Then its not really end-to-end encryption as claimed. Its just another service encrypting its traffic so middlemen, other than itself and its masters, can't read it. In true end-to-end the service provider can't read the content even if they want to.
If openness were to make favoritism less likely we still have have the fear of favoritism and all the negatives it brings and hence the "hostile workplace". Regarding other sources of favoritism, those may be prohibited as well and then there is the problem of one wrong not excusing a different wrong.
Even then -- what one does on a break, is just that...
Perhaps if your break is off campus but while employed and on company property you may still be fired for organizing a political protest if the company cares to do so. Again, in theory, political correctness aside and unless your employment agreement or company handbooks says organizing political protests on company property is OK..
Comrade, where is your sash? Directive 572.34b requires that members of the Junior Anti-Sex League wear their sash at all times when in public.
Oh silly little boy, there is no prohibition on sex among coworkers. There is merely a prohibition between a superior and a subordinate. Fear not, when you get older and join the workforce you may still have a chance to get laid.
Internship as part of a high school or tech school degree is a form of slavey. Assembling an apple watch has zero educational value.
Actually the communist party leaders says it is educational, educational to the degree that it is a required component of education for some. In particular for college students who are on a track to be managers or leaders or some sort. These communist party leaders argue that these future managers and leaders must understand the worker's perspective from their own first hand experience. A requirement of spending time on a farm or in a factory is not unheard of in communist china.
It helps with debugging too. Build with two unrelated compiler systems and bugs that don't stand out in one may stand out in the other. And I am talking run-time errors not compiler warnings.
even back then it was understood to create a hostile workplace
My memory is different: "hostile work environment" that didn't involve favoritism or threats didn't become commonplace until a bit after.
Either way, I would agree to some degree of punishment for such as long as it's enforced consistently between parties so that it's not used as a political weapon.
I recall the corporation I worked for when I learned that a consensual affair creates a hostile workplace, it was an unintuitive concept to me at the time. I left that company in the early 90s. Perhaps our HR department was cutting edge.
They don't hire your kind. SJW virtue signalling and advertising are their priorities. Search hasn't improved in over 10 years - they're done with building software.
Google (and Facebook) wants to encourage virtue signaling and advertising, it lets them create a better profile on you, so that they can sell more targeted advertising tailored to your preferences.
I'd be happy to take a position at Google. And I won't spend more time on SJW virtue signaling than I do on my job.
Same here. Pity California is not a 'right to work' state. They would be canned as soon as they walked out the door....
CA is an "at will employment" state. An employer "may terminate an employee for any reason at any time" unless there is a law or contract preventing the "reason" from being used. So unless their employment contracts allows them to abandon their work duties during assigned work hours Google should have no problem firing them, in theory, political correctness aside.
There was no evidence of job favoritism or threats; merely two adults mutually playing around.
That is not how sexual harassment works, even back then it was understood to create a hostile workplace. When a boss and a subordinate have a consensual affair the other subordinates fear there will be favoritism. This fear is real. It negatively effects retention, productivity, etc; it makes employees hate the workplace, their boss, their fellow employees, etc; it creates a risk of lawsuits for the company.
Again, this is not some new radical SJW interpretation. This is what has been taught in sexual harassment training since the 1990s.
I always preferred the Mexican imported Coca Cola in glass bottles. I suspect the taste improvement was not from cane sugar vs fructose syrup but rather due to glass bottle vs plastic. Beer also tastes better in glass bottles, cans often have an inner plastic coating on the metal. I wonder if the some of the plastic particles are coming from such food packaging? The plastic taste I find annoying has to be coming from something.
So you are a denier of reality, politics trumps the truth in your mind. Good to know.
Denier of reality? Quite the opposite. I'm WELL aware that our current president likes to think we all work for him and that he doesn't work for us. How is it that you missed that fact? Once he actually starts working for the American people (ALL of them) then we can have this discussion about my motivations.
Wow, you are doubling down on your idiocy. The work is not for trump, it is for national infrastructure. From the summary: "... hopes tech industry workers will be able to help modernize state and federal agencies and tackle challenges such as upgrading the veterans' health care system...". What the f*ck does fixing the software mess at the VA and other departments have to do with Trump?
Wow, you truly are an idiot. The administration is not asking for free labor. They are asking for employees to be able to take a leave of absence rather than having to quit their jobs and hope to get rehired later.
Yes they are asking for a discount on labor. If they were willing to pay market rates then they wouldn't have to go begging the private sector for talent. Hell they could just hire the company to do the work if they need the person or win the person away from the private sector outright by paying them competitively. There is no point to such a discussion unless they are trying to get labor at a discount.
Your offer a foolish red herring to hide your ignorance. No one is requiring anyone to work for the government. The summary, CNet and TechCrunch citations mention no wage dispute. The summary and cited articles mention two things. (1) Leave of absences. (2) National infrastructure that is beyond politics and is for the common good, things that past wanted fixed and that future administrations will need.
Try to take off your political lens for a moment and at least read the summary: "discuss ways to make it easier for employees to take leaves of absence to help with government projects"
Grow up and learn to read what that really means. Politics is ALWAYS involved and to think otherwise is dangerously naive.
The projects are not political. The request for leaves of absences are not political. What is political are fools like you that would rather throw your childlike tantrum than see national infrastructure fixed.
Idiots. You are working for the Country, the American people, not for Trump.
When Trump accepts that reality then I will too.
So you are a denier of reality, politics trumps the truth in your mind. Good to know.
We are not talking about working on his campaign, we are talking about working on the software infrastructure for the nation.
So what? If it is important to the richest nation on earth then the richest nation on earth can damn well pay market rates for it. Buy fewer bombers if they need to find the money in the budget. The military is ridiculously over funded as it is.

Until the governments enstate and practice policies that ensure they aren't abusing the people, knowingly supporting them in any way is aiding and abetting. If you know that I plan to offend someone with a tool, you are morally obligated to not sell me the tool.
And what if the tool is mostly used appropriately? What if the tool legitimately contributes to public safety? Things are not as simply as you suggest, facial recognition is not solely used for over-surveillance. You ill-informed path has a human cost.

A snap judgment/decision is "a judgment or decision made quickly, without careful thought or discussion."

It helps with debugging too. Build with two unrelated compiler systems and bugs that don't stand out in one may stand out in the other. And I am talking run-time errors not compiler warnings.
Another example, the number of open files. I should not limit it to a small constant
There is no such limitation. You can re-allocate arrays as needed. VLA is just automating that for you.

I'm also now thinking about the taste buds actually coming into contact with the plastic or glass.
Most probably it has to do with the different source of sugar.
I sense a distinct plastic taste. Perhaps it has more to do with taste buds coming in contact with the container when drinking from the bottle itself.
I always preferred the Mexican imported Coca Cola in glass bottles. I suspect the taste improvement was not from cane sugar vs fructose syrup but rather due to glass bottle vs plastic.
