I would in general agree if some systemd core team members weren't receiving actual death threats. When this becomes a common occurence you have to wonder what are the systemic causes for that.

Or do you also think that far-right-wing people should not be called out for the wrongness when their community repeatedly fails to condemn and take action for years leading the extremist faction to eventually run over people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottesville_car_attack) ?

I'm unclear that the verb 'died out' is helpful to understanding here.

'survived longest' makes more sense - the point is that Homo erectus died out everywhere else much earlier.
>It might shock you, but this is far from the first time an airliner crashed due to fixable problems.

It may shock you that pilot error is the leading cause of airline crashes.

Nevertheless, to your point these crashes occurred due to "fixable problems" sure...and anytime a plane crashes due to "fisable problems" legally it goes without saying there was negligence. But what seems to be ignored here is there was more than negligence...based on the documents already made publicly available the company knowingly shipped the planes with the issue.

>Time heals all wounds, so to speak.

Well I'm sure that was what the managers thought when they minimized the engineers concerns about these aircraft...then again you don't see very many Zeppelins flying around nowadays.
As lots of commenters mentioned, this is a nice try, but human (and corporate) nature dooms it.

The only way to make this kind of thing work, is to legislate salary transparency.

That may seem to disincentivize individual excellence (by removing the rewards), but I'd say that it's OK to pay Bob more than Joe, as long as you are willing to justify that increase in wages. As a manager, I had to fight like hell to get promotions and increases for my team, so I always had this information handy.

The other way to incentivize excellence and effort is through bonuses, but these could easily become opaque, thus, continuing the issue.

In academia, salaries tend to be [relatively] low, so perks become the currency.

Human nature dictates that we always want to be "better than" our peers (thus making them "not-peers"). We always seem to find ways to do end-runs around the system.

I'm fairly glad to be out of the corporate rat-race. I'm doing my own thing, making less than I ever have, and loving every minute of it.
I'm sorry, I completely missed that you were relating it to the agency's problem.

I thought you were just giving any paradox as an example of a difficult problem, and could have given any.

I don't quite follow the analogy with this agency's policies, could you make it a bit more clear? What are the "boxes" in this case?
Oh, sorry, didn't realize that. It still doesn't work, though, as the example of 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 + 1 = 59 * 509 shows.

Not sure why you would say that, given that we've been answering legal questions for weeks now under the YC SUS program and have been surfing 5 star ratings on our Facebook page:

http://helplicit.com/

The reason we're going beyond is because we've been getting questions from other domains as well, and are just following what our existing customers are asking us for.
Even 5EB would be a stretch for 2013. 5ZB is flat-out impossible. As another poster points out, that's years' worth of total worldwide drive shipments (most sources put it at less than 1ZB in 2013). Large buyers are further constrained by the fact that their demand can cause price spikes even at much lower percentages of the total. Not even No Such Agency has that kind of budget. The Utah facility also isn't physically big enough for that figure to hold. I work on large storage systems at one of those large buyers, and I've toured one of the several data centers where ours live. NSA's Utah data center looks to be on approximately the same scale, not orders of magnitude bigger. It's further plagued by power problems, which is another constraint on total size.

So I looked into that quote from the NSA director. What was actually said, apparently, was that the center was designed to hold up to 5ZB, not that it actually did. That seems to be a design based on some extremely optimistic assumptions about future drive density, power consumption, and cost. Needless to say, those assumptions were a bit silly at the time and have only seemed more so in retrospect.

P.S. It looks like TechCrunch came to almost exactly the same conclusions that I did, for very similar reasons. https://techcrunch.com/2013/07/24/the-nsas-massive-utah-data...

Well, what I was getting at is that even though I'm an "expert" I couldn't provide what you claim to be able to do.

Do you really think you can any non-trivial answer in those extremely broad fields?

We're dancing around a reason that the article misses: a lot of hiring decisions are discriminatory.

If they were confident about having processes with no discrimination, it would likely be advantageous to the company to show their cards and give the feedback.
Sure, I am not discounting Denmark has smart computer scientists, nor that the U.S. has better ones, (I'm European myself), just that from my experience the European tech scene is slower on picking up the latest tech, (which is different from educational institutions).

To be rejected from hundreds of jobs suggest you should reevaluate how you approach the entire problem.

At the very basic level you should understand what are the expectations of the employer and whether you can fill those expectations. Try to find and talk to people at those positions you are applying to. Try to understand where you fall short.
>> Remember, the issue here wasn't with the flight characteristics per se, it was penny pinching administrators who removed redundancy from a critical system to save (and attempt to mark up) a couple hundred dollars per plane.

This sounds good (blame it on cheapo mgmt) but really is not true. For one, the system never had redundant sensors, so they couldn't have been "removed". Secondly, the systems were designed by engineers -- with the mandate of no retraining necessary, true -- but I don't see where anybody stood up and said this is a failed/doomed system (except outsiders, after the fact). Third, "hundreds of dollars" is a total joke. The point of compatibility with previous 737s was a major selling point, worth billions of dollars in orders from airlines who liked the 737, instead of requiring them to choose between an entirely new Boeing design vs a semi-familiar (for many airlines) Airbus. It also had side effects of getting to market faster and reducing recertification and training expenses, likely totalling billions in additional savings.

>>I have always felt certain anxiety when thinking about my salary and only guessing what my colleagues might be earning.<<

I can tell you that anxiety of not knowing is better than the anger/disappointment/a whole host of other destructive emotions after you do know. Companies don't want to deal with this. It can easily get ugly.

In my case, my boss'boss actually had the balls to tell me that he will not be terrorized by me suggesting there are greener pastures out there. Looking back it was a big mistake. Should have waited for an offer and then use this information.

Moral of the story. Be careful what you wish for.
Options in a startup are one thing (and most likely will be worth $0). Options in a big tech company are something else entirely. Granted big tech companies these days pretty much all do RSUs but Google, for example, did options up until 2008 or so.

So this is what I'm talking about when I say that non-salary compensation can easily eclipse your salary at a big tech company.

I don't know about this specific case; I was only taking issue with the idea of pure falsificationism to distinguish science from pseudo-science. There are other demarcations (listed in the SEP article linked a few comments ago) which may also list the computational theory of mind as pseudo-scientific, but not just because it's unfalsifiable (if it really is).

By rolling with an approved and expensed option, which eliminates certain amount of ambiguity, does not imply that Uber is part of a cartel; irrespective of it's licensing woes and/or impending banishment from multiple lucrative markets. At present, it does not even enjoy a majority position to form an alliance, let alone collude with locally competitive operators.

Think about it the other way around — Java, Python, JavaScript all have garbage collectors. What language are those GCs written in? How does the runtime keep track of the objects in those languages, and how is the lifecycle for that tracking managed?

"Writing a GC in C" (or equivalent language) is not so much a strange thing as it is an inevitability.

What's the point of a patch release for an API?

If you publish API version 1.0.0, and then internally you fix something and publish 1.0.1 (remember: a patch doesn't change the interface at all), should you continue to serve both the 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 APIs? How are they different from the consumer's perspective? What if your reason to release 1.0.1 is to fix a security issue - in what world is it ethical to continue to serve 1.0.0? If you can discontinue serving 1.0.0 at any time (because of a security patch released with 1.0.1), then you can't offer any long-term durability guarantees for early patch versions, and so indeed, offering older patch versions (when newer patches didn't fix security issues) is more likely to break your consumers when you're forced to discontinue older patch versions for security reasons, than if you refused to serve patch-level variants in the first place.

Because you, as upstream, have no control over whether the pure addition of fields will break downstream (since downstream may or may not be strict about what they accept), you should only offer semantically versioned minor releases if you're willing to guarantee durability for earlier minor versions, and can maintain multiple minor versions of your API in parallel. If not, then be explicit about the potential of your changes to break downstream - use timestamps and document sunset dates.

I disagree, image compression is still highly relevant and will stay relevant for a long time. It’s not about hosting costs and hosting bandwidth, it’s about user bandwidth.

I frequently travel between countries by train and bus and when outside cities it’s almost impossible to get any non-optimized page to load. And this doesn’t even only extend to the time spent inside the train. Depending on the country (all developed) and which phone operator my phone decides to switch to, I have slow mobile internet about half of the time. This is also one of the reasons why I prefer to read HN over other sites: HN loads, others don’t.

Most images on a modern website don’t really contribute anything substantial but are merely decorative. Image quality loss should therefore not be a problem for ~90% of images.
