I assumed that we where talking dedicated hardware here and not cloud.

We know from experience that public cloud is a huge money sinkhole compared to running your own cloud on bare metal (we use proxmox).

I'm sure you know operating costs better than we do though, we don't have our own Datacenter.

>Why are companies with female % that is similar to the female CS graduate % considered sexist but a company that overhires female engineers (to such a degree as to be suspicious of sexism) is seen as diverse?

Nobody said that except you, which betrays your agenda.

Good engineering talent is in short supply and has been for two decades now. It certainly won't do any harm to explore alternate recruiting channels.
I have seen strawberries grown in coconut husks in Malaysia, apparently they do work like soil, with some extra advantages.
The need of more or less fertilizer probably depends on what plant you're growing and which productivity targets you have.
Maybe I'm just being cynical, but IMO this isn't as much as about "doing the right thing and establishing consequence" as it is an opportunity to get something for cheaper.
> Is it possible to have a cube of 1nm transistors. Like a 100 million ^ 3. The cube would have size of 10cm w.d.h.

Probably, but I suspect operating it would cause it to melt or explode :-) We could probably manufacturer 3D chips today (or more 3D than they are today), but from what I understand cooling them starts to become a major issue. (Not involved in chip design or manufacturing)

Pao doesn't deserve that label at all -- later info showed she probably fought for free speech on reddit as much as anyone -- but that doesn't come from the world's bias, merely reddit's. It was after all Alexis Ohanian who made the decision[1] that got Ellen Pao fired. Holmes, on the other hand, isn't a bad CEO, she's a scam artist. So if those are the "bad CEOs" you've been hearing about, you've been hearing from some pretty misinformed people.

Arguably the founders of Sun were pretty bad businessmen (but excellent engineers). Tim Cook's reign at Apple has been questionable. Eric Schmidt is remembered more for being some sort of Machiavellian New World Order type who is way too friendly with the State department. Steve Ballmer is sort of like Meyer in that he was blamed for not saving a company whose market was simply getting smaller. It's possible that you don't hear about bad male CEOs as much because male CEOs aren't notable simply for being CEOs.

I think that Meyer missed an opportunity to beat Google at privacy by taking it seriously. Yahoo was excellently situated for that. Once they're part of Verizon, though, it's too late. On the other hand, Ellen Pao's primary mistake was being both female and famous on reddit.

As an encryption one time pad:
It has a very simple solution space where the pseudo random sequence starts.
Say you know the file type encrypted (pdf, doc), then you can get away with probably bruteforcing 1-3 letter at start to obtain the 'increasing number'.

In the author's example, the increasing number starts at zero, so the bruteforce is 28 guesses to check the first letter (assuming you know the encrypted block and the filetype)

As a hashing sequence generator, all the solution will be chained from (0..28)+i, so... all it takes is to hash to find 28+i and compare with the generated sequence. Then you can predict the sequence from that point on, which is deterministic.

I'm 45. Feels like there are 1000 directions I could go to improve my skills, from soft skills to different programming models and industries. As long as someone will pay me to, I will program for money, and when they stop paying me I'll keep on learning and coding for fun anyway.

Why do you NEED a 64 bit int? Why not 32 bit? You're not storing pointers in a database. (And then you can implement your 32 bit int in terms of the 53 bits of int-capacity in a double.)
This seems like a question you could answer without user input by scraping HN threads and extracting the info from the profile pages, since the exact metric you're looking for is under the "created" key on those pages.

It's condescending to women to tell them that what they choose to do with their bodies is not their free choice. It's deeply patronising and actually an anti female argument.

I think the actual moral problem with commercial sex is that it commodifies something that some people see as sacred. I think it turns on one's view of government as moral guardian vs individual liberty. Governments aren't usually very good moral actors, which is why we usually limit their moral policing.

No, the "theory of everything" refers to the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity. Completely different topic.

If you think that's nuts, you should look at Medicare Part D:

By the design of the program, the federal government is not permitted to negotiate prices of drugs with the drug companies, as federal agencies do in other programs. The Department of Veterans Affairs, which is allowed to negotiate drug prices and establish a formulary, has been estimated to pay between 40%[27] and 58%[28] less for drugs, on average, than Medicare Part D.

Although generic versions of [frequently prescribed to the elderly] drugs are now available, plans offered by three of the five [exemplar Medicare Part D] insurers currently exclude some or all of these drugs from their formularies.…Further, prices for the generic versions are not substantially lower than their brand-name equivalents. The lowest price for simvastatin (generic Zocor) 20 mg is 706 percent more expensive than the VA price for brand-name Zocor. The lowest price for sertraline HCl (generic Zoloft) is 47 percent more expensive than the VA price for brand-name Zoloft."

— Families USA 2007 "No Bargain: Medicare Drug Plans Deliver High Prices"
Estimating how much money could be saved if Medicare had been allowed to negotiate drug prices, economist Dean Baker gives a "most conservative high-cost scenario" of $332 billion between 2006 and 2013 (approximately $50 billion a year). Economist Joseph Stiglitz in his book entitled The Price of Inequality estimated a "middle-cost scenario" of $563 billion in savings "for the same budget window".[29]:48

Former Congressman Billy Tauzin, R–La., who steered the bill through the House, retired soon after and took a $2 million a year job as president of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the main industry lobbying group. Medicare boss Thomas Scully, who threatened to fire Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster if he reported how much the bill would actually cost, was negotiating for a new job as a pharmaceutical lobbyist as the bill was working through Congress.[30][31] A total of 14 congressional aides quit their jobs to work for the drug and medical lobbies immediately after the bill's passage.[32]

"The way you slaughter a pig is <...> shoot them in the forehead. This gives them a concussion and drops them, but does not kill them."

I'm not a farmer (though your lifestyle is a dream of mine), but couldn't you just use bigger caliber? I'm sure .45 would do the trick. Shooting and killing a pig instantly in one blow is one thing, but putting a knife through a still living creature.. that would be too much for me.

I would suggest the shared experiences and better relationships happen in real life when you commit 100%.

We know that IRL we can be in physical proximity with one another, but perhaps it's the joint commitment to the experience that builds the meaning.

Better relationships probably are built on more commitment, not less.
There are plenty of markets where competition drives the margins to near zero. I'm not saying medicine can or should be one of them, but something along that trend is wholly possible.

The government _does_ have a role in this. They need to be there to foster the healthy competition environment with appropriate legislation and regulation. Part of that healthy regulation is punishing highly illegal "no aggression pacts" and enforcing antitrust laws to prevent mergers that would suck out the competition.

Then people can just go ahead make it, instead of complaining about lazy developers locking themselves into Jetbrains tools or eclipse or trying to do everything from within Emacs or Vim.

Right now you've got very basic refactoring tools for Go and JRefactor. Maybe a few other tools I don't know.

But in that case I don't see what's the point of running this tool from the CLI instead of configuring VIM/Emacs/{insert your favourite IDE or Editor} to run it on the function under your cursor with just a few keystrokes.
The difference between classical and quantum is not really analogous to the difference between digital and analog, it's the difference between real numbers and Turing machines (classical) and complex numbers (quantum).

But the ability of classical math to model all this is truly extraordinary.

There is always an in-group, it's just a matter of which one. I have worked at places where I was part of the in-group, and places where I wasn't. Sometimes it was nationality. Others, the school you came in. The gender divide is not a big issue in some places, while in others I've ended up talking to HR about harassment that I saw in front of my own eyes. I've been the shoulder to cry on, literally, in one of those cases. And don't get me started with discrimination due to sexual orientation.

It's really easy to know when you are not part of the majority though: When you don't see any differences and everything looks cheery and happy, congratulations, you are not treated as a minority.

We can't really boats about the industry when we have 15% women and about under 10% African-American. I've worked at a place where we had a large architecture meeting: 25 architects, zero women. The company boasted 50-50 gender split, but with vert few exceptions, you could make a great guess of role and gender. Guess that men sitting in an engineering pod are developers or managers, and that women are either QA or systems analysts, and you'll get it right. The testers had the same CS background as the developers, except they were paid a good 30% less. The rest of the women came from recruiting and HR. You could also guess which department they worked on just by looks too.

I know four women that have dropped out of software engineering in the last year, just because the toll of being treated differently made them lose any love they had for the industry, and are now doing jobs that pay way less, but where they don't have to work twice as hard as a man to get half the recognition. One of them is rather unattractive by your typical standards. When she quit her last job, many people didn't even know she had been working there for years: She might as well have been socially invisible.

Maybe you've been very lucky in your career, and haven't seen the discrimination, or maybe you really are part of the in-group and don't know about it.
So, option three, referencing 100s of years ago.

Ok. Fair reference I suppose, if a bit odd.

Your implication that I'm a stupid racist is noted and honestly was expected.

Curious if you have any further reference regarding my inability to read/comprehend English/history or if it was just baseless ad hominem? I feel I should be more well versed in my moral/intellectual inadequacy.
I think it somewhat boils down to intention. In the case of Wells Fargo, opening fraudulent accounts couldn't have accrued any benefit for the bank. It seems more likely that it would have increased overall cost for the company. Yes, the fraud is attributable to stressing too much on reaching an upselling goal, but it's hard to imagine it's a thing that CEO would have wanted. Should we start punishing people for managerial oversight?

LA is literally sucking them dry with the aqueduct

That's not really how aqueducts work, They don't suck water from mountains, they collect and divert it. Rivers and lakes downstream mountains lose access water. The mountains don't lose any water that they wouldn't have anyway. You can blame gravity, not aqueducts or Los Angeles.

No, we are living in a quantum universe (or a quantum multiverse if you prefer). We don't yet know whether space and time are discrete, because we have not yet unified QM and relativity. If space and time turn out to be discrete then yes, the multiverse would be essentially a cellular automaton. But if they aren't then it (probably) isn't.
In the book Deep Work by Cal Newport, he uses Mayer's firing of remote employees as an example of a toxic work culture that values signalling over production. Here's the excerpt:

> In 2013, for example, Yahoo's new CEO Marissa Mayer banned employees from working at home. She made this decision after checking the server logs for the virtual private network that Yahoo employees use to remotely log in to company servers. Mayer was upset because the employees working from home didn't sign in enough throughout the day. She was, in some sense, punishing her employees for nor spending more time checking e-mail (one of the primary reasons to log in to the servers). "If you're not visibly busy," she signaled, "I'll assume you're not productive."

"Batching" email to specific times in the day is a pretty well-known productivity win, especially for people whose job it is to engage in deep work.
If it was their free choice, they wouldn't need to be paid for it, and they could be as selective or as indiscriminate as they like with partner selection and frequency. It's not about anything sacred (unless you consider basic human rights sacred, I guess).

History repeats itself. I'm also "old" and when I saw the first presentation on Angular many years ago, the google engineer started by instantiating the controller from the view. So blatantly wrong, yet noone reacted. I saw the same sh*t go down with JSP, and though to myself that I couldn't be bothered with going through the same thing twice. So I left the presentation and never looked back. That decision served me well, very happy that I'm off that bandwagon. Still love new tech though, so I'm not backwards in that sense.

Your argument hinges on the idea that exchange is inherently coercive. I don't buy it.
Yes, I agree, framed this way we are more or less living in VR since the days of TV, telephone and radio. But I wonder , there seems to be a difference, people can become unconsciously and unnaturally emotionally attached and dependent on this. Can they still manage themselves when the internet and VR falls away? I mean, viaiting eachother and going out walking in nature is infinitaly better (when you are in > 1h physical proximity).
Will this technology on average provide more meaningful authentic communication and activities or less? You could argue that the medium is not relevant, but the medium pushes and shapes our bodies, minds and imagination to conform to a certain way of relating which might not necessarily be 'better'. Yes playing Tabletop Simulator boardgames with people across countries is very cool and conversing and working together with dedicated people on the same project this way is as well, but it takes dedication, setting boundaries, clear rules and focus. The same goes for navigating the internet - before you know it you have aimlessly browsed hundreds of sites, send dozens of replies to forum posts, and what have you really meaningfully contributed? It takes time to learn this, just as it takes time to read books, read about and apply research, learn nettiquette and living a balanced life. Some people decided a mobile or a TV didn't add enough value and live without one. Will you be able to make that decision more easily with VR or the internet?
The key difference is that the economic distance between our bodies and VR technology is very high. Small is beautiful and less is more. How can you integrate VR in a minimal lifestyle?

At SIGGRAPH 2015 there were a couple demonstration booths where groups had stuck sensors and/or cameras to VR googles and used them to render expressions on your avatar's face.

Here's a demo from one of the groups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgKkEnaaSDc - they used strain gauges inside the goggles to track muscle movement of the upper face, and stuck a camera on a stick hanging off the googles to capture lower face movement.

Here's another one that uses photo-reflective sensors attached to a set of eyeglasses, which can be worn inside a VR headset. For this demo I had to remove my prescription glasses, so it was unfortunately quite hard to say how well it worked! https://vimeo.com/132772990

It depends on the survey mechanism: If you are only selecting scores from 1-5, aren't saying a word, and the minimum unit of aggregation is 10 people, and it's all handled by a third party, you can be truthful. But any time you enter text, nothing is really anonymous.

There can still be issues of group identification: If a manager gets far worse scores than their peers, nothing guarantees that higher management will actually do something about the manager, vs believing that they just have a team with bad attitudes, and tell the manager to fire the person that they think si the biggest troublemaker, but if that's the case, chances are you wanted to get out of Dodge anyway.
