In my experience, there is a thin line between "blameless" cultures and "responsibility-less" cultures. Blameless cultures accept that we are all human, make mistakes, have off periods, etc. "Responsibility-less" cultures are as you describe -- they eschew honest conversations about the actual forces that affect projects. Instead they tend to repeat the same process discussions ad nauseum, typically discussing symptoms rather than the actual causes.

Since we as humans often prefer to avoid conflict (sometimes at all costs), it's not uncommon to see companies tilt towards the latter. This is exacerbated in "scale up" environments when rapid personnel changes make it difficult to build the kind of trust necessary for direct, honest communication.
Thats fine, You don't have to apply to my workplace.

I will value positions that fit my needs, and you are free to do the same.

When hiring, I will select employees that meet the onsite requirements and fit the culture.
The legal reason isn't that they aren't allowed to, it is that it can only hurt them.

Why would a company highlight failures if they don't have to? Especially when their statements can later be used against them in civil or criminal proceedings.
As the Schneier says in the post:

Despite what the article says, I don’t know how mandatory this actually is. I know people who visited Saudi Arabia when that country had a similarly sketchy app requirement. Some of them just didn’t bother downloading the apps, and were never asked about it at the border
TIDAL's web player (listen.tidal.com) started working again in Firefox v106 on macOS for me (unlike in v105, where the incompatibility seemed to exist).

Indeed, I really don't know why there is a virology lab in Wuhan, or why they would be located in any given part of the world.

I tend to assume that covid-19 came about like (presumably) every other virus since time eternal; through random mutation in the wild. What I don't really understand is any sort of singular alternative theory of how it arose - it seems that every alternative is anomaly hunting or god of the gaps type arguments in search of some greater meaning behind it.
Create a culture where making mistakes is ok, but failing to learn from those mistakes is unacceptable.

> So you think someone who worked at a crypto startup showed a lack of judgement?

Yes, yes I do. I've had a candidate with 2 crypto rug pull startups under his belt, otherwise brilliant and passionate about tech. He went back in for a hat trick. I do not think he displayed proper judgement, do you?
Was always a bit skeptical about crypto, and as such never made any meaningful investments in it. This past year seems to have validated all that skepticism, so as a regular Joe - I don't see the benefit of having any in my portfolio anytime soon.
> Because Schönbohm is also the founder of Cyber-Sicherheitsrat Deutschland e.V.

This would make sense as an answer, if Schönbohm had a connection with Protelion (other than indirectly through CSRD e.V.). Are you asserting that that is the case?

Otherwise, the links in my mind at the moment are:

KGB — Infotecs — Protelion ... CSRD e.V. — Schönbohm — BSI

where the link "..." is not obviously suspicious (although I'm not saying evidence couldn't be adduced to make it suspicious).
A serious violation is not the highest penalty level. It's the highest that you can get (are likely to get) on the first pass. If you don't correct the flaw in your operations, they can come back and give you a "Willful violation" which is an order of magnitude larger.

Serious or even willful OSHA penalties on the scale of $7,000 or $70,000 are pretty insignificant to a large-scale operation. However, OSHA citations, used as evidence of negligence in a lawsuit, are enormously significant.

That's why when OSHA gets involved at a jobsite, smart companies choose to immediately shut down the work in question until an outside contractor can verify that the flaw has been corrected. The OSHA inspector can be tasked with interviewing employees and getting court orders so that the courts can eventually shut down a facility, but you never, ever want it to go that far.
Lots and lots and lots and lots of people confusing copyright (an inherent property right granted and protected by the government) and license (a privately granted privilege to use). Butterick—who is no IP fundamentalist, just go look at the license he used for his typefaces—is doing two things: looking at the enforcement of open source licenses so that they are not invalidated by nonenforcement and, related, asking Microsoft to respect the community. I didn’t see him suggest that Copilot is bad or should he shut down, just that they play by the rules. A lot of the reactions here echo a lot of non-developer middle managers who insist that open source code is free and freely usable by anyone for any reason, which simply isn’t the case if FOSS licenses have meaning and value.
I don't think so. The right to vote and control how money is spent is the right of a citizen. However I think the current immigration system is awful and should be completely redone and improved and the waitlists drastically reduced with citizenship being a lot more streamlined for active, productive members participating in our economy.
It's hard to even respond to this lol

1. You used an in-progress compiler to build a project and you're drawing conclusions about the language it compiles?

2. The compiler is huge, why does that imply any "bloat" of the language? Compilers do lots of things that aren't "visible" at the language level - optimizations, producing helpful errors, providing code completion/analysis assistance, etc.

3. What does "bloated" even mean?

4. What makes you think that 20 hours is very slow? Have you tried building Clang and llvm together from source? It can take quite a while, but it also depends heavily on how you build it (which build system, flags, etc), which you've not given any information on.

Counterpoint, you can always supplement your children's education at home even if you're not homeschooling them to make up for deficiencies in a local school while still reaping the benefits. Even a terrible school will be able to teach some things, it's incredibly difficult for kids to get nearly the same social interaction with kids their own age while being homeschooled as they would at a public school, and having the kids out of the house for a few hours a day is extremely beneficial for both the parents and the kids.

For homeschooling to be the best option, the local schools need to be not only worse than you, they need to be net negative. There are some places with such terrible schools, but if you have the disposable income to spend all day at home teaching the kids, use it to move someplace with better schools.
My dim understanding is that once you are enrolled in General- and Admiral-level security clearances, you are not quite free free to freelance your experience globally without significant limitations.

Illustrators/sculptors. It's not as good as wacom+workstation, but I like not being bound to one place.
Pretty sure. My standby time extends by a few days if I leave the pencil off instead of attached.
My kids are also homeschooled. There's a lot of benefits and fewer downsides than I expected. School was shit for me and I'm glad my kids are having a better experience.

On the other hand I can't stand the evangelism of many homeschoolers such as yourself. We tend to avoid homeschooling groups. They (we? :( ) aren't good for just having normal conversations and a laugh with.

>”2) legal will be involved”

In court, an apology, even something as simple as saying “sorry”, can be used as an admission of guilt. It behooves them to say as little as possible.
Can you think of any FAANG scale orgs that haven’t run into having a fragmented product landscape? Maybe there’s just a hard limit of how much complexity one business unit can handle before it stops being able to scale up. With that in mind, decentralized teams with tight product+tech collaboration seem to be a successful model. Otherwise we would probably already have seen an example of a successful tech company with centralized product/tech departments.
There is no font compositor; text is less attractive.

There was no HTML browser for the early life of CDE. NCSA Mosaic was the first, followed by Netscape for the RISC platforms.

The native terminal app, DTTerm, is not tabbed. Such a GUI element would take another decade.

Don't turn on the server components unless they are patched (ToolTalk specifically).

There is a GUI-enabled Korn shell, dtksh, but it is an ancient version the last time I looked. Most scripting sourced library code from a book by Pendergrast (of which I found a copy after lots of searches). I used dtksh for basic operations dialogs in the past, so I had some interest.

It is fast, though.
What I like most about org mode tags is that regular expressions can be subtags (or "members of a group tag" in org mode lingo). So you can specify a hierarchy where the parents have children you don't know in advance.

> Curious about how this doesn't render the entire system near-useless? In my experience with other sites with user-generated content that allow tagging, this decision always makes the whole system way worse, because the OP alone is almost never going to be aware of all possible tags that are applicable to whatever it is they posted, and will instead just take the first 3-5 words that pop into their head and stick those in the tags field.

A few things makes this work brilliantly:

- authors are encouraged to tag as much as they want with whatever they want

- tags have an autocompletion to help authors select tags on keywords

- authors are prolific fanfic readers themselves and are therefore usually extremely familiar with the tag system

- manual tag linking means searching for one tag will also return results for all related or near-identical tags, a linking which has an extremely high success rate due to dedicated and extremely knowledgeable volunteers

This overall ends up being that authors use prolific tags, and reuse prolific tags from others, and ultimately search isn't strongly affected because the entire readerbase is hyper-knowledgeable. Check out the extremely specific fanfic-only "hanahaki disease" tag description in ao3 and you'll quickly see that any variety of related tags, with any level of hyerspecificity(some tags have neither "hanahaki" nor "disease"!), will appear searching for any of them, including hanahaki disease in other languages!: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Hanahaki%20Disease

The idea that every accident can be prevented by delight is a ridiculous and utopian trope, and to demonize an entire corporate culture and group of 12k employees without any background information is the height of hubris.

Nobody would ever design a ladder that cannot be climbed without a safety harness being properly worn, but many people are injured or killed in ladder accidents at workplaces every year. In your world that's a design failure, but out here in reality it's often carelessness or sheer bad luck.

Maybe it’s because the android team shows utter contempt for their users.
I’ve got an old android phone I need to use to fix some other broken google product (they just “forgot” to add two different critical features to their web and iOS apps). I can’t though because android non-consensually activated factory reset protection. I of course don’t have access to the old email address anymore so I can’t auth with the old address. (I still own the domain so I suppose I could re-enable a google account) but without expert level intervention the phone is useless.

Way to delight your users. Sorry did I misspell “display utter contempt for”?
> Ukraine as a piece of land was Russia's only warmwater port.

Why is this obviously incorrect statement that can be easily disproved by just checking the map is being repeated again and again on HN? It is only second in popularity to "Russia invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO on its borders" which can also be trivially disproved by finding Estonia or Latvia on the map...
> I think the only one misunderstanding here is you.

You and I are talking. There's no "only one" as though there's a crowd of people present. Try and imagine you're not at the head of a baying mob.

I said that forcing a separate product to be sold in a territory by the rulers of that territory is very different to the rulers of a territory forcing the undoing of a merger in a totally different territory.

If you disagree, and think they're the same, then say why. If you don't disagree, then say that. Either way, please stop making points that I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with, but aren't relevant to what I'm saying?

Yes however my direct experience in having to walk through protesters to get to work was not based on bad software but instead religious beliefs. As a software architect for what was then the world's first biometric payments company in the mid 2000's, PayByTouch, I spent a lot of time in the San Francisco office solving reliability and system scaling issues. These techniques, now commonplace, were learned from my personal solutions in scaling my own server software which had processed all of PayPals transactions from the late 1990s up until their departure which cut us out, the EPX middleman. It is difficult to forget the first time I experienced this "vague hate" targeting me as I walked through protesters based on my employer and what I did for a living. I learned immediately to hide my badge and avoid the crowds which is something many others have learned that is even more applicable at this point in time in society.

OSHA incidents probably don't fit the "nobody's business" pattern, in the same way major breaches like the one that happened at Uber don't.
Which has never happened.

It’s fair to bring up hypotheticals, but you have to do it for everything you’re comparing!

It’s especially important to include “never happened” scenarios for brand new, or lightly used, methods of energy extraction!

What are the worst case scenarios for windmills? Solar panels?

Imagine a major Soviet-level accident at a rare earth element mine.

Imagine a large supply of rare earth metals are improperly labeled.

It might not be as bad as a major nuclear accident … then again maybe it would be.

The system is super broken.

If the property isn't useful, then why is anyone renting it?
So between a country that implements extremely restrictive (some would say 'heartlessly' restrictive) policies in order to safeguard the lives of their vulnerable elderly population, and another country (the 'land of the free') which is so 'free' it allows 1 million+ of its citizens to die, and whose politicians have shown on multiple occasions that they care more about saving the country's economy than saving the lives of their citizens? Which would you say is a 'protector of Human life' as opposed to a 'protector of the economy'.

But unlike what the top level commenter wrote, the option for an H1B holder to become a permanent resident by their own action, rather then by their employer benevolence, is limited to very few (the green card lottery and the above mentioned narrow self-petition categories), and isn't a thing you can just do after a certain length of stay in the US.
When will Mark Zuckerberg get that he needs to pull the plug on his metaverse?
Yea, that's a culture that lacks any sort of accountability.

When patterns continue to repeat, one of two things needs to happen:

* Management recognizes this is a culture/process issue which many people are affected by. Management must fix it.

* An individual continues to repeat the same type of error, despite having had the opportunity to identify, learn, and address it.
If you would be so kind as to not associate the whole of the West in your (fair) appraisal of the US of A's mistreatment of non-whites, this would be very much appreciated.
They seem to mean a computational block (or a closure/lambda) that can be passed on to other functions. Try to do this in C (it's invalid as presented, but this is the concept):

int main() {
int* collection = ...
int* filtered = filter(collection, int func(int item) { return item > 10; });
...
}

You have to actually define a function at the top level in order to pass that in and there is no notion of closures so you can't do the more useful thing that you might have in even C++ these days:

int main() {
int* collection = ...
int limit = ...
auto filter = [&limit](auto item) { return item > limit; };
int* filtered = filter(collection, filter); // assuming `filter` is defined
...
}

You can come close, but you create a lot of extra bookkeeping in your C program to pull it off, and the functions are still only defined at the top-level.
Like this? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/09/technology/twitter-saudi-...

A former Twitter employee was convicted on Tuesday by a jury in federal court of six charges related to accusations that he spied on the company’s users for Saudi Arabia.

While at Twitter, Ahmad Abouammo, 44, managed media partnerships in the Middle East and North Africa. He developed relationships with prominent individuals in the region, receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars and a luxury watch from a top adviser to Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. In return, prosecutors said, he shared the personal user information of dissidents with Saudi officials.

The jury convicted Mr. Abouammo of two counts of wire fraud or conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of money laundering, one count of falsifying records and one count of acting as an agent of a foreign government without properly disclosing that work. It found Mr. Abouammo not guilty on five counts of wire fraud or conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Not the person you replied to, but yes.

But the problem is that most people are spineless and don't use the proper channels of authority that oversee these sorts of things to ensure that employers are held to proper standards. Heck, here in Canada we have a tribunal system to deal with human rights abuses, even in the workplace; not just societal. And it gets underfunded due to be under utilized due to the very lack of backbone I speak of. What I am saying right now is right from the horses mouth no less.

Yes, that means it's all our fault. People are afraid of losing their jobs, and so they do nothing; and so they get away with more than they should.

To be clear though for those on the other side of the fence.

I'm the employee who will usually say "yeah, sure boss. Just maybe give me some time to get down there, or cover my cab fare so I can get there faster."

Heck, one employer literally drove down to get me just to get the shift covered without any lost time.

But recently I've been getting flak from employers for even that sort of thing. (Getting a cab, or taking the bus I mean.)

So, I don't care anymore. We have rules for a reason, and you all can follow them, or uphold them. Which ever may be the case for whoever is reading this.
