I don't think this will end well, the more this drags on, the more violent it will probably become. At some point the state will probably have a pretty good excuse to declare martial law and enforce order by military means, ultimately

Sounds a lot like consent (not consensus) as practiced in Sociocracy or Holacracy. https://patterns.sociocracy30.org/consent-decision-making.ht...

There is nothing scientific about this method in my opinion. You do not make consistent reproducible experiments, you do not control for anything, you haven't even formed a null hypothesis etc.

Judging by the maturity level of the discourse on teamblind this precisely what happened.

The fact that sensitive data like this is just one config push away from being exposed means it's a brittle design (not just the code, but the entire design /review / deployment process - this is a platform with 1 billion use

Data anonymization and de-identification is nothing new. Especially when it comes to logging. I don't get why a lot of you are downplaying it in this thread. This is just as bad as plain text passwords.

This is, supposedly, one of the top 4 global tech companies. Not some regional med-tech enterprise shop with a fleet of ageing WindowsNT servers. It is literally inexcusable.

How is this not a priority? And even worse, how is it possible that a bazillion of the supposedly smartest engineers did not fix it? In many other industry you'd get killed over this as a software engineer.

Every UX specialist and software engineer I know would be up in arms if they saw such a story in the backlog. I wonder about the internal dynamics of these work places as well.

Long division under pressure? This sounds as dumb as Password Swordfish.

Your technology will ultimately be used to kill people. Bear in mind that the US electorate showed itself capable of crowning a unhinged TV show host as its commander in chief.

I was about to say no, but then I clicked the link and the first entry I saw is an organisation I happen to know (Access-for-All, Swiss Foundation), a foundation dealing with accessible technologies. They're doing a lot of good work w

Let me argue that the only reason for this is the atomic bomb and not 'technological progress' as a whole. Technology's 'ability to create' has virtually no bearing on any of this in my opinion.

During the dot-com bubble you had a lot of companies that adopted 'digital super highway' company names. Some examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.Digital_Corporation Norris Communications > E.Digital

If this is about shitty workarounds that AMD had to add to their drivers to fix bad programming from an EA studio, well, too bad for AMD (Btw, I'm aware that all driver developers seem to have to add shitty workarounds for AAA games).

How is this a tough one? What I mean by that is that any marketing & comms person worth their salt would have prevented this employee from ever making this statement in the first place.

Deep end? I tried to illustrate that one teacher made the effort to highlight a model's shortcomings while the other one couldn't see beyond his own ideological biases.

Back in high school, our chemistry teacher explicitly told us that this is nothing but a model and that all models are approximations. At the same time our economics teacher argued that rational self-interest is the undiluted essence of hum

Yes and no. It says as much about you as it says about Angular or Vue. Look, Angular is far from being my favorite framework, and I have nothing against Vue, I'm more of a ClojureScript / om.next guy myself. I'm just really a

I really don't want to sound like an ass, but if you were at the stage of 'learning AJAX' a couple of months ago you are probably not in a position to judge the merits of JS frameworks like React, Vue or Angular.

I just spent several hours debugging a nasty npm / shrinkwrap dependency clusterf * across multiple repos and I don't think passion has any bearing on my state of mind right now.

I don't understand this argument. Elixir is still its own distinct thing, the fact that it compiles to BEAM byte code is secondary in assessing whether it is currently in a hype cycle or not. Just like Clojure, Eta, Scala, jErlang or t

If you search for Elixir on HN and sort by popularity, 10 of the top 20 results were submitted during the past 12 months (Which in itself might be just related to an increase in users here on HN, but compare the results to languages like Ja
