"They may require objective criteria or standardized processes and established ranges for compensation for certain positions, but that's not the same thing at all."

In theory, you might be correct. But practice is much different. My Uncle wanted to get a raise. He couldn't just ask for one. He had to go to the Union board who then had to talk to company management to not only give him a raise, but everyone else in his department that had the same position. This is what I'm talking about.

It creates other problems as well. In Denmark, for instance, youth and lower-skilled people just aren't being hired. Why? Because it takes a literal court case with the union and the company to fire someone. So, companies don't want to take risks on employees that they don't think will work out in the end.

The sad thing is that unions will destroy competition and then the same people that fought to get the unions in place will then start crying about busting up the same monopolies that they created.

Just like how unions fought for a $15/hour wage increase, but they are exempt. They fought for government-run healthcare, but yet again, they are also exempt from the dues.

I guess I'm tired of seeing people blindly giving all of their power away to the many greedy organizations that call themselves unions.
Be serious. Google isn't going to pervert a host countries laws especially not France which is one of the gatekeepers of the EU. Plus France would know lots of subsidiaries were being created and just implement additional safeguards.

Google is carefully taking a stand here.

No, this is feeding into that "meritocracy" myth again. You're assuming that everyone is perfectly rational, and only looks at code, when in reality this is far from the case. In reality, the interviewer looks at you as a person, and has their own biases.

Some people are perfectly capable of doing the work, and are passed up for completely irrational reasons. Empathy, try it, please.

Robotics/computer science academic focus with a longer history in mechanical and electrical work. Looking for something interesting and challenging, even if it doesn't match my experience perfectly.
I like this article and the author makes a lot of great points. However I also disagree with the main thesis that the internet has become worse or dumbed down.

> I miss when people took time to be exposed to different opinions, and bothered to read more than a paragraph or 140 characters. I miss the days when I could write something on my own blog, publish on my own domain, without taking an equal time to promote it on numerous social networks; when nobody cared about likes and reshares.

My disagreement is on two main levels. One, the internet of yore, that the author describes in this quote, is not gone. It still exists. Trivial proof lies in the existence of this post and it's ability to shoot to the top of HN. The internet has only expanded, to include different types of content and different communities. The "book internet" still exists and yes a "tv internet", which some might describe as worse, also exists.

And the expansion of the internet to include new forms of content brings me to the second reason I think the "new internet" is not worse: it is more accessible. The mainstream has come and joined the whole internet thing. And yes, while it might be decried by those who enjoyed it the way it was before, there are a lot more people other than them who are enjoying it now. And I think that's a good thing.
I concur - this is an act of corporate imperialism on the part of Google, and it should be no surprise that - as an American company - it flaunts its ability to ignore the will of sovereign entities freely. Troubling times indeed .. I hope this will be reversed in the near future, because I think the right to be forgotten is a very human right, and should not be impinged upon by those who have nearly no other purpose than the rampant commercialization of citizens as consumers. My citizenship is more important than my function as a consumer. Google need to be taught some respect for this fact, alas ..

Verified Profits REVIEW BINARY Need to Know *THE TRUTH*
"if you can show a active github profile with clean code that shows you are pro-active or a expert in stack or domain, why would "they" not atleast contact you back."

Because you're older, or a minority, or female...
Because the precedent is dangerous and is a very slippery slope. RTBF will easily start applying to politicians, from there we'll let's also remove XYZ and soon we're in China.
If you want an imprecise (conservative) garbage collector, the GC and the compiler are almost disjoint. The GC only needs to know where the heap and stack are, and be able to capture register values at GC time. In other words, it's a runtime-library issue, not a compiler issue. (See the Boehm GC for an example that works with a stock C compiler.)

If you want a precise garbage collector, you need type information to know which heap and stack slots and registers are pointers. This is much harder because your compiler needs to emit metadata for each struct and then keep stack frame info or somesuch at the GC safe points so the runtime knows what the thread's roots are.

Most of the precise GCs I know of are in JIT'd or interpreted languages where you have this type info anyway... AOT-compiled Lisp is the one counterexample I can think of, but usually Lisps solve this in a different way by using tagged pointers (so you know if any heap slot is a pointer by e.g. its LSB).
As for "remastering" the patent images, here's how to do it.

Patent images are stored by the USPTO in TIFF form, which is a lossless compression. For years, they were delivered to users from the USPTO site in TIFF form, and you had to have a TIFF plug-in to view them. Last year, the USPTO switched to displaying PDF files instead. Those are harder to process in programs.

You can still download the TIFF files, but only in bulk.[1] They're available in blocks of about 10GB, each covering a range of patent numbers. You need about 10TB to store the whole set.

> The hardest problems--mostly around people--are more similar than they seem.

That's a good point and reflects my own experience. But I'd be hard pressed to generalize what I've learned in my career in IT/IT related start-ups and take that and apply it to say a company that creates a new medicine or one that tries to commercialize some new medical instrument. The sales avenues in that domain are radically different from 'just' IT based start-ups and just like I wouldn't see a bio-tech person run an IT firm the reverse probably holds true as well, ditto for advice to such management.

I recently had a long and in-depth look at an organization that sells a lot of physical goods on-line and even in that case there was so much domain knowledge wrt to the retail portion of it that without a CEO with significant knowledge in that particular field they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Anyway, you're doing pretty good so far, can't wait to see you prove me wrong :)
Quibble: surely that should be 'ultimate act'. The meaning of 'penultimate' implies a further ultimate act. Since bonsai are essentially immortal, you would never be able to tell if an act involving one was penultimate?

Well, Google does have programs to take revenge porn out of many search results, and does (unsurprisingly) have programs to rate truth above falsehood: that's part of the search quality about which they're so passionate.

The bit where the state says they'll punish you if you don't comply---if you don't stop talking about the things they want kept quiet? That's state censorship. What else could it be?
But then again, why should they have a right to ask google not to show a newspaper article that is legal for the newspaper to keep online?

It sounds like a end run around press freedom to me.
I think that for learning basic programming the best language might be Haskell. A lof of people doesn't have in mind that program is "mostly" simple tranformation of data that can be composed of many functions. I think haskell with it's purity and strong type system teaches it fast. REPL helps. But I also believe in educational power of simple C, although it doesn't have REPL or anything like that, but combined with some simple introduction how computer really works - maybe RAM model gives quite an insight. But learning is fastest when you can see cool things happen fastest and I don't think any of 2 mentioned above is good at this. But yeah - for very basics of programming I would rather pick Haskell over Ruby.
Exactly, I find myself feeling uneasy while reading the article.

I thought 'Right to be forgotten' was something organisation like EFF stand for.
I'm curious how smart auto-complete in PyCharm compares to IntelliSense here. The claim that a variable's lifecycle is followed from beginning to end is interesting. I'm finding that the JetBrains autocomplete knows what a variable's type is maybe the first or second time it's mutated, but often loses track. It's had the positive effect of lessening the amount I rely on re-assigning values to the same variable, but I wonder if IntelliSense can actually deliver here.

Yeah, but you've still got to keep very tight biological control over that vast area. I can't think of any other type of project which is directly comparable.

Another thing I'm thinking of is how authentic are the users? Is Katy Perry really Katy Perry or is she a team of ghost writers? That really turns me off about Twitter. Likewise I'm very impressed when the actual account owners tweet but who knows, It still might not be them.

As for new user onboarding one thing that I think could work is if you get them to start searching for interests through their search functionality. That's how I found a lot of interesting accounts.

"The main spirit of the french RTBF law is to protect citizen privacy when published media can have negative effect on their life."

So you're saying its impossible to have decentralized software that non-tech-savvy people can use? That seems a little backwards from a cause and effect perspective.

Making software centralized makes it easier for non-tech-savvy people to use, as there are incentives to people to make their websites more accessible (larger profits). Decentralized services aren't somehow fundamentally incompatible with usability—its just a challenge we haven't tackled yet.

Why would it be weird that it was a thing at all?

Renewables have usually been more expensive than fossil fuels. We're at a point in history where we're transitioning the human race from being 99% in absolute poverty into fractions of that. Yes, fossil fuels are not sustainable, but for the sake of bringing people out of poverty I think the reasons why we used fossil fuels will be obvious to an historian who isn't clouded by their own futuristic first-world bias.

YC operates like a startup would: they have a bold hypothesis, something that must be challenged ("most science is a slog"). There is very little chance that they could be right, but in case they are, and they execute well, the benefits could be huge.

Speeding up life sciences development cycles the way development cycles in software engineering have been sped up is the goal, but the way to do it is hard and complex and uncertain. It requires funding, perseverance, trial and error, incremental improvements as much as breakthroughs. YC has proven they're good at all of this.

This article is so bad you can't even tell which grant out of many similar ones it probably is. About fifteen years ago, it was a problem for researchers of moving large data stores, and whether it's faster to do it with a network or with suitcases full of tapes. Who pays for the storage, where it's kept, and who is allowed to access it. These grants are usually denied, and so each group of researchers scrapes up their own little partial datastore and ships graduate students and postdocs back and forth from the uni to the Cern/DeSy/Fermilab/SLAC/wherever, sometimes with suitcases full of tapes on the return trips. I'm a little surprised that it's still a problem for them.
