I'm also concerned that the fight against political influencing by fake news and whatnot quickly becomes a tool for political influencing itself. I've seen it first hand. I've just seen it happen in the third world: elections are actually well regulated and at the decisive last week, the incumbent party A who has been in power for 15 years accuses the outsider of using fake news (they even used a picture of Steve Bannon) spread through Whatsapp to influence the election. In due time the social network companies actually answered to department of justice probes and said nothing out of the ordinary (mass forwards, etc) had happened at all. This, of course, was after the election.

They "stole" quite a few points from the then-frontrunning outsider too. It wasn't enough because it was too-late-too-little; they were too far behind. And yet, the narrative that the outsider won because of fake news steve bannon donald trump russia stuck. International press reports of it are still around. What, is Glenn Greenwald going to own up to dirty maneuvering?

Not necessarily. I’d argue original employer has an inertia/experience advantage, if they don’t underpay too much.
FIDO U2F has a great anti phishing mechanism by incorporating the hostname.

However:

It's too difficult to setup FIDO U2F for your own webserver. There is still no Apache module or nginx plugin that allows you to protect a directory of your document root.

Also U2F is not available for PHPBB. There is a plugin that appears to be unfinished and buggy since 2015.
For a single person and their one-person code base, you can certainly get away without unit tests.

This is especially if your "integration tests" are testing the same component, and not actually integrating with numerous other components being developed by different teams - or, if the system is so small it can run on a single workstation.

Working in teams on larger systems, the situation is different. Part of the point of unit tests is the "shift left" which allows problems to be discovered early, ideally before code leaves a developer's machine. It reduces the time until bugs are discovered significantly, and reduces the impact of one dev's bugs on other devs on the team.

Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259)
> How much people are willing to pay for a service is connected to the value labour generates.

It's how much the market will bear. Business owners (shareholders) play a game of arbitrage between what people will pay for the service and the cost of producing the service (e.g. labor costs). I think folks are upset not so much at the cleaning services of the world, but the oligopolies, where you soak up the surplus value of the labor. Sometimes it's done illegally like in the wage collusion case in silicon valley, other times it's done legally through M&A. The wealthy have learned how to leverage their position for maximum profit, and many folks see it for what it is.
It's not like what's dumb is determined by popularity contest

Agreed. There's an amusing quote that goes:

One thing is sure: all common knowledge, all traditional
opinions, are foolish, for the very reason that the
majority agrees with them.

But we're still sort of talking at cross purposes here.

My personal view is that it's dumb to use 'inherited wealth' as a gauge of a person's character or competence. For the past century, that view has also been the majority view in the West. If the views didn't agree, I would have had to position my original post differently. I probably would have gone with something like "I realize most of you believe inherited wealth is a sign of good genes, but I disagree because.." But then, I wouldn't likely be as interested, since - in such an alternate universe - I would already be aware of the popular reasoning.

Eh. At this point, maybe we're off in the weeds

> we publicly exhibit more and more of our bodies and lives every day on several platforms

Except that we're (we in a general terms, I've stopped posting photos on social media years ago) choosing which pictures we're posting, where and with what filters (public or friends only).

For me the creep will be the person who keep looking at the same person, not just taking a look.
We implemented 2FA on our logins in the past year. I'm also looking at implementing U2F. We'll probably add this once there is enough of a user base.

IMHO the UX for all this stuff is very confusing to non technical users. People lose their phones, don't print out the codes, or simply don't understand how this works and do silly things like trying to use codes from the wrong account.

Since introducing 2FA , requests of people to reset their 2fa are a very regular thing for our support people. Especially when it concerns paying users, saying no is not really an option. So, resets are a common thing. I've since educated our people to at least not do this blindly but obviously, social engineering is a big problem with all this stuff. If this happens to us, you can bet it is an extremely regular thing for basically everything that has 2fa.

But my biggest worry with this stuff on my own accounts is somebody talking support into resetting 2FA on my accounts. I can do everything right and still get compromised because some underpayed support contractor falls for some social engineering hack.
No, but choosing a tool that implements support for multiple providers will give you a common interface.

And even if they do wrap all fields in double quotes it is very common to forget to escape double quotes in fields, then it depends on the parser as to whether it can determine the proper structure of the record.
Spammers use different (hacked) servers, so by the time someone have acted on the abuse letter and blocked outgoing SMTP the spammer has switched servers 10 times.
About the spammer iterating until the message get through it probably wouln't be worth the time, or the spammer doesn't have the technical ability to, or he/she would be able to get a real job that pays out 1000x more then what those spams generate. Getting a spam notification would also make lazy major e-mail providers to use existing standards such as SPF because their customers would complain.

The reality of working in teams at most companies is that there are going to be mediocre programmers, and even bad programmers, on the team. Many of the practices you refer to as bureaucratic bullshit are actually designed to protect programmers from the mistakes of other programmers.

Of course, this does require that the process itself has been set up with care, thought, and understanding of what's being achieved.

Depends on how underpaid doesn't it? There's a line for everyone where all that work just isn't worth still not being able to afford a decent standard of living.
I think we do a disservice to people to lump all carbs together. For many, it makes any dietary change seem overwhelming. I doubt many people are getting fat eating a diet of fish, veggies, and rice. In fact, that sounds like a healthy meal.

The problem is that people are eating candy bars, sugared soda, potato chips, french fries, pop tarts, and basically crap.

"Supply and demand" is that simple. The timescale is the part throws people off. The supply should increase even if it's just more people deciding to get degrees and experience in a field that is lucrative.

Your analogies are missing the key thing people are actually upset about here: one company got special treatment through private bidding. The class of beneficiaries has only one member.

If carpool lanes were built for the exclusive use of Patrick Stewart, widely loved though he may be, as an inducement to live in California, then yes, we would have the same problem.

Social change is hard, it doesn't mean it's not worth discussing.

There has been periodic political interest in fixing this, and some regions have actually opted out:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/15/shoul...

I don't think they've nailed the right formulation yet for a broader fix. Definitely a hard problem. But if economists universally oppose some practice, and it's also widely unpopular, it's not the craziest thing to imagine a potential for change.

> And if this doesn't happen, targeting specifically Amazon deal makes little sense.

I'm not targeting one deal specifically, all of these arrangements bother me. But if that's the incentive that happens to dominate the news it will frame the conversation. If the media blitz was about the breaks Tesla got in Nevada, that would be the backdrop here.

Amazon created this media circus with the competition, it gets to be the poster child for the broken system. It's not that big of a hardship, no one is calling for Amazon to be broken up or fined to fix this broader issue.
> What gives you the right to "design" how these workers spend their time; maybe they'd prefer to be exploited than jobless?

Jeeeeeesus christ, how am I designing how they spend their time?

How can you detect lack of freedom in saying "you can't work for unlivable salaries"
but not in "I only pay unlivable salaries because if you dont want these crubs there's other more desperate people".

> Ultimately the worker is payed by the company's customers,

No, no, they are paid by the owners who decide what slice of the income to allocate to salaries. The customers pay the product and walk away, they don't know anything about the internal workings of a company

>and if the law asks consumers to pay more than they're willing to pay for the workers' service,

The law asks the boss to pay livable salary, the end price has nothing to do with the law.
If the service cannot be offered at competitive prices while offering livable wages, it's not a sustainable business
That's a great explanation of some of the benefits! These are the most important in my opinion: "You can make those from the air too. Drought? Use fusion power to run desalination plants. Arable land becomes a non-issue with fusion because vertical farming becomes easy." You could also use this water to stop desertification, which would be a great thing.

I do disagree with you on Hydrogen fuel cells replacing electric cars though. I think battery powered cars will be better than hydrogen powered ones. The power storage is more reliable, and the power transfer is more simple (lines as opposed to truck delivery or pipeline. And if we assumed that it would be done on site at stations, then they would already have power lines, so just use that!)
OP here, my bad indeed.
I was fiddling around trying to figure out the right way to shorten and carelessly ended with this. No intention to mislead, but I agree this changes the meaning in a bad way.

Most importantly I don't see a way to revert; hopefully the moderators will see this and do it instead.
I'm not familiar with CA labor laws, but money is fungible so it could be just be structured as "This is a three year contract, and if you quit early, you're in breach and owe us $X".

Then it's not "clawing back" pay, it's just a fine for breach of contract.

I do think laws should prevent low-wage employers from screwing over their employees for piddling stuff like uniforms, but I think that's different than something like a professional apprenticeship.

I love this. I think for my next job I want to work at a place where people have enthusiasm for the product. It's very important to me to not just be building something that someone else told me to build. And I think that sort of team where engineers want to contribute to the definition of the product will make itself visible through enthusiasm for the product.

I'm sure there's room for the guy who wants to just build what you tell him to do and he's great it. I just don't want to do that and I want to be surrounded by people not like that.

An issue with this, from a greedy consumer perspective, is that it allows the app more time to get you to your destination. If I do an uber pool express, the time saved from walking doesn't credit to my day; that time is used to pick up more and further passengers, and introduces further room for driver error.

With old-pool, the driver did have to make more loops to get to me, which lowered the available time to get to my destination (as per the estimated arrival time provided by the app). Due to the tighter timeline, I typically arrived at my destination quicker and with fewer pickups.

The google phrase for this article in general is "exogenous force".

As long as the worldwide financial markets will only fund startups in SV staffed by young Stanford grads, Stanford will never be able to produce enough grads to staff the result of a world wide financial bubble. Imagine if the housing bubble last decade would only hire house framing carpenters born in Boise ID.

Eventually the idea of doing a startup in Chicago, Berlin, Paris, Prague, will change from "impossible" to "insanely rebellious and financially reckless" to "thats a great idea" and at that point the candidate pool being too small will disappear.

There are other exogenous forces such as companies that want to hire H1Bs, for whatever reason, must in public declare a labor shortage for legal reasons regardless if one exists or not. I'm not trying to debate H1B program but to state authoritatively that it legally requires corporate statements about the labor market to a pre-defined value of 'shortage' regardless of actual market conditions. As if in a thought experiment federal regulators required CNBC to report false numbers for todays Dow Jones index and people actually debated policy based on the legally required fake numbers. Any corporate statement by any company hiring, or planning to hire H1Bs in the future, is inherently legally required to be a false, fixed statement of 'shortage'.
All consumed energy is used to produce heat, by definition of "consumption". If some electrical energy transfers out of CPU to other components (this is indeed possible), then by definition this energy is not consumed by the CPU.

Most tournaments, including the "men's" Olympiad, correctly called the "Open", are open to both genders.

The top women are far worse than the top men (the top two are currently ranked #99 and #350). Discussing why is a sensitive matter: depending on which studies you believe it's either because women are naturally different from men or because the patriarchy keeps them down.
Advanced or centaur chess (where the team consists of a man plus a computer chess engine) tournaments routinely consist of 90% draws, and the best players are estimated at 3600 ELO, very close to the theoretical perfect play [1].
