Agreed. The best solution would be a configurable scale. Something like daily / twice a week / weekly / twice a month / monthly. So I could set it to daily when I’m out looking for a job, and turn it way down when I’m not available (holidays etc).

Would love to have a version that goes “full tinder” even (no pics, just the same sort of simple bio as this, but with tinder’s “swiping” approach for quick elaboration).
The product is horizontal in the sense that it is applicable in a variety of domains, much like spreadsheets. Most of the ~10,000 apps that have been created with our beta relate to pricing and other economic calculations, often created by small business owners. These are the users we primarily need to get out in front of and create content for. I'm looking into advertising on blogs related to this demographic.

(We spent years doing contract work in the health care industry, creating drug dosage calculators and the like using our own app builder, so there are definitely other verticals as well.)

I do disagree. This is on multiple thorough readings of his memo and a sound mind. He never advocates for Google to discriminate against anyone in his memo, nor does he advocate for Google to not prioritize diversity.
There is no quote in his original memo to prove otherwise, legal opinion notwithstanding.
Maybe I'm just crabby but I even resent having to ask my computer via its software if it could please, pretty please, shut down. As if I need its permission. Back in the day, you threw the power switch and it was off.

And, yes, I understand disk caches and why we have a graceful shutdown process. What irks me is that the computer might be in the middle of doing something despite my not having told it to be doing anything.
As many others, I also disagree. Back in the day, laptops are more expensive and less capable. Now you can program everywhere with laptop and wifi. More importantly, sites like SO makes learning to program so much easier than before. Back then, if you don’t know somebody you might be stuck with some silly issues for a long time. Not to mention Windows had frequent blue screen of death.
Just to clarify:

1. You believe that Damore's lawyers withdrew the claim because the NLRB said they wouldn't pursue it. Is that a correct assessment? That's the timeline AFAICT anyway. Does that make the memo a public statement of what they informed Damore of? Is that common, for the NLRB - or similar institutions - to release a memo about a withdrawn action? I'm not American so this all seems very odd to me. I just can't imagine a government body commenting on a withdrawn complaint here.

2. You have not read the memo itself. Is that true? Do you know where it is or where I can read it? How would I even start?

I'm not being critical, I just have no idea how the US's state and federal laws combine, and it all seems very complicated, procedurally odd and very overlapp-y.

This is exactly in line with what I wrote. This quote talks about distribution. Not averages, which was the parent comment's claim.
Can you give an example?

Whether you find my stand irrelevant or not just because you don't agree with it, is telling and symptomatic for this discussion.

Why isn't my stand relevant, what is it you know for a fact that is pseudoscientific and even if it was the case, are you going to fire people for believing in God and being against gay marriage because it's anti-scientific.

Sounds like an anti-ellectual position to me.

Damore has basically 3 points in his memo, in increasing order of disputability:

1) Conservatives are discriminated against at Google, which is a problem for working conditions

2) Google pushes an aggressive voluntary affirmative action policy which aims to hire women and underrepresented minorities at rates much higher than they appear in the relevant sector of the workforce, and the way this is pushed internally is a problem for working conditions

3) The reason women are underrepresented in the tech job market is biology

Notice that 3) has nothing to do with working conditions, it's just an elaboration on why 2) upsets Damore so much; it could have been left out and he would have been covered under the exemption, while still making his point about working conditions and hiring policies.

People within Google are totally free to disagree about whether a 50/50 gender ratio is an appropriate goal, and they are protected under this law as far as protesting those goals as they relate to working conditions. But the ruling says that the specific arguments you bring into play may still be in violation of company policy, and such arguments are not automatically protected by virtue of being connected to a working conditions complaint. Especially when they could be construed as hurting a company's ability to abide by laws regarding hostile work environments.

There's probably room for disagreement about the correct interpretation of the law, but I don't see it as a matter of removing the right to discuss freely, it's merely a tight technical interpretation of where the at-will exemption ends.
The leaker should definately be fired, that's not a question. I don't know whether firing Damore was legal or not, and whether there was harassment or not, but leaking was a clear copyright violation and Google always had a policy of firing leakers, this was the only exception where they didn't talk about it.
can't there be an open source set of service
APIs that's self hosted

OSM does have open source self-hosted options.

Unfortunately, the developer experience is much more painful than using Google Maps.

With Google Maps, if you can add Javascript to a web page you're basically good to go. Data updates, software updates, server redundancy, server support and security, all taken care of. Even if you're exclusively a front-end dev, you're making a static site, and you've never heard of Linux.

Compared to that, self-hosting OSM tile generation requires a bunch of extra knowledge, equipment and maintenance.

It’s also a difference of expectations. I live in a non-US country where escrow services never took off and consequently nobody expects fraud protection from financial service providers. The banks cover unauthorised use but not authorised transfers for fraudulent reasons. That is dealt with by the police.

PayPal has set some interesting expectations for what a service provider should cover.

I was you a few years ago. There's two ways forward:

1. Get a job programming and slowly build up your skills/expertise by learning from those around you.

2. Develop a lesson plan for yourself and figure out how to build and deploy different kinds of apps.

I don't know if you're into #1 but I think it can be massively useful. There's so much stuff you don't know about that some dude who's been working somewhere for 5 years does. You can pick up best practices, design ideas, constructive criticism, better coding, better tools, knowledge that's easier to get in person than from a webpage. Today no single person makes a truly great and novel software application, and working at a tech company will make that apparent to you.

As for 2, some ideas assuming you know how to code:

1. Write an HTTP API that talks to several different databases. Learn how the databases work and when to use them. Get good at using them both from their CLI and a programming language.

2. Write a site using React/Angular/etc. and HTML/CSS to query an external API and display the results or organize user input into a fun framework.

3. Find a way to publish both of the above so that mom can interact with them.

4. Figure out how to wire a web app that you wrote to an API you wrote.

5. Find a way to deploy that as a complete system.

6. Figure out how to write a simple iPhone/Android App if you're interested in that.

7. Now make it do something cool, presumably by hooking it up to an API that does the heavy lifting.

8. Now make it all pretty.

9. Now figure out how to get it in people's hands. Collect their feedback and figure out what's working and what's not.

10. Go back to whichever step needs work and fix it.

That's easy to say, but there's a ton of work in learning all of these skills. It's one thing to write an app, it's another thing to get it in people's hands, and it's a third thing to get it to really really work to the point where people love it. A lot of people spend 40 hours a week doing that for years and don't/can't do everything - that the reason there's so much specialization in the world of software engineering.
The issue isn't that the science is unpleasant. It's that state and federal law compel companies like Google to maintain anti-harassment policies, and the NLRB defers to the company on how they're enforced.

If you want to complain about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, that's a different discussion; it's not really fair to take the NLRB to task for that.
Why do you separate 2 and 3? Point 3 is Damore's detailed criticism of point 2. He's arguing (clumsily) that the goals of the policies in point 2 conflict with certain scientific research.

You're upset at a straw man. The OP was condemning the "I would exercise, but I just can't because XYZ" attitude, not "I choose not to".

There are precious few people who can't actually carve out time to exercise. Not wanting to is a different matter - but not wanting to is a choice you make, rather than a circumstance you're forced into.

YMMV. I have used keto to much success in the past, however I've found it impossible to stick with on a long term basis, even after giving it 6 months and really trying to make it work. My cravings for carbs was unbearable and made me miserable. My body seems to reject it now, as every time I try it I have a ravenous hunger for pasta, breads, chocolate. So it's not really a panacea for limiting hunger. Fat is more satiating yes, but it's also pretty joyless after a short while.

I find fasting to be more in tune with my life nowadays.
Because in the course of making point 3, he violated Google's anti-harassment policies, and the NLRB defers to companies as to the reasonableness of their anti-harassment policies, because a different federal law that NLRB does not manage requires companies to have anti-harassment policies.

If he'd been arguing for better office furniture and Google claimed to fire him over violations of an anti-harassment policy, the NLRB would almost certainly not defer to Google. But he wasn't arguing for better office furniture; he was arguing about biological differences between men and women and how they might impact the distribution of male and female engineers at Google.

They're responsible for the failures. The team is responsible for the successes.
My feeling: You aren't obligated. If either of you sees something of potential value, they can send an email. If neither does, then no reply is required.
It looks promising. Now if it could integrate easily with syslog-ng/rsyslog, that would be perfect.
An environment in which you can be fired for having expressed scientific views which- while debatable- are certainly not fringe seems pretty toxic. Maybe only for those who don't fit in, but still..
I'm not talking about feature requests, I'm talking about "holy shit all of my email is gone, just everything, it's all gone". If I'm a customer and I'm told "we'll put in a feature request and the manager will prioritize getting your emails back according to the company's goals", I'm probably not a customer anymore.

I'm talking about "your product documentation says to check the box on the third page, but there are only two pages". If the response is "I'm sorry our developers are too busy getting work done to be constantly interrupted", how many customers are you keeping?

I'm talking about "I purchased your product but it redirected me to something called http://localhost:3214/test/test_page.html". If the response is "Hi, I'm the manager who is shielding my employees from your bullshit" yeah you get the idea.

These are things an outsourced helpdesk (or even an in-house helpdesk) can't fix. But they are problems that real customers are having right now. Maybe it sounds like a horrible work environment to some people. To me it sounds like absolute bare minimum customer support.

That is exactly right.
The quote talks about abilities, which you said the memo did not say anything about. Damore was positing that both women's preferences and abilities is why you see less women in tech and leadership positions.
I think the take away is not that there is an attack vector. If the source is tainted then bad things happen. I think this is interesting in that it's _not_ source code but a CSS vector. If you're doing a security audit, sanitizing code is not enough. This attack vector uses side-effects of CSS to in-effect create obfuscated code.

No one person is making the choice, that's the problem. The decision is distributed over many people and each step is only a tiny bit "rapacious" on average (meaning some steps may even be conserving), but over all, the collective decision is to kill 100k orangutans for tastier Nütella.

Secondly, it's not about difficulty in valuing something that's hard to see; our markets do plenty of that and are very good at it. It's that there is no value placed on orangutans. Even if you get to see one every day, that may affect your personal decisions but it has no effect collectively because orangutans, like anything else that exists freely in nature such as unclaimed resources, are priced close to $0 in the markets. Only if someone "owned" all the orangutans, for example, then you can talk about value.

I think you're still not getting it. You don't have the legal right to discuss things at work without termination. Blanket federal employment law says that there is a powerful presumption in favor of the employer when terminating employees. They can fire you for what you say. They can fire you for dying your hair the wrong hair color. They don't need a good reason. You need a good reason if you're going to contest a termination.
No, that's the opposite of what we are looking for. We're not looking for data that other people have uploaded. We've got that data straight from the companies before it is publicly announced. We're publishing it to everywhere the companies want it published to.

OSM is not one of the places that we want to deal with providing that data to.
It's already a problem. Go look at the history tab for any moderately large town in OSM. You'll find gigantic edits overlapping the area you're trying to look at. The reason for that is someone posting changes/additions onto map locations on separate countries and/or continents, so it intersects with your small town regardless if the changes were near it.

Those edits are usually people adding useless businesses and phone-numbers. I've seen people advertising bitcoin-related business and general spam.

Convenience also weighs in to make it hard for people to push back on things, by design. “Oh, creating an account is one click; to cancel your service you have to call, wait, listen to a spiel, etc.” Or: “What’s this extra $1.25 on my monthly bill? Well I could spend time inquiring but I guess I won’t bother.” I am much more worried about these abuses of convenience.
you're right, it were from chimpanzees, not orangutans.
They called it a "resort" several times in the article. It probably has "township" status with some corporate powers.
This may be true for a lot of situations, however there could be all kinds of factors that are not considered, so I would caution you not to be too absolutist about this thinking.

I for one would very much like to exercise much more, and had in the past invested a fair amount of money and time into it. I enjoyed it immensely most of the time, even without the other benefits mentioned in the article.

However I rarely exercise now, and since I lost health insurance some years ago I feel the financial risk too great. Even basic yoga / pushups could lead to expensive treatment for anti-hemophilia factor treatment if it was needed.

I see many other people have more serious issues with mental and emotional health which take priority over exercise and growth too.

It's easy to armchair quarterback and say "oh that persons is lazy watching tv, drinking or smoking" for example, and not realize that they are actually suffering greatly and are prioritizing working, paying bills, and getting a small amount of comfort in doing one thing that another may think is just lazy, is actually a sad form of self medication for issues that perhaps could be treated better if they had access to better care.

Of course this is not an excuse for all who don't, just another way of seeing some things that I have learned over the years, not everything is always the way it seems to us and others do not always have the same things stopping them as we do.

From my original comment in this chain:

> ...also claimed higher variance, but not overall differences. In other words that there are more men on both sides of the extreme.

This is in reference to what the memo says about abilities. The memo does claim higher or lower overall averages, too, but those are in terms of preferences.

Let me lay this out point by point if I phrased this poorly before:

* The memo claims that women and men have different averages in preferences.

* That men and women have different distributions of abilities.

* The memo does not claim that there are different average of abilities.

Point #3 is what the parent comment claimed, among other things, and that is wrong.
The problem is that all of the stuff that used to make perfumes persistent are all gone.

I received a really nice French cologne as a birthday gift back in the 80's--women loved it. It was low grade enough that only people very next to you would notice, and it would last days ... even after showers. This made for some interesting interactions with women at the office ... "Oh, looks like someone had a good weekend ..."

At some point, they had to change out the binder/fixer/whatever (presumably it's either horribly toxic or horribly cruel to skunks), and colognes haven't been the same since.

Now, in order to get a cologne to last even a couple of hours, they create things that are horrifically strong at start, and you still almost can't smell them several hours later.

(I actually had the misfortune to test this. My mother used Chanel No 5 Eau de Cologne that I would buy for her as a gift when she ran out or it went bad. The last one I bought smelled wrong as soon as I opened it--they reformulated it and discontinued it soon after. I wound up kicked through Chanel customer service to get some of the last "real" stock they had--they knew that the updated one was wrong and had kept a small amount for customer complaints (and presumably very rich patrons).)
Good point. I guess a lot of what we say generally, doesn't have explicit meaning. That doesn't mean it's the same as silence, it's quite impactful.
