I think if people equate homosexuality with more earnings there is a real danger of people seeking it for the wrong reason. Hope this study does not encourage more women to become lesbian.

Or, less snarkily, some people believe that homeless people are rational actors like the rest of us, and therefore gravitate towards the regions with the highest cash benefits/most generous housing programs/etc.

Therefore, it would behoove the homeless to protect those benefits by lying about their point of origination to garner more sympathy from those who pay for their benefits.

I think you are not wrong, but the point I was trying to make is that the whispered conversation of romantic partners is now something that is recorded and written and sent, the reality is that the law didnt change to become more draconian, the people's behavior changed so that the law FEELS more draconian.

Basically, when most of your society is illiterate, they are not creating evidence for LEO to subpoena in the first place.
You should question all concepts that you consider.
Andrew's comment was very eye opening for me as well.

Is it possible we as humans have a well performing optimized search/compute algorithm in our brains that we have not been able to discover and recreate in machines yet ? In essence are we just bio-robots and procreation is just a method to bootstrap the next iteration of the bio-machine ?

If you look at the Boston Dynamics quad-legged robot, it "almost" feels like a real dog. CPU instead of Brain. Wires instead of Blood. Steel frame vs bones. The major difference being it doesn't have a large data set of experiences to behave like a real dog. Behavior/Emotions can be bootstrapped and eventually collected as experiences to query for future reactions.
I think it's the htmlpreview: the back throws you into a redirection to the current page.
sometimes this attitude comes out in some of the HN comments that it's unfair for someone who works 60 hours a week and answers emails at 9 pm to get a promotion over the single mother who walks in the door at 9 am sharp and is pulling out of the parking lot at 5.

I think the complaint is often more -- judge the actual business impact. Not shallow shiny measures, such as how long you're in the office.

Unfortunately, what I tended to see was a lot of ping pong from noon to 5pm, and then work from 5pm to midnight. Just because your workplace is your fun place, doesn't mean you deserve a promotion.
Thank you for the Confucius quote. Humbling and uplifting.

Can it? Myers says otherwise.

His overall point is "research into this is useful; freezing people's brains is not, because the freezing process destroys necessary parts of what makes you 'you'". Is there a refutation of his point?
VAT is universally applied to (most) things, though as I understand it there are still a fair many exceptions and special-cases (e.g. zero-rating). The US has far more one-off taxes on specific random things, like gasoline and phone service. Ostensibly to pay for related items, such as roads and phone subsidies respectively, but sometimes it's just a random tax in a particular area to raise revenue.
> VAT is placed on everything

In England some items are zero rated, (most food, children's clothes, books etc) and other items have lower rates.

> and people are just fine with that

There's a pretty vigorous campaign to move tampons and pads to the zero rate.
... but it could be. They still can serve ads there!
If lesbians make more because wage setters are less concerned about them having children, what is the hypothesis for why gay men make less?
I think most of us think people should not be encouraged to work 60 hours a week, and that doing unpaid work and burning yourself out shouldn't be necessary in order to get a promotion. If somebody wants to go crazy and let their job take over their life then fine, but that behaviour is only going to cause problems in the long run, so it shouldn't be rewarded, and certainly shouldn't move the bar for everyone else.
well that house was sold again 1990 so the taxable value was reassessed.
So first you're going going to put words into his mouth claiming he supports things he explicitly disavows and then you're going to be condescending and rude about it.

That's, well, condescending and rude, beside being an outright misrepresentation of someone else's views, whatever you may think of them.
No. Most Quebeckers are not bilingual, and many of them do not want to be bilingual, as they believe that if they became bilingual, French would lose status.

Travis is mainly for running tests and would require you to write your own validations. And I'm not sure if they have support for validating the descriptions of PRs and issues? Hound looks awesome! But it's only for code style validation. GitMagic will enforce contributing guidelines such as how to write commits, branches, what to include in PR descriptions, issues, and even file structure/naming conventions.
I have to say, I'd find those very helpful... Except most celebs wear stuff that doesn't really fit your average fat slob (me), or even most decent people. I always wonder what woman would actually want to wear the trash these people choise, but I guess there must be a lot of them, or that feature would have stopped long ago.

Actually, with a warrant the police should be able to get through your encryption.

The debate is not about whether or not the state can look at your communication, the debate is how. When the state wants to look at your communications and has a warrant to do so, do they:

Demand your keys and lock you in jail indefinitely until you provide them?

Or retain permanent access to every communication and promise to never use it unless they have a warrant.
They are partly shaped by society and culture.
Personal experience here - everything got better when I really started being a dick. I flat out tell them that they can't change reality and things take time; and I will not work extra hours or during the weekend to keep promises I didn't make. I had the same feeling of "when are they going to fire me" but actually it looks I am getting much more respect.
This house changed hands in 1990 for $1M where it got reassessed - otherwise they would be paying 2-3k max if purchased and held since 1978.
How so? Before down voting please point out the flaw in my argument.

That's begging the question.

It's also a loaded question.
So is there an app available (hopefully yours) that tells me when/what I need to do to hit the "right" numbers each day?
I'm saying that when asked for a debugging estimate, you should commit to spending no more than an hour (or other amount, depending on the problem) before stopping to report on your progress. How you spend that hour depends on the circumstances; if you could predict that then you probably already know enough to give a somewhat accurate estimate.

When you stop to report on your progress, you don't need to deliver detailed notes. It could be as simple as "yeah, fixed it" or "figured out the problem, I need three hours to refactor the code to resolve it" or "based on what I'm seeing, Bob would be better at fixing this; I can spend a few minutes to show him how to reproduce it."

"try things at random" is not debugging, so you're right about the process.
It's hard but needed to differentiate between UTF-16 and UChar byte array. UChar byte array are not essentially an well-formed UTF-16 string. Beyond, why bother use UnicodeString? It's fairly easy to use. It covers the detail from your sight.

It's indeed super cool to see a modern Unicode C++ library. But anyway, is it really useful for production usage? The answer could be no. In contrast, ICU was old, battle-tested, compact and well-tested.

Assuming that people are lying on surveys is quite common, but unless there's systematic organized bias sampling theory suggests an approximately equal number of people will lie in the opposite direction and that both 'signals' will fall into the noise floor.

You can argue this point all you want, but Bitcoin is not really getting any support from the masses until it's brain dead easy.

Most people understand that when they swipe their card, dollars are taken out of their account. It's a fairly simple process and pretty easy to understand.

Bitcoin is much more complicated. You need to have files on a hard drive, a wallet, and to send bitcoin, it's non-trivial.

Not to mention all of the crappy insecure websites getting hacked left and right. I know of at least 3 people that bought Bitcoin and lost it all because it was deleted accidentally.

There is also trust there. I run a business using business credit cards and I need to file disputes occasionally. 99.9% of the time, I get my money back with a few phone calls.

This will never happen with Bitcoin.

To make it as easy as a credit card, there needs to be a central authority..which is against the whole premise of Bitcoin.

You more or less have to assume sexual attention is unwanted in the workplace. This is merely a default, and is sometimes the wrong assumption; the problem is that the error is more serious when you assume the attention is ok but wasn't.

"But I'm polite and I'll back off if Cute Tech Support Gal isn't uninterested" isn't enough. When multiple customers decide to hit on her, this is probably upsetting to her regardless of whether you in particular were willing to back off. Even if everyone backs off it's still upsetting. It negatively impacts her work experience. Especially if her coworker, Tech Support Guy, is not constantly flirted with and customers treat him more professionally instead.

To me it's self-evident that hitting on someone using a tech support form or chat is especially lame. We're not talking about a couple who are coworkers, go to lunch frequently, talk every day, and then something blossoms between them. I've no problem with that. Instead, this is creepy male customer behavior, which decide to abruptly hitting on a staff member just because she was a girl and they liked their tiny profile picture. This really screams "inappropriate".
On one side of a transaction you have VCs, who have long investment horizons and are highly incentivized to maximize returns, taking a short-term profit on an investment long before it has (theoretically) reached its potential. On the other side of the transaction you have GM and a Saudi Prince.

I wonder who is the smart money...
Thats true, but did you read the article though? It addresses tech industry in several paragraphs at the very beginning. The older tech industries might be CAD-orientied, but any new startup aspires to be global and charges in USD.
People don't seek homosexuality.

At least, I sure as hell didn't.

(Clarification: I'm male, so technically I'd be out of scope anyway since I'm supposed to earn less because of who I am according to the article, but the point stands.)
Their circulation numbers are usually so high and their costs so low, that they'll be the last to go. You could literally print 20 pages of infomercials there and someone would still pick it up.

>And don't say, we need parks! I'm fairly certain that large amounts of that parkland is unused because you need to hike in pretty deep to enjoy it.

So we should monitor how far people hike into these parks? And if the number of people in a remote part of a city park falls below X number of people a day for Y days we should just bulldoze that part of the park for buildings?

A Gentle Introduction to Secure Computation
A perfect demonstration of the problem. Being above average intelligence is so great and wonderful, it means life should be easy for those folks, and it means we can dehumanize gifted individuals and downplay their problems. They can't be real problems right? Smart people can't have real problems, they're so smart!

The reality is that the system is ill serving many gifted individuals, so much so that it's not just causing gifted kids to not reach their potential but it's causing many of them to have diminished outcomes compared to "normal" kids, with some examples of terrible tragedy (suicide, homelessness, drug addiction, etc.)
Except it lacks 99% of the readily available tools in R.
It doesn't follow that someone would choose to change their sexual orientation for a possible 9% increase.

People dont spontaneously change their sexual orientation because its slightly easier to do it this way, otherwise the hardships and trials that the gay community had experienced the last 50 years could have been waved away by just magically turning straight.

It's utter madness to suggest that is going to happen or people reading an article on a news site will somehow "decide" to go gay because of their pay.

IMO you absolutely deserve the downvotes for this argument, and most people probably dont think they need to justify such a widely accepted point.
Choosing work that is paid less in not being punished for your choices -- that's silly -- it's the obvious and expected result of having made that choice.

Nurses btw, make very good money.

Looking at a list of male-dominated fields just now, I noticed that they're all dangerous occupations: Construction, Logging, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction.

Should they essentially be punished for those choices by bringing safer jobs' salaries to the same level?
don't twitters activists see the irony of using a platform owned by horrible misogynist and human right violaters like Prince Al-Waleed.
I have a friend who did research on this, and IIRC, I believe the hypotheses are:

1. They leave jobs after being outed and the churn results in lower earnings.
2. Two men, unencumbered by glass ceilings, forego max earnings to have better work life balance.

EDIT: I should qualify that I don't remember what the conclusions were.
The article calls it the "manpo-kei", but the Japanese sign clearly says "manpo mētā" (Manpo-Meter) with "meter" in katakana.

> single mother who walks in the door at 9 am sharp and is pulling out of the parking lot at 5

I'm Dad and I pick my kids up at school at 3:15. I will leave at 3:05 and I will do work at home if necessary. My problem is other people are clearly more valuable to the bottom line of "Getting their Work Done." I didn't marry till I was 33 and I was always the MVP. After being married I can't just sleep and eat a project till it gets done anymore. Heck I would pull two all nighters a month just to know everything was done.

Right now I am in the point of life where my experience and core values are my value to the job. Thankfully I am in a place where those matter to my employers.
Being flippant is really unhelpful, and kind of insulting.

People really care about software.

Instead of just responding to us now with a letter that's totally sparse on details, what if GitHub gave us an idea of what they're actually going to do? "We're sorry" is really annoying to hear almost a month after the fact.
It depends on where and when you are talking about.

When I was growing up anyone who was nominated by their teachers would simply skip grades or get shifted into an honours program if it was available for their level.

Just as I was graduating high school however, all the gifted programs were phased out as being unnecessary (or unfair depending on whom you talked to). There was much hay made about the tight school budget needing to go to support students who were being left behind by the new national testing standards.

Now, though, ten years later, they have magnet schools for the talented which are by nomination only.
I had never heard of this distinction, and I also dislike it. This definition of "reproduce" seems to fly in the face of the word's more general meaning. "Verify" and "re-analyze" seem like a more natural fit.

Yes, we need a way of describing those two different things. But using "reproduce" and "replicate" (which, as the article showed by its actual usage, tend to be seen as synonymous) does not seem like a good way to go.
Someone is organizing the system to pay the lowest possible wages. This someone operates within deeply entrenched structures of power. Someone also didn't let women vote until 1920 in the US... 1959 in Switzerland. And someone made sure that inheritance customs were patrilineal... someone admired extremely patriarchal societies like the old Roman and Greek... someone treated women as property... someone kept women out of the universities... someone kept them out of the guilds and professions... who is this guy?

I know! It starts when you can't call a woman a slut, threaten her life, and post her private details and nude pictures on Twitter, and then before you know it you can't print out her picture, ejaculate onto it, and mail the soiled photo to her family[1]. What a crazy world we're headed towards.

That a person would continue to work for a given rate does not imply that they don’t mind working for that rate. There are many reasons why one might continue. They may not be trained in another occupation. They may not have the money to choose to stop working in an effort to make a statement about their rate. They may even want to continue working despite their objections about how much they’re being paid.

Not a remote job per se - but my side project which pays me in USD is working out quite well since the Canadian dollar started sliding. The economics of a building small side project have improved dramatically if you can get paid in USD and live in Canada.
A facade should only add one layer of indirection.

As for project-level management of external dependencies the tooling can be used to provide a facade for imports. I'm not sure about Webpack but JSPM already does this using a config.js file that maps all of the dependencies to readable import names, sans version numbers so the site doesn't break on future updates.

Ideally, once ES6 modules are used more widely it would be great to see libs start to adopt the facade pattern to provide finer granularity of control without deep linking into a project's source.
We have no evidence that homosexuality is a choice. We do have evidence that it may have epigenetic [1] and/or neonatal origins [2], neither of which are factors under an individual's control.

Suggesting women may "turn lesbian" to access higher incomes thus presupposes a conversion mechanism that has not been shown to exist. Suggesting it as a possibility could be offensive to some given how gay rights were restricted with political arguments framing homosexuality as a personal choice.
