"Action movies for example are incredibly male dominated and also very popular, until the general public is OK with seeing women getting beaten, killed and abused I don't see this ever changing."

Angelina Jolie has made several action movies where she gets banged up quite a bit. (Salt was originally designed for Tom Cruise; Jolie was a big improvement.) So has Scarlett Johansson (who, as Black Widow, ought to have an origin movie but isn't getting one.) Sigourney Weaver also had some tough times in her action movies. All of those were successful films.

Should the legal minimum be close to the highest potential cost? You can cause massive damage if you hit a luxury car, or are involved in a multi-vehicle accident. Should you be forced to carry insurance that would cover these scenarios? That would drive up the premium of the legally required insurance, and likely increase the number of uninsured motorists. Considering most accidents result in rather small payouts, there must be a cost-benefit analysis done to determine the legally required minimum.
I am seeing this response to many/all of the wealth disparity articles. I personally don't think this idea is properly analysed. I think people should rally for extension of basic services as human rights. Internet, electricity, food etc instead of a cheque at end of the month from the state. That seems more sustainable and works out as common infrastructure. Like roads for e.g. That will alleviate lives of many and will provide security, without creating any access and mismanagement in the system
Wealth is generated by the employees. The founders channel that wealth to them.

The challenge with being a founder is to find the right business plan at the moment then hire and maintain the right team to achieve it. It's a challenge indeed but this challenge does not deserve nor does it morally justify taking most of the wealth generated by the employees away from them.
I really like this project for the aesthetics of the old switchboard. And the guy's blog has many pretty pictures.

What I find funny, though, is his astonishment on the huge amount of wiring, e.g. he writes...

“There’s a bit of a mystery here. Conceptually, you’d assume this is very simple: it’s a switch with a neutral state and two other possible states. You could easily represent this with only 3 pins. And yet there are two separate physical mechanisms, one for each direction.”

What seems to be hard to fathom for people growing up with today's tech where every single button we press is connected to a small microcontroller with more computing power than what was available on the whole planet in 1920: there is no second level of logic, except maybe one of two relays. And the only reasonable way to build the required functionality, in these days, was to add a few additional cogs, springs, beams, ... in each switch. And route 10 additional wires to it!

Having a whole rack of relays just to save on complexity to use simpler switches would have been completely absurd then. Nowadays, in contrast, we like to keep mechanical and wiring simple. And just complement it with software to implement the details.
The saddest thing not said is that we live in a society where we need to have professionals paid to care because most of are too unavailable to just care because... uhm... you know... we are all f human beings!

Good question!

"Pay-as-you-go" is definitely open to interpretation, and whether we offer billing on a per-job, monthly, yearly, or contractual basis is still something that we're discussing. In the end, we're probably going to go with a mixture of these options, though right now our primary focus is on building a good product.

Most engineering software is already licensed on an annual basis, so recurring billing is definitely quite standard within engineering software tools.
This reads to me as an overreaction.
Sure, it's important to be vigilant about the permissions you give apps, but it's also important to understand the underlying OS and permission layers.

TLDR: If you're concerned about your privacy, upgrade to Android 6.0

There's nothing wrong with Wikipedia letting you manage your Wikipedia account using the app.
They're using the Account Manager API, which is the right way to approach account management on android.
Prior to android 6.0, they need the GET_ACCOUNTS permission to use the account manager.

Wikipedia's FAQ explains:
Note: The app does not store your Wikipedia login credentials on the device, and it does not access any non-Wikipedia accounts on your device, nor any other aspects of your identity.
Note: This permission is only required in Android versions earlier than 6.0 (Marshmallow). For Android 6.0 and above, this permission is not required.

GET_ACCOUNTS is a dangerous permission. That's why google changed the behavior in android 6.0 by:
1. Allowing users to decline specific permissions to apps, instead of the "accept all or none" approach in lollipop and bellow.
2. Allowing apps to manage the account they own without requesting GET_ACCOUNTS.

The Android docs explain this as well:
Note: Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), if an app shares the signature of the authenticator that manages an account, it does not need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about that account. On Android 5.1 and lower, all apps need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about any account.

Bottom line is: if you're concerned about app permissions (as you should be) - you should be running Android 6.
Wikipedia won't ask you for GET_ACCOUNTS, and you'll be able to manually control permissions other apps receive as well.
Every time I see someone mention react and other frameworks are bad for SEO, I cant help but think, shouldn't search engines have to worry about this.

Google and other search engines have brilliant people working for them who can create systems which can guess what I want to search before I have entered the entire query, and you are telling me these same people can't do something about pages using the latest technology. Sigh.

That usually means buying a new phone.
The Enterprise world will continue to read their PDFs using Adobe remote management software independent of what OpenBSD does, the rest of the world is there already (browser PDF readers).
Bottom line is, you don't. A modern society can bear the small burden this tiny slice of humanity represents; it's just immoral ones that decide they don't want to.

If you're determined that there must be consequences for individuals abusing their - then prioritize the weak after you've dealt with the corruption of rich, powerful individuals, whose cost to society is far greater.

Of course, the weakest are utterly powerless to prevent YOU from trying to ensure they suffer whatever meets your desire for "consequences", while there's little YOU can do about the truly powerful. This is why so many prefer to turn a blind eye to abuse of power, and focus instead on letting the powerless suffer. It doesn't make anybody's life better in the slightest. But some people seem to take comfort in it.
I'm not sure the adage applies here. When using a coupon you get up to 100% more than you paid for, assuming you're using the not at all rare buy one get one free ones.

From what I've seen, most developers understand "the client's sent data cannot be trusted", but they fail to understand how much it entails. It's not merely the forms they send, it's all of it, cookies, user agents, internal tokens that pass through Javascript, whatever. If the client touched it, it's compromised!

It seems to be pretty good at map, filter, any, all, reversed, reduce, zip, list comprehensions, dict comprehensions, lambdas, and closures.

Granted, it would be unusual to see all, or even most, of those in one place, but they see use enough that calling python bad a functional programming is a little odd. I'd say it's pretty good at functional work in the small while somewhat ill suited in the large.
I am sure there are certain media that cater primarily to women. For example, at least in my country, there is a whole genre of romantic novels about physicians.

The main point is that it is not a problem if some product category caters primarily to a specific demographic. What would be an issue would be a significant part of the population being neglected. However, there is no reason why that shouldn't be fixable by the market alone.

I can think of several TV series that cater specifically to women, with lots of women talking.

How can we be sure that the 2000 movies the article talks about randomly selected movies, not movies cherry picked to show the desired result?

Even if we pick random scripts that are available online, there might be an inherent bias? For example, maybe older scripts (from the 50ies) are more likely to be online?
I'm also not a fan of Basic income being used as a catch-all answer and I'm not a fan of BI, as it's described in a lot of recently popular future looking leftists camps.

But I am a proponent of BI generally. If we want post earnings wealth distributions (I don't think we can have our modern system of economy and governance without it), direct & simple redistribution is the best answer. Centralised provision of food is a terrible idea. It would destroy the economy of food production. Why do this? How is it better economically, more just or more effective to give people food or food stamps than it is to give them money to buy food?
I love it when people actually provide data rather than merely working based on "gut feelings"! I have a few questions jump out at me as potentially affecting the reliability of the analysis and conclusions, though:

1. Since the mapping from lines to gender goes through the actor/actress involved, it seems that "trouser roles" (particularly in animated features) may skew the statistics. I don't know if the effect is large enough to matter, though.

2. The analysis seems to be conducted on the basis of "lines" rather than "words". Does this skew the results? I wouldn't be surprised if predominantly-male "action" scenes had fewer words per line (or, put another way, more lines per word) than other scenes.

3. The analysis of actor/actress ages aggregates screenplays over all years of publication. This makes it impossible to distinguish between a bias towards young actresses and a bias towards actresses born after a particular date. This is a very important distinction in terms of policy response, since there is little gap between genders up to age 31: If the problem is "older actresses don't get many roles" then it needs a response, but if the problem was "actresses born before 1985 don't get many roles" then the problem will self-correct as the older generations are replaced by more egalitarian ones.
>there must be a cost-benefit analysis done to determine the legally required minimum

If you are saying that this is necessary, then I agree. If you are saying it is happening already, then I am skeptical and would like to see evidence.
This is an important difference between the rich and the poor. The poor actually spend their money.

Former Saint Will Smith killed, wife shot after traffic accident  NEWS
Funnily, I've been reading a book by a psychologist who developed EFT, a type of couple's therapy.

One scenario that stood out was how somebody would be emotional and that the partner immediately turns to problem solving to try and "fix it" when in fact the number 1 need is emotional support and to know they're there. The problem solver makes things worse by shunning the emotional needs and working to minimise them - perhaps as an internal reaction to difficult emotions.

The goal of the therapy is to admit to each other that you depend on each other and that's alright. Moving forward, expressing this need for closeness and dependence. This runs counter to traditional couples therapy, which has indeed focused on problem solving and a supposed need for independence.

I've been applying some of the ideas to my own relationship that has, especially over the last 6 months, been quite turbulent. The results are looking good.

The book is called 'Hold Me Tight'. Very interesting.
I'm not so sure:

The difficulty with that theory is explaining why competitors don't spring up, copy the business plan, and entice the team away with higher pay.
I wonder if this is useful, for a country with as little economic prosperity as Afghanistan. (A) A country like that cannot easily tax income or even consumption to raise taxes the way modern economies can. (B) Ricardo's model of relative advantage might break down at the edges when a country is competitive n so few fronts. (C) Maybe it's helpful to have openings like this that are easy, but might lead to more sophisticated industry later on.

I'm not convinced the same rules apply to countries with a 50+X difference in productivity.
There is nothing more reliable than solar. And do you really feel rich after taking money from your children?
At least on European cars you can read the O2 sensor voltages over the OBD2 port. $30 bluetooth dongle from ebay and you get the readings graphed on your phone. I just did that yesterday on my '02 Peugeot 307.

When you say the "right" O2 sensor I presume you're talking about the one after the cat? Doesn't that mainly tell you whether the cat is working or not? If the engine is running a bit rich and there is a bit of excess fuel coming into the cat, the cat should burn it up, I think.

And you probably know this, but there is an important difference in the voltage readings depending on whether you have wide- or narrow-band O2 sensors. Wideband is typically for performance cars.

The correlation seems to exist, but implying causation is a bit of a stretch.

I'm definitely introverted and annoyed by typos and grammar mistakes I can identify (despite making some myself with English being my 3rd language), but I also consider them harmful and contagious: e.g. the possessive "its" is written more often as "it's" than not these days, especially in tech articles and blog entries posted on HN. Therefore it's not really an emotional, knee-jerk reaction, but conscious pedantry and anger because of the harm done to readers through neglect.

Here's another theory (well, hypothesis...): extroverted people frequently have a good memory (names, faces, birthdays...) and can tolerate sloppy writing by others because it doesn't affect their own, while those who - like me - need to refresh their memories regularly and possibly rely more on reading for language skills, might find typos and grammar mistakes more harmful.
You should research all tenets of basic income including the economic side of it by getting the opinion of actual economists on it before you make your decision. If you're not properly considering an idea then that leaves room for personal biases.

Government doesn't know how to run anything well, because the tenets of capitalism don't apply to government. The best managers of business are in the private sector where the real money is and where they have the most control.

The director of the FBI for example has a salary that tops out at about $200K plus benefits. No business manager who is truly great would want that job, so they don't. They incestuously promote from within most of the time and don't seek outsiders to fill top jobs. So nobody treats any government service as a business, and they get complacent and lose sight of the real goals, plus they don't tend to be able to budget. When was the last time you heard of a government department tightening it's belt on it's own? Private sector companies do it often to stay efficient.

Proper decision making starts with admitting that you can't possible know every angle to a particular issue. You can't be a great economist, a great businessman and a great government worker all-in-one. This is why business people surround themselves with people who DO know what they're doing (such as accountants, lawyers, engineers, marketers, etc).

How many hours have you spent researching basic income? Because extremely back-of-the-napkin math would tell you that a basic income of $20,000 is greater than the entire current government budget. Supporting a concept that would instantly consume over 100% of the current government budget is absolute madness.

Taxing rich people won't pay for this, even if you tax them at 90%. You have to squeeze the middle class and the lower class as well. Literally every level of the population suffers because working is no longer incentivised.
> but the number of times I have in fact done them by hand is very high

How many times did you do them correctly and according to spec? And how many times did you just rely on servers accepting things that aren't terribly incorrect? Maybe you actually followed RFCs, I don't know... But from my experience with looking at short code that pretends to do HTTP/SMTP, they often work by accident and a new encoding or some special characters thrown into the message break them pretty bad :(

I spent a few years working with SIP, which way too many companies treat as "hey, it looks like HTTP, and is simple!" and follow with their own interpretation of how things should work. It's awful.

The bell idea was great.
Those who have mastered principles doesn't have to memorize particulars.

Nevertheless I still maintain that the classic CS61a by Prof. Brian Harvey is a gold standard. It teaches the most important big ideas, such that code is data and hence the whole OO paradigm is mere a DSL over structured data with named slots, with a protocol to follow (inheritance).

It teaches the superiority of declarative over imperative approach - one defines what shall be done, not how it can be done.

It also teaches lazy evaluation, so one doesn't parrot nonsense about monads and Haskell.

It teaches what genetics are, and that everything could be defined as an ADT with corresponding predicates (which represents mental categories we learn from environment).
There's also geographic north, which is where the map lines (and hence 'eastward') come from.

That was an amusing read. The big takeaways are even deliciously quotable:

The irony is that the feature designed to bring more security was the one that completely broke it.

Too much complexity: having lots of blocks that say “AES” and “RSA” in your plan might impress the boss, but it just adds to the attack surface. Always go with the simplest plan that secures against your threat model.

Security is hard to get right, and retrofitting security features into existing systems is ripe with very subtle traps. Add backwards compatibility into the mix and you've probably created a fragile Frankenstein.

"But it is rare for the power to be perfectly balanced."

That's the difference between the powerful and the powerless. The powerful thinks the imbalance is a fact that will never change; the powerless thinks that must change.

The problem in corporate world nowadays is that the powerful people disguise this difference all the time. For example : "hey, you can negotiate your salary and if you disagree, you have total freedom to go somewhere else. How powerful you are !"

I'll sure read your book, but I'm under the impression I'll see another, maybe very sophisticated disguise...
