Ask HN: Women in tech, how do you find non-toxic work environments?
The JS job market in STL just isn't cutting it for me so I'm thinking of moving to CA and jumping into the tech scene there. Women, non-binary, people of color, how do you vet companies for not having horribly toxic work environments? I feel like I keep getting the same canned PR response of how great the culture is (for assumedly white dudes), but ping pong tables and free beer doesn't mean shit to me if I'm going to be underpaid, harassed, or viewed as not-technical enough on the regular.

What kind of interview questions have you found useful in weeding out unsupportive environments? What factors attract you to one company over the other? What other tips can you provide for reassuring me that I'm not just multiplying my potential abuse factor by jumping into a sea of ego-inflated tech bros?

The biggest problem is that the effective lifespan of a good display is much longer than a high performance computer. Even ignoring the compromises made to the computer to allow for the two to be merged, you are simply wasting money upgrading the monitor every time the computer needs to be upgraded. By attaching the two together this machine is even less practical to upgrade than the old trashcan Mac Pro.

I'm not making a claim either way on the idea that Donald Trump was "meme'd into office" as has been claimed elsewhere.

My statement is that attempting to get someone elected president just because it would be "funny" to see that person as President has real-world consequences. At some point these things go beyond being "just a prank" regardless of how effective they are at actually accomplishing their goal. Were they to actually accomplish their goal, it would have real-world consequences beyond just providing more fuel for their image board meme battles.
MIT CIO 2017: What you missed at this year's event
> Does this mean browser fingerprint is somehow scrambled before it is sent to the tracker instead of blocking?

It might be homogenized instead of scrambled. Every iOS device could be given (barring IP etc.) the same fingerprint.
> This adds up to an average image file size reduction of around 30%, which we applied to our largest and most common image resolutions, making the website faster for users and saving terabytes a day in data transfer.

I love these type of endeavors because the ROI is pretty clear. So what's the costs ($$) savings?
Thunderbolt promised there would be external GPUs, but IIRC there were licensing and corporate disputes that prevented such hardware from ever materializing (after the design and debut of the Mac Pro). But it definitely was the promise of such a compact machine: "external everything!"

Non-soldered RAM is a good start, but what about multiple ethernet ports, what about any standard scientific/medical/experimental PCI card, what about the new SSD/HDs that come out in 3 years? What about upgrading the CPU? What about upgrading the screen! Much less using Apple's "most powerful computer" headless?
How do you get 'aghast' from 'I think they have a place'??
It's for people like me. I need something with more power than my current "classic" Mac Pro, preferably with fewer cables and more energy efficient. 2 SSD slots are sufficient for my internal storage needs, especially considering the Nbase-T Ethernet port. Vega-based graphics should be able to properly run the 5K display for the next few years.

I've swapped out a lot of parts in my old Mac Pro, but at this point, I'd rather have something that "just works". And if my needs change, the resale value of this thing will still be good.

But I'm just an iOS developer, doing some multimedia and web stuff as well. Maybe that's not a "pro" by today's definition. :)
Hmm this is weird. The description says "about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)" but the technical specification says "8000KG".

It would not have been possible for google to put their headquarters in SF. Obtaining that much office space was difficult enough in the middle of nowhere. It would have been completely impossible to do it in SF. The transit impact would have been catastrophic, as many (if not most) employees at google HQ do not live and do not wish to live in SF. They can't all drive there, they can't all ride caltrain (which is basically at or close to max capacity already), and no one seems to want them running even more shuttles into SF.

Yes, the valley is suffering greatly due to 50+ years of horrible planning. No, google hasn't obstinately made a socially harmful decision in the presence of better alternatives.
They sound like they're echoing the kinds of things that are normally said about C++11.

> I agree modern C++ is nice but it's the same language still.

Well...in the same sense that any language is the same language after you add a bunch of things to it that weren't there before and shift to using those new features as idiomatic parts of the language. I would expect C++ written in 2004 to use different patterns than C++ written in 2017. Not "completely different"...but different.
You mean like the previous Mac Pro?
Yeah they explicitly said it's a Xeon, and based on the core count, it's in the E5 range.
Fastest DNN Execution Framework on Web Browser
I am not so sure I will buy another MacBook no matter what processor they put in it.

I just got back from the Apple Store. My 2013 MacBook pro is hard crashing, no logs being written. Most likely a hardware defect. They tried formatting and re-installing a fresh copy of OSX. It crashed during the re-install. They tried booting it up in a special diagnostic mode and it crashed in that mode, which should not have happened.

I bought this in December 2013 so its almost 3.5 years old. The minimum it would cost me to fix it is $475 which to me is too much to pay given the age of the machine and the cost of a new machine.

I contrast this with a Dell laptop I bought in 2001 that is still running today in 2017.

The Apple care insurance they sell can at most get you 3 years total coverage. This would not have helped me in this case.

I am going to explore other computer brands at this point.
> Can't believe Microsoft missed a beat and didn't add an official eGPU dock to their Surface line.

This is also the only thing holding me back from getting a Surface Pro/Book/Laptop. Without Thunderbolt 3 + eGPU support, it's simply not possible to get decent graphics performance on these machines. It's such a shame because I love everything else about the Surface product line.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Eve V as an alternative: http://eve-tech.com/product/

The credit card information is NEVER logged, stored, and surely not sent via email. The site has an SSL certificate and forces use of https. Soon I will put the check in JavaScript and NEVER pass the data beyond the client further mitigating risk.

>it has partnered with Valve to bring SteamVR SDK support to the Mac

Interesting to see Oculus drop the ball like this. Perhaps further evidence that Oculus has little interest in PC VR in the long run and a mobile Facebook VR is its endgame. Rumors claim all of Carmack's talents have been used on their upcoming mobile product, so it sounds plausible.

That said, its wonderful SteamVR is now the defacto standard for PC VR.
Source? Because the only information contained in user-agent strings in modern browsers are browser version (realistically limited to vendor since browsers auto-update) and operating system version. So basically all you're going to get is (Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Internet Explorer/Safari on Windows/Linux/Mac), which isn't much.

I (and the parent) want this - and don't mind doing it ourselves - on Mac-supported, stable hardware. A supported, stable, updateable Hackintosh.

Please, Apple, sell me a big Apple motherboard, a quality case, and write OS-X with boot and driver software that supports various CPUs, RAM, storage, GPUs, power supplies, and peripherals. You know, like Windows and Linux have done for years. Whitelist or blacklist as necessary to make it reliable and dependable, but no more than necessary. The model works - but Apple doesn't work with the model, which is why my current machine isn't a Mac anymore.
I don't know it's fair to assume quality means theoretical quality over perceptual quality in this context. They took the time to make sure perceptual quality was quantitatively consistent, so they get a pass in my books.

I'd be angry, however, if they used the word "lossless", as that implies no _information_ is lost.

And right now the entire university education industry is colluding to suppress certain types of speech; an incident like this could happen at most universities, not just Harvard. So why doesn't freedom of speech also deserve specific legal protection? You still haven't justified treating freedom of speech differently from freedom from discrimination.

"Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise" because I've been learning ineffectively my whole life not knowing that I was. Should be required reading for every 15 year old. The best, most science based book I've ever read about learning effectively.
Not getting. Can you explain in detail?
Let's do some back-of-the-envelope calculations.

Let's say the probability of someone cloning a Velociraptor within the next 20 years is 1 in 1 trillion. Let's say that given a Velociraptor has been cloned, it has a probability of 1 in 1 million of escaping. Let's say that given a Velociraptor is on the lam, it has a 1 in 100 billion chance of breaking into your house. Let's say that if there's a Velociraptor in your house, checking for it increases your chance of survival by 1%.

Let's assume there are 1 quadrillion Bitcoin addresses created.

Under the assumption of correct implementation, checking for velociraptors in your closet is literally more rational than checking for duplicate addresses.

Now, there is some value in checking for duplicate keys as a safeguard against implementation bugs, but that's best covered by generating a billion addresses on your own and checking for duplicates within your personal set.

VC's and their portfolios would have taken losses too, but 1) they tend to have a longer (~10yr) time horizon, and 2) at least the VC equity-based investment model doesn't cause credit bubbles.

Honest question: What could ML provide for this use case over existing tracking protection extensions that use hard-coded block lists?
Nope. Say anything you like. Learn to live with the consequences

Having found that much of the modern world has quite effective protections for free speech and free association, authoritarians have learned this "one weird trick" to hide their activities. Here's the dishonest trick: Just because it's not in the set of rules enforced by city, county, state, and federal officials, then it's not censorship. That's the same as saying that anything you do is OK, so long as it's not against the letter of the law somewhere.

The whole point of free speech is to prevent authority from chilling dissent and coercing fake-agreement through fear and power. How does it matter if that sort of thing is happening through non-government organizations? Our country and most of the western world has a long history of oppressing groups largely through such non-government oppression. The manner in which homosexuals were oppressed is almost the same manner in which you would like your political views enforced. Do you know what people used to say about this? "You shouldn't go to jail for it, but you can't demand that other people like it."

You shouldn't go to jail for it, but you can't demand that other people like it.

There were laws against homosexuality in the western world, but the societal enforcement mechanisms were operating with far more frequency in the 20th century. There were laws suppressing black people, but the instances of societal enforcement mechanisms were far more frequent than arrests. Far more people read the posted sign or subtly got the funny vibe than were arrested. In many places where there were no specific laws against being Jewish, there were many, many instances of people being excluded from the best connected clubs and social circles on this basis. What you want are these kinds of societal enforcements operating, but on the basis of your particular ideas of what's right and wrong. So long as no one is being injured or killed, and no state "monopolizers of violence" are at play, then it's okay.

It's not okay. If you are trying to force instead of convince then you are being a crappy, oppressive person. History is full of such people, most of whom thought they were doing right. In the same way, history is full of crappy violence, committed by people who thought they were fighting for justice. Thankfully, civilization has made progress, and we are now in the process of groups giving up violence as a means of enforcing their will. Similarly, we as a civilization are better understanding that groups of people using other forms of societal pressure to enforce their will short of violence are also oppressive. What you are advocating is that same kind of crappy non-consensual illusion of agreement, and justifying it because governments aren't doing it, and because in your mind, it's "might for right."

Convince, not force. Consensuality should be at the core of any 21st century intellectual's morality, and true consensuality is never begrudging.
The situation is very clear, any code base that is older than 5 years and more than a million lines will be forever stuck with python 2.

The real story of what happened during the DAO to me seemed like fast, responsive, and intelligent leadership.

They had a problem, they asked the community how they would like it dealt with, and acted accordingly.

Saying the founders were losing too much money so they hard forked it is a gross misrepresentation of the reality. It's like a Fox News representation of what actually happened.

Sure there is: bank loans, growth capital, corporate backers through a JV, et cetera. This is how new business was financed for centuries. If you're talking about companies that grow up to be "average" but still fail at the rate and with the recovery rates of aspiring unicorns, then ofcourse not.
