As an individual, I agree. As a company, however, I think it's a good move, because not every individual will agree or be able to negotiate for oneself. If a company hasn't hired that individual to do negotiation, then I don't see why they should reward or punish that employee for negotiation skills. Hence Lever's neutrality on negotiation.
That could mean a link between sweating and longevity, which would also explain exercise...

Causality not necessarily the case here.
In my experience, the programmers who are particularly able to negotiate aggressively and are conflict-seeking achieve the goal of getting their designs adopted, which usually doesn't correlate with getting the best designs adopted. If you don't believe such a correlation exists, you get a more productive development team if you artificially avoid rewarding aggressive negotiation and self-advocacy. It's an important skill in other disciplines like sales (where the goal is to close the deal even if your company's product is unquestionably worse than the competitors' products), but not so much for engineering.

I also think this isn't so much "women aren't good at negotiating for themselves" as "women who negotiate for themselves aggressively and are conflict-seeking are penalized socially for non-womanlike-behavior, so they learn not to do so." There are legitimate criticisms to be made about implicitly buying into that social standard, but it seems like an easier change to just prioritize different things in compensation, if the goal is short-term fairness in compensation.
The ACA passed on a purely partisan vote and will be repealed on a purely partisan vote.

The normal institutions of the Senate - primarily, the filibuster - were bypassed in the name of the effecting the greater good. But this also leaves the repeal option open today to a simple procedure that in turn will bypass the filibuster.

In light of the recent election, the ACA will be repealed. the initial votes to do this have already been had and the partisan lines drawn.

There was immense political fallout to the party in power back in 2009 when ACA was passed using shortcut techniques. Many walked the plank, whether wittingly or not, when they cast crucial votes in support of a strictly partisan outcome.

I believe the same will happen to those currently in power if they attempt to jam through purely partisan solutions in support of the ACA replacement, whatever that will be.

Those in power know this and I believe this gives the party out of power leverage to attempt to salvage the more important elements of ACA (many of which are noted in the founder anecdotes cited in this piece).

Given who is in power, any replacement will involve a decided swing back toward free market and away from the single-payer direction that the losing candidate had favored. Among other things, I believe any replacement plan will: (1) do away with the mandate requiring everybody to buy health insurance or pay a penalty; (2) do away with the idea that all policies must be comprehensive and outlawing "skinny" coverage of the type most young people desire (in other words, the replacement will allow insurers once again to offer cheaper policies that appeal to young, healthy people who want to cover only catastrophic risks and do not want coverage for a broad range of other things they likely will not need); (3) do away with penalties imposed on employers who fail to provide health care coverage to their full-time workers (thus causing at least some employers to limit the number of hours many of their employees could work so they could stay within the definition of "part-time"). In other words, far more elements of free-market choice will be brought into the mix. Beyond that, who knows.

Whatever else, I believe we can be assured that whatever emerges will hardly be "affordable" care. Our health insurance system is an utter mess and has been for many years predating the ACA. I can hope for the best but, in this area, have come to expect the worst, whoever may be in power.
> but you have to have a lot of women working for you before you'll have access to a lot of female personal networks.

You underestimate how well-networked women are. For most of us, before we take a new job, we extensively inquire through those networks about the company, the team, and the manager. And your reputation spreads - if your company is considered a good environment for women, word travels fast. (If it's a bad one, faster)

> you have to work pretty damned hard to get them.

Not really. You have to be a place that treats women with respect, is not socially dysfunctional, and doesn't tolerate harassment. That's it. Word will travel. And given SVs culture, that means a rather small set of companies.

> you'd probably be better off hiring 50 year old straight white men who vote Republican and have been at it since the days of Netscape

In terms of finding people, maybe. In terms of building a team - hell no. Not because any of these attributes are undesirable, but because monoculture is undesirable.

Also, the "i tried to contact you" is clearly a BS defense.

It wasn't a "reasonable effort".

This is a reporter.
They know that people basically never respond to interview requests during what amounts to the busiest times in their lives, and so the reporter asked just so they could say they tried.

Otherwise, they would have held the story a week or whatever until they could get a comment.

I'd argue that it only benefits capital owners in the sense of having a convenient thing ( that's hopefully nearly irrelevant ) to measure.

Edit: I think Piketty glosses over what's actually capital and what is not. It's not the complement of labor - production is the mixing of land, labor and capital. That's three things.

WhatsApp seems to be built for a threat model where a single message (and you can think of a block of messages without reply as semantically equivalent to a single message, here) being compromised is no big deal; only a conversation being compromised is a problem.

If there are cases (like this) where a single-message compromise is a big deal, and WhatsApp cares about these cases, then the simplest solution would be for WhatsApp to add a preference in the client to switch on—as the article describes—a "blocking mode" for re-key notifications, where retransmissions aren't allowed by default.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-intelligence-teams...

"DeepMind was said to have around 75 employees when Google picked it up in 2014. If the deal closed at the rumored amount, that would put the cost per employee at an eye-popping $6.66 million. Magic Pony is said to have had a team of 14 when it was acquired by Twitter—$10.7 million per employee."
http://pitchbook.com/news/articles/tech-giants-paying-big-mo...
This is why we need fact based research to understand these costs, and use a direct tax on those items to recoup those costs from those who engage in those risks.

Go skiing? Well there's a higher tax for the ticket because you have X% higher risk of breaking a leg. Twinkies right now are a grocery food so in fact it has less tax, where it probably should be taxed like booze or cigarettes (in effect a sin tax). Of course sin taxes get abused, where the money goes to the general fund rather than going to mitigation for the undesirable behavior.

For years, I paid much more out in insurance than I would ever spend that year. Last year, I had a $35,000 surgery. Heck, I spent so much on medical care last year that I had a "luxury colonoscopy" in December, because I knew I'd hit my out-of-pocket cap for the year.

That colonoscopy was $6000, btw. This, for preventative care that could save hundreds of thousands of dollars from colon cancer (and quite possibly my life) down the road. In a well designed system, price controls would put preventative care like colonoscopies below actual cost (and make the money up elsewhere), to save money at the macro level.
It would be interesting to know what the wages are.
"The ACA is not being repealed today"

Yes, it is. The Congressional process was started today:

http://www.businessinsider.com/obamacare-repeal-process-sena...

This is a fact.

And it is also a fact that the GOP has no plans whatsoever in terms of what it will be replaced with.

If you have access to any working groups, white-papers, or legislation otherwise - provide a link.

You can't - because there is nothing.

Obviously it will take some time to clawback all of the legislation, but it is being repealed as we speak.

"The ACA will still be in place tomorrow. It will be in place next week."

Obviously - but what are businesses around American doing now? They have no way to make plans, they have no idea what the future holds.

This is 'anti business' and 'anti responsibility'.

The responsible thing to do would be to craft a plan - and then put the gears in motion so that people know what is going to happen, and individuals and businesses have insight as to what will invariably affect everyone in America.

The Republicans have full control of Congress and they can expedite the repeal at least parts of ACA fairly quickly - once that is done - there is no ACA. Boom, it's gone. Insurers will have to make fluctuating, ambiguous ongoing changes to their polices. With no alternative.

It's laughably irresponsible.

There should be a plan, not a scramble into the void.

>"I'm genuinely curious about why equality is uncomfortable for you."

It's interesting how you straw-man the other person of being uncomfortable with a good-sounding word such as "equality". So, because they're against something noble as "equality" then they're automatically the bad guy?

I'm not the OP, but if you ask me I would tell you that we have different definitions of equality. People not like me want to write the wrongs of cosmic injustice and circumstance under the guise of fixing "discrimination" by treating people unequally. But really, at the end of the day, we would probably agree with you that equality is a good thing and we'd welcome a universe that was equal. But it's not; chance, circumstance and history dictate as much. It's not "equal" for the people being discriminated against so that this company can have a feel-good tick-box somewhere about being 50-50. Does this help out females that are potentially being treated unequally by society? Yes. Does this "throw out" perfectly good and capable males because they happen to be in the bath-water? Yes.

Two wrongs don't make a right. And it certainly isn't fair.

Until semi-recently, Git[1] wouldn't let you do a shallow checkout and still do useful things. For a large project, for most purposes, downloading all of history is pointless and immensely wasteful. SVN handles that just fine, and people who want git locally can use git-svn.

It's certainly possible to build a gender-equal tech team. But to argue that all tech companies could build a gender-equal tech team, with the current hiring pool, is a hell of an assertion.

Two years ago, the university I went to (top engineering school in the Northeast US) hosted a big panel for computer-field majors at the annual admissions event. Any students remotely interested in technical majors were invited to attend - you didn't even need to be accepted to the university.

The marketing for the event makes it as clear as possible that no prior programming experience is required, they just want to get people excited about computing. When I served on the panel as a CS student, I looked out the audience and saw a fully packed room (300+ people) of almost entirely white/Asian male prospective students and their parents. At that point, how does the industry recover and get a 50/50 gender ratio? The problem seems to start way before industry, as much as some would prefer to think otherwise.

> This example is good but surely an edge case.

Can you back that "surely" up with data or even anecdata, like a straw poll of things women are/aren't worried about when accepting offers? Anecdotally, I've heard numerous women say that they're worried about being the first woman hired on a team (and sometimes even the second) and they've made decisions to reject jobs based on that.

> A company's goal, in a capitalistic country, is to maximize profits, if you can prove that a 50/50 split does this (and getting there should be included in the cost), then great.

There's the classic story of Alan Greenspan's economic research firm, which prioritized hiring women because they were equally qualified but undervalued in the market, and they did pretty well (and in general I think that Alan Greenspan successfully doing a strategy is a sign that a capitalistic company should consider the strategy potentially valid).
Ah. If that is so (and it's not obvious - clearly you can get delivery or even read receipts without Bob sending an answer), then it would seem that a bad server could only intercept a long monologue, indeed, but not a conversation.

You should really read articles before you cite them, because neither use data after 2014, when the ACA provisions took effect.

The ACA report last month shows the opposite of what you're saying, that oupatient costs have dropped more than inpatient costs have risen, and that medical prices have not risen more than inflation.

> sometimes has really interesting things go wrong

I've still never felt sick from VR, but I can believe that. I was using Job Simulator on a PSVR a few days ago when the tracking started wigging out. Turns out, having the room you are 'in' randomly and repeatedly (every few seconds) moving around a few inches in a random direction and occasionally tilting away from vertical is a really quick way to completely lose your balance. I was lent forward reaching for something, and just completely froze in place until it settled itself - I knew that that if I kept moving there was no chance I wouldn't fall over, which is a weird sensation when you know on some level that the room isn't actually moving.

In hindsight, I could have just closed my eyes and/or removed the headset and stood up properly, but for some reason that didn't occur to me at the time (which I think is a testament to the sense of presence that VR can invoke).
And - as the article describes - such a blocking mode would immediately expose to WhatsApp which users had not enabled it, and who would therefore be safe(er) to MITM (because they probably don't verify key changes in any meaningful way).

Absolutely. There is no evident connection that can be done from the double checkmark to a "secured communication".

But when you think about it, the double check is a read confirmation so if we are in an end-to-end encrypted scenario, and the message content was read, it means the recipient's device was able to decrypt it successfully.

This tells you that the recipient is still using the same set of keys that your device thought it had and used to encrypt the message.
You can build and check against the binaries. What's your point?

I understand what Mattermark is trying to do here, and applaud them for trying, but the way the data is presented doesn't withstand scrutiny. There are far too many interceding variables for this analysis to have any merit. Namely (1) total deals done/varying market conditions in a given year, (2) yearly cohort size, (3) the fact that most Series A deals happen within 3 years of accelerator graduation, (4) not accounting for large seed deals, later stage deals, and exits. I don't quite understand how number of Series A deals equates to success in the first place, and I'm having trouble finding what this analysis proves, if anything.

There are different opinions whether D-Wave's quantum computer is able to solve interesting mathematical problems.

> Why do companies set this as a goal for themselves, or brag about it?

A lot of tech people I know feel a lot of guilt because of their success. They feel as though they don't deserve it, so they look for ways to "blame" their success on external factors. One of the ways this manifests is a strong desire to politic against anything that might ostensibly be perceived as unfair. In the strongly left-leaning SV community, things like institutional sexism are very obvious targets to project internal feelings of guilt onto.

I'm obviously not a psychologist or anything, but this is just my personal explanation I've built up after a few years living in the Bay Area.
