1. Could you provide a source showing this discrimination in school? I went to school, men and women were definitely told they could be anything. Also the schools are extremely left-wing SJW(Canadian schools teach children that the right-wing are all racists) so I find this assertion to be immensely unlikely.

2. Teachers in Ontario receive ~$140,000/year for 8 months of work, 5 hours a day. This is publicly available via the sunshine list. If you're using teachers as an example of bias. You're barking up the wrong tree here these inflated teacher wages raise the wages of women on average.

Furthermore, teachers are outside the standard capitalist system. If you want to use them as an example of valuation of you must support the privatization of teachers. I would support that idea. Might not end up well for those $140,000 teachers.

The point is though, women are not 100% teachers and the teacher unions are extremely strong; women and men are being paid the same as teachers.

There is, but it does not seem that we learned it. Being a simplistic and tribal species seems to be very deep in our nature, sadly.

Fortunately, somebody has actually studied this and has found that yes, speed does matter:

"In Rheinland-Pfalz, a 130 km speed limit was also introduced on a 167km section of the A61 in 1991 and has been retained since then. This measure was combined with a ban on overtaking for heavy good vehicles. The impact of these two measures was a 30% reduction in fatal and severe injury accidents (comparing one year after and one year before their introduction – Rheinland-Pfalz Ministry of Transport)."

>While Google is probably sad to see them go, it would be even sadder to continue missing out on the world's largest market.

Honestly what I see happening, if Google isn't allowed to position themselves for a rentry into China, is Baidu eventually making an international debut. They have been developing an entire google-esque eco system in a bubble for years now. If Google was there, they wouldn't have such a strangle hold there, and wouldn't become an international threat.
My wife asked me out to her friend's company holiday party, but refused to give me her number because she'd had problems with stalkers before. I was like "I'm just going to trust that you're not a stalker and give you mine." We ended up having to call each other 4 times before we finally found each other, 30 seconds before the Caltrain arrived at the platform.

As an additional irony, the number she called me on was her Google Voice number, so when she actually started using her real number 2 months later I was like "Who the hell is this?"
What would be the pre-emptive-defensive action an authoritative body could take, should a rogue element launch tungsten “dice” into the orbital paths of *anything.

The way I understand it, SSAI is a video solution because you don't have to worry about impression (you have the view count), just the click so it can be done server side. Google has their own SSAI solution they call DAI. Criteo doesn't do it mainly because they have low video inventory. Correct me if I'm wrong.
AT&T didn't think they could make money on the route? If we have monopoly telecoms shouldn't they be providing this as part of "universal service" etc, part of the reason they get to be the monopoly? ( I'm sure I remember reading some justifications about that in the long ago)

Just how much money and how big a company do you have to be to undertake something like this? Since the railway right of ways got snapped up it seemed there'd be no possibility of real infrastructure until perhaps the government noticed the lack of it. Perhaps this shows that logjam is breaking.

>They already lost access to China nine years ago, and are now trying to get that access back.

Google withdrew from China on their own.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_China#Operation_Aurora_...

For 9 years they ignored one of the world's largest market's, and likely soon to be the world's largest market. They don't get nearly enough credit for that, entering china now isn't going to be easy, with Baidu having such a stronghold there today.

Perhaps they thought China would change, perhaps they decided the risk of Baidu becoming a threat is too great, who knows. But does anyone really think Google not entering China will change anything?

If everyone in the United States stopped buying made in China products tomorrow, that could cause a change. But the Chinese who don't have access to Google? They'll just continue using Baidu.
Happy for him in his success, JIRA is still the product i hate using the most on a day to day basis.

Second recommendation for that book. It really captures the reality of AIDS at the time.
I disagree. Either one is a good salary if and only if you are willing and able to work for the rest of your life. I would spend 15 years at a FAANG and retire early with a comfortable amount of money.

Or, in other words, some people are better negotiators than other. Since there's no objective measure of how much Google must pay anybody, the only benchmark would be comparing to peers doing substantially similar jobs. Fortunately, Google is big enough so that there would be substantially similar jobs to compare. Unfortunately, while jobs may be the same, negotiating skills of the applicants (and whatever HR workers they negotiated with) vary. And if somebody gets a better deal, that automatically makes everybody holding the same job underpaid.

BTW, in the same vein the article could be titled "Google finds it is overpaying many men (or women)" - since unless everybody has the same salary, half of the workforce would be paid less than median - thus being underpaid - and half would be paid more - thus being overpaid. Well, there could be lucky ones being paid exactly the median, but they are too boring to write an article about them.

No; my premise is that the smoothness and reliability at high speeds is the result of an environment which put demands on German auto manufacturers to develop cars which could handle the high speeds. Volvo is artificially creating an internal environment of lower speeds, which means their technology, hardware and software, won't be designed or at least optimized to work at high speeds. Moreover, they're asserting to the public that slower speeds are safer, which is generally true but also regressive and a vast over-simplification of the situation.

We should be celebrating companies which push the limits of assistive technology to make high speeds safer; this can only be done by companies who optimize around high speeds and have cars on the road gathering data at high speed. This conclusion is evidenced by the fact that similarly priced German and Japanese/American cars drive totally differently at high speeds, because German cars are designed to run at high speeds. The environment and corporate policy matters, a lot.

The reason our speed limits in America are generally low isn't really because of road feel or reliability at speed or any of that. Its more complex. But one step in a positive direction is definitely having more cars on the road with companies behind them who say "the cameras on this thing? they can detect a stopped car 300 meters out and take progressive action without any human intervention." Over time, we might see change. Or not. But that's a necessary factor.

On the other hand, Volvo is saying "don't drive faster than 112mph! that's dangerous, no one should ever do that and we'll never support it on our consumer cars" which is regressive. We can do better; we just need people and companies to Want to.
Nice story!

I started seeing them after realizing that adding a 30s quick answer to a short question of one eam probably earned me .5 to 1 point in a total score of hundreds ones.

After that, my next four years followed the track that opened.

New Design Approaches at 7/5nm
"Ought" came up in two places:

> maximizes employee value and customer value

and

> the abundent and efficient markets of today

I suspect the GP believes it a little more strongly than I do, but I think their point is that we should consider outcomes (i.e. "plenty") rather than stated intentions ("maximum profit"), though their examples mostly illustrated the point in the other direction.

Criticising Uber for trying to maximise their profits could be construed as criticising them for delivering customer value. Bit of a stretch, though :-).

Where do you go that doesn't have Lyft, but has Uber?

I travel regularly and it is very rare not to have Lyft available. Virtually any city with >250k has both from my experience, although that could just be where I travel, I don't know.
There is no constraint that companies must maximize shareholder value. Companies can be set up for any number of reasons (including non-profit reasons).
The other day I logged out of Instagram on my phone, created a totally new account (for our dog), cleared all the cache and it STILL found my coworkers.

I didn't want my coworkers to see my dog account because I act silly and want to be professional.

I'm CERTAIN they just sent data I didn't agree to send (phone number, etc).

They didn't re-prompt to access my contacts so I assume they think that since the APP has permission every account I create ALSO has permission to access my contacts.

Fuck facebook!

This paper on 'simple sabotage' was written by the CIA during WWII

https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/...

It's really interesting. Basically if you can't fight back , just resort to sabotage.

They discuss things like:

- having extra meetings because meetings are inefficient.

- promote lazy and mean people and demote effective and committed people because it impacts morale.

I think this might be a somewhat effective way to fight back in some of these situations.

Don't like your companies new policy on China?

More meetings! Also, promote Bob.
In the US we have Lyft, so not quite a monopoly. Possibly an oligopoly though. I'm building an app that pits them against each other on price to promote a competitive transportation market. In some countries Uber does have a monopoly, or has been kicked out in favor of a different monopoly...
I've yet to find Lyft in Europe but there's a lot of cities there with Uber available.

I keep hearing this argument, but well guess what? Nobody is forcing anybody to become an Uber driver. If Uber treats their contractors so poorly, they are always free to go around and explore other options. We live in a capitalistic society, after all.
> I'm having more doubts as to whether I really want Engineering over, say, a computer repair technician or something similar.

It doesn't take much skill to repair a computer so technicians have relatively low pay, no career growth prospects, and poor job security. If you'd rather work with your hands, be an auto mechanic, plumber, or something else.

> - I've read Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing PCs 22nd Edition, Meyer's CompTIA A+ Certification book, and a CompTIA Security+ book from 2011 very thoroughly. (Thus why I am quite confident with a little effort I could get those certifications.)

With a little effort, pretty much anybody with a pulse could get those certifications. That's why many employers give little, if any, weight to them.

> All I care about is having enough money to raise a large family and live somewhat comfortably.

Uh, yeah, maybe you should look into the pay ranges for your potential job choices, particularly the ones that CompTIA aims at certifying for. Focus on the mid-to-low end since that's what most jobs pay.

> - I don't like the idea of Computer Science, thus why I did Computer Engineering. Computer Science seems too theoretical to me.

Comp. Eng. is usually a harder degree to get than CS and has just as much theory. If you have difficulty with Calc II, wait until you hit the differential equations course; you'll need to use it, too.

Unless you're good at Comp. Eng., the job prospects are much slimmer as well. At the moment, businesses will hire any programmer who can slap together a couple of lines of web code that kinda, sorta works so CS grads have an easier time getting a job as long as they can code competently. (That may change once the recession hits, though.)

> However, is there any advice or thoughts you would like to pitch in on this matter?

You have a 40+ year stint in the workforce ahead of you, at the end of which you'll hopefully have enough saved up to retire. You need to decide what you're personally willing to do for a living for that entire 40 years without gagging at the thought of going to work every morning. If that's being a repair tech, go for it; money doesn't buy happiness.

If you actually like building stuff using theory (and it sounds like you might not) and are willing to put your nose to the grindstone and get a Comp. Eng. or CS degree, you'll get a lot more freedom in what you can do in your life.
Passwords are only easy if you're using them in an insecure fashion (sharing common passwords across multiple sites). Doing passwords right is actually really, really hard without the assistance of an external tool (password manager).

I get what you're saying though. Users are used to passwords, so moving to an alternative means of authentication will introduce a bit of friction. That said, I think that done right WebAuthn will actually be way easier to use than passwords. Users will just be able to sign in to their browser once, then use what is effectively single-sign-on for every site thereafter.

We're still quite a ways away from that point, but that's where we're headed.

This is available on cars manufactured by Holden - I rented one a few weeks ago and it let me set a maximum speed on the cruise control.

I actually found this to be far more intuitive than cruise control with a minimum speed, because I just kept my foot constantly depressed on the accelerator, and the car never went above the maximum. But when I needed to slow down slightly, e.g., for a car in front of me, I could lift off the pedal and let the car natually slow down.

Conversely with minimum speed cruise control it always feels to me as if I'm zooming along and constantly need to disable it/etc.

In my limited experience, stock options have significant differences from other typical investments in the following ways:
1) You can be prevented from effectively selling stock options prior to a liquidity event
2) Partly due to 1) , stock options are much harder to price than other investments that _could_ be bought and sold freely.
3) Due to the additional requirements as a byproduct of vesting, it is often impossible to pursue options at multiple similar organizations simultaneously.
4) Due to the caveats of even being a shareholder in a company, sometimes there are complications and risks. This is why there is a significant multi-page document to sign when exercising options typically.

It does seem a stretch to be bumping against the limits with a global head count of 3061 [1], with about 40% in Sydney [2]. To name two (of many) other tech heavy Australian employers, CSIRO has 5500 employees and DSTG has 2500, so it's not like Atlassian is some behemoth that has sucked up all the local talent.

The Atlassian founders have come out against Australia's draconian refugee policy and are calling out xenophobia in local politics (for which I applaud them on both fronts), so maybe they are engaging in a bit of hyperbole to back these causes?

Alternatively, Google's mission of "organizing the world's information" isn't quite complete if it continues not serving China.

Alternatively still, the real danger is not lost opportunity, but the emergence of a strong Chinese ecosystem (from network equipment all the way up to search and apps) that will steamroll Google's current Android-based hold onto the developing world.
