You should evaluate it on its own terms unencumbered. Is it worth it, is it not worth it (to you or to your country). Encumbering it with what other people or other societies is interesting but not useful to you.

If I were you, I'd take the deal. But that's me. After half a century or more of guerilla warfare, I'd think it was enough, even if some bad Marxist guys and gals get away with atrocities as well as extrajudicial government action also goes unpunished.

You risk more death, destruction, poverty, stunting of progress and having all your bright minds and entrepreneurs leave for more stable places exacerbating the issue further by ensuring prosperity is stunted and grievances unresolved.
I don't necessarily think the complaint is that they are incompetent because they are female. The complaint of gender bias is still valid even if the people who benefited from the bias are fully capable of the job. If it can be shown that the 80% women were not hired based on gender bias then the complaint is unjustified.
Two semi-random thoughts that struck me when reading this:

First, this Douglas Adams quote:

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

- Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

- Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

- Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

The second was this very insightful article on the dynamics of the evolution of sub-cultures: https://meaningness.com/metablog/geeks-mops-sociopaths

For the record, I've never been to Burning Man, nor seriously tempted to change that.
Thank your for a reasonable comment! There is indeed a lot of ignorance from the outside. There's a logic to many points and theories but definitely people should be more informed even here in HN.
Snarky comments aside, Microsoft was always targetting entreprises, think office365.

Windows botnet is somethijg completely seperate. They don't care about entreprises there, they only want data.

Do not conflate these two.

Google is 100% data, Microsoft is maybe 50.

If BP goes down, this is a huge opportunity for another site. Just like it was for BP when CL closed their section. Who is positioned to fill the void?
I don't think people are upset that 80% are female, I think it's that 80% changed to female. That stat is too high to be coincidental
You don't need DRM to enable your users to pay you for content.
This is why i still use xterm with the default bitmap font in xterm. 10pt vector fonts on <100dpi screens look just awful.
The criticism isn't that they are lagging HTML5 support in iOS(although it would be valid- that's no reason to sue), it's that they are specifically avoiding parts of the implementation to protect their platform. Things like full screen support, notifications, etc
Name ONE developed country that would accept zero jail time and political eligibility for someone convicted of multiple war crimes, with hundreds of years in cumulative prison sentences.

That is precisely my point. You are just one of many colombians who can't seem to make the connection between repeatedly helping criminals dodge justice and Colombia's current situation.

If you can call those accents "American" (subject of 2+ such scam calls here).
I got one of those calls and it sounded very credible. I called the number back and then I got a little nervous when the guy on the other end of the line seemed very uninterested and unprofessional. I don't how how far I would have gone if he had acted better.
> You can't end a war without leaving the past behind.

I found this article[1] on the idea well worth reading. The thesis is that long memories keep longstanding grudges alive, so the "forget" part of "forgive and forget" is itself important -- whatever that may say about respect for previous generations, leaving their battles behind can make your life better.

> I don't know if this is a sound legal interpretation of the AGPL though.

Exactly. AGPL was explicitly created to make all clients of the software be bound by its license. To say that the drivers have a different license makes no sense at all.
pfft. It was better next year.
Succeding would require tons of money, political expediency, and novel strategy from legal experts in French civil law, EU law, tech, and business.

So far the arguments seem weak. Apple scores a little lower on one test?

Some sites can't work offline due lack of service workers? This is a useful but niche use case so it would seem hard to rally massive public support for.

Apple would argue users are not being hurt anyway because you could trivially do what you want by wrapping your site in Cordova. Is a primary motivation here to avoid app revenue sharing for your product? If so I understand but that becomes a whole separate legal mountain to climb.
Huh, you know, I've never really noticed it as Xeno's Paradox applied that way before. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, since it can lead to such a different conclusion with the same information.
https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-06 has a very good description of Xenix starting on page 248. This was just before the IBM PC was announced.

In page 286 of https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1983-11-rescan one of the main advantages of MS-DOS 2.0 is supposed to be its Xenix compatibility. That is why MS-DOS 1 had CP/M style system calls while MS-DOS 2 added Unix style ones.

At that time Microsoft was thinking that eventually MS-DOS and Xenix would be merged into a single operating system (I read it in yet another Byte article but can't look for it right now) but things ended up going in a different direction.
It's good at starting tech cos, but not so good at running them.
Mark Stoodlet's VM talk from last year is really good. And Gracie's talk on Ruby from February was pretty cool as well. I wonder if they are in touch with koh1 and the other people working on 3x3.

I've never heard anyone argue that developing native apps on two platforms (iOS + Android) is cheaper than developing a single web app that works on every device (including desktop).

I'm genuinely curious - is that actually a commonly held opinion?
If you replace the object in the analogy is the thought experiment still the same?
Back then I built systems with Xenix on a PC-AT that had three simultaneous users, one on the console and two WYSE-60 terminals attached to the serial ports. The system ran a database server and the applications that I built to manage factory inventory and orders.

Mind you, on a 4.77 Mhz PC at home, I ran Windows 1.0 and used it to multitask two sessions. In the foreground GUI I used Notepad to write C code, while the DOS session in the background ran the compiler. Back then compiling took a long time. Few people even then realized that Windows 1.0 did real pre-emptive multitasking on the original IBM-PC between the front-end GUI and a backend DOS session.
> Don't forget to use as few abstractions as possible

Huh? I'm perfectly fine with abstractions. Just not with abstractions that are suboptimally designed and implemented.

> Don't forget to use as few abstractions as possible

Maybe you're confusing abstraction with runtime dispatch?

> every function call takes valuable time and computation.

Stroustrup's (whom otherwise I don't regard as a great language designer) principle applies: abstractions must elaborate to the best possibly code you would've manually written.
Wells Fargo global headcount is about 250k. Less than half is in the US.
On your first point; alright, then my mistake.

But my comment was really in response to your second line here. I disagreed with your assertion. The alternative is that this editor doesn't exist, meaning "no editor at all" with this specific featureset/design/etc. And if this editor is better than a less bloated editor, why shouldn't it exist?
Wells Fargo was touting its new account metrics to investors in addition to the typical revenue numbers. The idea being that if Wells Fargo is gaining that many new customers and new accounts, it would lead to a lot more revenue in the future.

Wells Fargo pushed its employees so hard to open accounts because there was a benefit to doing so.
Thank you, that really does explain a lot. If the economics are good I am surprised that this hasn't been tried in other places in the world.

Saudi Arabia installed center pivots in the desert to grow wheat back in the seventies. I believe at the time the US price of wheat was $3.00 per bushel and the Saudi's production cost was $12 a bushel but they still thought it was worthwhile to have some home grown wheat.

Well that's not what native means. Beyond that, the issue isn't that Safari is not implementing HTML5 features fast enough, it's that they are choosing to not implement specific ones in order to protect their platform. You just don't see that from other browser vendors (today)
People tend to forget before the PC all the other systems had vendor specific hardware and with OSes being burned in ROMs, upgrading meant buying a new computer, sounds familiar?

Maybe it just that "most users don't give a damn" about copyright, and as such don't care if what they do is legal or illegal with current copyright laws. In order to care about copyright licenses, first users need to care about what happens when they don't follow it.

If you don't want to wait, want to experiment with something else, learn a new language, etc., Rust is awesome.

Obviously the counter argument to this is, "but there's 30+ years of C++ in production", but be honest, who actually wants to work on a 30 year old codebase?

Here's a mystery to me: the failure of brain training games vs. the success of meditation.

The science for brain training games is not encouraging. A number of studies have found that they do not produce generalizable mental improvements.

Meanwhile, every time I turn around I run into a study of mindfulness meditation that did produce a generalizable improvement to mental abilities.

For example, I was just reading one about how meditation can reduce pain perception by 40% and that measurement was backed up by MRI imaging of reduced brain activity in pain centers.

Let's call meditation a brain game that works.

The mystery then is why is there only one game that works? Will we ever find a second?

As they claim in the Q&A posted on Twitter, this encourages the process and celebrates the effort of president Santos to reach this far. If we do not reach an agreement to end this war it's a problem of other forces in the country and the ignorance of our people but for sure not by Santos failure. If we don't solve this for good, his brutal shift of the conflict from war to negotiation is already a great result.

> If someone wants first-class support, build for the OS.

Yes, that was my argument: Apple is favoring native apps.

Developing native apps helps Apple further build and exploit its ecosystem, and pushes us further down the rabbit hole.
Good. Now perhaps make a study about sensationalized article titles like this one. The conclusion in the title is inaccurate.

FTA:
"Overall, Simons and his colleagues conclude that the evidence [...] is “inadequate”."

and

"it’s possible future research will provide new evidence that is more favourable to brain training"
Yeah I agree with what you're saying, as I said I was looking at the problem somewhat naively.

When you talk about having each tenant's host do you mean a dedicated application server for each host? The current setup we have is that we have multiple tenant databases but only two application servers providing functionality to them, so there's a switching cost on the application servers because they can't maintain a connection pool to the databases (they also have to know the credentials for the databases.

It seems excessive if you have a 100 tenants to have your infrastructure for serving the application replicated 100 times but maybe we're just haven't quite built our system correctly yet.

If your manager pushed you out because you are gay, that is discriminatory. I'm truly sorry to hear that and I hope something is done at LinkedIn so that environment is changed.

However, there are usually two sides to a story. I hope you are also considering the possibility that it had to do with your work, your work ethic, your ability to work with others, your ability to take direction, etc.

Speaking as someone on the other side, I hate PIPs too as well as the institutional performance review processes. I wish I could get rid of low performers easily but it is pain.

> that's a terrible situation as well, but it has nothing to do with how reprehensible it is to purchase sex from a prostitute.

If you take "morality" out of the picture, there is no difference, one is selling a one time sexual act for a negotiated amount, the other is selling a lifetime of sex + work for food and shelter. Both are economical deals. The difference is purely the spin one's willing to put on them, in other word, opinions, we obviously disagree, no point arguing further.

> if a man didn't think that their own personal and sexual gratification was more important than a woman's bodily autonomy

What you describe is rape, where there is no consent. If two adults agree to have sex, society should not be concerned on why, and not interfere.

Different people have different level of hormones and sexual needs. Saying things like "people should be less sexual" is not going to solve any problem.

> The danger to people participating in drug trials is far, far less than the danger to people participating in prostitution.

Because society has made prostitution illegal and is not giving the same level of protection to prostitutes as to other citizens. Prostitution should be regulated and made safe.
...but the rational, sensible solution would be ruined by NIMBYs and political corruption and horribly exploitative rent-seeking.

You almost have to fix the problem before anyone even realizes it is a problem to get it done at a reasonable cost.
Okay, this whole theme is getting a bit annoying: Only if you expect the peace prize to be awarded in the same way as physics prize.

The people awarding the physics prize seem to be waiting until they are absolutely certain the discoveries are important. So correct me if I'm wrong, but it's mostly given to old men for things they've done decades ago, not for outstanding accomplishments in the past year.

Unlike the peace prize works. Which is by the way awarded by politicians.

Regarding Obama's prize, Wikipedia has this quote:

Jagland said the committee was influenced by a speech Obama gave about Islam in Cairo in June 2009, the president's efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and climate change, and Obama's support for using established international bodies such as the United Nations to pursue foreign policy goals.[11] The New York Times reported that Jagland shrugged off the question of whether "the committee feared being labeled naïve for accepting a young politician's promises at face value", stating that "no one could deny that 'the international climate' had suddenly improved, and that Mr. Obama was the main reason...'We want to embrace the message that he stands for.'

I think it's hard to quite grasp how much Bush and his war rhetoric was despised in intellectual circles in Europe. Then he was re-elected, and it was really as if Americans were hellbent on the us-vs-them attitude.

It's too bad that Obama later started executing people remotely, but that's the problem with giving out awards for something done in the past year, it may be a better motivator and much more relevant, but you might end up handing out a prize to someone who later doesn't look like he or she still deserves it.
> Hillary clinton is not in jail

Ugh not this again. Hillary is not in jail because her actions did not rise to the level of criminal prosecution. Look at General Petraeus. He willfully gave highly classified material to his mistress. He got a plea deal and didn't serve any time. So how is it that Clinton who did not intentionally divulge classified material nor put an authorized server on the classified network, now deserves to be punished more harshly than Petraeus? That doesn't make any sense.

(2) A guarantee that dynamically typed code won't break abstractions defined in statically typed code.
