I've seen the most basic version of this as a chart with two axes:

Axis 1: How much political influence does this person have?

Axis 2: How easy are they to influence?

Some key points:
- Axis 2 is from your perspective

- It's good to keep in mind that the chart might look different for other people

As an example: you might find it easy to influence person B who only has mid-level influence.

However, Person B might be able to influence someone you have no chance of influencing.

You can also add other dimensions such as "What does each person value e.g. money/influence/respect" etc

> Nobody really cares about your personal Facebook messages to your friends and family. You're not that important.

This is demonstrably false. Companies are very interested in your private communications and the buying and selling of your personal private data is a multi-billion dollar industry. Governments also have an interest in your data because they can flag you for whatever the current administration finds distasteful. That might mean identifying threats to those in power like activists, or (as we've seen in other places) attempts to hunt down whatever they consider "evil" like homosexuals

The issue isn't privacy vs security. Loss of privacy is also loss of security.
That's so stressful. We've asked every new hire to take a week of PTO during their first month. I wish more places did that - you need time to adjust while switching jobs. But, you're typically stressed while looking for a new job, so you can't really relax until you have a new job and steady income + benefits again.
Remember - we don't actually need social media. Encrypted email is enough to protect your actual private communication so you can revolt or share a little illegal material with a few friends. It's not fair to ignore the network effect here. And what do we, as a society, gain from social media? Nothing! It's addicting us, wearing down our critical thinking, and it's stopping you from going outside.
This is such a wierd response. Like, you can disagree without calling the GP a liar.

He's not literally saying they're valued at zero. He's saying you shouldn't let RSUs (which are not wealth, but contractual promises of future wealth) or options (which are lottery tickets) affect your career decisions.

If the difference between vesting vs. not vesting is a month or two, stick around. But most of the time you shouldn't take promises of future wealth in lieu of hard cash.

Read between the lines. You don't need to take everything literally.
If you value living a moral/ethical life, then working for a company that operates immorally/unethically would be bad.

If your only considering career benefits in terms of career advancement compensation, then perhaps doing the right thing won't be "beneficial" to you.

However, if you aim to be a good person, doing the right thing is the correct path.
The problem is that the freight operators habitually defer maintenance. Most trackage and crossings are in a poor state of repair. Updates would require fixing the backlog.

One could make the argument that wealth inequality is higher than it was in previous eras.

But there's always been a major disparity between capital owners and everyone else. Even in the 60s. And certainly at the turn of the century (1850-1920), when US antitrust law was actually first created.

So maybe media centralization? But the 1960s featured a limited number of media channels controlled by a few owners (albeit with some paragons of objective, journalistic integrity). And the turn of the century was the heyday of centralized newspaper control.

I'm honestly casting about for an external why and am hard-pressed to enunciate a coherent narrative.

And in lieu of one, the only thing that's left are that people simply aren't actively protesting.

Whether they're making that choice because of hopelessness or laziness, I don't really care. Because ultimately, it's a choice.

Make the other one.

Yeah, HR is a dangerous tool. Know the rules and intent before using.

Frankly, if you are to the point where HR is even in the conversation, then you really need to have a large financial incentive to stay around. The reward better be worth the risk.

The tension between privacy and child abuse is laid out in the linked NYT piece (which I also recommend reading): many of the images and videos of child sex abuse are created because they can be shared. They can be shared because the creators have some confidence they can do so without getting caught. Once the content is discovered, the authorities also have a difficult time finding that child, who may still be in danger. This situation is orthogonal to the (very necessary) steps you outlined.
Legally it doesn't make much sense to gather a ton of data and say "well something might be in there" and now nobody ever sees it.

Pretty easy to just make big buckets of data nobody ever sees...
A culture having "less issues with this" seems to be strongly associated with that culture having conservative views and more socioeconomic issues. I see more women programmers coming out of conservative poor Asian countries than progressive wealthy Nordic countries. I get the impression women are pushed into programming for reasons of economic stress or incentives in countries where less of a programming gender gap exists. To me if a country having less of a gender gap in programming implies either sexism or economic stress.

You can really interpret the prevalence of trans women in programming as being related to nurture or nature. The data point in a vacuum doesn't obviously point to either conclusion.
Flying easily adds 1-3 hours to the trip just for bullshit and boarding and stuff so there is a certain distance where the high speed trains are faster.

It's also way more comfortable and relaxed. I prefer train over driving when I'm going somewhere too.. well until I discovered lane assist functions in modern cars that is :)

But I can't yet work while driving so I guess the train wins in overall productivity.

Flying is also a massive hit to the environment so I try to minimise it. So far I've avoided three roundtrips with planes and driven my car instead, but I've had to fly twice when going Oslo->Helsinki->Oslo.. I should probably have driven there too but for this instance time was of the essence.

CLOS started as a portable library for Common Lisp. It was implemented as an embedded language extension and provides on the user level a set of macros: DEFCLASS, DEFGENERIC, DEFMETHOD, etc...

There is no reason such an embedded DSL can't have documentation, find widespread use etc. In the Lisp world, there are a bunch of examples like these - where DSLs are written for larger groups of uses and not just the original implementors.

One has to understand though, that not all attempts have the same quality and adoption. But that's fine in the Lisp world: one can do language experiments - if tools are designed for larger groups, one can just put more effort into them to improve the quality for non-implementors.

> So I don't currently use Apple products, does this mean that people can use their own OpenID Connect identity providers with Apple ... or is this just for using Apple's Identity Provider to allow your own apps to log-in via your Apple account?

The latter - like other IDPs that support OIDC, an website can now use Apple for authentication with the same libraries as they use for Google, Microsoft, etc.

> Open ID Connect is essentially a an OAuth2 implementation.

OpenID Connect is an OAuth2 profile.

> The original Open ID 1.0 concept, where you could use any identity provider with any service provider, is pretty much dead.

The functionality is there, but is optional. As a result, it is seldomly used.

OpenID 1.0 supported using arbitrary OPs, but there was no actual organizational trust there:

- if the OP and RP had an interoperability issue, the first time it would be seen would be with an end-user. In many cases, the only way the OP/RP would know there was an issue would be when the end-user reported it.
- if the OP messed up authentication and let the wrong person in, the RP had no recourse.
- if the OP went away, you could very well have no alternative mechanism to recover the user account on the RP side
- neither side necessarily took responsibility for the user education of how a URL ("what is a Earl?") could be used for authentication

Even in its heyday, there were 10x more OpenID 2.0 OPs than RPs because of these challenges. In my opinion, it was more that the very concept was not ready for the market. That is why with OpenID Connect, most parties have not deployed this sort of user-centric Bring-your-own-OP approach even though it is a capability of the profile.
Your personal attack is evidence you lack a solid argument.

Why should anyone give a shit? Sharing unlimited copies of child abuse videos does not actually hurt anyone.

You don't get to choose your parents. You choose your friends, your career, etc. If economic pressure means you can't choose where you live, you can be left miserable or abused with no way out.

Do you know of any examples of a particular business insisting an authoritarian regime implement pro-democratic changes before opening a business venture?
I agree, switching often is kind of a self correcting phenomenon - if you are always switching to places that pay significantly more, once switching often starts to hurt you, you will just stay at your current place until you’ve been there long enough for it to not hurt you.

However, in terms of leveling/promotions, I think this stops pretty early. And it’s also possible to end up somewhere like Netflix where there may not be a place paying better for your experience/level. In particular it seems you need to grind out more than 2 years to get promoted to a managerial position or for any n>4, go from Ln to Ln+1 (except for maybe at a fast growing startup). So once you have 5 years experience you might be able to keep getting pay increases, unless you’re already near the top of market, but probably won’t get title promotions

My strong belief is that the PRIVILEGE to 'complain' (I usually use a different word) about the outcome depends on exercising the RIGHT to vote.

I've always made time to vote, and at least read the voter's pamphlet if not also further sources to attempt to make that vote an informed one.
I agree with you - you're optimizing for the most likely scenario. My point is even if you play your cards right, you still might lose. In other words, it's better to be lucky than good.

There are different ways/philosophies to triage; but the fact remains that you have to triage. That's all I wanted to argue. You have to pick and choose what to work on, so, in the context of environmental-protections, it's worth arguing the merits of different problems/solutions IMO.
There's a lot of digital advocacy and letter writing out there that sometimes has me all "Man does anyone do anything that produces a result?".

This thinking is counter to acknowledging the modern automation revolution. Wealth and productivity are largely becoming detached from people, and as such the sources of revenue western nations use to fund entitlements wouldn't be going to go away as people age out of hard labor years if the tax burden was on the corporate entities rather than individual income / social security / etc taxes.

The money is still there and will likely not go anywhere except into fewer hands and pockets. Its up to societies to actually adjust their tax model to curtail it.

This is a dishonest article with a misleading, attention-grabbing, clickbait-worthy headline, and is no different to other reporting recently (e.g. Stallman) where quotes are taken out of context and misrepresented into something completely different to fit the writer's narrative.

I'm 100% sure that if you asked the Microsoft CEO if Windows is important, he will confirm that it is in fact important to Microsoft. The headline "Microsoft doesn’t think Windows is important anymore" is extrapolated from a quote of Nadella's where he is discussing the new Neo and Duo devices. Read in the original context you can see that at no point does he say that Windows is not important to Microsoft, he is just giving some justification for not wanting to revive the Windows Mobile OS.

A lot of old people who witnessed it miss Soviet Union. It was better in many aspects. The social aspects were better, the social equality was better, you had guaranteed work place, you had guaranteed home, you had guaranteed education. Young people have their brains washed by modern propaganda, but not let fool yourself.

That said, I think that European model is even better. Capitalism with social benefits sounds like the best of both world. Unfortunately modern Russia is more like wicked extreme capitalism. They are bouncing from one extreme to another.

When I was an intern at an Aerospace org, I had a mentor that was the head of engineering of several smaller companies at once emphasize one point - Always align yourself positively with people 2-3 levels of leadership above you. That is, if necessary, skirt around your direct report(s) if you have something to bring to the table for higher up people. It is how you move up faster, but of course, strains your short term relationship with your direct report. Haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but maybe others can chime in?
It can protect your career when you are being asked to do something that might be illegal. Especially if you have a security clearance of some sort and it would violate it.

This might be an important distinction between ethical and moral. Standing up against unethical behavior protects one career, but if the behavior is ethical but immoral (that is to say, it violates your own standards but is deemed acceptable in the larger community) then it doesn't really protect one's career. But the self image protection might still be worth it.
> I'm not entirely sure how those four examples are supposedly invalidated by giving them a clever nickname.

They're not. A number of horrible things will happen as a result of pervasive end to end encryption.

However.

You have to run the numbers here. On the one hand, perhaps a bit more crime, some of which horrible. On the other hand, the privacy of everyone.

It's a hard sell. Just picture a politician on live television having to choose between having this cute little child being raped for years before they commit suicide (letting the perpetrators off the hook), or ramp up the surveillance a bit. Picture them choosing rape.

Nevermind the false dichotomy. The horrible fact is, the value of human life is not infinite. A mere inconvenience, suffered by enough people, is worth killing a few. Such situations rarely present themselves. (We rarely condone murder in the name of the betterment of humanity: some tried, didn't go so well.) End to end encryption (and metadata hiding while we're at it), is such a situation. The harm, though hard to perceive, is significant, affects everyone, and can potentially grow into full blown totalitarianism (possibly enforced by incentives rather than violent policing).

Preventing that is totally worth killing a few children… or at least spend resources on properly policing the problem, like going undercover.

Still, go say that on TV. I'm not even sure I'm safe writing it here.
Seems the temp table is around for the duration of the connection, or until dropped (we avoid stored procs)?

We do a lot of queries like

select x.a, (select count(y.b) from tableY y where y.id = x.id) as cnt
from tableX x where x.ref = :ref
where cnt > 0

Typically a lot more going on than this, but this gets the point across I think. Would we have to drop for each select then?
If one wanted to encourage tourism, call it Persia. Many places have a different foreign name than internal name. It isn't (usually) disrespectful.
I've actually found myself more and more disappointed that FROM isn't the first clause in the query, it'd be really nice to express those queries as WITH, FROM, GROUP BY, HAVING, WHERE, SELECT, ORDER BY, LIMIT as that's usually the way I consider queries - granting HAVING is sort of a free card here, I don't use it enough to place it accurately, but being near WHERE or GROUP BY makes a lot of sense.
Of course. That's exactly why they don't want E2E encryption.
