His complaint wasn't that Microsoft (or himself) didn't make money, it's that Microsoft became complacent and lost the will to innovate.

Microsoft made plenty of money between 1998 and 2014. They also basically ceased innovating. I was a child and teenager during Microsoft's glory days from 1985-2000. They were basically unstoppable: if you thought you had a good software-related idea, Microsoft was already doing it, doing it better, and bringing some nasty market-power tricks to bear (much like Google in their glory days from ~2000-2015). I started my career soon after the DoJ consent decree, and Microsoft became a joke. They were the 800 lb. gorilla that sat in the corner milking their Windows/IE/Office monopolies (and eventually losing them) while the web became a bigger platform than Windows ever was.

Echoing another commenter, it's absolutely okay to be upset about things that run-of-the mill.

From what I've seen, junior staff protest-quitting has little to no impact, as they're generally viewed by higher ups as easily replaceable.

Senior level people in meaningful positions (as opposed to figureheads) are harder to replace, and protest-quitting will have more impact, but in most cases, those impacts tend to be short-term, especially with larger organizations.

We make value judgements all the time. Reddit puts a NSFW spoiler on violence, porn, etc. Is that considered censorship?

Is it really censorship if r/t_d had violated numerous Reddit ToS rules? Rules which all users agreed on when signing up.

Make no mistake, it's a no brainer to ban a community that is both outwardly hateful, and regularly abuses the rules of the site they're hosted on.

Let's be honest and realize that for some tech senior execs, they've been made aware of these issues many times in the past.

I'm not getting into whether it's right or not to have a code of conduct, just whether these statements or actions are really deserving of much if anything.

What I find most interesting about all of this "woke" behavior from Ellen Pao and Alexis Ohanian is this:

A few years ago, when racism was brought up on social media during the 2016 US election and a Canadian federal election, Alexis publicly pushed back.

Similarly, activists complained that Pao hired people who had worked at Reddit and previously discounted policies against homophobic, bigoted, racist, etc subreddits and comments/harassment.

People like these were in charge of a world famous, social media site where they were more aware than many others in tech about the very things they are now aghast over.

To me, it's a bit like if I'm telling a software manager about bugs in some banking application that can sometimes deduct money from random accounts and they're like "Ship it, ship it anyway!" lol.
Did you write this comment with a voice assistant?
>De-platforming works very effectively

It does, and it is wonderful if those platforms are following along with the same narrative as you at a given point in time.

Google, Reddit et al. have shown themselves to pretty flexible when it comes to their morals though, particularly when it comes to the needs and wants of the Chinese government and their investors, so while you may be clapping your hands to your ideological opponents being "de-platformed" today, it could very well be you tomorrow.

IANAL, can someone please elaborate? This sounds wrong in several ways, one of which being that Google results are almost exclusively scraped from somewhere else already.

Yeah, some of that behavior is constrained given the paper trail that is left when interviewers have to communicate through collaboration tools. People are on their best behavior if they know they might get caught.
I think one of the issues with these analyses of the fatality rate is that it is variable and clearly increases when medical systems are overloaded. This creates an issue with analyses like these which are "technically" correct but don't take into account the fatality rate would be higher if we were not successful in "flattening the curve."

What it suggests is that to monitor your own safety you should keep track of number of cases in your area as well as medical resource usage.

Neglecting and suppressing emotions definitely doesn't improve mental health. The belief that everything must be happy and bring pleasure is delusional and hurtful.
Why give them up? Have 75% of the battery life be used for all of those activities, but build the phone so you could still make calls and send text messages for a longer while later.

Also - Smartwatches are silly IMHO; and people can be alerted just fine with a voice or text message.
I think one thing that makes them stagnate is the sheer magnitude of their advertising business. Google is not interested in expanding to other things unless it is either furthering the amount of data they are collecting for advertising, or it has some massive run rate. That is why they are infamous for canning projects that are actually working, they just are not working big enough for google to care past its many billions advertising.
Econ 101 distinguishes between buyers with market power and buyers without.

You also need to distinguish between the expectations channel and the purchase channel. The Fed announcing it's going to pump money into the economy decreases expectations of a severe ongoing recession, which reduces the probability of default, which raises bond prices.

Great quote from TFA:

> Once you start assigning priorities from a list, anything else than “Highest” is a passive-aggressive way of saying “No”.

What can be gamed will be gamed. Once you start applying the equation "feature = good & defect = bad" or assigning arbitrary priorities "high, really high, now, yesterday", you are in effect providing opportunity to game the system.

Story points have this quality. More points are good, less points are bad. Let the games begin.

The value of a ticket / work-item comes strictly from the changes made to the underlying system. The "diff" effectively. The labels and types that we assign to work-items don't actually add any real value to the system.
>> that could actually turn some non-Trump voters into Trump voters

That ship has already sailed most likely. I voted Libertarian in 2016 as I have for every presidential election that I have voted in.

2020 there is a high probability that I will vote Republican for president for the first time in my life, not for sure yet but it is EXACTLY because of the extreme support for censorship, de-platforming and cancel culture that is coming from the Authoritarian left that has my vote is wavering
I have cells in a notebook on Google Colab that I need to run at a given time every day.

> I feel like this entire movement is really taking away credit from the "ok" and "good" cops.

I'd really like them to step up. Where's the intervention and condemnation from the presumed silent majority of good cops in any of these incidents?

https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/31/21276044/police-violence-...

Here's a video of an old man being attacked by police in Buffalo, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/us/buffalo-police-shove-p... How many of the presumed silent majority walked by him as he bled on the ground? How many have stood up and said, the people who did this don't stand for what I stand for. How many cops are demanding reform and threatening to quit otherwise?

The Buffalo police initially lied about how this man was hurt, claiming he "tripped and fell", https://twitter.com/JeffRussoWKBW/status/1268712651292643334.... Where's the condemnation of that from the officers who were on the scene? And even if we presume this guy gets justice, where's justice for the presumed many people who aren't sympathetic old white dudes whose assault was captured on camera? They would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the video, and indeed they may still get away with it.

Where are the police unions in taking a stand against this kind of violence?

I dunno, like you I don't currently believe that we should entirely eliminate police from our societies. But if the silent majority of good cops we presume exists isn't willing to take a stand against what is clearly evil in their ranks, how good are their actions, really? Kneeling doesn't get you very far.
I've browsed TD since it's inception and haven't seen any violent, hateful, or racist posts.

That's not to say that they haven't ever existed, but certainly not anything remotely close to how it's perceived. And definitely not any worse than you would see right now on r/politics.
The answer to your first question is in your last paragraph. CSV is an abysmal format for data exchange because the standards are weak and implementations are extremely varied.

I'd say not worried at all in the long term and maybe slightly worried in the short term. Microsoft is doing fine after a few years of bad returns. The successor companies to AT&T and Standard Oil did fine.
> You're all going to think I am a crazy, but I instead elected to tape my mouth closed with 3m tape.

It does sound a little crazy, but only because I'm surprised there's not a more comfortable solution. Tape on my mouth would prevent me from falling asleep.

Is there not some sort of mouthguard that blocks airflow, and thereby achieves the same result in a more comfortable, less sticky situation?
I've had more and more trouble sleeping as I age, and in the past 2 years it's gotten way worse. I've tried all manner of things and had put off getting the dreem for a while since it was so expensive. I've been to the doctor who sent me for blood tests and also referred me to a urologist, but everything came back normal.

My specific issue: I get up in the night to urinate consistently at least 1-2 times per night, and then usually have a very difficult time getting back to sleep -- since my body seems to think it's time to wake up at that point, and starts thinking about literally everything. I'm a fairly anxious person by nature as well, which doesn't help my situation.

It seems as though there's a vicious cycle that I don't know how to deal with well, where I have a bad night of sleep, then try to go to bed early the next night, but it doesn't seem to help, and it messes up my sleep schedule a lot, which leads to even more problems.

I'm in the middle of what dreem calls their "sleep restructuring program", which is based on CBTI. What it's having me do right now is basically restrict my sleep to a short 6 hour and 45 minute window, with emphasis on a consistent wake time. The idea is to focus on increasing sleep efficiency -- basically time asleep divided by time in bed. As you increase sleep efficiency it gradually widens the sleep window.

In addition it's having me form other habits around night time awakenings like not staying in bed if I can't get back to sleep to short circuit the association between wakefulness and being in bed.

I can't say whether it's helped for sure yet (my sleep efficiency has gone up in the past 2 weeks from 70ish percent to mid eighties), but even with the reduced time in bed I do seem to have about the same energy as I did when spending much more time in bed.
Obviously it's not just slack. Every company should be shamed out of doing business with them, imo.

Well I think this is surely a cop out as a state machine is also a concept. Although If you are conceding we can't model all concepts with state machines then I think I'm satisfied.
There is very little condemnation. Lots of quoting MLK Jr. "rioting is the voice of the unheard" and yet MLK Jr. certainly did not practice or advocate violence.

And they beat him, demonized him and arrested him. More recently the President and his supporters called Kaepernick “a son of a bitch” when he was peacefully protesting and the wider society just yawned.

It’s kind of hypocritical for the country with the largest military in the world to say that violence doesn’t achieve anything. Peaceful protest and singing Kum Bah Yah didn’t work.

The US doesn’t mind collateral damage to achieve its goals as long as the damage is in a foreign country.
Is there a precedent for breaking up the top three players in a marketplace? By what means would that give relief to ad buyers?

I disagree. I think de-platforming is rarely ever effective, and is very often counter-productive and achieves the opposite of the intended effect. 8chan, Gab, Voat, other imageboards, and distributed semi-private things like Discord servers continue to grow in popularity and continue to further radicalize people far beyond where they were before they first came to those places.

I recommend this post: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/07/22/freedom-on-the-central...

Key excerpt: "There’s an unfortunate corollary to this, which is that if you try to create a libertarian paradise, you will attract three deeply virtuous people with a strong commitment to the principle of universal freedom, plus millions of scoundrels. Declare that you’re going to stop holding witch hunts, and your coalition is certain to include more than its share of witches."

If you have relatively moderate people looking to discuss non-mainstream things without being censored, and they can't do that, then you're forcing them into the witches' dens, where they'll probably become increasingly less moderate and increasingly more paranoid and polarized. They feel like the other side hates them and is out to get them... and in this case, their point is being proven. This is exactly why Trump won in 2016 and why he'll probably win again.

Sure, it certainly isn't profitable or fun to run 8chan, Gab, or Voat if you're the owners, but this is just about the users who don't particularly care what site they're using. They'll just use whatever site won't get rid of them. (Also, it isn't even profitable or fun to run reddit, either.)

And this isn't even getting into the possible ethics of de-platforming and censorship and what should and shouldn't be permitted; just the practical effects. Practically speaking, I don't think it's an effective tactic, if the effect you want is to disempower your opponents. It empowers them and energizes them.
Please don't post denunciatory rhetoric to HN. It's tedious. Worse, it acidifies the thread. Those two things are a double dose of poison for curiosity, which is the entire point of this site.

this argument always comes up and its complete and utter bullshit. Please think about what you say for more than a half second before you say it.

Police are not that effective, society does not completely collapse in their absence, and there needs to be a cost-benefit analysis done for even things that obviously seem good. When police murder and assault people regularly, using military equipment, that's a serious cost to take into consideration.

Overpolicing has serious consequences, and the evidence suggests it actually increases crime. When NYC cops stopped proactive policing, _serious crime decreased_.

>To start somewhere, everything that was an acquisition 'should' stand on its own, because it began as a complete company. Of course things aren't that simple.

Yes. They can still sell ads, just not inhouse.
I have a tangential question related to styling (and I agree the styling for this site is wonderful).

When designing your personal/corporate website/blog, how much weight do you attribute to users whose browsers refuse to load remote fonts (by preference or otherwise)?

I ask because I've noticed recently that some websites (notably, many google sites) are unusable, because they depend on remotely-loaded icons, which are replaced with unreadably-stretched alt-text with unintended form factors.

On this blog, for example, the default preformatted-font didn't seem to be monospaced, and the result is that the "julia" name is rendered incorrectly.

All this is meant to ask, do you ever test your designs with browser-default fonts? If not/so, is this conscious? Why?

To be clear, I intend for this to be a survey, not an inquisition. I'm trying to understand this trend better.

For my own answer. At my place of work, in spite of an avowed obsession with accessibility, our designs are regularly sabotaged by browser-default fonts and poorly-rendered alt-text.

Microsoft used to have licensing deals with Android phone manufacturers for their use of FAT, it was just bundled in the cost of the phones sold.

With the choice of Android effectively costing them $5-15 per device sold, manufacturers still chose it.

> Antitrust actions under US doctrine are supposed to benefit consumers

Note that the viewpoint that antitrust is SOLELY about benefit to consumers, and not also about restricting corporate power, is relatively new in US antitrust jurisprudence (around the 80s I think), and there are currently many scholars reassessing this viewpoint.

Edit: Some more info about current reassessment of the Chicago School of Antitrust: https://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/reassessing-chicago-school...

This conversation isn't going to solve the problem (but that is a cop-out).

I think the metaphor though hyperbolic was a bit germane: I too have a lot of problems with media coverage in general. But the reason why it's covered a lot more is because it's often super egregious. So it's oversimplifying to not consider the impact to the community (especially given the long historical context of racial oppression).

My frustrations are legitimate, as I'm sure are yours.

Calling it 'media misinformation' is begging the question.
It depends on how much you want to earn from it. Most people are happy with Adsense and like their income from that, but to really earn properly you need to have guest writers, paid promotional posts, and be doing affiliate marketing. You also need to be as authentic as possible and not give the impression you are just doing the blog for money (as many sites do). Like anything, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
