> In France we have a similar issue with the porportion of black football players in the national team. People who complain about that don't understand that they just picked the best players. This gender debate is the same problem.

I'd argue that it's not the same problem. I'm not French, but I doubt that there are calls to make the Football team more representative of the population by forcefully limiting the number of black people in football teams starting at the junior level.

Which is what we effectively are seeing in the US - Harvard class of 2021 will be <50% white, while the country obviously isn't.
Because DEF CON is for whitehats / reformed blackhats so it shouldn't be an issue?

You can be right that it will crash and still lose your shirt if you short it, if you are wrong about the timing. As Keynes said: “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”

There is an inherent asymmetry between going long and short. If you're going long, your losses are capped at what you put in, and your gains are unlimited. The opposite is true if you are going short: your losses are unlimited, but your gains are limited.

The main selling points for Go for me are:

- static typed language with very fast compilation
- compiles to single binary, easy tooling, easy to deploy
- if you use use a lot of Go based tools like Docker, kubernetes, hashicorp tools etc
- good built in concurrency, easier than node and Java imho
- it's fast
- almost feels like using a scripting language

It will be faster than Python and easier/less boilerplate than Java.

The only selling point for node is if you absolutely love JS or only know that well, you can work on backend. It has many bad points that makes it a nightmare over time, like contstantly new and abandondened frameworks and modules. Npm has gotten better but it was a nightmare for automated ci, uses all file handles on shared machines due to node modules filling up with files. Also see left pad... I got turned off after working with it for a couple of years.

Getting money back is just one point in the probabilistic set of possible outcomes. Investment is all about risk, therefore you really cannot ignore that part.

Completely over the top illustrative example: you give me money for ten years to invest in real estate, because your investment portfolio is lacking in that sector. I blow it all on cocaine and hookers, then when the money is due I get nervous, buy lottery tickets and win. You get your money back, with a nice profit attached in the upper parts of what could be expected by a real estate investment. Was I a faithful manager of your money? Hell no! If you wanted lottery tickets you would have bought them yourself.
There's a pretty large difference in response to non-credible threats against POTUS Vs very credible threats against even ex-wives.

One sees huge amounts of state power used to investigate and prosecute; the other not so much, even though a significant number of people are murdered by current of former partners.
Accused may not mean convicted, but it probably does mean a year in jail awaiting trial, and at trial, and paying for a lawyer that costs tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundreds of thousands.

They don't give you back your lawyer money if you're found innocent. They don't give you back any job that you may have lost, and they certainly don't give you back the money you would have earned during that time.
You seem to be criticising them for doing the exact same thing that you ended up doing.
thats not the same thing
How can a journalist ever consider themselves to have self esteem in their work if they never read the primary documents that are central to the story?

She writes: "Motherboard has not viewed the full document, but a screenshot we reviewed."... That's all!

The article then follows is a kind of social media reaction recap. Possibly reactions by some people who also have not read the actual primary source, perhaps? (How can we tell?)

Shoddy journalism if that is the case. I mean the whole thing sure sounds like it's pretty bad, but sounds like is literally hearsay and not good journalism.

Edits - perhaps the author of the article has reasons for not publishing the screenshot they are basing their reporting on? Could it be copyright / permission from the document author, or the screenshot maker?
That's a good counter argument, thank you. This is why I also mentioned betting against over a multi-year period, which you can do manually like Sam Altman did with tech valuations, or using something like longbets.org. You can also structure the bets so your losses or gains are limited or unlimited on whatever side you want, assuming you find a counterparty who is willing to take the bet.

It is definitely more work though and maybe not something most people are willing to do unless they have strong reasons to believe they are right and can profit from it.

(Another way is also to do proxy bets/investments, i.e. go long on things that are inversely correlated with X, but this is less practical in the case of cryptocurrencies for various reasons.)
So, in other words, anecdotal evidence.

So let's quantify what "proficient" means. How would you measure of someone is proficient in a programming language?
Thanks for commenting. I think I took the statement too literally. If I understand you correctly, the transition from Python to Go is easier because learning/using Go requires less cognitive overhead than what is required of Python to Rust.

It's basically ergonomic C++ so it's very familiar to the kind of people who do games for a living, the VM is world-beatingly fast, and it's an easy language to hire for. Most games companies use Windows anyway so the MS lock-in isn't so much of a downside (obviously C# isn't Windows-only now but it's still controlled by MS).
ColdFusion wasn't always owned by Adobe.

The software was developed by Allaire in 1995. Macromedia bought Allaire in 2001, and Adobe bought Macromedia in 2005 [1].

Here's the current track record from '06 and onward [2].

That itself is a huge logic jump that is being made, both by the DoJ and the infosec community. His bail was set at 30k, the 10% rule makes his bail 3k, so he should be out by tomorrow if he really deved that malware.

I think it would be great if Apple designed their products to be user serviceable so if something like a screen breaks all you have to do is buy the screen and repair it yourself instead of sending to a repair store, but I definitely don't agree that Apple designs their products to fail.

First of all, what evidence? And secondly, does it? (Like the horrific experiment on David Reimer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer)

I have 1 son and 2 daughters, and I have plenty of nieces and cousins. The personality of each child has a bigger impact on how they behave than I had imagined. And also, boys are way different than girls. They are equal, but they are different none the less.

So instead of trying to throw them all in one pile and expect to have a 50-50 men-women working in technology, accept the difference, and let any person decide what they want to do in their lives.

Boys are different than girls. They are equal, but different. If you can't accept this, then I can imagine you have all kinds of diversity problems where you expect that everyone is the same, likes to do the same things, etc.

I recall a funny answer when one of my computer science professors asked "What can we do so that more girls sign up of Master in Computer Science". One smart guy answered: "Make sure it has less to do with computers". (In US you would probably get kicked out of the university because someone felt offended, or that it's a sexist remark)

Women are very welcome in technology, I worked with a lot of very nice and smart women, and had one of the best managers that was a woman and mother of 2 kids. But why do you expect that the average woman will have as much interest in technology as the average man?

Or you can pay a Bails Bondsmen 10% of that, as a fee, they will put up the court a 30K BOND then assure the court they will make you appear or pay the court the 30K if skip

You as the individual however lose that $3k.
> The document said that improving racial and gender diversity is less important than making sure conservatives feel comfortable expressing themselves at work.

The spirals are actually there, partially concealed by plain circles, so seeing spirals is not really incorrect. Your visual system is good at seeing concealed things. That's why I disagree with it being classified as an illusion. Though not as much as with the Kanizsa triangle.
But those are all potentially controversial topics and people can get a bit passionate about things especially if they hold an opinion contrary to whatever is considered mainstream.

Especially on topics that have massive media focus. But that's healthy isn't it? Especially in a place like this that has a higher than average level of discussion.

And really so what if someone is actually a paid shill? If they can hold a reasonable discussion to get their point across and perhaps even enlighten me to something I was ignorant of then I welcome them.

In reality I imagine a paid shill would work off of some sort of set of talking points that gets pushed to an entire team but even in this case civil discussion should be able to tear apart what are likely to be fairly weak arguments.
That's incompetent as well as lazy. The saying refers to someone who is intelligent yet lazy. An intelligent CEO would have delegated payslips to someone who would get the job done. Also an intelligent CEO wouldn't let you know he was bunking off all day for moral.

Show HN: Jobcamp.co, (not) yet another webapp for job seekers
Hi HN community!

Wanted to share a first beta of https://jobcamp.co, a webapp I created aiming exclusively at supporting job seekers in the creation of their job application.

Realizing how it's complicated to organize and track own job applications, how every resume should be refined for every job posting you're applying for and finally how lonely you can be while looking for job, I've brainstormed and designed Jobcamp.co.

The manifesto would be : Be organized ! Do your homework! Good alone, but better together!

It has been developed and designed visually with bubble.is.

Would love to have any feedback, critics about it and feel free to share it to anyone who can need it!

Matt

Definitely. I said that poorly, what I meant was "it'd unquestionably be hard in Python, and it'd even be hard in Java"
if enough people call out the lack of accessibility in UI libraries, it brings that requirement into the cultural norm.

The commenter is merely trying to push this into the cultural norm. I concur with such sentiments.
In C it's useful as it allows you to still const a variable when assigning a value conditionally.

Using the Blockstream narrative to dismiss contradictory ideas is basically how r/btc maintains their belief it's a success. It's been very entertaining watching them seize on every big block as proof the "small-blockers" are wrong that nodes couldn't keep up even though the overall transaction rate is actually a small fraction of Bitcoin's right now and arguing that the price going up was a sign that everyone claiming they'd dump their BCH was lying back when no exchanges were accepting deposits.

Also, as you point out big block isn't really the defining characteristic of the Bitcoin Cash fork since in principle Bitcoin is having a block size increase in the near future too. The bigger difference is ripping out the SegWit fix for transaction malleability, with the stated intention of making Lightning Network off-chain payments which require malleability to be fixed not work. In an interesting attack of irony, the ViaBTC exchange (one of its main proponents) just has to stop withdrawals because transaction malleability was breaking them: https://twitter.com/ViaBTC/status/893744282087047168
How do they block light and show a texture (eg. the shiny table)?
I said nothing about whether it works. A functioning system with the shortcomings and usage patterns of bitcoin does not warrant the large rise in price over the last 12 months IMO.

As far as I've been able to figure out, he wrote an open source API hooking engine that was used as a key component of the Kronos malware.

When he found his hooking code in a malware sample (presumably Kronos), he expressed his disappointment / frustration with this (ab)use of his work on twitter. Whether or not this is truthful or just public posturing remains to be seen.

None of this is recent news - it played out in early 2016, so his arrest now is a little odd, unless the DOJ has uncovered new details that have not been publicly disclosed.

If it turns out he is arrested for some of his public code in a piece of malware, it should worry both security researchers and open source developers a lot.
I see no value in this at all without headgear.
The government has also been shown to be very vindictive and has a strong desire for revenge.

Wanncry was a massive black eye of the US Government, I think everyone believing there is zero connection between his involvement in that and this indictment is also naive.

I also fail to understand why you believe "computer crimes" are handled differently than any other type of crime, why you believe the DOJ would frame people for "other types of crimes" but never computer crimes, like there is some prohibition on entrapment when it comes to computers...
