Exactly. If that was a private partner and done with consent, it’s fine, even if I personally would never consider such an arrangement for my own life.

If he’s gotten into a consenting relationship with his subordinates, then that’s kinda skeezy, since one has to wonder how much workplace power dynamics come into play. There’s a damn good reason why HR tends to clamp down on workplace dating, it creates a whole host of issues.

If he was using his power to push that, or springing it suddenly on coworkers and subordinates, then he needs to be blacklisted ASAP.

This article is part of the problem. By pointing out that she does not contribute to "diversity" because of her economic and cultural background, the author reinforces the idea that those are the interesting ingredients of this elusive "diversity." She says nothing about her ideas, interests, or opinions. Does she perhaps add to diversity by having original thoughts? Or are her political opinions and taste in music predictable? I'd say this article is evidence that she may in fact possess some intellectual diversity, but that it is something that she herself does not recognize as such.

Rubin deserves to be punished for sexual harassment....

IF, in fact, he sexually harassed, right?

A) What in the hell was his partner doing reporting to his place of business that she felt like he had compelled her to have sex with him in a hotel room? What does that have to do with work? That smells like using an accusation as a weapon to me.

B) What does "compelled" mean? I had a girlfriend once who was into kink and I wasn't. We did kink all the time and it wasn't fulfilling to me, and once time in particular I was trying very hard to just get her to have sex with me (which I thought was going to be part of the relationship and was just beginning to realize it was not). I kept asking, she kept saying no. Eventually she gave in. After our break-up she cited this as a rape to a friend. Is this rape? Is it even sexual harassment?

There are so few details here it's shameful it's even being reported on.

So what if Google gave a severance to someone who was accused of harassment? It's not even clear, from the details, that he did. Shit, what if they did an internal investigation and determined that he didn't?

What's wrong with people here, acting like this is something we know he did?

Finish one thing before you start the next.

If you cannot do that, have, at most 3 projects at a time.

No matter how small, finish first.

That is the whole secret. If you force yourself to do this, you might even start thinking ahead before you start new stuff. Or you might finish stuff faster because you want to get to the thing you really want and realize how rewarding it was to finish.
This exact snippet could both be part of a SSC (safe, sane and consensual) relationship, or sexual harassment, possibly even sexual exploitation. Which it is, depends on the context; removing or implying context makes it very easy to have one appear as the other.

The right wing culture warrior says that if people got and stayed married they'd be better off. The left wing materialist says that if people were better off they'd be getting married more and staying together longer. Which is more likely: every young person got brain worms at the same time that made them want to not do monogamy/family things, or the stratum of society that has always tried to capture as much of its productivity as possible has made gains in its project?

As to the rest of it: I don't particularly care if the same exact individuals have effected a greater capture of the economic output of this country, I do care that as a whole the top Xtile captures a larger slice. That does, in fact, matter materially to me even though I'm imminently comfortable. I'll leave it to the real stats nerds to punch holes in the math.

While I agree that class components has always felt like a workaround to bypass the limitations of function components, and that it's obviously annoying to rewrite a function component to a class component just to add a state or a lifecycle method, the following explanation sounds a bit silly to me:

> In our observation, classes are the biggest barrier to learning React. You have to understand how this works in JavaScript, which is very different from how it works in most languages. You have to remember to bind the event handlers. Without unstable syntax proposals, the code is very verbose. People can understand props, state, and top-down data flow perfectly well but still struggle with classes. The distinction between function and class components in React and when to use each one leads to disagreements even between experienced React developers.

A framework shouldn't be designed around the fact that people don't know the language they are using, right?

Anyway, those hooks look like a good way to solve the issues listed above. Can't wait to try it out!
I think the ethics depend heavily on when a flaw was discovered.
If this person knew of a flaw when at Apple, and did not disclose it to Apple (his employer), but instead left to go exploit it--that would be clearly unethical and possibly even illegal.
But if they left, and then, as an ex-employee of Apple, discovered a new flaw in Apple's security... how are they any different from a random person who never worked at Apple?

They are still different from the average person on the street. Security is more than just the binary flaw/no flaw distinction. Perhaps while working at Apple the researcher knew about some old libraries that were still in production release but had not been worked on, let alone updated in years? That sort of insider knowledge could help them find exploits the average person wouldn't think of.

GrayKey is a completely unethical company. They are selling unauthorized access to people's devices. The fact that their main clients are law enforcement officers is irrelevant.

I can't believe you'd suggest that Apple is in the wrong for hindering GrayKey's efforts. Am I in the wrong for changing the locks on my door to hinder burglars?

Security flaws are ticking time bombs that threaten all of society. Discovering them and exploiting them rather than helping to fix them is ethically akin to discovering chemical or biological weapons and helping to put them into use.

I get the point the author is making, but I'm not 100% sure I agree with how she expressed it. By limiting the definition of diversity/minority, we can probably identify a cohort for any individual where they are in the majority.

Diversity measured across an entire company or large cohort doesn't really show the value of diversity in the first place. For me, the real power of diversity is at a micro-level. The author would absolutely add diversity to a three person team where one member is an Indian woman born, raised, and educated to PhD in India, another is a Croatian man with no formal education beyond secondary school, and the third person was a poor kid from Detroit that scrapped their way through community college and into the job market.

When I'm putting a team together, I try my hardest to create diversity. That doesn't mean running through a checklist of gender, ethnicity, sexual identification, etc. but it does mean looking for people with different points of view, experience, and ways of solving problems.

tl;dr: Diversity == good, agree gender doesn't necessarily mean diversity, diversity is a meaningless term without context.

Which is to say, that his articles must be taken independently. His opinions on other issues are not discussed, so it's easy to build a strawman about his other opinions.

If i’m not mistaken—using MIT’s OWC as an example—these courses are basically carbon copies of lectures they give their students. The instructors are still teaching on the campus to IRL students. The only difference is that these are then put online for easy access a la open source projects.

The gains have been looted by the healthcare providers. It is not uncommon for health coverage to exceed $2k/mo for a typical family of 4, that's $24k/year. The median US household income is $59k, so the total comp is $83k/year. See the gains now?

This absurd amount is not reflected in a paycheck and one may think "my job pays for it" but that is still your money.

This is interesting. I'll have to spend some time mulling over this before the benefits sink in. It seems like a much more confusing and less composable API than recompose, which is how I add state, lifecycle, and other React class features to functional components. I've been completely avoiding React classes for a while now and using stateless components with recompose for over a year now, and I find it to be a wonderful architecture for component testability and reusability.

For all the times the government does stupid things and we complain about it, this is a step in the correct direction.

I hope that at some point, this exemption will be written into law, and not just an exemption by the LoC. OTOH, if you think of this as the government being able to attempt this as a 'Free Trial' for 3 years, we can show them that this exemption does not have oodles of unintended side effects.

Edit: substantially clarify.
You said (in a much better way) part of what I was trying to say in another post. She reduces herself to bullet points and ignores all of the things that I would consider critical parts of what makes people different. Upon a reread, I think that was her point. Measuring diversity based on a few predefined attributes makes no sense. Creating diversity by hiring someone because they're female isn't the answer, we need to go beyond that to truly have diversity.

Interestingly, I was able to get an amazing speed improvement without going completely to Rust.

I didn't want to port APM code as well, so I kept node.js/express for routing. Very simple middleware that immediately passed the request and body buffer to Rust for handling. Rust returned a buffer back to express for sending the response.

It's easily able to hit 100k RPM on a single instance before hitting a CPU bottleneck in the Rust code (validating an RSA signature). It only needs to handle 90k RPM total.

This is an astoundingly bad comparison if it's missing the point I think it's missing. It's arguing that the average person makes more than their parents by comparing household income. I searched the article a few times for a few keywords trying to make sure I hadn't missed anything, but I see no mention of number of wage earners per household.

All the rest, about "fringe benefits" and the conclusion that everything's not perfect because we still have excessive occupational licensing and minimum wages is just garbage hand-waving.

edit: I re-read it, and the panel data that shows the same income gains per cohort is not clear on how the data was gathered, but the Pew and Brookings data is CLEARLY household data, NOT individual data.

edit2: the Splinter data also appears to be household-level:
http://www.davidsplinter.com/Splinter-Mobility_and_Inequalit...

Splinter mentions "Some reasons for increased household-level income inequality include skill- biased technological change (Acemoglu, 2002), decreased marriage and employment rates (Larrimore, 2014), and the exclusion of employee benefits and government trans- fers from most income definitions (Burkhauser, Larrimore, and Simon, 2012; Auten and Splinter, 2018)."

So, he's discussing how decreased marriage rates might drive down household wages (increasing inequality, particularly among the poorer groups), but a quick command-F is not finding any mention of how the impact of these decreased marriage rates may be counterbalanced (and possibly/likely?) outweighed by increased total number of wage earners per household.

I found that link before asking, and I read SYJMF, but neither actually talk about female coworkers, hence wondering if there was something more than I had missed. I have no intention of defending (or attacking) Feynman, I was merely curious.
Yes, that's absolutely correct, and is actually part of the point I was attempting to make. I grow vegetables and fruits at small-farm scale (1-3 acres in production generally) in a way that I'd call organic if the term wasn't already taken - I don't spray anything at all, and use no concentrates for fertility or weed control. This has the predictable effect of reducing my overall yield in the short term, but I've found that I can still produce well as long as I'm careful to choose crops that are adapted to my region and use high biodiversity insectary plantings and trap crops for pest management. Weeding is done mechanically (usually with a hoe or a wheel hoe, occasionally with the walk-behind tractor for large areas).

I know many organic farmers who follow practices similar to mine as well. The organic name is really more of an indicator of intent for a lot of people - you can get away with a lot of things and still be certified, but most of the growers I know actually do make a strong effort to find another way. So, the organic label does actually carry some weight with me despite the fact that it can be abused.
Yeah, sounds very narrow. Basically you can take things apart for repair, but not to turn them into something else, or modify them for interoperability.

But it does create a gray market for the information obtained by people who legally break DRM for "repair and maintenance." Information set free can be used for anything, wink wink.
