> Steve truly understood the virtue and value of that cultural component to not just attract but _retain_ that kind of world-class talent, and _that's_ what he attributes Pixar's success to.
Both Jobs and Pixar’s Ed Catmull believed this so strongly that they took illegal measures to protect it:
While your concern is certainly very personal, and a deeply rooted preference over which you have little control, I have to point out that body shaming can have disastrous effects on the recipient[1].
You're probably right. From an engineering perspective.
Would you fly in a 737MAX post-fix? We have an engineering mindset here on HN and so I would expect many of us to answer "Yes". But ask this same question to the general public? How is Boeing going to repair the damage to both it's brand and this plane's reputation, and convince the general public to fly on this model?
Come on now. What other plausible reason, besides being someone's daughter, would a girl that young have for being on that island with these old men? It doesn't take an MIT-calibre mind to ask this question.
Why not petition Google to donate the Go project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, since many of the core technologies (including Kubernetes, Prometheus) that make up the cloud native space are written in Go?
How would ownership extend to metadata derived from your profile? For example, one of the claims made during the Cambridge Analytica hearings was that the data that they had in their possession could be used to derive political leanings, sexual orientation, purchasing habits etc.
I'm certain that this is where the value of the data is. No platform genuinely cares about cat pictures and birthday wishes - they care about how likely you are to purchase an advertiser's product. Or, cynically, they care about how many degrees of separation you are from a person under investigation.
This is not data that you've created directly or intentionally.
This happened to me. Several rounds of interviews with a well known colored-hat company, then... nothing. No response to follow-ups either.
What was especially frustrating to me was that up to that point, the tone of both the conversations and email exchanges was very positive and cordial. I would have expected a "Thanks, but no thanks" follow-up at least, especially considering I was an internal referral from a Sr. Mgr. But... nothing. Made my reconsider my view of that particular company.
