Possibly. It also could've been consensual (or been perceived as consensual) at the time, and reported as a concern later. The issue with relationships with subordinates is about the power dynamic, it's entirely plausible that both Andy Rubin and the other individual considered it a consensual relationship. The woman might've found out about effects it had on her career at a later date, or even just realized later that what had occurred was inappropriate.

Definitely not a lot of information to go on right now, especially considering that the original source of the report is paywalled. (The Information does some great work, I'd actually be really tempted to buy in if not for the $400 price tag.)
Did you bring it up with your management? The sibling comments about Kanban are spot on.

Management probably is rightly worried about tracking and estimating, if you can offer an alternative that can get them that they'll be on board.

However, your description of "1-2 months for a couple developers" does ring warning bells for me. Having the adequate granularity is good. Also, many times "1-2 months" doesn't take into account everything needed.

I absolutely agree that "wait for the end of the sprint and present" is not a good way to do it.

If I were a manager, I'd try to minimize "unknowns" and "challenges", I understand what you're saying as a developer, there has to be a balance - where I am we agreed to have google-style 20% research time and us developers have a lot of agency and input into schedules and next steps.

But why do you assume such extreme inflexibility? I actually interviewed a blind person, and believe me, I didn't write/draw stuff and expect him to be able to read it.

Process is about the rule, not the exception. If you don't have killer credentials, and don't do well on the "whiteboard interview", what will happen is that we assume you might not handle pressure well/ are timid, and we'll give you a fairly consistent "homework" (e.g. "fix this Firefox bug, or at the very least analyze the root cause/ how it should be fixed. Send us a log of what you did to narrow down on the issue and on the solution"). If you don't have time to do that (which is possible)... yes, we may not hire you - but, please propose a better alternative if you have one, for I have not found it. I'd actually be very grateful if you can help me find a way to improve this process.

Some weird tricks that worked for me:

1. Hire a weight lifting trainer. I go 3 times a week, and I never have to think about it. The "not having to think" is important.

2. Get a standing desk. I don't always use it (especially hard after leg day), but it's good to alternate sitting/standing.

3. Don't get too excited or too frustrated about gym. Just another day. The more days you go the less you care about an occasional bad day.

4. Don't eat sugar on purpose (including candy, cake, jam, too much fruit). Entirely stop drinking coke and similar sodas. If you have to, replace them with kombucha.

5. Drink water. A lot.

As much as I love to hate on Snapchat, there's probably no reason to use the Camera API for high quality pictures given Snapchat's use case. And if your nudes were going to be leaked would you rather they were blurred or high-res?

Probably also to run the actual application. But a Linux kernel is a different beast than macOS versions. macOS versions are pretty stale in terms of features to change abruptly with a new release.

But I think if you keep compiling for older versions you should be able to stay on an older version for a while without newer versions of the OS refusing to run it.

It's just that sometimes new features are introduced that require you to change something in your application because there's a new or deprecated framework. Apple likes to break things to not drag a lot of legacy around.

Phrased this way, it starts to sound like an ML problem. Optimize based on a cost function, now what cost function do we use?

Having people choose to maximize happiness seems to be leading to worse outcomes by many objective standards. The monetary costs are high for the society in aggregate (and the externalities are not distributed according to the costs), health outcomes seem to be getting worse even to the extreme of lowering life expectancy, and so on. Purely seeking individual happiness seems like the wrong cost function based on that.

Of course, focusing only on economic cost to society would be even worse, and health outcomes tend to be based in large part on individual happiness.

I guess I'm saying that as you've characterized things, you make it sound like the "right" position is the correct one, but there seem to be a lot of things about that position that aren't so great. To be fair, you said "less total utilitarian happiness," but I thought it might help to give examples.

Sorry, but it seems we know too little at this point to already turn this into another debate about the puritanical oppression of American capitalism vs. the free love ethic elsewhere in the world.

What has been reported thus far is this:

> Google reportedly launched an internal investigation into Rubin’s relationship with a subordinate after a woman complained to Human Resources. The woman who filed a complaint to HR is said to have worked on the Android team, which Rubin ran. There are no details in the report on the nature of the woman’s relationship with Rubin. Google has a policy that does not allow relationships between supervisors and subordinates on the same team.

Until we get more information and confirmation that the complaint involves a consensual, non-entangling relationship between Rubin and a subordinate and that maybe they're even halfway into planning their wedding -- and yet Rubin is still going to be given an ax, then maybe we can go into the culture wars.

BTW, having a relationship with your coworker is not the same as having a relationship with your subordinate, though the latter is a subclass of the former.
I think it was on purpose, nested comments being an illustration of a (small) directory structure. Some comments about Lisp achieve a similar effect by littering themselves with parentheses.
I agree - you can present a topic before the student is ready and confuse. That happens quite often, in fact. But it's not the fault of the language. And the student must have that background to be prepared.

C was the "universal assembly language." In its day, it was unimaginable that one would learn to program a computer without an understanding of the hardware underneath, or computer architecture in general.

>>a systemic aversion to copying data
But this isn't an issue with the C language or pointers, per se; an "aversion" to unnecessarily moving data is the very essence of optimization. [As part of choosing the right algorithm to begin with, of course.] As Michael Abrash wrote: "the fastest code is the code that never runs." So eliminating work (such as moving bits across a bus) is key.
I fail to see the connection to the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space.
Thank you! Please use option `-n` to limit the number of results per page.
Most should choose a more pleasant and productive language, so that the road to make something working and interesting is not uneccesarily long. Starting with C increases the chances of getting stuck and never getting a good feeling about programming - which is sorely needed to stick to it.
If this is failure, I'd love to see success...

Totally agree with you - personally C would have been a very difficult first language for me. Java and Ruby were tough enough at the outset when I started down the programming path. Now I work primarily in C and have been doing so for the last four years or so. Still get hung up on subtle gotchas, especially when interfacing with hardware!
:-) Yes, I thought of twitter after posting here.
I believe the point mcny is making is that the developers chose to focus on the social/media split thing instead of the camera API thing. "Making the app actually take photos" means devoting resources to that instead of devoting them to this new feature they've announced today.
The existence of counterexamples isn’t that notable here. OPs position is “dogs are only in it for the food.”

Dogs that are not only in it for the food are a useful counterexample, because it trumps the sweeping “only.”

That -some- dogs are in it for the food doesn’t move the needle in the debate one way or the other.
> Food companies such as Procter and Gamble, Kraft, and Campbell Soup were also curious about Lands’s work and invited him to give presentations. “But they didn’t want to touch the idea that they might be selling foods that were harmful to people with a ten-foot pole,” says Lands. “Bill, we sell foods that people ask for,” Lands recalls one executive explaining. “We don’t tell the people what to eat. If you convince the public that our food should have a different balance, we’ll change it.”

- The Queen of Fats by Susan Allport

Corporations are not guilt free in this mess, but they are not the root of the problem. The high carb, high omega 6 guidelines that have caused our health crisis were instituted in haste and ignorance by the government. The government corn subsidies have distorted the market and make junk processed corn products cheaper than healthy food. Guidelines to reduce saturated fat and cholesterol have caused people to move to industrial seed oils, causing a overconsumption of omega6 fatty acids and consequential inflammatory disease. Corporations have simply provided what we have asked for. The author of this argument is ignorant of the real causes of disease and chooses to blame cheese and salt for our problems. I'm much happier with corporations and the ability to make my own, well informed health choices than government interference.

You can't create what can't exist. Neutrality at best is just presenting as many different (credible) views as possible, but usually contains a "straw man" or two.
I've heard the quote that says, paraphrased: "the main reason we do anything is to have sex, and to feel great amongst our peers."

Developers were discussing this weeks ago on the Apple developer forum...
I think both options together are good. Both capitalist and government-planned economies have inefficiencies, but at different areas.

If you have some service provided by government, then it's sometimes inefficient. These inefficiencies can only be reduced by better governance, i.e. people actually getting involved politically and forcing the management to straighten it out.

If you have some service provided by only private companies for profits, then perhaps the production is efficient, but this efficiency can become lost for the end customer in the form of profits. In theory, this shouldn't happen due to competition but in practice it happens a lot (almost no private company operates at marginal costs).

So if you have a choice of both options, in theory you should get optimal results. In practice, it is difficult for societies to keep both options, for reasons:

1. If the public option is too good (too efficient), no private companies want to compete (no profit). For example, look at some state-owned European companies, such as Swiss post or railways.

2. If the private option is too good (only decent profit), then there is no reason to have the public option. People want to avoid governance, if possible. The people who pay for private option will question if they actually need to fund the public option from taxes if the private ones are comparably good.

So I think the big problem is that system with both (the best one) is unstable.
What kind of photo quality do you need to take a selfie to send to your BFF with cat ears drawn on?

I've never bought anything because I saw it on facebook or in a google ad or anywhere else like that.

I don’t necessarily agree with the article or the solutions proposed (and definitely not the subhead that free markets are a disaster) but your comment actually nearly illustrates why we need to address basic needs (health, food, shelter) differently from other stuff. Because while you are right about music, any food is almost always better than no food, unlike the music scenario.

> I built my current desktop in 2011

Which makes it a 32nm Sandy Bridge, likely a i7 2600K, which were really popular. I had one too. That's a 3.4GHz part with a single-core turbo to 3.8GHz, and an IPC maybe 5-10% slower than Kaby/Coffee Lake (which are at 14nm). So that puts it about the same performance level as the lowest end (i3 8100) offering on the current process, and at about 60-70% higher power.

So it's not that things have stopped. It's just much slower progress than you're used to. The desktop world is power-agnostic, so you're missing most of the innovation. Comparing a Sandy Bridge laptop to modern equivalents is a much more striking contrast: my current laptop (with a high performance CPU) will literally do a full day of work on a single battery, where nothing in 2011 was available to do that.

I think you're underestimating the value here. Sites like Wikia host an unimaginable sum of knowledge that appears nowhere else in the world. If you search for anything related to TV shows, comics, gaming, etc. you will end up on a Wikia article. For games like Minecraft, Wikis are a core part of the how you play the game.

> I want us to report objectively and factually and fairly on the news with no other agenda than this: The ultimate arbiters of the truth are the facts of reality.

I really hope this idea takes off. The majority of people are itching for non-biased news. mainstream journalism has become 10% facts, and 90% opinions. Both sides just want to push their agenda
I don't quite understand how this is supposed to work anyway. In order to obtain genuine news, you need journalists and correspondents in the field. While sometimes regular citizens can do this job, it seems unlikely that they can do the work in general. Even newspapers and journal do not employ enough journalists, they also need to buy news from freelancers and press agencies.

It seems to me what they are planning is a mere news aggregation site instead. While this may be commendable if it's done the right way, it is also true that too many people already fail to to differentiate between those who actually report and produce news and those who merely copy&paste it from elsewhere or write opinion pieces about news.
They both point to the same place. However, r doesn't have ownership, so when r goes out of scope, the memory won't be freed. However, b does, and so when b goes out of scope, the memory will be freed.

Our Shiba, Kubo, loves human food and treats, and will bark and get up on his hind legs to try to get bits of our meals, but he's not super excited about dog food and we have to leave it out all day for him to eventually get around to eating it (he will though).

At first we actually thought he wasn't food motivated, but that was before we started feeding him human food. He goes into full scavenger/hunter mode whenever he's outside too, and manages to find all sorts of junk on the ground that I swear isn't there until he has it in his mouth.

He actually slipped his harness and ran away for a week earlier this year, and we were able to catch him again with the help of hot dogs and fried chicken (and a lot of hard work and a lot of help from local volunteer organizations).

Evan of Snapchat talks about “performing for your friends” as a strange “side effect” of Snapchat. But the instinct to perform is native to the Snapchat medium.

I think this is a problem.

I went to a concert a few weeks ago. The people beside me would stand still for 10 minutes and then someone would pull out Snapchat. The whole group would turn around, flash a smile and start dancing for the camera. 9 seconds later, they were back to watching the concert.

Performance is a cultural virus that affects our happiness and creates a kind of perfect self-consciousness. It’s “instant replay” for all of life. And just like in American Football, when instant replay arrives, we start to (1) glorify the spectacular, (2) hyper-analyze every angle and (3) expect more moments worthy of instant replay.

Snapchat pushes us to create more of those “replay worthy” moments. We narrate our lives according to the expectations of our “fans.” I hear 8-year-old kids yell “do it for the likes.” They are quietly subverting their self while sublimating the value of the crowd. How do I have an identity when I consistently invite other people - often strangers - to affirm my experiences?

Those concert-goers felt the need to misrepresent their experience of the concert. The 8-year-olds adjusted their behavior to optimize for likes. When I was on Snapchat, I loved seeing myself in other people’s stories. It made me feel popular. I, too, adjusted my behavior to appear more likeable on camera.

Adjusting Snapchat’s interface will do nothing to address the intrinsic ways that Snapchat reorients our relationships around performance.

Perhaps this is obvious, but family and friends should love me the way I am. Not some imaginary version of me. And Snapchat nudges me to fake it.
I always liked that, because what you see is what you get, and it's much faster.
Please provide some evidence that sexual/romantic relationships with subordinates is protected behavior in Germany. I cannot imagine that Germany has enshrined in law the right to have sex with subordinates.
Aren't the photos on Snapchat intended to be ephemeral? I'd be totally okay with potato quality if I was sharing something quickly because Snapchat isn't a photography app.

It's not as if Snapchat are a tiny company with nobody smart enough to notice there's a camera API, this is intentional.

If you want to send a quality photo to a friend, there are apps for that.
