Add to this that in the context of Android and Andy Rubin it may be the case that Google paid him $90M because it pretty much owed him $90M no matter what.

This may reflect poorly on Google's competency in negotiating in the past and their willingness to accept blame for poor negotiation.

But, yeah, Google pretending that Andy Rubin left a hero is Google pretending they are (still, if ever) a hero too

This isn't rocket science. If you fancy someone, you ask him/her on a date, a simple neutral stuff, like a movie. If the other party refuses, that's it. If the other party is a subordinate you just don't.

You don't invite them to Burning man, you don't have business meetings in your house late at night, you don't tell someone your his slave, you don't offer to swing with your wife (from a different post I read), seriously.
Looking around the room, I don't see any bridges or chalkboards or courtroom paraphernalia. I see a personal computer. How exactly do you think the machine you're typing on was built?!

Do you want to go back to the 1970s? Because this is how you get back to the 1970s, when only a rarefied priesthood had access to computing power.

Don't expect to accomplish that without encountering strong opposition.
The last part is definitely the right point to make. To me there's no argument that taken in a vacuum, there is no country in the world where you'll be better off as a software developer than in one of the big tech centers in the US (not just SF, but NY, Boston, whatever. There's a bunch).

But it comes at the cost of...well, everyone else.
Russ' political views have been drifting steadily right over time so the data that he cherry picks regarding inflation, total household income, income inequality, is not surprising. I used to listen to his podcast pretty frequently to get a different perspective on econ but now it's pretty painful due to his increasing inability to see outside his own bubble.
In the keynote, Dan talked about how this works. It depends on the order that useState is called, which makes conditional branches a no-no (there's a linter for it).
I'm not saying men and women shouldn't work together, but isn't office drama related to sexual tension something to subtract from that complementarity as well?

In my working life I've seen (and also experienced) a lot of productivity-eating unresolved sexual tension, including between people who were married/had partners and didn't reeeally want to mate, at least not rationally.

I mean, I know men behave like pigs at Hackatons and I'm all for codes of conduct but even in better conditions (no one's an incel, yadda yadda) this happens.
If you spend time in casinos you notice the counting money differences.

There are also occupational differences, and differences in how wallets are used, back pocket vs front pocket vs top pocket, if money is taken out of a wallet or counted inside the wallet, if money clips are used, if the money is folded etc.

I sat at a poker table once with a guy who could swear he could spot drug dealers and money launderers by the way they fold and count their money by counting the roll out and also throw money vs placing it when putting it on the table
I would expect tunneling to take the place of printing buildings, for a couple of reasons. First, you can process the tunnel machine tailings for resources like water ice, which you can then use for air and fuel and biology. Second, you can live in the tunnels, which would give you as many meters of regolith as radiation shielding as you wanted. And, interesting side fact, the Boring Company TBM will fit inside a BFR.

This is marketed as a proposal and a RFC, but it's already in React v16.7.0-alpha.

If it turns out to be a bad idea (hypothetically speaking, I haven't read the article yet so I don't know), will it be backed out?

Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be versioned as an experimental fork/branch instead?
I really don't understand the focus on generations. Why don't we just use labels for age groups instead of birth year ranges? Most of the behaviors of a given "generation" change as they age, so it's not very helpful IMO for much of anything.

I also agree that it doesn't really matter what age group the people are in, especially for this article.

It's the most obvious cliché people can (and invariably do) bring into such a discussion. Anything so predictable has zero curiosity in it and therefore is off topic on HN. See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Your statement implies Melinda Gates as sexually assaulted at work by Bill, which is wrong.

sigh It implies no such thing except under the most uncharitable of interpretations. Here, I'll spell it out: one exception with a positive outcome does not offset the millions of women who have been harassed by their boss. IOW, "hey, baby, we could be the next Billinda!", just no.

I feel like Redux was a clusterfuck mess and this is the cleanup. Excuse the language.

Edit:

Expanding on this and why (I think) this solution is cleaner:

* In redux you ended up with pointless constant piles of strings that are the named actions. Totally useless in a JS world where a function that IS an action can take up that mantle.

* While reducers are a good way to make state consistent, using redux for state management when you actually don't have 17 different producers and 1 consumer it's major overkill. Most of the time you actually have 1 or 2 event (and value changing) producers and MANY consumers on the screen at one time.

* When you DO need a reducer, instead of making that the norm, this new hook library does provide a useReducer function that works exactly like that- and guess what? NO STRING CONSTANTS YAY.

I think the only downside I can think of is TTDebugging might be complicated to create under this dome, but was the same issue for stateful classes. That being said, it might be more possible now that the control is placed in a single feature area.

The ones I can think of:

* They have more money to spend on lawyers.

* They expected windfall from the lawsuit is higher, so law firms would be more inclined to accept the case and spend more resources on it.

* At lower levels, people are given boilerplate contracts written by company lawyers and told to take it or leave it. Apart from things like remuneration, nothing is up for negotiation. These contracts often heavily favour the company and make lawsuits difficult. At higher levels, contracts are genuinely negotiated between the lawyers for both sides.

* It is unlikely that a director could create or move to another company and start successfully poaching their former colleagues. A VP or higher level executive probably could.
In other words, regression to the mean. Of course the poorest people are more likely to gain in income -- when you start at the bottom, there's really only one direction you can go.

You can still have regression to the mean among individuals while society itself is becoming horrifyingly unequal.

How to Market Effectively
These ICO-funded research projects are turning into the next Xerox Parc, IBM Research etc. I doubt they will ever ship something practical directly, or that the investing public will ever get their money back, but they are spending the money by hiring great engineers and researchers and giving them free rein to have fun with no budget restrictions. I suspect that will result in fundamental advances that will benefit us in the long term, like Darpanet eventually gave us the Internet.

I want to believe that something good will come of this, beyond incinerating cash building products nobody actually wants to use. (Yes, I’m saying that Golem as described is impractical and naive, and giving it so much funding so early makes it even harder for them to learn hard lessons and succeed as a product).

In a way, they found a way to trick us into paying more taxes to subsidize public research and development! You’ve got to respect that.
This is pretty silly. We're not talking about Bill and Melinda Gates. We're talking about the David Drummond and Jennifer Blakely Foundation, which lasted a couple years, and resulted in Jennifer Blakely --- Drummond's subordinate --- losing her job along with the relationship.
So something they briefly touch on is new research chemicals. What they don't mention is what happened earlier this year.

FOSTA has slaughtered many avenues of sourcing research chemicals. It is significantly more difficult to get them from a reliable source then it was this time last year. While this doesn't stop anyone sufficiently determined, it's harder to get a source of say fentanyl or U-47770 to cut with.

The US has been cracking down on producers of these in China, and many chinese or US based resellers have either ceased to exist or changed their operation (US seems to be heavily targeting opioids, China seems to be going after ketamine and analogs) . In addition the Darknet Markets have taken a big hit from Operation Bayonet. It's not to say that DNMs or their vendors or customers are gone, just they're finding it harder to regroup. Though there have been a number of high profile busts from the data of Operation Bayonet

This applies to more then just opioids though. Other drugs with overdose potential, like stimulants are just harder to get a hold of. Most US domestic sellers seem to focus on benzodiazepine analogs.

We'll see how long this lasts though, I doubt that whole scene is truly gone but it might just be in hibernation for a bit.
Biases and most negative behaviors are not built in[1], they are part of experiential memory and hence learnt(and can be erased[0]). Racial profiling, gender roles and biases in general are established when we are young(or at least open to change) and subjected to norms and stereotypical behavior[2][3]. Women did not magically drop out of Software professions in the 80s it's because WE handed the young boy a PC and the girl a doll[4].

Why is our reaction so visceral to some forms of biases and negative behaviors and not others? It is because we SEE, FEEL and READ about the damage on a daily basis to real people and then, eventually, envision and bring laws into existence that punish such behavior.

Eventually sexual exploitation will be seen on a level field with denying the right to vote based on caste or employment based on color of the skin. But it will be permanent only if the good people in power do something, until then we have The Times and WAPO to tell these stories.

I think you're missing the point of the article.

When you actually follow the same people, the poor see the greater increase in income than the most wealthy. You may poo-poo a $30K inflation-adjusted increase in pay, but that moves someone from the lower class to the middle class.

Isn't that the goal?
Yeah that's kind of weird... I'm reminded of Romney's "notebook full of women", but at least I don't think the contents were made public?
I'm not equating GMOs and poison. I'm equating pesticides and poison. A plant that doesn't need pesticides is just a plant that produces them internally.

And in fact, the effort to breed naturally pest-resistant crops keeps running into the problem that pest-resistant crops are also human-resistant. It's all the same thing from the plant's perspective.
It seems obvious that adding 1000s of women like her would absolutely meaningfully change the company though
The author of this article is a Jew.
I'm not conflating. I'm providing an example of a GMO that's still requires a pesticide. I'd like a counterexample of a GMO that actually REDUCES/ELIMINATES pesticide usage, as the parent claimed that GMOs do.

In theory, GMOs don't need pesticides. I'm asking about practice. Most other comments support my skepticism.

This is really a partial accounting of the risk. Don't forget to include the risk of reporters finding out about this whole arrangement and doing further damage to an already tarnished company and industry.

But risk assessment is really besides the point anyway. It's not difficult to see the correct course of action here and that Google as a company failed to take it.
You're digging yourself a hole by once again presuming that people who are involved in office romances are mostly likely to be in situations of sexual coercion.

This is not remotely the case.

Most office romances are just two people dating - and that's it.

It's the possibility that something might go awry that's problematic, not the situation itself.

Gates is not 'one example' - it's the norm.

Wherever you work, there are surely people dating/married to one another, it's almost normative.

Random bit of dw love: I use this software* every day and am quite pleased at its looks. I was introduced to it by a company that used it as the IT wiki for all 17 properties located around the USA and international properties.

It's lacking insofar as political opinion is restricted to "should the poors starve" and "is the female intellect inherently inferior"; but when it comes to things like engaging with problematic regimes, capitalist/socialist choices, and bottom up/top down solutions, there's quite a diversity
The article said this has already been the case for commercial farm equipment since 2015.
Conversely maybe it’s easier to rise into the ranks of rich/powerful/famous if you view people as objects to be played with. If you’re not being restrained by anything like a conscience, it’s probably a lot easier to fight the kind of dirty battles needed to reach those heights without burning out or turning to drugs to soothe a battery sense of self.
If anyone has any questions on this (in a broad sense), feel free AMA in reply to this comment as I may be able to answer some of them.
From past podcasts he doesn't see the problem with having two people working to get that gain while ignoring the individual stagnating/declining worker pay. That stance is not logical to me, but it seems to fit his view on the world.

We sort of are. My company does anti-spam and email security for over half the fortune 500 with 3000+ employees. We use FOSS everywhere. We contribute absolutely nothing back afaict.

We are trying to recruit people who use these open source tools/languages and literally no one has ever heard of us. Forget college graduates -- I've been to an industry conference which I think we create, and even there, the majority of people have never heard of us, which is imho an accomplishment.
They also observed that we pee pretty much all the mercury we ingest, but that methyl-mercury is the one we absorb, accumulate, and that is highly toxic.
If you look at that first report of increased family income, also in the referenced Pew report it says 59% of sons make as much or more then their fathers, which means 41% are doing worse. So 4 of every 10 sons does worse than his father in this time of economic growth.

Two more factors come into play. US working class stagnation started in the early 1970s and got going in the 1980s. The study starts in 1968, which means some of the growth pointed to for the children is actually what is kept from late 1960s and early 1970s growth, not now. If the study had started five years later, the results would look worse.

Also the politically influenced Boskin commission revised historical inflation estimates in the mid 1990s, also making things look rosier. If you believe, as I do, that inflation estimates were correct in 1996 and that Boskin was wrong, then things look bleaker in that light as well.

Although 4 in 10 sons doing worse than their fathers (from the Pew report he cites) is bleak enough.
Includes an explanation of exclusion constraints. These let you enforce things like "no overlapping reservations of the same property" without race conditions, similar to a unique constraint.

> In our observation, classes are the biggest barrier to learning React.

As someone who struggled hard with some aspects of learning react, i felt this to be the absolute opposite. Watching people to combine and spread logic over dozens of functional components, and drag in other external libraries like recompose to do stuff like lifecycle hooks, and using HoC's, just to avoid classes makes my head hurt.

> Only call Hooks at the top level. Don’t call Hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.

I really don't like this, and to me this feels really finicky, and unfortunately the explanation doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy ether. While it is great they are adding a linter plugin for it, i feel like this is going to be really easy to shoot yourself in the foot, and feels like it is relying on behind the scenes magic too much.
Why are you rendering your desktop through a compute GPU? Connect screens to the Intel HD outputs.

Refusing to support nvidia accomplishes that their shitty approach will die. They will then have to pick between either dropping linux support (which they don't want exactly due to ML and stuff), or having to do shit right.

IIRC, gnome is also dropping eglstream support (nvidia crap), leaving nothing supporting it.
This is quite horrifying. I am not sure if the elevator ride will be the same again for me.

Not to mention the fact that her family and friends say she was extremely traumatized by the ex-cop who pointed a gun at her head and made her perform oral sex.

1. It was an ex-cop who put her in this mentally disturbed situation
2. The cops then "allegedly" retaliated by setting up a sting operation on only her (when she reported the crime)
3. The cops were ineffective at apprehending her, leading her to make the non-premeditated decision to kill herself
Just one question, why?

Google is a company that has explicitly stated its ethics over and over and over. Obviously they have been under fire for the rumors regard a censored Chinese site, and their AI contracting with the government, but firing high level executives who have been investigated and found liable for sexual harassment COMPLETELY aligns with the values that they state to the rest of the world. No one would've batted an eye if they said: "Hey, we're firing Andy because of these claims that we investigated and found credible, and he's not getting a dime because he violated his contract".

Now, due to the cover-up this looks awful. I just don't understand it. Intel's CEO was let go after an extra-marital affair was uncovered and there was very little controversy around it.

Termination at will doesn't cover things that violates people's rights, and a whole host of other things.

You can't fire someone because they are black, or gay, or Mormon, or get sick - and probably not because they fall in love with each other either.
I agree that at this point everything is computational. And you are right that consumers are winning big time. I'm pretty serious about photography and there are far fewer situations that arise where I think, "crud, I've only got my phone". My hope is that there is still room to squeeze low light, low noise performance out of future sensors. Again, great article, a good read!!!
On an individual level, it doesn't improve being a good coworker.

On an institutional level, you get a broader set of ideas when you have a more diverse workforce, giving you a better chance at a black swan idea. And frankly, better odds of preventing disaster (Chevy wouldn't have tried to sell a car called the "Nova" in Mexico if they'd had a spanish speaker on the team. No Va means No Go).

There's also evidence that diverse teams do better - https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our...

MongoDB does not release the stack for Atlas, our SaaS. That's possible because we own the copyright to the source code -- we don't have to issue the software to ourselves.
