"the economy" predates human history. The ones who fight the best for resources gets them. We have only recently become more civilized where we don't have to literally fight for resources. But as long as there is human desire for status over other humans, there will be haves and have nots.
Which is why the person you replied to would most likely advocate for eliminating parental leave entirely, and I agree.

No matter how you slice it, government mandated leave that doesn't apply to every single person equally will lead to discrimination. If you mandate maternity leave then companies will prefer young men to young women, and if you mandate paternity leave then companies will prefer the old to the young.

Parental leave is detrimental for every person that has it, but doesn't want it. If you're of child bearing age you're a huge risk to your employer if your resume doesn't come with a sterility test stapled to it.

Maybe bridge is different, but the games I've been serious about (Scrabble and poker) both rewarded a significant amount of focused study and memorization.

This interesting! Never thought of it this way. Is there any kind of research showing that electric power to run the servers and hardware (which gets old and must be replaced) has a lower impact than boxes and vhs tapes?
Much of those funds come with stipulations on how they must be spent; namely, on military hardware from US Defense manufacturers. So the aid ends up back in the US ultimately and effectively acts as a subsidy to the Defense industry.

As the father of a 10 week old baby girl, it isn't as simple as just society enabling parents to contribute equally.

I am SO into being a dad. I want to do as much caregiving as possible. However, breastfeeding kinda throws a monkey wrench into the "split all the work equally" plan. For newborns, eating is what they do most of the time (when they aren't sleeping). If you breastfeed your child, which all pediatricians say is the best for them, I can't do the most time consuming part of the job. Now, we get around this some of the time by pumping and bottle feeding breast milk, but you can't do that all the time, and even then the mom has to pump as much as you feed in order to keep up her milk supply.

This means mom is going to be the primary care giver for an infant. While this could change once the kid starts eating solid food, by then the pattern is going to be established.

I am not saying we shouldn't work to make it more equal, but it isn't as simple as you make it out to be.

Ugh. This doesn't show the benefits of a baseline grid, but of good interline spacing (leading in print typography jargon). Baseline grids are used in print for multicolumn layout, so you don't get lines that are vertically offset from their neighbours in nearby columns.

Blank-line typography is a big problem with baseline grids. A full line-height gap between paragraphs is disasterous for vertical rhythm. Any paragraph spacing is suspicious (there are purists, of which I'm not one, Jan Tschischold particularly was scathing), but if you have, say 16/24 spacing then add a blank line between paragraphs, you're losing any kind of coherence, I think. For that reason baseline grids are either set with indented-paragraph markings (normal in print) or set with rather close leading to keep paragraphs from getting lost.

So a bit of a weird post, I didn't find it clear, typographically beautiful, or giving good advice.
There was a really interesting paper in Phys. Rev. X a couple of years ago that discussed the use of quantum entanglement to create an optimal bridge bidding strategy [1]. Interestingly, since it is generally accepted that entanglement cannot be used to transfer information, this appears to be within the rules.

For me it's just not worth it to create an account for 7 sessions. And paying is not an option either, after using it quite successfully for 1-2 weeks I am still not convinced to drop 7$ a month on it. As a college student that is a lot of money. With those 7 sessions it is not possible to estimate whether the app can actually create a lot of different sounds or not. With intense focus I have been through all of them I think and it was like 10-15 30 minute sessions. Nothing to spend money on.

Yes. And the sanctions were just one part of all bad things that happened in the area. Also see my other comments here for more on the same subject (like what Madeleine Albright had to say about these dead children). And the "WMD story" was effectively invented as an excuse for the US to start the 2003 war. The war was planned even before G.W. became president (search about the "Project for the New American Century" or the goals of Saudi Arabia after 1991, who really wanted Saddam away but just didn't like the full war by the US). There was also no al-Qaeda in Iraq there then: only the effects of 2003 war brought them in. The 9/11 attackers were mostly Saudis (15 from 19), and only the US officials' propaganda made "assumed" connections with Saddam. And the UK even faked the report about WMD by doing a copy paste of the 13-years old work of some Californian student they have found on the Internet(!) Bush actually already wanted to attack Iraq right after 9/11, even before the propaganda started, according to the people who worked with him at the time, and Tony Blair jumped where Bush wanted. Anyway, the war was portrayed as the way to "bring the democracy" to Iraq. Back to the dam, the US effectively took the responsibility for the area since 2003, but they also haven't done anything to finish the second dam, which was cancelled earlier because of the sanctions. The US "aid" for the dam was $25m, a fourth of the price of just one F-35. And before the war, the "opportunity" for development was promoted as "using the profit of Iraqi oil to rebuild the infrastructure".

In summary, Spotify was working on integrating their latest desktop versions into Linux, and then just stopped about 6 months ago. Then yesterday, they pushed it live anyway and revealed that no one is working on Linux, but maybe someday they'll get around to it.

"The intention was to fix a few of the bigger issues and then quickly move this to stable. That never happened, since after September, we have had no developers working on the linux client. There are still lots of problem with this version of the client for linux, but we are now seeing much more problems with the old client."

It's not just tech sites, though, which is what I'm getting at. Major politicians and newspapers constantly go on at great lengths about alleged gender problems in tech. Do they talk nearly as much about, say, the imbalance towards women in education? I'm going to assert that they do not.
The only thing holding me back is the lack of an integrated terminal. This is absolutely essential to my *nix workflow and I can't for the life of me imagine a reason to not include it. Otherwise, I love what I'm seeing here.
I think people get frustrated by salaries of others because people don't feel like they have power to contribute to the decision making process of how much any specific role should make.

DemocracyAtWork [1] is an organization that helps companies with the legal process of collectivizing and democratizing companies. A great way to fix the taboo of sharing salaries while simultaneously equalizing gender and other identity related pay/power disparities would be to democratize the workplace business decisions.

> I wish Rust team invested more into tooling

Among similarly new language, I think the strength of the tooling is one of the notable positives of Rust.

> and maybe introduced officially supported IDE

While I get that some programmers prefer IDEs and that IDEs might actually be generally preferable for some Rust use cases, I think there is a lot more utility in the Rust team focusing on lower-level tooling (which IDE and enhanced-editor-plugin developers can leverage) rather than focusing on an officially supported IDE.

My current least-favorite parts of the google style guide are 'don't overload operator< and std::hash, but keep them as free functions and use the other ctors for set/unordered_set/etc', because I'm thinking if you're going to have to write those things anyway, you might as well do it in a way to make the api easier.
I'm not sure Javas is a bood benchmark to compare a young language against when it comes to IDE support...

That said, in my brief experience with rust I got the impression that their tooling is very high quality for something so new. Have you seen how pretty their compiler error messages are, for example?
Should also have a look at http://stackage.org (quite similar but in Haskell, yet curated -- a "try to compile all" feature also exists IIRC).

Not sure how much this is used in order to test impact language changes.
Ask HN: How can a back-end engineer find a front-end engineer to collaborate?
Hey HN,

I'm a back-end engineer (Ruby, Rails, Node.js). I have enough skills to get by on the front-end, but my UI/UX skills are just average.

I make use of good tools and open source stuff like Bootstrap and other front-end libraries/frameworks, but I'm afraid my project won't succeed with my mediocre front-end skills.

How can I find (as an engineer, not an idea guy) a front-ender to work on my project with me and split ownership? I have high hopes for this project and ideally could bootstrap and see where it goes. It's a SaaS web app that doesn't have many technical challenges or barriers, in a niche space where this market hasn't been targeted.
> What if it's a natural preference given

It is known that women tend to be more emotional than men for instance. As such, they do well in nurturing roles like you described. I'm not saying that men can't do them, it's just that more women feel "at home" doing that kind of work.
This site is similar to other polling sites such as Straw Poll. However, in addition to making simple polls it also gives you the ability to do the following:

•	Filter results by time (see which options are “hot” now)

•	Let users enter their own options

•	Let users cast a new vote after a certain period of time

•	Create an account to keep track of your polls (optional)

These features allow you to create polls for open-ended questions. It also gives you the ability to create a poll that never ends. For example, say you have a YouTube gaming channel and want to get feedback from your audience every day on what game they want to see you play. You can ask the following open ended question:

https://www.youmatchup.com/matchup/1848/

To create this poll you only have to type in the question, allow users to vote once every day and enable user options. This gives your audience the ability to enter in their own options or vote on the options others have added. It also lets them come back every day to cast a new vote. Then, you can filter results by past day to see what game is currently trending.

With this setup you would never need to create another poll for this question. The new votes would flow in to the options that are popular now, old votes would be filtered out and old options can be deleted.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. I would be happy to answer them!

A "wrong hill" example in our industry (recruitment software) is a focus on getting as many as possible candidates to find and apply for jobs.

If I sell widgets, then yes, I want as many as possible people to come and buy them, and I really only care about the colour of their money.

However when as a widget company I am advertising jobs, I really want only qualified candidates to apply. Otherwise I am drowning in people I just need to sort through, and reject - and when I reject them, they may stop buying my widgets.

In this situation, bounce rates (e.g. people leaving the site after viewing a job) and a lot of other common metrics are meaningless without far more context.

I don't think that addresses the problem though. What happens when we see gender imbalances in a post-labor society?

What if we see basket weaving dominated by women and ham baking dominated by men? Is it free choice? Genetics? Physiological? Cultural?

What about the indirect imbalances resulting from the choice of work, like one role creating a reusable tool and one creating a consumable resource?

The whole "old installer" and "bootable disk" has been a pain-point since 10.8 for me. I have done 4 or 5 clean installs for friends in the last 6 months, and I tried to make a 10.10 or 10.11 bootable USB... no go - each time, a new issue.

I have ended up every time using my older 10.8 (ML) install USB every time, then just firing off the free App Store upgrade to 10.11.
"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 disagree. The primary cause is that women can become pregnant - the possibility alone is in most cases enough - in which case they leave the work force for X amount of time. Depending on country, laws, and personal preferences this time period can range from a few weeks to years. In some countries when this hypothetical becomes a reality it can have a large negative impact on the employer. For instance, in Germany the woman's job position must be held open for her until she decides to return to work (possibly years later), not to mention the full salary compensation months before and after giving-birth, when she is no longer working.

But to simplify it down to flatland, lets assume a woman were to just take 1 day off before giving birth, have a job that required no movement or lifting, and the employer didn't have to compensate her. Still, in this simplest case, a woman is at a disadvantage compared to a man.

Because of this biological disadvantage, I think there will never be the sort of absolute equality we want until people are born in tubes or the capitalistic employer/employee relationship changes.
Displaced American STEM workers spur Senate hearing
I disagreed with the statement 'Wage disparity is caused by gender roles, not by discrimination'.

It's clear from history, as my example of Lilly Ledbetter, that Wage disparity is also caused by discrimination.

I don't see the need for "counter-examples and the counter-explanation" when documents like http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/4-28-11a.cfm ("Gender-Based Wage Gap Persists, Experts Agree at EEOC Forum" (2011)) say things like:

> Gender-based wage discrimination remains a problem today and a percentage of the wage discrepancy cannot be explained by non-discriminatory factors, said government and private experts ...

Two possible objections are that 2011 isn't modern enough, and that the EEOC cannot be believed. Without knowing what is considered valid evidence, I don't see the need to dig up examples when they can be dismissed with a one line response.
