I've got a couple of feature requests:

- Allow me to select more than three companies on the homepage. Or if that's not possible, let me toggle a specific one in and out. Right now I try to keep my current company on the screen, but as toggling a new company in drops an old one (seemingly lifo) it's a bit of a juggle
- On comp.html the tooltip over the graphs only shows 2/3 of the values. So I can see:
* Base salary + Total
* Base salary + Stock
* Stock + Bonus
but not all 4 at the same time. It'd be a lot more useful if I could.
Also, people are more able to communicate their wants and needs as deltas rather than absolutes. Creating something as a starting point is a great way to seed the conversation and get people thinking, even if that something doesn't end up getting used in the resulting product in any way.
It would work the same, except you can sign up with one click, login with one click, and the server wouldn't store any password/key. But it also allows for additional functionality, for example in a photo sharing app/site you could tell it that only those with these ID's should be able to see the picture, without the site/app needing to know who those people are, they don't even need to have an account on that site.
Probably the best ones. The people who are convinced from the start that their product is revolutionary tend to be less flexible than those who are just fiddling around, and may as a result fail to develop it as effectively.
This worry is unfounded.

Harassment is rarely the case of a single incident. Instead, people who harass other usually have a long history of harassing lots of people.

An anonymous complaint could be used not to determine guilt, but instead to trigger an investigation.

And if the person is guilty, then the investigation will almost certainly have a very easy time finding somebody, likely many, who will go on record with their incident of harassment.
What to do when a Trisector comes [pdf]
I think that due process should include the right to face your accuser.
You mean “IBM PC clone”. “Wintel” wasn't really a thing until Microsoft’s dominant consumer and business OSs were Windows, starting with Windows 95, by which point Linux had already done a lot of spreading.
I doubt breaking them up is targeted to solve this problem at all. I believe the only problem breaking these companies up allows is the emergence of competition and innovation.

As it stands today, it seems that any new technology company with a decent idea/product/service, is heavily incentivized to exit the market by being acquired and left to languish. Nest comes to mind and is only a single example. Another one: I was at ARMTechCon2018 and an up-and-coming RISC-V competitor of ARM was trying to be swallowed by, you guessed it, ARM.

The giants are truly monopolies and there are some of them that are capable of influencing entire economic market segments. Do we want that to continue?

EDIT: Grammar...I sometimes suck at it.
The company created a problem. It makes sense that their employees are using company time to work on fixing it.
Earthquakes and tsunamis happen. The nuclear reactors in Japan substantially exacerbated their negative consequences for the entire nation.
You first.

You've already proved you're willing to move the goalposts once. I've not moved mine at all. Clearly, it should be much easier for you to prove something to me.

The original question stands, and remains unanswered.
For what it’s worth I use my Tramontina kitchen knife [1] when eating, it’s not blunt at all, quite the contrary. I also never, ever start a fight or argument during eating, that is a thing my peasant grandma has taught me and my brother pretty well. Her reasoning was something like “if you start an argument during dinner you’re not enjoying the food that all of our family worked pretty hard to put on the table so by doing that you’re disrespecting them and most importantly you’re disrespecting their hard work”.

That's like Google using .webp to serve photos on some of it's sites. Great, now I have to teach someone else to find the download button to get a jpeg.
My mom worked as a witch/psychic/medium. She offered clients a potion, called "tea", and then let the person talk about their problems and prodded them occasionally until they realized what they needed to do.

Adding some trappings let people open up because of assumed authority. Same as most religions, though I know she told a decent share of people to go get medical help.

Very similar to the Terry Prachett version of witchcraft. Worked great. Not sure how much actual magic was involved, but I'm not sure how much needed to be.

Somehow print media doesn't have this problem. It's because they have a process and humans involved in placement.
As long as the company has clearly defined the roles in the way I've described there is no reason to leave. There will always be outliers who are not working as intended. That's human nature for you. The real solution is to try and help those people understand their role better, and if that fails, then get rid of them.
I can hear RMS right now... "It's GNU/Linux."
That escalated quickly, to the extent that it reflects poorly on your original question.
How is that a justification for reiterating the falsehood that one nationality is inherently inferior to others? I prefer to not use hateful rhetoric even if the "media" does it.
I drink chocolate milk, usually about 1 hour in. After the exercise is complete, a real meal is exactly what you need. No arguments there at all.

While you're training someone(or yourself) for any type of endurance event(eg triathlon), it's not uncommon to toss them a sugary(decaffeinated!) soda or juice. You're goal is to make sure they never exhaust that available supply of glucose until the event is complete. If they do, along with cannibalizing their muscle mass, they're going to have short-term discomfort(cramps, mental fogginess).

You can/should have visibility of the code base through design specs and code reviews.

There is absolutely no need to do a (potentially junior) engineer's job. It might be 'productive' but it's not the best use of your time or your role, and thus it is in fact a waste of time and money.

The suburbs.

I grew up thinking that every time you walk through a dense urban neighborhood, you have to be on your guard lest you get knifed or shot or worse. Ironically, I didn't get this from my parents; my mom used to ride the subway alone into Manhattan for junior high, and my dad grew up in Zamboanga City. But when your hometown has only 13,000 people and literally zero crime, you're shuttled by car everywhere, your peers all live in the suburbs too, your only image of the city are the news reports about murders & drug dealing, and your one urban friend is a black dude from Dorchester who regales everyone with stories about how somebody got shot on his front step and that's why his parents insist he wake up at 5:30 AM to get bussed to a suburban school, you get a pretty biased perspective.

There's a pretty strong selection bias maintaining this illusion too: people who are still in the suburbs for this reason will never come in contact with urban dwellers who aren't actually murderers, out of fear, and similarly the majority of urban dwellers aren't actually going to move out to the suburbs (and even if they did, their past lives in the city are just abstract tales to people who haven't experienced it). So much like other geographically-based stereotypes (like "immigrants are all bad hombres", "California is falling apart", "suburbanites are all boring Stepford Wives with nothing to do but gossip", "Appalachia is filled with uneducated hicks", and "religious people are wackos"), this remains a stubbornly persistent belief despite the reality.
Without new laws, Facebook has no reason to fix its broken ad system
If you use something like Authy or 1Password to store your 2FA tokens then they aren't lost if you lose the phone. Does this mean a single point of failure and in someways undermine the use-case for 2FA? Sure but as with all things security you need to decide where on the spectrum you want to be. It's a game of trading security for usability base on what your situation requires.
Doesn't that just mean they'll widen the pay gap by not getting paid in October? Then next year they'll need to take two months off, and so on.

At least they'll have plenty of time to post about it on Facebook :)
+1. Totally spot on.
I have trouble imagining a sentence where a speaker would truly have difficulty disambiguating the two senses. People rarely have trouble disambiguating even incredibly homophonous words like set, run, or bank.
While I think this is a great piece — especially the part about listening — and it's something we engineers all need to take to heart, I think its applicability varies depending on the nature of the product and the market.

If you're trying to serve a previously completely unmet need, as many startups are, then this advice is spot on and you should print it out and pin it to your wall. But there are different cases. Sometimes you're trying to bring an incremental advance to a well-established market. In that case there may well already be established marketing and distribution channels, and the value of your product may be readily evident to users of the existing ones. This is especially true in cases where the primary barriers to improvement are technological. To take an extreme example, people working on fusion power don't need to validate the market at all; when they finally build a working plant, they'll just have to plug it into the grid and get paid. Some of the things we build have this character, at least to some extent.

Another exception has to be made for truly visionary products. Sometimes, as Steve Jobs famously pointed out, people don't know they want something until they see it. The Macintosh might be the best example; computer users in 1983 were not generally thinking that they needed a GUI-based OS. This is a dangerous one, though, because we all want to think we're visionaries. If you're going to go down this path, do it with your eyes open, and realize your vision may be wrong — or, more frustratingly, right but too early (e.g. [0]).

Big Tech’s sell-off
The bias absolutely applies. Vegans care about their health, so they’re likely to do a lot of behaviors that are unambiguously healthy. If someone believes that meat is bad for them and continues to eat it, then they are obviously valuing something else over their health, and are more likely to do other unhealthy things like smoke, drink too much, etc.

I’d be far more interested in comparing vegans to people who believe that meat is good for them and are very health aware. Paleo or Keto individuals would be a good cohort to pick. That would measure technique and not intention, because both paleos and vegans are intending to be healthy.

I’m curious what your results were on low carb. I work out with a cohort of low carb eaters, and we lost an avg of 30lbs when we switched. I personally lost 40, most of it fat (thanks Dexa scan!). I’d also be curious about what your brother cut out from his food supply that helped. Obviously we’re deep into anecdote land at this point though.

I’m dubious about lab grown meat. As previously mentioned in an edit, 84% of the worlds calories are just straight up plants, and it doesn’t seem to be helping much. But if it provides cheaper meat to the masses, I might be persuaded.

I am however very conservative when it comes to introducing new ingredients into the human food supply. I think we’ve done a lot of harm in the past 30 years by adding a lot of seed (sorry, “vegetable”) oils into our food supply. Just because something isn’t acutely toxic doesn’t mean you should be eating it all the time, and I will personally take the exact same approach to lab grown meat. I’ll probably be the last person to switch over, if I ever do.

Edit: it turns out the original study claiming that meat was producing half of the greenhouse gasses was flawed, and the authors had to revise it. The actual number is 3.9% of US emissions, with the rest of agriculture representing 5.1% of US emissions.

One question:
Being noob at OS stuff, I feel quite impressed that bash and GCC could work on the Linux that Linus built on his own.
But everybody says that Linux really was something interesting as soon as a proper memory management was added to it. And that was done, but not by Linus.
So, which achievement sounds to you the most impressive? Building the first Linux? Or adding that (afaiu, critical) memory management feature?
Expecting a company to self-regulate itself to stop a certain sub-population of potential customers from buying its services is, not surprisingly, ineffective.

> I really hope that due process is involved

Outside of civil service jobs, in the US there are no “due process” rights in employment decisions; what process is due is a matter of employment contract (which for non-unionized rank-and-file, and even non-executive management, employees usually means no process is due, because of “at-will” employment.)

Given that, and given that employers are legally bound to prevent retribution against reporters, anonymity for reporters is strongly incentivized.

Hong Kong flushes with sea water because of the lack of fresh water sources, and these people complain about it because either the lack of taste, or the metallic taste (from bad pipes?)
Interesting. I suppose I'm guilty of conflating politeness and "civilizedness".
At first I though the approach to dynamic lighting was overdone ("they had to paint light sources manually 4 times?") but then remembered the world is not 3D, so there's no way to do it automatically without drawing defined boundaries among objects. Painting 4 directional light sources and blending them together is super smart.

I totally envy pixel artists, especially those from the earlier days of the art. What a different world.

There are lots of things that are inappropriate for the work place and yet aren't illegal.

And employer is absolutely responsible for dispering judgement on inappropriate, but legal things that happen while at work.

If I go to a co-worker and start yelling slurs at them, I should expect the be fired, even if my behavior wasn't illegal. The same is true for inappropriate sexual actions.
That's totally fair, but you don't have to force 2FA on your users.

And it's in CNN's best interest to keep pumping out stories that they aren't, because Google and Facebook are the two monsters taking all of the ad revenue from the once lucrative news trade.

That's why I take what the media says worth a grain of salt. They'd love to become the sole source of news again. They're actively looking to make these new age ad platforms fail.

Unless you have actual proof that someone is or isn't doing something, it's better to just assume you're missing context.
