I'm confused. Are you saying that a company should not hire a Republicans because some Republicans are anti-gay?

The OP called Republicans "backward ass belie[vers]" for not supporting gay marriage. I responded by saying that was a bigoted statement and doesn't make sense because 40% of Republicans do support gay marriage. The OP's larger point was basically that we should shun Republicans because of their "backward ass beliefs". I never mentioned that we should include anti gay workers, I didn't even mention gays. I just said we should be inclusive of Republicans. Are you agreeing with the OP's original assertion that we should shun Republicans?

Let me give another example. I am a male and I am not attracted to overweight / obese females. So I actively discriminate against overweight people in my dating life. It does not affect how I treat overweight people in any other aspect of my life, including my workplace. If I had a public dating profile which says I preferred petite females would that be grounds to not hire me? Or to give another equivalent scenario, if I was a female who discriminated against short males in dating would that be grounds to not hire me?
Or to go further, would you think its fine for the tech community to blacklist people who voted for Trump?

There's something deeply troubling to me about going down that rabbit hole. That people can make such blanket statements about an entire political party, esp the party of Abraham Lincoln.

To me as a Bengali, it's no different from my parents stating "Well Pakistanis want us dead. They conducted a genocide of us 50 years ago and they feel no different. Don't cultivate relationships with them"

NO. You don't do that. You judge individuals by the individual. Not by the their political affiliation, not by their race, not by their sexuality, gender, etc.

You don't say "let's not hire this person because they are Republican and Republicans hate gays". You evaluate the individual and if you think the individual would not create a good environment for your gay workers you don't hire them. But you do that regardless of their party. I know plenty of Democrats who are bigoted, racist, or homophobic.

Seriously, this feels like a liberal version of McCarthyism.

I hear Square's local office in Atlantic Station pays $150k+.
Disappointed Los Angeles didn't make the list but not surprising. LA has all the right things like colleges (UCLA USC Caltech and others) and same CA employment laws as Silicon Valley. It has big companies like Snapchat but just can't seem to cross that threshold into major tech hub. Maybe Hollywood is just too dominant here, similar to how NYC isn't on the list because finance dominates there.
Yes, you should withdraw your BTC from Coinbase ASAP. Otherwise, you won't get any BCC in case a blockchain split happens on August 1st.
As a rule of thumb, if you're not completely technologically illiterate or a trader then you are better off withdrawing your money and storing it offline. Exchanges lose their customers' funds all the time.
> Would you recommend I withdraw it ahead of the fork?

You basically get free money if you withdraw, because you can split the coins so that they can be spent on both chains. But you need to be able to do this without messing anything up, which has gotten more difficult since 2013 or whenever.

Wallets have new features to protect privacy, but the trade off is that they are more dangerous to work with. A few years ago the best practice was to make a cold wallet and then delete the private key from your computer, but doing that with a modern wallet can result in losing all your coins.
Flush times for hackers in booming cyber security job market
Yeah, Goldeneye/Perfect Dark are pretty bad (though being a PlayStation kid, my primary experience was TimeSplitters, but they're all practically the same game), but that's more for the controls than the graphics. We kind of take FPS controls for granted these days (and when modern games like PUBG make crouch C instead of the Most Natural and Just CTRL, there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth), but it was far from a solved problem 20 years ago.

But the RTS genre has literally not changed at all since AoE. The big question in my mind is: is AoE a universal truth, or are RTS developers lazy?
2D ages better too. So many PSOne/N64 games have aged badly in terms of looks (especially now with HDTVs) but SNES and sprite-based PSOne games still hold up.
I don't really know, to be honest. Last time the app was on HN, there was a spike in usage, plus a few steady users each day, but I haven't noticed any restrictions yet.
I'd recommend it. If Coinbase is set on sticking to the original blockchain, in the event the fork prevails, that means your money effectively becomes unusable - you don't control that wallet, but Coinbase won't submit your transfers to that forked blockchain. The money dies on that chain the moment Coinbase decides not to interact with it.

If you have it on your own, you can technically use it on both chains independently. The history breaks August 1st. From there are on it is basically two currencies.

Though in general you should keep your bitcoin close to home. If Coinbase gets hacked or just ceases operations your money could just be gone if the fallout is lost in litigation hell.

What Is Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant for Startups
You can technically still use var if you wish, but I'm not sure of any reasons to do so.

When switching to let/const, bear in mind the difference in scope:

var is function-scoped:

(function () {
var x = 1;
})();

var x === undefined

let/const are block-scoped:

if (true) {
var x = 1;
let y = 1;
const z = 1;
}
x === 1
y === undefined
z === undefined
What percentage of their customers do you believe will hear about this and go to the trouble of actually doing it in the next five days (two of which being a weekend)? When a fork happens, a lot of people who have BTC stored at Coinbase who don't notice or don't bother are then going to be financially isolated from the fork, which removes a ton of people who might otherwise be financially incentived to participate. This thereby could also be acting as a way to hobble a fork (which maybe they have determined the existence of to be bad for them in some way).
Comparing nights-watch with Operations Team
There seems to be striking similarity between the operations team that have to fight hard (almost a losing war) to protect the production servers - when faced with scale or performance issues.

I don't understand how Coinbase can justify this. Of course Bitcoin cash will have value, and of course they are trying to pocket all that value themselves. If I had any money in Coinbase, I would withdraw it immediately, because a company that thinks they could pull something like this off on their customers are seriously deluded.
Agreed. I was just curious, and it seemed like a fun way to demonstrate the technique, which can be useful when profiling CPU intensive parts of your own code.
> I'm pretty sure I listened to MP3s on a Pentium 166 without it pegging the CPU completely.

I can collaborate that. I remember upgrading from a 486 to a Pentium 166 and being excited that I could finally play 44khz stereo MP3s at full quality and not be constantly skipping. I could even browse the web at 56k at the same time!
Can you guarantee that Amazon's delivery partner, iParcel, won't use a courier which is silently blocked by AusPost?

(I have been using the AusPost ones and I'm having more luck than I used to).

Seriously - if AusPost don't want to accept a delivery they won't even let you know, it's just returned to sender.
This is 100% right. I've only worked in a bar and a restaurant for a combined total of a year and I've heard so many women repeat very similar comments as to what offended her on a daily basis. Bad jokes about tits, pussys, and small dicks. Some people are aggressive, plain and simple.

I've also worked with several women in tech who very strongly resisted the feminist movement and felt they needed to carve their own path. They are some of the most badass software developers I've ever worked with and without them their teams would falter into a horrible mess of terrible code and documentation. If anything I'm understating how important they are to the companies they work for.

It's my personal belief that the changes with women's rights in our country over the several decades has been one of the best things to ever happen. For the majority of my life growing up it has been just me and my mom, and even in the past two decades I've seen a lot of really good change. I can't imagine the amount of change in the past four decades.

The issue is that much like the BLM movement SOME people, not all, are turning it into an us versus them situation. This mentality is never productive and indefensible. Read the final statement "We won’t let them grind us down."

Right now my Facebook is jam packed full of friends posting about how everyone needs to revolt against white men because of the transsexual military ban that Trump just enacted. I'd love to have a discussion with them about how Trump's actions don't represent white males everywhere, but they will turn hostile and rip me to shreds the moment I say anything which opposes that statement. They've done it before and I don't want to argue with my friends like that.

All of this said, the manager is horribly sexist with comments like below. Even if that is true, there is a strong context in the situation. Why even bring it up, what point is he trying to make?
"Later that night, he also said that women had a smaller brain. That’s when I couldn’t take it anymore and left."

That's really fucked up, go finish the contract and find a better team to work with. Life is too short for shit like that. And please don't turn this into us versus them. Find better people to work with.

EDIT: In the comment section responding to someone suggesting a company for her to work at, she wrote:
"Thank you for the tip ! I have to keep fighting but it’s not easy, I know that 42 school is very sexist as well and there are only 7% of women there so I’m not so delighted to go there. But that school is very famous in France and I want to acquire those low level C language skills."

Then don't go! Go work at some place where people treat you with respect.

If it was, why don't they just say that BCC withdrawals will be available in the future?

- If BCC really goes to zero, nobody will care and it will fizz out.

- If BCC has value, users can benefit from that value like the rest of the ecosystem.

Frankly, I don't see how what they're proposing is even legal.
It's been getting progressively worse, but they recently added HOV lanes both ways on I-90 between Seattle and Bellevue and that has decreased commuter congestion fairly markedly for pretty much everyone who lives in Seattle and work on the Eastside. The HOV lane additions eliminated a few merges so it's now better for everyone. Once the train is running in place of the recently-bygone reversible express lanes life will be even better.

Actually, 3rd party browsers are now allowed on the App Store, with a few restrictions. Previous, section 3.3.2 of the developer agreement prevented the downloading and running of any code, except for JavaScript running inside iOS's JavaScriptCore. But the June 5th agreement allows any language and interpreter.
There are two limitations. The system makes it impossible to run unsigned code, so JIT compilation is out. Also, an app can't establish its own app store, so Google would have to get special permission for the Chrome Web Store.
It took me several re-readings to understand the author's point about the quoted tweet. I think her point was that Duo goofed the API because they are security engineers, not software engineers - security engineers made a usability mistake that a software engineer likely would not have made.

Thanks for the explanation.

If it scans the entire GDI handle table then that suggests that its runtime will be proportional to the system's total number of GDI objects, correct? That sort of design can easily get expensive. I'm surprised it can't iterate through its own GDI objects without having to traverse everybody else's as well.

What's wrong with the "pick-up stations" option? I have a list of 9 different places (post office, gas station, optician, pizzeria, drug store, etc.) within 15-minute walking/transit distance which I can select to have my stuff delivered. Alternately I can enter a neighbor's name/address or select a safe place. Is this only an option in Europe?
Yes, in China it's common to have multiple of these "hubs" from different competitors. Some are refrigerated for grocery deliveries. It's all done by app on your smartphone. Get phone, the app has a QR code that you scan or some have an RFID card. And pop, the lockers with your stuff opens. It's awesome. So convenient to never have to go to the grocery store and still have fresh produce every day. Usually if you order by 9pm it will be delivered before 8am the next day.

I miss how much more convenient things are in China. North America has a long way to go to catch up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you hold BTC with Coinbase (or any wallet you don't control) you'd be extremely foolish not to pull it out now.

The value of BTC after the fork will presumably be the value of BTC + BCC after the fork. If BCC has any value at over the coming months, then that is effectively yours but inaccessible. And if it retains value, Coinbase is going to be in a very awkward situation where they're sitting on an asset that may or may not be yours any more.

-- EDIT:

Actually, the savviest move is probably to sell. Coinbase's position mean that it's more than likely that a lot of BCC is inaccessible even if it has value. That means BTC drops with no way to recover the lost value. Either the value of BCC drops to zero (and BTC recovers over time) or Coinbase eventually releases BCC (people who held it get BCC equivalent to the loss in BTC value). Either way if you sell immediately before the fork and purchase when it drops, you should retain the lost BCC value.

(This assumes that BTC itself doesn't lose out).
The book "Phishing for Phools" has a good chapter on "reputation mining", which is essentially that, with the added wrinkle that you can buy a company that has a good reputation and cut corners until the customers wise up. I'm looking at you, InBev.

I have been stalked. On Usenet. For about a year. By one of the old-school notorious trolls. So I obtained the entire newsgroup, parsed it into a SQL database, and found his IP address. Years ago, it turned out, he didn't use proxies. Also, using semantic analysis, I identified other personas. So I let him know, and he left Usenet.
Second in IT job growth is completely due to the auto industry, both the Big 3 and all of the suppliers. While they are good jobs, cost of living here is pretty cheap so jobs are only good paying relative to COL in those other areas (and it's mostly due to the vast sprawl of suburbs like you mentioned).

It does not include Ann Arbor, but Ann Arbor is a real small city compared to anything else that would pop up in those surveys.
Why Marissa Mayer?
This is the part I'm slightly confused by. Obviously it makes more sense to hold in your own wallet (which I do), but what happens to the BTC people decide to keep on Coinbase when a separate fork is created? If those people are not getting the BCC for "free", who is? Coinbase?

Amazon has a load of terrible products. Even their store is getting worse and worse. The fire phone was a complete flop. Amazon cloud drive and music are not at all at the same level as their competitors. Google Home is looking as though it's going to surpass the Echo.

Amazon is successful because they are fine with taking losses, only just recently making a small amount of profit compared to their scale.
We have had a similar product at my University for the past two years. I honestly couldn’t imagine college without it. I have little faith that my residential office could manage that many packages. Plus free next day pickup for most things on Amazon is amazing. Order by 10pm and its there at 8am the next day.

> you’d always see ‘slow’, not ‘fast’.

And yet - line 34 of the spreadsheet shows "xor r8d,r8d" as being quite expensive. My theory is that the branch which targets it must be mispredicted and it gets blamed.

Similarly, line 24 of the spreadsheet shows "cmp ebx,eax" as being quite expensive. The only explanation I can come up with is that the previous instruction was blocked by a cache miss and then the "cmp" must have been folded in with the add so that mumble mumble nope I don't have a good mental model.

So, there are quite a few examples of instructions which by themselves are obviously always fast being hit by a huge portion of the CPU samples.

Yeah, it is likely the smartest decision for him. I have watched him play his whole career (Ravens fan). He is good but he would have likely bounced around the league as a backup and got cut in the next few years due to age. With this decision he is starting a career that will be enjoyable, safe and well paying. You cannot beat that. Good luck #64.
