This is true. For over a century Nokia has bounced from one industry to another. As I like to tell people, "Nokia was pivoting before pivoting was cool" :)

We will do more great things at Nokia.

If Comcast had any competition they would be the ones paying for the better connection to Netflix. It is supposed to be in Comcast's interest to provide their customers with the access they want or the customers would switch to another provider that does offer it. Comcast is selling access to the Internet are they not?

Netflix should be paying Comcast ZERO!
Absolutely. I now block all of Google's cookies, and just don't bother with the few services (e.g. Docs) that I used to have an account for.

I'm an AdSense publisher, so occasionally I need to log in to see how much they've been screwing me. I just have an alternative browser for that.
I think the repercussions of this are wildly underestimated by Apple's and Google's management, and they are not doing nearly enough to prevent upcoming mass resignations of their engineers.

I'm just extrapolating from my own emotions on the issue. I'd previously thought very positively about going to work for Apple. Not so anymore. To me, the fact that Tim Cook's voice isn't clearly heard, completely rejecting this sort of practice, issuing a public apology on behalf of Apple, and ensuring to compensate employees by more than a few thousand dollars each - Is just too big of a de-motivator.

We need the CEOs to clearly voice their accountability, and their plans to prevent this from happening again, the sooner the better.

So, it's gonna be apache all over again. Where they maintained their own fork, with no security patches applied.

Or perhaps like OpenSSH, where a linux user is forced to `./configure && make && make install'.

>> "Are the gains from a team drinking together bigger or smaller than those from having people who wouldn't join such a team?"

Why does the team have to drink together? Why not go out for dinner, play pool, have an office BBQ? I like to drink but I've never wanted to do it with my superiors. The risks involved if it goes wrong (i.e. you get too drunk and say something stupid) are too high.
Calendaring that actually works
No, no, no.

This is where the debate goes wrong. Being a decent person to women isn't some kind of personal sacrifice you need to make, it's a strict subset of being a decent person in general. If someone knows less than you about something, you should not mock that person or make them feel inferior, you should help them. That is the right thing to do, irrespective of the gender of the person you're dealing with.

We should think of programming as a large fellowship (the word 'community' is overused, but it would also work here). You meet another person who is interested enough in programming to get started, then that person is your brother or sister. You want to help them, partly because it's the right thing to do and partly because it is in our collective interest to do so. We don't need bad programmers out there, screwing up because nobody helped them, and we don't need to scare off the beginners before they've even had a chance to learn much. Sure, people should have their mistakes corrected just as a journalist might expect to have their typos corrected by a sub-editor, but there's no reason to do it in a harsh or critical way. Just be a nice person about it, it's really not so complicated.

domain business is a strict business,first come first served.
but do you know that all the .ng domains are controlled by nira (Nigeria Internet Registration Association),do you know that Mary Uduma (the president of nira) and Sunday Folayan (the vice president of nira) and their nira will steal customers domains suddenly then sell them privately?

i registered games.ng with http://www.whogohost.com/ on 2013-05-24,2013-7-4, Mary Uduma and Sunday Folayan and their nira transfer out this domain from my account suddenly even without a email notice then sold it privately for $10000 usd per year, every year. (i heard the price from a registrar)

The thing is that g+ was pretty useless for early adopters because it lacked so many features - an obvious were events, it boggled my mind that Google had Google Calendar which syncs to every Android device, but g+ had no means of creating an event for almost a year.
There're actually more flavors of management role than just those two, and the terms get a bit confusing when you try to map them:

1.) Tech lead. This is the technical point of contact for the project as a whole. Responsible for deciding overall system architecture (usually by acting as the tiebreaker when there're debates within the team), determining priorities, either assigning work or creating systems where the team can identify what needs to be done and do it, interfacing with their PM, pitching in technically when needed, and ensuring the overall engineering success of the project.

2.) Engineering management, or more generally, people management. This is what's reflected in the official org chart. Responsible for career development of subordinates, keeping reports happy and ideally still employed at Google, dealing with personnel issues, HR issues when necessary, managing performance, coaching, giving feedback, getting their reports promoted, stepping in when the employee has done something inappropriate, etc.

3.) Product manager. Drives the product vision of the project forward. In theory (and hopefully often in practice) they represent the user and are responsible for building something users want. Daily duties include negotiating with other functional areas of the org (legal, PR, security, privacy, accessibility, etc.), doing market research, analyzing data, representing the team in meetings, keeping the product vision, coming up with new ideas, often building mockups (although this is often outsourced to UX), ordering T-shirts, getting approvals, and generally doing everything necessary to get the project to launch.

4.) Program managers. These are process-oriented managers that are often attached to infrastructure or devrel teams that have ongoing responsibilities that impact a number of consumers. Their job is basically organization and communication: they make sure everyone knows what they need to know and that all external requests are eventually handled with nothing important being dropped on the floor.

#1 and #2 are both done by engineers, although #2 is sometimes done by dedicated engineering managers. #3 and #4 are specific job titles. Sometimes #1 and #2 are the same person, sometimes they are separate people; many people find things run more fairly and more efficiently if technical decisions are not made by people with direct authority over your career, although others prefer to have their manager be intimately familiar with their work because it helps come promotion time.

#1 and #3 also map to startups, where a "tech lead" is basically the "hacker" while a "product manager" is basically the "hustler". #2 maps to the "adult supervision CEO", while #4 maps to "super talented admin who keeps the books, knows all the employees, and keeps the company running."
I don't think anything needs to be integrated into Google+. They need to integrate Google+ with the rest of the web. I have a photo on Google+ that I want to send to a friend on a dumb chat client or email. How do I do that using a single URL? I don't want to send someone an interactive sharing experience, just a URL. If they decide to use the platform for further communication that's great but you shouldn't have to.

I think it is partly a case of being more determined.

Many people drift into what they end up studying (even today with it costing so much: the amount of people getting into a mountain of debt working towards a degree they ended up in "just because" always surprises me), and with the social pressures of the past women have been far less likely to coast into sciency courses then men.

That means more of the one who are in those courses are there because the specifically want to follow that path, and have the brass ones to help fight the subconscious (and sometimes more open) sexism that exists in many people on the matter, rather than just because they need to do something and it seemed a reasonable choice at the time. The people who have planned out their path this way (men and women) are more likely to end up following it into a successful career, the others (of which most are men) are more likely then the former set to eventually decide on (or otherwise end up in) something else.

This should fade over time - I don't know about other sciency/engineering areas but the "not a place for women" thing seems to be rapidly falling away in the techie circles I inhabit (though as I'm not a women and not the most observant person on the planet, there might still be stuff there that I'm not at all concious of).

SFTP is SSH File Transfer Protocol, and is actually its own protocol (not FTP over SSH).

There's also FTPS, which is FTP with TLS. That's closer to "secure FTP," but as @segmondy pointed out, this isn't what they use.

When I read it I thought the author was claiming plain FTP was secure too.
You can go on for years. The paper bill you own doesn't hold up its value. You can keep $1 in your pocket but five years from now it hardly actually worth $1. Furthermore, how much is fair? 300K per person? Some of them could have gotten a 50K bump by switching to a new employer. If anything, large sum large number of plaintiffs is usually one of the longest trials you will ever experience if neither side let it go. You can withdraw from the case and start your own lawsuit for more, I guess that can work in legal.

Microsoft beats expectations with nearly unchanged revenue
So I think the no "well-actually" policy is because people saying "well actually" prevents people suggesting improvements because they don't want to say something that might sound stupid. The hacker school manual goes into greater detail.

Having teambuilding events around drinking increases homogeneity, because that kind of event is most attractive to your average 20-something white male, and least attractive to a lot of other groups (e.g. people who don't drink from preference or religion, people who don't want to hang around with drunk people for various reasons etc). So the gains from diversifying team building should far outweigh the loss of this one narrow kind of event.
Drinking together builds trust in a way that sober events don't, precisely because of those "risks". Doing it regularly creates an environment where it's much harder for parts of the team to lie (maybe not even intentionally) or keep secrets from each other, and it adds a channel of communication where criticism is more welcome or at least excusable/deniable. When I've seen companies fail it's largely been because communication broke down and the people on one end knew what the people on the other end were doing wrong but had no way to tell them.
women bought into stereotypes 10 or so years ago which prevented them from learning the key skills. Quite recently geek has become sheek so those stereotypes are no longer a barrier to entry, but never the less the belief in those old stereotypes already skewed the numbers heavily in the favor of men. Programming just has not been "cool" long enough for enough women to have learned the skills... it takes years, perhaps decades to become a strong developer
No drinking at work?

“NiRA and Nigeria are not interested in your games.ng, so I do not see any reason why you should not get that one.“
but until today, i get 0 domain from nira, i get $0 from nira.
Applying the security update took minutes, even on a large number of hosts, thanks to automation.

The harder part was working out how to treat things from there, did we need to assume we'd been hit in the past, and regenerate certificates? That took a good couple of hours of debate with different people.

Call it half a day to be generous.
> My experience is that the Real Names policy was hated by a small but vocal and influential group of users.

Another way of putting this is that most people don't need pseudonyms, but the people who need them really need them. Search for .e.g. "google outed me".

Google missed the boat on that, big time.
You're right. Part of the problem here is that the only people really talking about fairness, office conduct or working conditions in the industry are people coming from a feminist perspective, which leads people to think that these are "women's issues" rather than more general ones. Plenty of men in the industry are taken advantage of, but we haven't worked out how to talk about this properly yet. Likewise, most of the recommendations about treating people decently and standing up against abuse of power would benefit men too. How many men want to work in toxic environments? I'd imagine it's very few.

For my part I'd rather see a bit more discussion about what good workplaces look like, and what might be best practices, and a bit less cod psychology and gender mysticism.

Social constructivism again. Including, as usual: 1) cherry-picked statistics, 2) made-up anecdotal explanations without any scientific base, 3) a couple of dogmas about how it can and should be, and 4) a made-up solution wihout any scientific base.
Arbitration requires authority, not authorities. Authority can be granted with limited scope, for a limited time, after which the authority vanishes. Authorities eventually must be bribed or defeated in battle due to scope creep.
I assume it's about setting expectations. If you meet your true love at work, company policy isn't going to stop you.

But company policy might give you an easy way out when someone is hitting on you (and you aren't interested), without hurt feelings.

Also, this isn't just about men hitting on women; it also goes the other way.
You're distorting my meaning and trying to make this conversation thread about something that it isn't. The thread started with a discussion of healthcare advances as a means of enabling wealthy family dynasties to grow their wealth while the rest of us didn't have access to that technology. It was rightly pointed out that healthcare advances (excluding specialised labour intensive surgeries) have consistently quickly become available to the majority of people within a country.

Yes, you can always point out that elsewhere in the world people are living in extreme poverty. It's tragic, but if you try and skew every debate on inequality towards this fact you will never get anywhere. It's perfectly reasonable to have two discussions - one, to discuss the great inequalities of our global capitalist system, and a second to discuss the relative wealth equality within individual countries or countries of comparitive wealth. This comment thread was started as the second type of discussion.
Maybe the only bright side I see to this is, a red line has been drawn, a multi-million settlement is drawn out, and everyone knows if there is a next time the penalty would be even worse.
"No drinking at work events."

".. If you want to drink, be my guest. Drink. You're a grown up. I'm not the boss of you. But don't drink in a situation or event that is officially connected with work in any way."

I think this idea is due to the over consumption of alcohol that seems to be the norm in the U.S. now. Europeans, on the other hand, seem to have much more mature attitudes around alcohol.
Both very good solutions although i prefer the Linux Foundations answer.

I'm amazed however that it took the Heartbleed incident to make big companies realize that hey we have been using these free and open source pieces of software everywhere maybe we should contribute back with some money or a few full time employees working on it.
> In an earlier post I noted that many software developers I've known have traits of Aspergers. Aspergers is a spectrum disorder ...

No it isn't. After an epidemic of overdiagnoses about ten years ago that forced psychologists to accept that they had no way to reliably identify it, it was voted out of existence by the editors of DSM-5, the current diagnostic manual. Before you object that Asperger's exists whether or not psychologists believe in it any more, think about what you're saying about psychology's scientific standing.

Psychologists rarely abandon established diagnoses, in fact it's happened only once before. Can you name the behavior, now regarded as a civil right and defended by a number of federal laws, that was branded a treatable mental illness until the 1970s?
Interview with Fabien Campagne about DSLs, bioinformatics and his new MPS book
My point is that the entire article is filled with this collection of very strange anecdotes.
The Rule of Steves says that, in any workplace, the number of female programmers will never exceed the number of programmers named Steve. I worked one place where that wasn't true, but only because it was overrun with Johns rather than Steves.
I have to agree that the sentiment seems strange to me. All my employers have had multiple receptions, celebratory drinks or lunches where alcohol was served and consumed. No one ever got drunk or misbehaved because of it. People are smart enough to be moderate in their alcohol consumption.

Note that in my country (Belgium), alcohol consumption at work is illegal, so these events were always after work hours or during lunch breaks. Technically, people had to badge out before consuming alcohol.

> If someone knows less than you about something, you should not mock that person or make them feel inferior, you should help them. That is the right thing to do, irrespective of the gender of the person you're dealing with.

Why do you assume that merely telling someone that they are not qualified is the same as mocking them ? Sometimes the best way to help someone is to let them know that they're going to need a year or more of disciplined study in a particular area before they'll be capable of contributing in a meaningful way to the given project. It's better to tell them that up front than to string them along under the false pretense that they'll be able to "pick up" what is needed along the way
The radios in Nokia phones were always superb.

I live in an area of poor mobile coverage [known as "the UK" ;)] and Nokia phones were amazing at operating reliably in marginal signal conditions.

The last Nokia I had was an N95 which was a pretty good phone. The 6310i was probably the best of them all (up till quite recently there were people in the UK, usually travelling salespeople, who were hoarding these and buying them up on eBay for when theirs broke).

Although the phones I've had since are smarter and shinier, none of them have a radio of quality remotely close to the Nokias. They won't operate in places I know the Nokias worked fine. And they often seem to lose mobile signal completely, requiring a restart (or switch to flight mode and back).

Many things get better over time, and I love the features of my Android phones, but I do miss that quality RF design. RF is hard ... just look how long it took Apple to get it right! [1]

[1] Although that did mean that the first iPhones had amazing engineering debug screens for the mobile network side as a side effect of the problems they had.
That's a US-centric article. I think those rules will have to be relaxed slightly here in London. Still, leave the heavy drinking for those who want to go on the the pub, which is not strictly a "work event". If your London workplace has much diversity, you may have several co-workers who don't drink at all.
Slightly OT, but OpenSSH now supports the use of signed certificates, giving you the ability to expire and re-sign credentials. The feature was added recently, so I'm confident they're not using it yet.
