How good are the bug tracker and wiki? My immediate reaction to this idea is to throw up in my mouth a little bit because I remember the TFS experience, everything was integrated but all the individual components were worst-in-class.

I can see the value for small and/or personal projects, but beyond that is there a good reason to not use seperate best of breed tools?

I think the majority of these claims of inappropriate behavior are legitimate... It was quite a while before I figured out how to not be "obnoxious" when talking to women I thought I might have a chance with.

One night I had to have a pair of "birds and bees" talks with a early-20's female passenger.

That diary was called "the difference between boys & girls" [0] (tl/dr: she previously didn't appreciate how much power she had in her selection of potential suitors). Because the lesson was for a woman, I didn't have to cover the male perspective that much... But I'd ask her to consider the perspective of the guys who can't seem to ever get laid: the stereotypical "40-year-old virgin". What happens when those guys get a little bit of power?

I'm thinking about a followup, tentatively titled "The predicaments of girls & boys". This will be about a woman who got kicked to the curb by her wealthy boyfriend, the woman who had a "loser" boyfriend whom she was probably overly-invested in, and the women who got something a little different than they expected when they got picked up by some wealthy patrons at the club. Two of these stories were told to me (hear-say), but I think they're credible.

"I have published code all over. I code 10+ hours a day, even on the weekends. I get hammered in technical interviews."

Yes, yes, and yes. I've been meaning to blog about this experience (as an update, after last touching on it a few years ago). But I wanted to blog from a position of triumph. You know, "now that I've beaten the coding challenge I can say with conviction what is wrong with the coding challenge". That sort of thing. Except it's becoming obvious that I'll never beat these coding challenges, despite them being completely unsuitable for the role being advertised.

Apart from now, I hit the job market about 2 years ago, and before that another 2 years ago, and there seems to be a lot more of these gatekeepers around now who favour irrelevant coding challenges. Are German or French language teachers rejected on some obscure piece of Latin taught 10 years ago in college, but can't recite perfectly anymore?

The current crop of gatekeepers in tech seem to be a really bizarre mix. I'm having the hardest time in trying to find work this time, despite being more skilled, and having more people skills (hopefully). I'm at a loss.

You might be onto something with people trying to protect their jobs by using these obscure challenges to filter out suitable candidates. It's some kind of negligence. I don't think it's me, or you, but I feel like I'm going crazy. I can do the job, well I think, but the interviews (and perhaps the interviewers) aren't suited to filling the role.
Timing the market doesn't really work.
The difference is the a dirt cheap Android phone will cost less than $100 for new unlocked, whereas a dirt cheap iPhone start at about $300.

For $300, you could get a competitevly specced Android phone with great support for AOSP custom roms. Get one of these, flash AOSP without play services and you've got a reasonably privacy-focused phone.

You’re getting downvotes for no good reason (disagreement is a bad reason).

I quite strongly agree with you btw. The fact that Charlie Rose is held up as some high standard of interviews should be an inditement of the entire profession in the US because he - compared to actual maters like David Frost, Louis Theroux, and so on - is quite poor.

It was his format that was great, not him.
Sorry, no.

It's not like Uber did one bad thing. Uber has been a fountain of terrible things for years and years. You even admit that Uber's market-dominant position has been been achieved through those terrible things. And those are only the terrible things that we've discovered despite Uber's energetic attempts to cover things up. Lord knows what horrors you're still hiding.

Until Uber loses their ill-gotten lead, I won't even consider using them.

NPR Isn't a "state" funded organization. The vast majority of funding comes from listeners like you and corporations (not CPB). Republicans cut most of that funding remember?
Income is not the same as wealth, and income is irrelevant if it doesn't turn into wealth.

My father is a doctor and he finished paying off his education at 48. I make half what he made and finished paying mine off at 28. I'm drastically more wealthy now, and will be wealthier when I retire. This seems strange given the significant difference in income.

1980 is a very peculiar data point to mention. That year is pretty much exactly when minimum wage and tuition suddenly diverged. Between 1965 and 1980, A full time summer job at minimum wage could consistently pay for ~45% of your tuition. In the next 15 years, it dropped to around 20-25%. Running the numbers for 2017-2018, in-state tuition is 20%, out of state is 11%, and private is 8.6%.

The groups that have contributed the most people to the 1 percent since 1980 are: physicians ...

With all that in mind, this statement doesn't seem unreasonable to me. If education prices have skyrocketed, shouldn't the career that spends the most in education (both time and cost) be compensated accordingly?

Point being, income is only half of the equation to wealth. That article doesn't bother mentioning debt at all.

Some times, i don't code programs. I know that's a typical of someone perceived as a hacker, but my techniques have always been a typical. For instance, it might surprise readers to know that all of the widely publicized hacks I was involved in - let's call that the "Adrian Classic" period :p - were done using a web browser and Notepad, on dialup, on Windows 98.

If you stop to think about it, this is really a true meta-hack. People who ask to learn how to hack are generally told to install Linux, learn how to code, and experiment with various hacking tools. Much how network administrators learning to secure their systems tend to get the same certifications, read many of the same books. This results in activity that's really more like jousting than hacking - a predefined pattern of attack taking place against a predefined pattern of defense.
When i started Hacking, I learnt how to code, I learned to read code, and I learned how programmers thought, which assumptions they tended to make, and what mistakes their common training tended to cause them to make in common across completely different systems. One example of this is writing access code with the assumption that if failure = no then access = yes. On many systems, I found that by simply removing a username or password field, access would be automatically granted - because there had been no username or password failure, since there had been none to fail, so access was granted.

Because my methods were and are unorthodox, they are rarely detected by intrusion detection systems. They don't resemble common attacks because they aren't common attacks. I often make them up on the spot. Which is why the question "teach me to hack" is so frustrating. This is particularly emphasized by a meme pic I got a Google Alert for this morning: I always give readers free Access to reach me for all kinds of Hacking Issues though : compositehacks@gmail.com

> Think about it logically rather than emotionally.

If there was part of my above comment which seemed to you emotionally rather than logically motivated, I'd be happy to clarify it.

It seems from your response that you think I'm arguing against having that line drawn (the one which takes sex categorically out of the professional context). So to clarify: that is very very far both from what I have said and how I feel about things. I think that line is very important and absolutely should be in place.

But that question is unrelated to the matter of complexity and simplicity which I intended to discuss (though my interlocutors so far have insisted on skirting the subject). For instance—as I already covered in my first comment—is it 'simple' how to define that line?

The conventional wisdom is that Bernie would have won the general election. I disagree with that - it's wishful thinking. His ideas might be palatable inside the democratic party, but I think he would have hard time pushing his ideas in the states that mattered.

Looks like they fired two people over this, pretty immediately at that. Uncertain if the new CEO was aware of the cover-up until (presumably) contacted for comment by a news org.

The fact that the cover-up persisted this long is bad, but on the other hand the Kalanick-era Uber probably would've gone to war with the journalists breaking the stories rather than admit fault, so there's that.

No sensible person would sign up for the CSO position if they risked jail time when their company gets hacked. You can't really control it. A random engineer could make a mistake that gets hackers a step closer. Or it could be a zero-day vulnerability that nobody knows how to protect against.

There are millions of motivated adversaries out there and a finite number of employees at your company to outsmart them. It's a game you can't win. The larger your company becomes, the broader your attack surface becomes, and the higher value a target you become.

You just have to hope that when you get hacked, it is a "forgiveable" hack like a zero-day or highly targeted attack.

If CSO's are to be personally accountable for the malicious actions of others, it needs to be due to clear negligence on their part and the responsibilities need to be clearly defined.
The ACH system in the US is rough. It operates on the theory of "success in absence of failure/chargeback." In most cases, this is fine. You use ACH to pay your rent but charge back? You get evicted. Use ACH for your mobile phone bill and charge back? Your phone gets shut off.

With easily transferrable assets it gets tough. The charge back window is on the order of 30+ days.

You buy BTC via ACH at $X and a week later it's $X/2? Chargeback "I was hacked!". You can fight it as the merchant, but it takes time, tons of documentation, and dealing with traditional bank compliance departments that a) don't know what BTC is or are trained to distrust it, b) are trained to protect their customers, c) are overworked, and d) have no vested interest in resolving it correctly irrespective of evidence.
It is about child support. For example from: https://www.therichest.com/expensive-lifestyle/money/outrage...
"Actor, Eddie Murphy entered into a bitter legal battle with his ex-girlfriend, ex-Spice Girl, Melanie Brown. Brown gave birth to their child in 2008 after Murphy had broken up with her while she was five months pregnant. Murphy even had a DNA test completed in order to prove he was the father. In 2009, Murphy was ordered to pay $59,950 per month for child support and he agreed to cover any of Brown’s pregnancy expenses that she may have incurred."

So, US$60K per month for more than 20 years is about US$15 million. Not a bad return on one night in a bar (considering you can pay nannies to raise the kid and the spouse gets stuck for that cost too). Of course, it has to be the right (read rich enough) guy...

Of course, most child support may not be in that range, but it can still be substantial, and so more than a successful lawyer earns in 20 years of hard work and study after repaying expensive student loans.

Another quote from there may help clarify (obviously I am not endorsing this heartless gold digger strategy even if what this lawyer says may be true economically): "A divorce litigator put it a little more simply: "There is no reason for a woman to go to medical school. If she wants to have the spending power of a doctor she can just have sex with three doctors." (see the Wisconsin chapter for how the arithmetic works out) In some states, though not Wisconsin, a plaintiff's own earnings or earning potential can reduce the potential profits from child support. "A degree in poetry is a lot better than a degree in medicine when you're a child support plaintiff," observed one litigator, and added "for a woman with a functioning reproductive system, the decision to attend college and work is seldom an economically rational one in the United States.""

Is it that hard to to imagine three high-earning young male Googlers ending up in such a situation of supporting one woman with a combined Google-level salary in child support?

Perhaps another reason for a basic income (one which includes payment for children) is to change the divisive nature of child support litigation?

By the way, some related comedy from the 1960s (not quite the same idea but in that direction):
"Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062767/reviews
"[Gina Lollobrigida] plays the mother of the lovely Janet Margolin, whose American soldier father was supposedly killed during World War II [or so she was told]. The thing is, Gina isn't sure who the father was, since she was friendly with three soldiers at the time, (played by Peter Lawford, Phil Silvers and Telly Savalas), and all are very much alive. Each of the three thinks he is the father and has been financially supporting the girl in secret for over 20 years. Trouble and hilarity ensue when the three men and their wives return to the Italian village for an Army reunion, and Gina has to juggle all six of them while keeping her daughter from finding out the truth."
They are pretty easy to chargeback as long as you initiate it within 30 days of your first transfer. Give a notarized letter to your bank stating that you did not do these ACH transfers to this "Coin Base" company.

You can get ACH charged back for up to 180 days with more involved procedure.
> If you don't get why someone might think special education is overfunded, go visit a special ed classroom and wonder "how much does it cost society to give these kids places to drool on each other?".

Man, I hope some day, maybe when you have kids, you come to realize what a truly awful thing to say that was. In the mean time, it might be worth reading a bit of history to understand why our country has repeatedly re-affirmed it's decision to uphold the values in the Declaration of Independence to spend money to take care of all it's citizens and not just the lucky healthiest smartest richest ones.

> Your needling for sources is derailing this discussion.

I can totally empathize with feeling like you're being needled, as you say, when you're asked multiple times for evidence to support your claims that you don't have. I will stop asking. Is it possible that the lack of evidence says more about the value of those claims?

This discussion was derailed right from the start when you decided to pin the country's economic problems on difficult children and parents with questions -- things that objectively don't affect the overall budget very much, if at all. I've just been trying to figure out where your anger is coming from, what makes you think that some parents talking to teachers is some kind of drain on the economy, what you think makes it a serious problem that needs solving.

The irony here is 1) you jumped on me over a comment about education that I didn't make, the parent comment did, and 2) your entire calculus of fixation on short-term budget efficiencies is obsolete under UBI & other future possibilities. Using ROI for education is at best specious today. Should UBI come to pass, ROI will not be a meaningful metric at all.

Wow, the example in the article is an extremely verbose error message! But still, detailed and helpful error messages really do make the developer's life easier.

When building API end points, I take a different approach by including both messages and message codes, as well as a general "result" code (to make it easy to determine if it's a basic success/error result (also including the right HTTP code)).

An example that I'm working on right at the moment:

{
"result": {
"code": "error",
"message_code": "too_many_user_agents",
"message": "You have sent %s user agents; this is more than the maximum allowed per batch (%s user agents). Please send fewer in each batch."
}
}

The message describes the problem; what they did wrong, what the limit is and how they can fix it so it doesn't happen again.

As well as this, the developer can easily check that the response code was an error, and there's the message_code - this will NEVER EVER change for this problem, so a developer could write code to specifically deal with that scenario.

However there's also a human readable message, which may potentially change (perhaps a grammar or punctuation fix, or if it included a URL it might change one day...)

I've found this approach is the best sort of middle ground.
The built in tutorial isn't a bad place to start. I think that's what I used to get going in emacs over 20 years ago.
What I'm saying is simply that while John Q. Citizen has the unlimited right to publish his opinions, I do not think Acme Corp. should have the unlimited right to publish its opinions. So a book authored by John Q. Citizen could not legally have its publication restricted, but a book authored by Acme Corp. could, if a legislative body chose to do so.

Similarly, John Q. Citizen is absolutely free to engage in political activism, but Acme Corp. should not be.

Also, the gloom-and-doom death-of-individual-speech scenarios people like to propose in response to this did not occur during periods when corporate speech was restricted by law, which is a telling counterpoint.
