I think you mean immense value—your best work is still to make others rich.
Yeah the part about giving the whole web "permission" to deprecate IE6 should ring alarm bells, even though it's not literal.
> IE6 wasn't always terrible

For web apps, IE6 and anything that came before was always terrible. It used to be hard to build a decent web app, even if most of your code ran on the server. There is a huge qualitative difference between building for an ad-hoc platform and one that is rigorously built and tested against some externally defined standard.

Sure, Chrome may be lagging in some areas, but--like all modern browsers--the platform it provides conforms rigorously to the standards it supports. And that makes all the difference.
You want the chart to show 50+ genders? I don’t think it’d fit. That’ll probably still discriminate against those who don’t feel included. Someone is always going to feel alienated.

> I wonder if it worked in this case because it started a movement?

I think this is the answer. Most people at the time weren't on IE6 out of choice. The fact that youtube (or more likely google docs) had this banner, gave disgruntled employees a better excuse to force IT to upgrade than "I don't like this browser"
Fair would be sending executives to jail for hacking.

That would be up to a prosecutor. A civil suit would take the form of a class action.
Incredibly expensive, solvent heavy and wouldn’t actually work either. You’d be better off burning the lot to produce electricity which is what increasingly happens.
Intersectionality is an essentialist power movement — an absolutely vile form of bigotry, which subscribes to the massively debunked notion of racial and sexual essentialism.

That’s why they always talk in terms of tribes: they believe these characteristics define a person.

There is nothing besides entitlement to discriminate against others that will ever be “enough”, and it shows through when people supporting intersectionality make statements like that.

“Inherent bias” is just “original sin”, rehashed.

It doesn’t matter what results they produce, an analysis of their actions is irrelevant! — don’t you know they’re just inherently biased?
Also, reminded me of the old CB1 cafe, which labelled itself "UK's oldest internet cafe", which amusingly hadn't updated their website since 2005: http://www.cb1.com/
There is no mention of using insects like crickets? They have a VERY low impact on the environment. Lower than nearly all vegetables.

The graph is measuring in six month intervals, so the March 2009 release of IE 8 needs to also be considered.

Also, do it as right and professionally as you can.

I mean, randomizing the order is obviously the right thing to do when you hear it. The reason companies don't want people doing this without going through the proper channels is... what if the boss hadn't happened to think of it, or hadn't been in on it?

Of course, in reality in this case, they would have just fixed it when they noticed, it in fact wouldn't have been a legal disaster. But anyway.
I honestly don't agree with that point of view, in fact, I find it quite disappointing to see this kind of point of view on HackerNews out of all places.

Debate about Facebook being good or bad aside, a large portion (if not majority) of human civilization's technical progress were made due to less than idealistic motivations. In fact, I'd categorize a large portion of engineering and scientific achievement under the label of "less-than-altruistic intention, but positive externality".

On the topic of Facebook, I actually think it's fantastic that the biggest social network is getting so much public scrutiny left and right that everything they do is put under a microscope.

Let's be honest, social networks will not go away, if Facebook disappears tomorrow another one will take its place before the end of the year, and they will just be as "evil" when it comes to privacy invasion and data gathering (why else would you start a social network in the first place?). However they are likely to be less incompetent than Facebook at PR and likely to have a more charismatic and likable CEO than Zuck, and before you know they are doing the exact same shady things without the public freaking out all the time.

Aquabyte | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | Software Engineer / Machine Learning Engineer / Deep Learning Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer | ONSITE, VISA https://jobs.lever.co/aquabyte/

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea for generations to come.

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Yeah, I agree. Democracy in its common definition is unlikely, but democratization is a gradual process in my view. I believe that, once Chinese people stop getting richer and become less content, they would seek alternatives, more and more democratic elements would be added if CCP wants to avoid a violent overthrown.
Why shouldn't try to improve our diets, in addition to everything else?
Interesting thread... but I really doubt the oopses were intentional. Instead it's just a case of nih syndrome, where the engineers have a myopic view and only test/build for the internal Google infra and apps. The same thing happens in golang and Kubernetes.

I feel like 'agile' has become similar to capitalism or socialism in that it exists to solve a set of problems, and the internal structure of the idea does in fact solve the problems it seeks to solve, but has a whole bunch of real-world failure modes that make it tricky if not impossible to make work successfully over the long term because they're founded on assumptions of how humans work that are close but incomplete. Management always wants more granular control over projects, and agile doesn't encode a way of resisting evolution toward one of the many versions of zombie agile.
I bet plenty of employees upgrade their home computers, though, and eventually started pressuring their IT department to let them use the same modern browsers at work. A CEO asking why they can't have Chrome on their work laptop is sometimes all it takes to get the ball rolling.

As a USian, when I lived in Japan (working in semiconductor) from the mid-80s to the mid 90s, people always seemed to make this copying claim.

My response was-
1) Copying an ISA is not copying architecture
2) JP was innovating in manufacturing, not ISAs, which is why they got 95% yield, not 65.
3) Yes - they weren't great systems software guys, and
4) Have you seen Nintendo's games? Clearly they can create and innovate and program.

The trope irritated me, but it seems to be a psychological defense move whenever an emerging contender challenges an incumbent (got to get the base features first == copying)
Isn't bleach used in a lot of laundry cleaning already, so it's a bit inevitable that bleach & vinegar would end up in the sewer system?
It's not measuring in six month intervals, that's just the scale at the bottom. There are peaks and troughs that are very clearly higher resolution than that.
I think it likely did. When CEO's and upper management read stories about how doing away with IE6 is better for security, and then remember they use IE6 for certain things internally, that can spur conversations that cause change. Maybe not immediate change, and maybe it has to percolate through company boundaries where enterprises express their dissatisfaction with the tooling provided them if it requires usage of tools widely believed to be insecure and change finally starts happening.

Ultimately, I think top-down change at enterprises is much faster than bottom up, and a national news story is just the sort of thing to spur a lot of top-down changes.

Personal Blog Analytics – Which Numbers Really Matter
I've been a real estate broker specializing in this property type for 5 years. I've noticed the trend of large private equity companies like Blackrock buying mom and pop parks and raising rents or redeveloping the property leaving the tenants out in the cold. The cost to move a mobile home is on average $5k - $20k forcing many tenants to abandon their homes. I have a small startup called movemymobile.com that addresses this issue. We currently are finishing up our MVP and should be done within two months.

I think this article is disingenuous. It's telnet on a nonstandard port with hardcoded credentials, that was added back in after being removed when it was spotted in previous security testing.

You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile https://github.com/mariocesar, I often post code snippets in https://gist.github.com/mariocesar
totally agree. and that guy is 17!
# What is my stronger skill?

Django and python based projects. I have been working with Django so many years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and complete a project quickly.

# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?

aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large applications, I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue really clicks with me.

# Somethings that made me happy recently?
