Yes, the article should be named "Airbnb guests fail to clean up after themselves, owner outraged". But then I guess it'd be hard to sell it as something worth an article on BBC.

All the rest - the fact that people had sex in the apartment (not exactly out of the normal unless one rents exclusively to monastic orders) or that money may have been exchanged (totally not owner's business) - sounds completely irrelevant and an attempt to foment moral panic.
They responded and denied it; frankly it's plausible that they're correct (but also that they're not). It's not yet fair to assume one party is correct over the other while both try to drive the media presentation. Let it play out.

Google already responded, they essentially claim there is no gap, that there was one in the past but that they worked very hard to close that gap. They also question the governments methods to arrive at their conclusions.

Without data to back up either position debate is pretty much meaningless.
> Remember the official fed policy was not to bailout banks coming into the crisis. They let the first behemoth fail, but quickly realized the disaster that awaited the global economy if they let the next one fail.

That's your interpretation. Mine is that Henry Paulson happened.
Can someone who actually has access to the story answer the following questions for me. Is this before or after controlling for:

- field of work. Is this the whole company or just devs?

- years at the company.

- age, as a crude proxy for total experience at all companies.

Also does it say the magnitude of the gap?

There's a number of ways this headline could be true, all may be unfortunate from a societal perspective, but it only shows bias on Google's part if this is after controlling for the things companies say they base their pay on.
The point of this article should be the technical parts of memory corruption. Jailbreaks often exploit multiple bugs that could have the same title. The last wide Jailbreak for 9.3.3 I did entirely in the browser. It was nice of them to ask before exploiting my system :)

For php laravel projects are using this service:

- https://github.com/cronboy/cronboy

- https://cronboy.com/

It doesn't fit needs of @pmchorus company, but is useful for simpler cases when you need something more efficient than cron and more accurate than queue delayed jobs. (Example: we use it for sending triggered email deliveries, where batch processing of letters using cron is not possible, because of amount of letters and cron schedule limit)

The idea is that you schedule job on specified time and cronboy invokes it via http and execute it on your server.

Features:

- Seconds accuracy of execution

- Statistics on invoked jobs

- Secure execution of your code

- Retrying if job failed

- Laravel friendly facade api

Well, that's not great news for me, if true. On the other hand, men in my family, on both sides, pretty much exclusively die of heart disease, so I figured that was how I was going to go eventually.
I assume from your writing that English is not your native language. It would help if you mentioned where you are living and working as opportunities vary greatly around the world. If you are living in an English speaking part of the world, then you might want to improve your language skills. Good communication is critical in almost all ventures.

Are you a qualified architect? If so, are you no longer enjoying your profession? You seem to imply that you are having trouble finding work as an architect, why is that?

3D visualisations, especially in architecture, is a much in demand skill. Of course, your tooling needs to integrate with AutoCAD, RevIT, etc. Recently I tested VR headset for walkthroughs - very impressive when done well.

On a technical note, JavaScript is not a particularly good first programming language to learn. It is difficult to debug stuff and you can easily develop some bad habits. Have you looked at Python? There are a lot of good tutorials and examples out there.

So what exactly are your ideas for a startup? You seem to be rather vague on that part of your question.

Sorry about so many questions, but it is hard to offer help when you are not specific with your questions.
Kay Redfield Jamison on Robert Lowell's Poetry, Privacy, and Psychotherapy
Let's dispense with the "amateurs" first: the complete stack is build almost exclusively by people employed by Google, Facebook, Apple, Mozilla, and a handful of smaller, but at least as professional, companies.

You might like to take a look at the history of Babel (formerly 6to5) as one prominent counter-example. For several years, much of the web development community has been relying on a great tool that was originally written by one talented young amateur.

Open Source software has simply won in the marketplace, mostly because of it's openness, rarely because of it's price.

Chrome being prominently advertised every time anyone visited a Google site using another browser probably didn't hurt. Being installed by default on the most popular mobile OS also didn't hurt. If openness were all it took, Firefox would surely still be a more prominent player.

It doesn't necessarily do that, but in the case of Google specifically, it does: they need the open web as a platform to compete against the "walled gardens" of Apple and Facebook.

Google wants people to use the Web because it makes its money primarily from advertising on web sites. It is in Google's direct financial interest to support the part of the Web ecosystem that in turn supports advertising. That typically doesn't include, for example, corporate intranets, or embedded UIs in network-connected devices, or academic sites, which are three big areas where web technologies are widely used but stability and long-lasting content are more highly valued.

Their interests happen to be aligned with those of web developers, which is why Chrome has revitalised browser competition

Writing as a professional web developer who often works in those other areas I mentioned, Chrome hasn't revitalised browser competition. On the contrary, it's become the new IE from the old browser wars. A lot of the new functionality only works properly in Chrome, and often it's not reliable even there because of the frequent updates that change behaviour and/or introduce regressions. There's no real concern about proper standardisation or compatibility or longevity any more.

But, more importantly, I'm unsure what you want?

I want the fundamental tools on which much of the ecosystem now relies not to break everything that predates a standard that is less than two years old and still not fully supported across many active browsers. In this case, that means being able to install packages from NPM with a reasonable expectation that they will not require a substantial extra build process to be used.

Obviously no-one contributing NPM packages has any obligation to respect that. It's not as if we're all paying for their openly licensed work. I just think the community as a whole will otherwise suffer yet more overheads getting infrastructure set up instead of actually getting useful work done.
Eg., AIG. The "magic" is that insurers can also be crooked, have CEOs with perverse incentives and effective immunity from prosecution, and be favored with bailouts.
I 100% advocate people writing bots like this. I don't support vigilante justice in the real world because police are more effective and vigilantes get in the way and cause unrest, but there's no effective equivalent online so vigilantes are the best of a set of bad options.

Another (non-paywall) article:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/07/google-pa...

Seems like it is early days on this lawsuit. The DoL are asking for more documentation about employee's pay and Google is calling it a "fishing expedition." This is definitely one to watch, but I won't be drawing any conclusions this early in this lawsuit (since even the DoL say they need more documentation to prove their case).

Note that this is not originally a WSJ story; for those without a subscription, you'll learn just as much by reading from the same news source that WSJ is commenting on (and which they link to in this article):

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/07/google-pa...

Of course, when I say "just as much" I mean "not much", because neither party has released anything substantive to rebut the other's claims. Until then, the court of public opinion is going to be both passionate and completely uninformed. But if I'm being cynical, that's probably the point of reporting on it at this stage.
What is that Google would gain from this? Not that they are strapped for money. It could only lead to such bad publicity. And if the women engineers were hired by Google, they obviously are good at it. Can't understand the rationale behind it, if true.

Interesting read! I'm still missing what "B" in the Python code referring to as well.
Of course it is, and rightly so. It's completely underhanded to use someone's premises as a brothel without their say-so.

Hotels are facilities which cater for all sorts of people and can cope with all sorts of eventualities. When you rent your house out for the night to a couple, you do not expect them to have used it as a base for prostitution, and should not be as happy to clean up as everybody in this thread seems to be.
I found the "overflowing" part a bit strange - either they had a particularly tiny bin, or that was a helluva party and they actually did a decent job cleaning it up then. Or the owner slightly exaggerated - which I find understandable, cleaning up those disgusting things is no fun. But doesn't Airbnb allow to charge for that? I'm pretty sure I've been charged cleanup fees even though I never left a mess in Airbnb apt.

Regarding work, almost nobody does "what they want", we find some compromise between our interests, abilities, and available work opportunities. Work is often understood to be that which we don't do voluntarily.

you have pimps.

I'd appreciate it if you could be more precise.

1. What do you mean by "pimp"? Is it the same as a co-worker, or is it
the same as "boss" or something else?

2. For your chosen concept of "pimp", could you	explain	which of the
following you belive to be true, and what the credible,
methodologically controlled evidence you have for your belief:

- All prostitutes in all legislations have one or more "pimps"?

- Some but not all prostitutes in all legislations have one or more "pimps"?

- All prostitutes in some but not all legislations have one or more "pimps"?

- Some but not all prostitutes in some but not all legislations have one or more "pimps"?

For all the "some"s, I'd appreciate quantitative data, are we talking about 99.9% or 0.1%. And:
is there a systemic difference w.r.t. "pimping" between legal systems where prostitution is legal, and those where it is not?

Finally, I'd be	interested to learn why -- for your chosen notion of
"pimp", having one or more "pimps" is good/bad.

The DoL hasn't released any data to back up their claim. Up to what is published for the moment, it's a blanket, overly broad, unsustained accusation by the DoL which makes the IT market look bad.

I'm appalled that no journalist (whether the WSJ or the others who relayed the info) do their work of putting the claims in perspective, and instead, just quote the nationwide non-normalized averages.
Companies like google are obsessed with diversity. The idea that they'd systematically pay women less is laughable - you will not find more liberal environments outside of academia.

I can't help but wonder if this is politically motivated.
What do you want to get good at? 'Memory corruption' is the term of art for these vulns. There are a lot of areas you can learn "enough" of.

Start with the Micro Corruption CTF. See which part you enjoy the most (finding, analyzing, exploiting). Each use similar but different skills.

You need to get good at assembly/machine code. You have to learn the patterns of what compiled code translates back to (structs, exception handlers, logic, etc). Machine code is the one constant. Notice how the author had mapped C structs in his hex editor? That is the sort of thing that gets you back to a conceptual hacking level instead of being down in the weeds. Get good at doing those things.

It is hard to discern what is going on, and it feels strange to say I trust Google ahead of the government.

Google is full of engineers who prize logic and fairness above most else, and culturally most the engineers I meet in most places espouse gender parity and equality. In light of this, it is hard to believe Google would not find a way to even up payscales. That said, while non-management says one thing it is often the case that management find a way to enact the opposite.

Something in me feels like this has the air of a dirty underhanded PR-war to it, and the government is trying to pressure Google into something we don't know about...
I am curious if you or anyone else knows why this book might have been cancelled by both Oreilly and Prgagmatic, given they have other Erlang/OTP titles. It seems odd.

Either way, how can we expect such reform to happen when the politicians we elect to do our bidding aren't held to similar or larger standards? They barely have "career" risks in not getting elected if a policy fails. But that's only if it fails spectacularly-enough for the media to make a big fuss over it. Most of the time, they double-down and claim "lack of funding", or something. That's their get-out-of-jail-free card.
IANAL. However, some thoughts for your consideration: California is an at-will state and this doesn't matter. Walking into your employer's office is a fireable offence in California.

So yes, he can be fired for this. What that would achieve, other than looking like an admission of guilt (ironically this may guarantee his continued employment at Uber unless they are prepared to give up their self-driving car department entirely to this case. He may be very sure about his position until this case - and all the appeals that follow are entirely done. After that, yeah he'll be fired. That's a decade from now).

Frankly I do believe that the odds are good that Mr. Levandowski has in fact hired a lawyer, and has decided that the would rather use the protections the criminal justice system offers him personally rather than risking $600 million (or more) and jail time.

The problem is that anything used in a court case becomes part of the public record and can be used in other court cases, including the separate criminal case against Mr. Levandowski.

So may I ask, if your lawyer told you that. You own, let's say $700 million. You could either maximally defend your employer, and through that risk 85%-90% of your net worth and jail time, or you could maximally defend yourself and create as high a burden as possible for Google/Waymo to achieve anything against you personally.

If his contract either with Uber or Google conflicts with this, I believe (without research) that it does not matter : a contract does not have the necessary weight to override constitutional amendments unless explicitly permitted in the relevant amendment. Google has filed a police complaint, thereby offering this option to Mr. Levandowski, and there's no backing out now.

I believe any good lawyer would tell Mr. Levandowski to do this. For very, very good reasons.
Methodology is important here. A lot of the logic behind pay gap talk assumes that the jobs men and women do in the same company are exactly the same, as if these are assembly line jobs and worker output can be compared in a direct and straightforward manner. Anyone who works in tech knows that what each person contributes varies greatly and there's no way to directly compare what two people do or even the amount of experience they bring to the table when they're hired.
Having a stroke is not a whole lot of fun.

There were two things. First, is the absolute helplessness and your forced infantilism. The bathroom is probably the most dangerous room in the house for you (you're not allowed anywhere close to the kitchen) and depending on your symptoms, you're not able to situate yourself on the toilet or wipe yourself properly. Having somebody else wipe your ass when you're an adult is not going to appear on the highlight reel of your life. Neither is shitting yourself because you couldn't get your pants off quickly enough before you had to go to the bathroom.

The second thing is the cost. The purported cost of a stroke is about 500k, and that's the negotiated cost when you have good medical insurance, and they pay for a private room and therapy. I don't want to think about what happens when you're indigent and forced to deal with Medicare. I don't know if you just get warehoused in a shared room and flipped a couple of times a day to prevent bedsores.

Assuming labor markets are liquid, if the pay gap is true it means either:
1. Women really want to work for Google and take less pay than working at other employers or
2. Women at almost all employers are receiving less money.

There were times not too long ago when there were Jewish quotas. Nobelist Physicist Richard Feynman was denied entry into Columbia and he went to MIT instead.

Nobelist Medicine & Physiology Author Kornberg was one of 3 of 200 Jewish applicants to get into medical school from his university.

Those universities/firms that didn't have Jewish quotas and discrimination got a good boost in performance over those who had quotas and discrimination.

If they women are only getting paid less at Google and not other firms then they should change firms. If other firms are paying less, then Feds should go after them as well and not single out Google. Any firm that pays women as much as men should be able to hire the competent women from Google.

In another part of the WSJ article, there is a complaint that most of the employees are male and asian or white. They should examine the portion of people attending top engineering schools: male and asian or white.

> Yes, Python makes preprocessing easy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use R if you need to clean up your data. You can use any language. In fact, in many cases, it’s structurally unsound to mix up your data purification routines with your analysis routines. It’s better to separate them. And if you’re going to separate them, why not use any language you like? That may indeed be Python, but it could be Java, C, or even assembly code. Or maybe even you want to preprocess your data within the database or some other storage layer. R doesn’t care.

The hell does this even mean?
All these articles always say that Python has better preprocessing compared with R. Where? I find tidyverse/data.table much more elegant than pandas, scipy et al. The only thing that I like more in Python it is how it handles streams/generators.
Well, first of all let's go back to what my argument was.
