Considering that most elite universities started as male only and have taken a long path to inclusion, it is unlikely the power dynamics there have gone from biased pro male to biased pro female. So yes, the hard won primacy of women in higher education is probably the natural order of things.
This is a frustrating message to the developer community. I've submitted bugs in the main FB bug tracker (e.g. https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/434542786631253?browse=...). They've been "looking into the issue" for 7 months.
Be wary of installing this extension, and this is why:
It's not lost on the legal world that no one reads Terms of Service. As a result, TOS are rarely enforceable in court, except inasmuch as they comply with broad industry standards.
However, compliance requirements are much MORE strict for parties who demonstrably should be aware of their legal obligations. Lawyers, for example, can't really argue that they didn't read a legal document they executed because of the manner in which it was delivered (in an inscrutable TOS doc, at the entrance to an amusement park, etc).
If you install this extension, you might actually be making yourself MORE bound to crappy terms of service, since you will not be able to make the case that obviously you didn't read them terms and therefore should not be held to some non-standard provision.
The reviews/ratings provided by tosdr.org are awesome, and I hope you guys continue this project, but I, for one, will be covering my ass and not installing this extension.
This is not the first, second, or third time such allegations have been raised, but they always devolve into he-said/she-said.
Restauranteurs, when you're calling Yelp to ask about missing reviews, RECORD THE CONVERSATION! One recording of a Yelp rep saying something like that is game over.
I think he is referring to the company letting him purchase his options as they vest, so that the eventual sale of the stock will be of a long-term capital asset, rather than short term and subject to his marginal tax rate.
Badly. I've never seen a company ship so many bugs so consistantly.
You can catch the video manifesto here. Admire the chutzpah, too bad about the cause: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y...
Complete agree. I worked remotely (as dev, dev manager, and head of pm) for about 5 years for 2 different organizations.
The biggest problem was always when there were some people local to one another who would get together physically to tackle a problem. Either they wouldn't think to dial-in the remote team members at all, or they would but the discussion would be conducted in such a manner that it was impossible to fully participate (i.e., poor speaker phone, whiteboard drawings, projector w/o webex).
I think remote teams can be very effective, but it is crucial that the entire org be oriented around communication channels that give the remote team members equal footing. I almost think the ideal is all or nothing -- everyone is remote or no one is.
PayPal has survived by having an early lead in a business with high barriers to entry, despite having abused their users and customers at every turn. The guy who oversaw that would not be my #1 pick to lead a flagging consumer internet company.
Had a similar experience with Dreamhost about 2 years ago. I sent them an email pointing out the insecurity of sending passwords in an unencrypted email, but they seemed to feel that their customers "appreciated" the ease of password recovery over security.
