With 1.83 billion metric tons shipped annually (2017), and assuming all ships are loaded full with 120'000 metric tons (post-Panamax limit), there are around 15'000 such shipments yearly. Which begs the question, why isn't the impact higher?

>more money in your pockets is to get paid more money

Sure, I agree with you on that. You have to consider the effects on an additional unit of effort put in at that job. Progressive taxation sets up steeply diminishing returns on that marginal effort. And incentives to spend that effort on alternatives with better returns, like shopping for tax-sheltered investments. Because a salary's not the only income professionals have. So you can effectively make tradeoffs between revenue streams with different tax rates, one of which happens to be your job.

This clearly disincentivizes creating additional value for society through an additional unit of effort at that job, and it's a result of market structure.

Is this really true? It seems like social media has a relatively limited impact on companies/countries on any scale longer than a week. Most social media outrage seems to just result in an apology by the company and perhaps some weak action, and everybody forgets about it a few days later.

Remember when the whole internet collectively tried to stop the FCC from repealing net neutrality? Or Article 13? Or the constant complaints about demonetization of content on YouTube? Internet mobs never seem to get anything meaningful done.

The abuses described in the Verge article [0] are painful to hear about. Just try and read the CEO's Slack screed about "teaching accountability" without sounding like a DreamWorks villain. Think about the hours those employees were forced to work, the time off they were deprived, the family trips and plans repeatedly disrupted with the slimmest of notice, if any. The Away management team comes across as manipulative and maximally exploitative at the expense of their employees' well-beings, topped off with a CEO intent on forcing her abysmal work-life balance and sleep schedule on the rest of her staff.

With that all laid out, Graham's flippant comment that companies can "safely ignore" backlash against such business practices strikes me as callous and out-of-touch, particularly given his role in the venture-funded system which fosters such conditions in the first place. Another dispatch from the world of rich guys that would have the rest of us slaving away in China's 9-9-6 model [1], interspersed in their feeds with reports of the little moments with family and friends that they'd rather we exchange for a few extra percentage points on their returns.

I promise I'll stop being argumentative after this, but in the meantime - not necessarily. Simpson's Paradox might get triggered where better healthcare encourages more marginal people to have children/migrate to the better healthcare/whatever. There is no single statistic or even a small batch that is safe to make uninformed decisions on.

This is optimising a complex system. It needs to be done slowly, holistically and with statistics and science. Just because one part is failing doesn't mean that the system is out of control. It might be out of control, but the evidence needs to be quite deep to conclude that because the system is very complicated. A response powered by emotions, anecdotes or silver bullet stats probably feels right but is likely to do more damage than good. This is a field where high-functioning sociopaths should be given a lot of room to make decisions; they are the ones who can make hard decisions and get to a greatest-good-greatest-number style outcomes despite that fact that gut-wrenchingly unfair and tragic thing happen every day in the world of healthcare.

What it comes down to is people die and often suffer. The fact that people are observed to die in the hospital system is not evidence. Even aggregate stats getting worse is not necessarily a problem. Arguments have to talk thoroughly about what the costs and benefits of any change is likely to be and we have to accept that death is a cost that the healthcare system is going to pay whether we like it or not; because that really is an elephant in the room with these sort of decisions.
Although I favor privacy and I'm against backdoors, I am not entirely sure how I feel about this. Luckily, Apple says they cannot do it; but, what if they could?

The individual is dead and there is no question about his guilt. This is not a case of rushing to judgement, like was done with Richard Jewell,

In this particular case, if not a terrorist, this guy had issues. Should we be able to access his phone to see what warning signs there were, which might help us identify others with similar issues?

If indeed a terrorist and working with others, shouldn't we be able to get information that might help identify those others?

How much privacy do you give a dead terrorist/criminal?

Thank you! I haven't gone into detail about these in the book. This is very much the standard Engineering Manager route that people would find in most places in industry right now.

However - if you don't mind - I would love to use those as examples in the final chapters where I mention the opportunities offered by moving into start-ups, and also where our managers will be given more autonomy to set the culture of a wider organization (of which that culture could involve much looser management structures).

Great pointers, thank you.

"This is the exact "split node" scenario I described earlier; applying bold near the start of a text node necessarily has to split the text node into three parts (before, bold, and after)."

Not sure why you split it up into sections. In my CRDT implementation, I would add meta-data to each character, with the boolean property which is either bold or not. It's certainly cumbersome to keep the cursor at the right place when inserts are being made, but it's doable. https://pierrehedkvist.com/posts/1-creating-a-collaborative-...

The degree to which everything runs on this sort of system is kind of horrifying, once you're exposed to enough things like this for that to sink in.

Relatedly, I guess my contribution to the broader thread would be:

Almost no-one knows what they're doing, let alone is much good at it—so few, in fact, that society and the economy (and everything else) basically run on a massive and super-serious game of playing pretend. Yes, even that big important organization (public or private) where you expect everyone to be pretty damn competent. The difference between them and some normal place is that 5% of their people are impressively good at their jobs, rather than 2%.
Conversely, the value you place on some endeavor may be completely unrecognized by everyone else, ie. the market. That does not mean the endeavor is worthless.
You just read it backwards, right? :-)

That's a good point though, and I do mention it in the book. I talk about how when promoting people it's good to define a 30-60-90 day plan (although there are many similar frameworks) and bake in a "no bad feelings" back-out clause if they don't enjoy doing that particular job. We've had that happen at our company numerous times.

Additionally, in the later chapter on defining management and individual contributor tracks, it does talk about levelling them in a such a way that allows mobility back and forth. People shouldn't get stuck going through the one-way management door. It's perfectly fine to go back (even though it's not really "back", it's just "across").
> I really wonder what people are disagreeing with.

I think it's the use of brash language.
It's not about how many years of warning there was. It's about making users of the language to rewrite by mandate as opposed to the new features being incrementally adoptable into existing code bases. Sure, that means there are some language changes you never get to make.

Java, JavaScript, C, and C++, for example don't break investment in old code like Python 3 did. They form a reasonable baseline.
C# isn't exactly quiet about this property, and yes, it can be annoying from an API perspective, but in C# this was likely a pragmatic choice to remain compatible (and familiar) with C++, COM, etc. where most developers would be coming from.

API members that operate on code points universally take a string and an index.

That being said, treating strings as arrays of characters is fraught with peril in most cases anyway. You can't trivially reverse strings in any encoding, as you need to reverse the sequence of grapheme clusters (to account for diacritics, etc.). You can't trivially truncate strings either, for pretty much the same reason. You can't trivially grab a single character from the middle of a string, again, for the same reason. So basically, indexing, reversing, truncating, copying a subsequence, etc. are all not trivially possible regardless of the encoding. UTF-16 is not the main problem here, as even in UTF-32 it'd be broken.

What I don't understand is why you'd want to shut down the discussion. Why object, not merely to a specific statement a "medical conservative" made, but to their very existence?

Why should we trust the system to high-functioning sociopaths, as you said, and not listen to both sides and have a vigorous and ongoing debate?

You're right that people die, and will continue to die, in medical care. And it's a difficult and emotional subject. And people don't always make the best decisions. But I'd still rather have public discussion about every little detail rather than trust insiders (with their own, sometimes perverse, motivations) implicitly.
You hit the nail on the head. The tech needs to be extended more than a week without massive necrosis (which occurred in 4/10 livers in the study).

Not sure which markers, to be honest, but there should be a decent range of apoptotic factors that can be sampled.

The bank doesn’t store your money, it turns around and lends it to someone else, hoping that the interest it receives on that debt (eg. a mortgage) is greater than the interest it pays you.
While I don’t agree with the overall ‘money is debt’ statement, it is definitely true that you lend your money to the bank. You don’t park it like a car. This is why there can be times that you ask for your money and they don’t have it (the reason for FDIC insurance).

I think the point is that it isn't a 'public sentiment'. Public sentiment would imply some sort of representative sample. Twitter people engaging in Twitter mob behaviour is not representative. It's like calling the Campus students freakouts when some conservative speaker visit, as 'public sentiment'.

>You have also bought into the framing the company has used to make itself seem like the victim by referring to "mobs" having power,

That's exactly what it was. It wasn't a balanced view on this CEO or company culture. It wasn't even that bad. I remember reading the Verge article, and thinking "Meh". There was one circumstance when the team was asked to work New Years Day in return for getting a month off. Everyone would make that choice. But OK, Korey clear set high expectations and created a culture where working a high number of hours was encouraged - is that bad? "Meh". It's an interesting case study but a investigative report from the The Verge is overkill.

And this is another aspect to this story, this mob behaviour was triggered by 'The Verge', itself a billion-dollar conglomerate owned in part by NBCUniversal, another global media conglomorate. 'Public Sentiment' indeed.
