I think an honest reading of my comment would reveal that I was providing a range of actions that people can engage in that require some level of sacrifice in service of a collective goal. My point was that on this spectrum, switching six-figure software engineering jobs (for most people not in an emergency situation or supporting a family of 9 etc) is not very much to ask when it has the potential to shift the industry's attitude towards sexism and generally antisocial behavior by the companies that increasingly shape the lives of billions of people around the world. If someone is not willing to make a moderate sacrifice for that cause, then it seems reasonable to doubt they are really all that committed to it.

And you're correct, deleting my Uber account (as I've done) is not enough for me, because I am only one person and unless I work together with other people I do not have the resources necessary to cause Uber to change anything. It is only through collective action that an $xx,000,000,000 company can be forced to change anything, and that requires communication. I'm not telling other people what they should do to appease me, I'm asking other people to use their position of power to help those with less power, such as women who are software engineers and Uber drivers.
You have to take it in context of relative volatility. There are products where a 12% move wouldn't be notable. In this case, it's under a week old. This expected volatility is why market makers do not sell options on ipo issues for a little while.

These kinds of stories are like basing a climate change story on unseasonably warm weather.

Neither Russia nor PRC have any interest in DPRK developing their nuclear arsenal. DPRK is resource-constrained (to say the least), and that's not just about money.

How CRM integration can help an e-commerce store drive more sales
The focus is more on commercializing multi-stake-holder database replication, which is a more complicated problem than just "database" or "database replication", and is where Byzantine fault tolerant solutions apply. Hash-linked chain of blocks is just an optimization in that design space.
I saw that comment when it hit the original thread. I think commenters are conflating Project Zero with Google search cache in the usual version of this sentiment.

If I was Cloudflare, and someone had made me aware of this bug, I'd be griping as loudly as possible to get remaining caches cleared ASAP. It's all they really can do.

The fact that Bing had unlocated cached documents doesn't impact on Google search being quick or not to clear their own caches.

Did Cloudflare cause all this? Yes. Are they working in the interest of their customers to gripe at remaining cachers to refresh their caches? Also yes. Is there something else they could do now that we're here? I can't think of anything more effective.

Another interesting way to consider the gender issue is to imagine that Carly Fiorina (or perhaps Sarah Palin) and Bernie Sanders had faced off.

No we don't forget.

Those systems were analog and could only be scaled to a certain extent, after which you ran into management overhead.

So in the example given by the OP, dominoes would not be updating your name in the directory.

That would be data that evaporated and never made it to record.

To increase the contrast - whole new types of clustering and analysis are now possible, at the moment a new data point is received.
Show HN: TalentHunch – it's like Tinder for recruitment
As some with Aspergers, much of the middle part is true for me. I feel extreme discomfort in highly social situations. It's tough because being social doesn't come naturally ever, but it's more of constantly pushing myself to go out and then becoming exhausted easily from it.

I'm acutely aware of it, every single day.

Show HN: Sales Docs Grading Tool-Shows you how to create effective sales docs
I can't speak to whether it's self-righteous or not, but collective action is not possible if people can only ask others to do what they have also done. Everyone has different abilities and positions in society that enable them to take action in different ways. College students couldn't divest from South Africa during apartheid, but they pressured their colleges and other businesses to do so, and that feels perfectly reasonable to me.

Perhaps it's self-righteous to argue that nobody should help Palantir provide DHS with a Muslim registry under any circumstances, even if it means negative consequences for them and their family (and for most software engineers it really won't!). But that's what I believe, and I'd like to think it's the choice I would make in that situation, and I'd hope that my family and friends and strangers on the Internet would push me to acknowledge the moral choice I was facing and make the choice that helped others instead of maximizing my own narrow self-interest.

I have seen so many comments and references like this one, so I went and read the whole investigation report.

1. There was a spacecraft (MCO) and a module that was sending some data from the Earth.

2. The module was delivered late when MCO was on its way for 4 (!) months already before that staff manually calculated the needed data.

3. Some teams switched into "defensive mode" not willing to communicate and fixing the problem when it was clear.
The problem with uploading them somewhere is that you introduce an implicit dependency that must be documented and dealt with as part of the whole devops universe — it's just one more thing on top of a heap of other things.

It's much nicer, and more secure (in terms of locking down just one thing and not having to manage multiple to be able to centralize secrets somewhere. Whereas keeping things like this close the project is of course more convenient for developers.

Drone has tried two different systems, neither of which were ideal, and is working on a third one. I believe the third one also involves encrypted secrets committed to the project repo.
We're mostly doing ETL on large datasets, so the code needs to parallelize well, but beyond that performance isn't really a big concern. We use ML in research, but no models in production, because the costs of increased maintenance/lost transparency generally outweigh the benefits in our use case.

In jobs that were heavy on ML, I would use high-performance tools for the models (imperative code, numeric computing packages etc.) and functional code for the ETL, which worked pretty well–no need to be dogmatic about it, a 70% pure codebase is still generally easier to reason about than a 20% pure codebase.

We have ~400 overdoses per month here. ~20% of that is fatal overdoses because those ODs are from users doing it by themselves and not inside one of the shooting galleries we have set up. The safe injection sites work as advertised but for many reasons some addicts don't go there, mainly because debt collecting gangsters and drug dealers hover all around the front doors, and stigma of standing in an addict lineup that spreads for blocks for all to see.

There's a few reports here from VANDU a group run by addicts on the effectiveness of peer-run supervised injection sites and needle exchanges, meaning run by other addicts instead of government employees http://www.vandu.org/reports/

The problem is synthetic opioid is being used to buff out heroin so street dealers can save money by importing less heroin from India (how it comes into Canada). They keep coming up with new synthetics to bypass precursor prohibition or import laws, plus China has factories pumping this shit out legally which can easily be smuggled since it costs far less than heroin from India/Afghanistan.

Whenever you talk to a street addict basically the reason they got on heroin was they had some other substance abuse problem, usually cocaine, alcohol or meth, there was a shortage of that substance because either they couldn't afford it, busts made it scarce, or they were in jail so through peers they accessed heroin instead and got hooked.

Methadone doesn't work, they've already abandoned that idea here and moved to just handing out heroin to the worst cases, or hydromorphone which has a proven success rate in weening addicts off drugs.

Somewhere in all this is a solution that doesn't involve enabling career bums who want free heroin for life and doesn't involve 400+ ambulance calls per month draining our resources.

Research focussed universities like UC do of course spend a lot more on research, but those activities have their own dedicated funding streams, mostly Federal grants.

i imagine its similar to how drugs and weapons dealers meet. when you know seedy people, you get connected. birds of a feather and all that.
it's not when applied once, it's when something that can be understood more easily "locally" is exploded into a billion such pieces - then you have to mentally find all the call sites and usages to mentally build the call graph back up — you still have to understand how the whole ensemble works and bulldozing can (but not always) make understanding the ensemble more difficult especially if done by a poor programmer has the effect of obfuscation rather than clarification.

You're right that leaving a job can affect other people...but so does staying! By continuing to work there, Uber employees are facilitating a sexist environment, the exploitation of the drivers who (if things go according to plan) will soon be discarded and left with car loans they can't pay back, and a general disregard for the wellbeing of anyone who is not an Uber shareholder or executive.

I agree with you that the Uber situation is far from the civil rights era, but I wanted to pick an example of regular people (almost certainly in a much worse situation than OP) making a sacrifice that impacted their finances and quality of life. Those people had family members depending them too; the difference is they had a cause they cared enough about to make sacrifices. I believe that people should either be willing to make sacrifices for things they care about, or admit that they don't care enough. OP was instead treating the suggestion that people make a sacrifice as a prima facie absurd suggestion, and I find that troubling.

HyperTrack – Unveiling the plug-and-play location stack
I'm an Uber engineer. I've been here several years. I'm not going to comment on any recent news, but I do have something very important to say that I've yet to see anyone else voice.

What frustrates me most about people are hell bent on painting a wildly successful company in the worst light possible is that doing so has very serious negative implications for equality and opportunity for women and other groups that are under-represented in tech. Let me explain why.

Spending several years at a unicorn startup opens up so many opportunities. Look at early employees from Fairchild, Paypal, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. These companies minted many many millionaires and gave them tons of valuable experience to go out and start their own companies after they left. When you so aggressively bad mouth the culture of a rising unicorn such that you discourage certain groups from even applying to work there, you have deprived those people of an opportunity to be on a rocket ship. You're perpetuating the very problem you're railing against.

My colleagues in the LadyEng group here at Uber have on many occasions lamented how hard a time they have recruiting other women to join the company because of the reputation in the media. The company culture has been so maligned by those with an agenda that even the women engineers here have a difficult time convincing other women to join.

If you really want people who are under-represented in tech to succeed, you should encourage them and support them in joining every rising unicorn that exists and will ever exist regardless of how that culture is perceived, because four years after joining they will have the money, experience and connections to create their own companies and perpetuate a virtuous cycle.

If you agree with this message please spread it because so few people realize how they are contributing to a self-fulfilling prophecy that hurts the cause they claim to champion.

There are many types of disability and to produce content that is fully inclusive is almost impossible.

You have hearing problems, various types of vision problems including color blindness... you can have extreme cases where someone is deaf-blind and also has no hands therefore braille doesn't work. Can that person deny content to everyone else by suing and force everyone to adapt to their needs? Can you possibly cover each individual disability?

This sets a precedent that invites other universities to also take down all their content, basically wasting a lot of excellent, valuable hard work.

So Russia and China may now worry that we'll make a first strike because we could disable their counterattack. And we have to worry about them doing it to us.

This seems very surprising to me. And it also seems criminally exploitable.

So if a bank in Poland sends you a million dollars by mistake, is it yours?

What would happen if someone stole it and transferred it to your account, does that make you a criminal?

And even more interestingly, if a malicious bank programmer (who's in league with you) introduced a bug on purpose (let's suppose we cannot prove the intent here, it's very difficult) and the bank mistakenly deposits you the money, do you have a duty to return it?
