Mor believes the situation for women in high tech in Israel is better than in other areas, partly due to the military.

“The military is a huge part in really building personality and providing skills,” Mor said. “It brings you to a certain level of equivalence.”

Teicher concurs, saying the IDF prefers to have female soldiers in certain positions.

You can pick up this 96 core server right now for $4,000. $4,000 is nothing in the world of DC servers.

The 'big dog' avantek sells right now seems to be this 384 core 2U solution at around $15,000.

These are very cheap pieces of hardware. Price up a HP Proliant with multiple 8 core Xenons and see how crazy that pricing gets, not to mention the power usage. Pricing is good right now for ARM. The question is does ARM work for what you're computing? According to this article, ARM is probably best for high thoroughput and high RAM solutions, not necessarily number crunching:

Mind you, those dual Xenons its competing against go for anywhere between $7,000 to $3,000 each. That's just the CPU street price before the HP/Dell markup and, of course, the rest of the server. Ask a VAR what a dual or quad E5-2699 v3 or current v4's goes for. You're probably looking at a $25,000 to maybe even $50,000 box here.
I believe the flaws are well-documented and there isn't much dispute over them, though not all of them are real problems.

I also don't think it's the lack of language features that makes it bad. This is something that is getting addressed.

What really does cause problems is the basic types, the type "system" and the way numbers are treated/represented.

> And yet judges talk about the "spirit of law", as distinct from the "letter of the law", all the time.

No, they don't; I've read lots of legal decisions, and that phrase or anything like it is rarely invoked. Pundits, not judges, are prone to talk about the spirit of the law as opposed to the letter; judges are more prone to talk about legislative intent (not "spirit of the law"), not distinct from the letter of the law, but as part of the analysis of which of several facially plausible meanings the letter of the law should be given in the context of the specific fact pattern presented in the case they are dealing with.

17 years ago I worked in santa clara, lived 7 miles away in milpitas. It took me 1h15m to get to/from work.

These days, I walk downstairs to the kitchen and turn right into the office. I am, however, about to double my commute. This office is sometimes hard to work from when there is lots happening, so I’m building an office in the basement to stay away from the chaos.

One of my favorite anecdotes is from an old episode of Car Talk. A woman called in to ask if the following was ok (I'm paraphrasing from memory):

"So my neighbor, who's from a former Soviet Bloc country is a great guy who helps me out when my car breaks down. One time my battery is dead, so he offers to jump start my car. While I look on baffled, then shocked, he unscrews his car's battery from the mounting, then flips it over and presses the contacts directly to my car's battery. It started though! So is that safe?"

To further paraphrase the guys' responses... "Oh god no!!!" They further went on to point out though, that at some point when your life is dangerous and hard as a kind of background state, the little things stop even grabbing your notice.

The degree of black marketeering in the USSR was just... staggering. Systemic. Understood to be "how the system works". Sometimes though you get tragedies like Vladimir Komarov.

The space vehicle is shoddily constructed, running dangerously low on fuel; its parachutes — though no one knows this — won't work and the cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov, is about to, literally, crash full speed into Earth, his body turning molten on impact. As he heads to his doom, U.S. listening posts in Turkey hear him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship."

Nice. My the new office I’m building in the basement will overlook my “back yard” - about 4 acres of trees at the top of a hill so I have a nice view of the valley below.
Dublin, Ireland - office is ~ 7km away.

Commute comprises one of the following:

- cycle for 25mins via a mix of on-road cycle lanes and dedicated cycle lane.

- tram for 10 mins + cycle (utilising the public DublinBikes service) for 20 mins

- tram for 35 mins + 15-10 mins walk (usually reserved for when it's really wet).

Driving is probably in the region of 60-90 minutes (I don't even bother).

Bus is ~ 60-65 mins mostly because we don't have dedicated bus lanes for the whole length of my commute so traffic is a factor (having to transfer also has an impact).

Walking is ~ 90mins depending on route chosen (traffic lights / road crossing delays have a considerable impact on total time).

Cycling in Dublin is by far the quickest way to get around during peak traffic times since the majority of the city is made up of single lane (per direction) streets and far too many people try and drive single occupancy vehicles into / through the city. Infrastructure is OK (lagging behind London with it's progress with cycle highways) with a city council focused on moving the most amount of people through the city quickly and efficiently (retailers and public opinion are resisting this push despite it being the right strategy in the longer run).

Many people think it rains too much in Dublin for walking / cycling to be a reasonable option but the data indicates people's perception are far off the mark (5-10 days/year where it's proper wet and full-on wetgear is required).
It's not rare. Everyone is telling you it's not rare! Women keep saying it's not rare! If you had any interest in looking at the issue honestly you'd know this. Computers can't teach you about the subtleties of power dynamics and politics. You only think this because you're sheltered, so please stop telling women their experiences aren't valid.

Also, do you really think your own anecdote of "I stare at a screen all day and haven't noticed sexual harassment" is more useful?
No need to apologize, it was a reasonable assumption. As you say though, I don't think living memory (at least not much) extends to that kind of crisis. Most living memory no longer recalls a lot of important lessons that we culturally believe we've learned "forever".

We haven't. People never learn lessons forever.
We were in a negotiation to purchase photo.com. The asking price was around $1.5M and we had worked out an agreement where we would purchase the domain at a discount (in exchange for revenue share) and make the payments in equal parts over 12 months.

There were target revenue numbers and penalties if we were unable to make the monthly payment of around $80k.

Thank goodness the deal fell through.
Web apps are fine, I believe the issue is Apple wants to prevent apps from updating their Objective-C code. Anything run by WebKit is fine. From the Rollout page linked above:

I'm a nomad (I change country, city, job, everything about every 2 years).
Since my moving around the globe is work-driven (I find a job in a new place and move there), when I arrive in a new city I usually look for a place at most 40 mins public transportation from the office.
I'm not a fan of cars: I find them quite inefficient and the idea of driving my butt everyday to and from work fighting with traffic doesn't sounds much appealing when I can doze off on a train :D

You're right, I should have said "product" or something similar and made it clear that I wasn't referring to EV tech on the whole.
It probably isn't, and they know this, but good luck getting a court to agree with you on it.
Maybe. If so, only on a much smaller scale. A lot of the automation in Blockchain tech might actually help the banks and law firms make even more money by having to employ fewer people.
If there is a gap, it's nothing compared to the figures our last President liked to throw out. I can believe there are some Mad Men-era guys lingering around huge corporations, but they are exceptions to rule (I've never seen it). Let me go ask my female team lead how subjugated she feels.
My experience as well. I tend to praise Toyota as Tesla Lite, but I've had one Toyota dealer just refer me to a body shop (although another did take over some work themselves).
I'm 28 and work as an IT Security Sales Engineer/Solutions Consultant in London. Typically I'm called when a Security Operations Centre is being built; mostly insurance/finance type companies but not always.

Previously a Java back-end dev, then Security Analyst, stint of consulting and now FTE Sales Engineer for approx 3 years.

Last year I made around £175k. This year I will definitely make at least that, but it's likely I'll be closer to £200k.

My total package is broken down roughly as 50% basic salary, 25% commission, 25% stock vesting monthly which I auto sell and take in my pay slip.

I have quite niche skills in IT Security, and I'm consistently ranked at the top of my team worldwide. Working for a major company.
The Montessori school I went to didn't have an abacus for us to use, but to your point, the physical representations of 10^1 (a row of 10 beads), 10^2 (a 10x10 square of beads), and 10^3 (a 10x10x10 cube of beads) using beads helped me understand exponents much more quickly. Unfortunately we did not have a 10x10x10x10 tesseract of beads.
~35 minutes. I barely notice it most days because I'm usually reading or listening to a podcast. It's also vastly superior to the 90 min drive I used to have.
Yes, cycling is 11-12 minutes there at an easy pace and 16 back due to elevation. Sadly, my bike was stolen in 2015 and I haven't settled on a replacement yet.

Walking is about 30 minutes for me both ways, but I would rather have the option to leave later in the morning and go home for lunch. That said, it's a lovely way to start the morning, so I hope to walk more once the wind chill eases up a few degrees!

Either way, I'd be going through high-crime areas, but I feel very safe.
I just ordered a (non-2-in-1, Kaby Lake) 13" XPS yesterday. To be honest, I was against ordering from Dell after reading about all of the quality control issues (just see the Dell subreddit for the sheer volume of problems), but got sucked in by a very good sale price (am paying CAD ~ $2000 including taxes for a 13", 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 4k Touch). I haven't even received the laptop and I'm already regretting my purchase. My order was "held up" and I had to call in to speak with a Dell sales rep for about an hour to get it to go through. What I discovered later by doing some reading is that essentially what happened is that my order was of high enough value that it was flagged, such that the sales rep could cancel the online order, replace it with a new one, and collect a commission on it. I'm more than slightly annoyed by this because in doing so, he invalidated a rebate of about $200 that I would have collected on the initial purchase (through ebates.ca). I know it sounds outlandish, but this happens consistently to people in forums that I have read. The sales rep even half-admitted it to me that the order was flagged because it reached a certain price threshold. This is Dell Canada, so other countries may have different experiences. Super shady business practice, if you ask me.

I know I'm saving a ton of money over a similarly-(but still inferior)-spec'd MBP (would run me about $2600 Canadian all-in, with no touch bar), but I already have such a bad taste in my mouth that unless the machine is flawless on delivery (the odds of which seem low, based on reading other people's experiences), it's getting returned and I'll take my business elsewhere.

Unless you're using much smaller eggs than I do, 7 minutes must leave you with almost wet yolks. With standard US "Extra Large" eggs, 13 minutes is a fully-opaque yolk, down to around 9-10 minutes where the center of the yolk is much darker. It's been a while, but I think US "Large" eggs maybe only subtract about a minute from those times.
Despite having the same job since late 2014 my commute sure has changed a lot... Office was originally in Seattle, I've been moving around on the eastside between Redmond/Renton(south side)/Bellevue and now the office is in Bellevue. At first it was ~10 minute drive to a park and ride (or sometimes unofficially WageWorks' parking lot across the street when the p&r was full, or MS's underground parking, depending on which p&r I went to...) followed by ~25-45 mins (again depending on p&r on the bus, but the shorter one almost always meant no seat). Saved me from the 520 toll, which at a previous job was absent and then a reasonable fee at the beginning but I always took the non toll bridge home.

Anyway at my current job my whole team became remote so I just started working from home, and that lasted for a little over two years and a couple moves. It's nice rolling out of my bed and slumping over to the next room to begin the day though. When I was in Renton for a year, just driving to work took ~45 minutes, I never tried taking the bus since that would have easily taken at least 90 minutes and that would be after driving 10-20 mins to a p&r likely to be full. Renton wasn't great for going out. My housemate worked in Bellevue at the time, and the new toll lanes on I-405 screwed him (and everyone really) over. Still causes traffic problems today I think. It was bad enough he wouldn't leave the house until 10 or 11am and not come home until past 7pm and the traffic still wasn't great.

Moved back to Bellevue a year ago, and while I still worked from home at least I could get to the office reasonably quickly again via going to a p&r and taking a short 20-30 minute bus ride, or drive if I had to. (Paying for parking sucks.) The office moved to Bellevue in January and I started coming in again, alternating carpooling with my housemate (he gets free parking) & taking the bus. Still 20 mins at the right time or 45+ respectively.

Just wrapped up another move and now I'm a short 7 minute drive away, or 5 mins of walking plus a 12-15 min bus ride and another 4 mins. When it's warmer I can probably walk the whole way in ~45 mins.
I'm sorry -- "detach", not "kill".
Seattle: Live 2 miles from work. Walk most days (45 minutes), which is longer than taking the bus (20 minutes). Usually take the bus if I'm tired or not trying to stand around in the rain.

I walk about 25 steps to get from my bed to my office. I used to take the train into NYC from SE Brooklyn which took anywhere from 35 minutes to 2 hours.

I don't disagree that computers/electronic calculators are appropriate tools for engineering, science and business classes, even at the secondary or primary school levels. Those are contexts where numerical computation with "messy" numbers are necessary. Insisting on manual calculation in such a context would be tedious and of no pedagogical value. I was only talking about math classes, where exam questions can be made up with "clean" numbers so that there is never any need for using a calculator.

Although, given that we are in 2017, I really don't think that the traditional pocket calculator is a good tool in any educational context. In any context where using a pocket calculator makes sense, a full-fledged computer makes much more sense (except perhaps elementary school science classes). If you are numerically solving equations in an engineering class (e.g. dynamics), then you should really be using something like MATLAB or Python (or Julia!). Similarly, if you are analyzing a financial statement in an accounting class, it would make far more sense to use a spreadsheet rather than an HP 12C calculator. Using a computer would be much more convenient and have far greater pedagogical value for "real-world" training in such contexts.

I think the only reason that pocket calculators are prevalent in higher education contexts (such as your dynamics course) is that it is more difficult to cheat on an exam using a calculator (e.g. smuggling in notes) than it is with a full-fledged computer. But that is really a computer security issue and there ways to solve that problem which don't involve a throwback to antiquated, 1960s desktop computing technology.
The article is based on the circumstances that perpetuate a wage gap under the guise that the awareness of gender discrimination applies to wages for programmers.

I like the cause: awareness of gender discrimination, harassment and awareness of contributions in the workforce.

I think the wage gap is tangential to these circumstances, when there is evidence to the contrary for equally qualified individuals in software engineering roles. This isn't saying that gender based averages won't reveal the existence of a gap, it is saying that the current discussion misses the mark, as if this is a form of harassment that is either deliberate or unconscious bias that people simply aren't aware of, when there are other circumstances that are more nuanced and likely more prevalent, in the field of "coding".
We use scikit-learn to train the models every few weeks when we get more labeled data. Once a model is trained we use joblib to save the entire pipeline (normalization, feature processing etc). In production we have a thin Rest wrapper that loads the model pipeline to memory and serves prediction requests. We scale the number of these servers based on the load.
I meant that the WebCrypto API does not rely on network transmission and that window.crypto and window.crypto.subtle are read-only properties in compliant implementations. Those two characteristics alone would seem to solve many of the problems enumerated on https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/about-us/newsroom-and-events/b..., namely the chicken-egg problem of secure javascript transmission and the malleability of the JS runtime.

I'd be interested in reading about how SJCL's interface is cryptographically superior. Superior/inferior seem to have a particular definition in this context, and I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. I know you're an expert in the field and would love some more context on how I should be cautious with WebCrypto.
