Again, the form is a bit prickly, but I think I've done a good job of spelling out what "you can't find a good woman programmer" likely means.

Yes, the OP is irate, and no he should not have let that irritation show through, but I insist that the substance of his arguments are not without merit.

> it deserves flagging, not a retort

Censoring opinions you don't like is not the way forward. There's a reason these discussions are so polarized, and your attitude is largely responsible for it. I implore you to stop.
> it's not on a per user basis because that would make no sense

Unless I have misunderstood, you are suggesting that fixed pricing provides higher expected returns than tailored pricing, which I think is incorrect.

Imagine people's private value for a particular good is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.

In the scheme you propose the expected per-customer return for a fixed price x is x * (1-x), because everyone the x fraction of people whose private value falls below x will not pay at all, returning 0, and the return for all the (1-x) fraction of people whose private value is above x is just x, because the price is fixed.

In a tailored pricing scheme, still requiring a minimum price of x, the expected per-customer return is 0.5 * (1+x) * (1-x), because again the x fraction of people whose private value is below x will not pay at all, returning 0, but for the (1-x) fraction whose private value is above x you expect to receive their average private value, or 0.5 * (1+x) (obviously assuming you could determine this perfectly).

The maximum return under these two schemes is using the tailored pricing scheme with x set as 0, meaning that tailored pricing for all customers provides the highest expected return. You can see a plot of the two curves here [0]. This is a simple model, and perhaps someone more skilled in mathematics can provide a more general answer, but it does show that tailored pricing _can_ be beneficial (suggesting firms would probably try to do it if they found it to make sense, and were able).

I would also note that the following quote seems like it is probably not correct as well, given that a web server has full control over what it returns to each individual, as well as the means for obtaining fairly reliable distinguishing information. The prevalence of these behaviours is difficult to assess because it is somewhat difficult to perform comparisons between individual responses at scale.

> The public nature of most consumer prices makes it so that this kind of scheme is not all that tenable

Yeah, but who are the users of Typescript? Developers that, by and large, can usually tell the different between a genuine bug and analogous cases of not understanding where the FILE button is. The signal:noise ratio for reported typescript problems is certainly such that its much easier to filter through the issue tracker and find the genuine bugs.

People use github issues as tech support quite often, but the users of excel are nothing like users of Typescript.
Do you happen to know if they outsourced or if they opened a subsidiary there and just moved the positions?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that Google has been recording internal things digitally for a while. It is a tech company.

Sure, it might not be as easy as "just a SQL query". But if they can make cars which drive themselves, they can figure this out.
Keybase seems like a really good implementation of the idea of identity verification, but I feel that it needs a lot more users to make it more useful for everyone.
I don't disagree that traditional Smalltalk programming environments offer some significant advantages. For me, they do not come along for free. The price is analogous to if Python could only be written using Vim or JavaScript in Sublime Text or Perl required switching between a driver and navigator every twenty to thirty minutes. In general there is a large degree of orthogonality between editor and language when it comes to ergonomics and cognitive load.

GNU Smalltalk has a default environment: Emacs. Online documentation is available. A REPL is available. Is it better? Depends on what the metric is. For me, it is because I only have to learn one thing: the Smalltalk language. I don't have to learn a new workflow right away. I can continue to use org-mode and babel and literate programming. I don't have to use a mouse. I can tile my windows. I can treat Smalltalk like just another programming language and switch between it and Lisp and Python and Ruby and Javascript and HTML and Bash all without a context switch at the editor level...e.g. I can change buffers and update a Smalltalk git repository with the same mechanism I use to update a Python repository. Sure, it is a tradeoff. And if I was working in a different environment, all the features of the Smalltalk IDE might easily be worth the compromises in exchange for their advantages.
Yes, but that's the point at which you get recursive self-improvement. A little bit afterwards there'll be nothing humans are best at.

Fortunately someone already started working on "fun theory".

It won't be a sharp cut, though. Computers will begin partially automating AI development a while before it's fully automated.

In order to do a quarterly email that pays your the service you would have to achieve a minimum page CPM of $15 which at the industry average rate of $1.50 would need 10 ads sold and trafficked per email. Not impossible, but a lot of effort to source and manage that revenue and/or more frequent emails, larger rates (more sales effort) or ...?
A "graph business process" is borderline content free. All business processes can be expressed by graphs. What is a graph? A dynamic data structure. That is it.

So what is a "tree database"? A graph database with a bias for a specific ordering of its nodes. Does that make a tree database a query result (path traversal) in a graph database? The confusion of it all.

So imho one uses a "graph database" when (a) the domain is open ended, and (b) information is sketchy (precisely: incomplete), and as an important case in an open ended domain (c) we need to express a set of relationship types and ordering.

Semantic systems, for example, fit that description and can be reasonably considered as /fundamentally/ graph based. Some CRUD backend and OLAP on that domain likely does not.

To conclude, the naive impulse to reach for a graph db is likely induced by a recognition for needing something more expressive than a k/v, or doc store with secondary indexes, but fearing the dreaded RDBMS. Thus one "shoehorns" a static, completely captured, and fully described, domain unto a graph database cause E-R ain't sexy and SQL is a mystery. (Heads up: graph path expressions can get hairy too.)
The article is pretty specific. First of all, it talks about school kids who you can't really tell to "be rational about it". Secondly, if you turn off your phone but people still organize multimedia mass-harassment behind your back, "turning off your phone" doesn't change shit.
Here in Germany, all these bike lanes exist and function more or less as well as they can. Taxis tend to play chicken with you a lot, but they also respect your space if you claim it.

The main difference between here and where I learned to drive (CA, US) is driver's education. Bicycles are not treated as second-class in the driving curriculum: you are required to check over your right shoulder every time you take a right turn. The presence of marked bike lanes helps reinforce this notion. You will still find those who park in or walk on them, which is annoying, but overall I feel safer here riding my bike than in the US.

Honestly, I don't get all the complaining about bullying.

We live in a technological age where we can control what we hear with headphones and other noise isolating devices. If we don't like something, we just turn off the stream. It's like left-wing advocates and Fox. They don't like them, so they don't interact with them.

If you don't like that people around you are bullying you, inform them that you don't care about them and avoid them.

Go on living, stop being a hyper-sensitive prick about people saying mean things. They're going to bully whether or not it's at home, school or work.
Likely they turned both of those off on purpose. If you can't depart due to lack of a manifest, you turn off flight status and check-in.

I was able to do a flight status a little while ago though.
I don't know how his university is, but our has a quota of how many men and women get admitted each year. There is an exam you sit on (it's all pure math problems for the CS course) and the top X women and Y men enter. The exam is the same for both genders. The average score of the women who get admitted is consistently slightly lower than that of the men.

That said, the difference isn't really big and I don't think the women have it any easier, if we accept that their innate ability is lower than the men's. It's computers, not rocket science, it's not that hard after all.
Do we know if their quality of work is the same as the men who work at Google? Without that, any discussion of bias or discrimination is impossible.
Nobody else is saying it so I will: it sounds like you have been brainwashed into guilt and victimization by modern media/propaganda.

Break the chains and own your life. Do good for the world and it doesn't matter your background.

You need to grow a small IDGAF portion in your brain as well and do what you want to do, not what others want you to do.

You seem like a good person so I'm confident you will do net-positive things, so cast the BS guilt aside, own it, and go make things happen.
I have always wondered - do Screen Savers actually save anything?

Do they save significant amount of electricity? Do they make the screen "last longer"? What was their purpose?
I honestly thought that was the whole idea behind it. I think an app like this could be run for cheap, it's essentially a P2P messaging app.
The GL screensavers are great, but IMHO the best is Pixel City. Somewhere there's an article about how the author did it and the choices he made to allow efficiency and verisimilitude.

Opinions that actively hurt people and damage the reputation of our industry when published, as well as being demonstrably false should be censored in a private forum, yes. HN needs to actively avoid being a toxic shithole, so I’ll flag this sort of thing until I’m told by the mods to stop.
>> Indeed, if women were systematically underpaid despite equivalent performance, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be hired by the boatload. This might be explained by (1) a lack of women relative to men in the developer workforce and (2) a systematic bias in competence.

But not, say, (3) a systematic bias in hiring practices.

Heaven forbid!

Old CRT monitors were susceptible to burn-in. Having a screensaver or turning your monitor off when not using it was how you prevented burn-in.
While I disagree with the wording of OPs comment, I think it's easy to see that the problem here is that there is not enough women programmers - but I think we can both see how this in turn leads to difficulty in finding good ones?

For example - my MSc course in computer science had 30 people total, and out of them 3 were women. Of course, it's outrageous that only 10% of the students in that course were women, but that's a deeper problem that needs to be addressed far earlier than MSc level.

However, put yourself in shoes of a company recruiting programmers - you need to hire 1-2 programmers out of those 30 graduates. If you say that you only want to look at exam results and nothing else(completely blind choice) what is the chance that they will end up with a woman programmer? Very low, but it's not because women are any less skilled - it's just that there's fewer of them.

That's the problem that needs to be addressed first.

(For the sake of argument, I would say that if we looked for some predominantly female roles, like a nanny, the same would apply - "you just can't find a good male nanny" seems true, but it's not because men are any worse at it, it's just that there's so few of them in this profession)
A third point is that "turn off your phone" is incredibly dismissive. A person shouldn't have to live without the Internet due to the actions of one, two, or twenty individuals.
You also need to pay for staff to handle customer and legal complaints. That ain't cheap.
> I prefer iOS because there is a single vendor for managing the sales and the development of both the hardware snd the software

If that's really your only reason for preferring iOS, Google has been making phones for over 7 years. There are obviously valid reasons for that preference, but the single one you've mentioned isn't.
Retro active datasets are commonly court ordered. Laws aren't retroactive, but all court proceedings are retrospective.

Googles 100k assertion here is bullshit. They did a calculation that handing that data over, or even just collating it, would leave them in a worse position than fighting it.
Yes, others' opinions can result in actions you don't like. I don't see how that is pertinent here.
Top Best Canister Filter for Aquarium in 2017 Reviews
@someonewhosecar3s:

I've witnessed what you describe about women preference in Australia and I'm afraid this culture gets contagious in France. Women get a complete different privileged pathway to jobs, yet studies keep studying "How men and women get educated differently". Here's what I'm doing, and it's time all men do it too:

- Started a Youtube channel to provide a counter-analysis to common misconceptions. For example I've dismantled every second of the Always #LikeAGirl ad spot.

- Started writing to every single institution that isn't compliant to male equality (i.e. every time an institution is dedicated to women, such as France's "Family and Women's Rights Minister", or France's subventions to help women's careers.

- Started petitions on Change.org against political parties who, in their "Gender Equality" chapter, help women for tiny inconveniences and don't help men for e.g. their 3x higher suicide rates. That means calling for people like Trump vote if Hillary's program treats men as disposable. Her exact words, which participated to electing Trump, were: "Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat." I can't explain enough the level of disdain the general politics represent towards men (and this disdain against men dangerously fuels things like Trump, Brexit, FN, etc).

- Ideally I'd like to attack institutions for illegal discrimination when they officially discriminate men (ex: Gender-based help programs), but that requires putting my name in public, and I'm afraid of violent actions.

Equality will be when men defend themselves as much as women. Go find a petition today and sign it, at the very least.

Sure. I'm sure that people are saying all sorts of bad things about Mirimir. And about my other personas. And about my meatspace identity. But I don't go out of my way to read that stuff. Any more than I go out of my way to read media that seems stupid.

However, I do get the concern about anonymous online mobs. If you're targeted heavily online, it's possible that someone will act out violently. Like that guy who shot up Comet Ping Pong over “Pizza Gate.”

People generally don't seem to handle online anonymity very well. But that's just how it is. Online anonymity is too important for many reasons to be killed over harassment. The key is to provide it anonymously, and make sure that it can't be taken down.

And the more interesting note - it gained a three stone handicap of skill with 1 year of practice.

If they were to continue at it should we expect a 3 stone improvement in skill every year? Maybe they made some major leaps this time and future changes aren't as large. So a 3 stone improvement every two years.

It doesn't take long until the Go being played is fundamentally a different game than what we play. Even if it's on the same board with same rules.

What does it look like when Go still isn't solved, but AI is 20 stones better than the best humans? At that point we can no longer even tangibly measure its brilliance. Only ask it to compare its brilliance to other brilliant AIs. What will that even look like through out eyes? What will like look like when an AI is 20 stones better than us at war games?

I assume next step for AlphaGo is a real time strategy game like Starcraft, or some other game with incomplete information. 3-5 years from now when mastered it'll be hard to persuade people not to use it in the real world.
Language is fascinating. I grew up in the deep south with both southern redneck slang and hardcore ebonics which makes for some interesting slang. I haven't lived in the US for a long time now though so I barely knew any of the slang words in the article.

Anyways, some of the best redneck/ebonics stuff I remember were:

1. I'm fixin' to take a shower. == I'm going to take a shower.

2. She's a yappin == She's talking all the time.

3. I got a hankerin' for some ice cream == I'm craving some ice cream.

4. I didn't get a lick of that inheritance money == I didn't get any inheritance money

5. I done talked to hime == I talked to him (done can be placed before just about any past tense verbe)

6. What it is? == whats up

7. I axed him == I asked him.

Anyone else got some great slang?
"But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm missing something. Let me know. I love being wrong, it lets me learn new things"

So, I think the concept of society especially for teenagers in their school-controlled world is very interesting.

You're ostensibly right, "just turn it off", but I think it's more complicated.

So why would someone go to a place voluntarily where they are being attacked?

Maybe, it's an important part of the society there, an important forum that the most respected people are using.

Being a part of your local Yik Yak for teenagers is like going to I/O or WWDC, you're in the nexus of the community.

I think those chats acted that way for many teenagers. The location-binding feature is perfect for the insular school communities to create exclusive popular communities.

And to be as mean as they wanted through them.

Also with regards to harassment, Yik Yak would commonly be a place where people go to discuss real life harassment of others.

So, for those unfortunate few, they weren't going to Yik Yak and seeing harassment, rather, they never went, but their harassers used Yik Yak to discuss, refine, and promote the real life harassment.

I think it's very complicated to try and insert ourselves back into the insular school mentality to try and understand this, but I think it's simple that Yik Yak was/is a popular tool for coordinating real life bullying.
I believe you are wrong in assuming this blasée attitude is the right one or obvious one for everyone.

In a way you are overestimating the maturity of teenagers and young adults. In another way I think you are overestimating your own (and anyone's) ability to handle personal offense on a topic that you are sensitive about from a person that you know and it is close to you (you don't know who is, but you know you know the person, that's the point of hyper local).

The article touchs on that. One thing is a person saying things you don't like on TV directed to the masses. Another thing is a person far from you and who you don't know saying bad things directly to you and your friends. And yet another thing is someone you know and it is close to you saying bad things directly to you and your friends. This last one is much harder to act like you don't care.

But, ultimately, it is not about being right or wrong, it is about exercising empathy. Understanding that people react differently to situations and we have to consider that if we care for them. Doesnt matter if we personally would react so much better than them or not.
>> There's a reason these discussions are so polarized, and your attitude is largely responsible for it.

That's like witnessing an arson and calling out the person who called the firemen as responsible for shit being on fire.
