Little known fact: the legal regime in the US shields the utility from liability in case of accident. Recall the utility wasn't sued after Three Mile Island.

If utilities were made liable for harm for nuclear disasters, how long do you suppose it would be before every last one was decommissioned? I suspect all the cost savings TFA hopefully imagines vanish in comparison to the cost of liability.

I also note TFA makes no attempt to express the South Korean costs in USD terms. It wouldn't surprise me, given the state of South Korea's economic development in 1971, if what the graph depicts is not a miraculous decline in costs, but a predictable trend toward the global norm.
You are not getting very far with this equation. Returns on investment are mostly defined by the C/I relation (government spending can go on either side) (and yes, that is on average, and nominal), and this is the one that needs fixing.
Sorry to say but thats just going with ad-hoc explanations, I'm from Brazil and from my understanding only people who have a engineering degree can call themselves engineers, I worry about finding the keys to perfect software and perfect software development every single day, but in my view there is not Software Engineering yet. Almost everyone has its own idea of what software engineering is... thats not how engineering disciplines work.

Close, but I don't think that quite accounts for the whole story. For instance, if minimum wage is raised, it depends on how much it's raised by to determine what % of workers will have increased wages. If we took it up to (purely as an example) $15/hr, then everybody earning less than that would also see a pay raise, but would not be included in the 1%. I don't know where you got your previously cited statistics, so I can't exactly run the numbers to see the impact, but I imagine it could be a sizable effect.
But what was weird is that they did go through a non-trivial amount of the initial interview process with me, then became silent for 3 weeks, and then said that they had an internal candidate. (It sounded to me like the internal candidate applied for the role after my first interview, but I can't say for sure).

That's why it struck me as so strange.
I use a Trello board as well. I love how I can categorize ideas, add notes to them, and organize them easily.

As much as this is all accurate mostly, I'm sure that the artisan breads are not the local high-end bakery per se. I mean, sure it might be some local bakery, I don't know the details. But Trader Joe's artisan breads are like the "artisan" breads from the local generic grocery. They are not like the really nice expensive breads from the actual local artisan bakery.
That makes no sense at all. The only way governments have "insurmountable advantage" is if they have more firepower and people willing to use that firepower than people willing to oppose them (plus their firepower). Governments do not (yet) have armies of robotic soldiers willing to do their bidding without question; this isn't the Clone Wars or droid wars or whatever. Governments need armies to do their military will, and those armies are composed of the People. This is why governments generally don't succeed at oppressing their own people; they can't get their military to go along with it. Now, of course, if the government is oppressing some other people (i.e., they invaded a foreign country), or they're oppressing some hated/demonized minority, that's another matter. The French and Polish didn't have much say in being oppressed by Nazi Germany, nor did the Jews/Gypsies/Roma there. However, the German people were not oppressed by the Nazis: they willingly elected them, and happily went along with their rule (except for some small minority of resistance forces).

I challenge you to show me any example of a government which was absolutely hated by its people and somehow managed to hold onto power. I don't think there is any. Every government gets popular support from somewhere, or else they wouldn't have an army to maintain their rule with. With occupations, it comes from the occupying nation. With places like Saddam's Iraq, it came from one powerful portion of the population that happily stomped on the other portions. With places like North Korea, it comes from a population that's been brainwashed into thinking the Dear Leader is basically a demigod.

No, because employees can leave at any time.

There was a time when labor was treated as a capital good, and it ended with the Emancipation Proclamation.
>>

Women tend to find themselves funneled into specific career paths that prioritize flexible hours and often pay less. Men face an opposite pressure - toward inflexible hours but higher pay. This is in large part because care for family members(children and elderly parents usually) is more often foisted upon women in our society than on men.

>>

I see no evidence to support this "funnel" at all in my life/work experience.

Workers on "flex" schedules in the tech sector underperform by a wide margin. I see little or no reason why I should prop up someone else's life / work choices with my own labor.
Yeah, compare to say, http://www.cutimes.com/2016/02/26/coast-central-credit-union...
Most credit unions have really poor technology.
And too much of the order is yammering about policies, procedures, and training. Like that is a magical panacea, vs. a good tokenized architecture. I can see sending Dwolla a notice (perhaps as an example to others), but a fine is way overreaching, in my opinion.
Minus videos and images over a certain size... not all that much. And it would compress pretty well.

Can it be fixed? In the end, pay is linked to productivity. The only fix I see is increased use of paternity leave.
Sometimes the job posting is done for the reason of renewing a worker's visa. Maybe showing there was some real action taken towards considering other candidates (15 minute phone screen) helps cover their ass in case the government comes knocking on their door.

An excerpt from the Monster Road documentary which is a great watch and is quite similar to David Lynch's Crumb documentary film.
I don't understand why we want a society where everyone is trying to both parent and work full time. Specialization is a powerful tool. Speaking personally it makes a lot more sense for my wife to stay home and have primary responsibility for raising our kids and managing our household while I focus on my career. Implicit in this discussion is that the woman who choose flexibility and child-rearing options are oppressed or less than and it's not the case in reality.
No. Requests will still be retried.
Very cool!

My guess was SpriteKit because there was only an iOS version :) The physics capabilities you get with are quite awesome. Haven't seen something that works equally well and that's cross platform. I started playing with Unity as a hobby ... given how programmable it is, I assume there are physics engine plugins for it.

Best of luck!!
is there anything in particular necessitating any belief at all about what priorities, abilities, and preferences men or women have? you can assess those things for actual, concrete human beings. there doesn't need to be any social pressure on people of any gender to conform to any of those notions.
> I think a lot of engineers are motivated by other things.

Sure, but it doesn't mean good engineers don't know what they are worth. If Etsy has hard time recruiting "engineers", Etsy should ask themselves what kind of deal they are offering in order to attract the profile they seek and not write a blog that dismiss "developers" as inferior. Because it reads like "if you're a developer stop applying", well if Etsy wants something else, or Etsy feels like it's not getting "the best of the best", it's Etsy's problem and what they offer, not the candidates.
If I sell some device with an upgradable firmware (which contains GPLed materials), I can allow users to download upgrades from my site without putting them through hoops to prove that they own the hardware. Yet if they ask for the source code, then I can put them through the hoops: convince me that you're actually one of my users, then you can have it.

And it's not because users who don't have my hardware cannot use the firmware. In fact, users of hardware which is not mine could potentially be users of the firmware. If a competitor clones my hardware, so that the firmware runs on it, the users of that cloned hardware can benefit from the upgrades that I provide, because I don't validate that they are using the genuine hardware.

I don't have to provide the cloned firmware with free upgrades and all to the users of the competing hardware, and in fact, I am not offering those upgrades to the users of that hardware. It just so happens that they are able to help themselves to it because it accessible (for the sake of the utmost convenience to genuine users). That is not the same thing as it being distributed to the entire public.

Just because something is accessible to the public doesn't mean that it's being offered to the public. Distribution requires some kind of offer. An accidental leak is not distribution, for example.
> … because society still sucks at gender equality when it comes to enabling parents to equally contribute to certain aspects of parenting.

You're assuming that even if society enabled the sexes to take equal time off that the sexes would, in fact, take equal time off. I suppose we could force people to take equal time off, but that hardly seems fair or right.
Fun fact: The gold is almost certainly cheaper in the long run.
I was just reading more about the Estonian developers of it there, BlueMoon Interactive. They also created the FastTrack P2P protocol and wrote Skype. Pretty impressive group there.
Yes, having a problem with Israel having a strong defense is antisemetic.
> society still sucks at gender equality when it comes to enabling parents to equally contribute

With very few exceptions, mammalian females are almost entirely responsible for child-rearing across the board. So all signs point that its also hormones too. We as a society need to start equalizing hormones. Women need to start taking testosterone and men need to take estrogen. We will only be equal once there is a single androgynous gender. This is the equality we are fighting for. This is the equality we deserve. #androgyny2016

Seriously though, there are some gender differences worth leaving to freedom of choice. Propensity to child-rear and hormone levels are among them, IMO.
> So what did you take issue with in the statement above? Just the word "foist," maybe?

Have you considered that most women actually prefer spending more time with their children and therefore prefer men that earn more to finance this? (therefore men focus on their career to attract women that usually at some point prefer to work on flexible schedules)
And there's the fact that its rendering of 1px vector rectangle borders depends on their location. Yup, sometimes they render a little bit thicker[1], which can be fixed by moving it up or down a couple pixels. I kind of hate Photoshop, except it's actually 10x better than anything else at what it does[2]. RIP Fireworks though.

(As of CS 5.5)

1. Photoshop does antialiasing/subpixel rendering on vector shapes, so while "a little bit thicker" is of course 2px, the second row of pixels is blended with what's nearby.

2. Haven't tried GIMP for a couple years though. Also I've switched to Krita for digital painting lately, and actually like it more than PS.
If I temporarily bring an upstream application down for upgrade I want nginx to retry the next upstream. This is a very common scenario when doing reverse proxying. Disabling next upstream breaks this.

The discussion is not about "Israeli government practices" but about protecting from rocket artillery in a part of the world where most everyone, except Israel, routinely use artillery with civilians as primary targets.
Thank you for the summary!
Israel is a US client state. Like Saudi Arabia. Obviously useful if you want control over the world's energy markets, a basis of all economies. (There's some other reasons too; like the US linked it into its high-tech industry.)

Regarding billions though, the US has all the wealth it could ever want. It simply wastes most of it. Everyone could easily have a 15 hour workweek or whatever. The phenomenon of unemployment could be considered a decadent joke (where idle hands can't find work though they're looking for it, and there's much to do).
Good point, thanks for the correction.
Why not both? :) Dropbox has an enormous amount of infrastructure in Go, but some of their most performance-sensitive software is in Rust. There's no need to dedicate yourself to a monoculture.

Oculus VR founder: We'll support Mac 'if Apple ever releases a good computer'
Great point—the context of both roles in a partnership is important to the discussion. Having said that, what about single parents who now must do "both" jobs? Women are at a systematic disadvantage in this scenario.

Bottom line for me is that women are doing more unpaid work than men in all cultures. Melinda Gates talks about this at length in their recent letters for 2016[1], and it's a pretty damning picture that whatever the pressures are on men, women have it systematically worse.

There is nothing about cleaning, or laundry, or sick care, or <other thing women are expected to do because they're women> that makes them not like doing unpaid work anymore than men. Nobody likes doing thankless work, and everybody likes getting paid to do work (and enjoy the freedoms that having money permits). This distribution of work is bullshit, especially in this day and age of increased automation where wages based on dual earners is the norm if you want a middle class existence and are average.

The word "foist" does imply coercion to do something that is against the target's will or interest. Would you be equally okay with the statement being replaced with "self-sacrificial status climbing is more often foisted upon men in our society"? Add to that the common narrative* that men are in charge in our society and therefore social pressure is essentially equivalent to pressure exerted by men, and you quickly get a statement that amounts to "[the problems we observe] are caused by men forcing women to care for family members".

* Even if you don't actually subscribe to this position yourself, it's unfortunately in the nature of debate on a politicised topic like this that the moment you take a position associated with one of the standard camps ("the American Left" or "the Blue Tribe" here, I guess), people will assume that you also hold other opinions typical of that camp. Certainly, "men hold the power in American society" is one of those typical opinions.

What is interesting is the breakdown of motivations between men and women. It seems readily apparent that women on the whole prefer flexible work arrangements because of child raising obligations. This is exactly the same argument lobbed across the wage gap discussion for years now. Proponents of the wage-gap point that women have an unfair obligation to child-raising duties, which puts them at a disadvantage when compared to their male peers.

From my graduating class, going into the same company, men earned more money. I know first hand that earned 10k more than a female classmate going into the exact same job title with the same expectations.
I chose my language specifically. Single women are more often family caregivers than are single men.
They can find any subjective reason they like and claim that's the reason for letting you go.

Oh, believe me, I know. I was dismissed from my last job for having the temerity to take a leave of absence — negotiated in advance with the company, with C-staff level approval — to travel for a few months. When I returned, they presented me with a materially altered performance review (fact-checked with the manager who actually wrote the review), filled with straight-up lies, and said that was why they were firing me.

If you dare to decide the life your job pays for is more important than the job itself, well, there's the door...
I believe you were down voted because you disagreed with the generally believed idea of "the funnel for women" and the generally believed idea of "flex schedules increase productivity" without providing any evidence.

I would point out that most people supporting both those ideas in this thread don't seem to be providing evidence either.

Everybody, I'm pretty sure the down vote is used to bury threads that don't add to the discussion. I think "shawn-butter"'s side deserves to be discussed.
Unequal Pay: The Worst and Best Cities for Women in Tech
Study links mobile device addiction to depression and anxiety
Since people seem to think this is an easy set of points to win, consider:

* Apple has virtually no ability to shape policy in China (at least, in comparison to western democracies)
* China (the government, not the people) is not subject to the same limitations as the US government
* Apple depends on China for a great deal of things, including manufacturing, and a market for products
* If Apple can't manufacture and market it's products in China, it's products become more expensive and less available all over the world.
* China passed laws and regulations that demand access to source code

Apple choosing to fight this battle is undoubtedly motivated by the potential business impact of supplying the software that the US government has demanded, and there is no doubt in my mind that if it was a better long term move for Apple, then it's leadership team would concede, and ship the code they were asked for (see: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2472002/endpoint-securi... among other instances).

Apple is using the polarizing nature of the technical details at hand in light of modern concerns about the surveillance state to frame it's argument against what would be a very bad legal precedent that would be disastrous for Apple, and for the tech sector in general.

I don't quite understand where your perceived lack of consistency is - are you implying that Apple didn't try to use every tool at it's disposal to do the best thing for it's investors?
Do Buzz News Publishers Need a New Content Strategy?
I think the point he was trying to make still holds without such absurd multipliers as "doubling", it's just an intuitively easy to grasp multiplier. What he's saying is that increasing your number of hours may get more absolute work done, but proportionally a person accomplishes less as more hours are worked. Thus, the correlation between time in office (hours) and productivity (work accomplished per unit time) is a negative correlation.

New Teflon Toxin Causes Cancer in Lab Animals
I'm glad you've clarified that statement "Wage disparity is caused by gender roles, not by discrimination" is incomplete, and that you accept that historical wage disparity included discrimination on the basis of sex.

However, your response is less than complete. What is "modern day"?

For example, "DU Law School is violating Equal Pay Act"/"The University of Denver is violating federal law by paying female law professors less than their male counterparts, according to the [EEOC]" (2015) - http://legacy.9news.com/story/news/education/2015/08/31/equa...

Why is "trend" relevant? Your clarified statement is that modern wage disparity is not due to discrimination. That means that even a handful of counter-examples would suffice to show that that statement is incorrect. Adding the term "trend" feels very much like you are moving the goalposts.
TensorFlow, open sourced by Google, would allow you to implement the latest in voice recognition research relatively quickly. Recently they released TensorFlow Serving which lets you run your tensorflow models on the cloud.
This study adds a little more color than the Dice study (which has been reposted from multiple sources at least 3 times now).

If you adjust for the same basic factors as the Dice study but also factor in location and some cost of living factors, it matters quite a bit where you are geographically when comparing tech salaries.

But never thought I'd see a study that ranked it better to be in tech in Detroit than in SF, so either this is very interesting or also flawed in some key ways.

It's also potentially faster and more efficient than goroutines, because it packs the state to be shared on context switches into what is typically a very tight structure instead of saving the entire stack.

I'm sure you already know this, but for anyone new to design in concurrency backends, not only does async/await (CPS) have the potential to really trounce goroutine-style concurrency in modern systems, but if you have a really smart compiler and some OS support, it can really fly.
