I think the outrage comes from the appearance of predatory behavior by men who hold great power in an already male-dominated industry.

I'm sure it's nice to have enough money to get people to bend to your will, but using it to manipulate people who are already marginalized in your industry into sleeping with you is not exactly an ethical thing to do. It may not be illegal, but people should maybe ask themselves if the men who use their money for sexual conquest are the kind of men we want controlling tens of billions of dollars in capital.

I have no problem with open-relationships, group sex, drug use etc. amongst consenting adults - I have dabbled myself - but I do have a problem with power dynamics coming into play and exerting unfair pressure on people to engage in sexual situations that they wouldn't otherwise consent to.
There's a lot in this article that raises red flags for me, but more about the journalism then the subject. There's an element of sensationalism implying that this is a 'side' of Silicon Valley without offering evidence of prevalence.

> ... Founder X told me.

The things here on the record are by those who aren't involved, those who are involved speaking on the record do so anonymously. It really seems less that this is a 'side' of Silicon Valley but more that there is a small number of people engaged in the activity.

Further drawing into question the author's credibility...

>Managing directors at top-tier investment banks may pocket a million a year and be worth tens of millions after a long career.

Principals at mid-tier firms can make a couple million per year. A million dollar quarterly bonus for a fund manager isn't absurd. Henry Paulson took the Treasury Secretary job because it gave him a tax-free sale of his $500M worth of equities after being a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.

Those at VC funds may have more influence socially because they hold purse strings, but banking is the 'traditional' way to make too much money. I'm really having a hard time not thinking that the entire article is exaggerated.
The Valve employee only confirmed that the bans were correct and that GitHub was not the correct place to dispute the bans. A different employee on Reddit has already confirmed that the "issue" reported on GitHub is incorrect and that the bans were instituted based on multiple criteria. They can't go into it any further without risking compromising their detection systems.
Kind of, if you have a centralized place to perform input data validation, as it should, then it is just a matter to test that piece of code same if you are using a framework. However, I don't understand why you refer to a db in the first place? Is it because I used the injection attack as an example? if that's the case bare in mind that Injection target other interprets as well not only a db.

But getting back to my original idea, what I want to highlight the need of adding cases to cover application security.
Like every Netflix show now has the main characters wearing iWatches and talking on the iPhones?

I'm also not sold on "We bought you out, now keep doing what you were doing before." What's the point of spending all of that money if you're not going to meddle? Netflix's paltry profits can't be all that enticing to Apple.
I suspect that your feeling is incorrect - your word choice has significantly fallen out of favor for use in civilized discourse, at least in the United States. Beyond that it added very little to the discussion, which is often a reason for a down vote around these parts.
There is no easy solution. Look at that TVTropes page for a long list of failure cases.

This approach is at least 20 years old. Others have worked on it. Try investigating one or more of https://github.com/topics/profanity .
Meaning, capitalism hasn't actually meaningfully made good investments in humanity's future. Just the current generation's quality of life at the deep expense of future generations. I don't see that it's a rational answer to humanity's problems at all. Do you? If so, how do you convince a capitalist to invest in their children's world rather than their children's wealth? Humans don't work like that; capitalism is good for people who can exploit others, not for communities.

I likewise have used these. Qt (really C++) development in general suffers from annoyingly slow compile times in my experience. Also, once you go beyond anything trivial, .pro files become complicated as do build systems around them.
I disagree and am horrified by the dystopic image of our entire test suite having two possible results: "everything passed" or "something is wrong".
>if everyone were a doctor right out of med school, the world's net worth would be negative, but everyone would be fed and clothed and be rich in 10 years

If everyone were a doctor that skill would be worthless. People are (mostly) paid according to the amount of value they bring to a company. That value is relative to others in the industry. Knowing how to competently use Microsoft Office (which puts you ahead of 99% of the world population) gets you nowhere in a AI focused startup because it doesn't make you more valuable to them.

>I'm not sure wealth per person is a great way to measure economic prosperity. If you have lots of wealth, does that necessarily translate to more income down the line?

I totally agree with you here. The metric I think matters more is relative wealth. Say you are a software developer making $120,000: in the Silicon Valley that is about average, but in Kentucky that is three times what the average person makes. So in SV you live a "normal" life, but in Kentucky you are decidedly upper class.
You don't have to convict someone to do irreparable damage to their life. See Nigel Lang, the man referred to in the article.
I'm pretty sure you would have gotten replies if it was just worded "Does anybody know any possible benefits of using gradle here?" or the like. I don't think it's much more than that.

Bear in mind we’re at an odd time politically where the GOP controls the White House, the House and the Senate.

There is a very small window to essentially pass legislation unchecked and that hasn’t been easy with a 52-48 (with a tie breaker) majority in the Senate. We saw several failed attempts at repealing Obamacare.

What’s more that majority is about to shrink to 51-49.

My point here is the GOP currently has no time for anything bipartisan. That doesn’t mean they’ll address this of course. But it’s just not as important as the donor class agenda is right now.

Once Doug Jones is seated and we start to approach the midterms expect to see more unifying issues instead of, say, hugely unpopular tax bills for billionaires.

Granular’s mission is to transform the business of farming. We are building out our Systems Engineering / Platform team to meet our scalability, performance, data ingestion pipeline and future product needs. Our tech stack is mainly: Python, Django, Pyramid, Angular, AWS, Postgres, Cloudformation, ECS, Docker and a bunch of other related technologies.
Granular was recently acquired by DowDuPont. Looking for people well versed on the above (or willing to learn). Looking for folks with 3-5 years of experience.

True, in regards to laws, but in some cases their expertise helps. For example, tort reform might be an issue where a bunch of lawyers do have relevant expertise that the rest of us lack, to see possible unintended consequences, and also what is possible given the rest of the system.

But, in the case of IT security, their experience and expertise is, at best, not helpful.

Do you mean for Bazel itself or for building apps with bazel?

Bazel is still a bit away from having Java 9 support [1] and it still requires some system dependencies (for the other languages and cross system support).

I wish more tools would go the "static binary" path that make it easy to build and use wrappers without having to figure out system configuration every single time.

> other ecosystems including C++/Qt, Python, Ruby, Golang, and of course node/JS [...] Setting up a project is still a pain in the butt

I find this is not Java specific and many of those other technologies have similarly painful project config, especially as soon as you do something non-trivial.

> The Java world moves slowly.

"Vendoring" the stdlib, which essentially is what is happening here, alleviates that (at the cost of not sharing source, which is usually OK for the JVM in non-security contexts). As for work life vs home life, that is not very Java specific. Many companies hang back on old standards by choice.
Apple is notoriously bureaucratic. So its not surprising that innovation is stifled. I really hate this duality b/w innovation and stability... perhaps if more startups were focused on longer term survivability, it would be better for society overall?
AMPTAB, Inc | Both Principal and Junior SDEs | Seattle, WA | On-site, Full-time, INTERNS

We're making software for Manufacturers and Retailers to exchange product/ordering information in a more accurate and timely manner. In a nutshell: replacing Excel and Dropbox with purpose-built software. If you're a retailer we are vendor-management system to you, if you're a manufacturer we're a customer-management and content-management system. There is a surprising lot of things that modern technology can add to the supply chain management world. Exciting stuff.

In the principal role you will take over a few outcomes (feature + feature adoption + feedback + iteration) and drive them to completion. Things are going well if I can stop worrying about a task that you have taken upon yourself.

In the junior role you're expected to take direction and learn about the business and the system as you go about adding features, starting from smaller ones and progressing towards more complicated ones.

You don't have to know the stack when you come it, but then you will have to pick it up as you go. ASP.NET MVC / MSSQL / AWS / iOS / html+css+js+Vue.js

In the interview I care more about ability to pick up skills, rather than any particular skill. The second thing I care about is ability to keep many moving parts in one's head for the duration of a conversation. It might be rather hard for you to self-assess though.

Benefits, competitive salary, good working hours, time off. Office with parking in SODO.

> I've also heard the theory based on exposure times, but by the very late 1800s exposure times had dropped dramatically. Though it could be argued that not smiling was a carry-over from the days of long exposure. Again, though, documentation I've seen simply said, "that's just how it was done".

Presumably photographic portraits were done in the style of painted portraits.
> Vue is overkill

The number of projects where something as small and simple as Vue could be considered overkill has to be remarkably small, I feel. I've used Vue in single pages (i.e. a single page of a large application) inside a single div as needed. In my case attaching behavior inside a modal dialog (ie the modal was managed by some other framework). It is very small and lean as is.
This should be obvious, but since it apparently isn't: if you think Google image search provides a useful and cogent analysis of any complex social issue or movement, you are...um, uh, not correct.

>What's up with all these sensational articles about Silicon Valley? Maybe the lifestyle is different as a VC, but as an engineer, this seems so disjointed from reality that it's almost farcical. I can barely get some of my coworkers to stop talking about code for more than a breath. There's no way that they're engaging in any of these activities.

Well damn. The whole idea is kinda a gross-out to me personally, but if the world is going to suffer horrific wealth inequality, then for God's sakes, I at least want the decadent upper class to be having fun with it. From each according to his ability to throw freakin' huge parties, to each according to his ability and desire to handle himself maturely at freakin' huge parties.
I thought the book was a really outstanding trip down nostalgia lane, and a great way to bridge the past with the future. However, that being said, I think the movie (from the trailers at least) appears to push things too futuristic.
> transfers are non-repudiable

Technically, but not legally.

Transfers are 100% reversible by going to court, so Bitcoin is really only non-reversible for criminal activity (dealing drugs, gambling, etc) where someone cannot bring an action because the contract was illegal in the first place.

This technical non-repudiability is a feature that only works for criminals and is an anti-feature for legitimate users.
> There's a huge savings in accepting payments in a form that the buyer can't reverse.

Bitcoin just kind of flips the problem, it doesn't solve it. In a world where payments can easily be reversed, sellers take on all the risk. In a world where they can't be, buyers take all the risk.

You can get pretty far with a reputation system, and in a market with many more buyers than sellers it's nice that now only the seller's reputation matters. But for a lot of people there's still benefit in having a trusted middleman like Paypal.

However, what if keeping customer information secure was a contractual obligation as part of offering products for sale, or services for hire? Isn't a generic concept like that well-understood for lawyers and other people familiar with law?
I think you're assuming that the algorithm must be reversible, but I don't see why. For example, hash(site|strong_master_password) isn't reversible under reasonable assumptions.

If the algorithm is not reversible, "one password is compromised, they all are" isn't true. Only if the master password is compromised, then all your passwords are (but this is exactly the same with any password manager.)

The one thing that personally I don't like about vaults is availability of my passwords. You need your password manager (i.e. the app) to get your passwords. I've had multiple situations, typically when traveling, where I didn't have access to my devices, and thus I didn't have the app.
IMHO this issue is already dead and buried on capitol hill. The window to act has already passed. There's no hope of seeing action on this until another 300M Americans have had their data stolen.
I’m still using jquery. I know it’s kinda old. But I’m not a designer, I have to purchase templates to use. Most templates use jquery and bootstrap. I tried mixing it with react, but there were compatibility issues.

I also considered using pure react or vue. But they don’t seem to have that many ui components and I don’t have the energy to implement them myself.
I agree on the elevated prices but assumed that it was avoiding the social stigma of turning up to a BBQ empty-handed. Lentil/chickpea burgers are often delicious but those faux sausages tend to be bloody awful! :)

I believe they meant that poverty is experienced differently by gender, not that it only happens to one gender.
Our situation is almost identical. I refuse to even go to the doctor unless I have something I suspect is going to be life threatening. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but she understands. I grew up in Europe under the "socialist model" and I miss it dearly.

If I need to go because I have an infection, I go to the indigent clinic, and pay the $25 for anything they need to do. I then go around the corner to the indigent pharmacy and get my $4 RX.

Yes, we have insurance. But it's still so freaking expensive to use it I never go. Insurance premiums, co-pays, RX costs. Why even go unless you HAVE to go. My wife takes the children to see the doctor when they need it. I refuse to go. I've not had a physical since the early 90s and I don't plan on going. I refuse to enrich the system. Now that the mandate has been undone, I may drop myself and cover my family alone. I can always go to the indigent clinic. Anything more serious and I just cannot afford to pay. I do not want to leave my family in medical bankruptcy or massive debt. It really sucks that in America, one has to first consider whether one can afford to visit the doctor in the first place. And I cannot convince my wife to consider living in Europe or Australia, both places we could easily move to and adapt with our relative skill sets.
Yeah, I might have worded that poorly - buying Buddybuild almost certanly wasn't to interfere with Android development.

That's really complicated. One thing that drives higher rates of homelessness for men is that it is safer for them. Homeless women are at high risk of being raped. Women often put up with things men will not tolerate in order to avoid the street because it is the lesser evil.

Of course, that isn't something most people want to hear. I am a woman and I spent 5.7 years homeless. It helped me solve some of my intractable personal problems. I am newly off the street and recently applied for my dream job. I hope to soon have the life I always wanted and could not arrange. I got it in part by taking the whole deal involved in exercising agency like a man, a luxury many women lack.

But commenting on such things tends to not be well received. Men want to play their own victim card when it comes to that statistic and it is never acceptable to point out that there is an element of choice involved and the greater degree of agency generally exercised by men is a driving factor in higher rates of male homelessness. It sounds like victim blaming to a lot of people.
So do a video call and have them show the passport or insist on FTF interviews. BTW I markdown companies that use skype for first interviews as with those that don't offer expenses.
