I feel like I've seen similar things, but I would phrase it differently.

It seems like--on average, not as a a rule--women find men who are more socially adept to be more attractive. This is measured partly in how a man hits on a woman.

If a man doesn't quite meet the bar of "socially adept" or "smooth", he can be creepy. This is one type of not-smooth, with other types including awkward and clumsy. These are not mutually exclusive, nor are they the same.

The tragedy to me is that the awkward and clumsy guys are pitied--they don't know any better. The creepy guy tends to be looked upon with disdain, as if he should know better.
There are. And there is news about them and people talk about.

The places I am talking about it would be national news if there was a judge who doesn't take bribes. So no, it is not even a close comparison.
Since you are nitpicking my meaning of "impossible," let me rephrase. It is generally far more difficult, for most people, to get a middle-class job without a college degree than with one, and it generally does not matter if they learned job-relevant subject matter in that degree.

The fact that you, personally, did so is simply an anecdote.
I don't think you can go into a company as large as Google and expect your salary to double in five years. HR will have set limits to how much of a raise you can get in any given year and even with promotions you would be very unlikely to see that kind of bump. I also don't think the middling programmers he mentions would hit the 250k year mark.

Orthogonal to the point of the article, but the only time you can really get a salary bump is before you start, so make sure to negotiate like hell before you get in. Once you're in, you're going to be grinding to get a 3% raise (contrary to what the OP states).
Combine this with https://github.com/jollyjinx/ZFS-TimeMachine and you are in a much better place than Apple's terrible network Time Machine. It's cross-platform (except Windows) and it's much more reliable than SMB or AppleTalk.
GTK applications have never fitted in on OSX or Windows for me. They look like bad Java applications, and some ignore the system menu bar etc. on OSX.

No great loss.

Many of the elite powerlifters of today squat, deadlift and bench multiple times a week, so we know that doing all multiple times in a week can be great training. But I think your conclusion is not warranted. A few decades ago, the elite powerlifters were squatting and deadlifting once a week. And they were also crazy strong.
In a corrupt system, being independently wealthy just means you require larger bribes. Corrupt officials dont demand bribes corrupt because they absolutely need the money, but because they want it and can get away with it.
Thanks for the information about the feedback button. I had never noticed it at all!

When people search, they look at the search box and then at what's below it, which tends to be always on the top and towards the left of the screen. Whatever's in the middle or bottom as well as on the right tends to get ignored.

I'd suggest putting the Send Feedback button right below the search box when you display the results so that more people notice it. I've just sent a feedback about this through the Send Feedback button.
There's no agility here. There is lack of communication and no specifications, however.

No agile development, just a horrible, horrible mess.
Sounds like the problems will resolve on their own over time. As long as human drivers are at fault, they'll get more tickets, increased insurance rates, required defensive driving classes, etc.

I'm always pleased to see a vehicle other than mine that doesn't speed. I welcome the day one of them is driverless.
Use !mdn or !devdocs. Both are awsome sites.
I know what you mean about man pages, but I think it's a little subtler than that. The man pages are generally useful if you already know roughly what you're looking for (i.e. you know that some utility provides the functionality you need) but can be a little troubling if you haven't a clue which combination of program, config file etc to use.

> 1) It fails safe. Virtually all device misconfigurations result in failure to pass traffic, rather than being passed accidentally.

I don't see that, nor that it would even be an advantage.

> 2) You get full control of your external signature (at that protocol level). When Comcast and AT&T realize that they can charge for more than a single /128 on their consumer networks we'll see a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth on /r/technology, and it will be completely inane to those of us that saw the same companies attempt the same BS with NAT detection in the late 90s.

How do you prevent people from coming up with stupid ideas by implementing some stupid ideas yourself? Is that a general rule you follow? Wherever companies could conceivably some day screw up some product, you do it for them now?

> 3) I would like to be able to implement dual stack in networks that I'm responsible for with as much similarity as possible. Having to reason independently more than needed about how IPv4 and IPv6 behave is needless difficulty.

So, you prefer to keep things broken forever if that means that things don't change?

> 4) IPv6 allocations today are asininely large. We're going to have 30-45 years of overallocation and then be out again,

What's your evidence for that? Seems like a completely baseless claim to me.

> and in the interim we'll have a whole host of new braindead protocols in the manner of FTP and VOIP.

So, NAT is good because protocols that don't work well with NAT are braindead because they don't work well with NAT?

I mean, I see your point if there is any risk that we might run out of addresses, but if we don't, what exactly is braindead about those protocols?

> 5) If it's a useful tool, by the user's estimation, why can't I have it?

You obviously _can_ have it. Just as you _can_ cut your head off if you think that's useful to you.

But all things considered, do the advantages actually outweigh the disadvantages.
Regarding client side decorations: Lots of Windows applications draw on it.

I now the technical separation of window manager vs toolkit. It's nice that you can always close the window. But practically speaking, CSD gives me way more space vs some theoretical idea that "it should not be done".

The consistency argument I don't see. GTK+3.x apps can disable their CSD when running on other desktops. Within GNOME 3 though, it is consistent. Initially the apps would default to showing CSD but AFAIK latest GTK+3.x ensure they don't.

Anyway regarding consistency: It is way nicer! If it is way nicer, then why hold back for consistency? You'd never be able to make a change. And basically there are two toolkits anyway, Qt and GTK+. I've been around for ages, but FLTK/Java stuff, etc... eventually you'll go down to a: no change ever.

You said it is a compile time option. AFAIK it is not at all. Though with Wayland the use of xsettings is more difficult. They are specific to X after all.

Regarding mouse wheel support you didn't give an example?

In case of anything else you disagree with, please speak up as changes happen (d-d-l). It is pretty difficult to go against a decision that happened a long time ago. E.g. I could give a "this is bad / better revert" but unless people complain when things happen it is pretty hard/difficult. Notebook I didn't notice nor knew for instance.

I do see other changes that are made, but usually when that is done they seem to have investigated how often it is used (not just git.gnome.org). Usually they find 0 or 1 app and that app is on git.gnome.org.

> A new grad at Google/FB/Amazon with a lowball offer will have a total comp (salary + bonus + equity) of $130k/yr.

I think these companies are actually too ideal to draw this conclusion from. For everyone Google/Amazon/FB, you also have a Comcast, an Oracle, an HP or Cisco.

You frequently hear about companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, etc trading employees. You don't hear about the typical big company poaching anyone besides executives.

Edit: The above doesn't seem to represent a clear thought. I'm trying to argue that the average big company doesn't pay as well as those three. Similarly, the average startup isn't going to be able to pay massive dividends in four years.

How long did the recovery take? PWC recovered those assets now, rather than then. In the mean time there was a huge reflation of the stock and housing markets, powered by the Federal Reserve in the short term and a return of confidence in the medium term.

You can't treat mass psychology as an externality. Austerian policies rely in part on disciplining debtors to restore confidence in market transparency and the rule of law. If thousands of households lost their homes when their cash flow could not meet their debt payments, why shouldn't a bank go bankrupt when its cash flow cannot meet its debt payments? Lehman was just the bank that couldn't find a seat when the music stopped, and that's fair.

Awesome article, thanks for sharing.
I didn't do more than browse the article because I didn't need to hear the arguments to accept the conclusion. I think the only place perhaps in the world where working in a startup could be seen as any way superior to working at an established business is in Silicon Valley, where enormous amounts of VC money come together to create a modern Rome.

Certainly we need Rome, the modern world wouldn't have existed without it, but Romans themselves are myopic and self-obsessed. They need to be, otherwise it wouldn't be Rome.

I love that Silicon Valley exists, but I wouldn't want to live there. I love the people that go there and exist on the bleeding edge of innovation. I'll happily sit here behind the curve and have a normal life with a house and car and kids. I'll root for the dreamers that go there and hope that they too can one day achieve their dream life. I don't need that glory.

> (2) assume something _disparaging_ about the individual.

The problem is that "disparaging" is in the eye of the beholder. What you think of as silly might be really offensive to another person. What was harmless 30 years ago - say, pinching a female colleague's bum - could today be considered beyond the pale.

It's better not to assume anything about anybody unless necessary. I'm sure you've been in a situation where somebody has assumed something about you, and it can be really annoying.

I'd recommend anyone looking for their first job out of university to consider strongly a job at a startup. Consider it a 'finishing school', where you'll have the highest chance to touch as many different technologies and tasks as possible (from system administration, to backend to frontend work), as opposed to the 'Big Company' where (especially for a first job) you'll be focused on one task.

The important thing is to leave after one year, no matter the compensation you are getting. Teams have a tendency to give the shittiest work to the most junior member, and there's very little inertia to replace that person if they are doing a stellar job at that shit work, but once you leave that startup with bankable experience under your belt, you'll have a much easier time interviewing and negotiating yourself a cushier position at either another startup or a big company.

Most big companies have a much better career 'ladder', where you'll be on a path to more interesting work once you've proven your worth, but I suspect you'd still be in a better position coming into the company one or two years in, rather than starting the treadmill at a lower salary/title.
It feels to me like you're confusing sympathy and empathy.

I would suggest that gaining true empathy - developing relationships and building friendships with co-workers - that can't happen in just a week. It's not about understanding how to carry french fries to the window - it's about understanding how a gigantic portion of the country experiences day-to-day life.

I think point of the example was not to say that you could use leverage. You're borrowing the same amount that you're lending.

The idea of the interest rate swap is simply that some entities prefer to lock in a rate, others prefer to have it float. So they swap those risks.
A lot of men really really don't want to be treated like that either.
What would be the difference between writing to shared hardware pixels over a shared memory performance wise?

I mean, pixels are just like a memory except that they glow. They hold their value and can be writen a new value in sync with a clock (which is normally 60 Hz for most monitors which is MUCH slower then on chip memory). There could be no performance benefit.
> And yet is a requirement for many compliance policies.

I didn't claim there aren't any incompetent people out there.

> For PCI Compliance (ie to store and transmit credit cards), any machines storing consumer info (ex the database) need to be in a private subnet that does not have direct access to or from the internet.

"Not having access to the internet" != "private address range". A private address range does not prevent someone external from accessing your machine. That people think that is a dangerous misconception.

Also, private address ranges make it much, much harder to reason about your firewall's correctness.
>space-wasting default theme

GNOME 3's default theme has the slimmest window chrome any GNOME has ever had. People think it's space-wasting because the fonts are larger, but they got larger-looking buttons in fewer pixels by compressing everything into one place. It's only space-wasting if you're using applications that don't support menus in the title bars, and even then it's about the same as GNOME 2. You can check it by running GNOME 2 and 3 side-by-side.
Texas Sheriff statement on operation of ride sharing companies in Austin, TX
I'm an rsync.net customer, and I use ZFS locally, but I'm not using ZFS replication because I can't control in what order the files in the filesystem get backed up. (And I'm also unsure whether it's even possible interrupt a transfer and resume it later, if the underlying data has changed. rsync does this no problem.)

My filesystems are pretty massive, but my internet connection is pretty crappy. I currently am running a script I hacked together which rsyncs my files up to rsync.net in (roughly) file size order - smallest first, largest last. This way, changes to huge files don't spend hours/days backing up, and preventing the backup of smaller files.

I haven't yet found a better way to do this.

Who said anything about stronger driving laws or taking away the right to drive? Whether or not you have the right to drive, you don't have the right to drive illegally - with today's laws.

These cars are, no doubt, going to have cameras and sensors everywhere, so I'd say forget about putting cameras everywhere, just use the on-board cameras/sensors on the driverless cars themselves to catch people breaking driving laws.
That's why it's important to be exposed to different colors and sexes, or just people different from yourself. I have personally find myself to be much better as introspection and sympathize better with minorities once I moved to a country where I'm the minority.
Anyone who reads any kind of "personal experience article" and takes it as anything but anecdotal is fooling themselves.

It doesn't matter if the article is for or against a particular opinion, or if it takes a measured tone down some middle road. A single experience does the opposite of expose institutional problems: it makes it appear like there may or may not be one, while providing no scientific basis from which to draw a broader conclusion.
Being transgender gives you an interesting view on tech things. It feels like deadlines and other things are less hardly enforced for me and there is an overall greater sense of leeway than I feel like I would have otherwise had if I was still "in the closet". It feels like it is subconscious on their part, but it is at least convenient.

It also shows up in interviews surprisingly.

I'm glad your have been able to live a life free from problems such as stalkers, domestic abuse, or gender or sexuality issues. Other people are not as privileged.

It would be nice if we could live in an open society, but the reality is that discrimination and abuse still exist. Insisting that everybody forget about privacy is not only going to get some people killed and many others fired. Insisting that privacy is bad is effectively telling any minority that they have to stay "in the closet" if they want to keep their job and not be harassed by the bigots in society.

That's just the practical issues. A stronger argument for privacy is best summed up by Jacob Appelbaum's observation in Citizenfour:

What people used to call liberty and freedom we now call privacy.
And we say, in the same breath, that privacy is dead.

We have the freedom to decide what we want to disclose publicly.

Of course, you still believe in privacy. If you really think privacy doesn't make any sense, post your name, address, bank account numbers, social security number, and any email addresses you've used. None of those items are "secret" information (like a password). I could list a lot more things, but you should get the idea.
> Yes, it's supposed to be a hash of the user's identifier.

Which is why it's a privacy issue: given someone's public identifier, I can see what his key is and how it changes over time. I can see if he has a key, which is interesting information. As I noted, I can probably monitor traffic to find messages encrypted by or to his key.

Heck, I can pregenerate many potentially-valid identifiers (e.g. [0-9az]+@[a-z][0-9az]+\.(com|net|org|edu) and look for them in the public blockchain, and use that to confirm whether the accounts are valid or not (this could be used to see if an email address is valid without ever sending email to it). I could use this to verify addresses before sending out spam or malware.

If I can see two identifiers who communicate with one another, I could use this to, say, malware purportedly from one to the other via unsigned email, who is likely to trust it because it appears to be from someone he knows.

You see the issues, I hope. This kind of thing really is tough.

What does "tone deaf" mean in this context? And what's wrong with dick-jokes?

I still would like to know what "tone deaf" means as I'm not understanding that term

Fun addendum to this cultural note: the fact that things are based in hundred thousands leads to weird comma structural in written numerals. http://www.fullstopindia.com/indian-number-system-made-easy/

1,05,000 = 1 lakh + 5,000 rupees = 105,000 rupees
> Speeding is endemic in the US as well, and the penalties are onerous for pretty much everyone but the well-off.

No, they're not. Perhaps in some states but not on average. I'm in Pennsylvania so can only use those numbers.[0] There is the base fine (which can be doubled if you're in a work zone or an area with posted signs to that effect) and surcharges.

Fine (25-55mph/40-90km/hr zone): $45-95
Fine (65 mph/105km/hr zone): $44.50-102.50

EMS Surcharge: $10
JCP Surcharge: $10
Court costs: Varies, last ticket I got was in 2010 and I think it was $7.50
MCARE: $50 for speeding, additional surcharges for additional offenses (e.g. passing a stopped school bus)

So let's say you're going 100 mph (161 km/hr) through a construction zone. Personally I'd like to see your car impounded if you do this, but you're looking at a $275 ticket plus minimal court costs. Certainly under $300. Every ticket I've ever gotten has given me the option of paying over 12 months with no interest.

I don't mean any of this to minimize your comment regarding selective enforcement. I've passed police who were doing speed enforcement at 15+ over the limit and seen others pulled over; I've been pulled over when there were others readily available going faster than me.
