I've worked with a predominately Woman staffed workforce for most of my professional career.

This whole charade of sexism can go fuck itself until the ageism issue of Baby Boomers riding out their job past their expiration date to go collect their pension.

It's not a gender issue. It's a getting fucked over as an employee issue. Maddox at XMission had it right that anytime somebody is willing to do a job for less money, whether illegal immigrant or for whatever reason, it's bad for us all. That was 20 fucking years ago.

Show me where women in the workforce have actually increased benefits and salary and I'll shut my fucking trap about being the asshole who stands up in the middle of a meeting talking about how I'm doing 200% more work for 0% more money and then we can go from there.

I'm seriously tired of this woe-is-me-I'm-a-prisoner-of-my-own-creation narrative. Why? Because I have a pre-existing condition. It has nothing to do with my gender, but if I'm not employable, then I'm fucked. Sure, I can sit around and play the blame game, but where does that get me?

This is not an male-oriented screed, this is something that is endemic to the US workforce culture. I can speak to it, I can cut you down to size at any point it time. Just look at how I treated Aaron with his little pet-project of looking into insurance.

Did I belittle him? Did I snipe at his humanity? NO. Did I basically laugh at him like a child who shows a parent a Play Dough sculpture of the Eiffel Tower? Yeah, I did, because I work in art.

One thing people forget about ART AS BUSINESS is that ugly people belong on radio and beautiful people get in front of the camera. This isn't Sexist, because it cuts both ways. Do you look like John Hamm or Bruce Willis? How about Tidla Swinton or Michelle Rodriguez? Hollywood isn't sexist, it's just fucking shallow and superficial.

I'm 100% behind women-based initiatives where there is money to back up the mouth. SV Women should invest in ART that helps tell the stories they want told. Make your statement and be willing to lose money on it. Christian films do it all the time.

Why do I have this attitude? Because as a Male I have been the recipient of unwanted romantic advances and overtones in personal and professional spheres where I want my experiences to be respected. I have been sexually harassed by women and gay men in more than one job.

Right now? I'm being emotionally abused in my current job by a woman. How can I protest? How can I not come off like an asshole for pointing such a thing out? There's no right answer, so go ahead and say it. Let the chips fall where they may. That's how I sleep well at night.
Yes, and you can absolutely tell they are implented in swing. Dont get me wrong, I use these IDEs everyday because they are extremely powerful and good for understanding large codebases, but the UI is NOT their main selling point, sorry. Swing gets the job done, nothing more.
It is absolutely possible to build a device that no only is secure but also lets you--the owner of the device--actually run anything you--again, the owner of the device--want to run; as it stands, the device is secure despite you, by saying that only Apple--who is actually the owner of your device, which they have effectively only lent to you and which they heavily restrict your usage of--can decide what can and can't run on your device... to me this is like saying "my apartment is secure because I am not trusted with a key: in order to get in, I have to call Apple and give them my password, and they open the door"... honestly, that seems a lot less secure to me than "I have the key".
I'm astonished this happened without government funding :-)
If it's a job I wanted, I'd absolutely rather have the job than get a date.
It is a significant number. For example in Hardvard campus 20% of the allegations were determined to be false[0]; but this is a controversial subject and the numbers all over the place[1] from state to state and even more from country to country but overall most quote numbers that are not an insignificant number.

I notice this as well. I think a lot of it comes down to modern society being so complex that most people are unwilling or unable to do anything "extra" like that, at least not regularly. Not only that, but companies and governments are so complex that they resort to bureaucracy as a way to attempt to make things predictable.

Every action people take is driven by such a complex web of incentives these days, that risk-aversion is often seen as the pragmatic option.

Having said that, I will say that I am often pleasantly surprised by how thoughtful and considerate people can be to each other in general. But I do think that risk-averse "fuck you" treatment is on the rise, especially when dealing with people at work being asked to make difficult decisions. Risk aversion is corporate policy.
The ones who aren't openly hostile already have the notion of disruption in development. This summary is, for lack of a better term, a day late and a dollar short.

> "If our process hasn't worked for you, you didn't want it to work enough" is unfalsifiable and can be used to defend any sort of quackery.

Notably, it is routinely used to defend 12-step programs. The standard set of slogans includes the phrase "it works if you work it" (which I've more recently seen applied to cognitive-behavioral therapy).
Came here to say this. Probably most of the insurance companies were mutuals prior to demutualization.

Probably the biggest consumer-owned business we have today would be Vanguard, when it comes to investment funds, but for a variety of reasons most industries have shifted to the corporate model.

I still don't get the companies that cannot take the lessons of Smalltalk vendors. It's no accident Borland could sell product and Smalltalk vendors died off with developer and deployment fees.

I still think there is a place for paid tools, but more JetBrain / old Borland then ParcPlace.

Mistakes? A dynamic language with fast protyping and a vibrant community helped them build a successful business. Sounds like a lesson of success to me.

Had they started building it in C++ or Haskell they might still be building it with 0 customers onboard while some other company which used Python would be dominating the market.
Their Blueprint React component library is also quite nice:

Certainly. But what does justice look like here?

If nobody knows or nobody's willing to venture a guess, then we should at least acknowledge that complete social ostracism is a massive penalty. Are you sure the punishment fits the crime? It seems more likely that there's a reasonable middle ground, but maybe someone has a persuasive argument to the contrary.
Dunno if creepy is the right word, but I cringed the entire way past the first couple paragraphs.
(Assuming no supervisory relationship or other power imbalance,)

Make an introduction. Make your mild/budding interest in them clear enough. Ask them to do something that's clearly not work with you.

"Hey, want to get coffee sometime this weekend?"

You'll find out if there's preliminary interest or not. If they're interested but busy, they'll figure out how to make that distinction clear. If "sorry; I'm busy" is the entire answer, just assume they're not interested. You get one "free" chance here; make it fairly clear that you're interested; don't invite them out for a "team dinner" and then arrange for the rest of the team to not show up or other chicanery.
Just get a job! Brilliant! Why don't all these poor people think of that?
"Dear diary. I have just sent the 537th messenger confirming that we are attacking together tomorrow morning at 9. I'm just waiting on confirmation."

You have that confirmation of agreement in the third round of messages. Receipt of the fourth message proves that both sides have knowledge and have agreed, aware of the other's intent. That's the message you have to prove has arrived for surety. Once you've done enough messages to prove message #4, you're good to go.
“The only persons qualified to analyze this paper are in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration”

What? That's an incredibly dangerous position for a scientist of any stripe to take.

Many commenters are missing two big advantages of this system. (1) This is a micro-grid. "Microgrids minimise the amount of energy lost through transmission; as an estimated 5% of electricity created in the US is lost in transit, microgrids provide an efficient alternative. The Brooklyn microgrid also economically benefits those who have installed solar panels." http://www.power-technology.com/features/featurethe-brooklyn...

(2) The market is peer-to-peer, so prices for buying and selling aren't dictated by a monopoly and monopsony power which could ripoff both the regular homeowners and solar-panel owners, but rather a competitive market.

(3) The grid is p2p and thus is disaster-resilient. Think back to Hurricane Sandy and the 2003 NY State blackout.
> Even if they don't want to comply, they might feel obligated to do so, unless you somehow manage to make very clear that there won't be any repercussions whichever way they decide.

Even if you "make very clear there won't be any repercussions" it's wrong. Why the hell should the other person trust that you'll be able to keep your feelings separate from your professional judgment when you've had the bad sense to make things awkward in the first place? It's pissing in the pool. It's antisocial and unnecessary.
Either the user controls the program or the program controls the user. It's time already for a truly FOSS phone (and no, android doesn't cut it... lineage/replicant barely do). I shouldn't have to use some strange third party questionable methods to get root on my fucking device.
Vue has one-way binding. Children can't force a parent to change state, only suggest through events.
In terms of hiring, I think you're right.

But I really resent this sort of mentality. It causes a lot of work trying to 'upgrade' your tech stack when you'd get more benefit from fixing your architecture, refactoring, building new features, fixing bugs etc. I'd rather work on improving software in meaningful ways and make the company more money.
Many people drive drunk and don't run anyone over. That doesn't mean driving drunk should be socially accepted.

Okay...
I don't know... there are such things as facts.

In 2014, "Vulnerable Populations" made up 80% of the poor in the USA. That essentially means children and the elderly.
On top of that, it's like another 7% of people that are in poverty that are fully employed!

That's really going out on the limb though...

But you're right. Moreover I noticed obsession with a particular language is often a hallmark of a junior engineer or a recent grad. This this idea of "If you don't use Go/Node.js/etc you'll totally fail".
At this point, it make senses for someone to write a TypeScript definition to Flow definition converter. Given how similar the languages are, I feel like you might even get away with using hacky Regex-based transformation instead of using ASTs for a lot of libraries.

I never did understand why Facebook and Microsoft ended up competing on this front.
I was careful not to use any gendered expressions after the first paragraph, which I collaged from downandout's comment. It was probably too subtle, so thank you for making it explicit.
Guys will do a lot for a woman they're interested in. If they make a move, it ruins the advantage of being a potential prospect and forces her to feign interest to protect her advantage or fold and risk offending the guy and/or go forward without the carrot of that maybe relationship. I think child-like women would interpret it as just unfair, but you can also see that they have a dual advantage-disadvantage that's more complex than simple oppression. You can get meetings more easily, but you have to rebuff guys who just show up to see you as opposed to coming out to invest or partner with you.
I wouldnt have any issues with that honestly. We are humans not machines. We say things sometimes that get interpreted as something its not. The comment Mclure made was stupid. But calling it sexism or herrasment as if its some systemic thing seems a tad extreme too.
Your description of cut-through switching isn't quite correct.

If the packet is corrupted, there is no need for the switch to intentionally break the CRC, since the only way it knew the packet was corrupted in the first place was the broken CRC. Modifying the existing, broken CRC, would create a small chance of accidentally "fixing" the corrupted packet, whereas just continuing to forward it would ensure that a later (store-and-forward) switch, or the end-host would detect the broken CRC and discard the packet.
It all boils down to what they subtract. It is said that they subtract the wave signal. Is this signal known for sure or very predictable ? It also depends on how they subtract it.
Is it in the fequency domain or the space doman ? I didn't read the arXiv article and don't plan too. Just commenting and asking.
Hacker News buys into Palantir.

> go for

Like I said, how?

> that's why you primarily go for drug lords

Yes. By going after their assets. What happens when you can neither identify nor seize their assets? You can't even identify the alleged perpetrators.

> Regarding the prosecution: the US has extradition agreements with a lot of countries

And if you don't even know the names of the people who own a crypto, how much they own, let alone what country they live in? These things are stateless. There is no coordination between countries because there's no way to even identify where the coordination would occur.

> It's also pretty easy to freeze assets as soon as they are converted to fiat

And if you can transfer from any crypto to any crypto any time you like? That facility already exists with shapeshift, and when atomic swaps become available, that genie is never going to get put back in a bottle. You mean freeze ALL cryptos? How do you think you could even attempt that, let alone achieve it. You think that just because it's the US government they can make something like this 'just happen'? It's like stating "US Dollars are to no more be used for purchasing drugs!". Great statement. A little bit lacking in the enforcement category.

> and some regulation forcing companies to open up is good.

These aren't companies. You can't force them to do anything.

> Even if it's a "logical progression", you got it backwards.

I don't think you've actually thought this through. Every one of your suggestions is a non-answer that is trivial to circumvent even if it was possible to build something to circumvent in the first place. Your opinion seems be born out of a belief that just because it is the US government they can do anything. But there isn't even a suggestion as to how any of this 'control' could be asserted, let alone achieved.
I've yet to find a good solution to this increasingly more prevelant sentiment in the current highly-specialized niche type of scientific advancement. I always looked up to the autodidacts of history and wanted to emulate them, but all I hear is "that's impossible these days".
I'm not seeing the problem you're describing on my device. I've got a 10.5" iPad Pro with the latest version of iOS 10. Safari page text, the text field I'm typing into, the search field on springboard, notes, and a random third-party app all render the same glyphs; the only differences are minor things like font size and weight.

> Swift's method declaration/call syntax that looks unlike anything else (except maybe Objective-C)?

Well, Smalltalk actually, and Swift did a poor job of keeping it. Why everything has to look like C or Pascal is a mystery.

Swift makes Objective-C method calls like C with extra punctuation and people add classes to JavaScript. I wish Swift had at least respected that if anything just to cut down on punctuation.
- Reparations to all he harmed directly.

- Further reparations to groups representing those similarly situated.

- Meaningful engagement with mental health professionals to attempt to work on the source of the problem.

- Less defensive, less self-promotional apologies.

These four are the bare minimum. Until he has done each of these, he's receiving a failing grade from me.
Shameless plug: a "Silhouette" (minimap) generator for command line: https://github.com/dpc/text-minimap
I have friends who grew up in situations like that. Nowadays, they are doing ok. Solidly lower-middle-class, but considering where they came from, that's a huge deal.

But even with these success stories, I think, nobody should have been in the situation they were in to begin with. No 16 year old should have to pick up a second job so they can pay their parents rent. Nobody should have to deal with a drug addicted parent that has no clinical route to sobriety. Nobody should have to take on their parents massive debt because their single mother got breast cancer in her early 40's.

If you want to blame people who make bad choices, fine. But at least try and remember the people in their orbit who are solid people who could really use some help dealing with a situation they are in by absolutely no fault of their own.
There are many things you can do.

Following is something I want to do for my business website but don't have time for it.

Using node (API) and firebase database capture new signup name, IP and IP to Geo and store it in Firebase. Eg
{
name:'john Smith',
ip:'127.0.0.1',
Latitude:123.1233,
Longitude:123.123,
Country:'USA',
City:'Los Angeles',
State:'California',
Date: epoch
}

Next create a js file to include in any page which would get data (from nodejs API) sorted by latest first and show new signup as notification pop-up one by one.

Good luck!
Damn. I really hope to be this reflective in times when I realize I've been wrong or done wrong. We fetishize people who strive for external greatness, but what's much harder is figuring out how to work on being better people. We're quick to forgive the clear failings of other people, because it also lets us excuse ourselves.
Study after study has proven that a society that cares for its members is an order of magnitude better off for it. And yet, we always fall back on this moral argument that people failures are 100% their fault, and we have no obligation to do anything about it.

It's getting exhausting.

I have one question, will the new NYPD in-house developers be union or not?

It'd be interesting if they were union just to see how that works, for better or for worse.
Part of poor character is picking on people from a position of power, when they have something you want. Part of poor character is putting your urges ahead of your empathy.
Thanks for being honest. Currently the west is pretty much attempting to eliminate gender. The problem is, humans are biologically not much different than they were 1000 years ago. So while there are these high ideals about a basically gender neutral society, the reality is that it does not, and in fact cannot exist. Currently we are in a weird time in history where people do not understand that there is a very good reason why every single advanced species has 2 genders. If it was not incredibly helpful to have 2 distinct genders, why would it be so prevalent in nature? Having two genders is a wonderful thing, and leads to incredible efficiency through separation of labor. Unfortunately I get downvoted for stating the obvious here on hacker news. However, look at the stats, and you will find that feminism has lead to more money and power for women, but much less happiness for both men and women. You are a great example. You would be happier if you could just focus on code instead of thinking about women. But no, we just have to have gender integration, with women who try to make themselves look sexy every day, then complain if somebody is attacted to them. Neither you nor them are happy about the situation. But "society" is. Hopefully one day people will wake up. But I doubt it will happen soon.
it's a terrible claim. You can't claim that for all of the subdisciplines in the massive LIGO project, every single field is covered by the 'topmost expert'. Especially for a criticism about signal processing - there are so many adjacent or even distant scientific fields that are likely to have individuals with superior 'expertise', in the same class of algorithms used for the signal processing.

The claim is that only the people working in the project are qualified to criticize; that's almost the opposite. People who are working on the project are more often than not the LEAST qualified to criticize, because they're heads down in the weeds and have too much invested in the particular details and experimental choices that were made.

Moreover, for LIGO specifically, not every scientist is motivated to work for a high-risk, long-time-till-result endeavor. In fact, I'd suspect the people most likely to approach things with the right critical mindset are antiselected from working on the project.

There we go again. You can find it every where. The human tendency to underestimate how much we don't understand , and how much others don't understand. Ahh, and how fast everyone forgot it.
Do you think it's enjoyable to be in the public eye for telling on someone? Surely you're aware that people who blow the whistle are often blackballed.
I've tried walking up to a girl, smiling, and introducing myself with "hi!". Her response: "don't ever talk to me you creep!"

What you're suggesting is no guarantee that you won't come across as creepy. If you haven't actually extensively tested your suggested approach it's kind of harmful to go around giving them as advice
I think the end of the sentence is interesting as well...
", said Robert Wagoner, a theoretical physicist at Stanford University who is not affiliated with LIGO. “They are the only ones who have had access to the raw data.”

That kind of gives the lie to the conspiracy that many would like to believe... And before you go demanding that they release the raw data (in addition to the processed data), I hope you are aware of how many disk drives you're going to need to fit into that station wagon.
