'Altman got a verbal warning for writing on an internal board that certain employees should be fired. “I meant only bigoted white men should be fired. They interpreted it as applying to all white men,” Altman says'

I think this statement goes a long way towards helping Damore. That a senior engineer can say something like this openly and not see how it could cause concern and accusations of double standards is telling. I am not advocating for or against Damore but statements like these are not helpful. Saying Bigots should be fired but when you specify race and gender, you are encouraging feelings of persecution and animosity.

I personally don't believe that a workplace is the right location for either Altman or Damore's statements. However, if a culture of allowing this sort of talk is created, you cannot arbitrarily decide that one side is right or wrong without inviting a lawsuit.

Google is currently learning that people need clearly defined rules and if you allow people to say and act how they want in a professional environment, confrontations and trouble are inevitable.
No. Even if you wrote a single digit in each planck volume of the observable universe, you'd run out of space.

Indeed, strategy is often overlooked or taken for granted, even though a startup cannot succeed without it. Strategy is the life blood of a company, more than product or market or customers. The two main questions of a startup are “what product should we build?” and “how can we get customers?” The answers to both these questions are derived from strategy. Without strategy, a startup has no direction.

Successful founders take a militaristic approach to product, growth and competition. They think more than “one move ahead.” They ask questions like, “where do we want this feature to take us?” and “how does this feature set limit or expand our future options?”

Business is like chess, in the sense that each new decision branches from the results of previous decisions. Strategy is anticipating and planning for what branches will exist or not exist as a result of a decision made today.
I don't think diversity includes firing people with different beliefs than you.
Likely not the same, due to independent implementation, but it'd be foolish to think it didn't have security flaws equally as severe.
> I think Facebook and Google enable populism. George Soros doesn't like that, because if populism took care of everything they wouldn't need his billions funding organizations that seek to start populist movements that promote his values and narratives.

I think you are falling into the fairly common "George Soros is evil" narrative and it causing you not to listen to what Soros actually is saying in this particular case.

Soros actually is focusing on three well established points that others also regularly make - these are quotes from the article:

(1) “This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.”

(2) In addition to skewing democracy, social media companies “deceive their users by manipulating their attention and directing it towards their own commercial purposes” and “deliberately engineer addiction to the services they provide”. The latter, he said, “can be very harmful, particularly for adolescents”.

(3) Soros warned of an “even more alarming prospect” on the horizon if data-rich internet companies such as Facebook and Google paired their corporate surveillance systems with state-sponsored surveillance – a trend that’s already emerging in places such as the Philippines.

He isn't talking at all about social movements or populism on Facebook or Google, not at all. Remember that those are often outside of those platforms generally these days, such as Telegram in Iran or Twitter.

I feel like your comment is bringing in an axe to grind because of other grievances with Soros, rather than dealing with what he is actually saying in this particular article.

The Subaru system absolutely does handle this case. It uses visual cameras which watch the road ahead (just like your eyes) so they see what you see and react to objects/obstructions like you'd expect.

I'd had my Subaru slow due to a vehicle bumper sitting in the lane (from a crash that happened shortly before).
I don't believe that's true - I think that the Googlers who leaked the memo went to some extent to not name the author publicly, and his name was first posted on Vox Popoli, in fact, by someone sympathetic to him. (Once the name was public, everyone started using it in public.)

Also there's a big difference between "dox" in the sense of "identify a name" and "dox" in the sense of "post lots of personal documents / records about," which is what Kiwi Farms does.

This may sound trite but honestly I blame Trump.

Trump is like the figurehead for a culture war where the deeply religious, those who describe themselves as having traditional values and racists, all of whom have felt under siege (rightly or wrongly) and have come out of the woodwork.

How anyone who works at Google can feel oppressed is honestly beyond me. In my own experience, the company bends over backward to accommodate you, as a general rule.

I'm actually perplexed by the argument from some that things like Damore's memo are an issue of freedom of speech. It is not. More importantly, defenders seem oblivious to the fact that implicitly questioning whether your coworkers deserve to be there inevitably creates a hostile work environment and that's really the problem.

The low point to me is how some (reference in the article) feel justified in leaking conversations and personal details of their coworkers to the likes of Breitbart. That is truly disgusting behaviour as far as I'm concerned.

If you're a white male conservative Google engineer who feels oppressed and leaks such details, maybe the best thing for you to do is question your belief system that's so warped that you've managed to convince yourself that that's OK. Because it isn't.
That pun is out of this world!
Jesus, can people just not talk about politics/religion/sex at work? This isn’t a problem for other work environments. Maybe it’s an age thing? Or maybe it happens when people become too friendly with their coworkers. Either way, I’ve been in that situation recently and it’s not fun. E.g., there are people at work who shitlist you if you support the ACLU, because the ACLU recognizes that our existing first amendment jurisprudence comes from Supreme Court cases involving the KKK’s right to free speech. But there’s a contingent of the left that has a knee-jerk reaction to that, and I work with some of those people.

I also know for a fact there are conservatives at work who are uncomfortable too because they don’t have the majority view, and that’s not okay. You should never feel uncomfortable at work just because you’re in some kind of minority. One real easy way to avoid that is just not talk about politics at work or outside work with your coworkers.
I'm a EU citizen but I'm not surprised by this at all.

I was in a crash some time ago where the car in front of me jumped out of the way because the guy in front of him was at a dead stop. I can understand why this is an issue for the autopilot. I mean, it's an issue for humans too. It is simply infeasible to drive on a highway in such a way you account for stationary objects in a lane. If we did that, we would never get above 5mph.

Google is the sort of company that invites the entire company to post (and vote on) questions for senior leadership to answer, though. And they believe this is good for the company. "What are you doing to influence immigration policy" impacts the company just as much as "What are you doing to provide thought-leadership in containers" or whatever.

> We share everything we can. We have a weekly all-hands meeting called TGIF, hosted by our founders, Larry and Sergey. In the first 30 minutes, we review news and product launches from the past week, demo upcoming products, and celebrate wins. But the second 30 minutes is the part that matters most: Q&A.

> Everything is up for question and debate, from the trivial (“Larry, now that you’re CEO will you start wearing a suit?” The answer was a definite ‘no’), to the ethical (“Is Google going in the right direction?”).

Yes agreed, Declarative languages like SQL or Ansible are great for most of the use cases. You can always use extensions to get down to imperative steps.
Last I heard about PSP is that it's a supplier of things like TPM but does not have network functionality akin to AMT/vPro. If true then it really limits the attack surface.
In very broad strokes, compared to the other consoles of its generation, the PS3 offered a large compute capacity via SPEs and was starved for RAM and memory bandwidth. I think you're conflating the technical impact of a heterogenous architecture with other differences in specs.

If you tailored a game to work within the memory footprint of a PS3 and did not take advantage of SPEs, a port is easy- you've aimed at a lowest common denominator. If you designed your game with the expectation that you'd have more RAM, you'll have to make some painful decisions to cut the game down to size. If you designed your game to actually take advantage of SPEs, there wouldn't necessarily be a comparable compute resource on the platform to which you would like to port.
All are aware to some extent, sure. But I bet few realize how bad it is - US with its politics became a place that's not even fun to joke about anymore.

But all this doesn't matter as long as average citizens vote as they vote, while still thinking US is the best place in the world, beacon of democracy and whatnot.

Decentralisation of populism?

In my experience every populist movement can be traced to a single charismatic leader with a dictatorial streak who promises the moon and the sky to the hapless masses. I am and forever will be thoroughly unimpressed with any populist movement. It will always end badly.

100% agree with this. I'm working with a new team and our (remote) PM loves scheduling long meetings (60 minutes when we sometimes finish in 20). I'm trying to help him see that we don't need to block out 30 or 60 minutes for a meeting just because those are easiest on Google Calendar.

Surely we've seen enough to conclude that Steve Bannon is an entirely irrelevant political figure who was given a token-position in return for bringing Mercer's funding to the table, attempted to hitch himself to the Trump-train while declaring himself it's driver, bought-into his own gimmick a little too much and found himself on the wrong side of every battle since the sitting president took office.

There's no evidence to suggest that Steve Bannon's views are representative of the right in the United States, only evidence to refute it.
Facebook doesn't really enable populism as much as it centralizes on populism. On a common platform, opinions and news can spread very quickly. Faster than people have time to rationally digest and or to determine what they're reading is accurate or not.

Facebook is really a perfect tool for people like Soros. You can promote whatever news or opinion you want if you have the money, targeting whichever group you want.

Anyone with a big enough bank account can take advantage of this centralized platform to influence people on a vast scale.

I was in a crash some time ago where the car in front of me jumped out of the way because the guy in front of him was at a dead stop. A "safe distance" for following a car that will have to decelerate to stop moving is a lot different if you are approaching a stationary object. It's not fair to expect either a human or computer to meet the latter standard on a highway were you expect everything to be moving at a speed close to the speed limit. There is a reason you can get a ticket for driving too slow.

Yonatan Zunger also had this to say about the memo [1].

> at this point, I could not in good conscience assign anyone to work with you [...] a good number of the people you might have to work with may simply punch you in the face [...] You have just created a textbook hostile workplace environment.

TL;DR - Yeah I mean, violence against you is totally justified because of what you said -- but if there is violence, it's your fault.

Nothing in Damore's memo justifies violence as a response. Zunger just stops short of advocating a violent response. I don't think he's someone I'd ever want to work for, or pay heed to.

My use case is different, as I'm a Windows guy, but this is what I've got:

1. Custom MTA that handles incoming SMTP.

2. SpamAssassin that is called by the above MTA which flags email as spam/not-spam.

3. Custom MTA forwards not-spam to the users inbox.

4. Custom MTA forwards SPAM to postmaster (this bit needs significant re-working)

5. Main Mailserver is Microsoft Exchange run On-Premises.

6. All Mail clients are Outlook 2016, or Android Phones.

The reason I had to write my own MTA was so that I could leverage a 3rd party anti-spam solution, as Exchange doesn't come with one, and add-ons for Exchange are quite expensive.

Running your own mailserver is a complete nightmare. If I knew it would end up this complex 20+ years on, I'd have never done it in the first place.

That's why many (most?) other vehicle manufacturers use cameras instead of radar. You physically see what the driver would physically see and react how the driver would react with the same information (just faster).

Size varies, but it's not unusual for them to be 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide. They can also be stack on top of each other or be placed side to side.

To give an idea individual letters can be 16" tall. http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/fsh/images/Figur... And sizes are rounded to nearest 1/2 foot.
That is nothing to do with any of this. There are two issues:

1. Autopilot didn't leave a big enough gap in front of the Tesla. Presumably because the radar has limited range, or maybe it was a big enough gap but the guy just wasn't paying enough attention.

2. Autopilot ignores stationary objects. This is a deliberate decision - apparently if you don't ignore stationary objects there are too many false positives from stationary objects you aren't driving into (signs, bridges, etc).

The root cause of 2. is that the radar doesn't have good enough angular resolution to say whether something is in your path or not - it can just detect things vaguely in front of you. The solution is probably LIDAR (which everyone except Tesla uses) or maybe some camera-radar data fusion, but obviously it doesn't do that at the moment.
How complex are the projects you’re working on? Do you work on multiple projects for different clients within the same day? I personally look for greenfield projects of at least a month in duration, and commit my full attention to them for that time. I treat the project like a temporary full time job.

I’ve never tried charging by the hour, but my intuition is it could lead to micromanagement from clients, and also create stress/overhead for me in accounting for each hour. I also worry it would make clients uncomfortable to know I’m constantly context switching into different projects throughout the day.

What if I spend an hour of the day researching a solution? Does the client need to know the details of all 8 hours of my day? I prefer to keep a “work log” spreadsheet, with a row for each day explaining at a high level what I accomplished, and also keep in daily communication with the client to make sure we are on the same page.

How much information do you give your clients as to what you did each hour? Have you ever tried billing in larger blocks? If so, how did that method differ from charging hourly?
> Meanwhile, inside Google, the diversity advocates say some employees have “weaponized human resources” by goading them into inflammatory statements, which are then captured and reported to HR for violating Google’s mores around civility or for offending white men.
