> It made me wonder if nude men are considered more pornographic than men.

In some places, definitely yes. The laws and regulations imposed by different countries, states, media companies, and other bodies, and how they are sometimes "over interpreted" when being careful not to trip over the rules, do vary but there is some bias towards not showing the penis at least.

In some contexts genitalia is banned but breasts and buttocks are fine leaving more room for a sexual-ish image of woman to be acceptably published. In other contexts genitalia can be show as long as it isn't in a obviously aroused state, but other shows of arousal (blushing, other body language, suggestive word choice, ...) are fine, which will likely bias against male genitalia being publishable unless close up (and in contexts where the question is even raised a close-up shot is less likely).

(Massive generalism here, but...) there is also a general opinion that the use of the female form can be defended as artistic more than the male - though I couldn't tell you if this is a symptom of other cultural biases or a cause of some of them.

Attitudes to sexual preference are going to factor in too: those anti-homosexual opinions/feelings (conscious or otherwise) are more likely to react strongly to images of male sexuality than female (the old joke "I support homosexuality as long as both the chicks are hot" has some basis in reality). This is more common in men in my experience, especially man of certain age ranges and backgrounds which are currently over represented in parts of the "traditional" media industry and other seats of influence, making the bias more visible.

All that and a number of other interrelated factors I don't have time to type out make it less common to see a full-body or otherwise genitalia-containing shot of a naked male than one of a naked female - so when one is shown it is more likely to illicit a stronger reaction.

(I avoided using examples of differences in the consumption of pornographic output between different sexualities, as there is a lot of reporting bias in studies in that area both in terms of what questions the studies ask, how truthful the subjects answer, and what gets selected for publication)

Ask HN: Anyone Else on a “Technical Advisory Board” (esp for a startup)
I have been asked to act on a technical advisory board for a startup in the U.K. - it's been going ok for a month or two.

Humans perceive and classify race. No-one's disagreeing on that. "Race is a social construct" means that it isn't based 100% on biology or genetics.

Traffic laws are also social constructs. Yet we can build machines to follow them.

Can confirm. I'm living in a sears house right now. A bungalow style built in 1918. I'm regularly surprised by the nice little touches and the way the whole thing really works as a unit.

The only real "problem" is the small size of a bungalow's reduced upper floor. People obviously used to spend less time in their bedrooms and more downstairs together or outside.

Which I guess tells you something.

Agreed, I bought a used one 10 years ago and I'm sitting on it right now. Before that I was replacing foam office chairs every few years due to wear or degassing, but not so with the Aeron. The only maintenance I've had to do is replace the foam at the seat's edge and clean it occasionally.

The build quality of these chairs is amazing when I consider the tens of thousands of hours I've been sitting in this thing.

Yeah, Humans perceive and classify race (accurately or inaccurately) and that's why it can't be a reliable indicator or cornerstone for any reliable scientific system esp. when taking into account the "fluid" or "conflicting" nature of some of the prevailing definitions of races out there.

Can you show your sources? Others appear to disagree with you.
If you want to learn the ins and outs of creating a full web application with a database, users and forms, then choose RoR or Django. I would go with RoR since I think it has more mind-share, but Django is fine. Of course, RoR, might just confuse you, among the Ruby syntax, Coffee script, all the magic, it might be difficult to learn. But, if you want the full-stack skills, then jump in, and you'll be part of the largest full-stack ecosystem. Whether it's "fashionable" or not seems kind of silly. I guess all kinds of isomorphic JS stacks are fashionable now...

If you want to make single page apps, then learn React. But you still need all the server-side stuff eventually, like a data store, web server, API service, and probably a web app stack too.

You should pick a language you feel comfortable with, then the stack. I would just use Rails, Django or ASP.NET Core 1.0, Sqlite as my DB, an ORM that comes with the stack, and start making traditional MVC pages with forms. use Bootstrap for the CSS.
> but all of those things differ from an all-encompassing restriction on the freedom to travel into a region by mandatory choke points on roads into that region.

>but people reacted quite strongly. what on earth am i missing here?

try driving through the panhandle of Texas while brown or black. It's not exactly a choke point because I could go a few hundred miles out of my way or fly, but, at the time, I believed the same thing you do. I learned the hard way that often times the written law has no bearing on reality. You can say it's unconstitutional all you want, but that doesn't change what millions of people face. The reality on the ground matters more so than some dusty old document written a few hundred years ago, especially since, like a religious text, people interpret it in wildly different ways.

>yes there is even racial profiling by local police forces (which is not constitutional), but all of those things differ from an all-encompassing restriction on the freedom

There is the America as it likes to see itself and the America that truly exists. Just because there is a document written a few hundred years ago that expressly forbids the restriction on freedom of movement doesn't mean that it meshes with reality.
I am more and more of the opinion that you should NOT use a js framework for long term projects (that span more than a few years), but just use vanilla js with some libraries that you can easily switch when something better comes out.
Vue.js is here today, and it is nice, but tomorrow gintzx.js comes out, and the community will be flabbergasted and everyone will use it and vue.js will slowly die.
Making big complex webapps with just some libs is absolutely possible. Just choose them wisely and make a good directory structure.

Every time when this happens I ask myself only one question.

What about all those hacked servers that we don't know that are hacked yet?

There are ( and I'm pretty sure ) lots of hackers that do this on a daily basis, but don't try to do anything malicious on a large scale ( like dumping the whole db of customers, DDoS, etc. ). They probably target medium-large or small companies' servers, put a backdoor there and analyze. Either stealing some business secrets or leave it like that for one of the dark days when some political-corporate person will need their help.

How profilers work
Great post. I've seen first hand the problems that occur with all the uncontrolled 'state' in Jenkins installations when something goes wrong... lots of manual work!

It's like moving Jenkins towards a static website model where you can always get back to a known state quickly and easily.

At hyper.sh we've been working to take this a step further by providing fast starting (couple of seconds), secure and highly-parallelized on-demand CI worker nodes.

We started with Buildbot (released yesterday: https://blog.hyper.sh/serverless-ci-hyper-docker-integration...) and the Jenkins plugin is coming up next.

That makes a dream situation whereby you have a Jenkins master that can be easily restored from version control and all workers are created on-demand and billed per second meaning that there is no worker node maintenance at all and you only pay when you're building.

We're calling it 'Serverless CI'. Would love to talk to you about this further. You can find contact details on the website if interested!
...which actually does handle truncation properly. For some reason.
The other problem is that cheap chairs will often feel pretty good when you first sit in them. But because they're made with cheap, low-density foam, they quickly pancake, and lose any semblance of comfort and ergonomics they might have had.

I used to do the $100 chair every year or two thing too. Then I bought a Steelcase Leap (for considerably more than $100), and while it's only been a year or so, it looks and feels as good as when I bought it. I would have loved to have found one for $200-300, but even buying new it was well worth it.

Watch this brilliant video, I think the author nailed it:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=sBzRwzY7G-k

tl;dr:

- Learn Node, Django, or Ruby if you want to do the backend(personally, I HIGHLY recommend Django. It's extremely awesome and is the perfect way to start in my opinion).

- Learn HTML/CSS/JS on the front end, then Sass and jQuery, then, if you want to be an advanced frontend developer - Webpack, React, and Redux.

I think this is the optimal way to go right now.
I can highly recommend Hinton's course on Coursera - https://www.coursera.org/learn/neural-networks

I don't think you should look at it from the standpoint of what's popular as it really depends. Instead take a look at the company, team experience, road map, learning opportunities, size and stage of company, etc.

If you enjoy learning and exploring parts of the stack in some depth ensure that vision matches up with the role and it's responsibilities.

When AI Journalism Goes Bad
> This is a good counterargument to anyone who says Samsung just copies Apple :D

To be fair, Apple got there first, although I doubt they're proud of it, and probably they were not the absolute first.

A very small number of iPhone 4 (or was it 4S?) had defective batteries which caught fire.

What Samsung can claim an absolute first for, though, is providing replacements which are just as dangerous.
Yep but my argument still holds true especially in the era of IoT risks are now becoming physical. Bugs earlier used to only impact people financially, emotionally but now risks are physical.

Combine this trend with sunglasses and CV-defeating patterns on the masks, you should be good to go.

I bought two Aeron chairs, $10 each at separate times.

The first chair was being pushed down the street by a guy who looked borderline homeless. He was about to go into the Bowling Green subway station. I said "Are you selling that chair", he said "How much would you offer?". I offered $10, he said "great, I didn't really want to carry this all the way home". I had a pang of regret and thought I had possibly walked into some type of high design sting operation. I asked "Do you own this chair?", he replied "My office was renovating and they were throwing it out." Good enough for me.

The second chair came a couple of weeks later. I was walking down Broadway by the bull, about 100 yards from the first place. One of the street vendors was sitting on an Aeron. I asked if he would sell me the chair, he said sure, $20. As I was inspecting it, a woman walked by and said "That's a nice chair, it's not a real Aeron like they have at my office, but it's a nice chair". The hydraulic cylinder was broken on this one, the chair only sat at the lowest position, when you would pick it up, the cylinder extended. I offered him $10 and he accepted. It was a genuine Aeron. I ordered a new cylinder for this chair and it is like new, the cylinder was around $90.

Both of these sales happened within my first 3 months of moving downtown. I have never seen another Aeron chair for sale on that street or any other. I looked.

Eh, I don't think it's HN being fond of Tesla. I think it's just that Tesla (rather, Elon Musk) is very good at grabbing headlines and people are sometimes not as well informed about the state-of-the-art as they wish they were.

Same thing happens with other companies of course. Er, Apple, in particular. If you ask most people "what was the first smartphone?", they will probably say "the first iPhone"... even though there were a few earlier devices that used the same tech and would have been called "smartphones" today (by the same token as the original iPhone). They just never caught on in the same way as the iPhone did.

It's marketing, innit. I don't think you can win against it.
That's the first sentence of the Wiki article:

"The cross-race effect (sometimes called cross-race bias, other-race bias or own-race bias) refers to the tendency to more easily recognize members of one's own race."

This premise is not well grounded in facts as evidence can show that some people esp. racially unaware, uneducated or desensitized don't fall into this category. To support their claim, they cite a US-only study which can't be sufficient to extrapolate for all humanity as a universal fact since we all know that US society is divided along racial line and it's deeply ingrained into people's minds from childhood.

It's like their caste system and with a highly cultural not scientific element to it.

Color me skeptic about this theory.

> React has an unfamiliar syntax and the cognitive load to "get it" while not huge, was going to take time.

Maybe because I have a background in functional programming, it only took me an hour or two to get React itself. The basic concept is dead simple declarative programming: declare a React component some state, and it renders it. The lifecycle adds a bit more to understand, but most of us have dealt with lifecycles somewhere, whether in WordPress, Android, etc. And then there's local component `state`. But that's it.

However, what's commonly accepted as the React ecosystem (meaning webpack, babel, flux/redux, eslint, sometimes flow etc.) takes a lot longer to understand. And can be quite (perhaps overly) complex.
I do think the main things holding back the killer app are software and data though, over hardware. I see a killer app for VR (or AR) being online shopping, specifically for things like clothing that you have to see 'in person' to choose. Imagine being able to buy clothes online, and see how they actually look on a life-size copy of yourself right in the same room. I can't imagine something like that not existing someday, and once it does, I expect I won't be the only one to buy the vast majority of my clothes online (like I already do with almost everything else).
