>> You deliberately manipulated your audience by playing on their fears of being deemed discriminatory, their anxiety over real ethnic tensions, and perhaps most egregiously, you intentionally encouraged gender stereotyping of women for your own purpose of obtaining attention.

> The question is, why are you so desperate to make this about "white male dominance"? This is about what the author stated.

You were the one who came out of the gate gunning for that argument. The author merely referenced her own early misgivings about her place in the industry, which were (and remain) entirely valid, especially considering the piece was about her own experience.

Using a lot of words to say the same thing repetitively doesn't make your argument any stronger. It just makes it a little harder to parse.
Man, and I thought programming had difficult edge cases :)

From this post and the article you linked above, the takeaway I get is to ask everyday "Are you following the contract?" I understand the legal definition, but I gather that the layman will still think it's fraud.

I guess a simple solution in that scenario would be to have a checkbox asking are you following the contract every time they login to the server.

Thanks, I learned a lot from you! :D
I've been to the Adventurer Hotel which is the first on that list a long, long time ago. I would not recommend it. I had a layover at LAX, their bus pulled up right in front of me, and some kids said get on. The staff, all the girls were from Russia or Poland and the guys were from New Zealand, Australia, and one bloke from England, on the bus made a pit stop at the liqueur store. They bought at least 12 liters of booze. There wasn't a bar by the pool like in the pictures. They just set up a table by the pool. When the bus rolled in there was a prostitute on roller skates across the street and one prostitute half a block up 6 or 7 months pregnant. One guy says looks like roller girl is working tonight. The staff lived in the hotel rooms. This was during the Gulf War and the bus picked up two kids serving in the British army who just got a couple weeks leave. The Australian guy who worked at the front desk set up an elaborate plan to hook the soldiers up with a couple of the Russian girls who were waitresses in the bar. Early in the night he rounded a few of us up to pretend the party was in one of the empty hotel rooms. The staff were just people travelling from other countries working under the table. They just partied and partied with everyone who stayed there. He invited two Russian girls and the soldiers to join all of us in the room. As soon as they all got there the rest of us left. It worked because they ended up hanging out together all night. It just kept going on like that. It was wild and out of control. Frat parties are tame compared to what was going on there that night. There is no reason ever to stay there. If you do you will get bed bugs or hepatitis.
I think you need to narrow the scope of your question. It's like saying I'm in finance and I want to learn about computers. You'd say, do you what to know how to code, the history of computers, do you want to know how to work with operating systems do you want to fix computers.

First I'd ask what you want to learn finance for. Do you want to be a banker, do you want to be a stock trader, do you want to know economic theory, do you want to understand particular asset classes, do you want to just be better with your own finance. Micro macro? Once you narrow it down you can find some literature on the sub topic.
I returned my MacBook Pro 15' earlier today. Here's why:

* Graphics card glitches - I paid close to 4K so I don't have to deal with quality control issues.

* Touchpad is just too large. I found myself resting my palm on it all the time, and sometimes (clicking) without realizing it. Also, if you like lying down and working (which I do sometimes because of a lower back problem) the size of the touchpad will make you work extra hard to avoid accidental clicks.

* Had the machine for ~ 10 days, used the touch bar less than that. Definitely not worth the money. Hopefully in the future, they'll have the 15' option without it.

* The bootcamp experience just sucks (this was my primary reason for returning it). Currently, there's no way to gracefully switch between discreet and integrated gpu, so the battery life is terrible, like two-and-a-half-hour maximum battery life terrible. gpu-switch doesn't work either. In fact, if you use gpu-switch you'll have to rebuild both macOS and Windows as the machine will just hang when you try to boot into either.

* Recovery mode has many issues with network connectivity. A few times, I had to tether/connect to my iPhone hotspot for it to go through.

* Sharp edges everywhere.

The specs are very underwhelming too, but I was willing to tolerate lower specs for higher build quality. I actually just picked up an XPS 15 9550 from Microcenter. Got the 2.6Ghz, 16GB (expandable to 32GB), 512GB SSD, 4K touchscreen for $1350 (an open box, new for $1499).
Phonegap has great scrolling, touch events work as they should and UI quirks are not a fault of the framework. Maybe just dont make games with it.

I have a successful phonegap weather app with over 200,000+ users in multiple countries. As a solo dev it certainly does the job I require of it and gives me very good return on effort as I can effectively deploy the app to most any platform I wish.

From what I've understood, the definition of hacker is:

A person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data. [1]

So in this context, it's almost entirely controlled through software. One can be a hacker with hardware, but as of now I doubt USB C is going to make anyone as much of a hacker as a specific type of software might. And this new MacBook has very little to do with changing how real "hackers" might do things.

I admit I'm guilt of misusing the word, but if I ever get into a serious conversation or argument I'd be sure to use the dictionary definition.

"Touch pad" is what most non-Apple vendors call the mouse replacement below the keyboard, and I think the meaning is perfectly clear. "Track pad" makes me think of the IBM/Lenovo-style trackpoint nipple mouse, even if it's Apple's documented name for their mouse input. "Track bar" is different enough from "track pad" that it doesn't seem confusing to me (I use the former term daily, so the latter term provides enough mental surprise to make the difference obvious).

The post you replied to is correct, but not usefully correct. It sounds overly pedantic and elitist, like arguing that one shouldn't call "LEGO bricks" "Legos".
Let me try to move it up your backlog. Impro is one of 10 books I keep around on a permanent basis. I've been reading it for a couple of years now, and I'm not done yet. This isn't because it's a large book. Indeed, it weighs in at a slim 200 pages. I'm not done yet because after I read a chapter I can't bear to move forward, and I spend the next few months looking at the world around me with new eyes.

Other commenters here allude to the value of status in improvisational comedy. This isn't all the book is about. It is a window into human nature in general.
I'm away from my laptop at the moment so I can't see which brand/model I have exactly, but there are a number of accessories for chargers that I find more convenient than the built-in arms, especially because I use the "long" power cable.

There's nothing in the article that claims to defy thermodynamics. Consider this: anything you ingest can either be 1) absorbed by the body or 2) pass right through you. This is determined by the digestive processes occurring in your body.

If I feed you a bucket of pure sugar it will be metabolized differently than if I put the equivalent amount of sugar in non-digestible plastic pellets and had you swallow the pellets instead. Hence, it is obvious that weight gain and loss depends on more than just what you eat, it also depends on how your body digests what you eat.

I love how armchair physicists love to repeat this thermodynamics claim as if it's some kind of revelation or even remotely relevant to nutrition science, when a growing body of research is showing that the body's metabolic processes affect weight gain/loss in ways far more complex than originally thought.

For example, studies have shown that gut bacteria can have an effect on fat absorption and hence how many calories are extracted from the food you eat. This means that two people, eating the exact same thing, may absorb different amount of calories from it, and hence may gain/lose weight differently.

Thermodynamics is completely irrelevant here. It tells us nothing meaningful at all.

I'll just go ahead and contradict the running opinion and say: I like my 2016 MacBook Pro 15".

I've owned a few Macs and this one is my favorite. Despite my initial impressions, I really like the keyboard. I'm also quite happy with the trackpad which I've found to be excellent as usual and not picking up stray contact.

The only place I'm not "ecstatic" or "pleased" is with the TouchBar - and to be clear, I'm not displeased. I just don't really notice it. It's there doing its thing and I'm using the laptop, doing my thing. Occasionally I need the escape key and tap where I'd expect the escape key to be and while I don't get the tactile feedback it works.

All in all - the TouchBar is a net zero to me. I didn't lose anything by losing my Fn keys but I don't feel I gained anything with the TouchBar except TouchId which is nice.

TL;DR: Overpriced? Definitely. Pleased with product? Yes. TouchBar? No strong feelings. Returning it? No.
This author doesn't know what he's talking about

"It’s not the Nexus’ fault that my MacBook got fried — it was just doing what it was supposed to do: ask for as much power as it can get. It’s not the MacBook’s fault either — its ports weren’t designed to handle delivering that much juice nor to know that they shouldn’t even try. It is the fault of the cable, which is supposed to protect both sides from screwing up the energy equation with resistors and proper wiring."

This is simply not true. Both the device that is supplying and receiving power should be regulating. The cable should just be "dumb". I've done a bunch of testing on various chargers using cheap USB power meters and 2A USB dummy loads. For instance iPhones/iPads will monitor the voltage of the charger and if it starts sagging will reduce the amperage they draw. (my own testing has only been with "classic" USB type A stuff though)

The only cable I've heard of that actually fried anything was one that was wired completely wrong putting power on the data pins or something like that.

I'd like to see that argument. The median home in California is not by any means affordable. The median home in many other states is absolutely affordable. Furthermore---and back to my original argument---suppose that home prices are X * C where X is the median salary and C is some number between 0 and 1. What's stopping someone from drastically undercutting the artificially-high home price?

I have no reason to believe that either home prices or rent are set by wages.

I just want to emphasize something you hinted at: "expected return" usually involves an additional discounting factor which relates to risk and risk tolerance. An investment with a fixed return of 5% (a predictable $76 equivalent in a year) is very different from an investment with an expected return of 5% but a standard deviation of +-10% (anywhere from about $68 to $84). A lot of investors would treat that as worth a little bit less, because if it happens to go down, that is felt more keenly than if it goes up.
But is it necessarily a bad thing? It seems like a way for nature to filter out less competitive genetic material. There are always going to be hierarchies and there will always be people at the bottom. It's an inherent part of how matter organises itself.

Most people are bewildered when I tell them I stopped eating sugar. I gave up sweets and sweeteners about two years ago. I cannot say that it has drastically changed my life.

I read one of the many articles on HN about the dangers of sugar and began to ask myself why I felt the need to "treat" myself with sweets? Ultimately I decided that I didn't need it and learning to exercise discipline would likely help me in other areas of my life. I believe it has.

It was my understanding that the advantage of Intel's compiler is that it would optimize for the strengths available on newer processors while still allowing it to work on older processors (for example, using AVX instructions if available and a slower branch if not) [aka, the "CPU dispatcher"]. Agner wrote about it "crippling" AMD processors because they didn't say they were "GenuineIntel" back in 2009.[0]

As someone on the receiving side of bug bounty reports, PoC videos are usually the worst way to go. A clean writeup is 100x better and easier to figure out.

The actual bug here looks to be that the reporter is able to add themselves as an admin to any account via insecure direct object reference (IDOR), after which they can query the users' account information. Good find and worth the $5k reward they got for it.

However, publishing a video with them fetching PII data and displaying the data seems grossly irresponsible (and illegal depending on the jurisdiction).
>easy access to loaned capital has perversed the connection between wages and house prices a bit

Only to a certain extent. Loaned capital is still limited by wages (no one is going to give a $1 million mortgage to someone who makes $40k per year). But again, I don't think wages has hardly anything to do with house prices; it's all about supply and demand. Sure, most people might only be willing to pay 1/3 their salary on housing. That doesn't mean that the price for housing is that number. If a huge supply of housing for less than that price floods the market, then why would everyone continue to pay 1/3 their salary for housing when they could pay 1/4 or 1/6?
The human side of your comment aside, it isn't absolute. So it may 'filter out more competitive genetic material,' from the bottom of more competitive pools than the 'less competitive material' at the top of worse performing pools.

Ha, I'm in Hollywood, and my complex has been sending out emails offering promotions to recommend friends on a bi-weekly basis for a few months now. Vacancy has got to be around 20%. Meanwhile, there's 6 new luxury complexes with over 1500 units opening or that have opened this year--JUST ON MY BLOCK ALONE [2,3,4,5] (for reference, the entire population of Hollywood is roughly 22k [1]). The new complexes are practically ghost towns, Eastown in particular was offering a free month for ages before finally dropping rents 10%. Sunset Gordon Tower is literally kicking everyone out that moved in, which was only 17% occupied anyway [5].

Meanwhile, my lease is set to expire, and the renewal offer comes with a 10% bump in my rent (as it has for the last two years).

The sad part is, I feel like it's working from an economic standpoint. Vacancy was close to zero when I moved in (literally got the only apartment available). Even though it's now got to be around 20%, the rent has risen by over 30%. Pretty sure that means they're making 4% more over the course of 3 years, which given the dismal global economic growth, that yield isn't too shabby.

With all the vacancy, you'd think development would be slowing, but it's actually picking up even more. There's 7 new hotels planned for the block [6]. And there's several other residential towers planned for the block [7], 750 new units by 2018 just in one, the Palladium Towers [8].

Keep in mind that this is just one block. Roughly the same thing is happening a mile up Hollywood Blvd at Highland. And to a lesser degree a mile down the street at Western.

All of this is great. We desperately need the new units. The mixed-use walkability will be an example to the entire city for how great Los Angeles can be.

But where are this many luxury renters suddenly going to appear from? Wishful thinking?

>Higher-quality new housing is built, which is one part of making an area more attractive to more affluent residents, which drives up prices despite there being more total housing available than before.

This has me convinced that people might be right that new housing could lead to higher rent in some cases, but at the same time those people are wrong for arguing against basic supply and demand. Sure, supply increased and prices went up. But it could be that demand increased more than supply did, as pointed out by the parent comment.
Re: "dumb" devices, this is how it's supposed to work, yes, but I don't think I've ever seen a charger that won't happily dump 1A into a resistor wired over the power pins - including brand name (Apple) chargers and yes, the USB ports on a MacBook Pro. I've never seen a modern device supply only 100 mA.

For devices that DO attempt to negotiate, yes in those cases usually you'll see it work according to spec.

I haven't tried USB-C yet, it would be interesting to see if devices have gotten stricter.
