> Guess what: EVERYONE IS SECRETLY RACIST.

> Everyone is carrying around unconscious biases in them. It's built into being human, so bullshit if you're about to say you're somehow immune.

> Look, the problem isn't that you or I have unconscious biases. That's normal. That's human.

Agreed, and I don't think I am (or anyone else is) immune.

> The problem is that we insist we don't, we're doing everything right already, and there's nothing wrong. That's where the problem is. That's how this shitty status quo that has effectively locked minorities into a second-class life gets perpetuated.

I'm not insisting we don't. My point is that it's easy to get defensive when it's implied that you're racist over and over again regardless of the truthfulness.

It's not even good for the people allegedly being discriminated against. When focus and resources are put on the wrong area (e.g. tech company employee racial proportions), it just frustrates those of us in the industry and ignores the actual reasons for the issue (mostly cultural). We could be spending that money and resources toward getting girls into tech at a young age, or getting more computers into inner-city schools. Something that might actually affect the hiring pool.

But we don't have that discussion because the lawsuits imply the problem is with tech companies. Whether it is or not isn't even a discussion because it appears to be rampant if you've never been in a hiring role in the tech industry. If you have, you know what the hiring pool looks like, and you know you (and other companies) are being held to an unreachable standard if you're expected to align with racial proportions that don't apply to tech.

I know that. I even knew it at the time (though it might have been a different site). They might even have known it. I wanted to see how they would react to my reasonable--albeit unexpected--request for records that are supposed to be viewable by any person who walks in off the street.

At the time, I was toying with the idea of using a company's public H1B records as a way to give me an advantage in salary negotiations. After seeing the reaction of this one company, I decided not to do that.

I don't support Trump or the unconstitutional American deep state, but you realize there is already a Muslim registry right?

In fact there are probably several competing implementations in various intelligence agencies, with substantially overlapping contents. Probably almost every agency has the capability to run

select first_name, last_name, home_address from us_residents where religion = 'muslim';

And get largely right answers. Similarly, there is already a border wall with Mexico.

>It's so adorable that I don't want people's human rights to be violated

...except when the boardroom does it, and boardrooms do it all day every day, in far, far greater measure than the governments in our business-run society. That reality is what makes the word "freedom" in your mouth SO adorable.

For example, here's a very small sampling of daily, real authoritarian tyranny that libertarians are perfectly fine with, along with the commonly given justifications: employers drug testing employees (just get another job!), making and selling military equipment for cops to use (herp derp markets!), private profit in markets with inelastic demand such as health insurance (all people are islands with no interest in the health of neighbors nor in their bankruptcies!), industrial pollution (just move somewhere else!), racial, gender or age discrimination at a place of business (freedom of association!), heightened tax burden for communities thanks to tax dodging by the communities' businesses (taxation is theft!) and on and on and on.

>Nothing "ends" when the employer wants to end the relationship.

And with this awesome nugget of sterling wrongness, we learn that the bubble in which you live apparently excludes the hundreds and hundreds of towns across this country that have become chained-shut, fentanyl-addicted hellholes precisely because the town's main employer and tax base ended the relationship -- usually in order to hire overseas children for pennies instead.

Imagine living in a bubble so tiny that anyone could miss
that.

>Unions succeeded in getting the public on their side, and the result was a vast number of new laws being passed that restrict the right of the majority of workers and employers, for the benefit of the lucky few in unions.
Unions still exist, but thanks to the laws they passed

Yes, yes, we know the weekend, the eight-hour day, overtime, workplace safety and the end of child labor infringe on your freedom. That's exactly the point of the laws: to stop tyranny from people like you whose tiny bubble-worlds enable you to overlook the roasted corpses of workers trapped in fires engulfing factories run as shoddily as your freedom has allowed. Unlimited freedom for you means limited freedom for me, and you can bet we won't allow it.

I usually work lower down the stack, and, frankly, that level of code quality would not be acceptable. (But what you describe matches my experince writing application level code)

Here is a strawman low level test: Randomly generate a sequence of nonsensical (but legal) API calls by randomly generating some data layout, then feed it into a state machine of legal API calls (eg. CRUD), and check the return values. Once that runs for 10 minutes without crashing, extend the test to be multithreaded and run with 1000 thread for a few hours. Dial back the runtime to 60 seconds, and stick it in the regression suite.

As long as there is a well defined API, this finds most bugs (and I also write targeted tests to exercise tricky / error prone paths).

Any thoughts on why it is so much harder to implement reliable high level frameworks? Is it dynamically typed languages / lack of encapsulation, or something more fundamental?
Completely agree! Another comment has mentioned beakerbrowser.com, and at IPFS we're about to get js-ipfs in the browser to interoperate with go-ipfs. The goal with js-ipfs and the firefox addon is (1) seamless support for fs:/ipfs/somehash URIs, and (2) to offer the ipfs APIs to webpages.

I agree that we're not at equilibrium when it comes to rights, respect, and various other gender issues. But I don't know if _that_ explains the gender imbalance in jobs. Just as an example, I don't know that brick masonry is ever going to have a 50/50 male/female gender split. It's a very physically taxing job, and males tend to have stronger arm muscles for lifting and placing bricks all day.
LastPass is so buggy, I have a draft blog post that I'm going to publish some day listing the dozens of bugs I've found. It's still the least worse cross-platform password manager (with sharing and sync features) that I've tried.

Thanks! A quick followup, how long have you been doing this? And, I guess, are you a generally skeptical person?

Sorry, I don't understand. If the problem is a hypothetical situation where a compromised developer uploads malicious code, then how does IPFS relieve any pressure from that circumstance?

Individual IPFS nodes are certainly blindly trusting the developer's signature as a stamp of approval. Adding more nodes doesn't make that problem better. It makes it worse by providing a greater false sense of security.

In the case of a compromised server operator, as long as hosting company X is smaller than Amazon, it's always better to use Amazon's cloud service to mitigate the possibility of server operator tampering.
"...at least those parts that are in their control." And there's the rub! In the article, the author notes that Ukrainian command-and-control is used in the attacks on these western services... and if they were attacking Ukrainian services, they wouldn't locate their command-and-control there.

You've identified an obvious solution and presumed that no-one is pursuing it, in dereliction of the facts.
Improv. I've been taking classes at a local improv theater in Houston and it has been the most enjoyment I've gotten out of an activity in many years. For two hours a week I am encouraged to say, do, be anything that comes into my head, and react to situations without the filters I have to abide by at work and at home. I'm almost done with Level 1, and have our "graduation show" next weekend. After that comes level 2 and a few more advanced topics and methods.

Web App Development and Computer Science. I don't plan on making it a career but I started learning to program a few years ago after reading The Innovators by Walter Isaacson and it turned into a healthy addiction. Right now I'm throwing together a video library, actually for my improv theater, with Django to search for videos by improv troupe. I'm also doing Harvard's online CS50 course because I want to dive a little deeper into the science of it all.

Those were great! I'm pretty good at doing math in my head and my brain still visualizes numbers and their relationships based on lengths and colors. In 1970s Sweden they were called "tiostavar", "ten-sticks". They were made of high quality painted wood and very tactile and pleasant to work with. The lengths were precise so they would add up properly in any combination, and the widths were equal to one unit of length so you could make areas and volumes.

As a new grad, the USDS was my top choice but I was constantly stonewalled by recruiters saying that I wasn't experienced enough.

HTTP is centered around hosts being the authority over what content a certain URL maps to, while IPFS and other content-addressed systems don't have a notion of server/client, or central authority. The content itself is the authority, as its name is derived from the content itself.

I would def. disagree with your analysis on the mental challenges involved with free time activities, other than video games.

There's a huge mental part of sports in re: to strategy and team playing. Even solitary sports requires a huge mental effort under duress. Think about a rock climb - or trying to PR in a foot race - your brain is firing nonstop to analysis your surroundings to not fall/go as fast as possible.

Other people like to take things apart and put them together again, like a car, or a motorcycle.

Other people write fiction - are you saying that weaving a complicated plot isn't a mental challenge?

To preserve formatting when copy-pasting, I'd go with Wordpress,
you'll save time and all your images can be also be imported in one or two clicks.

Honestly I don't know if other platforms such as Blogger/Blogspot preserves formatting, but I hope so.

For the maps and images, which I assume only cover part of the slideshow, for each slide do screencaptures of only the images (that is, they will be already cropped and separated from the text, hope I explained myself).

After you finish exporting all your images as individual pieces, it will be very easy to import them into place in your Wordpress.
