my current employer is preparing to do an IPO with almost half a billion dollar in volume this month and still isn't profitable. Looking forward to see how much my shares are actually worth in a few months. Not sure if we are still considered a unicorn though.

Tars Tarkas posted:CloudPets, which makes an Internet of Things teddy bear that lets you send audio messaged to your child and vice versa, stored all those audio messages online using MongoDB without needing proper authentication to access it. People try to contact CloudPets multiple times and are ignored, then the database gets hacked and everything is put up for ransom like a lot of other databases were recently. The article is inaccurate. The toy is illegal in Germany because it is a camouflaged surveillance system. Nothing to do with security and kids.

Neon Noodle posted:The GitHub thing is particularly galling because they hired her for the express purpose of listening to her input on inclusion/emotional work environment issues. They sought her out in the knowledge that she's an activist, she initially balked at the offer until they made the case that they were working on their corporate culture. They reached out to her for that specific reason. And then they hosed her over when she expressed opinions and tried to influence the culture in ways that she thought were more sensitive to the experiences of: women, trans women, people dealing with mental illness, etc. Well we are only getting her side of the story in that article. And her article gives the strong impression that she was the only one affected and not the rest of the team that is just as diverse as she is. Combined with the rest of her website that makes her seem like a person that is unpleasant to be around, I believe in this case it actually is more of a personal problem rather than a cultural problem.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:You know sexist pricks have said that in response to every article about sexism since time immemorial, right? You know what the other side's gonna be? "Nuh uh, she deserved it." And then you'll go "see, she deserved it." There's always an excuse to defend the status quo if that's what's most important to you. Well my argument is that even her side of the story strongly indicates she was the problem.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:It's the underlying motivation for doing the knee-jerk response, dummy. I know you think you're a special unique snowflake and nothing you think could ever come from indoctrinated bias, but there's a reason somebody like you says exactly what you said every single time a woman complains about sexism, and it's not because you're all really cool observant guys who know what's what. Please leave your assumptions and bias out of this, you don't really know anything about me For the record, I don't doubt that github in terms of inclusion is way below industry average (and that average is pretty terrible to begin with). I also have no doubts that Susan Fowler's article on Uber is accurate and I haven't used Uber ever since (and I know that that's not really sufficient activism on my part). I also don't think Coraline Ehmke is dishonest or intentionally misleading anybody. While Susan Fowler shows systemic discrimination not just against her but female engineers as a group at uber, Coraline almost exclusively talks about injustices against her as a person. Her team's work wasn't brought up once after its brief introduction - though its mission should have involved the whole team front and center. What was the "Community & Safety" doing during all those incidents? Did Coraline ever bring up her concerns with the team? Was the team's reaction not adequate? Then that should have been mentioned in the blog article as well. Or was the team's reaction silenced by upper management? Again, something for the article. The way it reads now it seems like the Community & Safety team abandoned her and I am curious to hear the story from that team.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Oh you poor baby. What I know about you is that you made a boilerplate response to an article about sexism, which feels sufficient for criticizing the fact that you made a boilerplate response to an article about sexism. You think if I knew you volunteered at your church or were really into hiking or something that that would change the fact that you did that? I am sorry if my initial response sounded like one of those boilerplate excuses. The point I was trying to make originally - with a bad choice of words - is that apart from her personal telling of the story I would also like to hear the stance of the team she was in (even though we'll probably never get a word from them). The way it sounds right now it seems her own team failed her spectacularly which I hope is not true.

DC Murderverse posted:I think literally the entire world would be better off if the government nationalized Twitter and ran it with a very strong hand towards online harassment and monitoring of fake accounts/information in exchange for actually being subject to freedom of speech laws (instead of people just thinking that they have to respect speech despite being a private loving business). It's a solid model that doesn't really lend itself to monetization, and I think literally anyone other than the people in charge now would do a better job of running the poo poo awful people off of it. Yes it's a fabulous idea to put a world wide user service into the hands of a single government, especially into one from such an irresponsible nation. (Also applies re: google and Facebook)

I founded a startup that basically is an app that decides who is right in internet discussions (so more or less Uber for Arguments). We are using advanced deep learning neural network artificial intelligences that determine which position in the argument is the correct one and then don't stop posting until every participant in the discussion has been convinced. This thread usually serves as our test and training ground for new versions of the app. Sometimes those different versions of our app arrive at different conclusions regarding self driving cars which usually doesn't end well, but as long as VC is giving us money we'll continue. Our end goal is to make internet discussions useless since you can and should instead just ask our app what your opinion regarding a specific topic should be.

Last year in this thread we argued whether self driving cars are a realistic thing in 15-20 years, now we are arguing whether they’re a realistic thing in three to five years, sounds like progress to me.

I don't know what exactly you're doing wrong but it has no problems generating, storing and auto filling app passwords for me. The password manager also requires additional authentication to retrieve your password store. It works just fine and tbh I trust google way more to keep my things secure than LastPass/1password and co.
