WSJ is discriminating against Google's user-base by blocking content that Google presumed the user would have access to. Yet WSJ thinks they're the ones being discriminated against. As WSJ is finding, Google will not even bother attempting to index, sort and recommend content that is unavailable to 99.999% of its user base. It's nice that they're supposedly better off, or at least the same off, without high Google results. Though I doubt this will stop them from endlessly attempting to game the system.

I was under the impression that ecdsa was potentially broken by quantum computers, but SHA-256 was not. Is that not the case?
All new Teslas have the 12 sets of fancy sensors (cameras and ultrasonic) sprinkled around the car, complete with mounts and cabling. The car is also fairly well optimized for minimum air resistance to maximize range per watt. The complications mean that your average body shop can't do it and/or doesn't have access to the parts. So you get higher prices, which of course results in more claims because more of the repairs are well above the deductible.
Futher to this, I think blaming Black Lives Matter for this is directing us from another group that is much more strongly opposed to addressing this: right-wing opponents of BLM, who are implacably and universally opposed to the idea that "environmental racism" could possibly exist and overlap heavily with opposition to environmental protection laws in general.

What's wrong with just not making any assumptions based on gender and race?
The Economist does this. EIU is about 1/3 revenues.
8 tons to GTO is the expendable weight limit. With reuse it is around 5.5 tons.
Relatedly, the strategies I've used also change over time.

At this point in my career, I rely more on preemptive screening by employers. I list my talks about Cyborg Feminism and Feminist Software Development on my resume, along with my talk at Lesbians Who Tech on why imposter syndrome is a rational reaction to a lack of reliable feedback. I posted a blog post about how the decline of women in computer science is related to the rise of Internet culture and the disparate treatment experienced there. I regularly tweet about racism and sexism in tech. In my personal statement last time I was looking I said explicitly I was looking for an "intersectionally-feminist team".

This isn't a technique I would have used when I was starting out and needed Any Job. Now that I have a skill set in high demand, though, when people who don't want me around rule themselves out it just saves both of us time. And on the flip side, when a founder is excited that I name-drop Donna Haraway, it's always at least going to be a fun conversation.
Makes me wonder what shape such a planet would take.
living like that is probably the worst possible thing one can do for the environment unless they are living off the grid, farming for themselves etc. This is not a scalable solution to make our planet a better place.
While I understand the sentiment, how many people are estimated to be displaced? It's possible the local governments could work with very small amounts instead of coding another loophole into another law.

Is it really accurate to use "monopoly" for cell providers? AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon all have most of the US population covered, giving most in the US a choice of at least 3 if not 4 providers.
> The network stack has been out of the content process for a super long time, it is not a new thing.

FWIW, Chrome's network stack doesn't live in the content process either. It's not currently sandboxed, but it's in a process that has no scripting runtime or other dynamic content, so it's still pretty high bar for exploit. The exact reasons for the current situation have to do with some legacy Windows support that has since been removed, which is why the sandboxing work is now moving forward. So, I definitely appreciate your situation with adding some sandbox exceptions for WebRTC.

> I suspect over time we'll see our respective sandbox models become more similar over time, especially on macOS.

Fair. But I will say that Chrome being cross-platform tends to naturally push us in the direction of eliminating sandbox attack surface. Our supported platforms just differ so much that it's easiest to lock down the OS as much as possible and implement narrower, origin-bound capability brokers inside Chrome. If I were more tightly bound to a given OS implementation, I expect I'd have a lot more fights about sandboxing, because it's easier for devs to just standardize on what the OS gives you.
Also: it's not hard to imagine that people who do lack that maturity and self-control would also be more likely than the average person to be drawn to that type of workplace.
When I read a comment, the first thing I do is read the ones above it so I understand the limited scope of the comment. I don't immediately rub my hands with glee and go about compiling a list of situations to which the comment doesn't apply. I guess that sort of thing appeals to some.

Complaining about losing data is in no way the same as assuming entitlement status or forcing someone to do something. The job of a police officer is to enforce laws, and exercise human judgement. The issue with the fifth amendment would be handled by lawyers in courts, not by the officers on the ground. IT jobs have completely different parameters. The comparison with police officer is entirely irrelevant and as such I don't want to continue that discussion.
> (perhaps autonomous driving may allow a small %age increase but I am highly sceptical past that).

I'm imagining in the future that some roads will be reserved for automated use only except in emergencies. At that point, you greatly increase the trust in individual agents and planning can be communicated ("I plan to move 3 lanes to the right in 1.5 miles, FYI"). Average speed increases, "turbulence" reduces, which improves throughput and speed consistency though doesn't help with exit bottlenecks.

That said, you're right. The law of diminishing returns continues to apply even if it kicks the can down the road a bit (i.e. adding a 5th lane results in a 10% capacity gain without SDVs, 21% gain with SDVs -- numbers are completely made up).
This parable is designed to illustrate the difference in outcomes based on perception.

Gender and racial bias in tech are not based solely on individual perception but also behaviors of individuals within a culture.

How can this parable be seen as addressing OP's question?
Net illegal immigration is trending down due to enforcement and a less robust US economy. The only way to improve upon the situation is to improve working/living conditions in Mexico, accept it as a given, or kick everyone out. NAFTA is an attempt at #1 but it is a double edged sword, you lose jobs in the USA but get more corporate profits / cheaper products) from cheaper labor in Mexico. What I think was unexpected was that China came a long and really reduced labor costs further while cloning the intellectual property.

Conditions in Mexico (and South America) did not improve enough though; China has amassed major purchasing power (such that expatriates are buying properties to hedge and take capital out) further increasing costs globally in affluent cities.

So cities and communities should ideally increase density (available product) in response to demand. They could in fact raise their tax base, improve living conditions/services and reduce costs. This is all in support of the growing tech economy.

In LA there are probably more renters than owners and perhaps those that are able should vote. I think the problem is people don't and when they want to buy or think about it they realize they are SOL and either have to gentrify some part of LA or move out.
I think you misunderstand military culture. Basic training is about preparing you to survive battle. The reason skin color matters less to the military is because they are "blood brothers" -- they have each other's back and keep each other alive, which is an effective means to help people stop sweating the small stuff, like how much melanin the skin of various members contains.

>the Ford’s four generators were designed to provide triple the total electrical power provided by the eight generators on the Nimitz class — 13,800 versus 4,160 volts.

Nitpick: voltage is not the units that electrical power comes in. At best, you can convert to power delivered by a fixed-resistance conductor - V^2/R , which means that the power provided through equivalent wiring connections has gone up by a factor of nine, not three.
That might not even be possible. Homeless people can't afford to maintain their cars either so there is no guarantee they would make it to the destination by driving, especially if it is an old high mileage vehicle.
- There are other websites with way more authority talking about SGML. (Like the W3C website).

- You have no/little sites or forums linking to your content.

- Your page titles are uninformative. Biggest offender is probably the homepage, with a page title of "index". But even for your reference page, it it is just "Syntax Reference" (way too general), and Google actually uses your page headings to repair this to "SGML Syntax Reference". Try inverse breadcrumb style "SGML Syntax Reference | Docs | SGML.js". BTW: you ranked 2nd for "SGML Syntax Reference".

- Suspicion: Content not visible (like those in the content slider) is ranked lower than always visible content. Chrome headless crawler can detect this. Add this slider content as regular text to your homepage, and also try to expand content there. Include links to your latest blogs.

- I prefer hierarchical headings, not just sections and <h1> for everything. This, because hierarchical headings can not hurt, but non-hierarchical headings could hurt.

- Finally, SGML being a standard, there are simply a lot of competitors for this keyword. These competitors are not commercial competitors, but authoritative websites with lots of informative content. Exactly the sites that Google likes to rank high. If you want to rank for SGML, you may be fighting an uphill battle.
A person that thinks compromising his/her own time is not worth the money is already making a choice by not working as hard as you would. You should not discard that. And such a person will not choose to work hard for money in the first place, so you are asking for impossible (or very unlikely) data points.

Also, why would someone give up money they already had? They either worked hard for it or obtained it by some luck. In both cases, throwing it away is not earning that person more time for hobbies or to spend with family.
> I also think that there should be more emphasis on separating personal/professional ambition from how much you earn.

Absolutely. I'm probably on the prolific end of the spectrum, but not with the end-goal to make money (although extra money would free me up to be even more prolific).

I think the end goal is to make the most out of this brief existence for whatever that's worth (and for whatever you take "most" to mean).

I create, therefore I am.

At least that seems to be the way I turned out.
"you'll have a worse experience than when they make positive assumptions."

Unless they're Asian and they expect them to outperform your peers because "Asians are just raised to pay attention in school, get good grades, and just be smart." Then, that person starts underperforming since they're average, not geniuses. Then the pressure or stress builds with a portion burning out or commiting suicide.

The Asian example of overly-positive expectations was one they gave us in diversity class I took. Quite common. So, both forms of bias can be really bad.
I might have been too hasty. The first couple times I read it, I thought your original comment was saying that paying for news wasn't worth it because journalists who are willing to work for free are less biased. Rereading it, it sounds like your point was more along the lines of paying for news in of itself doesn't lead to less biased coverage.
The difficult thing to grasp here is your continued insistence that someone claimed they are entitled to something when they did not.

That's a reasonable position to take.

That said, one argument for rolling back prop 13 from primary homes too is that as long as it's in place those property price bubbles are more likely to occur. As long as their property taxes will remain flat existing residents are still incentivized to oppose constructing new housing, pushing prices ever higher.

If existing homeowners felt some discomfort from the housing shortage - in the form of higher property taxes - as opposed to only seeing massive financial upside - in the form of rapidly appreciating home prices (which can be realized when they eventually sell or can be borrowed against for immediate cash), then they would be more incentivized to support building more housing supply, keeping prices down. Right now existing homeowners are highly incentivized to oppose building more housing and that's a huge part of the reason why prices are so high.

Of course, there are downsides to rolling back prop 13 for primary residences too - it's not as if everything would work out perfectly smoothly. But I suspect a rollback could be crafted so that the transition could be pretty comfortable for existing homeowners.
If you have an interview at their office (and you should), keep an eye on the decor and the body language of the people working there. Ask to see any common areas, the places where people hang out at lunch time. What kinds of posters do you see, what kinds of memes? Although to each their own, you can get a good sense of what's considered appropriate by how people decorate their space, and how comfortable they appear.

Here's their comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6ettq5/statement_...

Also, it's normal practice for a contract to throw an exception if ETH is sent to any function that doesn't know how to deal with it. This includes the "fallback function," which is what runs if no other function in the contract is called. With recent versions of Solidity, this throw is built in, unless you mark a function "payable." But they were using an older contract, and there was no protection built into their fallback, and that's what made them vulnerable to this issue in the first place.
200 acres 3 hrs away from a major metro? If all it took to be happy was land, we'd already be in our telecommuting utopia. Unfortunately, the subtle joys of life still tend to require physical presence.

I don't think "city life" is popular with today's generation because it's close to work... I think it's because we value human contact and cultural diversity above acreage or square footage.
I certainly recognize the irony of suggesting that Google might help improve competition.

That said, there aren't many players in a position to provide actual competition to Pinterest like Google can. The obvious concern is where you draw the line at anti-competitive if Google tried to do the equivalent of what they did with Yelp ratings.
Apple seems like the kind of company that would bother including cameras and then be able to stand behind a decision to lock users out of using them.
> Why do people want to be landlords over others? Why do you want to live in a world where it is normal to take huge debts, only to hand off the monthly payments to people who are barely treading water?

Seems like you answered your own question. Being a landlord exposes you to risk and in most cases yields profit.
The Air is perfect for professional wordsmithing (the other kind of pro that Steve Jobs always seemed to remember). If they could stick a retina display it, they'd sell a ton of them.

It isn't necessarily deceiving. In many situations, I'd rather know where the information is rather than Google pretend it doesn't exist.

For example, Google scholar will search papers that are behind a paywall. By blocking them, I wouldn't even know what to purchase.

The best approach I've seen isn't to change defaults, but rather to make porting customization painless. And that's definitely something that can almost always be improved. I've actually been recently impressed by Samsung in this regard with their "Smart Switch" phone app. Super simple to transfer a lot of the stuff you care about from one phone to another, including sourcing from iOS and even Windows Mobile!
Yeah, I just don't get why you wouldn't get an air instead of trying to use this. Is the touch screen really that helpful for working? I much prefer to use my mac book, but I'm probably just not the target audience.

I'm not convinced that Prop 13 is the best or only solution to the "we don't want to kick senior citizens out of their communities" issue. Prop 13 only helps you if your property has appreciated in value anyway. So by definition, all of its beneficiaries are sitting on assets that have appreciated, sometimes enormously.

Currently, Prop 13 caps property taxes as a percent of the last sale price. What if instead we allowed property taxes to increase with home value, but deferred collection of the incremental tax increase until the sale of the home? The back taxes owed could even be capped as a percent of appreciation. Given that the property's price has by definition increased, even after paying the back taxes the seller still gets much of their money back, the government comes out whole, we don't force old people to sell prematurely and the tax burden is shared more equitably between old and new owners.
You can do some (most) of the stuff using interfaces/protocols in languages that support these.
Only sort of - it says how far behind the standard I might be, but since we're limited (on the Web at least) to what the browsers have implemented, it's not really measuring the important parts. (And in the backend, we're limited to what Node or other server-side engines support, and generally that goes back to the browser support).

ES2015/ES6 might be 2 years ago, but feature complete support isn't yet available on all major browsers. I expect, however, that ES2016 will hit complete-or-basically-complete support relatively soon after full ES2015 support. If true (or any other irregularity over time), I might be 2 years behind on ES2015 and 1 year behind on ES2016 according to their names, but I might have, say 3 months until ES2015 is an option and 8 months for ES2016.

And of course, unlike, say, Java, it's not really a yes/no choice. I tend to use const/let, native promises, fetch(), and arrow functions, but haven't yet had/found/realized a need for generators...am I behind ES2015? If 30% of ES2016 is implemented by most browsers, and I use one feature included in that 30% in 2017, am I 1 year behind?

The ES6, ES7, etc labels do an equal job (that is, not a great one) of saying how behind you are, in a more compact package.
> I picked up a Foundation novel in a thrift store a few months ago in a moment of nostalgia and found myself cringing so much that it was a relief to reach the end.

Leaving out the tacky technology (nuclear-powered kitchen knives? really?) and society seemingly in a 1950s stasis, what did you find cringeworthy, if you don't mind me asking? I re-read Foundation last year and nothing else obviously bad popped out.
Then you end up with a bunch of really expensive infrastructure in low density neighborhoods, which is really really bad. Cities can't afford to maintain said infrastructure, and you end up like Lafayette, Louisiana[1], or any of the older suburbs in the US.

Dezoning and allowing urban areas to densify is the only reasonable way forward. Sure, you won't have every road be a 6 or 8 lane monstrosity like Atlanta, but that is not a bad thing. By densifying our cities, mass transit becomes much more efficient and cost effective, and reduces/eliminates the need and outsized cost of owning a car.
