Unicode does not require fonts to use color, and the spec does try to deal with the case where you don't want to use color; explicitly talking about black-and-white renderings in multiple places. This is no different for the skin tone modifiers, it's perfectly okay to fall back to a greyscale emoji (indeed, it might make sense to render all emoji in greyscale or B&W in a text editor).
I mean Inbox is just an alternative Gmail client, so its not like you can't communicate between Gmail and inbox. This is not the case for e.g. hangouts and allo
You realize there's actually a severe gender imbalance in who chooses to go into STEM fields in college, right?

Privige has nothing to do with it; for whatever reasons, women don't actually want to study tech fields. I actually find it pretty ridiculous and patronizing that people like you insist that there's something wrong with the world because women don't make the career choices you think they ought to.

I think mattermost is an appealing alternative, but don't think it has the potential to dominate the enterprise market, but more develop as a successful niche player for the most security conscious companies. It's also something I imagine the other players will address at some point for some kind of a premium enterprise offering.

opiate addiction may not be that prevalent in Bangladesh; but from what I understand Methamphetamine (popularly known as 'Yaba') is a significant problem.

the history of 'Bengal Opium', especially its production & distribution is indeed a fascinating one.
The historical fiction by Amitav Ghosh in his "Ibis Trilogy" is very illuminating:

No. Plex doesn't support encryption, the data coming from the cloud providers needs to be plaintext.

Google Drive and Dropbox have shown in the past that they're fine with you storing copyrighted content, you just can't share copyrighted content through their platform.

This is why Dropbox and Google Drive are still supported while Amazon Cloud Drive was removed.

That said, you can still set this up yourself with a VPS, you just need to use rclone's mount feature with encryption or something like encfs.
Is there any evidence to back up that claim?
That's not how Plex works. A library can be shared with any number of users that you invite into your account.
> I have poor eyesight, no amount of practice would ever allow me to throw a spear and hit a wild animal.

What, specifically, is your eyesight problem? There's some growing suggestive evidence that our eyes need time outside in bright sunlight to develop properly. Depending on your particular sight problem, it may very well be the case that a failure to be outside attempting to throw a spear and hit a wild animal as a child is the cause of your problem.

It sounds like these Snyk folks have a CLI that can check your node modules against their database. I haven't tried it though, so all I have to go on is their feature page.
Hi, thats a good point and the approach you describe would work for a single Redis instance. In our case, we were using Twemproxy in front of Redis and it doesn't support Redis's "SCRIPT LOAD" command so we would need a way to load the script on each Redis node ahead of time. One other concern when using EVAL and EVALSHA through Twemproxy is guaranteeing that all keys in the command map to the same Redis node, in our case we only had one key so wasn't a concern. Documentation on that can be found here https://github.com/twitter/twemproxy/blob/master/notes/redis...
How does Cloud Functions for Firebase handle node modules with native code add-ons?
Looks like it will from the screenshots (https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HeFnmVgMiJ8/WMDL3f4TQgI/AAAAAAAAB...) - each app will have it's own icon and hooks into emails/threads. I too have built a few gmail integrated apps and this will be super nice and convenient.
Obviously true. Women as a group are shorter than men as group, but some women are taller than some men. That seems so trivially obvious as to not bear mentioning.

But, there's a substantial amount of evidence that if you pair up a woman and man in the same situation, the man in contemporary society has a lot of intrinsic advantages. He has easier access to relevant education and social networks. His applications, work, and words are judged more highly simply for having a male name on them.
I wouldn't trust a one time fee app to be properly maintained though.
Being more confident than average is not the same thing as being overconfident.
As a committed founder your entire life is wrapped up in your company, not just your career but to an extent your health, your relationships and your family all depend on this one bet paying off. ...and more frequently it's taking even the most successful startups nearly a decade to reach an IPO/liquidity. Talented employees hired at full market value have a lot less lock in/risk and a much lower switching cost than founders. Also investors place many bets and don't live and die with each of them. As the founder you have one big bet, and setting aside the wreckage that can create in a founders life... it also can encourage them to make overly cautious decisions that aren't aligned with the investor's and employee's long term interests. Taking a reasonable amount of money off the table to take care of your family and have some security is perfectly reasonable.
I'm sorry for your situation but articles like these are looking at trends across groups. They're not meant to insinuate that every man is in a better position than every woman. The article talks about surveying 1,000+ men and women. Undoubtedly, some of the men in that sample had less confidence than some of the women. It doesn't make it invalid to analyze statistics across the group overall.
I was using "decentralized" in the "sees censorship as damage and routes around it" sense. Whatever you think of the nature of control over and flexibility of networks, the topology is simpler and less flexible with major providers having closed peering, and this does not ebb and flow.

Also, it was not "one big change." It happened over frog-boiling years.
The real question is whether there's any real IP to be had. Their demo video was faked, after all -- was there any work "behind the scenes" on a functional prototype, or is the portfolio limited to the (now worthless) brand?
> Yeah weird how people hold up IPO as a holy grail

Because employees actually gain out of it. That's also a benefit as it gives more people financial freedom and they can go off and do their own companies. Instead these people get locked in to AirBnB for years.
It is nice that Blue Origin is intended to be reusable, but Long March 5/6/7 and Ariane 6 and Vulcan and Angora and GSLV mkIII are all not reusable.
You're conflating an iPhone with a smartphone...
From the comments here you would think there is a negativity competition. Chat and Meet are sorely needed, and make GSuite a viable replacement for heterogenous services: HipChat, Slack, GTM, Zoom, Uberconference, etc. Some organizations have all of these deployed simultaneously, along with GSuite, this is a huge win for easier management and lower cost. You can complain about fragmentation of their chat strategy all day long, but most of the apps mentioned here are designed for consumers, not businesses.
What evidence would satisfy you?
This Onion article really nails this point: http://www.theonion.com/article/unambitious-loser-with-happy...
Almost exact same situation here. I was rejected by TripleByte and ended up getting offers at many of the companies I applied to. I had the same feelings about the interviewer as the parent comment.

I wouldn't say it was particularly bad, but it was worse than average compared to my other interviews.
I think it offends them on a basic level... after all it makes their silly purchases so much more obviously silly. It probably explains why at high income levels, people still collect so much useless shit just for the sake of having it. It's also why there's a $10,000 iPhone, or ones you get crusted with jewels.

The aristocracy is always seeking to distinguish themselves from the "Nouveau", and far more so from the "peasants". That's not a nice thing to think though, so it's rapidly sent through cognitive/ideological/religious filters and produces a more agreeable output for the thinker.
I'm not sure if the option is in the Fi app or the Hangouts app, but I allowed Hangouts to manage my SMS on the phone. It behaves as my Google Voice number did before: SMS (as hoped) and phone calls (not so useful in practice) pop up in Gmail as well as on the phone.
Gender has a bit to do with it currently tho. I have met people who openly questioned my choice of career based on gender and stopped only when I proved myself - that made me assume I am less likely to suceed by bluffing like many guys do. I still think so.

You don't have that factor, through your condition sounds pretty bad.
You can easily find the evidence yourself, if you care. It's everywhere in the literature.

For starters though, try this dumb little quiz (not that I expect it will change your mind):

There are multiple ways of counting "length" of a string. Number of UTF-8 bytes, number of UTF-16 code units, number of codepoints, number of grapheme clusters. These are all distinct yet valid concepts of "length."

For the purpose of allocating buffers, I can see the obvious use in knowing number of bytes, UTF-16 code units, or the number of codepoints. I also see the use in being able to iterate through grapheme clusters, for instance for rendering a fragment of text, or for parsing. Perhaps someone can shed light on a compelling use case for knowing the number of grapheme clusters in a particular string, because I haven't been able to think of one.

I'm not sure about calculating password lengths: if the point is entropy, the number of bytes seems good enough to me!

The password field bug is possibly compelling, but I don't think it's obvious what a password field should do. Should it represent keystrokes? Codepoints? Grapheme clusters? Ligatures? Replace all the glyphs with bullets during font rendering?

(Similarly, perhaps someone could explain why they think reversing a string should be a sensible operation. That this is hard to do is something I occasionally hear echoing around the internet. The best I've heard is that you can reuse the default forward lexicographic ordering on reversed strings for a use I've forgotten.)
Honestly I don't know what the effects would be. I imagine a definite impact on personal relationships, particularly with individuals who remain more fully enveloped by their own filter bubbles. I do however think it's a great idea and I'm excited to see your idea as an extension.

The problem is our collective perception of what criminal justice means to Americans.

The parent poster immediately shifted "partial" blame to the victim because she is a "criminal".

Until we change the perception that criminal = bad person and therefore subject to any punishment nothing of importance will change.
I guess I don't understand what you meant by "backwards," then.
> And I don't see why that's not feasible.

Because law enforcement is made up of the same imperfect, mistake making humans as the bone-headed civilians that committed the offense.
"damn near universal" is the biggest myth going around, implicitly and explicitly, in this thread. The data is clear, even in 2014, when cheap android phones were damn near universally terrible.

Right, how many of those do exist with an internal architecture that will fit the Lambda model?
My grandfather owned many apple orchards, and he said without migrant labor, he would have had to go out of business years ago. He could not hire US citizens as workers because nobody that is born here wants to climb trees all day picking fruit for minimum wage. This was back in the 80s. He also had very good things to say about how hard-working and dedicated the migrant workers were.

Now, you might argue that without migrant labor, he should just pay a decent wage, but what is a decent wage for hard manual labor? Would you be ok with paying $10 an apple at the grocery store because someone was paid $30-40 an hour to pick them?

The narrative that illegal immigrants are all criminals is deeply flawed and inaccurate.
It seems Google is very interested in making GCP a platform for companies that really need to build cloud-based distributed systems first and foremost. It's a cloud-native IaaS platform. AWS, which I also use extensively FWIW, has always felt more like a platform for porting existing on-premise applications onto. You can build atop of AWS at any stage of the game, but it never quite feels like it's anymore than a bunch of very integrated parts with various degrees of quality.
Google Drive and Dropbox both have extensive history regarding the storage of copyrighted content which basically boils down to storing it is fine, sharing it through the platform is not. This is even in their policies.

I believe the DMCA is the same, there's nothing stopping you from possessing copyrighted content without a license, just the distribution and manufacture of it.
Have you considered the alternative?

Great. Please send their emails + your email to anthony@fastvenues.com and I can share more information and see if they would use it. P.s. fastvenues is not the meetup/tickets app, it's another project.
And women live longer. You can also readily google that.

So maybe it is a little more complicated than how you present it.
Monolithic apps suffer from design for the least common denominator. Business team chat and calling/texting your friend are entirely different problems and deserve different solutions.
I'd rather Google made this an open standard. Because right now, I'm feeling it starts to sound a little too much like "embrace, extend, extinguish".
You cannot use it with Fi at all
This. A thousand times this.

First I stopped using Google+ (I mean: it isn't any good). Then over time I stopped logging Adium into Google Talk, because fewer and fewer people I know use it. I never started using Allo or Duo.
I don't really understand how to use this to build a real backend. Everything seem to be revolving around reactions (new thing happening in the DB, file uploaded etc) but isn't the more common use case that you actually want to call the function directly?

I'm building a simple React Native/Expo app where I want users to join random chat rooms so I obviously need some logic to delegate this process. Is Firebase/Cloud Functions something I can consider?

My first thought was "oh, maybe I can let my app call the function directly to add the user to a random chat room" but I don't see how that is possible.
I agree. My grandmother used to complain in a similar manner, except it was about TV. See, here in Czech Republic, during communism, things like rents and utilities were cheap, but TVs (especially color ones) were a luxury item. Now anybody can have a TV, but the poor people actually spend most money on rent and utilities (we fortunately don't have such a big health care problem as in the U.S.). But I also recently realized she was wrong, because she had wrong "pattern" of status imprinted in memory.
There is no guilt involved. The whole concept of "privilege" is about factors out of your control, nobody should feel guilty for being white or male or anything else, and I'm sorry if someone gave you that impression.

And as I said in another comment, it's not an on-off switch. "Male privilege" doesn't mean "your life must be great", it means on average you have more and better opportunities that may or may not result in a better life. There are obviously many other factors in and out of your control, so just being male is not enough to guarantee comfort and happiness, but it's still worth recognizing the marginal advantages.
Rather than being upset that the focus is on women, why don't you be grateful that there's so much attention given to the problems people experience due to low confidence and self-esteem, and use the various bits of advice given "for women" to help your own situation too?

Trying to help one group doesn't mean you're trying to hurt another group. Focusing on women doesn't make someone anti-men. That's what groups like "all lives matter" fail to understand, and what you don't seem to get here.
I think it's safe to assume, from the total radio silence on the multiple requests to back up that claim, that the original poster probably knew that going in.
You are mixing politics with cultural/scientific advancements.

What you say is equivalent to saying that Germans and Soviets do not deserve recognition because they were our adversaries.
"When we surveyed our companies and asked them where they met investors, it was rarely at an actual pitch event."

Seems like the author might be learning a lesson based on Village Capital's apparently unsuccessful demo days and applying it to all demo days. As someone who's gone through YC's demo day and who's attended it a few times since, I can tell you that startups meet a lot of great investors there. That some demo days add no value to either startups or investors is not in doubt. That doesn't mean the structure of a demo day makes no sense.

One thing YC recently did to address some of the concerns he has is introduce "Investor Day" immediately after their demo day. Will be interesting to see how that experiment plays out. https://blog.ycombinator.com/investor-day/

All that said, his points about pitch day formats exacerbating existing biases is quite interesting. Would love to see more data on that.

Do State Department Travel Warnings Reflect Real Danger?
This is really neat, and I think it could work well for most basic maintenance work. I'm really curious about the logistics.

How do you handle catastrophic failures during a repair? For example, what happens when a rusty bolt head snaps off and now a component needs to be drilled and tapped? I've worked on my fair share of older cars that have lived their lives on salty New England roads, and this happens more often than you'd think. Does the car get towed to a repair garage in these cases?

I see wheel/tire mounting and balancing listed as a service. How does that work? Are you able to get the balancing machine into the service vehicle, or do you pick them up, leave the car on jack stands, and then bring them back balanced (probably disconcerting for the customer)?
Pah!

Jane Street on Why FP Doesnt Matter
Richer, freer, happier and healthier than the Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Danes? Those are among the most extensive welfare states in the world, proividing:

"[A] national system of free health care and education for everyone, job training, subsidized child care, a generous pension system and fuel subsidies and rent allowances for the elderly." [1]

And on top of that, better healthcare (#11, 14, 23 are Norics, 30 is Canada, 31 is USA [3]), low wealth inequality, low income inequality, low gender inequality and high happiness (#1, 3, 4, 5 are Nordics [2]). By all metrics, those people in the welfare states are happier, freer, richer and healthier than your average American -- some of the most in the world -- and they live longer too (#15, 18, 20, 30 vs. US at 43rd [4]).

Americans in my experience tend to equate socialism with Venezuela not Canada and the Nordics, etc. Sounds like based on empirical evidence the way to improve these metrics is to expand the welfare state not cut it back. There's a reason nobody in Canada is itching to repeal single-payer.

I've seen people who can whip up a nice solution to an interview problem but can't plan out a larger system. Or they have some cool way of solving the interview but then it turns out they want to write 100% of their code as monkey-patches. Or they write great code but cannot get along with anyone. Or they can solve the interview but don't actually have the deeper expertise that they said they did. I'd call all of those false positives from the technical interview.

I guess you could counter that you need to have a 10x longer technical interview that covers all these aspects, but a long interview process is going to filter out all the candidates who are good enough not to have to put up with one.
