Employers have a duty of care to protect employees from harm in the workplace, and that includes protection from sexual abuse.

A lot stuff that counts as sexual harassment in the work place is not a crime.

You don't sue people who perpetrate crimes, you prosecute them. You're asking the victims of sexual harassment to persuade police to investigate and prosecutors to prosecute, and we know that they won't because we know they already don't.

You're also saying that no action can be taken without meeting the very high criminal burden of proof - that this thing happened beyond all reasonable doubt. That's going to leave harassers free to continue.

Maybe you just meant that sexual harassment is unlawful and employees have an existing remedy through civil courts, but this would be pisspoor management. If your company employs people who reduce productivity of others in the workforce by sexually harassing them it's in the organisation's best interest to manage those people so they stop the harassment or leave the company.
That 'but' is an excuse. Government opinion will always lag the peoples opinion - its a reactive organisation.

Making a change yourself and normalising it is a huge signal to those you come into contact with that they should do the same.

Governments change when politicians realise they are growing out of touch with the people they are trying to coerce.
I'm basing it on my knowledge of all comparable two way satellite antennas, Rx/tx rf chains and modems. But there really is nothing comparable. The cost may end up being opaque and hidden to the end user wrapped up in 24, 36, 60 month service contracts. Sort of like how you can get a $950 phone for "$0" with contract.

Current phased array two way satellite stuff that is small, and intended for geostationary purposes, is manufactured in such small quantities that it is hard to compare.

MongoDB was AGPL, but according to MongoDB, Inc. that didn't stop cloud providers to sell it as service, without also publishing their management tools and everything else used to provision MongoDB under a license AGPL accepts. Hence MongoDB, Inc. came up with their license additions.

IANAL, but depending on who you ask, AGPL is deemed unenforcable or even misusing copyright legislation. In any case, AGPL hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, been tested before a (US or EU) court. If it had, I'd expect an excessive discussion as to which scope AGPL can have, and a fundamental legal discussion of whether copyright laws can even limit use of third-party software.

Anyway, AGPL doesn't directly address commercial licensing; it rather extends GPL's "distribution" to the case of "provisioning over a network", with the understanding that a commercial license also offered from the publishers doesn't require you to publish your source code to your end users. As it stands, AGPL might not be a good tool to express/enforce "free for personal use". It also depends on whether you actually want to win contributors, or merely have a licensing badge for your project. The AGPL itself basically implies that you want contributions (code) from your commercial users, rather than money.

> Your claim about LGBTQ not being able live places without fearing for their wellbeing is simply wrong and to the extent it's true it applies to most other people too.

How do you know this? Please cite sources, as is you make assertions with no backing. Even a brief read of Mastodon or Twitter shows that many LGBTQ+ people like myself fear for our wellbeing even in supposedly "safe" cities, and justly so considering how we are targeted.

> So no you don't HAVE to be in politics just because there are horrible attacks on the LGBTQ community.

I never said you have to be politically active if your LGBTQ+, but unlike cis-gendered straight people, we cannot bury our heads in the sand and entirely ignore all political news. The results of doing so in the past have been disastrous.

Yeah, for determining which of six strangers in a lineup is the one who mugged you in a dark alley. IDing someone who harassed you at work seems easier.
So you think all claims should be dismissed as false and people who are actually subjected to sexual harassment and coercion at work should have no recourse.
I believe that the climate impact of ethically raised meat tends to be a lot higher than that of mass-produced meat. The reason being that it simply takes more resources to ethically produce meat.
>No, of course not. Symmetrically, the should also not automatically accepted as true.

This. I imagine most are absolutely true, but there are some that absolutely are not. I've personally been accused by rape, online, of someone in another state that I've never even been to. Fortunately, no one took the claim serious but I imagine there are many innocent people that have been wrongly accused for whatever reason.

I also had a friend, that was using OkCupid, reject a girl very politely in the first message or two. She then went on 'cheaterville' and posted that he gave her sexual transmitted diseases/infections and made multiple accounts alleging the same, one even as him with his name. He's an actor, he was up for a role and they retracted their offer when googling his name brought the cheaterville page up on the first page. Now if these two instances have happened to 2 guys from the midwest that have no power or money, I can only imagine there are quite a few false accusations regularly. I also imagine there are many many more TRUE accusations.

We need to protect individuals regardless of race, gender and sexual orientation but at the same time we need to avoid workplace harassment turning into McCarthyism.

How about travel by plane? Are you willing to do that?
gross comp in 2002 adjusted for inflation would be ~$285K, vs this year @ ~$340K, but big difference is net — as a consultant, health & life insurance, travel to global conferences (an indulgence of mine), employer taxes and 401K/SEP IRA are considerable. I priced out a comparable open market family healthcare plan before taking the role I'm in now (large but youngish tech company you'd recognize) and it was shocking: almost $2,200/month vs ~$300/mo as a salaried full time employee. Counting benefits for 401K, stock discount purchase, and basically free travel to any conference reasonably related to my job, it's not even close. I get 6 weeks pid vacation and generous holidays, none of which are free as an independent. Also, because of a pre-existing condition, I am uninsurable if ACA is ever repealed, and forget about disability or life insurance (ironic thing is I'm probably measurably healthier at 48 than I ever was at 27). I have $1M coverage now, plus $100K for my SO.

So I look at it as plateauing, but rather I freely acknowledge I hit the lottery early from being in the right large city, at the right time, and happened to pick up and enjoy a skill that was in high demand (see Patrick McKenzie for the definitive wisdom on this, and negotiation). Sure, I worked my ass off, benefited from a great university, but mostly was just a smart guy who got lucky and motivated. In some other universe, who knows how things would have turned. But I have zero desire for the 60 hour work weeks of a corporate tech life on the "leadership" track, nor the soul-crushing grind of a daily 90-minute commute. When my oldest child took his first steps, I heard every detail. Over the phone, sitting in my corner office alone at like 8:00 on a week night. No thanks. Today, I own my own home on a beautiful, large private piece of land outside a medium sized city. My commute is from my bedroom to my upstairs office, except for a week or so every two months when I fly to HQ. I see my kids soccer and basketball games and I manage no one. I'm an "individual contributor" whose paid handsomely and get to work with some of the brightest engineers of my life and travel to awesome places to meet up with old friends. And yes, I do present occasionally, but I don't /have/ to to have my way paid. It's a good life, and this is exactly where I want to be.
> Government opinion will always lag the peoples opinion - its a reactive organisation.

I don't think this is true. In the USA, incandescent lightbulbs were more-or-less banned in favour of energy-efficient CFLs and LEDs, and people whined and moaned like crazy. Then they very quickly got over it. If you'd waited around for everyone to convince their friends and neighbors to spend 300% more up front on light bulbs, that would never, ever have happened.

We need political leaders to show real leadership. I am not optimistic.

The problem is that it can turn out men are more aggressive when it comes to getting counter offers which has a much larger impact than anything else. If that's the case then what do you propose, ban people from negotiating and lose everyone good enough to get competing offers?
It also has a built-in bias: the more you are falsely accused, the more stressed you become when you are treated as a suspect.

No, if it's one person leveling an accusation and there is no corroborating evidence (either physical or more witnesses), it's not enough. Otherwise it would be within anyone's power to have people fired or put away for rape without evidence.

You may be right about the DE -> Fellow promotion, although I only heard of it once, and that person was pretty spectacular. The Fellow -> DE path is unheard of. As is the RSM -> DE. All the DEs I know came from SWG and were STSM.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as ethically farmed meat. If it’s killed for your plate, it’s still bad karma.
I thought it was almost decided recently(definitely later than 2011) that actually, nuclear war wouldn't cause global cooldown, or if it did it would be extremely temporary, definitely not on the scale of decades or centuries.

Another interesting fact is that we have detonated nearly 2500 nukes since we first made them, and it had observably zero impact on climate, despite each one releasing gigantic amounts of energy into the atmosphere.
> Perhaps they are mistaken, but they seem to believe that there are real downsides to filing even true harassment claims

Why can’t both be true?

For what you are implying to make any sense you have to assume some sort of equivalence:

1) Between the kind of woman who makes a false claim and the kind of woman who makes a true one.

AND

2) Between the kind of man who is guilty and the kind of man who is falsely accused.

I don’t think either of these two claims holds any water.

It all comes down to domain knowledge, I believe, where it is hard to provide good solutions without actually knowing anything about the type of problems being under scrutiny.

There are other types of generic problems, e.g. word processing, but those domains are often overpopulated with solutions where it is either hard to compete or hard to earn money.

The point you are making is that it is worthwhile to invest in understanding a problem domain well and the more specific it is, the more you have it for yourself :)
And then - how about not having children? An impact of a single child is greater than lifetime of eating meat by a single person.
The suggestion that managers should have >10 direct reports doesn't convince me. Maybe 30-person reporting groups can work in places where everything else is precisely right, but in most environments this will be a recipe for a power vacuum where people are incentivised to start acting as de facto managers. And I'd sooner have one manager (who, ideally, I had some choice in via picking a job or assignment) than several pulling in different directions.

Most of the rest is spot on, though.
I do that stuff but it's not going to save the world.

To save the world we need: a substantial price on carbon, a faster path to developing advanced nuclear power (in addition to continuing renewables deployment), a major rollout of lab-grown meat as soon as it's affordable with decent quality, negative emissions methods both technological (direct air capture) and biological (kelp, reforesting), and maybe some kind of solar radiation management if things go too far.

In short we need a global WWII-level effort. Instead we're encouraging people to ride bikes and eat their veggies.

It's tricky to share a screen recording because there's personal information. But I just did two for my own curiosity. From a fresh load, once the "Loading Gmail" screen has gone away, it took 8 seconds and 11 seconds respectively from clicking 'Compose' to having a new window open.

Maybe there is variability. There are a million combinations of factors out there. I suppose as an engineer you make the trade off of "do I hope for the best case" vs "do I make something that works for a broad audience".

true,

I don't, for two reasons.

(2) Anecdote: I've been involved in investigating a sexual harassment claim at a previous employer, at it was absolutely and categorically and provably false.

Too late. That ship has sailed a long time ago. The situation has gotten so out of hand, that recording all employee interaction might indeed be the only way forward.
> The style of refactoring that one does in Haskell (disclaimer: it's been many years since I've written any) is not really possible in Clojure, but it's not really necessary, either.

You're spot on. It just isn't really necessary to refactor Clojure code. In my many years using it professionally, I didn't have to refactor it once. The code just stays clean, it doesn't need cleaning up. So I find the whole refactoring argument moot. Why does your language lend itself to code that needs to be refactored? Sounds like a disadvantage to me.
I have also been here too many times to count.

My take on it is that it's not a failure as long as you've learned something.

In my case, for the first number of projects I built that nobody bought/wanted, I didn't learn to find the market first (sadly), but I did learn a huge amount about how to build things.

Now I can build better things faster - but I'm actively learning to find the market.

>Like Redis Labs before it, MongoDB has concluded that this license allows a bit too much. In particular, cloud providers are offering access to MongoDB instances without cutting the company in on the resulting revenue stream, and that doesn't feel right. In response, MongoDB has just announced an immediate shift to its brand-new Server Side Public License (SSPL).

This paragraph conflates Redis' application of the Commons Clause [1] to its add-ons with the switch of the license for MongoDB from AGPL to its own license called SSPL[2].
This are in my eyes two very different things.

The Commons Clause is a commercial restriction and its creators are very clear about the fact that it is not an Open Source license.

The SSPL, on the other hand is, in my opinion, an adaption of the GPL to new distribution channels that goes even further than the AGPL. I see this as very much in line with the original spirit of the GPL, regardless whether MogoDB's motivation might be primarily commercial or not. These are just my 2 ct from a curious glance and I'd be very much interested how RMS sees this, I hope we will get a statement from him or the GNU project.

>There is a lesson here for contributors as well. The request for license approval notes that: "As of this writing, the MongoDB GITHUB repository shows over 43,000 commits, 680 releases, and over 350 contributors." To become one of those contributors, a developer must first sign MongoDB's contributor agreement, which assigns copyright ownership to MongoDB. Those contributors all gave MongoDB the right to relicense their code in this manner [...]

CLAs are pretty common nowadays and they can be a problem for potential contributors but pointing at MongoDB, for just doing what many other large OpenSource projects do, isn't fair.
