>Am I crazy, and the world has just moved on to be horrible?

Lol I got fired for making a joke after-hours over beers to a guy that wasn't politically aligned. It's wild. To mess with someones livlihood because of a political opinion.
But less than 1/10th as bad as cars, no?
The original point of argument was “Criticism of Islam's human rights record.“ Not “railing against Islam.” Was anything unclear about this?

I don't know about Go, but if I faced such an issue with rust, I would make a trait with one method:

fn print(self) -> Self {
println!("{:?}", self);
self
}

You can do it nicely, so all you need is to add one `derive` to a type declaration, and then you will be able to insert .print() into the chain.

It is like print in lisps, might be really handy for the debug printing.
Advertising, given huge income from arms sales. Also perhaps generating fear and awe.
I'm genuinely curious what "All lives matter" stands for except for being opposed to the idea that "Black lives matter".

There's a key difference here - "Black lives matter" attempts to point out that there is discrimination in law enforcement that seems to single out minorities. Correcting this discrimination would be good. What policy change does "All lives matter" advocate? Do those policy changes indeed benefit "all lives" or are they more designed to take away focus from legitimate problems minorities face due to racism or inequality?

To be honest I quite suspect it is the latter, and that is why I frankly suspect that "All lives matter" is racist at it's core. After all, if the movement doesn't really advocate for policy changes that benefit all lives but instead is just a reaction to attempts to fix discrimination, that is pretty racist.
From Harvard Business Review:

"Results from our experiment involving 118 undergraduate students showed that taking the perspective of LGBT individuals or racial minorities — by writing a few sentences imagining the distinct challenges a marginalized minority might face — can improve pro-diversity attitudes and behavioral intentions toward these groups."

Both judges and "risk-assessment tools" have biases. Judges have unconscious biases and risk-assessment tools are fed biased data. So I'm not confident this will actually help matters.
point taken, that definitely seems over the line

That makes no sense. It would be against the company's interest to do that for many reasons.
my gf has bail review on the 30th, too bad this won't help her. her bail is at $355,000, she's currently in vista detention facility =(
We’ve actually moved from a society that was openly intolerant of liberal values, to one that is openly intolerant of conservative ones. Neither of those scenarios are better, it’s just putting the shoe on the other foot. When I was a kid I had to worry about some coalition of Christians or moms petitioning congress to prevent me from listening to rage against the machine. Now I have to worry about a mob of liberals branding me a Nazi and trying to get me fired for supporting free speech. I’ve always supported freedom of expression and tolerance to other world views. When I was younger, that made me a liberal. Today, that makes me a conservative (or an extremist depending on who you ask).
Bicycle Dutch, the blog you posted, also has a great YouTube channel detailing Dutch bike infrastructure and some of its history: https://www.youtube.com/bicycledutch
From the perspective of a startup you would cause too much expense. They have to pay your onboarding and until you produce real value 1-2 months will pass. In this time they already have to pay you. If you leave the company after 2 further months their expense for you will be higher than your earnings if you are not highly specialized and more a consultant than an employee.

However: In Germany most companies have a time of probation for 3-6 months. In this time you can leave the company whenever you want. So you could simply join the company and leave it after 4 months.
Wha are you afraid of? Losing internet points? Give me a break.
You only say that because it's convenient for you. You would not like it one bit at the conservative places I worked at. It really is a two way street and u-turns are allowed.
Anyone want to take bets on this resulting in another James Damore style firing, but at FB instead of Google this time?
Different levels of abstraction. TeXstudio is akin to an IDE for LaTeX, whereas LyX is more a nice frontend on top of LaTeX. IMO, if you're already experienced and happy with LaTeX there's no reason to switch, but if you don't already know LaTeX or you find the workflow clunky LyX may be a good fit.
> people who get caught committing crimes are generally not the best at responding to the incentive of not going to jail

People who are arrested and charged for crimes (charges which in many cases are dropped before trial) are not necessarily people who have been caught committing crimes.

> people who get caught committing crimes are generally not the best at responding to the incentive of not going to jail

The pre-trial services model does not rely exclusively on that incentive, any more than the money bail system does.

> Introducing a third party with vested interests at no additional cost

The involvement of bail bondsmen has a cost; the fact that the major direct cost is paid for by what amounts to a tax on the (potentially wrongly) arrested doesn't mean it isn't a cost.
But absolute freedom of speech IS A LEFT WING OPINION! Is no one here old enough to remember the fight over pornography or offensive language in art/music/movies? That was the right trying to shut down speech they disagreed with via corporate power! These people are _not_ liberals, they're something else that's new and terrifying
Had a bit of a rough day, and insightful or not, your comment still did brighten my day.
I couldn't convince the school to buy other tablets - and I started to wonder why I was pressing it. I entered teaching from the programming world (avid Linux user here) and I guess I saw Android as synonymous with Linux. Now I just see it as synonymous with Google - and Chromebook quality and software hasn't won me over.

There is a stigma among edtechs (the IT of education) in my area that Android doesn't have the management tools they need - for provisioning software, propagating device settings and such. Presumably that's wrong - (?) - but I also don't know which tablets to recommend, there are too many to try and a teacher can't deal with a flaky device. You have too many students.

Rather than trying to solve that stigma, I am trying to work through the (level 1) discussion of: should we be giving laptops to kindergarteners? (Not talking about anyone here's kindergartener - but those with backgrounds like I see at public school.)

The iPad may not be better - but it works and has less friction to adoption. I'll try to win the battles that I can win. Thanks for the question! I appreciate it.
I don't mean "Fido ate my homework", I mean the line of reasoning for choosing or ranking X over Y or Z. If you as a human say a given picture depicts a monkey instead of a squirrel, the user/boss will want to know "why". We expect an answer like "monkeys have big round ears and the picture shows big round ears". We want similar from AI. Maybe it can highlight monkey-esque features in blue and squirrel-esque features in red, along with a color key.
It seems there are many valid reasons to disrespect a coworker, and being a neo-nazi is one of them.

You cannot hide a violent philosophy behind a shield of "it is my beliefs". None of us shall ever accept it. If it becomes the law that I must accept neo nazis, I still will not.
Could you explain how Facebook has a monopoly on the public discourse?

Jones was banned from YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, and itunes. That's 4 other platforms controlled by four other entities.

For many people, Twitter and YouTube will both have larger reach than Facebook (yes fb has more users, but people don't go to Facebook to catch up on news from big influencers like they do on Twitter), so what makes Facebook the monopoly?
If you feel I’ve misunderstood your comment, or that you did not fully articulate your point, please feel free to elaborate. I’m not overly swayed or impressed by drive-by disparagement.
Who says it has to be an according-to-Hoyle union? The NLRA covers all concerted organized action. Start a professional association. The doctors and lawyers have them. We don't get one? Why?
I don't mean any offense, but it has been my experience that people who can afford to "put politics aside", so to speak, are people from demographics who didn't have politics "happen" to them.

When you are gay or trans and a significant chunk of people find your mere existence revolting, when you are black and a significant chunk of people believe you are innately less intelligent and more prone to violence, when you are a woman and a significant chunk of people believe you have no business starting a career or working in tech or people don't believe you when you claim to have been sexually assaulted, it's hard to treat "politics" as an abstract debate where free-thinking intellectuals joust in the marketplace of ideas. In these contexts, you actually live "politics" - every day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep. You can't opt out of it.

I am taking these examples because they resonate best with what are considered "political" subjects in the West, but in more gruesome contexts, such as the situation of Syria, "politics" is whether you are pro-Assad, pro-rebel, which rebel group you are part of, etc. You can see how silly (at best) or insulting (at worst) it can be to try and dismiss politics when they are actually a matter of life or death.

Whenever there is a struggle, whenever there is an imbalance of power perceived by some to be unfair, there is politics. If you do not perceive that imbalance, it means you are on the better end of it, and your lack of stand is simply apathy for the status quo. I don't seek to judge you for that, but hopefully you may understand that some people are unhappy with the status quo and wish that it change, and that's why they're getting political.
The fact that you're being downvoted indicates just how troubled and just how racist our society still is. Good luck all. Either hackernews has been infiltrated by a slew of far right wing posters or the general public has become so dumb that it's sweeping into this forum.

Either wait I'm inclined to post here less and read the comments here less.
Writing RTL takes one night but, how long will the verification take? How much will it take to tapeout? Who will pay for it?
I don't work in the Valley, but in my large Facebook-analogous Seattle tech company my experience reflects his. I actively (and successfully) avoid discussing politics at work (I'm closest to a classic liberal fwiw). My company lobbies for and promotes several left-leaning positions (e.g. immigration, which I agree with) in official communications, and I've been on both the passive and active receiving-end of multiple left-leaning political rants since I've joined.

I've never heard any such officially expressed views or political rants from coworkers expressing right-leaning views.

Just a data point but I suspect it's not an uncommon one.

Elon Musk’s 3 Step First Principles Thinking to Solve Problems Like a Genius
Judge's biases exist in the money bail system too. Judges often set bail amounts from a range.

This doesn't solve all issues, this just solves one issue, which is that someone's economic status shouldn't be why they're in jail, only their likelihood of committing more crime, witness tampering, or skipping court.

I'm sure this new system will have problems that will need to be addressed, but it is a moral thing to TRY.

>If an employee is harassing or demeaning their coworker based on their beliefs,

What does beliefs mean to you? Beliefs cast a very wide net. Is there no point at which a coworker should be cast out? Perhaps it is their religious belief that women should not be allowed to work. May such a person remain? Are we not to push back?
You shouldn't be tolerated or respectes as a result of your 'race' or 'sexuality'. Don't miss the forest for the trees.
It’s not allowed.

But people can accidentally disrespect LGBT people eg. calling trans people by the incorrect gender.

And so to foster this workplace that you want as well it’s important for people to do things like tolerance training.
> And what's so bad about having one ID for your bank, another for your employer?

Is there? Or are they both using SSN?
Yes! It's possible that is the entire source of the discrepancy.

But I am still a bit surprised that you haven't at least run into some libertarians in CA.
I was responding to OP's Palmer reference, not asserting an opinion about the sexual proclivities of right/left cohorts. Apologies if it came across that way.
I wish Gov. Jerry Brown was young enough to run for President. I don't like the crop of Democrats that are vying for 2020.
> If I disrespect you because your haircut is unfashionable,would that be ok?

No, that would be inappropriate. It would be equally inappropriate for someone to call a person who called out your inappropriate behavior disrespectful or intolerant. Similarly for your concern regarding neo-nazis.
"tolerance" swings both ways. Unless you choose to be intolerant.

The majority of people who spout tolerance and acceptance at me are the least tolerant and acceptant of other beliefs.
The way I read the article is that HR told the complainers that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

On the other hand, how many Marxsists are hired into Wall Street companies, and what is their sway on the company culture?
This iPad hasn't seen an update since 2015. The standard iPad is now being marketed to schools at the $299 price. No, it's not gone - which is why I thought to write this article, as an attempt to see the usefulness of this specific model and size.

I agree that I'm being a bit hyperbolic - but it's not just that I like the product. It works _very_ well for a specific audience - K-2. Thought it was worth mentioning.

The sole Twitch extension, Twitch Now, requires access “See and modify your data across all websites.”

There’s no reason for this, but there’s also nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to develop my own competing extension, and no other extensions exist. It’s quite annoying.

They could theoretically be harvesting all of my Gmail emails, making changes to my GitHub repositories, monitoring my Slack conversations, and more.
I'm a long-time bike commuter in the U.S (Portland, OR suburbs). Your comment reminds me of a Dutch colleague I once worked with. He was adamant that cycling conditions were too dangerous here. As a relative statement compared to the Netherlands, I'm sure that's true. For me personally, the health benefits and general enjoyment make it worthwhile. Also, it's important to know what you're doing when cycling in traffic, even in a "bike friendly" city. Unfortunately, there's no formal education in the USA around that topic, like there is for driving an automobile.
Instead of the duly appointed Judge making the decision, the power is delegated to a "Risk Assessment" board. (i.e., a bunch of unaccountable social workers).

So, instead of an individual Judge getting flack for excessive bail, he can sleep at night having had his authority delegated to an anonymous 'committee' that can refuse to set bail altogether.

It seems the general public -- at least in California -- has little idea of the enormous role in the judicial system played by bail bondsmen. I know dozens. They are all a bit sketchy. But, they are the front-line dealing with the lowest rungs of society. They do a lot of good, ensure their charges stay out of trouble, and show up to court. They do it for a profit. But, that doesn't diminish their role.

I'm interested in seeing how it will turn out. I wish them well, but I've found abuses are more likely when the responsibility for a person is diffused amongst many.
I love this!

I also love the idea of digital prepping (? Not sure if there's a real term for it). Even just jokingly preparing to have a set of tech work after some kind of apocalypse. UPS/solar driven home LAN with a server running copies of wiki, stack overflow, various other resources. Maybe a bunch of music/movies/games. Whatever would assist us if we lost the internet and power grids.

I don't actually think that's likely to happen, but I absolutely do enjoy some mild prepping just for fun and because the effort is so low I might as well be prepared (we have a bugout bag, extensive first aid kit, all the basic tools and survival gear, etc).

It's also just handy to have this stuff around and "own" it rather than always depend on others to be there for us.
freeman dyson doesn't have a PhD either jajaja
That this is downvoted here is really a depressing thing. Does hackernews actually represent the average, highly educated tech professional? If so we are in for a very bad time.
Microsoft bundling Xbox One and its best services into one monthly subscription
One could argue that "black lives matter" is exclusory to all other races. "All lives matter" is often meant as a means to include the rest of the population (and thus, have better chances of creating change). It's viable to argue that sticking with the former is worth the exclusive rhetoric because Black people suffer disproportionately. But the notion of actually _firing_ someone over using "all lives matter" as the memo alleges seems absolutely insane.
No,they are your coworker. Period. They're not your friend. They are not promoting neo-nazi beliefs at work or direspecting other coworkers,what business of yours is their neo-nazi activity? Peace has a price.
Oh they were defending it all right, when it gave the Obama campaign the complete US social graph, which helped Obama to secure his second term.
It would certainly ward off some employees that don't agree with the values being promoted (a good thing!).
Thank you for speaking up Brian Amerige. We need more people like you.
How long can you survive without funds? If your app dies, all your growth will be wasted.

Edit - I checked out your app and saw that you had to disable some features. If I were in your shoes, I would pull a Whatsapp and monetize immediately. As it stands, you don't have any power and major power imbalances tend not to work out in the founder's favour.
Well, it's true that homeowners sometimes bite off more than they can chew, but that's not really what I'm talking about. Even if you do a great job, the minor imperfections are going to be very noticeable to you. Whoever did the staircase in my house splashed woodstain on the white paint parts (it's got white for the front of the steps and natural wood on top) and I never even noticed until I did basically the same thing to the side of the house staining the deck.

Also, if your house is in the right area people will buy anything.
This is an important question - how much personalization is ok within a workplace? I am grateful I've worked in really professional environments - nothing overtly political or anything. It might have been a bit bland, but honestly it helped us stay focused on the work.
Getting people to show up to trial is the main one.

I’d like to see an experiment where rather than money, instead a free citizen is offered up for bail. And if you don’t show up for trial the citizen goes to jail till they apprehend you.
That’s interesting. I figure we’re more like PEs than MDs or JDs.
> Seems like this would be fine if software is created by contractors or third party vendors

I had the same thought. Seems like it would be trivial to create a "license condom"[1] in the form of a contractor who exercises the rights granted under the license as a proxy for the real user. I'd add "...or any entity acting on behalf of same" to the end of the first paragraph. Or even better, I'd get a real copyright lawyer's opinion about what phrasing to use.

Công dụng, liều lượng và cách dùng thuốc Gentrisone như thế nào?
I don't agree with this "professional self" thing. I think you should bring your whole self to work...but sure, as with everything that should come in moderation. We all go to work to do a job, after all. But maybe the core problem is that we can't just agree to disagree, on some things. We have gotten to the point, as a society, that if you are right of center (in some circles), you're batshit alt-right crazy. And that's honestly just another form of discrimination.

Why can't you talk about politics at work? We spend most of our waking hours at work. There should be basic ground rules for civility and then people should be free to say what they want, without fear that they'll be fired because they donated to some GOP candidate.

That's tolerance, and honestly, that's America. What the hell happened where everyone's trying to bite each other's heads off all the time?
All lives matter argument is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. It's like responding to a "Save the whales" movement, with "all endangered species matter".
A small sample of students taking a survey isn't very convincing evidence.
uppercase vs lowercase is not a readability benefit. For someone reading the code an explicit 'pub' or other operator is much more readable, as in "I understand the implications of what I am reading". Many people can skim over it without realizing the difference of the var name case.
I didn't have a very precise pattern in mind, but yes that would smell about right!
In general I agree with you, but neither pride nor tolerance training is political.

Pride is like St. Paddy's Day or Chinese New Year: it's neither left or right.

Tolerance training isn't political either. If an employer wants their employees to be comfortable at work, it's within their right to train employees to be tolerant of each other. It has nothing to do with politics.

It's strange how gay people just being gay is often seen as a political act -- but that's never the case for straight people.
This thread is a dumpster fire. @dang, maybe it’s time to pull the plug?
Isn't part of the problem that judges face a lot of pressures to be extra harsh when deciding bail?

A board seems less likely to face political blowback when the rare out on bail person commits a serious crime. That sounds like the sort of incident that incentivizes judges to be extra harsh.
