I've been looking at plugin hybrids recently and the Prius Prime looks to me like an interesting competitor to the Volt (and it's a very different beast from the old Prius plugin). It has half the electric range of the Volt, but it's more efficient and (something that matters to me because we like car camping) has more cargo room. The Prius Prime gets a full charge in 5.5 hours on 120v.

Regardless, these both seem like awesome cars and I'm excited that there are cars that give you both electric drive every day and the ability to go as far as you want using gasoline.
More than two months in my spare time. To collect the "static" information, and create the Ansible roles and python scripts to collect the "dynamic" info (the results from the benchmarks) and finally compose the final document.

I lost a lot of time waiting for the benchmark tests to finish ;-)
How will a fake id pass BarZapp? According to the article (I know nothing about this, so could be wrong) it looks up the id in a database and returns the name and dob of the owner. How could the made-up name be in the database?

Or are they cloning existing IDs, and the buyer doesn't get a choice in the name?
Not at all.
If the skill requirement is lower for women to get into the same position as men, is it not rational that, on average, those women will perform poorer than the men?

Imagine they did the same thing for university entrance: men need all prerequisite courses and a 3.8gpa, whereas women need only 75% of prereqs and a 2.9gpa.
It only makes sense that the women are going to score lower in exams/flunk out, since their initial starting point was, on average, further behind.
Can you install, like on normal Chromebooks, Crouton on school Chromebooks if you know how to ? Because then kids have good opportunities; just for doing their school stuff, doing browser (and server) dev if they want to and dive in deeper with Crouton. All for $100-200.
Of all the problems of disenfranchisement and discrimination that genuinely hurt people, this politicization of identity is the least interesting.

> "Only certain dishes like noodles, dumplings, kebabs, and rice bowls have been normalized. The majority is still largely stigmatized because, bluntly put, white people have not decided they like it yet."

You know what: if you like whatever dish and you wish others would too, then write and vlog about it and try to popularize it. Use a pseudonym if you think your name connotes the wrong ethnicity for your audience's sensibilities. I do.

> I myself had many of my pitches labeled by as "too niche," only to find those same topics surface in articles by white people years later.

Or perhaps you were pitching the right thing at the wrong time. We'll never know.

> Please, think about who you give the microphone to.

If you want the microphone, take it, it's yours. But please fight battles with more obvious foes and more serious stakes. There are lots to choose from.
Sorry - I think I was just proving your point...
> a gateway to something very similar to communism.

At least it would be explicit. Western economies tend to have income redistribution in various forms anyway. It just gets mixed up in tax rates, tax credits, service subsidies and entitlements. People have little idea what the flows of money really look like.
You could also use the layperson-supplied colour names from the XKCD survey:

It took colourblindness into account.
>In Greece, we don't check IDs for alcohol use (in practice. I think we're supposed to be doing it, nowadays). There are also no on-premises laws for alcohol.

That's not correct. The law states clearly that alcohol purchase and consumption in public are illegal for underage people [1]. It's also illegal to enter premises where alcohol is served, without being escorted by an adult.
Unfortunately the problem with Greece is not the lack of laws, it's enforcing them

Pokémon on 3DS is wonderful for learning Japanese. It's a game for kids so it's made up of a lot of kana with some low level kanji.
This is such an astute observation. If you take an article about individuals or companies the media loves to denigrate, they will take every opportunity to not only mention other negative things but cross link to every previously written negative story they've published, sometimes to the point where half an article is referenced to many of the past negative things.
Workshop: CSS AT SCALE – 19.06. in Zürich
I feel like a good seller is probably also someone who is choosy about his clients, and doesn't sell to baby-faced 15 year olds.
Probably both. I still remember a full-time ad in The Economist around 2006-2007 by a German Landesbank, where they were promoting themselves as the coolest of things when it came to banking and managing clients' money. Not 2 years passed and that same Landesbank was by then in very serious trouble because it had invested heavily in US mortgage derivates, I think there was also talk of its general manager doing prison time. He probably didn't.
that's not quite the cobra effect. For that the number of female developers would need to have been reduced and not code quality.
But a drivers license is not a valid proof of identification here
Interesting, although not particularly surprising, results there.

I'm afraid that the InfoSec community has been unsucessfully persuing the idea of "RoI" for security activities for a long time (I remember debating the idea 10+ years ago..)

Also the idea that increasing breaches would drive good practices seems not to have taken root that much, probably due to breach fatigue and the fact that most companies who are breached don't take any serious financial hit.

Realistically the most likely way to improve this situation is for it to feature more heavily in contracts and perhaps regulations.

Having a contractual requirement to carry out specific activities relating to code quality/security can drive them as there's a clear monetary cost of not doing so.

So carry on while the caravan wails?
>"This was something that had been on my mind already. I wanted to find the data to show that structural oppression exists," she says.

Very cool. Did you come up with these "color names" yourself?
The work vs. business question is simpler than that. Business = working in US for a foreign company. Work = working in US for a US company.

Presumably Basecamp has set up business entities abroad.

This is the weirdest part of the story for me. Does anyone else get boxes of chopsticks in their mail so regularly that they instinctively treat it as junk mail?
I take your points. One quibble here is that in my state, motor scooters do not need insurance, plates, or tax as long as the engine volume and top speed are below certain values.

It really is a shitty feeling for me. I grew up in New York, and was too young to really understand what was going on during the Bush days, so for me the Trump era is a new feeling.

This is the first time in my life I am embarrassed to be an American.
I'd love to see a distribution of level, age and years in industry, salary by age. If Fb has put more effort into hiring female engineers directly from college, then they will probably skew junior. The answer is probably not that simple and as you mentioned, all women are probably being challenged more than their male counterparts.

The general tone of this recent article on HN [1] I think was quite negative towards the OP, more so than the median. I have seen similar behavior in code and architecture reviews, interviews, etc for women at companies I have worked. Everything literally turns into a qual. Everything they do is judged to much higher standard. Or even non-sensical standard. It is still the case, that when I come across a woman in dev, she is most likely a freak'n bad ass and has a really thick skin. To me, this shows that we have not yet achieved equality, otherwise there would be more _average_ programmers who are women.

That wasn't said.

There are certainly good and bad developers no matter what gender.

If you have stricter hiring policies for men and e.g. only the top 10% of male candidates land a job while the less strict hiring procedures for females get the top 40% females a job, then you created an imbalance in skills between the genders in your company (and only there), and this is what might have happened here
We will have interesting case of positive feedback in that case.

If FB female code is of objectively lower quality promotions should make things worse. If it is not - it will be fixed.
When to Enlist a Board of Directors or Advisory Board
Greece's problem isn't the debt. It's the competitiveness of the economy, or more precisely the lack of. Even if we had all our debt erased, the way the economy is structured we'd be back in the same place give it a couple of decades, at most. We spend so much money paying pensions that it's a given we'd default one way or the other.

Furthermore, you can't just default on the debt just by saying so. There's a naivety among mostly Greeks that just by going back to drachma and defaulting on our debt will magically solve all of our problems. In a country that imports pretty much everything that would be catastrophic.

Varoufakis never came up with a plan. He admitted that there was no substantial alternative about converting into drachma. All that he did was playing bluff for six month, dragging a whole nation under his ideology. Then he moved on to greener pastures, not giving a fuck about the havoc he wrecked with his actions.

He can act as a smart-ass all he wants in his books, but we were here and we experienced first hand the results of his reign. Once we get rid of this charade of imbeciles that act as the government, he and many of his former colleagues will end up in jail for their actions. There he will have plenty of time to write memoirs.
I have a Lenovo T440s. My BIOS has an "activate/deactivate/permanently deactivate" setting for AMT. I set it to "deactivate" for now.

Any idea what this buys me?

Their last BIOS update was March 14. I'm hoping their next one has the new firmware.

> The options for payment were Bitcoin and Western Union; since I’m neither a Russian hacker nor a Dark Web impresario, I opted for the latter.

This is so frustrating for me to read. Western Union has its own set of problems and its users throw money away on fees, but why is cryptocurrency being thought of as a only being used by Russian Hackers and Dark Web impresarios?
Are you implying that people will turn off their air conditioners for the brief <5 minutes of darkness? I really doubt this.
I guess I'm just more cycnical (possibly pragmatic) than you, because IMO it is "apples to apples". I believe that the US was captured by corporations long before Trump made it to office, and the only way to sway corporate opinion is to hit them in the wallet.

Sadly, as a foreigner, what I purchase is the most effective way to be heard. Besides, how successful is a business that blames potential customers for not buying their products? "We're gonna bomb them until they buy our cars dammit!"

I also disagree with you about why Trump was elected. I hear this condescension argument all the time but I think it's total BS. I suspect it's more about jobless (white) men and is a much harder (and real) problem to solve than simply being polite.
They aren't for an individual, they are for a data set.

Meaning that more senior people have a higher skill in the aggregate, and given the context they're talking about at least dozens of data points. One exception doesn't discount the trend.
Yeah, those completions that show the documentation is something that shells like Fish already do out of the box. The terminal is not the right place to do this to begin with.
Don't let it stop you. Despite the anecdotes most people pass through the border with no issues at all, certainly no more than the grilling you'll get flying into parts of Europe (UK and Denmark come to mind from my personal experience - nothing too crazy just a lot of questions vs some of my US crossings where they barely look at you).

Likewise with the violence you'll see in the media. Most of America is safe and people aren't walking around waiting to shoot someone.

It would be like saying you won't visit any of the great European cities due to terrorism concerns. The perceived risk is much greater than the actual tiny risk.
+1 You beat me to it.
> You can spend hundreds of millions of dollars before you even get to the point where you can ask the FDA if you can start human trials.

What's a rough breakdown of costs? Salaries certainly don't seem to be the dominant factor. Is it lab equipment & facilities?
You're making a lot of assumptions there. Do you have any evidence that they lowered the bar? Also, aren't they hiring kids straight out of college in droves? How do you go about properly assessing "merit"? Isn't that a bit of an unsolved problem in hiring?

To me the whole thing just raises a bunch of questions that don't have any satisfying answers.

That looks nifty, but I'm hesitant at this point to try any addon that's not e10s-compatible, since support will be going away soon and I'm not interested in losing e10s in any case.

Does someone here know of something similar that works with the new API?

Very nicely done. I would recommend either a simple tooltip popover for each button on first startup, or a simple help button somewhere. It took me a while to realize/notice that the snowflake button was to freeze the frame.

I wouldn't want to clutter the elegant simplicity of this app, but it was confusing to me initially.
It's not something we ever really think about. That list of closing parentheses just signals termination of the top-level S-expression.

And there's virtually nobody coding in a Lisp that doesn't use a structural editing mode (like Paredit or SmartParens). E.g., any time you type "(", you get "()", enforcing balance.

What we rely on is proper indentation to indicate the important groupings.
How eero mesh WiFi routers connect to the cloud
I own an ASUS RT-AC68U. To be clear, this is an opt-in feature. When you switch the toggle button that enables any of these features, you're immediately greeted by the EULA, making it clear that what you're doing has more implications than just "turn the feature on".

I wanted to see bandwidth usage history/analysis, so I was going to enable it. When I was greeted by the scary EULA, I backed out and didn't turn it on.

To be fair, I'm not sure how a router like this could actually perform this functionality without sending information to an upstream service to manage the data. Simply not enough computing power / storage to support those features locally.

I don't want to send my data to ASUS/Trend Micro, so I didn't enable it. I don't think there's anything malicious going on here.

Why would it be painfull? ClickOnce is stable and the only dependency is .Net 2.0 ( but you can use higher once off course)

PS. ClickOnce is awesome. A restricted Client ( you can't do everything you want with it), but it can be installed through a browser ( easier for the user) and it automaticly fetches updates ( if set up right, not hard)
Google and Microsoft do the same to check URL reputation...
Really beautifully designed app!

As a fellow colourblind person, I've looked for similar "name the colours" apps before as I struggle to identify some colours (more out of curiosity than any real need, as I'm not a designer) but didn't find anything as nice as this!

Looks awesome for creating palettes too. Thanks for posting!

Is Twilio really leveraging low-level connectivity though, getting the cost benefit of "direct to telco"?

If I search around, it sounds like they use bandwidth.com as their upstream provider. Bandwidth.com released their own api, with lower pricing: http://dev.bandwidth.com/

I also don't see much high level difference between Twilio and their other competitors like Plivo, Nexmo, etc.

Especially for simple things like SMS, it would seem to make sense for large users to have a thin shim layer that lets them load balance across providers. Negotiation would be pretty easy when you can just turn the dial to show that you're serious. This field feels very close to being a commodity.
I wanted to be able to suggest using something like ubiquiti or mikrotik.

But then I realize that I have no idea how secure/private those are either.

I imagine pfSense is good (or any of the forks) for privacy. But that can be pretty overkill, and really shouldnt be necessary just for a small SOHO router.
I think it's more about the insane devotion to backwards compatibility (which rivals Linus Torvalds). I mean, the whole object colour thing (where the community discovered that their classification system was completely wrong) was handled by just reordering the classification (but keeping the names) so that old papers and catalogs could be used verbatim is true devotion.
Speakeasy – build better better mock servers for mobile
No, there's no biased assumption that women are worse developers, just one about relative numbers and relative skill distribution.

If the number of qualified female developers is less than the number of qualified male developers, then any company which manages to achieve hiring parity has either lowered the qualifications it demands from women developers, or increased the incentives it offers to them relative to other firms (enabling it to capture a higher share of high-skill female developers). Since the latter approach is obviously discriminatory and quite possibly illegal (not to mention a blatant violation of the principle of equal pay for equal work), the former is more likely.

The result of the former is that the median female developer at that company will have lower skill than the median male developer at the same company, even if women in the population at large have the same or better development skill.

The incentive strategy could enable a firm to secure the best female talent, but besides the ethical and legal implications it would also make things much worse for all the other firms out there: the best female talent being off the market, those firms would be forced to either settle for lesser-skilled women or accept a disproportionate share of male developers, neither of which would be appealing.

Naturally, increasing the supply of women developers to match that of male developers (or reducing the supply of male developers …) would improve the situation, but that's a horse of a different colour.

It's neither. All BarZapp does is read the barcode and check that it contains reasonable information and it formatted according to the standards. Vendors have figured out proper formatting so they look appropriate to BarZapp. Of course, no fake id will pass actual lookup in a database. Except of course cloned IDs, which are extremely rare in my experience. I've heard of stories of someone with a stolen DMV database who would sell fakes with real information for about $700 each, but I've never seen it myself, and no reasonable vendor doing anything like that would be selling through the clearweb.
Because most people who use it are in one of those groups or doing business with someone who is. It is, of course, an unfair stereotype. It's just as popular among Chinese hackers.
My parents used to own a small condo on a small shipping channel on Lake Michigan. The scale of ships is incredible. There is nothing quite like standing on the fourth floor of a building, and looking at something that is much larger than the building you are in navigating a narrow curve in a river without assistance.

I've lived in Chicago for my entire life, and I often think about how amazing it is that we as people have constructed things as large as skyscrapers and highways. But oceangoing vessels can be just as large, and they move.
it's sad that you have to create a throwaway to have a genuine opinion here.

Because the fish can't be stored very economically once you harvest them, the cheapness of fish now is due to overfishing, and directly contributes to future scarcity.

Strangely, the best place to 'store' fish is right in the ocean, and for an overly harvested fishery, you even get paid interest for it.
