Having been a CTO I can tell you the only way to be a good one is to accept responsibility for everything under your control. I'd always tell my team my real job was to be the first one to catch bullshit as it rolled downhill and take as much of it as humanly possible (sparing them as much as I could).

You can very easily disrupt and prevent bad cultures by intervening and setting a good example. Once you're a C-level everything is your fault and only your fault because you have the power to stop it. After it being your fault, it's a process problem, only if it's assuredly not a process issue can it then be someone else's fault.

Saying it's the COO or HRs fault is to ignore the problems of culture; ones that YOU allow to exist. Your department/team WILL listen to you and often reflects your ideals and attitudes in the business. By simply being lazy is to create a culture that says it's okay or participate in it (whatever it is). I think this sort of thinking is pretty shameful to be honest and largely why most manager/executives are looked at poorly.

Lead by example and obviously the examples from Uber's executives are to be huge pieces of immoral shit. If you're at the top and you deny your responsibility you're a terrible person.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh, but after having done the job and hopefully done it well (only the teams under me could say for sure)-- this makes my blood boil. Being a CTO, or executive, is a lot harder, different, and complicated than I had ever thought it would be. It's a role that I can hardly recommend to most people who want to do it well.
why don't i care?

Wow that was a remarkable piece of writing
If I remember correctly, Smalltalk/X generated executables so yo didn't have to ship an image & VM. It was faster than the others and could run on Windows and Linux. It was a pretty good product back in the day.
I've been a frequent Reddit user for 7+ years. I honestly don't remember the last time I've ever been to r/all except when some massive drama hits and I want to see what the fuss is about. I'm subscribed to dozens of subreddits so my default homepage is never wanting for interesting content. Because I've unsubscribed from r/news, r/worldnews, r/politics, I never see Reddit discussions on the news of the day. On the other hand, I greatly enjoy the occasional r/politicaldiscussion and r/neutralpolitics thread that show up on my homepage.

And I'm a user who sometimes seeks drama, that is, r/subredditdrama is one of my guilty pleasures. And I still don't get much of a toxic vibe.

That said, I also don't check r/programming very often. The discussions there seem much more blowhard than their equivalent threads on HN. So in other words, there already is a decent alternative to Reddit: HN. Twitter is also pretty decent.

Correct, Enterprise networks generally need the higher number of channels available that is provided with 20mhz width. For example, I have five story buildings with 20-30 APs per floor. There would be too much overlap if I were to use 40/80Mhz channels.

Larger channels can be fine at home. But only if you ensure there are no neighbors that overlap with your range. Keep in mind that as you grow in channel width, you'll need a better SNR to maintain those top data rates.

The one other issue I can think of is auto-channel on a neighbor's 802.11n router. An 802.11n router might not recognize the 80mhz channel used in your network, and thus pick a channel that overlaps.

That being said, I use 40Mhz channels at home with no noticeable issues.
Work areas have more than one dimension. Perhaps there are windows in one of the many directions this photo is not showing?

I almost wished we lived in an alternate universe where the gist of the announcement was something like, "I'm coming back to twitter, and will work to make the platform decentralized and open sourced...like gnu social, mastodon, etc." Oh well.
You know how sometimes you've got the best possible people, really brilliant, and all the resources, and still things go wrong? Rockets blow up for example. The fear of that happening which you see fit to mock, is justified, and no amount of self-righteous dismissiveness is going to help bridge that difference.
Yes, pods have walls and table tops. They can also have huge glass walls that slide open, and storage units so they remain neat. Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one?

Or do you promote open work plans in your day job?
It's not necessarily a bad idea, but it is something that needs to be used responsibly. Obviously not every app/website needs something like, but they can be interesting when used to good effect.

Certainly I know examples I like and examples I hate, and I think everyone has a different preference, but it's not the worst design tool on the block.

«The users give on average zero shits and just want the functionality they came for.»

Groove also uses it to front-and-center feature artist information and album art of the currently playing song or some album you are looking at it. There are links in those banners to start playing something or otherwise interact with it.

As a design tool it's neither good nor bad, user hostile nor user friendly: it's merely an option in the palette of design choices for an app/website and its up to the designer how they want to use.

It's gaining popularity in modern file systems as CPUs paired with fast compression algorithms like lz4 or lzo are generally fast enough nowadays to easily outperform most common storage devices. Saving space also means you need to read or write less form/to the often "slow" medium which makes things faster.

A lot of ethically questionable scientific research might potentially be performed by so-called "rogue states" that don't feel bound by international norms.

We're seeing something like that in regards to copyright and patents, where some countries that don't respect intellectual property have no problems violating copyright and patents of countries that do.

Similarly, cloning research and human-embryo research that might be banned in some countries is being performed by others. Launching nukes it to space is another opportunity to advance for countries that have no ethical problems with that.

You're right. Migrating playlist from one platform, or just a player, to another is huge problem. Keeping them in sync seems impossible.

A universal cross-platform playlist format seems like a much needed feature, but I don't se ehow this could work without significant changes in every supported player/software.

Here's a very real playlist issue I'm facing right now: I use Roon as my main audio player / music management solution. Roon manages my library which is located on a NAS. I have a few playlists created there, but no way to sync them to my iPhone unless I manage a separate playlist in iTunes which has access to the very same NAS library. It's not a deal breaker since I'm used to playlists being software-specific.

Unfortunately I don't see that changing anytime since everyone's answer to this problem seems to be using one single streaming service - a solution which, frankly, handles this particular problem very well, but doesn't work for me due to disadvantages of streaming discussed earlier in this thread.

You... really think icons are more user-friendly if you take away color differentiation? I find that entirely confusing. It's the result of a "make this interface look like something out of a Mission Impossible movie, we want those screenshots to look slick!" directive, not a user-friendliness effort.

[EDIT] As for familiarity, I started on DOS, was a Windows user from 3.1 through 10 (finally ditched 10 a couple weeks ago because it pissed me off one too many times) including NT3.5 and 4, plus 2K, and mixed in a ton of Linux plus a fair amount of BeOS and a touch of QNX starting around the Win98 era. I've used KDE since IIRC late version 1 or early 2, Gnome since before it was bad, and spent lots of time in both Windowmaker and XFCE for good measure. I've used CDE on Solaris in anger. I only jumped on Apple devices ~5-6 years ago for work. With all that context, I feel confident asserting that the Win10 interface looks like the punchline to a joke that I just don't get—it's got nothing to do with exclusive familiarity with Apple.

The flagship phone for this OS is the nexus 5 which uses a 2.26 Ghz quad core qualcomm chip and has 2 gb ram. The hw limitation seems to be the low ram limiting the number of memory heavy desktop apps you can run. Definitely not a video editing rig and vbox doesn't work on arm hosts, but this is good for spread sheets / typing up papers / scanning things with your camera and quickly editing them on a desktop with out any data transfer hassles.
This is a very interesting article and does the thing that the media often does of missing the point: these are the ultimate factor farms--literally factories that crank out leafy greens--and we're close to an economic transition on perishable, constant demand, high value items like leafy greens. Cannabis passed this point several years ago. This is a really hard transition though for the actual food supply that makes the bulk of our calories. Free water and energy from the sky is really hard to beat.

"Milspec ED 209 on", yeah, there's a bunch of little easter eggs in starcraft.

Protoss always seemed more like "Eldar" from warhammer 40k. I vaguely recall the old rogue trader saying Eldar warp in to the battlefield, just like the Protoss.

They probably drew from everything they'd ever read and seen, not at all surprising there are a bunch of references.
The prediction is also dependent on mass adoption of self-driving cars (as the only plausible way that existing internal-combustion cars would end up scrapped en masse in such a short timeframe). The timeframe for that is still unknown and dependent on societal/regulatory factors in addition to getting the technology right. It's safe to bet that regulatory factors will move slow.
You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say they shouldn't be held accountable. I'm saying those responsible should be held accountable.

There's not enough information yet to say who is responsible.

The message to Thuan could have been such that he had to delegate to to HR. With issues like these the buck stops in HR. There are all sorts of issues on how to handle these issues and sensitive terminations. If you mishandle things like this you end up stuck between a sexual harassment lawsuit and a wrongful termination lawsuit.

You always delegate issues like this to HR and your lawyers.

Graves and Thuan would be responsible if they either did not delegate appropriately or if they actively interfered.

Furthermore, all sorts of miscommunication may have transpired. If the executives were contacted by email for example, what's to say that the email didn't have a bad subject line and never got read.

We simply don't have facts and we can't hold the right people accountable until we have those facts. Maybe Graves and Thuan are the right people, but we don't know that yet

Not trying to cast any shade on plumbers. Full respect to them, getting under the house, into the crawlspaces with the random wharf rats and other surprises. And they make more than I do, which is already a lot by my standards. Having gone a full three weeks without hot water, I almost want to build a bronze statue of them for the front lawn, that's how much I appreciate what they do.

And no doubt, there are people who just generally enjoy fixing things and solving problems. I enjoy that too.

However, I imagine in a world where basic needs are met. (Trust me I want this world very much.) I wonder if more money would be enough of a motivator. I sort of imagine this future world divided into two classes of people. Those who want to kill themselves working to get the next greatest iphone every year. And those would rather sit on the porch in a rocking chair enjoying the day. I envision, with basic income, the latter group gaining gradual majority - with people bunking up, combining their basic incomes to support a collective where they go back to farming and other forms of self-sufficiency.

I'm not sure about significance. For me currently, being available on Linux is relevant relative to Dolphin, though I am not anti-Windows by any means, I just have a strong preference for tiling window managers and use Xmonad. In regards to Pharo, and again for me, I don't currently have a need for a much more evolved Smalltalk...roughly speaking, Smalltalk-80 more or less meets my current needs. And for total disclosure, I am currently messing round with GNU-Smalltalk in Emacs because...well, Emacs.

I stumbled across Smalltalk/X:jv branch when I was looking for information about `while` semantics. I wanted to test a `while true` type loop. For sanity, I figured I should put a delay in there before `'foo' printNl`. But the GNU Emacs documentation was more like Javadoc than a user guide and so I Googled up this: http://swing.fit.cvut.cz/projects/stx/doc/online/english/pro....

One thing led to another, as the say, and the rest is this link.
Yeah, I do understand that. But to comment on one point:

>For example, they'll list the monthly payment instead of the price, which makes wading through 'sort by increasing price' a PITA.

Every conference I've been to about the auto industry the experts say that, especially for low-income individuals, the monthly payment is what customers tend to be the most concerned about. In fact, many prefer to pay more total money over a longer term if it means a lower monthly payment.

Seeing as how they don't have a robots.txt, probably not.
Some people don't even realize that researchers themselves pay money to publish a scientific manuscript, whether closed or open, and not the other way around. So the publishing house (likely) recoups their costs of editing and publication with the publication fee paid by the scientist. Remember peer reviewers are not paid either; editing staff, typesetters etc. are the ones that do get paid.

So my issue with the pay for open access model is researchers have to use their grant money to pay even more to these publishers just to unlock the articles for anyone to download. It doesn't solve the underlying problem but rather just throws fuel on the fire of publishers and their mighty monopoly. They are for-profit entities.

A truly effective mandate to shift the paradigm of publishing would be to mandate publication in completely open access journals, not ones that allow it only with an extra fee. Then more and more scientists would shift to these journals inherently raising the influence of completely open access journals.
