I imagine that not believing the accusations (or believing other accusations - true or not - made by the manager against the plaintiff) play a large role in Google not rushing to settle. They'd be mad not to regardless of their politics if the course of events happened exactly as described.

If you don't mind me asking... Why do you continue working there?
I too rejected a job at Google after feeling like they just wanted to pigeon-hole me, so to speak. But, as a former Microsoft employee as well, it's not all sunshine there either. While experiences tend to vary, there I was crammed in a small, loud room with too many other people who I'd argue were more complacent than content. Similarly, I've had colleagues at Facebook describe it more as "exhausting" than high energy.

I've come to the opinion that, unless you're a "famous" engineer, or very senior one, that can command a lot of respect and autonomy, most of these "dream job" companies are going to feel a lot more like a well paying sweatshop. At least, that's been my experience as someone with only several years in the field.
It a bit more than couple of minutes to download installer, install it somewhere (livecd doesn't have persistent /), install zfs there and only then go on doing whatever you were doing.

Compared to grabbing standard media you have somewhere, it will take at least 15 minutes extra.

Basics of system administration does not mean, that you are wasting your time, especially on something you can be without.
Nothing you said refutes my claim. All research requires some sort of funding. Humans have biases which can affect their judgment/work. If you think potential conflicts should automatically make a paper worthless, then you're basically excluding the vast majority of scientific work.
Read the paper and decide whether its methodology and results are valid and correct. Don't just look at a list of sponsors and walk away - that's just intellectual laziness.

The point is that at the time of the coup d'etat most of his former allies were against him. That's far from the picture usually painted in books and the mass media of a popular leader loved by his people suddenly betrayed by an evil military force.

Where vague accusations? The economic situation of Chile during his regime went from bad to worse and his directives were directly responsible for it (as proven countless times in countries where the same policies were adopted). Check out the wikipedia page on the economy of Chile during his years.
I think the premise is right and I try to minimize my exposure to any kind of advertising.

There's more than a few very large tech companies that have let politics and emotions take over from innovation and excellence. It's opened the door to mass demotivation because people know inherently what is fake and posturing over what is real, creative, and interesting.
> Let's wait what they'll extract from the documents and judge that instead of immediately claiming it as FUD.

It's FUD, let me explain: before the coming of pluggable transports it was easy to distinguish Tor traffic from TLS, which made blocking by censors (like China and Iran) easy since they didn't need to find all bridges addresses but could instead fingerprint Tor traffic to block it.

As you can see from the documents Dr. Steven Murdoch outlined a roadmap for working on that, since that item ("TLS Normalization") was one of the deliverables for the sponsor

> One of the Oct 1 deliverables is a roadmap for TLS normalization. I have a draft of this for your preusal

Where's the problem in this? Mr. Yasha interprets this as meaning "They reported to the spooky agents security vulnerability!" when the fact that Tor traffic doesn't look like TLS was a known problem to everyone that had the slightest knowledge on how Tor works. Now can anyone explain how this isn't deliberate FUD spreading and an insult to the very people who were working on making Tor more censorship resistant, i.e. Dr. Steven Murdoch and Dr. Roger Dingledine? (FWIW I talked to Roger on irc once and he was very offended by the smears that were spread by Pando like this one)

Accenture was able to sell child welfare solutions at great profit in the 90s

In the 90s that would have been Andersen Consulting rather than Accenture. Although having worked with them at the time and found them worse in every way than IBM is described in this thread, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they profited at the expense of poor children.
It does seem that there are glaring flaws in the methodology:

1) They use average numbers for vehicle expenses which are going to be much higher than what professional drivers with strong profit incentives are going to pay

2) They report on a sampled average of all Uber drivers while acknowledging that the vast majority of these are part time and temporary employees who are not really optimizing their profits. If they looked only that those who do Uber full time or for more than temporary work they would get a completely different story.

At [Kolide](https://kolide.com/) we're heavy users of Go Kit, and as a result have also adopted a lot of the style Peter recommends here. We've been slowly expanding on it with a style guide and company specific set of common libraries [here](https://github.com/kolide/kit#kolide-kit). My coworker also wrote a [blog post](https://blog.kolide.com/using-go-for-scalable-operating-syst...) on how Go has been fantastic for us and references the above style guide.

The code from go kit and [oklog](https://github.com/oklog/oklog) are great examples of idiomatic Go.
Unfortunately the community at large doesn't really follow the "no init"/"no package global vars", which can sometimes lead to bad experiences importing opensource Go libs.

It could be in between, it could be much worse. There was no way in estimating very accurately, so we shouldn’t just take the middle as the truth. Besides, most of the casualties occurred outside of the square when the city basically rioted, and it was in the government’s interest not to count bodies.

I was told that a while back Bulgari (and probably some other high-end jewelers) operated one of the largest illicit money transfer networks - primarily for bribery.

Want to bribe a public official? Give his wife a $100k bracelet, and mention that it can be returned anywhere in the world for CASH (less a 10% “restocking fee” of course). Then you might mention how nice it would be to spend a weekend in Geneva - and coincidentally there is a branch of that jeweler just down the street from some very discreet Swiss bankers (back when they were discreet)...
Every patron of every piece of research is hoping to benefit from it. I certainly agree that a reader should consider the goals of the authors and backers, and I would hope the authors would make both clear.

... why not create a new type. As noted by a sibling comment, there are some good reasons to do it.

And there's actually very little chance that you, as the developer, are ever going to explicitly specify that type - there's pretty good type inference. As a rust user, I don't care that it's another type because I don't need to care about it in order to write code.

So lots of benefits, very low cost/impact.

I'd be interested to see what the median profit would look like after adjusting for COL.
My guess would be that most high earning drivers are in areas with high population density (thus also likely to be more expensive) so I'm not sure if the increased hourly rate necessarily implies that they are doing better.

What do you mean, individual or population (average) differences? If the former, I contest - there are relatively high differences (several standard deviations) between people born in the same society, with similar nutrition, hygiene and cultural standards, and even siblings!

* spotify/torrent/$MUSIC

* blogs/twitter

pretty much in that order. None of which would be a problem on satellite (albeit less convenient) but would make a day/night difference for me.

This actually happened to me recently. While I didn’t come out of the situation with “hate”, it provided me a feeling I’ve not before felt on social media.

In discussing a topic with someone back and forth, the conversation devolved quickly into insults from the opposing end, which in turn fueled my discontent for “their side”. However I usually don’t ever engage conversations of this sort online, so my mere participation surprised me more than anything. However, it took a short “cool down” period for me to reassess my feelings and humanize this person in my head more than I had previously. I’m not happy about my participation, but it certainly speaks to your point.

Edit: To add to this, as I realize I didn't address Twitter directly, I strongly believe it was the character limit and short messages that prevented both parties from offering a longer, thought out discussion with more source-backed statements. I'm fully aware that perhaps this means Twitter isn't the platform for discussing "hot topics", but it happens a lot nonetheless so it's certainly an interesting conversation.

Do you believe it feasible for Google, or even a theoretical consortium of powerful companies like Google, to solve the gender, race, and socioeconomic inequalities in access to education and other resources that enable someone to work at such companies?

If yes, how?

If no, do you think it's better for them to attempt to compensate in a way that is feasible, or to do nothing?

> Someone has to pay for the fixed costs. And its most common that an investor does that.

Yes, and, again, equity isn't the only form of investment even within the capitalist system (though, obviously, it's often structurally preferred by investors within that system.) So, even granting, for the sake of argument, the need for capital investment to start firms, that does not imply a need for capital, as opposed to labor, ownership of firms. (See, for a large example even embedded within a capitalist economy, the Mondragon Corporation.)

> Property rights are just an extension to help the underlying basics

That's certainly one of the reasons for formalizing such rights, but “property rights” aren't a special feature of capitalism, what defines capitalism—and this is generally true of each other politico-economic system—is a particular model of property rights. And, yes, in each case they are viewed by defenders of the system to “help” the immutable basic needs of human society.

I have to say, as an Asian male I found this comment by dirtyid in the article to be succinct and all too true:

> "Pour one out for Asian males. Get screwed by affirmative action in education, media representation and now employment but can't get screwed on dating apps."

Asian men constantly get grouped as a single entity when it comes to tech and aren't considered an added element of diverseness within the industry despite Japan, China, Korea, India, etc. being quite different from one another.

Then you look at industries where Asians are under-represented and you can read articles from actors like Steven Yeun who talk about how they rarely get offered roles and when they do, it's often for roles that stereotype their ethnicity. For example, I just watched Annihilation and the only Asian actor they had in it of course had a broken English accent despite the fact that in real life, the actor actually has a British accent.

Pull up an article on diversity in the U.S., and chances are if you search "Asian" in the article you'll get 0 results.

I've always looked up to tech because it's a realm where we Asians are judged by our skill level and output, not the color of our skin or how attractive we look. It's a realm that rewards people who study hard and work tirelessly to refine their craft. And so it's absolutely frustrating to hear that we're too successful and that people scale back our representation despite the fact that they never happens for us in other industries.
“Of the five sources of cost estimated per mile (Insurance, Maintenance, Repairs, Fuel and Depreciation), approximately 40% of costs are attributable to Insurance, Maintenance and Repairs, 40% to fuel expenses, and 20% to depreciation.”

I don’t understand how insurance is a relevant cost. Insurance is required to legally operate a vehicle - this is something that they must have for their personal vehicle regardless of whether or not they are driving for Uber or Lyft. The only way this is a relevant cost is if they own their vehicle for the sole purpose of Uber or Lyft driving. I have to imagine that this is usually not the case.
OK, sure, but an art critic is presumably more interested in the effects on the "ecosystem" of art.
