The other comments are talking about the American-ness of the firing, so I will also say that this is (in my mind) a particularly American brand of humor.

People often say that you can't burn enough calories to contribute significantly to weight loss, but I don't think this is true.

I went from fat to lean by counting calories and exercising. An hour of hard cycling burns 1,200 calories for me. So assuming my body needs 2,400 cals per day to maintain itself, I can have a 1,200-calorie defecit by eating 2,400 and burning 1,200, or by being sedentary and only eating 1,200. The former is fairly easy to do, is compatible with family meals and a social life and makes me fit. The latter is just miserable.

There is a person in my management chain who makes occasional references to being fired along the lines of “If someone did X they’d be instantly let go.” I find that it makes for an uncomfortable work environment - I’ve never heard managers speak this way before. To be clear, I am not speaking about some bright-line issue that comes up in required training.

It makes me think that they are a weak “rules lawyer” type, who are more interested in always having plausible deniability/coverage of their own ass than actually leading their team.

Another way of saying they'll never retain the best talent. At best they'll have "good" to mediocre. The best will move on.

If you're the best at your language/library/framework you'll always find better compensation than a company that normalizes compensation by locale.

There's plenty of top tier talent in cities across North America and Europe who can find remote employment at companies paying bay area rates.
Since you've explicitly asked for advice, the only way to assess remote employees is by what they're delivering. If you employ them for 40 hours a week, but they can deliver what you're asking in 5 and still be responsive when needed, is there really a problem?

If they're also doing another job on the side, but it isn't impacting their delivery of the work you're asking for, that shouldn't be a problem. By doing away with a (largely unenforceable) policy of no moonlighting you also avoid the problem of having to fire people for breaching it.

I'm borderline on whether Alice here was even at fault. She is likely in breach of her contract for several other things, I assume there's a routine NDA in place which probably means that she shouldn't be sharing confidential company information with outside parties, but if not and she was getting work delivered is it really a problem if she did so by being good at project management rather than software development?

Well, this is not much different from other emergent phenomena like election results. The outcome of the 2020 election was not under any one person's control, but that's a shoddy argument for claiming it's outside of everyone's control in aggregate. (I mean, it's certainly not in any company's control either.)

The answer is that we need to coordinate, get serious, and fix these problems. But part of getting serious is not using obvious sophistry to trick dull-witted people into thinking that 'corporations' are just magically burning carbon for reasons that have nothing at all to do with their consumption, and therefore there's no point in their changing their own behaviour –– which is a very prevalent argument on social media, and is what I was alluding to initially.

That's an interesting choice of words - "honest".

The problem with what we see on screens, even when it is any or all of the above, is that screens are powered by advertising.

The root code is open source. That's how they found the issue.

We always encourage our users not to (just) trust ZeroTier, not because we don't think it's safe but because you should never trust just one thing. Never, never, never. One layer of security is no security.

There are people who will tell you their software could contain bugs. Then there are people who will lie, or who are delusional.

Anything you care about should be gated by at least two security systems, preferably ones with different code bases from different vendors. Bonus points if they use different mechanisms or algorithms.

It doesn't seem possible to me that "role separation" could be more efficient.

If you wait until code is merged into `master` before doing further testing, you're saving yourself 15 minutes of time, but when a problem is found everybody will be disconnected from the source of the bug.

If you, as a software engineer, pull down the branch and try running the code then you'll be able to find bugs, edge-cases, misunderstandings of the design (etc) and then literally point out where they occurred in the source code to your colleagues at the point of the review.

It saves a bunch of time to do it this way, because it only takes <15 minutes to pull down a branch and execute the code, and finding problems at this point reduces everybody's feedback loop and allows you to give meaningful feedback in relation to the diff of the source code. (Note: I'd not do this with trivial changes.)

(I think the only reason that people rest on "role separation" here is because they've never actually tried doing anything deeper so can't comprehend that it helps to find deeper problems.)

I have tried Speedify (not with such an impressive setup) on multiple 4g connections (different towers, different providers) and didn't see much, or indeed any, throughput bump.

I don't doubt they're doing a lot to take down spam already. I understand the scale. I'm know they deal with a huge amount of it, and as you say, we only see the failures. I completely agree.

However, the type of spam I'm seeing recently is literally all the same video title, same channel name (maybe differing by a space or capitalization), same btc giveaway scam, etc. 90% is fake SpaceX streams. The streams stay online for hours before being shut down, and I know a lot of people are seeing them in their recommendations. It's not my fault for being interested in space, while also not wanting to see scam videos about Elon "giving away free crypto".

When I said it seems "like Google isn't even trying", I wasn't referring to all spam on the platform – just this very specific type.

Again, I know it would be worse if YT were really doing nothing. But these streams are getting more and more common (because I assume it's working to some extent for the scammers), and clearly YT isn't doing enough to stop them.

Here's the heuristic: if it's a live stream from a channel with relatively few subscribers and a name that very closely matches "SpaceX" or another high-profile channel name, the channel name was recently changed, and more than x number of people (with a solid history of reporting spam that was indeed later determined to be spam) have reported it as spam, you send it to a moderator to review and remove when appropriate. If the volume of videos matching those criteria is really too large for your moderation staff, then start looking at source IPs/locations of those that match the algorithmic part (I seriously doubt they're streaming over tor or coming from more than a small handful of locations), and tweak the parameters as necessary.

Really, with a little ML and the spam reports alone, they could shut these down 10x faster than they do now. I've reported a ton of them (and I know a lot of others have too), and I've never reported a video that didn't eventually end up being taken down. So have your model identify people like me and give our spam reports more weight. Respond in minutes rather than hours or days.

My point is, yes - YT is obviously already doing a lot to shut down spam, and it's probably 99.9999% effective. But the marginal amount that's making it through now could be dealt with fairly simply. I could never write an algorithm to be as effective as what they already have in place, but I could easily write one that's effective in dealing with this crap that's making it through. Would it be effective forever? Of course not, but it'd improve things significantly until it needs to be adjusted.
Sensible advice all around. I would just replace “gaining weight” by “gaining fat”. If you are lifting a lot then you may get heavier on the scale while losing fat. Attend to your waistline rather than the scale.
I found the following book to be great introduction:
https://www.amazon.com/Factorization-Primality-Testing-Under...

It focuses on factoring and primality testing, but it also covers a lot of introductory number theory. IIRC it also covers continued fractions as used for factoring and the quadratic sieve and MPQS. The pseudo-code given in the book is very easy to translate into python, which supports large integers and efficient exponentiation mod P.
In general, in larger organizations with formal processes, HR would look into the situation instead of simply accepting the manager's assertion about someone being a bad performer.

For example, it may be quite clear even from externally looking at other reports (e.g. data from "360-degree reviews" or whatever internal evaluation process the corporation uses) that the consensus around the team is that the person is not a bad performer, but that the team lead has had recorded "problems with cooperation" - in that case, escalating the conflict with an IC to HR may easily be the breaking point that causes the team lead to be removed.

Having a single point of failure here might be OK, if Speedify is so much more reliable than the other solutions (4G wireless in potentially remote areas). Though yeah, I'd like to see an option to failover to a single provider, because it's conceptually so easy to add.

If businesses aligns perfectly with establishment power structures on everything else, why would they not on this?

I don't blame them, they are after all bottom feeding power hungry money grubbers, it's just what they do, they can't help it. Tripwire had no choice but to get rid of their CEO, and their CEO was naive for thinking that his opinion would be tolerated. That would basically be suicide for the business if they tolerated it as all establishment power structures would do whatever they can to penalize them.

> There's a reason books and movies have an age restriction.

Yes, it is called hypocrisy. Do you think there exist a kid who stopped at age restriction dialog?

Ratings have always been either a publicity stunt, a way to benefit from grab of authority on them, or a pretext for censorship. Most well known example is MPAA, which basically allowed studios to make the same kind of movies while jumping through hoops to tell people they were “approved”. Later, it was shortened to “This label means the kids won't see it, so it's okay, don't worry”. Another example: until very recently, there was no age restriction on books in Russia, and no one cared at all. Then the government decided to promote itself as a defender of “traditional values”, and age ratings were promptly introduced, just to make any non-encyclopedic discussion of homosexuality fall under 18+. Does it stop people from accessing information? Not really, and it doesn't matter, because ratings are not for kids, they are for grown ups who feel good from looking at “protective measures”. And so, some teenagers are doing drugs while their parents are happy because they bought family access control software to shield their children from the information about drugs and other nasty stuff.
Your description above is not how the body works. To support a mass M must require a quantity of energy E obtained from food. The attempt to alter this model with “loose” ideas about “burn rates” therefore does not make sense.
