The current situation in these big tech companies reminds me a little bit of Wahhabism and the founding of modern Saudi Arabia.

Initially the king used the Wahhabi extremists as troops and it was quite a successful partnership. But eventually it went sour as the king tried to modernize the country bringing in phone lines and roads and he was attacked by his former extremist friends who were opposed to the sinful modern world. Eventually the king enlisted the aid of the British with airplanes and machine guns and the Wahhabi were subdued (with a large number being killed).

A couple of parallels and potential lessons here.

Beware of getting in bed with unreasonable and fanatical extremists. They will turn on their former benefactors fairly quickly and the danger often isn't worth the risk.

And, if you are an fanatical extremist (not passing judgement on just noting), you likely won't actually ever take power for long and will be quickly disposed of when no longer useful or you become problem which you will shortly. Cynical people will take advantage of your idealism for their own purposes but you won't see the benefits.
At my work, I'm responsible for the procurement of IT equipment, and for our boardrooms, we only buy "digital signage" televisions. Essentially, dumb TVs because we don't want any of our data to leave our building.

It's pricier, e.g. 55" 4k is $3000 CAD, but worth the privacy. We actually got some large ones at a discount because they were all 1080p, and for meeting rooms, nobody needs Powerpoint or Word in 4K, so it was perfect. Just a thought if anyone is looking for good quality TV sets. I also think the limited warranty starts at 3 years.

From the GitLab side we're very happy with the new home for Gitter. Chat is very useful but using multiple incompatible technologies has lead to fragmentation and silos. For example external developers being on Gitter when the organization behind the project is on Slack. Matrix is a great way to solve that and we hope Gitter will contribute to the success of it.
Sounds like you picked up the SE used and it had an activation lock. One of the more annoying things Apple has done was to take down the page for checking that before purchase.

That or you put in an iCloud account at some point but it did not get removed successfully.
WhatsApp only stores messages locally on a particular device right? I didn’t think there was a feature to “download a backup”.
I just checked a project of mine, which uses CloudFlare and gets reasonable traffic, it seems Australia is disproportionately represented for it too.
I'm going to come across here as an odd outlier, and that's OK. I accept it. Being in IT for 20 years has shown me that none of these companies can be trusted. Since I have to have a mobile phone, I chose Apple. I don't believe that there are
"lesser evils". You're evil or you're not. Full stop. I do my best to use open source tools (save iPhone) in my house. Granted, there are no open source TVs, Roku's, etc, but they are not tracking me. My TV is set to be dumb, I don't use "real" information when I sign up for transient things. I use email aliases for everything with Fastmail. I have no apps save the ones that ship with the phone and I don't use the health app. I use the phone, texting, and camera. That's it. I don't have an iCloud account.

The field of companies is narrowing with FAANG buying up everything of value or anything that may threaten them. I get it. It's all about money. While I don't agree with everything that Richard Stallman says, he's right more often than not. We are increasingly giving our lives to FAANG. The tracking is insidious. The sharing of information is insidious. We can fight back should we wish. But how many people are willing to give up their conveniences for their freedoms? I'd wager not too many. I'll admit I bought a flip phone for the purposes of avoiding any virus apps that may be required in future should that happen. I just want to stay off the radar and I have a right to do so.

I believe Kickstarter and Dreamhost reorganized their companies that way when it became possible.
My first was at my first job out of school. It was a bit of an adventure telling my manager. It was in C, but with an old GCC version on an architecture like MIPS. My code would seemingly never run through a switch statement correctly, but it worked fine with if statements. Luckily and unluckily, the company was large, ran a custom GCC build from a third party and had a support contract. When I filed the bug, they said "there's a known issue with large jump tables on that GCC version, disable some optimization with this flag."

I think that made me just a little paranoid. I generally trust things, but depending on their popularity and likely it is my code path is run by lots of users, I realize library (and compiler!) bugs happen.
We told our kids that Santa was a pretend game that adults play.

But, um, I don't think we took the same tack with the Tooth Fairy. We told our kids that the Tooth Fairy recycled teeth - when they fell out of kids' mouths, the Tooth Fairy took them and gave them to babies that were just getting their teeth.

So I guess I'm a hypocrite :-(
That's not the only point. You are confusing necessary and sufficient conditions. Being able to do the thing that needs to be done at the right time is a a necessary condition for this success. It's definitely not sufficient condition as you rightly point out. You note that you use fiverr and development teams you've worked with before to deliver quickly. Without that you have nothing to deliver or it is beat in the market by the time you figure out how to make it. An influencer isn't going to magically create products for you.
i think its also frankly because they recruit from elite universities that push social activism and safe spaces constantly
They're missing a killer feature they have the hardware to implement: Ad skipping.

Within a fraction of a second they could notice that the audio feed exactly matches a fragment in memory, and mute audio till the feed diverges again from history. One would want this mode off for a "Top Forty" radio station, but on for live content.

An easy enhancement would be to press a "kill" button to immediately mute repeating content, and always automatically mute this content in the future. This feature would be useful for songs one never wants to hear again.

Many baseball fans would pay thousands of dollars to never hear the "Kars for Kids" ad again, wondering why they don't explain their charity's narrow mission, wondering if their cars are sold by an intermediary that redirects profits.
I'm confused why stories about Sweden's success keep popping up here. The country had TEN TIMES the per capita death rate of its neighbors and still has the highest unemployment of all the Nordic countries. Seems to me like the worst of both worlds.
You say ‘no’ but then you present an argument which seems to evaluate to ‘yes’.

If you are saying that a person who actually doesn’t have access to food, water, and shelter don’t have time to think about the problems of social media, I’d say there is merit to that.

But then that seems like a clear ‘yes’ to my question.

It also supports my original comment about how terrible the piece is.

By your logic, someone in such a position can’t or shouldn’t be reading a Slate article discussing the relative importance of these issues.
Startup founders must overcome information overload
Critical thinking is a lot harder than just saying, "Don't believe other people." You have to teach that people may be trustworthy in one area, but not in another. You have to teach when you can take a statement on face value. You have to teach how to be skeptical of your own judgments and defer to others sometimes. You may also teach them how to spot liars. These things require time to understand and I don't see that happening if you sabotage the process by openly betraying them in a huge way early on.
I don't see why he's offering them any sort of package to leave, it's not like they're being made redundant. It's very generous but sets an odd precedent. It's like it's a compensation payment for not being allowed to make the workplace toxic.

This misses the context behind the relocations. In the case of the holocaust, they were legally living there before being relocated. In the case of undocumented immigrants, they illegally moved there, and are now being moved back.

Improving Postmortem Practices with Veteran Google SRE, Steve McGhee
I have found bugs in Gcc, and reported them. I check on them once every few years to see if anything at all has happened on any of them. It seems worth distinguishing code-generation bugs from other compiler bugs. Most of my Gcc bugs are not code-generation bugs.

Back in the '80s, the C++ compiler was `cfront`. We spent half of every day bisecting source files to identify the line that would crash the compiler, and doctor it to step around the bug.

People who used to use the Lucid compilers said they were happy when Lucid flopped, because from then on their compiler only had known bugs, instead of a new crop every few months.

Things are better, nowadays, with compilers.

The Ultimate, Free Incident Retrospective Template
> Why do bots need to crawl so much?

The Earth has a (mostly) free society. Therefore, many programmers find a web crawler to be an advantageous endeavor. From search engines, to social media companies, to ad networks, to government agencies, to financial institutions, to students learning about programming, to nefarious actors, and even shadow versions of everything above. Bots are neat. One can do a lot with a freely accessible public database of information, only limit is one's creativity.

Perhaps I want the status quo at my job. If I worked somewhere truly objectionable I would quit working there and rally against it in my own time. I get paid to produce services that we sell. I don't get paid to change the world as powerful as we'd like to think we are. Also I don't expect my employer to pay me to be an activist unless they really wanted to. I have every other hour than the 40 I work to do whatever I want.

I admire people that are willing to put in the time to advocate what they believe is right and just. And they are free to do that whether I agree with them or disagree with them. I just don't want to be at work where just coming in and wanting to do your job is considered insufficient and you have to be saving the world somehow. That doesn't mean that I disagree with the cause or won't contribute in my own time. I just want us working on the goal for our company. It could work both ways. Like what if an oil company gave you days off to counter protest at climate change events? If you did not attend, it would be questionable and perhaps ruin your career. So I think as a whole we support activism because it is the activism we like but it might not always be that way.

Industrial Literacy
English, because you have already learned it and have used it on at least one forum. (even if you only used it to ask what many think is a stupid question, or perhaps you are a troll)

If you learn something else you might never use it as much as you have used English above. If your personal experience puts you in an experience where a different language is needed, knowing that language will have a large ROI. Knowing a language tends lead you to experiences where knowledge of that language is useful, even if the language is useless to the rest of us.

None of those are the behaviour of a master to their slave. They're merely inconveniences.

Your definition of punishment is odd to me. The barrier to entry seems spectacularly low. Watching advertisements, though universally loathed, is not actually punishment, by any broadly accepted definition. The generally accepted notion of a punishment, the important one here to our discussion, is an imposition that cannot be stopped.

If I get an unskippable advert on youtube I can always close youtube.

Nobody is forcing them to keep the TV, or even buy it in the first place. People would be up in arms quickly about awful TVs like that and nobody would buy them.

Those laws are assault and/or battery laws. Here's a clip from Hamurabi:

Without doing any research I can guarantee you every Country has laws against assault. It's called the "Monopoly on Violence" and one of the most important cornerstones of civilization. Only the state can injure or murder people without repercussion.

There's no such thing as a punishment (in the literal sense) advertisement. It's fiction. See Black Mirror Season 1 episode 2, "Fifteen Million Merits".

Datadog and Microsoft Announce Strategic Partnership
That could be, but my first thought was it's only compiling it to a single assembly instruction (which can only have two operands). Or it generates ADD instructions using a succession of registers or stack locations, but the initialization code blindly assumes the result is in the first register or stack location.
> Situational awareness [...] means a girl must avoid ambitions and competitive situation...

That's one judgement call to make, but not the only one. There are lots of different factors that could affect any given situation, but certain situations are safer than others, and there are ways to increase or decrease the safety of many given activities.

> [the] ability to properly handle things strongly depends on whether complains are taken seriously...

This is huge, and is actually a good example of how a parent might increase the safety of a situation - parents that are involved in their children's lives, are aware of what's going on, and, critically, believe their children if they communicate that something is uncomfortable or anything happened go a long way towards both deterrence and handling things that do happen. Child abusers generally gravitate towards opportunity, so obstacles in the way of that opportunity like an aware parent decrease the likelihood that abuse will happen with that child.

There's a ton of systemic problems with complaints being taken seriously though, in society at large, in institutions, and with all people, not just children.
Ireland is the battleground for the EU-US tussle over the internet
while I see the theme, I also think there are smaller aspect that need to be addressed: such as a "regulator" having a monopoly on insurance, tied to one supplier, creating an explicit conflict of interest.

I also think the the courts allowing large interests to bully smaller individuals, such as the lawsuit against a non-sanctioned competition, needs to be addressed. Either Varsity is a gatekeeper, or it isn't - if it isn't, how could it possibly have a say in what competitions a gym competes in.

A monopoly is maybe "what", but these other violations are "how".

If I had heard that growing up I would have avoided men under any and all circumstances. Since I am posting here, you might imagine what a detrimental effect that would have had on my life.

Seriously, all you are going to teach young women is that the world is a terrifying place and they should hide themselves from it. I don't think you can imagine how awful that advice is. I easily can.

Re my last statement. If you told everyone of either gender that they should avoid situations where they have to rely on older men for their advancement, no one would have any job.

LinkedIn hacker Nikulin sentenced to 7 yrs in prison after years of legal battle
It's part of a long line of perception management that shifts the burden of climate change off of the industries that are responsible for the problem (Oil and Gas, agriculture) and away from governmental solutions (carbon tax high enough to fund carbon neutrality, green industry incentives) and onto the individual (recycling, veganism, staycations, biking). I am at a point where I find all climate change solutions that focus on voluntary individual behavior to be laughably dishonest. Tragedy of the commons has been well understood for centuries. International governmental cooperation and regulation is the ONLY chance we have at addressing this issue, full stop. The rest is magical thinking.
Carpocalypse Never?
I may want to apply to coinbase. I am really fed up with 'activist' employees and the toxic environment they bring. All I want is to just focus on engineering and ship features/improvements. Bringing politics to the office(thanks Google!) has been one of the worst things to happen in the 21st century for tech companies. Interestingly enough google has been going through absolute hell with these cancerous employees and other companies will have the same issues by embracing their failed strategy. Lets leave politics at home or outside the office where it belongs.
