I'm 34 and I do work as a developer for a startup. But then again, I'm working in Germany where I saw 45+ lead developers in startups, and age is something that is mostly considered to be an asset, not a burden - as long as you're willing to learn every day. The good thing here is that you recognize hype better than when you're young.
Neither.
All parties involved seemed to have done their job perfectly well.
It's all I can judge from here. Here on HN there seems to be too many assumptions around this blog post.
Being a bully was never acceptable, not recently or before the era of political correctness. I don't envy their capability of moral distortion. For the white grande superior nationalists it seems as if it's a time where critiquing and calling them out for their bigotry and moral incoherence is willingly confused with attempts of censorship and proto-fascism. When he says "shove it", it's a bitter sign of relinquishment from someone who has nothing to lose because he has no arguments anymore to fight the system that doesn't seem to exclusively cater to him anymore.
It still baffles me that there are over 100 cities that have more than 1 Mio citizens in China and I haven't heard of most of them. I wonder what their everyday life is about, what kind of subcultures exist, who are the people that are important for their local communities, what problems each city has.
It can't be that each of those cities is just merely a copy of each other, although I understand that a lot of copy and pasting has been used in the planning of those cities. I also understand that the cultures in each city is not as heterogenous as western cities for a couple of reasons. But I still wonder: where will they go from there?
Unfortunately, the ethical chain here is only as good as it's most unethical link.
Then again, most people really don't have a good feeling being the corrosive link.
Slightly off topic: but doesn't backdoor mean that there's a particular party that has control over the backdoored software? Here it sounds like the device is calling home... or is that sufficient to be called backdoor?
"Because Adups has not published a list of affected phones, it is not clear how users can determine whether their phones are vulnerable. “People who have some technical skills could,” Mr. Karygiannis, the Kryptowire vice president, said. “But the average consumer? No.”"
Seems to be some work ahead if you want to find out which phone doesn't use this service. And we're only talking about this particular service.
That might change until the 3 is being delivered in Europe. BMW has a network called ChargeNow or something. However, it is not sufficiently large yet.
There are now a multitude of echo chambers, you could easily argue that each user has his own personalized bubble. What is different from before social and personalized media is that there is (much) less common experience anymore, no dominant common denominator like a major newspaper.
What Zuckerberg should point out is that – in a way – this is detrimental to what his alleged aim with FB is: to connect people. I'm not sure where this will lead us to. Since I started using FB more intensively I actually feel more disconnected from people than ever.
Then again, there's a general sentiment [here] that German carmakers will go under facing the Tesla threat. The RDF is strong with Tesla.
That's from someone who's considering buying a Model 3 next year.
The German car companies already have hired great engineers, but thankfully they couldn't care less about the "rockstar" label. You draw a direct line from software engineering to automobile engineering, without honoring the fact that those two branches are fundamentally different in Germany.
Do you have any evidence that buying an electric car is costing an automobile employee the employment?
Provocatively: If I would buy an i3 while working at BMW I might lose my job?
Can anybody say how well will Unity 8 work with convertible and detachable machines that run with Windows 10 out of the box? I have an HP X2 210 lying around that runs 16.04 well but without PM, Sound, detached mode and multitouch touchpad.
The Apple TV Siri actually can cope with two languages when it comes to movie names. Using Siri here I don't have to "hack" it by pronouncing English words in German.
At least the iOS keyboard understands more than one language simultaneously now. Something macOS and Android do for a long time.
