> There are objectively less qualified under represented minorities and females in the tech industry. Just check CS major demographics, stackoverflow demographics, etc. It's an undisputed fact.

I'm not sure I understand this sentence. It is an undisputed fact that the proportions of sex, race, etc. in tech are not reflective of the population at large, yes. But I'm not sure how this means that certain groups are less qualified.

> citing unequal representation is not adequate proof of sexism or racism

Sure. But it is the simplest hypothesis; other hypotheses have a higher burden of proof. Serious, straightforward racism and sexism are within living memory; FORTRAN, for instance, is older than Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Movement. There's good reason to believe sexism and racism could cause the discrepancy we see.

There is less good reason to believe an inherent biological bias; citing unequal representation is also not an adequate proof of biological differences.

If you google for stats on the average size of webpages these days, you can see a bunch of studies people have done which show the average file size of website page loads is increasing. Images are the biggest offender, but JS bloat is a significant factor as well.

FWIW this is generally common knowledge within the webdev community. People debate whether or not it's a problem, not whether or not it's happening.
Price is only weakly correlated with taste and quality and there are lots of $10 bottle of wines that are superior to lots of $30 bottles of wines. That being said, if I was offered pairs of randomly selected wines from the same grape and region, one costing $10 and the other $30, I'd like to think I'd pick out the $30 wine with a better random success rate. That being said again there is no reason to assume that one would necessarily always prefer the $30 bottle to the $10.

However at the price ranges we're talking about here you're not simply paying for taste. You're paying to drink something that is rare and in some way unique and/or interesting.

I feel that the above statement is more applicable to your comment, than to the comment you were talking about. I would like to politely suggest silently downvoting a comment that is factually incorrect, instead of going on a rant about comment etiquette.

We're all human and we all make mistakes. Angry outbursts like yours are more toxic to a community than having an occasional user be negligent and fail to fact-check their comment.

Why you shouldn't work at full capacity
Am I the only one that is scared of 401ks? It sounds nice: put your money into an account tax-free, let it grow tax free over 30-40 years. When you retire, you have this nice large fund to pull money from.

My biggest fear is that in 30-40 years the US government and/or 401k funds are so poorly run that they tax 50/60/70% of the income (withdrawals) out of the 401k to sustain theirselves. Lots of people tell me "that won't happen" but when I study history, I realize that the only people who think that are ones who have never lived through a major war. Wars = higher taxes. To me, putting money in a 401k is trusting that everything will be ok for a long time to come, and it's just hard to justify that the way history books show the cycles of war.

It scares me so much that I'd rather pay the taxes now, and invest as I please.

Edit: as omouse mentioned, that is my other fear. That through technology and healthcare innovations, as well as the government recognizing the need to "adjusting" the retirement age, how do I know I will get my 401k at 65? What if it is 85? That's too risky for me :/
Telling Facebook you changed phone number – T&Cs you unwittingly signed up to
I ran into that same problem when looking for a drive a couple of months ago. I wanted something fast enough to comfortably run portable apps off of, small enough to fit in my laptop without covering up 4 USB ports, and with something more sturdy than a plastic eyelet which would break in < 1 year. I didn't see many options. I finally got the SanDisk Extreme Pro USB 3.0. It only has 2010-era SSD performance, but that was still better than anything else I found which met my criteria.

I would love to see another fast, small, keyring-friendly drive with newer tech. Or, alternatively, something at least as fast as the SanDisk drive, but in a thin, rugged form-factor like the Yubikey Neo.
This requires the browser to recognize it as a credit card field.

Suppose a form uses a non-standard name for the field (say a localized name), and a user enters it at a legitimate site. Any attacker simply has to find these non-standard names for auto-complete to fill this in.

I feel like I've seen a credit card autofill before outside of normal controls.

I'm curious why LEDs used in light bulbs could cause eye damage, but not for backlights in computer monitors or other common uses?

Certainly these blue led's have far far far less of any wavelength at all of output than say the sun at noon...

To be fair, the accusations have never been about persecuting on race and/or gender in such a strict sense - they're basically about the FSF deciding they didn't want the hassle of employing somebody who some other employees were harassing on the basis of gender identity.

Note that this doesn't require that the people who fired her are bigots so to speak - you can fully empathise with someone and still decide that it's easier/cheaper for the company to fire them than to deal with the problem, and without strong worker protections, that's possibly a perfectly rational thing to do. The FSF isn't particularly special in regards to the rights of minority groups and I'd expect it to behave the same as many organisations of a similar size. But the result is an organisation which tends heavily towards discrimination against people outside the cultural norm (who're more likely to be targeted and harassed, and so cost additional time/money/risk to employ), and that's something some people feel quite strongly should be fought against.
This is why I never put anything secret into browser autofill data. No credit cards, no passwords, nothing I would not be OK with disclosing publicly, or already did.

Sensitive info belongs to a password manager which limits it to the domains the data belong.

Credit card numbers are a pain, though. I could put them to a password manager, and manually select to fill only that particular field when I need to. In reality I rarely buy things where PayPal or Amazon payment options are not available; I suppose Stripe offers a similar service.
"It is not an entitlement, it's your money."

I think you'd be on higher moral ground if Social Security was on sound footing from an actuarial basis, the US had balanced budgets for the last 30+ years and had invested heavily in the next generation (here or abroad) through education, infrastructure and social capital. Writing an IOU from the general fund to the Social Security "Trust" fund is no more legitimate than "saving" for retirement by funding an IRA with a credit card cash advance.

Money is just an implied promise with future workers. As the last person on planet earth I could have stacks of hundred dollar bills and it won't get me a sandwich.

If you look at US demographics the entire notion of retirement is at risk unless we assume some combination of massive productivity boosts, massive immigration and/or massive, sustained trade deficits or a next generation of workers that is willing to forgo children and embrace minimalism and self sacrifice that would make a monk look like a hedonist.

Otherwise the future will consist of lower standard of living for the vast majority of seniors; working longer; and some combination of lower asset prices and higher long term interest rates.
It was an interesting read but the solution reminds me of pyramidal "scams" (of course the scam part is where the analogy breaks): the way you avoid burn out, is by delegating it to others and once they too get burned out they have to delegate too. Or they quit and you have to find someone else or let the project die. I'm not disagreeing nor judging, just sharing the thought.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that's how it works. You're comparing the true size of UK with the flatmap projection of US. To do what you want, you need to compare the true maps of both countries - with the cities.
A sub 3 marathon is like 6 minutes 50-something seconds per mile. A 40 minute 20k is like a 3 minute 13 second mile.

Enough with the straw man. The article's thesis absolutely does not hang on this interpretation, which only appears deep into the summary. Briefly, in contrast with a Ponzi scheme promising unsustainable returns on investment:

-There are no promises of huge returns

-The inner workings of the program are public knowledge

-There is no fundamental demographic or mathematical reason the system (a pretty straight-ahead social insurance program involving a certain amount of wealth transfer) should ever become insolvent, assuming the political will exists to keep it running.
But unless there's some kind of information to mislead you into thinking that it should be 5-7 days, it's not the fault of (or even a dark pattern) by the company. I could understand calling it out if it were a bait and switch, but think it's an entitlement issue to assume any kind of shipping time.
It's different in software, people can't do their jobs when this happens. Otherwise it shouldn't be called a burnout.
I dunno. Fishing boat or speed boat?
> Increasing the marginal rate of income tax for anyone making more than $120,000 by 12%+ may be a "simple" fix or just a matter of politics, but it's some pretty hard politics! (And also might lead to some unfortunate economic outcomes.)

Two things come to mind; The politics shouldn't be that hard in the current populist environment since only ~6% of taxpayers earn above the max.[1] Secondly, employees would 'only' see a 6% marginal tax increase since the employer portion isn't included with AGI.

But there are numerous other options to extend the program as well. The top 5% of taxpaying households earned at least ~$170k in 2011. As a simplifying assumption, let's just say they all meet the cap. There were 6.8 million returns above this level, which would mean that only $800 billion of the $2.8 trillion in AGI earned that year was subject to the social security tax. If you levy a 1% tax on income above the FICA limit, it would raise an additional $40B/year which with simple perpetuity math would mean an additional $1.2 trillion into the trust fund.[2]

Alternatively, since the top 5% of income payers receive something like 1/3 of their income from capital gains (which aren't subject to any FICA taxes), a 1% levy on capital gains would likely raise a similarly large amount.

I don't have any specific preference for those two ideas, but they're just a few examples.

That would be great. But the issue is really what do people do that have all this mass of Python2 source. The Python3 people are off doing what they want to do on that, which I consider the experimental branch. There's just so many new mistakes made with Python3 it's not a slam dunk for people to move to. At this point, it's become more of a social pressure / political thing (2020?) than a logical decision to move to 3. Something like Grumpy is definitely going to take the throne that Python3 abandoned.

OK, I'll try to be more clear.

I was claiming that what thesimpsons1022 said was in fact bigotry. It wasn't racist bigotry, but it was bigotry against less educated, less "tolerant" (presumably = "subscribing to liberal values"), "rednecks".

Therefore, I was (implicitly) trying to say, your statement that "Being intolerant of bigots doesn't exactly make you as bad as them" did not clear thesimpsons1022, since thesimpsons1022 was being bigoted, not just intolerant of bigots.

I wasn't claiming that liberals were bigots about race, but I will accept your statement that the left also does racism. It wasn't my point, but I agree with you.

I'm confused by your first sentence. Are you saying that "voter turnout" (i.e., the recent election) proves that half the country is awful? Intolerant? Bigoted?

I am not claiming anything based on the election. More: I don't think that the election proves very much about the level of bigotry, intolerance, or racism in this country. I think it says more about how tired people were of establishment politicians in general, and of Democrats who claimed to stand up for the little guy and yet did very little about job loss in the heartland. In fact, my (perhaps rose-tinted) perspective is that Trump got more "Ugh, not Hillary" votes than he got "Yes, Trump!" votes.

A nibble of data for you:

I'm getting between 1800 and 2600 page-views per month, eyeballed [mean] average 2100 on my blog. I just decided before Christmas to drop Amazon ads. Amazon made me something like 80p [~1USD, ~1EUR] last year, for the whole year.

Google Adsense made me about £80 [100USD, 94EUR] for the same period. Which pays for the hosting and may be a meal for the family, or a piece of computer equipment but nothing else.

I basically do nothing to optimise my advertising, I just stick it on there and forget it. Occasionally I've mentioned a product in the blog but never had anything significant in return. Google has the best position (top-right sidebar), Amazon had the most impressions (repeated automatically in the sidebar down the page IIRC, I have ublock!).

I guess it depends on your definition of "creating economic value". If I buy something for $110 from someone who paid $100 for it, I guess you could argue that either you or I just "created" $10 of economic value. I don't subscribe to that. Value is only created when you improve something.

Buy a lump of gold for $100 and turn it into a $110 bracelet -> value created.

Buy a lump of gold for $100 and sell it to someone 1 second later for $110 -> no value created.

Right. The average Boomer had nothing to do with it. To be fair, the Boomer politicians and business managers didn't screw the Millennials, either. Not directly. They pulled the rug out from the Gen-Xers, and let the domino effect take out the Millennials, too. Yeah, as a generation, we still exist, even though nobody talks about us.

The Boomers were the beneficiaries of post-war prosperity, but they also decided to steal money from the future to finance their generational party/gravy train. The Greatests gave them a gift of some free money, but then they also decided to smash open their own childrens' and grandchildrens' piggy banks and fill them full of promissory notes. Except they aren't IOUs that are promises from the parents to pay their kids back. They are UOMEs that obligate the kids to pay their parents more money, if they ever actually get some.

I'm biased by anecdote, because I'm old enough to have seen typical (late) Boomer lifestyles and compare them to typical Gen X lifestyles in the same age range. In other words, I'm old enough now to compare my own life with that of my parents when they were the age I am now.
I don't disagree that this data would be beneficial to the public, but I don't think government should have the right to tell a private organization that they need to hand out their data to whoever wants it.

Over regulation kills business; maybe not companies like Uber, but smaller companies that are still trying to get off the ground.

This is a slippery slope.
Yeah, and companies in the private sector screw up n similar fashion on a regular basis. What strong evidence do you want that they've fixed the deficiency? Government is about as open organizationally as any entity - you can serve FOIA requests asking what government has done to mitigate some past screwup and get back reams of documentation, which is more than you can say for private entities. I seem to remember Uber having its own history of privacy violations.

My grandfather has Parkinson's disease and the hand tremors that go with. This makes using a mouse nearly impossible because the cursor flies all over the place.

I created free software called SteadyMouse[1] back in 2005 to remove this tremor while letting normal mouse motion through. It eventually moved up near the top of Google's search results. At the same time, the free version began to show its age with compatibility issues. I spent the last two years on a massive rewrite for a commercial version and formed a single member LLC to carry it back in July 2016.
