Yes, there is. Allow me to rephrase it using Boolean logic to elucidate:

IF women aren't interested in programming, THEN none of them go into programming professionally.

IF women don't go into programming professionally, THEN they aren't interested."

I have 2 better questions to ask:

1) If fewer women than "the ideal" are interested in STEM, then why is that?

2) Why do we think a perfect 50/50 ratio across all fields is "the ideal," when "nature" might not deem it so? (note: this is NOT an "argument to nature")
That is quite a good way of putting things in perspective about Fed and free money building up the asset bubble, which is only made worse by stricter zoning laws and NIMBY.

As far as downvotes go, HN leans left, that is not news, any conservative or libertarian views will collect the usual down votes. Strangely it happens in bunches too.

Thought that you might have other than XEE to showcase.

Showcasing something that started being exploited more than a decade back and has pretty well known defenses doesn't inspire much confidence.
What makes it illegal to mark the time at which the trust evaluates it's shares? Marking the close for COIN on BATS is illegal. Marking the corresponding BTC event...?
Which is a bad idea because the characters don't look right unless you use a Japanese font. But if you want to write an article comparing Japanese and Chinese characters, you have to use two different fonts.

If you actually read the article, it seems to indicate that the problem is that women do not handle "attrition events" (such as a job rejection) very well. In fact, they handle it many times worse than men do, apparently.

This alone might account for the difference in percentages there, assuming there's some hidden "adversity event" that caused the attrition.

Perhaps (speculating here), men handle rejection from jobs better because they handle rejection from the opposite sex better (due to years of honed experience) :O

It sounds sexist to say "grow a pair," but perhaps we need to teach women more confidence somehow.
> Even hedge funds aren't zero sum. They receive dividends on the investments they hold which is a return that is not zero sum.

Once again, that depends on the trade, short term trades don't make their money from dividends, but from timing the market.

> Additionally, financial services overall are far from zero sum.

Beside the point, plenty of them are zero-sum-never said they were all zero-sum; that exception exist doesn't change the point that zero-sum vs non-zero-sum is a false dichotomy, the real world is both zero-sum and non-zero-sum, depending on the way the wealth is being generated. It's tiresome watching people continually repeat the incorrect mantra that wealth isn't a zero-sum game when quite often, it is.
They seem to replace interest with fees or commissions.
Do you mean jobs in finance? I'm not so sure society really needs most of the products and services finance generates.
You are welcome to think as many times as you like. I'll be sticking with the impression built so far until I see evidence that contradicts it. And that points strongly to a lot of folks wanting send an "FU I'm angry" signal.

I will note two things: I'm not talking about 30m+ voters; I'm talking about a significant block of them. 'Huge' != all; which you even quoted. A little hard to tell, but you seem to be arguing with a rather stronger claim than I made.

Second, I have zero interest in anyone's "mainstream media" bashing. Fine, whatever, they suck. But unless you're willing to point to specifics and make specific allegations, I consider MSM bashing to be content-free; the political pontificaticator's equivalent of bitching about the referee in sports. (To be clear, of course media actors have agendas. Always have, always will. Depending on what lens you choose, they're people, they're loosely-coupled political operations or they're corporations, and the notion that you'll find impartiality there is either a utopian pipe dream or a cynical, selectively-employed critique made to delegitimize reporting the critic doesn't like.)

This won't be the dumbest ETF, it will be a less than ideal way of holding bitcoin. There are lots of ETFs that make it easy to get access to an asset class and get the full economics (foreign exchange ETFs), these are still probably not ideal, but they're reasonable, but bitcoin is pretty easy to buy and sell not sure what benefit an exchange traded product has.

The Wikelvoss's do have a BTC exchange, is the goal to somehow tie this in? Turn their exchange to a market that gets benchmarked? They did also launch the BitIndex. Seems like trying to control the bitcoin benchmark could have financial value.

BTW, in order to use Wallarm one needs to pay upwards of $1000 pm. In order to pacify themselves that it works, one either need to write poor code that exhibits XEE or pay further to use WebSphere. Nice.
AMD made the reference design, the power consumption is also managed by the silicon.

It doesn't mean much other than potential recall/legal issues for AMD.

And no motherboards will not restrict it, it can cause motherboards to become unstable since many more things share the PCIe power bus other than the GPU (high end motherboards usually have extra power connectors for multiple card setups) and it can damage the motherboard physically if the traces are not rated for that current.

The problem here is you combine a low end card with borderline spec issues, this means that virtually everyone who'll own one will own a low to mid range motherboard also which are the ones which are likely to have issues.

High End motherboards are so overbuilt for overclocking and multi GPU setups that it doesn't really matter, but with 10-20% more draw on the PCIe power tracers even the reviewers were nervous testing the cards on those rigs.

Boy this article is a very friendly interpretation of Scott Kupor's blog post.

From NYTimes:

> He [Scott Kupor] also suggests a longer period for employees to exercise options after they leave, up to 10 years. That figure is endorsed by Y Combinator in an argument that any lesser period is unfair to employees.

Makes it seem like Scott Kupor is on the leading edge of caring about employees, in agreement with YC (which has actually been employee friendly in words and actions in regard to stock options).

However, read Scott's actual blog post and he refers to the 10 year exercise idea incredulously:

> The 10-year “solution” thus takes money/option value out of the pockets of the current (and growing) employee base to line the pockets of former employees who are no longer contributing to the business.

> Talk about disenfranchising your remaining employees and not being able to attract new ones.

Good reminder to always read your primary sources.

I'd be interested in seeing this study.

That is nowhere near what I encountered in my large engineering school. CS101 was probably 33% women, but after a month, we were down to about 15%. By the 4th year, maybe 10% at best.

From what I can see based on many of the millenials I now interview, there is a huge difference in degrees based on school, much more than before. It seems like many low tier schools are pumping out degrees in any field as long as they've paid the inflated tuition. I don't consider a CS degree that didn't require a few semesters of calculus, algorithms, learning C and assembly to be valid. But it appears this is now common for these 'CS lite' degrees.

At least 2 reviewers got their cards from distributors not from AMD/OEM's and reported the same problem so probably very slim.

This just goes to show that Apple really needs to solve their app installation problem.

I remember a time when "just move the app into the Applications folder" seemed really simple. Like Apple, I thought it was a fine idea.

We were wrong. Having to move the application in Applications turns out to be absolutely baffling to most users. (Including many people I am fond of, e.g. my dad.)

A lot of apps now offer to move themselves when first launched from the Dowloads or Desktop folder; the OS should handle this.

GPR itself still seems janky, but this would help (since apps in Applications don't get GPR'd).

It isn't a left or right issue, its a reality issue. We in the USA do not have a free market, where prices are determined by market forces. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing is a completely different debate. The FED does not hide the fact that it buys MBS (mortgage backed securities) to prop up the housing market. This is the opposite of a free market (and only one of many ways the market is controlled). This isn't up for debate among members of the reality-based community.

>The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) directed the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to purchase additional MBS and longer-term Treasury securities (see http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.h... for the most recent FOMC statement). The FOMC also directed the Desk to maintain its existing policies of reinvesting principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC noted that these actions should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative.

With current per port costs and economics, that doesn't make much sense. The $/Gbps/Watt improves with every spin of the chip, and every increase in serdes bandwidth.

10GbE (64x10G) - ~$4,500, $70/port

10GbE (32x40G) - ~$6,000, $50/port

25GbE (72x25G) - ~$7,000, $100/port (Seen as low as $5k)

25GbE (32x100G) - ~$9,000, $75/port (Seen as low as $7k)

2x 10GbE = $100

1x 25GbE = $75

Not to mention the extra cabling costs, and complexity.

I think the point is that you can't assume that in some ideal world where everyone is working harmoniously and fairly, that the ratio will definitely become 50/50.

Why don't we have similar outrage over the fact that most teachers and nurses are women? Why is STEM and IT in particular receiving all this attention? There are already more women than men attending college, the consequences of that alone will push the needle beyond where it would "normally" be (whatever that is, an incalculable value currently)

Sumatra feels snappier than Foxit. It doesn't have as many buttons to interface with, but there are common keyboard shortcuts for the things I use.

1. Try to understand the problem you want to solve and only solve this one in the shortest and cleanest way you can.

1.1. Write tests for this problem you solve.

1.2. Do not over-engineer on that problem.

1.3. Optimize later. If the code is clean the performance is usually good enough. If the code is clean you can easily optimize on it.

2. The choice of the language does not matter so much, as long you know the caveats of it. If you use dynamically typed languages you should write more tests covering possible input and output or use asserts to validate it.

3. Know your tools. Try to understand each tool you are using first before using it for your production code.

4. Learn to communicate your thoughts clearly. Honestly it is one of the biggest advantages for any developer. You will write better code as a result.

Regarding the question of whether browsers sanitize the fonts, I'm looking at the chromium issue linked to what the article calls a "weaponized exploit", and even though it's marked as fixed (obviously), it's not clear whether they marked it as such because windows released a security update or because chrome did with sanitation. While the idea of monkey-patching kernel bugs through sanitation is kind of ugly, it would be also be ugly to rely on windows updates, considering that many people are furiously/incorrectly disabling them because of the ridiculous windows 10 update behavior...

I don't mean to argue wholesale against F/OSS, but against a certain approach to it. You are absolutely right that there are some domains where the Open Source software available is much better than the proprietary software. <insert rant about oracle's developer experience compared to PostgreSQL>

Another related structural reason is the lower cost and lower risk for a professional of educating oneself on open source, reducing hiring costs. This only applies to domains where the things you're buying aren't turnkey solutions, but that is many domains.
Meh.

"it was trivial to discover with a dumb fuzzer, and it's surprising that such a bug could even survive until 2015, with so much work being supposedly put into the security of font processing."

At times like this I'm reminded of the sheer amount of security holes out there in the wild and I just want to chuck my computer in the lake.
If you need just the floating IP address, keepalived is fine.

I'm mostly bitter from spending days tracking down a race condition stemming from its notification scripts, which wasn't really keepaliveds fault per se. But if you need to start/move/constraint/notify anything along with the IP, or require sub-second failover, Corosync/Pacemaker is a far better choice.

However due to their complexity, for just a floating IP address, keepalived is unfortunately the best option for Linux (I usually have OpenBSD in that spot).

Actually it may have something to do with biological differences in social stress response on top of conditioning.

I personally find this fascinating--a biological basis carries with it a possibility of pharmacological treatment for those wanting it, and perhaps the design and validation of nonpharmacological approaches for those who don't or third parties seeking to reduce bias.

IIRC, there are a couple experiments in rat models along the lines of: put a male or a female rat in the same cage as an aggressive, territorial rat. The male rats are back to normal within hours-days. The female rats take days-weeks. IIRC some sort of neuronal transcription factor or something is thought involved.

Can track down a review if anyone's interested.

I agree. Unless the CS major is planning on specializing in embedded software, things like complexity classes and database normalization would be of more use. Even that is overkill, as in my experience leveraging and utilizing software libraries in the correct way often has already solved the issue at hand. Nowadays even more high level skills as that such as networking, caching, and distrusted computing are of more use when it comes to optimization.
Thanks. That clarified everything. Sad that one can't find this simplified info on Wikipedia or on the Microsoft website.
