As an older worker, I'd say the mistrust issues of younger workers are entirely justified. If that is a problem, corporate management is hoist on its own petard.

If you wanted Gen Y to trust you, you should have treated Gen X better--or at least hidden the mistreatment better.

As for the entitlement, that's probably on their Boomer parents/grandparents. You could shove them down and kick them in the teeth until they become bitter and jaded, just like Gen X. But then you're back to the trust thing again.

So if I may humbly suggest, start treating your older workers better. First, have some to treat better. Then, give them back all the crap that Boomers once enjoyed, but which later got stripped from standard employment arrangements, like actual vacation weeks and sick days, longer-term employment contracts, career ladders without important rungs missing, viable retirement plans, job security, etc.

The younger workers were born into the networked world. They rely on friends and family to judge your company's reputation. And the source of that reputation is largely going to be people that worked for you in the past. Those older people have all been screwed by their employers in one way or another. Kids are usually naive, ignorant, and inexperienced, but they aren't stupid. They see what happens to uncles and cousins and friends of their parents.

Sadly, there's not much an individual manager can do about any of it. Those young workers are coming in expecting to get stabbed in the back, and one day, your CEO or Head of HR will call a meeting and issue you your knife--or maybe your axe. Those kids know it's coming; they have seen it happen over and over again to other people. So maybe validate the mistrust, and admit that the company doesn't care about them. Let them know that the one and only way to keep a job is to be productive enough to pay their own wage, and then some, and that everyone should plan to eventually jump ship near a port, before the captain gets the chance to throw them overboard in the middle of a crossing. Recognize that a mercenary attitude puts self first. That makes the manager's job harder, of course. Why should a mercenary work any harder than necessary to earn the paycheck?

I would (as a non-manager) use discretionary cash bonuses to reward good employee behavior, with intermittent reinforcement. Cultivate trust in you, personally, rather than trust in the company. Punishments and the threat of termination simply won't work. Just put everyone on a secret carrot schedule, and when it comes time for the next reward, set up a plausible reason to hand it over.
It strikes me as something of an "own goal" that the "green belt" in Boulder has had the effect of putting a lot of people in that area out of reach of public transportation or bicycling as viable transportation options, requiring more cars and parking and traffic and pollution. Instead of growing out a little bit (god forbid they build 'up' or 'in'), people just drive even further out.

A pet peeve of mine is the use of the word "unusable" when reporting a behavior which the reporter finds undesirable. Apple is just now doing what Linux has always done. Is Linux unusable?

Keeping your issue reports neutral and avoiding hyperbole is an underrated skill.
Weld county is affordable because it there aren't a lot of jobs there. As people move further and further out for cheaper housing, traffic gets worse and worse. The Front Range is basically like Nebraska: You can basically build in any direction without geographic limits. It that happens, the traffic will be worse than LA as people zig zag across the Front Range to commute to their jobs in different suburbs.

As a Boulder resident (renter), I think Front Range cities need to have a pro-growth mindset to allow people to live closer to their jobs. We shouldn't repeat the same mistakes as LA and Silicon Valley.

> The Washington Post covered Snowden's leaks of unconstitutional actions by the NSA, won a Pulitzer Prize for the coverage, only to then stab him in the back and call for his prosecution.

The product is super cool and useful, although I hope you won't limit it to being a single-user thing because it could actually evolve into an amazing social tool. But I would really lose the word 'manage', it kind of suggests that personal relations are just another kind of task which is apt to make the people being related to feel devalued because they're not important enough to be given space in someone's day-to-day consciousness.

poetic terms that say nothing

?!

If poetic terms say nothing then why is poetry (both literary and lyrical, as in songs) so popular? Social relations are not purely functional or transactional, although they often have those aims or characteristics. Friendship and warm familial relations are based on feelings. I often say that hackers need to develop better emotional intelligence and this is a good example.

Would you take someone on a date and say 'statistics indicate that we have a high degree of socioeconomic compatibility and synergistic aesthetic appeal, suggesting that we should pursue a merger strategy so as to maximize our mutual future advantage?' Most people would prefer to hear something along the lines of 'I love you and want to marry you.'

I understand that your product is aimed at busy people who are invested in their work and want to handle their social relations at least as well as their business ones. But you need to be cognizant of their motivations for doing that; because they like, love and generally care about the people in their lives that lie outside their career. It is that drive which might move someone to start using your product, and you must appeal to that drive, which is an emotional one, in emotional terms.

Incidentally, calling it Monica carries connotations of having an assistant called Monica that helps you remember those little personal obligations and although I'm sure you didn't intend this it gives me a sort of sexist vibe because historically such tasks have often been delegated to stereotypically female subordinates by busy executives (think Pepper Potts in the Iron Man story franchise).

Even though both men and women seem to prefer female identities for things like GPS and virtual assistants, a gendered brand identity like this is likely to limit your appeal to one half of the population straight out of the gate. The brand values you wish to attach to your product are reliability, loyalty, and patience, so it would be worth your while to dig through mythology and fiction in search of characters who are associated with those qualities and then develop variations from any particularly inspiring name stems you encounter so as to leverage those psychic associations.
I'm not sure I could give an in-depth answer, especially under pressure in an interview. What I could do is explain the important bits at a high level:

* how a B-Tree index is structured (and how that affects range queries, and wildcard queries)
* how a query uses a single index per table, or can create a merge index
* how a covering index increases performance
* how composite indexes affect queries, why you don't need an index on both (col-a) and (col-a, col-b)

I don't think its unreasonable to expect a senior developer to know this stuff. It affects your ability to write performant queries against larger (1M - 1B rows) datasets.

Could you link to the study in question? Right off the top of my head it could be that children who are left to sit in front of the TV all day and night do not have actively engaged parents(reading to them, taking interest in their schoolwork, providing stimulating activities etc) which could easily explain their lagging behind the average.
I urge you to look past the suburbs that ring metro areas, and a bit further out.

I've just driven out to Whidbey Island this past weekend - a 70 minute drive from Seattle. Beautiful place. Economically, it's also dying, and not because the people who live there are lazy bastards. If it didn't have a US Navy base, it would be dead. As a young person, you'd be insane to stay there.

In order to feed your uncle and father-in-law, small towns must have something to export.

It could be lumber. It could be coal. It could be applications for social security. It could be people, who work in the city, and live in their community, 40 miles away. But it has to be something.

Small towns that have an export - one big enough to feed all the doctors, cops, plumbers, politicians, realtors, teachers, babysitters, bricklayers, HVAC installers, and other people who bring no money into their economy can do reasonably well for themselves.

Those that don't are in a death spiral, and it won't matter if you replaced every person in them with a skilled contractor overnight.

Its also great to see that no company is too big to be raked over the coals over workplace sexual harassment.
My "out-of-my-ass" answer would be:

My layman's understanding is that indexes are separated data structures with generally fixed size copies of one or more specific fields from the main record sorted to allow efficient searching, that contain offsets into the main record store. That is, it allows you to use that field to find records and index into the main set of data. That said, this is how I have inferred it works, and how I would initially attempt to create a database, given little or no knowledge of the field and not allowed to research.
Design is very simple -- creative work is usually the most time consuming and so what I do is have an aesthetically pleasing yet very simple design.

This depends on the project, but mostly (in no particular order): Node, Python, Angular, Vue, NativeScript, Ionic.

Yes, I most definitely try to write good code -- that statement is an underpromise because code good is simply not the focus.
Switzerland absolutely has factories. Mostly mid/high end mechanical stuff but they are there, and people work in them.
You want to keep "unimportant" (think radio) away from "important" (drive train). Also, there are only so many IDs you can use.
If most of your candidates cannot answer the question, but you would still hire them I would drop the question. Knowledge of when to use an index is more valuable than the specific mechanics of how the index is implemented.

When I want to test database knowledge, I usually give the candidate a simple database schema and ask them to write progressively harder SQL queries. Database modeling questions are also good for teasing out the seniority of a candidate as well.
i think you underestimate the massive amount of backend and internal optimization that's required. Sure, the MVP of Twitter is a few thousand lines of code, but think about ad buying, ad display, abuse detection, customer service, content management, APIs, mobile, mobile web, etc., and that's just on the engineering side of things. For every engineer you'll need business folks, PMs, designers, operations, etc.
No yet, but I plan on creating one. If you sign up to my mailing list on jackkinsella.ie I will announce it there.

Ask HN: Live flight tracking – what gives?
I was (in fact, still am) tracking a flight from Paris to Mumbai in real time - https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/JAI123/history/20170606/0935Z/LFPG/VABB

A few minutes earlier, just off the coast of Mumbai (~ 150 miles out), the tracker showed the flight doing a 360 loop; it still shows on the map at the URL above, and then it resumed on course.

I've tracked flights before, but never encountered anything like this. I wonder what gives.
It's interesting that you chose a book-world table of contents as the analogy for a computer-world index, instead of choosing the book-world index that (I believe) the computer-world index takes its name from :-).

I think your answer is a great one, but that an important thing to point out (which also fits into the analogy) is that an index is a trade off between lookup efficiency vs. storage size (the more words included in a book's index, the more pages it requires) and write efficiency (every time you write a word that is included in the index, you need to go update that word's entry).

Understanding the point of indexes and their implicit trade-offs seems like fair game to me. This sort of read / write / storage size trade-off is relevant to basically all software. Having a sense for the different kinds of indexes and how they are implemented seems like bonus.
Well, I guess what I'm getting at is a clearance is top down CYA, like say I sold 72 M-60 machine guns to MS13 to pay off my gambling debt, and a journalist discovers in 5 minutes that I posted that to twitter before I got my job of working at the armory, and the journalist is going to ask the Commanding General of the post why no one noticed that before I got the job and did exactly what I said I'd do. So thats very top down outside agency approves you.

That's different from bottom up, a supervisor is supposed to handle (aka, fire from job) someone who spouts off about how proud they are to be racist, etc. Nobody ever asked a commanding general "how come you hired someone who flaked out and went nuts" "well, stuff happens". On the other hand its precisely the job of her immediate supervisor in a bottom up fashion to notice she's, well, gone nuts and is saying stuff that opens the company to hostile working environment lawsuits.

I'm not even commenting on her, uh, peculiar belief system, but the mistaken idea about how clearances work.

Clearances are a mix of pre-crime / CYA / shouldda known type stuff.

A direct report going insane in public is totally a supervisor direct report problem.

Clearances also vary a lot over time... 50 years ago the Soviets could bribe a gay guy into giving up secrets... today the gay guy is probably happily married and nobody cares so its no longer a clearance disqualification. On the other hand I can't imagine any scenario in the history of business where an employee stating in public that they hate the race of their CEO and some managers and coworkers would result in anything but firing, like forever pretty much everywhere.

Someday, after we stop punishing people for it, I imagine weed use will no longer be a clearance issue. How do you extort someone for secrets because they're a casual user of a cool legal substance? I suspect it'll never be acceptable in any workplace to ever say in public "I hate (some level of manager) because he's a (insert race here)"
You stated:

Mark my words: In 15 years time, the Salesforce.org meddling in Education will be a "Poster Child" study in Hubris outside of one's field of expertise. It will not work. Education is inherently time wasted by way of learning, and as a species, Humans are far too diverse for the grand dreams of utopian schooling. I mean, sure Utopian Schooling is possible but it's incredibly intrusive, Homogenized, and reductive - all of which projects like this try to pretend aren't fundamentally necessary.

Do I have a better plan? I do. Research backed.

Want a hint? Every child should have Music Instruction two times per week for at least one hour per session. That would do more than any stupid spreadsheet or Board Room review. I know, because Research backs it up. Not this..."venture" of sorts.
Don't handle them. Regardless of age. Pick out the worst and get rid of them. You may find the troubles with the others diminish.

Being fired once or twice in life is a character building experience. It often makes you re-assess your worth and take work more seriously. And later, as a person becomes (potentially) a manager, they realize the ego crush that is being fired and treat with respect, unlike "kid" managers who haven't been through the process and fire without understanding, sometimes for little more than an ego boost.

Also, removing impediments to the common goal is necessary for an organization to thrive.

Everyone eventually has to grow up. But it's a confusing world right now. There isn't anything to trust because we know so much more. And the school system has been preaching unrealistic pablum which gets under the skin after a bit.

Sometimes it takes a hard knock or two to understand the underlying nature of commerce and human interaction. Unfortunately, (like germophobe moms) we have made a bad habit of deferring these essential lessons thus weakening the ability to deal with the very real, very dirty world.

So for those two reasons, don't feel bad, don't try to fix and don't coddle. It won't work anyway.
Here's Recode's version, which is just as slim as Bloomberg's: https://www.recode.net/2017/6/6/15747446/uber-fires-20-emplo...

Fox and Breitbart have both lost key leaders due to death. (and other causes) They are both rapidly transitioning to the views of typical reporters (journalism majors), which will soon put them on the left. Breitbart has even started firing people who are strongly toward the right.

One America News Network is still on the right. It probably isn't moving... yet.

It's rather hard to operate a non-left media outlet when nearly all potential employees are far left. It's like standing in a stream, trying to push the water back upward with a rake. Good luck with that.
No...you get sent home.

Let me give a concrete example here, direct from experience.

Florida DOC mandates you must do 85% of your prison (not jail...all jails have different gain time schemes just to make it really confusing) sentence, so that is roughly 5 days a month.

Lets say you score out to 22 months like I was many years ago...thats a total of 110 potential gain-time days off my sentence...great I think almost 4 months!

BUT...let's say I did 13 months in jail waiting for sentencing so I only have to do 9 more in prison.

In most prison systems, I would NOT be able to recover all my potential gain-time because the 13 months county-time did not count for my prison gain time, and perhaps I would only get 9*5 or 45 days gain-time against my sentence.

Get it?
You should be able to do both with far fewer than 12,000 people. I suspect that the bulk of those people are doing something else.
Security (or safety) is one reason for multiple CAN buses. Another is saturation of the bus (too many messages).
In your second paragraph, are you referring to the redactions? The document contains quotes like this:

"Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate actors … executed cyber espionage operations against a named U.S. company in August 2016, evidently to obtain information on elections-related software and hardware solutions."

which seem to directly tie it to GRU.
I was asked that question in my recent interview, and I told them that beyond the basics of the intent for using the index and some basic commonalities, it's hard to explain the details of how it works due to the fact:

1) All RDBMS vendors work differently.
2) It's an abstraction that's best handled by the RDBMS implementation, and is bound to change over time as versions change.
Yes, it seems very political that they chose EH. Most people see his name, and think "oh if they hired him, they must be trying to do the RIGHT thing".
As in they were universally accessible, not that everyone should go to one. I.e. not just education for the rich, education for the smart.
> Is there? I've seen people claim this but I haven't seen any evidence for it.

As another point of evidence, they just fired 20 people for sexual harassment to address 215 separate claims before the separate outside report into the amount of sexual harassment in their company. Maybe they don't deserve your skepticism.
Exactly. Just like Detroit will always be the global epicenter of the automotive industry /s. A lot can change in 50 years.
No she didn't. Please stop repeating this claim.

She signed up for an email subscription from her personal gmail, on her work computer.

That would certainly have been enough to raise her superiors' hackles when discovered, but the result would have been her getting fired, not indicted.

The bottom line is having a personal subscription to the Intercept was not ever going to be enough to build a case against her. You repeating that claim is victim blaming, and more importantly, wrong.
This is way beyond MVP, looks like it is started way back in 2014.
Oh interesting. I left the car industry when flexray was the newest bus available and MOST wast only used by Audi (for their backseat screens or some such entertainment systems).
The problem with flexray was that it was supposed to be reliable with redundant cabling, but manufacturers immediately turned around to use redundancy to double the bandwidth.

>Seems risky to hire a recent Uber employee at this point because bringing a toxic sexist into the company can inflict massive damage.

Jesus. They are still people. You want to ostracize them from all society and prevent them from earning a living in their chosen career?

'Sexual harassment' is also a catch-all term that can encompass all kinds of actions. It could involve a clueless, inexperienced 20-something asking out his co-worker and misreading her signals - fuck that guy right? Throw him out of society and forget him forever, right?

And I have yet to see any evidence for this "toxic sexist" atmosphere that apparently is part of the Uber culture. This isn't it. 20 people were fired out of 12,000.
