I can't say for other nations, but the yearly statistics collected by the Swedish government is showing that the leadership roles in female dominated industries have switched over to be female dominated, where healthcare and education are currently at 80%+ female CEO/president and increasing. About 20% of the industry has a leadership that is female dominated of around 70%, 25% is balanced with 50/50, and the rest 55% is male dominated.

Inequality in gender distribution seems to only get more extreme each year here and female industries tops the lists with several that has a over 90% female to male distrubution. The very top of the list is a profession with 99.94% female to male ratio, and the whole male group of the profession could fit in a single mini-buss. This is in my view the primary reason why no feminist politician in Sweden ever brings up this yearly statistics, as the facts doesn't support the narrative being presented.

The changes as reported last report was minor changes in the top list of male dominated profession with about 2 percent increase in females to males, but in the female dominated professions the change goes the opposite direction with ever higher female to male ratio. Some professions like psychology is reporting that at university level it is about 95% female to male ratio, and if nothing is changed soon there won't be any male therapists once the last 20% that currently work reach the age of 65.

> And all of the poor of the USA is relatively wealthy to the population of the rest of the world too.

Yes, something I like pointing out to my friends who never worked in a factory complaining that there are no more good factory jobs.

Global poverty is declining in part because that work left America.
"Very many little things" is a great way of describing how bad air travel is. None of the issues are all that bad taken individually, but taken together, the experience is worse than the difference of its parts.

* Security (a stressful PITA)

* Boarding (never goes smoothly)

* Environment (tiny seats, loud, sick passengers, babies, etc)

* Service (rude/inattentive FA's, overpriced small extras that feel insulting)

* Delays (taking off, getting there, getting your bags)

And then then there's the one-offs. A bag gets lost, a connection gets missed, mechanical problems..

Most of this stuff can be addressed directly.

I think 4chan and Silicon Valley mercantilism are themselves a symptom of public education's failure in general and towards boys in particular.

Boys are struggling in many areas in western society. They happen to be succeeding in tech. It's no wonder they're edgy about letting outsiders manipulate the field.

Silicon Valley preaches individual achievement and personal responsibility. No doubt boys often needed those skills to survive an education system designed around them. Feminism often pushes for change at the institutional level, not for individual accountability thus the tension IMO.
I downloaded the beta and tried it out. The concept is interesting, but the execution is still uneven (understandably so, considering that this is a beta). The way that the mobile app UI is rendered on the desktop is pretty bad, especially the lack of antialiasing on the fonts.

It has that uncanny valley feel that you'd expect when somebody reimplements a UI toolkit and tries to mimic the look and feel. I'd really like to know if it looks better and more native on a device.

There are also bits and pieces that don't seem to work as expected. Like, I'm having trouble getting the built in HTTP client to actually successfully complete a request.

The design tool is slick though, so I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it. It could be pretty compelling for rapid prototyping.
I was thinking that same thing. Maybe not water but some kind of non-conductive gel?
However, that is not what the author means in the context of the article. It seems to me that she is using it to refer to experienced developers who are fed up with the change in software toward the "brogramming" culture (though god I hate that word), and are at the stage where they'd rather get out of software then try to change things.

That said, the way she uses the phrase seems particularly odd to me, and it took me a while to try to understand what she meant.
Sorry about this, it should now be fixed, and I submitted it upstream: https://github.com/mitya57/python-markdown-math/pull/10

Thanks for reporting!
I'll just add my two cents here. My parents are Baby Boomers and neither kept up on technology (they're both finally comfortable using cell phones and texting, not quite to apps yet however). I loved playing video games growing up and my father is an avid outdoor type (loves plants, gardening, etc) was always harping on me to go outside and do stuff, rather than sitting gaming (and I did go outside and ride bikes, play basketball, or sorts of stuff. I think he just always managed to catch me when I was gaming haha). But all that gaming led to my interest in computers, and building/upgrading my PC because it was slow and I lagged like mad in MMORPGs, which eventually led to my choosing to study Computer Science in college. I'm sure there are actually a lot more people like me who picked up programming later in life (I didn't write my first line of code until I was 19!) than those whose parents got them started young.
I imagine I'm the minority opinion--and Asian airline meals are generally better than US ones but that probably just reflects my preferences--but I actually don't especially regret the general demise of hot meals on most flights. They were always horrible in coach to the degree that I can recall joking cartoons about them. Serving the meals was disruptive and often stunk up the cabin.

Now, when it comes to passing out cold snacks, by all means.
To be clear, I'm talking about how people talk about how they choose their food.

There's plenty of verifiable facts to consider, but those that trumpet those facts and make wide suggestions ignore the local circumstances. Someone with a $20 weekly grocery bucket isn't going to spend twice as much on organic vegetables regardless of if its better for the planet or even for themselves. Everyone has to eat, and everyone has to balance how much time, effort, and energy they spend on gathering, cooking, making food, and also balance that against everything else they are attempting to do.
I don't want to be evil, just mischievous. Can I just make everyone's phones ring?
For years, I felt Lufthansa was better than United for SF -> Germany flights. Especially after the merger with Continental. Lately though, LH has been in decline.

In general, I find United to be ok for the travel I have done. But they aren't what they used to be. Also, my options are limited if I want to do SF -> Europe direct and not go to CDG, Heathrow, etc. KLM wasn't bad, but it's also One World and I don't fly American or Delta domestically.

Definitely an explosion.
Most probably your child's elementary school teachers had a much bigger influence than you. They have the most time with your child and the stats for STEM are pretty bad in their ranks. If we spent as much time worrying about the gender / STEM imbalance in elementary and pre-school as we do in technology, we would fix the imbalance in technology within a generation.

If a thing is not the person whom your child looks up to's thing, then it will not be your child's thing.
It does, but only for users technical enough to do so. And most users who are, probably buy newer phones anyways.

Also, here in the US, our largest carrier (Verizon), requires phones to have encrypted bootloaders. So my phone, for instance, cannot be flashed with a third party build.
So, define 'farmer' any way you like. I define it as, someone who knows how to farm. These people have power. They can refuse to perform their skill. Somebody else will have a terrible time coming up to speed in time to save civilization.

Folks who live in the country can garden. A garden can feed you. It takes no electricity and no gas to grow a garden. My Amish neighbors do it every year.

Cured meats is an irrelevant point. Grow beans.

Grains and vegetables can be canned and dried (are canned and dried by my neighbors every year). No electricity needed.

I think you vastly overestimate the difficulties of gardening (not farming) out here. We do it every year here in Iowa. Without all the support you imagine we need.
Speaking of cheap rent, I'm in São Carlos for a few days and it seems awesome for startups. I'm considering moving here.

Off topic: actually, I'm here due to a thread about the city you started on HN some months ago! I have some more questions about how São Carlos has worked out for you - if you'd be free to meet and discuss, please email me (I can't find yours anywhere unfortunately):

> However people are afraid to leave her negative reviews because they don't want her to leave them a negative review as well. It's ridiculous.

I work at Airbnb. Maybe we have to do a better job of making it clear that the review is double-blind, to prevent this dilemma. Go ahead and write an accurate review. It can't be seen by the other party (or anyone else) until two weeks have passed or the other person wrote their review, whichever comes first.
I like to ask the candidate to do a code review on a pull request. It needs to be something where they'll be able to demonstrate a good grasp of the fundamentals of software engineering, along with a solid understanding of the specific platform they'll be working with. Bonus points if the pull request introduces a couple subtle bugs they'll need to ferret out :)
It sounds reasonable to me.
Another interesting comparison between clang/llvm and cparser/firm has to do with their respective preprocessors and underlying AST structures. cparser's entity_t and related structures are clean, clear, and very easy to work with. That, together with the fact that cparser is written in C, allows you to effortlessly walk the AST while having access to its entire informationwithout the help of an iterator, and without having to call any specialized functions. Having worked with both (lib)clang and (lib)cparser, I consider cparser the better and easier library for source analysis, as well source-to-source transformation tools. Other areas where cparser's AST could be nicely exploited: a source editor that provides, in addition to syntax highlighting, information about linkage and effective optimization, and a source generation tool based on the user's own code gallery.
True. I keep hoping she was just doing that, or mindlessly parroting something she heard, rather than internalizing subtle cultural cues!
Ansible can easily do this out of the box. It's agent-less, too, so you don't need to install anything on the remote host either. And if you're not using config management, it's about time and Ansible is a great place to start!

I guess if you optimised for a net 'landing' you'd also be losing the ability to realistically land anywhere you want, since you'd have to have a net there. learning this way would potentially open up any flat surface
The problem is that people complain but many then go ahead and book the cheapest flight whether it's to save their own money or to comply with corporate travel policies. I'm not sure what "disruption" you have in mind that isn't available to existing carriers.
The poor state of its testing is the biggest red flag I have towards Consul. I'm much more positive about it in its way than I am about other Hashicorp tools like Packer and Terraform, if only because it seems like Consul is core enough to the way they want to make money that it's more important to them. But there doesn't seem to be a culture of correctness and strong testing around those tools; trusting my sensitive data to a tool that's as complex and complicated as Consul is worries me. (I feel like it should be normal to have something maintaining my cryptographic secrets to be at least as well-tested as my web framework...)

Of the tools listed in the OP, I feel really good about Square Keywhiz; I'm still rolling it out in my first environment, so I can't say for sure, but I appreciate the level of effort that's gone into only doing secret storage and making sure it is exhaustively tested to spec.
This is one of my least favorite interview antipatterns: multiple small tasks that only show understanding of one of hundreds (if not thousands) of concepts front end devs should understand. Most things here are easily googleable - why judge someone on something that won't hamper them if they blank on it in the day-to-day?

Pub trivia is fun in the pub but absolutely rubbish for determining if a candidate is good at what they do.
Author here, thanks for the comments! I added two problems to http://a3nm.net/work/research/questions/#well-known-conjectu... following ideas here.
Do we get any new insight with this?
It's a whole lot of little things. On one flight, there wasn't enough space for my carry-on, so they told me to check it. I assumed they had meant "gate check", because that's what other airlines I fly do, but instead it got routed to the carousel, and because my next flight was on a different airline, there was no way to route it to my final destination; I had to leave the security area and come back in to continue. Thankfully security was light and I didn't miss my flight. The least they could have done was to check to make sure I understood what this entailed, and worked to find a solution.
About 1/2 of the flights I've taken in the past 5 years have been on United or Continental. 11 flights on United and 4 flights on Continental[1] (I keep track of my airline travel in a spreadsheet). 2 of my United flights were international. My most recent United flights was in late 2014.

I can only speak for myself, but I've never had a bad experience with United or Continental. A few small delays here or there. One 3 hour delay caused by really bad weather, but no cancellation: I still made it to my destination before 1am.

For context, I've always flown economy, by myself or in a small group, and usually departing from Austin or Houston.

[1] In this instance, 1 flight = 1 leg.

All of the situations where holograms are used are practical situations, not art.

For example, you don't care about the screen quality on an ATM or purchase kiosk as long as it is readable.

Given that this is a world where such technology is just everyday tools, I thought having them artistically imperfect made them more realistic.

I'm somewhat naive regarding S3. If data is in RAM, can you prevent it being swapped to disk and read by an unauthorised user?

(I guess "RAM" and "disk" are virtual entities, but hopefully the spirit of the question still applies.)
Another big blocker is cost.

For example, one of the biggest CDNs in the world (I'm looking at you, Akamai), charge dramatically more for delivering content over HTTPS. Let's say you're delivering video content at scale, the difference between HTTP and HTTPS delivery can be many millions of dollars a year.

But why not use a different CDN, say Cloudfront which prices the same for HTTP and HTTPS?, well, simple, the same problem. Cloudfront is many times more expensive than other CDNs at scale.

Really, we need to apply pressure to all CDNs to equal out their HTTPS pricing (Its not just Akamai...)

Or, just because you understand the underlying technology doesn't mean you understand the market, and your previous experience will get in the way of actually understanding the market.

If you want to go down the tech stack, though, you might be successful because you're part of the market for that tech.
What the article misses is families. The same reason cable package have stayed around a lot longer than expected are families.

Sure the majority of vehicle miles are commuting to work, 1 person commuting to work, generally in the city. But part of the appeal of a car ownership is solving the whole family getting to their leisure area over the we. Anecdotally that's actually the whole reason I even have a car at all - it is very convenient to have your properly size, properly equipped car waiting for you to go. The usage pattern of a family during the we is also sufficiently different that it is going to take a lot of time for the magic combination of all the tech listed in the article to impose themselves completely.

That's not to say that I'm pessimistic or in disagreement with the article, it is just another of those 90%-10% problem. Since that 10% covers leisure time it is not going away and that should be acknowledged in the article.

Another thing that is missing from the article is car rental. The reason I will be able to keep my car a few more years past its already 15 year old is that I will be able to boost the deficiencies of my current car by renting car for the 1% of the those times where I need a better ride. There have been some progress in that area too, like zipcar, that smoothes a few use cases between Uber and full car ownership. It can only also benefit from technology like self-driving to better manage the car pool and seems like a perfect fit for electricity (cities allocate specific parking spot for zipcar, so they could have plug ready there and zipcars are used for small trips). There is no similarly innovative rental model between very short rental and traditional week-end / holiday rental. Regular rental car companies are still operating exactly the same as their where 20 years ago.
I bought one - use it all the time now. I pretty much only use it for three things:

1. Plex (for local streaming of .. eh.. videos from my desktop computer)

2. Netflix.

3. Youtube.

Pretty much the rest of the apps are quite weak.

I really love the way it uses HDMI-CEC to wake up the tv from sleep, and also includes an IR volume control for my receiver. I think this alone caused me to not watch any regular cable tv for like two months, because I would have to use more than one remote control to do so. :)
Funny you mention PlanGrid because I grew up doing contruction and considered the company. I remember being much more satisfied with my work back then... A fundemental difference I see is that a project is started and then finished, not started and then kept on life support until V2 can be started.

Alas your company is in the city and I prefer the valley.
You'd figured with the reduction in fuel prices they'd be able to spend that extra cash on its clients or erase those dumb baggage fees!

I don't buy the arguments in this article. For example, the whole part about why Google failed with Google+ is just wrong IMO. It wasn't that Google wasn't capable of building a good social network. If anything, I (and most people I know) preferred the design and interface of Google+. The problem was that Facebook already had a huge head start, and all your friends were already there. Facebook was "good enough", and there wasn't a big enough incentive to want to switch to Google+.

If anything, large companies often miss out on new trends and changes in business and technology, but it's not solely because building that one new layer "up the stack" is so technically hard or different.
I haven't looked. I use whatever allocator is in libc anyway, so it will depend on what platform you're running on.

At worst, using realloc produces the same results as malloc/memcpy/free. At best, it might save a memcpy. No harm in giving it that flexibility.
My CO also offers unlimited vacation (though they are careful to say it's actually "untracked vacation"). In my experience you can always try but there's a certain amount of unspoken personal capital that's involved that makes the whole process unnecessarily ambiguous.
One Paul Graham's more well known essays talks about how, in general, being cool and being a nerd both take a significant time investment, and to be good at one you have to forgo the other.

I'd argue that the airline industry was disrupted, in pretty much the classic "provide something that works OK for a lot of people at a cheaper price" sense. This is the result. The rise of budget carriers and people consistently choosing lowest price over everything else for flights led the legacy carriers to smash more and more seats into planes and remove all those little niceties that used to come as part of the experience: food, free checked bags, playing cards, whatever. Basically anything that doesn't actively bring in money or is at least free to re-use for the next flight.

EDIT: it makes sense, too. I can't blame people for that decision, I've made the same one. How many bucks is it really worth to be a bit less uncomfortable for 2 hours? 3 hours? Even 6 hours? Especially if I'm flying with a partner I'm sitting next to, which makes the leg-room/personal-space issue less annoying. And even when flying internationally, would I rather dedicate more money towards the flight itself, or to upgrading my accommodations for the time I'm spending overseas?
You know, when you put it like this it all makes so much more sense.
Does the latest AppleTV support enterprise wifi? I don't believe so (unless something has changed in the past few months).
Yeah. To be honest, I almost looked forward to layovers during air travel for my once- or twice- yearly McDonalds visit. The food options in airports, as dismal and overpriced as they tend to be, are gourmet fare compared with what's served on the airplane.

I'd just as soon not have to shuffle my laptop or book around to make space for lousy food.
Dropbox is a hybrid, both B2B and B2C.
I have the same question (by "secure", my meaning is "intact, without tampering"). I don't see a need for secrecy that I'm downloading an innocent Linux package or other public ISO.
...seriously, buddy, take a deep breath and back away from the men's rights blogosphere. That level of persecution complex is not a healthy way to think about life.
The stuff they sell is quite good. I much prefer paying form something decent than getting crap for free.
