Yeah... the number of those deaths is estimated at somewhere between 0 and 100. Which is to say such a tiny number that it won't be empirically distinguishable from normal fluctuations.
I'm literally going off of the facts she states in her post. The guy said he's uncomfortable around her. This is not a gendered issue, this is an interpersonal issue and not even a bad one. This co-worker told the manager about an issue he perceived but he in no way treated the author of this piece maliciously.
Java, the language used to build Android apps, commanded the lowest compensation, at an average of $37,500.

Is this typical for Android development? I'm surprised there are very many software jobs out there with such low pay.

>You don't want to flip the trolley switch in part because you feel more likely to be blamed for the outcome, or to be held accountable for making the wrong decision. After drinking a bit of alcohol, it is easier to forget about how others will perceive your actions and instead think about the physical consequences of the actions themselves.

That is exactly consequentialist thinking, though. Choosing your actions based on social signalling in life-or-death situations is a really bad idea.

Minimum wage W2 employees almost never get any sort of transit costs covered. If they have to live 2 hours away because that's the only place they can afford housing, then it's on them to pay for transportation there and back. They also get bottom of the barrel benefits.

Minimum wage can be as low as $7.25 for W2 employees. This calculator suggests that corresponds to only $10/hour for a contractor: http://www.rate-calculators.com/

I find ghaff's argument more compelling: people will pay more simply because they want someone they can trust in their home.
Without Microsoft adopting this too it remains in a "sort of kind of useful but not really" status.

"we found that if everyone in California got rid of their lawn, it would save 5-7% of total water usage in the state."

But what part could be saved if agricultural water subsidies were removed? And unlike washing cars, I'm not saying making it illegal - just not encouraging the waste with artificially low prices, below the market prices.

We will never know for sure, as all we can have is studies, and estimations. And it would be deemed unfair for those who have invested in agriculture.

Who could have known irrigating the desert would be a wasteful endeavor and likely to cause water shortages in the future?

EDIT: my main idea was to not make anything illegal, or taking any rights, but let whoever bear the full true costs and let the market sort it out. Industrial and agricultural uses of water are fine in my book - if you pay the price.
If kids are already eating lots of nuts it's likely they're not going to be allergic to that type of nut/legume (however they can be allergic to other nuts in the same tree nut family).

You're right, I read closure but for some reasons I typed clojure, my mistake.
It's really hard to argue with the track-record of those politicians, pharma companies, and bought scientists. Infant mortality rate is one-third of what it was even in 1970. And that didn't happen from "empowered parents" making decisions based on advice they read on the internet. It was the medical industrial complex--including those companies selling NICU equipment for a few hundred grand per bed--saved all those lives.
What was there before? Sovereign countries composed of people sharing the same history, culture, values and lifestyle. Just because all these countries are geographically close doesn't mean that they should merge into one single entity.

"sat on their hands, done nothing"

That's how it should be, but in this case not doing anything was not an option. The passive (gravity fed) cooling system on the first reactor to melt had it's valve's almost closed when they lost power. Seems like a bad design to even have valves on it but I'm not a Nuclear Engineer.

Interesting. I'm a big proponent of Xeriscaping instead of lawns, but Xeriscape can look great, or absolutely awful, depending on how well it's done, and I think that's part of the reluctance.

The problem is that lawns are easy to do: put down sod, water, mow, fertilize, and it'll look fine. Any idiot can make a surface look OK with grass.

Xeriscape doesn't need mowing nor water, but it needs to be designed by a competent landscape architect to look good, and needs decent layout and rocks and whatnot. If you just tear up your lawn and mulch the remainder, throwing in the odd plant, it's going to look like hell.

I think part of this battle, then, is showing people that xeriscape can look really good, and although it's a different kind of pretty than a lawn, it's still pretty. HOAs will take a while to come around to it, still, but it's nice to see the conversation starting.

This is a dramatic overreaction. `unwrap` is a convenience method whose trivially-obvious implementation is four lines long. Were it not provided by the stdlib then we'd have a preponderance of bespoke implementations in the ecosystem all with different names, which would make this pattern much harder to distinguish and discourage.

(Not to mention that `unwrap` in no way subverts memory safety, which makes mentioning it in the same breath as the borrow checker puzzling.)

As an Android developer I'd say this is far from typical.

However the statement actually isn't saying anything about Android development salaries, just that the language is Java.

There are a lot of low paying Java jobs but Android is not one of them.
Thanks for the positive words about my comment.

I have a lot of respect for economists who are deeply engaged with empirical research.

My own problem is primarily with hard core "free market" theorists who lack humility and have an outsized role in promoting economic mythology. Keen paints with too broad a brush, but the people he describes do exist and do have way too much influence.

Realistic ways of addressing most of the items on your list (infrastructure, education, healthcare, quality of life) are quite explicitly condemned by these theorists.

This economic mythology depends heavily on ideas about optimality that don't survive the problems with Arrow Debreu, the limitations of representative agents, etc.

The economic profession should be explicit about this. Every respectable economist should agree that (say) "We know free markets can't be generally relied on to produce good results. Government intervention is often required to avoid serious problems." That would help undermine the mythology.

The American Economic Association (and others) should make some kind of official statement along these lines, and should reiterate it whenever the assumption that "the market is better" comes up in policy discussions.

But for whatever reason mainstream economists typically want to avoid making explicit comments about the problems of "free markets".
That's total water in a state with an enormous population and also happens to be one of the world's biggest breadbaskets. 5-7% sounds amazing to me.
PC doesn't need saving. ESports has the penetration it does because of a saturation of hardware in the market and slower upgrade cycles. ESports is benefiting more from the PC market than vice versa.
Note that anytime you see a closure in any language that just takes a single argument, calls a single function with that argument, and returns the value of that function, then you can eliminate the closure entirely by just passing the function instead.

So `filter_map(|x| foo(x))` can be written more simply as just `filter_map(foo)`.

Being considerate of others is important, but that shouldn't come at the cost of being afraid to speak up one's well-reasoned viewpoints. I already sense members of Hacker News beginning to speak up frankly; now we just need to take the same attitude out to the real world (outside of the internet) such that incidents like Donglegate or Github-Horvath do not repeat themselves.
Write amplification is not the only thing that matters. For small keys, higher write amplification is a good tradeoff for doing less seeks (which yes, are still a performance problem on SSDs, probably because of the block size).

For large keys, I agree with you, you shouldn't use an LSM-tree. There is a threshold between seek time and compaction.
I'm guessing they had a really low sample size, especially for some of the lower languages (objc/java). Most of the salary per langauge breakdowns i've seen rank mobile skills (android/iOS) nearly highest.
It wouldn't surprise me. Android apps sell less, are pirated more, and attract more 'free' users. Piracy is a problem with iOS apps as well, but there's far less money coming in overall for Android developers.

It also doesn't help that Java is one of the most widely 'known' languages since pretty much every CS major has been exposed to it for the last 15 years.
A solid platform gets better gradually, it may not excite you but it's an important step in the right direction.

Indirectly it does impact the users, because polyfills for browsers that do not support shadow dom have performance issues, not counting the time developers spend maintaining them.
Her full quote makes it clear that she has no love for the players. I would consider them part of the "organization" but at this point it's nit picking semantics.

"Tangentially, I think the entire college sports organization is embarrassing, antiquated and Rapey with a capital “R.” It drives tuitions up and gives a small niche of bumbling bro-bots the lifelong expectation that they will be able to skirt through life without brains, manners, or ever learning the idea of earned respect. “I can twirl a basketball on my finger, how dare you not want to fuck me.” And so on."

Based on this quote (and the rest of her essay), it does not surprise me at all that someone would feel uncomfortable around her. That person handled it maturely by going to management to mention it instead of trying to deal with it themselves.
DOM is such a crufty old API/data structure to work with and with CSS, computationally it's a pig. Anything we can do to isolate bits and bobs on the page from one another and make DOM easier for the browser to render and emit events for, the better.

I just think the Shadow DOM and Web Components are too complex to work with as designed. The componenty composability of React definitely seems real to me, whereas I don't have such optimism about Web Components.

All I would want/need is a lightweight version of iframe whereby it functions like a javascript security and css styles sandbox, call it a subwindow. A subwindow could load html/css/js independently from the parent page like a Web Worker does, or it could borrow from assets the parent page has loaded and its HTML could be inlined as innerHTML statically/dynamically from the parent page (at creation time.)

A subwindow would have an independent global/window object from the parent window. And, you could postMessage/onMessage communicate with the parent window if you needed. It could be constructed with its own dedicated DOM thread, or it could schedule on the parent's thread if you didn't want another thread spawned. Paints would have to be synchronized between the DOM threads, which could be a bummer.

I just want an inline iframe, which I know is like saying I want an "inline inline frame". ;)

This is what happened last time refugees were turned away en masse with no option but to return to their home country: they were exterminated. The EU was formed with a "never again" attitude to this kind of catastrophe. There are already over 4 million refugees plus an estimated 6 million displaced within Syria. People have finally noticed that they're already dying trying to escape, often in the Mediterranean. The options are to take them in or send them to their deaths.

This is probably going to happen again when Yemen goes up; it doesn't help that the country is running out of groundwater while a Saudi/Iranian proxy war is being fought in it.

On a side note, I wonder why the reporter bothered changing the name of the co-founder of Handybook in that piece. From the remainder of her description (e.g. the mention of a Harvard MBA and the experience at McKinsey) I was able to determine that "Ajay" was actually Umang Dua, after about two minutes on CrunchBase and LinkedIn.
And so web developers have to write basic UI widgets just to get basic UI elements. Or, to use a heavyweight component library that needs needs to be downloaded.

HTML should provide a rich, declarative UI API by default. We shouldn't have to hunt down separate components to get that.

Once again we can thank Dianne Feinstein for this. How did she get re-elected again? Was it gerrymandering or did her NSA buddies, which she keeps propping up, hack the poorly secured voting machines?
I believe the thinking among many at the time was that war with the Soviets would result in "acceptable" losses to the US i.e. 20 million Americans dead, give or take. This was probably not too far off given extremely limited Soviet capabilities at the time. (Europe would have fared far worse, but I don't know that they cared too much.) There's a scene in Dr. Strangelove where this is advocated, and I think it's reasonably true-to-life.

My point is, you have to make that distinction more rigorous than "they make less money"; your original points applied just the same to consultants (and legit "independent contractors") as it did to Uber drivers. It seems your real objection and distinction is "but they make less money than my ideal model of an independent contractor". (I don't know what "knowledge" or "lawyer" or "difference of liabilities" means in terms of an articulable, rigorous distinction.)

>This is an intentional misclassification to skirt employment law.

Exactly. There are lots of situations where it's worth trading up some polish for simpler tools and formats. Especially simpler formats.

There is lots of prior art extracting diagrams from textual drawing but AFAIK all required global conformance to some accepted "syntax". Markdeep's(?) idea of local beautification while maintaining the global fixed-width layout is brilliant as you're not limited to particular structures and anything unsupported degrades gracefully!
(If this idea has no name, let's call it "2D ligatures"?)

We could have a dozen different tools based on this idea, each supporting a somewhat different dialect, yet any diagram will be reasonably readable under any of them — which is exactly the quality you want when excavating a 40-year-old README of unknown origin.

It's the simplest thing that could possibly work. Except one: using line drawing characters directly in the source (and requiring no tool at all, just view in fixed-width font). Let's try:

* . *
* 0 3 P ● Eye ╱ ▶ ╱ *
* ●───────● +y ╲ 〈) ╲ ╱ Reflection *
* 1 ╱│ 2 ╱│ ▲ ╲ ╲ ╲ ▶ *
* ●───────● │ │ v0 ╲ v3 ────────●──────── *
* │ │4 │ │7 │ ●────╲─────● *
* │ ●─────│─● +─────▶ +x ╱ ◀ X ╲ ◜⎺◝◀──────── ○ *

* ●───────● ▶ ╱ ╲ ◟⎽◞ ╱ ╲ *
* 5 6 +z v1 ●──────────────────● v2 │ ○─────○ *
* ▼ *

Hmm, not as good but mostly OK (though font dependent), except for circles. Disappointingly I found no matching parts for bigger than 2x2 circle. It's easy (technically, not sure about politically) to add a few more but it's impossible to support smooth circles of arbitrary radiuses. (OTOH, neither does Markdeep.)
Perhaps the best of both worlds would be writing unicode (perhaps using some ascii->unicode helper at typing time) and further enhancing it with this kind of tool...
For that, look at the WWE Network.

They maintain production and distribution rights on their most valuable content, pay-per-view events that go for something like $60-80USD on cable. They compete with themselves by offering a yearly lock-in for what's basically the price of one of these events. It's not complete, since they don't have full distribution rights on their weekly show, which appears on their streaming service after a one-to-two week delay.

If the service takes off, that'll be a big nail in the coffin of TV sports. That said, it's had middling success to date (I haven't paid close attention, as I'm not a wrestling fan in the least).

Other sports contract out their production and distribution rights to TV networks, so trying to go to a streaming model will be very difficult by comparison. They'll be building out what is basically a full on-air platform at the same time they're building out a streaming service that can support the added demand of local viewers while simultaneously breaking off relations with their current broadcasters. And to make things even more complicated, some of those broadcasters own the teams they carry (in hockey alone, the NY Rangers and Cablevision TV are both owned by Jim Dolan, while the Toronto Maple Leafs are owned by a conglomeration of Bell and Rogers telecoms). With these complications, the rights may be the bigger block than the technology.
The intent has always been that the most frequently used webcomponents will end up getting baked into the browser, and then into the HTML spec.

That's nice in theory, but what's happening in reality is that no component is going to be standardized, and HTML remains stagnant for another 15 years.
But there's no real value in adding someone who plays this game to a watchlist.

If analysts are discounting the value of membership to a watchlist because of the amount of noise such as what you're suggesting, then the watchlist isn't going to help the organization that's keeping it.

From a strictly practical standpoint, there is an incentive to keep watchlists small, focused, and accurate, otherwise they lose meaning.
