In my opinion, it's just a low hanging fruit some people like to hit. It's pretty clear what the GP comment meant. Comments like that make HN worse (IMO) than the pun threads on the Juicero article earlier today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14771084).
In 40 years of connection to Catholic culture including 12 years of Catholic schooling I have never once heard any voice from the church --- including the laity --- talking about women "wanting to be men".

I did, however, spent middle and high school having the notion of gender equality in the workplace inculcated to me by priests, nuns, and lay teachers.
Possibly. But unlike standard promo codes, you could easily do this from a separate account that's not in any way linked to your developer account.
You can have a GitHub specific ssh key.

Actions like this will always cary the risk of generating the response of "political correctness gone mad" - which may even be true - if we're not careful to exalt one's accomplishments over one's race and ethnic background. If it's the case that people achieving high accomplishments but were of the "wrong" race weren't also receiving praise then that would be bad. If people are having the recognition of their accomplishments removed solely based off their race - in this case their being white but can be generalized to any race - then that would be bad. That's what it means to be colorblind. So, is this an action to correct for colorblindness or is this an action to remove the recognition of the accomplishments of middle-aged white men? The article doesn't say.
?"The only bad thing about the GitHub issue there is that a de-anonymization attack is possible as an SSH server will tell you if it accepts a given public key"

Could you elaborate more on this specific attack?
I agree (of course). It's even a bigger problem for me with the Nest thermostat. Living somewhere that gets cold in the winter I absolutely won't tolerate an added failure mode in my heating system. And I have other ways to monitor temperature that happen out-of-band of my furnace control.
This has happened before, with vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, dishwashers, etc. They replaced some of the labor of maids and servants in rich households, and many of the family's chores in everyone else's households. In fact, they benefitted the poor more than the rich, because the rich already paid people to do these things for them, and the poor could not.

I used a convolutional neural net for face recognition on a hobby project, but I kept getting issues where the probability of matching a face was high so long as a face was actually in the image. Unfortunately, this didnt work well with a sliding window algo because Id get a bunch of windows with a high probability of a face with the only difference being a slight shift in increment / size. Would it be better to just use a multi layer perceptron? Also, does anyone else find it amusing when their face recognition systems identify things like toes or gates with high confidence? I end up spending some time zooming in to make sure it's not one of those hidden faces in random images

My advice would be to have reasonable expectations. Latin isn't easy to learn - you can't practise talking to real people, it has plentiful grammar, there isn't so much vocabulary (relatively) but many words have a vast variety of meanings depending on context, and sentence structure is entirely alien to English speakers. It is, essentially, quite hard (though easier than Classical Greek).

I studied Latin to degree level a decade-and-mumble years ago, and to my great shame have not kept it up at all. On the rare occasions that I am required to translate some Latin - an inscription in a church, for instance - I try my best, but I am usually a far cry from Indiana Jones. (I do have a moderately extensive selection of pretentious phrases in Latin that I can deploy when necessary.)

We used Kennedy's Revised Latin Primer and The Cambridge Latin Course at school; I think the latter starts pretty much from the basics, and the former covers probably all of the grammar you'd ever need to know. I think you can get some of the Harry Potter books in Latin, if that sort of thing takes your fancy. Once you've acquired a moderate mastery, you will find something like Caesar's Gallic Wars to be quite an easy read (though stylistically he ain't much cop).
I completely disagree. They absolutely can and should be considered. You're assuming that the employers are acting perfectly rationally, which is a fallacy. And the fact that they offer these positions, and that they would hire someone who does agree with what they're offering, DOES mean that they are part of the demand for labor.

Reasoning the way you are, you can hand wave away anything, making it appear as if there not only is not a lack of labor, but a surplus, implying that wages are too high. This is clearly not true. It is far, far more plausible that employers have become accustom to lower labor prices, and thus are hesitant to raise wages.
Microcontroller? Often what you need is digital logic circuits, not even a microcontroller. (Of course, in your last sentence, you illustrate that even that may be too much.)

> First, begin with a smoke alarm. A tried and true design that you can buy for $10. Buy the exact parts that are already in use, and put them in your final product. The smoke sensor, the transistors, the through-hole resistors, the Fairchild IC, the 9V, the LED. Buy all of that and use it in your final product.

So... why didn't Nest do it this way?

From reading the transcript, it seems like the decision was made to cancel the reservation for some undisclosed reason (omitted from the public transcripts), and the racial slur and Trump reference were parting shots and a reveal of an underlying prejudice rather than the direct motivation.

Assuming that the host inferred the ethnicity of the tenant from their name, that was accessible from the beginning of the interaction, and might have colored some of the reactions to the requests, but not in a directly racist way until the very end.
> given all this and the difficulty of the exam, [CA lawyers] are a time and a half as expensive as New York's.

Former big firm lawyer here. This is definitely not true across the board. In the firm I worked at, we had three "rates": reduced, normal, and New York. The NY rate was only charged by NY lawyers, or by other lawyers working on matters for NY lawyers (typically for NY clients, who would put up with it).

It may be that small-firm lawyers are much less expensive in NY, but I would doubt that this is the case. If you're comparing upstate NY to SF, you'll see a big difference, due to cost of living. But compare upstate NY to Sacramento, and the difference would not be anywhere close to 1.5x.

Why would you give it away for free? Also, you're forgetting the cost of raw materials.
Yes, but similarly if you have a given public key you can ask a server if it accepts that key with no need for the private key.

Basically, don't reuse keys in places where you might not want to be identified and use ssh configs to prevent announcing all keys to the world.
In fact, you don't even have to go to a law school to sit for the bar in California, which is not the case elsewhere. Not surprisingly, these students have much lower pass rates, and drag down the overall numbers.

Seems like the point of the article is that subcr is bad for customers and therefore bad for biz... the psychos should have known better.

It's true that we pay more for stuff now vs. perpetual licenses (it's prob a book's worth of material, but "opt-out is better than opt-in" and Houshalter's point on chunking are most of it). But in exchange, companies have the ability to invest that greater profit to a greater degree in innovation, so in the long-term we, customers, should get more out of it than we lost in dollars.

First an observation:
Adobe's decision to increase profit secularly (i.e. beyond any accounting nuances at the time of switch) by switching to subscription is actually TWO decisions. 1) the switch in revenue mechanism itself and 2) the decision to NOT invest the additional profit.

#2 is the crux of my point, but the "to a greater degree" thing is a 1+1=3 effect:

"more profit" is straightforward because subscriptions increase dollars in, often more than making up for any churn. That cash could be invested to accelerate innovation. It's 1-to-1 apart from timing issues (queuing "yearly up fronts" :D)

"to a greater degree" - this is the special part. It is easier to spend more when predictability is higher. Or put another way, volatility is the enemy of spending to the "hilt". So companies like Netflix can spend (for our sake) more to the hilt when you have a tighter distribution as to where the hilt could be (vs. perpetual products which have poor visibility). Just ask any marketing person or sales person about how easy it is to spend in channels when attribution isn't a problem. BTW I define hilt as "as much as necessary to stay ahead of threats of competition/churn"

But yes, the company does have to choose to do this. Some are more relentless for their customers :). I just heard about the www.relentless.com thing lolz...

Quick aside: I saw this sick chart that compared 12-month lifetime value between Dollar Shave Club (subscription) and Harry's (previously per unit). Even though Harry's has always been branded as a more premium product, DSC made more money by the 12th month (even after churn). It's easy to forget that monthly click -_-
There was a "Hey, don't do that, X needs to be in the loop" complaint. (Didn't see it myself, but technical program manager who was also in on the meetings told me.)

Later that remote person left the company, and the position was left unfilled for a year and some projects got mothballed.
I wish I had had a teacher like that when Latin was being shoved down my throat. I so rebelled, I knew less Latin in my sixth year than I did in my fourth. The wasted hours of rosa, rosam, rosae, rosa.

I have four of them, purchased from Amazon. One Nest Protect was DOA (wouldn't connect to wifi) and Amazon had a replacement to me next day. They work flawlessly: they work when I test them, don't make noise when they're not supposed to, they do a quick sound check once in a while, the quick "flash green when you turn off the lights at night" to confirm things are ok is great, and the motion-detecting night light feature is handy in my hallway, too.

I'm a big skeptic of most things IoT, and I agree with most points in the posted article, but my honest experience is that my Nest Protects work great.

A quick overview of how SSH key authentication works:

> SSH client: I support key auth

> SSH server: Let's use key auth

> SSH client: Do you take this public key hash: XXXXXX?

> SSH server: Yes I do

or

> SSH server: No I don't

Repeat for as many keys as you like.

You can therefore grab a list of known public keys for a given person and ask a given ssh server if it knows about the given public key. Given a few days you could even scan the entire IPv4 space for servers taking a given public key. Username must match, etc of course, but it's an attack many people might not consider.
So what’s the plan to get rid of them? Verily’s male mosquitos were infected with the Wolbachia bacteria, which is harmless to humans but when they mate with and infect their female counterparts, it makes their eggs unable to produce offspring.

Thank goodness. We can't eliminate mosquitoes fast enough.

Wildlife will probably find other food sources, so bring on the weapons of mosquito destruction.
This is pretty interesting! I have been personally telling my friends(who have no clue about how to protect their RSU's or ESPP) about similar things. Esp. when someone says like if the stock hits this price I am going to dump all of my stocks(without even thinking about taxes etc.,) No one seems to bother about the downside risk.

I will be interested in trying your service. Do you have any link or sample reports?
well worse, on the idea where many companies are trying to be environmentally sensitive its clear these guys weren't even considering that aspect. this is even worse than a Keurig simply because the waste is far greater and packaging is as bad if not worse because they have to carry all the liquid with them.

I was also surprised to see how quickly this one dropped off the front page. It was up for maybe 10 minutes, gaining very quick momentum, and then suddenly disappeared.
This is called the sterile insect technique, and it is a well-established practice for getting rid of mosquito populations that could threaten humans. It is very safe, both to humans (male mosquitoes don't bite) and ecologically (species other than mosquitoes aren't affected at all).

It sounds like Google is working on improvements to the process. This is important work, because mosquitos are a major cause of disease, especially in Africa, and we haven't been able to fully solve the problem with existing technology.
To supplement this, the article says:
> This particular mosquito species entered the area in 2013.

Although the scientific consensus I usually read on the topic of eradicating mosquitoes is that it won't destabilize any ecosystem.

Current student who would also highly recommend Bradfield.

If you're a mostly self-taught engineer lacking foundational CS knowledge (I personally have a minor in CS; most of my colleagues at Bradfield went through a bootcamp) you will very quickly discover and confront the gaps in your knowledge.

Regardless of your title at work (maybe level II engineer, tech lead, whatever), you will be made to feel like a beginner in short order when they ask you to write programs that manipulate bytes, that deal with concurrency, or do anything more nitty gritty than manipulate JSON in your high-level language of choice...while disorienting initially, I personally have found Bradfield to be one of the most illuminating and rewarding educational experiences of my career.
Is it pedantic? I think Computer Science should be taught by Computer Scientists, which is a different set of people than Software Engineers. I say this AS a Software Engineer.

Hey Sergio,

Regarding fairings, it seems a missing "middleware" case might be the sorts of things that cause redirects on entry (e.g. redirect routes with/without trailing slashes to the latter as a super trivial example). Is that something you'd expect to support in some way? I think that's something that doesn't feel like it maps either to guards or fairings well at the moment.

I did see where you mentioned your dislike of rails/sinatra/... style blunt force middleware, fwiw.
