>You just provided a subtle clue about your gender.

Wait till they talk to me on the phone. That will be a huge clue.

I've always been fascinated with sailing but have never done it, so I'm going to put that in my interests next time I update my resume.

I will need to remember to remove competitive spitting.
I've spent most of my career (20+ years) working on or with startups. I loved that environment when it came to building my own startups; I loved diving in and working an insane amount of time to prove my ideas out; I loved networking in the evenings with investors and other startups; and I especially loved getting others excited about the product.

The truth is though is that wore me down. I ended up earning myself a chronic illness which severely slowed me down from the startup pace. I also have a family and as my kids grew, so did the time demands. I thought that my partners would understand, given I've put my life into everything I worked on, but that never materialized.

In the end, startup after startup, I've found that there's little room for sickness and especially a family. Sure, when you're young it's ok, but as you get older, or as your family ages, there is this idea of your family just has to understand that you have to do this to make all their dreams come true: founders say that family and health comes first, then try to persuade you that those really come second.

I really do understand where they are coming from. It's all a high pressure game with very little likelihood of succeeding. First to market matters more than not. Notice how many founders are either single or have marriage issues. Survival comes first for them.

I had to ask myself if that's really what I wanted. It turns out, all I really want to do is be good at what I'm working on, support my family, and have coworkers that I can enjoy being around because they value the same things. I found that in larger corporations that weren't about survival anymore. That's what informed my search most of all: the values of the peers I would be working with.
Do you have a source on the "breakable at the nation state level"? Last I heard they've only been able to compromise models before the 6.
I work in IT for TRONC (parent company of LA Times), and can vouch for this. Some of the ad scripts are horrendously bad. Open firebug or chrome dev tools and load the page, watch all those errors pour in. We pay very close attention to our own code, but all those js bugs that are happening are related to external ad networks with terrible javascript.

We have something in the neighborhood of 30+ ad partners. Some of those partners have decent code, others are really terrible. The IT team only adds the code to allow ad networks to inject their advertisements.

Because of the performance issues and the disreputable nature of some of the ad networks we have discussed the possibility of building our own ad server. However this takes time and money, I don't know the ROI of such an endeavor. Ultimately sale's job is to generate revenue so we partner with nearly every single ad network that can generate money. It's not desirable to deal with all these different ad providers, but you don't need me to tell you about the challenges the newspaper industry is dealing with. We need to bring in money on the digital side to make up the downward trajectory of print ads.
How do you "build a network" at companies you have never worked before, and you have no contacts at? You start adding them to your linkedin and then spamming them with messages saying "please be my friend"? I am asking because I heard this recommendation (build a network) all the time, but it is really really difficult to do, more so if you consider the number of companies where one can apply...
I'm talking about Ayurveda. To recap: you claimed that meat-based diets and pharmaceuticals cause more harm (in absolute terms) than Ayurveda, and I countered that the comparison is invalid because Ayurveda is practiced at a scale that's simply incomparable.

Raptitude is a pretty neat blog - I really enjoy his earlier posts. My favorite article is titled "How to walk across a parking lot":

Scroll up. I didn't defend slavery on economic grounds. I argued that if someone did attempt to do so, the response to them is likely to be anti intellectual.

I appreciate you supporting my case.

Sounds like an opportunity to renegotiate your compensation.
lots of the comments here are in the "make a free version of Sid Meier's Civilization" fashion. I'd say you should look at your game and tell us what makes it different and unique aside from being Open Source.

First off, an Open Source game shouldn't look bad. I know it's a work of love and not a AAA game, but aspects of the game art can perfectly be improved, I'm a supporter of the less is more trend, and I love games that can deliver even when they use colors and shadows instead of cheap textures.
I don't understand one thing though - Why doesn't she talk about the fact that according to their own survey, lower class women were also 5 times more likely to get a callback than lower class men.

So while upper class men have it the best, lower class men have it the worst. But the author seems to be ignoring this entirely.
In my opinion, the better way to do that. in the US at least, is to report them to the NLRB. The NLRB does take such complaints seriously and they do follow up on them. That can lead to hefty fines. What is more you don't have to pay for a lawyer so it costs you nothing.

> because in our world all objects seem to exhibit properties of logic

This is the thing that needs to be explained. I get that math is just logic, but why should we expect the natural world to follow logical rules?
Index-based robo-advisors generally invest your money in vanguard, ishares, schwab broad-market etfs, which come with their own fees (industry-lowest). The expense ratio is the accumulation of all those fees. To check the accuracy of the claim, you would need to find the specific instruments each company invests in, at what proportions, and add up their fees.

Cash drag is the penalty you pay for the time and amount of your wealth that is spent in sub-productive, inflationary cash. The article states:

"Schwab allocates up to 30% of a portfolio to cash. In certain circumstances, keeping up to 30% in uninvested cash can result in up to a 0.56% annual return penalty"

This sounds like a worst case scenario. To roughly calculate cash drag, you can take the avg percentage of wealth that will be in cash throughout the year, then multiply by 5% rule of thumb avg returns. For example if you had to keep 10% in cash, that would be 0.1 * 0.05 = 0.5% in lost potential earnings due to cash.
And this is the 'hard bit' about self driving cars. If they are too passive and cautious human drivers will exploit them, if they assume the other cars will follow the rules, they will hit them.No amount of LIDAR magic and deep learning can fix that problem yet.
Maintaining your health and the health of those under your care is your own responsibility. You don't get to blame other people when you get yourself infected.
The point isn't that discrimination being rational makes it ok. The point is that if discrimination is irrational, the best way to fix it is different from the best solution if it were rational. It's an important factor in deciding how to best work towards equality.

If it's irrational, educating employers may be a great option. If it's rational, we probably need to level the playing field somehow (e.g. make it just as ok for dads to stay home as it is for moms or something).
What if my stack of 25 turn up only unqualifoed people who know to submit keyworded documents? Aren't we now un-rejecting people just like the linked article satirizes?

I feel like such an automated approach is roundly criticized by HN on a regular basis.

I guess my point is that when you're dealing with this, there are no popular solutions.

Un-networked job seekers need thick skin.
Exactly what I first thought when I read it. While upper class men have it the best, lower class men seem to have it the worst. This was entirely ignored by the author which is ridiculous. She is trying to hammer the point about bias towards women while entirely ignoring the bias towards lower class men found by her own survey.
On it
In my experience in searching for a job, companies invite for 3 interviews and a coding test, then decide the position isn't clearly defined, so they restart the entire process and ask you to re-apply. Then you go through 3 more interviews and another coding test, and then one more interview, then you never hear from the company again. Since the whole process took 4-months, you are now broke and homeless.

Yep I'm aware, and most of my games don't have native macOS ports. The ones that do would run fine on the Mac's Iris graphics. I would be dual-booting via BootCamp for heavy lifting.

> And TBH, if you want this solution to boost a desktop computer, you're better off just building a Hackintosh. It may make some sense for a laptop, but i think it's still cheaper to build a separate gaming computer.

I already have A Windows 10 gaming desktop, my goal would be to consolidate into macOS for workstation duties and Windows 10 for gaming, and free up space on my desk. I'm not keen on building a Hackintosh or turning my current gaming rig into one; I've been there done that and it's just not worth the hassle. I also would prefer to run macOS on a real Mac just for the support side of things.

I would then be able to give my 16 year old niece the "old" gaming rig (it's a Skylake based system I just built a few months ago) as a massive upgrade from her Core 2 Quad. She's getting into computer animation and 3D modeling and needs something better.
The same story happened in many fields, not just law.

Historically, the marked exploiting cheap resources was so pervasive that we generally needed the government to prevent it. For example, to prevent employers from hiring cheaper negroes over whites, we passed Jim Crow and Davis Bacon laws.

It won't allow you to "target" a specific company, but you could get involved in open source projects and technology meetups, these can help you make connections in a wide spread of companies.
The best way to avoid the "black hole" is to not throw your resume into it in the first place.

Instead, use your professional networks and friends. Reach out to actual human beings. Find any way you can to bypass the bullshit online job application systems and HR departments.

When people (or programs) go through a stack of resumes, it's all about finding reasons to eliminate as many as possible as quickly as possible using the flimsiest of criteria. Of course it's going to create hard feelings but what should one expect when putting oneself into a giant horde of applicants?
I don't use them, but I can tell their strategy is working. My broker (through work) is Fidelity and lately they've been throwing up pop-ups on login, and sending me emails, urging me to try their low-cost funds that they insist are cheaper and better than Vanguard. They're definitely feeling the heat; I don't think companies like this push their low-fee funds on you unless they're up against the wall.
For a different perspective, here's Schwab's response to critics on its decision to keep a mandatory cash component in its robo-advisor offering: https://www.aboutschwab.com/ceo-statement#anchor-copy-ceo-st...

I think their reasoning is sound in theory, but it strikes me as suspect that they would not allow even the option to stay fully invested for clients who would prefer to manage the cash component of their portfolio in a bank account where it can actually be spent at moments notice. And it does also strike me as a bit too convenient that their decision to remove this option from clients just happens to directly benefit Schwab's bottom line.

Their decision to compose more than half of the equity portion of their portfolio using dramatically higher-cost fundamentals ETFs from Schwab in place of using solely market cap ETFs also triggers similar warning bells for me, however sound the technical reasons for doing so might be:
https://intelligent.schwab.com/public/intelligent/insights/w...

That said, I'm curious how Betterment came up with their numbers for their cash drag analysis. If cash drag on the highest end of the spectrum of a portfolio with 30% in cash is supposed to cost investors 0.56%, I'm not sure how they derived the lowest end of a portfolio with 6% in cash to be 0.38%. It seems to me Schwab might not be the only one here guilty of misleading potential clients.

Disclaimer: I am a Schwab client, but am not actively using their Intelligent Portfolios offering. I have done a bit of research into it back when it was announced though.
Not when I was deeply interested in those jobs, and took my time tailoring the applications to them. I don't usually mass-send my CV, I prefer to shortlist jobs and focus on them. See, I would appreciate at least a note about the outcomes. But it's either no contact or it drags on for ages until they somehow realise that the position is no longer available. It's a bit unbelievable, and I'm starting to doubt myself.

These days too I notice that recruiters have become more mechanical and not very interested in finding out more about you as a person. It's like they forgot that they've got two clients, the organisation and the applicant.

Sigh. To be honest I've never had this experience before so it's a bit demoralising. But hey let's keep carrying on.
It's crazy to think I probably exercise way, way more restraint on clicking that kind of junk than most, and even I can recall a time in the past year I just couldn't help myself. They're so psychologically predatory.
A projected AR display would only be useful for creative and business work if it can completely occlude the background. I won't be able to see the spreadsheet clearly if light leaks through it through from the window in front of me. Due to limits imposed by optics, complete background light blockage is always going to require a bulky, awkward head-mounted display. No one has proposed any way to get around this issue even in theory.
Having a child and devoting yourself to a child are completely different choices.

When a man decides to devote himself fully to his family, he is making the decision between neglecting a child and providing for a child.

When a women decides to have a child, she is deciding between her desire to have a family and her team/company's well-being.

FYI, men don't ever make the decision to have a child. Men only make the decision to have sex. Women make the decision to have sex and also have the decision to have a child by bringing the pregnancy to term.

> Microsoft should apply these same restrictions to all UWP apps. Yes, that means banning JIT compilation, as Apple does on iOS.

I really wish they didn't. Banning JIT means banning alternative web browsers (with alternative JavaScript engines,) banning other languages that use a runtime with a JIT, and making it very difficult to write programs that need a JIT for performance, like video game emulators. Banning JIT outright like Apple does makes for a less useful computing platform. What's worse is that if certain operating-system components are allowed to break the rules (like the built-in JavaScript engine,) it locks you in to the vendor's implementation of these components. Imagine if you could only use the CLR and not the JVM on Windows. Mitigating RCEs is important, but it's not that important.

Making it a policy that can be enabled per-app (like Windows 10, according to a sibling comment) is fine though.

> Abusing legal gray areas

What abuses are you talking about? Their assertion that they're not a taxi company holds some water, and their 30k a year exemption in Canada is for independent subcontractors, which Uber argues that its drivers are.

Every company looks at laws and sees just how much money they have to pay. There is no abuse in this case.
The HTTP headers alone to do a couple of requests are more than 4kB.

The text alone of an article can easily be more than 10kB (that's about 1500 words).

3k might have been correct in 1997 for a single standalone HTML page with only text, very little text actually, and very little formatting.

100k is doable for a very minimal site.
Do you have any evidence he is wrong? Most of the evidence I've seen (here are mainstream descriptions of it) suggest he is completely right about that.

What? Of course you do. Sick people should probably stay away from work, especially if they have things like Noro.
Yeah, mathematics seems rather meta. If the universe/multiverse we live in turns out to be a simulation, if every scientific discovery turns out to be incorrect, etc....set theory remains. There is something incredibly powerful and beautiful about that.
In general, I think people really sell themselves short by using an editor "distribution." It's a "teach a man to fish" situation. The whole point of being able to configure Emacs or Vim is so that each person can make it into the tool he or she wants it to be.

That's sort of why I recommend Vim as an IDE[1] to people. It teaches people how to configure Vim for themselves, so they can better understand how the pieces come together.

Soup to Nuts: Using Drupal VM and Ansible to Build Local and Prod
I have nothing against C++, Rust, or Go--I like all of them for different reasons and see them serving different goals, and see room for all sorts of languages. I also agree that there's a discrepancy between how Rust is discussed and how it is used, and don't see C++ going anywhere for a long time.

However, I think that post from Reddit was a bit misleading in its own way. Go has been much more mature from the beginning, given its authors and origins, and in some ways had an easier target, in being a slower but simpler, safer version of C, or a faster version of Python (as far as new users of the language are concerned). It's also in many ways sort of a modern version of C, so very familiar to potential users. Finally, it had its 1.0 release in 2012.

Rust, in contrast, had less of a head start. It is newer in a lot of ways in terms of its characteristics and features, and had a more difficult target, at the lower level and with the performance characteristics of C++. Finally, its 1.0 release wasn't until [less than] 2 years ago, in 2015. Go has been post-1.0 for over twice as long as Rust, which is a significant length of time in IT.
We don't know about the specifics of the accident, but I just want to say that simply not being "at fault" is not the same thing as driving safely. A large number of accidents can be avoided by the non-"at fault" party alone exercising caution – something autonomous vehicles should be far superior at than humans.

Say you're approaching an intersection with a green light while another car is traveling perpendicular at a moderately high rate of speed – perhaps just 5mph faster than their maximum safe stopping speed. You're completely allowed to just keep driving through the intersection, and when they hit you, they will be at fault. However, you could have avoided the collision by recognizing the situation and slowing down – and this is a type of analysis that autonomous vehicles are specially suited for compared to human drivers.

Proofs were not always of the same rigor - what was once considered a proof may not be so by modern standards.

Now what this book shows is that 2100 years ago some level of proof was also a requirement in Chinese mathematics; this makes classical Greek/western thought look not quite as unique as it is portrayed.

The problem is doing it at the scale required.

The East Siberian Arctic Shelf alone has an estimated amount of 50 to 800 gigatons of CH4. Current atmospheric concentration of CH4 is about 5.

I think our best interest is to stop or slow down the process and try to find out a solution. And that is achieved by keeping the permafrost frozen.

One solution could be using metanotrophs, which are unicellular organisms that eat methane. The advantage over reacting chemicals is that they reproduce on their own. Maybe we enhance them through GMO to make them have a higher fertility rate.
didn't notice them controlling for the overwhelming gender skew in HR and recruiting. The callback and phone screens imply that upper middle class women in law firm HR depts are filtering out peers in favor of upper middle class men.

First, almost nobody actually plays polo anymore, and they wouldn't lead with it if they did. The researchers may have spent more time reading f. scott fitzgerald than thinking this though, and the HR staff would take a flyer on it because mr. darcy.

I have been asked to put personal interests on my CV by recruiters so that their clients would have something to remember my profile by. What that means is "show your natural interest in team sports."

Track and field isn't something you talk to people about or want to hear a story about. Those CVs were likely filtered because they actually seemed too boring for a business that is based on dynamic teamwork and building relationships.

Based on the article, what is clear is that the researchers have no experience with either sports or class.

Sweden tried that. They gave out 330 days of maternity + paternity leave. Women used 94% of it. So they had to make some of it "use it or lose it" for men only. Men started taking the bare minimum, so Sweden is planning to increase the "use it or lose it" portion.
