No. Samsung grew during Japan's trade row with the US in the 80's. The trade hostility between the two nations gave opportunity for Samsung to jump in the DRAM business, just in time for their 64K and 256K breakthroughs ahead of competition in 1984. By 90's, Samsung was already ahead of most Japanese competitors.

Now, stop making stuff up to rationalize China's IP theft.
This is true if you think in an egoistical game theory mode, where all the other can be is an enemy, where only one party can win and where the idea that you win automatically when the other loses is accepted. In reality both can win or both can lose as well (and they do so regularily). So if both sides can predict a race to the bottom wouldn’t the better thing be an approach that tries to disolve the binary situation (which is btw a very american thing in itself because political compromise is far more common in nations without two-party systems).

I think context is key, and we shouldn’t theorize conflicts in everyday life in the same way as all out nuclear war or other existential situations. Maybe that is just the naive idea of a guy who benefits from the wealth and peace produced from a Europe which for the first time in centuries doean’t feel the need to kill each other for (in hindsight) more or less meaningless reasons.
This is one of the reason I hate about PIP( performance improvement program). They set ridiculous goals for you in very short amount of time that nobody can possibly complete, then fire you on grounds of incompetence. A friend of mine who works in Facebook told me that an employee committed suicide due to the pressure of PIP. I suspect that guy was put into PIP due to poor rating (meet most), then was given a ridiculous task which is impossible to complete. That guy was stressed out and that eventually lead to depression and suicide. RIP

Step 1. Raise 4 billion dollars in an unlawful ICO.

Step 2. Pay 24 million (0.6%) in a settlement with the SEC that admits your actions were unlawful but absolves you of any further issues.

Step 3. Use the remaining 3.998 billion to pay someone to write a compiler for you instead of writing it yourself?

That is just the cost of doing business. And they have the statistics figured out well enough to know what rate they need to make money and cover the similar customers that default on their loans.

But we've heard countless of stories where banks "rearrange" the order of transactions such that there is multiple overdrafts and thus fees. That is an example of something not in the customers best interest, but designed to suck out as much money as possible.

I hate all of my jobs. Computer programming just doesn't seem worth it for 100-120k. I could work an easier job for a better money/bullshit ratio. My therapist is concerned. So am I.

I get where you're coming from, but I still don't think it deserves a ??. Most people in most environments want a GUI they can click around in.

I'm very comfortable with git at the command line, but I still think it's valuable to have a web interface. For instance, with a web GUI I'm able to share a link to a specific line or range in a file in a specific commit.

Typically if I need to do that I'm asking a question or requesting a change, and in that case I want there to be as few barriers as possible to increase the chances that the other person cooperates. Asking someone to clone/pull the repo, checkout a hash, and then view a line in a file is a much higher barrier than asking them to click a link.

Also not OP but: Having a limited language that looks more like data than code provides great opportunities to analyze it in ways that you can't analyze Turing-complete languages (halting problem and all).

This has to be one of the most impressive war stories I've ever read. Thanks for writing this all out!

But as others have said, you need to get yourself out of that company ASAP and hire your own lawyer to figure out what your own potential liabilities are. I'm not in the US and am not familiar with the details of HIPAA, but just based on what you've written I really don't think it's a good idea to stick around a place like that particularly given you know exactly what's going on. Even if you don't end up with any liabilities/troubles from what has transpired to date, it seems inevitable that something will happen eventually that will end spectacularly badly for everyone involved.

I understand the money is good, but I would seriously recommend finding another employer with a bit more knowledge of and respect for the law.
This is a nice sounding well intentioned pile of crap.

This guy doesn't like the concept of credit cards. That's all this boils down to.
Instead of making a detailed structured argument about what he feels the problem is, he tells a couple anecdotes about times credit cards didn't work about for people and about his personal feeling that credit cards aren't that great.

Ok fine. But then what's the takeaway? Not that there is any structural problem here or that something needs to change but that credit cards make this guy feel bad.

This kind of personal therapy masquerading as systemic or policy critique does nothing but rile people up with vague sentiments and directionless anger. It's a net loss for everybody involved.

For the record I'm not some kind of bank apologist, but the fact that there are serious structural problems with the way banks operate in the US makes this sort of infectual critique all the more frustrating
And to bring it back to the original poster - barely a day goes by that you don't need a ~hammer~ ... version control history.
Yes, it is very culturally specific so I guess that should be taken into account.

Here (Australia) it's common to have a 6 month probationary period where you can be fired or leave with basically no notice as employee and employer determine if it's a good fit, after that it becomes significantly harder to fire and the employee needs to give a few weeks of notice to leave. So a year is generally fine, you passed your test and were enough of an asset to make hiring you worthwhile and repay any onboarding overhead.

A few 1-year gigs in a row though, yeah, people will definitely ask.

Stolen resources.
A good article. Perhaps ironically, I would summarize the pivotal point of the article as, "be sure your lies will find you out". You could rephrase it as "deceitfulness will come back to bite you".

This applies even if you have good intentions. Honesty often comes with an initial cost that makes people turn away.
"extent" is irrelevant in this context because we are not comparing individual people but groups, and China has a much larger population than other countries. The real problem is not quantity but quality. IP theft done by better human beings is perfectly justifiable.
Then they could add a memory safe Java library dependency like Glide.

Yes it is called the NDK and the workflow that you describe doesn't support the bullet points I described.

If Rust wants to be embraced by Android developers it needs to up its game in Android Studio tooling, Binder generation and FFI integration.

Those instructions from 2017 are completely outdated given Android 3.5 and NDK r20.

GCC is no longer around, C++ support has improved quite substantially, static analysis tooling is integrated into NDK, Android Studio 3.7 (planned for next year) will bring support for mixed mode NDK libraries in AAR format.

> I may seem like an asshole, but so far it works

I do the same, it's amazing how well it works. As long as you genuinely try putting (what you think is) the company interest first, people actually appreciate you more if you don't do what you're told, but what you think is best. At least that's my experience so far. And it makes sense - because not everybody can afford to challenge the status quo & conventional wisdom, people that can do it can become very valuable.
Any distribution is good with these properties, e.g. just use standard normal distribution, it is available in every statistics libraries, but easy to generate from uniform random reals, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box%E2%80%93Muller_transform

Also wikipedia has an easy to understand summary too, in the two envelope problem article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_envelopes_problem#Randomiz...

Here it explains with numbers larger than 0, and uses exponential distribution (even easier to generate from uniform random variable).

> Should a business be allowed to refuse service to someone because they are black, for example?

Is it distasteful? Yeah. Is it a good business model? Nope. Should they be forced to do something they don't want to do? It's hard to say. Discriminatory behavior shouldn't happen, and where it creates material harm (employment, for instance) recourse must exist. Otherwise, I don't know, where no harm occurs it's difficult to justify forcing action.

> Does your answer change depending of whether that business has many competitors (e.g. a cake shop) or is a near-total monopoly (e.g. google)?

I'd suggest when something becomes essential and doesn't have competition then it becomes "de facto infrastructure" and open access rules are justified.

I'm trying to come to a conclusion myself here. Thanks for making me think this through!

How about having reasonable laws?

For example: To prohibit lenders to provide credit if the credit receiver is already so much in debt, that she's never able to service an additional loan?

Or how about capping annual interest rates at 15%? Making everything above that ursury and thus a criminal offense?

Now you may imply that this is the case in some socialist hellhole that hates business and you would be very wrong.

That's the law of the land in Switzerland, which, last I looked isn't exactly hating business.
Apple will don't for the user when it's good for their bottom line. When doing so can hurt them, as in defying the wishes of an authoritarian government that just so happens to run the country where the bulk of their manufacturing happens, they aren't quite so altruistic anymore.

Which I don't really have a problem with, except that they market themselves as doing everything for the user, and have cultivated a cult-like image supporting that.
I can't speak for Facebook, but I know that in some companies, it really is possible for individual contributers to successfully complete a PIP. I've known at least 3 coworkers at my workplace who have been put on PIPs. They were given realistic expectations that didn't require them to work 50+ hours per week, and they completed the plans successfully.

Of course, a manager who's put on a plan is generally gone in a few months, or they're allowed to step down into an individual contributor role.
Simpler and a more powerful way to network, learn and work online
It's a sad story; but PIP is really the pink slip; you take it as an advance notice that you're going to be fired, and start looking for jobs. I've heard stories of people completing PIP programs successfully, but quite honestly, I don't get it. Once you got to that point, you're not a good fit to the team and/or they don't appreciate you. Makes no sense to stay. I could understand staying with the company & switching teams/departments, but staying in the same place makes no sense to me.

And he based some of his example on "facts" tht were debunked in the 70s. In fact i think i remember one of his argument was so easily recognisable as debunked that i thought "Well, writting a paper on sociology without having ever read sociology papers, who taught this guy?". It's not even Donning-kruger, because he did not even had the basics.

I mean, come on, if it was a paper in any other field, even economy, people here at HN would have either ignored him or called him out.

Anyway he was dumb and should not have been fired (unless this essay looked like his work at Google).
>>Tech companies have to use a relatively high bar, because bad developers will drive them out of business

Most work in Tech companies even the top FAANG ones these days is crud work.

These people can only afford to pay well, because they make their money through advertising scale. Companies which depend on paying users, can't afford to pay that kind of salaries, nor waste their time interviewing people on rounds and rounds for proxy skills which have nothing to do with the job on hand.

In short only VC companies without profit pressure or web advertising companies pay well. Others don't have this luxury.
Can confirm, highly recommend! I spend a few months abroad a year and get hundreds in ATM rebates and even more in forex/transaction fee value. Though I wish I got more interest on cash balances.

EDIT: the biggest benefit though is the customer service. A US based person answers with no wait time and they deal with VISA for me. So much better and I'm not even high net worth by their standards!

However I also have a 'play' Robinhood account and if Schwab can roll out a better mobile app I would 100% move those equities over.

I wouldn’t call this kind of creep necessarily deceptive, but failing to manage expectations has essentially the same effect as intentionally creating hollow ones.
It is not just my opinion. I have friends that are HR managers and this view seems to be generally accepted among them.

The hiring is another issue. Over here there is always a 6 month 'trial' period when you hire someone. During those first six months, both the employer and the employee can end the contract without repercussions. This acknowledges that no screening/hiring process will be perfect, and that bad matches do happen.

Employment law and regulation is not easy to change as it impacts the lives of so many. My personal opinion is that even then this is just part of an even larger rethink we need in an age where most 'work' (not all) has long ceased to be a productive contribution to society, and has mealy become a game for a polarized redistribution of 'wealth', that is not just viciously usurping our lives and the environment, but due to its penchant for 'growth' those of future generations as well.
It's not if the target of complain is a Chinese company. A mistake people often make in moral reasoning is to assume that it's only qualitative, descriptive aspects of an action (ie excluding such things as who did it, whom was it done to, etc) that is relevant to how they should be assessed morally

Hong Kong’s Lost Generation: What does it mean to grow up fighting a superpower?
> Mindreading.

Your initial point that GP is making an unsubstantiated claim about the intentions and strategy of a large group of people with diverse motivations is a good one, but the claim is stated in a rather unproductive way that detracts from your argument (significantly).

> Get a time machine, tell that truck to James Madison. Tell it to John Stuart Mill.

This second argument seems like a straw man to me. The GP is not saying that we should apply new ideas about speech to past thinkers. GP is instead simply stating that the left happens to have these ideas about speech and that this is the intention of them.

> There is one proven way of raising consciousness and of expanding the possibilities of consciousness, and that's free speech. Every other mode of conceptualizing the kaleidoscope of realities leads to bad places. Every other mode other than free speech is a blasphemy against the Enlightenment. I will defend your right to blaspheme of course

Once again, I think that your argument here that free speech is the only way to raise consciousness is an interesting one with significant merit, but the subsequent straw man really derails it. You imply that the GP is "blaspheme[ing]" free speech, but GP does no such thing.

> I will defend your right to blaspheme of course, but reserve my right to sneer at your "dialectic" and at your deeply broken toxic simile about how "words and speech are exceedingly used like weapons".

This bit doesn't really add much. "words and speech are exceedingly used like weapons" is not a simile, and sneering at GP's use of the word dialectic + the scare quotes doesn't really add anything substantive to your previous assertions.

NB: I suspect that this comment will come off as overly patronizing, and I apologize in advance. I hope that this will at least add to a constructive discussion of this topic, and help other readers focus on some important points in the parent's post.

It's not really relative. It's very varying depending on your tasks, location and environment and kind of restaurant.

We were at a very stressful location and working at another location could be a huge relief because of lower load. I would imagine the work environment would have to go to absolute trash for the dev job to come close.

If you say restaurant, it feel like it's not fast food, and the average differences in wages, hours, stress level and customer appreciation between establishments called restaurants vs fast food places is probably quite significant.
