Absolutely.

In my experience, "bro culture" is simply a sign of an immature corporate culture that hasn't figured out how to address true diversity. It means that the workplace is not likely to be supportive of people who don't fit a mold (ping pong and beer are not things I care about). They'll pay some lip service to diversity, and they'll point to some gay guy who is exactly like everyone else (except he dates guys) as an example of "hey look, we're inclusive!".

Your experience meshes well with mine -- when the company leaves the culture out of it, employees have more freedom to be themselves. If you try to cater to one type of employee, anyone not in love with that "culture" is going to feel left out -- so it tends to become self-reinforcing over time.
Perhaps, then, we need a better system that enables women to have productive conversations here.
Yep - imagine a world where most the top search results are subscription only. That's a terrible UX for a Google searcher to have to go past page 1 to actually have content. Google definitely doesn't want that, and its also anti-open web
Doesn't seem that ridiculous a comparison to me. You don't have a right to compel something from someone else, but that doesn't meant you just have to give up at whatever task you are trying to accomplish
No Touch Bar on the keyboard.

Let's hope that is a sign they will do away with it on the MacBook "Pro" as well.

Or give Microsoft 2 years to regress back to iPad’s closed app store with the advent of Microsoft’s Windows S ;)

Seriously though, Surface is built on Windows, iPad on iOS, so two entirely different approaches to a tablet device.
Yeah, I definitely wasn't careful with my wording there. I remembered reading about a study, not "reading a study". And even then, it was less a study and more "hey, a funny thing happened in my pottery class".
This. I have a Surface Pro 4 and it's garbage for work. I've had two MacBooks, currently use a Win 10 desktop, have a 6 year old iPad, and the Surface is my least favorite device. Physical keyboard doesn't work well on a lap, mediocre touchpad, on screen keyboard only pops up with certain apps, tons of updates, and awful reliability. Surface seem to increase productivity in theory/during demos, but it's a jenky experience in practice.

iPad Pro, even with iOS instead of a full-fledged OS, looks waaaay more appealing.
WOW, BEST OF LUCK
When they talk about refurbished components, are they really refurbished or just "overstock" sold as refurbished? It just seems odd that there would be that many refurbished components... or maybe they don't do that many server upgrades and just replace the whole things.
I was pretty impressed with their live demo.

I tried Pokemon Go briefly, and their "AR" was a complete joke compared to this.

As a gay person who has suffered quite a bit of discrimination and bullying from other people and who hails from a different Latin American country I advise you to stop being offended on behalf of other people. Nobody needs this patronizing attitude. It literally helps nobody.

It's extremely rare to be ip-blocked by any website just for using the Google's user agent from a non-specific range. IP's get re-used and you can switch to a new one easily, so it's really not common or good practice for this to happen.
> Saying there's no correlation to the value you provide your employer, and your pay is patently absurd

I don't think anyone here is saying that, are they? The parent comment is simply making the point that the gap between the two types of jobs is widening. I would go further and say that a lot of those jobs with a low barrier to entry are disappearing entirely due to automation and other factors.

Lossless compression can be made lossy by slightly modifying every pixel in ways that make them compress better. E.g. if there is a random black pixel in the middle of a white field, just make it white and you save 3 bytes. That's how lossy PNG works. IMO that's a more elegant way of doing lossy compression.

You imply that sharing memes in a private group is equivalent to a KKK meeting or actual sexual assault.
Why is wrong for people to want to protect something they have of value, from someone else just harvesting it from them? I can see why this is annoying but can you really not see the other side of this situation?
Silicon valley culture used to be that way, and is still that way. The cube farms was the prevailing best practice.

Then the pendulum swung to the other side with the new kids entering the workforce and wanted open office, work families, and all that. Which then created the cargo culting from others entering the process.

Now we're on the bubble of the pendulum swinging back.

So it goes.

However, as someone who spent the last 5 years working for PDF companies, I predict that a new final form, fixed layout standard will take hold within the next 5 years. The format will be able to adjust itself to multiple form factors. Both Adobe and W3C are working on competing standards currently.

...and that they have kids. The women in question were actually called on this by another childless woman within the community, pointing out that single & childless employees may still also have family obligations or other reasons they have to leave work at a set time.

In my opinion, these questions are problematic in a number of ways (my other big beef with them is that they discriminate based on characteristics that the manager has no control of, which don't directly measure the attribute you're looking for). Nevertheless, employers make snap judgments about potential employees all the time based on indirect-yet-predictive attributes; it's not unfair for prospective employees to do the same thing about their potential employer.

Well... I'd say we've got a long ways to go before an extremely volatile transaction rate limited currency which can't be exchanged at the vast majority of businesses primarily measured based on it's exchange rate with the USD is a viable alternative to the USD ;-). Especially when it's currently consuming about a power plants output worth of electricity to perform primarily meaningless hash calculations in a world where many people don't even have electricity and electricity use is killing our planet.

Things like power outages making it impossible to perform transactions (although for some people that'd be true with credit cards) is another big issue.

Not that there's not a lot of neat stuff to the block chain and crypto currencies, and I think ethereum is really neat. I'm not anti cryptocurrency, but I'd say it remains to be seen if it's a viable alternative to fiat currencies.
Aren't you forgetting something? Money never comes with no strings attached. Harvard's government funding already came with conditions. Controlling Harvard's admittance policy (which has been in place for a long time) is evidently not something the government cares about.
You don't just drop zoning laws and expect the problem to fix itself. The bad zoning lead to road planning for the densities that are there (and even then, the densities are beyond what was expected and thus infrastructure is taxed). Fixing LA at this point requires not only bulldozing the sprawl and building higher density but also requires expanded road, sewer, electric, and public transit networks to accommodate.

And in this political climate that will simply never happen. Nobody wants to invest in infrastructure anywhere there is already established buildings. They just want to build new, not refurbish old, because its cheaper to do the former, even if it is macroscopically unsustainable and fails to solve the problem.

Google Maps has started doing this, but in a very subtle way. There are several smaller parks that Google Maps has suggested in the general area where I usually hike by just showing icons for these parks on a map's zoomed out view. This caught my attention and I tapped on the park names to get more information about them. Google then knows I likely went to these parks because I used Google Maps to get directions to them.
Because they already had this in the pipe and it __was__ the replacement for the Mac Pro. But they realized that it wasn't going to cut it. So now it's the stop gap and not the new Mac Pro replacement.
You'd have to elaborate a bit on your theoretical attack here.

1. A request and its signed response can only be used for a specific login attempt by SSH design.

2. The app, through some nasty hacks, receive the host auth blob from the server to verify. If you skip this, the request will be labelled as from "unknown" to "warn" the user. Such request are never auto-accepted during "accept for 1h" periods.

3. The app has an internal known hosts list, so it denies attempts to just replicate hostname to trick the user.

4. The app has to be paired with each machine that can authenticate, or the key material must be stolen off a paired machine. "Timed" acceptance is per pairing basis, so abuse of that only works if you steal the right pairing. The app shows the name of the pairing when requesting approval.

If you want to trick the user to accept your request by firing it simultaneously with a legitimate one, you first have to steal pairing data from the machine the user is logging in from. Then, you'd either have to auth against the very same host as the user, or have the request say that the host is unknown (sticks out, seeing that the legitimate request is also there). There would also be two requests in a row, which might warn the user.

The other attack vector I can think of would be trying to accept a random request done by an attacker, either by tricking the user (clickjacking-style) or by using an exploit on the device.

A yubikey-like device with a screen displaying request information and a hardware approval method would be better than an arbitrary android device, but I would argue that the model presented by this piece of software isn't as bad as you make it sound.
I'm not a farmer either, but I would take space, quiet, and privacy over having to live in a small apartment in the middle of a loud, expensive, and overcrowded city. To each their own.
> I wouldn't say this community has a sexism problem any more than "real life has a sexism problem"

I guess I've only been using HN for... [looks at bio] 9.77 years. But yes, I'd say HN is significantly worse than real life. And honestly, I expect it to be better. It's backed by YC. It's a professional forum for people who pride themselves on being smart and rational.

Almost every time a topic like this comes up here I consider it an embarrassment. I am always encouraging people to get involved in tech. I would like this to be a place I can send people new to the industry. But the amount of sheer garbage on anything that doesn't coddle the feelings of white men means I can't.
No. Most websites don't do this.
A plastic computer is not the same as one from machined aluminium. They may have similar specs, but they are not the same computer and the premium you pay falls directly into the spots where your specs fall apart.
That's largely a self-imposed problem. People don't save even when they have the ability, they just buy more shit
The problem isn't wanting passion, its who are the types of people to emphasize passion in an interview or job announcement. It's similar to how "code ninja" was the former dog whistle for the kinds of environments that expected late nights, long hours, and no life outside of the office. The terminology has just changed.
That's a fair assessment, I would imagine by the time the malware has made it on a host, none of what you mentioned is materially relevant given that malware has made its way on the host.
It's leveling it between existing owners and purchasers.

As it stands, it's essentially subsidizing commuting. If you bought a house at $100k that's now worth $1M, and your job moves an hour away, you'd be giving up the property tax lock-in by moving to cut down your commute. Rent stabilization/control measures have a very similar problem.

Maybe but that means the search engine had access to the article's contents "for free" and therefore has a copy of that content in its index. If I am not also able to access that content the same way the search engine does (aka ... for free as an anonymous or not-logged-in user), that makes it a lot less appealing.

The idea is that you don't want to be secure now, but also in the future. The ECC Bitcoin uses is vulnerable to Shor's algorithm, and thus quantum computation. Quantum computing at that scale is a fair ways off, most likely, but on a timescale of a couple decades or more, a successful attack seems quite reasonable.

Bitcoin can soft-fork, allowing address generation with a different algorithm. It's not any sort of existential threat to Bitcoin. But it does require that you move your coins to a new address if you reuse an address, else you are vulnerable.
It's unfortunate that this guy polluted the memesphere with this. The research into the lifelong benefits of children having access to secure attachment figures is mindblowing -- would have been great if he got passionate about approaches that actually have big impacts.

You can build "self-esteem" from a variety of things, the most sustainable and healthy of which is from a deep sense that you can handle whatever emotions come up in your system and by extension, whatever life throws at you.

Building "self-esteem" on the fact that you accomplished something -- say, won a tournament or built a company and not on the experience of not abandoning yourself along the way is a recipe for unfulfillment and a string of other ills.

Healthy self-esteem is not built by giving everyone a trophy or protecting them from their own emotions but rather, helping children learn that they are accepted no matter what emotions they are having and thus learn to accept themselves no matter the emotional experience they are having.

As a former World Games Invitee, I can tell you that losing in competition is painful. For me, often debilitatingly so. And it wasn't until I was able to explore the roots of that pain response that I could heal old traumas from my childhood of my father giving us the silent treatment for days at a time after losing as a high school football coach and the unhealthy relationship he had with performance coming from farther upstream in our family system.

Our culture has created a false dichotomy of "positive and negative" emotions where we avoid conflicts, numb out with drugs, sex, TV, accomplishment, religion, food, conflict, drama, criticism and more. Our nervous systems don't feel safe processing anger, sadness, despair, and grief and so we turn to Psychiatry to suppress the symptoms vs. developing the capacity to be with our entire range of emotion and present experience.
I can easily opt out of a voluntary transaction -- the corporation has no way to compel me, but the Government absolutely can, and does in fact on a daily basis.

Your misquote of what I said finally got me to realize how strongly you've been trolling. Good game.
Fine, OK. I checked it out and there are no citations in the book at all (1993 edition), so yes it's a just-so story.
It's a randomized number per original card. Every merchant sees the same number. According to some other poster, if you have several devices (like an iPhone and an Apple Watch), then you get a new number for each device.

So, not only can a single merchant track you, but all merchants can cross-reference the data they have about you and track your whereabouts, purchasing habits etc. They just don't know who you are anymore, because that information is not transmitted. Unless one merchant asks for your email or home address, and this merchant then adds that email to a shared database, at which point we're back to step 1 and the merchants know everything about you.
I might be in the minority here, but Microsoft hasn't "reconciled" a damn thing with the different versions of Windows. Instead of getting a great, consistent experience on multiple devices, they've gotten a half-baked, schizophrenic experience on them.
How hard could it be?
Yes I understand that's how it works, but I don't get why it's important. Surely you could double spend an output as long as you don't exceed its value; and that looks easily verifiable.
> Dystopian fiction has given so much terrorizing weight to the concept of "thoughtcrime" and "wrong think" that I think people forget how much positive effect a culture can have on widespread mindsets and stopping ignorance.

I didn't read past this. Were you under the impression that thought policing is only a matter of fiction? You don't read world news, do you? I wouldn't be surprised since only an echo chamber would spouse this kind of view but you should read a little more about places like North Korea.

Thought policing is not a good thing, it will never be a good thing.

Medical records are interesting. Likewise, I think the other can of worms you open is to what extent is this data available to law enforcement when an assistant is passively observing and logging EVERYTHING through the magnitude of sensors they have. I'd hope to god it requires a warrant.

Sure. I like my Echo, but it's painfully stupid quite often, and, while the speakers are pretty good, to me, they aren't as good as a high quality wireless speaker. It seems like Apple's build quality + Siri will result in a new best-in-class home speaker.
Yep, this is the same sort of bullshit that Sexpertsexchange (experts-exchange.com) used to to do. They performed "cloaking" that let the searching index the entire page of content and then when regular users visited the site, they threw up the paywall. WSJ (and of course expecting to continue to rank well behind a paywall) is really just more of the same thing.
The data in the Washington Post dataset was gathered from media reports, not police sources, and it also showed no racial bias in police killings.
An interesting idea, but note that the "bug density" seems to skyrocket as the projects are restricted to having more "stars", suggesting that bug density of a language (as measured by this post) is correlated to people actually caring about the project.

It's possible that the association exists here, but it would be better to see a scatterplot of various metrics (stars/watchers/forks/activity metrics) against "bug density" with languages plotted in different colors. It wouldn't surprise me if the 'no one gives a shit about your toy system' factor is higher than the 'which language you chose' factor.
>> When someone decides to forgo consumption now in exchange for consumption later, it has to net out into someone else consuming now in exchange for forgoing consumption later

That's not true.

You are a farmer, there is no one near you for a thousand miles, you have an unplanted field. You have a bag of seeds and no food. You can decide how many seeds to eat now, and how many seeds to plant for consumption later. No matter what level of consumption & investment you choose, no one else has to change their consumption & investment habits.
