You don't know what you're talking about. CEOs have mortgages, healthcare, and families to worry about. They also have a handful of very demanding, very intimidating investors to please, to each of whom they owe millions, they have employees that are constantly getting poached, they have users that are shitting on their product online.

At large, people are terrible. CEOs are working with these terrible, dumb, rude, and sometimes harmful people to get them to invest, to work, to be productive, to just help get a product out the door. And if they don't get products out the door - If companies do not succeed - You can say goodbye to your nation. We are built on the fruits of technology-selling companies through and through; our wealthy nations do not come from nowhere, someone has to do the work, and CEOs are all doing the work in addition to family, healthcare, and mortgage woes.

Go to company parties. Skipping them hurts.

At the intern level, the most important thing you can do is build firm relationships with the people that are immediately associated with your work. Focus on impressing a substantial subset of them. In engineering, you'll lose credibility by looking too "businessy" and requesting lunch meetings with everyone and their dog.

Practice talking to people. Practice meeting new people. Go somewhere where you introduce yourself to strangers. Do this over and over and over again until you're good at breaking the ice and feel fine in a room full of new faces. That's really all you need.

The people requesting lunches from random people are not doing it because they're extroverted. Meeting new people/establishing new relationships is a high-energy thing and it's not likely they're excited about it either. They're doing it because they are consciously trying to expand their network.

Your network is critically important, but you don't have to go breadth-first. I'd suggest depth-first is better. Build stronger relationships with fewer people who are localized to your target expertise for now.
"I would make the contention that it is up to the company and the board of the company to decide the compensation of any of it's employees, including the CEOs."

Is it any shock that a class of people value people in their own set over the people that actually do the work?
SemiOnTopic: Some people in the comments equate "fast metabolism" and being skinny. How is that supposed to work?

Metabolism is the conversion of energy from incoming food into stored energy (fat) or used energy (heat, chemical processes). The speed of metabolism does not appear in any equilibrium (of which body weight is a statistic). If you've eaten food and it is not stored, the energy has to be expressed some other way - in what way do "fast metabolism" people express it?

I imagine it would be quite hard to come up with good debugging examples for a class. Anything that has one right answer is going to smell like a made-up classroom assignment.

The thing that makes debugging hard is multiple hypotheses (or amazingly, exhausting all hypotheses). Your crash can be caused by errors on many different abstraction levels, so your debugging process has to be thought about on many levels. On one level, you have an illegal access via pointer. On another, you have a user whose information is incomplete.

Once you find a bug it's often hard to trace back exactly what the original state (including your state of mind) was, because you'll have taken the thing apart in various ways, added logging, looked at the call stack, memory, etc. And once you know the issue you shave down the explanation so that all those tedious steps that didn't lead to the answer seem to vanish.

One thing that got me thinking was this idea that people are expected to fail. To me, such a process is incredibly wasteful, and itself a failure. Are engineering students immune to ordinary psychology? If you tell people half of them will give up, you'll lose a lot of them, even ones who could pass.

You can make a course difficult, but don't tell people they will fail. I was never confronted with such statements, yet after my first year about 10% of the engineers had been booted due to failing exams.

His other point seems to be that courses are difficult because they aren't taught to people with the prerequisites. That should never be the case. Where I went the prereqs were a very standard set of math courses, and you could access most non-math courses knowing just those.

Just because the high level effects of a study like this are commonly understood, and predictable, it doesn't mean the science isn't valuable! Digging deeper into things like this helps us understand our inner workings better and has immense value (not speaking to this particular study - just in general).
There's a whole section in the article explaining this in detail.
HPTT is intended as a drop-in replacement for any tensor transposition (see example on GitHub).

Some semi-hidden latch is shockingly poor UX, and frankly I am surprised this is coming out of Tesla. It appears as though nobody has gone through an emergency scenario with these doors. It isn't fucking hard either - the basic rule is: "when in an emergency situation, 99.999% of the population will not turn into Rambo or Bear Grylls, but instead their faculties will drop to basics. We start to see in flashes as opposed to "streaming" and we start to perceive the world in black and white as opposed to color. The amygdala will be in control, and is really good at pumping us full of go-fast juice, and kinda sucks at higher level reasoning."

So to cater for an emergency scenario, make everything simple, obvious, and wherever possible, dependent on muscle memory. The emergency release should depend on whatever mechanism is already used for that door (no idea what it is now), but more - if it is a latch, have some mechanism where if you pull the latch much harder it becomes a mechanical device that opens the door. In the case of these wing doors that move up, make the whole door drop off the hinges or something. In the case of an electric button, make it so that if you depress it even more, again it becomes a mechanical device. etc. WTF, Tesla?
Pretty sure you are in fact wrong.

This has been a long time coming. Good to see it landing. There must be some technical challenges with doing a load balancer that is optimized for both HTTP round trips, AND, HTTP upgrades to long lived TCP connections.

One issue is that, as stated in the Troubleshooting section of the linked docs, source IP is not forwarded to application. Maybe in future the X-Forwarded-For header, or some other source identification, will be provided, as well.
Is there a technology connection to this story?
Most things can be done in a less complicated manner, but it costs more.

Consider SAP. It's complicated to say the least, but a lot of that complexity comes from both it's generality, it's flexibility, and the quality of the solutions it solves underneath.

Any solution you write in SAP could be written in a much simpler manner using simpler tools, but doing so would and getting your solution to the quality of what you can get in SAP would be hugely expensive and take a lot of time.

In that way we subsidize each other, but in doing so, we often make things much more complicated than they strictly need to be to solve any particular problem.

Now this is a different class from things that are just shitty design. Those exist in abundance, and it's unfortunate, but that's life.

> is Uber really just that bad?

Sounds like it is. Uber's not exactly the first tech company to be in the spotlight, and yet they seem to be a uniquely anarchic organization.

For instance, Google's been in this kind of hot water before - namely regarding the stored wifi traffic captured by street view vehicles. That said, what Uber's accused of here is an even more massive breach of public trust IMO.

True, their attempts to find the 6 million names fits very well into the hands of the denialist camp. For people not aware, 6 is a magical/religious number for the jews, so they have always talked about 6 million deaths without clear evidence of how many really died (maybe more or maybe less, but certainly not exactly 6 million).
It was rounded trough years to match number symbolism.

Doesn't change the atrocity much and it's somewhat consistent with the records (4.5 million known death) and the estimates (up to ten million)

What it does however is it shuts down most attempts of rational discussions and preemptively kill most historians effort to tally the other victims

edit: case in point, downvotes

What an idiotic knee-jerk "security measure". Bets on how long before we have to fly stark naked?
That could be done without targeting individual companies so yes. Same as it is legal to give incentives to buy green cas by subsidizing light or electric cars taxing gas or heavy cars.

The kind of targeted breaks I'm thinking of is e.g. this:
http://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2089&Year=2013#...

That's just basically Boeing saying "Give us a tax break of N billion or we move from Washington". Legislators afraid to lose their jobs approve. The state keeps the jobs, the legislators keep their jobs. Everyone is happy? Well, except the people in the state that lost a ton of tax revenue.

To be clear: this isn't a tax cut for "the Washington aerospace industry". There aren't going to be any competitors creating buildings for the manufacturing of plane fuselages in Washington state - it's a tax cut directed directly towards Boeing alone. You wouldn't have to be a star lawyer to prove that point.

The argument that "but they create jobs in the state so even with the tax break, Washington state benefits from having them there" doesn't float either. That's how blackmail works. I need my knee caps so even after paying the mobster $10000 for keeping them I come out ahead!

If states weren't able to offer company targeted tax breaks like that, then Boeing couldn't have blackmailed Washington legislators like that. Which would benefit everyone involved (Except of course - Boeing).
If we determine how right something is with how clever it is, we can justify some pretty messed up things.

> those who were underperforming weren’t struggling with the fundamental concepts in the class, but with algebra: the problems were caused by not having an intuitive understanding of, for example, the difference between f(x+a) and f(x)+a.

Those taking that class have spent years trying to learn algebra and still don't get it so we are already trying this.

> I’m no great teacher, but I was able to get all but one of the office hour regulars up to speed over the course of the semester.

Most likely they just memorized the new algebra rules as well. There are lots of studies showing how hard it is to teach students anything tangible, instead most will just try to memorize everything you say.

I am the author of a private chat system that is used by a medium sized group of people. It was originally developed about 10 years ago, using a basic frame based page and http-refresh, and over time it evolved into a full Ajax/JS web application with features that match Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

The key thing when developing an app is to fill a need. If there's no need for your app, why bother developing it? (unless it's a learning activity which of course is fine)

The 'needs' in this particular case were:

- Be web based; The target users couldn't install a local application.
- Be proxy aware; Only use port 80 (and later 443) for connectivity.
- Be 'under the radar'; Needed to live on a URL that didn't attract attention to itself.

No other service at the time could fill these needs and this was before the explosion of Smartphones and the PhoneApp ecosystem. As such it became a useful tool, and is still used daily by a group of people.

You don't. You wait for them until they decide and act on their decision.
I read The Road and I can empathize. There's a few awful scenes, including one that really hits you after you think you've been desensitized to the horrors. However, I'm really glad I read that book because it's incredibly profound. Certainly, it's deeply unsettling to the reader, who is forced to imagine living through every cherished thing in your world destroyed and defiled. Yet, it also imagines what is the core of humanity when it exists in a vacuum without any obfuscation (my rationalization of the child, to those who have read it). Plus, this is all written in really beautiful prose- I found myself re-reading many lines to appreciate the creative use of language. I hope this convinces you to stomach the ugliness and give it a read :-)
This sounds ultimately like a political question and not an ethical one. Meaning, public opinion needs to spar with private interests on numerous related matters in order to arrive at a conclusion, because no one person is going to be able to figure it out themselves. Until then the area is a frontier where you must tread carefully and keep your wits about you.

What makes the US a good place for business is its very willingness to forgive certain types of transgressions, which would get you crucified in Europe. We instinctively understand that this stuff is hard and until legal lines are drawn and sometimes even in that case, we're not going to hang your ass out to dry.

I think the reason for this is that a lot of innovations can come out of this process. If we held ethical transgressor's feet to the fire without fail then we'd never find really interesting products and services that never would have existed otherwise.

If you operate outside of safe, established, legal and ethical grounds, then you're throwing your fate to the court of public opinion, and that feels right to me.

>It is interesting to note that, were they applied to physical private property, most of your arguments would clear the stealing of anything that is not bolted to the ground.

This is exactly the flawed analogy that incumbents use to keep anti-competitive legislation like the CFAA and extreme copyright regimes in place, but it doesn't work.

>Well, our laws work like that for pretty much every other aspect of property laws. The owner's only responsibility is to make sure that potential users know the thing is not up for grabs.

They don't universally work like that for public places or businesses. There are significant restrictions in how access to public businesses can be restricted, as well significant accessibility and regulatory requirements before such a place is authorized to open (even if the building is not open to the public). Property owners have to put up with a lot of crap they don't like from their tenants and/or customers. There are whole sectors of law dealing with this.

Beyond that, we're not talking about real/physical property. We're talking about sending copies of bits around. The mere fact that Lyft could've hypothetically charged Uber for access to these bits is not really relevant. Unless Lyft can make an argument that Uber's access was materially disruptive, it should be A-OK in my book. We don't need to adhere to a broken analogy.

When you open for business, you're making a deal with the community. That deal is not well-represented by the CFAA. This is one of the rare instances when the CFAA is being deployed against the larger company, but that doesn't make it a fair law, and note that you still have to have gazillion dollars to consider a suit under this; no garage-based startup is going to be benefited by the CFAA. Drop this one and get Uber on something they deserve to get gotten on.
When your position is to defend a woman who doubts the French fascist government rounded up jews, your argument is probably knackered from the start.

Regardless of why the stories are coming out, can we stop directing away from them? We've got a big bad wolf on the hook, why let them off? There is no reason anyone should be supporting them at this point unless you're acknowledging you don't care about all of the stories. Other companies potentially being as bad (which I think people are really overplaying) is not reason to make excuses for them, as stated in other threads here.
Nice question. I am just wondering if anyone will disclose their current killer acquisition hacks. Moreover, the question heavily depends on your business, so is it B2B, B2C, online, app, bot, etc.?

However, a good read on this which tackles all ways of user acquisition/Marketing is 'Traction' from the DuckDuckGo founder. It's not an exciting book but gives an ok overview.

You could also just start with the channel which seems most obvious, set up analytics from day one and iterate over and over. With this approach you should get a good feeling if your acquisition strategy works and if yes you should optimize. Otherwise move on to the next channel.

Edit: When you search for Traction on Amazon.com there's also another one on #1 (good Amazon search hack from another other author btw) which is not the mentioned book (the one I mean is blue-ish)
If you gave the key to a guy so they could watch your dog, they're still guilty of theft if they steal your stuff.
