Uber CEO to take leave of absence
Uber's Chief to Take Leave of Absence
Because Mt. Gox is a corporation organized under the laws of Japan. Corporations in Japan can own many things of value, such as hotels, laser printers, intellectual property rights, Alpha Black lotuses, swiss francs, and promises to be paid in the future... but all of these things exist, on their books, with a yen value next to them.

In the event of a bankruptcy or civil rehabilitation (民事再生, which is what Gox is going through IIRC), creditors generally get paid out in yen, not in cement mix, even if the company only happens to own cement mix.
You have repeatedly made this assertion, but you have made no effort to substantiate it.

(I am not the person you are replying to, but) I have actually offered myself as an example in this discussion, which has been repeatedly pissed on. I am the top ranked woman on HN, in spite of never having had a tech job. When I still had relatively little karma, I was noticing that men on the leaderboard were closing ranks and things were getting what felt kind of ugly on my end. I was getting remarks that suggested to me that I was "prominent" for a woman here. I gathered data to verify that and soon concluded that I was rather high ranking for a woman, in spite of my low score.

I have worked really hard to move certain people out of my way without turning it into a fight and to participate in good faith and so on. I am noticing in recent months that other women are benefitting from the changes here, which weren't simply wrought by me, it is far more complicated than that.

Of course, I have known lots of people in life who will simply dismiss whatever I have accomplished with some convenient explanation like "survivor bias" or "that's just your opinion" or even "It is wild coincidence, stranger things have happened." People seem to basically believe what they already believe. Confirmation bias seems to make most people interpret all events through the lens of their current mental models and getting people to consider others is quite hard.

I did not originally set out to become anyone of influence on Hacker News, but after discovering that I had fairly high rank for a woman in spite of zero ambition, I decided to run with it. And I went from something silly like 4k karma to currently above 19k karma in probably a shorter time than it took me to get that original 4k. Furthermore, I no longer see men on the leaderboard routinely closing ranks to exclude me and things like that. The atmosphere has changed and without a battle.

I am expecting this comment of mine to also be torn apart and pissed on, which is par for the course for this type of comment. Nonetheless, I am leaving it "for the record" in hopes that it causes some people to think, even though it is highly unlikely to change your mind at all.

I would hope that the future of education is not plain text and lectures! Computers can generate powerful methods of interaction. Why limit them to being worse than physical paper?
Yep, if the external mount is large.

However, it's a little different for an fs system that can quickly (w/o network-speed limits) generate recursive fs structures.

for example, what if a created a vfs that created a 'foo' folder, with a 'foo' folder inside, and so on. The system would crawl an infinite descent of /foo/foo/foo/foo... and so on, which would eventually fill some cache or another.

Regarding job applications: when hiring people the first applications we send to the bin are generic ones. I really despise them because we get so many of them. We spend so much of time reading applications that if an applicant can't have the courtesy of writing a personal email it really leaves a sour taste.

So to actually answer your question - when applying, write why you are interested in the job. Make it at least sound like you know what the company you're applying to does. Ask questions about the job. If it's just some generic "I'm good at this and that" we'll just throw it in the bin even if you seem to have the skills.
Parsing semistructured text as markup is a problem solved over 30 years ago [1].

SGML has the SHORTREF feature which allows custom Wiki syntaxes such as markdown, but also casual math. It works by applying a context-dependent (parent element dependent) mapping of tokens (such as the `_` token for markdown emphasis) to replacement text (eg. the `<b>` start-element tag). Within the `<b>` context, the `_` token is mapped to the `</b>` end-element tag, in turn, ending the emphasis. In combination with tag omission/inference (such as in HTML) and other markup minimization and processing features, SGML is a quite powerful plain text document authoring format.

It doesn't matter. If you look at the IIHS categories, it doesn't make a distinction between crossover and SUV.

The distinction between Crossover and SUV are mostly marketing and some technical differences. Mostly, the underpinning of a crossover is a unibody platform, whereas SUVs are generally body on frame. However that technical distinction is also marketing driven.

I can't recall the exact numbers, but it has to do with the amount of storage volume with the rear seats up vs. down.

That's how Chrysler "hacked" CAFE -- they tweaked the size of the PT Cruiser such that it was counted as an SUV. That then allowed them to sell a boatload of higher margin trucks without having to pay the gas guzzler tax.
Yeah, considering one presumes this is a screening test, the sensitivity is a catastrophe: a negative result means you have no idea if you have cancer or not. You spent money that could have been better spent on just about anything else (composting the dollars, for instance).

Both fair points.

Also remember that by the time she killed the WFH policy, Yahoo had been circling the drain for a long time. When your best folks can easily find new/better jobs, they do; and you're left with a company full of people who are having a hard time finding anything else. It's one thing to kill a successful WFH policy at a thriving company; it's another entirely to do it with a company that is having problems.
Uber internal investigation report by Covington and Burling
Apple's New Thing (iPod) (2001)
Uber clearly has massive issue internally so far as culture; while it's not as large of a problem as the obvious economic and labor issues of having a non-automated fleet, it's giving up a wicked stink that is causing talented employees to flee. That is a very difficult spiral to get out of.

I'm not sure what TK leaving does to stem that, but obviously I'm sure the decision is partly, if not mostly due to the tragedy involving his family. On that front, I wish him peace but on everything else, he's been behind the wheel (heh) of what appears to be a pretty toxic company, both in terms of culture and the balance sheet.
You forgot to guestimate the number of flags.
Obligatory SV-centric question: can anyone who's worked in both Australia and in the U.S. tech scenes share their experiences comparing both?
>Immigrants contribute a lot more than they consume.

Some do. Many don't. And even among those that do contribute more than they consume, it seems very unlikely that the contributions and the drawbacks would be distributed evenly throughout the population. Some people will be made better off by their presence, and others (perhaps even a greater number, but totaling a smaller dollar value) will be made worse off. Do you disagree with that?

>The problem is that this country's laws hate and despise skilled and educated immigrants.

I don't lock my doors because I hate the people outside. I lock my doors because I want to protect the people inside.

>And he was rejected (lost the H1B lottery) twice, thanks to the US skilled immigration policy.

Right, but do you deny that many companies make enormous amounts of money off of the H1B programs and that they can bring down salaries of the local people that compete with their labor? Do you deny that people that come in via H1B are less likely to have loyalty to this country and its people?

>Which is a far cry from what is morally right.

Whether it's morally right or not depends on what moral system you're using to evaluate it. I can pick one that says what I want just as easily as you can.

>people that are peaceful/non-voilent

How do you know their descendants will be peaceful and non-violent, and that their interests and those of their descendants will tightly overlap with the interests of the current population and their descendants?

Why would the current inhabitants want to let people in if they don't have strong reason to believe that the interests of the immigrants and their descendants will strongly align with the interests of the current inhabitants and their descendants?
Agreed, and most people don't realize that this stuff almost "can't" be upgraded because the initial vendor back in the late 80's or early 90's specified a specific tech stack in the contract and any upgrading or even application of OS patches would legimitately violate any warranties and liabilities the original vendor has for their work. This is super time-critical physical process code commonly running on operating systems like Win95 or Win3.1 that were never intended to be real time operating systems and whose behavior could change radically if a patch were installed.

The cost and complexity of designing and tuning the process control software, and the lack of the detailed design calculations involved in figuring out what it needed to be written to do 20 or 30 years ago makes replacing that old tech stack nearly equivalent to replacing the entire installation.

> Company stock is an asset that belongs to the company and that company is owned by shareholders.

I think this is the key to the confusion: seeing the shareholders as the true "owners" (and therefore controllers) of a corporation is, more and more, associated with socialist undertones: people recognize in phrases like "the shareholders are more important than the CEO" the sentiments of people who call for labor unions and co-ops, which want to assert not only employee shareholdership, but also shareholder primacy.

The current form of "capitalism" that exists in most Western countries, has a corporate structure that's a bit like the Bureaucracy of ancient China: we have self-perpetuating Boards of Directors that—while being nominated by the voting shareholders—also control the opinions of the same shareholders. Where the ideal corporation would be a "representative democracy of the shareholders", the current structure is more akin to a "plutocracy of the directors."

This is the hidden war that is being fought using the proxy of "CEO pay": Board-of-Directors-plutocracy corporate-model-ists like cronyist CEOs that are in their own pocket, doing things that serve the board in particular at the expense of the shareholders generally. They're willing to pay high premiums for this—and, also, when the CEO "comes from" their stock, to throw money at them "just because" (hoping they'll get their own turn to be thrown money at later on.)

Meanwhile, the representative-democracy corporate-model-ists resent CEOs that have any sort of elevated position; they see a CEO as a necessary evil—a general and strategist to serve with skilled experience their civilian representative who does not have those skills. To them, the CEO isn't a buddy, but rather a risk to be managed—a sort of genie, who the board (as the trusted elect) must do its best to keep in its bottle, even as they demand wishes from them.

Each side of this confrontation calls the other "anti-capitalist." But, as I hope should be obvious, neither of these sides really represents "capitalism" per se. Instead, one values the sort of concentration of wealth and power that anarchocapitalism enables; while the other side values the power of the corporate charter in an almost patriotic way.
To offer one alternative explanation. It could be that the victim had some app on their phone which was logging SMS. The exploit may have involved sending the SMS code to the phone and forwarding it to the attacker. It's possible there was no exploit on Uber's side at all. We don't have enough information to know one way or the other.

I'm not sure why you're suddenly restricting your "two cars per family" point to the city downtown cores alone.

But sure - if we change frames then both city downtown cores are either easily walkable or extremely accessible via public transportation, hence ceteris paribus neither family (living in the downtown core) in their respective cities would require more cars than the other.
I'm really not talking about something lengthy. But I get 100s of applications for every job post I publish. Most people who apply are frankly not qualified. If you are qualified, write a few sentences. "Hey, I saw your post for [...]. I thought this looked great for me because I have worked on [...] and I am super excited to learn more about [....]".

I am not asking for paragraphs, but show me you are interested. I honestly spend hours writing and reviewing the jobs I post and it takes probably 100+ hours total from a team to hire a person. We want to hire you, but you've got to help us. :)

I am of the opinion that Ms. Mayer was hired partly as a way for Yahoo's investors to hedge their bets [1]. Its a bit of a dark view on silicon valley culture, perhaps, but I think a valid one.

Anyways, I agree with your point that Yahoo had already suffered most of its damage. In many ways, its latest CEO did the best that could be expected of anyone in that position.

>Background checks put unnecessary strain on honest citizens.

I live in New York state. I'm an honest citizen, and I've never been in any more trouble than a broken tail light. It took 11 months for my pistol permit to be approved, and yet there was no "strain". It was literally something I applied for and forgot about until the sheriff called to do my in-home interview, which is also required here to get your permit. Somehow it wasn't the end of the world, because I, like most people, don't actually have a "need" for guns. The only thing that bothered me about the wait is that it doesn't apply to every state.

And no, home defense isn't a need; it's an excuse. Guns are fun. Dangerous, but fun, and that's why people get them in 2017. Any other reason you or others give is a rationalization based on anecdotes of home invasions that will probably never occur in your lifetime.
Can confirm. My wife was refused state sponsorship for "lack of jobs demand". She has a PhD (and master) in computational chemistry and molecular modelling, and works in her sector. I work with financial software, we both make pretty decent money. If Victoria doesn't want us, I'm not sure whether they want anyone at all.
As for MS, Ballmer laid that foundation. Nadella is capitalizing, but MS is mostly capitalizing on it's position and not so much offering a ground breaking direction.
To be fair republishing would have been really quick and saw the issue occur again which may have helped diagnose the issue. Unfortunately no one ever states how it was published or what versions / systems were used. node has had multiple different issues with running and doing things properly on Windows over the various releases; if it was stated earlier that Windows was used to publish I think people would have immediately started looking at that (I know I would have; anytime a friend of mine has an issue with node or npm that's the first thing I ask).

I know macOS is a popular system to do node development on but the node folks, at least seem to, forget Windows exists.

Also to be fair, a lot of them looked like complete assholes
Based on this quote:

"If we are going to work on Uber 2.0, I also need to work on Travis 2.0 to become the leader that this company needs and that you deserve," Kalanick wrote in an email obtained by BuzzFeed News. "During the interim period, the leadership team, my directs, will be running the company."

It appears he is leaving more due to the issues with uber then him mom dying, but I am sure it contributed.
I grew up in a small town in central California. High School in the early 80's - lots of kids from ag/ranching backgrounds would park their trucks in the school parking lot with a rifle or shotgun hanging in a rack in the back window. I don't recall anyone being particularly bothered by that practice or any problems relating to it.

Same town, different era: My 12 year old nephew received a poor grade and "this is terrible!" written on his essay by his teacher because "What I did last weekend" recapped target shooting with his dad and grandpa at the range.
We do for the most part. We might hire a number of people from the same position, but we typically write a post for each type of position or team.

Even at Microsoft this was often the case - of course there was a generic template, but you would put specifics to the role.
Didn't people said the same thing about iPhone, that Apple would fail if they enter in the already oversaturated phone market and they should stick with what they do best instead?
I completely agree that code writing speed is not the important metric.

However, keyboard shortcuts can still be very useful for the tasks of testing and debugging. Consider the problem of stepping through many lines of code, or copy-pasting data from one place to another in order to run a test.

Lastly, when you know what you want to write (or refactor) it helps if the input system just fast enough that you can keep your sensation of flow. This part is probably highly variable among individuals.
> If you replace Marissa Mayer with a generic CEO, and Yahoo did just as badly under that CEO, there might be just as much anger and/or contempt.

But Yahoo was doing a much worse job before she got there! How many articles have you seen on HN about Scott Thompson? About Carol Bartz? About Terry Semel?
The newscaster did mention that he hasn't been at work since the incident, spending time instead with his dad. It's a challenging time for anyone going through this, even if he's overseen some questionable things at his company.
