> I am less inclined to believe there is systemic bias against women, and minorities, and instead a culture difference between groups who are well represented in engineering, and groups which are not.

This reveals a complete misunderstanding of how "systemic bias" occurs and persists.

[Edited with further thoughts]

"Cultural differences" don't just appear out of nowhere. Culture itself is an amalgamation of different human experiences that have combined and recombined over tens of thousands of years. It's not static. The things you deem "cultural differences" have many causes, and "differences" can and do change all the time.

When we throw up our hands and say "cultural differences", it implies that we don't need to ask why such differences might exist and whether we should actively seek to change them. That's an important conversation.

"Systemic bias" may or may not exist in this case, but if you think cultural differences themselves can't lead to systemic bias then you are mistaken.
Sounds interesting. I can, but it's not much fun living in a country where very little is happening. Is there still stuff happening in Greece, or has the economy been thoroughly fucked up by the austerity measures? At first glance, for example, taxes still look low compared to other EU countries.

I have a wealthy friend in the UK, and I want to a party there once thrown by some wealthy greek shipping magnates. They had sold their shipping empire for billions in 2007 and bought it back in 2012 for hundreds of millions. They left the country shortly afterwards. Have all the wealthy greeks left the country? Or is there still an opportunity to do business?
The opposing argument is that if you spread that potential rewards around a bit more, you'll get more people working long hours for the good of he company, and not 1-2 doing it alone.
Enough people have given reasons why Protobufs (and other schema-based interchange formats) are different from the unstructured JSON/BSON/TSON/whatever.

But if you are using a schema there are now far better alternatives to Protobufs. If you're primarily sending data over the network I've found Google's Flatbuffers to be great. For writing to disk Capn'Proto is similar and equally good. Receiving market data where every nanosecond matters? Simple Binary Encoding (SBE).

All of these formats employ some form of code generation to extract values from what are essentially cleverly packed structs. All data is sent little endian and follow machine word sizes. Not truly cross-language but Flatbuffers has native support for C/C++, Python, Java, Go, C# and 3rd party support for Rust.

> (If we're comparing based on cost, not on time/convenience.)

Which is exactly what we are comparing. I specifically said easy-to-make because naturally, making things from scratch can be extremely cheap, but people don't always have the time, energy or even skill to do that.

It's especially apparent for single people or couples without kids. I can get two burrito bowls from Chipotle for $15 on my way home and not have any dishes to clean up, spend $9 on home made fajitas + an hour cooking & cleaning, or and $12 on frozen enchiladas and just do dishes afterwards.

So, in my world (and probably that of most childless millenials), restaurants and ready-made meals are in competition for my meal dollars to some degree. After comparing the overall costs, we've just decided that our two busy-day dinners will be 1) pasta and 2) Chipotle -- as in, we literally plan eating out on our weekly menu. It's tastier, fresher, and probably more healthy too (than frozen/boxed meals).

> Amazon is creating a race-to-the-bottom with free shipping

This hasn't been true for a while. For at least several years they've been going in the other direction with free shipping. They've raised the minimum purchase requirement for getting free shipping twice in the last few years ($25 to $35 to $49) and the other way to get "free" shipping isn't free, it's $99/year and you have to make a certain number of orders per year to get it to amortize to a reasonable shipping cost (which still won't be free.)
While I understand the benefits of blockchain tech, doesn't it waste resources by constantly requiring more and more energy to keep the blockchain running?
One reason why Wikileaks should not wish full public transparency is that they don't want to create any barrier for would-be leakers to start talking to them. Because then they won't get as many leaks.

This is exactly the rationale behind why reporters frequently wish to keep their own sources private, even while they are busy publishing things that other organizations wish they wouldn't.
Those labels in the example are confusing.
Instead of string, binary, integer, float,timestamp please use something like name, password, age, height, sessiontime.

Using string and binary is worse than using foo and bar.
I think y'all are proving the appeal of "free shipping". Retailers provide convenience, and people expect that figuring out the nooks and crannies of shipping costs is part of the service.

If it were about cost and not convenience, Jet's algorithms would've beaten out Amazon.

You're missing the point. The point isn't what's actually happening in the world, whether racism actually exists, or what actual solutions there might be. The point is to scream "racism" as loudly as possible so you can signal your virtue to your peers and get clicks. After all, if you don't cry "racism" every 5 minutes, how will all of your friends know you're opposed to racism?
Protobuf have a binary size bloat issue compared to JSON.

JSON wins for similar reasons why HTTP 1.1 won. It's a human readable, simple format and performant enough the majority of development cases. Human readable makes debugging easier.

I hope with tjson it will help increase parser speeds with it's type hints.
I've worked for places that will not say anything about you at all. Nothing. They refuse to even say if you worked there or not, instead referring you to a service they use called The Work Number or something like that.

If you enjoy value inflation of your assets, be prepared to pay appropriate property taxes that go hand in hand with that. Not sure why those people expect to have their cake and eat it to, at the cost of all the other taxpayers.

Good question. Maybe target using some kind of heuristics? We can figure out who is loading our imgs: ip addresses, requesting browser details, load time, approximate location (city, state, country), what website is the user visiting (can figure out what they are interested it) etc. We can build anonymous profiles of users. Ofcourse, the bigger the network, more precise the heuristics..

What about privacy? Do the block chain technology offer any solutions for protecting the privacy of the fact that a transaction has been made. There are many situations where A would want to keep it a secret that a transaction was made with B.

I'm okay with waiting for the right opportunity because I really enjoy my job outside of the horrible IT situation: my boss is awesome, the people I work with are awesome, there is a lot of variety in the role, and I get to make a lot of decisions.

I found an internship, and my roommate has found his last two full-time jobs through "Who's hiring?". I haven't checked the thread recently, but I appreciated the early days when some companies had a filter for people coming from HN (e.g. "email hn@yourcompany.com"). It felt like there was some sort of community.

Now there are probably 1k+ posts in those threads so I'm guessing that feeling is gone, but I still recommend it to friends that are looking.
Sorry - I didn't mean the candidates at all. The article was about SF startups, and many use progressive values as a selling point. I don't think you're wrong to see some intolerance.

There are many uncertainties. Like the one regarding the fact that you can get an absolution from the ECB if you cause enough havoc. Or the one where you shouldn't invest in any country that may even smell slightly endangered (which would actually cause that north/south europe contruct). On the other hand it may even lure in even more "evil" investments with the right insurance. All this with a fast devaluating Euro? Sounds pretty bad to me.

Yes, but there are multiple reasons why food prices have been going up lately, from high gas prices to increases in ethanol usage reducing corn supply, to a rising amount of meat consumption throughout the world. That's driving food prices up more than usual right now. Apple didn't make this raise for anything except "well we added a touch bar!" Meanwhile they've made a much less powerful machine when people expect more power.

For me and many others, it's about pushing the MBP towards more portability at the cost of power.

Laptop manufacturers traditionally have had two lines: a desktop replacement and an ultraportable one. Prior to the Retina MacBook: it was the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Thinkpads had the X-series and T-series.

Now, Apple has released a MacBook Pro that's not quite the total desktop replacement while requiring us to carry a bunch of adapters. I've mentioned this in another thread, but had Apple just called this recent release an update on the MacBook, most people would probably have been enthralled. Yay! More USB-C ports, a laptop you could type on your lap, and more processing power!

For all of us criticizing the new release, it's not because we don't care for portability or USB-C, but because Apple has hindered the user experience for existing Pro customers. Dongles and adapters are mental lines item that a professional should not have to be concerned with. We want a laptop that can handle it all and we just want Cook et al. to make the MacBook Pro again.
I'm not stating it as a fact but a mere possibility that I draw from what is publicly available. I'm sorry if it offends your renegade-hackerman world view but it is hardly farfetched or beyond the capabilities of the US government to set up and control a honeypot that intercepts real leaks.

US government takes security very seriously. A real organization like wikileaks would not even see the light of day.

It wouldn't surprise me if that is how it starts, before consolidating and becoming a more homogenous industry down the road. I agree, it would be sad. I can imagine the majority of people on HN would probably prefer open and less locked in alternatives.
And I'll have to disagree with you on that. I have to use "vanilla" Windows 10 at work and the various missing tools and kinks in the OS drive me borderline insane at times.
How can it be that in 2016, the default "quick, dispensable" file editor (notepad) lacks pretty much every feature under the sun? The command line is still abysmal - even with the improvements of Win10. Powershell is not much better. Simple tasks have to be done using clicks all over the place, instead of just editing the according file from a cmd. The registry is still in heavy use (eww). The new virtual desktop feature (which *NIX systems had for decades) is clunky at best. IE is borderline unusable. Edge is worse. I could go on for ages.

In fact, if you subtract the gazillion of little 3rd party tools you have to install to make Windows usable, the actual OS is a disappointment, and if you can use those tools you still have to install them through a wizard - by hand. Microsofts dev tools (i.e. Visual Studio) also seem to suffer from the same symptoms, although that seems to be changing slowly.

One could argue that you have to install many tools via a package manager on other OSes, but at least, you get most of them (neatly organised) just by trusting one source (Canonical, Debian, whatever).
A high learning curve is fine for a tool you'll use the rest of your life.

Ulrich Schnauss is very, very good at what he does. Highly recommended.

Different perceptions - Greek market was and still largely is heavily regulated and closed. It will take many years for people to adapt to a free-er market. It doesn't help that government does not communicate it to people. For example, there was no real property tax in greece. Then after the crisis they instituted an "Emergency tax" on property that they promised "would be just one-off". Of course it became a two-off, 3-off etc. Greek govt. and the electorate have been playing cat and mouse for decades.

Facebook's encouragement of businesses to build FB pages, then have their own customers like them on Facebook seemed like a win-win--a mutual leveraging of cross-engagement.

But, Facebook's later flipping the switch to make those businesses pay to reach their own customers was a completely underhanded bait-and-switch.

Still leaves a bad taste in my mouth all of these years later.

The diversity figures could be worse. They could have included a breakdown based on age and compared Facebook vs national norms and firms doing US government/military software contracts.

Age is not required for the EEO-1 filings:

suggesting the need for research to understand the causes and potential solutions."

Microsoft and TypeScript team are doing amazing work with this editor! There are so many interesting features in it, gave it a shot few weeks ago and was really satisfied. And it is probably the first electron app that didn't feel like rest of the bunch, that are pretty much hogs and not very responsive (especially when we talk about editors and IDEs).

But you know, I can't hang Emacs and Vim on the wall and leave them there. It just got so much under my skin, and I got so much used to them that using GUI editor after few years of them just feels odd. And I use them for 5 years. I can't imagine how it is for people that used them for 20+ years...

From what I could dig up online the CPU is a i7 Dual Core CPU, which makes this one VERY expensive dual core laptop at the i7 + 1TB SSD range (http://pureinfotech.com/surface-book-laptop-technical-specif...)
