Exactly, I've seen lots of couples who met at or were both hired into the same group and sometimes reporting to each orher... a few times it went badly because they couldn't be reasonable and self-aware. Mostly it went fine and they were very productive, conscientious, and easy to work with. It depends on the people, and I see it as only one of many possible personel problems.
The article is about sexual harassment, not sexual assault:

> A year into SoFi’s life, the company’s board learned about Mr. Cagney’s personal behavior. In 2012, the board settled with an executive assistant who had received sexually explicit text messages from Mr. Cagney, The New York Times previously reported.

That is, in fact, behavior that should engender serious consequences. (Also lying to the board about it).

Also, there is no such thing as a CEO "just dating" a subordinate. It's incredibly unfair to the person involved (who might get into the relationship out of concern for what happens to her job if she reject's the CEO's advances).

Even if the relationship is totally on the up and up, it's unfair to everyone else, and in this case was a diversion of corporate resources for illegitimate purposes:

> he had used company resources to pursue a romantic relationship with an employee, the people said. Mr. Cagney said he had previously suggested that employee as a promising candidate for chief financial officer.

It's definitely past the mid-point right now. I'm fortunate to have begun my career just as the excesses of the second wave reached their peak, so I've spent my entire worklife assiduously avoiding any appearance of impropriety. I have never met with a female coworker alone in an office, and have never socialized with women coworkers outside of work. Many have tried to shame me into going out with a group, but I have always declined. It hasn't hurt my career advancement, so no regrets.

Has it hurt the development of some of the women who have been my direct reports over the years? Probably, but it has also protected the women I care about the most, namely my wife and daughter, because it has prevented any kind of accusations from getting traction.

Yes, remarkably, and despite carefully avoiding any sexual talk of any sort at work for over thirty years now, I have been falsely accused of sexual harassment a handful of times over the years, but nothing has ever stuck. I think it is, in large part, because I have been so careful.

This is the consistent counsel I offer to younger men at work. Some listen, most don't. A few have suffered serious career setbacks as a result of fishing off the company pier or other indiscretions, yet it could have been so easily avoided. I'm glad I only have another ten years or so to go. It would be a lot tougher to survive in today's climate as a young man.

You've just given me the idea that interop should be done with "hexponential" notation: 0x123ABC*0x10^0xDEF can be an exact representation of a floating point number.
The two fastest options that I'm currently aware of, by a pretty wide margin, are Ryu and Swift's implementation (single C file, it's only in a C++ file to satisfy a build system quirk in Swift on linux: https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/run..., Apache2 + run time exception).

Ryu is somewhat faster for doubles, though SwiftDtoa has support for 80-bit and float out of the box, which is nice, and we have some further perf improvements planned. Both are considerably faster than any of the alternatives (some perf data in the original Swift PR: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/15474), and both pass our fairly intensive test suite.

musl's implementation is also interesting for reasons of simplicity.

Ask HN: Any good resources to learn about mission-critical distributed systems?
I've been reading up quite a bit on distributed database and compute technologies like Spanner/MapReduce as well as some interesting blog posts on scaling out of Facebook/Twitter/Netflix.

That got me wondering how even "harder" problems - like Visa's payments system, or the global stock exchange network, are implemented. In these applications, the problem is inherently planet-scale, correctness is of utmost importance, and latency is still very, very important.

I haven't been able to find much online on how applications like these are designed, verified and implemented, so any help will be appreciated!

>He wasn’t sexually assaulting people he just dated someone at work.

He was also misusing corporate funds to pursue subordinates, serially lying to his board of directors, and breaking a pledge he had made to them. That's the reason why he was "fired". It was not simply because he had an affair.

40 million assumes that in the 50 years prior to 1999 average usage was less than 400k per year. Going from 0 in 1946 to 1 million in 1999 with nothing but a linear increase would of course be 500k per year on average. My number was more than 20% below that. It was intentionally an extremely conservative estimate. I do not believe that you believe that organizations such as the LA Times and NY Times are incapable of digging up incident reports in the decades before 1999 - that's cognitive dissonance.

And on that note, I feel as though you're projecting here. The numbers we've come up for here look okayish even when you are making crazy assumptions like pretending these things never existed before 1999, or were using some rather creative math to get that person hours estimate. Reality is rather friendlier, meaning these numbers are going to go from "okayish" to something substantially better. The reason we were interested in the rates was not to prove they are safer than cars, but to show that when you look at the incident rates that these calls for bans on them are grossly sensationalistic and emotional. I'm not sure what level of accident rate does make one start pondering a ban, but we're obviously not even in the remotely right ballpark for that sort of discussion.

The NTSB investigates literally thousands of incidents, offers probable cause and solutions where available. The presence of solutions that could lessen the dangers of catastrophic failure is not the same thing as the boats themselves being unsafe. For instance, if I were to locate a report from the NTSB proposing some form of vehicular regulation or another, would you then insist that all vehicles are unsafe, simply for the fact that they could be made more safe? I would not have to search long, as you can see from their reports [1] yourself.

Edited title, thanks.
The author uses metric units except in the case of viewing distance, which is likely to present a more intuitive distance to the (I assume) primarily American audience. The mix of metric and imperial is a bit weird, but you can see it as a case of using metric where the things being measured have a strong convention of metric units (wavelength, luminance) and using imperial where it doesn't really matter (viewing distance).
It's risky. That's what he's saying. Perhaps, very risky.

The DEA has been finding levamisole and phenacetin in cocaine. Levamisole in most cocaine these days!

Levamisole used long term destroys the immune system, like a chemical form of AIDS.

It's about being in a position of power over the other person.

It's unethical to make advances on someone you hold power over because there's an implication that rejecting the advances could harm their career and their working relationship with the superior.
Electron has a feature that enables you to run js such that it can't talk to Node.js. Maybe they were doing that?

For gRPC we needed the code to work on all major OS's and had to support a number of different build systems. In no case were the capabilities of the target system manually specified, as that wouldn't have been sustainable. And specifying for each build system what files to include or not for each platform would have been onerous and hard to work with (as the person adding some platform-specific code probably isn't fluent in build systems for other platforms).

So the solution we adopted is a header file that detects the target platform capabilities. And each source file being either platform-agnostic, or specific to one platform. In the latter case, the whole file contents would be #ifdef'd out if compiling for a different platform.

It is far from the first time men have suffered consequences for sexual misconduct at work. MeToo is really just Hollywood and the media being held to the same standard that most of corporate America has had since the late 70s or early 80s.

Christ, you'd think they invented it, even though the vast majority of people have lived under these rules for over two decades.
It works, but it's a warning sign, similar to a scientific paper not written in LaTeX or without a list of citations at the end is likely to have significant issues.
I mean, it even expands out to larger arenas. Like whenever someone points out Politician R is doing something wrong, there's the flood of people who point out Politician Ds who did something wrong and vice versa. It's a mindset of your opinion of the person and not the action.

I notice some people just naturally gravitate towards one or the other. Some are more people-centric and some more action-centric.

I would like to think I'm one of the more action-centric ones. But that's because it seems like the "better" one. The one that leads to less hypocrisy. I can't imagine electing to be the kind of person who bases their opinion of an action on the person who did it. So I imagine everyone thinks they're criticizing actions rather than people. It does worry me and I try to watch out for when I may be excusing an action because I like the person.

Check out terminology or alacritty. Linux has a wealth of excellent terminal emulators that IMO vastly outperform iTerm from both a performance and functionality perspective.
It is on HN, where, for some inexplicable reason, people are really concerned about the idea that CEOs might have to find relationships somewhere outside their company. Lying to the board? How else was he supposed to get a date!
>Broadly speaking I've noticed a correlation between late screen time and bad sleep (or rather falling asleep).

Your observation could be due to the placebo effect. That's why a study is warranted. A yellow post-it could have similar effects if everybody constantly said that having a post-it on the display frame prevents circadian rhythm disruption.
He lied to his board. So if you're a board member that breaks trust and you've got to ask what else is he lying about?
Ask HN: Tool for Managing Devices Being Tested
I have been investigating the market for tooling recently for testing that has both a hardware and software component, and while I've found (and had previously known about) test case management tools like qTest, one thing that I've not seen much if any offerings for is a tool that tracks and coordinates test hardware (i.e. user XYZ is currently utilizing test Android device 123 for test foo, user ABC in the queue to use this hardware for test bar, and maybe user DEF "owns" this hardware and these other users and borrowing it). I can't tell if there just isn't that much out there in terms of tools, or maybe I'm asking the wrong people/searching for the wrong terms.

Does anyone know of a flexible test device management tool or system (could be for mobile, embedded, IoT or anything similar, and can be open source or paid) that allows users to define test devices/systems (like a server or an IoT device or similar) with custom attributes and to coordinate usage of these between users and tests? Maybe even better if it allowed devices to be grouped together (like this IP enabled sensor is supposed to be talking to this server, both of which are tracked in this tool).
serially lying to his board of directors

I was once told, “as the CEO your job is to keep the board completely snowed so you can run the company without interference”.

Honestly I thought this was table stakes in the valley.
So, should we also disallow any other conflicting personal relationships up the chain of command? Where do we stop? Romantic relationships? Family? Friends? All of them create the same conflicts of interest and mismatches power dynamics.

And it makes sense. It's hard to relax when you are exhausted from traveling. The best you can do is exhaust yourself getting to/from your destination, then relax while you are there.

Any vacation with constant switching of locations is not about relaxing. It's about something else, and that might be what you want.
See, that's the problem with red-light reduction software: it seems like it does something nice, but there doesn't seem to be any concrete evidence supporting it other than personal anecdotes of "I can live without this anymore".

This is especially important when dealing with potential clients. Can't risk putting them off and losing that relationship! Wait til you get to know them, go to the bar and have a few drinks first, see if they have the same humor as you, and then let loose and joke around freely. It also helps to not have a negative or dark sense of humor or personality in general. More people have one than not, but they'll also be quicker to turn on you, so the long-term risk is still too high.
When I was interning at Mozilla, we had a joke about tracing back the history of pieces of code via recursive `blame` (to get more context on them), and how so many roads in the JS engine led back to a bhackett commit.
I think the point is, there are things that we have a hard time dealing with right now scientifically, just because we don't have the tools/theory/whatever. In these cases, you're right that we can't know truth from falsehood. But that doesn't mean we can't discuss such things and share knowledge about our experiences. Non-scientific discourse (meaning, outside of science, not anti-science) is still discourse that may be worth having, especially given something as subjective and experiential as the mind.

They didn't realize that they were trying to turn their hangups into your problem.

Having you stand there waiting probably made them self-conscious about what they were doing. They were feeling judged despite you likely didn't care what they were doing. And that made them uncomfortable.

But that's not your fault technically.
That’s more perception than reality. Many powerful men and some women have been removed from upper management in industry or government due to sexual harassment. Add to that many very large monetary payouts resulting in policies and training for decades, the difference is before social media these things have been mostly kept quite.

Hollywood has also been something of a holdout as people hold power without being someone’s supervisor.

Personally I've noticed I tend towards passive aggressive as "failure mode". Which plays out as "being difficult".

e.g. Authority figure tells me something is X and I think they're wrong. Say as much, but it doesn't stick. End result is I go with X but with lots of resistance. (Not helpful for career)

I'd also venture that what the author describes - online interactions are a rather unique ballgame. IRL I know when I'm the smartest person in the room. Online there is always a real chance that you're arguing against a triple PhD that can school you till the end of time without breaking a sweat, but was just being modest & polite.
"There were only 36M users online, roughly the same order as the number of Bitcoin users in the U.S."

When you say "users", what do these users "use" Bitcoin for besides speculating on its price?

Do you know of any real usage?
I agree. We're living in increasingly socially conservative times. Somewhat ironically this seems to be due to the moral superiority of the "left" rather than the traditionalism associated with the right.

I also find the implicit assumption that all people who break the current moral codes of the day (even if they did so in the past!) should be henceforth unemployable and the subject of social outrage.
Again, it's not really about the relationship. It's about misusing company funds for it, not to mention lying to HR and the board about it.

The tone of the comments on this thread so far is basically: if I can’t lie, embezzle, break multiple company regulations, and expose both myself and the company to sexual harassment charges, how am I ever going to meet Mrs. Right? I hope you understand how insane that is.

They've been doing suspicious things in order to do that, though. Remember the time they offered the app as an Xcode project so that people could self-sign it, and it ended up being an opaque binary being copied to the device rather than the source code being built and installed?
My favorite feature of iterm2 is that it can detect borders and confine the selection within them (e.g. only selecting one side of a tmux or vim split). This means I don’t have to bother figuring out how to synchronize the clipboards of OS X and various terminal apps, for most use cases.

I feel like this article should have quoted some lines from the earlier article (which was linked): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/12/technology/sofi-chief-exe...

It goes into much more detail on the circumstances of Cagney leaving SoFi. The "romantically involved with an employee" phrasing in this article makes it sounds like he was just dating an employee. I think that weakens the point that's trying to be made, since many people don't equate "dating an employee" with "sex scandal". The earlier article raises additional concerns suggesting that dating one employee was not the only problem.

(Note that untrustworthy drive firmware has an easy workaround at least in theory - just do full-disk authenticated encryption, and then the drive can't do anything worse than DoS you, which is sort of a thing drives tend to do on their own anyway.)
