> With my coding errors I often jest that these are 'deliberate mistakes' there to just see if anyone is paying attention. I have also joked before now that there is 'one deliberate mistake' in there to check that people are doing the testing properly.

If I was your manager, I'd have an issue with this. Testers are there to methodically work through the code, acceptance test, and so on.

Not to play "find the possibly invisible needle in the haystack that the dev claims exists as his way of showing they're doing their job right". That's called a wild goose chase.
On top of that, we even have some that are formally verified or validating that could be tied into Rust.

Keep your dependencies under check
The author of this article is both dishonest and hopelessly naive. He's redefined war to mean "conquest" and "winning" to mean "come out ahead financially", which isn't always or even usually the point of war.

And even if it was he's still wrong. Land itself has value, and with sufficient brutality you can still "win". The fact that we haven't seen a war like that since 1945 in the developed world doesn't mean it's not going to happen again. Hitler planned to basically kill everyone to the east of Germany and replace them with Germans. That would have been "winning" by any definition of the word.
I don't remember getting to play Everquest indefinitely.

As well as inflation, and all manner of other totally irrelevant concepts.
I agree with you. I think we're simply going around in circles because English is weird.

People who have not yet been found guilty are presumed to be innocent. You are absolutely correct. However, the statement I disagreed with was different. It was "If someone is found "not guilty" of murder then legally that person has not committed murder." Legally, that person is presumed innocent, like everyone else, but being found not guilty grants no special "definitely didn't commit murder" status.
> Proving you do not have or support Free Speech, you support "Reasonably Restricted Speech" which is not the same thing

See, this is exactly what I said. I didn't need to build a strawman. You did it for me.

I'm free to run down the street swinging your fists, but if I swing my fist into someone's face and break their nose, that's bad. I think we can all agree on that, right? What if I told you that swinging my fists was a form of "artistic expression", or was part of my religion? Should I be free to express myself at the expense of the rest of society?
> I should add that civil courts in the US will award damages for libel to victims, regardless of the 1st amendment.

Since the threshold for libel in the US is higher than at common law specifically because of First Amendment restrictions, “despite the existence of” would be more accurate than “regardless of”.

(This is a minor correction; your broader point is valid.)
Probably those articles were [dead] in addition to being [flagged] and you don't have 'showdead' (described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) set to 'yes' in your profile.
> It seems the greater question is, "What is the employer paying for?"

I would argue that in the US, at least in the CS/IT industry, the answer to this has been perverted into "all work you can be coerced into producing."

Viz lack of overtime, non-competes, right to all work product, non-set-hours, etc

It's almost like capital owners subconsciously realized that technology was likely to be the last place where skilled workers had leverage... and acted to tilt the rewards in their favor as much as possible...
Attention of people currently inside the community doing outreach and outside the community is finite. In analysis of their outreach efforts, I'd hope that they would know what the trade-offs are. I don't. Hence the question.

For me, both the assertion that no opportunity costs exist and the assertion that the/a top problem faced by an upstart systems language is the lack of representation in their community of people with attributes orthogonal to language development strain credulity.

O'Reilly Media stops selling individual books
I just got this -- I think this is terrible news because I doubt any other retailer has the entire, DRM free selection of O'Reilly:

Things are changing at the O'Reilly online shop—as of today, we are no longer selling individual books and videos via shop.oreilly.com. Of course, we'll continue to publish books and videos on the topics you need to know, like data science, product management, and leadership—and you'll still be able to buy them at Amazon and other retailers. And these important things about your O'Reilly account are staying exactly the same:

* You'll still have access to every ebook and video listed in "Your Products" on your O'Reilly account page.

* We'll alert you when those products are updated, and you can download the revised version from the "Your Products" page.

* You can still send the O'Reilly ebooks you've purchased to Dropbox and/or Google Drive.
Sounds interesting. So the point is you can buy it any time, and it will get used when you miss it. Not just for specific day in advance?

I would love to see this feature in.

Did you try any other apps for learning languages? I am learning with Memrise at the moment but I didn't really try anything else because it seems to work.

Sadly, it helps.

The guy in my former group who complained a lot and would push back to the management heavily was the one the manager respected the most.

The problem is: His complaints were often ridiculous and did not have merit - no one was fooled by them - not even the manager who usually ignored his complaints.

But his behavior (regardless of the content) was used unintentionally as a measure of how engaged the employee is and how much he cared about the work (complete BS - the employee was a good friend of mine and I knew him well).

This isn't just my view of the world. The manager essentially told me this.

Now of course, he was a pretty poor manager, but I do believe that unless a manager actively guards against these kinds of judgments, they will be the default.

Keeping a secret is not necessarily unethical, deception is (with the same caveats as above). For instance, your employer isn't ethically obligated to tell you how much money your co-workers make. However, if they do tell you, they are ethically obligated to tell you the truth.

In this case, the author has told the employer that they are doing this work in a certain way. They are continuing to lie about it in ongoing way by intentionally including mistakes to make it look as if they did it by hand. This is unethical deception.

If the author truly believed that the employer didn't care, then keeping it a secret would not be unethical. But clearly this is not the case.
I guess the question is: Why is the ethicalness of this action a consideration at all? It's an economic transaction.

If enter into an exclusive deal to sell the number of widgets I make in a month for a flat rate and then I make a widget machine that creates widgets is that unethical? I think most of us would agree it's just a business arrangement.

We might say that it is unethical to lie about them being hand-made or to introduce defects for the appearance that they are hand-made. I think that's the most compelling argument for his lack of ethics. But I think that's kind of tangential to the business concerns.

Thinking about it, if 'guy' were a company with a board of directors and shareholders he would be under a fiduciary responsibility to maximize his profits. He would be required because of his responsibility to his shareholders to undertake such actions.

What are the ethics of the people who he'd leave without employment? Not just him, but also the QA team. Presumably the impact of downsizing would be more than just this one gentleman now that he's given away the golden goose, so to speak...
Yes, next question.

More seriously, it's hard to see what value publishers possibly be adding to the publishing process. Beyond tier one journals, full time editors don't really seem to do very much.

But I'd love to see some data supporting the argument that they're of value.
> Now the German government is considering legislation that would allow social networks such as Facebook to be fined up to 50 million euros if they don’t remove hate speech and fake news quickly enough.

As an American I can't imagine being arrested for speaking my mind about a race or religion whether it's considered hate speech or not. It's just unfathomable. Thanks to our forefathers for putting free speech on such a pedestal and our government for upholding it for 200+ years.

This can't end well shutting people up like this.

I think you 'winning' was exactly the reason they didn't particularly like it. In you agreeing to charge by page and not time, they very well may have thought they were having you. In the sense that they believed it to be a slow process and by you not charging per time they were getting a deal by possibly paying less if you were slow.
So to rephrase my question(s), "Who wins in the global context? Whichever can/will enforce the most?", the answer is yes? "This is enforceable worldwide until you show that it isn't" doesn't seem sane to me. It's backwards. You should not have to provide somewhere where a ruling is illegal to prevent that ruling from applying worldwide.

So a government can censor a website worldwide because the company can't provide a law saying it's illegal for them to self-censor?

How about explaining why that idea is "crazy?" Everyone who's pro blockchain crypto-assets has the positive spin down, there's barely any discussion about the negative side.

There are already investment models for funding things that can give a pay-off, a pay-off that aren't Ponzi-like schemes.

Why is this new system needed for aligning creators, investors, and users?

And not all have an opportunity to profit - what happens to the last 40% who would eventually be forced to adopt through whatever means?

And of course it's a big opportunity if you get everyone aligned over the idea of being able to profit, the early adopters especially love this because that "$100" they spent could become worth $100,0000,000 at some point with no effort on their part. There is an inherent difference between investing in a stock in a company and something becoming a currency.

This is too shallow of a discussion to go anywhere, there has to be actual analysis and projections to refer to.
> The reason is that Facebook deletes curses, slurs, calls for violence and several other types of attacks only when they are directed at “protected categories”—based on race, sex, gender identity, religious affiliation, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation and serious disability/disease. It gives users broader latitude when they write about “subsets” of protected categories. White men are considered a group because both traits are protected, while female drivers and black children, like radicalized Muslims, are subsets, because one of their characteristics is not protected. (The exact rules are in the slide show below.)

From this aspect, this internal quiz question seems reasonable if its intent is to test the candidate's knowledge of the technical details (e.g. what a protected category is) in the face of a seemingly absurd situation (e.g. Why should white men be more protected than children of any color?). Similar tactics are used in HR training I've had to go through. I remember for a sexual discrimination training quiz, there was a question about a woman who used anti-gay-male slurs in the workplace who then herself alleged she was being harassed for being a female. The question was worded in a way to trap you if you thought women couldn't be the offenders. I regret to say I've forgotten the specifics but the question actually referred to a real-life case in which a court sided against the woman because of her documented use of anti-gay slurs.

Edit: as absurd as that FB training slide seems, I don't think people give enough credit to how nuanced FB has to be when trying to be both a reasonable censor while allowing important free speech -- think the Philando Castile shooting video -- in real-time and across international borders and moral codes. It's a tough balancing act to train people to judge this, and the training materials are unavoidably going to sound horrific. Imagine the wording of a question that tested a candidate's handling of a photo posted of a naked young girl running in pain from a napalm attack.

That said, the argument about how being the squeaky wheel, or a celebrity with a following, gets you better, faster treatment than the disenfranchised, is true. But that unfortunate situation has happened everywhere else in real life, including media. In journalism, one cynical aphorism is: "News is whatever happens to your editor"
As software developers we implement change which often mean others lose their job. I've worked myself out of more jobs than I care to remember, automating ruthlessly, fixing even when it meant I was redundant as a result. To not do so would make me guilty about all those systems I wrote which made others redundant. That's really what I.T. was for years ago. Was a time I was like some horrible spectre. If you saw me that meant yo' ass. Once I interviewed some users about some task they were meant to be rekeying, they hadn't done it for months as the old requirement had gone. I followed it back to the person who was sending the first part, a nice little old lady and told her gleefully she didn't need to do that onerous first collection task anymore, whereupon she informed me that it was literally all she did. I just left.
That's a very dangerous line of thinking. Before WW1 the same argument was made because the world was supposed to be too connected by trade.
The forkers have established - perhaps quite reasonably - the principle that Ethereum isn't a set of rules unto itself, but it includes the ability to right what are externally perceived as wrongs even when they are done by playing according to the internal rules. So the forkers have set a precedent for more forks, as needed, whenever the community as a whole decides some sufficiently impactful party is cheating the spirit, rather than the letter of the law.
I had the exact same feeling.

Well written OP.

What's wrong with us workers? Do you think the Apple executes have some secret message board where they ask questions like: "Is it unethical for us to sell iPhones for $800 when they only cost $20 to produce?"

>This has been demonstrated by how the bitcoin economy operates in two states - either its going to the moon, or its slowly dying off. Nobody can use it as a regular money because the incentives are entirely built around hoarding it rather than transacting with it, and they were built that way on purpose...

Transactions per day have been growing rapidly every year in Bitcoin and Ethereum. In Bitcoin, the growth recently stopped, but only due to the block size hitting its protocol limit.

So the evidence contradicts the hoarding theory relating to deflating currencies. The wealth effect from appreciation seems more pronounced than the hoarding effect.

The "war for oil" thing is looking at the wrong end of the telescope.

I have this same deep-seated fear around the online advertising business and the content it has supported for over two decades. We've gone from print to online ad dollars over the years and we've watched many print pubs fold.

Meanwhile, the online ad dollars never paid for the remaining staff/product left behind to maintain web sites, so slowly those online entities have been shrinking to skeleton crews, too, or deploying beyond panicky revenue models that no user wants to endure, making matters even worse.

So, for 20 years now, it's been a constant zigzagging journey for publishers. Page impressions, lead generation, rich media (e.g video), 'viewable' ads...

And in 2 years it will be "the next big thing", all the while more and more pubs shutter their doors and content continues to be narrowly focused, delivered by social.

Hell, not just the publishers fading out... I'm seriously worried about how this content evolution is affecting our personal biases and cognitive abilities.

One can say that nuclear weapons have been the biggest peacemaker known to man. It's hard to imagine another World War since the advent of such weapons. Furthermore, the nuclear weapons today wield a power that cannot even be compared to the ones that were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. I don't think any superpower today wants another global war knowing that it would spell total annihilation for all those involved.

We also shouldn't discount that the world today has so much more globalization. Just about every country has become interdependent on each other.

The presumption is innocence within the criminal justice system. It is not proof of innocence, nor a statement of innocence.

This has legal ramifications in the civil justice system (the one where somebody sues another), where the barrier of judgment is a "preponderance of evidence", not "beyond a reasonable doubt".

OJ Simpson escaped a murder charge with a verdict of not guilty, but was found in civil court to have committed the tort of "wrongful death", and had to pay a lot of money (civil court cannot jail you).

Does anyone really think OJ Simpson was actually innocent?

It reminds me of the progression that I've gone through mentally, regarding 3D graphics.

1. What's all this matrix crap? I can take object and camera coords and calculate out a screen coordinate easily with some simple algebra and trig.

2. Oh, OK. Use matrices properly, and you can get rid of some repeated operations.

3. Classic GL mostly takes care of the matrix operations for me, and leaves me with a simple-ish interface for modifying the state machine (goodness, there's a lot of data to feed into it though).

4. Modern OpenGL: Erghh, boilerplate!

5. Build some utility functions and bootstrap yourself out of there, and the interface is so much more powerful. Sure, you have to explicitly specify some more things. Another way to put that is that you can change things that used to be implicitly defined. It's a wonderful bit of freedom, actually.

Alternatively, it's a feature. The miners "are" the network, them rejecting a change is the network saying no democratically, and that was the intent of the way things were setup, this is how it's supposed to work. A change that hurts miners profits isn't good for the network because it'll reduce mining and thus reduce security of the network overall. So while a change to increase transaction volumes might be good for currency holders; holders aren't the ones providing security, miners are, and the incentives are setup this way for a reason, it keeps the network secure thus providing the value for the currency to begin with.
