Come on, he didn't fund the war in Uganda. I don't share his views or anything but I don't see why "not liking the gays" or whatever should have any influence at all on whether or not he's suitable to run a tech company. It's not a political office.

I have a huge level of mental conflict on this issue!

I am a supporter of equal rights and gay marriage. When I see comparisons made to other civil rights issues (i.e. "Would we accept this guy as CEO if he thought interracial marriage was wrong?" or "Would we accept this guy as CEO if he thought women deserved less pay?") it seems like a no brainer to me that, no, a person who held those views would never be tolerated as a CEO. And gay marriage, gay rights are an important issue and should be held in the same regard. Using that logic, one could conclude he is not CEO material. Not to mention that as a representative of the company they are getting some unpleasant press over this, nor does he seem to have the confidence of his employees that a leader should have.

On the other hand, it seems distasteful to me that we say to people, "We don't like your views. You need to go away now." ... Shouldn't diversity of thought, diversity of social and cultural and religious views be considered a good thing in an organization? Shouldn't we be trying to build teams of people with whom we aren't always going to agree on things with?

Here's the proposition's full text:

It hardly vilifies anyone--it's pretty stupidly worded as is ("marriage"? What is that? How does it compare with "civil union"?)

Look, did you vote for Obama or Bush? Then you too have actively vilified people and acted to take away their rights.

We can't punish people for participating in our form of government, even if we disagree with them. Aaargh.
So preventing equality is not bigotry then? I would argue that calling out something like that is noble, not fascist.

Labelling the people who criticised Eich as fascists is as bad as calling him one for his beliefs.
If this is your situation, you have other technical problems that, yes 99.99% of the people do not have. Something like a UDP proxy with FEC and proxy side stripping of cruft and external requests. Downgrading from https -> http is only solving a portion of your problem.
Correct -- they handle the idiom more gracefully in the context of an array-backed list, not an array. I elided the two as postgres arrays don't quite fit cleanly into either. (For example, evaluating arr[i] is O(i) for postgres arrays of variable width types.)
As mentioned in another comment[1], the reason HN grew and got off the ground was because of who was behind the incubator/site. PG was well known in the scene when it started. I certainly commend them for getting the site off the ground, and if it gains traction, major props to them.

However, reading the team, I haven't really found any names I instantly recognize for doing something big/memorable for the industry. I'm not saying they're not qualified, they certainly are. (I'm in the biotech/biomed scene)

In the console game world, softwares(games) can decide the fate of consoles. Dreamcast failed BEFORE PS2 is released, due to Final Fantasy X, XI and XII. Another example is that Xbox survived because of Halo.

In my opnion, Office is the ace software of Microsoft. It is even the de-facto standard. Therefore Microsoft should keep them exclusive on their platform.
I wouldn't call it a witch hunt. Now every Mozilla employee's work is contributing to Eich's paycheck. The paycheck with which he will (has) donate(d) to oppose gay marriage. If I was a Mozilla employee, this is not something I would want to be contributing to.

This argument can obviously be applied to any employee in the company, but it's severely exacerbated when it's applied to the CEO, who's getting a huge paycheck and is serving as the face of the company. It would be nice if we could separate his work from his personal life, but that separation does not actually exist. His personal endeavors are fueled by his professional life. (This is why we all work, really).

That Microsoft is broadening where and how customers can use Office is interesting.

But what's shocking is that the first tablet-optimized version of Office is arriving not on Windows RT, but on iOS. That speaks volumes about the state of Windows today – and about how Nadella is under no illusions.

Office for iPad may have started under Ballmer, but it's hard to imagine it getting this high a priority without his successor making what I'm sure was a tough call.
That's not a Godwin. Nazis were/are well known to promote hate based on differences between people and promote laws to keep certain groups oppressed. It's a perfectly valid comparison.
Thank you for posting this.

It's insane that there's this witch-hunt over someone's personal views, and the fact that this outlandish behaviour is actually supported and applauded by people.

If anything this just gives more credence to the 'gay agenda' conspiracies that up until fairly recently no one took seriously...

Perhaps off subject but I think there is a need for a non-destructive, functional script-based image editor. I find, as a programmer, I prefer using ImageMagick when I can. Wouldn't it be nice to have the intuition of a UI backed by scripting? Imagine that at each step in your function, you can tweak it using traditional ui tools and the "tweaks" are automatically reflected in the script. To get the final export, you simply use the original image as the argument of your function.

Or perhaps such a thing already exists. If so, I'd like to see it.
Interesting. Do you happen to remember the actual moral choice they had to make? It seems to me a belief in free will encourages (potentially amoral) reprisals and vigilantism in a way that a belief in determinism doesn't necessarily encourage.
>> The freedom to have your own opinion on things does not protect you from the consequences of those opinions.

Yes. In the same vein, people publicly calling out their employers in social media (even when justified) should also realize that it's a potentially career limiting move.

I'm pretty sure there's a significant number of companies and HR managers who would be reluctant to hire people who have engaged in this type of communication in the past.
Yeah, and the employee's view is that he's not fit for CEO. I'm sick of this line of thought that he can have his views but nobody else can. Especially because if it were a different issue than gay marriage nobody would be saying that.
It's rarely intentional. When you're young, friendships are unique. Your best friends are always together and it's very time consuming. If you decide to be more ambitious, it means you are also deciding to be less present in your friend's lives. It may take months/years, but you drift apart.

I've done this a few times in my life. I'm still friends with those people today, but it's the "text once in a while" kind of friendship. The kind of friendship where you talk about old memories more than create new ones. It just happens.

Photoshop got full scripting support in 2003 with Photoshop CS. Before that you had to install a free plugin and it didn't support everything but it was still pretty powerful, I don't remember exactly when that came out but I think it was first for version 6 in 2000.

Photoshop has also had full recordable macro support ("Actions") since 1996. Many photographers I've worked with have developed huge suites of actions they've created that enable them to automate much of their workflow despite having no coding ability whatsoever.

So if he donated to the KKK, would you still think "not liking non-white people" or whatever should have any influence on whether or not he's suitable to run a tech company? It's not a political office.
He has a large say in the benefits and culture of the company he's going to be running. If he doesn't believe gay people should have all the rights and protections of straight people, how are they supposed to feel about the future of their benefits and culture of the company they work for?

Also, it's not about "not liking the gays". It's about things like letting gay partners have the same rights in medical cases of their spouses as straight spouses. It's about child custody, death benefits, and lots of other very important things that may not be a war in Uganda but they are massively important and life-changing for the people involved.
It definitely is a witch hunt. What next? Are you going to fire any employee that goes on vacation to Russia, Turkey, or gasp Cuba? Or anyone that contributes to a charity you don't agree with?

For relative ease of living (friendly visa terms if you want to stay for months, English spoken natively even off the tourist trail and in most parts, relatively little tourist hassle) the Philippines is brilliant.

Thailand does holiday accommodation exceptionally well for all budgets and has plenty of quieter spots, including places you might not expect from their party reputation (most beaches on Ko Phangan, for instance). That said, certain popular Thai destinations like Pattaya and Patong probably aren't most people's idea of paradise.

Vietnam is a fantastic and interesting country and Hoi An - the one readily accessible Vietnamese spot I'd consider paradise close to the beach - is genuinely beautiful, but not being sold a suit every five minutes is hard work!

Goa is interesting enough but tourist internet access is much worse than you'd expect in India outside cities. Mangalore isn't paradise, as pleasant as the city is.

Bali has a lot to recommend it but Kuta/Legian should be avoided and the internet on the Gili islands is rubbish. Langkawi is the one Malaysian beach destination with good internet. If you're looking for paradise beaches and internet then Cambodia is best avoided.

To some degree, CEO is a political position. It is not so surprising that, if you are gay, or even if you are heterosexual but support gay rights, the publicly stated views of your organization's CEO would have an effect of your sense of belonging at that organization. I believe that it's unlikely that Eich's political views will ever affect his decisions for Mozilla, but they can certainly affect Mozilla's culture.
If I were building it, I'd just match the price to whatever the prices were on the exchange I'm using, maybe with a small amount of padding to cover pessimal volatility.
Because equal marriage is really, really important. When gay people are not accepted in society opposing something that would improve that greatly is a bad thing to do

> That Mozilla is and remains a place where any employee can express their views on political issues, even if they know they're contrary to the CEO's. And that destroys any argument for Eich's role as CEO creating a conflict with Mozilla's ability to welcome LGBTQ employees and community members.

Not that I necessarily think having Eich as CEO would make Mozilla unable to welcome LGBTQ employees, but this argument is absurd. It is not at all difficult to imagine a rule set that permits free speech while still discriminating against LGBTQ employees in some other way.

Interaction Design Checklist
There exist too-clever "gotcha" questions that are obvious if you've seen them before, and near impossible if you haven't. Those are terrible, and they fall to your "They're exams" criticism.

Other questions have layers, like an onion. Those are the good questions. They should divide the candidates into STRATA. I think the stock question is one of those.

Strata 1:
Everyone should be able to produce a brute-force, inefficient solution, and avoid the obvious+wrong solution. If not, they should have been weeded earlier by your phone screening.

Strata 2:
Better candidates should be able to produce a more efficient and readable solution, sometimes with prodding. Some candidates never get here, even with prodding ("Have you considered x,y,z?")

Strata 3:
Candidate skips straight to the correct solution, sometimes provides more than was required ("You shouldn't store data as keys; you probably want to return the time and buy/sell prices, not just the profit".) Interviewer needs to prod and ask questions here ("what's wrong with solution x? why did you do y? What if I want a list of possible trades?") to make sure it's not a memorized answer.

You shouldn't expect that, in ten minutes, your candidate can come up with the optimal solution that took you three hours. But they should be able to understand and recognize that solution if you lead them to it.

Anyone using these questions as pass/fail is doing it wrong, but that's not the question's fault.
Well, we're talking about real people with real families who want to be able to have equal protections under the law and look out for themselves.

It may not be "the war in Uganda", and it may not affect you personally, but it's certainly a critical issue for some people.
A friend of mine has the last name Miiller—i.e. "Miller" with a ludicrous extra "i". This is because when his ancestors named Müller came over, someone didn't recognize "ü" and wrote down "ii".

He's very proud of it, several generations later.

Or are you basing this from lack of eye contact and making the assumption they disregard you?
I treat everyone equally, because everyone is only human. And it doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, everyone can display ignorance.
> but I don't see why "not liking the gays" or whatever should have any influence at all on whether or not he's suitable to run a tech company.

If a person in a position of power over others (hiring/firing/promoting) has openly held views of discrimination against a certain group of people, it is a problem. It doesn't matter if he's the president, or a CEO of a tech company.

Of course, its entirely possible that he doesn't let his views impact his work or the way he treats his employees.
> I don't think that I would have believed this until I got into graduate school but it's really true. A PhD doesn't mean anything. If I told you that someone had a PhD, that wouldn't have told you anything else else about that person.

I believe the opposite. Before entering grad school i was under this impression, but now at the tail end of my PhD, saying someone has a PhD tells me that they're motivated above everything else. You don't just 'get one' for going to classes and writing a few papers. It really pushes you to establish solid techniques and approaches to conduct meaningful research. More importantly, as many ideas fail before finding something that works, it's pushes the student to stay motivated.

>"marriage"? What is that?

Marriage is a defined legal construct, not an abstract idea.

>We can't punish people for participating in our form of government, even if we disagree with them.

Of course we can. It's the government that can't. We can freely choose who we associate with, and we can freely choose to not associate with people who hold opinions that we feel are immoral, even if the opinion isn't illegal.
Indeed. But I'd describe it as modern LCDs have a default brightness that it likely too bright for most uses.

Manufacturers likely set this so that the colours 'pop' when being demoed (the same reason they sell/create/display glossy monitors, because they demo well).

Taking the brightness down almost never impacts usability, but I've found can significantly affect eye strain (that 'OMG, my eyeballs are hurting' feeling).
They certainly had a ton of responses, and possibly they plan on working their way down a list or something.

He didn't "not like the gays". He helped keep gay people from their civil rights and harmed gay families.

The relevance to the CEO job is that he is a) boss of everybody at Mozilla, and b) the public face of Mozilla to customers, donors, partners, and the public. Having actively worked against the civil rights of gay people gives both groups cause to question their involvement, and has to make some employees nervous that they will face the same sort of discrimination at work that they have faced elsewhere in their lives.

No, it's not always positive. Mob mentality like this could be 'good' when applied to civil rights, the fact that he is not a minority and his views not popular in the zeitgeist makes him a good target. Of course this sort of things is considered bad when the target is a minority. Basically, what matters is whether or not you are part of a group that is perceived to have power. That will determine how the mob treats you.
