I am positive that many (But not all) of these firms put their managers through sexual harassment training. I went through it before I received reports.

The problem is that it only takes one idiot to cause a problem... And the odds of at least one manager being an idiot approach 100%, as your company grows.

(In a place like Uber, though, the problem seems systemic.)
This doesn't mean much. They can flag you for whatever, but not having ID isn't a crime, so a flag is the most they can do. Let's say they think that not having an ID means you're an illegal immigrant. They have to prove that in court, while you don't have to prove that you aren't.

Ya, I generally agree that Mississippi run medicaid should probably be paying less for drugs than Connecticut run medicaid.

Response to your response to GP's edit. Pretty sure GP was talking about him and his spouse not him and you.
What percentage of customers/drivers do YOU think would switch over to Lyft et al?

From my experience in growth/marketing, I would bet there would be around 50% drop off, but I could definitely be wrong! These things are hard to guess. (Customers need to switch as well as drivers)

Even a 1% drop off leads to 5000 people let go. Anything substantial would lead me to strongly considering other avenues of redemption.

To be sure, I'd want to better understand the magnitude of effect here before saying that sentencing Uber to death is "absolutely" the right thing to do.
Optimistically? You could do it in two years if you're studying full-time, focused, and have a mentor for any roadblocks. Six months getting familiar with programming, and 6 months in each area (front, back, devops). However, with things like devops, I'd personally want someone with a year or two of real, working experience. And this is not factoring in the potential of burnouts from repeated 8-10 hour days of studying.

Lastly, it's pointless to check off all the boxes there unless you're trying to make yourself super marketable. For example, if a company is hiring a Rails developer, they don't care if you know Node/Django/Go/the next hot thing.
I tend to think that monopolies are bad, whether corporations or unions. Local 14 is trying to be a monopoly.

One of the best arguments I've heard for unions [0] is that a negotiation between workers and companies is usually very lopsided: a company can afford for an employee to quit, but a worker often cannot afford to get fired. A union is powerful enough to negotiate equally with companies. But in the case of Local 14, it seems like the power is actually lopsided in the other direction: Local 14 can afford to boycott one particular construction project, but the building developers can't afford to go without cranes.

This is whataboutism. Both are bad, and holding the opinion that rent seeking is bad is logically consistent with condemning both action classes.
There's the one camp that decries how this flies in the face of basic thermodynamics (human body temperature vs. ambient gives abysmally low Carnot efficiency), and the other camp that claims thermodynamics is just invented by the machines to make stuff work inside the Matrix.
actually, per the first paragraph he specifically says he thinks the depiction is incongruous with the quiet life of desperation and the relationship between the two is completely lost on him. Read it again.
No parent comment criticizing unions does it without the implication that they shouldn't exist. This is most easily seen by the total absence of any mention of a specific union, thus direction the objections towards the concept itself rather than any specific version of it.

Emails as Extensions of Product Interfaces
I have never really brought it when they say that they are disabling some feature because they can't support it, as if there's an avalanche of phonecalls that is swamping their tech support resources. By that logic, why don't they just disable support for any third party monitors? Actually, better not give them ideas...
Facial unlocking programs have this problem too. Just search for "facial unlock racism" and there's pages of results from various sources and years.

Software is subject to the same effects institutions of racism, sexism, etc. and is a good example of just how pervasive these institutions are.
Why are they now sitting dormant instead of being used elsewhere?
There is a big need for a "safe" internet for minors. Another point is that free pornography asks "Are you sure you're 18?" and takes their word whether they are 11 or 19.

I, for one, would pay an extra fee to ensure that the internet provided by my ISP was filtered for child inappropriate content. And for platforms that had mixed content, could be blocked until those platforms created safe subdomains like "childsafe.youtube.com" or what have you.
umm so that other people wouldn't waste their time. I often read comments for longer articles first and if the top rated comments all agree its not worth reading I won't.

Anyways, HN is a place where both sides should be commented on. I certainly do not read HN hoping that the only people who comment are making congratulatory remarks on everything.

We strongly encourage constructive and specific criticism on this site and it fosters some of the best conversation in both technical, sociopolitcal, eocnomic and other ways.

There were 15 participants in the GitHub issue. Hardly enough people to manipulate anything, so obviously that was not the intention. Even though some 300 people are watching the repo as a whole I doubt that many of them would see that particular comment. As the parent to your comment said, a screenshot is a reasonable way to inform the others in the thread that the link has been posted.

I am against vote-manipulation of course but I don't think that this is an instance of it.
I never said Meyer ran Yahoo into the ground; I pointed out Yahoo was already on a downward trajectory, and I said she didn't do anything to help that.

I said Carly Fiorina ran HP into the ground. And she did. No, HP was not "falling apart* before she got there. She's the one who had the dumb idea of merging with Compaq, a huge and costly merger that didn't benefit HP at all, and turned it from a company making extremely high-value equipment (medical and test equipment) into a company making crappy commodity PC hardware. She also helped run Lucent into the ground before she went to HP.

>For you to not acknowledge that is just bigotry.

I never said anything about it either way. To call me a "bigot" because I don't address something to your satisfaction speaks volumes about your agenda. I only pointed out that there's plenty of horrible male CEOs, meaning that CEOs of both sexes are frequently bad. I never addressed random anonymous internet posters, nor do I care to. The internet is full of horrible, vitriolic people as we see right here from time to time, and I see little point in even paying attention to them.

>soooo I really find your comment assuming anyone who is a CEO a sociopath offensive.

I find your defense of CEOs to be highly offensive. In my observation, most CEOs clearly are sociopaths, and the profession as a whole has deservedly earned that reputation. And anyone who's an apologist for the profession is likely a sociopath themselves, or maybe a useful sycophant. Whoopee, you found one that you think might not be a sociopath. The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

>I just don't even know what else to say about your presumptuous attitude about all CEOs being sociopaths. I can imagine they must become disenchanted with people like you who never turn down an opportunity to judge them as a person despite not knowing them as a person at all but farther than yet, you are making absolutely baseless claims in that regard.

Oh gee, those poor, poor, multi-millionaire/billionaire CEOs!! Won't someone think of the billionaires!
Good, I'm not the only one who thought this article was completely ridiculous.
In my naive mind, I can't help but think it might simply be a case of the contrast ratio being greater in lighter skinned people - therefore making the hit ratios higher. Greater contrast ratios will make facial features stand out more.

A lot of time. Which roadmap in particular were you asking about? I'll attempt to estimate each of the three, though I'm sure others here will have better estimates in each. I'll overestimate as well, as much as double what I think is fair because, if we're honest, developers are bad at estimating large time periods.

The question is irrelevant, they could all have Phds in deep learning and transistor design. But that doesnt seem to be the reason this man is depicting himself as validated in this portrayal. Anyways, I almost regret making this comment because of all the feedback. Sorry I pointed out the authors specific comments on how he DOES NOT see a correlation between the depiction of a man who shows off wealth and women as a quiet life of desperation.

As for me, the loudest and most pompous people in the room I always question their security and happiness the most. If you are so happy, why do you need to show it off to everyone else? Do you need validation from people? That's kind of my initial reaction to men like this.

As far as hedonistic behavior. I really have no opinions on what two (or more if that floats your boat) people do as long as its consensual. The issue was not whether the fact of having a jet or flying in one is wrong, or having around multiple women in bikinis on your jet flights is wrong or shallow or hedonistic, the issue is why show it off to everyone? what are you trying to prove?

Desperation = maybe seeking self validation from other people or these things which in their own form are fine and all but not going to help with your quiet life of desperation and they certainly don't antiquate the possibility of it, which is exactly what his author seemed to not understand.

I don't use FB and don't know much about it.

Googling around, it looks like this lifting of the .edu restriction happened eleven years ago in 2006, around two years after FB launched in 2004. Contrary to your own declining experience, this was actually before FB became relevant to masses of people around the world. Most of the FB history and success has taken place "post-edu" now.

Requiring people to have .edu addresses ranges from being bat shit crazy to crudely elitist, unless it's just intended as a temporary limitation as part of a pilot launch, which is what it looks like this may have been?

I'm actually quite surprised to learn about this bit of Facebook history.

There's one aspect of all this I'd like to address. According to Dries, the reason for banning Larry is this:

In the end, I fundamentally believe that all people are created equally. This belief has shaped the values that the Drupal project has held since it's early days. I cannot in good faith support someone who actively promotes a philosophy that is contrary to this. The Gorean philosophy promoted by Larry is based on the principle that women are evolutionarily predisposed to serve men and that the natural order is for men to dominate and lead.

This sounds horrible, but I think it's just a misunderstanding. I believe that what Dries (and some commenters, like tptacek[1][2]) misses here is a very fundamental fact: BDSM is just a game, and "Gor" is just a series of science-fantasy novels.

In other words, even if Larry did say somewhere that "females are subhuman" it's not enough to conclude that this is what he believes in, even less that he would act on these beliefs. It may look pretty bad - whatever he said or wrote[5], we don't know[3] - when taken out of context, but without solid evidence to the contrary I assume the context here is BDSM. Saying things like these is expected and normal within the bounds of the scene and in conversations about it[6].

Again: default assumption when it comes to BDSM is that it's an act, a game played between consenting adults. Dries seems to be convinced that there is enough evidence[4] to say that this assumption does not apply here. As an outsider, I find it hard to believe him without seeing the evidence myself. In my experience, it's more often the case that the shocked observers don't know (or don't want to know) the convention and interpret what they see out of context.

To summarize: without further evidence and based on the knowledge of what BDSM is about I think it's safer to assume that someone did take offense (contrary to Dries claim[7]) to something he didn't fully understand, which resulted in current situation.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13961655

[2] Since the beliefs that we're talking about could be broadly and probably inaccurately but by how much I don't know described as "females are subhuman," it's the perspective of the Drupal members who did the ousting that those beliefs matter very much to the project.

[3] it is not for me to share any of the confidential information that I've received,

[4] However, I can tell you that those who have reviewed Larry's writing, including me, suffered from varying degrees of shock and concern.

[5] There is no mention anywhere about actually doing something wrong.

[6] tptacek writes that "[...] the claim here [...] is that proselytizing was in fact an issue." - but that would only be a problem had Larry tried to convince someone that "females are subhuman", and again, given that the only context given is "BDSM" I assume he didn't. He may have said something which could be interpreted as such, but that's not really the same thing as consciously "promoting" "the philosophy."

[7] I also don't take any offense to the role-playing activities or sexual preferences of Larry's alternative lifestyle.

Okay, in your own words please rephrase what the OP meant with "at some point we are going to have to realise that terrorists are always going to want to target aircraft and just live with it".

What does "just live with it" mean, to you? I don't have to just live with the fact that there is probably at least 1 cannibal in the world (out of 7 billion people), today, who would probably love to cook and eat me (or eat me raw).

So the literal reading (about living with the fact that there are people "wanting to") doesn't make any sense. It's not an actual statement. So what does "and just live with it" mean, to you?
That's a big standard forum. Implementing it as an SPA would be silly.

I spent several months at home with my <1 yr old son. I found it very hard indeed; much harder than either coding or academic research. His needs were difficult to predict, 'success' was undefined, constant watchfulness was hugely draining, and there was no chance of taking a break to get coffee (or go to the toilet, or to change out of a vomit-covered jumper). And I didn't know what I was doing.

People's mileage may vary, but I would be very reluctant to paint "spending time with one's children" as some kind of easy option. I returned to full-time work at the earliest opportunity and with a sigh of relief. Many other child carers (of both genders) would love to do the same.

Not quite sure why the difficulty of scheduling brain surgery or truck driving around children is apposite either. No particular reason (beyond ingrained expectations) why a woman can't do the surgery and her partner keep predictable hours and handle the children.
> DevTools on Chrome doesn't disable caching. There is a button to disable cache that's off by default.

I simply asked the poster if they had caching disabled when they had devtools opened as I ran into this exact issue before. Why does the default matter if I asked them if they had it enabled?

I used to subscribe and ready many blogs about a decade ago - all in Google Reader. When that died, so did my blog reading habits, and I never went back to reading a specific blog on a regular basis.

Nowadays, I only visit blog site when they come up as a Google search result. Even then, single visit to get the info I want (usually a programming or business related thing) then I close the tab and never go back to that site. I cannot remember ever bookmarking a blog home page for later reference in the past few years.

No slight against those blogs - usually brilliant content written by smart people. It is just that I don't have the time these days to stop and read article after article on one particular site. We are just so flooded with information these days that I see it akin to fishing in the ocean. It is no longer worth spending the energy to just try and catch particular sort of fish - I just throw the line in and see what comes up and make do with that.

As an aside, it will be interesting research to see if the death of Google Reader had an impact on visitor stickiness to blog sites. I know in my case, it completely changed the way I consume blog content altogether - I wonder if it was the same to others?
People pay too much attention to the money. He wasn't "bought" with the $2500, he was "bought" with the guaranteed votes from union members for supporting it.
Terry has stated that, apart from serving God, the goal of TempleOS is to encourage C64-like hobbyist experimentation. He seems quite happy with outsiders writing software for his system, and has endorsed this MegaMan game on the TempleOS software page:

The whole OS seems more snappy to me. Wonder if they have somehow figured out how to file access latency? Perhaps less of the filesystem metadata needs to be accessed on each file access.
Fair enough, even if it is great, it won't have 30 years of optimizations like some C compilers, but hopefully it is still really fast.
