Whatever white knights and pussy hungry beta says, which is large population on this sub, women are simply bad hires in tech.

Look what happened to yahoo. Women are inherent social creatures and want to take everyone with them. Competition does not work that way. If you don't create competitive product, you lose. As simple as that. I have met hundreds of women at google and they are mediocre compared to male counterparts. Trying to raise a concern will get you named as harasser.

We had hiring managers exclusively looking to hire women,even though they were not qualified. No wonder Google is losing all shine and especially in cloud to Amazon.
As with all end-to-end encryption it stops at the "end". It is this unencrypted state, in which humans consume data, that can't be defended by crypto.

Therefore the only way to be completely safe, is to make sure both you and your conversation partner don't decrypt their message until it's on an offline device only you have access to.

But end-to-end encryption where the interface (mobile app/phone) is controlled by the parties you want to protect your data from is not possible. WhatsApp could send freaking screenshots back of the unencrypted data if they wanted. For nearly all other threat models whatsApp's encryption is a wonderful add-on.
It'll be interesting to see how traditionally non-3D application translate to VR. For instance, what would a VR-enabled window manager look like, or an IDE, or a command-line shell, or a graphical file manager? What's the best way to manage web browser tabs in 3D or navigate a comment thread? What about interactive, graphical programming environments like puredata?

I expect there may be some generic solutions for problems like how to display a tree or graph in an intuitive way or how to manage a bunch of 2-D workspaces. Figuring out exactly what the best way to extract that generic functionality into libraries will be interesting, and I expect if VR becomes mainstream there will be a lot of competing VR widget libraries just like there are a lot of competing 2D gui widget libraries now.
Thanks for sharing. I alluded to this in another thread but got downvoted and stirred controversy.

My claim is this: For the median entrepreneur, there is more financial drag due to insurance now than there was before the ACA. For those who are sick or young, there is less financial drag. Your story anecdotally supports that claim.
I think halspero was trying to make the opposite point, just somewhat poorly expressed.
Why are unsigned key changes a 'normal' thing? It'd be trivial to sign the new public key with the old private key, maintaining a chain of trust.
Yep, pretty creepy.
I think the point is to be sarcastic. Everytime somebody points out that people are worse off, any fact used to support that argument is immediately used to support the thesis that in fact everything is better.

Less money - more spending - good, or as GP put it "Millennials prioritize entertainment and free time more than boomers as well"

This of course assumes the problem is the choices boomers are making. Just so we're clear: people choose to work in Amazon fulfillment centers. Hell, boomers PAY amazon for transportation to work here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYUJjpIxkCU (seriously, when will congress bring down the hammer on companies charging employees ? It is always, always and again after that used to exploit the lowest workers).

From most graphs I get the impression this is the situation. Since Obama came to office there has been the GFC. I think it would be fair to say that US employment has recovered about half the losses it endured during the GFC, taking all statistics together. That does not, to me, sound like a good result at all, and at least for me, is a big part of the explanation that Trump got elected. For most people employment is worse than when Obama came to power (of course he should probably not be blamed for the GFC, but still, he's got the top job. He bears some responsibility)

Similar argument: More debt - more spending - good

Those sorts of arguments. Truth is the economics for the vast majority of the world's population have steadily worsened since about 2000-2001 (worldwide average). Silicon Valley and in fact most huge cities are an exception.

So the question isn't whether anthropogenic climate change is a thing. The questions are to what extent are the effects? What are the costs and efficacy of combating climate change?
to find out if the user has notification on would be the same as doing the attack, and to find that for all users is the same as mitm all users.

im not sure how is the security of those who dont have notifications on worse in this case then what they have now.

if i want to i should be able to say if somebody changes the key i want to first verify the key before i send the message to that person.

lets say you organise a big protest vs some regime. i know who you are and i know that you comunicate with the number xyz. i redirect that number to my. in the meantime you send me a list of names that are in our group and adresses. i reconect with a xyz number and get the list and everything. even if youbget the notification its to late.
It wont perform better as we already know that. Given how Internet, and now smartphone is video and image driven, i really wish there is an breakthrough in Video and Image technology.

Health insurance companies are going to love this. Expect to see a spinoff for-profit organization that monetizes the tests (charging the end user of course - probably via their insurance premium).

The fancy 'public healthcare' rhetoric coming from a UK research project is all well and good for now, but we all know that this will end up being a mandatory part of any health check for insurance purposes.

On a lighter note, the idea of all that leak data being (inevitably) leaked is amusing

While specifically cartography, the recent trend to 3D render satellite views by both Google and Apple is pretty bad, and a step backwards. Both companies try to project the 2D photograph onto a 3D mesh, which fails to work in many cases due to alignment and measurement errors. Instead of getting nicely wrapped polygons, you get weird crumpled shapes with distorted pixels projected on them. While annoying, this wouldn't be a show a stopper because you can always click "2D" to see the undistorted 2D photograph right?

WRONG! 2D simply rotates the 3D model so that the z-axis is perpendicular to your screen. All the distortions and artifacts remain in place! This is broken.

> Key changes in a messenger are totally different. They happen under normal conditions

This doesn't have to be the case. If you stop coupling a key to a device and instead couple a key to a person (generating a key deterministically from a password for example), they can be changed far more rarely.
Do you think a focus on instant gratification is anything new ? I mean you clearly do, but it seems such a weird point to make.
Except that premiums have increased slower in the 5 years after ACA than the 2 5-year periods before [1] and the rate of expenditures, while not decreasing, is basically unchanged after ACA [2].

Your numbers don't make sense, so maybe there is a typo. Did you mean to say that Medicare is a tax amounting to 1-1.5% of your income, or ???

In the USA, income tax is a marginal rate, while Social Security and Medicare taxes are fixed rate (and therefore regressive).

Initial Impressions of the Monoprice Mini Select
Well, I'm assuming "applicant pool" means the pool of all people applying. My point was that even if women are a small portion of the applicant pool, they may represent a larger quality-weighted portion of the total applicant pool. I agree that if as your population becomes large, you should asymptotically be approaching the demographics of your quality-weighted applicant pool.

Note: By "quality-weighted" I really mean something more complicated like "ROI-weighted", since it could also be that because of your reputation as a "female-friendly" employer, high-quality female employees will be willing to work at a lower salary than they would otherwise demand at a "male-dominated" workplace (e.g. "Well, company X pays better, but I really like the culture/people/policies at company Y...")
No, but they don't have to because (the vast majority of) users don't establish trust in website's TLS certificates themselves; instead, they use a trusted third party: the set of all trusted certificate authorities in their browser or operating system's root store. End-to-end encrypted messengers like Signal and WhatsApp don't rely on a trusted third party to establish trust, instead (rightly) leaving it up to users to establish trust between each other.
Makes sense. Sorry, I think my question sounded snippy. I didn't mean it that way. I ask for opinion here often because I trust users here more than any other online forum.
We detached this thread because blah blah blah...
My point is that for the median entrepreneur or small business owner, the ACA made it harder. Increases in premiums are not trivial.

I agree an employer based model does discriminate against startups, but my point is that the ACA also makes it harder for the median entrepreneur to succeed. The fact that the fringe cases can start companies does not to me justify the drain on all other entrepreneurs.
If healthcare is too expensive for most people than the only solution that works is for most people to pay less.

The other points can be debated, but please don't call it proprietary. It is free software as in "freedom" (LGPL).
> Seems like it would be an awesome experience though.

Unless you're there doing research that you enjoy doing, I can tell you that it will not be an awesome experience. For a few days, OK, but beyond that, you probably will be bored to death.

I once spent 30 days in the middle of nowhere doing research. Just a few guys, no females.

When we got back to civilization, everything looked super colorful. The green leaves of plants I first saw, and it remained like that for a few days, after we got back looked absolutely beautiful. I thought I'd never seen green colors that bright.

And the sight of women, omg!
I don't really get this argument/issue he's raising. Yes, important person in the OSS community, but this feels like a hit piece.

What's the core of the issue? That you should consider going and looking at the code before you decide to use it. Isn't this a good thing? In fact, I started committing back to some projects because I read the code, and decided I wanted something in addition or minor change. This encourages community IMO.

The examples of Python seem really strange too, because I've found Python to have horribly divergent implementations with severe faults if you choose one over another. Rust is a smaller and younger ecosystem, but I haven't really had that problem yet. I do find myself researching my dependencies more, but shouldn't we all be doing that anyway? I'll pick something that it looks like is actively developed over something that hasn't had a commit in years.

Point, Rust hasn't hurt me in terms of dependencies yet in the same way that I have been in other languages. Now, I know I will be burned by a dependency in the future, I can guarantee it, but I also know that the openness and helpfulness of the community will mean that fixing it will be easy and encouraged.

Disclaimer: I love Rust.
> I am opposed to the mandate because it requires me to purchase something from a private party just because I am alive.

Yeah, this is something I feel very strongly about in Australia. For context, we have a fairly good public healthcare system. I've been to the hospital many times (not for anything much serious) and never paid anything. It's free to have a baby in a hospital (well, apart from taxes). Private health cover, while it exits, is not a necessity.

Then, the 'Medicare Levy Surcharge' was introduced to encourage higher-income earners to take out private health cover (PHC) to supposedly reduce the strain on the public system. So now, unless I take out PHC I get hit with a $3000 fine at tax time. So I took out a $800/year junk policy which gets me basically nothing and is not something that I need.

I'm really annoyed that the government more or less forces (because regardless how I feel on the topic, it's not unreasonable for me to choose a $800 option over a $3000 option) me to hand money over to a private company for a product that I neither need or will use.
I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but many people feel that "millennials" is an overused term in the media by journalists that either don't have a deep grasp of the subject or are just trying to get clicks. Or that it's stupid to divide people into arbitrary generations then assign them a bunch of personality characteristics. Etc Etc.

Similar to how "the cloud" is used so often it is just a meaningless buzzword. You've probably heard of the cloud-to-butt extension[0]. This is its less-famous sibling.

> Even the fuel rods of current reactors are safe to touch before they are spent

What? Fuel rods consist of uranium, which alpha-decays into thorium (a sheet of paper is enough to shield the alpha particles), but the next decay step is beta-decay to thorium, and that needs more shielding. No way one can touch a fuel rod without getting a load of radiation.
Well, certainty isn't available whatever the facts! So it's not relevant here.

There's no contradiction between fallibilism and asserting that some scientific explanation is true. This study doesn't assert anything apart from an 'association'. Yet progress is made by addressing theoretical problems, not by looking for assocations, which are everywhere.

As for 'propaganda' I think you've got it the wrong way around. It's the people who applaud this kind of non-result who are seeking a kind of uncritical 'Yay Science' experience.
No they're not leaving this entire demographic out. After all, the original article is anecdotes from entrepreneurs. They're saying that ACA subscribers in general are higher risk. That's not surprising considering that most poor people would shop for health insurance on the exchanges and poor people in general have worse health than rich people.

> On engineering teams you don't want constant negotiation.

I'm not sure you can escape it. I'm not sure you want to escape it. "Hey Jane, wouldn't the code be better written like this?" enters the process of negotiation. Do you really want to not explore a better way to write a given section of code because of some perceived conflict?

And maybe she will respond with: "Nice thought, but I avoided doing it that way because of a bug on platform X.", so you come back with: "Oh, I did not realize that. I still believe there is room for improvement. What if we did _this_ instead?". To which she returns with "I never thought of it that way. Good idea."

And there you have an act of negotiation. You won't always reach an agreement. Jane may not like your updated suggestion either and you ultimately walk away, leaving the code unchanged. But even when disagreements occur, I'm not sure I would want to go near an engineering team that was afraid to do that, to be honest.

> I hate senseless fighting where winning depends mostly on asserting yourself.

Perhaps we have differing ideas of what negotiation is. Senseless fighting and trying to beat someone down into submissiveness doesn't sound like the process of negotiation at all to me.
Agreed. Pre-school costs $15k/year where I live. There are an awful lot of careers in which that would be a tough pill to swallow. Maybe one parent stays at home with the kid... but then you're a single income family and housing prices are no joke either.
Ask HN: How do you do early-stage market research?
There are many ways to validate ideas as quickly as possible: consumer surveys, interviews with members of your target audience, thorough competitive analyses...

The right approach is bound to be a something along the lines of "all of the above," but of course that can be an expensive and laborious process. Consumer surveys, for example, can be several dollars per response depending on how targeted they are -- too pricey to get a strong signal if you're strapped for cash.

Inspired by some recent posts about bootstrapping like this one[1], what are your favorite (time/money efficient) ways to do market research in your scrappiest stages?

Wow, blind me with brilliance or baffle me with bs, you are obviously much smarter than me and I conside to you. All that I ask is that you use your knowledge to help what I feel is a pioneering company with an idea that even the smartest minds...including yours have had to concede that these guys have something. They have pulled up their skirt and offered you an opportunity to make something great and you want to bicker over their har color.
My impression has been that back end pays more, that's why I was more inclined towards it.

I don't think I would pursue my own startup, even though I said so above.
But Trump is also rich and powerful, so how does that make sense? He's no different, relatively.
I think the next Mac Pro will need to fit within the Rack.

Basically merging the Xserve and Mac Pro together. It will need Dual CPU and Dual GPU space.

But May be the consumer Mac and iPhone is simply too large of a market, where even small minor profitable business like Server and Pro market are being ignored. But sometimes it isn't about profits, but ecosystem.

> If you're saying current VR hardware are the "mainframe computers of the 60s and 70s" and we're still yet to see what the "personal computer of the 80s/90s" will be for VR, I can maybe buy that but I still have unanswered questions and would bet against it.

I'm not saying that it's a mainframe. In regards to the consumer market I think it is the personal computer but rather a PC with Windows 3.1, while the market is waiting for Windows 95 - and the explosion in software that came with it.

> Also, current VR is also an add-on to a commodity product (PCs and gaming consoles).

PC's are a commodity product but not the software that runs on them. Which is why one generates trillions more dollars than the other.
Ask HN: Why do coding bootcamps teach Ruby on Rails and JavaScript?
Depends. Remember a lot of this stuff is driven by small dev houses and in some cases - one man bands. Sometimes the graphics aren't up to scratch.

Also - there's a tendency towards flat shading as an aesthetic choice - it actually looks great in VR and frame rate is king.

However - check out something like Valve's "The Lab" to see how skilled devs can produce stunning graphics that run really smoothly in VR. It shows it's possible...

it apparently matters a great deal to a great many people what is in other people's hearts and minds. I suspect they don't have enough .... ego or something.
