There are many facets to this backlash (if indeed there is one). At the most fundamental level nobody disputes that women have a right to the same kind of respect that men receive (including not being harassed), or that women have a right to the same opportunities as men do.

But the devil is in the details. For example, there are a lot of insane ideas thrown around as to how to fix the problem. There are people who argue accusations of harassment should not only be taken seriously (which everyone agrees with) but also be automatically taken as true regardless of their veracity and verifiability, and with the the social, personal and professional cost suffered by those accused being an irrelevant detail.

Second, is this is a Silicon Valley problem, or every-industry problem? How are women treated in the NY Times newsroom compared to Google compared to GM? This is always side-stepped or is treated in a sloppy manner. This sloppiness is evident in the original NY Times article which profiled personal experiences of a number of women in tech with no attempt to verify the claims or set it in a wider context. In the most memorable example, Dave McClure was outed by name in the article for asking one of the women out as she was applying for a position of at his company. Unprofessional? Yes. Creepy? Yes. But that crime relative to the public shaming in an international newspaper read by millions, isn't justified. The irony of that specific case is that there were more egregious examples of McClure's conduct that may actual warrant this public shaming, but that would require some actual journalism.

Because their name stands for INTegrated ELectronics and they just failed at it.

Agreed, not disputing that, just trying to analyze the reasons behind the failure.

Indeed. But it's a shame that speaking out has to be perceived as dangerous at all. And it's a shame that until now the tone of discussion has been sufficiently defensive and denialist that misbehavior has been perceived as acceptable and something certain people can get away with.

I think you've mostly answered your own question.

To some extent, Amazon presumably creates new sales (and hence new jobs in production) but this is almost certainly offset by the jobs it destroys (middlemen of various kinds).

AWS might have greater ripple effects (enabling new tech companies) but they themselves aren't large employers.

Yes. It's called a web browser.

Mary Mazzio:

"...But the thing that shocked me most about making this film was that those guys who ran Backpage, back in the day they were rabble-raising libertarians, yet, at some point, my view is that maybe the money became so outrageously intoxicating, perhaps there was this notion that the sale of children was simply collateral damage.”

I'm a little unclear about what she was expecting. To my knowledge, libertarians are not find of enforcing their morals on others.

‘I’m a creep’: Tech boss Dave McClure resigns after harassment claims
I like mini-itx systems and have a very nice mini-itx htpc myself but it is not because I need an Intel CPU.

UHD blows out any dual-core CPU (maybe quad can do it?) so dedicated hardware is an absolute necessity for that.

Even if you could decode video in software the power efficiency is so much worse than using dedicated hardware that it is really impractical.

I am using the video decoder on an Nvidia GTX-1060 and I am paying a huge price for a lot of wasted hardware in order to get access to that. And I am forced to use Windows anyway since I can't get Kodi to sync the refresh rate properly on Linux and a couple hours of wasted time trying to fix that is the limit of my patience.

IMO fixed hardware based on ARM (which costs about $100 vs $1000+) is obviously the better solution for price/performance on video.

What I am paying for is the aesthetic (HDPLEX HD5 case) and the enjoyment of having something I built myself, not technical superiority.
Plus you have a bunch of people who essentially defended him with all the talk of how social settings can be confusing and we all make mistakes and we're not robots and bladiblah. I bet a lot of them will either ignore this or just double down.
Does this logic apply to ISPs facilitating piracy? Phone networks allowing illegal protests to be organized? Operating system vendors letting criminals hide behind encryption?

Finally, letting child sex traffickers post ads online seems like a very easy way for the police to find them. Why are we ignoring the fact that, by doing nothing, Backpage would have made the rescue of the kids easier?
That is not at all what options are.
One of the big issues is that as soon as you delve into content-censoring, then the law makes you liable for everything (from child abuse to libel). The law takes an all-or-nothing approach.

For example, think about what YouTube would be like if every video had to be manually vetted by a real person before it was uploaded.

That said, if someone points out illegal things happening on your site (e.g. the mother pointing out the photos of her 13-year-old daughter), and you still do nothing, that is an issue.
Oof. Penny-wise, pound-sociopathic. I wonder how high up this went? I mean, "management" could be just a low-level moderation supervisor barely above the "moderator" role themselves, or could be somebody just under the C-levels.

"On successful login two cookies will be created:

jwt - A "JSON Web Token" (JWT) containing profile information and the respective access tokens (Twitter/etc). http-only!
profile - A JSON string which containing non-sensitive information (accessible from browser JS):
username - string / mandatory, the account specific user alias (e.g. Twitter name) - photo - string / optional, the account specific user image link
name - string / optional, the "real" name

"
This looks like just enough rope to hang oneself. If you check only the profile variable it could easily be set by the user herself. So I guess you need to check the jwt.
I guess it makes more sense if this would be run as reverse proxy so the cookies can't be tampered with.
I'd wager google can do it for free + the click-data + images to train their AI. Surprising they haven't done it yet.

I've never seen a graph or attempt of proof that SV has an issue any worst than normal society.

There is denialism and lack of objectivity going on, but I'm not sure you get what side it is.

Until we see the science, many of us think articles like these specifically blaming the Valley are just tabloid fodder.
Amazon does not caches these images? This is surprising.
I paraphrase, only because the exact quote was pretty long:

In situations where men make initial inquiries and the woman turns it down, but does not cut all contact with him forevermore, men seem to pretty consistently interpret this as "she actually likes me and is playing hard to get."

Perhaps your intent was more nuanced than your literal text. Either way, men in general do not "consistently" keep pursuing after rejection, just because the female doesn't cut them out of their lives altogether.
On a related note, I've recently had two UK banks request more personal documents from me, and a video, for anti-fraud or anti-laundering, blah, blah reasons. When, not if, they get hacked, the intruders will have even greater ability to abuse my identity. Data protection acts are barking up the wrong tree - what we need are data limitation acts to require corporations to store as little data as possible.
So it doesn't conflict with any of the stuff you might've written yourself already to deal with redis (which, presumably, you named the stuff you've written `redis`). Besides, you can just namespace the thing at the top.
Not to mention shorewall, which IMO provides a really nice abstraction over iptables, that fits 90% of the needs out there.
If confirmed, the demand for $399 per year puts Photobucket solidly in the ransom price range. Renting a web server with ample space and bandwidth is much less expensive.
"I have been using your site for 10+ years [...] You are extortionists. You are EVIL"

And in those 10 years, how much did you pay for this service?
Your premise is entirely wrong.

GM has positive $37 billion in net tangible assets. That has climbed from $27b, to $33.9b, to $37b over the last three fiscal years. Their net balance sheet is not only improving, it's dramatically in the positive.

To go with that, they have $24 billion in cash and are currently capable of earning around $12 billion in net income on an annualized basis (meaning they can easily afford the debt they have just on an income basis).

GM's balance sheet is in dramatically better shape compared to market capitalization vs Tesla. To make matters worse for Tesla, they're still bleeding immense red ink vs sales, having to regularly either raise debt or dilute shareholders to keep operating (GM doesn't have that problem, and doesn't need to eat its balance sheet to operate). That by itself tells you everything you need to know about Tesla vs GM when it comes to balance sheet vs market cap.

Tesla is worth more than GM for one reason: the potential to one day be more profitable than GM, namely that enough shareholders are buying into that premise.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

I'm in a similar boat. That's just how a lot of people I know communicate. Sure they have other ways to communicate, but they don't want to.
If I watch this slide, I'm not going to take it to the letter. Only an idiot would. "bigger is better" ? You take that phrase seriously in a corporate slide ? It's clearly an attempt to humor. I get you don't find that funny. I just don't get how shocked everyone is.

Then you'll be sweaty for 10 minutes until it dries. If more people bike, you'll have an easy time convincing your employer to provide showers.

> What if it is too cold to be outside for long?

Pedal faster. It will warm you up and you you won't be outside as long. Double win. Also, wear appropriate clothing. Unless we're talking about Winnipeg or something where you get frostbite within 5 minutes, cold air will not hurt you.

> What if you need to take a child with you? Or two people from out of town? What about bringing back furniture from ikea? How do you leave the city and go out to the surrounding area?

Zipcar or other car-sharing services if you absolutely need a car. Uber and Lyft are also options. They make child seats for bikes and special bikes that can easily carry 2 small children.

> What if you need to get somewhere faster than a bike can take you?

For any bikeable distance in a city, the bike is almost always faster than driving.
That's true for almost all cryptosystems. I mentioned Tails which is pretty much the state of the art as far as securing the endpoint goes.

> We need another solution here.

We already have, it's called pay for your own bandwidth.

Alternatives: use a CDN (also not without drawbacks but a lot better than an image host) and yet another one is to accept that these companies will die every couple of years but as long as the average internet pages rots as fast or faster as the image hosts disappear it isn't a huge problem, most of those images have limited freshness anyway, the few that are evergreen and that will continue to be linked from supported pages could be re-uploaded from some kind of cache.
"...presented as being there to prevent the appearance of favoritism..."

FWIW, I've been through sexual harassment awareness training 4 times at 3 companies. Part of settlement agreements when some yahoo screwed up (again).

My legal takeaway was the liability, to the company and to the harasser.

My personal takeaway is "Just don't."

I like clear boundaries, so that life is (more) predictable. There's some quote about "The mere appearance of conflict of interest is a conflict of interest." If there's the smallest doubt, anything less than a "Yes!", then the answer is a "No." Sure, I probably missed opportunities. But I'd rather be a dim bulb than a creepy stalker.

Intel's entire business is based on high margins. Trying to take that orientation and apply it to low-margin markets like mobile and IOT has been a complete failure for them.

I don't think they actually care (yet) because a few billions is peanuts to them as long as they have their high margin business but the wolves are at the door.

AMD is actually much better positioned because they have gone through a very painful restructuring and reorientation toward a business model that works with low-margins and they now seem to be coming out the other side.

Intel will eventually have to go through the same restructuring and it will be even more painful for them because they have a lot further to fall.
For those missing it - "kolpa" is slang in Turkish for a fake thing - widely applicable. It could be a con, or a fake person (a bullshitter), or just something that's a bad substitute for the original, like a "SQNY" brand walkman knockoff. Allegedly from the Italian "Colpo".

Can't come up with anything on the spot. But sometimes I see text I wrote and think why I put "a" or "the" instead of vice versa. Sometimes it's just not clear enough wether this item is specific enough or not.

On the other hand, I omit article completely more frequently than using a wrong one. I find I have to consciously think if I should use an article and which article should I use. When I write/talk quickly without double checking, shit happens. Even after using English a lot for 2 decades, articles is just a foreign feature that I have to use consciously.
Clearly Facebook "can". The judge ruled that they "may".
My feeling is that I may be able to take my talents elsewhere (even to my own company) and make a competing (or even completely different) product and take home a bigger slice, so you better make it worthwhile for me to stay at your company if you want those talents. I happen to work for a company that pays significantly higher that $150k, so it's not an issue at the moment, but it's always in the back of my mind.

Cache? I'm surprised they let people link to images not hosted on their system in the first place. Speed, etc.? There's gotta be zero benefit to end users to have non-Amazon hosted images.

It also means, apparently, Photobucket would have a lot of info on which listings are popular, eh?
Google already cache a large chunk of the images in their image search. The expensive bit of image hosting is really the abuse detection ...

> How did we end up with a digital economy dominated by a few big players? The simplest explanation focuses on what are called network effects

The simplest explanation is that antitrust enforcement started to lag in the '80s and became seriously deficient after 2000. Electricity, oil, telephony also had network effects.
Those all seem to be single-widget relatively simple benchmarks.

What happens in an app with multiple views on screen into the same state and multiple pieces of data updating at once is much more interesting.

Remember most of these frameworks are aimed at things that are far more 'web application' than 'web site'.
> “I called Backpage dozens of times asking them to take down those photos, that my daughter was just a child and that what had been done to her was a crime,” says Kubiiki. “They refused and said if I didn’t pay for it, they couldn’t take it down. In the end they just stopped returning my calls.”

Man, I get the argument for free speech, but at least donate the profit from those listings to charity, and respond with empathy & take listings down when the actual mother calls you. He's already been arrested - literally nobody benefits from it staying up.

That's still a place I wouldn't want to be in, but at least you can argue a couple benefits like e.g. being able to catch some of the traffickers that would otherwise have gone deeper underground.

Historically, creating Warmaiden mothers whose life goal is to take you down ends badly. It's the only reason the Senate even cared about the issue.

Anyone can hack into your conversations after Skype update?
My friend updated Skype on her phone. I called her from my comp Skype when she was in a shower. Her new Skype got connected without her pressing any buttons and I head everything what was going in her room (TV)! I called 3 times and it happened every time! Seems that everyone can connect to your new Skype on your phone without your permission and hear all your conversations? What is going on? What they did? What for? When I told her about it she turned off her phone and we talked by comp Skype. BTW she lives outside of the US. It's dangerous for everyone, especially for businesses, and also for kids! I do not know what kind of phone she has.

Amazon and Ebay should consider paying some multiple of the $399/year Photobucket is asking to remove these messages on their websites. After all, they are benefiting from the free image hosting, too. That could be a better business model for an image hosting site than charging end users, too.
Imgur has already started doing it, just not all the way. They redirect direct image links to the framed version of the image, and they have a growing blacklist of sites that aren't allowed to embed images, including ebay, codepen [1], and probably others.

This seems reasonable for Photobucket, eBay/Amazon shouldn't have let people host images on 3rd party sites.
I think people are assuming that most sysadmins won't enter their sudo passwords into random prompts (not necessarily a sound assumption). From there, one easy way to get root that most people understand/know is to have physical access to the machine.
