Your proposed solution is not feasible with the massively widening gap between the rich and poor in this nation.
A good exercise to pair with push ups is horizontal rows. They're easier than pull ups and don't require a pull up bar. I do them with a sturdy wooden broom handle between the back of 2 chairs.
This is silly, obviously, if I'm hiring somebody, I discriminate the others.
I was hoping that along with the standardization we'd get an explanation (in english) as to what these symbols mean.

I mean it's nice to know that we can standardize to:

- a pair of line wobblers

- two tornadoes of different intensity

- two different fountain rides with different camera angles and zooms

- getting mauled by a three-toed sloth, and

- the all important black box

but maybe for people with less inductive skill some words would help too.
Yes, and private health insurance companies have profits so huge that they're pulling out of the insurance markets left and right and saying "sorry, we're just not interested in this business anymore!" Arizona's had it worst – many places there are on their last insurer – but that's just a taste of the phenomenon.

The premium hikes are paying for the treatment of the "uninsurable" and chronically ill. Even the profitable for-profit insurers are only running margins of 3%, maybe 4% in a good year. You could turn them all nonprofit and it wouldn't really help premiums. (And people tried! Look at the health-care co-op collapses in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York, Nevada and Tennessee, and Oregon, as well!)
How does the fake ballot story not harm Hillary Clinton's reputation?
That's almost what he's saying, but the devil is in the details.

He's saying that within the Black community, there are fewer people who (for whatever reason) have the skills necessary to be a CRUD developer.

Reasons may include, but are not limited to:

- poverty and access to education

- cultural factors pertaining to the value of higher education

- cultural factors pertaining to the types of jobs that are valued (e.g.: perhaps Blacks take jobs that confer a certain status or that are seen as directly giving back to the community)

If this is true -- and I personally find it plausible -- then we would indeed expect blacks to be under-represented in software design.

tl;dr: Perhaps the bias in hiring is a reflection of a bias in competence. Perhaps Blacks are, on the whole, poorer candidates? If that's true, then the correct approach is to focus on education rather than punishing employers.
I'd love to have more insight into how this happened.

It seems like there's a pattern of high profile failures of highly funded science-based startups.

From the outside the science seems faulty from the start, the management team seems to have no strong scientific background.

Do investors really fund purely based on their force of personality? Personal connections? Do they see a big market and then ignore the scientific DD?

I'd love to understand this better.
This is how healthcare is set up in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

It is just an implementation issue how payments (through tax or otherwise) are routed. In a system that involves market forces, the key thing is that if everybody is insured, including the healthy, the cost per person comes down.
The threat of having to write unit tests will not have nearly the effect of actually writing them.

It's too easy to fool yourself into thinking you've written testable code.

You mean for charging or for connecting to peripherals?

It's going to happen for peripherals, but it's an ecosystem with two sides; you'll have laptops adding more and more USB-C ports as more support arrives, but it'll take time.

WRT charging, see e.g. this [1] year-old article - the implementations are going to take a while to get uniform enough for it to be a truly "standard" charger. But a wide variety of vendors are experimenting with it, and the future is bright.
A lot of times a company will have a decent idea of what their exit is, based on how much money is in their market, or how much similar companies have sold for. When that's the case, you need to ask.

1/3% (and that's generous) of a potentially $1B dollar company might seem like a lot, but after 10 years of dilution how much will you really have left? If your options dilute by 1/4 (also generous), you've made about an extra $80k a year, and that's not even with taxes subtracted. And don't forget the likely higher salary, raises, bonuses, stock grants, and medical care you get at a big 4 company.

It's possible that you can be be assured to make no extra money working for a startup, even with all the extra risk, depending on how those factors play out.
So, after a poor evolution strategy that lead the Python world to be split in two and forces maintainers to offer two versions for the same library, and upstream maintainers to offer support for two different python versions, the same is happening for Django!

I speculate that the latest Django 1.x will remain used - and possibly the most used - for a lot, lot of time.
No. It may be fair to compensate people for greater effort. But the person who was born tall does not deserve a greater share of the coconuts just because only he can reach them.

Our system not only greatly rewards/punishes circumstance of birth, it further rewards those who leverage their luck to secure more even advantage, while the unlucky are forced to compete with each other in a race to the bottom for the scraps.

Its true, coding in Rust makes you feel like a total moron at first. The experience actually reminded me of the time when I first picked up programming.

The next release, Django 1.11, will be a long-term support release, and the one after that, Django 2.0, will no longer support Python 2.

We have had this discussion for a very long time, and it has always centered around serde and diesel. Those have been the biggest nightly users since 1.0, and probably before then.
Agreed, but I think the point here is that when access to education is the problem, suing the employer is a bad solution.

Ah. My apologies for misreading. I went back and re-read what you wrote. Please correct me if the following interpretation is wrong:

First, you said that moral outrage is the motivation for "racist" policies such as Affirmative Action. Next, you said that moral outrage also motivates state-sponsored violence. (I suppose this does not constitute a comparison per se.)

I'm sorry, but I really don't see the point of bringing up the Nazis, if not to tar "state-forced equality" programs with the same brush of "moral outrage leading to moral impropriety". Can you help clear up my misunderstanding?
Can you explain the calculation to me? I am interested to understand the calculation so that I can perform similar calculations when I have two opportunities to choose from.

superqd mentioned he would have made $300K more (i.e. in addition to the fixed salary he was earning) if he had bought the options. I assume that after paying for taxes, he would have still made $200K. Since he worked for 8 years, this is indeed $25K of additional income for every year. If he worked for $35/hour for 40 hours/week for say 50 weeks in a year, his total income would have been 35 * 40 * 50 = 70K. How is this better than his original job which was probably paying him say $80K or greater than $80K as fixed salary every month? It sounds like it would have put him behind by at least $10K. What am I missing?
Personally doing barbell training, to roughly this extent and enjoying it a lot

I don't think that's a recipe for everyone: I got a lot buffer than I was (had to buy new pants / shirts because of the increase in my chest and thigh girth), I am definitely healthier than I ever was: no more back pain, no more grunting like an old man when getting out of my chair, haven't had to use any antibiotics in 3 years (I used to get a lot of ENT infections).

Now, I could have achieve the healthy part by just doing some cardio/bodyweight exercises (e.g.: pushups/pullups). Powerlifting is, by far, out of all the regimen I researched, the most bang for your buck. However, not everyone wants/needs to build muscle/get buffed more than necessary, and deadlifting 2x your body-weight is certainly unnecessary (but extremely gratifying!).

You say this in jest, but you bring up a good point: the term "discrimination" has become loaded.

The question isn't whether or not there's discrimination. It's about whether said discrimination is unfair or unethical. Racial discrimination is generally considered unethical and unfair. But, simply observing a statistical bias doesn't mean that the discrimination took place on the basis of race. It is, in principle, possible for qualified candidates to be unevenly distributed.
Top 20 MCQ on Mutual Exclusion and Synchronization in OS  – InfoTechSite
Use of the word 'never' opened me up to an 'exception to the rule' attack. It was not the most careful word choice, and so I stand corrected that there are 5 women who apparently wanted to work offshore. I'm not talking about 5 women. We're talking about trends. There are always exceptions.

OK, so convince me you're right. Ignoring your condescending, short-termpered, dismissive remark based on attacking some minutiae in what I said (that we can both agree doesn't change anything), we now have an example of one very American, money-making lawsuit, representing 5 people. Alright, so what substantial movement can you source to convince me that you are right that women are seeking equal representation working on oil rigs in the north sea? What about auto mechanics? Plubming? There's many entrepreneurial businesses such as those that require no hiring decision. Why are women so underrepresented there? The work is much less physically demanding or as dangerous as working on off shore oil rigs.

Because it isn't simply about material wealth. Money is power. People with money have a far greater say in shaping our world, and have more freedom. Conversely those with little have little say and little freedom. Even the part of our society that is supposed to be egalitarian regardless of wealth or station, our government, is ruled by those with money. "One person, one vote" means nothing in a society where money buys elections and elected officials.

It's about having a fair and free society. Would you rather have a gourmet dinner every night in prison, or a PB&J in a free and egalitarian community?

Hey Matt - will you build a firearm owners registry if a future President or Congress passes it?
Indeed. If it were discharged through bankruptcy, I think we'd see lenders making much more critical decisions (and a lot of firms who talk a good game but add no value going out of business).
I think this is availability bias. Many large (> $100M) deals happen all the time in early stage life sciences but don't get picked up by the tech press or covered as "startups". A few high profile stories flame out spectacularly like this but they are typically already the outsiders to the industry.

To the specific scenario, when N is small all kinds of idiosyncratic bad decision making can happen.

It does matter. He's arguing that actual people should have a greater right to privacy than do corporations.

Granted, this is not a legal argument, but an ethical one.

Moreover, he might actually have some legal standing (INAL, etc) since there are laws that mandate corporate transparency whereas there are no direct equivalents for private persons.
Could be why. You can't really "transfer over" to US offices easily, however, even if you are already an employee. You have to have an H1b.

Investigating causal relationships would be another study.

Note that this data is by no means undisputed. It does not come from Apple and Google but from various analytics services with unclear coverage:

1. Do these numbers include ad revenue?

2. Do these numbers include music, magazine and movie sales?

3. Do the Android number include Amazon and the Chinese stores?

4. Do the Apple numbers include desktop apps?

5. Do the Google numbers include chrome extensions?

6. Do Google numbers include third party services such as spotify and netflix? (from the article, the Apple numbers seem to do that)

7. Do Google numbers include hardware sales (via the Play store)?

With that said, both stores are showing extreme growth so neither is a dead end and you will be happy which ever you choose:

I've worked in a company where this shift happened in front of my eyes.

Basically I concluded that they have very clear people/employee hierarchy therefore Indian who is in top-position will rather deal with another Indian as a lower worker because he will be able to order him around like a puppet. Therefore he will vouch to hire more Indians.

This may sound like a generalisation and it probably is, but I've seen this exact shift of company having less than 10% Indian to 80%+. And i've seen how they treat each other.

Checked exceptions also forces thinking critically about failure modes, but they seem to be an unpopular language feature, and few new libraries seem to use them. No other popular language has adopted them.

Why are optionals good and checked exceptions bad? (I'm certainly not implying that one replaces the other - i'm just saying that it they both have an origin of forcing programmers to think about errors)
