Microwave and other non-ionizing energy can be used to influence rate of reaction. Chemical reactions depend upon orientation and bond state/dynamics, that are influenced (not necessarily broken, but, say, "flexed", stretched, etc.) by resonant radiation.

I remember learning about this decades ago, in college chemistry. (G\heck, getting out of the "radio" frequencies, many people have had photo-sensitive reactions demonstrated to them, for this very reason.)

Well, say you have a chemical reaction that presents a certain risk level. And say non-ionizing radiation in your environment influences that reaction.

Take it a step further down: Temperature influences rate of reaction. We certainly know that non-ionizing radiation effects temperature of absorptive materials.

Look at another aspect of this: We have chemical compounds that are strongly believed -- known either through strong empirical observation or deduction of the specific chemical mechanisms -- to cause cancer.

They appear or are known to be doing so without the assistance of ionizing radiation. Ergo, this effect consists of chemical reactions.

We know that non-ionizing radiation can influence chemical reactions.

We are nowhere near a comprehensive catalogue, much less understanding, of all the chemical reactions in the body. Chemicals that we and our natural environment evolved, much less chemicals we've manufactured and introduced into our environment.

Can we say that non-ionizing radiation cannot cause or promote cancer? I don't think so.
I cited one defintion, here's one for you from Merriam-Webster

"terorrism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion"

If you go look at press coverage right now, it looks like there's a minimum of dozens of employees at each of many worldwide locations that have walked out. If you're telling me a company doesn't feel that, doesn't feel a hundred or possibly thousands of employees refusing to work even 1 shift, because they are upset about how something was handled, that that isn't 'the systematic use of terror' to coerce Google to change policy then...

I think people may want to work there either by accident or because they can't get hired anywhere else. So there is this good chance that by accident people of average capability who are not aware of better options will stay there.

Then, the more they stay there, the less marketable they are, so they stay longer.

I think it is a problem in the management's eyes because they are trying to hire a new sort of people (startup-minded, not software vendor-minded) but they are failing at that.
Even worse, slack.

Hi Marius,
I have emailed. Please check.
USD is the mother of all scams.
The point of a company investigation is to investigate violations of company policies; law enforcement doesn't get involved in determining if company policies were violated, it's simply not in their purview.

If during an investigation they find criminal behavior they can (and usually should) turn over their evidence to law enforcement and let them do their job, which is investigating violations of criminal law.

Violations of company policies and violations of criminal law have huge differences in burden of proof.

People sometimes confuse the two and say things like "they should have never been punished at work because they weren't convicted in a court of law." But that's not exactly how it works, the burden of proof for work punishment is simply a large magnitude lower than legal punishment.

Most workplace harassment is not criminal. Most violations of company policy aren't criminal.

A lot of companies do not have the foresight or resources to simply split a team though.

There's lots of way to organize teams as well. At previous companies we've organized yes around products, or around skillsets, for instance.
>I think this offers a great leap forward in transparently keeping local software up-to-date.

Not really. You're forgetting that there is also nodejs runtime bundled with your app. And it needs to be updated too.
I've been granted mine already and checkout was through the Google Store.

Estimated arrival time is 3 weeks for free shipping but you can upgrade for a fee.
As a low level employee it's not really your responsibility to try and change the culture. It's your job to find a place with a culture that fits you.

Fact is, changing a corporations culture is almost impossible. It's set over time by the people who work their and their policies. The people you hire, then hire more people, and so on indefinitely.

Google is pretty much stuck with this culture for the foreseeable future. The only thing that can change are policies. Which sure, these employees may be able to change. However, the culture that puts these policies in place will likely persist.
So to summarize (for my own understanding)... It's fine to want to build something first. However, if you want it to be financially profitable in a big scope of impact, you have a higher chance by plotting it out and then executing, than accidentally stumbling upon a perfect business model for your completed product.
Are you open to sponsoring a work visa for talent from abroad?
Good point, I guess this is what I will be writing on my own glassdoor review - there is literally zero office politics and there is every chance to use whatever tool you learn. I personally learned vue.js and secretly transitioned some internal tools to that.
> You have millions of people who have called the U.S. their home for generations, and now you have a large group of people flowing into your communities and imposing their cultural values onto you via government.

I assume you must be talking about native americans and the large influx of white people who won't assimilate to their local Ute or Navajo or whatever culture. Because literally any other interpretation I have of this comment is less charitable because it would imply you have a staggering level of hypocrisy.
Local Fox affiliates != Fox News

Still low quality, but for different reasons.
The practical way to mitigate exposure would be to use a headset and keep the actual phone away from your body when possible.

Any sort of cover over the phone itself would cause it to lose reception.

Couldn't have said it better. I am another one of those people here with the same experience.

Ironically, building because of being afraid that nothing will be built often leads to exactly that outcome: months or years spent on something that nobody ever uses. Now it's built, but it doesn't matter, which is essentially the same as if it had never been built. In my experience, this really often is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And it has a tendency to become a vicious circle when the fear becomes self-reinforcing.
If the existing codebase and development practices are poor, you hire people who are excited to remake them, and you get rid of existing people who fight against this. Or you hire/retain only mediocre developers and muddle along forever with mediocre software. (Which I think is really what many companies do, though they won't say so.)

If execs don't support fair compensation, hours, benefits, psychological safety, physical safety (sexual assault is a thing...), and such, you don't hire. You watch the company burn.
Definitely technical mentorship- especially in robotics. Also great career advice for people starting out in their career (in university for CS or graduating soon/just graduated, picking between entry level offers) up to 2 years into career. Or grad school advice.

Watched this on NHK earlier in the year, and it's worth every minute. Fantastic documentary and really gives you a thorough sense of who he is and how he operates.
He's not talking about COM. Thé HANDLEs are a handleiding to a kernel object. This means multiple differentiatie handles light exist to the same object, and handles in different processen have probably differentiatie numeric values for the same object. Think win32 handle = Unix file descriptor (roughly)

FlowCommand (YC W16) | Data Scientist, Backend Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | https://angel.co/flowcommand/jobs

We build sensors that track the behavior of high throughput fluid systems. Our goal is to help the oil and gas industry, water municipalities, and anyone dealing with fluid optimize allocations while reducing spills and theft. Our sensor is a self-contained unit attached to a pipe which sends ultrasonic data directly to our server via cellular/satellite; we then use a mix of physics equations, signal processing, and anomaly detection to determine the behavior of fluid (volume and speed).

We are a small software team based in San Francisco with offices in Houston and Mexico City. You’ll work on models to improve the performance of our 100+ sensors deployed around the world. You’ll also leverage our remotely controllable flow-loop test facility in Houston to generate training data from our sensors. Join us if you want to be a leader at a rapidly growing company that’s using innovative technology to solve hard problems in the physical world.

Perhaps evolution has provided this mental state. Self, family, clan, tribe. Promote these things relentlessly or you will go extinct. There is always something you can do, so idleness is to be disdained. Indeed, much like apoptosis at the cellular level in response to defect, one in deep social isolation and despair for lack of purpose may even withdraw from the game of life entirely. Evolution at work.
notice it says "asses their report"
Not nearly as easy as it would be to kill with a sharp knife. A fork only has so much travel and would have a hard time penetrating tough tissues such as the epicardium. Besides, people don't seem to stay still when being killed, would you? So maybe not so easy to kill with a fork.
You can't just retreat to ethics are personal when you just implied that a group of people were irrational for being willing to eat fungus. If you didn't intend to imply that then then downvotes show you should work on your communication skills.
Maybe they should unionize? They could then elect representatives and have a seat at the table with management.
I meant we can’t sponsor.
I would like to see electron as system package. Would work similar to Webview in Android (which is updated as normal package and any app can use it). And the best part is, that it can be done (I mean, create such a component with nice installer and auto updater). Just nobody done it and rather keep bundling full electron with every app.
The link at the bottom is different. Is that an affiliate referral link?
Most people I've been around think like this. So in Lynchburg and the very western suburban part of Richmond Virginia at least they do.

Younger people who aren't in (have graduated) college seem to be a little more reasonable.
Advice to management: Improve. Then your past employees will not communicate to prospective employees that you have not improved.

Alternative advice to management: Murder everyone who works at Glassdoor? Murder the next employer review startup that replaces it? Murder the people who report on the murder?

That's really the two options. I'm serious. Put up a kanban board, or overthrow the government and install a totalitarian dictatorship.
This, plus perhaps women shouldn't be forced to switch jobs (or at this point, maybe even industries) to not be sexually harassed at work.
U.S. Says China State-Owned Company Stole Micron Secrets
No, when they talk about watts per kilogram I am pretty sure that they mean these were absorbed. Like they literally built 21 big microwaves, 7 for mice and 14 for rats, and then turned them on: it's no different than your microwave at home, the waves bounce around the walls until they find some water to call home. They're presumably not concerned with any microwaves that escaped the resonator.
We've already asked you to improve your comments, so we'll ask again. Can you please post civilly and substantively or not at all?
Really? That sucks. If this is true, a mod should change the URL post haste.

Good article. Well done.
From the description, the startup where you work is similar to PrivCo:

https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/PrivCo-Reviews-E659519.htm

Except PrivCo encourages its employees to post positive reviews, so PrivCo maintains a fairly good rank on Glassdoor. You'll notice that all of the reviews are either 5 stars or 1 stars.

The company that you are currently with could encourage its employees to post good reviews on Glassdoor. While this may sound dishonest, I think most companies do this, so you are not being any more dishonest than most other companies.

I see some comments in this thread on HN where people saying "leave there, go work somewhere else." But such startups can be interesting turn around possibilities, especially if you are experienced enough that you can pitch yourself as a senior level tech consultant who can turn the company around.

That was my experience at PrivCo: I actually had a good time when I was there, because I was brought in as part of a turn around effort. When I left, a year later, the place still had problems, but it had improved.

The obvious solution to half of these problems is to bring in good, qualified, experienced people and give them enough free reign to turn the ship around and improve the environment.

The way to get such people to join despite the problems is a) be truthful about the problems before hiring them; b) explicitly hire them for the job of changing these problems (so, management support for these changes); and c) pay them a lot of money. There are people who are up for a challenge and mess cleaning, and they can be hired if the management wants to.

However, from your story it does not appear that the management wants to fix these issues and is not willing to invest nontrivial effort and money into such changes. In that case, they won't fix them, and as they're profitable, they'll stay that way forever or until (if!) more efficient companies start pushing them out of the market.
Give them the Joel test as something to strive towards. I know not everyone loves it, but you gotta start somewhere, and if they can't at least implement some of those items, why have any sympathy?

After all they may have damaged your capacity to get new work.
There's a sci-fi novel called _The Truth Machine_ that looks at what happens in a society when a perfect lie detector is introduced.
Did you have to pay money to do this?
Neither do the people above. Apple isn't acquiring any other phone makers. Google isn't acquiring any other search engines.

The breakups you suggested would make them slightly smaller companies but wouldn't solve any of the problems. the problem with Google if there is one is that it's the only search engine anybody uses. It's 90% of the market. Taking away YouTube doesn't change that.

Instagram isn't really a competitor with Facebook. Facebook would still be an effective Monopoly. Same with apple without iTunes.

There is nothing you can say at your exit interview that will help them, and plenty that could hurt you. Just say you saw a better opportunity elsewhere, and politely decline to elaborate.

This is especially relevant for a company that does not give honest feedback to interviewees after a no-hire decision.

If the company had a working process for self-improvement, you probably would not have such a strong desire to be leaving. Once you are gone, the you-shaped hole in their roster is entirely their problem, not yours. If they really still need your help, you can charge them for it at consulting rates, and they might even value it more because it wasn't "free".

>That's how we got the Salem witch trials and why mere accusations aren't usually enough.

That's how plenty of hard-working, innocent, Americans got blackballed and had their careers ruined by McCarthyism.

The House Committee on Un-American Activities resulted in many things, but the Hollywood Blacklist alone was something like 150 names of almost entirely innocent people. Those people couldn't get work because someone accused each of them of being communists, often with zero evidence.
Microwave ovens also typically transmit around 1kW, at the resonant frequency of water.

By comparison most cell equipment is either not at this frequency or a harmonic if it, limited to <<50W, or both.
