but your response to workplace harrassment would be to harrass their spouse instead? Not to go through HR? On a purely practical level, can you imagine working on that person's team after you'd done something like that?

> Is it a female-thing to take these sort of situations so seriously, or maybe a personality trait?

Okay. Imagine that you turn up somewhere to work. You've got your tech skills and your experience and you're all ready to go. Then your manager's initial interactions with you makes it quite clear that she views you as a prospective sexual partner. She's not got to know you first, you've not had time to demonstrate your professional capabilities to her, she's just propositioning you out of the blue. Would you really not find this problematic?

Please bear in mind, being female in US and British culture can be pretty unpleasant at times, with a continued attitude held by a lot of men that it's perfectly okay to proposition strangers in the street in loud voices, or shout suggestive comments at them, or demand "just a smile, love" or a conversation like it's their right to have a conversation with you, or that you _owe_ them a conversation. Imagine you're a woman in the tech industry, where women are chronically under-represented.

For you or me, as men, we might find such an incident as this slightly novel and interesting. If we've spent our _entire lives_ dealing with unwanted and unsolicited sexual advances and comments and innuendo, with media representations of our gender as little more than objects of male desire, and then we get such comments, can't you imagine that we might just feel a _little bit fed up_?

FTR I'm a gay white cisgender male living in England, so I'm still doing this on 'easy mode'. I've encountered almost zero homophobic behaviour in the workplace, for which I'm very grateful. But I've also always worked in companies which made explicit statements about supporting equality and diversity, and in a country in which it was made illegal before I started my professional life to discriminate on the grounds of sexuality. I've not had to test that legislation, but at least it is there, and we also don't have at-will employment.

Presume that life only exists for a finite amount of time, and let the universe exist for a long time, and the odds of life existing simultaneously go down.

You can probably manipulate the odds by changing both life-time and life-probability to be anything you want. Add restrictions of life being able to interact causally (i.e. they coexist long enough for a light round-trip) and things get even harder. Then consider how long it takes for life to be capable of interstellar communication and things probably get even more tighter.

To get even closer to foolproof, presume a correlation between sufficient technology for interstellar communication and sufficient technology for self-caused extinction-events (nuclear, climate or otherwise).

So, there is a very big difference between 'did other life ever exist?', 'does other life exist right now?', 'will we ever have any kind of interaction with other life?' and, 'will we ever meaningfully communicate with other life?'

Yep.

I support the leaks. I think that leaking is often a principled action and that far from being a sign of compromised institutions, it arguably is an institution -- the ultimate institution is individual judgment of conscience about things that are in the public interest, including relevant knowledge about the actions of those in office.

But I think detail and documentation serves the conversation better.

Mitigating factor -- sometimes detail gives away the source. It's not a perfect world.
I don't know where you live but I know some Western European countries where tipping in the way you described it is quite normal.

I don't have the reference at hand at the moment but at work we have a microwave that has one wheel to select wattage and one wheel to select duration (30 secs increment).

At home I have a monster with two different alarm settings, not wattage bug a 10 grade scale, a keypad but the only way to set up time is through the plus and minus button, etc.
This device was one of the worst for me. A former girlfriend of mine got one of those for Christmas from her dad.

First problem - we didn't had any Mac or Windows at home. So no iTunes. But that's an iPod problem in general. Her dad didn't know this / didn't think of it.

I've tried to use the device - but it was unusable for everything we wanted to use it. She didn't like it for music - too little space (1GB), no full albums, just a Playlist (which was pretty hard to update if you don't use iTunes). Listening to music didn't work for me too (I like listening to whole albums). So I've tried to listen to Podcasts (30 minutes to 1 hour) with it. Didn't know where in the podcast I am, fast forward for 15 minutes was cumbersome.

Didn't work for me at all. It was small, it was robust, but it didn't fit any of our requirements.

Mathematical Notation in Emacs
Hi, Sychophant. First, could you please re-read the original blog post[1] very carefully. I do not feel that you read it carefully the first time.

Second, can you please explain this sentence: "I was then told that I had to make a choice: (i) I could either go and find another team and then never have to interact with this man again, or (ii) I could stay on the team, but I would have to understand that he would most likely give me a poor performance review when review time came around, and there was nothing they could do about that."

-> Please explain, in your own words, why HR said the manager would likely give Fowler a poor performance review?

(Alternatively, I am also open to your replying that upon reflection you have realized that you did not read the post carefully enough, and that your original point was completely wrong and that this is tantamount to the manager saying "Have sex with me or I will fire you." Also even if you don't go that far, for the record, please agree that saying "have sex with me or I will fire you" to a direct report is wrong. If you don't see anything wrong with saying that, either, then we will have to get down to basics.)

Finally, the name you have chosen here (sycophant) means "a person who acts obsequiously towards someone important in order to gain advantage", so please declare that you have no conflict of interest (or declare/disclose your conflict of interest, such as if you are an Uber manager or employee yourself, or have any other relationship with Uber, which you should disclose.)

In any case, do take the time to reply. Thank you.

What could the fighter jets possibly do to "save" the passengers in such a situation?
The idea about microservices is that they are small and self-contained. This makes them easy to rewrite completely. Now I wouldn't say it is the goal to rewrite them all the time, but it is not a bad sign if some of them get rewritten occasionally. Microservices are somewhat new and a lot of architecture and infrastructure is being built around it. Companies like Netflix and Uber take the lead in this. Susan Fowler wrote a book about this during her time at Uber, you can find it here:

A Systematic Map to DevOps Success
Yes, I'm glad that on top of the cultural problems of Uber, at least they don't support tipping culture.

I use Lyft when I have the choice now, but the tipping makes me uncomfortable. Tipping is why taxis drive past people of the wrong skin color. Tipping is why the most important thing in restaurant service is to be sexually attractive to your customers. Lyft does not entirely have the moral high ground, because it supports tipping.

Just pay your employees the money they earned and charge me the correct amount for it.

How Many of You Know These Undiscovered Kindle’s Features?
I think some of the stuff in this story reminds me of the crazy MBA interview shit someone was telling me about going through just recently.

For example, Amazon had a "bar raiser" who'd be somewhat intentionally offputting and as part of the interview they gauged your response to this person's mannerisms. Same with the frequent and seemingly chaotic interview situation. Two different "tactics" meant to determine how you handle unexpected situations.

"The Interview" is such terrible black magic, there's simply no way these techniques provide reliable predictivity towards someone's success in their job. I would love to hear about specific metrics regarding expected vs. actual success, and while I know it'd be impossible to know how someone would have done had you hired them, you can at least know how well someone did who you did hire, based on your expectations. Like, if someone scores "well" on the "Is it cool if I take my shoes off during this?" stress test, does that actually make them more likely to be a good employee?

I currently believe no one in HR knows the answer to that question, though the assumption is largely, "Yes."
Also FM/AM reception feels like it's more robust than DAB/LTE/3g reception - often I can still listen to FM/AM in areas where other wireless tech black out.
No. This scenario has nothing to do with ambiguous definitions. The ambiguity in the definition of sexual harassment does not leave any possibility for what this guy allegedly did. This is a case of someone flagrantly disregarding acceptable standards for workplace behavior, despite having previously gotten in trouble for the same behavior. You can't say "the line is blurry!" when you're five timezones away from the line, and you've been repeatedly told that you're on the wrong side of it.

It really sounds like you're trying to fit this case to an agenda that's important to you, and you're working against your own interests by doing that. Bringing up ambiguous definitions in the context of a clear cut case discredits the idea that ambiguity is a problem. You'd be better off just accepting that this case is blatant, and saving the arguments about ambiguous definitions for a time when they're actually relevant.

„...paid what was asked for...“

A barber/hairdresser will get paid minimum-wage over here in Germany. From friends who worked in this profession I know that they make even less at the end of the day, roughly 5€ per hour. Only because you get paid market-rate doesn't mean you can make a living.

Whenever I ask myself if I would be happy to receive a tip being in the same situation I tip: restaurant, package delivery...everywhere.

Nothing specific to the US.
I just came from a different thread on HN, where highly compensated software developers were afraid to even point out to their managers that what they were suggesting was a bad idea for the company. People literally fearing for their jobs, because they want to do their jobs well and not just blindly follow orders that will be costly to their employer.

So you can imagine how many multiples of that it is when you're trying to rock the boat on harassment.
Hmm. If people would think it was annoying to println!("{}", &s) they wouldnt use rust in the first place because you have to do that everywhere else for plain functions.
