They don't tell builders "give me a house, I want turrets and a fence and 23 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and I want it done to a really high finish by next week".

Instead they get a detailed, industry standard, multi-stage plan that has everything they need to start, as well as access to an architect that can check on their work and when things go wrong a process for change management is included. And no-one expects a house to be built well over a weekend.
1) I didn't speak of any market rates. I spoke of the fraction of his take home pay in comparision to the value of his work. That fraction is exploitative.

2) Indian workers are likely also underpaid. I find that comparison irrelevant.
"La transcendence de l'ego", by Jean-Paul Sartre[1] - I read it when I was 14, by sheer accident, and it provided all the backing for intuitively understanding Sapir-Worf and finally for being able to navigate in a multitude of cultural environments without getting looked upon/shot at or being killed (depending on where the world I am ;)

IMHO as a part-time Uber driver, Uber could fix a lot of their current problems by putting tipping into the app. The self-driving car is not here yet, and Uber does not do enough for its drivers. If they would just add tipping I think that better drivers in better cars would start driving again. Without the tips, it's just not worth it.
I suspect that most CEOs would like that level of control, but they shouldn't get it.
At least people know who to sue when Windows destroys data, not sure who to sue when distribution X does it.
I think women perceive technical work as a low status. Many men do too. It just that may be men get more intrinsic value from it.
"An error occurred installing iOS 10.3"
In the context of Next.js's serverside-rendering approach, Polymer has an open ticket about providing support for SSR: https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/issues/3955.
On a Mac Mini (Late 2014), it works just fine on an LG 25UM58-P monitor. Looks and works the same as Night Shift does on iOS.
I wanna know that too. Never heard of anyone using it in production.
Yes, because it's now a lot harder to compete with so much noise and more advanced social media. We're actually out trying to solve this problem for bloggers.

Here's a snippet from our "Manifesto" that we wrote a few months ago and use for our "Blog Enhancement Suite" (http://blogenhancement.com if you are curious). It's a freemium SaaS that we actually just launched last week.

Your blog deserves more. Modern social media has forever changed the way content is consumed as readers gravitate towards services that create engaging and interactive posts which offer more than the old fashioned “read, comment, repeat” experience. Today your readers expect more, and rightfully so.

Several years ago we found ourselves working with regular everyday bloggers to help them tackle many important challenges that typically go vastly underestimated, including the seemingly impossible tasks of generating content, building audience and increasing revenue. The big revelation came upon our realization that adding a community aspect not only made a standard blog remarkably more lively and engaging, it also gained several other key advantages in the currently outdated blogging landscape.

We've since developed a deep understanding of online communities; how they come together, how they interact with each other, and most importantly, how invaluable they are to any blog. We are putting this knowledge into action on a wider scale by building something that can help bloggers help themselves, in a way previously only reserved for the few established blogs with big budgets.

We are Snapzu — a small scrappy team made up of developers, designers, engineers, and you guessed it, bloggers, working towards one clear and unified vision — to expand on and improve the blogging experience. We've already created the most robust social sharing and discussion platform, and with our upcoming Blog Enhancement Suite, we strive to make this incredible software available to anyone, anywhere. The time to level the playing field could not come soon enough.
I don't think a lack of drivers is really a problem for Uber, at least not in major cities. Plenty of people are willing to drive for Uber currently, despite the bad publicity.
1. It is faster than an SSD - at low queue depths, or if you are writing a lot - in its Optane NVMe form factor.

2. In the NVMe form factor, it supports older CPUs.

3. In the DIMM form factor, it will be far, far faster than NVMe, but intel isn't saying when those are coming.
I think that the point of building a Lisp is the process of building Lisp, not to produce a better Lisp (or even one that is just as good).
The difference of opinion in this small sample is good. As long as a show has some people who love it, that's a good thing. Content made for the widest audience possible is usually bland and predictable... just look at pop music in the last few decades. Network TV is just as bad because if a show isn't a hit in 2 or 3 episodes they pull it. If they'd done that in era of "classic TV" (60s - 80s), half the most famous ever wouldn't have made it.
A lot of fake news is propagated on April 1st each year, particularly in the tech industry, so there is justifiable reason to view April 1st announcements with a bit of skepticism.
"Re. regulatory capture, I don't know if the FDA or regulatory capture thereof is that huge an issue. The chief advantage other countries have is the ability to say, "No." Medicare doesn't have that ability..."

Clearly, the influence of private interests is critical for the situation where those interests can set their terms and prices without fetters. Objecting that this isn't regulatory capture but something else seems like a quibble.

Broadly, piecemeal reform is something like black list security. The supposed free market is left to set health care prices and process for a public that is clearly unequipped to bargain like an "informed consumer" (no matter how blithe pamphlet announce this need). Once one particular method of exploitation get a lot of press, regulation or legislation goes after this method, leaving the industry to work out it's next "zero day" against the health care consumer.
It's part of the main program, not an extra or add-on. (Just as a flavoring can be cooked as part of a dish rather than be added as an extra topping.)

People hear what they want to hear. As a boss, you can choose to say what you want and see what happens. It might be wiser to choose words carefully, so your subordinates don't get the wrong message.
I think it's important to remember that Uber users aren't loyal: if a ride isn't immediately available through Uber, they use Lyft; if Lyft isn't available, they go to the next app.

While I agree that the service is here to stay, the individual players are likely to shift.

Some of us have technical details, and put them out during the press event. The fact that Intel is staying high level is annoying, I admit, but they want "the community" to speak up, when you start using these drives.

I have tested on these devices, as a datastore for databases, and it has benefits. If you're writing a lot, and/or are very latency sensitive.
> Hijack your searches and share them with third parties

What does it mean to "hijack" a search? If the ISP is modifying your data in flight then that'd qualify though I don't think this bill gives them that power.

Also, most (all?) searches go over SSL which would not be susceptible to MITM fiddling.

At most it gives them access to log the number of bytes sent per customer to each destination and the DNS lookups you've performed. I'd be concerned if they are selling that information but there's no need to make up fake lingo to sell this. It's crap enough as it stands.
When you remove the device from the beta program, you have to re-install from scratch by restoring from a non-beta version.

If you had stayed on the beta program, you would now be upgraded to 10.3 automatically.

Tricking children?

You let your toddler or child on the internet with no supervision and then they find something you do not like.

What kind of victomhood article is this?
There are very good reasons for which we aren't typing these comments on analog computers, and we don't have analog computers in our pockets, and all the data we store, including everything that we experience as analog (music, images, video) are actually stored in digital format.

And before that, the way we write language, numbers, and music is digital, not analog- despite the fact that we seem to think more in an analog way than a digital one. Come to think of it, even our language is digital, despite the fact that our experiences are not and we often struggle to find the combination of words that will better reproduce the meaning we have in our minds.

Come on, this is HN, how can you not see the advantage of calculating with numbers, and writing down numbers, in place of approximate quantities? And why we converted an entire century's worth of audio and photographic recordings to a digital format?
I see "we don't rock the boat" as completely synonymous with "I am resistant to change".

(Note that I suspect you think that I or the original poster are suggesting that he's resistant to all change, not just change within curl. I don't believe he's resistant to all change, but I do believe he's resistant to change within curl, which is what we're talking about here.)

It's not up to the managers alone to retain technical women, it's up to everyone.

I've worked in this industry since the 1990's, which is enough time to see quite a bit, and I've definitely seen behavior hostile to women during this time, and also ham-fisted attempts to fix the problem which also breed resentment towards women, causing even more of the behavior.

This whole "situation" simply boggles my mind. What could possess a guy to send a dick-pic to a coworker, or a manager to demand sex in exchange for promotion? These people are clearly messed up human beings, and need to be fired. Most of the time they are, and it takes an exceptional bro-culture for them not to be fired. However, these obnoxious pigs aren't really the core of the problem, they're just the ones we think of first.

What I've seen over time is that most people have a double standard when comparing technical men and women. These are good people who respect their co-workers, and would never do something like mentioned above, but they still make it harder for women through either unconscious biases, different expectations, or different treatment.

For example, I worked at one pre-eminent bay area company where there I saw a lot of policies meant to help female engineers and managers succeed. They were very strict on any sort of harassment policies, and usually took action against inappropriate behavior. Yet, my female co-workers were frustrated. There was a double standard in engineering. Say you go to a design review meeting for a big feature. If a man was presenting, he had the benefit of the doubt of his colleagues, presented his idea, got critiqued it, job done. A woman giving the same sort of presentation doesn't get that benefit of the doubt as frequently, and her ideas are scrutinized more, sometimes in a condescending way. I've seen this play out myself, it's disgusting! It's also not just men, women are harsher towards technical women as well.

Women who noticed such problems and tried to point them out were either treated either as whiners, or management heard and over-reacted in a way which made the men feel threatened, which made the problem worse.

I really don't know what the fix is here, but I can't see how managers can fix a cultural problem. The culture of tech needs to change to be fair to women. Perhaps this comes from having too high a concentration of one gender, since male elementary school teachers share the plight of technical women, but that's just my speculation based on people that I know.

What I am happy to see is that the ratio of women to men in technical degree programs is much greater than when I was in college in the early 90's. I do college recruiting events for computer science grads, and if I was to wager a guess, the ratio is about 1/3, and approaching half at some schools. When women are more present in the tech workforce, and their peers have always experienced working with women, perhaps then things will change.
"The Body Electric" by Dr. Robert O. Becker. An amazing journey into the electromagnetic workings and sensitivity of biology to electromagnetic fields. Details early but little known discoveries like de-differentiation of cells (return to stem cell) by weak electric fields and also commonly known mechanisms like accelerated bone-healing by electrical stimulation. Ends with a warning against uncontrolled proliferation and use of EMF/EMR in society. But who listens to that kind of stuff anyway?
> It stills feels wrong on a gut level, and semver folks might not be happy with it, but it seems to make some real sense.

If you maintain the public API, it's perfectly valid to radically change the implementation details in a point release.

If you're not going to respect the encapsulation of that kind of working knowledge behind an API, then you might as well just demand the very release of everything should be a Major version release.
I once got a Swazi Lilangeni coin [1] in change from a machine at Paddington station. Could it have been one of those? As an entirely above board numismatic dealer selling them in bulk [2] says:

"they are lovely looking coins, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the British One Pound coin [...] All of the One Lilangeni coin attributes are exactly the same as the British One Pound coin."

Possibly. Could we all help a guy by 'report abuse' the hell out of the account so it gets deactivated? That would be wrong - what if he isn't the actual owner? So you see the problem. Maybe fb need to make it easier for him to identify himself? But by means other than actually identifying himself? Well that is hard. He should tell his friends he is no longer in control. That would at least be a start.
I must be broken, because everybody seems to think these are the best parts of the book, and I couldn't stand them. I just wanted to get on with it!

I agree there's a lot they could improve, but honestly they're miles ahead of so many others it's ridiculous. I'm in the UK and:

- BBC iPlayer is outstanding

- ITV player is terrible, I have to disable my ad blocker and then watch the opening ads a few times before it loads. Also needs silverlight..

- Amazon iirc will only play HD in some browsers, I can't remember if it needs any plugin. Also they have ads.. In a prime only thing.

- Sky Player (they have HBO :/) is terrible to navigate, silverlight, even more ads than ITV, low quality, awful.

Netflix isn't perfect but honestly their competitors are mostly atrocious.
Could be that it isn't a signature that is intentionally generated. It could just be based on how the light scatters, which is likely to be unique per coin. Like a fingerprint.

>If I were somehow in charge of it, I imagine I'd want to do it like: 1) ship it as officially supported on the Mac, but off by default. 2) a year or two later, ship it as officially supported on the Mac, on by default, but still allow HFS+ as an option. 3) A year or two after that, if all has gone well, then introduce it into iOS (where presumably it's not reasonable to make it optional

The plan doesn't make much sense. For one, the Mac has way more edge cases than iOS (in that people do more, and in more low- and -high level ways) with the filesystem, including running all kinds of unix userlands, exchanging files with other filesystems, etc. In iOS all fs APIs and access are tightly controlled, and there's no mounting of disks, no touching outside the sandbox, no disk management apps, etc.

So iOS is a much better target for first launch than OS X.

Second, with this plan it would take 3-5 years to ever arrive. Why so late? Apple has been developing it for a while, and probably have thousands of tests it has to pass. And they have been running it on 1 million or more devs on the 10.3 beta program on actual devices for feedback for 2 months.

The gap between the house I want and what I will find is not based on fine materials and craftsmanship - but a simple, non-standard layout that is specific to my lifestyle.
Thanks for your comments, I understand what you are saying about the font - I am experimenting with Tufte-style layouts and that is the font they recommend. I've noticed that it looks much better on MacOSX than on Windows based browsers.

I also know what you are talking about with the related articles. I have not yet implemented such a feature in the software that builds the pages but it is on the to-do list. However, on my old blog I did have such a feature and it was rarely used.

Part of the ethos of my site is to make the article text king and minimize everything else. That is why the header is so small and I haven't prioritized a bunch of internal links on each page. I have no ads and have nothing to sell so there is no monetary incentive to capture readers.

I have noticed that the header is stupidly small on mobile - I'll get around to reworking this one day.

I do get a kick out of knowing people read my stuff, but I am usually irritated by the stupid tricks other sites use to squeeze one more page-view out of you so I refuse to follow the same dark path.
I'd for sure consider dropping Beamer if this happened.
The EFF explains how this was done here:

Back in 2011, several ISPs were caught red-handed working with a company called Paxfire to hijack their customers’ search queries to Bing, Yahoo!, and Google. Here’s how it worked.

When you entered a search term in your browser’s search box or URL bar, your ISP directed that query to Paxfire instead of to an actual search engine. Paxfire then checked what you were searching for to see if it matched a list of companies that had paid them for more traffic. If your query matched one of these brands (e.g. you had typed in “apple”, “dell”, or “wsj”, to name a few) then Paxfire would send you directly to that company’s website instead of sending you to a search engine and showing you all the search results (which is what you’d normally expect). The company would then presumably give Paxfire some money, and Paxfire would presumably give your ISP some money.

In other words, ISPs were hijacking their customers’ search queries and redirecting them to a place customers hadn’t asked for, all while pocketing a little cash on the side. Oh, and the ISPs in question hadn’t bothered to tell their customers they’d be sending their search traffic to a third party that might record some of it.

Right. Part D is what people are talking about when they talk about Medicare not being able to negotiate prices.

edit: That's one of the advantages of the privatized system, companies take the heat for having a formulary.
I think a lot of people have always had a negative view of Travis Kalanick and Uber's business practices, but they enjoyed the convenience of the service just enough to look the other way. Between the soaring valuation and recent events, that balance has shifted to the point where some people now refuse to use the service. At the same time, there is a lot of schadenfreude by people who disagree either with the valuation, or Travis Kalanick and the company's ethos. The media is just tapping into this interest with their coverage, as is their nature to do. So if anything, I'd say it's more like karmic retribution than a coordinated smear campaign.
The hammer FS might be its main improvement. I think it's, right now, an exercise in maintaining options.
It's not a smear campaign; it's a feeding frenzy. When public perception shifts one way or another, the stories follow to cover it in that angle (though you'd expect at some point there'd be some contrarian hot takes that take an apologist stance towards Uber, maybe something like "Don't blame Uber. Blame the tech industry/gig economy/etc."). There's something rotten at the company, so journalists will naturally shift to cover it and dig up every juice piece of mud they can rake.

Same thing happened to RIM a few years back. None of this is personal. It's just a domino effect.
Quite a few hospitals have women in executive roles, some who are trained nurses, and basically "call the shots" in that role.

At San Francisco General Hospital, At least 50% of the Administrator(s)-On-Duty are women. It's a mixture of MDs, and nurses. In fact, I've only personally met one AOD who is male (nurse). The AOD calls the shots on a daily basis.

BTW one recent CEO, Susan Currin is a nurse & the current CEO Susan Ehrlich, MD are both women.

IMO It's not a validation issue. Companies (Tech or otherwise) have the culture they reinforce, dysfunctional or not.
I've heard the same, or founders that (barely) raise their target seed amounts, but then traction appears and suddenly everyone wants to invest in a follow-on seed. Again, sign of a healthy market. It's not 2013/2014, when it seemed like anyone could raise on pedigree or potential, but capital is available for startups who hit their metrics.
We really should just start numbering them: R0, R1, R2, ..., Rn. It's getting ridiculous.
