I cannot agree more with you! Besides, if men think they are better in tech, why do I see so much rubbish code produced by them?

Imao it's just men's ego's, sexism and stupidity that creates this discrimination. It's abject and should change, the sooner the better! (I'm not female btw)

I know this comment will probably ensure I get on some kind of "list", but you don't need the laptop itself to be the fuel. It could be an accelerant or fuse, packed between fuel in a large bag, and multiple bags sent.

Yes, putting laptops in the hold it is an improvement, assuming your attack vector is intentionally placed small explosives. Randomly placed large explosives, or large explosives placed intentionally by an insider, might be as effective or more so. But I know jack shit about the design of airplanes so I have no idea if this is the case.

> My wife and I have discussed this multiple times before, and feel the exact same way. All she wants is regular inclusion!

Heck, I know people who just want acknowledgement of their existence. The "other" category is not a great place to be. That also ignores when institutions divert resources away that were given to the institution to help the forgotten.
I love that even though it's taken you a while to see from somebody else's point of view you took the time to share this. Especially "I couldn't imagine being inundated with this stuff on a daily basis".

Thanks.
I have a simple rule. If you're already seriously contemplating leaving, then it's time to leave. Because typically, it's only going to get worse from there.

Chris Dixon once posted something along the lines of this: "If you think you're going to fire someone six months from now, you should fire them now."

I believe that if you think things will get worse 6 months from now, then leave now.
We detached this from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14702885 and marked it off-topic.

Generic ideological tangents lead to flamewars and are so low in information that they're off-topic even when they sound on-topic. For example, you guys have started arguing about "feminism" without the slightest reason to believe you mean the same thing by it. You'd think the triviality of such a disagreement would lower the stakes, but in fact the opposite happens: we each fill in the blank slate with our own demons and everybody's buttons get pushed. The way out of this is to have something more substantive to talk about.

(That's not to say your feelings aren't valid, of course they are, and so are the feelings that flare up in response. The problem is that communication can't take place this way, and we don't want battle here.)

As for tech that we are using,

The main app uses php. But lately we've been breaking apart the app into micro services which are a combination of node js, golang, and Python/flask apps. We run it all on kubernetes. Meanwhile the front end has been transitioning towards being more react based :)

I don't see their preferences as necessarily conflicting from your point of view. Some people of various groups want the ability to have events of their own, and others want to be included in non-restrictive coding events. Allow/encourage both. Don't fight back against "Women Who Code" events, and be welcoming and polite to women at non-restrictive coding events. You don't need to have a stance on which is better, and as long as you don't try to have a white or men exclusive event I don't see you having any trouble.

It's not just Gtk. At $WORK, we have a lot of user space daemons where everything boils down to GLib, and GIO for all IPC.

We do our own hardware and kernel development (upstream kernel + .ko's for our stuff) and that's good code. Then we have the daemons in userland providing interfaces to ioctl's and cdevs, with some house keeping and interfaces for DBus and HTTP APIs.

All the userland stuff just vomits GLib-CRITICAL messages. No one bothers to check for them because everything is running as daemons with stderr redirected to /dev/null...

And $WORK is one of the better places I've worked at. I am certain that if those assertions would have been fatal, they would have been fixed a long time ago.

So the only place you post opinions is where you're protected by anonymity? That's a rough way to live. Have you considered that if you don't feel open enough to speak your opinions in public, maybe they should be challenged?

I disagree with your position on feminism, as it is a blanket statement which you would not want applied to yourself in an opposite position.

As for the left's beliefs on illegal immigration, again, blanket statement. I'm a pretty far leftist, but I agree that unfettered immigration isn't an ideal state. Where we may diverge is asserting causation to where we are today. We spent decades looking the other way as more and more people were crossing our borders because we had an economic benefit to do so — cheap labor. There were jobs we didn't want to pay citizens to do (farming, manual labor, home labor, etc.), and there were thousands of people willing to do them under the table because it was a better offer than they got at home.

We could have curbed this issue as it happened by removing the incentive. We could have penalized homes and businesses hiring undocumented labor. We could have enforced tax codes on all of the under the table money changing hands. We allowed entire industries to become dependent on unlawful cheap taxed labor. Today, we can't stop. Georgia tried to enforce above the board labor for one season and lost a harvest (https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2012/05/17/the-law-of-...). Cutting undocumented labor today would have disastrous consequences to our economy.

So, after decades of benefitting our economy, keeping food, hotels, restaurants, and numerous other service industries more affordable, we decide to start deporting? Hilarious. For all the talk of the "send them back" crowd, I don't think anyone is really thinking through what it means.

So yeah, I agree, we need to control illegal immigration. We also need to be realistic on the stupid situation we've created for ourselves by wanting cheap stuff.
That graphic is US centric.
I mean, how nice for you? This article seems to be very much about how there isn't a problem for people like the OP, because people who don't feel they benefit from all-women's tech groups are perfectly free not to go to them.

I attend both all-women(/trans/femme) tech meetups and broader meetups. I get different benefits from each. I don't think anyone advocates for a world in which women in tech don't ever have to associate with anyone else, and most of us work in male-dominated spaces to start with, so it seems a little nonsensical to posit some sort of hyper-separation/man-avoidance or victimization in woman-run groups (many of whom run events that are not woman-only as well).

I find it productive to have spaces where the express goal is to uplift women in tech and to center issues in tech specific to women. The support and comfort level in these groups is often fantastic.

When men at other meetups stop asking questions like "oh, a women's python group? Can I come? I'm into that kind of woman" then let's talk about how we are in some sort of a world where tech groups for women are somehow counterproductive.
As a fresh US immigrant from the middle of Europe yet visually passing as an average white man, I haven't even shared the style of upbringing that people assume I did, and yet I lean closer to the opinion expressed above because I fear that a determined person with an agenda can find a way to use my story or opinions to illustrate their point and paint me and broad classes of people as problematic in the process.

I empathize with those who've also turned to self-censorship for fear of being branded as part of a the problem. I want to have the tough conversations, but not at the expense of being made a public example for holding opinions that are neither hateful nor malicious, just colored by my origins and journey through life: the exact same factors that others advocate taking into account.

The whole thing is really unfortunate: people holding moderate (and in many ways, mainstream) opinions are withdrawing from the public discourse, which I don't believe is conducive to satisfactory progress.

Much of that can be mitigated in product design. The amount of labor needed to replace something is a function of the extent to which being serviceable is a design goal.
I'm talking in terms of moral rights - which not necessarily everyone will agree on - but there are some generally accepted ones. For example, murder would violate your neighbors right to life.

Denying your neighbor the ability to speak out against your opinions violates their right to free speech. If you don't like it, argue back.
Except that is completely different. If you throw a protest, other people have a right to counter-protest.
"Loose Lips Sink Ships"

In other words: this sort of logic is by no means unprecedented in American history, for the simple reason that gathering information from the general public of a nation is a basic and common element of espionage against that nation. Whether or not such espionage is actually useful is a different story, but especially in this day and age of ubiquitous near-instantaneous and effectively-permanent public (or at least less-than-private) communication, there's every reason to believe that there are "enemy spies" among the general population, and therefore that the less information the general population receives, the less information the enemy can gather (at least through that particular avenue).

I feel that this current instance of information-concealment is excessive, but it's not unreasonable to suspect that the likes of ISIS are collecting information from the American public, and thus not unreasonable to want to limit the information going out to the public in order to prevent hostile agents from obtaining that information.
I guess the ideal would be the possibility to see both.

A friend was turned down for a B-1 visa, as they said that she did not provide enough evidence that she was settled in Budapest. She applied under B-1 as she was attending a 3 day conference inside a 3 week holiday.

She is from an ex-soviet state but was working for a major US investment bank at the time as a programer. She earns way above the local salary, but does rent an apartment, rather than own one. She was only 23 at the time.

What should she do next she time she applies? Or is it even worth her applying again?

> Your response is conceptually exactly why I no longer post opinions as myself on social media now.

That's not a free-speech problem. In a discussion about free-speech, you broadcasted your particular personal opinions regarding notoriously controversial topics and castigate "the left" as anti-freespeech, and then when someone responds to you with a civil disagreement, you exclaim that is what's killing free speech. This is how free-speech works, it means that people can respond freely to the statements you made freely, where is the problem?

Aren't dependent types able to express any statement formalizable in predicate logic? This should include most things you might want to say about the correctness of non-evil programs. I think the real problem with them is that type-checking itself becomes undecidable, so you get the additional problem of proving that your program is indeed correctly typed.
The reason I ask is that it seems like you might be using a circular definition here. You say "the left likes to use labels to stop free speech", but have you just defined "the left" in your head to mean "anyone who uses labels to stop free speech"?

I do think using such vague terms in general is at best useless, but it's especially pointless when you redefine labels to fit whatever you're trying to argue against.
A theory: Women-only groups aren’t just “Women-only”, they also exclude women with these beliefs. But this is far from obvious, so women at these group gatherings see only themselves, and it becomes an echo chamber where they believe they represent all women’s views on this subject.
This whole piece strikes me as rambling and misguided.

> “Woman in tech” is just another label I don’t need

The author agrees there is a shortage of women in tech and that it is a problem, yet how can you address a problem of underrepresented groups in tech without talking about those groups and referring to them through the use of labels? Does she really think we don't need these labels?

> I don’t want your ‘exclusively for women’ support groups

Those support groups are an attempt at solving the problem. Is it possible those groups are helpful to some women, even if not for you?

> I don’t want your special award

Same as above. This is an attempt at fixing the problem. Maybe it's not effective and kind of dumb/patronizing in some cases. Is it really where you should directing your frustrations though. No, if you care about the problem you should directing your frustrations at the root causes.

> It’s hurtful when you say “we need to solve the problem of women in tech” and “Maria, you’re a woman in tech” in the same breath…

I really did not understand the author's point here. People look to women in tech as pioneers and sources of solutions for getting more women into tech. It is quite natural to bring up women currently in tech, when thinking of ways to recruit more women into tech.

I get the author's point, that a lot of this stuff doesn't apply to her. She's comfortable in her job and doesn't need support groups or awards. It almost feels like bragging on her part, in the guise of acting annoyed at all this stuff that she doesn't want/need. Good for her, but not every woman can be like her, and shooting down attempts at solutions while offering none of her own is pretty shitty imo.

That doesn't necessarily mean it would have been a problem with middle-eastern airlines. They knew that the entire profitability of their US routes depended on well-off business travellers continuing to trust them — and unlike the TSA, they operate in a competitive market.
We are talking about CO2 emissions, not particle pollution. Since CO2 emissions are 1:1 related to fuel consumption, the fair, straightforward and easy way to discourage excess emissions is to raise taxes on fuel.

(Depending on political preference you might choose to cut other taxes with the revenues, or refund them equally per capita or reduce the deficit.)
It's almost always worth reapplying and (this is not to generate business for me or any other immigration attorney) given the denial, she should hire an immigration attorney so that she's well prepared for the interview.

Hi Peter,

my SO is going to the US to pursue her PhDs. She's on the F1 visa, so even as her spouse I would not be able to work there on F2 visa (if I understood it correctly). I am finishing my masters next June, currently working full time. Is it realistic for me to expect to get H1B as someone with only master degree and 18months full time work experience? Is the $130k/y limitation coming to force any time soon? Is EB1A something I should look more into?

I just started looking more into US visa, apologies if my questions are too naive. Thanks a lot for your input.
