Well, I won't disagree on the 24 hours in a row thing. However, in a slightly different format, I would really welcome this kind of thing. Say 3 days where you get to build something -- anything -- with or without your teammates.

Quite a lot of people have never actually built anything from scratch in their life. And while 3 work days is not much time, that's really the point. You have to make decisions quickly, which allows you to see your mistakes -- quickly. Quite frequently when you're on a team (especially in a large corporation), you never hear anybody say, "Hey, let's try it and see what happens".

Again, I'm all with you on controlled development and I have a reputation for being extremely stringent on trying to reduce risk. But that's exactly why you need to let your hair down sometimes and experience what happens when you don't do that. Developers who follow "rules" without knowing why they exist become poor developers.

And... occasionally, that 24 hours of work you do turns out to be interesting for more than 24 hours. You fix up the initial problems, or even start it again from scratch. It's not like you've invested that much. But for me, it's usually fine to retire my projects after I've learned what I wanted to learn.

And, yes, I write code in my own time for exactly this reason. But, I'd be ecstatic if my employer was happy to pay for my learning (actually, the current one does give me some time for that kind of thing... though I tend to continue to just pay for it myself... weird...)
@imgabe: Why would you suggest that Denmark's model can't be scaled up to US size? Or even take Germany's model, and you'll start off from a platform some 15x the size of Denmark.

It makes no sense at all.
If they show that screen in Norway they will have to be able to prove that it is faster and safer than the others. If not it's misleading marketing according to the law.

They can say "one of the safest and fastest" browser though.

We've had a number of cases like this over the years where a company makes a statement like "the best pizza in town" and they can't prove it and have to change the text.
Is there a list with EU MPs and how they voted on this issue? I want to consider it when voting in the next EU Parliament election.
In proper terms, perhaps, but things like Trump, Brexit, and strongly anti-immigrant, populist conservative, leaders like Salvini, Orban, etc., in Europe, are all generally placed in the same camp by the media.

Ultimately we are discussing the visible rage and despisement towards the winnning side of a national US election vote. That is incredibly concerning coming from a company as powerful as Google, and we know the same sentiment is shared across Hollywood and the mass media.

> Which leads me to wonder if there are any societal changes we could make in order to nudge salaries to reflect when a job is mentally abusive. Similar to how pay typically reflects when a job is physically abusive.

A basic income would work here. If people aren't forced to take a job out of economic necessity then unpleasant jobs will need to pay more to attract people to do them.
To be blunt, I don't think you'll find what you're looking for without thinking a bit more about why you feel this way.

What's the problem with your current situation? Is it that your salary is too low? Lack of interesting opportunities? Small development community?

The US tech industry is interesting for a number of reasons, but it's not without it's problems. There are way more companies, higher salaries and more innovation generally. But working conditions can be worse, even at large employers. Housing can be expensive. Healthcare!

There are lots of places in EU countries that are doing interesting things in tech. They don't have quite the same glitz and glamour of FAANG, but you might find something that makes you happy closer to home.

(Disclaimer: I personally am planning to move to the US, but only because my fiancé is a citizen and his family is there. But even having that easy path through immigration does not make the conclusion at all obvious.)

Excel has the nasty idea to modify what you type in the cell. If it seems date-like or number-like, it will convert the content, possibly corrupting interesting details in the process.

You can of course counteract this with a quote or with formatting, but you have to remember to do this consistently.

I understand why they do it for a spread sheet: It is optimized for calculating. But this tendency makes excel untrustworthy for general processing.

One of the reasons the 18th century scientific revolution was so fruitful in europe was the culture of sharing, publishing & debating across a large, catchment area. Instead of esoteric knowledge of mysterious origin, 18th century science produced de-mystified knowledge.

This culture crossed language barriers, borders and such. Common cultural "hero's" of a scientific community (Newton, Copernicus..) helped a lot in developing this culture.

One of the (related) reasons for US science/technology success in the 20th century was making that "empire of the mind" physical, in places like MIT. The wide catchment was achieved through migration. This was very obvious in the post war period, when scientists and technologists from everywhere came to these places.

The Soviets also made use of their expanded talent catchment areas, and had some pretty impressive innovations at that time.

China is now learning the power of inward migration. They are starting to open up and subsidize international students. I think political goals (eg Taiwanese students in China smoothing the path to unification) where the catalyst, but internationalizing the institutions themselves will be an inevitable side effect.
I really don't get the problem here. Google's intentions for Inbox were always clear in that it was an experiment to see where mail could be headed and where they could try things that may find their way into Gmail. That's what they have done. Lots of features are now in Gmail. Now Inbox is being put to rest with about half a year of a retirement announcement in advance.
you, uh, got any more of them philosopher.life sites? H0p3's wiki combines three of my favourites things: function over form art, Jungian reasoning and the (true) hacker ethos of unbounded individual exploration. I've always wanted to be a part of a community following those ideals or the underlying unifier between them (cicada 3301 exemplified this mentality too; lesswrong seems interesting but I get the impression of it being "too" rational to the point of being detached) but I have no idea where to find them (or even what to look for).

Ok, Google. What have I done?
You guys know me. I've been here since the board opened almost.

I go through spells of blogging a lot, then nothing, then another binge.

I used to be interested in content marketing, but that was years ago. It was a complete waste of time.

I've always been interested in programming, startups, philosophy, history, tech, etc.

I'm trying to post this link on the G+ Agile forum. I have been a member in good standing in the forum for years. I know the moderators. People like my content. I engage with folks.

Google won't let me post it. It keeps telling me it's spam.

http://tiny-giant-books.com/blog/information-accounting-budget-your-code/

I've taken any kind of pop-ops off the blog. I've removed any tool or add-on that might offend folks. I spend a lot of time trying to create content to share with people.

But this is spam? What the fuck, Google? Who do I go complain to? The wall? I don't even know what I've done, much less how to stop doing it.

This BigTech gatekeeper situation is insane. People have to go on HN begging for attention so that somebody at Google will do their freaking job?

Everyone thinks thier language hard, with strict rules and pronuciation. Those who teach english, or any language, always focus on rules. In reality, rules matter little to anyone outside classrooms. The ESL students in my class always pointed out my "mistakes", only for me to point out the same techniques being used by the great speakers and writers of history. During years of learning english nobody told them that if you speak well enough, you can do as you wish with rules.
Well I'll start by saying I'm a bit biased. I've worked for a media agency where it had some of the world retail behemoths accounts. I was a digital media strategist on a specific market - though some of the stuff we did was indeed by global guidelines, so we had visibility on what was being done at a global level, still my bias is towards the reality of the market I was in.

I've dealt with their management and executives (brand managers, marketing managers, etc) and even by their criteria of HR choices, and it's pretty clear what kind of people they want: they want smart, orderly people who can execute well.

Some they get them from specific business universities early - people above average - and enroll them on some internal college for some time.

They are not very creative and innovative, even if they were they will dry out because they don't have margin for it - and maybe that's part of their success: they need to have a multinational oiled machine that outputs results.

Even the product launches came either by market alignment, or simply from an internal catalog.

Most of their insights came from internal dashboards fueled by Nielsen, GFK, Kantar (amazing sources by the way), and many private studies.

The thing is, they got to where they are because they had the Mass Media(Communication) and Distribution upper hand for years. TV, the king for many years, was the most effective way to get to the masses but it was extremely expensive - yet they had the financial muscle so they just had to pump GRPs.

Same goes for Retail Distribution, they built good distribution channels/partnerships - people wanted their products, they had emotional relationships with their brands.

But times change... first it started with retailers creating their own brands (distribution brands) because they built the financial muscle to advertise them, and had the distribution channels, they just had cut down margins to win in price and win the volume game...

Now it's the internet - people who know what their doing can reach a specific audience, deliver great messages, build amazing brands, and have great distribution channels - such as Amazon.

It's a loud market, and they mumble terms, jargon's and keywords they don't fully understand. They have historial brands, with amazing value, yet they are not connecting with people like some of these brands are doing.

Maybe they are so big they don't even notice it in their market shares, but some of these numbers aren't even known in their holy reports... and it chips off, day by day. They are also too proud to assume their are not doing a good job - they rather blame agencies and create pitches instead of taking accountability.

I've quit the agency job because my goal was to learn from with their mistakes and successes - and I believe it's quite doable to out-pace them, since they are extremely slow. I'm working on that right now.

In my opinion they need to employ entrepreneur minded people and give them the opportunity to fail.

It's a weird-amazing time to be alive as a marketer :)
As others mention below, Germany and other countries end up with about the same percentage of college graduates as the US. So what is the advantage of switching to a different model if it produces the same result? It doesn't mean any additional people would be able to go to college.
This is a generic. From the article:

> Mulye also noted that rival pharmaceutical company Casper Pharma raised the price of its brand-name version of nitrofurantoin, called Furadantin. Casper hiked the price by 182 percent over three years—between 2015 and 2018—bringing a bottle’s list price to $2,800.

There’s no ethical issue at all. It’s a purely a business issue of whether the market is worth competing in as a new supplier.

Just two things. First, any hatred directed any group regardless of size is simply not acceptable in a free, modern society as it would undermine democratic principles.

Second, in a free and modern society it is ok to have diametrical oppossed views to any other Group. Which is an integral part of Democracy.

Funny enough, there are always people, mostly with pretty radical views, that are severly infuriated by contrarian views. The other way round it is just fine.

Trump's stance is anti illegal immigrant which should not affect any Google execs.

Re: approval ratings, its a moot point. Trump has enjoyed generally similar approval ratings to Obama (at most single digit percentage points lower) and ultimately won a free and fair election in a first world Republic.

Having the leaders of a global monopoly megacorporation display this kind of disdain for the elected leader of the country and everyone who supports him, and (by implication) similar populist leaders across Europe (and their supporters), is extremely, deeply, disconcerting.

>Sometimes something even simpler than the “I used to think so too but now I know better” criterion can be used to unmask bunk; if there’s a good story and one that’s disappointingly banal, usually the latter is the one that’s unfortunately true.

A problem with this is that there are now increasingly more people who automatically opt for the "disappointingly banal" story even in cases when the good story is the actually true one (and insist on it) -- because it enables them to take pride in "debunking" and feel superior to others.

In other words, where once most people went for the "good story" for psychological reasons (because it's more satisfying, makes for interesting talk, etc), now, with the raise of sites like Snopes, "fact-checking" forums, sceptic sites, and so on, there's an increasing equally bogus motive for preferring the banal story.

(And this is orthogonal to Occam's razor. For one, because the banal and the interesting story might be of equal simplicity and with equally few prerequisites. Beside's Occam's razor is just an observation, not an absolute law: sometimes the more elaborate course is indeed what happened).
Hmm. It seems clear that where you start from plays a role. At the same time, it seems obvious that Latin grammar (3 genders, 6 cases, 4 verb conjugations, 5 noun declensions, multiple moods etc) is more complex than Italian... or am I wrong?

Trains and buses do have their flaws.

Both have a defined start and end time, and place that they pick up and drop off. Additionally both don't have the best coverage, especially outside of large cities, and then not all of them either. Also Trains can be more expensive than driving.

Completely agree with you about the reasons to buy a motorbike. I'm not convinced that people would pay for this. I would certainly be concerned if I was on a bike that started to do stuff without me. Riding a motorbike is more interactive than driving a car.

I could see them displaying more info for a rider, maybe some sort of HUD in the helmet. Like, a red light to a side that a vehicle is on as a warning not to overtake. Though I'm not convinced this would be better than just being aware of your surroundings.
