The sooner you act, the better. I am a woman and I worked for a Fortune 500 company and the very first time a specific man said something to me that I felt was beyond the pale, I emailed him and copied our two bosses that he was never to speak to me that way again. I got interviewed by HR and explained the back story and my reasoning. My impression is he got sent to sensitivity training.

Please do not wait any longer. Address this ASAP. Doing nothing just grows the problem and the longer it goes on, the harder it will be to resolve. Any time you run into something like this, you should address it sooner rather than later. Prejudice based problems do not begin with violence. They begin with disrespect. The longer the disrespect goes unchecked, the more likely something really ugly will come of it. The sooner you act, the more likely it is you can stop it.
I'm not going to convince anyone of anything on HackerNews. I'm up against the entire California Ideology on this forum. Every time you guys go to a conference or talk with a coworker or your boss this philosophy is being reinforced. I can't do shit but sit here and throw darts. It's really the only effective course of action. Sorry if it stings a little. If you actually are interested, I've previously said everything I ever need to say about these issues and if you read those two books you'll immediately understand what I'm talking about. It's just too much work to school someone on a fucking internet forum. I'm done. I don't have the patience.

This is the exact opposite of preaching to the choir. Most people on these forums have been leading successful lives by toeing the party line in the tech industry. You all already think you know everything worth knowing and that the Internet has made the pre-networked world completely irrelevant. It is such a strongly reinforced ideology paired with addictions to touch screen devices that control your thoughts and actions so completely you can't seem to notice how ignorant and arrogant you've all become.

I'm here to just plain tell you that you're wrong. I don't have the resources to roll back the brainwashing of 100,000 techies. I can't sit here and be your personal psychologists and hold your hands while I explain the fundamentals of intellectual property in a market economy. I'm up against 25 years of raging idiots screaming about the RIAA and the MPAA. I know this ideology well because I used to be a true believer. I figured out this was bullshit on my own, just by leading life, learning about love, and finding myself a real community, not some digital hideout for run-away teenagers like HackerNews and Reddit. Again, I used to be that, I used to be that kid sitting at home in small town American feeling really left out and finding a group of other rejects on IRC and Slashdot and the open source "community".

So you just keep on thinking that "The Internet has changed everything!" and keep on ignorantly disrupting the entire known universe with your hair-brained schemes, and I'll sit here on the sidelines and call you all a bunch of jackasses, how's that?

Also, I'm trying to get dang's attention because I really want to have a serious sit down talk with the dude in person but I've probably scared him away by cursing like a sailor and talking about hanging out with rednecks in a honky tonks bar. If I make a stink he normally shows up. So dang, buddy, let's get coffee in San Francisco sometime soon. I promise to be polite.

Everyone, go listen to some Merle Haggard and actually try and listen instead of just talk talk talk talk talking the fuck all the time on your dumb ass devices.

the most egregious i'm aware of is when they removed fredrick brennan, the developer behind 8chan from their platform. brennan has osteogenesis imperfecta and had set up his patreon to help pay for a nurse/healthcare (and to get a cat) at the request of his userbase, myself included.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1bV0NBeG8E

it is worth restating that this patreon was not connected to the development of 8chan at all, but for the support of a disabled individual in need of assistance. patreon decided that this individual was worthy of complete censure from their funding platform.

in my experience, most crowdfunding/e-busking platforms engage in a degree of censorship of one form or another. if the right people don't like you, they will find any number of reasons in their vague CoC to keep you out.

Open-sourcing ReDex: Making Android apps smaller and faster
To answer your question directly:

Both Arq and Time Machine create differential backups. Thus, any particular backup can be restored back in time. However, Arq targets non-file-based media (although you could trick it by a little SSH magic). Time Machine requires file-based access.

If ransomeware finds your file-based backup, it will encrypt it and render your backup useless.

The term backup gets bandied about, so it can mean one or more of the following: high-availability, synchronization, and/or disaster recovery. You'll want to look into these and the concept of the 3-2-1 method.

I'd really love to see an API or a unified configuration system. At $WORK we have a need for many small firewall appliances, but I refuse to use anything we can't deploy zero-touch, automate, monitor and back up/restore in a semi-sane way.

Either it needs a configuration language like Cisco/Juniper than can be dumped/imported/configured over SSH, or a web API (supposedly on the roadmap for pfsense 3.0 ... ?). I can't say I'm too familiar with the project, but it feels like it's just not a priority and that it's is going to remain very web UI focussed.

The prize for the DOJ in this settlement was an admission of wrongdoing. Theoretically this opens Goldman Sachs up to a lot more lawsuits and damages from private investors that were screwed when Goldman Sachs knowingly sold them mortgage bundles that were doomed to fail.

That said, I'm really surprised the stock hasn't taken more of a hit from this case.

The only thing that's expensive about R&D is the people. The materials, and the ideas are nearly free.
It was originally a content marketing experiment. We thought we'd rather have 100 people receive a free printed copy of the book and love us for this, than a 1000 people receive ebooks and end up in their trash.

The ROI from the 100 trial worked well, so we decided to try and scale it out to more people. TBD whether we'll see a good ROI from 1000 people, but we hope people enjoy it and like us for sending them a free book!
That's true in the abstract, but the big picture is that we're trying to avoid a much larger disaster with climate change. If wind+solar could fill the world's energy needs now, that is what we would be doing. But that is far, far off into the future, if it's possible at all.

Burning coal is causing damage to the environment now, killing people from air pollution now, and potentially driving us towards climate change that will kill and displace many millions of people. Nuclear has its downsides but it is not going to raise sea level by 2 or 3 feet in the next century nor cause widespread disruptions in crop growing, or cause devastating extreme weather.

A nuclear accident could result in an exclusion zone of a 2 or 3 dozen miles. Climate change could cause global consequences that would be irreversible with our current technology.
I think the parent was thinking about the storage issue. The fact that spent nuclear fuel needs to be maintained for 100s-1000s of years.
How expensive is air pollution?

You can't tacitly accept the costs of our current means of power while criticizing the costs of nuclear. We need to make this decision explicitly, not implicitly.

When you ask about the costs of nuclear power are you also considering the costs of not using nuclear power? [delays timeline for 100% renewable energy which has climate costs, causes air pollution separate from that which is killing millions annually, etc]

Uber is building a self-driving car research center in Pittsburgh. They hired most of the CMU self-driving car people. Supposedly they're going to renovate a railroad roundhouse in Hazelwood and use some of the empty space from the old coke plant for road testing. How's that working out?

In California, anything you do on your own time belongs to you, and the previous employer can't enforce most non-compete agreements. So you can leave and do a startup even if your old employer doesn't like it. That's an edge Silicon Valley has and no other state has had the guts to copy.

I do not understand the prevailing opinions in this thread and I must confess that, even though I disagree respectfully with LambdaConf's choices (respectfully as in, hey, it's their conference and I can even understand their reasoning), seeing the uncertainty and the doubt and the bullying and the lack of empathy for the less fortunate, this is the first time I'm ashamed of being a software developer.

For those with doubts, here's one of his posts that is racist by definition: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ro/2009/07/why-carl...

And given his now infamous Medium post, given that it can be hard to parse English, here's a review of the book that he's recommending in support of his racist views: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/...

I personally don't understand how anybody can claim that his views aren't racist in the most profound hate-inducing ways, and for every such assertion it feels like a spit in the face at least of those that have had grandfathers surviving WWII, let alone the minorities amongst us that fear not for their job, but for their personal safety.

But keep thinking that hate speech is just political opinion that needs to be protected. And keep demeaning and silencing those that ring alarms, as if "SJWs" are amongst your biggest problems. Yeah, that worked out well in the past.
Pretty fair point, I can totally see where you're coming from. Music does have a traditionally steep 'learning curve' and it does take focused practice - for good or ill, I do see modern tech and tools being a great short-cut though for a dedicated youngster with enough time on their hands. You're spot on about the number of distractions, that affects even adults who might be working in the industry. Focus is important.

Also, we should keep in mind that there was a ton of silly, throw-away, bubble-gum music during the 60s and 70s. Basically my contention is that the good stuff will, inherently, stand the test of time. Maybe because of, or in spite of, the river of crap surrounding it haha.
Im convinced that the next valley will happen in the place that can attract the most unmarried people ages 18 through 30. What do these people care about?

- night life

- high density urban living

- progressive local governments and freedom (drug and marriage decriminalization).

- good public transportation

- access to high speed internet

- good universities

As they grow older and get married, affordable and high speed public transportation will allow them to move without causing terminal urban sprawl.

A winning poker player only needs a tiny edge to be long-term profitable. Yet there will be swings in his bank account, no matter how good his play; there is even a real chance of bankruptcy in his lifetime.

The question I would then ask to the author: is science (in its current form) a winning, long-term player?

That is, let's grant that most of science is wrong (i.e., not replicable). Let's grant that entire paradigms -- which are objectively better than their successors -- can be wiped out by garbage fads and the fraudsters that perpetuate them. Let's even grant that it's possible for scientific understanding to net regress over the course a lifetime.

The interesting question to me is whether the human practice of science (inclusive of its politics and fraudsters) is still on a long-term, upward trajectory towards truth (not strictly monotonic, but upwards as n goes to infinity). Even after reading horrifying accounts of how bad science is in 2016, I would still be shocked if the answer to this question was no.

That was Rick Santelli and the 'rant of the year'. He is credited as one of the instigators of the Tea Party movement. Incidentally, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show had some choice words for Mr. Santelli.
I'm a CMU undergraduate who moved to San Francisco.

Every year, the School of Computer Science publishes a survey of where undergrads go after college: https://www.cmu.edu/career/salaries-and-destinations/2015-su... [pdf]

About half of the 2015 graduates go to employment in the West/CA.

I'll add that I am not even a graduate in CS (I majored in Business), yet I know a lot of non-CS majors my year who have also moved out here.

California is where the prestigious jobs are. And that's what matters at the end. Is Pittsburgh capable of supporting a Silicon Valley? Not as long as Pittsburgh's weather remains the way it is, anyways.
Their data leads me to conclude no. They say: "Articles written by women got more blocked (ie abusive or disruptive) comments across almost all sections. But the more male-dominated the section, the more blocked comments the women who wrote there got (look at Sport and Technology). Fashion, where most articles were written by women, was one of the few sections where male authors consistently received more blocked comments."

Somewhat unrelated, but a lot of people complain about Boston being too expensive, like SF or NYC, but honestly you can live downtown inexpensively if you live in Chinatown, or within subway distance if you live in Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, or Roxbury, which become cheaper (and less safe) in that order. You don't need to live in Cambridge / Somerville / Back Bay / Seaport.

If you are seriously considering moving to Pittsburgh or someplace similar because of cost, look at Boston, which is way closer culturally to Silicon Valley than any second tier tech city, and don't focus on living in the prime locations.

Waste management is certainly a problem. The pebble bed reactor produces waste that, while more voluminous than traditional reactors, contains the same radioactivity, but this does mean the waste is less hazardous and simpler to handle. It's also much more difficult to re-use pebble bed reactor waste for nuclear weapons as compared to other reactors. And there are other reactors that have a closed fuel cycle, meaning their waste can be reprocessed, though the reprocessing does itself end up with some amount of nuclear waste that has to be disposed of.

All that said, it's not like the waste from fossil fuel power plants is particularly safe either, it just has a different effect than nuclear waste, such as causing global warming.
I am not, and honestly i dont care. He made a visual image at how bad it might be to live in a place like this and made me feel really sad for him. His story is probably just bullshit but there are people who have to live with the exact same fears and thoughts.

Ask HN: Will we hate chat bots like we hate automated phone systems?
I can't help but think in a few months to a year; we'll come to hate chat bots like most of us hate automated phone systems. Most people know, if you want to get somewhere in a phone system tree, just press 0 for a customer service rep. It's often easier to speak to a live human then to deal with pre-programmed prompts.

Isn't this why we have apps? Apps were to make it easier to buy stuff or get help. Purpose built, screen size optimized, places to go to get something done. I feel opening a chat app, finding the right bot to chat with, figuring out the right command, typing it, etc... is gonna take much longer then just going into an app, finding what I wanted anyways and clicking order.

In the Amazon app (for example) After searching for what I want - it's 1 touch on the product and 1 touch to Buy Now. How can a chat bot possibly be quicker then that? This of course is just 1 example, but is the most likely use IMO (and 1 demoed on the stage of F8 with 1800 flowers)
>> If global warming gets to a point where sea level rises 2 or 3 feet.

You talk like this is going to happen overnight. It won't and this is not how it works. Even in the recent articles, sea level rises in MILLIMETERS, not FEET:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/20...

"Seas rose about 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) from 1900 to 2000, the new study suggests, for a rate of 1.4 millimeters per year. The current rate, according to NASA, is 3.4 millimeters per year, suggesting that sea level rise is still accelerating."

If you do the math, there's approximately 300mm in a foot. If you think its going to raise even conservatively another 2 feet, it would take close to 175 years for sea level to rise 2 feet. Not sure how old you are, but you, your kids, and your kids kids will never see the sea levels rise 2 feet. And in the event it does happen, I would hope that humanity had either solved climate change or found a suitable alternative on another planet by then.

You can --- you use a thing called a magsail.

The short version is: remember the old Bussard ramscoop idea? You use a magnetic field to collect interstellar hydrogen which you then fuse for thrust? Turns out that in our part of the galaxy, you get more drag from the sail than you do from the fusion thrust, so the idea was scrapped.

An embarrassingly long time later people finally realised that they'd invented a fuelless brake, and the idea was resurrected (but without the fusion drive). The maths are quite plausible and the sail itself trivially simple --- just a wire loop.

http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=22138

However, I don't think they'd be compatible with this idea --- I suspect you wouldn't get one big enough to be useful in a one gram package. But estimating the numbers is beyond me. Here's the paper if you want it. http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/final_report/320Zubri...

Well, and time. I imagine it would take 3 to 5 years to start poaching and recruiting new, top faculty. These top faculty in turn have to recruit top PhD students and assemble research labs, which is going to take time as the school is not yet mentioned among the top 10-20 programs. Tack a few more years on for enough publications to hit top venues. This is probably at least a decade to hit the level of, say, USC, let alone crack the top 10 or even top 3 occupied by the likes of a CMU or a Stanford or a Berkeley.
