So i'm going to suggest that unless we have a scheme for warehousing large numbers of people pretty much forever, and supporting them, we literally have to do something different.
The last time I was in that situation, the only option was lisp. I'm still supporting a lisp environment for that one piece of code.
Uber says "We perform background checks" because it reassures their customers. To implement your suggestion, it seems like people should either stop feeling scared when driving with convicted felons or Uber should get powerful enough(possibly by making consumers dependent on them) that they can ignore people's requests for non-felons.

Men would probably take the first option if you lower the cost to ride with felons.

I guess you could also lie to people about doing the checks, later say "Most people who rode with convicted felons didn't get violently murdered", and people would pull out their spreadsheets and conclude that the problem isn't worth worrying about. Then the problem would go away.
The study was done globally. From the write up on the Demos website it looks like they got similar results internationally as they did in the UK (caveated by them not having released the study when I looked, just a summary).

It did provoke an interesting reaction in the Guardian. To paraphrase, if it's just men then they're sad loners picking on women. But as it's women too then it must be due to a problem in our education system. They then went on to blame our ex Education Secretary but that's probably a contractual thing for Guardian writers.

I attended Applicative 2015, and they did record the talks. For each talk, there is a video link: http://applicative.acm.org/2015/applicative.acm.org/speakers...

However, it is true that most ACM conferences do not record talks. That, however, is probably just because recording talks is expensive, and the conference organizers don't want to spend their budget on it.
I actually don't think it would in this case. Part of the issue is that people keep circling at really low speeds endlessly (seriously, try parking there on a weekend), which worsens congestion.

Beyond that, the issue is that it is required in these cases, but the buildings just don't build enough and then pay the slap on the wrist fine for it.
> I guess you're suggesting that an IPO exposes a company to more of a herd mentality regarding immediate profitability

An IPO exposes a company to ruthless financial scrutiny, which doesn't exist when they're private.

Going public and having your share price drop below expectations is the most epic of down rounds.
So what you're saying is "when women are part of a community they behave like the community"?

Then why is it so hard for people to believe that women on the internet are just as abusive as men on the internet? The internet is a community, or community of communities.
Yes, it was dead. Now though... please try it. You'll be impressed.
> I thought that if you rebased & squashed something after you pushed it, then it would confuse the git clients of anybody who had pulled before the squash?

When a single developer if working on a feature in their own feature branch, and using that branch also as a backup (e.g. pushing "going to lunch" commits), there should be no need for anyone else to pull this branch when the work is unfinished and ongoing.

Well, they can pull it to e.g. take a look at the code, but as long as they contribute to the branch themselves (and why would you base your work on someone else's "going to lunch" commit?).

If a group of people works on the same feature, then they should set up a "master-feature" branch, in addition to their personal branches.
That's not entirely true, if your decrement results in a cascading free of an entire tree of objects you will pay for the deallocation time for that entire tree -- decrement, free, decrement children, free, etc..

Assuming that the consequences of acting like X is true when X is false, are much worse than the consequences of acting like X is false when X is true, there's a subtle but important difference between saying "we should err on the side of acting as if X is false", and saying "we should be skeptical of claims that X is true"

Technically non-blocking only guarantees system wide progress. Only wait-free algorithms guarantee per thread progress.

Anyway, even controlling preemption and disabling interrupts very much does not make a spinlocked critical section a lock free algorithm. That's not just a theoretical issue. We are dealing right now with a couple of machines where periodically the kflush kernel thread livelocks hard preventing the rest of the system from ever writing a page to disk requiring a hard powercycle.

Right, but that's precisely how Turing completeness works. It's possible to write a program that can figure out whether most real world code terminates. All Turing completeness tells you is that no matter how clever that program gets, there will be some programs (not necessarily 'real world programs') which it won't be able to process. The fact that the Java programming language is Turing complete doesn't prevent us being able to write programs in it (indeed it means we can write interesting programs in it!). It is just a result that tells us there are some things we can't say about ALL Java programs.

This is a similar result. The fact that the Java type system is turing complete doesn't stop us expressing things with it. It just tells us there are some things we can't say about ALL Java type declarations.

Changing the Channel
Nice article. Unfortunately articles are not data. It mentions a 2013 study but yet again with a peer group of 32 that is much too small to tell you anything, and gives no further information. That 2013 I can't seem to find, but the p value if the article is correct on sample size would also be quite low, though slightly higher than the previously mentioned studies.

If the difference is so clear in an MRI why not run a simple blinded study where researchers look at brain scans and tell you who is transgender and who is not? Such a study would not only prove this theory outright, but would likely make a researcher's career.

I have two[0] separate buckets in my head under the same key "hacker" - one for actual hackers, per old meaning, and the other for "just a programmer" & "a random startup person".

Sometimes this confusion actually gets beneficial for the old-word-meaning crowd - you can get +10 to marketing of your hackerspace on startup events based solely on the tern "hacker" meaning something else than the crowd there think it means :).

[0] - actually three, if you count "hacker as a criminal" thing

For anyone to be liable, there'd have to be a criminal or civil suit against LinkedIn, neither of which has happened or seems likely to happen. Maybe a class action lawsuit, but I don't think there's a precedent for an individual employee being held personally liable in a class action suit.

Also I really doubt there was a single employee you could place the blame on.

How pathetic is this? Around 90% of the company is taken by the vulture capitalists and you, as a founder, only get to keep 12%. Bill Gates at the time of Microsoft's IPO had around 50% of the company.
I entirely agree with you on this count - however, I think that if the vocation in question consists of "Getting into an unmarked car with a stranger, in a state of fatigue/inebriation, in a city you aren't familiar with," we should have a different standard for background checks then we do for, say, a roofer.

Of course you are okay with it, because it's out-of-sight, out of mind.

If it was your one friend who got drunk and in a bar fight and charged with assault when he was 20, maybe you'd think differently :)

Even if you restrict your view to felons, in california, for example, there are plenty of assault charges that are easily classifiable into "stupid thing you did once and did not cause long-term harm" but still felonies.

At some point, what folks are really saying is "i'm okay assuming this person is a bad person likely to do something bad". This is, for better or for worse, at this point, pretty unrelated to whether they have a criminal record or not.

They are not being managed for profitability; they are being managed for scale. They are growing at near 100% y/o/y, so management has decided to keep the pedal down until they win the market. Profitability comes in the out years, way down the line. Amazon is the most famous (successful) example of this.

I don't work there, but I can assure you that nothing at Twilio is structured to be a profitable small company.
It's not worth it, because as soon as you go down this route you're going to be constantly thinking about the GC.

If I add a cyclic reference here will that make GCs longer? Maybe I should have a free list and reuse these objects (after all they're responsible for most of my allocations)?

As soon as you're thinking like that as you write each line of code you've lost all of the benefits of the language being high-level, and you'd be better of controlling memory manually.
You can attach the allow(dead_code) attribute to the struct - or even the individual field - which will scope it to that declaration only. Still annoying when you have a lot of them, but better in my opinion than not having dead code warnings on fields, since the use case you describe is the minority of Rust structs that are declared.
I encourage you to read the links on the comment you responded to. If you had, you would have found that as of Go 1.5 the pauses are 2ms or less for a heapsize < 1GB. In Go 1.6 this reduced further.

Externally genitalia aren't the only physical characteristic, and if you judge by other physical characteristics that are testable now, though less obvious to a casual observer, transgender individuals are in many ways similar to their experiences gender more than their socially assigned gender. The biological differences between make and female aren't binary, treating them as if they are is an extreme simplification and treating external genitalia as the bright-line divider is increasingly evidently nonsensical given out knowledge of human biology and it's relation to psychology and behavior.

> Because lord knows there will be a moment down the road where there's a line of code that doesn't quite make sense.

This is that code reviews and code commenting are for. You shouldn't need to dig into the nitty-gritty of multiple commits of a single feature to understand a single line. Written once, read hundreds—right?

> And I'll want _full_ history to understand where that line came from. See how it evolved.

So you want a full keystroke history as well, then? Because as far as I'm concerned, this is essentially what an unsquashed commit history is.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should have 15,000 line commits that encompass a single feature—these lines should have made their way back into the code a long time ago—but seeing dozens of one-line changes is useless: "fix ci by including dependency"; "&& instead of ||"; "tidy up style"; "strings should be UTF-8"—and these are just useful names for useless commits which totally ignore commits of "..."; "shit"; "fixes stuff"; "work"; "progress";.

These commits just fragment the history and especially gitblame, because it becomes difficult to see many changes cleanly wrapped into a single, logically grouped block.

Uber starts cash payments experiment in South Africa
Lots of people have to worry about single digit microseconds with high throughput.
Mostly its about size. There is effectively a minimum viable size for a fission reactor. There are a pinch more than 2 neutrons born from each fission event. In order to operate at criticality, exactly one of them must go on to produce another fission. Leakage of neutron radiation from the effective surface of the core is a major way that neutrons don't make it to cause another fission event. As the ratio of surface area to volume goes up (because the core got smaller) it becomes harder and harder to design a core that doesn't lose neutrons to the other loss mechanisms to keep up with the increasing loss out the core's surface.
That's a good question, and it seems to be something that's usually glossed over when we're talking about password security.

The sensible fix for long TSA lines is to eliminate the TSA and stop engaging in this silly security theater. It is demonstrably the case that the TSA security procedures are so porous that they can't stop regular people from accidentally bringing weapons on board that they forgot about. The idea that they have prevented any terrorist attacks is ludicrous, yet they have imposed an enormous cost on air travel.

Eliminate the TSA and replace them with nothing. Cockpit doors are now reinforced, so the worst thing someone could do is blow up a plane, and if all you want to do is blow up a hundred people or so, you don't need to be on a plane to do it.

So far, it's only tracking the time and recording which app is in the foreground and what file / url is currently opened in there. It doesn't have any GUI and it won't show you nice statistics like Qbserve. But it shouldn't be difficult to calculate any statistics you want from the data.

To be fair, the parent to your comment included lots of steps that assumed the user was starting from scratch. If we assume the same for the user making an Express app, the steps are much more complex:

* Install a C++ compiler (XCode or libssl-dev packages)

* Run the NVM install script

* Use NVM to install Node.js

* npm install express-generator -g

* express myapp

* cd myapp; npm install

* Install or update Homebrew

* Install git

* git init

* Install Mongo (or your db of choice)

* Install Mongo packages via npm

* npm start
> You can't think yourself into a different sex

No. You can think yourself into a different gender. Gender isn't sex - this has been written about since 1963, and is generally agreed on at this point - gender is a combination of personal and cultural mental attributes, while sex is generally "what your body physically is". This messes up slightly when you get to certain sex-driven gender attributes, but, in general, it's a reasonably clear line.

Sex is mostly irrelevant unless you're intending to sleep with someone or you're a doctor, and even then what you're asking about is generally a certain set of characteristics where a number of people fall between the lines. If you're a trans woman who's undergone GRS and you say "my sex is male", that's going to confuse an awful lot of people.

Edit: My specific point, in this response, is that identifying as a gender which does not match your sex is not "playing pretend" or less important somehow, as you insinuated in your original post.
