Thanks. I've been looking at new cars, and a bit scared. I've been to automotive school, and never needed to bring my vechicles to the dealership.

If things don't change, I might be forced into going into those $225/hr. dens of mystery.

When I'm doing the negotiations; I do plan on insisting a shop manual, but even a shop manual can only do so much. It's that closed computer that scares me.

Taking out a battery and the car won't start is unacceptable.

(I understand a vechicle needs to relearn the pulse widths of the EFI system, after a power interrupt. Actually--I don't even understand that. The computer should have a rechargeable battery that remembers the last data points? Or, go into "open loop" until the computer relearns? I find any vechicle that won't start after taking a battery out just wrong.)
As long as both sides do agree this is accurate, this seems like a great summary of the perspectives involved.
Does anyone have any idea, or even educated guess on if and when we might see a price drop on other, now ""outdated"" (not really) GPUs? I was just starting to plan building a desktop with plenty of CUDA cores, and now that this has come out I'm wondering if I should wait a few weeks or a month to see if prices fall.
I think this may be a Xerox Alto, IBM PC, or Sun Java moment. In the short term I can see a clear benefit to Google for this. They want to get machine-learning into more aspects of the Android mobile experience, Android customers are justifiably paranoid of sending things like every keystroke on the device back to Google's cloud, and so this gives them a privacy-acceptable way to deliver the features that will make them more competitive in a new market. Remember that the vast majority of Google employees honestly want to do what's best for the user, not what preserves Google's monopoly.
I wonder why this got flagged.
The front shots aren't bad but the car looks ugly as sin from the sides. Big and bulky in the back with a short front end. And what's up with the suspension 3 miles off the ground. It's got some rally car height there. I'm not feeling it at all.
Easy: you'll be "firing" the company's stated corporate values running counter to the practice and "hiring" operational values aligned with it.

What are those fired/hired values? I don't know and likely neither do you. Considering it's a practice based on arbitrarily judging others (ie.firing Equanimity), I'm guessing Compassion & Kindness also take a walk, with Joy soon to follow. I don't need to know anything more about your company to know I don't want to work there...sounds like a dreary place to work.

It's not only important to intentionally design your culture in alignment with your values, but for the values to be aligned with the organization's needs. Humans and organizations don't need rankings. They need resources. Designing a culture around rankings ignores needs and is thus an unfriendly environment for people. They'll then do whatever it takes to meet their needs, regardless of corporate values.

In short, enjoy your cultural grab bag!
So, what, you're opposed to people talking about how they think large organizations should work instead of how they actually work? There are about two dozen people in this thread that you should be directing your comments to.

But also: If we're talking about an organization where it is impossible for a manager of, say, a 100-200 person department to figure out who the 10-20 worst people are across his entire department -- where he's helpless and just has to say, "Well, I don't know, I'll punt down to my lower-level managers," that's prima facia evidence of a dysfunctional org. What is the doctrine that you feel is going to lead to better termination decisions in that org?
Anecdotal, I know, but I tripped over the cord on my laptop today and as the magsafe connector smacked me in the back of the leg I thought to myself "if that was USB-C, I'd have broken something" Laptop would have gone flying off the table, cable or connector would have broken or more likely, just would have ripped the connector out of the laptop and weakened both the socket and the cable, rendering the socket useless over time. USB-C is cool for some things, but, magsafe is far far superior. Apple should have put both on the new MBP.
Are you joking?

Why is this being downvoted? It is a sincere question.
What was the Cloudera incident? I couldn't find anything from Googling around.
- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Improve GNOME shell for less memory usage

- DESCRIPTION: I hope that ubuntu shall be using GNOME shell (with ubuntu specific changes) as noted in the blog[0]. Right now GNOME shell is using around 100-200MiB (even more for several others) of memory on usual usage. I hope this could be reduced to some 50 MiB consistently, or even less.

Also GNOME shell strongly depends on evolution-data-server, gdm, tracker (I think), etc. It would be nice if these dependencies are made optional (ie, recommended, but not required packages). So that gnome shell can be run on less memory IOT systems like RPi, older laptops etc without the other dependencies. This may require changes to gnome shell in upstream GNOME. Please do the packaging changes in Debian upstream.

Thanks.

All those things are basically like a software job, except for the part that you aren't paid.

The skills to handle it are the same.

In commercial development, you ideally have some layers between you and the customers. That depends on how large of an outfit you are and so on.

How it works at Reasonably Big Co. is that all those requests from the end users don't go to you directly but to some customer support people (who are actually technical: they develop solutions and fix issues by actual coding; do not think "Microsoft customer support" here). You, in turn, support these people: but your manager should be coordinating that. If you are asked anything that would require significant development, you redirect to your manager; other than that, you help as much as you can without derailing your official work schedule.

Secondly, if customers have some major request like for a major feature, support may defer them to "product management" to have that work put on the road-map for the next release or whatever.

Product management doesn't bug you directly to develop anything. They negotiate with your managers to hammer out what is in scope, and from there a schedule is devised and so on. You end up with some tasks out of that schedule.

Similar principles can be applied to your OSS project: you (and possibly the handful of other contributors) just have to wear all these hats yourselves.

Here is the thing: those aforementioned support people independently produce solutions to problems. They check them into their own repos and they release that stuff to customers. Then later, customers want all that stuff carried forward in the software. So there is a tension: there are all these wild and wooly patches whipped up by support, of varying quality and they (or equivalent solutions in their place) have to be somehow integrated. The support people tend to say yes to customers to make them happy which isn't always best for the product.

That is quite similar like when in OSS you are receiving complete patches from highly technical users who can code.

Why can't usage data be recorded rather than what people purchase? If you want a Fuji apple, you request one, and that would be recorded in the system. How does the price system determine what people want? Many products which people don't want are made, and in fact capitalism has manufactured products that they have to convince people to use.
It's much different now. It's a lot easier to get access to a printing press than to something equivalent to Twitter.

Everyone is mutually addressable in meatspace. If you're in the same space, and someone else talks, you have no choice but to hear it or leave the premises (note that here, the people who don't like the speech must vacate, not the people speaking unpopular things). There's a great equalizing power in that.

In ye olden tyme, you could walk up to your neighbor and give him a copy of your paper. He could throw it away or refuse to talk to you, but there was no [legal] way to totally disappear/silence you.

As for corporations, if they didn't like you, all they could do is print their own counter-arguments. Now the corporate entity can effectively disappear you and cut you off not only from the larger world, but your personal social graph.

This is particularly insidious when it comes to the practice of shadowbanning (and I'm speaking in general -- not trying to start a debate as to whether Twitter engages in this or not).
It seems the drivers are asking for both sides... If up-front is an underestimate, they want the contracted milage/time rate. If it's an overestimate, they want the up-front pricing.

There is no problem with that. Many contracts are drawn up that way. I think it may even offer a great incentive to drivers to make trips faster.

But it doesn't strike my outrage nerve that it's not happening now.
well they're losing billion of dollars every quarter so I'd say pretty often.

I was responding to this kind of reasoning even being on the radar; the caption was enough to make me feel sick, didn't feel the need to go further.

This argument is no different when Joel first wrote the test, so to say the question is "out of date" isn't very accurate.

Furthermore, I would suggest that five years ago people were arguing about whether open plans were better. Seems to me like that argument is over, with the resolution being "nope, but they're cheaper!"

I personally often like to work in public areas. Having an office doesn't keep me from doing that, but it does let me retreat when I want to.

> He’s against corporate personhood, skeptical about patents and copyright, and for urban planning, unemployment benefits, public health, socialized medicine, and inheritance taxes. It seems like what gets him really riled up is setting prices for cucumbers or state-owned hat factories.

That seems very consistent with typical free market libertarian stand. I haven't seen any libertarian loving socialized medicine or unemployment benefit. Are you confusing Libertarianism with something else perhaps ?
> What else would he say since he still owns a ton of stock even after the sale?

On the other hand, why else would someone sell 30% of their stock? It's not unusual for someone to announce a plan for complete divestment (usually over the course of several years, to avoid disrupting the market) - that's what Gates is doing with Microsoft, in fact.

If he's holding on to 70% of his stock, it's not like he thinks Twitter is doomed. And as such a large shareholder and board member, it's not like he's just pretending in bad faith to sell only 30% now, but secretly planning on announcing that he's selling the remainder in another year or two. That would be very illegal, and the SEC would come down on him hard.
This was the part of TFA which was unclear to me;

This latest lawsuit claims that Uber implemented
the so-called "upfront" pricing scheme in September
and informed drivers that fares are calculated on a
per-mile and per-minute charge for the estimated
distance and time of a ride.

So reading that again I think you're right that's just talking about fares passengers pay, not fares paid to the driver.

Another key question -- what if Uber underestimates due to changing traffic conditions? Does the driver get underpaid? I doubt it.

So of course the estimate is going to be conservative. So what's the contract say? Probably pretty clearly drivers are paid on actual miles and minutes and not Uber's estimate. I mean, if drivers were paid on the estimate, Uber would still probably be getting sued because it is sometimes low.
3 days or 4 days and you still pay. Uber can't offord a 33% increase in trip length when paying per mile so defacto they are going to have very tight tolerances.

Further the scoring is separately done by the customer. So the conversation is "Can you take the scenic trip? Sorry can't." Further it goes that way because Uber drivers are employed by Uber not independent contractors connected by Uber to customers.
The article has some traction, the comments are not that uncivil, the posted article doesn't appear to be clickbait, and it does fall within what seem to be the community's standards, being related to the intersection of politics and tech culture.

There doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be flagged, other than prudishness. But, we're supposed to be capable of having civilized discussions here, and we're not all children, so maybe people should just not engage with the thread or hide it if they're unwilling to engage with it.
Not really, under U.S. law HN or any other web forum is only responsible for deleting libelous or infringing comments after being notified: Digital Harbor, DCMA, etc.

The analogous situation for Uber would be "allowing a driver to continue using the platform after being notified of illegal on-the-job activity."

I'm going to agree and disagree. I agree with life experience but some from the men and women from the armed forces are very strong leaders at young ages. I was self employed before the age of 25 with a small number of employees but what I learned is that a stronger leader will usually never follow a weaker leader so depending on who you are leading you may or may not survive in the position. Your interviewer may be thinking about who is on the team while deciding. And you will most likely have a shorter rope until respect is earned. Personally I would hire anyone at any age as long as they produced the desired results ages 16-99+

> I'm surprised he waited this long. Twitter's dead and their management doesn't even know it.

He's a board member, and will continue to be after the sale. He's not selling because he lacks faith in the direction of the company. He's selling because he needs the cash, and as someone who made most of his fortune off of Twitter, most of his money is tied up in Twitter stock. As a board member[0] and large shareholder, he needs to make a public filing along with that sale.

If he were selling 80% of his stock, or if he were announcing his intention to step down from the board as well, I might agree with you (but also might point you to Bill Gates, who announced his decision to fully divest from Microsoft a while back, in order to fund his foundation's work). But he's selling less than a third of what he owns, and he's clearly remaining involved with the company in a capacity that bears a fiduciary responsibility.

[0] This really cannot be overstated; board members are not merely shareholders, and it's not a liability-free position. If Williams were seriously pessimistic about the future of Twitter as a board member, selling 30% of his shares and doing nothing else would be the most nonsensical way to act on that pessimism.

Its a problem when it isnt consistent.
Well, I'm not naive. I'm sure there is a lot of things that the public would find unsavory that happens all the time at the upper echelons of companies like this, sure. I'm willing to believe that.

I just have never seen any substantiation between Adobe and Apple doing this sort of thing, even when Steve was alive. This is the first time someone has even confirmed it yet alone alleged this happened. I know both companies had done things in the past that were less than savory (see that whole lawsuit about suppressing wages. Very disgraceful!)

Never this. It's been alleged for years, but never once was there evidence.

I'm sure you could make a mint here if you wanted to, if you could substantiate any of it.
I am aware of all that. I am also well aware that certain topics -- like this -- do get flagged regularly. In many cases, people appear to be simply reacting to the title, without reading further.

I am trying to establish if the OP is sincerely asking for an explanation, trying to be funny, or if it is a not well worded comment indicating what you have just indicated (i.e. an opinion that it shouldn't be flagged).

Edit: I think the OP may have slightly changed the remark. My recollection is that it initially said "Why is this being flagged?" It is possible I am misremembering it, but whatever.
