The usual: gross police incompetence, interrogation techniques prohibited in most sane countries, resulting in innocent people behind bars.

A pattern all too common in the US.

Goldman’s Blankfein, Citi’s Corbat Duped by Email Prankster
Until you have to put kids through school or have a big medial emergency that isn't covered by your insurance.
It is not spite, it is contempt. A healthy well-adjusted individual doesn't talk that way about their own race and gender. It's toxic and I steer clear of such people.

You don't see any value in recognizing and trying to be respectful of the disproportionate difficulties and hardship that certain groups have experienced in the past? Especially as such things have been somewhat overlooked or ignored until recently?

It's not my responsibility, concern, or problem. I reject any attempt by anyone to insinuate that it should be. I also reject anything that is against my interests as a member of any demographic group I am a part of.

My position is universal and logically consistent (I expect the same of any other human being, no matter what groups they belong to). Is yours?
Well, nope. Not mine. I guess it's not such a rare occurrence anymore.

Funny, I used to live in a less trendy neighbourhood and I hardly ever saw AirBnB-ers...

I live in Liberty Village now, as a result of getting the boot from my last place because the owners wanted to take it over. They visited for the first time while I lived there. The buildings down here that aren't the million-dollar lofts seem to be rampantly used for AirBnB stays -- mainly as a party location -- often with people from the city who just wanted a place they didn't care about.
I'm failing to see how this relates to contracts in reference to home sharing. When someone buys they're home, did they sign a contract saying"The undersigned agrees that nothing will ever change within 10 miles from the property."? Or are you talking about people renting against actual contractual prohibitions against short term rentals and subletting?
You obviously have a bone to pick, and a lot of unresolved bitterness (which could be perfectly normal/expected, if you've had a lot of bad experiences/issues in the past as a woman). Hopefully though, you can see past that - I think we want the same goals.

My point isn't that sexism isn't there, or that I'm oblivious to how it manifests in the workplace - I'm not sure how you got that from my comment?

My point is that holding up totems as the single cause of sexism doesn't work. I feel that people just need to call it out when it happens, and we need to remember that ultimately, we are responsible for our actions.

Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your action?

If a man is sexist, or an ase - it's not simply because of the fact they drink alcohol or that they play console games - they can't use that as an excuse.

It's something they chose to do, or say etc.

It's right when people call it out - obviously there's a way to do that, that helps everybody. (see Donglegate for how not* to do it - it's really sad looking at the way that played out - because honestly, it could have actually gone the other way).

Also - your last paragraph is, I feel, quite...bitter?

I (and many of my colleagues) constantly try to encourage woman into tech. Heck, even my daughter - I'd love her to follow my footsteps into tech =). (My wife may have other ideas).

However, describing tech for woman as a dumpster fire, and saying that every woman has personally faced experiences of sexual harassment...that's pretty wow. Maybe I am really oblivious as you say, but my last workplace and current workplace had heaps of highly-respected women in technical roles, who seemed to be having a blast.

Yes, I have worked in workplaces where it wasn't the case and women were under-represented, but I see the tide on that turning.
Hey there. Disclaimer: one of the creators of Terraform

I wanted to apologize that this is super confusing. All the scenarios where this exists (there are many) are historical. We originally went with the "nested" approach and now prefer the "split" approach for good reasons shown to us by users. But we kept both for backwards compatibility reasons. We have no good mechanism to enforce a migration at the moment. There are a couple ways we can resolve this technically in the future. For now, we should probably make sure the docs are annotated in all situations of the limitations of nested vs. standalone. I'll mention this to the team!
Agree. I have investment properties in a few cities, and consider airbnb only as an option of last resort to fill vacancies. The daily rates seem high on the surface, but the turnover, vacancies, risks, management costs all eat away at the profits.
The Strange Secret History of Operation Goldfinger
Using the bar as a place for team meetings is not a good idea. Alcoholism and alcohol induced lawsuit issues aside, it is a public space, and that means anyone can listen in on the discussion legally. I'm not saying that almost ever is a big deal, but it can be one very easily. Remember that guy who got the iPhone stolen at the bar? Besides, as other commenters point out, if you can't say those things inside the meetings they are designed for, you should probably be shopping for a new job; if your boss sucks, get a new one
"Assume the smaller unit contains four people, a family of four. One of them is in the intransigent minority and eats only nonGMO food (which includes organic). The color of the box is pink and the others yellow . We “renormalize once” as we move up: the stubborn daughter manages to impose her rule on the four and the unit is now all pink, i.e. will opt for nonGMO. Now, step three, you have the family going to a barbecue party attended by three other families. As they are known to only eat nonGMO, the guests will cook only organic. The local grocery store realizing the neighborhood is only nonGMO switches to nonGMO to simplify life, which impacts the local wholesaler, and the stories continues and “renormalizes”."

Yeah...no. I have kids like that. We just tell them tough, cook your own food if you want something different. Likewise, I have a brother and sister-in-law that are vegan. We invite them over for holiday meals, but we don't cook vegan. We tell them to bring something that they are willing to eat and if there happens to be other food that we are serving that they are willing to eat then good for them. And you know what? It's turns out that not changing what you cook for people's dietary needs is okay and everybody survives and still gets along just fine.
That hit me for the first time 2 weeks ago. I spent a good 4 hours troubleshooting it. None of the tools or commands for analyzing disk usage counted the snapshots since it was in a hidden directory. Stupid glob star. 400GB of snapshots later I was back in business.
I've got 100Mbps plan over copper with FTTN. Generally get about 96mb/s down and 35Mb/s up. It's great.

But I'm lucky, and I get that. We play the broadband lotto, and it's not easy to win. If I move I no doubt will be back in the ADSL2 world hoping I'm close to the exchange.

Yes. Or some other scheme similar to that, where IPv6 allocations are free but IPv4 costs real money.

In which case the hard part is finding a suitable problem; you might be better off learning about SMT solvers because you don't have Marc Cuban telling everybody to do it.
I've been looking over the past few months. CA$50000 for a "software engineer" is a very commonly advertised number. Those appear to be the junior positions to be sure; I have also seen higher numbers (mid level seems to be around CA$70000 with some senior positions around CA$90000), but I cannot write plausible applications for most of those as I am not really a "software engineer" even though I have often been called on to write code. However, adjusted for inflation, CA$50000 is still well below what I started at straight out of university ~15 years ago.
I have never worked at an in office job where I did NOT need to run my schedule by someone.
True. Only time (and grammatical errors) can heel :P
At this point, it's an increasingly outdated original sin. Don't get me wrong - it's still a worrisome attitude - but such sentiments were at their peak between 1990-2010 and are now in decline (among the general population, not among the HN crowd). These days practically every socio-economic group has had exposure to the internet from a young age - this had done a lot to undo the programming that people undergo in the education system.
Nassim Taleb has written on this phenomenon:

It's pretty straighforward economics. Local landowners get to make the laws, and they have a vested interest in their houses being expensive. Sure, it means more mortgage debt and slower economic growth as cost-of-living strangles marginal businesses, but that's a cost that other people have to pay later. So, in typical Boomer fashion - fuck you, I got mine, have fun being up to your eyeballs in debt to us.
I deployed NFS/LDAP/KRB5 OpenSuSE at work with autoyast. Autoyast is the only automated installer thing that ever worked mostly as intended. Debian preseed is just horrible. Never tried kickstart though.

The SuSE stuff is hairy and there are bugs, but they put the elbow grease into it and it shows.
> I can't even imagine how I would make a vapor that harmful without combusting something

I mean, it wouldn't be hard. Plenty of simple chemical reactions produce dangerous vapors.
Here's a nice short video where someone (who I think is the same LiveOverflow that commented elsewhere ITT about something else) is using radare2 and python to reverse engineer a CTF challenge binary. https://youtu.be/y69uIxU0eI8
In Seattle and surrounding areas, Comcast is more or less the only game in town (with Centurylink a distant, distant second) if you're not in one of a dozen high-rise apartment buildings. For all their marketing around 'extensive IPv6 rollout', I've found their deployment to be hideously broken and their support staff deeply ignorant. Been here 3 years, moved once, and it's just terrible. My latest foray into trying to get delegation to work was this past weekend, and I had a Comcast supervisor (in Business class!) tell me that "static anything is not a priority for the vast majority of their customers. You can either have static v4 addresses or v6 connectivity, but not both" after several hours of troubleshooting and 'automatically closed/resolved tickets' with their level 2 support folks. It's one of the more brazen "we dare you to stop being our customer" moves I've certainly been privvy to.

tl; dr - Comcast v6 works great on Business-class until you push a static v4 config, then it just stops responding to DHCPv6 and SLAAC requests. Ignorance and aggravation ensued from Comcast support, at all levels I was able to get ahold of. Being a monopoly is awesome.

Care to bet money on that? That's rather shocking hubris.
Long before you use it for people, teleportation would unlock other capabilities and efficiencies. For example, consider what would happen for nuclear power replacing fossil fuels if we could safely teleport nuclear waste to a sealed cavern on the moon.

It's a relatively small payload (compared to transporting humans and goods) and you don't really care if an imperfect teleporting process only allows you to squeeze it through as a stream of molecular toothpaste.
> I dont understand the hate on Canadian salaries. Its a safer, more liberal country that looks after its poorest.

No, it doesn't. "It" prefers to import "refugees" en-masse and giving them free shit, rather than fix poverty for Canadians.
nit:

println does indeed print if you're using a teletype. The fact that you're probably not using a teletype is simply a matter of preference on your part.
Not happening in EU - since in such a case the company not verifying the ID tend to get liability for losses, all companies have policies where such managers are prohibited to do so; they would be risking their own money (and job) for giving you stuff without proper authorisation.

I mean, as soon word would get out that some company allows that, they'd be exploited for free stuff in large amounts; all of the obvious loopholes have been tried and plugged in the last couple decades. USA has the problems only because they treat it as "stolen identity" instead of "someone defrauded a company with fake ID", and don't have proper universal IDs and try to make do with a mishmash of driver licences, names, addresses, SSNs, etc.
Google already charges you for reserved IP's that are not in use in their cloud.

Hi Josh - this is a great point. We're working on our new task onboarding and will take this into account. Perhaps we could allow you to add tasks and see the number of moonlighters who match.

I wasn't sure about whether we have webRTC specialists, but I just queried the list of 1000 Moonlighters, and we do have a couple people who build real-time webRTC projects professionally. We can put you in contact if you fill out this form: https://www.moonlightwork.com/start
I work at Automattic, and work out of my local coffee shop probably two times a week (rest of the time at home). It's a nice way to mix things up. Also, pretty efficient as they have great food that they will deliver to my table as I work. Does end up being a bit more social, but that is good for the soul too (see all the folks discussing feeling alone in this thread).

Funny example. Last week the person next to me started a conversation about emacs. I mentioned I worked for WordPress.com, and then it turned out that two of my colleagues from Automattic (one who I hadn't met) were working just two tables over. This is in Boulder, I was pretty floored and excited to actually be seeing folks I work with in person.
What does that even mean? Never used that one...
For what it's worth - I think it's terrible when anyone kills themselves as a result of psychological suffering caused by another.

Not only that but there are clearly examples of straight up murder by PoC and women.

Claiming that because of this you get to dismiss the legacy of racism and institutionalized racism, is a straight up defense of racism and white supremacy.

Nice job.
I wish. I do have dandruff (depending on where in the world I happen to be). Head & Shoulders does absolutely nothing.
Kind of a nitpick, but that would make it pointless since, if you're paying the prevailing wage, you might as well use free (as in freedom) labor[1], since you need a lot more compliance procedures and security for the prison labor.

I think a better standard is that the labor should be competitively bid for with multiple buyers at any given time so there's actual competition for it. The prevailing wage would be lower than for free(..dom) labor, but not the pittance they're currently stuck with.

[1] yes, which to some, is a feature not a bug
In such cases the bank would offer to send new tokens by physical mail to the registered address or receive them in a branch with proper ID.

I recall a case where an important customer was stuck abroad with everything stolen; they were sent replacement tokens and cards to be received at the embassy, which could properly ID them.
Fun to read some of other stories where this bit them too (PacMan, WoW, and eBay)! Anyway, new app has been approved by Apple and should be rolling out soooooooooon....

Thanks for all the comments! Always lots to learn from.
Did you give the place a one star review?
So why did you start this by openly attacking women and PoC?

"I am so sick of women and people of color being openly hateful to people who were born the "wrong" gender and color to be part of the unfortunate many."

Seems like it's ok if you just slander and attack whole groups, but you aren't interested in a rebuttal which only attacks your statement and not your race or gender.
Designing an Airport
It's often not even an explicit choice, it's just default behavior.

Up until recently, Rails defaulted to 32 bit IDs, so there are a ton of apps out there that could have these issues, especially since Rails has always prided itself on providing sane defaults: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26266
> treating "bummer" as a sentence

I've never heard a complaint about that.

It seems as much a sentance as "Sorry" or "Okay"

I lived in Berlin for 3 years, but I didn't found or form a company. I do have a friend who has just done it. I wouldn't want to comment on the specifics but the basics are this.

1. Very easy to form a company in Germany as a foreigner
2. You will need a native german speaker, it's beauracratic and you need to speak solid German to deal with it.
3. Taxes are higher than the US, but they are fair. You pay more as you earn more.
4. There are many taxes as an individual you can claim back, such as clothes, travel to work, space in your house etc. If you get a good accountant they can really help.
5. Berlin itself is very cheap to get a great location, good tech talent but not overflowing, incredibly decent lifestyle, lots of space, lovely place to live a chilled out vibe.

I'd say if you've lived in Germany and Berlin and like it, you can do it. If you have never lived there you should move their first and see if you like the German way of life first, it's not like US or UK.
Is it illegal to lie on your resume?
I am not talking about stretching the truth or padding your time spent at a company. I am talking about stating you work at places you never worked at. I know people have been fired and had legal actions taken against them for stating they had a PHD from some where. Could someone do jail time if they put they worked at google for 3 years when they were never employed there?
Just in case if you are not aware check RDF/RDFS/OWL. Use cases are quite different but model wise there are similarities (no immutability / hash based tough).

For example case how do you manage details of relationships of tags? Like how do you handle situation where you are accidentally created duplicate tag?

Spoiler: There is not-so-small complexity creep there.

I hope sane conscious trade-offs can be done.
Don't forget you can always use IPv6 as there are gates to 6th internet over 4th internet.

After all the words Inter Net mean this technology can work over and between any network, be it Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Token Ring or whatever. And of course it can work over IP of another version.
If you can do your post-install configuration at the command-line (as a script), kickstart works well. I've done that in a few places. The PXE support for kickstart scripts is nice too.
And don't forget about the general attitude towards tech and tech workers here.

Even digital media companies seem to see technology as something that happens outside them, and should just work. They have keep a handful of developers on hand because they have to, not because they want to. And then they're just the "computer guys".

There's a significant bit of nerd stigma still. It's a bit outdated, that way.

You're pretty spot-on with the support network, though. The federal government does offer programs at an increasing rate these days, but they're too few and can't do all the lifting.

What surprises me yet is how we seem to have no shortage of digital design agencies in Toronto, but anything more technical seems to need to have enterprise money flowing in, or academic support. I'm generalizing, because there are edge cases, but it's certainly seems to be the mode.

Same with AWS, but I'm referring to in-use cost, just curious if that's coming...
Hypothesis: The partiers urinating in the elevator and the HN posters who are utterly unsympathetic are one and the same.
"Wait, we spent two million dollars servicing your fleet of 100 cars in the last year, and you're complaining that none of them broke down? Why spend all that money on maintenance when they just keep running?"
Someone just transferred 6000 of the stolen ETH out to an empty wallet. (~3.2 million USD).
No, that isn't what I claimed at all. And you twisting my statements in that way belies your statements elsewhere that you aren't angry.

I am sorry for whatever it is you have suffered that you are so angry.

I have a very deadly medical condition. I am homeless. I was sexually abused as a child.

I am also getting healthier, paying off debts and I am the top ranked woman on Hacker News which is helping me further my personal goals. Because I spent a lot of years working to put my anger down and stop using every person I ran into as a scratching post to sharpen my claws.

Whatever other shitty thing you say to me next, I think I am done with this conversation. Because you are dragging me down to your level and failing to see that no one here wants to listen to your side precisely because you are being so consistently ugly.

And that is exactly my point. I am the top ranked woman here because I don't come in here and kick the shit out of every man here for simply being born male. I do, however, stand up for myself and give push back when I feel that is appropriate. There is a difference between those two things. They are NOT synonymous.

That is getting results and it breaks the cycle of "who gets to be the designated toilet in our Lord of the Flies society?"
This. It's why the "war on terrorism" is a fool's errand, but that's also the point: the real reason we have a "war on terror" is to centralize authority for the government under the guise of protecting people. That so many have fallen for this pretty straightforward tactic is just disheartening.
I am going to say it's impossible. He is responsible for the company. That means both the good and the bad.

And his past actions have shown that's not far off; that he does behave in a manner consistent with Uber's bad actions.
Neal Stephenson also wove this idea into his historical fiction trilogy, The Baroque Cycle, set in early 1700s Europe. One of the protagonists keeps a journal encoded in binary cross-stitch as she moves across enemy lines.
You're absolutely right; I can. But there's less impetus to do so given his demonstrated lack of empathy toward others. I don't actively wish him or his family ill will or harm, but I am also less willing to give that sympathy or empathy toward him given his past actions where he doesn't give that to others.
I don't think the point is about avoiding value judgements, just setting scope of them.

And yes, any judgement can quickly turn into yak shaving. I don't know that this is about mathematical precision, it always reads more like saying "put down the goddamn shears!"
