Former Reddit CEO Alleges Ellen Pao Was Set Up to Get Fired by Alexis Ohanian
Except, I think this is actually somewhat an example of what the author is saying, because when I click around links:

* Support

* Guides

* Login

* Blog

are all outside the SPA, and some appear to be MPA apps. And perhaps once I logged in that would be its own new app as well?

So in that sense, your website in not an SPA, you have an app for getting new signups which is an SPA, and then you have a bunch of other SPA or MPA apps hooked up to that. As the author said, "Websites can still have Rich User Interfaces without cramming the entire site into one document."

I think the point is to find a balance and realize building your entire infrastructure into an SPA will indeed break the web and your user's experience, most likely. Having a mix of SPA/MPA apps that cover the various functionality you need, and using each where appropriate, is a much better use of resources and results in a better UX.

Thanks for your advice. One of the reasons that make me think this way is it seems there are some attempts to pick up inline CSS. IME, I believe object-based (or thing-based, it does not have to be strictly related to one paradigm) system is easier to understand when I work on UI. I'm probably biased and lack of enough knowledge and experience to see it through. This is just my current guess.
So you use 2 different IR sensors, which "measure your circumference to some degree" and provide a "distance profile" which somehow translates into real-time accurate foot traffic counts. IMO that's definitely a cop-out explanation, and per usual, there is not any actual quantification.

Moreover for less dramatic conditions, there are race-based inequalities in our fundamental knowledge of medicine. Diseases that afflict Caucasians for example are far more well studied than minorities in "the west". Moreover, because of the way treatments are tested, knowledge of safety and efficacy on potential treatments is biased against minorities (drug safety studies are largely done by white male college students looking for extra cash). Some people just have 'medical privilege' and the healthcare system perpetuates that.
The Board is the CEO's boss, and he is the leader of the board, I think it's pretty straight forward. I guess I'm not sure of what you mean by he is also 'below' her on the org chart? Regardless of whatever responsibilities he held at Reddit that might be below the CEO that never changes the fact that he is Executive Chairman of the Board, which should completely clear up any ambiguity of authority.

EDIT: Thanks for clearing up this those comment links. But, my original sentiment still stands in terms of the power dynamic being clear. Just because in some capacities he is under her doesn't diminish his ability to influence her firing/hiring. If anything being in that position could prompt him to take action as a board member because he didn't like decisions she made in his role working under her. And I think Alexis mentioning that is him trying to divert attention away from the real power he actually has.

I read this book around 10 years ago. It was a very good read, and the part at the end of the book where he visits California many years later was quite interesting.

Not only does Dana describe what California was like in the 1840s (very empty) and talks about the economy (based off of ranching and cow hides), but he writes a lot about ships and sailing. He started off the voyage as a Harvard University student who knew little about sailing, and he learned as he went.

I particularly enjoyed reading about the Hawaiian sailors that were crewing ships in the area. Hawaii is referred to in the book as the Sandwich Islands. It took a while before I remembered that the Sandwich Islands was what the Europeans named the Hawaiian Islands when they were discovered by European sailors.

The book became a best seller during the Gold Rush, as it was one of very few books about California available at the time.

I very much recommend it, especially since it's freely available on the Internet due to the copyright having expired.

It depends on how you parse loaded.

I parsed it as "Loaded" as in the way I like my Baked Potatoes "Loaded" with Sour Cream and Bacon.

I can see how you parsed it the other way.

Reading the authors other posts--would it be worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that the author wasn't trying link bait?
I'm still not sure what you're getting at here. It's a zero-day exploit. Updates won't help with that.

I'm not familiar with European regulations, or medical procedures, but in the U.S., a medical diagnosis can only be made by a qualified licensed medical professional. Even making statements about diagnosing disease states via software or smartphones is enough to invoke an FDA response.
The article was written in the early hours after the agreement, before full details were out. They did add the full text of the agreement. It is much harsher than almost everything that Greece previously rejected.
That killed me when I subscribed to the NYT online. I was paying $15/mo and seeing as many ads as I would expect from a free site. I love the NYT journalism and am willing to pay for it, and I understand they have bills to pay, but it's a lot of money to be sitting on ads. In fact I canceled my subscription (not a quick or easy process) and have the same amount of advertising on their NYT Now app whether I subscribe or not. So what's the point?

I don't understand why people seem to believe that if they just keep angrily asking about it, the company will divulge the reason for Taylor's severance. It is extremely atypical for companies to reveal why they've chosen to let employees go.

It is also, literally, none of our business. Did Taylor ask people to dig into her personnel story? In a situation involving something as private and sensitive and reputational as a termination, you would want more than tea leaf reading: you'd want an overt affirmative consent from Taylor that she wanted the world talking about what happened to her at Reddit.

Apologies if that's what's happened, but I haven't seen it.

It takes measurable time for communities miles away from the epicentre to get hit, and in that time you could easily send a warning.

Many of the videos from the Japan tsunami showed people getting alerted well before the quake hit. All TV stations flipped over to a warning screen with information on the quake and a map of tsunami danger areas based on computed projections.

I can see how having the fault line directly under your city is a problem, but this "mega quake" is projected to originate off-shore.

I guess the US solution is to keep watching Twitter.

The author explicitly acknowledges that relevant factors correlate, in fact he suggests race as a factor will creep back in even if it is excluded as an independent variable.

He is thus suggesting that even given genuine group differences, different group outcomes are intrinsically unfair if the grouping happens to be race.
"Rely on the browser, not Javascript".

The author of this blog is someone I would befriend. It sounds like his work is probably non-cancerous to the eye.

While I've become rather cynical about web, it's telling that everyone is reading this and posting on a "primitive" and "laughable" site (to many web designers you DON'T want working for you), right now. I'd prefer to keep my 1995, primitive, laughable web in place. Maybe they can keep their blink tags.
>I think mentioning race makes the topic unnecessarily politicized.

How does mentioning race make the topic unnecessarily politicized?

Is there really a strong contingent that believes algorithms that discriminate against people based on their race should be implemented and deployed?

Automated discrimination is pretty frightening and we should avoid implementing such systems. Further, we should be aware it can occur and should do what we can do detect and fix any occurrences.

You're saying we should blame lower-level employees when their managers deliberately ignore their advice? No, just no. Management's job is to take the advice given and choose how to act. If we follow your philosophy then not only are we putting blame on the wrong people, but you're basically telling people they need to constantly try to undermine their supervisors, because it'll be their ass on the line if they fail to push a certain course of action.

"Not everyone here enjoys a privileged life lad."

I never said so. But comparing 1/3 under the poverty line vs. living on average on 1000 calories a day makes no sense. I'm not saying:

(2) Greeks deserve what's happening

I'm saying:

(1) The two situations, Greece now vs post-WW2 Germany, are not comparable

Hopefully, despite today's harsh agreement, Greece will recover and be part of a strong Europe.
And yet he has never received the sort of backlash or vitriol that Pao has. I've always been up and down about how much gender and sexism has played a part in all this, outside that it a "small" minority of Reddit is influenced by it.

> Will it be harder to onboard developers? Will debugging code be more difficult? If the answer to any [sic] of these questions is yes then the BFED will say no to preprocessors.

— TFA

Read literally, the paragraph says “If there are any downsides, do not use preprocessors.” A more balanced approach of weighing upsides and downsides is not supported by the original text.

If the author wanted to say something different, he can and should have done so. I encourage him to change his call to action from “say no to preprocessors” to “be conscious of decisions.” It’s much more defensible and realistic!
Reminds me of The Usual Suspects.
Our moral instinct is confused because our political agitators have based normative (should) conclusions on positive (is) claims. I.e., "racial stereotypes are incorrect, and therefore it's morally wrong to base decisions on them".

See, for example, this long thread where this conflation is made: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8368876

The claim is logically false - you can't prove a normative claim without a normative premise. In my example above, one possible normative hypothesis would be "and it's morally wrong to use incorrect premises to make decisions" (or possibly "it's morally wrong to use incorrect racial premises to make decisions").

Now our algorithms are revealing that underlying positive claim (e.g., "racial stereotypes are incorrect") might not be true either.

This is confusing, and rightly so - it demonstrates our entire belief system was predicated on nonsense. Hopefully we'll actually respond with some useful analytical philosophy.
Really long time ago I found a similar behavior in one of my sites. And it was because I had Awstats publicly accessible and they were interested in put their link in the page as it was indexed by Google.
A policy to let people propose pet projects and then give them 10% time for it.

Oh, yeah, no.

I have read research on this. You can foster a culture of innovation by doing things like giving away theater tickets, giving them time to do whatever the heck they want without proposing anything and seeing if anything useful turns up, and generally giving them more leeway to screw off, not less. The minute you try to slave innovation to results, you kill it. It just dies.

I wish I could recall the name of a book or article or something. I cannot. Innovation is about putting different things together. You want to foster creativity by getting people doing different things and then find a way to capture the value. If you try to determine first if it has value, this will not work. It is a little like the idea that for brainstorming sessions, it is critical that you NOT pass judgment. You just toss out ideas and write them down, no matter how wacky sounding. Then you judge them LATER. Creativity and innovation need to be born of a situation with few constraints. These things do not perform on command. Milking them for value has to come at a later stage.

Start hobbyist type clubs at work. Have social events for people to meet and greet. Get cross connections going. Give away tickets to theater or other enriching experiences. Feed the creative process. Don't try to make it "productive" from the get go. Capturing value has to be a later step in the process.

Best of luck.

Ask HN: Coaching as my next career at 63?
I'm 61 and have 10 years experience as a scrum coach. I am a development manager and very part time developer for a team of 3 total at a University.

I have coached individuals ad-hoc successfully several times with many staying in close contact and thankful for my help. All pro-bono. I mentor high school students in STEM career choices on an ongoing basis also pro-bono.

I will have the chance to retire in two years and have been assured that I can find lucrative scrum coaching work as a contractor. But, I don't want to be coaching scrum all day. I would rather be coaching the development of professionals. I have built and sold two small businesses, have been a successful systems integrator and business systems analyst and a bank compliance advisor. So I am not afraid of new things. I'm told I have very good interpersonal skills for someone technical.

I'm planning on getting certified in some coaching disciplines like Gallops Strengths Finder (which I love SF) in the next two years.

What certifications should I avoid and what might be good to consider? What other advice do you have for me?
While the ordering of messages is part of the protocol, it's not a required part - there's no guarantee that a phone will correctly indicate the number of parts of the message in the header(s).

Given that, I'd rather say "this feature will fail in this way" than "sometimes, depending on your phone and carrier, your long SMSs may be split into multiple parts, the second of which will posted as a public message".
..maybe, or 30-40 years from now we might not have made any progress, then what?
That might be what you expect - but I think you're in the minority :) Most non-technical users will try to click the back button regardless. Is there even an agreeable definition as to what a web site is versus a web application? Is a discussion forum a web site? What about something like Slack?

I would personally categorize an online discussion forum as a web site but something like Slack as a web app. But I would expect the back button to behave similarly between the two.
