Agreed - I liken it to my college experience: if you want to eat or drink anything other than water, or talk to other people, you go to the coffee shop.

If you want to focus on your work and take breaks to do the rest you go to the library.

I always chose the coffee shop, so open offices don't bother me hugely. The caveat is that a good pair of headphones is a must.
No reasoning is required, but they did give a reason, so that is mute.
That's like saying Google "just" aggregates indexed websites. I use justwatch on a weekly basis to find out whether a movie is on any of the services I use (instead of checking all three of them individually), and browse new releases on each service.
> I simply stated that since he made restitution prior to charges being brought, perhaps that should factor into sentencing.

Restitution isn't the only reason for punishment.

> I don't know who you're arguing against, or what you're really arguing

That he's clearly unapologetic and simply got lucky, and that this should factor into sentencing.

I'm ok with an open office, but my job is to be interupted. It's less good for deep thinking jobs, or heavy phone call jobs. Our engineers don't seem to mind though, maybe they just plug in their headsets?

Joel Spolsky wrote about this [1] though his main citation is experience at Microsoft.

I do have to admit Open Floors are a shift for a company focused on secrecy.

I view many of these streaming services as one-time purchases.

I'll look to see if something I want to watch is on Netflix. If I find something looks interesting, great! I'll sign up for one month of the service and then cancel it immediately.

I also do this for football season. I signed up for Sling TV + Red Zone and paid for a few months. When football season was over, I canceled it.

To a degree I can understand his, and your, view point here. However my understanding, which could be wrong, is that Go was designed to solve problems specific to Google. In my opinion that doesn't make it a general purpose language, that makes it a purpose driven language.

It's general in nature in that you can ignore certain features and use it as a general language, but ultimately it has a built in HTTPS web server for a reason, right? And a programmer and an SRE, Context is an excellent idea for tracing requests through the whole stack -- again, there was a purpose to this design.
Apart from the clear goalpost-shifting occurring here ("this is unimaginative bullshit" [as in fictitious/incorrect?] -> "this is not meaningful to programming"), I can't help but be astonished at the last sentence. I know comparisons between Victorians and certain modern political movements are a slightly tired cliché by now, but it's difficult to not read it as something along the lines of "And appropriate to discuss in front of the children?".
star wars is 2 hours of content a year. maybe you can stretch that to 60 if you push out a bunch of 'star wars universe' content. and you can just pay $15 to see that in a theatre

netflix added 600 hours of content in 2016 and will surely dwarf that in 2017 and beyond

disney is in a for a rude awakening if they think they can go it alone in this marketplace
Some ideas do. For example, Nazi’s master race idea hurt badly.

However, I don’t see how that’s relevant. The author of that memo didn’t wrote about male superiority of anything similar. He talked about statistically significant differences, and proposed ideas for google to attract more female employees without discriminating against males.
I have a '16 Mazda 3 without. I agree that it is non-economical, but interesting.

I'd like to have it with a larger lithium-ion that can remote start only my AC for a few minutes while I walk to the car in the summer.
With this, Disney is adding incovenience and introducing extra costs at the same time. Not very attractive for most people.

It will also be hard for them to create the ecosystem Netflix has (integrated in lots of TV's and other hardware, dedicated remote buttons and support in a lot of countries). The people outside the US don't care for FOX or ESPN. Maybe if FOX acquired the football (soccer) rights in all countries where Netflix is active and added that to the package or something, that would make it a bit more attractive.

But even then. I don't see this ending well.
> He sourced all of his claims

He didn't actually cite anything, though [1]. He used a bunch of bracketed numbers [2] to look scientistic, but didn't actually provide [3] substantive evidence [5,7,8,6,5,4,3]

Also, I can "source all my claims" and vehemently defend the Nazis. "Source your claims" is the middle school grammar teacher equivalent of "provide substantive evidence and use careful language when writing publicly on sensitive issues". In other words, kinda juvenile.

FWIW I don't think people should be fired for political beliefs, but the actual memo wasn't "well-sourced" and was the author was clearly trolling. I've heard the whole "google is a utopia" thing, but I can't imagine posting something like that in a work context even in the most liberal office environment...

> and himself has a Ph.D in Biology

IMO this makes the whole thing much more embarrassing for the author [9].

--

[1] If by "cite" you mean provide evidence.

[2] It is perfectly OK to use bracketed numbers for footnotes as well as citations, of course. But footnotes are not citations.

[3] If you're going to appeal to authority, at least actually appeal to an authority other than "additional ramblings.

[4-8] Don't dare disagree!

[9] Especially copious footnotes presented in a way that implies they're citations.

[10] There's some PG essay about this.
So did I. And every time I downloaded it again, I'd open a medium sized file, scroll down, the scroll lags, and I delete it again.

Many of the left seek to win culture wars not on the merits of arguments and ideas but simply by punishing and silencing any who disagree.

As though that's a unique aspect of "the political left". Folks in the GOP, for example, definitely don't have litmus tests that distinguish a "true" conservative from a RINO. His team is clearly better than your team!

Honestly, it's pretty clear this op-ed is every bit the polemic as any other writing on this topic, and it's about as reliable an analysis as a result. It does nothing to move the conversation forward in any constructive way.

Again: As a Rorschach test for your sociopolitical affiliation, the memo is a smashing success. It manages this by, from the very start, couching the discussion in terms of left-right political affiliation, immediately putting the "left" on the defensive and the "right" cheering him on.

After that it's just a lesson in confirmation bias.

Edit:

As a random aside, am I the only one who feels like this thing is packed with MRA dogwhistles? "males are biologically disposable", "when a man complains about a gender issue affecting men, he is labelled as a mysogynist and a whiner", "humans are generally biased towards protecting females", etc.

This guy would've done himself a huge favour by having someone read and critique this thing before sending it out. Even a straightforward rewrite to remove some of these unsupported, content-free statements would've clarified his thesis and cut out some of the obvious flamebait.
Are you sure your parent post is sarcasm? The sad reality of the modern tech industry is that I actually think that is a serious response, though I wouldn't be surprised either way.

"Benching" refers to a style of desk system that connects into a row.

And the thing is, by being a startup board, we support exactly the kind of actions, movements, and organizations that have greatest new impact on fellow humans

It might be okay to turn away if that "new impact" is something like faster pizza delivery. It's another thing entirely when we're instrumenting every action that every cell phone user does and then selling the data off to the highest bidder.

There might be plenty of other places for this discussion. There are no other places with these people who are responsible for doing these things.

And this is exactly what the social media companies want: everybody to find some other place besides their forum to talk about difficult things, because difficult conversations turn away eyeballs.

It's us. The founders, inventors, and senior executives and engineers at these companies that are most in need of these discussions. And we not only have created a world where these things don't happen, we revel in the fact that we've separated all these concerns into different compartments

It is a vile and corrupt system. I refuse to believe that people who give some time to think about it would continue supporting it the way it is.
Quoted from the article:

It lacked a control for comparison, and while the baseline diet was designed to keep participants at about the same levels of energy burn they experienced outside of the study, the participants started to lose weight on that diet too. So they were already slimming down by the time they started their low-carb month.

And while the study was designed to overcome some of the limitations of real-world diet studies, a highly controlled setting that amounts to confining people to a hospital and lab isn’t exactly representative of how people actually live and eat.

"These points, along with the small sample size and short-term follow-up, prevent the ability to draw conclusions about the effects of a very low-carbohydrate versus usual carbohydrate diet," said Deirdre Tobias, an associate epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Men's Hospital.

What’s more, one of the promises of the low-carb, high-fat diet is that when people start eating this way, they naturally cut back on calories because they’re more satiated (from the protein and fat in their diet). This study didn’t measure that either, since the participants were forced to stick to strictly measured menus.
So he should be fired for having an incorrect belief backed up by shoddy science?
The counter to that argument is that if the owners of robots make 100% of the income while customers make 0%, then the owners of the robots will have a very small market to sell their goods and services.

> a population of engineers is not randomly selected so isn't appear guasian with respect to averages of the global population

That's totally irrelevant - so irrelevant that the fact you posted it suggests you don't understand what's being discussed here.

The "manifesto" didn't say anything even remotely in the same universe as, "male employees of Google are different from female employees" (a claim to which you might respond, "that's not true because engineers aren't randomly selected."

The manifesto explained why there are fewer females in the field of engineering.

It's like if I point out that there are fewer Asians playing professional basketball because Asians tend to be shorter. Your statement is like saying that professional basketball players aren't selected randomly, they're selected (in part) for height. Totally irrelevant to a discussion of why there are fewer overall.

I'm on mobile right now. If you like, I'll gladly take apart the rest of your post when I get home. But this bit is a good start. It's really indicative of the kind of person who has criticized the memo.
166 isn't really a representative sample, is it?
This exposes a risk of not using social media. One could be ostracized or harassed due to false content on social media and never know precisely why. Imagine the paranoia that would create, given the clear temptation for people to subtly harass the accused.
It may surprise you to know that musicians can't take even a few months' long break without suffering professionally. Remaining in shape for an audition only lasts until the last few days before that particular audition. If you stop practicing for a few months, it takes at least that long to get back into shape. It is a lot like a professional sport that way. Illnesses are career killers, for example. Also, we have new repertoire coming in all the time by new composers-- whole new concertos to learn, new techniques to be hip to, new gear to learn... I can understand that it might look somehow different from the outside, but this is why a musician can't keep doing auditons forever. First, it is expensive and we don't get corporate sponsors like athletes do. It depends on perfect health, and many can't afford to maintain that without a benefactor. It also takes up every minute of your life to stay audition ready for job auditions and jobs themselves--no one can sustain that kind of mental,physical, and psychological stress for too long. But, while we can, men and women seem to handle these pressures equally well.
Once you say it out loud, it's not being punished for thoughts anymore. Speaking is an action.

As this thread shows, if he'd just kept his whiny assumptions about women's innate incompetence as engineers to himself he would have been able to remain happily employed in a cushy job.
Yeah, I posted the quote and I should've posted the reasoning behind it as well, I just meant to say I don't believe all of the difference is explained by societal pressure, but I agree that some and maybe most of it is.

It seems like a really hard thing to determine because we don't have a "control society" with no sexism we could use to compare.
I have a hunch that studios will find a way to pocket about the same amount of money that Spotify already does. Just based on the reports of how they treat non-superstar artists already with hollywood acounting [0].

They want more money for the studio to survive, not artists. Artists are probably "a dime a dozen", and possible to manufacture from a studios perspective.

I'd distinguish attitude of Australians to migrants (which I have found very friendly) from the strictness of the immigration department.

There have always been many more people wanting to get into the country than the quotas allowed, and so the immigration department is a gatekeeper. Getting in is a kind of game of beaurocratic chess, and the department is determined to play hard.

The UK was the same when I was living there for a few years. Germany on the other hand is more keen on attracting skilled workers and made things very easy for me. But as people, I found Germans and British to be about equally welcoming of immigrants.
Nice.

Thanks.

One solution to this problem would be for Apple employees to form a union and collectively bargain for better working conditions. Probably just threatening to do this would lead to significant concessions.

One thing I love about cryptocurrencies is that it has created an economic incentive to accelerate hardening of internet communication.

I wager that TOR would still be extremely slow without the dark net markets and payment rails.

The I2P stewards have similarly has been affiliated with several cryptocurrency projects. But The Monero team's Kovri implementation of I2P will be the best.
You can just artificially limit your losses by bailing out when you lose as much as you shorted.

You run a small / theoretical risk of getting stuck in a short squeeze situation where you can't get out, but that risk varies substantially by security and there are often laws or mechanisms you can use to protect yourself.
I worked for a company that did the noise generator thing. For a long time I couldn't figure out where my headaches were coming from and chalked it up to job-related stress.

Then, I got to travel to a QUIET remote office with only 10 workers and no noise generators for a high-stress, deadline-critical project. The headaches disappeared immediately. When I got back to my normal, headache-inducing office, I clocked the baseline noise level at 50-60 dB.

Any company that thinks those things are a valid solution to noise issues is very, very wrong.
I.. walked the same road, but 2 years ago :(

Unlikely. They have it in the US and the UK and in bugger all other locations.

If you want to stop piracy, you need it on one service at a reasonable price, and that service needs to be global.

no one has that yet.
ligatures in source code? It seems as soon as I use a non-fixed width font, then indenting and other code formatting becomes tricky. Bjarne Stroustrup uses a proportional spaced font in his C++ book and I hate it.

What folks are saying is that if it is a single dispatch, but based on the parameters, it is not multiple dispatch. Literally count the number of dispatches. If it is a single, it is not multiple.

I'm somewhat goal shifting by pointing out that with this you can get dynamic behavior without a full recompile, but really only a little. The entire point of this behavior is that the link in to the method is statically known to a point that can then do another dispatch where it will go to the correct place.

The visitor pattern is a somewhat ugly way of accomplishing this, true. But it is absolutely more powerful than method overloading.

I'm very glad they've drastically reduced the resources taken up by restored (but not activated) tabs. I tend to hoard tabs which I swear I'll organise into bookmarks "soon" but never quite get round to it.

Yes, that's what "systematic bias" means. In actual observational studies, the men who are excluded from positions by gender quotas are less competent than the women who replace them: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2017/03/13/gender-quot...

This is why there is such intense reactions against correcting for bias: men with imposter syndrome or who are actually incompetent are afraid that they wouldn't be able to compete if the system wasn't so heavily skewed in their favor.
This is very true, and something I had not considered. A persons right to face their accuser is limited if the person does not know they have been accused in the first place
I'd rather have a clear separation of data structures and implemenations:

Promise, Future, Observable = data structures

Bluebird, Fluture, RxJS Observable = implementation of the data structures

Operators (map/race/all) = helper implementations for operating the data structure implementations

Now, different implementations may make different choices, like there are dozens of Promise implementations tuned for either feature richness, speed, or small file size. Same holds true for observables, there are feature-rich libs like RxJS, but also fast and/or small implementations (Bacon, most.js, xstream).

My point: A cancelable promise is basically an observable that emits a single item (and caches that item). So an observable is kind of like a superset of a cancelable promise (and of course a non-cancelable promise). All operator implementations manipulating observables can directly be reused for cancelable and non cancelable promises-like observables; the other way around does NOT hold true.

My main point: Just use observables, they can do everything that promises and cancelable promises can do and, if needed, a lot more. So instead of layering, learn to use this one data structure and you will be able to cope with a lot of async troubles.
Sure. But OP was responding to the below excerpt. At least from the way I've interpreted the request, they are looking for a single interface to watch their content from multiple providers. justwatch does not do this.

Long term, we'll probably wind up with a couple of major marketplaces that provide a UI that ties together content bundles that you've purchased from different distributors (who will actually serve up their catalogs).
Cancelled cable years ago. Just cancelled Netflix today, won't be paying any service anymore and I will reassess the situation in 3 years. If you want me to tolerate your DRM (and many other problems like region blocks) the whole industry needs to rethink their approach. U+1F44F
