I believe it could or it could produce something of similar quality, but the incentives aren't there. You can spend years in academia trying to build something like that or you can just go to Google and mmake bank. It's an easy choice. That doesn't mean it's not possible, it is just that our incentives are distorted.
I don’t remember them being that annoying in the 80s, or maybe we just read less text back then.

Even that seems unlikely. Certainly, managers have to be trained about compliance and inclusiveness, but was JD a manager? I guess not.
I commented about this the last time [0] the Damore issue came up here. Google's culture (as represented by this article and the Damore issue) is anti-liberal. This is one of the cases where liberals and leftists are not on the same side.

We do a lot of work on ARM Cortex processors and TI MSP430s. On a recent project the main processor was an Atmel ATSAMA5D3x running embedded linux. Most of the embedded work is C but some engineers use C++. There's a lot of peripheral support software we write as well, which is usually in C# or python. It's easily been 15+ years since we've done any projects in assembly.
Some high profile exploits they either discovered or played a big role in:

- SHAttered(?)

- Row hammer

- Cloudbleed

- Lastpass exploit

- Meltdown & Spectre
What, where'd you hear that?
If academia could produce a search engine of equal quality but without ads, people would use it.

Well...but it did, and they did. But you (and Larry Page) raise a good question: is it necessary for web search to be profitable?
> The first solution that occurs to me seems to be smaller class sizes and differently structured assignments with more of a "tell me about why you wrote this" type interactive stuff.

See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

This is particularly useful when trying to find new events per se. For example, I see a friend marking himself "interested" for a particular event on Facebook. I do the same and reach him out on Messenger to ask him / her to go together.

I have to stick to Facebook because one way or the other, it gives me an avenue to socialize because people I know are there, use it regularly and are contributor to the network effect.
I agree with your conclusions that the world is becoming more declarative and that we need to converge on an agnostic system to make these declarations.

However, you might've been trained incorrectly, perhaps as a joke, because you've assigned properties to the opposite solutions!

Configuration management like Ansible or Salt are agnostic modules that can be plumbed under the hood to work with any platform: use Ansible's "copy" module and it can be implemented under the hood as cp, rsync, passenger pigeon, whatever. You can use the same playbook against any target, including targets that run on orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

Kubernetes Operators, on the other hand, are tightly linked to Kubernetes internals. They are not declarative; they require explicit instruction on how to manage your application's lifecycle, implemented in a statically-typed programming language. Indeed, if your system doesn't need to muck around in the Kubernetes internals, you don't create an "Operator", you just use the pre-baked object types like Service, Deployment, etc.

So I agree in principle, but Kubernetes is the opposite of what you've expressed here.
I have never heard of anyone wishing bad luck or malice to other developers. If this tale is true, I don't think the greybeards deserve much respect based on their conduct. You simply cannot disparage others.
Pico-8 is restrained by design.

It can be a little frustrating at first, but if you focus on the other important elements of a good game it can be really satisfying.

In addition, there are some people doing some very cool stuff really pushing that limit as far as possible.

The BBC article to which this thread is attached talks of a company advertising "essay[s]...starting at just $18.00 per page" [1]. Furthermore, the documented frequencies of foreign students cheating is too large to explain with solely income discrepancy.

> It's a "victimless crime" essentially.

It's not a victimless crime.

1. Every CS class I took had some form of curve. People cheating directly lowered the grade of people who didn't.

2. Cheating devalues the credentials that other students paid for. You can argue about the benefits of the credentialing system, but that doesn't change that fact that students cheating directly financially harms students who don't cheat.

3. It harms job seekers who now have to spend time going through additional screening steps because their credentials are no longer trusted.

It really seems like your trying very hard to justify some past behavior here.
Using tinder / bumble / coffee meets bagel, you can easily and quickly cycle through lots of coffee dates until you meet someone worth moving forward with. The bandwidth is so much higher than anything we've had before, including video games.

My partner and I met via Tinder after both of us had cycled through a lot of dates, and we catch ourselves saying "god damn are we lucky" over and over and over again. They say you make your own luck by increasing your surface area, yea?
That sounds interesting as hell. Also, when else do you get to test your code by driving an armored vehicle.
No, it will decrease the amount of money they have to pay out in dividends though... Theoretically the yield would decrease since the share price should increase as shares are bought back. That said, they did also announce a dividend increase which should counteract that.

Think about it in round numbers, if there are 1 billion shares and a $1 dividend it's $1bn per dividend payment. If they buy back 100m shares, the next dividend payment would be $900m.

tl;dr dividends are declared on a per share basis, not a total amount that is divided by the current number of shares.
And you have to think back to the turn of the 20th century, when comparing populations. Cincinnati had a much larger percentage of the population at that time than it does now. It was the 10th largest city in the US in 1900, and the 16th largest in 1920.

It's hard to tell if the lack of the subway was a factor in the lower rate of growth or if the lower rate of growth meant the subway wasn't needed after all.

A major NYC blackout resulted in a bunch of looting. That looting is supposed to have resulted in a bunch of new musicians getting their hands on good equipment. Those scofflaw musicians invented new musical genres that revolutionized the artform. Sounds a lot like reducing the friction inside a rigid system.

Basically, while we might prefer to have people raise integrity to the highest priority, life is complicated and it's sometimes hard to say a wrong thing is 100% wrong.
This seems to be almost completely irrelevant to what is being discussed here - you yourself admit the point you are raising has no particular impact on the morality of there actions.

Also, it is not accurate to say that politics in the US are split 50/50. It is more like closer to 40/30/30[1]

The test is them opening the unit up and looking for water damage.

You need to tell them to physically show you the water damage or you're placing them under citizen's arrest for felony fraud. Apple employees are stupid and won't act in your favor until you start involving the law. Learn the law, know the law, and use it against Apple at all possible times.

Hope this is helpful to let you know that you’re missing out on some interest due to the on-site requirement.

Of course, it makes sense that vetting, trust and the additional discipline and communication effort required for remote positions can be significant.

However, please keep in mind that much of this can be mitigated by real evidence of past track record accomplishments that establish the ability to fit in with the team, the mission, and your requirements, while still making strong contributions.
The point of domain fronting is to use a domain that is a key internet service, so that blocking it would cause significant collateral damage. If a domain was created specifically for domain fronting it is useless. Egypt could simply block every domain in that list and setup a cron job to automatically block new ones as they are added.

It also used to be the prevailing practice in America that professionals were nearly exclusively male and not reflective of the broader racial makeup of the country. This still is the case in Google's industry.

I claim that not talking about politics at work and having a predominately privileged workforce are closely related. Heterosexual etc. white men like myself have less that we need to talk about, less support we need to ask for from our company and coworkers on "political" topics.
Per the Itch.io page, you can use the $5 premium version which has features like saving as text and allowing you to edit in an external editor, which might help. Pico-8 has this by default, and can definitely confirm it would be awful to try and code a whole game in the built-in editor.

2010 called, they wanted to let you know Facebook has been going vertical for a long time.

They haven't even been secretive about it. Look at their last big vertical push: Facebook marketplace.

They're just trying to follow Google's footsteps to become a full Internet portal. That's why Zuck tried so hard to bring Facebook Zero to India and Africa, and why Zuck is kissing Jinping's feet.

They want nothing short of complete market domination.
I’m kind of in agreement with you... I don’t think the “real” VR inflection point will be here until we have something in this price range (sub $400) all-in-one with 6dof and leap motion-style hand tracking.

But I still bought two Oculus Go’s. Because I think I might be wrong about the 6dof and the finger tracking. I have a sneaking suspicion that with excellent rendering and good design we might see the Mario/FarmVille/Angry Birds/Pokemon Go of VR on a 3dof all-in-one device. We’ll know one way or another within 18 months.

If you’re a developer, it seems worth the risk to assume the inflection point is today, 5/1/2018 though.
I don't understand how someone who ended up working on a C compiler feels intimidated by the standard/-s such software needs to adhere to. And if such people work on a C compiler, we're not logically in for a ride of WTFs?
So it's actually legitimately feasible for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to find a home in an abandoned subway station. I had always wondered why on earth there would be abandoned subway stations. The free working electricity may still be a stretch though.
This is such a bizarre article. How normal is this type of work culture in the valley? Doesn't it make sense to keep politics and personal choices outside of the workplace? Is it really important to bring in a PETA person to talk about animals feeling prejudice at one of the biggest tech companies that makes money via advertisements?
I think anything that is good or feels good has that potential of affecting behavior towards it. Using the word "addict" is a cop out to take away personal responsibility. There are true addicts so it should not be used so lightly. Mark Zuckerburg is a trail blazer, creating industries which did not exist and which no one could predict the negative outcomes. Overall, I'm sure Facebook has done much more good than bad to connect people in a positive way. If it is a net gain, then it is worth fixing, even if that fix means to completely change the technology approach using some blockchain value proposition for example for social cred that is universal and lives outside the social networks themselves.

And I'm libertarian (more or less). I think they probably made too much of disparate incidents and assumed strong connections between them and between them and the damore case.

At any rate, there is too much baggage there to take anything they publish about google at face value.

Where did you get this idea? Foreign students are overwhelmingly paying the foreign student tuition (much higher than domestic tuition) without receiving any financial aid.
If only we had the technology to place one dwelling unit on top of another one.
Isn't that like saying that a person's overriding value is food because they spend so much time and money on it, eating repeatedly throughout the day? When instead that's more a necessity for doing anything else. I agree that Google cares about making money, because without it they wouldn't have a company. But isn't it strong to say their overriding value is money?

Contrast them with, say, the pre-Google search companies. Google was able to kick their asses because Google ignored higher short-term revenue (e.g., display ads) and focused on generating much more search value. Look at GMail, which was a money-loser for years. Or all of their blue-sky projects, the canceling of which would immediately improve their profitability.

This is not to say that they're all buttercups and moonbeams. But I think they could be much greedier, and much more awful.
My impression from the article (and Damore case) is not that discussing politics is a problem per se - the problem is people there taking their politics up to 11, and forgetting any kind of rationality or even common sense on the way.

You're correct: the most important right, if you follow NIMBY conversations, is the god-given right to a free parking spot for your dockless automobile wherever you may happen to go with it.
Exactly. Foreign students also have to prove they can support themselves (on top of paying full price for tuition) before they're even allowed in. The majority of them are pretty well off.
Every fucking office, every workplace, every barbecue and famly gathering since November 8, 2016, has been a fucking Nightmare Mode political minfield. And half of everything anyone says is unsafe.

Shit is fucked. I hate the news. I don’t like talking to human beings, pretty much at all now.

If the conversation doesn’t start of politicized, give it five minutes, and then someone might interject, disagree, you have to pick a side, draw a weapon and make a decision about who to fight alongside, or against, possibly to the death, or at least enough to establish enemies for life.

I’m done with all of you. Just go away. Stop talking to me. I don’t even want to pan handle for some spare change, whether you have it or not.
You'd think it wouldn't take so much effort to defend the claim "if you build enough housing, people won't be homeless", but it does. So let's go with a prominent example: Tokyo.

Neighborhoods in Tokyo have no local control over zoning, and houses are widely understood to be a depreciating asset, not an investment. So Tokyo builds enough housing and homeowners can't pull up the ladder behind them.

The homelessness rate in Tokyo is astonishingly low and decreasing: just 1600 people in a metropolis of 13.6 million. Almost everybody can afford to live somewhere, because there is enough housing for everybody to live somewhere.

You may think I'm saying that your neighborhood has to look like the Ginza area, and I'm not saying that at all. Tokyo contains some calm, beautiful, residential-focused cities such as Setagaya. (If this is confusing: a metropolis can contain a city.)
There's a bootstrapping issue, of course, but that's how it works.

And it's even crazier than what you're picturing. What if I told you that Bigtable runs on top of Colossus, but Colossus itself stores metadata about files, including Bigtable's files, in... Bigtable? It's really turtles all the way down, the last of which is, luckily, Chubby.

I was an Ads PM at Google several years ago. While there are many reasons I personally disliked working there, how Google handles the ethical concern of advertising and Search is not one of them. Google cares about being Search first. Ads are seen as a happy side effect of being able to fully and correctly answer a user's question. Search is often used with commercial intent, after all. One piece of thing most people don't realise is that showing an ad doesn't make Google money. In fact, showing an ad that doesn't convert into a purchase can often lose Google money by depressing the value of an impression. So Google invests a lot in the "targeted" part of the advertising, and making sure that the ad actually provides value.

Imagine which political views an employee might want to avoid voicing while on the job at companies like:

* A defense contractor that makes unmanned aerial vehicles for the US Air Force in Southern California

* A film studio in Atlanta

* A slaughterhouse in East Texas
