Seriously guys, just because we're making 10x the salary of a miner doesn't mean we're not also generating 100x the money for our employers without being allowed to take part in decisions that effect our lives.

With all due respect, perhaps it might have been interpreted as harsh, but what was noted above is no less true.

I'll acknowledge there is not an overload of ads being displayed with the paper, which is cool. Also acknowledge that there certainly might be restrictions for distributing papers (a separate, possibly inflammatory topic)...but have you tried doing something as simple as printing the paper? On Chrome (windows machine) it prints out so disjointed as to diminish one's interest in reading the paper (offline of course). I just want to print this out and read it on the train ride home. I guess the intent of the site is ideal, but execution is less so.
They named it 7 so it would line up with the S7.

Google is on the same path.

Brillo and Fuchsia have almost no GPL or LGPL licensed code.

They also are in the process of kicking GCC out of the Android NDK. Only a few feature parity issues are preventing it for the time being.
Julia is very strongly typed, much more so than most dynamic languages. Because the type inference can remove type checks in performance-sensitive code, the language and standard library are much more willing to throw type checks around all over the place, which means that errors get caught much closer to where they were caused compared to most dynamic languages.

julia> xs = ["foo", "bar"]
2-element Array{String,1}:
"foo"
"bar"

julia> push!(xs, 42)
ERROR: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Int64 to an object of type String
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor String(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
in push!(::Array{String,1}, ::Int64) at ./array.jl:479

julia> xs = Any["foo", "bar"]
2-element Array{Any,1}:
"foo"
"bar"

julia> push!(xs, 42)
3-element Array{Any,1}:
"foo"
"bar"
42

If what you are looking for is a statically typed language, then Rust has a very similar approach to data, types and polymorphism but with much more emphasis on catching errors at compile-time, at the cost of poor interactive development.
I have worked in and around startups for my entire career and never once met a founder who told me that they had left their previous job because women were being promoted at it. Never even once. And I've collaborated with some politically colorful founders.

Someone, I'm sure, will rebut this comment with an example of a successful founder who started their company due to oppressive affirmative action policies. But you worded your comment as if this was some kind of obvious industry norm. It is not; you should reword.
- Working at a man in construction/military/transportation gets you more respect when telling others what you do for a living than women that work in pornography/sex work.

- A number of injuries that happen as a result of pornography (e.g. rape) are not reported because they would negatively affect their further career in the industry.

- I doubt any of those stats include the work-related injuries of sex workers.

- Some of those industries have insulated themselves from women. E.g. the military hasn't really decided at it's core that they want to have women, even though they do a bunch of PR about it.

- It's also possible that men are more likely to take work-related risks. E.g. give in to the boss that demands your construction worksite will not comply with OSHA because it's 'too costly.'

What do you find maddening about micro packages? I hate depending on a giant stack of frameworks (slowing installs, builds, adding behavior surface area) when I just need a function or two, so micro packages are a joy for me.
Look, I get the issues with startup culture but this guy doesn't offer any reasonable suggestions on how to fix them and just uses his Medium soapbox to throw a tantrum. If you want things to change, writing an article with 35 "fucks" is not the way to do it.
As one of the early workers on network congestion, much of what he says is right. We really have no idea how to deal with congestion in the middle of the network. The best we can do is have more bandwidth in the middle than at the edges. Fortunately, the fiber optic and hardware router people have done so well at providing bandwidth that the backbone has mostly been able to keep ahead of the edges.

We never dreamed of a connection with over 10,000 packets in flight. Cutting the congestion window in half on a packet loss and ramping it back up one packet at a time was something I came up with around 1984. That does need to be rethought, and it has been.
Interesting. I've found the opposite, to be honest. Or, the ones I've met that work in big companies seem to be interested in just coding or doing technical work.

I guess it's all pretty anecdotal, though.
Fantastic response! Thank you! Some of the PR departments I have already contacted I pitched it as a possible marketing move, to use the mentorship somehow to make the company look altruistic, etc (they would be doing a great service, truly) but that was the only real benefit I could see for them. What else could we offer?

Contacting a company that has children as its user base is a great idea and I can see how that could be a useful exchange, beyond that it seems like I need to meet an individual who has a personal interest in helping kids.

Great points all around and I am taking them all to heart.
I too saw your talk at startup school, wish I had the opportunity to speak to you both personally; but I'm glad you all are here answering questions. I found some of the examples given on how to solve the chicken and egg issue very interesting and helpful to the dilemma I'm currently facing with my company. Do you mind sharing additional failed and successful strategies to gain and balance customers within the AptDeco marketplace?

> In 10.6, they didn't need a new low-level networking library to support drag-and-drop between your iPhone and your Mac, and as such, that code wasn't there to repeatedly rename your Mac "Foo (7)" or whatever.

What are you talking about? Assuming you mean universal clipboard (you can't drag & drop to your iPhone), that's built on top of handoff, a technology we've had for a few years now, and has nothing at all to do with your computer being named "Foo (7)". I suspect you're thinking of the discoveryd fiasco, which isn't related to any feature work at all but was caused by Stuart Cheshire retiring (and was fixed by Stuart coming back out of retirement).
Sometimes anger is justified. And sometimes it calls for a good venting. Sometimes it even calls for a little activism. And sometimes all of these are just futile, because richer people are in control of what you see and hear, who have interest in keeping their pockets full using the hard work of young impressionable kids who don't know the real value of their own time. It's sickening, and the anger is justified. The rant is probably going to be forgotten tomorrow though, and unfortunately won't save a single soul from the startup world.

The only takeaway for me is the wondering whether or not the author really thinks you can't read a book a week. I mean, yeah, you have to make time to read the books, but an average length book takes something like 6-8 hours to read, so if you allocate an hour a day (which I maintain is worth doing), you're generally going to be able to comfortably knock out a book a week.

Sure, you're not churning through War & Peace every week, but for regular books, it's really not that hard.
Actually your links (assuming replicability of the studies etc) just support the claim that "names that conform to the majority culture do better". They do not support your first sentence at all. It is perfectly possible for non-white people to have white names. Your implication that companies demonstrating preference for cultural/class conformity and familiarity is somehow unexpected or "unfortunate" doesn't follow.
I'm in the same boat. VS Code is also much faster in loading and scrolling, at least on Windows.

On the legal front, it's worth suing makers of vulnerable devices for negligence.

Where does one sue the no-name Chinese manufacturers of these devices? I have a feeling a lawsuit won't get very far in Shenzhen Municipal Court. There's absolutely no consequences to them building these devices and you cannot expect a solution from them.
You're misunderstanding the entire point of my comment. I was specifically addressing the assertion that Popescu would have used a different card for the other account if he were trying to commit fraud: "If Kapeli wanted to be deceptive and create another account to commit a bunch of fraud on that appeared unassociated with him, he'd use another credit card, bundle ID, etc."

This claim is untrue. Per Popescu's blog, he didn't know using the same bank/CC info would link the accounts. So no, he likely wouldn't have used a different card. So the implication that because he didn't use a different card, he therefore wasn't trying to commit fraud is invalid.

The reference to Apple being dumb was merely for comparison.
Not quite as exploitative as the music industry prefers to behave in pursuit of profits, but I concur the general top-down structuring of environments like that is not particularly an accident. Like hard seats in a fast food restaurant - they're not supposed to make you want to stay for an extended period of time, in theory.

True, over 40% of women leave SET (science, engineering, technology, math) mid-career (https://www.ncwit.org/sites/default/files/resources/womenint... page 9).

Interestingly, in engineering 39% leave mid-career, and in technology occupations 56%.
I'm not surprised since I've seen the quality of Samsung going downhill for years. Even such things as the stupid blotware Kies and Kies air instead of just allowing you to connect the phone like a USB thumbdrive. I've rambled on about Samsung phones in the comment sections of various sites for years.

The last Samsung phone I bought was an S5 I still have it I skipped the S4 before that it the S3 which was not bad except for the screen glass quality.

I was impressed by the S2 the glass is nearly indestructible even my elderly dad with his pocket full of change and car keys never scratched the screen.

A replacement S3 I managed to scratch about a week after getting it but before that my original S3 screen cracked from end to end suddenly. When I was at Starbucks the barista said "Hey mine did I that too!" her phone had the same exact crack pattern S shaped top right to lower left.

This overall quality problem at Samsung shouldn't be a surprise. But really any modern phone cramming so much into a small thing with an enormous amount of energy crammed into a battery something had to give maybe Apple is next?
I'd have given his words more credence if he hadn't canceled the Constellation project in 2010 [1].

It was in fact part of his original campaign platform in 2008 to cut funding to Nasa to pay for a national day care program. The day care never really got off the ground, but he did succeed in cutting Nasa's budget, forcing a lot of projects to shut down.

I'm glad to hear he's had a change of heart about space, though it sounds as though he's counting on the private sector to do a lot of the work. And, of course, it means diddlysquat given that he's retiring in three months.

As a man, I'm embarrassed that this is the top comment on HN. This talk about "a generation of men being sacrificed" is absurd. Men still dominate the IT industry at all levels. To say that we're being sacrificed en masse is hyperbolic to say the least. It reminds me of the way that the Trump campaign makes its points about the state of the world.

Furthermore, so many men in tech are quick to explain away statistics about women/minorities being hired less by saying, "There's no bias! It's because they're not as skilled!" But when stats show that women advance faster, the story flips, and suddenly it's, "This proves bias! There's no way it's due to skill!"

Come on, HN, we're better than this.

KISS: The 288 View of Your Customer
I had a hard time understanding how people were comparing meyers briggs to astrology and I think the problem is that they don't know the full idea behind the meyers briggs classification. I thought I should give a brief description of what it is, or at least what I think it is.

What meyers briggs is NOT is a group of 16 types each with a description of what the person is like. This looks like astrology. This 16 groups is just a summary of what people might be like based on the test results.

Meyers briggs IS a group of four classifications. A person falls on a continuum related to each classification. For each classification there is a letter associated with each end of the spectrum. For a given classification you can label yourself as one of the two letters based on which side of the continuum you fall, though this is just a simplifying representation. The true representation is a place on the continuum between each of the two letters.

The four categories are give below, in my matchbox description:

E vs I - extroversion/introversion. An I is a person who recharges by being alone. An E recharges by being with other people. An I type person will typically be tired after spending a lot of time in a group of people and will want to spend some time by themselves. An E will be drained if they are by themselves for a while. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as a pure E or a pure I. We are all a combination of the two.

N vs S - intuitive/sensing - An N person relies on subconscious thinking, whereas a S person relies on conscious thinking, or reasoning. We can thinking much faster subconsciously but the problem with it is that it is when are brain produces a result, such as "That person doesn't like me", it is difficult to know if it is right if it is based on subconscious reasoning.

T vs F - thinking/feeling - An F is more sensitive to another's feelings where as a T is less concerned with a persons interpretation of what they say than with how true it is. A T is more the brutally honest type.

P vs J - perceiving/judging - a J is a planner and doesn't like when the plan changes. A P likes to take things as they come and doesn't like to be tied down.

I see this as a very scientific classification. Of course, what people do with the classification may be a different story, such as how it is used in the hiring process. I find it very useful in understanding how people react to situations differently than I do, and that I should not judge them negatively for this.
> Young, single and childless will be their target at first.

I find the MBTI incredibly useful. When I meet someone I immediately figure out what their MBTI type is. That saves me enormous amounts of time later on---I don't have to pay close attention to what they say or do. I just rely on their MBTI type. Sometimes I don't even bother listening to them or asking their opinion, which lets me use the time to think about other things, like HN. I used to use their astrological sign, but that required asking for their birthday, which was awkward, especially when I didn't get them a present.

> but exploration-for-it's-own-sake isn't a good enough reason

Yes, it IS. Really.

In choosing to do something difficult we focus on something that will need answers to questions we don't even know to ask yet. Some will produce answers that seem so specialised to have no reuse.

Give it 5 years and some will be commercial successes. Others will lead to new ideas, branches of science, tech or products, and a steady stream of improvements to earthly things. Some will only be utilised years later, or ignored.

Just as exploring the ocean's surface made it clear we needed marine chronometers (a life's work) and an understanding of scurvy. Those would take years to answer. Scurvy led to the first clinical trial, that the Navy ignored for 40 years. Or from the golden age of aircraft: SR-71[1], Concorde, XB-70 Valkyrie[1]. Just 3 examples, of dozens, each of which led to enough advances to fill a book. Two military, one prestige. Doesn't matter that the B-52 is still flying and the XB-70 was a dead end, we learnt lots of stuff, and it almost gave the US their own SST (Concorde). Aviation is mostly drilled out now.

I'm a big believer in prestige projects - whether they work or not. Governments don't like that sort of thing any more. So unless other rich cashed out founders want to take the place of government and give us magic thing of the future...

We're left with exploration and major wars (cold or hot) to hurl technology forward. With current mil tech I'd rather not have major wars, so, exploration it must be. Oh, why haven't we properly explored under the seas yet?

Or, for a longer and far more eloquent version of this, see http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/08/why-explore-space.html written in 1970 by NASA Director of Science.

Mars, Tesla, Solar, Hyperloop. That's a lot on Mr Musk. I hope he crosses roads carefully. We need a few more crazy engineering imaginations.

Female "performers" also are responsible for paying for the medical care, and in an industry in which there is frequent tearing of orifices, contraction of STIs, and long term injury which their male counterparts do not receive to the same degree (dudes are not getting gonorrhea in their eye), pay is significantly more comparable than you expect. Also, maybe you're completely unaware, the type of sex that women have in porn is much more dangerous to them than men. People who work in refuse collection, gardening, and unskilled construction work have legal protections that get exercised. The linked article does a very good in depth explanation of why "sex work" is not compatible with the standards we have for work in the US [1].

>"astrology is a starting point with zero correlation with who you are"

I would really doubt that it is zero, the relative position of the celestial bodies correlates with season. All sorts of human activities follow a yearly cycle, including birth rates and mortality rates. I have no doubt there is some correlation between astrological sign and personality.

I would take it further and say a good principle is that "everything is correlated with everything else", it is just a matter of the strength of the relationship. I will probably get downmodded for that, because it is in direct conflict the "null hypothesis" testing paradigm that has dominated data analysis for the last half century or so.
Thanks for elaborating. I think we fundamentally disagree, but I understand your perspective a lot better now.

That's what 95% of the companies in the world already do, because they're struggling to find qualified talent (at their price point - because not every company is SV-rich).

Only the companies with enough profit margins can afford to concern themselves with this inclusion/empowerment drivel, because they can hire "fluff" employees to boost their diversity or whatever other metrics they want to use to make them feel good about themselves.
