Thanks for your helpful answer.

Does that mean that I should not be doing any programming during my stay in the US ? I am the only software developer working on the product, so that may be a little inconvenient for us.
Re playing Chrono Trigger this weekend. The "fast-forward" button and instant saves real make it a fun experience for the story without the chores of the grinding.
I'm in the apparent minority of people who thought "The Hurt Locker" was an awful movie.
> In the past, you could just vocalise your opinion, and it would not survive many hops in the real-world social network.

In the past, "vocalizing your opinion" meant debating friends over drinks, the difference today is that every person with an opinion deliberately leverages modern technology to broadcast that opinion to as many people as possible, and the more that receive it, the better. Naturally, people who disagree will respond... the system is working as intended.
True, but that's not a gender issue per se. Women-only programming groups are based on the theory that women are not being well served by co-ed programming groups, as a combination of socially enforced gender roles plus an understandable discomfort at being the only woman in a room. All male groups are generally frowned upon because there's no reason to think the average male would be prevented from participating in a technically co-ed but heavily male group.

I suspect men-only clubs for traditionally female dominated fields, something like an all male kindergarten teacher group, would be broadly accepted as reasonable.
Maybe I'm missing part of the thread, but who is attacking you?

This is a discussion forum and people are discussing the opinions you shared... because that's what happens on discussion forums.

Do you expect to only receive praise and agreement?
It's fairly vague (and I'm ok with that), just as my use of "right" in another post is. I'm going to continue using it even if it generates a silly over-reaction by some people on the left and right.

There's an aggressive coalition on the left that now likes to use labels as a control vector for stopping free speech (any speech they disagree with in fact). The major social media platforms for example have all taken up the cause and are beginning to shut down free speech (it'll get far worse yet, it'll become hyper restrictive), and nations such as Germany are doing the same.
I can 100% vouch for Peter and his team. They got me my EB1A which led to my green card. Thanks Peter!
Right. Reddit definitely doesn't favour quality.
You are misunderstanding the quote. She's not saying that she wants there to always be nine female members of the SC like it had been with men for so long - rather, the proof of true equality would be when that happened by chance at some point (not sustained), and it wasn't a big deal. That's true equality when it comes to randomness - occasionally it'll be all one gender. If the answer is "half", then that could just be some level of intentional selection of women to reach a quota, which isn't equality.

Of course, as with anything, there are a very small number of people who call themselves feminists who are extremists who believe in sexism against men. That is a vanishingly small group, however, and mainstream feminism, even the more fringe wings, want equality, not revenge.

Your claim is just misrepresenting the ideology.
I think it's a great rule but it appears that the current administration won't support it unfortunately so I would look at other options.
NASA's Kilopower design uses enriched uranium fuel, and with such a small reactor it won't be much uranium.

Repairability and longevity are not the same thing. Sure if you repair something it last longer by definition. However you can design something that is not repairable that still will last a long time.

I once work on an embedded computer where we decided that the user would wear out one USB port before it would reach our longevity goals. We put two USB ports on it to get over that limit. The alternative was a maintenance schedule to replace the port. Either meat our longevity goals, but only one was also repairable.

That was a totally different China. Since then there was the communist cultural revolution and then "capitalism with Chinese characteristics" which is where China is currently.
First of all, they are currently 3 women at the supreme court.

But ideally, if equal, shouldn't the court, if we assume both gender are equal, split 50:50?

If you are advocating for opportunity equality, that is fine with me. But in reality, a lot of companies, as inspected by the media, seems like to hail a 50:50 gender split goal. Those are not compatible with each other.
That's pretty much what I did, modulo the physiotherapist. I would lift, get punished for it with brutal back pain, wait for a few days for it to subside, then do it again. I was free of back pain within a month.
My point is that if you create the alternative computer club. You're never going to solve the root issue. You're just going to create 2 groups, with their own mentality, fights over the same audience, fights over resources, and conflict between both groups.

When they're self-isolating groups, they stop integration.

> "only boys like computers"

That's a self-limiting belief that can only be fixed by the person who believes it. Telling the person who believes it is not going to work. They'll always have doubt.

If it's done by members of that group then the leadership should be made aware of that and fix it.

Not sure how you jumped to this extreme:

> It's like expecting slavery to end by saying black people can be slave owners or own themselves. If you don't recongnise the barrier to entry and integration, then sure, you can paint these groups as negative, but that's just missing the point.

My point was, the individual has to address their own beliefs and figure out how to achieve the goal they want. Do it in a dishonest way, society won't stand for that (In the long term, it's effective in the short term) Do it in an honest way, people will reward you for that. (Eventually)
I somehow find the dependency management system of Polymer 2 (loading script tags in a component), is going back to the old school ways/days. There is no dependency isolation, modules are loaded to the Global... v.s. ES6 imports via webpack, for example. Granted, module imports are not browser ready yet. Guess we'll just have to live with it for now.

Happy for someone to point out a better way for Polymer 2 dependency management that feels... less dirty.
She's right. We need to find ways to be less implicitly exclusionary. It is vastly more effective than being explicitly inclusionary, which has all the problems she is decrying.

I've heard that this is a great game, but I've never played it.

From the Wikipedia page [1]:

> Stardew Valley was created by American indie game designer Eric Barone, under the alias of ConcernedApe. In 2011, Barone had graduated from the University of Washington Tacoma with a computer science degree, but had not been able to get a job in the industry, instead working as an usher at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle.

What an impressive accomplishment for a solo programmer!

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardew_Valley
The original mandate of X3J11 was to “codify common existing practice”. The published Rationale goes on to describe a number of relevant criteria, including

• Existing code is important, existing implementations are not.

• Avoid “quiet changes.”

• Trust the programmer.

• Keep the language small and simple.

• Make it fast, even if it is not guaranteed to be portable.

In pre-ANSI C, and C89 C interpreted in line with the Rationale, if you wrote ‘+’, the expectation was that you'd get the target machine's ‘add’ instruction, no more and no less. It might overflow, it might not; it might crash or hang your machine on overflow or trap values — but that is all your problem, not the language's or compiler's. The ANSI invention of ‘undefined behaviour’ can be considered a good-faith attempt to codify things like this, but botching it was one of the two great failures of C89.

I worked on a commercial compiler at the time, and I'm confident no one thought of C89 as a license to screw the customer.
> to imply that it couldn't be done is asinine

That isn't called for. Clearly you disagree, which is fine, but there's no need for a personal attack.

Here's what happened with a laptop bomb that was placed against the hull on a Somali flight: http://i2.cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/160203180228-plane-... As it happens, it only killed the bomber.
I remember quite some time ago, before Social networks. Before blogs. Before all of what we think of the WWW.

We were still in Web 1.0 , with email, usenet, IRC, and other then-essential services. Dial-up was the way online. And when people talked with each other, we were told to not release who we are. Be guarded in your real-identity.

And that lead to user1 talks with user2. I didn't know if user2 was white, black, asian, hispanic, native, male, female, transgender, gay, asexual, or what. I only knew from the content of the text we traded in communication. There was enough bandwidth for pictures, but didnt. Webcams were bad and expensive. Scanners were hard to come by. And there was no impetus to link a pic to a person's text.

Now, it's "Real Name Policy". Facebook will encourage friends to rat your lying profile to catch you. Google will do similar, or datamine your real content. Everyone wants a picture for your profile.

What used to be "person talks to person", is now "Person with forced specific identity talks to person with forced specific identity". And it certainly doesn't feel better than before. It feels strictly worse, bringing identity politics in with it.

I want the old days back.
Yep. I know a lot of women in oil and gas and in engineering roles they tend to do just fine--though the closer you get to the fields the more of a boy's club it becomes (because redneck wildcatters).
Irrational because a uranium fission reactor contains very little radioactivity before you start running it.
>> Motor vehicles are a big cause of death in many countries.

Yep, that is true. On the other hand there are also many laws that try to mitigate the risk of accidents.[] I think the mobility of motor vehicles is a benefit, that outweighs the risk of accidents. I doubt we could manage the logistics of supplying big cities with bikes, trains and horses alone.

[]: That does not solve the problem, that cars are dangerous machinery and some people just shouldn't handle them (despite a drivers license).
From the photos it looks like this thing runs on tracks. OK, this concept was invented a century ago in cities like Chicago, it's called an Elevated Train.
You're changing your plan here. Maybe you could at least concede that the issue of UB is difficult and is not going to be solved by saying "why don't they just" on HN?
Make up your own mind. Be a human. With a spine. And your own opinion. People might not like it, but at least you'll be you.
I don't get the aggressive tone here?

I think the ban is stupid, but they actually have had significant intelligence that (a) they have stolen scanning equipment they are using in the development of explosives so they can avoid detection and (b) they have developed newer laptop bombs that are more dangerous and harder to detect. It took me literally 30 seconds on Google to find an article detailing it with links: http://heavy.com/news/2017/05/isis-laptop-bomb-threat-planes...
Then you get into the whole how do you design a better mousetrap problem. Floors get dirty. Roads get dirty. Car bottoms get dirty. Electrical contacts like to be clean. When they are not they get hot, carbonize, and then enter a chain reaction until it fails or catches fire.

Whatever solution you can conceive is going to be too expensive simply because you have to protect a high voltage/high amperage connection from the elements.
But is that true? Since real estate and renting costs have increased over 400% in some big cities, do cheaper goods offset that big slice of disposable income which pays for that? Is there some overall statistic done to include all these costs and calculate whether purchasing power has really gone up?
I'm going to buy a car with a bed, and wake up 1000 miles away for weekend vacations :)
> But what's the incentive for the manufacturers?

Possibly reducing the companies' environmental footprint on the world.

Instead of cheap devices being scrapped every two years and sent to the landfill, consumers could instead hold on to the companies' products for much much longer. If products have comparatively more time and quality parts, the cost will indeed go up--both for manufacturing and retail price.

My grandmother had the same bread mixer the whole time I was growing up. And I know she had it long before I was born. It was built to last and she took care of it. My mother, on the other hand, went through at least six different plastic, Made in China bread mixers over the course of my childhood.

Where's the corporate responsibility for all the waste that is generated by crappy products?

If you were KitchenAid or another brand, wouldn't you want to set yourself apart from the others as a company who cares about the environment by making products that will last for years to come and acknowledging that in advertising? Products that can also be repaired if there is an issue, as opposed to chucked aside for a new one because of their lack of value?

I'd consider such a company the "Whole Foods" of appliances. Citizens who share similar conservation values will likely pay more for that product, just as those who opt for solar/wind energy over coal.
Completely agree with what Maria said. I also cringe at the "WomanInTech" tag. I would like to be noticed for my engineering skills rather than because I happen to be female.

I definitely want to see more women in technology.
There are social pressures because of which girls move away from STEM. We need to encourage more 11-12-year-old girls to try out science. Both men and women in tech can help make that happen.

However, being noticed because of your color of skin or gender and not because of your ability is demeaning.
Also worth checking out is the free web game BOX-256 where you use a toy assembly language to draw stuff: http://box-256.com/
These could turn much like how trains turn, they are simply stuck following the same road. Granted, they can't do a sharp turn with cars under them.
I respectfully disagree. You do not need a decentralized, social protocol to build a smart contract or self-executing application platform. A smart contract is simply an agreement between parties, written in codes and enforced by a third-party. In the case of Ethereum, it is enforced by cryptography, nodes independently executing codes and validating the results. This is great but hard to scale or build certain kind of applications. Ethereum introduced decentralized smart contracts, but it does not mean smart contracts need to be executed and secured decentrally.

If a platform can provide multi-signature environment, security and the ability to enforce and execute codes, it is a smart contract platform.

Thank you for checking us out :-)
The definition of feminism is "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes" - that is fundamentally compatible with equality. You can claim that's not what feminism today is working towards, but that's simply untrue. Feminism hasn't changed to some kind of anti-male conspiracy, despite the ability for people on the internet to find stupid troll posts or the odd extremist saying "all men should be slaves"!
I'd only recommend HRM for people who haven't touched assembly before. For those that have, it is a bit of a waste of time and not very challenging...I kept hoping the problems would be harder, and maybe something that you wouldn't do in an introductory college course.

TIS and Shenzhen I/O on the other hand have unique challenges and are well worth your time investment for help thinking outside of the box. Many different ways to solve the problems, unlike HRM where there is basically one obvious speed and one obvious size solution.
While I mostly agree with you I recently had a corrupted keychain that I was trying to fix. In the process I was transferring items from one keychain to another and had 100+ dialogs pop up asking me to enter my password to allow each individual item. Once started, there was no way to cancel the dialogs easily, no way to bulk authenticate, no way to see/sort the windows and no way to associate any particular dialog with any particular to know where I was in the process if I did decide to abort and start again. Fun times.

Granted this was an edge case and is not the norm. It was still a pretty horrid UX.
It's impossible to assess chances in the abstract but from the time of filing an O-1 petition with USCIS until the issuance of the O-1 visa by a Consulate can be as little as 4 weeks (assuming no issues with the petition). The preparation time is hard to say but typically (depending on the facts of course) it is can be as little as 4 weeks and as much as 12 weeks.

It says housing inflation was around 50-60% but for example in London it has been 400% so this can be very dependent on where you live.
I'm not griping about the stupid questions. The occasional stupid question is forgivable. Everyone asks stupid questions sometimes. But the proper response to being called out for asking a stupid question is, "Wow, you're right, that was a stupid question, sorry about that." Not, "Hey, that wasn't very nice!"

HN is a site dedicated, ultimately, to high-tech entrepreneurship. In the startup world, if you don't do your homework, or worse, if you get offended when someone calls you out for not doing your homework, even if they do it undiplomatically, even if they level actual personal attacks at you, you will lose, and your competition will happily dance on your grave.

Uhh, perhaps I'm not parsing your claim correctly, but that warning most certainly does exist in gcc.

$ gcc -Wall test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:6:5: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]

Parentheses here would be superfluous, but would perhaps confirm you really intended to assign (i.e. used = instead of ==).
What's more, a lot of the materials science and metalworking "lessons learned" (particularly when it comes to working with aluminum) at SpaceX are available to Tesla.
> Maybe I'm missing part of the thread, but who is attacking you?

I'm not being attacked on HN / in this thread. HN tends to be about 10x more civil than public social media.

I can't post any of what I said on here - none of which was very inflammatory - without practically enraging dozens of my Democrat/liberal/left-oriented (is there a PC term for that?) friends on eg Facebook. These are good people I'm talking about, and they now lose their minds at the drop of a hat on discussing these topics (post Trump, it has all gone into another gear). And if this conversation were being held on Twitter, I'd be getting death threats (or something close to it; maybe I'd just get called horrible names and proclaimed as being a racist Trump supporter etc) by now for not specifically being in favor of feminism / illegal immigration (as two examples).

It's not agreement I seek, I don't need it. I can't voice opinions about these subjects on public social media, as myself, without people being enraged about the discussion (and or possibly worse, people taking what I say out of context, or failing to understand what I'm arguing (either of their own fault or mine) etc), that response is a business risk that I can't tolerate.
As a general rule, there's no issue with accepting a job offer or even receiving a signing bonus but you can't work until you receive your EAD.
This is the real question.
Hi, currently (and for the forseeable future) I'm a 29 year old CTO at a VC backed Startup with 40 employees in Germany, I've had this position now for nearly two years, before (and on paper now in parallel to) that I've been managing director of a web-development agency for 3 years. I've had several software dev positions before that while working on starting my own companies, a process which made me drop out of university rather early, so I've never finished my degree. I have a wife and child (of 8 months now).

What are my chances of getting a US Visa based solely on work experience without a university degree?

I was hoping it would let me automate a few tasks with a "user" flow (i.e. enter details, click, click). With e.g. curl or python I didn't even get through the login screens because they seem to require some special dealing with cookies, request/response cookies, smfd, itc, id_ado, _ip_xat and so on.

Basically auth on websites seems to require a whole bunch of stuff and I just started looking at simpler forms of automation instead. Still not sure which one I'll continue looking into.
