Where I'm from, dick refers to a penis. So saying someone is a 'dick' is sexist and derogatory towards people with penises. Would you be allowed to tell someone not to be another set of genitals in a vulgar manner? Of course not.
Employees discussing politics is a different issue that a company acting in the political theater. Reducing conflict by discouraging political discussion is not necessarily about any one political perspective it may just be about keeping the workplace civil.
It's not far-fetched that there's a pervasive combo of conformity, virtual signalling and outrage.
Huh? Politics is all about the distribution of power.

Just a different politics than the one people have been suggesting?
That still sounds like a personal political agenda to me
> Shaming each individual user is the best way for them to learn.

It's the best way for them to stop trusting the security team and never come in with any issue, even if it could be used as an early signal preventing bigger attack. Many people's jobs rely on them receiving emails from unknown sources and receiving files from them. Shaming them for "you should've known this specific link is bad" is counterproductive. That's even before we get to whether they would actually put in any credentials.

Phishing tests have value. Running them to shame people into compliance is a waste of time.

Laughing about customer names != politics, that would not fly in the politics channels I've been in.

> an inclusive workplace is one where leadership doesn't have to monitor each channel

I disagree with this statement. Just because there are dedicated channels for a specific subject does not mean they should be unmoderated. There should be a code of conduct and at least light moderation / ability to report misconduct just like all other company communication mediums in shared spaces (i.e. not DMs).
Discussion about the details of your paternity leave, how long you're planning to be away, and contingencies if you need more time: Yes, and congratulations!

Discussion about the details of the sexual act that led you to needing to take paternity leave: No, don't care, not interested, not relevant.

I'm not doing your homework.

The original post said the average cost for a studio was $900. You claim that the 20th percentile cost is $1000.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, so you go figure out what the real numbers are and then we can talk.
statistically, maybe. But it's more about mindshare in cases like these. IoT devices based on your report is even more prone to compromises, but there's not much fear for a person's fridge being compromised.

And as always, these cases come down to how many people really concern themselves with that risk. Windows has had that reputation, but it hasn't helped Apple that much in terms of Mac adoption, let alone Linux.
In the case of Craft, paying for a better starting point for the content model and editing experience we want to provide. It saves time, in other words.

If their entire European, Australian and New Zealand operations weren't profitable, why would they run them at all? They wouldn't use American profits to support them, they'd shut them down.
I can see an exodus of 33% of the workforce creating ripple effect in the coming months through burnouts. As a founder I’d be very concerned about the next 6-12 months
>I wonder if discussing removing racial segregation from workplaces back in the 60s or 70s or whenever was considered a "very liberal or even leftist"? Sometimes there's just a right side to be on.

Absolutely. The US government considered the entire civil rights movement to serve the Communist agenda. Read about J. Edgar Hoover's enemies list[0] or COINTELPRO[1]. The FBI believed MLK was a Communist agent[2]. Any anti-war or Black activist group was portrayed as enemies of the state and left-wing extremists.

You can see the same playbook being used against BLM today. No one on the right will fail to refer to them as anything but a "Marxist terrorist group" that "burns entire cities to the ground" and "murders innocents with impunity."

> Do you think people in charge of hiring, particularly outside of the SV bubble, are going to be eager to pick someone up who left their last job because they couldn't agree to stop bitching about politics on the company dime?

I think that's a big mischaracterization of what happened.

For one, it seems a lot of the issue was about the 'funny names list' and heated debate around that. It wasn't people going to war over liberals vs conservatives. It seems DHH took particular umbrage at someone brining the Anti Defamation League's Pyramid of Hate into the conversation.

Secondly, Basecamp had allowed the creation of a Diversity and Inclusion committee with at least a dozen employees joining. DHH and Fried decided to unilaterally dissolve it. If you're going to give employees your blessing for a D&I group then just axe it with no discussion or warning, some people will be put off.

Then there's the fact that employees found out about this group of changes via blog post. That betrays a lack of empathy/care for employees when implementing a set of big changes.

Lastly, saying 'no politics or societal issues' because you, as the owners of the company felt uncomfortable, is a recipe for ruining the culture of a company like Basecamp. For some employees, they can't get away from politics and societal issues because it affects them every day and their very existence has been politicized. More savvy leaders could've established a better climate of respect and politeness around any 'political' discussion rather than a heavy handed and clumsy edict.

This wasn't about a bunch of people endlessly bickering about politics at work, it's about company owners who took a manageable issue and turned it into a public crisis. Companies several orders of magnitude larger manage to accommodate employees having political conversations without making messes like this.
You're now talking about things (software) that cause Apple to incur no marginal cost. It's not unreasonable at that point to expect that they choose between allowing you to decline the charge for them and do without or provide those things for free.

2x inflation over 10 years would require something like 7.2% annualized inflation. We're nowhere near that and haven't been for decades. Average over the last 20 years is around 3%, and it's been even lower over the past decade.

4x requires historically high inflation over a decade.
Several cases most likely.

If they could make it actually go away by banning it those cases become much weaker, but so far that hasn't worked out.
I guess I was thinking of something in between a private conversation and a meeting. Things like chatting in a shared office (which I know is a distracting no-no in some contexts, but not all, at least when it comes to a slightly extended greeting/farewell), or in the kitchen/corridor/doorway/photocopier room. Anywhere people naturally gather and mingle when they're not necessarily in full work mode. Depending on the workplace, that sort of thing is very common and a ban would seem weird and draconian.
> they’re hemorrhaging customers too

I doubt that, most companies could not care less about the internal affairs of their tools' companies, unless it impacts the tools' performance and featureset, something we still await to see regarding Basecamp, whether they can successfully plug the employee hemorrhage wound and get new employees working on the product.
If you don't think DE&I is important, than of course you think it's "off the rails" to have 20 people spending time and effort on it. If you do think it's important, then there'd be nothing "off the rails" about having mass participation in it.

Oddly, according to the coverage, the owners had previously said publicly and internally that they thought it was important.

The owners had previously been very publicly and assertively taking very "liberal" and "progressive" positions. They have been on the "wrong" side of the "culture wars" for those who think it's "off the rails" to be spending signficant time and effort on DE&I. "Hansson had encouraged employees to read Between the World and Me, a memoir by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and The New Jim Crow... Both founders are also active — and occasionally hyperactive — on Twitter, where they regularly advocate for mainstream liberal and progressive views on social issues."

I wonder how it will feel to them to become the darlings of people very opposed to those positions they had been taking, as seen in these threads. I wonder if the owners will become born-again to the right-wing side of the "culture wars".
You keep using the word class, but I don't think it's applicable here. If everyone in the country is subjected to a lower minimum wage while a teenager, there is no disadvantaged "class".

They can charge what they need to be profitable, after discovering how much they need to pay workers to apply and show up.

Which will drive away many customers who have become accustomed to cheap service built on "shit jobs."

At some point an equilibrium will be reached, the customers who can't or won't pay more will drop out of participation, and we'll have the true market for service built on good jobs.

No customer deserves cheap drinks and service built on shit jobs.

"Oh, but all those jobs will be lost."

They're already lost, the difference is that it's the workers making the decision.

I had never heard of Processwire and it does look interesting.

I have worked primarily in Drupal or just directly in either Symfony or Laravel. Drupal 8 has a pretty sophisticated cache API and reading through the ProCache module description it sounds pretty similar (except that it appears to lack cache tags?).

Anyway, I certainly wouldn’t call Drupal or WordPress “the latest new thing” and in my experience at least Drupal does a solid job of getting out of your way as well.

I’ve had two particularly obnoxious coworkers in my career. One on the left and one on the right. Their behavior was indistinguishable from that of a religious zealot. They were extremely unpleasant people, and no one should have to listen to them while on the clock.

I didn’t say anything about human rights activism. I drew a parallel between religious zealotry and political zealotry in the workplace that I have personally experienced. And the parallel is perfectly apt.

Companies like Tesla are trying to change things, but for most of a century it was the norm that the manufacturer would make parts available for purchase, and even if they had stopped doing so, there is a huge aftermarket industry around repair and customisation.

The aftermarket has become so big, that you can probably build an entire car of the 50s to early 70s entirely out of aftermarket parts. Even body panels and frame rails are available.

Reminds me of how I got into computing in the first place.

During the 1970s, my dad designed an engine, similar in principle to the Wiseman Engine: https://wisemanengine.com

To better explore and elucidate his ideas, he bought a TRS-80 Model 16 computer (Model II compatible) with high resolution graphics option and wrote a BASIC program that could compare the mechanical advantage graphs of several different engine mechanisms including his own. He had begun to add a visualization of the mechanism itself to the program. He had only completed the slider crank (what is used in most auto engines), but there it was, animated at half a frame a second: a wireframe drawing of a piston that moved up and down, pushing on a crank that turned the crankshaft. And my brain was like what manner of high wizardry is this!!

This site is exemplary of what I had glimpsed that day, going on 40 years ago: the power computers have to explain our world and bring alive the principles that drive it.
Your last point is the relevant here in this context. If the defauklt "push_all" has no access to member variables (how could it - it's defined on the trait) and only calls public methods (such as push) then it is no more powerful than a free function or extension function.

Hence it is okay.

However, if you where to have another private function "private_push_all" and "push_all" could decide whether to call "push" or "private_push_all" then we would have the same situation again.
What does it mean to ask questions in bad faith?
In Au, current ceo at my work recently complained how frustrating it is having 16 y.o. s manage stores. Hmm wonder how that problem happened?
The applet sandbox didn't merely leak; it was non-existent.

Java applets had built-in access to the complete filesystem, network, shared memory etc. A java applet could read cookies, credentials etc stored on disk and transmit them elsewhere - this was not "hacking", it was merely "write the code to do it".

By contrast, the WASM standard offers no access to anything - no IO of any kind. The only documented way to do IO is to have the hosting code (eg javascript) pass in a function pointer to perform IO on behalf of the WASM.

You could definitely go looking for a vulnerability in a particular WASM engine which let you escape the sandbox on that engine - and I have real concerns about JIT type-confusion vulnerabilities, and the GPU as an attack vector. However, "find a vulnerability to exploit" and "call an officially-documented method" are very different approaches to performing IO.

The initial blog post did not make that distinction. Not only is that a significant mistake in clarity, it was a significant mistake to announce a change like that via blog post.

With that change they also got rid of the D&I committee established with employee participation. If you're gonna tell your employees 'you have a seat at the table' on something sensitive like D&I, then eliminate that group with no warning, people are gonna feel some kind of way about it. Even Palpatine didn't dissolve the Imperial Senate right away.
It’s unprofessional to call a coworker a racist or say they are one step from genocide.
"they offered a lot of money and it looked like a good idea" seems like a good enough justification to me. It seems unlikely to me that 1/3 of basecamp employees wouldn't shut up about their support for Donald Trump and how QAnon would save the dau

It's been a K shaped recovery. Certainly a lot of people have benefitted and did even better than past years despite the pandemic, but for a lot of others they haven't.

Been great for me as well but outside of people in tech, I don't know too many in crypto as they didn't have the funds to risk in the first place. Nor do they have much stock exposure outside of their 401k.
I think that's just so. In this case, what is defined as "politics" is basically "what will make the owners uncomfortable or challenge them."

And well, sure, such as it ever was. They usually try to put a fancier face on it, because when you make it so blatant, well, people who have options will leave.
The difference is that in one case, it is impossible to cause this error and in the other case (with contracts between methods) we now have to rely people on understanding what they are doing. Looking hat Java's hashCode&equals, I think history has shown that it is maybe not a good idea to rely on that too much.
It sounds as though the commity was trying to push a critical theory agenda, and the founders came down on it.

I agree.

On the other hand, it does sound as though basecamp is actually just a lifestyle company for the benefit of the founders, and once everyone realized that is the true 'mission', many left.
You are halfway there, but now think a bit further. Imagine if you were working at a job, but you are stuck with immature coworkers that are making fun of aspects of your culture, making fun of names that are similar to your own name, or similar to names of your friends and family.

You can't escape these immature people because you need to work the job with them in order to make money. So you deal with it for a while but then you start complaining "hey man that's really not cool". They don't take you seriously, in fact their response is "hey let's not get all political about this".

Don't you see how people making racist jokes can be just as annoying as a pushy religious person? There's a lot of ways humans do annoying things to each other, but we should all be working on ways to minimize the amount we are annoying each other, and sometimes that means facing up to the fact that something you are doing is racist towards another person and you have to stop it.
One person mentioned the pyramid of hate and you think it makes sense to point that out when talking about a policy that spans all employees? It’s clear basecamp doesn’t know how to handle difficult discussions, but politics is business. The state, laws and political institutions are the basis of all wealth and power. Their cowardice means their business is now in jeopardy.

We have lots of difficult, sometimes racialized discussions at BigCo. It makes us better at engaging with the world outside our walls. It’s not unnecessary or distracting from our work because our customers live in the same world we create products and services for, it’s part of our work.

Look at Apples stance on privacy, that’s based on a lot of difficult political discussions that culminate in corporate policy. If we did away with politics, we couldn’t have come to some of the decisions we have until forced by legislatures or our competitors.
I'd say it'sa new union topic. Employers need to start worrying about what political opinions they are lobbying for, and what their employees want them to be lobbying for.

Corporate lobbying is going to stop just being for the owners
Agreed, I think that a number of these jobs provide a fantastic introduction to business process but the resume doesn’t necessarily translate into the opportunities that it could or should depending on a persons aptitude. As such, it becomes necessary to reconfigure resumes in a way that avoids jobs that might seem unwanted and highlights skills that appear more sought after regardless of how much they were tied to a job. I like the phrase resume driven development.

A better path would be for employers to have internal training programs for gaining skills that can help one to climb the career ladder either internally or externally knowing that if a good person leaves that the reputation will attract suitable replacements.
There’s been a number of lawsuits involving PEX over the years. Namely defects etc that are failure prone and once installed is a nightmare to repair/replace. And once failed is equally costly to fix.

micro PC + some multi-launcher? I'm sure there's some 3rd party windows/Linux app that streamlines multiple services. Then add Plex server for any custom/downloaded media. It takes setup, but that's seems to almost always be the case; either a black box or assembly required (stability never guaranteed).

Perosnally, my "set top box" is a chromecast. and then localcast/airflow for anything that doesn't have chromecast support (all my subcribed streams do, fortunately). It's google so it's not really "unaffiliated", but as long as I can mirror a screen, I technically never have to worry about contracts blocking chromecasting.

If basecamp employees are so desperate to talk about politics at work, maybe they should work in Washington DC or something? Seems like a lot of drama over nothing.

I don't think it has endured. Oliphant said that in ~1976, and said later he regretted it. (see the source article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Nicholls#cite_note-Bla...).

Oliphant himself had an interesting life. He discovered the structure of Tritium, was involved in the development of the cavity magnetron (radar) during WW2, and kick-started the Manhattan Project. If you're interested in physics and haven't heard of him, give his Wikipedia page a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Oliphant
Equally the status quo is not tenable and clearly not the solution.

There are many people coming up with solutions but clearly 'free market' adjustments have failed an increasing number of workers.

But I will disagree with your economic value question, I think service workers are undervalued greatly.

There is a giant disconnect between wage and economic value, the market is terrible at connecting the two.
