No, it's just that the rise of Hitler was in part a reaction to the Communists that were throwing reason away in the name of "social progress" much as today's left is. An unreasonable reaction to an unreasonable action, both impossible to restrain with reason...
I think GP was referring to the fact that bitbucket.org-the-website is just the Atlassian-hosted installation of BitBucket-the-Atlassian-product, which you can also self-host and self-administrate.

It is payware, but reasonably affordable ($10/10 users, usually).

I've seen companies squeeze some (probably contract-breaching) huge numbers of users out of the very small plans of Atlassian software, as well, usually via insane multiple-people-using-same-account editing conventions.

>> They can afford to have more moral fiber,

Your assumption ignores the fact that morals are relative and can be built around individual life experiences. There are plenty of segments of the population who don't trust the government or law enforcement organizations because they've seen or experienced corruption.

Your assumption also ignores the fact that some people could have debt and mouths to feed other than their own. People who aren't sitting on a huge rainy day fund could be risk averse when it comes to career changes.

If you read the article the mangers don't talk about conservative views but 'anti-diversity' views, which make more sense how they can make an environment more "hostile".
For me it's more like it's all just a memory I suddenly have when I wake up, there does not really seems to be a "now" in the dreams.

Sometimes there is some sort of realization of being in a dream but it's always at the moment I'm waking up.

I'm pretty jealous of people with lucid dreams, it must be fantastic.

I was giving GP the benefit of the doubt in assuming they were referring to some other incidents outside the lawsuit that showed Damore is a fraud or his lawyer is unethical.

I mean, I've heard Damore be accused of all kinds of things, but I haven't heard anyone say he's a fraud before. I just assumed it's a detail that got lost in the discussion about whether or not he's a terrible sexist and/or racist. I haven't heard of his lawyer before so I wouldn't know anything about that.
The problem is that if you spin up a GitLab in DO or Linode, there is a chance that your VM will get lost due to hardware failure. You also need to manage backups and stuff.

I'm right there with you, but it doesn't make sense for small teams. Once you get past a point, it starts to make sense to self-host some stuff.

Is there a managed hosting provider that would host all this stuff for you? Like, say "I need GitLab, Jira, Active Directory, and X, Y, Z" and they come back with "$XXX/month for 10 users"?

> a tool whose sole purpose is to block lawful warrants

There's no hint in the article that this was the sole purpose. From the article:

> Employees aware of its existence eventually took to calling it Ripley

So it was not codenamed from the start, there's an implication that a relatively small circle of users knew it.

> Workers in Uber’s IT department were soon tasked with creating a system to keep internal records hidden from intruders

Doesn't necessarily seem like something an ethical developer should refuse to do - it could easily be "sold" internally as security software protecting the sensitive information in case of network intrusion.

See my reply to nik736's comment in this subthread: bitbucket.org is just Atlassian's copy of BitBucket, which you can buy from them and hose yourself.

EDIT: I meant "host", not "hose", but given some of my experience sysadminning Atlassian products, the sentence may still be correct.
The article is very specific about using the title with the conditional. I think it is problematic that the condtional is appended as an end clause in the headline rather than being upfront about it. Dropping the clause from the HN headline is even more problematic because it removes that conditional entirely.

As for the pictures, the only one in the article has nothing to do with black-lists of conservatives, it reads to me like keeping a list of ah*s. In this case, specifically those who make the propagation of a company value difficult. That screenshot doesn't say anything about political affiliation or beliefs. It is focused on actions. If you think any company doesn't have an implicit or even explicit list of 'capable but frustrating employees' you are in for a shock.

Being a conservative may well be a protected class in California, but being a jerk and interfering with the entirely legal strategic goals set by management isn't. The first is about the views you hold, and should be protected. The second is about the things you do at work, and shouldn't be protected.

Germany has much more stringent privacy regulations than the US does - maybe that's the difference.
This is why I mirror all my GitHub repos with GitLab. Redundancy FTW.
Sure, the point I was making is this whole thread is focused on these evil developers who are unethical and immoral and horrible for what they did.

Which is the wrong approach. We don't know enough details to know what they knew or didn't know going into the project. If Uber at the highest level is okay with deceiving the government, then it's not crazy to think they wouldn't inform their developers about the potentially illegal things they were going to do. And this was all in 2015-2016 when Uber was still a "scrappy startup" in the people's eyes and not the monster it's been exposed to be.

However, we 100% know of people who did know about the project, specifically the higher ups. Our anger should be directed at them because they have no excuse.
I wonder if this can help people who suffer from depersonalization and derealization disorder, an endless hell from which there is no escape.
Gitlab did something like that not too long ago.

Great opportunity to renovate and get everything done the way you want it? Dilapidated properties should cost much less, so you can use those savings to renovate. Updated floorplan, drywall, electrical, plumping, windows, floors. Everything designed exactly how you'd want things.

- Open floor plan- efficient use of space. Tons of storage.

- Enough electrical outlets where you need them.

- Cat6 ethernet ran to every room.

- Proper insulation and quality windows for energy efficiency.

I guess if you don't want to wait 2-3 months for a renovation, then you'd want to avoid these properties. But after watching enough Property Brothers it's something I think would be great.
Sure that's possible. I saw Matt Mackall do it for Mercurial first:

From these explorations, I think the four color theorem-type planarity or connectedness is actually less important than a lack of cycles for the perceived complexity, or the difficulty encountered due to that complexity.
I don't think I've ever heard the suggestion of opening VCs to liability for those they invest in. Doing that, even in a very limited sense (like "VCs who fail to employ due diligence") seems like it might cool the market down significantly, but that doesn't sound like the worst thing.
I experience them in a first-person, just like in a real life. I have never had a dream in which I`m observing what happening as a third person, but it`s always on rails and can`t consciousness control the dream. In some cases, I even have real sensations like pain or physical pleasure. Sometimes the experience is so real that when I wake up for a short period of time I am wondering if that was a dream or something that actually happened before I fall asleep.

PRs and other things could also just live in a "shadow repo". Even if just by convention.

You have a `Product` repo and a `Product-meta` repo.

The biggest issue I have with using git as a truly decentralized system is remote management. Unless you want to be manually futzing with remotes on every single client and pushing/fetching from others correctly, you need some kind of central server.

I really think there is a hole here for a product that works with git underneath, but gives a nice easy way to manage all that complexity.
> The lawsuit cites another post from another hiring manager that said, “If you express a dunderheaded opinion about religion, about politics, or about ‘social justice’, it turns out I am allowed to think you’re a halfwit… I’m perfectly within my rights to mentally categorize you in my [d*ckhead] box… Yes, I maintain (mentally, and not (yet) publicly).”

It's definitely illegal to discriminate based on their religious beliefs. I'm thinking the discovery process is going to find a lot of legitimate issues, if the the lawyer bringing the suit has already found stuff like this. Maybe the lawyer was using this blacklist stuff as a way to get more information and find bigger problems.

I moved my frontend (I mean "in browser" by that) dev to elm about a year ago, and it's been a year of peace. I know elm has flaws, and it's development workflow can be criticized for being too slow or conservative, but it's been so predictable, so easy to work with, so maintainable and so solid in production, I have never been so happy about frontend dev.

This CDC report may help breakdown the US situation. PDF page 41, table 10. The linking CDC page summarized things as:

Children aged 1-4 years

Accidents (unintentional injuries)
Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
Assault (Homicide)

Children aged 5-14 years

Accidents (unintentional injuries)
Cancer
Intentional self-harm (suicide)

For unintentional injuries, it's notable that motor vehicle deaths are as heavily represented for 1-24 years of age as firearms are. Also worth noting is that studying firearm deaths is heavily hampered or outlawed by a certain national party because truth is an inconvenience.
Depends. Are lawful warrants moral? There are any number of instances in history when the laws have been immoral.

https://github.com/neithernut/git-dit provides a distributed issue tracker inside git, without cluttering the repository with unneeded files and also gives the possibility for having tree-like conversation, referencing issues and so on.

Unfortunately, no non-cli frontend exists right now (feel free to build one, shouldn't be complicated). Also some convenience is still missing, but could easily be integrated.

What's also missing is a way to give users of the tool access to a repository where they can submit issues (which then could also be used by a web/gui frontend for the tool). This is not the domain of git-dit itself, but a solution needs to be found. One idea would be a publish repo (where everyone can push) which automatically does some sanity-verification on the issues and forwards them to the maintainers repository... or something like that.

Also, https://github.com/vitiral/artifact/ is a really nice tool to do planning of an application or library inside a git repository. I am currently starting using it in iamg (https://imag-pim.org) and it is really wonderful. The author currently does a reimplementation of its core functionality to make it even more powerful.
I was more referencing the actual event of decay. Sure, the byproducts exhibit the standard quantum effects. the byproducts are particles after all.

I think you've overstated the extent to which this argument "demolishes" geezerjay's.

You're right, there could exist a tier of organisms that do have centrally nervous nociception etc. but don't feel "pain", depending on which set of criteria you use to define what is and isn't pain (you didn't say which of the competing sets of criteria you subscribe to).

As far as I see it, geezerjay put forward a reasonable argument and this adds a possible (but so far unsupported) nuance.

Sure, if. Which I can verify, but I don't want to have to. I don't want to have to verify that a corporation isn't fucking me at every turn.

And it's possible that vulnerability will be discovered that lets people stream the audio somewhere, or listen to key words and send just those portions. I don't know enough about Android to know whether it's more plausible for that to happen, or if that sort of vulnerability would likely grant an attacker access to my mic even without this feature.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to expect my device to not always be listening to me.
Why is this flagged? WTF?
In court cases, that is the mission of the attorney: To make their claims look persuasive and indisputable. In many/most lawsuits, if you only hear one side you will find it very persuasive. Wait until you see the other side's persuasive and indisputable arguments before you judge. That's why courts work the way they do, and why cases are not tried in the court of public opinion.

> you don't think there are workplaces where it's a blackmark to be a progressive? Why don't you come over to some finance jobs?

Former Goldman banker here, I'm calling bullshit on this point. In mainstream Wall Street you can be super left-wing and do just fine with office politics.

Sure, "some finance jobs" are at small funds run by cranky old rightwing baby boomers who get their news from Drudge, but it's a real stretch to say that having strong leftwing views would be a meaningful impediment to a great career on the Street. I can think of many specific examples both at GS and elsewhere.

We centralized a decentralized communication system too. (eMail)

Decentralization just doesn't work too well in practice for whatever reason. Everyone is behind a NAT/firewall, everyone has low computing power, its hard to regulate, etc. This all leads to a centralized solution being easier.

I think the current best thing we have is centralized but open source and encrypted, which gets an "okay"/10 from me.
No, mining does not generate value except supporting Bitcoin. Prime numbers (not mining) also only have cryptographic value if they aren't known to anybody else.

The majority of people on this site are from countries that work under the rule of the law. I understand that they'd feel uneasy by these subterfuges.

But in places like Russia, China, Belarus, most of Africa and parts of Latin America these resources are more than justified. You should fear the police as much as the bad guys.

Our Development Philosophy
> actually has programmers on its staff who think its ok to write a program whose sole purpose is to try and break the law

It's not that simple.

Team A is given the task of writing SW that locks down all computers in case some alarm goes off (e.g., opening a door without disarming an alarm). In the start, this alarm and all workstations are connected to an on-premises server.

Team B is given the task of moving the server into the cloud (or home office) because HR realized they could automatically monitor which employees enter and exit the office. For security auditing.

The system has been moved to the cloud and team C is given the task of extending the SW to make it possible to block certain employees for logging in, e.g., after they've accumulated a certain number of work hours during a week. To prove that the company complies with work regulations.

Now you have built a system, all under plausible and "just" pretenses, that allows you to lock down an office anytime remotely.

Team D (managers) are given the task of paging a number when a raid happens. Team E is instructed to lock down an office when the number is paged (possibly they're told that it's a system test or something else).

If anyone is doing anything unethical here, it's the managers and, possibly, team E (executing the lockdown).
