The lesson from 1918 for public health is that if you lie to or mislead the public once, even if by accident, you have reduced credibility in the future and are less likely to have the public listen to you. The authorities didn't learn this lesson and instead misled the public for 2 months, then did a 180 and expected people to blindly listen to them again.

As a citizen, would you trust the government if they did yet another 180, after demonstrating to you 2x that they didn't actually know what they were talking about?

you guys want to talk about frustration and pain from hangouts? pffff, try this:

an important new client calls you on your google voice number, which routs to hangouts. You don't yet have their number as it isn't in your Google Contacts or your Phone Contacts.

You answer, but are busy, or need to look up something for them, and you tell them you'll call them right back.

You get the info you need and you look to your recent calls for the call THAT JUST CAME IN LITERALLY A MINUTE AGO. It's not there. Hangouts does not save incoming calls. (or at least it didn't a year ago)

Why? Who the fuck knows??!

Google Hangouts: We Don't Give A Shit.

They did it against Google, Facebook, and Youtube as well.

Stick to your original point.

this is in regards to Google.

" the more likely reason is that women are being filtered out of the pipeline by sexism, not some mysterious "maybe they just don't want to" handwaving."

So you're alleging that Google is judging women more harshly than men, "at all phases of hiring".

Provide a source for THAT, please.

well there are definitely cultural and sexist factors holding women out of STEM, that I agree with. What's the solution then?

Oh and your claim that they're being filtered out by sexism doesn't qualify as handwaving?

Look, if women are being unfairly excluded from the pipeline then fight THAT. Don't blame Google or Facebook or X company for hiring the best they can. They have "diversity consultants" on their payroll for christs sake. This isn't an issue that is gonna magically be solved in a few years. Making the "pipeline" more diverse takes years of investment and education and encouragement. What I take an issue is with people blaming these companies when they're actually doing a reasonable job of trying to become more diverse. As if these companies are the ones really holding people back. and if only they could overcome their biases they'd have a perfect diversity ratio overnight.

is the cloud notifications something I could use for push Notifications in Android and iOS app?

oh please, google did their own study. They want to hire more females than any company but the conclusion was that there aren't enough women in the engineering pipeline.

So yea, the more likely reason is C) Women don't want to become engineers as much as men do, for whatever (social/biological/cultural) reason

If you get in a car accident, you pay more in increased premiums. That gives people incentive to drive safe and punishes people who get into more accidents.

If you remove any sense of personal responsibility from people's health, they will have no incentive to take care of of themselves. Everything they suffer will be covered by insurance (ie. other healthy people). That's how it is right now. Healthy people are not signing up for these shitty health insurance plans because they are being forced to pay for sick people who eat up 80% ( or some ridiculous number, i don't know what it is) of the actual costs.

It's not about "punishment". it's about people paying their own way. If other people were paying for your car insurance they why not speed, drive drunk, drive recklessly, etc. You are not personally liable for any of your driving consequences.

The reality is that people who are sick are a drain on resources. We have to decide , rationally, how much other people should be forced to pay for these sick people. If you are fine joining a health insurance plan with these people and paying more then fine, all the power to you. So are you doing that?

First of all leave your judgment elsewhere. Else there's no point in discussion because to you it's "Gross" to even have a different opinion.

It really depends on the people you have in your society and what the sick people are contributing.

Getting sick needs to have some kind of downside to it. Else people have no incentive to stay healthy. They can take as many risks as they want to their personal health because it's going to be paid for by other healthy people.

America in particular has a large obese population which is addicted to popping pills and overmedicating in general. If you give people free license to eat whatever they want or take as many drugs as they want without consequence our healthcare costs are going to be unaffordable very soon (they nearly already are)

Once you are in a system where everyone is forced to contribute, one person's actions affect others. If you don't take care of yourself and get sick, others are forced to pay for you. If you have too many people who don't take care of themselves, the healthy people are the ones who get screwed because it's effectively a wealth transfer: They're paying for sick people to have the license to do whatever they want.

The reality is that sick people are a drain on society's resources. Obviously we need a humane solution to treat them but the answer shouldn't just be a blank check. There are sick people who require hundreds of thousands of care YEARLY. They are not temporarily sick, they are permanently sick. I dont' think it's fair that they pay the same rate as healthy people. If you are permanently sick, that sucks but you should pay more of the burden.

Insurance needs to be remove from employment

ding ding we have a winner. This is a no brainer that anyone, Republican or Democrat, should agree on.

Other people are subsidizing you. Basically, sick people get a better deal. Healthier people pay more to cover sick people. I'm sure you are happy but let's not pretend other ppl aren't covering your ass.

I bought a new chromebook a few months ago. One of the nicer ones, not the super cheap one.

I'm just as disappointed as I was when I first used a chromebook 4 years ago. It's slow, already crashed once - requiring a full re-install, the touchpad barely registers my finger, and it loses battery in a few days. Seriously if I leave it alone for a few days it drops from 100% battery to like 5%.

For $449 I'd rather buy a 5 year old macbook air than use another chromebook. I'm selling mine.

Is that how you function?

i think you are taking their problems seriously :) If you had posted this comment earlier i don't think he would have saidt hat.

Obviously I don't have evidence, but it's just common sense. They have huge incentives to cheat, very few incentives to play it safe. And it's very hard to get evidence and prove guilt.

Do you really think people gambling with billions of dollars are doing so without an edge?

Think about it.

This entire comment is dismissible because it operates under the naive delusion that the majority of Hedge Fund managers abide by the law.

Is there a position for iOS?

terrible judgment by the CEO to send this.

https://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/DrChrono-Interview-RVW27...

yea you'll be stuck there for 3 days doing unpaid work at hackathon

pretty sure DRChronos has been "hiring" for several years now only to put their interviewees through 2 day hackathons and then use the code they wrote

I heard you guys make your interviewees write code for you, then you go ahead and use that code..

SEEKING WORK: Remote/(BOS or NYC)

iOS developer, discount rate, specialize in MVP

Good day! I'm an iOS Developer looking for my first-ever freelance project. I've built several personal apps using the latest versions of Swift and Firebase, and am looking to build out my freelance portfolio by helping you build your app idea.

I have used Facebook login, Parse, Firebase, and am up to date on the best iOS libraries to use for projects which will make your app look like it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, only your app will be a ton cheaper!

I don't have a portfolio yet, but that means you get me at a cheaper rate.. contact me (makthrow@gmail.com) with your proposal and we can negotiate from there.

I look forward to hearing about your projects. Thanks~

Why did you walk away from so many good opportunities and instead pursued all the wrong ones? Do you think it's your judgment? Or bad luck?

I regret listening to naysayers in my 20s. Whatever your dream or ambition may be, there will be people telling you that you will fail when they have no idea whether you will or not. They just want to stop you from trying it seems.

I wish I could have powered through instead of taking their "advice" to heart.

I think you aren't asking yourself the right question.

It's not about whether you are "Cut out" for it or not.

The most important question is: Are you doing what you want with your life? And is your current path helping you get there?

Another user suggested, that you might not even like software engineering. Sit down and seriously ponder that.

One recent example I saw (a colleague works on coaching teachers in common core) was a class of elementary students who could correctly multiply 4/7 * 5/9, but couldn't shade in 1/4 of a square. They memorized and rehearsed the procedure for multiplication, but never built understanding of what they were doing.

the author's argument is that you build understanding by doing. learning the forms and perfecting your "doing" of them is fundamental to developing insights into what is going on

some students make the leap themselves, some students need it explained to them, either way, the student needs to know the HOW before they can understand the WHY

when I lived out of my car in SoCal, I wasn't familiar with starbucks yet and so I basically used McDonalds as my table/office/wi-fi/hangout spot for the first month.

I have a soft spot for McDonalds despite what its critics may say. It's an inclusive place which accepts everyone: homeless, indigent, wealthy, kids, adults. It is cheap, unpretentious, and welcoming.

That said, this was a special McDonalds in Pasadena that was clean, had numerous power outlets, and was exceptionally well-run. The McDonalds in the rest of LA were disgusting in comparison and refused to provide outlets, presumably to keep out homeless.

I eventually switched to Starbucks because starbucks always has outlets, the coffee was slightly better (and had more options) and the wifi was significantly faster

Is there a tutorial that explains how to setup a backend for user-taken videos? for an IOS app

one thing I liked about Parse was that it's documentation was newbie-friendly.

I agree for the most part. But this kind of effort needs to be criticized. They made huge mistakes and they need to be pointed out so that others can learn and do it better on their attempts.

Their execution, (and the idea), frankly, were awful.

Execute by all means but execute smartly.
