Facebook is not displaying the article to those of us without Facebook accounts.

On another note, HN should not be upvoting Facebook links.

Facebook's whole premise as a website is to farm data from unpaid morons, but it runs even deeper than that.

If we accept FB links, we accept Facebook psychology experimenting with the moods of their users and attempting to change our decision making processes through Pavlovian methods.

We accept that they may have inadvertently or deliberately caused Brexit through Facebook timeline confirmation bias.

If we accept facebook links we accept Facebook recording our attention if we were to purchase Occulus.

We accept them recording our whole IM history through the facebook app. We accept them watching us. Like hunters watching prey.

Drooling. Disgusted at times by us. Loathing us at times.

The post title and linked page don't make it obvious that this isn't a standalone service; it's a feature of their "now" hosting service. So you can't use it for your app unless you host it with "now".

If you start an urbit, it binds a webserver to localhost:8080. You can just point a DNS entry to the server hosting the urbit, plus a cache and reverse proxy or whatever so it doesn't die (*.urbit.org is behind a Varnish cache). No need to use urbit.org as a resolver, which proxies all HTTP traffic through ~doznec.
Also RTFAing, the authors express their surprise at how easy some of the vulns/crashes were to find using very basic fuzzing. So while @x0x0 might be jumping to conclusions a bit harshly, saying that MS did little to no fuzzing on their font libraries is actually a reasonable guess.
I'd guess thats what they were asking about when they said "what's the catch?"
> If he were to say "vote for Hillary", then I would think that would be wrong of him. Hillary is a hawk...

Bernie spends much of the article warning about Trump and saying "In this pivotal moment, the Democratic Party and a new Democratic president need to make clear that we stand with those who are struggling and who have been left behind." There are only two realistic outcomes of the election: Trump or Hillary. Presumably he considers Hillary to be a much better outcome than Trump. So he should ask his supporters to vote for her and lobby as hard as they can for her and the Democratic party to shape up to his vision. As brexit made clear, voting for an outcome you don't want (or not voting) just to make a point could gasp have the outcome of causing the outcome you don't want.

> Also, you're not exactly saying how these free trade agreements are working out, and he's been consistent with why the trade agreements don't work, like TPP.

I looked it up at feelthebern.org (I can't readily tell whether this is his official opinion). It says:

Instead of passing such trade deals again and again, Bernie argues we must “develop trade policies which demand that American corporations create jobs here, and not abroad.” Visit our Job Creation page for specifics on how Bernie wants to do this.

The linked page says, literally, "infrastructure jobs", "supporting small businesses", and "youth employment". So no, I don't actually know what he means by "fair trade".
Dealing with users is nothing compared to dealing with Linux distributions.

The distribution will patch your code. You are powerless to stop this. They will add bugs. They will add ill-conceived and/or incompatible features that the users will come to rely on. Fedora adds a -Z option, and Debian adds a -Z option, and SuSE does too, and all of them are in conflict with each other and with the purpose for which you had reserved the -Z option.

Of course, the users will blame you.

Signal Sciences launched a bit after us. The main difference is in the result:
- Guys are helping to detect anomalies and attacks, and I believe they're doing this better than regular WAF does.
- Wallarm helps to discover exploitable security flaws and incidents (vulnerabilities exploitation) within attacks/anomalies which it detects.

There is still lack of technical details on Signal Sciences website. And no public demo. Hey, guys, give us a try :)
GBTC tanking in 5..4..3..2..1.. wouldn't there be a lot of arbitrage between GBTC and this Winklevoss Trust thus normalizing the price of GBTC ?
That's a good idea. It's called "Musharaka al-Mutanaqisa" and is a form of Islamic banking and finance.

"An innovative approach applied by some banks for home loans, called Musharaka al-Mutanaqisa, allows for a floating rate in the form of rental. The bank and borrower form a partnership entity, both providing capital at an agreed percentage to purchase the property. The partnership entity then rents out the property to the borrower and charges rent. The bank and the borrower will then share the proceeds from this rent based on the current equity share of the partnership."

Being not entirely up-to-date on current browser security, what's the risk of a webpage just including a CSS:

@font-face { src: url("/fonts/evil-font.ttf"); ... }

And making use of these? Do current browsers even use windows libraries for font handling?

Edit: reading further, the article actually mentions two browser exploits, the first of which links to a proof-of-concept which is just a font file. So yes, it seems that just including a carefully-crafted font (an OTF in this case) could take your shellcode directly to the kernel.

How about if say, Harvard, Stanford, MIT & Caltech made a pronouncement that from now none of their academics should submit research for publication in journal X on the grounds that journal X lacks commitment to being a scientific journal and it would diminish their reputations as academic institutions to have any association with that journal. Then canceled their libraries subscriptions to that journal in public, demanded a full refund and generally made a fuss in the newspapers. The NYT would print the fuss.

I think that would change the dynamic of Scientific Journals pretty quickly. Pick one of the worst, get the evidence together, ring your opposite number at a couple of places that have similar numbers of nobel prize winners and go right at the rubbish journals with the wrecking ball having the reputation of being a place where the world's best research is being conducted.

Another big raise. It says to me that the VC's have a seller's market right now, in that a lot of limiteds are throwing money at the VC's expecting the Unicorn Ranch to keep producing. I'm not sure where $4B-$8B in recent raises is going to go. They are going to be hard pressed to find enough rat-holes to stuff that much money into. Of course, the Unicorn bubble could continue, but at some point I'm thinking valuations are going to reconnect with revenues, and then what?

Islamic banks do not provide interest free money. They just use a variety of different legal structures so that there isn't anything explicitly called interest in the agreements. Usually involving the bank buying the asset and selling back to the borrower at an inflated price.

The problem with the Chrome App is that you still need to have Chrome running which on OS X means the Chrome dock icon, and any other downsides of having a running Chrome process (e.g. battery life impact).

Arbitrage is only possible when there is a low-friction way to redeem an asset for the raw good it's backed by. In the case of traded funds like this, they can only be redeemed in large batches, which means that there should be no more arbitrage opportunity than what's already possible now.
My cynical side says a third reason is that open offices make it very easy for managers/bosses/anyone who wants to see if you're working or not.
Namespace transfer is more like creating a new PGP key and revoking the old. You broadcast the new key and can prove that the old key is invalid via the revocation certificate, but there is no distributed consensus mechanism, e.g. a blockchain; the new information simply is propagated throughout the routing network.
GRPC? Not the same, but allows you to specify the API in a static file and generate native language clients among many other things.

I have to disagree with this. I'm definitely going to have fun with a game with a known bug that's going to be fixed in a week. It can even be a crashing bug, or making some mechanics unavailable. I'm just going to avoid that area, because the game is still evolving.

The same bug that's never going to be fixed makes the game not fun at all for me.
You could still make money at a larger scale (given a cheap enough storage facility): buy helium now, sell when more expensive. You'd have to wait. If you could buy the whole lot now, you could make the profit straight away.

If storing the helium plus interest rates actually costs more than the expected price increase over time warrants----then the US government _should_ sell off the reserve now, and the whole thing about them selling too cheaply is nonsense.

Though it might be that the US government can store helium cheaper than anyone else. In that case, perhaps they should sell the helium with the storage facilities? After all, what good are the storage facilities to them, when they've sold all the helium?
How to Write a History of Writing Software
Statistics for "Computer and mathematical occupations" covers such a wide variety of occupations as to be meaningless in the context of your own claims about "junior dev" positions. But for the sake of argument..

According to your source, the unemployment rate for women in Computer and mathematical occupations in May was 2.6 vs 1.8 percent for men. That's actually a 31 percent higher amount. Still high but not 50 as you claimed in your previous post. It also says the rate for May of 2015 was exactly the same for both genders at 1.5 percent. This issue has gotten a lot of press in the last 12 months so it is very unlikely that suddenly the numbers are disparate as a result of discrimination after they were the same a year ago.

And in other sectors on your chart like in Management, professional, and related occupations, the unemployment figures are the opposite. Women unemployment went from higher to lower than the men's rate. I mean, in Architecture and engineering occupations, the unemployment rate of men is literally 100 percent higher than women at 2.2 vs 1.1 percent. It just looks like natural statistical gyrations of numbers and not conclusive or even particularly indicative of anything.

And the point is, if you are saying that huge numbers of women are graduating with these degrees and then being shut out of the job market, you can't just stop there, you have to back that up. Even ignoring the fact that just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they're qualified, quoting the percent of females in entry level dev jobs doesn't say anything about where the other women went or what they are doing. I'm pointing out that if they're out there looking for these jobs then the unemployment statistics should reflect that and via your source, they don't. Other posters have suggested graduate school and other jobs not described as entry level dev and so far that explanation seems more plausible. Ask yourself, what are CS graduates qualified to do besides be junior devs and you may be surprised with how many answers there are.

I think where your confusion lies is in order for there to be discrimination, there has to actually be discrimination. Point out the discrimination, who's doing it, which companies, what policy allows this, and we can all rally and do something about it. But just throwing out cherry picked employment numbers and claiming bias is somehow self evident which is what your argument implies isn't good enough. It actually comes across as a kind of weird p-hacking[0]. Even worse is when you introduce a credibility problem by conflating different employment sectors and inflating your numbers like you have here.

Sure, but Amazon's only contribution in that area is employing lots of people and paying them well. Not exactly cardinal sins.

If living costs are too high, that's likely on government policy around land use (although some increase in living costs is inevitable in an economic boom).
>Computer programming used to have a lot more women

I have yet to see a valid study showing this. Instead, I've seen numerous studies that have not mentioned that a 'computer programmer' included employees whose job consisted of transferring punch cards and tapes. Obviously these jobs are no longer required.

The only statistics that show even a tiny bit of proof for your argument come from Soviet based nations that did have a higher percent of women in actual programming positions
Didn't really see a ton of substance in that, it seemed to mainly add up to a long-winded explanation of printing out a text file using two different languages in convoluted ways.

Here is my much shorter version of basically the same thing with a different language:

Nim for Node.js Programmers

I love Node.js programming, especially because of the massive ecosystem of modules available, but Nim has some advantages in many cases. Here are three: it uses very little memory, creates code that is very fast, and interfaces extremely easily with C and C++.

### Node.js

How to set up Node

Since you are a Node programmer, you already have it set up.

const fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('hello.txt', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Problem reading file:', err);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});

How to set up an editor/IDE

Since you are a programmer, you already set it up.

### Nim

Install Nim -- thoroughly explained here: http://nim-lang.org/download.html

Enter into readfile.nim:

try:
echo readFile("hello.txt")
except:
echo "Problem reading file."

Run command 'nim c readfile.nim' then './readfile'

### Package Management in Nim

The `nimble` command handles packages in Nim. Please read the excellent and thorough documentation here: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble

For more information, see the great documentation at http://nim-lang.org/documentation.html, the new book Nim in Action, https://www.manning.com/books/nim-in-action, or many other resources online such as those listed here: http://nim-lang.org/learn.html
Leverage is important, but leveraged bets can be made with financial assets too. Our laws make leveraged bets on owner-occupied housing attractive, but I don't think there's an inherent financial advantage to other kinds of investments.
I'm in the “Congratulations, I hope?” camp. Acquisitions by big companies rarely work out.

One of my favorite quips was about Intel acquiring McAfee: JPMorgan analyst Christopher Danely upgraded Intel to overweight following the company's earnings, although he still struggles to reconcile Intel's recent acquisition spree.

"Intel might as well have bought Whole Foods," he said of the McAfee deal.

And, recently, we've seen a lot of press about how Intel is thinking about dumping their Cyber Security division, nee McAfee.

Then there's the apocryphal quip about Ballmer and RIM: Technology industry rumours suggest a Microsoft takeover of RIM, considered an excellent match in competence and vision. “Synergy’s just another word for two and two makes one!” said Steve Ballmer. “We will assimilate your technological stench of death into our own.”

Microsoft didn't buy RIM, but I don't think anyone will argue that the similar thing they did do, i.e. buy the Nokia phone division, worked out for them.
Which Degrees Give the Best Financial Returns?

Scanning the full data set may be hard for people new to big query. I managed to query the full data set in https://kozikow.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/top-emacs-packages-... . "Resources exceeded during query execution" are especially hard to debug as may mean many things that could have caused Big query to go out of memory.

Some big query tricks to make it work:

- TOP/COUNT is faster and more memory efficient than GROUP BY/ORDER
- Filtering data prior to join in sub-query reduces memory usage.
- Regexps and globs are expensive. Use LEFT/RIGHT as a faster version.
- Avoid reading all files to get around 1TB freebie scan limit. Only access file contents after filtering some paths.

I agree that international boundaries were blurrier then - to solidify them was the purpose of Azara's whole mission - and I should have been more specific about the modern locations to which I was referring. I think the Viceroyalty of Rio de La Plata (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroyalty_of_the_R%C3%ADo_de...) might have made that particular name apply to a broader region then than it does now. As for Azara, he started his stay in South America mostly in Buenos Aires, but then spent the bulk of his time in Asunción, traveling from there to the Brazilian border that he was supposed to demarcate only to be met with lack of cooperation from the Portuguese. For a more comprehensive biography, this is the best I've found online: http://www.fundacionazara.org.ar/ingles/felix-azara.html. Many thanks to you both for taking the time to read and comment!
