It doesn't improve your message. It reads as "sexual harassment is 100x less abusive than forced 100 hour weeks," which is unnecessarily dismissive of sexual harassment as a problem. It would make a more persuasive comment to just pick a better simile.
I'd assume that's actually correct. Most drivers are pretty good and a handful are bad, so the median skill level is higher than the mean.
Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of this thread. I didn't think this was about assessing the specific allegations at all, but precisely about understanding the definition of sexual harassment.
I'm sorry to be trying to take away your hope but I just don't see the path from CRISPR to gene therapy that can cure diseases in adults. CRISPR allows scientists to modify DNA in individual cells in a lab setting. But it doesn't help with mass editing DNA in cells throughout the body. I've heard of experiments where they take white blood cells, edit their DNA, and then reinject them. But there's currently no way to modify the genes in-place in a person's retina for example.
OT, but I have to imagine (as someone who has visited Livingston) that you might well be the only person to ever grow up in Scotland and live in Livingston for 20 years. Kinda interesting.
Perhaps you are wondering why you are being down-voted, since your comment is well-meant and deserves a response. The problem is that arguments like yours are a bit of a fig-leaf covering a system that is designed to work around exactly the process you are talking about.

For the last seventy years or, western democracies have moved power away from traditional branches of government and into the hands of agencies, because political movements were fed up with the slowness, dark compromises and voter-oriented showmanship of traditional democratic machinery.

And indeed those systems really are slow, messy and give incomplete results. So when agencies do behave badly, it is not very helpful (or even true) to say that the tedious checks-and-balance systems that the agencies exist to work around are an effective recourse.

The hell did I just read?

> This thing runs so hot that they need a fcuking radiator to cool it down:

> IBM’s mainframe in production today can encrypt data 18X faster than x86 platforms at just 5% of the cost. Then there’s the topic of blockchain, something we’d really like to get some investment exposure to while avoiding the complete and utter isht show that is today’s ICO space.

Ah, there we go, in the last paragraph:

> If you pay more than $4.95 a trade, you're paying too much. Ally Invest is one of the lowest-fee brokers around so you spend less money on transaction fees and more on stocks. With more than 30 trades a quarter it drops even lower to $3.95 a trade. Open an account and begin trading today.

So, this is some strange mix of decent information, someone who drops swearwords to look hip but can't spell them, and a "come trade with us" sponsored article. It felt like a badly written SEO article from the early 2000s.

It certainly didn't feel like something written by someone with an in-depth understanding of IBM's current offerings and what they are capable of.

But file offsets _aren't_ per process. File offsets (aka I/O position cursors) are kept in the file table entry data structure, and those are shared for descriptors that have been dup'd or fork'd. If the cursor wasn't shared then this program

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <err.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main(void) {
FILE *fh = tmpfile();
if (!fh)
err(1, "tmpfile");
int fd = fileno(fh);
if (fd == -1)
errx(1, "fileno: no descriptor");
const char digits[] = "0123456789";
if (sizeof digits != write(fd, digits, sizeof digits))
err(1, "write");
if (-1 == lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET))
err(1, "lseek");
if (-1 == fork())
err(1, "fork");
char ch;
switch (read(fd, &ch, 1)) {
case -1:
err(1, "read");
case 0:
errx(1, "read: EOF");
}
printf("%ld: %c\n", (long)getpid(), ch);
return 0;
}

would print '0' twice. However, it actually prints '0' then '1'.

Descriptor tables are per process, but the only thing a descriptor table entry stores is a flags field (basically, O_CLOEXEC/FD_CLOEXEC, plus maybe some esoteric platform specific flags), and a pointer to a file table entry data structure. Most state, like the O_NONBLOCK flag and file offsets, are kept in the [often shared] file table entry. The file table and its entries are completely independent from any particular process; in fact, traditionally there's only one global file table, just like there's only one process table.

These errors can usually be avoided if one always cite to a primary source (e.g. POSIX standard, vendor source code) for every assertion and/or validates the assertion with actual code. Maybe it's my legal training, but whenever I make an assertion, especially a technical assertion, I make it a habit of following those two rules, even when posting comments. And quite often I end up learning something new in the process.

>Share compensation data? People will quit once they realize their pay grading mechanism is subjective and arbitrary

Do you have an objective and determinite way to set compensation? If you do then you should tell the good folks here at YC that you have a great startup idea, pay gradation as a service, and collect your easy fortune.

All pay grading schemes are subjective by definition. A product is worth only what others will pay for it. When you are looking for employment you are selling your labor to an employer, of course your prospective employer can always not buy your product, especially if she can find another product for less.

Taiwan could certainly be a flashpoint but it's something China would be choosing to do. And... well, I'm no expert, but I just don't see it happening, not in the foreseeable future. Not only because the PLAN simply doesn't have the sealift capability - and they don't - but there's just too much to lose and not that much to gain from an attempted military takeover of the island, even before taking into account what other powers may or may not do to help (my money's on "not"). IMO, the danger of a war for Taiwan has come and gone. If it was going to happen, it would have happened in the 80s. China has a middle class now and, it's not interested.

This is a topic I've discussed quite extensively with my Chinese friends and my impression is that while Taiwan remains a sore point, that ship has sailed for the time being. The fact that it's independent and not a colony helps - Hong Kong was a different story. And there's no pressing national security need for the territory like Tibet.

The feeling towards Taiwan (amongst my circle anyway) is a bit like a wayward child - to be held in check, and encouraged to return, but certainly not warranting military action with its accompanying loss of life. And the politburo's main goals are stability and its own continued reign. So long as Taiwan doesn't do anything to threaten those, China may rattle its sabre every once in a while, but it's probably safe for now.

My personal prediction for Taiwan (as a white layperson, mind) is that as the mainland prospers and stabilises, and gets over its remnant paranoia from the bad old days - and as the island gets over its own adolescence - the emnity and restrictions will gradually dissipate and the countries will move closer together naturally. It might not be a Chinese territory again like HK, but it's hard to imagine too many restrictions being in place in 50 or even 30 years' time. In the end, Taiwan needs China a lot more than the other way round, and will inevitably gravitate towards it.

That's assuming China doesn't collapse spectacularly, of course. Then all bets are off!

I used to use Trunk Club, which was founded two years before Stitch Fix.

I had a really, really good experience with it. When I first signed up, one of their stylists called me for a "style interview" in which she asked follow-up questions to my answers on the sign up form. She also had me send her pictures of major pieces of clothing (shoes, jackets, etc.) that I already owned so that she would know to send matching stuff. It was great - I did two "trunks" with them, and kept everything (probably $1000 worth of clothing and accessories), and still wear each piece five years later.

In comparison, Stitch Fix never called me before sending me stuff. As a result, I kept only one item out of five they sent in the initial shipment, and it has been two weeks and I still haven't really worn it. Overall it feels like a shitty version of TC, and I can't say I'm impressed. I'm going to wait for the next "fix" or whatever they call them and probably cancel afterward if it is similarly bad.
While direct editing of bases will be a really useful tool, I think it's worth pointing out to any alarmists about human editing that our ability to make directed changes far outpaces our knowledge of what changes to make (and our ability to make reasonable guesses about how safe those changes are). Although there are a relative handful of diseases that have a single, protein coding change that's responsible (sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, etc), most diseases are due to multiple variants, many of which are non-coding, interacting with environmental factors and chance (diabetes, obesity, depression). These kinds of tools are incredibly useful in the lab for making advances in understanding disease, but we're a long way off from widespread clinical use, if that is even in the cards.

How would this ever cause dystopia?
A lot of it is, but it doesn't have to be.

I'd argue that over at Riot Games, we see crunch as antithetical to what we do. But then we're lucky enough to run a massive online game that needs to be up 24/7 year after year. So our engineering culture is much more like what you'd see at other traditional internet technologies such as Google, Netflix, Amazon, etc. It's just that in our case, our online service is a video game.

My girlfriend is at Disney and last year she worked 6 day weeks for much of the time as they led up to a film release. Change would require producers and executives to take a risk (while their competitors continue to crunch). It's going to be very hard to adjust.

I appreciate the comment. It is certainly better to be realistic about hopes.

I think my hope is really more into something like the Ray Kurzweil cellular-sized nano computers that can be injected into the body to perform various functions. As we understand what causes certain "bugs" in bodies, perhaps an effective solution can be developed.

PERC is partly the subject of the article:

PERC’s affiliation with politically connected outfitters that stand to profit if trails are closed bolsters the sense, to Wilson and others confronting locked gates, that a void in coherent policy about public land management is being filled by cronyism that rewards wealth and connections above all else. Another co-owner of the Wonder Ranch, Frank-Paul King, a friend and former student of Anderson’s, served on PERC’s board. Hudson, the man who got Representative Sessions involved, is King’s brother-in-law, and he’s also a board member and the former president of the Dallas Safari Club, a group that made national headlines in 2014 when it auctioned off a trip to Africa to hunt an endangered rhinoceros.
Sounds like my comparison is being lost here. The abuse is worse in the following manner: game developers were (don't know if currently, but I did over and over) were required to sign 'feature contracts' where we would sign off with risk of financial penalty a feature set to add or modify a game. The game is a known sports or some reoccurring franchise, and this contract is signature required to land the contract, before seeing the code or assets one is modifying. The entire team of one to two dozen developers and artists sign individual contracts, with fantasy milestones crafted sight unseen for the materials we are 'contractually bound' to work with and deliver functioning, bullet proof code. Typically a game would suffer at least one person quitting, one person melting down, and the rest of the team picking up the slack. "Crunch time" was 9 to 12 months of 7 days a week. Literally insane. And meanwhile both the producer from EA/Sony/Satan as well as your in-house producer are pressing everyone daily to stay late, get in early, and deliver, deliver. The only way to describe it is a type of Stockholm Syndrome.

So, yes, in my opinion this is worse. This is pure insanity.
I almost feel like upvoting it so that more HN readers can laugh at it...

tbh from what little I know about IBM mainframes they're actually quite interesting, like some parallel universe where servers work a bit differently to the rest of the world. I wouldn't mind reading a more in-depth article on them.
Your experience with them may be negative, but the general social memes about Kotaku are one hundred and ten percent fostered by the regressive parts of the gaming community that don't like that they give people who have the temerity to not be white, cis, and straight a platform. (And 'ekianjo's body of work on Hacker News makes me disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.) I will go to bat for Schreier specifically, but there's a reason why they had Patrick Klepek and his Scoops around, too (until Vice came knocking, anyway).

They are legit. Maybe now Waypoint edges them out as they seem really dedicated to doing good investigative stuff (Klepek and others), I dunno, but it's pretty much those two and Eurogamer doing the heavy lifting in the "widely read" spaces.
Seen Gattaca? This coupled with the concept of anti-aging research, interesting times lie ahead.
The comparison raised my eyebrow at first too, but then I wasn’t sure if they were referring to quality or quantity.

It seems plausible that greater numbers of people are taken advantage of in terms of overtime/crunch, etc. However claiming that working long hours and not being compensated is 100x worse than sexual harassment seems much less clear.
> You read "NYTimes" on the front-page, decided that you were gonna hate this article, and then found something that did it for you. Congratulations. You are justified in your hatred of "biased reporting".

You know, if you are so confident that the author is right, please find (or ask him) to provide relevant wage data from other related, non-lawyer, non-banking fields, and you know, not based in New York.

We'll see how strong that argument actually is once we have proper comparison points across industries. When I see cherry-picked data like that, my bullshit detector self-activates.

And no, this has nothing to do with hating the NYT. I routinely enjoy some very well written articles in the NYT, but this is one of of the worst ones they have ever published.

Overall I agree with you. I was very skeptical when I took a job at Riot Games several years ago. Luckily, Riot operates a successful massive online game and therefore operates more like a traditional internet company than it does a traditional game company (at least with respect to engineering culture and work/life balance).

So it is possible. It's just going to take enough executives and producers to take a risk (while their competition continues to crunch) and see the long term results. That or we see some sort of union/guild action which most engineers shy away from.
I found it fascinating to see this. Ally is really pushing this new product hard.
Here are the sentiments that I took away from this article, even if it was not the intention.

- “If I don’t have the time to be THE BEST, I won’t bother even trying to be great.”
- “I am okay, even proud to be a mediocre developer. I don’t want to commit lots of time to programming.”
- “I would rather have an employer who accepts me for being mediocre because I have interesting things going on in my life.”
- “I’d rather work on a team full of mediocre devs as long as the company had a great culture”

I’m not saying it is an “incorrect” attitude. Someone may want to put together a team of developers who don’t really care about their craft, as long as they like to hang out together. I feel very differently though. I would much rather hire a developer who is mediocre but wants to get better than a mediocre developer who has the attitude of ‘I don’t want to put in all that time to be good at my craft. Did I mention I had a dog business though?’

As someone who has interviewed developers, I can tell you that most candidates do not have side projects. If you have side projects, it is a huge bonus. Not having side projects is not a big deal. Plenty of people get hired who don’t have side projects.

But, if a candidate said no they don’t have any side projects, and then followed it up with something like ‘Yeah, I’m not one of those people who really likes coding enough to do any in my free time, plus I care more about my dog business that I run’ that says to me 'I don’t really care about this job."

So what i want to know is Why do we need Docker and Kubernetes as in simple term (Explain like i am 5) and i am also working on my side project so whether knowledge of them will help me to make a good decision regarding my projects.

> I can't pull my RV very well with a Tesla, at least yet

The fact that you own an RV and factor it into your car-buying decision means that you're not buying the most mainstream, popular car. Maybe you'll feel better about having an obsolete-in-the-next-10-years vehicle if you consider it to be one of the "irrational" (but rational to you) costs of owning an RV?

Also, there's a huge glut of used vehicles. You can get a crazy cheap gas car right now. Why not take advantage of someone else's "obsolete and worthless" car?
