Makes you think they don’t really want to go after the buyers.

Thanks! This is a really helpful list of resources.

This is exactly right. In fact, Engineers can't blow the whistle on a company that's violating privacy law without harming our careers. I think Engineers who carry water for unethical companies probably get paid more. Your next em

This is just .... The people working on the political and PR areas at Facebook are badass. They come from places like the Obama administration. They now have a front-row seat in the negotiations for how governments around the world are nego

Is there any kind of organization for engineers that supports these types of ethical issues? I recently resigned from a job because because of similar privacy concerns and I found it really hard to talk to anyone. My situation was a very cl

I’m really talking about the mechanism of enforcement. Your point about the legal aspects are well taken. But, once those aspects have been resolved, as in Europe, I think there needs to be a better resolution than breaking search. Think ab

I think you deserve better than just having google modify its search results. If a newspaper is slandering you, we need to make them stop.

That’s where I come down on this too. Google isn’t defaming anyone. And, what about Bing, duck duck go, or any other search engine? The guy in the article could have put up his own website to correct the record. I don’t really like that sol

This is great. I've just launched a product consultancy and I really need to start presenting at meetups about the technology we're using. It just seems like such a perfect way to get work that aligns with what you want to be doin

I think that was Lyft's model but Uber was "everybody's private driver" for their first product. They were black cars with professional drivers who did do it as a full time job. Now, "everybody's private driver

Hospitals have insurance for malpractice. My friend is an OBGYN so he gets sued every time a baby is born with complications. His view on it is that the family needs money to care for the child and the only way for them to get it is through

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. It's amazing how oblivious some people are to their bias.

because you give people who would make sure they can't bite you a hard time.

I think I understand why dogs bite you.

by spinlock 9y ago
The fucked up thing is that if you put a muzzle on your dog so that they can't bite anyone, people will treat you like you're traveling with a dangerous animal.

This is basically southwest. Because you choose who you sit next to, people with service animals board first then people who like dogs, etc... board and sit next to them. It works really well.

The author has obviously never traveled with an emotional support animal. The difference between how you are treated by TSA with an animal and without is amazing. I travel with my dog and, as soon as TSA sees the vest, I am allowed to go th

My experience with Datomic was that it is not appropriate for a system that has performance requirements. We developed a system using redis while the data team was developing the data service on Datomic. When we tried to integrate, the whol

Also, if you _need_ SSR, rails might be a better approach. It's too bad the author didn't include it in the benchmark.

Startups do not use H1B workers. A startup is actually hiring someone for a role and they can't take the risk that their guy will lose the lottery. Plus, the application is just beyond what most startups are going to have the time to d

Con-artists are the only people who want you to think that it's insulting to ask them how they are compensated. I've worked with plenty of lawyers over the years and none of the ethical ones have ever balked at explaining their fe

That really doesn't answer my question. If I win $1000, how much do I then owe? I'm cool with not recovering anything but I don't even know if my liability is capped at the judgement against Equifax. It's funny how many

by spinlock 9y ago
FYI - when you dodge the question this way, you look as bad as equifax. What is in it for you? Do you take a percentage of the judgement? I'll probably end up paying a lawyer to advise me on the best way to get back at Equifax. But, I&

this argument would make more sense to me if Lyft Shuttle were actually a bus. But, it's a car. How many SF homeless smoke crack in Lyft Shuttle? How many women are assaulted on Lyft Shuttle every day? So, not a bus, no second hand cra

There are already 3 main credit bureaus who have all of your data. It's not about the data it's about how unethical they are in preventing you from controlling the data. Think about it: if every person in america put a freeze on t

That's not the issue. They are required to immediately remove incorrect information from your credit report. A freeze prevents them from reporting your credit to third parties (i.e. it prevents them from doing business). So, they hate
