How about the the General Services Administration saying "We won't buy, nor allow contractors to use, any printers that don't comply." If I were a manufacturer, that would be compelling.
May or may not have perpetrated the same crime circa late 80s using $1 bills on soda machines not yet hardened against the attack. It may or may not have taken a lot of dexterity and timing to pull the bill back just at the right time or the soda machine would be left inop with a long strip of clear tape hanging out of the bill slot.
I used inheritance rather than composition when writing a wrapper to DataTable (before extension methods existed) in C#. I fixed it later for future companies, but it ran in about ten times the time it should have taken and it killed the product. A little while later I offered to come back to the company to fix the mistake. it would only have taken 2 to 3 hours, but by then the product was dead.
Not to underplay that growing up as, say, a black American in the projects comes with a whole host of horrific challenges, but this comment is incredibly sexist + racist.

>> You don't feel uncomfortable when you see the police.

I become incredibly uncomfortable around police, for many good reasons

>> You don't feel uncomfortable walking down your street at night by yourself

This as completely untrue. I've been followed several times by very shady people, and had one guy start charging me in the middle of the night from three blocks down - I jumped into a random taxi full of adrenaline. We were the only two people on the street as far as the eye could see.

I've also had to redirect myself into crowded areas in the middle of daylight after shady characters were following me.

Why is that? I live right beside a homeless camp and often these characters are shooting up on the street and then will yell at you about how they are going to "fucking murder" you. You'd probably be shocked to know that 95% of them are white males who were screwed by society.

>> You don't feel uncomfortable going to your church

I grew up going to church and always felt uncomfortable, it felt off to me. But I don't understand the point of this comment. I guess virtue signaling?

>> You don't feel uncomfortable kissing your spouse in the street

Damn right I don't. I can take you down streets where all sorts of minorities don't feel this way either. More virtue signaling?

>> In my opinion, the discomfort you're feeling is nothing compared to the others I described. So get used to it. We do the right thing because it's right, not because it's easy.

This is virtue signaling at its prime.
There's no good reason it should do so when backgrounded.
Why Encryption is necessary? Why back-door is a bad idea? – SuratNow
I wonder why Pixel Qi didn't become popular enough to fit this niche and not die as a company - seems to have many benefits over e-ink, including refresh rate and some colors:

I find JS requirements perfectly acceptable for maps, twitter, youtube, and netflix. Particularly maps.
It's because they sell their hardware, software and services to consumers, not to ad buyers. It has nothing to do with their cash hoard (Apple is perfectly happy to maximize their profits regardless of cash on hand).

It is nice that Tim Cook is pro consumer privacy and that gets baked into the company culture, but Apple is also financially motivated to continue this stance (it's a major differentiating factor and marketing point).
There can not be any sexism without the behavior being based on sex, and it in this case it isn't clear that it was. That's an assumption people are making.
When I'm excited about something I'm prone to talking over everybody, and after realising this was sometimes squeezing people out of conversations where they could provide valuable input I've done my best to learn to catch myself doing this and try and consciously stop and let them talk.

What seems to be the case is that men are more likely to interrupt back, so on a population level this does tend to squeeze a higher percentage of women out - but it doesn't squeeze out the women who're happy to interrupt you back, and it does also squeeze out the quieter men, whose existence and contributions I've also become more aware of as a result.

So the mistake may not have been gendered on his part, and I'd suggest you think hard about whether you're engaging in benevolent sexism by believing only women can be quieter and more in danger of interrupted.

(note that given your other comment down-thread, it may be he's more likely to interrupt women - but it also may be that men are more likely to interrupt him back - if your watching of the video strongly suggests the former then fair enough, but my point here is "all quieter people gain from us learning to talk over people less" and I think that's worth remembering)

Hey a sibling backer!

I agree, it quickly became a gimmick, and such has been face down on a counter top since I got it.

It is slow, it seems to use more CPU, and the stand that came with it is a joke. At least they had VESA mounts on it, that kept me interested another week.

One problem is that it gets this greasy look after an hour or so and you have to manually interact with it to clear it up with the buttons.

It would be nice to use an existing display cable, HDMI, DP, whatever, and plug it in without a further thought. Let the GPU shuffle the bits around the wire.

Got floaters. Dark is better because of less shadows. I am pushing the dark theme thing in Pharo for that very reason.

BTW, there is the Sublimish Theme that didn't made the release but will be in Pharo 7.

The general take for the next release is to make all of the skinning easier for the system. Like how easy WinAmp was to skin.
That's not remotely close to what she said. In fact, she says that there is sexism in science and thanks her for speaking up. She says that her love of science prevents her from getting caught up in concern over the sexism, but she never says that it isn't real or an important issue, just that it has not stopped her from pursuing her passion.
For a non-PWMed high DPI monitor adjusted to match the e-ink's brightness and contrast, the only difference in the light hitting your eye is the spectrum and the polarization. It's not completely impossible for these to matter, because of interactions with optical imperfections of the eye, but I've never seen any evidence that it actually does matter.
Same. Maybe I'll make a point of not appending the "mdn" and just scrolling down until I find the MDN result, in the future.
Labels can ruin people. This was perhaps poor manners and should be mentioned but how can Marilee Talkington look deep into someone's "soul" by one single event and determine that they practice culturally rooted sexism?

Jim Holt has now been branded from "Facebook" to "Teen Vogue" of being a de facto sexist as a result of Talkington's opinion.

Talkington is an actor, director and women's rights activist which are notable pursuits.[…]
Simone – a distributed simulation service
I have never heard of serial numbers on bullets, and a google search led only to proposed state-level legislation to require them, which has not passed.
Ok, so the woman who is ostensibly the victim doesn't see it as sexism, but presumably a random man who wasn't there and didn't see the event is arguing it is. Hmm, who to believe? Why are you mansplaining sexism to a woman and denying her lived experience?
On DDG, you can use a bang search to directly get there too. Try: !rfc 1925
I've been an Android user since my first smartphone, but Apple's privacy and human-hand-sized phones really had me considering an iPhone for my next purchase. I ended up with a Pixel anyway, since I can't use iTunes and I like having a filesystem and using Firefox, but it was a near thing.
As an experiment in 2001 I created US $5, $10, and $20 notes on inkjet and actually passed them.

You posted this in response to some woman being self-conscious about men knowing when she is going to the restroom and I swear it sounds like your intention was to provide her with a disguise to solve this problem of hers. And apparently I wasn't even the only one to interpret it that way.

It almost feels like you are doing the exact kind of post-rationalization I said is an unhealthy thing to do :)

Honest question: Did you watch the rest of the video?

I did and completely disagree with your assessment.

>1. You browse without JS. You're a power user. You already know why the page doesn't work. A courtesy message would be nice, I guess, but it seems fairly pointless.

Well, the point is that a lot of people post their site on HN as "Show HN", and the "intended audience" is then (or should be) "power users", which should also mean that "power users" (few as they might be) are potentially interested to your site, but you make sure that only a subset of these power users can access your site (not necessarily in full, sometimes a simple text summing up what the thing is about would be enough to either - as I do if the page doesn't load - discard it or get me interested enough to turn javascript on/use the "other" browser).

If you don't post your site on "Show HN" the missing "no-javascript message" is only a (small) lack of courtesy, if you do post it, it sounds (to me) like a plain lack of attention.

In the real world, you open a new shop in town, and advertise on the local newspaper "everyone is invited for the shop opening tuesday at 7:00 P.M.", than you put at the door a couple big guys that only let in those dressed "black tie".
I do have a suitable attire, but I am not going home to change into it, not without having at least the possibility to peek inside your shop and see what it is about.
Will I become a customer? Maybe yes, maybe not, but more likely not.
You make one good point for e-paper though: paper is always adjusted to the room lights.
What I want is an open source printer--like a reprap, but 2D? Why not? The printers we buy are such obnoxious crap that falls apart as soon as the warranty is over.
UI looks indeed better. Uses FreeType instead of strike font. One can tune the freetype glyph contrast in the settings as well. And use any freetype font, like Hack (which is what I do use).

Works smoother because of usage of FastTable which replaces the old lists of morphs that got overkill. Actually, Pharo was fast for dealing with that massive amount of morphs. It felt slow because of the amount of stuff it did. But not intrisically slow.
Because he did. He rambled over the only woman.
I've had many of the same thoughts. To the point that I think I've become more racist because of them. Isn't that what racism is? Treating someone different because of their skin color?

I've instead resolved to think and worry less about it. I know I don't treat people different because of skin color, and that's good enough. If I'm rude to someone and they think it's race or gender related, that's their problem, not mine. (And I'm generally not a rude person, so it's not like happens all that often anyhow.)

What really started me down this path was a friend of mine (she's a "person of color") who honestly believes that "all white people are racist", "it's impossible to be racist against white people", and "all cops are corrupt", among other things.

After a while, I started to worry that all non-white people thought everyone was being racist all the time. Her poison infected me to the point that every time I passed a co-worker, I'd wonder if thought I was doing something racist at that moment.

I wasn't. I knew I wasn't. But I worried that they thought so.

But unless they're really good at hiding those feelings, they aren't thinking that. I know some of them well enough to know they'd show some outward sign of discomfort if that were the case.

In the end, I decided my friend was toxic to her own cause. Her constant (racist) posts about racism actually pushed me in the wrong direction, and I've had to correct for it.

Instead, I recognize that it's a kind of mental illness to expect everyone to be racist to you. Not just to guard against it, but to actually expect it. It's also a mental illness to think that nobody else could experience what you do, or understand it without actually experiencing it.

I can't fix those people. I can't only walk away and let them think whatever they want. I'll keep being a good person, and they'll have to deal with any bad feelings they're creating out of nothing.

Out of curiosity, how do you keep the employees from walking after an asset only transfer? The vague promise to them about future riches has already been broken. And you will up changing business practices that ruffle feathers (I'm not sure how you could avoid it. This stuff is rarely written down). Hell, you'll probably assign them to a new project anyway. So how do you keep them from leaving in droves?

The Distraction Economy: why scalable UX is the next revolution
I don't care if he's 14.
I moved to the country purposely to ensure my kids could have that life. They have 100 acres to run around. All the trees they could want to climb, a tire swing, a "fort" which is really just the clearing under a tree with branches that hang down to the ground and shield it from view.

As long as they're not killing each other or destroying anything, I am actively hands off - on purpose. It's my opinion that the roam-free policy my parents took with me instilled the belief that I am capable of anything I decide. I'm actively trying to instill that in my kids. No matter how much frustration that causes me, I want that for them.

There's no rubber mats. There's no safety net. In my whole school of kids, the worst injury prior to anyone learning to drive was a couple of concussions and a couple of broken limbs. 150 kids in the school. There were no deaths, no catastrophic injuries that put them in hospital. Those didn't come until they were old enough to drive. Most of the parents in my village seemed to have this roam free policy. We would all show up at each other's houses, go for bike rides for miles, swim in rivers unsupervised, learned our own fears and boundaries. Heaven forbid we pissed off one of the neighbours and our parents found out about it. Then we'd be for the high jump. Heaven forbid you got grounded and couldn't go outside and all you had to play with was buckets of Lego while all our friends were outside building jump ramps for their BMXs and all you could do was look out the window at them.

Both of my kids have clinically diagnosed ADHD and my eldest also has ODD. If they didn't get this outside time, I might have jumped off the roof myself just to escape the torture this brings.

I actively encourage the kids to go out and play. I'd rather they weren't in the house. When they're in the house, they're just making a mess that it's more of a fight to make them clean up than it is just to clean it up myself.

I firmly believe that kids should be able to be kids without having all of our rules and orders shoved down their throats. It's stifling and all it does is make them question themselves and hurts their self esteem.

My kids believe they can do anything. This frequently makes me pull my hair out in frustration, but I know that once they become adults, what frustrates me endlessly now will be the tools they use to take on the world and succeed.
Most of the big post-IPO companies hand out stock on a regular basis as a bonus or a top-up to the actual pay.

The corp in question for me was Amazon. Around 1/3 of my pay (more some years) was in the form of AMZN stock that vested every six months. Stock, not Stock Options. No paying for it, no decisions, just boom, you now own X more stocks and how would you like to pay the income tax on that?
There are already court cases that affirm that anything you store in the cloud is not subject to 4th Amendment protections because it's not on "your" hardware. WTF? We get conned into buying into all this cloud bs and then they turn the tables on us!
What an annoyingly selfish host. His job is to get his guests to talk not for him to bang-on about what he thinks they think.

Men talking over women - I see it all the time in the workplace and I know I do it myself.

Anyone know any techniques for stopping it when they notice it in a meeting ? Maybe interrupt then apologize and hand back to the person who was being ignored ?
Show HN: Hybrid app to teach words using sentences from movie and book plots
That book was well written but incredibly condescending to people who do live those lives and don't get to 'abort the experiment' when they aren't comfortable with the step down in lifestyle anymore. And obviously there are millions of people who live on those wages in the real world, not in the fiction she created for herself. She was obviously trying to make a point about the difficulty of being poor or 'working poor' which is hard to dispute. Obviously it is difficult being poor and it always has been.

The real questions of import are left completely unanswered in that book: what meaningful policy changes can be made to increase jobs, training, education, lower costs (that's a big one--she never mentions the supply side at all) and other meaningful metrics that actually move the needle rather than merely evince patronizing sympathy from her Prius-driving, suburb-occupying, Ivy League-educated audience.

Possibly total comp. Statups are stingy with health insurance, while larger corps are more likely to pick up more of the tab (and occasionally, they'll pay your monthly premiums in full). This can easily add an additional $12k-24k to your total annual comp if you have a family.

Comcast Has Always Opposed Internet Freedom
HPE Looks Ahead to Composable Infrastructure, Persistent Memory
Neither issue is directly related to freedom of speech. Net Neutrality is indirectly (extremely indirectly) due to throttling based upon bandwidth and content factors that could influence the types of content a user prefers to receive.

SOPA had absolutely no bearing on freedom of speech. SOPA would have made internet publishers liable for the content they publish via user submission. The result is that a content owner could then sue the publisher, who currently hides behind DMCA, instead of needing to perform the more extensive discovery to sue to violating user who submitted the work. Internet publishers are still liable, even without SOPA, if they fail to respond and take necessary action against a violating user in response to a DCMA take down notice.

By equating net neutrality, an almost absolute good, with SOPA this looks much more like an excuse to protest something instead of actual substance.
I'd rather deal with an adult who cares about their job and customer service than some dead-eyed, gaping-mouthed, bovine-brained, fashion-concerned teenager any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I'm sure there are arguments. In practice, it seems to have made the web slower and shitter, tho.
No, this is silly. All language and behaviour has context. This idea that you can eliminate the shades of grey to find some absolute definition is largely what makes me uncomfortable with the more extreme proponents of this stuff. Such as those who believe particular words in isolation are always bad regardless of context.

It would be much healthier culturally if we take into full consideration the meaning and intent of the accused, as well as the feelings of the apparent victim. Which I feel like the OP's comment highlights.

For ex, the moderator could have been oblivious to the fact she hadn't spoken much, as the only woman there, and when he asked the question he may indeed have been so excited that he spoke for her. The kind of people who get moderator jobs at big events like this are the extrovert types. The ones who talk before listening... so I don't think that is entirely unrealistic here.

An extrovert too busy looking for a chance to talk himself, instead of being sensitive to the amount others have spoken? This just as likely as him believing he could do a better job at explaining the subject, merely because she was a woman.

So if we look at the objective facts: that a lone woman on a panel wasn't allowed to speak, even when her expert subject was brought up, would seem like the moderator was sexist. But digging into the context it's possible there was far more to it and this is often lost in the shades of grey when you only view it from a single perspective.
Everything will look like sexism, including real sexism.

This is like basic thinking skills 101 here.

Let's simplify.

Let's say you perceive two rocks, one real and one fake.

Just because the fake rock is not real, does not mean the real rock is not real.

You're right, perception shapes reality. But apart from perception shaping reality, there is also an underlying reality beyond perception. A real rock is real.

In the story from TFA, I don't know if the sexism was real or perceived.
To be fair, i didnt even thought about HN API. I was doing some tests to learn about the desktop notifications and did the "fast way".
