> Last I heard companies can pay $$ to gain moderation control over their own profile to delete/downrank bad reviews.

I very briefly worked at a toxic company that was aggressive about Glassdoor reviews. From what I heard, they couldn’t get them removed just by asking. They had to carefully examine the Glassdoor rules and find a reason that a review violated the rules.

They used the argument that reviews revealed confidential company information most of the time. It didn’t always work.

When I left, I used a throwaway email and coffee shop WiFi to leave a completely accurate, honest review. I carefully made sure to comply with every letter of Glassdoor’s rules.

My review is still up.

Open source should help. Lots of people are cheaper if their work is public (it's better personal marketing and it means they've still got access to the code if they quit or the company folds).

It's worth giving serious consideration to whether the expensive 500k a year dev will outproduce five 100k, or ten 50k developers. There are serious non-linear scaling properties to increasing the headcount of engineering teams.

The traditional answer to this problem is equity, but note that engineers have noticed that illiquid equity is a different thing to salary.

There's a strong component of "If I don't someone else will", but also, usually this is the kind of thing that sucks at getting general open/free solutions, because no one does it willingly, yet it's easy for an employer to justify paying for (And economically incentivize it's development)
> “It’s a tour de force,” said Cédric Lorcé

I see what he did there.
Your argument was that anti-vaxx cannot be that bad because we survived without vaccine.

I'm simply saying that being violence cannot be that bad because we survived with very violent time.

The second line is indeed the opposite of what you have claimed, but I reached this conclusion based on the exact same logic you used to argue that "anti-vaxx is not that bad".

Again, I'm not saying violence is good or whatever. I'm just saying that your conclusions are based on your personal moral compass, and that this compass is not better or worst than others. When you say "we should decide of free speech based on how much call to violence it contains", you are free or doing that and concluding "I like this free speech cancellation, I don't like that one". But you cannot say "This free speech cancellation is fine, this one is not fine, because I happen to have the ultimate compass that tells what is good and what is bad in an objective and ultimate way".

And if you don't say the second thing and in fact you say the first, then there is no problem: you just say you don't like it. Not that they are wrong, just that you don't like it.

Personally, I think that some speech that do not call for violence are in fact creating situations that hurts more people that some speech that call for violence (for example a racist and anti-scientific discourse that explain that black people are inferior but that we should not harm them vs a discourse calling oppressed black people to resist, preferably not violently, but violently if non-violence does not work). I understand you don't agree and it is fine. But it means that there is no reason that we will suddenly do everything "your way" just to please you when your position is not better than mine.
I think even setting aside the edge device aspect of this, continual learning is quite challenging. Even doing good experiments about continual learning in a single architecture (which kind of require simulating a model's "lifetime" of exposure to a mix of previously-seen and new kinds of data) can be pretty tricky. Making architectural changes _as you learn_ as some of these researchers are discussing seems more challenging still. Aiming to do all of that with low power/compute seems like it's asking quite a lot. Co-designing algorithms, model architectures and hardware simultaneously seems like a moonshot.

Wow, big dark UX pattern when trying to sign in now. I'm quite positive that I never linked my glassdoor account to google. Yet, Glassdoor was ambiguously saying on login "use your google account to login for your @gmail address!". To which google asked "are you sure you want to share info with glassdoor."

There was no way to enter my old password, I was forced to now link my account with google which force shared my email & name. I was really nervous about even enabling this linking... I bit the bullet, happily it looks like it is somewhat easy to delete reviews and finally the account. Getting there though, was forced to divulge new information.

I don't think I could have a lower opinion of glassdoor now..

Yes and no. It seems you're required to be on a meal plan. First-year students automatically (you might be able to downgrade) get a plan for $4019 which includes 400 meals and $75. Meals vary in price though.

So if you max out on dinners ($14.97), in theory, you can get 405 dinners which would cost a total of $5974. In other words, a meal plan saves you $1955 vs buying individual meals. If you eat all three meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), the average meal would equal $12.19. In other words, you'd get $4951 worth of food for $4019.

To summarize, it seems the meal plan saves you money by giving you a discount. The problem (I assume) is that some students don't make use of their 400 meal swipes.

> Eventually, what we call software will change from what it is today into something much more accessible to these types of tools.

That's a very good point. There's that tongue-in-check assertion that Java as a language isn't a human-facing but rather a tool-facing programming language. And now I'm wondering, what would a high-level language that is actually designed from the ground up for manipulation by AIs rather than humans look like. And in contrast, I think that the human-facing interface to it might end up much more visual and graph-oriented, possibly similar to Unreal Engine's blueprints.
I think there's an explanation that is both more charitable and more pragmatic.

Companies try to keep employees happy and committed, and part of that is making sure they see a potential future / growth for themselves. As a manager I try to both make sure this is based in reality and that employees are picking up the message.

I like to think I am good at this but it's a difficult skill, and external signal to "hey, you might want to check in with Bob a bit more carefully next time to make sure he's feeling as good as we think he is" could always be valuable.

So even from Bob's perspective it's positive - he may get the extra conversation that increases his options where he stays. On the flip side, what's the malicious use case? "You updated your linkedIn so I am going to fire you" doesn't sound like company policy that's going to be implemented anywhere because it makes no sense.

If you want some curricular additions to this, you might try CMU's CS academy: https://academy.cs.cmu.edu/parents

You have to request a 'mentor' account (or if they're homeschooled you can request a teacher account). The CS1 curriculum is aimed a little older - high school students - but, from experience, a bright elementary school student can start it, though it may drag a little (the starting lessons are designed to be quick for older students).

I'm excited to see this. One of my reservations on using chain guard images previously was how they only hosted them on their own registry, which had previously yanked access behind a pay wall for using any tag other then latest. At least with this wolfi images (nominally an oss project) won't be locked in a commercial registry vs a defacto public registry.
I wonder why we don't have better (widely trusted and used) timestamping services. It has always been easy to prove that something happened after a certain time: take a photo of today's newspaper, mention stock prices, etc.

But proving that an event happened before a certain time, like in the article, is a lot harder. You can send someone an email through a trusted gateway, but people can only check by having access to that mailbox, or trusting the person who has access. And I know about PKI timestamping, but I've never seen them used for legal cases, maybe because the complexity erodes trust.

Are there any good solutions that would convince a non-technical judge?

Edit: I remember Twitter[1] being used for this purpose, but I don't know if today I'd trust a hash dropped there, given how much it's evolving and/or struggling.

Also more importantly, in a future product update:

If you pay for the Extra Premium Data Insights Package (TM), Glassdoor will happily give your real name to your employer so they can either see the reviews you've written about past employers or the review you wrote about your current employer.

While this isn't a real product (yet), you can't tell me there is a non zero risk on this one.
Parsing the Postgres protocol – logging executed statements
I built a postgres proxy for https://github.com/kviklet/kviklet. And documented how I did this because I found the byte level parsing quite interesting compared to the usual higher level REST API calls that most of my dev work consists of these days. Thought it might interest some of you as well!
> I my mind, you should read this from a "work smart, not hard" angle; it's not advice to waste your time.

I realize that I left out context and examples. To be honest, I wasn't even thinking about work when I wrote that. I was just thinking about day to day life in general. I've heard people say "slow down" to others even when it comes to hobbies and such.

You most often hear it when it comes to driving and, yes, safe driving is paramount otherwise this example is counterproductive to my thesis. I bring it up because, personally I can't stand driving as I find the experience of my time being at the mercy of others to be so frustrating that I would rather file a tax return. I think that's probably the most common source of road rage, actually. Feeling like you're not in control. I have to admit that when people say things like "We'll get there when we get there" the first thought that enters my mind is "how nice for you that your time isn't valuable." And I realize that mindset can be dangerous on the road, which is another reason that I choose to drive as little as humanly possible.
CRDTs make sure there is only one version, but that version might be garbage. Think taking all the lines from all conflicts in git. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes not. It's even worse than that: you don't know there was a conflict, so you don't know if there was a problem or not. It's trying to solve social problems with technology, it's never enough (but can bring us a good way there)

Manual merging is mandatory to have human meaning, so might as well use it all the time.

> Aren't Glassdoor's reviews pretty much a scam anyway?

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but all online aggregate reviews are a scam. There are countless ways to game them and with AI it's only going to get worse. At best, they're a weak signal of whether something is bad or good. And the bigger and more popular a review site, the worse the quality/reliability since the impact of manipulating reviews on a site with a huge audience is that much higher.

It's simply easier to down vote than it is to have a conversation. Especially with strong arguments.

The fact is: people want to believe hard work leads to success. It's a nice thought.

Many people center their entire lives around this concept. If someone challenges it, it can make them very angry.

> isn’t just down to hard work or resilience.

I'd argue it's never down to either of those. These are way too common to be relevant in the equation. Imagine if I told you all hard working resilient people were billionaires. I'd be factually incorrect and be rightfully called crazy.

But when folks don't say it out loud and instead only imply, it's suddenly accurate. Makes no sense.
This is sort of true, but confused, because it's land that has value, not housing, and the value of land increases when it's upzoned. [0]

[0] It's of course not increased when government unilaterally constructs low-income housing without reference to market conditions, which is why it's important to assure homeowners that this is not what upzoning entails.
> The availability of skills is also an issue. Many of the engineers who worked on the project - Voyager 1 launched in 1977 - are no longer around,

Can you just imagine that? You wrote software in your 30s, and then 50 years later your grandchildren have to come visit you in the old folks home to ask you:

"Grandad, why did you write this goto statement at line 1892? Our AI think it might have to do with avoiding a hardware issue?"

to which you then reply, "my dear, even if you asked me one year after I wrote it, I would not be able to tell you."
“ they are much less flexible than the old spreadsheets.”

I have seen that several times while I was a consultant. People run their stuff on spreadsheets. It’s a big mess but things get done . IT comes in and starts producing “professional” systems. Months of requirements gathering, then they deliver something. It’s not 100% right so people need to write tickets. IT may or may not make the changes. If they make a change it takes forever. People still need to do their job so they go back to spreadsheets.

My understanding is that these sorts of sites allow companies to pay to boost positive reviews to de-emphasise negative reviews, not remove bad reviews.

Still somewhat shady.
There is this theory of the Moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop from which there is no escape.
I wouldn’t call it a slur. To the extent it’s an effective insult, it’s due to centuries of behavior by black men. If someone uses “black man” to call out certain behavior, it might be worth their target considering why they got called out. Maybe sometimes it’s unfair to the black man to be called out, but often it isn’t. For folks who find it troublesome or disturbing to not receive the benefit of the doubt about their intentions as a black man, consider how much benefit of the doubt is given in everyday contexts to pretty much any individual who is not a black man.

I am not aware of anyone really successfully, defeating spam at the moment.

I mod a 1 million+ Facebook group and they can’t even prevent someone from making 200 posts in a minute with the word “crypto” in it. The word list will flag it, but the spam filter won’t.

Reddit constantly has people messaging you in chat about “opportunities.”

My personal blog has over 100,000 spam comments sitting in the filter so at least they were caught, but processing them is impossible.

There’s something odd in the lifecycle of these sorts of sites. I wonder if it goes like this:

Review site starts out as community driven, connected people tend to get involved. This provides a filter for competent users.

Companies become aware of the site, start looking for ways to manipulate their score. Companies gain access to competent employee. It is bearable for a while.

The scores are manipulated to the point where the site no longer provides a good signal. Only out of the loop dummies still use it, and it becomes a negative filter.

From this point of view, community sites are more like a crop that gets harvested. It would be better for people if it didn’t happen, but the incentive for the company seems to be: be the first one to start consuming the site.
