First, make sure to ask the right questions during the hiring process so that you know, without crossing any discrimination lines, whether a candidate requires "sponsorship" and second, establish a relationship with an immigration attorney so that you can bring good candidates to his or her attention to determine whether sponsorship is possible and worthwhile.
Honestly, I really dislike Apple's recent policy of publishing "statements" for everything that ends up in the press. They did it for the Bloomberg article, and that was fine, but the one against Spotify and this one sound whiny and more importantly they fail to address the actual issues being brought up. It's just a bad look.

Nuclear waste isn't a big deal. After reprocessing what's left will decay to ambient in 10,000 years. Every major proposal for how to deal with it will have no problem storing that.

If you're scared about plutonium from reprocessing there are two things:

1) Reactor fuel has been in the reactor for too long. It's going to have far too much Pu-240. Reactors don't care, bombs do. You can't make a reliable bomb if you have too much Pu-240.

2) Deliberately leave hot stuff in the reprocessed fuel. So long as it's not a neutron absorber the reactor won't care. However, it will leave the fuel deadly hot. The industry has the equipment to handle it (after all, it's no hotter than the spent fuel they are removing), the terrorist does not. Nobody's smuggling it out because they won't live to accomplish it, not to mention that it will set off alarms from far away.

Speaking of children in the room.

I've known a few people in my life who could talk anybody, including themselves, into any stupid idea you could imagine. And then talk themselves out of it again in six weeks. The whiplash is tremendous. I've started applying advice for talking to addicts to my conversations with them (supportive, but don't invest in it). It's so disruptive. And personally, I find it exhausting.

Most of them have been in sales, at least once.

Lots of code bases have code coverage in some middle range, lets say it's 82.34%. What does that number tell you? Did the team write 7.64% more code this month that doesn't have test cases?

The point you're making is actually irrelevant to the discussion. If you explicitly excluded code, you probably have a reason for that and you take your chances. Ideally, in a perfect world, you'd have no excluded code.

We had some mild debates at an old company on this matter (I don't think anyone was really ever pro 100% coverage, but we were under pressure to increase coverage in order to provide momentum and to emphasise that automated testing should be routine)

> Google has some responsibility when identifying flaws in consumer devices and software to be more clear about the actual impact, ramifications, and likelihood that your device was compromised

I don't think that's Google's job at all, especially for a competitor's product.

Their project is to identify security vulnerabilities and disclose them to the public, in the name of public interest. We always have to assume worst case for security vulnerabilities, it's kind of the whole job of being a security researcher to determine what could have happened. Their job isn't to make Apple's users feel better.

It's also not Google's fault that media known for being wildly off-base when reporting on technical news was predictably off-base again.

I'm not sure if this is unlawful termination, but I have a friend who was recently terminated with cause. The cause was supposedly lying about something. He had proof in his emails that proved he was innocent, but he has no access to his emails and was told all his accounts were deleted immediately on termination. What actually happened is some higher ups who had no hand in his brainchild saw how successful it was and wanted him to put their names on it. He refused (in retrospect, stupidly) and thus was fired so that they could take it over and claim it as their own. Because he was fired for cause, he has no severance, unemployment, cobra health insurance, etc. If he had copies of his emails it would be an entirely different story.
Part of the reason Paris feels different is that they've mostly allowed the city to grow up, everywhere, instead of just a few places. The latter is more likely to lead to not very friendly feeling skyscrapers without a lot at the street, human level.

Exactly this, plus, the entire concept of 100% coverage is hilariously wrong.

Are you covering 100% of code interactions? How much of your integration logic are you mocking? Are you covering 100% of HTML and interface logic? How much code is not in your code? What about packages and imports? It's incredibly arbitrary for no good reason except to slow development of a product that may depend on fast development for survival in trade to test for bugs that honestly, actually, may never happen. To be clear, testing is good, but you write tests to serve the code and product, not the other way around.
Because simple questions with no known simple answers are fun to study and can lead to actually useful techniques sometimes.

EVs are by no means a panacea, and synthetic fuels are an awesome maturing tech that can go a great deal further to reduce our green house gas emissions, while not requiring an entirely new supply chain infrastructure be built to accommodate.

Criminal negligence requires violation of established standards. Not just 'common industry practice' or even 'basically sensible', but legally established standards bodies who have laid out what practices and requirements must be fulfilled. Computer and software systems lack these standards completely. There is nothing. As such, if a computer is involved, it is impossible to prosecute criminal negligence. This is a big issue that will only become more pressing, but there are strong arguments on both sides of the argument over whether such standards should be established or not.

Computer people don't want to raise the barrier to entry by requiring licensing and following regulations, and money people don't want to pay for licensed computer/software engineers. Not to mention just deciding what the standards should BE and how the standards body should be constituted and run is guaranteed to be a rats nest and a sequence of progress-thwarting horrors... but the cost of not tackling it and paying for it will cost lives. We can be guaranteed that.

I work in games, and some modules are very conducive to automated testing.

Eg. complex math functions, it'd be very easy for them to be not quite right and you would never notice without tests, and also they will probably never change.

An area that would be stupid to test (with automated tests) for example, would be a UI menu.

* The test (ie. replicating a user pressing buttons via code) is probably gonna be more complex and less maintainable than the code its testing.

* If there is a bug it will be obvious in human acceptance testing.

* UI menus are gonna change drastically during development.

Anyway, I could see a misguided requirement for 100% code coverage massively hampering a project and potentially killing it.
I'm not familiar with the intricacies here, so maybe someone can help me out, but if it is the case that using the app in certain geo-locations is illegal, then why have Apple allowed its download and use. Surely, Apple has the responsibility here?

Look, I'm not going to start the entire helmet debate here on HN, especially since you clearly have not done your research. But to specifically address your points:

1) SWOV has published multiple analyses of this issue. They explicitly noted that the analysis you're referring to was unusual in that it said up to 85 people would be saved per year by wearing helmets. Their other analyses, which use different modes of calculation, arrived at far lower numbers.

2) It's not "a death competition" (but don't worry, America is #1 regardless.) However, every mode of transportation has a cost in lives in many forms. Aside from direct deaths, there are also many indirect deaths from various modes of transportation. If you're going to criticize a possible safety problem in a mode of transportation, keep in mind the broader context. In the Netherlands, where trains are a critical part of the transportation infrastructure, there are more suicides by train than bike deaths (although both are around 200/yr.) You could argue for, perhaps, airport-train-style doors in front of platforms. But that too has an associated cost, and a benefit.

3) You need to consider the consequences of every action, no matter how obscure or strange they may possibly be. Anti-child labor laws sound like a good thing, right? Well, read up on the Child Labor Deterrence Act. Harkin simply introducing the act in Congress was enough to scare manufacturers around the world into action, firing their enormous sweatshops of children. Good, huh? Well, the children were at the sweatshops for a reason. Turns out that without the sweatshops, enormous numbers of children went into prostitution, theft, and rock crushing (which might not sound bad, but it guarantees the destruction of your lungs if you're not killed in a number of other ways.) Every action can have first order, second order, third order consequences...

Finally: 200 deaths a year is an extremely, extremely small number for a system with nearly 20 million users, operating carbon-free, smog-free, at extremely low cost (~20 eur/year.) And it manages to provide fresh air and exercise to all participants! There's basically nothing like it; it's a wonder of the modern world. Risking damaging this system by adding helmets... The payoff is tiny, the risk is enormous.
~16 is about when my kids seem to start trying to manage their phone obsessions. There's nothing really weird about it.

Apple/Google presumably know who purchased the app, through their respective app stores.
Right? I saw the line above about giving away taxpayer money. Um...no, only in that while the money originated from taxes, it actually paid to hedge against risk (and the cost of insuring up to 400k is probably significantly less than that amount - what are we talking, several thousand dollars a year MAX of taxpayer money? Worth it!)
This is the type of article I'd expect from a junior engineer.

Test coverage matters even if it is not 100%, especially if it covers the most important use-cases. Cost and time always needs to be considered. 100% coverage may not be worth it. Coverage based on LOC is also an arbitrary metric in some sense, the author himself has examples of that. From a business POV, use-case coverage is more important.

There is a bit of chicken-and-egg here because as a former tech co-founder, i'd argue that much of the risk of entrepreneurship was ameliorated knowing a larger player could acquire you if you do well. I wonder whether -- if FB/etc were not allowed to acquire budding successful startups -- whether

0. Founders would take the risk

1. Early engineers would take the risk

2. Angels/VCs would invest as much in them

> I don't think that's Google's job at all, especially for a competitor's product.

To be credible, it would be especially true for a competitors product. If you're even remotely insinuating that they can or should go softer on themselves than others, they're 100% not credible, and that would only make Apple's stance that much more legitimate. If they aren't at least as tough on themselves - and they should probably be tougher on themselves than others - it's just a marketing team.

But I do think they have that responsibility. Disclosing flaws and vulnerabilities for consumer use cases requires nuance and less "just the facts, ma'am" otherwise you're actually doing more harm than good.

The stories will be blown out of proportion, and the world will go numb to them. Because the little, low impact issues are constant background noise - when they get blown out of proportion and 0.000001% are affected, and 90%+ were patched 6 months ago, all this does is contribute to the noise, and doesn't improve the signal.

This. Same as mv AND cp.
I think what really matters is that your test coverage percentage increases over time and never goes down. A goal of 100% might be ideal, but is rarely realistic.

The math pencils out, but the station has to have a fairly large radius away from the axis of rotation. For example a station rotating once a minute with a radius of 500m produces 0.6g. This means that you are looking at a 1km diameter if the station is symmetrical, or possibly less if some sort of counterweight is setup.

It's funny how their public interest seems to stop at the line where Google looks good and their competitors look bad.

I would say that their public interest mission should include not inciting unnecessary mass panic by exaggerating claims or by using imprecise language that would allow the media to make exaggerated claims.

Test coverage is a very dangerous metric. IMO it will only be useful the day that we find a way to not take into account those tests that are testing implementation details. Every time that I see a high number being enforced, the end result is always a disaster: lots of poor quality tests that are only there in order to bump up that metric. Those tests are poison: they don't aim to test correctness, they make refactors/improvements a PITA, they just lock you down to a concrete implementation and they don't even give you any guarantees that your code works correctly.
This is exactly my experience. I'm not a paranoid person by any means but it was becoming laughable how much it was happening. The final straw was when my buddy came over to my apt after a work where he was explaining that he had to trim some trees and 30 minutes later I'm getting ads for tree trimmers even though I live in an apt and have never even remotely searched for anything on the topic. It happens too often and to too many people for me to believe they don't. Especially because if I owned facebook I would do the same thing because there's little pushback and the data is invaluable.

They learn that you will say no, every time. So they ask someone else, and someone else, until they get the answer that most resembles what they were after, then they lock into that as a commitment instead of a hypothetical conversation.
