Yeah, Henry James is the novelist. William's brother. I'd call his output... mixed, but much of it's really good. Big fan of Washington Square, myself. Probably better to approach shorter novella-ish works like that, and his actual short stories (there are lots) first, and work your way up to the novels (there are also lots of those). Do not start with Daisy Miller. It's among his most famous and widely-read, but just don't.

This is not a fact, it's an unproven allegation in a lawsuit filed by a known fraud represented by a lawyer known to have engage in unethical misrepresentations. The lawsuit is hoping to find evidence of this spurious claim of it makes it to the discovery stage.

Edit: His lawyer has made multiple misrepresentations of voter fraud in California, going as far as accusing innocent individuals of voter fraud. She's been investigated by the CA State Bar several times for unethical behavior.
As for Damore, he's made several false statements about his time at treatment at Google that have been refuted by multiple non-biased sources.
I think the problem is that "diversity" has come to mean "bash white males", so being speaking out against that seems natural.

EDIT: instead of replying to each of you who say this doesn't happen, please look at my link of the evidence being submitted in this case to see that it does happen (or someone is faking a ton of evidence): https://twitter.com/mjaeckel/status/950446329603461121

Guide to Using Redis with Node.js
From my anecdotal experience of just watching SO's React queue, most questions about React that show up (that aren't repeats) are almost always regarding how it's used with some library in the ecosystem.

React-router, Redux, Webpack, Material UI, etc.

So even though the API itself small, there's still an endless number of questions out there for people to ask!
The article is confusing because it fails to differentiate between infant mortality rate (before 1) and childhood mortality rate (defined in the cited paper as 1-19). The article purports to be about childhood mortality but the only graph shown is of infant mortality.

From the linked paper abstract: "From 2001 to 2010 the risk of death in the US was 76 percent greater for infants and 57 percent greater for children ages 1–19."

So the numbers as presented in this article are kind of misleading but it still looks quite bad for the US. Lack of decent healthcare access remains an issue for a huge fraction of the population.
There's also a difference between discriminating against people for their political views (which isn't a protected class anyway) and choosing to avoid adding people to your team who have expressed opinions that make the workplace hostile to other employees -- which appears to have been the intention of the managers in question.
5 Agile Boards to Get Your Creativity Flowing
Were they blocking searches with warrants or warrantless raids? And was what they did illegal? I read the article but left unclear on both of these key questions.
If only programmers could form some sort of collective to advocate for their common interests and hold their bosses accountable to ensure our profession is kept to a high ethical standard while protecting programmers from backlash when they refuse to break the law for their employers.
I can somewhat understand where you're coming from if the person doing it only wants something that works.

But for those who would be willing to risk breaking a few things to try something out, building a kernel is a worthwhile effort, and the meltdown / spectre bugs provide a perfect excuse to do it.
What? You think the right is more reasoned than the left? Come on.

Besides 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?
Red Hat pays the salary of a couple kernel developers, backporting security fixes is a pretty big part of their job. Keep in mind, RHEL/CentOS 7 doesn't even use something newer like 4.4 - it's still on 3.10 because Red Hat guarantees a stable kABI throughout the lifetime of a release

This is correct. It's also important to note that bitmain is one of the main responsible parties for the creation of Bitcoin Cash and this move is mostly a way to boost it's value, because even though Bitcoin fees are high, they aren't that bad ($3 to $30 depending on the load) when you're selling devices for $2K+.
Sure, or maybe we can just accept that there are a lot of programmers that aren't saints or innocent victims of overbearing bosses, but actually are happy to use their skills to break the law?

You can make a group of programmers think they're pirates going against the establishment, and they'll do anything under that idea.
Newbie here, I am not getting that feeling.

I think people hate the Alt-coins pump and dump schemes.

With the exception of Ethereum and Monero, the rest are entirely speculation IMO.

I hope crypto solves a problem, but there will be a lot of people losing money because they got caught up in the $$
I should also mention that my BIOS has a performance setting that can be "Energy Saving", "Normal", or "High Performance", and I keep mine on "Energy Saving".

Kicking it up a notch or two could undoubtedly boost the performance a bit, and a manual overclock should go even further. (My chip is stable at 4.7Ghz, but it consumes way too much power to leave it there all the time - the computer idles at ~70 watts on "Energy Saver" mode!)
“We look forward to defending against Mr. Damore’s lawsuit"

Is not the typical PR answer when you got sued, you spect something like:

"Here at Google we are against any kind of discrimination and we deny the alleged acusations, those do not represent our values"

That is a typical PR answer, but instead they are practicality saying "yes we do all that terrible stuff, so bring it on".
There is a very big difference between expressing anti-diversity sentiments and expressing anti-diversity-for-the-sake-of-diversity sentiments. I do believe most people tend to the latter and not the former.

Why do they even have a status page if it shows nothing and was updated "a day ago"...
What's interesting to me is that governments are becoming less and less important in society. With Google, Facebook, Uber, and Bitcoin, we're moving closer and closer to a world where human-based systems (government) are being supplanted by computer based systems (technology).

I for one believe this can be a good thing, since humans corrupt but computers are strictly deterministic.
>You took something of value that was created or owned by someone else.

By this definition every website you visit on the internet that you did not create yourself is stealing.
Status page apparently isn't automatic because it is yet to be updated.
Disclaimer: I'm not defending anyone who breaks the law. I'm just explaining why and how it might work from my point of view.

It just depends on how people were explained why and what they need to do. In the end these engineers even might have had no idea that the thing they produced will be used this way.

Additionally, I know a bunch of people who developed similar system for small companies in my country. However the situation is different: law enforcement institutions are often misused to get the bribe from business owners. Means the less they can find in your office, the less chances they will take your money away for nothing.
I would pay to never again have to have anything to do with a social network.

Fines have two different justifications, and I believe you're mixing them up.

One is a sort of punishment for what is considered a moral failure. For people there's criminal law, but when organizations "misbehave", fines are usually easier to assess rather than individual responsibilities.

That is the context in which you are concerned about fines, because it seems unjust to punish where no intent to harm (or gross negligence) existed.

But fines in this sort of civil law context also serve a different purpose: much like a carbon tax or late fees at the the video rental store, they serve to internalize negative external effects. In this light, there is no moral judgement or stigma attached to fines.

Put another way: the damage is already done when the data is lost. All that's left is to assign responsibility. "No fines" leaves all of the burden with the individuals whose data was lost, even though they are unlikely to have any power to stop such breeches. By fining the company (and possibly compensating the victims) the existing damage is only moved to the party that had at least some control over the situation.
As one of those people, it makes me happy that an obviously sleazy company like Uber is giving the cops something useful to do, so they aren't harassing more ethical businesses.

It's like when the small-time drug dealer and the top bully at your high school get into a fistfight. The ideal outcome is that they both get a savage beating, and then get expelled.

You can still work with your colleagues by pushing and pulling your own repos without involving GitHub.

I think centralised CI is the real problem. I don't have the compute power in my home to run our full test suite, so I can't push with confidence without my CI cluster.
> ok when, not if, law enforcement comes to raid one of our offices, how can we do our best to block a lawful search warrant.

When writing end-to-end encrypted chat, client-side encrypted hosting/backup, etc. you ask yourself the same question. And yet I consider those ethical.
>In May 2015 about 10 investigators for the Quebec tax authority burst into Uber Technologies Inc.’s office in Montreal. The authorities believed Uber had violated tax laws and had a warrant to collect evidence.
Yes, when I contemplate the paragon of ethics, the image which invariably comes first to mind is that of a trade union.
The rules for the computers are still made by humans.
There are pictures. Screenshots of managers saying they keep black-lists.
Status page updated. I guess they wait a few minutes to reduce false positives.
Actually for me, as someone who has strong negative opinions towards both Uber and police brutality, it basically comes down to this: a strong desire for fairness.

I have a strong dislike for companies that willingly flaunt rules that are meant to level the playing field. And this is not the same as companies that disrupt (in fact, the taxi industry was badly in need of disruption and was NOT a level playing field before ride-sharing).

Same goes for police. If a policeman has murdered someone, they should be held to trial just like a civilian would. But we all know that's not actually what happens.
IANAL but this sounds very similar to Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District (1969).

React's API is fairly small. Most of the code you're writing with React (outside of libraries) is based on ES6.

You can easily get by with someone that has years of Javascript experience instead, preferably a developer who's familiar with Functional-style JS.
The lawsuit contains screenshots and other evidence that serves as an effective prima facie case for workplace discrimination. It's not really correct to say it's "speculation", which kind of implies someone just made a bunch of stuff up or is guessing as to what behavior takes place inside Google. On it's own, if not rebutted, it would be enough to win at trial.

That said, Google should have an opportunity to counter the claims if they have a defense and evidence to support it.

I am no uber fan but I'd have no problem with a tool like this if I understand it correctly.

I like to believe that if there's a legitimate use for a tool, then the tool is fine. What's the difference between a lawful search warrant and robbery? Why do we focus on the text rather than the fact that the leadership created a protocol and a scheme to do this? Why does Travis get a pass?
Programmers, unlike many other professions, are in the happy position that their skills are in high demand. They can afford to have more moral fiber, because it's easier for them to find a new job. I'd also assume that a lawsuit in case they were fired for refusing to write software which the purpose to break the law would go pretty well, but I'm not a lawyer.

I'm guessing Xen PV isn't well tested by Red Hat anymore since most (if not all) of their paying customers still (stuck) using it are likely on RHEL5, which they haven't released a patch for yet due to that very reason.

I'm kind of shocked Amazon doesn't have something like Linode's Fennix, but you can always do an EBS snapshot of your /boot volume and revert it if a kernel upgrade breaks stuff.

It’s been on Hacker News for two minutes. Your reply is one minute ago. Perhaps you should check your SLA with GitHub, but presumably it doesn’t say that 60 second delays is the same as the status page being effectively useless.

Also, it was updated by the time you posted your reply...
I didn't say it was a fact, I said it was a summary of what is alleged in the lawsuit. It does include evidence though and I haven't seen anyone deny it. I have also seen Google and other tech giant employees tweet out stuff like this regularly so it seems very likely to be true.

But it's not a fact yet, just accusations as you say.
By that logic, you do the same when you close your door.

This is ridiculous, clearly there's a sliding scale of how much morality versus how much immorality you enable. How far along that scale is a tool whose sole purpose is to block lawful warrants?
Side-step in openness. All MPEG-2 has in its favor its the patents expire earlier.
I never said the right is more reasoned than the left. I said that currently the progressive-left is sacrificing reason and that it will lead to a rise to the right. This is just natural action-reaction.

Isn’t this “tipping off”? Which is a crime in itself.
Just recently I thought to myself "it has been a long time since I saw the Github Unicorn". As it turns out, I didn't really miss it at all.

Regarding the centralized nature of Github: it is the centralized communication that is a problem, not the ability to share code. I can easily send a patch to somebody on my team, but that doesn't help me review a PR, reply to comments, trigger a CI build, or initiate a deploy.

Code sharing is only a small part of what a team relies on Github for.
Most significantly, it is partially protected in California.
Well, this is about establishing priors. If something seems unlikely, maybe our understanding of it is wrong? Concepts like Anthropic principle have been introduced to deal with the fact that we exist, however unlikely it may seem.
What kind of reason do you think has been sacrificed?

This is interesting to me as one of the underdiscussed parts of the Google-Damore memo is the part where he says "yes, the right-wing are stupid and irrational about climate change, which is obviously true, but the left-wing are also anti-science about this stuff". He supported this both-sides-are-the-same type argument (at least in an earlier version, I noticed the link seems to not be there in all of them) with a link to a piece by John Tierny, in which half the word count was dedicated to supporting climate change denial, and building a case that the left-wing was stupid for thinking it occured.

So even within the (broadly defined) right, you have disagreements on basic facts and reason.
And yet Apple regularly receives praise here for thwarting law enforcement.

The difference seems obvious to us, but it wouldn't be to someone outside of tech, and similar justification will be used by used by people building the Uber program.

I suspect the large majority of entities who are stymied by Apples extensive encryption who wouldn't be stymied by trivial encryption are law enforcement and other state entities.

I also suspect that Uber's protocol has been invoked against against intruders and/or commercial visitors.

So while Apple good and Uber bad, the difference is gray, not black & white.
That's kind of missing the point, everyone's git local clones are still there, I can still work on the code. Git's decentralisation is meant to make sure work doesn't stop altogether when the remote is down.

>Programmers, unlike many other professions, are in the happy position that their skills are in high demand. They can afford to have more moral fiber, because it's easier for them to find a new job.

What about all those high-powered MBAs and other finance types? Most anyone who's received an Ivy League education is going to be in demand. Yet would we really expect more ethical behavior from them? Some would say we would expect worse. Programmers are no different from any other worker.

>I'd also assume that a lawsuit in case they were fired for refusing to write software which the purpose to break the law would go pretty well, but I'm not a lawyer.

Yes but if you filed that lawsuit you wouldn't exactly be 'in high demand' anymore, would you?
Yes, they removed distributed Proof-of-Work from the equation and used a distributed consensus algorithm instead. They're encouraging companies and institutions who are interested to run their own validator nodes. Running one doesn't make you any money, but it does help make the network more secure. Its an interesting alternative to PoW that doesn't require anywhere near as much electricity as PoW mining does.
>choosing to avoid adding people to your team who have expressed opinions that make the workplace hostile to other employees

But are you adding other people making other statements which make the workplace hostile to other individuals? Also, what happens if the misrepresentation of something causes the hostility while the original message does not? Often it life, it isn't what you say, but how you say it or who says it.
The concept of an "upstream" is inherently centralized.

The point of git is that everyone can keep working right now and can push later without things getting very messy.
This is indeed the crux of the problem. I've been thinking about this a lot (and I wouldn't be surprised if it exists already), we need a decentralised method of storing issues and other things inside our git repos.
