I don't actually remember. It was two friends in particular that encouraged everyone to set it up.

It was an app intended for parents to track their children. I don't like that on principle, which is part of the reason I removed it as soon as the festival ended.
A friend graduated from a bootcamp and she loves coding. But sometimes there are conversations that goes deep into SSDs vs HDDs, bitcoin mining, and other topics unrelated to work that alienated her and she couldn't participate.

I was trying to share what I learned from speaking with a few of my friends. Put yourself in the shoes of a woman who wanted a career change and joined a bootcamp. You learned the necessary skill and took an engineering job on a predominantly male team. Already, you are self conscious about not having a 4 year CS degree. Now they consistently talk about cryptography, hardware, that doesn't seem to relate to your work. As if gender wasn't an issue already, now there is also a technical exclusion.

I am also open to suggestions. Is this an okay scenario?
The Distributor's Dilemma
Excellent question! Here is my imperfect idea that is much easier said than done. FWIW, I do work as a software engineer at a very technical firm that I think does a stellar job getting this right.

The biggest thing is the pay gap. Fixing the pay gap does make employees more equal as an employer trades money for an employees time. We have a long way to go to fix the current pay gap in tech at least.

Also I have heard of managers who don't promote women as tech / team leads for fear they'll get pregnant and be on leave for 2-6 months taking care of their child. I literally told a guy at my last job that was not cool when he said that. Even though it might shake things up in the business if a valued employee is off work for a few months that is not the employees fault. Punishing them for what "might or might not happen" in the future is discrimination plain and simple. Discrimination of any form results in a hostile work environment and ultimately a less effective team.

Another common one is someone making unwanted advances or propositions. The only correct response on this from management is swift and firm rejection up to and including firing the unwanted initiator. Look at the recent mess with that female Uber engineer who was harassed so badly she finally gave up and left. She did the absolutely right thing and told the person not cool and then spoke with HR. Because the initiator was a "valued employee" they let it slide, further alienating the now victimized engineer.

I'm a dude in tech who knows what it is like to be treated poorly. We must be the voice for those without one (my wife calls me more of a feminist than she says she is amusingly). To do anything less is to be complicit in this injustice. See the "first they came for..." poem about the Nazis.
A few days late but I'm way farther north than Troy -- St. Lawrence county. I can check out the podcast, though.
You can definitely take it to an extreme. If you only read one word at a time, why show multiple words on the display? Why not a single character!

But that's not the point. There's an optimal level of visual busy-ness. Doubling your screen real-estate looks cool, but is it actually better? For me it is not.

I had a friend at work who had a four-monitor setup, and then somebody quit and he got ANOTHER thunderbolt monitor. Once he had all 5 set up, he got so agitated by the quantity of data coming in that he couldn't get anything done. I would bet that everybody has that threshold. So how much stress was he feeling with 4 monitors? Probably some... maybe not more than his baseline daily work-stress, but did he need to take on that extra stress?
seems like it might be useful as a transaction log?
- Mastery by Robert Greene & The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle

I had to name both, because it was the combination of the two that influenced me. Essentially reading both of these moved me from the fixed mindset to the growth mindset (to borrow Carol Dweck's terms).

Mastery provides the historical examples (including incidentally, our hero, Paul Graham), and The Talent Code provides the science behind it, what deep practice does to the brain.

These books aren't the only to deal with the growth mindset (others...Carol Dweck's Mindset, Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule, Anders Ericsson's Peak), but where I first encountered the idea. In changing the way I learn, and my motivation for learning, they changed my life.
Theory: the size of seed rounds is determined by the magnitude of sales that can be generated without an investment.

So if a new technology is introduced to make small teams or single founders very productive, then the size of seed rounds will go up.

(Assuming that the team needs money at some point for something.)
Few things that comes to my mind

- Have clarity around what time people are expected to arrive/leave. If your company offers free food, dont schedule breakfast super early and dinner super late.

- Dont schedule meetings at 5:00 pm

- Dont change product direction/design based on meetings you had at an after work party

Basically acknowledge that people in general and women in particular have responsibilities outside work. Strive to have work life balance for everyone in your team and not just fresh out of college kids who can afford to sit at house till 9 pm.
Based on your statement, if the company gets more money by doing all sorts of terrible things to its contractors and employees then that's the right thing to do? There's going to be a ton of local minima in decisions and gray areas in things that you can't accurately value if you reduce it all to money. I think you haven't quite thought through this one completely.
I think that on this subject, I am most at odds with my Silicon Valley friends. Most people I talk to seem to want to live forever if possible.

I think this would be a disaster. We would create a race of ultra wealthy Methuselahs who dominate the world and prevent the very "creative distruction" that Valley types claim to worship.

Talking about this subject is very like talking about vegetarianism. Many people would admit the basic premises under the practice, yet find some reason to ignore those premises and just keep doing what they're doing.

Are we doomed to destroy the world in our selfishness? Or is there a hidden upside to everyone (or worse, a select few) living forever on a finite planet?
Ben studebaker called the rise of Trump in his article which had a really broad overview of what neoliberalism is, and he basically postulated that it's on the way out and we can EITHER have Nationalism (Trump) or Egalitarianism (Bernie Sanders)... sadly for America, he was ABSOLUTELY right, but nationalism won out... But that might not hold true, as we can easily flip flop back and forth till one side shows true progress at fixing the shit wrong with America.

That was written last February back when people actually thought it insane that Hillary Clinton could lose to Donald Trump -- doesn't sound so crazy now though.

The Wire, Mad Men
I was under the impression that Theo had put a hard "fuck no" on ever porting OpenBSD to the Pi until Broadcom fully opens up the hardware (full documentation and blob-free booting). While Broadcom has been releasing documentation, there are no official plans that I'm aware of for ever booting the Pi without the firmware blob.

Don't get me wrong, I will gladly welcome OpenBSD on the Pi if it ever happens; one of my favorite OSes on one of my favorite platforms. But I'm not holding my breath.

As for other SoCs/boards; there simply is no other board with the combination of support, community, power, cost efficiency, and versatility that the Pi enjoys. Pretty much any other SBC is lacking in one or more areas critical to making such an endeavor worthwhile. The only thing that comes close is the Nvidia Jetson TX2, and it's cost prohibitive for this kind of project when you can get a mainstream AMD64 ultrabook for half the price of that board alone.

I, personally, closed my account in January. I became wary of my personal outrage echo chamber. Every time I logged in my feed was just things or links to things pissed about or people's opinions on what they were pissed about. I felt like the good of feeling connected to folks that were, in reality, now strangers was being far outweighed by the pervasive negativity I was being subjected to.

I don't know how universal my experience is, but I walked away from FB feeling like I was part of a massive experiment gone wrong.
>Please stop, you are wrong. Im attractive and people hate me.

These two sentences are all the evidence required to conclude that your issue is not your looks. They reek of a superiority complex, victim mentality, and a complete lack of understanding and respect for other people and their life experiences. Very unattractive. No wonder people want to tear you down.

You can keep blaming your looks and other people for your failings, or you can do some serious reflection and tackle the very uncomfortable truths you've been avoiding about how you show up, interact, and perceive yourself and others.

Amazon's technique of mixing prime, and pay content is clearly a dark pattern. The way they display each season as it's own item is just annoying.

On the other hand I actually like Hulu's interface better than Netflix.

Really I wish they would agree on a standard streaming API, to enable 3rd parties to create UIs. Right now I find myself opening up multiple apps searching Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Crackle to find something specific.

I think it's more than that. It's a way of filtering people who can't handle the frustration of repeated failure and failing in spite of doing everything right. For elite soldiers like the SEALs, I can see how this would be valuable. There is a high risk of failure on their missions, as well as a high risk of capture, since they often operate behind enemy lines. The ability to handle persistent hardship without giving up could mean the difference between life and death.
Yes, but how else would you build empathy and diversity amongst your team? Say you hired a minority who has different interest with the majority on the team. If left unchecked, the minority will always feel excluded (unless they have a strong personality).

My issue with your post is this: obviously those things are very serious problems. But they are only the most egregious ones. I feel like any company not run by dolts can manage not to allow punishing women with the rationale that they might get pregnant and to stop blatant sexual harassment -- after all, these things are completely illegal. But even if we solve them there are still lots of more subtle ways that companies can be made less welcoming places for women than for men and addressing those probably requires much more conscious consideration.

I wouldn't scope this down to tech. Incompetence and professional disinterest is by far the norm across all industries.

Career meritocracy is, more or less, a myth. In technical fields, there is a merit baseline that has to be cleared, but after that, any further relationship between merit and position evaporates. That is inescapable. People sometimes think they've escaped it and found the promised land of meritocracy, but they haven't. That usually just means they have a politically-skilled manager who is good at keeping their belief in the fairy tale alive.

I agree that a good engineer is not necessarily a good engineering manager, but I don't believe there are good engineering managers who are not also good engineers.

Thank you, I've seen the clock one on the website, however the thing that doesn't exactly click with me is how would you, for example handle multiple users with server-side rendering, where each user only has access to their own state data?

I'm pretty clear on how to use client-side react with redux, it's just the server side part that would include stuff like user authentication seems confusing to me so far, since I haven't seen a clear implementation of that yet.

Thanks!
It is interesting how much editorializing can be done with a single word or phrase.

Consider:

EM invested ... because he was interested in AI.

Or:

But that phrase "keep tabs", which means almost the same thing, suddenly gives it this nefarious twist.
I quit facebook like an year ago. Couldnt be much happier. Initially, I started using facebook as my one stop website for everything. Check on my friends and same time I will read and go through news. Later, I was really upset about targeted ads. I'm cant say its dying, all my friends still use it day to day. But I feel is the trend is changing. instead of daily "status updates" people are sharing more content.

"Why Everyone Should Adopt My Personal Preference"
Another article: http://qa.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/apr/09/g...

it seems the pay gap is more an age thing. When we say give women equal pay, we should be saying "give older women equal pay" . This makes me think its a lagging metric that will be solved as todays 20 somethings become 40 and 60 year olds. If we want to accelerate the solution its not to give young womena a raise, but older women.

Its also hard because depending on how the numbers are calculated it maybe fair to pay older women less once you account for a lifetime of choosing lifestyle over earning potential as many note women vs men typically do.
I'm a bit envious; I wish I could read it for the first time again. For me, it was one of only a handful of books that made me wonder: how did a mere human mind come up with this?! The build up and self-references are just magical.

"How I Beg The Question That Mac Spaces Aren't The Same As Physical Monitors"
Sapir-Whorf is really a family of hypotheses, not a singular one. The differences being degree of influence from language on thought, and amount of feedback based on culture/experience. If my language lacks the concept for an ocean or sea, but I live next to one, clearly we'll find a way to express "seaward" and other related concepts, though the language may require more complex circumlocutions or inventing/borrowing words. But returning that concept and word to my inland relatives may be nigh impossible, because their experience (not just language) doesn't allow them to consider such a thing as even real. They may accept the word, but not the reality of it until witnessing it.

And, yes, if a concept is hard to express in a language that it, potentially, limits your thinking. If all thought is just language, then it may even bar thinking of concepts. But that gets into another debate, is language the key to thought, or is language an expression of thought. We can all probably conceive of things or maybe even have witnessed things which we are unable to articulate in many or all existing languages, but language expands or we adopt new languages (such as mathematics and calculus in particular to express physics). The precise motion of the planets could be explained in plain English, through complex circumlocutions. But calculus and its derived languages allow us to express this concept far more easily (even if just the English translation of the formulae and expressions, and not the precise notations used by physicists and mathematicians).
Riemannian geometry is a geometry on differentiable structures (manifolds) equipped with a "metric tensor" that generalizes the idea of a length to curved shapes.

Symplectic geometry is, similarly, a geometry on differentiable manifolds equipped with a "symplectic form" that generalizes the oriented area spanned by two vectors known in flat structures as the determinant.

Now here's the fun part: Riemannian geometry may exist in 1, 2, 3... dimensions; but symplectic geometry exists in even dimensions only. For example: if you tried to think of a 3D sphere of radius 1, you couldn't pass a 4D sphere through its largest section (a bit like if you couldn't pass a 3D sphere through a circle-shaped hole of same radius.

I forget what was my point initially.
You don't need to see an agenda behind every invitation to recognize the agenda behind this one.

For those genuinely unclear, it's a combination of things - the individual nature of the invitation, the private nature of the venue, the timing and explicit involvement of libations whose effects often include the lowering of inhibitions - all in all it's just a super sketchy thing to all of a sudden pop up in a previously professional relationship. Any one of those would be fine; any two would be a little questionable but probably okay; all three at once constitute a great big flashing neon sign that spells out "YOUR BOSS IS TRYING TO LAY YOU".
Putting "It is no secret" before a claim doesn't validate it, please provide some support/context for "[female devs] are far more socially attuned than men are".

Also, a phrase like "doctor's orders" is common, because most members of the public will have occasion to see a doctor, the profession having existing for a long time. There's no saying "CTO's orders", yet this is obviously a position of power.

Also, your observances wrt men and social ranking could easily be confounded if you don't have a complete knowledge of the filters on the men & women you see in IT.
