Your reading of that hierarchy is different from what I got out of it.

Clueless are people buy into the "Arbeit makt frei" idea.

In the linked article, the majority of people in the office (not even considering the warehouse) are losers.

Stanley is the quintessential "loser", and he precisely optimizes for "slower-paced, less stressful".

In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's the "worker bees" that are clueless. Dwight, for example, is as "worker bee" as they come. He jumps on command.

From my reading, this hierarchy has nothing to do with social status outside of work. It is precisely how you behave on the job.

That literally happened.
I'm not outraged. I'm saddened.
I agree with your assessment. This may be have always been the norm in the USA as well, my naivete maybe be showing here, but this absolutely feels like self-dealing[0]. This seems unethical at the very least. This is the kind of thing that we made nihilistic jokes about in my former home, a Soviet satellite nation.

Genuinely hilarious thread from Twitter's design lead on information density claiming they are "careful" about it.

A Twitter profile page now presents literally zero tweets on screen (other than the pinned crap) now without scrolling on a Macbook.

The old design was also terrible, but this one is just a joke. Literally everything needs to be about twenty five percent of the size it is.
I think you are really, really far off here.

The fact that WeWork sits on certain personal information, but NO information on past jobs, network, etc, should tell you enough.
If I could short wework I would.

Softbank is basically setting its own valuations because of the amounts it has to invest.

Wework has a ton of red flag.

Softbank is a major wework investor.

Could I short softbank?

Most large companies don’t trust IBM anymore. RedHat has joined them in turning license audits into a profit center. Defending unfounded audits is a large cost of business with both vendors. Hard to imagine many folks trusting them on journeys with new technology.
Look closer at the email address.
Well, I'm not opposed to it, as much as I have yet to "see the light". I think that the the original non-trivial problem of deciding which thread or which subroutine gets to change what piece of memory at what time is still there. The original problem was a logic bug, but it manifests as a memory bug in C.

As an aside, I've recently been working with PLCs and I've come to respect a lot of the design elements of things like the Siemens GRAPH language which makes it easy to capture my intent for sequential control stuff.
You can't avoid protectionist arguments when discussing H-1B process which is explicitly designed to achieve protectionist goals with protectionist-friendly means.

You could have a very different immigration system, but there's no sign that the currently elected representatives or the voters targeted for the next election want to have or even would tolerate a non-protectionist system.
"The past is never dead. It's not even past." This argument is about sovereignty. Hawai'i was overthrown 125 years ago, and today's zeitgeist calls that injustice. Of course, the overthrow was not something that happened once, then ended. We choose daily whether to reaffirm the ethos of overthrow, or how to reject it.

When Akaka convened the working group described in the article, that is one way to grapple with the question of sovereignty. When people talk about whether Native Hawaiians support the telescope, that is another way to do it.

In this thread, I see a lot of comments that don't seem aware of the undercurrent. To describe the opposition as superstitious makes sense if you're dismissing some weird part of your own polity. If you were talking about opposition to a cow science facility in India, you probably wouldn't describe the opposition as superstitious. (Not because they aren't, but because sovereign people are entitled to their beliefs.) People are welcome to dismiss the sovereignty of Hawaiians on a message board, but I thought I'd write this comment for anyone that doesn't get what the conversation is about.

Similarly, to say that the opposition is "small but vocal" fails to comprehend why the state does not simply remove them. It's because the public (while conflicted) does not love the ethos of overthrow, and the state cannot cart away the protestors without reaffirming that ethos in a very public way.
As a Northern European it does seem a bit of a bad deal that women are expected to work but there isn't much of a guarantee for parental leave, affordable child care or even vacation. But I guess there isn't that much precedent for such things.
I've been really close to picking up an Intel-based Asus Chromebook Flip like the C434 (still on discount on Amazon today) or older C302 (under $300 used). If I didn't have a daily driver Macbook and a stack of other Chromebooks I'd be sold.
and Facebook couldn't see any evidence this hack was worth $30,000 until there was video evidence and a detailed description given to them exclusively, with no information on message boards of articles to put it in the collective conscious, or “peer review” publicly. so does your perception matter? anyway I detailed how the instagram economy works in one of my other comments

Also it wouldn't be temporary access lol. When you take over an instagram account you change the email address and the username twice, the person you took it from gets the alert email for the first change, the second email gets the alert for the second change to the third email address. The original owner doesn't know what/where the account is anymore.
> But then one could claim that monads are a palliative idiom for pain points in function-oriented languages, with at least as much justification.

Arrays are a monad. I think some monads can be described that way, but monads as a whole run into the "tensor trouble" of being so damned general that nothing can really be said about them... except for useless generalities.
Isn't Softbank way to diversified to make any shorting strategy close to impossible ?
It doesn’t much matter to me whether it’s badly targeted or untargeted. At the end of the day the result is the same: they pour all this effort into abusive tracking and then it doesn’t even achieve the result that’s supposed to be the reason they do it.
It's actually the reverse of how a bank makes money, they take on sell long term debts and buy short term debts.

It won't be personally guaranteed. Overcollateralized, sure. Maybe he can take out a $3-400m loan against $1bn worth of stock. Also mind that these loans were taken out before the company was valued at $47bn.

Someone who built up that much wealth, even on paper? Every single bank will want to lend him money, at competitive rates. He's going to need / want debt for life to do future deals, even after his WeWork days. You want to be the preferred bank to that person.

Banks would much rather lend out $100m than $1m 100x, as it takes a lot less effort. Hence they like these clients. I think you'd be surprised on the terms he got on those loans.

The more money you need, the easier generally it is to do a deal.
I had the same problem with the Wiki article! But, to be honest I had the same with the last part of your comment. Could you explain your last paragraph in other words because I don't really understand what you mean there?
And reduce the font size from a minimum of 14 down to a minimum of, say, 6.

And for it to also reduce the menus. And for the site to actually use horizontal space. And for the site not to insert different scrollbars over the menus if you're using it in a small window. And for to let us reduce the negative space padding by 99.99999%.

Gah. It's so, so fucking bad. Twitter have the worst design team, and literally everything they have done for a decade has been garbage.
I'm sure IE 1.5 has plenty of vulnerabilities you can use to add a Javascript interpreter.
Seconded. And, if you're intending to head for industry (and something like 95% of CS grads wind up there[1]), you need software engineering more than you need CS. Try to get as much of it as you can.

A mechanism to constrain root CAs to particular URLs/domains was proposed in firefox a while ago[0]. Perhaps an idea whose time has now come?

It seems like the principle of least privilege could easily be applied to the CA system rather than trusting all CAs for all domains, as there seem to be obvious/natural constraints in certain cases (like CAs that only operate under a particular country TLD).

you don't need this script to find the accounts, you would use it when you promised to buy or sell an account and hack the phone number based 2-factor

to either assume control of the account without paying, or steal it back

but if you did want to scale this up to stealing normal user's accounts, stealing instagram accounts is merely a factor of changing the email address twice and then the account name.
after which the original owner knows their account got stolen but has no record of the account lol, because they don't know the account ID, just the old username and email address which is super gone and doesn't match any record. you won't get caught primarily because there are too many barriers of entry for someone to take it seriously enough to investigate.

How much taxes do they pay at the moment? What is the fair amount of taxes they should pay, in your opinion?
> Take academic courses instead of practical courses.

I would caveat this with: Make sure you have some structured activity that forces you to write a bunch of code. If you're not competing in ICPC or doing something similar, you should be taking courses like Operating Systems, Compilers, etc. that require significant coding assignments almost every semester.

Theory classes like Discrete Math, Theory of Computation, Algorithms, etc. are great, but it's important to have structured practice to make sure you're developing your coding skills as well. Most students won't actually complete coding projects on their own time, so it's good to put yourself in situations that force you to do it.

Overall great advice though.
Wikipedia says IE2 has JS which really surprises me. I never tried IE2 - I got online in 1994 and IIRC I was using Mosaic. I didn't know of the existence of IE2, I don't remember how I got Mosaic but most likely it came on the CD that the ISP provided to get started. I have fond memories of the internet in that time. Not that it was better but it was more amazing given not having internet before. Sending an email was magic then, and to talk to someone in another country for free seemed amazing.
Interestingly, some major photo competitions require 'original' RAW files to be submitted along with processed jpegs. The idea is that they can check that the image hasn't been modified in a way that breaks the rules.

Of course, software people know that it would be tedious but technically straightforward to concoct a fake RAW file from another 'raw' format such as a PPM image. The stakes in these competitions can be quite high so it's a bit disconcerting that they rely on a presumption that converting RAW files to editable images is a one-way process.
Yeah, the big question is why would Masayoshi Son bankroll a super overpriced REIT-like company. That dude is not your random retail investor that couldn't see it for what it is.
You're seriously delusional. I've had largely great experiences as a developer and its largely a passion for me still. Sorry it wasnt a free meal ticket for you.
It is a pretty good outcome. Your comment made it seem like Nike pushed other manufacturers to get better labor practices out of a desire to do good (perhaps I am reading it wrong), whereas I think what happened was that a purely-profit-driven corporation acting in its best interest ended up doing something good.
To paraphrase Steve Jobs, "What's this supposed to do? Let me read tweets? So why doesn't it fucking do that???"
Nah. Why didn't the Dem's do this back when they had the House, Senate and White House?
It was never actually going to be decentralized. You could tell because there was no way their design could actually handle that without a total rewrite. It never was an actual cryptocurrency from a technical standpoint.

What it's going to be is a payment system in WhatsApp that pretends to be a cryptocurrency but is really just an attempt to limit the popularity of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other real cryptocurrencies.

I mean, there are plenty of people who believe the government should be able to track and intervene in all transactions at all times. I am not one of those people and that's why I support the existence of real cash and real digital cash (cryptocurrency).
I totally respect what they've done to build such a large company. But tbh, they've never built any tech. My guess is they had such a hard time building the systems they needed that they acquired Meetup.com to address those needs. So deep down, tech-wise, it's really just Meetup.
You just get roped into a big development project like Hudson Yards in NYC which was an excuse to sell thousands of EB5 visas. The bonus is your investment in "blight" redevelopment turns into luxury housing you can purchase to park your excess funds.

> RedHat has joined them in turning license audits into a profit center.

If a company is using licenses it hasn't paid for, and so isn't entitled to, why is the vendor the bad guy for catching them out?

Maybe I'm the odd one out here as an individual in paying for the movies I watch, and the music I listen to; but I would expect a business to pay for the software it's using, irrespective of your stance on "big media".
Amazon does sell porn, but it's excluded from recommendations and casual browsing I believe. If you search by keyword you'll get results.

Yeah, without at least a few lower-level support pricing examples, I just assume it's too much and move on when I've looked at it... the backup limitations for community installs is a no go for me.
I've often thought that SO should archive questions past a certain age. With the archive being a button click away, so those questions can still be browsed, in case of miscategorization. Or if I could choose to archive an answer once I see it's no longer relevant.

It is one of the greatest blunders of the constitution. Nowhere near enough thought went into limiting the power. Granted, the commerce clause is almost the whole purpose of the federal government, but it's nonetheless far too broad.

Everything is interstate commerce.

I agree with almost everything you say but this. Why low rise? With high rises, we can use less space for housing and we would have more space for parks, libraries, and greenery.

I completely disagree.

Nothing in the design prevented the system from shifting to a staking mechanism, or some other form of decentralized governance.

Edit: to be clear, I have other issues with the proposed design, and I am also skeptical about FB's intention.
I really hope the next big competitive move in browsers is per site saving of zooming options, and automated tools to remove whitespace padding.

I would honestly pay good money for a browser that removed 95% of whitespace on most sites.
It's not the cashing out that's unusual. In a vacuum, sure, using investments as collateral for loans is SOP.

Using the controlling share of a company that's planning to IPO in less than six months? That's a bit more unusual. It makes you wonder about the terms, or fuels your imagination with who's fronting the cash for something that risky and what types of situations justify it.
You might dislike cities, but please don’t narcissistically project your personal preferences into everyone else and claim that they are unpleasant for everyone.
Try page 1:

"China’s national accounts are based on data collected by local governments. However, since
local governments are rewarded for meeting growth and investment targets, they have an
incentive to skew local statistics. China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) adjusts the
data provided by local governments to calculate GDP at the national level. The adjustments
made by the NBS average 5% of GDP since the mid-2000s. On the production side, the
discrepancy between local and aggregate GDP is entirely driven by the gap between local and
national estimates of industrial output. On the expenditure side, the gap is in investment.
Local statistics increasingly misrepresent the true numbers after 2008, but there was no
corresponding change in the adjustment made by the NBS. Using publicly available data, we
provide revised estimates of local and national GDP by re-estimating output of industrial,
construction, wholesale and retail firms using data on value-added taxes. We also use several
local economic indicators that are less likely to be manipulated by local governments to
estimate local and aggregate GDP. The estimates also suggest that the adjustments by the
NBS were insufficient after 2008. Relative to the official numbers, we estimate that GDP
growth from 2008-2016 is 1.7 percentage points lower and the investment and savings rate in
2016 is 7 percentage points lower."

Au contraire: More traffic benefits exactly those who need Tor's protection, because it grows the anonymity set. Your streaming innocuous porn over Tor helps to provide cover traffic for e.g. "gays in the middle east" streaming highly illegal porn. Without this cover traffic, Tor would be utterly useless.

So please do stream porn over Tor. Bandwidth capacity on the Tor network is just fine these days, and your use of Tor helps all those who really need the privacy and anonymity Tor can help to provide.

In the large city where I live, green spaces and parks are flourishing. There are many cultural amenities for children (zoos, museums, libraries). There is also a large ecosystem of for-profit child care/play spaces. Cars are everywhere, but bike sharing, bike lanes, and public transportation are also available. I'm not sure that the city is an unfriendly a place for small children. The biggest problem with all of this is cost in dollars and supervision time. I'm sure with the right priorities, those problems could be solved also. Suburban sprawl isn't inevitable.

Dual intent is a weird and subtle aspect of immigration law. It does not mean that the H1-B visa itself is dual intent, available for people with immigrant intentions. The H1-B visa still requires intent to return to your home country.

8 USC 1184(h) allows the H1-B visa holder to be dual intent:

> The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an application for a preference status filed under section 1154 of this title or has otherwise sought permanent residence in the United States shall not constitute evidence of an intention to abandon a foreign residence for purposes of obtaining a visa as a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (H)(i)(b) or (c), (L), or (V) of section 1101(a)(15) of this title or otherwise obtaining or maintaining the status of a nonimmigrant described in such subparagraph, if the alien had obtained a change of status under section 1258 of this title to a classification as such a nonimmigrant before the alien’s most recent departure from the United States.

It says that the fact that you’ve filed for permanent residency will not be deemed to undermine the non-immigrant intent requires for the H1-B. But the H1-B remains a non-immigrant, temporary visa.

Contrast with say the Canadian skilled worker program, which results in permanent residency at the time of immigration.
