Docker, Alpine, Ubuntu, and You
Pure, unmitigated bullshit. 'Everyone knew it' is the first defense of a cheater (and of quite a few criminals) but rather than being a true defense that's just an admission of participation in a systematic fraud. There only needs to be one cyclist (in this context) who is racing without doping in accordance with the rules to invalidate your entire thesis; the reality is that people are invited to view and participate in an athletic competition, and that insofar as it is a doping game once you get inside professional cycling, everyone else should be getting prosecuted for perpetuating a fraud upon the public, as Adam Smith recognized centuries ago in The Wealth of Nations when advising governments to be wary of trusting industry associations: 'People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.'

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Lance Armstrong, you have to hand it to the guy. He certainly made the most out of his cheating win streak through one of the greatest charities of all time. Cheating in sports is one thing. His true legacy was doing whatever he could to help others cheat death as he did.

Or so he says. Of course it's rather difficult to assess the opportunity cost here, since sports-affiliated charities engaged in medical research are now inevitably tainted by association. A look at the Livestrong Foundation's Form 990 suggests the organization spent almost as much on compensating its executive staff and lobbyists as it did on grant issuance, and the amount it has disbursed, while substantial (at least $100m over its lifetime, I estimate) is not so large in absolute terms, such that I question your accolade of 'one of the greatest charities of all time.'

I don't have anything for or against Lance Armstrong; I am not very interested in cycling, and I don't think doping in sport represents some sort of moral nadir, but is merely shabby. But I have a big problem with your uncritical acceptance of the fact that because 'everyone knows' there's an inner game that has little to do with the outer game - a phenomenon which seems to exist in almost every sphere of life - that that's OK. It's fraud perpetuated on the general public, which is educated to both respect and fear the moral code of self-restraint inherent in the social contract, and which (importantly) is the most effective governor of interpersonal relations at the individual level. Even many animals have standards of fairness, and to actively undermine those in an organized fashion is, well, cancerous to civilization and our collective wellbeing. Paradoxically, I've become rather fond of 'pharmabro' Martin Shkreli because while he operated his businesses in extremely anti-social fashion, he is pretty up-front about about the fact that he is doing so for pure economic advantage, in contrast to the blatant hypocrisy of all the other people doing likewise while striking postures of humility.
I'm not morally opposed to the service--I'm opposed to moralizing the issue and pretending that you're fighting "fat cats" even as you create a service that exists solely to sell their content to other people.

Given that from this article's stats it even admits there are 15 times more male self-identified programmers then women on github, a 4% difference in pull requests accepted is tiny.

No, I don't see any flaw.

Yeah I figured this out once I read the article about it on recode.

Ask HN: What do you hate the most about Android Development?
Per padseeker's sibling comment, asking random strangers for help at a gym is not an analogy because there's no social expectation that you'll be asked for help or that you'll provide such help just by going to the gym, whereas forums are places where you're expected to ask for help.

The relevant comparison would be to the gym's front desk. So, extending the metaphor:

1) Yes, it would be offputting if you asked them about lifts there and they just scoffed.

2) Yes, I have asked for help like this before ("where's the first aid kit, I'm bleeding?") and had that treatment, and it sucked.

3) But being pointed to the appropriate resource is a very reasonable response, and it's analogous to (a precise variant of) RTFM. It would be like:

"How do I lift?" -> "Oh, ask one of the people in red shirts."

"What are the rules?" -> "Oh, it's on that sign over there."

Not much different from:

"How do I make a website?" -> "start from this link"

"How do I make my DB queries faster?" -> "search for database index"

Amazon’s Exploding Employee Base
Here are some California cases that discuss the issue, but I'm pretty sure federal law and the law of most states is similar:

The prosecution has no “duty to conduct the defendant’s investigation for him.” People v. Verdugo, 50 Cal. 4th 263, 288–89 (2010) (citation and internal quotations omitted); People v. Williams, 58 Cal. 4th 197, 257 (2013); People v. Zambrano, 41 Cal. 4th 1082, 1134 (2007), overruled on other grounds, People v. Doolin, 45 Cal. 4th 390, 421 n.22 (2009); People v. Salazar, 35 Cal. 4th 1031, 1048–50 (2005).

Because “the law does not ‘impose a general duty on prosecutorial officials to serve as defense investigators,’ ” People v. Moore, 50 Cal. App. 3d 989, 993 (1975) (quoting People v. Beagle, 6 Cal. 3d 441, 450–51 (1972), superseded on other grounds, Cal. Const., art. I, § 28), police are not generally required to collect particular items of evidence, People v. Montes, 58 Cal. 4th 809, 837 (2014); In re Michael L., 39 Cal. 3d 81, 86 (1985) (“police cannot be expected to gather up everything which might eventually prove useful to the defense”) (citation and internal quotations omitted); People v. Frye, 18 Cal. 4th 894, 943 (1998) (“as a general matter, due process does not require the police to collect particular items of evidence”), overruled on other grounds, People v. Doolin, 45 Cal. 4th 390, 421 n.22 (2009); People v. Callen, 194 Cal. App. 3d 558, 561 (1987) (“[The] law does not impose upon law enforcement agencies the requirement that they take the initiative, or even any affirmative action, in procuring … evidence deemed necessary to the defense of an accused.”) (citation and internal quotations omitted); People v. Bradley, 159 Cal. App. 3d 399, 407 (1984) (same).

Throw the case names and citations into Google Scholar to find the full text of the cases - which provide reasoning (unpersuasive, in my view).

Scrolling down your website is very slow, weird and annoying. Also the scroll left to go back gesture isn't working.
I applaud effort. I just feel there's some glaring gaps that make alarms go off. I'm sharing those. I know this looks fantastic, but that's when I start checking for a venire. And when I do, those smells popped up.
If you live overseas then you probably want to do thing like save up for retirement, or a house. While you can have a US bank account, it means taking a loss to change the money first to then from dollars.

You also have to be very careful with your direct deposit. If it goes into your local account (because it's expensive and more complicated to wire the money to a US account) and make $5K/month then you have to be absolutely sure that your local bank account doesn't have $5K in it. And be sure to watch the exchange rates!

If you sell a house, you can't put the profits into a local account but must figure out some way to have everything sent to the US. Which may not be easy.

In some countries, like Sweden where I live, the government can fill out your taxes for you, because they know how much you make - except for foreign accounts. If you have, say, $100K in a US account, drawing interest, then you have to declare it appropriately.

So no, it's not easier for the millions of Americans who live overseas to keep the bulk of their money in a US bank account.
Okay! And presumably for the code scaffolding you will eventually let library authors customize that themselves?
There are only two appropriate ways to handle it: if the offense is not egregious, address the incident with the offender in private. If the offense is egregious, or if you do not feel comfortable enough to discuss it with the offender, then you should report it to whatever authority figures are responsible for the context of the incident.

"Calling out" the behavior consistently creates vigilantism, and puts an unfair burden on the accused. In instances of sexism I have never, ever seen the accused treated as "innocent until proven guilty" in the eyes of the online hate mobs.

Tim Hunt's experience was bad enough that he admitted to thoughts of suicide. This is a man fully respected in his field and has a knighthood, but still had difficulty facing the onslaught of hatred.
I feel like this has already been real-world tested, and manual sorting loses to algorithms. Facebook had categories or lists (can't remember what they called them) and few people used them. Google+ had the "circles" as a key differentiator vs. Facebook, and it did not help them compete at all.

I think social media lists are one of those ideas that seems great in theory, but whose value is dynamically unstable in real life.

Lists are only valuable if they are well-maintained. But maintainence takes time and attention, which are not always available. And once lists start to be compromised, even a little, then it will take even more time and attention to fix them. Which makes it even more unlikely they'll be fixed.

Obviously lists work for you, but it seems like they don't for most folks.
Interesting stuff indeed, and it comes with a giant implication that few want to face. In the US, a country that so embarrassingly struggles with the finance of health care, preferring to insert inessential insurance and bloated pharma industries between patients and decent health outcomes, we have to expect that the news that treatment itself may be optional will be most eagerly received by those industries. It is not good to hand a fig leaf such as this idea to industries that profit from withholding care.

Only 35% percent of the accounts have their gender listed in a linked Google+ account. Checking someone's social media profile is a relatively sure way of automatically determining the gender of a lot of people. The authors did use another automated tool to see if they could figure out the gender of users from their Github profile as well, which is something they needed for the second part of their analysis. They don't specify how accurate that procedure was, so it's possible that they are more accurate than you think.

Of course, there is still the issue that they have effectively limited their sample to people with Google+ accounts which may affect the results of the study. Given that men's acceptance rate also dropped when their gender was identifiable (but not by as much) gives credence to the idea that there might be a flaw in their Github profile analyzer.
I already did add some shadow to the text, it seems to me its much more readable now.

Thank you again!
That is an incorrect definition of "owe." Owing begins at the inception of incurring a liability, not at the moment of being legally required to pay the obligation.

And even if you had used the correct definition, retorts like yours are pointlessly pedantic, petty and add no value to a discussion.
Excellent, now we'll finally be able to legally sing a song that everybody has already been singing for almost 100 years. It's a good thing we got this in under the wire before the next Mickey Mouse extension.

Facebook releases so fast. So when something is brand new and it's already not using the latest, I feel afraid.

The example project doesn't use the import syntax, it's using require, and feels like it's coming from ECMA5 in a brand new video. I just worry, can they keep up? Facebook releases breaking changes often so it's a valid concern.
I haven't played any games in a long time. Just looking at the top positions I have a feeling the list is largely based on nostalgia? I'd expect current games to be seriously better than games from 15+ years ago?
For all the people from HN dreaming of American immigration, be aware that 'US citizens' in this article (any anything else pertaining to taxation) should generally be read as 'US citizens and permanent residents'.

Also be aware that while renouncing permanent residency is much simpler (and you'll be sure to lose it if you're out of the country long enough), you may be exposed to significant tax liabilities for doing so - especially if you're holding illiquid startup stock.
If there was one thing I could change right this moment about HN it would be that people refer to each other as 'bro'. I'm not your 'bro'.

And to your point, the metaphor was not about cryonics being profitable, reading comprehension failure on your part.
For values of "some" that included the overwhelming majority of those who have looked at the data scientifically, and excludes a large swath of people who have something to lose from the implications. Funny, that.
From what I understood of the law when I was wondering about my banks, yes.

Though I have no idea how small and local the bank would be to not have to think about it.
So, the immediate followup: drugs out there that I could preemptively condition myself for that would be particularly useful in the future. Like, could I condition an epinephrine response so I have a more reliable response to an unknown allergy than hoping someone has an epipen?
My take is that everybody wants to institute measures that benefit them and hinder others

How convenient for you! What would your response be towards a verifiable counter-example?
No, not necessarily, but in many cases it has a significant genetic factor.

Sometimes that genetic factor doesn't result in truly sociopathic behavior (perhaps just courageousness or diminished emotionality and affect) until it's combined with environmental factors. And sometimes someone without any of the known genetic factors becomes psychopathic due to a terrible upbringing. But I think there's evidence of a genetic component for "true" sociopaths/psychopaths in a significant proportion of cases.

That's incorrect. The study identified the gender of the Github users twice. They got their 'canonical' gender for users using your method (and removed from their sample users who could not be identified with this method,) but later to figure out whether a user's gender was identifiable, they used the Github user's own profile.

Non-Google+ users were not analyzed at all. That could possibly still influence the results, but not the way you are suggesting.
Giving any validity to someone with an obvious ax to grind is already going above and beyond.
What harm is done by giving something away without restricting anyone's options? How is it similar to a regional monopoly giving preferential treatment to some content? What are the reasons to oppose this that do not apply to giving away anything imaginable?

(I understand it's a self-serving move by FB but on those grounds alone one can be opposed to anything.)

...Yes, those don't seem to be persuasive, especially when the laws prevent the defendant from properly conducting their investigation by denying them large and important classes of information, and even more so when the police are required to investigate the prosecution's case for them. This seems like a major failure mode for the entire judicial system.

I don't think the drop is the important bit - men's AR also drops when gender identifiable.

In fact, they both drop when identified to a point which (as far as I can tell from the graph; figures aren't given) they are within each other's confidence interval.

So actually, we're more critical of everyone when their gender is disclosed; equally so.

Which I find surprising. I'd have thought if anything, we'd be more trusting and supportive of the person disclosing a picture, name, etc. (the criteria used for gender identification).
That doesn't have anything to do with my point above, which is that the alternative hypothesis "people with some property X are better at game Y, and separately, people with property X are more likely to cheat" is not ruled out by experiment 1 as described.

Edit: you could also differentiate between "winning->cheating" and the confounder possibility by having the cheatable game first.
Big cats don't need to preserve heat, because of the square-cube law?
Well, they used two steps. First they identified a sample set of contributors that have self identified, thus validated to some extent, their gender.

Further down they then distinguish between contributors where the gender can be inferred from looking at their name & profile picture. Splitting the group of those 35% which were identified via Google+ into two separate groups - identifiable vs. non-identifiable.
