I'm saying everything they're saying appears to be factual, and also that they are transparent.
You're going to get different results for the same queries depending on where you are in terms of DNS queries. This is not a FB thing, either. Lots of places will "steer" you towards one frontend, POP, datacenter, or whatever, in order to get you off the public Internet and onto their fabric sooner.

Run the same query from a bunch of sites with different connectivity in the same town and you might get different answers depending on who's got peering agreements with who. Then spin that query again using other places in the world and you can get even more variety.

That is, assuming the site in question has worked out a way to vary the A/AAAA records for their actual domain (as opposed to the hosts within it, like "www"). Some of them might just point it at a single POP/frontend/whatever, and when that one goes down for whatever reason... things get interesting. Not that I would know anything about that.
This may be from another article, but I would like a formal definition of what "in a state of undress" means.
Thanks for posting. This is a serious issue that is difficult to discuss openly and your perspective (particularly the part about a poor woman from a bad neighborhood's changing expectations) is something I hadn't seen or thought of before, but absolutely makes sense.
If you're using graphQL just for that...
You can expose a POST endpoint that can follow relation (GET) links recursively, starting from a base resource.
It's a bit of work but still far less than implementing a good schema, resolvers, etc. And much less technological coupling to a particular solution (apollo, etc).
Why do social networks have to be so big and centralized?

Because we don’t have good open source software like Wordpress for blogs that people can install and manage their own networks on their own servers. And why? Because a social network is far more complex than a blog, including contacts integration, permissions, realtime notifications and so on.

You're right as far as the post I replied to is talking about mortal health risk to mother or child, which doesn't seem to be a huge issue at 35. I was also thinking about the risk of not being able to have kids at all, or having less serious issues like Downs which is pushing 1% of live births before age 40 (https://www.aafp.org/afp/2000/0815/p825.html).
Given that I'm living in Denmark, I can't really apply for this position. I appreciate it though.
Regardless of whether the acceleration were caused by the software or not, the testimonies for the software experts called in to review Toyota's source code for the case were eye-popping:

http://www.safetyresearch.net/blog/articles/toyota-unintende...

> Skid marks notwithstanding, two of the plaintiffs’ software experts, Phillip Koopman, and Michael Barr, provided fascinating insights into the myriad problems with Toyota’s software development process and its source code – possible bit flips, task deaths that would disable the failsafes, memory corruption, single-point failures, inadequate protections against stack overflow and buffer overflow, single-fault containment regions, thousands of global variables. The list of deficiencies in process and product was lengthy.

>There are a large number of functions that are overly complex. By the standard industry metrics some of them are untestable, meaning that it is so complicated a recipe that there is no way to develop a reliable test suite or test methodology to test all the possible things that can happen in it. Some of them are even so complex that they are what is called unmaintainable, which means that if you go in to fix a bug or to make a change, you're likely to create a new bug in the process. Just because your car has the latest version of the firmware -- that is what we call embedded software -- doesn't mean it is safer necessarily than the older one….And that conclusion is that the failsafes are inadequate. The failsafes that they have contain defects or gaps. But on the whole, the safety architecture is a house of cards. It is possible for a large percentage of the failsafes to be disabled at the same time that the throttle control is lost.

etc. etc.
I'm not familiar with this space but I'm pretty sure there are hard realtime kernels for linux. I'd hope they're using one.
I agree. QA has to inform management, who ought to work with the teams producing (software, widget, service) to address the causal factors of the discovered defects and deficiencies.

By inform, I don't mean "rat out". I mean, management has to have a learning objective. To understand the system that they're managing (because no one understands it fully, their mental model is different than what's actually happening). QA, along with other sources, inform the model of management who can then work with teams to improve the overall system.
Isn't the fact that Amazon is going to these lengths to control the narrative suggestive that even they themselves consider this issue to be a sufficiently serious problem such that an investigation by a regulatory body (e.g. Department of Labor) would actually find something. I think the appropriate saying would be "where there is smoke, there is fire"?

Good.

Ultimately, the invasiveness of this sort of search is not worth the slim chance that something of legal interest may be discovered. Criminals have free reign to "import" data via the Internet already, so they're just going to go that route most of the time. If you suspect someone of a crime, get a warrant, and then have your customs officer seize the device. But the "we're just checking to make sure you're not doing anything illegal" is antithetical to the freedoms the United States guarantees, and should not be tolerated at the border... at least when the stakes are this low.

I hope this case sees trial and the judge understands how to weigh the invasiveness against the possible benefits.
> Unfortunately, that's not how this works. If it were, then the article wouldn't be citing early 30s as the age at which educated women have kids.

It is exactly how this works, which is exactly why that's the finding: more specifically, while education is the explanatory factor, the issue isn't women delaying having kids to finish school, it's certain women (well, families; while they don't discuss it in as much depth, the article points out first time fathers are getting older, too) delaying having kids to have an estsblished career, of which education is a foundation.

A mommy track for college (or, more gender neutrally, as for the population this actually helps, this actually probably applies just as much for the men in the same families, better support for parents as part-time re-entering students generally) doesn't serve that population at all; it does serve the population that's already choosing to have kids before getting a degree, but the problem it could help solve for them isn't the problem of declining fertility and increased risk of birth complications and defects that starts to kick in in the mid-to-late 30s and beyond.

Aside from possible issues of overgeneralization, I don't have much issue with the narrative you present as a path that some women go through in your post—it certainly happens just that way in some cases—but what you fail to do with it is connect it in any way to the solution you've presented.

I'd actually be quite interested in seeing an argument connecting them, but it's impossible to have a productive discussion if you choose to view any challenge to an argument you present as if it were an attack on yourself and your gender.
Doesn't really matter. The fact that she was made to be uncomfortable was the problem.

Ok, I appreciate your willingness to share.

FWIW it's virtually impossible to determine the open-mindedness of someone from afar, and to make assumptions about their ability to even consider other ideas seems like a way to insulate oneself from difficult ideas - by declaring that someone is incapable of an honest evaluation of your perspective, it prevents your perspective from being scrutinized (which, ironically, could lead to being close-minded if you're not careful).

A parting thought: most people
(a) can be reasoned with if not attacked - you can find common ground and have a good discussion with nearly anybody
(b) on every "interesting" social/political issue there are intelligent and thoughtful and just really great people with nuanced and reasonable perspectives all across the spectrum - the extremist nutjobs on the fringes are wildly outnumbered by pretty normal people

So as a random dude on the internet, just a friendly warning that if the above strikes you as untrue (e.g. if you believe large chunks of people are intolerant or incapable of being reasoned with, or if you see a difficult social issue as pretty much black and white and can't understand why so many people don't get it), then there's a good chance that you've been duped and have been sucked into a form of modern tribalism.

Have a great day!

The amount of carbon and methane being released into the air, resources being gobbled up, deforestation, and pollution, is already too much. That's why it's a zero sum game, in order to get the things everyone wants, you have to out-earn, guilt, or legislate away somebody else's. It might not exactly match the concept, but it's close enough, much like the old free speech in privately owned public spaces debate.

She's Muslim, and did not want unrelated men to see her without her hijab. Perhaps she was also naked, who knows? But she probably wouldn't say that, out of propriety.

(The fact that she's a member of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, maybe explain why they were hassling her in particular.)
I've been using Stimulus in a couple of projects render HTML server-side and use Turbolinks.

It makes JS enhancements/sprinkles so much easier to implement. Stimulus is a step in the right direction from jQuery hell but not a fully loaded client-side rendering framework.

I've done a lot of React/Angular/Vue in the past. Stimulus is a much more light handed approach that I really appreciate as a developer -- less duplicated logic and common sense defaults. Dead simple to pick up.

For content based sites, Stimulus is a much better tool IMHO.
> But telling a girl that she has to have a child before she gets access to this particular pot of money sets up the same restrictive environment and lack of "choice" that you decry in the "evil patriarchy".

I never said that financial support should be restricted to moms. There's no reason why we can't help both types of individuals in the situation that they are in. More help for girls before they have kids means they have lower needs later when they have children, and children of financially stable, educated moms are probably not going to have children before getting educated themselves. Financing both is a societal win-win.

If we manage to finance a Navy and an Air Force at the same time, we can figure out how to finance both poor girls' and moms' education.

While I agree that 14% is horrible, that was a point-in-time number that is being compared to an average. One would hope that factories regularly run well above 80%. I'd also bet that some occasionally drop well below it for a day or so.

The details matter here and given the quality that I see in the field, I'm not convinced that this is such a horrible situation.
Having seen both sides of patents vs non-patents arguments. The only sane conclusion I have come to is, to have a validity for a much shorter duration for tech patents like 10 years or so. If the company cannot extract value from it in the next 10 years or less, then let someone else do it.
Exactly.. i think you often see a warning about pickle when it comes to safety.

I used to work at SpaceX on avionics software, in a role very similar to OP, and my experience was similar in some respects.

The tech and products were complex. The turnover rate was high and training new hires was a lengthy process. The new projects coming down the pipeline never ceased (this was during a period where FH/F9-1.1/Dragon/Crew was all under design/development and constant iteration).

I've heard this before, but tbh I'm not familiar enough with auth systems to see why it's true. I've certainly used "login with Facebook", etc. as an alternative to email/password login for sites I've created in the past, and I've seen others do so.

Do you mind elaborating?
Runtime isolation is distinct from compile/build-time isolation. You're citing the latter, but it's the former that matters. Tesla gets this right, e.g. an interrupt in the MCU does not have any effect on braking, drive-by-wire, or ADAS systems while a car is in operation.

Why would Amazon pay for PR to say something bad about themselves? Of course these sponsored tweets are going to contradict negative employee anecdotes. If anything, this shows Amazon is more prepared to pour money into shifting online sentiment than reviewing employee issues in their warehouses.
As a person who used to write navigation and control software for autonomous vehicles who occasionally gets downvoted for telling people that you really don't need a fancy RTOS for this stuff, you really don't need a fancy RTOS for this stuff.

Don't overlook that these filmmakers are heavily incentivized to create a dramatic story. No one will watch a film that says "Yep, it's a pretty normal warehouse, and they even pay a little more than their peers", and the filmmakers certainly won't win respect or accolades for putting out such a piece. This is a well-known problem with any "reality-based" programming; the incentives of the documentarians are primarily to provide an exhilarating narrative.

> they were already inclined to isolate themselves in meatspace, why would cyberspace be any different?

Because people generally "friend" everyone in sight. I got probably 50+ FB friends from work, the people I wouldn't call friends IRL. There's still some unhealthy obsession with the friend counts.

When I used FB, I did the bi-annual purge, unfriended everyone I hadn't talked to in months. Got some weird reactions too!

I agree with you, FB will likely implement/force the echo chambers in the end, the current open social network isn't working, and banning one side will lead to a massive loss of ad revenue.
I'm sure anything embedded is almost nothing like the pre-modified stock. The few paper I've read from embedded people is that they know how and will strip everything down until things are like they need.

Endorsing it in the specific context of a “mommy track” without an explicit expabsit does naturally lead to that conclusion.

It is disclosed. They have their titles (Amazon FC Ambassador) the Amazon box logo and their names are all @Amazon*. It's completely transparent, which you'd know had you read the article rather than the title.

The environment is full of extremely abrasive particles. It probably isn't your fingernail itself that is scratching the paint, but the microscopic grit between your nail and the paint which acts like sandpaper. You drag those particles across the paint and they dig in like tiny cutting tools.

I have also experienced a strange Aurora phenomenon. My first year living up north I was lucky enough to catch the northern lights. They were gray (not green) but really fun. A kind of camo-patterened pulsing, flickering in and out, with ripples that would move through it.

Eventually they moved from the northern horizon to entirely overhead, and even into the southern horizon. The overall pattern continued: pulses of circles fading in and out like blinking neon light, with waves crashing through and across the entire thing, slowly. Still gray, never green.

Then I noticed that the waves would all "sink" into a single spot in the sky. Directly overhead was a "dark spot" in the borealis, and it moved around slightly and had this wicked looking "interference" pattern around it, like what you'd expect to see with two magnets interfering.

Over and over the waves would ripple from the north and "sink" into this dark spot. The hole itself seemed to pulse as the waves moved around and ultimately into it. Kind of felt like it was a kind of magnetic pole. Not sure. The aurora itself (patterns of blinking, pulsing, shimmering) continued into the southern sky, but the dark hole was right overhead.

I haven't been able to really find anyone else who has experienced this. Just wanted to share.

I like most of what you're saying, however, I would propose this. For kids, at a certain point, more interaction becomes detrimental. As an impending father, who will likely be the primary caretaker, I want them to spend a significant portion of time without my help so they learn and grow and can problem solve from an early age. Obviously not abandoning them or something so extreme, but letting them be creative and become their own person. As an aside, I think this all in parenting attitude some people, not saying you necessarily, have is what pushes people to have children later (if at all).

"When in town, don't wear brown" is the adage.

I'm not British, but I've worked for several British companies and this topic has come up in conversation when I complimented someone on their black shoes with a Navy suit, as it's a combination that I never thought to pair (I hate black shoes).

My understanding is brown shoes are considered to be sporty or informal Britons. It's something you'd wear to go hunting or on a picnic, never to a work. So I think wearing brown shoes with business attire is seen almost like an American wearing hiking boots.
