You're 100% right but also 100% wrong.

Like I said before you're viewing it from the perspective of a developer but not from the perspective of a Business person.

Instead of saying `Users cannot sing up if everything is broken` you need to see it from a Business perspective, and communicate it to them in the language they understand.

For example,
`From our quarterly earnings report we need to have 10,0000 new clients signed up by the end of the month to reach the goal. We have on average 2,000 sign-ups per day. On the 2nd, 3rd of last month two of the critical system's fell over, and this result in a estimated 4,000 failed client acquisitions. The estimate from our quarterly earnings each new customer bring's in a revenue of $300 net profit from each client for the quarter. As a result of the system crash our quarterly earnings will be down 1.2 Million.`

Your job is to communicate clearly in the language they understand how it will achieve their goals. You're not the only department/manager who is requiring resources from the Business. As I stated before you're there to serve the business to achieve their goals.
Exactly how many prisoners have a criminal empire to run from prison.

Most of them have nothing. And communication would be of no concern, or am I missing something.
I was once hired for a C++ position _because_ I hated on C++ during the interview.
Are you suggesting that Elon should start producing products that are commercially unviable in an attempt to appear charitable?
If I was a hacker, bitcoin ecosystem companies would look like mighty tempting targets. Combine the high value of the data (wallets), often inexperienced security teams, lack of security regulation or oversight, and the presence of additional assets sellable on the black market - like a bunch of personal information - and you have a very juicy target for cyber attack.

I hope the big bitcoin players are being very diligent about their security practices right now.
I don’t know the law or the established ethics (if any exist), but I would hope that it isn’t frowned upon to focus recruiting efforts toward certain demographics with the goal of receiving qualified applicants at the same proportions as the general population (e.g. 50/50 male and female).
There are many legal reasons to want to limit ads to the elderly. If you're selling a product that disproportionately is bought by elderly people, such as adult diapers, would you prefer to show everyone the ad, or save money and only target the ad to the elderly?

Edit: I'm referring to the Facebook ads platform in general, and not specifically job ads. I agree that job ads shouldn't have the option to target age groups.
Shepherding literally meaning "sheep herding"?
There was a good NBC dateline documentary about it years ago. The biggest stockpiles were being dismantled slowly, but they were indeed leaking, and it was a gargantuan project to neutralize the weapons and containers full of VX. I'm not sure where we're at now. I'll look it up later when I'm home.
Not quite standardized, but Firefox appears to allow extension-less screensharing as of FF 52

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Screensharing

https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html

This is all done with parameters specified to getUserMedia as opposed to Chrome's extension-only "chrome.desktopCapture.chooseDesktopMedia"

As far as I can tell, the reason why screen-sharing is not more widely accessible is because of a security UX issue rather than a technical limitation. Both Firefox and Chrome are can provide you with media stream ID's to use in WebRTC negotiation, they differ mostly in the boundaries required to authorize access.

I use KVM on Debian, but does it matter? KVM is distro agnostic.
>> And in that hypothetical reality no one ever needs recourse to a legal system for contractual disputes

I'm not saying that. But in practice, the legal system favors those who can afford the time and money to go through the process. That's why a lot of cases are settled instead of going to trial. If the case isn't particularly clear cut, it's an expensive proposition for the individual or small business, especially if you can't find a lawyer who thinks your case is worth his/her while.

>> I've been through lawsuits

You or your company? Did you pay any of the legal fees out of your own pocket?

For this specific case, we're talking about $35K being a significant chunk of money for the OP. He had to close two bank accounts because they "hit negative balance".

How much do you think they can afford to spend to fight this case before it becomes a money pit? A good lawyer requires an up-front retainer, and is easily 150/hr, those billable hours add up very quickly.

Sure the contracts might be enforceable, but he's probably going to have to borrow money to even have a chance to squeeze money out of the PR company.

You might not need to go as far as hiring a PI, but some common sense would have gone a long way. Letting someone with whom you don't have a longstanding relationship hold your money for you is generally a bad idea. I have to wonder if they even checked with the PR company's "Australian client" to see if they were legit about doing wire transfers.
Engineers aren't blameless, here. In fact they're at least as much the problem as "bad employers". Constantly seeking to use the latest shiny tech toy whether it's appropriate or not (e.g. "Big Data" tools to run stuff on a few GB of data) is a thing, especially in the Bay Area. It leads to a bunch of people with a small amount of shallow experience in a large number of soon-to-be-deprecated technologies. Few want to do the hard work of actual engineering.

Also, that the product is 10% better/more stable/whatever frequently does not translate into even a 10% increase in sales. So it's not worth it (from the business' perspective) to invest in that quality. Pick some other arbitrary point (e.g. 20% better/20% boost in sales, etc.), right down to some threshold whereby the company simply doesn't even have a product that can be demonstrated.
> ...in both cases rendering a male applicant at a substantial disadvantage (comparatively to history).

The reduction of inequalities tends to have this sort of effect on those who benefitted from inequality, more or less by definition. I will go along with your stated intention of wanting to provoke thought by saying that I think it is a bogus argument against equality, that ignores the unjustifiable harm done by discrimination. Furthermore, by itself, it does not establish the 'zero sum' part of 'zero sum game'.

BTW, grammatically speaking, the 'it' in the question you pose appears to refer to the 'sexual harassment' of the title, but your comment seems to be about something else altogether.
Maybe another approach to the problem could be found in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_principle
In 1868 with the ratification of the 14th amendment (specifically the Equal Protection Clause). It doesn't specifically guarantee that everyone has the right to get married to anyone that they want, just that everyone must have an equal right to marry anyone that anyone else does. So a state could get rid of marriage altogether, but if it allows it at all it must allow everyone the same choices of who to marry that it allows anyone else.
Please back up the legitimacy of this claim. That payments were overdue (not that the chief moron said anything).
We should not judge a company's action by its intent, but by it's results. It should not matter what the intent is. If the result is a hiring process that does not find older people, it is clearly discriminatory.
I'm not rich but I hate taking transit partly because of the people. Some kids in the back are being noisy, the homeless man there is pestering me for food because I have grocery bags, and some guy is falling asleep on my shoulder.

Gee, what a great time.
I don't know a tremendous amount about cell towers, but I was under the impression that they couldn't very accurately pinpoint locations - I was thinking more of a [foxhunting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmitter_hunting)-style location, where you could (hopefully) find a phone's hiding place with relative ease.

Living in Seattle I miss the skytrain.
You're extrapolating a lot here: this is a demonstration in a mock environment. There's no indication that this is going to be rolled out as-is and used as the final arbiter of justice. Yes, denying justice 10% of the time is unacceptable. But that's not what's being presented here.

As an aside, the comment you're referring to was dead on arrival. It looks like that account has been banned.
I absolutely love OSM, even though I usually use Google maps in my day to day. Mainly I strongly support the open licensing and how quickly and easy it is to contribute. I actually added ~500 house outlines and ~150 house addresses to my hometown in the past couple days - it gets really addicting!

I really hope that one day OSM will be able to better compete with Google maps. I feel like there is a serious lack of OSM mobile apps. The only one I know of (that is acceptable) is Maps.me, but I find it too cluttered compared to Google maps.
You need dedicated supported hardware though.
> Making the iPad a giant iPhone was a big mistake.

Making the iPad a giant iPhone gave it amazing standby battery life, and access to a wide range of games and apps, many of them kid friendly.

Compare that to a Windows tablet, which I cannot leave sitting next to my couch for a week, come back, push a button, and have it respond immediately. (Though on occasion Windows' standby modes do work...)
Let me clarify. By "fear", I mean fear of losing their seats, not their heads. Clearly, they don't fear either but I'm only implying that government would work better if elected positions were easier to lose.
Is someone offering to pay? The reason we do not have a Pennsy anymore is that they went bankrupt, partly because they had to compete with subsidized highways and airports (there are various other reasons).

The fact is that PTC is an expensive way to increase the safety of one of the safest ways people can travel. Automobiles are far more dangerous. If the billions of dollars being spent on PTC were instead used to expand passenger service (and take cars off the road) we would almost certainly save more lives.

Also keep in mind that PTC solves just one of many ways that train wrecks can occur. It is not hard to find examples of other recent fatal incidents that PTC would have done nothing to prevent:

Isn’t there some legal standard for jobs with legitimate requirements that inherently discriminate? I’m thinking of obvious cases like acting or modeling, but I’m sure there are subtler more common instances, like requirements for physical strength that will sway overwhelmingly male.
If there were a list of such companies, I would patronize them.
Yeah, I pretty sure that the NX -> NS transition was before OPENSTEP (NeXT & Sun) and corresponded with retain-release. I too started with 3.x and it was NS then.
You know what, joking aside, I like Rick Astley, and "Never Gonna Give You Up" isn't a bad song, as pop songs go.
From my comment: "I wouldn't hire me to work on a JavaScript stack.... They're just biases that haven't a good justification."

I know this. And I wouldn't want to work with JS devs. At all. It's a win-win for all of us that I don't apply to those positions.
I wish I could upvote this a million times.
You can also pay the extra few $'s a month to have more concurrent streams.
I do not see how someone could enjoy being pranked on the kind of level you're talking about these guys doing.

I'd argue that if they put the engineering effort into BFR that much earlier, we might have a vehicle by now that can meet those demands as well as be a much better mars vehicle.

I get the feeling Jean-Louis Gassée would have probably pushed out the existing management the same way Steve Jobs did, but I just don't think he would have been successful at reviving the company.

I had both BeOS and NeXTSTEP and pretty much left BeOS to sit while NeXTSTEP was my daily driver (along with a Windows NT machine because IBM was problematic with OS/2).
Yes, it is.

It's weird how that works... I try to avoid unneeded complexity as much as possible for as long as possible... and when I do need complexity, I try to make it as easy to use as possible, so that it's less in your face on reuse.

I'm consistently amazed at how much of a pain in the ass things tend to get when people try to build solutions in their early 20's, vs 30's and now in my 40's. Not to mention how much my viewpoint has changed in the past 20+ years in software.

I'm pretty happy when I can remove a bunch of dead/unused code trees, commented out swaths of crap, and refactor portions of a codebase into 1/5 the size.
I am more interested in the post-NeXT acquisition Apple with Gil Amelio and later Ellen Hancock as CEO. Thinking about it, the path without Steve Jobs of "CHRP" and maybe eventually open-sourcing OS X completely would probably work better in a world where PC manufacturing was not outsourced to China.
The problem you're ignoring is that demand vastly outpaces supply which is why the cost of medallions is so inflated. Additional medallions could be sold by the city to increase supply without affecting existing cab utilization or profits but that doesn't happen. Why? Well because the medallion owners rent their medallions out and if the supply of medallions increases then the demand and thus rent paid for medallions go down.
My title is "architect". I use scare quotes because I agree with what you wrote and I dislike being associated with the type of people and the jobs that make it true. I, also, only work at places where the interview is sufficiently technical and there are no separate design-only roles.

It's been surprising to me how much I've had to fight people on this issue in the past.
Fun Fact: Writing a custom memory allocator is a somewhat common code exercise when applying for games jobs.
There are some older people who go to college, sure, but I would hope that the law concerns itself with the intent and/or the effect of the segmentation. There are probably some younger people who for whatever reason see the Facebook ads for older people too, but the intent of that segmentation is obvious, and I would hope the law would make provisions for that.
What about if two users are editing the same object? How do you reconcile or merge the changes?
AFAIK I think tear-off menus was considered for System 7, but was removed before release. I think Rhapsody had it too. It is probably more useful for touch tablets now, but Windows never supported it as far as I know.

> Might they not have more success by understanding exactly this disconnect in mentalities over streaming services

There's no disconnect, because they don't actually believe this. It's just the line they're using, and the line that their lobbyists and lawyers will use. Until there's a robust technical solution (maybe facial registration?), they need to try social and legal ways to maintain and boost their margins.
Certainly 1 and 2 but I believe younger people are more likely to work longer hours because they are less likely to have families.

Even if you didn't have family obligations I think when people get older they are less impressed with beer in the kitchen and ping pong tables and would rather not be in the office after 7:00PM.
Faraday prison cells.
The article does not explain the use of the word "rush" anywhere in the article. The article infers that because the line opened before the PTC system was ready that it was rushed. The article even inserted a disclaimer:

"The agencies did not immediately respond to questions about why they did so [publicize line opening] while the speed-control technology was still months away."

That is lazy reporting. All documents about construction details and timelines are available from the project website.
Bitcoin isn't growing in value because it represents shares of a business that makes real money: it's growing in value because demand is increasing. You can directly connect AAPL's profitability with the value of the phones and computers they produce. Bitcoin does not have such an analogue. The "asset" behind Bitcoin is one part the group of miners who consider to keep the ledger going, one part the ability to facilitate a trade using that shared ledger, and three parts speculation. It's the speculative component that makes it, and all other cryptocurrency, more gambling than investment.
Quantum in the Cloud
I agree; every day we stray further from the fundamentals. Xen, and to a lesser extent Docker, and other tools, do help beautify some of the underlying technologies and processes that may have come before them, but that does not make the usability sacrifice justified in situations like these.

I'm afraid I don't have a holistic answer, in this instance, that satisfies the requirement that the developers eat and be clothed, and that the users have an unimpeded work flow. Maybe it's a moral solution needed between all users, of all payment tiers, to agree not to abuse the intent of the permissive nature of the free-tier user agreement. It will be interesting seeing how this plays out.

When I see the word Electron, I just don't install the "app." I am convinced that the 3MB winamp does just a good of a job being a media player as the stupid "electron" "app" that takes 20x as much RAM.
That's interesting.

I see the HAYP art organization is mostly made up (at the top, i.e. the curators) of people who were brought up in Western Europe/North America. Whether what they are bringing is really valuable must be difficult to determine.

Entrepreneurial artworld thinking can be more about trendiness and superficial experience of insight/events, a coat of 'cool' paint on reality. It's definitely a very different activity from scientific research.

>The average age of Facebook users is completely unrelated.

No it isn't -- to make an extreme point, if 100% of the audience is > 50 years old, it wouldn't matter which age group you are targeting because your target demographic isn't there. The poster below, who points to younger generations fleeing Facebook are exactly in line with my point -- the 20-somethings are on to Insta-chat-whatevers next. If you really wanted to discriminate by age, you'd go there instead. That stated -- of course if the advertisers are setting their ads to only show to certain age groups, then they are discriminating -- but that's true regardless of the medium.

For what it's worth, I'm not on any of these social networks, unless HN counts. And yes, my life is better for it.
Don't these also have a legit use for people like journalists, who may also require a covert means of communication?
> maybe they discriminate because you call the designs of other people shoddy.

I'm primarily calling my designs shoddy when I had only a few years of experience.
Oh don't worry, they're still around: https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/headers/os/kernel... :)

Our own API documentation is still a massive work in progress. The old Be Book should still have them documented, though.
I've been building web applications for over two decades... I love most of the newer tooling over anything I had even a decade ago. Though I do prefer React+* over Angular. I've kept up, some things I love, somethings I frankly use sparingly... that said, I'm definitely biased.

I'm more likely to ride on the bleeding edge (Node 8, Webpack 3, Babel 7) than most. I am afraid though, in under a decade it will be an uphill battle to find work (I'm 43 at the end of the month).
Possibly licensing? Not sure though, I run my gaming VM at home with hardware passthrough and basically no issues (except fairly slow disk i/o, maybe that is the issue?). I think KVM is simply stronger when it comes to resource management with its VMs also running the linux kernel, it doesn't get as much freedom to balance load across your windows VMs.

EDIT: The correct answer was posted by blinkingled before I finished typing this up hahah, read their post instead of this one :)
What?

I'm not going to upload footage to a site to make subs.

There is no shortage of subtitling tools that run locally on your PC and just open the video.
Older employees are significantly more expensive for your employer provided health insurance in the US. Not sure how that translates to bigger co's but it's significant for small firms.
> Adding subtitles to videos has been a really hard problem

For whom? When? There are decent applications for this, some of them even free.

I've seen fantastic fansubbing work, with beautifully rendered, animated subtitles; and that was already years ago.

Making basic SRT's is easily accomplished in a rudimentary program like the old Subtitle Workshop by URUSoft: http://subworkshop.sourceforge.net/

(Looks like those guy have been active lately and have some new stuff out: http://www.uruworks.net/index.html )

Burning subs into a video is easily done with a ffmpeg one-liner (using its "libass" renderer or whatever). (Someone nontechnical may need help putting together that oneliner, but after that it's just repetition.) It's generally a bad idea; don't hard sub if you can avoid it and make the video available without the hard subs.
Call me cynical, but I am always surprised when people sincerely appeal to "agile/scrum values" of team autonomy or whatever to contest management diktats because, like... isn't it totally predictable that that part will be ignored whenever it is inconvenient?
Bryan Cantrill says it best, I think[1]: "If you had to explain the Nazis to someone who had never heard of WWII but was an oracle customer, there's a very good chance you would actually explain the Nazis as an Oracle allegory."

There are more choice quotes in someone else's HN comment about Bryan Cantrill on Oracle.[2] I highly recommend any talk you can find of Bryan Cantrill. A wonderful mix of industry history and great delivery.
