Of course there are gender differences..but the only relevant question in this context you or anyone should ask is whether those gender differences justify lower participation of women in technology.

If you're a capitalist, if you believe in exploiting the market to the benefit yourself, you would be stupid and shortsighted to not find a way to utilize women and minorities in any way possible to serve your business.

Say you discover that women and Indians are biologically incapable of working more than 3 hours at a stretch without taking a tea break. Use that tidbit of knowledge to maybe place women and Indians closer to the breakroom. Don't brush their individual idiosyncrasies under the carpet. Use them.

And once you start using them to benefit yourself, realize that companies like Google are doing exactly that by promoting policies to bring in and retain women. It's not altruism - it's pure business.

As they're flying out of Boeing Field, I'd tend to agree. Plenty of aircraft go through rounds of testing and qualification there.

The following, though, does remain the law of the land:

I have a standard 21 speed, my commute home (SF East Bay) has a 15% grade for part of the 300ft gain, even with the gears its still fairly intense. I don't mind too much since its on my way home but I'm definitely tired when I get home. I can see a lot of people not wanting to deal with this, especially if they have other commitments after work.

The bubble part is endlessly debatable, as it's strictly a subjective concept.

The rather dramatic multiple expansion the last few years is not debatable however, it's at historically high levels.

Microsoft's net income has not increased since 2011/2012 or so. The stock went up nearly 200% bottom to top over five years regardless of that. It's up roughly 67% over just two years, for absolutely no good reason that relates to actual growth in their sales or earnings. Plus, they've loaded up massively with debt in that time as well, their balance sheet keeps getting worse by the year.

So who are the suicidal investors paying ~30 times earnings for zero net income growth for half a decade and an epic pile of debt?

How about for Amazon's ~300 times 2017 earnings? It'll take them a minimum of ten years of 20% annual growth, to justify their present valuation, assuming they can ever manage to produce ~$20 billion in net income even with that amount of continued sales growth.

There are far more mundane examples of the extreme valuation expansion that is going on (thanks Federal Reserve for another asset party!).

ADP has hardly expanded its net income since 2011. The stock is up over 100% in that time, for absolutely no good reason. They have no growth of consequence, and there isn't likely to be any inbound. Quite the opposite if anything, they're probably on the chopping block of having their business seriously threatened by cloud competitors over the coming decade.

Priceline.com has a tremendous business, with modest 10-15% annual sales growth... trading at ~45 times earnings, meanwhile their net income hasn't increased in years. The stock is up ~67% in 14 months or so, for absolutely no good reason, their growth didn't just suddenly shoot through the roof and it isn't about to.

Why is PayPal's modest 14-15% net income growth worth 50 times earnings? A little over a year ago it was worth barely over half that. Dramatically increased future growth expectations? Yeah right.

The examples don't stop, it's practically every publicly traded stock.

Who's paying 30 times earnings for Coke (KO)?!? Its business is collapsing:

2014: $46b sales | 2015: $44.2b sales | 2016: $41.8b sales

Net income for KO has gone from $9 billion in 2012, to $6.5 billion today, with a persistent annual erosion. Why is the stock at an all-time high? McDonald's is similar, their business has contracted by 10%+ since 2012, with net income down 13% over that time - the stock is up 50% in two years for absolutely no good reason.

The damage on the way down will be immense, again.

I really have to say it’s been a joy writing the backend for a Bitcoin-related app[1] in Haskell. It took me a while to adapt to Haskell — probably a couple of years or so — but in the end it has left me with such strong compiler guarantees that I can literally grep through my codebase for “error|throw” and see where a 500-error may be thrown by the server.

The only somewhat laborious part is categorizing all the exceptions, that can be thrown when performing requests, into retryable and non-retryable ones, so requests that throw these intermittent, retryable errors are automatically retried (the retry package makes automatic retrying super easy).

This post[2] gets to the crux of how my coding has adapted over the years: getting rid of runtime-decisions (e.g. looking at a Maybe value at runtime to figure out what to), by moving the relevant parameters to the type level, such that program flow is determined at compile-time by which type an operation is parametized over. For example, the app is parametized over two types: DB implementation and Blockchain implementation[3], which makes the compiler construct a program for these specific implementations at compile-time, rather than making it a runtime-decision based on reading a config file at startup.

I did not get "status driven = good, empathy = bad" from the article.

In his section titled "Men's Higher Drive for Status", the author suggests that status-driven is bad:

"We always ask why we don’t see women in top leadership positions, but we never ask why we see so many men in these jobs. These positions often require long, stressful hours that may not be worth it if you want a balanced and fulfilling life.

"Status is the primary metric that men are judged on[4], pushing many men into these higher paying, less satisfying jobs for the status that they entail. Note, the same forces that lead men into high pay/high stress jobs in tech and leadership cause men to take undesirable and dangerous jobs like coal mining, garbage collection, and firefighting, and suffer 93% of work-related deaths."

And then in a footnote:

"Considering women spend more money than men and that salary represents how much the employees sacrifices (e.g. more hours, stress, and danger), we really need to rethink our stereotypes around power."
Exactly, Facebook took hold on campuses before the news feed, before games, before most of the present-day experience. I joined in Fall 05 and it was very much like a college-centric MySpace. Most of the activity happened on your profile and people saying silly things on your Wall (and the pokes haha, it seems so quaint now). You listed your interests, hobbies, bands you liked. There were no Pages, but I think you could see who else in your friends or network listed those bands, later they converted these lists to Likes on Pages.

Photos may have always been there but it was before the smartphone era so it wasn't anything like now, it was more meme posting and random shots of someone passed out drunk. I don't think there were albums at first.

Groups were really popular right away, lots of joke groups but also study and other interest groups where people would post information and organize events. Whereas MySpace and other networks were fun places to hang out, stuff was actually "happening" on Facebook, it became the place of record.
I think Richard Proenneke is a better example of someone who survived in the vastness of Alaskan wilderness for decades. His survival story is truly fascinating and level-headed compared to McCandless who was a hippie vagabond more than anything else.
Really it's debatable that people work together? I get bias but seriously this is like saying I have a Left bias because I think the Earth is round.
This is not merely sexist. Amidst his rambling "evolutionary psychology" argument he also protests racial diversity programs.[1] And his explanation for that? It's buried here:

"Left tends to deny science concerning biological differences between people (e.g., IQ and sex differences)." (emphasis mine)

So women are bad at programming because of evolution and non-whites/asians are bad at it because they're dumb. According to science. Does dressing this up in pseudo-academic prose make it any less racist?

We always go off about helmets, no one talks about learning how to wipe out. That guy didn't know how to go to the ground correctly.

Getting on a skateboard or a bike without having learned how to wipeout is about as irresponsible as going into a boxing match not knowing how to dodge or block a punch. Like, if there was a match between a guy with a helmet and no boxing experience, and a guy with no helmet but plenty of boxing experience, who would you bet on?

Pro skateboarders and BMXers rarely wear helmets and regularly walk away from spectacular, cringe inducing accidents that would kill or cripple a less skilled individual, and of course, they've been mastering the art of wiping out for as long as they've been riding.

A friend of mine once stood on a skateboard for not even 2 seconds before it rolled out from under him, he fell back and broke his elbow, he just hadn't conditioned himself to react properly in that situation. I saw another guy on a bike go sailing over the hood of a car that cut him off, and he did a face-plant on the other side, he didn't think to tuck his head or get his arms between himself and the pavement. His face was all bloody and his front teeth were knocked out, his helmet didn't do him much good. Being able to react instinctively to something like that takes training.

Strapping some styrofoam to your head is probably better than nothing, but framing bicycle safety as a binary depending on whether someone has a helmet on is a gross oversimplification. Between skateboarding, various styles of cycling, and general horsing around I've had hundreds, if not thousands of wipeouts and the only time I suffered a concussion was when I was mugged by a guy who came up behind me.
They're honestly nothing more than children's toys.
It sounds like it could be a future story for Silicon Valley on HBO. I'm sure this sort of thing happened before, both spouses contribute to the startup and then they divorce and fight over ownership/control.

Most people have prenups to handle this sort of situation.

Kind of strange how up until 2016 they just did urban legends, myths, chain letters, scams, etc. Then took on political fact checking in 2016 and by 2017 they divorce after Snoops is picked by Facebook as one of the offical fact checkers.

I was given a link by one of my friends and posted it on my brothers timeline as it was about vaping and side effects, but a day or two later it was flagged as fake news and censored and I was not given a link for explination. I kind of hoped for a link to an article as to why it was fake news and how they debunked it.
We don't. How do we know that the big bang wasn't part of the internal activity of another organism? There are just some things we will never know.
CPUs with hyperthreading typically allow you to disable it in the BIOS. If you're running a new, beta-ish CPU microarchitecture (such as Ryzen/Threadripper) you might wish to disable HT as part of troubleshooting a CPU freeze/hang.

Changing a single CPU-related flag in the BIOS should under no circumstances render a filesystem unmountable.
Asians seem to be doing quite well in STEM and score higher than whites on IQ tests.
std::map and red-black trees are associative & sorted (by key); HAMTs are just plain associative. HAMTs have generally excellent performance: the typical implementations use 32-way branching, which allows for the top levels to be likely in cache.

The best thing about HAMTs is passing immutable ones around, which have free update costs and multi-thread safe. Clojure uses these to represent information that flows through a program. (By free update costs I mean: they are free enough to never rise to the programmer's attention. Obviously ops have costs.)
Lying is still lying, even if you feel that the lie accomplishes some political agenda that you happen to believe in. In this case, if you say that this is a typical family when it is not, then the fact that you lied for what you think is a nobler purpose doesn't make this OK.
They seem to draw a line between men and women because of "biological differences".

I wonder what they think about affirmative action for men of different races.
The right topic isn't biology, it's history.

Historically, for millennia women were treated as property of men. This was justified with all sorts sexist jabber. The same is true of race; ou can read all sorts of racist nonsense from the era of slavery. E.g., the Cornerstone Speech, in which the vice-president of the Confederacy said straight out: "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."

The important thing to note from this is that people will justify the status quo, whatever it is, in terms of what is "natural". They are not really rational, but rationalizing.

For the last hundred years or so, we've been struggling our way out of that long era of institutionalized sexism and racism. If we don't fuck it up, we might be truly out of it in another hundred years. Until we have ripped up its roots, then questions of biology should be ignored.

Why? One good reason is that historically those arguments have proven incredibly wrong over and over. There's a whole host of things that women supposedly couldn't do that they now do just fine.

Second, we should learn a lesson from the long history of rationalizing the status quo. People who do well by the current system will tend to argue to maintain the system. Whenever we find ourselves arguing like that, we should be very suspicious.

Third our enormous history of discrimination by gender and race entirely confounds attempts to answer questions of what is truly innate. If we want to get any sort of real answer, we need to build a world with no remaining trace of bias. Only then can we start to see the nature that might exist behind culture.

Fourth, and most importantly, it doesn't fucking matter. If men turn out to be naturally, as a group, less good at math than women, does that mean we should stop training men on math? No. We should train men more at math, because math is a valuable skill, humans are very plastic, and nobody should be denied an opportunity just because somebody reduced them to a single bit, and then condemned them to ignorance. It's dumb, it's unkind, it's wasteful.

TL;DR: Let's focus on the well-documented historical distortions of massive gender and race bias, not subtle, possibly imaginary gender and race differences that have been used over and over to justify that bias.
Your data speaks about the companies but not about dollars invested in the stock market.

If more people invest more (compared to the growth of companies/stocks) the value increases.
In this case, I think it is to protect the foreign reserves that China have. If Chinese companies did large acquisitions of US companies, it might reduce the value of the yuan.
To describe it as "anti-diversity" kind of proves the manifesto's point - that one political side controls the debate. Because the manifesto clearly states it is for diversity, including diversity of gender and race (and even suggests ways to try to improve things there).

It's fine to disagree with it - it has many flaws and inaccuracies, to be sure - but we can do that with honesty and fairness. Not just for the author's sake, but for our own.

It's hard enough to find Linux admins, even in major cities. There are people who will put Linux experience on their resumes, but almost nobody who can boast more than casual home use. We ended up giving up on finding a Linux admin after a few months of the job posting collecting dust and decided to just hire someone fresh out of college a train them from scratch.

Then you run into the problem that BSD admins are even rarer, and AIX/Solaris even rarer than that.

Someone with experience with Linux could likely find their way around any UNIX like system but given the choice we would rather deal with some awkwardness in a familiar environment where admins have far more experience and we can leverage our exiting infrastructure, scripts, and config management.
I still get the thick card stock ones fairly often I think it just depends what airport and airline maybe.
That you don't see the harm doesn't mean there's harm. If you would care to do a little work, you can find plenty of people explaining what the particular harm here is.

You might also try studying history; you can find many examples of people civilly discussing absolutely horrific ideas that resulted in enormous harm to people. That civil discussion enabled the harm.
> The departure time is listed, but the boarding time is not. The boarding time is more critical to know.

I disagree. Airlines often lie about boarding times - the number of passes I've seen where the boarding time is 1 hour before takeoff. At some airports I'm still in bed 1 hour before takeoff!
It seems like the developers could relatively easily add a slow compatibility mode that allows accessing filesystems from systems with different numbers of CPUs. It would just impose additional locking accessing all of the previous per-CPU datastructures.
Wouldn't the patent be immediately rendered void due to prior art anyway?
Yes, but they get "only" that, but with it, they get, time/date of when you use the app(and perhaps how long, depending on how you/they handle logouts). Plus they get this for EVERY app that's used. You start aggregating this information and suddenly you can tell a LOT about a person. Plus this is all for ad dollars, FB/Google/etc can(will/do?) sell this information, to anyone willing to pay for it.

For a hello world app, no big. For a game app, what happens when your employer buys the data, and notices you are playing games on "company" time... Of course lots more privacy failures can be easily imagined here. I picked low privacy failures, but larger failures are very easy to imagine.. Especially when we know that most large governments also have this data, directly siphoned from Google/FB/etc.
"Exhalation" by Ted Chiang is, I think, a great literary exploration of this topic and brings the essence of what is required for life, though it doesn't get into what life is as opposed to other phenomena. For those who've not read it, I may be giving off too much if I said anything more.

It is certainly more insightful (again imho) than this article.

I'm not sure why you pointed that out. Of course my data speaks about the companies, the future potential earnings of said companies is mostly what is being (over) paid for.
Or simply the product of the first two (prime) numbers is 6.

Similarly we have 10 fingers and we like base 10, but for time we prefer something which is "better dividible" (pardon my english), i.e. 3x4x5 = 60.

YouTube. There are a lot of survivalists channels with plethora of information about building shelters, starting fires, finding wild edibles, cooking and even trapping. I'm not a survivalist, but as someone who lives in Colorado and plays in the Rockies almost every week knowing how to survive becomes pretty essential. Watching videos and trying things out on my outings is how i got started. Another fun thing you can do while you're out alone is bring a wild edibles identification guide of some sort for your area. Keeps you occupied and informs you about some pretty neat stuff growing around your camp.
So, would this be perfect time for me short my first stock?
> What if those people or organisations have a lot of repositories and they want to use a naming convention that reflects that maybe, just maybe, only a subset of their code is written in Go?

I'm not sure I understand how that's an argument in itself for using "go-" or "-go" (or some other version) in a package name. It results in a lack of clarity in how to reference the package: the hypothetical "github.com/stripe/stripe-go" import path probably (and almost certainly) introduces the "stripe" package name, but the the discordance between what you write as an import statement and by what name the package is referenced is unconventional and strange.

There are certainly times when it makes sense. And I agree with the idea that an organization, in most cases, shouldn't come up with a unique name for the Go implementation of, say, an API wrapper, just to satisfy Go convention. But generally speaking the convention should be followed not simply because it's prescribed but because it's sensible to avoid that disconnect between the import statement and the package name.
