More marketable to who, employers? Are they more marketable because people with those skills are younger and earlier in their careers, so can be paid less? That sounds potentially circular and I would need to hear more to come to agreement.

You're also not giving me much to go on here. I've had to infer 90% of what I think you meant. I think there's a solid argument that older skills are battle-hardened and therefore better for productivity and maintainability. I'm not going to try to make it though, because I'm on the treadmill focused on acquiring newer skills, and therefore would be arguing against my own self-interest. (Eg. why do we need to know capistrano if we have kubernetes?)

But maybe those older skills are not so much maintainable, if all the newer employees on the block are discouraged from acquiring those skills based on the treadmill. You see why I'm not so sure about this treadmill business? I already learned a bunch of skills that I'm afraid we won't use, because they are already asking for newer ones (serverless!) Maybe my employer would be better served by asking me to spend some time to learn Capistrano, if they're not going to let me use Kubernetes skills I went off and acquired on my own. (Let's make this real, I'm using a real example from my own life. I don't have to be convinced that Kubernetes is more valuable, but I do have yet to prove it in the context of my real job, where our deployments all still run on Capistrano not K8s.)

My situation is likely a bit unique and I don't think my employer engages in age discrimination in any way but we have to capitalize on these newer skills to give them value. An abstract sense of "having skills with high marketability" does not deliver any value to the employer (or employee) unless they are capitalized somehow.

In any case, we're arguing about nothing, because

we don't have any numbers on how many of these canned IBM employees actually did this and got canned anyway. Its relevance as a factor is questionable, if the employees with advanced age are simply more well compensated like you said that has also made them a bigger target. They may have kept their skills current and been terminated anyway. This is a 100% speculative argument.

This I think, is the truth of it. Reddit is becoming a lower and lower quality platform, providing less value to users. However each of these moves reduce the barrier to entry (thus increasing user base) or provide value to those who pay them. Often both.

Reddit as a business does not want to be a discussion platform.

In my opinion it will succeed, but it does so whilst providing mixed value to me, it has destroyed many small communities by amalgamation and then normalising them.

Subreddits related to my core interests are useless. Overrun by an endless stream of amateurs and the lack of a consistent user base makes it draining to use and fails to reward involvement at a high skill level (where you need to make repeated connections with others at a high skill level and break the norm).

However subreddits related to passing interests are brilliant, the provision of novice level instruction is very common and normally of high quality (due to catering to a constant stream of newcomers and a tendency towards the norm).

Reddit is group think.
It's the exact opposite. I can't understand the amount of people who have elementary problems comprehending which way the clock changes "geographically" speaking, and what it means in practise.
Looks great, I love the demo of using it for building email newsletters. Perhaps that could be a nice use to target in your marketing, maybe even integrate with some other email tools (i.e. Litmus).
(Based on the transcript, thanks for providing that, I don't have time for videos)

The summary would seem to be that the first generation of developers built a monolith. A reasonably well scaling monolith, but only up to a point. Newer developers fear the blob and prefer Node to Python, so new development has been done in a cluster of menhirs of node around the python monolith.

The monolith suffered from lock contention because it was inadequately sharded across subreddits. They have now addressed this.

I also think this amazing! On the discussion as to what dollars should be spent on (tax dollars or private) I recommend listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson who explains in simple and very well [0]. It's mind blowing when you think about it really. Such a small fraction of all money in the world and it often leads to great solutions which we take for granted every day now.

I'm really excited about seeing this succeed and what might come out of it. How will our world look 10 years from now.

Reasons for hair loss in women 2018
Using salary/seniority as a filter for layoffs is fraught with peril, because of disparate impact and the high correlation with age. This is even more true when things like stock or options given as rewards for past performance are involved. You have yet to provide a shred of evidence to the contrary. Maybe you should try, instead of citing cases that prove the opposite of what you claim or going off on tangents to support a thinly veiled "do you know" ad hominem. Do you know about the concept of using proxies for a proscribed criterion, and how the courts have treated it?

That is just how the Internet works. Everyone is selling and buying access to networks. Whether directly or in the form of agreements. And most people are of course trying to get more for less. One could certainly wish that things would be different, but it isn't like they are doing something especially nefarious.
I've always find the idea that subreddits are communities laughable. I know communities are some kind of brand and advertiser wet dream but it's just not working. I'm not part of the Apple community if I like their page on Facebook.

At best reddit is a food court. So of course the same person will post in many different subreddits, that's the entire point on the site.

Is there any source about women being so shocked that they leave reddit? They don't seem so scared on TwoXChromosomes or Gonewild.

Imgur is also a mainstream site and in the comments women are as thirsty as men.

Politically, this has always been a tricky domestic issue, because different countries within the U.K. are affected differently by, and have different political opinions on, daylight savings time. Effectively, changes to the status quo are blocked by differing interests.

Legally, it is almost comical.

The Act of Parliament defining daylight savings time has a significantly different mechanism to how daylight savings time has operated in harmony with the E.U. for the past several decades. It allowed for double daylight savings time, ran over a different part of the year, and had to deal with Easter.

It was modified by an Order in Council in 2002, which removed double daylight savings time and changed the rules for the start and end. This was not the first time that the 1972 Summer Time Act had been modified by statutory instrument for harmonization with the E.U., either.

But that Order in Council was done by the Queen under the authority of the European Communities Act 1972, which is repealed by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. That, in turn, classes the Order in Council as "EU-derived domestic legislation". It retains it, but abolishes the Act that authorizes such orders. Adding to the comedy, the 2002 Order in Council also abolished the original authority to issue statutory instruments that was in the 1972 Summer Time Act itself.

So a different new mechanism has to be created to authorize further orders in council if the 1972 Summer Time Act is to be altered with another statutory instrument. There apparently isn't one in the E.U. Withdrawal Act 2018, by my reading, as "EU-derived domestic legislation" is not covered by the infamous so-called "Henry 8" provisions for dealing with "direct EU legislation". Otherwise and more likely, a full Act of Parliament has to be made to replace the (modified) 1972 Summer Time Act.

However, now look to history. There have been numerous attempts at this over the years, some fairly recent. They have got nowhere. The upshot of the legal tangle and the political will that effectively blocks changing the status quo is thus very likely that the U.K. will keep to the old E.U. rules after the E.U. itself abandons them. This is highly ironic for Brexit.

If I were to design reddit I would have enforced the following rule to handle their scaling problems. You cannot touch the database when you are reading the homepage. Instead every minute we generate the canonical list of ~500 links that is "reddit". Cache the html for that and throw it on a CDN. The "next" and "previous" timestamped links should reference when it was first loaded so you can continue paging and avoid the duplicate link problem. You can cheat for logged in users by loading in their data after page load with JS, but the site would never fail entirely if it were overloaded. Votes should never affect another record, they should always create a new record in your datastore to avoid locking problems.
I am not at all convinced that improvisation is an easy add-on. While AI has demonstrated some creative ways to satisfy goals that have left options open (sometimes inadvertently), real-world improvisation has to be appropriate for the situation and the unusual difficulties it poses, and, in the case of driving, it must not create additional problems or (of particular relevance here) present significant dangers.

In general, I think, improvisation requires causal reasoning. It also often needs a broader knowledge than that needed for the nominal task (for example, when driving on a potholed road, one needs to have some understanding of how it affects the car's response, and sometimes of issues such as ground clearance.) Constraining the vehicle to avoid such issues would constrain the option to improvise.
I worded that poorly. I mean filter bubbles are the right idea, but don't go far enough. A site should should hold specific enough values that its users can debate each other in good faith, and so that admins can stamp out (what they consider to be) toxic behavior without shocking half their users.

I'm not saying Naples is the least safe city in the EU, or in western Europe, by all means, but it does have a reputation for being 1) unsafe for tourists due to petty crimes like pickpocketing and 2) being run by the mafia.

This reputation might be undeserved, at least as far as technologists and startups are concerned, but it is still something that would influence my decision on whether I'd move there or not. Other tech hubs in Europe, such as Berlin and Amsterdam, does not have that kind of reputation.

Small nitpick. The range resolution improves with increasing pulse/chirp/waveform bandwidth, not increasing carrier frequency. It's true that at higher carrier frequencies there is more bandwidth available and thus better range resolution is possible but the relationship is slightly different than "delta_r ~ frequency"

The problem is usually more with unprotected left turns at stop signs [or pulling out of driveways]--not traffic lights. (Though traffic lights can be an even bigger issue if there's no left turn arrow--leading to people making turns when the light has either just turned red or it's just turned green and the oncoming traffic technically has priority.)

That way the new mild users who don't know the old design start invading the site and the day they delete old.reddit they'll only lose a minority of users.

A contract is an agreement, not a piece of paper. If you all agreed that he would represent you, than he was bound to do so, no matter what got written down.

That, at least, is the theory. There are of course many, many steps between a theoretical case and successful claim. And it's certainly easier to win a case if you have a written contract as evidence --- though 20 people's testimony is pretty strong evidence, too.

I am not (quite) a lawyer, and certainly not in your country. But it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong: it sounds like fraud.

Setting aside the fact that public opinion is already changing in the US and several states are already voting to do away with DST, do you really think it’s fair to criticize the US for being one of the few countries using an “obsolete” custom when the EU hasn’t even made the transition yet?

There are plenty of valid reasons to criticize the US but this isn’t one of them. And the mere fact that you would read an article about the EU and your mind immediately jumps to what the US will do almost lends credence to the idea that the US is indeed exceptional.

"The article is not about congestion control but rather marketing choices where one streaming service is favored over the other within the captured market of an ISP customers."

I wonder if that's true, or this is simply a result of the peering agreements that content providers have engaged in since forever.

For those who don't know: if Netflix is colocated in the same datacenter(s) as CSPire, it's possible to "throw an ethernet cable over the cage wall" and make a direct connection to CSPire. This results in dramatically better bandwidth and latency, but requires significant up-front costs (it's also not possible for every provider to peer with every distributor, for logistical reasons).

As much as I believe in the concept of net neutrality, I feel like the conversation misses many of the technical nuances of the way the internet actually works. Peering is one example: you can have an entirely "neutral" internet, but still observe dramatic differences between one provider and another, based on your network location.

(Edit: now that I've read TFA, it's pretty clear that they're not talking about favoring providers, but rather, throttling entire classes of traffic. Which is a different discussion.)

I agree, I'm troubled by the notion of not coding at all. However I think you need to separate "coding as part of the work effort to achieve tasks of the team" and "coding to keep you on top of the technical aspects of leadership". I actually think the latter is pretty essential, while it's a mistake if you are doing coding that is irreplaceable within the team. (I'm currently making that mistake, but that's another story).

You spoke my mind. I am in a complete dilemma as to what to devote my personal time on. On the one hand I want to get familiar with Android AOSP so that I can get into companies which require board bring up for Android devices. On the other hand I would want to get my algorithmic skills up by doing a lot of coding competitions.

It is very hard to master both. Time is limited and both the topics are enormous. It is extremely difficult to select a subject to master in the hopes of it having a value in the future. It is similar to selecting something which you think will earn a huge value later such as stocks or startups for that matter.

I'm in a somewhat different field, but I had this experience a couple of times when I was younger-ish and didn't feel good about it. I don't think it raised my productivity

It may have been a good management move -- mitigating a high-stakes delivery risk by literally keeping an eye close, i.e. sitting next to me at my desk, but it felt more like panicky micromanagement (lasting for two or three days only, thankfully) than sharing the burden of an unplanned delivery.

(Unplanned delivery requests sometimes happen in my field. But what we do isn't as bottom-up as programming; it's more like a progressive GIF, iterative refinement from high level concept down to action plan, so unexpected intermediate deliveries can be good for the client.)
Where's the added coupling? Before you'd have two accessors returning their own type, one of them nullable. Now you have one method that doesn't return. That interface is also agnostic of how customers can be reached: If we add sendByPigeon() the Customer interface won't see change.

The customer object is in a good position to decide how the customer should be reached.
That’s poor oversight by any CEO, big corp or not. In my view, the biggest asset is you guys, the engineers. Without you, there’s no product - should’ve focused more on landing prospects and contracts and getting them to define features rather than blindly come up with a go-to-market strategy.
